Chapter 330 Eliminates the Correct Answer
"Cough cough." Vice Principal Lu coughed twice.
The staff of the Party Propaganda Department immediately stopped the discussion, looked towards the door, and found that the person coming was the vice-president, and immediately stood up.
"Principal Lu." "Principal Lu, we have completed the overall work of welcoming Professor Xiahou." A greeting and a work report.
"What platform promotion problem did you just say?" Vice President Lu asked. He clearly heard Gu Lu's name.
He walked over and sat on the sofa, and the two people from the Party Propaganda Department stood obediently in front of him.
"It's a new platform called Bilibili. Because classmate Gu Lu said that this platform has great potential, Principal Chang asked us to move in first and take the initiative." Hai Di answered.
I've never heard of it. It might be a platform for young people. Vice President Lu nodded thoughtfully.
He asked, "The goal is 50,000, do we have 20,000 now?"
Mediterranean was a little embarrassed to respond, but Fatty responded, "I have less than 10,000 followers now."
That's a bit too little. Vice Principal Lu asked, "So what did you say just now about Gu Lu or something?"
Outside the office, he heard the conversation between the two people. Everything else was very clear, but when it came to Gu Lu, the Mediterranean sea and fat belly automatically silenced him, so he couldn't hear clearly.
"Because on this platform, Gu Lu has accumulated 700,000 to 800,000 followers." Fat Belly responded.
"So many?" Vice Principal Lu was surprised, and then said, "Then you should learn from Gu Lu."
"Okay, give me a copy of the specific itinerary." Vice President Lu did not forget his business and left after saying this.
After a long silence, the office finally heard some sound again.
"How dare you say that? More than a thousand fans, less than ten thousand, can you still say less than a hundred thousand?"
"If you say too much, it's not a question of ten thousand. What if Principal Lu asks you for the specific number? How will you deal with it?"
Then the two of them lowered their voices again.
"Yeah, after watching what Gu Lu shot, I felt that it wasn't very interesting. I just don't know why he got so many clicks and likes."
"We can also film students' affairs. I remember that our high school literary association, basketball club, and time radio station seemed to be very famous."
Fat Belly sat down again. His beer belly was indeed big. When he straightened his back a little, his belly was in close contact with the edge of the table.
Ask a student for advice? Hai Di still felt that he couldn't afford to lose face, as his child was the same age as Gu Lu.
The class bell interrupted the conversation between Mediterranean and Fat Belly and quickened Vice Principal Lu's pace.
"Professor Xiahou actually agreed to give the lecture in the small auditorium." Vice President Lu looked at the form. The itinerary arrangements were all communicated by both parties, especially things like lectures.
It was great to have a Norwegian professor from SJTU come to give a lecture.
It happened to be Wednesday afternoon, the club activity time, so if students wanted to come and listen, they could go.
"Professor Xiahou probably has no connection with Principal Chang." Even if they had connections, it would be impossible for him to handle the matter with full authority.
"No. 8 Middle School has nothing in common with Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The more I think about it, the more confused I am."
Never mind. The truth will be revealed when we meet this afternoon. Now...
"Wait, could it be that Professor Xiahou is here just for Gu Lu?" Vice President Lu thought very suddenly.
"He's also obsessed. Not everything can be controlled by Gu Lu. Professor, hand-in, Norwegian, none of these keywords have anything to do with Gu Lu."
Principal Lu got busy. First he had to memorize the manuscript. Then he went to the small auditorium. As the vice principal of No. 8 Middle School, he would definitely need to speak on the stage.
So what is Gu Lu, who has been mentioned several times, doing? He is reading CC's review.
There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, and Gu Lu now fully understands this sentence. Gu Lu has read 70% of the works that Qi Caiwei has read, but his perspective on the works is completely different.
For example, today's article is "You Are Not Welcome in the Garden", which is probably a work by Butterfly Instigation in a parallel world. Gu Lu had never heard of it on Earth, but he read it after coming to this world.
It tells the story of a gardener and his daughter. The main plot is how to take care of the garden, but most of the content actually focuses on the communication between mother and daughter.
Gu Lu’s reading notes are about the care and expectations of parents, which are sometimes like boulders on children and require them to be relaxed in moderation.
