Chapter 306 Who takes the blame?
“We need to hire professionals, students with this ability——” Zhou Lin said.
The words behind Xiao Lingdang made Ding Xixi feel nervous again, and he gave up after a long time.
“It’s so difficult to hire people here.” Ding Xixi said.
“It is very difficult to organize a large event with hundreds of people in an orderly manner.” Zhou Lin said, “That’s why we have to look carefully.”
"..." Ding Xixi understood, Xiao Lingdang had made her decision. She will definitely do whatever she decides to do, and there is nothing anyone else can do to persuade her.
"What are you looking at me for? I don't have the ability. I can't even organize a few people in our dormitory to go out for a meal." Ding Xixi said quickly when she saw the other party looking at her.
"Of course I know you can't do it, what's our relationship? I don't know what kind of little waste you are?" Zhou Lin said, "I just thought of a junior high school classmate who is very organized. In junior high school, We can organize activities for more than 40 people in the class.”
The two are really good sisters, and they help each other. But Ding Xixi was attracted by her words. Can the junior high school organize more than 40 people?
"Then please come." Ding Xixi said.
"No," Zhou Lin shook her head, "This is not a matter of honor."
You also know that it is not appropriate to hold a school anniversary by yourself. It’s just that you have concerns about inviting the person you’re talking about, but you don’t have concerns about inviting others? Sister, are you having a double standard? However, Ding Xixi still didn't express her inner reaction.
"Okay, there must be a way for the ship to reach the bridge. Take action first, and we will talk about the specific situation when it happens." Zhou Lin said and was about to leave.
Ding Xixi looked at her, why would she go to the South District teaching building instead of eating?
Don’t do anything. Now that you have done it, you need to make it bigger, so try to find as many clubs as possible. She made an appointment with the president of Time Radio. The other party is a senior in high school, so naturally he is in the South District teaching building.
The current president of Time Radio is Zhang Liwan, the same person as Gu Lu whom we interviewed earlier.
"Zhou Lin, I have listened to your plan," Zhang Liwan asked, "Have you ever thought about carrying out such a big event behind the school's back? Even if you are a student in the Qingbei class, the consequences afterwards will be huge. It's very serious."
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Lin said, "It makes me very nervous. I have considered the consequences. I guess I will not be able to win the honorary selection of some outstanding students in the future."< br>
Expulsion is impossible. After all, this matter did not violate school rules. All I can say is that "my personal desire for expression is too strong." Moreover, Zhou Lin was also last year's freshman representative, which is more important than the average Qingbei class student.
“You know the consequences are so serious, why do you still do this?” Zhang Liwan originally thought that the other party was reckless without considering the consequences, and never expected to know better than anyone else.
"Because I only have one high school experience." Zhou Lin said, "There is only one high school experience for all of us. I don't want to miss out on what belongs to me because of others."
"So I use such an extreme method. How to fight for it?" Zhang Liwan said.
"Is it extreme?" Zhou Lin was a little embarrassed, "I originally failed to negotiate with the principal, and I thought about going to the education department to file a complaint. After thinking about it, if I don't file a complaint in time, the school anniversary will still be easy to be criticized. It was cancelled, so I took it easy.”
“President Zhang, please bring the club to play on Saturday, it’s going to be fun.” Zhou Lin clasped her hands together with an expression of excitement.
Being good-looking has its benefits. Zhang Liwan originally didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water, but looking at the pitiful person on the other side, she agreed by mistake.
"I love you, President Zhang, you are the greatest student reporter in high school." Zhou Lin cheered instantly as if she was changing her face in a Sichuan opera. Then he took out a brochure and placed it in front of Zhang Liwan.
Zhou Lin said, "This is the general activity process for our student celebration. In addition, President Zhang, this is my email number. Fill in the members of Time Radio who will be present, and then send it directly to my email address. Thank you."
Zhou Lin ran away without giving the other party time to react.
The idea of sending another email came to my mind just ten minutes ago when I discussed with Ding Xixi that it was difficult to organize. Since it is difficult to find people to organize, let the president of each club restrain the members present. Putting aside the club members, the students who are having fun will find a way.
“Damn it, have I fallen into a beauty trap?” Zhang Liwan never imagined that one day she would fall into a beauty trap.
