Chapter 239 Letter of Recommendation
Not to mention that Yukou is the vice president, even if he is the president, he does not dare to force his way in.
The news just came out last month. The little princess of Neon Royal wanted to invite Kenji Miyazawa to attend her birthday, but the latter refused.
Qiye responded, took the book, and watched the guest in front of him who was about to leave. Although she promised, she turned around and threw it into the library as usual.
"This is some Kitayama tea fruit, I bought it conveniently," Vice President Uguchi said, "With Ms. Nanaba here to solve family problems, Mr. Miyazawa can write with confidence and present us with Wonderful work.”
Yuguchi bowed, "Please accept it."
Qiye would directly refuse the gift or something, but she heard the word "Beishan Tea Fruit".
The taste of hometown... Nanaba hasn’t eaten it for a long time since she and Miyazawa-sensei moved to near Hachimantai.
Nanaye still reluctantly accepted it, she said, "Teacher Miyazawa is very busy every day, so I can't guarantee that the teacher will not read it."
Opportunities are reserved for those who can prepare. Yes, Uguchi said immediately, "Ms. Nanaba, please, this is enough."
It would be superfluous to say anything else. Yukou quickly left after thanking him.
The difference between the parallel world and the earth is that Kenji Miyazawa's works on the earth were not famous until his death.
After being incited by the butterfly, Miyazawa Kenji became a respected writer while he was still alive.
As mentioned before, writers who write ethics and fairy tales are at the top of the contempt chain.
For Vice President Yukou, today is a good day of luck. Not only was "The Prince of That Time" sent to the Miyazawa family, but the original author, who had always disagreed to attend the press conference, also agreed.
Looking at the three requests sent by the original author, President Yuguchi fully agreed.
[Dear Teacher Gu Lu, I will definitely arrange everything properly, and our Xiangchuan Society will do our best to guarantee your requirements! ]
Yukou thought about the wording many times and revised it seven or eight times before sending it out.
Even though the Neon writer has a high status, as the second-in-command of the publishing house, is Yukou’s performance too humble?
It happened for a reason, because science fiction short stories continued to be output in "SF Science Fiction", and the popularity of "Gu Lu" remained high.
For example, "Weekly Shonen Jump" conducted a poll on the popularity of the characters in "Kuroko's Basketball" in its April issue.
The results are first place: Kuroko Tetsuya, second place: Kise Ryota, third place: Gu Lu, fourth place: Kiyoshi Teppei.
The last voting was in 10 years, and the top four were Kuroko Tetsuya, Midorima Shintaro, Kagami Taiga, and Aomine Daiki.
Manga artist Tadoshi Fujimaki is considering whether to move Gu Lu from a side character into the main story.
Got it? Whether Gu Lu can appear at the launch event or not, there will definitely be a huge difference in the sales of the book.
For the sake of sales, it is normal for Yukou to be humble no matter how humble he is.
"President Qianfu is retiring soon." Yuguchi sighed, he must get the position of president.
As long as Miyazawa Kenji is willing to leave his recommendation on the book cover, then the work will definitely become an instant hit!
His thoughts went away with the roar of the engine. Hachimantai was a very secluded mountain range.
The local municipal government specially built a road leading directly to the small villa in order to retain Kenji Miyazawa.
Kenji Miyazawa's face is a very standard oval shape, coupled with his thick eyebrows, short hair, and dark skin, he doesn't look like a writer.
Wearing a black kimono, he looks more like a hot spring bather.
The reason why he has such a rough appearance is that he often goes to the fields and works with the local farmers.
Using the abundant royalties, Miyazawa Kenji taught English to farmers and told them stories.
As time goes by, the appearance of great writers becomes more like that of laborers.
"Teacher, a publisher has sent a fairy tale novel. He said it is a fairy tale for adults and the future of fairy tales." Nanaba relayed all what Yuguchi said.
"A fairy tale for adults?" Miyazawa Kenji became a little interested.
Because a good fairy tale must be suitable for all ages, just like his own masterpiece.
"The Prince of That Time, author Gu Lu, translator Eiko Kadono, foreign works." Kenji Miyazawa read it.
Some of the views in "The Little Prince" are the same as those of Miyazawa.
The little fox and the rose are both telling the little prince how to face reality. The classic saying in "Night on the Galaxy Railway" "You should not stay on the dream train. You must survive in the flames of reality and the huge waves." Move forward step by step."
As a result, Kenji Miyazawa became more and more serious, and his rough fingers turned the books more slowly.
The answer lies on the author's face. "The Little Prince" conquered Kenji Miyazawa.
