Chapter 135 The best result!
The impact of the news broadcast was quite bad.
Because there are still many ordinary people in the world, and most ordinary people have helped strangers to some extent in their lives, so they feel too strongly about the possibility of being blamed.
The old man who cheated people is called Duan Jianjun, who was born on the day of the Army Day. To be honest, this is an insult to the name.
He was a reckless person when he was young, and even more shameless now that he was old, so he could blackmail the little girl.
What about students? What about police?
No money is needed - the proud Duan Jianjun didn't feel proud for long before he was bombarded with phone calls from his children because they had seen the news.
"What are you doing? Do you know that our whole family is famous? Do you want your grandson to be bullied at school?"
"My superior came to talk to me today. Tell me, do you want to bring down my job?"
"Get this resolved quickly!"
……
When Gu Lu got home and just turned on his computer, he was bombarded with messages from his editor.
"There is a special letter from a reader. Teacher Gu, you must take a look at it." Han Zang, the editor of Time Mystery, said, "I have taken a photo of it and sent it to you via email. The original is on its way by express delivery."
What is so special about readers’ letters? Gu Lu has been serializing “Years of Reasoning” for three issues and has received more than 20 readers’ letters. I have never seen the editor-in-charge so excited before.
As expected, short stories don’t attract people’s attention. Before the long novel was serialized, I published so many short stories but no readers wrote to me.
Having said that, in the golden age of physical literature (the 1980s and 1990s), readers’ letters could be packed in sacks.
Gu Lu opened the email at the urging of editor Han Zang on the phone.
[Dear author, I am a reader from the UK, and I came across Mr. Holmes by accident...]
"Foreign readers? That's exaggerated. We have an English version of "Mr. Sherlock Holmes"?" Gu Lu didn't finish reading the letter, but the opening was enough to make him unable to hold back.
"We only have the Chinese version, but the person who sent the letter, Isabella, is an exchange student from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and University of London, and her Chinese is pretty good," Han Zang said. "Our editorial department has basically confirmed that the other party is British."
"Teacher Gu, you have foreign readers even before the English version is published." As the editor-in-chief of Mr. Holmes, Han Zang is proud of it. "Our newspaper has been developed for so long, and the foreign readers are mostly Japanese. Teacher Gu only serialized half of the book and directly sold it to Europe."
If you think about it carefully, the other party is British, so this is understandable. Holmes' influence in the UK is really exaggerated both on Earth and in the parallel world. Not only was he awarded the title of knight as a virtual person, but he was also awarded the title of honorary member of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
The fact that "Mr. Holmes" is recognized by Sherlock Holmes fans all over the world as the best secondary novel on the planet is a testament to its strength. It is also reasonable that it is regarded as one of the two pearls of the post-Conan Doyle era, along with "The House of Silk".
"The magazine also has Japanese readers?" Gu Lu was curious about another thing.
As for "Years of Reasoning", it has even gone abroad?
"Because we often publish Japanese mystery novels, we have cooperation with GIALLO and FAUST and have exchanges on copyrights." Han Zang explained, "There are also few publications about Japan in China, so many Japanese people who work in our country and can speak Chinese will buy our magazine."
It turns out that the foreign novels published by Sui Yue Lu really have copyrights?! This surprised Gu Lu greatly.
"Teacher Gu, these are not important. Please take a look at the back of the letter and see if you agree or not," said Han Zang.
Hearing this, and looking at the letter from the British reader, it turned out that Isabella hoped to translate this novel and spread it on the Reasoning Window Forum.
The Window of Mystery is a mystery novel sharing forum in the UK, which is no different from the AC Forum in China.
"Please let editor Han Zang know specifically. I will thank this foreign reader named Isabella very much. At the same time, I will politely refuse the translation authorization." Gu Lu responded after reading the letter.
"?" Han Zang wondered if he had misheard. "Authorize the translation, and then publish it on the Internet to accumulate popularity. When the time is right, we can publish the English version."
"It's a good idea, but it's just the best idea. First of all, this reader is not a professional translator, and there is still a big gap between knowing two languages and being able to translate." Gu Lu said, "Besides, my works are too far away from Europe now, and licensing now will do more harm than good."
This speech calmed Han Zang down. Yes, the Reasoning Window Forum is essentially a free sharing forum. The nature of the forum determines its attributes. It is impossible to accumulate popularity.
To put it more bluntly, the traffic on the domestic AC forum is not small, but have you ever seen a book published after serializing a book on the forum to gain popularity? No, absolutely not, not even a single example in the past few years.
No wonder others can write brilliant articles at such a young age, but I can only shout “Awesome!” Han Zang thought to himself that people in their twenties are not as calm as high school students.
"Editor Han, I have something to trouble you with." Gu Lu said, "Can our magazine introduce our works to Neon? I think some of my short stories should be suitable for Neon style."
"Don't be too picky, don't be too picky. Mingzhi's works might actually be liked by Japanese people." Han Zang recalled, feeling very perverted like Japanese people.
“But Mr. Gu, don’t hold out too much hope. You also know that there is a certain gap between domestic and foreign reasoning, so we and “GIALLO” and “FAUST” are basically imported, and we haven’t exported them for two or three years.” Han Zang said.
"It's good if it works, and it's okay if it doesn't." Gu Lu also wanted to try his luck regardless of whether there was a chance or not.
