With the announcement of the organizational plan of the New Literary League, the literary conference set off a real climax.
Those who came to attend the literary conference would never have imagined that the climax of this conference would actually occur in the last few days.
But while many people were competing for the titles of deputy leader, director, deputy secretary-general, and president and vice-president of the research association, Lin Daguanren, who was at the center of the storm, entered a period of psychological burnout.
This is normal. Human nerves cannot remain excited forever. After completing high-intensity operations, it is easy to feel tired.
In the past ten days, Lin Daguan had been in a highly stressful working state. Not only did he have to devote a lot of energy to socializing, but he also had to constantly receive and analyze a large amount of information.
When I arrived at the main meeting of the Humble Administrator's Garden, I had to do it myself, which consumed a lot of energy bars.
So after the main meeting, when he returned to the Lin Mansion from the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lin Tailai called over the three new recruits, Gu Bingqian, Qian Shiyang, and Zhou Daodeng.
He also ordered: "In the next five days, you are responsible for drawing up a list of positions in the New Literary and Art League and then handing it over to me."
The three new diners looked confused. Can they, the diners, do such a crucial job?
In order to compete for positions, the literati outside have to follow Lin's example and use martial arts to enter Taoism!
And Lin Zuotuan asked three of their new disciples to be responsible for drafting such an important list?
The three of them are all unknown people who have become servants of the Lin Mansion. Are they worthy?
Lin Tailai yawned and said, "This list is not as important as you think, as long as the first deputy leader is me."
This was a major event in the literary world, and the three of them did not dare to mess around. They asked together: "Who exactly should I write about? Please give me specific instructions from the proprietor."
Lin Tailai said impatiently: "If I have to make every detail, what else do you, the disciples, do?"
After thinking about it, he gave some instructions: "I won't mention the specific names, but I will give you a few standards.
In principle, the deputy leader must have national or cross-regional reputation, or be a leading figure in the four key places of Shandong, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zuo.
The directors choose those local celebrities who are well-known and can have appeal within the province or several counties.
Feng Shike is appointed as the general secretary-general. In principle, the deputy secretary-general should choose someone who is enthusiastic about literary affairs, has great mobility, and has a wealthy family.
It doesn’t matter who the president or vice-president of each research association is, it’s up to you to choose!
All in all, I trust you when you hire people!"
The three people looked at each other. They had never gained such huge "power" in their lives. It seemed that deleting or adding a name could determine the rise or fall of a famous person's reputation.
Something called "the grace of knowing someone" suddenly grew in my heart.
"Go, go! Don't disturb my rest!" After Lin Tailai finished explaining, he asked the three of them to leave.
Standing in the vestibule of the middle courtyard of Lin Mansion, Gu Bingqian suddenly said: "I understand! This is a test for us from the proprietor!
If you can't even do this little thing well in the eyes of the proprietor, it will be difficult for you to take on a big job in the future."
Qian Shiyang and Zhou Daodeng believed this, otherwise they would not be able to explain why Lin Zuiguan entrusted them with such a special task.
There were still some words that Gu Bingqian didn't say. He felt that Lin's behavior was like a lazy emperor who threw all the trivial government affairs to the cabinet.
Perhaps Lin Zuiguan believes that the literati around him all have selfish motives related to their own interests, and only the three of them have no selfish motives for the New Literary and Art League?
Lin Tailai distributed the trivial matters and was just about to return to the inner courtyard to rest when he heard the report that Teacher Zhang Youyu Zhang was here.
However, due to the appearance of "respecting teachers and respecting morality", Lin Daguan could only brace up and meet Teacher Zhang.
Zhang Youyu, who was wearing a big-headed doll mask, entered the study and sat directly on the threshold. Don't ask why, ask just the personality of a celebrity.
"Good disciple! Now the literary world belongs to our master and disciple! As the number one celebrity in Suzhou City and your teacher, I think I should be a deputy leader." Zhang Youyu said.
Senior official Lin said in a difficult position: "The deputy alliance mainly represents the local image. Teacher, your image is not good."
Zhang Youyu took off the big-headed doll mask, looked down at the colorful dress on his body, and then at the straw sandals with his toes exposed, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with my image? Why can't it work?"
Mr. Lin: ""
If Teacher Zhang hadn’t had a student named Lin Tailai, he would have been beaten to death long ago!
After thinking about it, Lin Daguan could only say: "But there is someone else in front of the teacher who is more suitable to be the deputy leader than you."
Zhang Youyu stood up and said fiercely: "Who is it? Wang Laodeng?
