Chapter 323 The house was stolen
The office of Wudu Qingtuanzi located on Shangqingsi Street would definitely be the center of attention if there were 10,000 people, but if there were not 10,000 people, only 32 would be the focus of attention.

The glance is like letterpress printing on paper, very obvious and yet full of content.

Rong Weixin looked straight into his eyes, "This is really bad, Gu Lu has been pried away by someone!"

The civil servants in Wudu Qingtuanzi are not unfamiliar with the name Gu Lu, and even say that it is very common.

Looking at the publicity activities organized by the organization, such as "Youth Hongyan publicity activities launched in Wudu", "Huaxia youth Wudu youth strive to be young Gu Lu", "Wudu strives to build a new era Hongyan pioneer reform-type league organization", etc. Gu Lu's name often appears. Even the leaders will say in their speeches, "From junior high school to high school, and then to the role model of young people in the new era. Gu Lu is an excellent league member cultivated by our youth league, but our staff cannot be proud and complacent..."

There are so many things to say. Anyway, no matter if you, Gu Lu, admit it or not, you have been on our Pioneer newspaper many times. No matter if you admit it or not, as long as I dare to say it, you are our achievement.

"What do you mean? Rong Wei believes you... Don't be anxious, is Gu Lu going to move?" said the older civil servant with thick hair.

At this moment, Deputy Secretary He also heard the noise and walked out of the office, and then he heard -

"Gu Lu represented the youth groups of Heilongjiang Province and published an essay for the National Language Commission's theme activity on protecting dialects. It was also published in the Youth Daily, right here." Rong Weixin made it clear.

Deputy Secretary He was stunned for several seconds. Whose arms are so long? If Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province came to snatch Gu Lu, it would be fine, but you from Heilongjiang Province also took action even though you are hundreds of thousands of miles away? That's too much, my friend!
Deputy Secretary He took two steps at a time, faster than the raindrops outside, and took the newspaper from Rong Weixin's hand.

Dozens of other pairs of eyes also showed curiosity, but there was no way they could snatch the newspaper from the deputy secretary.

So I used my computer to search for something useful——

"Heilongjiang Daily": Mandarin and dialects have never been in opposition... The "protect dialects" campaign has been promoted in our province with great success and has been recognized by the National Language Committee.

The provincial newspaper didn’t mention Gu Lu much, but the newspapers below mentioned him a lot.

"Ice City Daily": China is a country with 56 ethnic groups, more than 100 languages, and more than 30 scripts. The diversity of its language and culture is undoubtedly the prosperity of the Chinese nation... As Gu Lu, the representative of the Heilongjiang Youth League, mentioned in his article, "The territory of Chinese dialect literature has always existed, and it continues to flourish as always."

"New Evening News": Gu Lu, the representative of the Heilongjiang Youth League, wrote an article entitled "Dialects are the most beautiful language in China", which played a very positive role in the theme activity of protecting dialects.

It was reported. This was indeed stealing crystals, and everyone at the scene was silent.

Why did the municipalities and provinces participate in the activities of the National Language Committee, but the Youth Daily only praised Heilongjiang, Shanghai and Hebei? Because there are no clear awards for such national activities, but if the provinces and cities cooperate well, you must also praise them. The three nominations are equivalent to praising the local youth groups for their good cooperation.

To put it simply, it is a reward; to put it more broadly, it is a political achievement.

"Let's go to No. 8 Middle School this afternoon," Deputy Secretary He said immediately.

"Secretary He, our schedule for this afternoon is full." The older civil servant responded immediately and quickly stated his afternoon schedule and that he would report his work to the city leaders.

As long as Gu Lu doesn't move, it's no big deal for the city leaders to help write one or two articles. But it has a huge impact on the entire Qingtuanzi!
In other words, why is it that even though Gu Lu is from Fog City, he was not rewarded for Fog this time, but Heilongjiang Province was rewarded instead? Can you explain this?
The career path in politics is like walking on thin ice, so it’s no wonder that people react this way.

"Then arrange a suitable time." Deputy Secretary He said that he also realized that this matter could not be rushed.

