Xie Qian is a person who does not easily express his emotions.
Whether he would help Peng Guoqing or not, no one else was sure except Wen Ying who had a hunch.
Peng Guoqing himself was not sure.
On the weekend, Wen Ying and the other two went to Xie Qian's house for extra lessons, and Peng Guoqing shamelessly followed them.
Zou Weijun was startled when he saw Peng Guoqing: "Xiao Peng?"
When Peng Guoqing saw Zou Weijun, he felt like he had met a relative. He took out a gift box from his schoolbag like a magic trick and said it was a gift his mother prepared for Zou Weijun.
Mrs. Peng didn't give her anything expensive, just two silk scarves, the latest fashions from Paris. She said the scarves were a touch of embellishment for Zou Weijun, adding that spring was coming, and they let her style her outfits as she pleased.
Although Mrs. Peng spends all day catching people cheating or praying to gods, she has excellent taste. Both scarves are very suitable for Zou Weijun.
In front of Zou Weijun, Peng Guoqing deeply reviewed his past lack of knowledge and skills, saying that he had now transferred to Chengdu and would follow Xie Qian's example to become an excellent student who studies hard. Wang Shuang's expression was very constipated, and at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable - Peng Guoqing's smooth actions and words made Wang Shuang feel very familiar.
Zou Weijun didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
After learning that Mrs. Peng hadn't come to Chengdu to accompany him to study, Zou Weijun asked Peng Guoqing to come to their house for dinner more often and to ask Xie Qian if he had any questions about his studies. "Help each other and make progress together, isn't that right, Little Peng?"
That’s so true!
As long as you are thick-skinned, you can really make your dreams come true.
Peng Guoqing looked at Xie Qian pitifully.
Xie Qian still couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
Peng Guoqing was a little nervous again.
Is it impossible to conquer Zou Weijun?
It seems that I still have to continue to perform well!
Li Mengjiao and Wen Ying fell behind, watching Peng Guoqing fawning over Zou Weijun. Li Mengjiao rubbed her eyes and said, "This Peng Guoqing is really weird. He's only transferred here a few days ago, but why do I feel like I've known him for ages?"
Besides being disgusted with each other, can poor students also hit it off right away?
Bah! Bah! Bah!
Definitely not.
Wen Ying immediately revealed the secret: "Because the way he speaks and acts is very similar to Wang Shuang's mother."
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Li Mengjiao suddenly understood.
She does look a lot like Mother Wang, very thick-skinned... Well, I was wrong, she is very outgoing.
…
While Peng Guoqing was trying hard to break into Xie Qian's small group, the semi-final manuscripts for the third round of the short story group of the essay competition were selected.
"Song Chan?"
Wen Ying was a little surprised when she saw Song Chan's name.
Zhang Guangzhen was puzzled. "Is there something wrong? I've seen this author's manuscripts. This isn't her first submission; she's submitted five or six in total. Her writing was mediocre at first, but with this one, the stories are finally interesting to read."
"So-so" is Zhang Guangzhen's evaluation of Song Chan's writing level.
If Song Foxiang heard this, he would probably fight with Zhang Guangzhen!
What's so careless about it?
Although Song Chan's achievements are not as good as Wen Ying's, she has also published a book and won the first prize of the New Concept Award!
However, Zhang Guangzhen and the judges of the New Concept Competition obviously have completely different criteria for judging manuscripts. The "new" in the New Concept means that the text is refreshing to read. Song Chan's previous submissions were a bit bookish, relying on her writing skills to show off.
An essay competition doesn’t need such showmanship, it just needs an interesting story!
However, although Song Chan was not selected in the first two issues, she was still remembered by Zhang Guangzhen because of her writing skills.
By the third period, Song Chan seemed to have finally come to her senses and understood the needs of the 'Tianjiao Spark Cup'. She gave up on the meaningless display of words and started with story creativity, writing a short story that refreshed Zhang Guangzhen.
Zhang Guangzhen didn't know that Song Chan was Song Foxiang's daughter.
From the judges' point of view, Song Chan's new story is qualified to be shortlisted for the finals. As for what prize it will win, Zhang Guangzhen has no say. It was agreed that the readers' vote would determine the ranking, so it is up to the readers to decide. The essay competition will never engage in fraud in this regard!
After being asked this question by Wen Ying, Zhang Guangzhen began to doubt his own aesthetic taste.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking. Mr. Fu has already seen it, right?"
"Yes, I've read it. Mr. Fu didn't delete Song Chan's manuscript."
Since Mr. Fu did not eliminate it, it means that he agreed with Zhang Guangzhen's choice. Song Chan's novel is indeed good enough to be shortlisted for the finals.
After reading so many entries, it is hard to judge whether Wen Ying's writing skills have improved, but her reviewing skills have definitely improved.
Wen Ying carefully read Song Chan's manuscript twice and felt that Song Chan's writing was really good.
Hey, it seems that Miss Song Chan made the right choice to study abroad. If she doesn't go abroad, she will always live under the wings of Song Foxiang. With a father like Song Foxiang who wants to arrange every step for Song Chan, it will be difficult for Song Chan to get real training.
A smooth life is a kind of happiness.
If Song Chan wants to be an ordinary person, of course the happier the better. There is a simple mode, who would be willing to choose the hell mode!
But Song Chan wants to create and become a writer, so her life cannot be too comfortable... It's not that Wen Ying wants to curse Song Chan and thinks that Song Chan must suffer a little, but "creation" itself requires a certain amount of life experience.
Without life experience, the stories you write will be very vague.
From the work selected by Zhang Guangzhen, Wen Ying saw Song Chan's progress.
"That's it. I think it's pretty good."
All three judges had no objections, and Song Chan's manuscript was selected for the third round of the semi-finals.
When the names and information of the authors of the short story group semi-finals of the third round of the essay competition were announced, Song Foxiang was stunned at first.
"When did Song Chan participate in the competition?"
