Teacher Yuanyuan lost...
Although this kind of one-on-one literary duel is destined to have a 50-50 chance of winning and losing, and Yuanyuan and Ahu are fairy tale works of the same level, it is not surprising who wins or loses, but the Qin people still felt a little shocked.
“What a pity.”
"The difference between Yuanyuan's and Ah Hu's books in terms of sales and reputation is actually very small, but it is often this tiny difference that determines the outcome of a literary duel. Now Yanren is going to start showing off."
"Does this mean they have succeeded in their revenge?"
"At most, it can be regarded as a way to save face."
"The short fairy tales of the Yan people are useless, so they competed with us in long stories. Besides, Teacher Yuanyuan only lost by a narrow margin, while the famous short fairy tale writers of Yanzhou were directly defeated by Chu Kuang's "Fairy Tale Town"!"
"… "
Teacher Yuanyuan's failure ultimately dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Qinzhou fairy tale circle. Chu Kuang, the king of short fairy tales, became everyone's last psychological comfort, and the same emotion also appeared in Shui Zhurou.
“I lost again.”
Shui Zhurou smiled bitterly.
In the first round of the deputy editor performance competition, she and Zhang Yang both lost to Lin Xuan. She thought she could make a comeback in the second round, but she lost to Zhang Yang again. Although the gap was not big, as many people discussed—
If you lose, you lose.
The choice for the future editor-in-chief of the fairy tale department will most likely be between Zhang Yang and Lin Xuan. It depends on whether the company thinks long stories are more important or short stories are more important. In comparison, my hope is the slimmest.
In the office next door.
Zhang Yang finally shook off the haze of being crushed by Lin Xuan in his short fairy tale performance, and he became very excited: "Teacher Ah Hu is indeed a master of literary duels with eight consecutive wins. Even Teacher Yuanyuan was defeated by him!"
“It’s now nine consecutive wins!”
The assistant beside him was also excited: "Yanzhou has experienced eight literary duels, and Teacher Ahu has won all of them. Including this one by Teacher Yuanyuan, Teacher Ahu has won nine literary duels in a row. Didn't Chu Kuang only win nine consecutive victories before?"
"Let's talk about this matter."
Zhang Yang's smile faded slightly: "Chu Kuang's nine consecutive victories are nine at a time, which is completely different from Teacher Ahu. And if we take the previous record into account, Chu Kuang should have won ten consecutive literary battles. In the reasoning circle, he has defeated Leng Guang."
"That's good too."
The assistant laughed: "Although Lin Xuan has Chu Kuang, we have the help of Teacher A Hu, so the situation is not too bad. Moreover, in terms of importance, long stories are higher than short stories. Although our sales are not as good as "Fairy Tale Town", the advantages of long stories are there."
"I hope so."
The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth twitched for unknown reasons. "But I don't know what's going on in my heart. I always feel a little uneasy. My right eyelid has been twitching non-stop since this morning. They say that if the left eye twitches, it means good fortune, while the right eye twitches, it means disaster. Is something bad going to happen?"
Zhang Yang was inexplicably worried.
The assistant was stunned when he heard this, then seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the wall on the left almost at the same time as Zhang Yang. They knew that the place across the wall was the office of Lin Xuan, the third deputy editor-in-chief of the department.
"Ahu won."
In Lin Xuan's office, which was well soundproofed, Zhang Cheng's expression was slightly solemn. "It seems that our biggest rival for the editor-in-chief position is Zhang Yang. I originally thought that Shui Zhurou was our biggest rival."
“No rival.”
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "We just need to consolidate the advantages of short fairy tales. Chu Kuang's new fairy tale will probably be finished soon. Please help me reserve the space and leave the cover empty for Chu Kuang's work..."
“Ding ding ding.”
The mailbox suddenly rang.
Lin Xuan looked at the computer screen, and the smile on her face became even wider. "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Just when I mentioned Chu Kuang's new work, the editor-in-chief Dezhi from the mystery department sent me Mr. Chu Kuang's new fairy tale."
"Shuke and Beta?"
Zhang Cheng had heard Lin Xuan mention this.
Lin Xuan nodded and quickly sat in front of the computer, impatiently clicking on the novel. However, when she saw the formal content of the novel, she was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"See for yourself."
Lin Xuan's expression is wonderful.
Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously came over to take a look, and his expression suddenly became interesting. Chu Kuang's "Shuke and Beta" seemed not to be the short story he had imagined, but a serious one...
A long fairy tale
And the outside world at this time.
Ah Hu defeated Teacher Yuanyuan in the literary duel. The atmosphere in Qinzhou's fairy tale circle was depressed, but the Yanzhou fairy tale circle was greatly excited. It seemed that even the depression of being beaten by Chu Kuang before had dissipated a lot.
"Cool!"
“It’s so enjoyable!”
"Revenge!"
"Although we lost in the short fairy tale competition, we Yan people won the game in the long fairy tale competition. Teacher Ah Hu is really great. The Qin people can only console themselves with Chu Kuang now. The world of long fairy tales belongs to us!"
"Ah Tiger Macho!"
"If this is a round-based system, we are now tied with the Qin people at 1:1, so Chu Kuang won't write a long article. It would be more comfortable if Teacher Ahu's literary opponent this time is Chu Kuang!"
"… "
The fairytale circles in Qinzhou and Yanzhou have completely different atmospheres, and the two completely different atmospheres have also spread to the Internet. Netizens in Yanzhou can finally proudly announce:
“We won!”
A netizen from Yanzhou proudly tagged Qinren and said, "I told you before that Mr. Ahu is very good at writing long fairy tales, but you didn't believe me. Now you know how good Mr. Ahu is!"
"Teacher Ahu is awesome!"
"Our cats are stronger!"
"Allow me to be proud for a while. Teacher Ahu represented Yanzhou and defeated the Qin people. Where is your Chu Kuang at this time? Oh, I almost forgot that you said that Teacher Yuanyuan is the Chu Kuang of Qinzhou's long fairy tale world."
"… "
Qin Yan's netizens have been arguing a lot recently because of the matter between Yuanyuan and Ahu. Both sides have been firing at each other every day. Now that it is time to decide the winner, the Yan people chose to pursue the case relentlessly without hesitation!
"It's weird."
"What are you bragging about?"
"Ah Hu dares to fight nine?"
"Our teacher Yuanyuan lost by a narrow margin."
"Although Ah Hu won, no one has ever said that your teacher Ah Hu is the king of long fairy tales. Our Chu Kuang is the king of short fairy tales recognized by the Literature and Art Association. How can you compare with him?"
"… "
The Qin people were somewhat lacking in confidence when they retorted. Previously, Chu Kuang's nine consecutive victories were a weapon specifically designed to attack the Yan people's sore spots, but now Chu Kuang has become a fig leaf for Qinzhou's fairy tale.
In a literary fight, the winner takes all.
It is destined that the winner will laugh and the loser will cry.
No matter how big the gap in the results of the literary battle is, no one will remember the second place, except for Yue Lun, Chen Zhiyu and others. At least now that the Yan people say that their long fairy tales are better, the Qin people have no tenable reasons to refute them.
But that night...
Silver Blue Bookstore, which has become the focus of attention due to the successive battles in the fairy tale circle, unexpectedly released a surprising new book preview: "Chu Kuang's first long fairy tale work "Shuke and Beta" will be released in five days."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