There was nothing else to do when I went to No. 8 Middle School, I just wanted to check on Gu Lu. I haven't shown any concern for him for a long time.

Things like the Youth Daily, or more precisely, activities at the national level, were not discussed by many people, and there was no stir on the Internet anyway.

Even more people are discussing Flowers for Algernon. It has been on sale in China for two months and the sales are very encouraging. It is only a matter of time before the sales reach two million copies.

"The Little Prince has really great staying power." Gu Lu has noticed the rise of domestic comics.

In the past two years, the sales of novel magazines have been lower and lower year by year, while the sales of "Zhiyin Manke", "Sa Manhua", "Manyou" and so on have been higher and higher year by year.

However, King Gollum did not want to switch to comics, and the synthesis sequence would not allow him to make a living in this field.

After school, Gu Lu took a bus to Zhongda University. Because Algernon pendants were very popular, he planned to cooperate with Zhongda University to publish about 10,000 sets of Algernon bookmarks.

Is this considered a joint venture? Gu Lu thought.

The national sales volume of the book is over one million, and with a ratio of one copy per hundred people, Gu Lu feels that it should be sold out, right?

The metal bookmarks were made by the school's visual design department. There were three versions, and Gu Lu chose the most beautiful one.

Today, Gu Lu went to see the finished product. The proportion of the spoils was 4:6, with Gu Lu taking the lion's share. In fact, the major university didn't care about the tens of thousands of yuan in profit at all... To be precise, no major university cared about this little bit of profit.

The reason for this collaboration with the author is that the little mouse and the little deer came from the SPF animal experiment center and are still alive (so the school said). At the same time, Gu Lu also thanked the school in "Flowers for Algernon", proving that the inspiration for the work came from this.

To sum up, the university can also show the capabilities of its school's design major.

24 yuan per set, three bookmarks per set, including "Flowers on the Grave", "Algernon Looking in the Mirror" and "Algernon Walking in the Maze".

"The design is really good." When he saw the real thing for the first time, Gu Lu couldn't help but praise it.

"It's fine as long as you like it." Vice President Cen said, "But, isn't 10,000 a bit too much?"

"It's indeed a bit much." Gu Lu nodded, because Zhongda is not a bookstore, and there are not so many publicity channels. It is not enough to let readers who have bought books know about this.

"I'm using Weibo and Bilibili. I'll go home and promote them later," said Gu Lu.

Vice President Cen nodded. In fact, he would like to print fewer copies and sell them out so that the school can get more publicity.

But it doesn’t matter, the pen is in the hands of the reporter anyway.

Gu Lu made this inference based on the fact that the book Algernon sold so many copies in the previous life and there were no peripheral products, so the peripheral products probably did not sell well.

It doesn’t matter, Gu Lu will participate deeply and accumulate experience for the development of the Little Prince!
……

The heavy rain hit the ground, and the trees on the street and the awnings on the first floor made sounds of resistance.

"Professor Liu, has our list been finalized?" Director Zhao from the United Front Department asked.

Next year is 2014, which is a special day, the th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France! Although it is not good to say this, compared with the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Spain this year, China and France are obviously more valued.

Over the past 50 years, the relationship between China and France has been up and down, but it has created many "firsts".

France is the first major Western country to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership and institutional strategic dialogue with China, the first Western country to conduct civil nuclear energy cooperation with China, and the first country to hold cultural years and set up cultural centers with China. The importance is beyond doubt. The cultural exchanges between China and the West for the establishment of diplomatic relations took three or four months to prepare in advance, and this took at least half a year. Next year is also the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Norway, but there is no praise yet, only a person in charge.

"The cultural exchange list has been finalized." Professor Liu, doctoral supervisor of the French Department of Nanjing University and vice president of the Chinese French Teaching Research Association, handed over the list.

Director Zhao's expression didn't change at first, but when he finished reading it, he looked unhappy.

"This year, Gu Lu was praised by the Spanish cultural department at the China-Spain exchange meeting," said Director Zhao. "I hope we can also achieve good results in Paris next year."

