Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 100: Professor Wang is Frustrated

Huacheng Publishing House.

Lao Wang, who was in charge of publicity, rushed into the general manager's office with an excited look on his face, and said to the general manager Xu Zhiwen, who looked up with a frown, "Boss Xu! Something happened, something serious!"

Xu Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, "What's the big deal? The sky is falling?"

Lao Wang shook his head, "No! But it's almost there. Zhongyuan Yidianhui said a lot of shocking things when he was interviewed by reporters today. I heard that the reporters at the scene were so excited that they almost went crazy. Now some media outlets that are quick to act have already posted the news online. Why don't you take a look?"

Xu Zhiwen frowned, "What did he say?"

At this critical juncture, if Cao Sheng gets involved in some scandal, it will not be good for the sales of "Living with a Flight Attendant". Recently, their publishing house has spent money hyping up the news for more than half a month in order to boost sales, hoping to make another profit!

Lao Wang: "Hey! I can't explain it in a few words, how about I help you find some news on the computer and show it to you!"

As he spoke, he walked around the desk and came to Xu Zhiwen's side, using Xu Zhiwen's office computer to search for news on the Internet.

He quickly pointed to a piece of news he had found and motioned Xu Zhiwen to read it.

Xu Zhiwen saw the headline of the news: "Zhongyuan Yidianhui angrily denounces Gongyang Buyu, Huang Shuren, Li Mubai, Wang Gongye and others!"

The main text of the news article reads: "Recently, the total sales of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's debut work "The Days of Living with the Air Hostess", which is his first work in the literary world, has exceeded one million copies, and various media outlets have reported on it. While it has attracted a lot of admiration, it has also attracted criticism from a group of veteran writers and professors.

For example, the famous writer Gong Yang Bu Yu, in an interview with the media, openly criticized the works of Zhong Yuan Yi Dian Hui, saying that the words were too plain and lacked the beauty of words. He also criticized the attitude towards life reflected in the works, saying that it was not positive and healthy.

In this regard, Zhongyuan Yidianhui, in an interview with our reporter, said frankly that he had never heard of Gongyang Bu Yu, and said that truly famous writers are all very qualified and care about young writers. He reminded us not to give people the title of "famous writer" casually, fearing that it would affect everyone's bad impression of famous writers. Our reporter agrees with this and will pay close attention to it in the future.

In addition, the famous writer Huang Shuren also openly criticized Zhongyuan Yidianhui's works.

In this regard, Zhongyuan Yidianhui told us very seriously: In his mind, there is only one famous writer named "Shu Ren", that is Zhou Shuren. He has never heard of other Shu Rens. He hopes that we will be careful of counterfeit and shoddy works..."

Xu Zhiwen squinted as he read the news. When he saw the news saying: "Zhongyuan Yidianhui frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: 'Does Professor Wang want to be famous, make money, and live with a flight attendant? Should he be allowed to do it? Can he handle it?'" even Xu Zhiwen, who is calm, couldn't help but chuckle.

This kind of question caught him off guard. He never expected Cao Sheng to ask the question from this angle.

Xu Zhiwen couldn't help but think about it - what would Professor Wang Gongjie's reaction be when he saw this news?
How will Professor Wang’s colleagues and students look at him when they see this news?

Will you have the face to see people in the future?
After Xu Zhiwen finished reading the news, Lao Wang, who was in charge of publicity, asked, "Mr. Xu, what do you think of this incident? Should we support Zhongyuan Yidianhui? Or should we just ignore it and try to prevent the media from reporting his words?"

Xu Zhiwen frowned and thought for a while, tapping the table unconsciously with his right middle finger. When he stopped tapping, he smiled and said, "Young people are still very powerful! Since he dares to fight against the older generation of writers and professors, what should we be afraid of? Anyway, no matter whether he wins or loses in the end, we will not suffer any losses. On the contrary, as long as this wave of verbal battle can be heated up, the popularity of "Living with the Air Hostess" will become greater, and there is no reason why sales will not increase. For us, this is the best publicity!"

At this point, Xu Zhiwen chuckled, stood up, patted Lao Wang on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Lao Wang! Come on! Make this fire burn brighter and brighter! It would be best if the whole country knew about this wave of verbal battle. Don't be afraid of making it bigger, just be afraid of not making it big. You can always fan the flames, right?"

Lao Wang laughed, "Boss Xu, if you say so, then just wait and see!"

……

Therefore, under Lao Wang's instigation, the number of domestic media reporting on this war of words suddenly increased several times.

That afternoon.

On BBS.

A group of netizens are discussing this matter.

Evil Child Liu Yidao: "Damn! I didn't expect Zhongyuan Yidianhui to be so cool! He actually dared to openly criticize famous writers and professors, and he took on four people alone! So brave! He has no idea what it means to respect the elderly and love the young. However, I like it! Haha, so cool!"

Taipei Yuedu: "Is Professor Wang trying to say: 'Being famous, making money, and living with a flight attendant are things that should be left to him?' This sentence made me laugh to death! I suddenly realized that Zhongyuan Yidianhui is not only a brilliant novelist, but also a brilliant swearer! I really want to see him swear more!"

Overlord has passed away: "I have never heard of Gongyang Buyu, Huang Shuren, Li Mubai, and Duke Wang, so I agree with Zhongyuan Yidianhui's words that we should not give people the title of 'famous writer' casually. We don't even know what those people have written, but they dare to call themselves famous writers!" Mo Fa Dyeing White Shirt: "If I were Professor Wang Gongye, I would want to die after seeing what Zhongyuan Yidianhui said."

Lu Wenming: "I totally agree with the above! Duke Wang is a professor. How can he face people in the future? If I were his student, every time I saw him, I would definitely think of this sentence: Professor Wang wants to be famous, make money, and live with a stewardess. Should I let him do it? Haha..."

……

It was still this afternoon.

A famous university.

Professor Wang Gongjie walked into the school as usual. He had a class this afternoon.

but……

Ever since he entered the campus, he found that students looked at him strangely from time to time, and occasionally he could see a few students pointing at him and whispering about something.

Faintly I could hear words like "stewardess", "living together", and "let him come".

Duke Wang thought that these students were discussing the news in which he criticized Zhongyuan Yidianhui, so he smiled and nodded gracefully to thank the students for their support.

I still feel a little proud.

I think my reputation is pretty good! So soon, students from my school saw the news that I criticized Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

It seems that I need to criticize more emerging writers in the future. Those media usually don’t want to promote me and my new book, but when they heard that I wanted to criticize Zhongyuan Yidianhui, they became very excited.

It seems that if you want to be in the news and increase your popularity, you have to do this.

Professor Wang, who felt that he had found a shortcut to fame, found that all his colleagues were looking at him when he walked into the office.

Everyone looks at me in a weird way.

One of the young female teachers who had come last year suddenly burst out laughing.

Then, everyone in the office burst into laughter, as if balloons were suddenly popped by needles.

"puff……"

"Pfft..."

"puff……"

……

Some people tried to hold back their laughter, but they just couldn't.

Professor Wang looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a lot of question marks in his mind.

When he asked again and again and finally figured out what happened, Cao Sheng's words, "Does Professor Wang want to be famous, make money, and live with a flight attendant? Should he come?", kept echoing in his mind like a curse.

Professor Wang's face suddenly turned pale and blue. Looking at his colleagues' strange looks and the way they pursed their lips and tried hard not to laugh, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and suddenly, he fell straight to the ground with a thud.

Before he fell into a coma, he had only one thought in his mind: This kid is so rude...
