Chapter 506 I'm from the Chinese Department

Xu Zechen stood up to ask questions, not only Yu Dong was surprised, but Liang Huishi, who was the host, was also stunned.

Liang Huishi taught the Chinese Department, and he arranged for the students who asked questions at this event, but he didn't arrange for this Xu Zechen at all, and he didn't remember that there was such a name as Xu Zechen in the Chinese Department.

But in the current scene, Liang Huishi couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and say, "Student, what do you want to ask?"

Xu Zechen looked young, with thick eyebrows and small eyes. Although he was not tall, he was quite energetic.What attracted the most attention was his nose. The tip of his nose was very large, and his nostrils were slightly turned out. In addition, he liked to hold his head up when he spoke, so Yu Dong could still see his nostrils even though he was on stage.

Hearing Liang Huishi's question, Xu Zechen smiled and said, "My first question is to ask Teacher Yu Dong."

Yu Dong is no stranger to Xu Zechen. This kid is one of the best writers born in the [-]s. He won three of the four awards at a young age except for Cao Yu's drama. Among them, no one is invincible.

But Yu Dong had never seen such a young Xu Zechen.

Yu Dong remembered that when he left at the end of 2019, Xu Zechen had just won the Contradictory Literature Award. At that time, the media were saying that Xu Zechen was young and only in his early forties.

According to the time, Xu Zechen might not even be twenty at the moment.

Yu Dong looked at the young Xu Zechen, and asked with interest: "Student, what questions do you want to ask me?"

Xu Zechen organized his language, and said, "Mr. Yu Dong, I have studied your previous novels, and found that the style of each novel has changed, especially "The Crowd". Several novels are very different. We all know that a successful writer often has a strong personal style, leaving traces in writing, but you seem to have been trying to change... This change is something you deliberately made for In other words, does it happen naturally? Don’t you think that such constant changes will cause you to lose your personal style?”

Yu Dong raised the microphone and was about to answer when Bi Feiyu smiled and said, "Why don't I answer this question?"

"Okay, come on." Yu Dong nodded.

Seeing Yu Dong nodding, Bi Feiyu looked at Xu Zechen with a smile: "The reason why I want to help Yu Dong answer this question is because as his reader, I can tell this classmate responsibly that Yu Dong is really good at writing. There are changes, but his style is not as weak as this classmate said. In fact, if you read Yu Dong's novels carefully, you will definitely be able to recognize the difference between his works and other people's works."

"A person's style is an overall thing, not fixed in a certain range. An author who writes realism today does not mean that he cannot write romanticism tomorrow. Just as a chef cooks a dish of cucumber scrambled eggs today , I can cook a plate of radish stew tomorrow. The style of a writer will not be obliterated because of the type of writing he writes, and the style of the chef will certainly not disappear because of the different dishes he cooks. I say this, you understand Is it?"

Xu Zechen nodded, and asked again: "Will Teacher Yu Dong continue to seek more changes in writing techniques in his next work "Old Book"?"

Bi Feiyu looked at Yu Dong, meaning that he couldn't answer this question.

Yu Dong smiled and took over the conversation, "Compared with "The Crowd" and "Xiangxi", both the story and the language of "The Old Book" will be more peaceful. In addition, here I would like to tell you a little bit, "The Old Book" and "The Crowd" " has something to do with it. In fact, "Old Book" is an extension of a certain part of "The Crowd". I can't say more, and you will know when it comes out."

"Teacher Yu Dong, when will this book come out?" Xu Zechen asked again.

Xu Zechen asked several questions in a row, but Liang Huishi didn't interrupt, because it seemed that these questions were quite normal, and he really wanted to know the release date of "Old Book".

When he was designing questions before, he thought about asking students to ask questions related to "Old Books", but considering the other three, he didn't design such questions.

Yu Dong spread his hands: "I can't answer this question for you. The other language versions of this book are currently being translated, and there will be no news about the next step until all languages ​​are translated. Now we can decide when this book will be translated." It was not me who sold it, but the translators who silently paid for it behind the scenes."

"Teacher Yu Hua, I heard..."

After asking Yu Dong, Xu Zechen asked Yu Hua and the others a few more questions. Liang Huishi saw that he seemed to be asking endless questions, and quickly said, "Student, today's time is limited, please give the opportunity to other students. .”

Hearing Liang Huishi's words, Xu Zechen nodded and sat down again.

After this small episode, the activity went back to the original track and proceeded smoothly.

When the lecture was about to end, someone came up to the stage and whispered something to Liang Huishi. Liang Huishi looked in the direction of Xu Zechen in surprise.

After a while, two people walked up to Xu Zechen and invited Xu Zechen out.

There was no big commotion during the whole process, but Yu Dong had been paying attention to Xu Zechen, so he saw the scene where he was invited out.

After the lecture was completely over, Liang Huishi asked them to go to the side. Yu Dong couldn't help but asked Liang Huishi, "I see someone took the student who asked the question out, what happened?"

Hearing Yu Dong ask about this, Liang Huishi smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Yu, you noticed it too, it's really hard to explain this to you..."

While talking, several people walked out of the auditorium, and saw two people standing in front of Xu Zechen, talking to him.

As for Xu Zechen, he kept his head down and listened obediently, without talking back at all.

Liang Huishi looked at them and said with a smile: "Hey, the colleagues in the security department are educating this kid."

Hearing the word "education", Bi Feiyu asked curiously: "Old Liang, what's the situation? Is it because this child didn't follow the process you designed?"

Liang Huishi quickly said: "How could it be? Although we have made some designs in the process, it is not necessary to embarrass the students because of this. Besides, this child didn't ask any excessive questions."

"Yeah, if that's the case, why educate him?" Yu Hua asked.

Liang Huishi sighed slightly, and explained, "You guys don't know something, this kid is not from our school."

"Not from your school?" Yu Dong asked in surprise, "Then how did they get in? They're still in the front row?"

"I don't know the details. They told me that he is not from our school. In fact, when I saw him just now, I felt a little strange. I teach in the Chinese Department. I dare not say that I know all the students in the Chinese Department. , but I have basically seen him face to face, I have no impression of this child at all."

When Yu Hua heard about this situation, she thought it was quite interesting, and said with a smile, "Let's go up and have a chat with him, and see what's going on."

Saying that, Yu Hua walked over immediately, and the others followed behind, and when they came closer, the two guards also stopped when they saw them approaching.

"Teacher Liang, all teachers."

Liang Huishi nodded and asked, "Have you clarified the situation?"

"I made it clear that his classmate is from our school. There is a seat in the auditorium for this event, so he came in for his classmate."

"Which school?"

"Huaiyin Normal University."

"Hey, it's far enough. It's not easy for your school to come here."

"It's not too difficult." Xu Zechen said.

Yu Hua joked, "That classmate of yours is loyal enough, so he really let you in."

"It's agreed to treat him to two meals."

What Xu Zechen said made Yu Dong and the others laugh.

Hearing Yu Dong and the others laugh, he looked up at them, and said to the people in the security office a little unconvinced: "Your school didn't say that the places to participate in the activities are not allowed to be transferred to others, and you didn't say that people from other schools can't participate. I didn't violate your school's rules by doing so."

Liang Huishi swallowed, not to mention, there is nothing wrong with Xu Zechen's words, and he really didn't say these things when he sent out the notice for this event.

"But you can't lie, it must be wrong to lie."

"I'm not lying."

"Didn't you lie? You said in the auditorium just now that you are from the Chinese Department."

Xu Zechen raised his head, "I am from the Chinese Department, but I am from the Chinese Department of Huaiyin Normal University."