Next year, the exchange group will go to Paris. Here, I would like to point out a misunderstanding. Not all the tenth anniversary exchanges are Chinese exchange groups going abroad. In 2003, the Spanish cultural group came to China. If nothing unexpected happens, the French exchange group will also enter China in 2023.

"We will definitely try our best," Professor Liu understood the meaning of Director Zhao's words and added, "We actually considered including Gu Lu in the list. But we have a lot of artists in China and we are worried that there will be duplication, so we use more newcomers."

"There is another reason," Professor Liu said. "Gu Lu is only a high school student after all. It is not good to put such a huge pressure on students to write articles for the country."

"That makes sense, hahaha." Director Zhao immediately waved his hand. "Professor Liu is the person in charge of the cultural exchange group. You must have considered the selection of candidates and you must be able to make the final decision."

"Then I definitely know," Professor Liu continued, "but the director suddenly mentioned Gu Lu, and I just happened to recall that I was very confused when I was drawing up the list."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'm sorry to bother you, Professor Liu. If you have any difficulties, you must speak up as soon as possible. Only by speaking up can the problem be solved."

"must!"

Director Zhao and the professor's conversation was almost over. Why didn't the former choose Gu Lu? There was no special reason. Maybe he had his own thoughts, maybe what he said to Director Zhao just now was true, or maybe there were other reasons. Anyway, it was as unpredictable as the weather in November in Beijing.

He himself neither disliked nor admired Gu Lu.

On the other hand, Professor Xia Hou, the person in charge of the 60th anniversary of Norway, taught Norwegian. Compared with French, Norwegian is really a minority language in China.

The key point is that Norway's territory and population are relatively small, there is not much trade between them, and the number of jobs provided is insufficient.

“It’s not easy to choose people…”

Norway's population is just over 5 million - Gu Lu's hometown YC District has a permanent population of 1 million, and Norway only has five districts. It's hard to find suitable exchange personnel! That's why Professor Xiahou started planning so early.

"Luckily, Lao Chen recommended someone to me. If Xiao Gu can still write an article called 'The Immortal Fugitive'... the requirements can't be so high. A slightly worse one is also good. I can hand it over to him."

"Even if the higher-ups haven't asked me to start screening the names yet, I'll go visit them when I return home. If they don't agree due to academic pressure, it'll be difficult to deal with them." Professor Xiahou and Professor Liu have completely opposite attitudes. Is this the difference between the cold circle and the hot circle?

I forgot to mention that Professor Xia Hou is currently attending an event at the University of Oslo, a cross-temporal and spatial dialogue between two literary masters, "Lu Xun and Ibsen".

Ibsen is the most famous Norwegian writer, and he enjoys a high reputation all over the world. Those who are familiar with drama should know that Ibsen is the first writer in the West to use social issues as the theme of his drama.

The only common concept between my works and Lu Xun's is that they are both very concerned about the country and society, and want to use their works to wake up this society. "A Doll's House" and "An Enemy of the People" are both very wonderful works.

If the relationships between characters in the West can ultimately be traced back to Shakespeare, then the stories of China can ultimately be traced back to Tang Xianzu, just as the satire and judgment of dramas around the world can all be traced back to Ibsen.

There is a fifteen-hour time difference between China and Norway. When Professor Xiahou was busy at the University of Oslo during the day, it was already night in China.

The night is filled with the girl's thoughts, and the bed cannot contain the boy's impulses...

After a few more nights and days, the streets were filled with the smell of rain.

What does rain smell like? The smell of soil mixed with water and occasionally shampoo, which is what Gu Lu smelled from his deskmate. "I'm really impressed. Why is the food in the cafeteria getting worse and worse?"

"I heard that they changed contractors and the new contractors used fresher ingredients, so the taste is not that good."

"Are you serious? I've never heard that."

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I just heard it from the waitress."

"This is nonsense. The fresher the ingredients, the tastier the dishes will be. They are just treating us like fools."

The students were discussing, and the loudest one was Ma Xuanyou, a core member of the school's Little Chef Food Club. As a sports committee member and a shot put specialty student, he loved cooking in a very contrasting way.

