It was not surprising that Mrs. Wang had never heard of Mr. Fu's name.
Mr. Fu is not a best-selling author who lives under the attention of the media, but rather takes the academic path.
He started teaching in the 1950s and has been active in the teaching front for half a century. Many of his monographs are considered to be "pioneering works" in their respective fields. His students are spread across the domestic literary and academic circles, and he is a well-deserved leading figure.
However, there is a barrier between the world of academic Mr. Fu and ordinary people. People in the relevant industry respect and admire Mr. Fu, but a full-time housewife like Mrs. Wang has never even heard of his name... Mrs. Wang asked when she didn't understand, and Zou Weijun didn't think Mrs. Wang was illiterate. He briefly introduced Mr. Fu's situation. When Mrs. Wang heard about Mr. Fu's achievements, she exclaimed in admiration!
"Sister Zou, how could you invite Mr. Fu?"
Even an illiterate person like Mrs. Wang was particularly surprised that Zou Weijun was able to invite Mr. Fu after learning about his status in the world.
It's not that Mrs. Wang herself is belittling the main board's essay competition. It's just that Mr. Fu's qualifications and status are so superior that it feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for him to be a judge for the essay competition.
But the more this happens, the more it shows how amazing Zou Weijun is!
"Actually, I didn't expect Mr. Fu to agree."
Zou Weijun asked someone to contact the Fu family, but before he could even speak to Mr. Fu, he was rejected by the Fu family.
The reason is certainly not that Mr. Fu looks down on this small essay competition, but that the old man is old and has rarely left the city where he lives in recent years. He is afraid that he does not have enough energy to be a judge.
Zou Weijun didn't expect Mr. Fu to read the preliminary manuscripts one by one. The workload was too heavy, and the work had to be done by new forces like Wen Ying and Zhang Guangzhen. Mr. Fu's joining was more to stabilize the situation and serve as the mainstay of the competition to control the direction of the competition.
Zou Weijun wanted to invite Mr. Fu to be a judge, but didn't want to bother the old man to come to Chengdu, so he suggested sending the manuscript to the city where the old man was.
This was a very sincere proposal, which took Mr. Fu into consideration in every aspect. After discussion, the Fu family gave the decision-making power to the old man.
When Zou Weijun was finally able to speak directly to Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu asked him in detail about the competition. In the end, he actually took the initiative to bring up "Hush, Little Secret", praised Zou Weijun, and agreed to be a judge.
It is easy for Zou Weijun to talk about the twists and turns in this matter now, but if someone else were to go in and talk about it, no matter how eloquently they talk, they would be rejected by the Fu family - neither Yuan Fenghui nor Mrs. Wang could do it. Yuan Fenghui was able to use money to persuade the Chinese pop singer Hu Man to participate in "Star River With You", but using the same trick in front of Mr. Fu was simply an insult to him.
"Wen Ying and Teacher Zhang will first conduct a preliminary screening and select a number of high-quality manuscripts. We will then send these manuscripts to Professor Fu for review, and finally determine the list of candidates who will enter the semi-finals."
This is the procedure that Zou Weijun has already discussed with Mr. Fu.
Mrs. Wang was curious about why Zou Weijun was able to invite a figure like Mr. Fu to be a judge. Wen Ying could understand that Zou Weijun's family was actually in the academic circle, and she became a "businesswoman" after marrying Xie Jinghu, which made it impossible for Zou Weijun to make much use of her family's connections. Now that Zou Weijun has entered the publishing industry and is closely related to "culture", she is really like a fish in water.
Zou Weijun's arrangement made Wen Ying feel pressured but also at ease.
Mr. Fu really doesn't need to read every submission. With such a big man standing behind him, all the organizers of this essay competition will have confidence - our essay competition is absolutely authoritative!
Not convinced?
Mr. Fu is an authority!
"Aunt Zou, when do you plan to announce this news?"
The essay writing competition has been criticized online for several days, with people saying it is "vulgar". Once the news of Mr. Fu joining the jury is announced, those online critics will be slapped in the face.
The face-slapping scene was exactly what Wen Ying was expecting!
However, in order to enjoy a slap in the face, you need to master the technique and timing.
It's too early to slap him in the face, and the sense of satisfaction hasn't reached its peak yet. It's a bit of a waste of Mr. Fu's appearance.
In addition to online public opinion, real media will also be reporting on the essay competition soon. If all the media knew that Mr. Fu was going to join, the number of media outlets that dared to criticize the essay competition would be greatly reduced, and only the media outlets that spoke well of it would remain, which would be detrimental to increasing the attention paid to the competition!
“You…”
Zou Weijun is very tolerant and doting towards Wen Ying. People who don't like Wen Ying will regard Wen Ying's suggestions as "utilitarian", and even dare to take advantage of Mr. Fu's appearance time, saying that it is disrespectful to the old senior. But Zou Weijun, who likes Wen Ying, just thinks that Wen Ying is a mischievous and rascal!
While Mrs. Wang complained that Yuan Fenghui enslaved her like a donkey in the production team, she couldn't help but analyze and think from the perspective of a public relations manager.
Since we have invited Mr. Fu, of course we have to maximize the benefits!
"I agree with Wen Ying's suggestion. We still have to keep the news of Mr. Fu being a judge a secret. No, it's not called a deliberate concealment. Of course, the most important person should appear last!"
Zou Weijun and Xiao Niu looked at Mrs. Wang without saying anything.
Now it was Wen Ying's turn to admire Mrs. Wang.
Why can some people make shameless words sound so cute?
As expected, they are the Wang family who can sell mobile phones on Taisheng South Road!
If you are not cunning, you will not be able to suppress Wang's army.
At this time, Wen Ying's phone vibrated. She took out her phone and saw that it was a congratulatory text message from Song Shao.
Song Shao asked her to read the great writer.
This is not sarcasm, but ridicule.
Wen Ying couldn't help but laugh, "Auntie Zou, you guys chat first, I'll call someone back."
Wen Ying walked aside and made a phone call. From time to time, words came to her. The content was nothing special, but the light-hearted atmosphere during the conversation could be felt even by others.
Mrs. Wang came close to Zou Weijun and whispered, "It seems to be a boy, Sister Zou, you can't be too careless... You know."
What do you know?
Zou Weijun was amused by Mrs. Wang.
As a mother, do I have to help my son find a girlfriend?
If you can't even attract girls, then you'd better be single for the rest of your life!
Zou Weijun shook his head gently. "They are still young. They have such a wonderful time. There are so many things they can do."
The feelings of young people are the most vague and touching, and there is really no need to expose them.
Zou Weijun believes in "let nature take its course". Although she likes Wen Ying very much, she does not think that Wen Ying is someone's property. Wen Ying can choose according to her own preferences in the future instead of being restricted early on!
Well, that's it. It's definitely not because he was influenced by Mrs. Wang and wanted to tease his son to see when his academic genius would come to his senses.
Mrs. Wang didn't know what Zou Weijun was thinking and felt very ashamed.
Sister Zou is so positive.
This is what being a mother is like.
Should I be nicer to Wang Shuang in the future?
But think about it, there is such a big difference between Wang Shuang and Xie Qian. It won’t be too late to enjoy his mother’s love until he can be half as good as Xie Qian!