Excerpt from a passage written by Qi Caiwei: "Mother Amy is too hard-working. Due to her own lack of knowledge, she wants her daughter to have a better future. On the one hand, she has to endure the harassment of the male owner, and on the other hand, she has to..."
King Guru is not unsympathetic to the mother, but there is a priority, and his perspective is on the daughter. Qi Caiwei, on the other hand, sympathizes with both the mother and the daughter, without distinguishing between the two.
"It's so hard for mothers to educate their children, and it's so hard for children to grow up. It's so depressing." Qi Caiwei sighed three times, "Is there a book that can make people feel more relaxed? It's about psychological activities and why people are so depressed."
There was "Mr. Toad Goes to a Psychologist" in the armory. So Gu Lu casually said, "I don't know if there is one, but if you want to read it, I can write one."
"?" Qi Caiwei suspected that she had heard it wrong. Write a book for me? She asked uncertainly, "Write a book about this psychology?"
"That's about it. It's November now, so I estimate it should be finished by February or March next year." Gu Lu calculated the time.
In order to be "low-key" and not so shocking, Gu Lu had set himself a writing goal of one novella, one novel, and several short stories every year.
The number of words in the Chinese version of Mr. Toad's book varies depending on the translation. The better version is the one with more than 80,000 words, which is a little more than The Little Prince and Flatland, but it can also be considered a novella.
Writing a book just for me, this is unnecessary, how can I feel good about this, won't it be too hard? Qi Caiwei's mind was full of thoughts, but what came out of her mouth was, "Will such a book delay your writing career?"
After all, Qi Caiwei thought that this kind of psychological book would definitely not have a large readership.
"Of course not, don't worry." Gu Lu said firmly.
Nonsense, what a joke! Mr. Toad is a national book in the UK and has long been the best-selling popular science book in China.
Not only will it not affect his writing career, but also the popular science books on psychological counseling and popular science books on mathematics and geometry. Gu Lu believes that the popular science field will become an insurmountable mountain.
The only small problem is that I need to buy some professional books related to psychological counseling.
The cautious King Gollum.
"Okay... okay." Although Qi Caiwei tried hard to keep her voice calm, the trembling in her voice was as recognizable as the lipstick marks on her white shirt.
After calming down, CC was about to say something, but was interrupted by a classmate who ran up from the back row. Qi Caiwei immediately stood up her textbook and pressed her face against the table, using the coolness of the tabletop to cool down the heat on her face.
"Brother Gulu, are all the people in your family so powerful?" Ma Xuanyou asked.
Gu Lu looked at the other person in confusion.
"Your sister is very business-minded and wants to cooperate with our food club." Ma Xuanyou said, "She plans to make sour plum soup and then cooperate with us to sell it, one dollar per cup."
If you buy sour plum powder to mix it with, this price is totally profitable.
"Does the school allow this?" Gu Lu asked.
Ma Xuanyou said, "There will definitely be no problem with the school. The main thing is to get the approval of the president of our Little Chef Gourmet Club."
Oh, after hearing this, Gu Lu understood, "So as Xuan Rou, an elite of the Gourmet Club, you won't tell me that you have solved these problems."
That’s right. After all this preparation, he wanted to hear this! Ma Xuanyou made a low-key gesture, “I’m not an elite. I can only say that I have the highest cooking level in the food club. I’m barely a backbone.”
Barely a backbone? Okay, I admit this, you are very smooth, Gu Lu thought, and gave a thumbs up.
In an instant, Ma Xuanyou felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, and all the pores on his body felt relaxed.
Praise from classmates, teachers, and parents is not as refreshing as Gu Lu's praise.
"To be precise, Jia Jia also adds funds for the activities of our food club, so the cooperation is a win-win situation," said Ma Xuanyou.
Hearing the familiar name Jia Jia, Qi Caiwei knew Gu Xiaomei, so she wanted to say a few words, but her head was too heavy resting on the table, and she couldn't lift her head up even with the effort of her neck.
Although the classroom is small, it is not the same for everyone. Most of the students are happy because this afternoon is the time for club activities. Li Guyuan, who has been heartbroken, is quite depressed. The most obvious manifestation is that she has reduced the frequency of going out to pee.