“Take away the fairy tale mask, “The Prince of That Time” is a film about the process of adults resisting being domesticated.” Kenji Miyazawa not only had to write the recommendation, but also helped write the preface.
Gu Lu didn't know yet that a huge pie was coming quickly. He had just returned home from school and was cleaning up the house.
We also need to clean out the refrigerator. There is a lot of expired food in the refrigerator and we need to throw it away.
For example, the quick-frozen dumplings that were snapped up during supermarket discounts last year.
When I see something cheap, I want to buy more, but in fact I can’t finish it or I don’t like to eat it.
This is even more wasteful. Gu Lu made a key point in his mind to remember it carefully.
Soon after, a phone call came.
"Let me treat you, cousin... You finally returned to Wudu, and I will do my best to be a landlord." Gu Lu answered the phone and said.
"What kind of landlord's friendship? I am also from Wudu." Mu Xue said, "Besides, I am asking you for help, how can I treat you as a treat."
No response from Gu Lu Given the opportunity, Mu Xue left a message, "Okay, it's settled, Little Swan Hot Pot, see you tonight."
Realistically, Mu Xue's household registration was moved to the Magic City. According to her place of origin, she Not a foggy person.
Come again, people in Wudu eat hot pot, who chooses Little Swan! According to taste, she doesn't look like a person from the foggy city.
"Mingming, today I want to show you what authentic Fogdu hot pot is." Mu Xue hung up the phone and said to her best friend beside her.
“I can’t eat spicy food very well.” Zhao Mingming hesitated.
"It doesn't matter, I have lived in the Magic City for a long time, and I can't eat spicy food." Mu Xue said, "So we ordered slightly spicy and mandarin duck pot."
Out of the house, the two of them They opened a double room and took care of each other.
But Zhao Mingming found fault with the hotel both inside and out.
According to Zhao Mingming, services should be provided at any price. This one-thousand-two-room room is completely equipped with the services of an express hotel.
One is one, Zhao Mingming’s character is like this.
"When is the appointment time between you and your cousin?" Zhao Mingming asked.
“Six-thirty.” Mu Xue responded.
Taking out her mobile phone from her pocket, Zhao Mingming glanced at the screen and asked: "Are you high school students in Wudu so free? You don't study in the evening."
Yes, today is Thursday, and it's not a holiday. Where does her cousin have time to go out to eat at 6:30?
Zhao Mingming made a conjecture, "Isn't it true that your cousin's grades are particularly poor, so the teacher doesn't care?"
"Impossible!" Mu Xue denied, "I investigated. No. 8 Middle School is the best school in Wudu, and many students are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University every year.”
That’s right, since they can get into this school, they are not bad students at all.
Forget it, since the appointment was at six-thirty, now it’s five-thirty, it’s time to put on makeup.
"Mingming, don't make embarrassing jokes when we meet later. You are a young boy from a small place who has never seen much of the world. You will scare people."
Mu Xue asked, did she know that her best friend liked to joke a lot? As a side joke, when welcoming new students, they often make the freshmen blush.
"I know it well, don't worry." Zhao Mingming responded.
The two worked for a while, went out at six o'clock, and arrived at Little Swan Hotpot Restaurant a quarter of an hour later. Only then did Mu Xue realize a small problem. She didn't know her cousin and she should confirm his characteristics on the phone.
"Is this Cousin Mu Xue?"
When she was hesitating whether to call, a thick male voice came to her ears.
I turned around and saw a young boy dressed cheerfully. He is half a head taller than her, about 1.7 meters tall.
“Gu Lu?” Mu Xueyao said.
"Long time no see, cousin." Gu Lu is currently in the stage of voice change, and his voice is rough.
"The location of this store is very good, so if you don't make a reservation in advance, you will have to queue up during the meal." Gu Lu said, "Let's go in early."
The dinner time in Fogdu is much later than in other areas. , so after seven o'clock is the most congested time.
"Cousin, is this your classmate?" Gu Lu asked.
“Uh——” Mu Xue felt a little embarrassed.
"I am your cousin's good friend Zhao Mingming, just call me Sister Mingming." Zhao Mingming introduced herself.
"Sister Mingming, let's go upstairs." Gu Lu immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
"Be generous and confident, Xiaoxue, your cousin is very good."
The two followed Gu Lu's footsteps, Zhao Mingming whispered.
Faced with a relationship that only took eight people to maintain, Mu Xue was a little surprised that he acted calmer than her.
But she didn’t take it to heart. Mu Xue thought that her distant cousin was born a social terrorist.
Experience and knowledge will become confidence.
