"Didn't I introduce you to Lao Wu from the History Department? Have you studied with him recently?"

"Here, the poor bones by the Wuding River are like people in a boudoir's dream. The story is well written, but the cruelty of the war is not fully revealed..."

…

Ding Wei listened honestly, her eyes following Lao Wang's pen on the paper without any distraction.

Lao Wang talked a lot, his mouth was dry and he took a drink of water, and then asked:

"Do you think my demands are too much?"

"No no."

Ding Wei quickly shook her head.

To be honest, it is actually very easy to clearly perceive whether the school teachers are cultivating me with good intentions or torturing me with malicious intentions.

As long as you don't have any bias, you can basically make a guess.

Lao Wang has been putting pressure on her from the beginning. Is it because he is bored and wants to make things difficult for the students?

If they are not studying the unpopular Chinese department, but the hot finance department, which student would not be happy to be favored by the professor?

Ding Wei said sincerely: "I know the professor is giving me guidance."

…

"Um."

Lao Wang was also happy that the little girl was so knowledgeable. Now he narrowed his eyes slightly and felt quite proud. He couldn't help but reveal his true feelings:

"As for you, I heard from you that you planned to treat writing as a lifelong career."

"I've read the story you wrote. It's very good and interesting."

Lao Wang’s compliment was sincere. If it wasn’t so interesting, why would the magazine keep giving high prices?

But as a teacher, he cannot let his students be satisfied with this.

…

"But times are developing, and so are your thoughts."

"If your writing style keeps like this, I'm afraid you will get tired of it one day."

Ding Wei opened her eyes wide, a little confused.

Lao Wang sighed.

"I've actually read all of your novels. I don't mean that your writing is not good or that your writing style is childish."

"Actually, considering your current age, the core of your story is very mature."

"But this maturity has not accumulated enough foundation."

"The framework of your story seems huge, but in fact it doesn't have enough flesh and bones to support it."

Lao Wang analyzed seriously:

"Ding Wei, you are twenty years old. It can be said that you are mature and leading the trend of the times by writing such an article."

"At thirty years old, you are still at the top of your industry. You may have even earned a lot of money, so you have no worries about the future."

"At forty, you may be famous throughout the country."

"What about fifty?"

Does life just stop here?

…

In fact, Lao Wang also loves and cherishes talents.

Times are advancing. It used to be that everyone chose different majors because of their hobbies.

But now, what everyone values ​​​​is the prospect.

The Chinese Department is an adjustable major at the University of Minnesota. Every year, many students choose to adjust because they are afraid of not being admitted, and in the end they are not assigned to this unpopular major.

On this point, he has quite a lot in common with Lao Wu from the history department.

Nowadays, when I see a serious student engaged in literature, I can’t help but want to give him more advice.

…

Lao Wang’s words were serious and thoughtful.

"When you are fifty, you will either find other hobbies and stop writing. Or, your story will remain the same."

He sighed.

"I know you might say that as you grow older, you also make progress."

"But Ding Wei, I have to tell you, judging from your papers in the past six months, you still haven't made up for what you lack."

Looking at Ding Wei's slightly confused eyes, Lao Wang sighed again.

…

"Actually, this is also my personal opinion."

"I'm already old, so maybe I don't know enough about your hobbies today. What I'm talking about is the basic key points of traditional literature."

His expression suddenly looked a little sentimental.

"Old Wang, I have never written a story except serious articles in my life. Maybe some of my ideas are really backward and will make people laugh."

"As for you, just listen selectively. If you think it makes sense, let's analyze it and make progress in this direction."

"If you think you don't agree with it, you can go back and write a report. We still have to analyze it."

Ding Wei:……

What is the analysis? Everyone must agree.

She quickly shook her head.

"No, no, no, professor, what you said makes perfect sense. All my progress over the past six months has come from your guidance."

This is not to avoid giving a report, but to express my true inner thoughts.

She already understood what Lao Wang meant.

——The improvement he was talking about was not that he expected Ding Wei to win a Nobel Prize or something in the future. He was hoping that she would have a mature enough worldview and a rigorous enough framework.

Perhaps for online literature, these are dispensable and are ranked behind storytelling and rhythm.

But for a person who really writes articles, this is the most basic quality she needs to possess.

Ding Wei has enough experience, and the themes of the novels she has read can become the focus of her current thinking.

But she really didn't know much about history and literature in her previous life.

This aspect is really weak.

Now that I can achieve this, I can only say that my talent is here, and God will reward me with food.

Nowadays, there is nothing that cannot be admitted.

…

When she said this, Lao Wang was also very pleased.

Even if the teacher has good intentions, the students must agree with it before it is truly good.

Moreover, Ding Wei is a well-behaved child. She does not become complacent because of her achievements, but becomes more modest.

All assignments assigned were completed seriously.

Let me ask, which teacher doesn’t like such students?

He smiled and said, "You, just don't think I'm too long-winded and have too much homework."

Ding Wei:……

It was difficult to hold back the word "disgust".

Nothing else, I just want to cry out, there is really too much homework!

qaq

…

However, Lao Wang couldn't help but be attracted by her modest attitude, which made her talk more and more.

"When you have nothing to do, take courses related to your major. Non-majors can also accumulate more knowledge. It will not be harmful to your writing path, but will increase the professionalism of your articles."

"I think that a good book, in addition to making people feel good-looking, can really guide people to move in a better direction. This is the ultimate destiny, right?"

He sighed.

"Even if someone reads one of your books and feels something, and picks up the litter on the road, this is a good guide."

"This is also the fate of all literary works."
