From the end of the long table to the seat, all eyes meet on the person at the door; this figure, which was blurred by the sun, became the point of sight of the entire venue.

Wang Zi looked up and looked over Tian Zhenlei and Ji Shaofei, Duan Xiaosang with his eyes playing, Gu Zao staring at him thinking, Xiao Mengyin with a complicated face, and Zhong Junmin with his eyes closed to rest, and went straight to Shi Tonghe.

The two of them touched each other, and Shi Tonghe gave him a smile that was not as good as a smile.

A little ugly.

An Younan analyzed it through a joint analysis that Wang Zixu finally stood here smoothly, which made her face a little hot.

An Younan has been smart since childhood, and she can't guess the thoughts of only two kinds of people: one is a fool and the other is a cruel person.

Seeing Wang Zixu appear at the door, she couldn't tell whether he was stupid or cruel enough.

He is undoubtedly stupid enough. If he is not stupid, he should know that there is a tiger in the mountain and should not walk towards Tiger Mountain.

But he was also cruel enough. If he wasn't cruel, he wouldn't have had such a terrible relationship with Shi Tonghe, just for his boring ideals and self-esteem.

He is not like a dog, cannot be adopted, nor is he like a tiger, and can sit alone in the mountains. He is like a wolf.

He was like a lonely wolf with hair loss, moving cautiously and finely, and kept walking towards the target.

Shen Qingfeng raised his legs, stared at Wang Zixu with a narrow expression, and took the lead in speaking out:

"Prince Xu, why did you come? You can check out such an important occasion. It seems that you don't care much about this seminar."

I haven't seen each other for a long time, this guy is still so annoying.

"Vice President Shen, you actually came to the venue early. You care too much about me, right?"

Everyone burst into laughter. Only Shen Qingfeng looked at him in another place, feeling that this kid was a little different.

A man smiled and greeted at the long table: "Come here, your seat is here."

He pointed at the last chair at the end of the long table.

Wang Zixu looked at the chair and stood straight opposite Shi Tonghe. He wanted to draw a Chuhe River and Han Realm on the table, and he could fly over and eat himself.

“Shouldn’t I be in the seat?”

The man on the long table looked kind and said, "Old Shi has high expectations for you. He specifically asked them to bring your seat over for convenience of guidance."

Wang Zixu sat down on the chair, and his eyes looked forward. The experts and scholars sat in two neat rows, extending to the Shitong River at the end of their sight, with a strong sense of oppression.

On the table, almost everyone stared at themselves. This was not like a seminar, but like a trial.

"Ahem."

Sitting at the last position, Xiao Mengyin, not far from Wang Zixu, coughed gently twice, moved his arm and touched the pen on the table to the ground. She bent down to pick it up, and after she lifted her back, Wang Zixu saw that there was a piece of paper on the ground.

Shi Tonghe spoke: "Since everyone has arrived and the time has come, let's start now. Please editor-in-chief Li Minyang and give an opening remark."

Li Minyang cleared his throat and said, "First of all, thank you very much. All colleagues are here to visit this seminar..."

Xiao Mengyin put her hand beside her mouth, and the legs below the table slowly moved. She stepped on the piece of paper with her feet and slowly pushed it to Wang Zixu's feet. With the cover of Li Minyang's voice, her movements were not exposed.

Wang Zixu didn't know what Xiao Mengyin was doing. He glanced at her and met her eyes. Xiao Mengyin tapped the table with his index finger. Seeing that Wang Zixu didn't respond, he kicked him with his toes.

Wang Zixu had no choice but to bend over, crumple her paper into a lump, and pick it up from the ground.

Put it on the table and gently expand it to see that there is only one line of words written on the paper:

"Control your emotions!"

The exclamation mark at the end of this sentence was thickened hard with a pen and repeated on the outline, which looked extremely dazzling.

He looked back at her, and she immediately looked away and stared at her seminar materials with concentration.

Wang Zixu knew what she meant.

Xiao Mengyin didn't ask him to think about how to refute, nor did he mention being mentally prepared, but only said that he should control his emotions.

Because the results discussed at this seminar will inevitably put a brand on "Stone Fire", which will accompany this work for life.

But the work is just a work. For readers who are not clear about it, it is just a new author who writes a novel that is not favored - isn't this taken for granted?

Therefore, he must control his emotions.

He still has a chance. If he can't control his emotions well, he will have no chance at all.

Shi Tonghe specially set his seat here to make him unable to control his emotions and to see his defeat.

If he couldn't help but rise up, he would be in the mood to the bottom of Shi Tonghe.

Wang Zixu raised his head, Li Minyang just finished speaking, and Shi Tonghe took over the conversation:

"Teacher Li Minyang just said that today we are witnessing the rise of the flame of "Stone Fire", but we must also realize that the seminar is not a place for research instead of publicity.

"Our discussions cannot be a kind or a singular group, only speaking good words, and not daring to offend people. As night watchmen of literature, we must always hold high the holy fire that inherits the literary tradition and use collective wisdom to delineate the burning trajectory of the reckless Mars."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "That is, you can't let this fire burn."