At that time, Wang Laodeng relied on the support of the Wen family to suppress me. Could it be that you also support Wang Laodeng?"
Unable to reason with the crazy Teacher Zhang, Lin Daguan quickly diverted the trouble, "Teacher, have you forgotten your brother Zhang Fengyi? According to the order of brothers, your brother must have priority!"
Zhang Youyu turned around and left after hearing this, and left without even saying hello.
Official Lin breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to leave the study when he saw Gao Changjiang standing furtively outside the door.
"You'd better have something serious to do." Lin Tailai said.
Gao Changjiang took a few steps forward and said cautiously: "I have followed Zuoguan for many years, and I have both merit and hard work.
I think I should have a place on the board of directors of the New Literary and Art League this time.”
Lin Daguan was so angry, "Old Gao, Lao Gao, when did you have this hallucination and feel that you are a literary figure?"
Although there are probably dozens of director positions, which seems to be "universally beneficial", when you think about how many provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties there are in the world, you don't think that dozens are too many.
Therefore, those who can serve as directors, that is, those who can sit in the big tent at the main meeting, are at least second- and third-rate celebrities with certain local influence and literary reputation.
So, do you, Gao Changjiang, have any literary reputation to speak of in the Suzhou literary world? Are you worthy of occupying a director position?
Gao Changjiang did not persist in his pursuit, but instead said: "I have another request. Now that there are more and more writers writing novels, I think it is necessary to set up a research group on story-telling novels in the New Literary League."
"Is this necessary?" Lin Tailai said disapprovingly.
Gao Changjiang said again: "Sit here, if you don't master the academic knowledge of Huaben novels, it is inevitable that someone will use Huaben novels to blackmail you in the future!
If you think about the images of Master Pan and Master Pang, you will know that story-telling novels play an important role in public opinion!"
Hearing this, Lin Daguan suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
I have made so many enemies, and my style of doing things is often like that of a villain. I am full of legend, and these are all natural materials for novels!
Don’t be mistaken for being a traitor in a story novel. Thinking of this, Mr. Lin immediately expressed his stance:
??????55.??????
"You are right, the academic research on story-telling novels is very important, and a research group on story-telling novels should indeed be established in the New Literary League!"
Gao Changjiang further said: "In order to control the discourse power of the story novels, it is not too much for me, a politically reliable and academically professional person, to be the president, right?"
"It's not too much." Lin Daguan nodded and said.
Gao Changjiang pressed forward and said: "Then since I have become the president of a research association, is it not too much to match a director of the New Literary and Art League?"
After making a big circle, we are back to where we started.
Lin Tailai, who was tired, was too lazy to think about it and said casually: "In order to promote positive energy in the theme of the story novel, that's fine."
As a horse rider, Gao Changjiang has finally made progress and knows how to deliver words in a roundabout way.
In the past, I would have insisted on the benefits.
After sending Gao Changjiang away, Lin Daguan could finally go back to the inner courtyard to sleep.
The next day, when Senior Official Lin opened his eyes, he heard a report saying that Zhang Fengyi and Wen Yuanfa were already waiting outside.
Official Lin went out to meet the guests. Seeing the tired look on Zhang Fengyi's face, he chuckled and said, "It seems that Mr. Lingxu was troubled by his younger brother, Teacher Youyu, last night?"
Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to complain, and just said: "It's my duty to help you take care of your worries. When I came here today, I actually have another matter to ask for advice on."
Official Lin said in surprise: "What else can happen? Do you still want to be the leader of the alliance?"
"No, no!" Zhang Fengyi quickly replied: "I heard from Gao Changjiang that a new research group could be added, so I thought about adding a calligraphy and painting research group."
As the largest trader in Suzhou's calligraphy and painting market, it is normal for Zhang Fengyi to have this idea.
Previously, no one had thought of adding new research groups, especially within their own professional fields, but Gao Changjiang took the initiative, and Zhang Fengyi wanted to follow suit.
We have had good cooperation over the years, and Mr. Lin doesn't mind giving Zhang Fengyi face on this issue.
"That's okay. Do you want to be the president?" Lin Tailai agreed.
Zhang Fengyi smiled "hehe" and said nothing.
Being the largest calligraphy and painting dealer and the president of the calligraphy and painting research association, it is a lot of fun.
At this time, Wen Yuanfa, the head of the Wen family next to him, suddenly interjected: "If there is a calligraphy and painting research association, I would also be willing to contribute as the president."
Originally Wen Yuanfa came here for other reasons, but when he heard Zhang Fengyi proposed setting up a calligraphy and painting research group, he couldn't help but want to grab it.
