At this time, on the second floor of Fangshu Building, the seniors in Nanjing Forum were actually still the same people. Two years was not enough time to change the dynasty, and Qin Dewei already knew most of them.
It turns out that Qin Dewei was not qualified to regard these people as seniors, but now that he is a scholar, he is qualified to regard these people as seniors.
Qin Dewei saw several "old acquaintances" such as Gu Lin, Luo Feng, Xu Long, and two others whom he had never met before and didn't recognize.
Xu Juyun, a relative of the Duke of Wei, temporarily took over the host's place to entertain the guests. Now is the time for small talk. It is estimated that the Duke of Wei will come over when the banquet begins.
The seniors also saw Qin Dewei coming up and the fifth girl behind him
This is too arrogant. It's not time for the banquet yet, and everyone is chatting in a tacit understanding. You, a primary school student, came here with a group of girls. Are you going to show off by relying on numbers and pressure today?
Qin Dewei could only lament that this is how business distorts traditional rules.
In fact, the mentality of the seniors regarding Qin Dewei is very complicated. This lady does not give the seniors any face, has no respect for the elderly at all, is maverick and arrogant, and does not accept recruitment from the local mainstream!
But this guy is so talented, he is also good at showing off, and his work is extremely popular. When everyone communicates with colleagues from other places, he is also very good at Nanjing circles, and he has become a signature figure who must be mentioned.
Moreover, in the past seventy or eighty years, since the time of Wu Kuan, the number one scholar in Suzhou, Nanjing has suppressed Suzhou in poetry for the first time.
So much so that there has been a hot debate in the two places. If the primary school students were born decades earlier and were at the same time as the Four Talents in Wuzhong, that is, the Four Talents in Jiangnan, could they suppress the Four Talents?
It can make people think of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, which is already very illustrative of the problem.
Mr. Wang Yijing and Mr. Gu, the leader of the alliance, did know each other. They were of the same generation. They were juniors when they were studying in Shangyuan County. The two had not seen each other for many years, so they started chatting.
Most of the people on the second floor are old men. Qin Dewei and Qin Dewei have nothing in common. How can they talk about how many teeth they have lost, how many patches of hair they have lost, and how many grandchildren they have given birth to?
When he was bored, he saw a young man next to the hermit Xu Long. He was Xu Long's son, and his name seemed to be Xu Gu. He had passed the exam with Zeng's father last year, and then went to Beijing to take the exam.
So he casually said, "Isn't this Mr. Xiao Xu? Why did you come back from the capital? It seems that you failed the exam and didn't get the Jinshi? I heard that Mr. Xiao Xie who went with you got the exam?"
Xu Gu: ""
Why do you, a rookie scholar, dare to speak in a mocking tone to the Master of Juren?
Alas, such a young man couldn't make any sense. Qin Dewei stood by the window and looked out melancholy.
Downstairs by the lake, the scholars from the two counties had already begun to compete. Some were shaking their heads and chanting, while others were bowing their heads and writing furiously.
According to the old rules, the finalized works will be sent to the chairman on the second floor for review. The old leader will lead everyone to comment together, and then select a few excellent works and post them outside for people to enjoy.
The Five Phoenix Chaoyang group surrounded Qin Dewei and said worriedly: "Mr. Qin, you have to stand up, this won't work."
Originally, Qin Dewei didn't care if he just wanted to do something. Whether he wanted to do something or not depended on his mood. He had already established his position in Nanjing's poetry circle and didn't care about the opportunity to show his face at all.
But this time, he was pushed by an invisible hand and had to forcefully pretend. Thinking of this, Qin Dewei felt tired of pretending for the first time.
The fifth girl who replaced Wang Lianqing, the goods in the fifth girl's hands, the special banknotes in her arms, and the young boss of Taibai Tower dancing downstairs
Qin Dewei couldn't help but secretly lamented that people should not be overly commercialized, as it would make people lose their free mind and become a slave to material things.
I won’t do it anymore! It’s better to just let nature take its course and be more original when it comes to showing off. You’ll have real fun if you don’t forget your original intention!
The fifth girl urged again: "Should we go down?"
Qin Dewei nodded, it was not a mass market and it was not suitable for him today.
Taking advantage of Teacher Wang not paying attention to him at the moment, he dragged his heavy footsteps and was about to slip away. Respecting the teacher was temporarily out of mind. There was no other way, the old tradition had to give way to the business spirit for the time being.
But someone had been paying attention to Qin Dewei from the corner of his eye. Mr. Gu Dongqiao, the leader of Nanjing Tan League, immediately waved his hand and said: "Little Qin, wait a minute!"
Oh? Qin Dewei turned his head and looked back in surprise. This old man Gu has always avoided or ignored him. Is he a bad guy today?
Gu Lin then spoke again: "I just said a few words to Brother Yunchi, and everyone here has unanimously agreed that you will be the main commentator today!"
Qin Dewei was stunned, what are these old men thinking! Although being the chief commentator is very high-level and is a symbol of status in the industry, but this is the behind-the-scenes work!
The public outside will only look at who wins the first prize today and who is in the top five. The more names appear, they will naturally gradually become celebrities. How can they care about who is behind the scenes making comments and comments?
Therefore, whenever there are competitions and rankings, the people in charge of the selection are all accomplished seniors, and there is no need to go out in person to participate in the competition.
The old-timers only need to do some social entertainment at the second banquet and during the word game!
"You are born late, no matter how good you are, you are not worthy to be among them!" Qin Dewei thought clearly and quickly declined!
The old alliance leader Gu was still pestering him: "What the hell! The reviewers always take turns. Little Qin is highly respected in the Jinling poetry circle, so it's your turn to be the reviewer!"
Qin Dewei quickly looked at Mr. Wang Yijing and made excuses and said: "The teacher is still here, how dare the students come up!"
Teacher Wang waved his hand: "I'm not good at poetry. Rather than being out of place, it's better to leave. You don't have to be restrained."
The rest of the seniors cheered together: "Dongqiao is right. My friend Qin is highly respected and it's time for him to take his turn as the commentator!"
You are talented and highly respected, and your whole family is highly respected! Qin Dewei is very angry. Today I have a lot of business cooperation, how can I be behind the scenes?
Gu Lao, the leader of the alliance, pointed at the crowd and said, "Look, little friends, this is the place where everyone in Jinling Altar is waiting."
Qin Dewei looked around at everyone in silence, "What are you expecting? Suddenly he saw a figure sneaking down the stairs!"
It’s you, Wang Fengyuan!
Qin Dewei suddenly realized that this was the conspiracy of Gu Lin and Wang Fengyuan's master and apprentice!
Having trapped himself on the second floor as the chief commentator, Wang Fengyuan went down to compete. Wouldn't he just kill it and win the first place in this gathering? By the way, he could also lead Shangyuan County School to beat Jiangning County School again!
And don’t think that being the main commentator gives you the final say. With so many seniors here, the comments tend to be collective, and the main commentator is more like a host!
It is impossible to reject Wang Fengyuan with one vote.
How careless, how careless! After becoming famous, I actually completely lost my alertness!
All the seniors shouted together: "Please take a seat, Lord!"
Others have given him such a big favor. Unless he wants to completely fall out with the entire Nanjing community, Qin Dewei has to sit down.
Just don’t regret it, seniors, let me see the power of capital.