"But why do girls like this exist! She's beautiful and has character."
She actually negotiated with the principal and even thought about going to the Education Bureau to file a complaint. It's really awesome.
Zhang Liwan has been taught by her parents since she was a child: "You must not conflict with others", "You must forgive someone if you are bullied and apologize", "Girls should be quiet and not run around like boys" and so on. Regardless of Zhang Liwan's outgoing personality, in fact, if she hadn't experienced a major change, it would be difficult for her personal courage to support her "deviant".
Of course, boys will also be indoctrinated with statements such as "boys should not cry" and "boys should be strong". It's just that Zhou Lin's character is unique even though Zhang Liwan has interviewed many students.
In the following days, Zhou Lin showed absolute initiative. She had convinced 14 of the twenty-three clubs in the school.
In addition to studying, Zhou Lin spent all her time on this and was very busy.
In the same night sky, not only Zhou Lin but also Gu Lu were busy.
Gu Lu replied to every editor who urged them to write, and they needed to build a good relationship. After all, Gu Lu's school magazine "Youth" also invited editors to share their experiences.
Reply one by one.
Editor of Science Fiction World... Gu Lu's bookshelf on Earth has a lot of amazing science fiction short stories. Therefore, "Science Fiction World" magazine is the most likely to cooperate again.
In addition, there was also the matter of cultural exchange experience sharing. Gu Lu asked, "Professor Chen, is there anything else that needs to be modified in my experience sharing?"
After working for more than two hours, Gu Lu finally reached out. Lazy up.
"I have entered a new house. I must buy a gaming chair. I am so tired." Gu Lu was about to take a rest.
When he opened the Penguin Space, he saw a message.
Bazhong Wall: [Classmates, classmates. This Saturday (October 14th) at two o'clock in the afternoon, come to school to participate in club activities! Currently there are dances by the dance club, fighting games by the table tennis club, performances by the Shuren Literature Club, food by the Little Master Food Club, and many more.
In addition, this event is organized by Model United Nations President Zhou Lin! ]
Montpellier is No. 1 in the world: Didn’t it say there would be no school celebration this year? (Doubt.jpg)
Bazhongqiang’s reply: The school will not hold the event due to some problems. This was organized personally by Zhou Lin, a sophomore in high school. Although there is no awards ceremony for the school anniversary, there is no difference in other aspects. If you have nothing to do on Saturday and don't have any extra lessons, you are welcome to attend.
Ming Haoran: I am a freshman who just entered the school this year, so why do the seniors from No. 8 Middle School have such a big deal with the seniors? School is canceled, do it yourself? (Shocked face.jpg)
Ren Hengbangzhi: I am a sophomore in high school... I have never seen this battle before.
Asteria: No senior in high school has ever seen this scene. Holding a school anniversary by yourself sounds very exciting.
【Expand more】
“?” Gu Lu did not click to expand.
Why is Zhou Lin planning such a big deal after not seeing each other for a few days?
In the end, it was specifically stated who organized it. On the one hand, it had a motive, and on the other hand, it was based on Gu Lu's understanding of the strange girl. To put it this way, you are taking the blame for this time.
"Is this a real high school student?" It's different from Gu Lu's return to the pot, and it's more exciting. That's not right. Apart from Zhou Lin, Gu Lu had never seen such a courageous high school student.
“It’s tragic, Zhou Lin is going to take the blame.”
Inspired by Zhou Lin’s actions, I really felt like an old man going crazy. Soon Gu Lu calmed down again.
Gu Lu put down everything he was doing and started writing. It took about two hours to write more than 3,000 words. Gu Lu also proofread it after finishing it. Correction of typos and certain words.
“Hello, editor-in-chief, I am Gu Lu. I have cooperated with your magazine before.”
Find the phone number of Deputy Editor Qu of "Youth Digest" and call him. We had previously collaborated on "Moonstone" and "Yesterday's Park".
Things are simple, Gu Lu wants Wen Zhang to join the queue. The short article I just wrote will be published in the second half of October.
According to Lu Lu's current reputation, even if the article is written like a piece of shit, it will still be published.
Just jumping in line is a bit awkward - friends who have worked in a publishing house know that the content of an issue is chosen early. Then typesetting, printing and other matters are carried out.
