Yangping County, Principal’s Office.
"Cough cough cough!"
Teacher Gao blew out a smoke ring worriedly and choked on the smoke.
He is worried about his student Jiang Yulou!
He has also felt the recent ups and downs in public opinion. Even he, an outsider, feels suffocated, let alone the students at the center of the whirlpool?
He couldn't figure out why the seniors in the literary world were clinging to this young man Jiang Yulou, making a big fuss out of a trivial issue and making a big deal out of it. Could it be that... they wanted to make the same mistake again?
Since the public opinion broke out, reporters have approached them one after another, but this time he didn't want to stop them. It's not that Teacher Gao is afraid of trouble, but he hopes that these local media reporters can say more good things about Jiang Yulou.
Yangping County has finally produced a promising writer and poet, but it cannot be ruined by public opinion.
Writing is as sharp as a knife, but he had seen it many years ago.
I still have lingering fears.
The principal sighed and said, "Well, the person who tied the bell still needs to be untied. I still need Student Jiang to express his position on this matter."
Teacher Gao frowned slightly: "What attitude do you want to express?"
"I think it's better to admit my mistake and let this matter be over." As he said that, the principal stroked his beard under his chin.
Teacher Gao blushed and said angrily: "Yu Lou was not wrong, why should he bow his head and admit his mistake!"
"It's not enough that those criticizing are seniors in the literary world?" the principal asked.
Teacher Gao's expression froze, and he could not refute these words. Those old-timers are considered to be the ones with the right to speak. They have wide connections and great influence. If the storm cannot be calmed down quickly, it will not be a good thing for Jiang Yulou or the school.
The principal finally advised: "Jiang is still young. It is not shameful to apologize to the comrades in the old literary world. He has a bright future. If he is suppressed because of such a thing, it will not only be a loss to Jiang, but also a loss to the literary world."
Teacher Gao was silent for a moment. Just when the principal thought he still couldn't be convinced, Teacher Gao pinched off the cigarette butt and sighed: "Okay, I'll go and persuade Yulou. However, this kid has an idea, I don't necessarily It’s persuasive.”
"enough."
He has said what needs to be said and done. He has also found some old friends. As for the outcome, it can only be left to God's will.
The atmosphere in the class has been a bit depressing these two days, all because of the bad news in the newspapers, and the students are also very worried about Jiang Yulou.
The closer he is to someone, the more worried he is about him.
It's just that they are all students and they really can't think of how to help him.
"Yulou, what should I do? Why are there voices criticizing you in the newspapers? You were obviously fine before."
Tang Yuewen was so anxious that she almost came out, wiped the corners of her eyes and choked.
Ma Xiao said angrily: "They are all seniors in the literary world, how could they do this!"
"An Xin, isn't it just some scolding? The scolding won't kill me, so there's nothing to worry about."
Jiang Yulou looked calm and comforted the two of them.
"But……"
A trace of fear flashed in Tang Yuewen's eyes.
This method reminded her of big-character posters and posters in previous years, and... Her heart tightened, and she held Jiang Yulou's hand regardless of the presence of outsiders.
Jiang Yulou thought for a moment and understood what the girl was worried about. He smiled slightly and said, "Yue Wen, Ma Xiao, times have changed."
The two of them were stunned, not understanding what he meant by the different times.
Jiang Yulou didn't explain either. Some things became more confusing the more he talked about them, so he might as well let them see the results.
He knew that his classmates and friends were worried about him, but he was eating well and sleeping well, and was not worried about himself at all. Even because he was rich and had better food at home, he gained a lot of weight.
When the two of them were still about to say something, Teacher Gao came to the classroom and called Jiang Yulou to the office.
The center of the topic is no longer there, so we can only give up.
In the office.
Teacher Gao thinks Jiang Yulou is very special. Let alone a young man, this kind of thing is a big deal for any experienced adult.
But Jiang Yulou was different. He was laughing and joking every day, as if he was not affected by things at all. The key point is that he is not just pretending.
Teacher Gao is confident that he can tell whether it is true or false at a glance.
He secretly sighed in his heart, with Yulou's determination, he couldn't do enough.
Jiang Yulou scratched his head and asked with a guilty conscience: "Teacher Gao, you asked me to come to the office without saying anything, which made me feel very upset."
He asked tentatively: "Did I get into trouble again?"
Teacher Gao was also very distressed. He sighed and said, "It's not that you got into any trouble, but that some people bullied the small ones."
Jiang Yulou felt like a mirror in his heart, and of course he knew the meaning of Teacher Gao's words.
He was silent for a moment and then said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. If they want to scold them, let them scold me. Anyway, I have received the royalties. What else can they do to me?"
"It's not that simple." Teacher Gao said something, and then said: "Yulou, why don't you admit your mistake in the newspaper."
The smile on Jiang Yulou's face, who was still smiling just now, disappeared, and he said calmly: "I'm not wrong, what mistake do you admit?"
Teacher Gao had long known that it would not be easy to convince him, so he spoke out what the principal said.
"Writing poetry is my hobby. If I stop writing poetry in the future, what can they do to me?" Jiang Yulou said confidently: "Moreover, my strength comes from myself and the love of the people, not from their gang. An old stubborn man with rotten ideas!”
"Teacher Gao, times have changed, and it is no longer feasible to convict someone for speaking out."
Teacher Gao stared blankly at the calm and confident Jiang Yulou, as if he only really knew his student now.
"The teacher is not as good as you!"
The confident expression on Jiang Yulou's face immediately collapsed, and he said sheepishly: "Teacher Gao, your praise is a bit excessive. Although I am better than you, I am not much better."
"You kid." Teacher Gao laughed.
Suddenly, the solemn atmosphere disappeared.
If you don't apologize, don't apologize. Protect your own students. Over the years in Yangping, he has also met some journalist friends who would like to support Jiang Yulou in newspapers no matter what.
Provincial capital, Yanhe Literary Monthly Society.
President Lei, Editor Sun, Lu Yao and other editors were all meeting in the conference room.
As the publisher of Jiang Yulou's two love poems, Yanhe has also been criticized.
Why give in to vulgarity? Yanhe's surname is "Zi" instead of "She". The sound of "vague" is rampant. The society is in a state of distress.
Of course, "Yanhe", as the number one literary magazine in Shaanxi Province, has its own arrogance and does not get flustered when others say bad things.
Yanhe has always relied on readers and writers from Shaanxi.
As long as the fundamentals are in place, no one can even think of making irresponsible remarks on Yanhe's behavior.
At this meeting, the discussion was not about who to admit fault to, but Jiang Yulou.
