Chapter 105 The winning lobster does not bow its head
“It’s really possible to let Wang Zixu participate in the second round directly.”
“How to do it?”
Chen Qingluo said: “You have read the essay carefully. Do you have any instructions? ”
Ning Chunyan went crazy: “Oh, don’t answer my question with a question! Just tell me the answer!”
Ning Chunyan was so worried that Chen Qingluo didn’t give in anymore:
"Xihe City Cultural Tourism and Nanjing University are the counterpart units for hand-in-hand friendly cultural exchanges. In this cultural conference, Nanjing University was also given several special invitation quotas to participate. Because it is a special invitation, it will not participate in the preliminary selection and will directly enter the second round."
Ning Chunyan's mind was half spinning. Only then did I understand what she was thinking: "What do you mean, let Wang Zixu's manuscript directly participate in the second round of selection as a specially invited manuscript by Nanda?"
"Hmm."
Ning Chunyan took a deep breath.
“Qingluo, I admit that your idea is very bold, but have you ever thought about it, Wang Zixu is not from Nanda!”
Chen Qingluo said plausibly: "But we are from Nanjing University, isn't this enough?"
"This is not enough?" Ning Chunyan looked at her like an idiot.
Chen Qingluo said: "Look at the regulations carefully. The rules do not say that the specially invited manuscripts of NTU must be written by NTU students."
"Really? But Wang Zixu is not a graduate of NTU. Students! ”
“The rules don’t say it must be written by a college graduate.”
“But he doesn’t even know which way the gate of Nanjing University opens!”
“What a coincidence, the rules don’t say that the author of the specially invited manuscript must know which way the NTU gate opens.”
Ning Chunyan took a deep breath and said: “I admit that your ideas are wild and unconstrained, but do you know what you are talking about? A person with no NTU background or experience, you bring his manuscript to NTU and say, ‘Hello, we think this manuscript is very good, please be sure to add it to the invited manuscripts, thank you! ’ Do you think they will agree to it? ”
Chen Qingluo said: "If you don't do this, then you can only go to the second-round essay review committee with whose manuscript, wave the manuscript and say to them, 'I am Ning Chunyan. I think this manuscript was wrongly judged. I want you to overturn the results of the last round of the Propaganda Department and add this manuscript directly to the second round.' Which one do you think has a higher success rate?"
Ning Chunyan bit his fingers.
Zhang Qian is indeed a bitch. She eliminated Wang Zixu’s manuscript for very ridiculous reasons. But that is also an established fact, and it is the review result endorsed by the authority.
No matter what her reason for killing Wang Zixu was, it was the result of a unanimous decision by the Propaganda Department and the Organizing Committee after review and review. Once formed, it cannot be changed. When the results are announced, it is not her personal opinion, but the result of the collective decision-making of the Propaganda Department.
The second round review organizing committee is also part of the Xihe civil service system. She cannot let others overturn the results of the previous round. That's not overturning Zhang Qian's ruling alone, it's going against Xihe's entire civil service system.
No matter how ridiculous Zhang Qian’s reason for rejecting the manuscript is, it still represents the opinion of the organizing committee. As long as there is no public pressure strong enough to force the entire civil service system in Xihe City to surrender, there is nothing they can do against her.
In the final analysis, the first round of review results cannot be changed, and it is impossible to expect the system to self-correct. If you want Wang Zixu's manuscript to win the resurrection competition, you must win from defeat and survive.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Qingluo’s method is probably the only solution.
Ning Chunyan calmed down and asked seriously: "Qingluo, are you sure it's not written in the rules? Doesn't it say in the rules, 'Manuscripts specially invited by NTU must have NTU education experience'?"
Chen Qingluo thought for a while, turned around and opened the web page on her computer, entered the official website of the Xihe Literary and Art Association, clicked to view the essay solicitation instructions for the Literary and Art Association, and after a moment, turned around and said: "I didn't write it."
"Isn't it written above that the person invited by NTU to submit a manuscript must have some kind of relationship with NTU, even if his mother sweeps the floor at NTU?"
"No. In fact, the rules are very simple. In a word, NTU representatives think that the quality of the manuscript is acceptable. NTU chooses the sender, not the publisher." Chen Qingluo said.
Ning Chunyan was speechless, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Chen Qingluo said sincerely: "This matter is not as difficult as you think. We all know the professor at Nanjing University who is responsible for soliciting manuscripts. We just persuaded him to add Wang Zixu's manuscript to the specially invited manuscript team, and it happened. Director Mei has already said that if Wang Zixu's manuscript enters the second round, he will turn a blind eye."
After Ning Chunyan was silent for a moment, he asked: "Who is the professor in charge of soliciting manuscripts at NTU?"
