Chapter 107: Correcting Love Letters
"Fire now?" Chen Fan was surprised.

It seems that this book is not good and can be directly rejected, and there is even no need to continue this seminar.

On the premise of respecting history and truth...

This statement is clear, which means that Chen Fan does not respect history and truth. Once this label is attached, the book "Awakening Age" will have no chance of passing the review.

This is to smash the plates!
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had remembered this person.

"Hello, comrade!"

Chen Fan knew this man's name; it was written on the card on the table, but he pretended not to know.

"The Records of the Three Kingdoms records Zhuge Liang as being eight feet tall and having a very majestic appearance. In today's terms, Zhuge Liang was a tall and handsome man. Is that not disrespectful to history?"

"Let's talk about Lu Bu. In modern language, we can write, Lu Bu is comparable to a sharpshooter, and his archery skills are better than those of the Olympic archery champion."

"Different times have different ways of expressing themselves."

"The Awakening Age is a novel, a popular reading material, not a history book. Appropriate artistic processing will only make Mr. Lu Xun's image and deeds more vivid."

"Don't you think your books have any artistic processing? By the way, what books have you written? I'll go check them out later to see if they have any artistic processing."

Chen Fan's words made the writer surnamed Jia blush.

Am I that unknown?
You can’t even pronounce its name, the cards on the table have such big letters.

My book?
What do you mean by "What books have you written?" So my books are not well-known.

For a writer, there is nothing more infuriating than this.

However, Chen Fan did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "There is no artistic processing. That is a history book, and what I wrote is a novel."

"As for your claim of disrespecting history and truth, I cannot agree with you. I just used modern description methods based on history and truth, that's all."

"As for history and truth, comrade, you may not be familiar with modern history. I think Professor Zhang and Professor Yang have more say in this regard."

The writer surnamed Jia’s face turned even darker.

This guy is really mean. He has labeled me as someone who “doesn’t understand history”.

I'm a cultured person, and you call me a history illiterate. You're so venomous. No wonder you always curse people in the newspapers. You're just a hooligan.

The participants all smiled happily.

They all knew Chen Fan's nickname, a rogue intellectual. They had also read Chen Fan's editorials and knew that he was a poisonous tongue.

I just didn't expect that he could be so mean to people on the spot, and he is also a master at being sarcastic.

Wang Jing secretly gave a thumbs up. This is what should be done now. Just fight back hard. Don’t be afraid of offending others.

We need to be polite and respectful to those who come to discuss, but there is no need to be polite to those who come to disrupt the discussion. If they don't even have this courage, there is no need to continue this seminar.

"Comrade Chen Fan's book has a good degree of historical restoration. Although there are some artistic elements in the details, the overall direction is correct."

Professor Zhang Zhuhong tapped the table lightly. He personally liked the book "Awakening Age".

What's more, Chen Fan is a student of Peking University and cannot be bullied by outsiders.

Professor Yang Liwen also took the same stance: "I agree with Lao Zhang's point of view. There are problems with the details, but they are all within the scope of discussion and modification. Let's continue the discussion."

With the support of two professors, the rest of the process went much more smoothly.

But it is only relative. He did not directly deny the work like the writer named Jia, but he could not help but find fault with the details.

The discussion about the characters was particularly intense.

This is the core content of the seminar. No one dares to make a conclusion about the "gentlemen" easily, and we need to be extremely cautious.

At noon, we had lunch in the conference room and then continued the discussion. Several editors from the publishing house were busy recording the discussion.

The first seminar ended at around five o'clock. After a whole day of talking, Chen Fan's voice was hoarse when he returned home.

"How's it going? Did it go well?"

Xu Jinqiu boiled some hot water and made a pot of strong tea for Chen Fan. Chen Fan drank a few cups before saying, "Today is just a discussion. There won't be any results. You don't know that at the meeting today, a group of people were looking for trouble. They almost exhausted me to death."

"Looking for trouble? Isn't this a seminar?"

"Girl, you have to understand one thing: it is a common phenomenon among scholars to look down on each other. There are many who dislike each other."

Chen Fan mentioned the story of the writer named Jia and sneered, "That old bastard is so sinister. He wanted to completely deny my book right away, and I fought back."

Xu Jinqiu nodded and said, "That's the way it should be. Later, you can find a copy of his book and criticize it, and send it to him in the newspapers."

Chen Fan was stunned. This girl... is really the type to follow her husband wherever he goes.

"We won't do that. You can scold him in private, but scolding him in the media is flattering him and will increase his fame. Maybe he can even earn more royalties from the number of copies he has published."

"Just like you said before, black and red is also red?" Xu Jinqiu was stunned.

"That's the truth. I'm not bragging. I've been very popular recently. If I say his book is bad, there will definitely be a group of people who want to read it and see how bad it is."

There are countless books, movies, stars, and internet celebrities who became famous because of criticism.

If Chen Fan remembered correctly, the writer named Jia was later criticized by major media outlets because of one of his works. The work was even banned, but he became really famous.

In later generations, there is a Rotten Tomatoes website in the United States, which selects the top ten worst movies every year.

Logically speaking, if they are all bad movies, no one will watch them. The magical thing is that the selected films will always usher in a box office boom in a short period of time.

Or videotapes and paid viewing channels will usher in a wave of sales.

In the end, some pretty good films also found ways to make it onto the list of the top ten worst films.

Many people have this kind of mentality: you say this thing is smelly, but I don’t believe it. I have to taste it to see if it really stinks and how smelly it can be.

It’s actually quite good. Seeking truth will at least prevent you from being easily fooled or led astray by others.

What if this thing doesn’t stink?

