Chapter 158 Good People Live a Peaceful Life
Whose work is the best, you or so-and-so?
This question sounds simple, but it is difficult to answer.
Especially in front of such a large audience.
If you say your work is good, someone is bound to accuse you of being arrogant.
If you say that someone else's work is worse than yours, you are publicly admitting that your skills are not as good as theirs.
Although some people may say that you are being humble, this kind of humility can also be seen as a means of attack.
Fang Yuqing was sitting in the audience and couldn't help but worry for Cheng Xuyuan.
At the same time, she felt a little more resentful towards Su Li who was sitting on the podium.
If you don't want to offend people by commenting on their works, you can just not say it. Why do you have to let Cheng Xuyuan go up and offend people?
Really! Just as Fang Yuqing was thinking about this, she heard someone mutter beside her, "This question is not easy to answer!"
"I also find it difficult to answer. If I were on stage, I think I would choose "The Pursuit of Happyness"."
"Hehe, that would give them an advantage!"
As these murmurs were heard, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "There is actually no need to ask this question. The answer has already been given."
“As an author, every work is like their child.”
"As the saying goes, a son never thinks his mother is ugly. As parents, how can we authors think that our works are bad?"
"I think if Lao Liu were standing here, he would also give me an answer from the same starting point as mine."
"I think The Pursuit of Happyness is good, but Lao Liu thinks his work is better than mine."
“The charm of words lies not in comparison but in enjoyment.”
After Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, the student who asked the question hesitated for a moment and said, "Xu Lingyun, although your answer is not what I want."
"But I want to say that I am very satisfied with your answer."
"Thanks!"
Before the student sat down, someone said loudly: "Xu Lingyun, I really like you."
"But your "Desire", why did you let Liu Huifang marry Wang Husheng!"
"I think it's a blasphemy to write like this, a blasphemy to words and love."
As soon as this question was raised, it immediately attracted a lot of responses.
One female classmate even stood up and shouted in anger: "Xu Lingyun, The Pursuit of Happiness made me cry. I was so moved that I cried."
"But your "Desire" made me cry. I cried because I was so frustrated!"
"A good person like Liu Huifang shouldn't be treated like this."
As soon as the female classmate finished speaking, two other female classmates stood up. From their words, everyone present should have sensed their anger.
Su Li sat on the podium, watching all this in amazement.
This was his lecture, and it was about to end.
The reason why Cheng Xuyuan came on stage was not only to help him answer the difficult question, but also to play a joke on this young junior.
However, he didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan was besieged as soon as he came up.
This is too...
Su Li waved to Hong Zicheng who was standing next to him and said, "Zicheng, do you need to maintain order?"
Hong Zicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you don't have to worry too much about this."
“It’s just some academic debate.”
"I don't think our classmates will do anything out of line because of this."
After hearing this, Su Li stopped talking and watched Cheng Xuyuan's performance with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan originally thought that he would go on stage just to say hello.
At most, he helped Su Li answer questions, but he didn't expect that he would be asked such a difficult question right at the beginning.
This really made him feel helpless.
But the man was on the stage and the attackers were right in front of him.
In this situation, if you get knocked down, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan had all the information he remembered from his previous life in his mind.
It can be said that Cheng Xuyuan's brain is now like a fast-running computer, searching for all the comments about "Desire".
He did not interrupt those who stood up to ask questions, because these people were actually buying him time to think.
At this moment, friends who were familiar with Cheng Xuyuan in the audience were all sweating for him.
Especially those who are familiar with Cheng Xuyuan, they whispered to think of ideas for Cheng Xuyuan.
As the big brother in Chinese writing, Chen Jianxun had a lot of people gathered around him at this time.
Among them was Liu Zhenyun, whom Cheng Xuyuan was familiar with, and some whom Cheng Xuyuan did not know.
Liu Zhenyun said to Chen Jianxun: "Jianxun, Xiao Cheng is in trouble this time."
"If this question is not answered well, Xiao Cheng might be besieged."
Chen Jianxun said helplessly: "This is also inevitable."
"Liu Huifang is such a good woman, but he wrote her as marrying Wang Husheng."
"When I saw this part, I also felt like punching him."
"Not to mention those sentimental girls in our class."
Liu Zhenyun asked: "What should we do? Should we think of a way to help him out?"
"How do we get out of this?" Chen Jianxun asked, "Should we go up and replace him?"
"Don't say we can't change, those classmates don't want to either!"
Liu Zhenyun said helplessly: "It seems that we can only send him some blessings."
Not far from Liu Zhenyun and the others, Li Yufei's little face was also tense.
At this moment, her heart was also full of worries.
Although Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing's confirmed relationship made Li Yufei feel extremely disappointed.
He even secretly made up his mind to keep his distance from Cheng Xuyuan.
But at this moment, seeing him being besieged, she felt more worried.
"This guy deserves it!" Zhang Manling whispered, "Who told him to write nonsense and actually let Liu Huifang marry Wang Husheng? He deserves to be besieged!"
