Chapter 227 This kid has been holding back on evil
"What did Li Ye say his pen name was?"
"It's called Seven-Inch Blade. He said it so clearly, but you didn't understand?"
"Who is Seven-Inch Blade? Why do you all look so weird?"
"Are you kidding my classmate? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to vote! I'm Wo Cao, the voting representative of the Big Poplar Literary Society by the Weiming Lake. I'm the Seven-inch Blade who wrote "North Wind Flying"? Why is he here?"
“.”
Ninety-nine percent of those who have carefully read "Homelander" know who Seven-Inch Blade is.
Since Dong Yuejin was ordered to take over the "New Wind" monthly magazine in a critical moment, he has joined forces with many authors to create a new "historical inspirational" novel genre based on the history of flower planting and with self-confidence, inspiration and self-reliance as the keynote.
"The North Wind Flying" by Seven Inch Blade is recognized as the pioneering work of the same type of novel, while "The Lone Soldier Looking Back to Hometown", the masterpiece of the Lone Army Literary Society, can only be regarded as its successor.
Not to mention the two novels, which are now being serialized simultaneously in the monthly magazine "Xinfeng".
So Li Ye's words "I also have another name called Seven-Inch Blade" confused almost everyone in the auditorium.
Except for the smiling Wen Leyu and Mu Yuning.
[This kid has been holding back on doing bad things, just waiting for this moment! ]
The people in the audience were all confused, but Li Ye on the stage did not stop his speech.
"When I came to Beijing University to study, my family advised me to keep a low profile and learn professional knowledge first, so as to avoid being criticized by teachers for not doing my job properly.
I was also very scared at the time. After all, there are so many geniuses in Kyoto University. Even if I studied hard, I might not be able to keep up with the learning progress. It was so difficult to get the teacher to praise me.
But when I met several like-minded classmates and got to know each other better, I suddenly realized that Kyoto University is a good place to create this kind of work. "
Li Ye paused for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "Because Beijing University has the richest and most comprehensive historical data,
Because Kyoto University has the most erudite and professional students, the freest and most open-minded literary atmosphere, and enough ability to show off the civilization of our ancestors.
Now I just want to ask one question.”
Li Ye was silent for a few seconds, then asked loudly: "Do we have the most confident students here? Do we have the most self-reliant companions here?
Are there any of us who are willing to, because of our identity as flower growers, because of our black hair and yellow skin,
The descendants of flower growers are willing to feel proud and proud of having a splendid civilization of 5,000 years.
“.”
The whole audience was silent for a long time, and Li Ye did not get the answer he wanted.
He calmed down and said softly, "Is it possible that there is none?"
No one spoke, but someone answered.
“Pah~Pah~”
Applause is like heavy rain in summer, just a few drops falling at first, but then sweeping across the earth like the wind.
“Pah pah pah pah~”
Almost everyone applauded willingly.
If Li Ye said these words to those miserable people who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, he might not get a strong response, because they have been tortured by life and have lost their passion.
If Li Ye had said this to those who have suffered from the injustice of fate and are struggling for three meals a day, he would not have received any applause, because their hearts are still numb.
If Li Ye said this to those experienced professionals in the workplace, he would probably be mocked, because in the minds of experienced professionals, there is no room for anything else except power, wealth and beauty.
But Li Ye's words were directed to the undisputed "chosen one" of this era, to the young people full of vigor and vitality.
Let me ask all the young people present here, who doesn’t have some great ambitions for the future, who doesn’t have some arrogance to compete with the gods?
Therefore, Li Ye's speech was destined to win the applause of everyone, and only a very small number of people cursed him in their hearts.
For example, Naoto Nakamura.
[Bageyalu, bastard! ]
Naoto Nakamura destroyed most of the favors and connections he had accumulated over the past two years because he defended the Great Chrysanthemum Empire in his mind at a lecture in the Department of Economics last year.
This year, after learning from the painful experience, we must find ways to restore our "friendly" image.
He saw the opportunity and asked his men to buy the comic adaptation rights of "Homeward Bound" in the name of Nakamura Company.
But just when things were about to be done, Li Ye interfered and insisted on stating in the contract that the plot, characters, historical truth, etc. must not be changed.
Are you kidding me? Do you know what adaptation is?
If we, the Chrysanthemum people, are not allowed to rewrite history, it would be like binding our souls and limbs, and we would have no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
But just when both sides were arguing with each other and refusing to give in, Dong Yuejin somehow got the news and came over to intercept them.
Dong Yuejin is now a leading figure in mainland China's new literature and is only half a step away from becoming a big shot in the circle. Naoto Nakamura has no power to resist him.
Naoto Nakamura was here today just to ask politely why Li Ye and Dong Yuejin didn't care about morality and do good things instead of bad people.