"I know Mr. Xiao Gu that you are very anxious, and I basically agree with this matter. I still need to discuss with the leader about the specific matter of publishing first." Deputy Editor Qu said, "But it's basically no problem. Xiao Gu Teacher, just wait for my good news.”
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Qu." Gu Lu thanked him.
"No need to thank you. Teacher Xiao Gu's articles are also very popular now." Deputy Editor Qu said, "If Teacher Xiao Gu has any good articles in the future, they are not suitable for submission to "People's Literature". Our Youth Digest is also a good choice.”
“Definitely,” Gu Lu solemnly agreed.
Deputy Editor Qu hung up the phone and was about to call the Editor-in-Chief. But then I saw that it was already three minutes past six.
It’s time to get off work.
He is the double-standard dog who believes that "only incompetent people work overtime and take work back to holidays." Adhering to the principle of never working after get off work, and having a sense of ritual when going to work.
How about we talk tomorrow? Deputy Editor Qu thought. The coffee in the cup and the macarons in the dish are gone. How does this work? no way!
Just as deputy editor Qu was about to pack his things and go home, he remembered the anxious tone of the writer on the phone.
"Working overtime for "Young China Story"," Deputy Editor Qu felt that he was too conscientious. Found the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief didn't get off work so quickly, so he must still be there. Explain this clearly in a few words.
As deputy editor Qu thought, the editor agreed to the matter after a moment of reflection.
"Send me Teacher Xiao Gu's article." The editor said, "I'll see what the article is."
Speaking of which, Deputy Editor Qu didn't even have time to read it.
Click on the email sent by Gu Lu, deputy editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief Qu, look at me and I look at you. It turns out that Gu Lu also writes this kind of article!
And Gu Lu didn’t stop even after hanging up the phone editor. Continue to call the two newspapers, "Young Pioneer News" and "Fog City Daily".
"Okay, okay, that's troublesome."
"Please, thank you very much."
Done.
According to the plan in his heart, Gu Lu's eyebrows were not straightened, but still wrinkled.
These two newspapers are only influential in the southwest. Gu Lu wondered whether their influence would be a little small.
Ever since, Gu Lu called and found President Wang. I’d like to ask President Wang something.
"A Bouquet for Algernon" single-handedly supported the New Youth Publishing House, and it is even more straightforward to say that Gu Lu is the treasure of the entire publishing house. Therefore, small requests are easily granted.
It’s not too small. For ordinary people, even Principal Chang of No. 8 Middle School, it is extremely difficult to achieve. But for President Wang, it’s just a phone call away. Don’t forget the background of New Youth Publishing House, I won’t go into details.
Now, it’s 100% no problem.
"Since there is no problem, then I also want to play." Gu Lu had an idea and remembered that the two neon people in front were coming to China to play.
Send an email to Yuuto Fusuda.
This neon man is relatively unfamiliar. After all, Gu Lu has only seen him once. When I went to Neon to hold a book signing for "The Prince of That Time", Futian was a cartoonist and liked the book very much, so he came specifically to visit Gu Lu.
The person recommended in the middle is the cartoonist of "Kuroko's Basketball" Fujimaki Tadoshi.
Invite a few foreigners...
Foreign countries, speaking of foreign countries, let’s talk about Britain.
The English version of "The Little Prince" is on sale, and Puffin Books has invested an appropriate amount of resources.
What is the right amount? The new book display booth placed in Waterstone Bookstore did not deliberately promote it.
Waterstones is the largest bookstore chain in the UK, so the breadth of its coverage is quite good.
“What kind of book is this?”
“A fairy tale book written by a Chinese writer.”
"Let's go, what's the point of Chinese fairy tale books."
"I think so too, it's quite boring. But I heard that this writer is a genius in China. He seems to have sold more than three million copies at the age of sixteen. "
"Oh God, are you kidding?"
The population of the entire UK was only over 63 million in 2012. As for the data for 2013, it is still I haven’t passed it, so I haven’t come out yet.
Sold one-twentieth of a British currency at the age of sixteen, which sounds terrible.
Yes, the sales of "The Little Prince" in the UK depended on Gu Lu's reputation as a genius.
Europe and the United States can be said to be more pursuing geniuses, especially in the field of art. Think about the popularity of Mozart, the musical prodigy.