The topic spread outward in circles like a big stone thrown into the water, and all the boarding students in the classroom joined in the discussion.

Two days have passed since the canteen contractor was replaced and students are already complaining.

"Is the food in the new cafeteria unpalatable?" Gu Lu asked his deskmate in a low voice. In the past week, he had been busy with moving, working on the manuscript of Cthulhu, and arranging for his sister to attend school as a day student. He had a lot to do and hadn't eaten in the cafeteria for four or five days.

"It's really unpalatable!" Qi Caiwei responded, "I originally thought that the food in the cafeteria before the change was not good. Often a dish either had too much salt or too little salt. After two days of eating in the new cafeteria, I apologize for speaking too loudly."

"So exaggerated? I'll try it at noon today." Gu Lu said.

Are you kidding? He is a child who has suffered a lot and there is nothing he cannot eat.

King Gollum in the classroom was very curious, and Principal Chang in the principal's office was also curious.

"The deputy secretary of Wudu Qingtuanzi is coming?" Principal Chang was quite confused when he received the news from the reception desk.

It wasn't May 4th Youth Day, and there weren't any activities. What was the purpose of Deputy Secretary He coming? Principal Chang was very confused.

When I asked the reception, the staff responded that it was the Youth League Middle School and the Young Pioneers Work Department that called, and there was no other information.

Qingtuanzi, the deputy secretary of Wudu, is a deputy department cadre, one level higher in administrative rank than Principal Chang, who is a junior cadre.

"No matter the reason." Principal Chang called Director Hu to make arrangements.

Immediately around nine o'clock in the morning, Deputy Secretary He and other civil servants from the Youth League arrived at the school and completed the inspection.

Principal Chang and Director Hu accompanied him for a tour without asking any questions. Principal Chang was unsure of the leader's thoughts, so after half an hour of touring the school, he spoke to the police.

"We very much welcome Secretary He to come to our school for guidance," said Principal Chang. "Feel free to raise any suggestions you have for our No. 8 Middle School. Only when problems are discovered can we make progress."

"No. 8 Middle School is a key education base for young people in our foggy city, and it is definitely something our Youth League should pay special attention to," said Deputy Secretary He.

There are only two key youth education bases in Wudu. One of them is No. 29 Middle School, which opened the "Red Rock Heroes Class" in the 1980s. The school's playground and running track are redder than those of ordinary schools. The other is No. 8 Middle School, which was promoted by the school magazine "Young China".

"Is the school magazine "Youth" going well?" asked Deputy Secretary He.

"It's going very smoothly. We sell 500 copies every month. It contains wonderful articles and experience sharing by professional editors. "Youth" is the school magazine that all junior and senior high school students in the whole foggy city pursue and yearn for." Principal Chang introduced.

In fact, there are also students from Fog City, and even students from outside Fog City who submit their works.

"That's great." Deputy Secretary He nodded.

Leaders certainly wouldn't say useless words at this moment. Principal Chang gave a look to the person next to him. Director Hu immediately received the message and slowed down slowly, falling behind the team. Without being seen by the people in front, he took out his mobile phone to check what happened to the "Eight Chinese Treasures".

Director Hu collected information very quickly and soon found out the reason.

"Every move can cause such a big commotion. It's rare to be a student like this." Director Hu was filled with emotion.

At the same time, he also knew that any leader in Fog City who wanted to make achievements in the cultural field would not ignore Xiao Gu.

The wings are full!

A brown-bellied woodpecker flew across the sky, sweeping across the sky. Its flapping wings seemed to cut through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the crowd was always one step slower than Lu.

"Huh? Why are so many people faster than me today?" Gu Lu walked forward and saw an old acquaintance, Zhang Liru, the president of Time Radio.

To be honest, this year is also the last semester for Zhang Liwan, Zhang Liru and other senior high school students to participate in club activities.

It seems that Chinese people have a natural tendency to want to leave something behind for their "career" when they are about to retire. This is what the new president of the Shuren Literary Society, Wan Bai, did, after failing the exam and only getting into a 211 university.

