Chapter 250 Two Invitation Letters
This is really a blind box opening.
Li Yan felt nervous for the first time in a long time. Getting the envelope meant that he had at least won a prize, but the key was the prize.
No matter how confident he is in his abilities, Li Yan still has no confidence in the results of the subjective evaluation.
Although you can comfort yourself by saying, "If I can't get first-class at my level, I'll be the loser of you judges," but when I say it, I can't help but feel a bit like losing. The literary and art world requires strength and luck.
No matter how good your writing is, if you happen to meet a group of judges who don't like it, it's all in vain.
Unexpectedly, while I was still thinking, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Li Yan glanced at the time blankly, and it was already half past five in the afternoon.
Concentrating on writing a reply to Su Siqing, I didn't expect that the afternoon would pass in a blink of an eye. The time was really scary.
"What will Lao Yan eat today?" Lin Heng now took over Zhu Qinglun's task of firing.
"I just had a simple dumpling for lunch."
"It's rare that you actually..." Halfway through, everyone noticed the envelopes spread out on Li Yan's table.
"It turns out that Mr. Yan has something to do." Zhu Qinglun put away his schoolbag, pulled up a chair and sat next to Li Yan, occupying the chief position.
"Just in time, since everyone is here, let's open the blind box with me."
Even the online novels are known to them, so there is nothing to hide in the essay competition to win prizes. Now, the key point is that various pen names that were once relatively radical have been buried, and what should be accumulated has been accumulated. Various articles published in the literary direction, including online novels, support each other, proving Li Yan's own strong strength.
Now that the risk is gone, it’s time to show off.
Everyone was suddenly handed an envelope by Li Yan, including Li Yan himself, exactly six.
“What the hell?” Zhu Qinglun’s eyes widened as he said this, “Damn it, is there an invitation to the competition, Mr. Yan?”
“If it’s an invitation, it may have to be postponed next time.”
“Certificate?” Lin Heng asked.
"Yes, I should have won the prize, but I don't know what the prize will be. We decided on the order and opened it one by one, just like opening the blind box."
"Okay!" Chen Fan was quite happy. , "I never thought in my life that I could tear down the award certificate of the essay contest."
"It's not yours." Zhu Qinglun made a face.
“Think about it, I was the first to see the awesome award. I want to experience this kind of happiness. It’s Li Yan who shouldn’t be disappointed with the award. We earned it with our blood.”
"That's right."
Yes, you two big-headed ghosts.
"Go clockwise," Liang Tiancheng pointed to Li Ruofei next to Li Yan, "Start from Ruofei."
Boys' happiness is so strange sometimes, as long as there is "Comparison" and "interaction" can start everything noisily.
As Zhu Qinglun said, these are Li Yan's certificates. In fact, they have nothing to do with anyone else.
But Li Yan initiated such an inexplicable invitation, and everyone really happily participated...
The secret will be revealed soon.
Li Ruofei shook his head, "Ayan, the Star Literature Award should be the most important award, right?"
"So." Li Yan actually wanted to say no, because he cared more about it. I have a mystery novel competition in my hands, but in terms of holding specifications, requirements, and authority, the national essay competition jointly organized by the Propaganda Department of Linjiang Province, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the Writers Association is indeed a heavyweight.
"Let’s announce the heavyweight finale. I don’t know what the other competitions are. Recently, except for the Tianxing Literature Award, the most advanced ones should be provincial essay competitions, right? Some are open to the whole country, but the hosting is in cities and counties. "It shouldn't be compared to 'Great Beauty Linjiang'" "Ruofei is so skilled?" Liang Tiancheng asked.
"These competitions require submission of works published in publications at or above the municipal level. I selected a few submissions and won the silver medal of New Taipei's "May Cup"."
Everyone cheered a little.
"How about we reveal it from the 'May One Cup'." Li Ruofei pointed to Chen Fan on the other side of Li Yan, "Ayan, let's have a direct duel, haha."
Chen Fan sighed, "It seems that the competition level I got is relatively low."
Yes, this is the reason why they will participate in this blind box opening event. The competition level they got, after opening it Performance level can be a comparison of combat strength...
Li Ruofei received a certificate of legendary quality, while Chen Fan was just a rare one.
The "defeated" Chen Fan quickly opened the envelope and opened the certificate of award without giving any buffer, "Gold medal."
"As expected, I still can't compare to you, Ayan." Li Ruofei handed over his hand. , "Please give me more advice."
Li Yan just smiled and patted Li Ruofei.
Liang Tiancheng and Chen Fan have similar styles. They both opened decisively, and the result was another first prize in the province-wide essay competition sponsored by Xin'an City.
"I'm numb. I suddenly feel like I'm here to be shown off by Mr. Yan today."
As Zhu Qinglun said it, he slowly pulled out the certificate of award in a pretentious manner. What was funny was that he took it backwards and kept mumbling about it for a long time. The result was Others watched helplessly as the word "一" appeared in front of their eyes.