But now it seems there is no need to ask, these two people have known each other for a long time and are in cahoots with each other.
Li Ye bowed slightly to the people on the stage, then walked down the stage amid applause. The host waited for a minute, letting the applause completely die down before speaking again.
"Please be quiet for a moment. We will now proceed to the voting phase. Students who have the right to vote, please fill out your ballot carefully and cast it into the ballot box in front of the podium."
"Excuse me, please wait a moment."
A sudden voice suddenly sounded, and Bian Jingjing, one of the candidates, stood up quietly.
She said loudly to the podium: "I'm sorry, leaders. I voluntarily withdraw from this election. Please forgive me."
"I'm quitting too, please forgive me."
"I quit too!"
Bian Jingjing's abstention was like touching a domino effect, instantly causing a chain reaction, resulting in all candidates choosing to withdraw. Even Du Yuan, who was unwilling to give in, gritted his teeth and said he would withdraw with a smile.
[You are a master of a sect, but you are running for the position of reserve president of a club. Don’t you think you are bullying the weak? ]
But he seemed to have forgotten that not long ago, he had implied that Li Ye was young, inexperienced, in a relationship, unstable, and therefore not suitable to be the leader of the literature club!
Since everyone else had abstained, this extraordinary selection was over, but the students present surrounded Li Ye and asked him questions, preventing him from leaving for a while.
The people in the school would not wait for Li Ye, so they took Dong Yuejin with them to build relationships.
In the end, Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin, with gloomy faces, each grabbed Li Ye's arm and dragged him out of the auditorium like a prisoner.
After leaving the auditorium, the two men dragged Li Ye straight to a dark place and blocked him in a corner, just like two gangsters blocking a girl.
"Come on, great writer, you've kept it a secret from us for so long, you must have an explanation, right?"
"Oh, what do you two elder brothers want to say? Just tell me what you want to say!"
"You're smart!"
Li Huaisheng pointed a finger at Li Ye: "Donglaishun, eat the pot!"
Yang Yumin also raised a finger: "Quanjude, let's eat roast duck!"
Li Ye looked at the two people's fingers and couldn't help asking, "I know Donglaishun and Quanjude, but what does this finger of yours mean?"
Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin were stunned, looked at each other, and immediately came up with an explanation.
"One meal per person. You must treat us one meal each, which adds up to four meals."
“Huh~”
Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the two were asking for a hundred tons! Then he had to bargain.
"Okay, bring along the brothers from our literature club, and you two can decide the time."
"So refreshing?"
Li Huaisheng looked at Li Ye in surprise, then said to Yang Yumin: "See, I'm afraid we're asking for a lower price."
Yang Yumin also pursed his lips and said, "You rich dog, you are really rich."
In fact, these two brothers are not really trying to lower their standards. Now everyone in the circle knows that Seven Inch Blade has nearly ten thousand yuan in royalties. How could they not know that? They said so because they knew that a few meals were just a drop in the bucket for Li Ye.
Moreover, although Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin were aggressively trying to rip people off now, they might not really want Li Ye to fulfill his promise later. It would be a big deal if Li Ye only ate one or two of the four meals.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, let's get down to business."
Yang Yumin said seriously: "Since you are an expert, then you should be the main writer of "Homesick Lonely Soldier" next time!"
"No, that won't work," Li Ye immediately refused. "Our writing styles are completely different. You should have read my novels. The words I use are simple and straightforward, and the plot and mood win.
Your style is characterized by the choice of words, which is delicate and gorgeous. A careful reading makes people think about it endlessly. If you change the person in the middle, the readers will be able to tell the change at a glance. "
"Oh, wow," Yang Yumin looked at Li Ye and laughed, "Although I know you are talking nonsense, I just like to listen to it."
Li Huaisheng on the side said: "This is not completely nonsense. Yumin, your writing style is indeed gorgeous. Even if Li Ye is a great writer, he can't compare to you in this respect."
In fact, the two people pulled him over just to test Li Ye's attitude. If Li Ye acted like a great writer, the relationship between the three people would probably become alienated in an instant.
However, Li Ye's attitude made the two feel that they had good vision and it was worth making friends with this little brother.
Li Ye said unhappily, "What great writer? We are all brothers, okay? Are you going to stop harping on such a small matter?"
Li Huaisheng chuckled and said, "Whether this is over or not depends on whether the brothers in the literature club agree. Let's go, they are still waiting for us!"
Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin took Li Ye away again, preparing to go to the Lone Army Literature Center. It was expected to be lively until late tonight.
Li Ye felt helpless. At this moment, he hoped that Wen Leyu could show up halfway and rescue him from the two evil dragons.
Wen Leyu and Li Ye were indeed in sync and were waiting for him halfway, but she was also with her class teacher Mu Yuning and the annoying Naoto Nakamura.