Having said this, as if she was still not satisfied, she stood up and said, "Xu Lingyun, everyone's questions have been raised, you can't remain silent!"
Having said this, he sat down again.
"Manling, what are you doing?" Li Yufei glanced at Zhang Manling and blamed her in a low voice.
Zhang Manling chuckled and said, "I just want to add fuel to the fire and vent your anger."
"Cheng Xuyuan is such a blind man. He knew that you liked him, but he was with Fang Yuqing."
"I think this guy has no good intentions at all!"
Zhang Manling obviously knew that Li Yufei was very sad recently, which made her feel full of righteous indignation and she wanted to stand up for her good friend.
At this point, Zhang Manling whispered again: "Fang Yuqing's family is not ordinary."
"Two days ago, I saw her brother driving a car to pick her up, and it was..."
"Maybe Cheng Xuyuan is trying to climb up the social ladder."
Li Yufei's nose was sore and she had an urge to cry. At this moment, she deeply realized that the person on the stage had hurt her mercilessly! For so many days, she was flustered and uneasy. On the surface, she pretended to be calm, but in her heart she was in extreme pain.
She grew up in Yanjing and her family had some connections, so she was familiar with some of the situations.
Even though she told herself over and over again in her heart that Cheng Xuyuan shouldn't be such a person, but...
She had an eager heart, but before she had the chance to express her feelings clearly to Cheng Xuyuan, this girl who was superior in all aspects bravely got there first.
Even though she told herself repeatedly that she would never see this man again, she couldn't control herself and silently paid attention to all the news about him.
Oh, my dear! I have been calling you in my heart, why can't you hear me?
Li Yufei didn't know that her eyes were filled with tears at the moment. Looking at Cheng Xuyuan on the stage, she thought of Fang Yuqing in pain and despair.
So, he instinctively looked towards Fang Yuqing's position, and saw that Fang Yuqing also had her mouth pursed and looked nervous.
Liu Hechu, who was standing at the back, was smiling and saying to the man next to him: "Brother, Liu Huifang and Wang Husheng are characters in Cheng Xuyuan's new novel "Desire"."
"It's just that this novel is too long, so only half of it was published."
"I've read it, too. To be honest, the novel is well written, but he made Liu Huifang marry Wang Husheng, which made us hate him very much."
"I think this Wang Husheng is not writing about himself."
Fang Yuqing's brother said calmly: "This guy is really capable of causing trouble."
"Words reflect one's heart. This is what an elder said."
"Since Cheng Xuyuan wrote what you said, there must be something wrong with his character."
Just at this moment, the condemnation from all sides finally calmed down, and all eyes were once again focused on Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan, who had almost finished thinking, had now completely calmed down.
He smiled and said, "Dear students, I am here like everyone else to attend the lecture."
"I was just pulled out by Mr. Su to answer a question. I am very honored."
"But if you ask me to continue answering questions now, I think I'm taking over the show."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said to Su Li: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry!"
Su Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my lecture is almost over. I didn't expect you to be so popular."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come up."
Su Li said this jokingly, but more importantly, he wanted to express his apology to Cheng Xuyuan.
After all, the current situation was something Su Li had not expected.
He just asked Cheng Xuyuan to come up and answer the question. In addition to playing a joke on Cheng Xuyuan, the main reason was that he didn't want to answer the question that might offend people.
But he didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan would come up and solve his problem.
But this guy Cheng Xuyuan seems to be too popular.
He was under siege as soon as he came to power.
Even I don’t know how to get out of this situation.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded towards Su Li and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Su. Since everyone is so concerned about "Desire", I will talk to you systematically."
"The reason I wrote the story of "Desire" was because of something I heard last time when I was on the car going back to my hometown."
"It is a story about a young female worker who raised a sick baby girl she found."
"The story is not long and sounds very plain, but I feel that in this plainness, there is a kind of kindness and great love hidden..."
"At that time, I wanted to write this story down, but I didn't know how to start."
"Until one day, I heard the story of an adopted son who gave up his family and career to treat his adopted mother's illness."
"These stories make me feel that in our lives, there is not only love, but also friendship and family affection..."
“That’s why I started writing.”
"For the novel "Desire", I focused on people's pursuit of sincerity, kindness and beauty in ordinary life."
…
Cheng Xuyuan didn't have a microphone, and his voice was not loud, but in the huge Second Canteen, his words were rhythmic and powerful.
Almost everyone tilted their ears and listened to what Cheng Xuyuan said.
"If I were to summarize the purpose of writing this novel in one sentence, I think it would be to wish good people a peaceful life!"
Cheng Xuyuan's voice became a little hoarse when he said this. He said in a low voice: "The appearance may age, but kindness will never change.
May this world——
Kindness never expires Good intentions are always rewarded Good people can live in peace all their lives! "
As the last sentence was spoken, applause broke out above the Second Canteen. The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time!
Today is the second update. It's the end of the month. Please vote for the monthly tickets quickly, otherwise they will be invalid. Hehehe