Junior high school and high school students spoke in front of the whole school and attended the Sijiu City Writers Association meeting where great people gathered.
In contrast, what’s not cool about meeting a cousin you don’t know?
"Cousin, Sister Mingming, what do you want to eat?" Gu Lu handed over the menu.
The two of them discussed ordering. Gu Lu finally got the menu and handed it to the waiter.
Because Gu Lu was so proactive, the waiter thought he was treating the guests, so if he had any questions, he would communicate with Gu Lu immediately.
While waiting for the food, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became very solid.
There is an embarrassing feeling of thin air on the plateau.
"How are my cousin and uncle?" Mu Xue really had nothing to say.
"Let's not talk about unhappy things." Gu Lu said, "Let's talk about the serious things about my cousin's trip, and what specific research will be done."
"Tell me a little bit so I can explain it to the principal." Gu Lu said.
The first half of the sentence made Mu Xue startled, but in the second half she started chatting and talked about her research plan.
"That's quite meaningful," Gu Lu said, "I'll try my best to help."
"Hahaha, thank you cousin." In fact, the other party can help make an appointment for us. It would be great if she had a chance to meet the principal.
Dad Mu is a businessman. He said that everyone and everything have a price, and all help in society has a price.
This lesson was still fresh in Mu Xue’s memory.
The dishes at the hot pot restaurant were served on time. Mu Xue and Zhao Mingming were very aggressive and challenged Wei Wei La immediately.
Then "Shui, shui, shui!" "Is this slightly spicy? It's dangerous!"
Both of them almost burst into tears.
After the meal, the relationship between the three of them became much closer.
It's actually okay to eat spicy food in Wudu. The main thing about hot pot is not spicy...it's numbing.
Zhao Mingming and Mu Xue felt that their lips were swollen, and the feeling was no different from being poisoned.
Back at the hotel, the two of them chatted less...
The next day, Gu Lu, who had something to see the principal, was called to the principal's office by Director Hu in the morning.
"Gu Lu, you have written "Mr. Holmes", so you should have some knowledge of the school system in Europe and the United States, right?"
Principal Chang asked, while Director Hu sat aside.
“After checking the information, I have a certain understanding.” Gu Lu responded.
“Our high school has complete independent rights to recruit students with special talents.” Principal Chang said.
Then, Gu Lu held his breath, feeling that the next thing must be crucial.
Principal Chang continued, "Gu Lu has achieved great success in literature, and his research on literature must be insightful."
"So if Gu Lu knows students who also have literary potential, he can recommend them to the school." Principal Chang said.
Director Hu from the side answered, "Our No. 8 Middle School pays attention to many aspects of students' culture, sports and art. If it is a student recommended by Xiao Gu, we will definitely consider it seriously."
Gu Lu thought about what the two said in tandem and finally understood it.
“Like the recommendation letter system in Europe and the United States?” Gu Lu said.
"Absolutely." Principal Chang said.
Director Hu added, "Our No. 8 Middle School's score line is quite high, but for students with special talents, it can be relaxed appropriately."
After figuring it out, it is not as exaggerated as the recommendation letter system in Europe and the United States. For example, the score line of No. 8 Middle School this year is 685. points, test 650 points.
If Gu Lu recommends it, it can be done.
But if you can't even get a score of 600, then just go to sleep.
This reward can only be obtained by allowing independent enrollment in high schools. In a few years, independent enrollment will be abolished on a large scale.
Regarding the current status of No. 8 Middle School in the foggy city, believe it or not, if you shout out, 1 point 10,000, there will be a lot of people rushing to buy it.
Of course Gu Lu is not short of money at the moment, so he can't do this. It's just a metaphor.
If the equivalent amount is exchanged, two to three hundred thousand soft sister coins will be directly given.
Can I recommend Gu Jiayu? Gu Lu thought about it and decided to tell the heroine the good news after school today.
It can also make the heroine less nervous.
In addition to "letters of recommendation", Principal Chang also mentioned another reward for publishing works in "People's Literature": a reward of 10,000 yuan.
It’s not much, but it’s far higher than the reward specifications for the eighth middle school.
The principal’s rewards are also finished.
It's time to talk about Gu Lu, "Principal Chang, I have something to ask the school for help."
"What is it? As long as it is possible in principle, our school will always I will support you," Principal Chang said.
Gu Lu told about Mu Xue.
Principal Chang was silent for a long time before responding, "If you hadn't proposed it, Gu Lu, then our school would have rejected this investigation anyway."
"Because it was also an investigation last year, and then It caused a very bad reaction. You can find out the details by searching on the Internet, Xiao Gu." Director Hu proved that what the principal said was true.