Now Zhang Liru is also ready to make a move.

"Why don't you get food when you come so early?" Gu Lu asked.

"I want to go into the kitchen and take a look." Zhang Liru responded in an irrelevant manner.

"?"

"The cafeteria has a new contractor, and students say the food is terrible. We at Time Radio have the responsibility to go check it out on behalf of the entire school!"

Who says women are inferior to men! Gu Lu gave a thumbs up, "So now?"

"I couldn't get in. Our last class in the morning was physical education, and I told the physical education teacher about it," Zhang Liru said. "I ran over here without waiting for the assembly to end."

"Their reason is that the kitchen is dangerous and students are not allowed to enter," Zhang Liru said. "In the past, students were not allowed to enter the kitchen, but the door was ajar so we could observe secretly. But now the door is locked, there is a problem!"

When Gu Lu heard this, it sounded like there really was a problem with the new contractor.

"Let me try it first." Gu Lu said, "You are a day student, you have never eaten it and you have no right to speak. Let's try the taste first today."

Zhang Liru nodded, thinking that it made sense.

She didn't have a meal card, so she paid the meal fee in cash to Gu Lu, who swiped his card twice.

The unique red card only deducts two cents for two swipes, and he can actually make a fortune by helping others swipe the card to buy meals. Because this card is more powerful than the teacher card, there is no limit on the number of times it can be used.

Of course that is not necessary.

For today's dishes, Gu Lu chose ants climbing a tree, lotus root and pig's trotter soup, salt-fried meat, and mashed potatoes.

"Oh my god, it's so disgusting. This can't be a problem with my cooking skills, right? I don't believe there is a chef who cooks worse than me!" Gu Lu found the first bite unpalatable.

The meat is so soft that you can hardly taste the meat flavor. The overall taste is rather spicy and salty. Why does the pig trotter soup have a faint smell of laundry detergent?

It wasn't so hard to swallow, so Gu Lu quickly swallowed the food.

You must drink water when eating, but...

"Since he won't let us into the backstage of the kitchen... let me confirm one thing this afternoon and we'll gather here at noon tomorrow." Gu Lu said to Zhang Liru.

If any other student had said this, Zhang Liru would have ignored it, but since the person who said this was Gu Lu, it had a different meaning. She quickly agreed and thought to herself that she would bring the club's photography equipment as well.

At the same time, a new situation emerged in Britain, a pioneer region of dairy farming.

Interest is not the primary productive force in work, anger is. Binger, who was filled with revenge, only slept six hours a day and spent most of the rest of his time frantically translating "Mr. Sherlock Holmes".

So is there a more efficient fuel than anger? Yes! Pounds. Because the Daily Express increased Gu Lu's serialization fee, and as an anonymous translator, his translation fee was also increased.

In accepting Portsham Asylum and Dagon, the speed is faster than before.

Yao Xiaoju also made a big promise, "If you translate faster while ensuring the quality of the translation, the newspaper can serialize it earlier, and the popularity will increase. The author's royalties will increase, and your royalties will definitely increase as well."

My goodness, it took me three days to translate a short story, but if I paid enough, it only took me four and a half days to translate two stories!
What about the Daily Express? Even though people in Weymouth protested outside the door, the newspaper, which is always concerned with money, did not back down, but instead stepped up its efforts.

Originally, the fourth edition had about two or three novels in each issue, but today they were all replaced by Gu Lu's works.

Two articles -

The familiar University of Michigan, the familiar Portsham, the familiar Weymouth.

But when the name Bournemouth appeared in the article, the people of Bournemouth who were watching the fun felt like the sky was falling.

As an aside, why are there so many foreign names called Mouth? Weymouth and Bournemouth. People who often watch football also know Portsmouth and, in the original book of Earth, Innsmouth.

Mouth means estuary. Cities close to the ocean and at the mouth of rivers are basically of this type, directly translated as "estuary of the River Wye" or "estuary of the River Bourne".

The town at the mouth of the Bourne River has the largest population in the entire county, with a total of 180,000 people.

Why does it still matter to us?
We didn't provoke you or offend you!