After Puffin Books realized this, the promotion strategy was changed from "Fairy tale works from China, popular in China, popular in neon!"
To "China's most talented writer, At the age of sixteen, he wrote many best-selling books, with cumulative sales of more than three million copies. Look at the fairy tales of genius! "
The marketing focus is different, and the effect is really different.
On the first day, 1,475 copies were sold. On the second day after changing the promotion strategy, sales reached 8,152 copies, an increase of more than five times.
The key is unlimited potential! The current China is far less influential than it will be ten years from now, especially in Europe and the United States. Because of the propaganda of foreign media, ordinary British people have a really bad impression of China. There are even some forums in the UK that say that China is not good is politically correct.
Do you know the famous Ten Commandments of Reasoning? Article 5: No Chinese people should appear in the story.
Don’t worry about this, don’t say that the appearance of Chinese people represents witchcraft. The author, Leonard Knox, is a British editor and writer. His original words: "I don't see any point in letting the appearance of a Chinese person ruin a mystery novel. If you are browsing a book in a bookstore and don't hear it, The book I was talking about suddenly saw the mention of Chinamen with narrow and small eyes, so I put the book down; it must be terrible.”
It’s just Chiguoguo’s discrimination.
"It seems that Puffin Books really doesn't take this book seriously." Yao Xiaoju was always paying attention, he thought to himself.
Because the author was a genius writer to promote this idea, Yao Xiaoju told Puffin Books from the beginning, but the other party didn't pay attention.
Fortunately the result is very good.
"I read that right! Brother Gu is very capable at sea, and he has lived up to my name as Brother Gu." Yao Xiaoju booked a flight to London for the same day. Because in the UK, "The Little Prince" is about to take off.
But if a Chinese author is very popular in the UK, he will definitely suffer considerable attacks. Yao Xiaoju must go over and take precautions in the bud. This is an editor with experience in overseas publishing. Before a problem occurs, he is preparing preventive measures.
"Come on, I have worked in the UK and Europe for so many years, let's see where my abilities lie." Yao Xiaoju said with great ambition.
Overseas war is about to begin!
The party’s news updates were not that timely. He only knew that he had sold less than 10,000 copies in two days.
Gu Lu stopped paying attention, because what he originally thought was that fairy tale works take time to accumulate, and it would be okay if sales were low for a while.
The next day, Gu Lu found Zhou Lin.
"Our publication club also wants to participate." Gu Lu approached Zhou Lin.
“Welcome, it must be a warm welcome.” Zhou Lin asked, “What activities did the publication club originally prepare for the school anniversary?”
Following this Zhou Lin asked what activities the publication club originally prepared for the school anniversary. What. Gu Lu also answered honestly, and the next step was the same, which was to fill out the form.
After talking about the registration, Gu Lu suddenly asked, "Are there any difficulties in the overall aspect? Is there anything I can help with?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lin hesitated a little.
"What? Are we still polite to each other?" Gu Lu said.
"Being polite is certainly not my style." Zhou Lin said, "I just can't count the students who come to play. I can't think of a way to solve this problem at the moment."
"The students who came to participate in the activity... ..." Gu Lu said, "Leave this to me."
"What can I do?" Zhou Lin's eyes widened.
These eyes are really too big, isn’t Director Hu jealous to death?
"Keep it secret, you will know when the time comes." Gu Lu said.
Now that she said this, Zhou Lin believed Gu Lu’s words without hesitation. The thing that bothered Zhou Lin the most was solved, and she was happier.
To be honest, Zhou Lin's plan was not very close, at least the confidentiality work was not done at all. Therefore, with the four-day countdown, many teachers have heard about it from their students.
What’s interesting is that the teachers didn’t report it.
Because, Gu Lu asked Lu Yi to send a message on the eighth wall.
Eight Middle School Wall: [The first student celebration begins! For our students’ own celebrations, students who want to come and play please come to me to sign up, or you can ask your parents to sign up. Note: If you don’t register, it will be difficult to get in and out of the school! ——Student Celebration Organizing Committee Member: Gu Lu]
That’s right, because the teachers knew that Gu Lu, the pride of No. 8 Middle School, was involved, so they turned a blind eye.
Yes, the situation in the school is about to break out!
