Resign as a judge?
Chen Ru was surprised.
This doesn't sound like something that would come out of Wu Chunqin's mouth at all!
If Chen Ru's character is merely assertive, Wu Chunqin's tenacity is undeniable—few women can match Wu Chunqin's unwavering determination. After being assigned to a factory, she educated herself and then earned a place in university. Prior to this, Wu Chunqin rejected countless eager matchmakers. Initially welcomed, she was eventually labeled an eccentric old woman. Neither the persuasion of friends nor the misunderstanding of family members could deter Wu Chunqin from pursuing her goal.
When Wu Chunqin felt that she had made some progress, love naturally came to her and she married Professor Shen from the same school.
If Wu Chunqin was still in the factory, no one would introduce her to Professor Shen, but when Wu Chunqin went to university, she and Professor Shen fell in love with each other without anyone introducing her!
Of course, Wu Chunqin's original intention was not just to find an outstanding husband. Her marriage to Professor Shen was more like a one-for-one gift from God after she improved herself.
Chen Ru knew Wu Chunqin's struggle very well, so she was surprised by Wu Chunqin's answer.
"I thought—"
"Do you think I will persuade you to let Wen Ying continue to hold on?"
On the other end of the phone, Wu Chunqin sighed, "Wen Ying is different from us. To be realistic, we are just ordinary people. Even I am just an ordinary person with a slightly better life now. Due to my limited qualifications, it is impossible for me to achieve great academic success, so I left university. This is a helpless choice. I never accept my fate, but I must have a clear understanding of my own abilities...Wen Ying is different. Wen Ying is a gifted child. We don't know how high her ceiling is!"
Wu Chunqin, who achieved success through his own efforts, actually talked about the "theory of talent" with Chen Ru.
Because in college, Wu Chunqin has met too many big guys!
She once thought that she only got into a junior college in the college entrance examination because she did not study hard enough, but her IQ was not inferior to others.
Actually, it’s not.
A truly intelligent person has first-rate memory and comprehension. They don't need to study hard late into the night. Let alone getting into a prestigious university, they certainly won't end up just getting into a junior college.
Wu Chunqin thought that she had made a comeback by entering university, but after meeting many bigwigs, she began to rediscover herself.
Her academic qualifications can be improved, but she is really not cut out for research.
It's not that improving academic qualifications is useless; years of persistent study have transformed Wu Chunqin. Rather, everyone has their own strengths, so why dwell on what they lack? Realizing that her academic career had no future, Wu Chunqin decisively changed her path.
Wen Ying is different.
The New Concept Writing Competition receives tens of thousands of entries every year. Wen Ying was able to stand out from the crowd, enter the semi-finals and win the first prize. This is talent.
There are so many publishing houses in the country and so many books are released every year. "Teenage Idol" is able to surpass the works of the same period and sell well. This is talent!
Wu Chunqin fully recognizes Wen Ying's talent in literary creation.
Unlike ordinary people, Wen Ying is a literary genius.
Do geniuses not need to work hard?
No.
Genius needs to work harder!
Geniuses and ordinary people are not on the same track. The opponents of geniuses are other geniuses.
Geniuses not only need to work hard, but also need to be carefully nurtured. Before they reach the top of the mountain, there are too many external factors that can cause a genius to die young.
That would be such a pity.
During Chen Ru's silence, Wu Chunqin elaborated on her thoughts: "When I said I'd resign as a judge, I wasn't asking Wen Ying to admit defeat, but rather to retreat in order to advance. She's already made a move, so I can find someone to defend her. This essay competition has received so much attention, even more than the New Concept Essay Competition. Can Wen Ying handle this level of attention and pressure alone?"
Of course it’s good to have excellent children.
But compared to excellence, physical and mental health is more important!
Wu Chunqin did not want to see the young death of a genius, and even more did not want to see her old classmate's daughter being harmed by public opinion violence.
Wen Ying is still so young, it's not that she can't afford to retreat - this retreat is to accumulate strength for a more stunning appearance. If the novels published by Wen Ying after "Teenage Idol" can still be popular, those critics who are now scolding Wen Ying will be very angry. Results are always the best weapon for counterattack. Wu Chunqin wants to save Wen Ying from the public opinion storm and buy more time for Wen Ying to grow!
Wu Chunqin only made this suggestion because she regarded Chen Ru as a true friend.
Chen Ru was not ungrateful. After a long silence, there was uncertainty in Chen Ru's voice:
"Wen Ying might not agree to resign..."
Everyone else was worried about Wen Ying, but Wen Ying herself was not worried.
I go to school as usual every day, and go to the magazine to review manuscripts after school. In the evening, the magazine arranges a car to take me home. I am picked up and dropped off every day, and the treatment of the judges is not low at all!
It seems that it was not affected too much.
It was as if those critics' criticism of "fish swimming upstream" had nothing to do with Wen Ying... Chen Ru had a headache. "Who do you think she resembles? She's so careless. Is she really not angry, or is she just holding it in so we don't see it?"
No matter which situation it is, Wen Ying's behavior is not normal.
Now it was Wu Chunqin's turn to be surprised.
"So, she's pretty stable?"
Wu Chunqin thought that Wen Ying could no longer bear the pressure, so Chen Ru came to her for help.
But Wen Ying didn’t!
Wu Chunqin immediately changed her tone: "Then don't resign. I underestimated your daughter. If a little girl can hold on, what's the big deal if we adults give in first?"