"Don't be too busy Qinglun, first prize." Lin Heng bumped into him, "It's my turn."
Then he was even more aggressive than Zhu Qinglun, like a dancing master. I was messing around, and then I was stunned when I saw the words "Third Prize". Everyone was stunned except Li Yan.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized that they had long been accustomed to Li Yan taking first place in everything, but this "third prize" was so dazzling.
"Lao Yan, this...I'm not lucky." Lin Heng didn't know how to comfort him.
Li Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, "These judges are idiots."
You have said everything to comfort us, what else should we say?
“The lowest prize was given in the lowest competition.” Li Yan just laughed and said, “It’s nothing to worry about. His first prize prize is not as high as others’ third prize.”< br>
Only then did everyone discover that the organizer of this competition was the New Taipei City Linghu District Federation of Literary and Art Circles...
It was time for everyone to pay attention, and Li Ruofei suddenly felt a pressure. Weird, it was obviously not my transcript, so he was nervous. What's the point?
“Ruofei, the miracle is in your hands!”
“Witness the birth of the great writer Li Yan!”
“Show us a dazzling story. Wait for the prize!”
The grass mud horse is on fire!
With trembling hands and excited heart, Li Ruofei carefully opened the envelope, shook it out, and unexpectedly dropped another small envelope.
A very high-end dark-grained red cardboard with several large gilded characters on it, and even a wax seal with a copper seal.
"Invitation to the awards show..."
Holy shit, Chen Fan grabbed Li Yan's shoulders and shouted to him solemnly, "Awesome" ! ”
The characters are straight and round.
Li Ruofei was too lazy to open it slowly and decisively pulled out the certificate. A dazzling "gold medal" was very conspicuous.
There were five more monkeys in the dormitory.
"Come on, come on, I want to see that invitation, let me fantasize about it, I can't stand it anymore!" Lin Heng was the one who screamed the most happily.
A group of people watched eagerly as Li Yan opened the invitation letter and simultaneously read out the words above:
"Dear Mr. Li Yan:
Congratulations on winning the gold medal in the 7th 'Tianxing Literature Award' National Essay Contest. In order to solemnly commend the winning author, you are specially invited to participate in the 2009 Lin Lin Festival on June 28, 2009. The 2009 Linjiang Provincial Outstanding Writers Summit and the 7th "Sky Star Literary Award" National Essay Competition Award Ceremony will be held at the auditorium of the Overseas Chinese Building, No. 186, Bangjiang East Road, Rongxi District, New Taipei City, Jiangsu Province. Report to the Overseas Chinese Tower Jinli Hotel before 16:00 on June 27th.
Wish you a happy trip, thank you! ”
Everyone made a contorted look after reading.
Li Yan was helpless, "What's the matter, is it so good that it makes you constipated?"
"Dear Mr. Li Yan!" Lin Heng repeated it again, insisting on reading all the explanations behind it, "Contest organizer Fang Linjiang Provincial Propaganda Department, Linjiang Provincial Writers Association, and Linjiang Provincial Literary and Art Federation will provide free food, accommodation and round-trip travel expenses for award-winning guests invited to participate in this event (air tickets will be reimbursed according to train ticket standards, and train tickets will be reimbursed in real terms). It’s so cool, Lao Yan, I’d like to ask if I can bring my roommates with me.”
“Which article did you win the prize for?” Li Ruofei’s focus was different.
""When Kapok Falls", a...short story."
"That story also belongs to you?" Li Ruofei was shocked, "It's not a pen name of Big Cat, Two Cats and Three Cats. ”
"It's me, but the submission requires your real name. I've filled in the address, so just write your name."
"How many pen names do you have?"
"This, I forgot, I can’t remember.”
Zhu Qinglun pulled his hair directly, “The protagonist of this world is you, and I am the NPC, right?”
“Wait a minute. "Don't go crazy, everyone," Chen Fan suddenly realized something, "Li Yan has something in his hand."
Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and said as he opened it, "Actually, what I am most nervous about is this competition. I like mystery novels very much. I am very curious about my level in the current mystery world. And the competition is sponsored by a publishing house, so it should be published directly..."
Halfway through the words, a black-covered letter fell out of the torn envelope——
Invitation letter .
No way? Score twice?
The quality is even higher than the red invitation just now.
Li Yan slowly picked it up and tore open the wax seal. There was more than one thing inside. The main text of the invitation was only a card with a very simple content:
"Fenda:
Congratulations on winning the first prize of this International Mystery Literature Award. You are specially invited to attend the award ceremony on June 27. Please see the brochure for details.
We look forward to your visit at the Publishing Ceremony and Mystery Conference.”
After reading it, Li Yan just patted his head and said, "Damn, how come the time has coincided."
The whole dormitory exploded.