The teachers had just received the notice from the school, so teachers in each class began to notify each student one by one about submitting their lecture papers.
"Club activities are held every week, so there's no rush. But professor lectures are relatively rare, so you know how to make the choice, right? I hope the students in our class are smarter."
"I forgot to mention that Professor Xia Hou is an authority on Norwegian in China. Many textbooks for teaching Norwegian in universities were directly compiled by Professor Xia Hou." For Spanish, there is the "Asian Spanish Language Association" and for French, there is the "Asian Association of French Scholars", but for Norwegian... I'm sorry, there is no pan-Asian organization.
However, the success of editing textbooks still attracted many students, who gave up their club activities and ran to the small auditorium. They were not interested in Norwegian, but in authority.
Most of the teachers in the school went, including Mr. Gao, Mr. Lu, Mr. Xiao who taught Grade 10 (), and the political science teacher who still did not reveal his name.
"President, aren't you going to the small auditorium? The vice president has already gone." asked a member of the publication company.
The vice president did not go to the small auditorium, but was too sad to go to the grove to be depressed. However, Gu Lu did not expose his shortcomings, "I am not good at Norwegian..."
Before he could utter the word "not interested", King Gollum suddenly thought of something and changed his words, "I am very interested, but I am an introvert by nature and don't like crowded places. There are too many people in the small auditorium."
Being introverted by nature, he was ignored by the members, but the reason behind it was reasonable, "Yes, the small auditorium was packed with people. The last time it was so lively was during the school celebration."
There are few people in the society office, but many people in the small auditorium. The minority obeys the majority, so let’s talk about the small auditorium.
A leader in a field, no matter how niche the field is, always has very valuable knowledge.
In addition, Professor Xiahou often travels abroad to give lectures at foreign universities, so applause is often heard in the small auditorium.
"Norwegian is very humorous. Just like Chinese, it uses many examples to express a meaning. Ha det som en sild i ostekjelleren," Professor Xiahou's Norwegian is very standard. "It means 'like herrings in a cheese cellar'. There are definitely no other fish in a cheese cellar, so it means that the current life is very comfortable. And our Chinese idiom "make a mountain out of a molehill" corresponds to the Norwegian idiom "mistaking a fly for a camel", lage en kamel av en flue, which is very vivid."
Professor Xiahou stopped lecturing after about 40 minutes. He knew that it was impossible to make students interested in a language through one class, and it was even more impossible to teach students in one class. Therefore, he chose some very interesting ones, such as the four or five different ways to say "I love you" in Norwegian.
Professor Xiahou has a song. Who among you here hasn't learned "I love you" in other languages? You all know "Ai Lao Hu You", "Sala Hei Yo", and "Ai Yi Xi Tie Lu"?
It was time to wrap up, and Vice Principal Lu took the stage with the microphone.
"Thank you Professor Xiahou. We were very surprised that you came to give a lecture at No. 8 Middle School." Vice Principal Lu said, let's chat for a few more minutes and make it an hour, and we'll be done!
Hmm? If you suddenly say that, doesn't that give me a very good opportunity? Professor Xiahou suddenly realized something.
Do you want to say it...
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say it in advance without saying hello?
But it is really hard to find writers related to Norwegian.
The above thoughts appeared in Professor Xiahou's mind within a second, and he made up his mind instantly. He would complete the task assigned by the country if conditions allowed, and would create conditions if conditions did not exist.
"No. 8 High School is the best high school in our Fog City, and I personally love this city very much." Professor Xia Hou said, "In addition, I have a little selfish motive."
Okay, the above were all polite remarks, and Vice President Lu didn’t actually expect the professor to respond, but since the latter did respond, then he had to do the supporting role.
"What is the professor's little selfish motive?"
"Next year is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Norway, so the two countries will carry out a series of exchange activities. And I happen to be the leader of this exchange group." Professor Xia Hou said, "I mainly want to invite your student Gu Lu, and hope that Gu Lu can join our exchange group."
"?" Vice Principal Lu on the stage was shocked. He never thought that he had ruled out the correct answer that morning.
Students and teachers in the audience——
"???"
"I know that Gu Lu from our school is awesome, but is he really that awesome?"
