Chapter 256 Am I so good?
Chapter 256 Am I so good?
Gu Lu replied to the email, the main content of which was: Is there a market for "The Little Prince" in South Korea? And the price of the agency rights.
After staying on the email page for a while and seeing no new emails, Gu Lu knew that the other party might want to negotiate the price.
Put it aside for now.
Next, take out the galaxy glass ball and place it.
Gu Lu must take good care of the gifts given by others.
"Student Gu, do you find any problems with this report?" Director Hu handed Gu Lu a document during the break.
Looking at the title, it is a report about Gu Ludeng’s publication in People’s Literature and the Eighth Middle School’s efforts to cultivate students’ specialties.
He thought in the report: We gave Gu Lu a lot of free time, and we subscribed to magazines in which students published their works.
In fact, the text of the report left Gu Lu dumbfounded.
Gu Lu had no objection to the teacher's praise.
Everyone must have some benefits.
But the following introduction about him personally - [Gu Lu's thirst for knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary students.
Math teacher Lu: "This child really loves to learn. Even when the bell rings, he will ask the teacher if he can finish explaining all the questions."
English teacher Xiao: "Our No. 6 Middle School's library is open, so we often see Gu Lu using all his rest time to read and learn. Sometimes we need to remind him to eat. The morning self-study session at No. 30 Middle School starts at 6:, but Gu Lu will be in the classroom at o'clock in the morning to study. He is very self-disciplined!"
Chinese teacher Gao: "Gu Lu is not only very serious about his studies, but also has a significant impact on many students' writing skills."
Director Hu: "All the teachers in our No. 8 Middle School pay great attention to the all-round development of students in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects. Gu Lu is not just a student who studies blindly. He is also very successful in club activities. For example, he participated in the writing of the most successful stage play of the Shuren Literary Club to date. He became the literary consultant of the Model United Nations, and with the cooperation of his classmates, the Model United Nations Club achieved a creative record in the city-wide Model United Nations for high school students. At the same time, he is also a key player in the basketball club..."]
"Director Hu, the Gu Lu you wrote here, is it me?" After Gu Lu finished reading it, the only thing left was this doubt.
"Of course, it's not you but someone else," said Director Hu. "Although the teachers of various subjects may have some artistic processing, it is basically consistent with the facts."
Really, if it weren’t for the school’s proposal, Gu Lu wouldn’t have known he was so outstanding.
"It should be fine?" Gu Lu looked at Director Hu. Was he saying there was a problem or no problem?
"Very good." Director Hu's face showed the relief of completing the task.
Because he communicated with Gu Lu a lot, Director Hu didn't treat Gu Lu as a child.
He mentioned cryptically, "This proposal has been revised seven or eight times. When the previous version was submitted, the education department said it was not acceptable."
"Yeah, and then what?" Gu Lu listened attentively.
"The revised opinion is that No. 8 Middle School definitely played a decisive role in education, but its success is definitely inseparable from the personal efforts of students." Director Hu spread his hands, and then it became the current version.
I see. No wonder Gu Lu felt so awkward.
Logically speaking, this kind of proposal must be about the school and the teachers. Why spend so much space writing about the students? It is not the final scene of the college entrance examination champion.
"Oh, so the education department wants to use me as an example?" Gu Lu understood.
One more thing to say is that the top scorer's score is a joke that has not yet appeared in the parallel world. The main reason is that any top scorer in the college entrance examination will almost become a superman who is excellent in everything in the school's interview.
The top scorer in the college entrance examination is definitely an excellent student, but it is an exaggeration to say that he is praised by the school as having no shortcomings at all.
"Just be clear in your mind," Director Hu said, "and don't worry, because even if something goes wrong, your excellence is beyond doubt."
Director Hu comforted the other party, thinking that he had concerns.
Gu Lu was not worried at all. Although this proposal was to be studied by the entire city, no normal person would believe it, right?
"The high school entrance exam is coming soon. If you want to use Xiao Gu's recommendation letter, please tell me in advance." Director Hu said.
"I understand, but I can't use it for now." Gu Lu responded.
Basically, I have said everything I wanted to say.
Director Hu is the head of the Admissions Office, and he also has to help Principal Chang handle many matters beyond his job responsibilities.
It must be very busy.
Director Hu came and went in a hurry, and left Gu Lu's sight.
"Since there are great scholars debating the scriptures for me, I now have some idea of what this sentence means." Gu Lu thought to himself, no wonder those famous geniuses in textbooks were all-rounders when they were students.
So there is this layer.
He returned to the classroom thoughtfully, and Lu Ping consulted him seriously.
"Brother Gulu, do you think I should give up track and field and switch to basketball?"
"..." Gu Lu looked at the Flathead Brother and said, "Brother, have you been poisoned by that Japanese comic?"
Do you really think you have a talent for playing basketball?
In terms of track and field, Flathead Brother is the best in Fog City High School.
As for basketball...
Gu Lu said, "Flathead, I think you should calm down. After all, running is very handsome."
Upon hearing this, the flat-headed brother said "oh", and it was obvious that he did not get a satisfactory answer.