"Zhong Junmin."
“Why? It’s him! He’s the hardest to talk to!”
Chen Qingluo reached out and patted her shoulder: “It’s up to you. Didn’t you promise to let that manuscript enter the third round?”
“But Qingluo, this method is too outrageous. No matter if it works or not, the consequences will be serious!”
Let’s not talk about Zhong Junmin’s expression when he heard their request. If Professor Zhong really agreed in a daze, and then Wang Zixu successfully advanced to the third round, what would be the result?
When the time comes, students from NTU will gather around to watch the essay competition and admire the masterpieces of specially invited authors from our school. When they look at the author, Wang Zixu, who is it? I don’t know, which department are you from?
The answer is: It’s from Beili.
What expressions will they have at that time?
Or perhaps Wang Zixu’s wife and family members, when they learned that Wang Zixu was shortlisted for the third round of the essay competition, what would they think when they saw the “Nanda Specially Invited Manuscript” specially marked on his manuscript? When did your kid go to Nanda?
Thinking of this, Ning Chunyan shuddered. This scene was joyous, funny, absurd, and even exciting. She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
But at this moment, Chen Qingluo’s very bewitching voice sounded in her ears:
“Okay, if you don’t want to, then that’s fine. You, who is your friend after all, is not my friend. And how he was ridiculed and scolded in the street, and finally jumped from the 10th floor unbearably, is none of my business, anyway, I don't care."
Ning Chunyan gritted his teeth: "Then give it a try, it all depends on the person."
Chen Qingluo showed a teachable expression.
“You come with me.”
After Ning Chunyan finished speaking, Chen Qingluo showed a troubled expression again.
“I want to write a novel.”
“You can’t possibly let me go alone, right?” Ning Chunyan said, “Didn’t you say that you Do NTU alumni want to endorse Wang Zixu? ”
After a serious struggle in her heart, Chen Qingluo finally nodded with difficulty: “Okay”
Ning Chunyan was a little surprised that she agreed so easily: "Why are you so concerned about this matter? It's rare for you to be so active for someone you have nothing to do with!"
Chen Qingluo hesitated for a while and then said:
“Because I hate stinky bitches.”
“I can give this world to anyone, but I can’t give it to stinky bitches. "
Ning Chunyan said sincerely: "You are right. ”
…
Today’s lunch for Wenwen Club is braised lobster. The aunt they invited came from Qianjiang, a little-known small city in central China that is famous for two things: first, it is the hometown of Cao Yu, one of the "Lu Guo Mao Cao", and second, its crayfish is sold domestically.
Auntie is very proud of her skill in braised lobster. After everyone finished eating, they came to the table to check how many shrimps were left as a proof of her cooking skills.
The result of the inspection was that basically there was only soup, water and chili seasoning left in the large pot, and there was only one shrimp left.
This is the one that Wang Zixu has in front of him.
The armor is used for fighting, the whole body is bright, showing a mighty red color, and the two long pincers are held high, looking for power. It must have been a proud shrimp when it was alive, but its pride died when it became a dish.
Lobster’s two dark eyes stared at Wang Zixu, and he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Your current living condition is unhealthy."
Wang Zixu smiled lightly and shook his head. He felt that he must be crazy. He knew he was unhealthy, but no matter what, he must be healthier than the shrimp in front of him.
Lobster added: "Dejected and lack of aggression, the serotonin in your body is seriously insufficient, which will affect your happiness index."
It was Sartre before, and now it was Lobster. Wang Zixu felt that he was getting used to it, and asked: "Who are you?"
Lobster bowed to him at the table: "I am Jordan Lobster Peterson, your home-based Dr. Lobster."
Wang Zixu said : "Hello, Dr. Lobster, what's wrong with me?"
The lobster crawled closer to him on the table: "I am a researcher of lobster living habits. Did you know? Lobster's aggressive behavior is very interesting."
"Aggressive behavior?"
"Yes, the lobster group is similar to that of you humans. They all adopt a cruel winner-take-all unequal distribution system. Only the shrimp that wins the battle is eligible to be allocated the best territory."
Wang Zixu said: "We humans are not winner-take-all."
The lobster ticked the box Double Pliers: "Yes, it is like this on the surface, but in reality, everyone knows how it is, right? You are just letting the losers survive so that they can accept the fate of continued exploitation.
"For example, if you don't get outstanding, you still work diligently in the unit just to maintain your status and salary, and then you forget that you are actually wasting your efforts. I have to admit that humans are much smarter than lobsters in this regard, right? ”
Wang Zixu didn’t want to talk to a lobster about how human society operates: “Go on and talk about the aggressive behavior of lobsters.”