If not, then find another opportunity, after all, the book needs to be translated. He couldn't possibly take out the Japanese version, it was too far-fetched for a high school student to be proficient in Japanese and be able to write.
Let me talk about something that is not so fantastical. Wednesday is Thursday.
Wednesday afternoon is the club activity day for No. 8 Middle School, while the last two classes on Thursday afternoon are the activity days for No. 3 Middle School, and the times are about the same.
In terms of the diversity of clubs, No. 3 Middle School is no slouch. There are folk music clubs, reading clubs, radio stations, badminton clubs, etc. The diverse life of members is different from that of ordinary high schools, and it has a taste of the elitism of private schools. But in other words, if the best schools in the municipality are not as good as private schools... wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?
"Zhao Juan, please help me. I can't finish my homework. And I won't extort money."
"Hahahaha, Zhao Juan, you are so helpful, can you help me with today's duty?"
My classmates also watched the news, so they spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Their words may not necessarily be malicious; to be more precise, they are more like "taunting". However, these ridicules are very harsh to the people involved.
"Is it interesting? If you have nothing to do, go and wipe the blackboard." Zhao Juan responded coldly.
Zhao Juan usually has a good temper and speaks softly, so so many boys come to tease her.
It was rare to see such cold voices today, so everyone who had spoken just now fell silent. One male student felt that he had gone too far in his joke and wanted to apologize - but it was too embarrassing, so he gave up in the end.
The classmates who usually had a good relationship with Zhao Juan tried to comfort her, and the atmosphere in the classroom was very disharmonious.
Zhao Juan was not in such a bad mood because after two days of the news broadcast, many witnesses had been found, including office workers, elderly people and students.
The old man who committed the fraud seemed to be afraid that the matter would become a big deal, so he quickly changed his words.
He said that he was old and remembered it wrongly, and that he was not hit. Duan Jianjun said he did not want any compensation.
Zhao's mother would not agree. Now that she had a witness, she would sue Duan Jianjun for extortion. Even if the final judgment was not to pay much money, she just wanted to prove herself.
The reason for her serious expression was what she had said while crying at home - screwed up.
After what happened to her, who in Fog City dares to do good things?
Zhao Juan felt that her careless behavior had lowered the overall quality of Fog City...
Look, why good people can never defeat bad people. She is obviously the victim, but in the end she still blames herself.
The feeling of self-blame lasted until the afternoon. When the club activity was about to start, the radio was supposed to play soft music, but unexpectedly it was a broadcast -
“Dear teachers and dear students: Hello everyone! This radio station would like to announce an exciting good news to you.
As a glorious member of the Communist Youth League, Zhao Juan from Class 7 () of Senior High School always stays focused in class. In life, she is united and friendly, setting a good example for others.
Outside, Zhao Juan is also willing to help others and actively participate in social interactions.
To commend the advanced deeds of outstanding league members and further motivate the Communist Youth League organizations at all levels and the vast number of league members in the city.
The Municipal Youth League Committee decided to award Zhao Juan the honorary title of "Outstanding Communist Youth League Member of the City".
On behalf of the school, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to Zhao Juan! "
Most of the honorary titles of "Outstanding League Cadre Model" are announced around the May Fourth Youth Day, but this is not always the case, for example, when there are advanced deeds that need to be commended immediately.
There is also Gu Lutou’s advanced materials, which can be said to be highly recommended. Even his own outstanding students in Wudu have not been announced yet.
There was a lot of noise on the radio, but the key word was "helpful".
The students in Class 7, oh, the entire Class 3 Middle School were all surprised. Was this a blessing in disguise for Zhao Juan?
Excellent team member? Zhao Juan was a little stunned by the unexpected reward. She was not a fool. According to common sense, it was definitely out of her reach!
"Is it that the impact of this incident is too great? Or..." Zhao Juan thought of two possibilities and was more inclined to the latter.
"Don't just stand there, go to the broadcasting room and receive your award. There is a certificate." The head teacher of Class 7 reminded Zhao Juan who was still confused.
"Okay, thank you teacher." Zhao Juan left the classroom.
The fact that she was awarded the title of outstanding member of the Youth League will be reported by both the Young Pioneers Daily and the official media, and the official will also express an attitude.
If you do good things, you will be rewarded. This is what Gu Lu wanted to achieve after running around and working hard for a week.
Regardless of whether it works or not, at least the outcome is much better than the Peng Yu case on Earth.
Zhao Juan received the award certificate in the broadcasting room, and then took out her cell phone from the "inside pocket" of her school uniform.
No. 3 Middle School also does not allow students to bring mobile phones - basically all good high schools prohibit this.
Why are the inner pockets in quotation marks? Because they are made by manually destroying a layer of thin cloth lining inside, and then sealing it with needle and thread. It is specifically used to hide mobile phones.
[Thanks--]
Zhao Juan wanted to express her gratitude, so she typed it many times, but deleted it over and over again.
No matter how you say it, it feels insincere.
Finding a reporter to appear on "Everyday 630" and getting this certificate, it must not be easy even for a famous writer to accomplish these!
[I cried very little this time, even only once!]
After deleting it seven or eight times, Zhao Juan finally posted it. She still remembered Gu Lu’s evaluation in the classmate list... So what she meant was that I have made some progress.
