Chapter 347 Too Formal
Vice Principal Ruan and Principal Gong put down their teacups. With the crisp sound of the teacups hitting the table, the three people present knew, "It's time."

"President Gong, July 230th this year is the th anniversary of France's National Day," said Director Zhao. "We originally planned to send the giant panda Yingying over. But Mr. Dubo from the French Embassy in China proposed another possibility. We hope that your student Gu Lu will write a relevant congratulatory article."

The article by Panda Yingying was replaced by Gu Lu's? Vice President Ruan and President Gong looked at each other. Was the latter's article so valuable?
Director Zhao also noticed the confusion in the two people's eyes and explained: "Our country's influence is growing, so Huaxia Tiancai's articles are more important. Secondly, Gu Lu is very famous in the field of cultural diplomacy abroad. Maybe his fame has not been converted into book sales, but the two articles "Immortal Fugitive" and "The Battle for Antarctica" have both been included in the reading comprehension exams in Spain and Norway respectively."

"These two articles were translated by Professor Chen from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Professor Xiahou from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The Chinese version was not published in the magazine," Director Zhao added.

That's really impressive.

Principal Gong pushed up his glasses and said, "I see. No wonder I have never heard of such an excellent article."

"I heard that Gu Lu has started creating again, so I hope he can accept the invitation," said Director Zhao.

Not everyone pays attention to the Global Times, and the two school leaders were actually unaware of the news that Gu Lu had made a comeback.

"Our school will do its best to cooperate," said Principal Gong.

"It's simply impossible for foreign countries to raise our giant pandas well, so for the sake of the giant pandas, our school also hopes that Gu Lu can agree." Vice President Ruan said.

"Thank you Principal Gong and Principal Ruan for your cooperation." Director Zhao expressed his gratitude. In fact, according to Di Bo, he had already discussed it with the author, but he still had to go through the process here.

After deciding on a time, Director Zhao did not linger any longer and left. Vice President Ruan was still the one to see him off.

Ten minutes later, Vice President Ruan returned again.

"You see, Gu Lu still has a big advantage." said Principal Gong.

"No matter how old you are, you are still a junior." said Vice Principal Ruan.

It’s small, the pattern is small, but President Gong said, “You can still take the postgraduate entrance examination and study for a doctorate.”

"Gu Lu's chances of pursuing a master's degree or a doctorate are slim," Vice President Ruan said. "I've asked."

Asked, when did you ask? Principal Gong was surprised.

Vice Principal Ruan didn't explain much. Just kidding, when Gu Lu first entered the school, he went to talk to him for two hours.

It's a pity that even if he returns, there won't be enough time. Vice Principal Ruan sighed in his heart. However, he only knew that Gu Lu was a young leader in the country and had a high status in the country. Therefore, even though his expectations turned into disappointment, he did not have any direct conflicts with him. He even greeted him with a smile when they met.

I never thought that it would be so recognized in the field of cultural diplomacy abroad.

"Okay, okay, no problem, Tsuge-san. You know me, I listen to the publisher the most." Katsutauchi Maru was very happy. Writing a book requires accumulation, otherwise it will only be a mess. Katsutauchi Maru was tired of writing, so he drank for fun, although sometimes he would drink even if it was not difficult. The girls in the club were all talented and spoke well. The key was that they admired him very much, and their emotional value was quite in place.

Tsuge looked at the beer cans in Katsutane Maru's house and the garbage all over the house, and a sigh flashed across his eyes.

Neon is very strict about garbage classification. What garbage is thrown away every day is fixed. And it is very troublesome. For example, a square bottle of juice. After drinking it, you have to cut the juice box open, clean it, and throw the box cover and lid separately.

Therefore, if you are a little lazy, the house will be full of garbage.

Katsutauchimaru didn't notice the editor's look, because he was relieved. Without the pressure of writing, he could have more fun!
"Then I'll be leaving first." Before Zhecheng became the editor-in-chief, he would help clean up Katsutane Maru's messy room when he saw it.

Now - his own identity is also different. However, the reason given by Tsugejo to himself is that Katsutane Maru is hopeless, so don't waste your working time.

"Have you eaten, Zhecheng-san? Do you want to have dinner together? We can discuss the context of the book together." Katsutane Maru stood up.

It had been two or three years since the last time the editor-in-chief agreed to discuss the book. The first time he was rejected, Katsudane Maru felt very sad and guilty, but after being rejected so many times, it became a polite remark.

"Not today. Let's talk about it later. I have something to do when I return to the company." Zhecheng simply refused. When he was about to go out, he heard Shengduo's question.

"The publishing house asked me not to rush to publish the new book, saying that they wanted me to revise it more carefully?" Katsudane Maru took it for granted.

"..." Zhecheng hesitated, and responded, "Just take a good rest, that's it."

No, this is not right, Katsudane Maru said nervously, "Tsuge-san, is Kadokawa Shoten going to give up on me?"