“Lobsters will fight for territory. After my research, I found that the winning lobster has The serotonin level of the losing lobster will soar sharply. On the contrary, the serotonin level of the losing lobster will drop sharply.
“The winning lobster will often show off its power, while the losing lobster will often be dejected, as if it has been severely hit, and will refuse to fight again within a few days. The shadow of failure makes their shrimp claws heavy.
"After losing their territory, the failed lobsters were downgraded from emperors to commoners overnight. The decrease in serotonin is to help them adjust their mentality and adapt to their status as losers."
Wang Zixu understood: "You are hinting at me."
The lobster smiled strangely. It did not have a "mouth", but Wang Zixu seemed to be able to see its smile:
"I am not talking about you, I just want to tell you, don't be like a loser. If you Being dejected, timid, and not daring to fight for your due share, you are giving yourself a ‘mark of weakness’ to other people of your kind.
“Other people of your kind will instinctively think that you are a failed lobster, and they will be more inclined to sacrifice your interests first in possible disputes. So you will be bullied more and more miserably. "
Wang Zixu said: "Then the failed lobster will be bullied more and more miserably? ”
Dr. Lobster scratched his head: "Well, I haven't studied this."
A hand appeared in front of Wang Zixu: "Do you still want to eat this lobster?"
Wang Zixu shook his head: "I won't eat it."
"Then I will eat it."
Wang Zixu watched Dr. Lobster disappear between Ye Lan's lips and teeth, and a thin voice came intermittently from her mouth:
"Don't... be like... a weak person."
"But why does Lobster retain this characteristic during the long process of evolution?" Wang Zixu said.
"Huh?" Ye Lan looked at him in confusion.
"It's nothing."
Ye Lan sat down next to him: "I heard about you from Ning Chunyan. Don't be too depressed."
Wang Zixu smiled calmly and said, "That lobster told me just now. Thank you. But, do I look really depressed?"
Ye Lan stared at him suspiciously, feeling that he was not normal. But since Wang Zixu has always been abnormal, she didn't feel that strange, and continued:
"You look fine, but, right, being fucked like this by your ex-girlfriend makes you feel angry just thinking about it."
Wang Zixu shook his head and leaned on the chair: "Can I say that when I heard Ning Chunyan said that the Propaganda Department was responsible for the first round, I had a pretty good guess?"
Ye Lan asked: "What do you mean?"
"I guessed at the time that it might be Zhang Qian who was behind the scenes. I didn't expect that she would still be like this after so many years."
Ye Lan lay down next to him and asked: "Has she been like this before?"
Wang Zixu said: "When I was in love with her, she once treated me like this I gave her the work I was very confident about and asked her to submit it for me, but there was no news. I thought it was because I was too poor, but now that I think about it, she may have done something wrong. ”
Ye Lan was aroused with anger: "Why is she like this? Isn't she sick? What good will it do to her?"
Wang Zixu shook his head: "She has that kind of character. If a road is full of cars, she will use her driving skills and try her best. Cut to another lane, and then block in another place, but she will feel satisfied that she is one parking space ahead."
Ye Lan took a breath: "In other words, she can't help you, and would rather hold you back?"
"Yes. But she didn't think she was holding me back. She thought it was good for me not to let me write, because she felt that writing didn't make money. But I didn't expect that she would still be like this after so many years of separation. To be honest, when I heard her say that she was thinking about my body, I could only stay silent whether I was moved or not."
Ye Lan said: "After all this, you can still still do it. Feng Qingyun, I really admire your self-cultivation."
"What's the use of not being Feng Qingyun? She is the leader of the Propaganda Department, and I am a small clerk. Commander, no matter how angry I am, can I imitate Song Jiang and stab Yan Poxi with a knife? "
"That's not necessary..."
"According to what I know about her," Wang Zixu said, "she must be dragging her boyfriend, or some leader from other units, to add fuel to the fire to criticize Ning Chunyan and bring her into trouble."
Ye Lan frowned: "She dares to provoke Ning Talent?"
"She doesn't dare to provoke Ning Chunyan, but behind her back. There's nothing you can do about her if you blow a little wind," Wang Zixu said, "It's not like I'm not angry. It's useless if I'm angry. I'm afraid that if I get angry, I'll make Ning Chunyan take the blame. I wish she would stop meddling in my business."
Ye Lan rubbed his forehead: "Are you going to write in the future?"
"Write, but I can't stay in Xihe anymore, I have to find a way to get out of here," Wang Zixu said, "The difference between humans and lobsters is that there is no place for the master here, but there is a place for the master."
Ye Lan opened his mouth slightly: "You don't want to join Wenwen Company?"
“Do it, and do it bigger,” said Wang Zixu, “Actually, I have another plan...”