"Joining the exchange group, my god, the gap between students is bigger than the gap between humans and pigs."
"Teacher Gao, Gu Lu from your class... is young and promising, and he can achieve great things."
"It turns out the professor came to give this lecture because of Gu Lu."
The teachers were a little numb to the performance of the genius student Gu Lu.
The classmates all felt that they and Gu Lu were in two different dimensions.
"This is an exchange activity between countries. Let Gu Lu go..."
Before Vice President Lu finished speaking, Professor Xia Hou could not help but emphasize, "President Lu, last year in our exchange with Spain, Gu Lu played an excellent role. His article was praised by the Spanish newspaper ABC as the best short story in 2012. ABC is the third largest comprehensive newspaper in Spain."
The conversation between the two was carried through a microphone so that everyone in the small auditorium could hear it.
Damn Old Chang, he has no courage at all, he didn't even tell him about this! Vice Principal Lu cursed inwardly.
OK, teachers and students, you realize that you are making a fuss out of nothing. It turns out that others have already written articles on behalf of the motherland.
It seems normal to think about it? After all, "Young China" is awesome, Vice Principal Lu convinced himself.
"Has student Gu Lu come to the small auditorium?" asked Vice Principal Lu.
The audience was noisy and I didn’t see the real person.
Hey, I didn’t expect Gu Lu didn’t come to listen at all.
"Professor Xiahou, Gu Lu may be busy with the school magazine "Youth". He is the president of the publication company and is quite busy." Vice President Lu explained politely.
"The school magazine "Youth"? It's a very wonderful work, I have heard of it for a long time." Professor Xiahou's words were not commercial flattery.
"Then I'll ask the students to call them over." said Vice Principal Lu.
"No, no, it's me who invited Gu Lu. I just wanted to visit the place where the famous school magazine "Youth" was produced." Professor Xiahou said, "I wonder if Vice President Lu can take me to visit?"
Of course there is no problem. Vice Principal Lu finally has a legitimate reason to contact Gu Lu!
After the professor left, the small auditorium slowly dispersed.
The two walked towards the publication office...
On the other side of the UK -
"If we go back to the Middle Ages, Kane Vanzestone will definitely be sent to the guillotine!"
"My girlfriend is Welsh. Although she doesn't live in Betws-y-coed, she also hates that Sun reporter. If I meet him, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
"Cheers to killing Kane."
"cheers."
……
Quinn and Mrs. Featherstone had left London, but they did not return directly to the village of Portsham because they did not dare to do so.
Kane, who had implicated his family, came to the bar to get drunk, but he was unlucky and even got stuck in his teeth when he drank cold water. As soon as he sat down, he heard two people next to him talking about his name.
Am I really so disliked by everyone now?
Kane didn't believe it in his heart. He wanted to rush up and punch the two people next to him. But the two men could be described in one word: "big and strong men". A smart person would not rush up and give himself a head.
Suddenly! Perhaps it was the alcohol that rushed directly to his brain, and Kane's smart mind came to his senses.
If he did the opposite, wouldn't he be able to use Gu Lu as a gun? If he hated something, he could just let that Chinese writer destroy it.
Must operate!
If he succeeds, Kane will succeed in his comeback. The next moment, he called the editor-in-chief, Monroe.
The past few days have been peaceful and calm.
On November 11th, "Mr. Holmes" will be released across the UK.
The previous English version of "The Little Prince" was first released in London, and then gradually expanded to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland after seeing good sales.
Godet has taken great pains to step on the Chinese talent. Look, he is more anxious than his loyal readers.
Waterstones was still a dozen minutes away from opening, but Gaudi was already waiting at the door.
"Gu Lu has seriously affected my life. Now that I have breakfast." Godie frowned. As a Londoner with a Union Jack, he must eat toast with butter in the morning. Of course, jam and Marmite are also OK. It must also be paired with black tea or coffee to perfectly start a new day.
But I was in such a hurry to go out this morning that I didn't have time to eat breakfast.
Otherwise, let’s go first - Godie looked at the cafe next door. European and American cafes have some simple food, such as sandwiches, panini (Italian sandwiches), salads and desserts.
However, compared to his stomach waiting for breakfast, Godie still thought Gu Lu was more important.