If you have the answer in your heart and then ask others, you are not seeking the answer, but seeking recognition.
This sense of identity was hard to find, so Lu Ping was quiet the whole day.
But the classroom is not quiet. As long as the talkative Zeng Jie is there, it is impossible to be quiet.
During the class, a new proposal was submitted and Director Hu was waiting for the opinions of the higher-ups.
This matter seems to have a lot to do with Gu Lu, but in fact he basically doesn't need to participate. Many things are like this, including the "Children's Book Club" event held by the Writers Association and local propaganda departments. The book list has been confirmed, and Gu Lu didn't know that the little prince was selected.
In addition, "Flatland" has become one of the popular science series of science fiction projects before it was released.
Gu Lu is a student and cannot participate in many things.
That’s not right. It’s not appropriate to say that. It should be that Gu Lu’s influence is not enough and there are many things he doesn’t need to know.
Still need to work harder in terms of fame.
"Can you lend me your campus card?"
After school in the afternoon, Wei Jiao grabbed Gu Lu.
Gu Lu took out his card and asked, "Did you lose your meal card?"
"Of course not, because your campus card buys more dishes. Today we have my favorite pickled fish!" said Wei Jiao.
Wei Jiao continued, "I'm not eating for free, I'm paying for your meal!"
"No problem, you eat first and give me the money tomorrow." Gu Lu nodded.
Gu Lu hasn't eaten in the school cafeteria in recent days because of his poor appetite, so it's okay to borrow it out.
After returning home, Gu Lu felt relieved.
But it’s also a bit high, and my heart feels a bit hurt.
[Zhou Lin: My grandma was sick and was in the hospital for two days. But she didn’t survive.]
Uh, Gu Lu typed a lot of comforting words.
My condolences, don't be sad, grandma doesn't want you to cry, the dead are gone, the living should take care of themselves...
Gu Lu went over all of the above in his mind. He really didn't know what to say even if he had a thousand words to say.
How about changing the subject?
The eloquent Gu Lu was stuck, but it would not be a good idea to say nothing at this moment.
[Gu Lu: How many days of leave did you take?
Zhou Lin: It should be the day after tomorrow. See you at school the day after tomorrow.]
After sending the message, the other person’s avatar turned black.
"Your gray head will not beat again..." This song rang unconsciously in his mind. Damn it! Gu Lu shook his head a few times.
People who have never felt the love of family will be particularly indifferent to it, and Gu Lu is like this.
He had also experienced the death of an elder in his previous life, and at most he was sad on the surface...
This also caused Gu Lu to be unable to empathize with Zhou Lin.
In the next two days, Zhou Lin hadn't arrived at school yet. The promotion of "Flat Country" was launched first!
"Your cousin's new book is about to be released." Zhao Mingming passed by the newsstand.
The poster posted on the newsstand reads [A new work by Gu Lu, the author of The Little Prince, Ice Fruit, and Yesterday's Park, is coming soon. Do you know the story of another world, Flatland?]
"The publicity is quite extensive." Mu Xue said.
It only costs about one hundred yuan to hang a poster in a newsstand for a week. Even if there are 5,000 newsstands, the advertising and promotion costs are only 500,000 yuan.
In addition, many newsstands do not need to pay display fees. The Juvenile and Children's Culture Publishing House has so many publications, so it already has a good cooperative relationship.
"Boss, do you sell this book here?" Zhao Mingming asked casually.
The answer was unexpected. The shop owner nodded and said, "Sell, sell, sell. Of course, the novel will be on the shelves the day after tomorrow."
"Look, the two girls are from other places. Let me tell you, Gu Lu is very smart. Our kids also read his novels." The shop owner recommended the product in salty Mandarin.
"Let me tell you, when Gu Lu first went abroad to participate in a writing competition, a group of foreigners looked down on us Chinese people. As a result, Gu Lu just stood there and wrote."
The shop owner said, "He knocked out all the foreigners and won first place. Gu Lu is the pride of us Fog City kids!"
My goodness, this is typical nonsense from an outsider. Let me give you another similar example, people who don't watch basketball often brag that Magic Johnson is very short, only about 4 meters tall, but he is very good at passing. Jordan is very good, in one game he shot directly from too far away and scored points.
This kind of nonsense must be encountered a lot in life, and Zhao Mingming and Mu Xue were stunned.
Even Gu Lu himself doesn’t know how awesome he is!
"I will definitely not lose money from selling it. If you like it, you can come and buy it the day after tomorrow, and I will give you a small gift." said the shop owner.
It’s actually sold at newsstands?!
Due to the special nature of the newsstand, the items sold are recharge cards, newspapers, drinks and cigarettes.
It is a basic need that you can buy when you pass by.
When buying books, most people still choose to go to bookstores.
Even if there are books, they are children's books that teach people to recognize words and pictures.
"Okay, boss. We will definitely come to buy it the day after tomorrow." Zhao Mingming agreed.
Other writers wouldn't use it this way because the effect is too poor.
But Gu Lu...