After talking about the seminar for a while, Chen Fan changed the subject: "My roommate Qiu, shall I go to your school for classes tomorrow?"

Xu Jinqiu kissed him on the lips. It would be best if Chen Fan went there. After a few days of classes, some flies were already getting restless, and he had already started receiving love letters in the past two days.

It’s just right to take Chen Fan to chase away flies.

This is what she felt was extremely unfair. They were both college students, but why did Peking University only have five days of classes a week while Beijing Normal University had to go to class six days a week?

The next morning, Xu Jinqiu was drowsy again and was woken up by Chen Fan. She rolled her eyes at Chen Fan resentfully and muttered, "Go home in the evening. My sister is going to have a day off."

Chen Fan burst out laughing.

I don't know what has stimulated this girl recently. She turns into a fairy at night and wants to tease me no matter what. She is really naive and loves to play.

After having breakfast, Chen Fan followed Xu Jinqiu to Beijing Normal University.

Xu Jinqiu applied for the education major. There were more than 15 students in the class, but the number of girls was relatively small, only .

Chen Fan took a rough look and it must be said that there are quite a lot of beautiful girls in Beijing Normal University. There are quite a few girls in this class who can be called pretty.

"Student Xu Jinqiu, this is for you."

"Student Xu Jinqiu, someone asked me to pass this on."

……

Xu Jinqiu took Chen Fan to an inconspicuous place. Not long after they sat down, classmates came over with more than a dozen love letters, either delivered by themselves or for others.

Whenever someone sends a love letter, Chen Fan will enthusiastically help to receive it: "Wife, you are amazing. It's only been a few days since school started."

Xu Jinqiu nodded: "Of course!"

"And he's still showing off."

Chen Fan placed all the love letters on the table. There were many different designs, some folded into triangles, some folded into hearts, and some folded into the shape of little rabbits. "Excuse me, classmate Qiu'er, can I take a look?"

Xu Jinqiu Hehe, I said no, how can you not look at it? But she didn't look at these things anyway, and threw them directly into the trash can.

"This is too cryptic and confusing. I can't understand it. Bad review!"

"This is unrestrained enough, but the language is too crude and lacks any depth. Bad review!"

"And this, what kind of shit is this? It can't even praise people. What kind of words are used? It's so dry and lacks any literary accomplishment."

……

Listening to Chen Fan muttering in her ear, Xu Jinqiu couldn't help but laugh. This guy is really mean. Those who wrote love letters would be furious if they heard it.

It was not until the teacher came in that Xu Jinqiu touched Chen Fan and asked him to shut up.

Chen Fan looked at the teacher on the stage, hummed, and did not comment. He took out a pen from his bag, thought for a moment, and started writing on the love letter.

Well, revise it!
How could my wife be interested in such a crude love letter?

Chen Fan was busy and having a lot of fun. It must be said that correcting love letters was quite interesting. It made him feel like he was a teacher correcting homework in his previous life.

A class goes by quickly!
Chen Fan didn't even notice that a female teacher came to teach in the second class.

Maybe the female teacher was more attentive. Seeing that Chen Fan didn't even raise his head and just kept writing, she couldn't help but tap the table lightly: "Student, please stand up."

"The teacher is calling you!"

Xu Jinqiu touched Chen Fan and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking like he was just watching the fun.

Chen Fan was also embarrassed. I just came to attend a class. Was it necessary for me to be targeted?
But he still stood up.

The female teacher came over and stood next to Chen Fan: "Student, what is your name?"

Chen Fan smiled awkwardly: "Chen Fan!"

"Chen Fan, I remember this name was not there when we called the roll?" The female teacher frowned.

"Hello, teacher. I'm from another school. I came here because I heard about your reputation. I came here today specifically to feel the atmosphere of Beijing Normal University." Chen Fan explained.

The female teacher was stunned for a moment: "From another school? You want to feel the atmosphere of Beijing Normal University? You should be going to visit the campus, why are you in the classroom? Are you here to chase girls?"

As he said this, he looked at Xu Jinqiu.

Chen Fan coughed lightly and explained, "Teacher, I'm not chasing her, I'm accompanying her. Xu Jinqiu is my fiancée, and we had a proper engagement banquet."

As soon as he finished speaking, wailing sounds were heard in the classroom.

The class beauty was picked away!
Several of the boys looked at Chen Fan with eyes that were like laser rays.

The female teacher was also stunned for a moment, then joked: "Since you are here, just listen to a class. You are so busy writing that I thought my lectures were boring."

Then, he added: "You can't undermine the teacher's self-confidence."

"This teacher is quite nice, with an open and tolerant attitude."

Chen Fan secretly praised him, but he joked: "Teacher, this really can't be blamed on me. It's mainly because Xu Jinqiu received too many love letters, and they were all poorly written. I was thinking about correcting them and letting Xu Jinqiu take a look at them to avoid polluting his eyes."

The female teacher can’t do it anymore.

This kid doesn't speak in the usual way. Except for the first question, which asked his name, the answers to all the questions were unexpected.

This is really weird!

What you did was also weird. Someone sent a love letter to your fiancée, but you didn't get angry. Instead, you took it out and corrected it. Did you think you were a teacher, correcting homework?

But this is also quite interesting.

The female teacher was really interested, so she asked, "Can I take a look?"

Several boys in the class who had sent love letters to Xu Jinqiu all cast murderous glances at him, but Chen Fan didn't care and handed the love letter over directly: "Teacher, please take a look."

The female teacher took it, took a look at it, and burst out laughing. The more she read, the more she couldn't help laughing, and she almost laughed to tears.

"Teacher, it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Read it aloud. We also want to listen. Let us all learn how to write a love letter."

The person who spoke was Xu Jinqiu's roommate.