"Of course not." Tsuge told the other party to relax and have a good rest. After all, President Inoue's style is not to give up any writer who still has a chance to exploit.

Although the sales of new books are getting worse and worse, each copy can still be sold for more than 300,000.

"Please tell me, Tsuge-san. Otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight and I'll be uneasy." Katsutane Maru bowed straight, "Please!"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Zhecheng finally told the truth, "Gu Lu is going to publish a new book. This is his return after five years."

The answer was so cold that even Katsudane Maru froze. After coming to his senses, he immediately said, "Zhecheng-san, I once defeated that Chinese genius openly!"

"Is the company worried that I will lose? Impossible!" Katsuda Neiwan was eager to prove himself, so his tone was particularly high, "If I can win once, I can win a second time." Zhecheng was unmoved, "Katsuta, I believe in you, I believe in you."

I only believe it verbally, but in my heart I truly believe in the incredible "Shoot a Bullet at the Sun" created with the resources of Kadokawa Shoten!
"No problem, I will definitely be able to publish my new book this month." Katsutane Maru sobered up, "Write it, and I'll win again."

"Katsuta, this is the order from President Inoue." Tsuge raised his voice.

Hearing the president's title, Katsudane Maru shuddered, and judging by his expression, he must have thought of that face with wrinkles that could kill many mosquitoes.

Not only the wrinkles, but even the age spots on his face can recall the lines when he was angry. Katsutanemaru was instantly quiet.

"Have a good rest, you don't have to do anything and you can win again." Zhecheng left this sentence before leaving.

Nothing to do? Katsutane Maru watched the editor leave.

In order to convince himself, the child prodigy Katsudane Maru thought to himself that after not writing for a few years, Gu Lu's writing ability must have declined significantly.

Yes, definitely. He has a friend who writes mobile novels (Japanese online novels), and he said that he hasn't updated for three months and doesn't even know how to end a book.

After some not-so-complicated psychological activities, Katsudane Maru convinced himself.

"You're humiliating yourself again, so... I don't know if Oda-chan will go to work today. If she doesn't, I'll call her. No, it's such a happy day, why not call Kanae-chan to come as well."

"Hahaha!"

After a burst of obscene laughter, you need to be an adult to watch the rest of the content.

Another day has passed, and more than half of Gaoyue has passed.

"Write well!" Vice Principal Ruan patted Gu Lu's shoulder to show his encouragement.

"I will definitely try my best to write." Gu Lu said, "I will try my best to return to my previous level."

"Just do your best," said Principal Gong. "This article is a national treasure, hahahaha."

The principal made a joke.

The two school leaders accompanied Gu Lu out of the principal's office.

Compared to the empty room when he entered, Gu Lu now had a small paper bag in his hand, which was the invitation letter given to him by Director Zhao.

This kind of thing has happened twice, but this time it was much more formal than before.

Is this considered an improvement?
Apart from being called to the office by the school leaders, nothing else disturbed him.

Crackling, time passed by in the sound of the blue-switch keyboard. Gu Lu used the blue-switch keyboard.

Time and the sound of the keyboard are really similar. It is a very obvious sound, but once you concentrate on it, you will not be aware of its existence at all...

Gu Lu's typing speed recovered faster than expected. He planned to finish it by mid-June, but he finished the manuscript at the end of May.

Actually, "Suspect" is only about 40,000 to 50,000 words. Although the time in the third year of college is not much, Gu Lu has a lot of time, more than when he was in high school.

Therefore, on May 5, Gu Lu handed the manuscript to Yao Xiaoju. The specific translation and stamp duty were discussed in detail by the agent and Bai Tongshe. In addition, Gu Lu also sent the article celebrating the 29th anniversary of the Bastille Day to Director Zhao.

Director Zhao received the article via email, had it typeset and proofread first, and then sent it to Di Bo.

Why send it to Dibo? Logically, it should have been sent on July 14th with the congratulatory message.

But Dibo from the Chinese Embassy in China wanted to show off, or wanted to be involved in this matter, so he took over the translation work.

It certainly wasn’t Dibo who did it himself, as translation is not a job that you can do just by knowing two languages.

Dubo also has connections, and invited Mr. Xiao Weian, a famous French Chinese translator. Mr. Xiao Weian translated classic works such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio into French. He is a very good translator.

International students in France should know this big guy.

Because he is committed to translating Chinese classical literature into French, Mr. Xiao Weian rarely accepts other translation tasks.

You can imagine how much effort Dibo put in.

Seeing this situation, after discussion within the department, it was handed over to Mr. Xiao Weian.

"Overnight genius?" Di Bo was curious when he saw the manuscript in the email. He immediately sent it to Mr. Xiao Weian and started reading it.

As Gu Lu said before, "The Battle for Antarctica" is one of the two best works written by Zweig in "When Humanity's Stars Shine". Although it was deleted in the domestic textbooks, it became a great tragedy and completely changed its original meaning. The other one is "Overnight Genius"!