After a pause, Shi Tonghe said again: "I hope that everyone here can embellish the younger generations in the spring and autumn style, and not only preserve the courage of literature, but also maintain the standard of literature's awe."

After Shi Tonghe said this, several people frowned in the venue.

At first glance, what he said seemed to be clichés, but when he thought about it carefully, it was extraordinary, and every sentence had subtext.

The seminar has not been held yet, so I said that the seminar is not a place to promote research instead of publicity.

Which of the current seminars is not intended to promote?

Even Shi Tonghe’s son’s seminar was held to promote the works.

Later, he said, "Don't be afraid of offending others", that means not be afraid of offending Wang Zixu; "define the trajectory for the reckless flame", that means that the flame has been burned in a crooked manner; "carve the younger generation in the spring and autumn style", that means that the curse and criticize them with confidence.

In short, after saying so much, the attitude of "this work should be criticized mercilessly" has been revealed, and every sentence is about getting a vaccination.

Having said that, even those who don’t understand the dispute between the two have tasted the undercurrents in this seminar.

Shi Tonghe continued: "Now, the first part is to introduce the work."

After saying that, he put down the materials in his hand and looked up and said, "Since this work is relatively long, we can just ask a representative to introduce it, and everyone doesn't need to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mengyin immediately raised his hand and said, "Teacher Shi, I'll do it."

Shi Tonghe looked up at her: "Do you have any thoughts?"

Xiao Mengyin whispered: "I, I have written my speech and don't want to waste it."

There is no need to explain the specific analysis of the introduction of the work, just take the plot out, which avoids directly criticizing the work itself.

Xiao Mengyin had a headache about how to "criticize freely" later. Now that I speak, I don't have to speak later.

Shi Tonghe was about to speak, but Gu Zao raised his hand and said:

"Teacher Shi, I'll do this part. I read the work more carefully and I've been all night last night."

Shi Tonghe nodded: "Then let Gu Zao come."

Xiao Mengyin glared at Gu Zao, full of resentment.

Gu Zao picked up his speech and said aloud:

"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point. This book takes 1913 to 2013 as a time span, focusing on the fate entanglement between the Liu family and the Zhou family in East China. From the fight and blood feud at the end of the Boxer Rebellion to the commercial wave after the reform and opening up, the two major families have experienced betrayal, redemption and forgetting in the century-long drastic changes...

"The author uses the metaphor of 'Mars bursting out of stone' to embed individual destiny into national epics. Through the struggle between the patriarchal system, revolutionary belief and capital logic of five generations, we explore how historical violence tempers the resilience and the possibility of reconciliation of human nature...

"The work reconstructs folk memory with multi-line narratives, and has a very ingenious textualization of historical details. Some chapters show amazing narrative density..."

As Gu Zao spoke, Shi Tonghe's expression was becoming more and more wonderful.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!

Wang Zhongxing looked at him several times, as if waiting for him to interrupt, but Shi Tonghe did not speak out in the end.

Gu Zao's speech was different from what he thought. He thought that this young writer should be smart and hear the subtle meaning of Shi Tonghe's words.

He was also appointed by Shi Tonghe to give this opening remark. However, after his introduction, he seemed to have a high evaluation of "The Fire of Shi".

The opening was wrong and did not match Mr. Shi's intentions, so Wang Zhongxing frequently looked at Shi Tonghe.

The Shitong River remains as motionless as a mountain.

Gu Zao continued:

"Wang Zixu is a young new author. When new authors control grand historical subjects, they often deal with immature dedication.

"For example, this book has problems such as stereotypes of secondary characters and some turning points rely on coincidences.

"But we need to note that these problems do not conceal their merits, and even if they exist, they are not serious, because their advantages are enough to cover up their shortcomings.

"In any case, this subject and structure are extremely difficult and challenging. It is a writing method that no one has ever challenged in the history of literature in our country, or even in the history of human literature. It should be affirmed by the author's ambitions..."

"Enough." Shi Tonghe suddenly interrupted Gu Zao, "Now is the introduction link. Your personal appreciation can be discussed later."

Gu Zao put down the material expressionlessly: "I'm done."

Shi Tonghe picked up a celadon tea cup, and the green liquid rippled. He blew twice, took a sip, and spit out the tea leaves. No one spoke in the field, and he could only hear the sound from Shi Tonghe's lips.

Gu Zao's speech was heard by those who didn't know the inside story, and there was nothing special about it, but in Wang Zhongxing's ears, he was simply facing him.

Before the seminar, the article "A Short Comment on the Chinese Version of "A Hundred Years of Solitude" written by Wang Zhongxing had long been included in Wang Zixu's age and qualifications, and it demoted "Stone Fire" thoroughly.

In Gu Zao's speech, he also said, "Wang Zixu is a new writer." He also repeated the questions pointed out by Wang Zhongxing, but then he changed the subject and made a judgment that "the flaws do not hide the merits."
To be continued...
