"President Zhou, your decision is truly wise! We need talented newcomers like Qinglian Jushi!"
"Yes, fewer and fewer young people like modern poetry these days. We can't afford to have a generational gap."
Fortunately, Chairman Zhou had a keen eye for talent and quickly recruited this rising star, Qinglian Jushi, to his side.
"President Zhou is wise. I hope that under your leadership, the Modern Poetry Association will achieve an even more brilliant future..."
"If you ask me, it's all thanks to Chairman Zhou's efforts. Otherwise, our association's future would be bleak. Thank you, Chairman."
...
"Ahem, everyone, please stop praising me. It's my responsibility as the president to add new strength to the association; it's an inescapable duty..."
Seeing everyone in the group praising him, Zhou Wenhao replied with a beaming smile:
"Although our Modern Poetry Association is a small and relatively niche circle, as long as everyone works hard, it may very well grow bigger and bigger in the future."
This discovery of the young and talented poet Qinglian Jushi is an encouragement to everyone, and I hope everyone will continue to work hard..."
Upon hearing his platitudes, a new round of flattery began in the group:
"What the president said makes perfect sense. It's no exaggeration to call it a golden rule. We will definitely keep it in mind."
"Yes, this time our association will definitely create new glories under Chairman Zhou's leadership."
"By the way, Chairman Zhou, I didn't see you add Qinglian Jushi to the group. Did you forget about it?"
"Yes, we all want to see such a talented newcomer."
...
Upon seeing this, Zhou Wenhao's lips twitched, and he thought to himself with a hint of annoyance:
"Do you think it's because I didn't want to add him to the group? I had no choice."
That guy just said, "I'm socially awkward," and rejected all group invitations. What could you do about it?
President Zhou expressed his frustration.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have already started cursing, but this person is different; he needs the other person's talent to deal with his 'lifelong enemy'.
So even if he had any complaints, he could only endure them. Even if the other party rejected all the invitations to join the group, he still had to accept it.
However, President Zhou still had to explain the situation to the group members who were making requests:
"Everyone, here's the thing, Qinglian himself told me that he has a rather socially awkward personality, so I didn't add him to the group."
After all, a genius like him has his own habits, so there are things that are different from ordinary people. We should understand and be considerate of that.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the group suddenly realized:
"I knew it! How come this Qinglian Hermit, who is already a member of the association, has never shown his face?"
So he has social anxiety. Well, there's nothing we can do about it then. Geniuses are definitely different from ordinary people.
"I think it might be this very social anxiety that made Qinglian Jushi such a genius!"
"President Zhou has considered things very carefully. It turns out that Qinglian Jushi's absence from the group was not an oversight, but the result of careful consideration."
"Yes, it's just a pity that we never had the chance to meet such a talented poet."
...
Seeing that the topic of conversation had shifted to 'social anxiety', Zhou Wenhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But even as he relaxed, he couldn't help but think to himself:
"We won't bother with that guy for now, because we'll need his help to deal with Xu Lu at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering."
But once this matter is resolved, all that talk about 'social anxiety' and 'not wanting to use one's real name'... hmph...
"I can make you a member of the Modern Poetry Society, and I can also expel you from it. After all... I'm the president!"
...
Although the modern poetry circle is indeed somewhat niche, our Mr. Xu now enjoys considerable fame.
There are always some media outlets that, having no news to broadcast and unwilling to broadcast the weather forecast, keep an eye on him all day long.
Therefore, the "challenge" between the modern poetry circle and Director Xu, amplified by these media outlets, quickly went viral.
Netizens naturally discussed it extensively, and everyone was eager to get the latest gossip.
Besides, there are some people who had previous conflicts with Director Xu, who are now harboring ill intentions and expectations.
For example, Xiong Tang, who has been keeping a low profile recently.
His eyes lit up after seeing the news, and his expression became expectant.
"Xu Lu has offended too many people. Don't be fooled by his current success; one day he'll reap what he sows, and this might be the time."
I've heard that poet named Qinglian Jushi is quite a formidable character. I hope Xu Lu gets completely crushed by him; that would be truly gratifying.
Actually, to be honest, Mr. Xiong hasn't been in too bad a situation lately.
After all, in the last 'zombie movie war,' their Xia Lifei Films' 'Mage vs. Zombies' was one of the few films that did well at the box office.
However, due to his history of being defeated by Xu Lu many times, Xiong Tang barely managed to save his life in the 'zombie movie war'.
Therefore, Xiong Tang has not diminished his hatred for our President Xu in the slightest.
Given the chance, he wished that 'Xu Lu kid' would just explode on the spot!
And Xiong Tang is not the only one with this wish.
As this guy said, our CEO Xu has offended far too many people.
There's no way around it; once someone becomes successful, they're bound to attract more criticism.
As the saying goes, "The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind," which illustrates this point.
For example, there are many in the film and television industry, where Xu Lu's main profession is.
