Rebirth 2004: A lone figure in the literary world

Chapter 63 was stuck by Zhang Chao!
There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. The admissions team of Yanda University soon learned about Yanshi University's move. They also did not expect that Yu Hua would be willing to be a professor at Yanshi University and teach a class.

Logically speaking, this kind of great writer is used to living a carefree life and is not willing to attend meetings of the Writers Association. He does not like to take on management responsibilities. Who knows what is wrong with Yu Hua?

Cao Wenxuan blamed Kong Qingdong for being careless and underestimating the enemy, and quickly called Changfu No. 3 Middle School to ask them to inform Zhang Chao and his parents - "Stay calm!" "Don't act rashly!"

The next day, Cao Wenxuan appeared in the small conference room of Changfu No. 3 Middle School, and he brought a special visitor with him.

The most feared thing in the world is "competition". No matter how famous Zhang Chao was, he would not have been so popular that two top universities in China would fight for him.

However, the previous competition with universities in Hong Kong Island raised the issue to the level of which talent training system was superior or inferior. Yanda had to come up with a solution with the sense of responsibility and wisdom of being a domestic professional leader.

As a result, the current behavior of Yanshi University is simply riding on the head of Yanda University. You know, the history of universities, especially top universities, competing with each other can easily be calculated over decades or even hundreds of years.

Both Yenching University and Yenching Normal University originated from the Imperial University of Peking, and in history they have experienced many transfers and mergers of their majors, so there are many differences in the writing of school history.

Originally, these were just verbal disputes, but Yanshi University’s interception this time really made Yanshi University angry - I can lose to anyone but not to Yanshi University!
After meeting Zhang Chao, Cao Wenxuan's first words were: "Yan Da and Yanshi Da, there is only one word difference, but there is a hundred years of difference in foundation. Don't be fooled by them!"

Zhang Chao hurriedly said, "Professor Cao, don't worry, I haven't agreed to Yanshi University yet."

"I'm not anxious. I'm just worried that you're young and might get impulsive when you see the word 'graduate student'." Cao Wenxuan then explained Yanda's policy to Zhang Chao.

This time, Yanda University also continued its historical practice and cooperated with Luyuan to recruit students. However, students do not need to be students of the Advanced Seminar for Young and Middle-aged Writers, as long as they are students of Luyuan's "Literary Creation Correspondence Course".

But there are three thresholds:

1. The applicant must have published at least one monograph or collection of works, or at least two works in provincial or higher journals, and the applicant must have passed expert review and be deemed that his/her literary creation has reached a high level.

2. Able to pass the cultural examinations held by Luyuan and the interviews with experts.

3. Under 24 years old.

This is almost tailor-made for Zhang Chao. Writers under the age of 24 who can meet the above conditions are rare.

Zhang Chao asked in confusion: "Isn't this a carrot pit..."

Cao Wenxuan pointed at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "This is Vice President Zou who is in charge of this area of ​​work in Luyuan. Guangming, talk to him."

Zou Guangming is over 24 years old, but he has maintained himself very well and looks less than 24 years old. He looks gentle and refined. He explained slowly: "The -year-old age limit is not set by us specifically for you, but it was the policy at the beginning - you cannot take the college entrance examination after you are years old. If you cannot take the college entrance examination, you naturally cannot become a college student.

Only candidates who are over the age limit due to special circumstances can apply for exemption from the restriction. There are no such candidates now.

The 24-year-old age limit for college entrance examinations was not lifted until 2001. However, the policy document used in the re-opening of the "Writers' Class" was issued in 1984, which still contains this regulation.

We have also studied whether to follow the current policy or the old document, and finally decided that it is safer to follow the old document. "

Zhang Chao wanted to give a thumbs up after listening to this. These people are really good at navigating the gaps in the system and can find reasonable explanations for everything.

Cao Wenxuan continued, "I know that the title of 'graduate student' is very tempting. But the 'graduate writers class' of Yanshi University this time are all selected from the advanced research class of young and middle-aged writers of Luyuan. These people are all submitted by provincial writers' associations, as well as provincial units such as the military newspaper and the Corps.

The youngest one was probably at least 30 years old, and some were even over 40. When Yu Hua entered school in 88, he was almost the youngest among them, at 28 years old.

You are not even 20 years old. Can you feel comfortable living and studying with a group of uncles in their 30s and 40s every day?

When you come to our Yanda, you are joining the undergraduate class and studying with them. Only a few creative professional courses are taken individually. They are all your peers. Only by coming to Yanda can you have a real and complete university life! "

Zhang Chao was immediately moved by Cao Wenxuan's last sentence! As expected of a great writer of fairy tales and youth literature, he really grasped Zhang Chao's psychology.

Because Zhang Chao's psychological age is 40, his desire to revisit his youth is particularly strong. Although Cao Wenxuan did not know this section, his words are very lethal to any young people with literary and artistic feelings!

Just when Zhang Chao was about to agree, Director Zhou of the office suddenly knocked on the door and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry to bother you. I just received a call from the admissions teacher of Yanshi University, saying that Professor Yu Hua's flight was delayed and he was still in Fuhai. He rushed over immediately and asked Zhang Chao not to worry... So..."

Cao Wenxuan was furious and cursed: "Is there any work discipline here? Why can't anyone control their mouths?"

"Oh, Lao Cao, be patient. Yan Normal University is also eager to recruit talents." Zou Guangming advised.

"I don't care, there must be a result today!" Cao Wenxuan was really angry.

Zou Guangming said, "That would mean Hua and the others would have to come. You adults are competing with each other, and it would be bad for Xiao Zhang to be caught in the middle."

Zhang Chao nodded gratefully to Zou Guangming.

Soon after, Yu Hua brought the admissions teacher from Yanshi University to No. 3 Middle School. The two sides started a closed-door meeting, and even Zhang Chao himself was not allowed to be present.

The representatives of the two top universities started a long war of words in the small conference room, which was so intense that even the main idea was obliterated...

Finally, Zou Guangming couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the table: "I have a plan, do you want to listen to it?"

Yu Hua and Cao Wenxuan both kept their mouths shut.

Zou Guangming said: "Zhang Chao's situation is very special. He is the only one among all the students in Lu Academy who meets the requirements of both the undergraduate 'writer class' and the 'writer graduate class'. So why not just 'kill two birds with one stone'?"

"What does 'killing two birds with one stone' mean? Could it be..." Yu Hua asked first.

Zou Guangming explained: "Just let him enroll in both the Yanda 'Writers Class' and Yanshida 'Writers Graduate Class' at the same time. You can arrange the classes so that they are staggered."

Zou Guangming's words were like a thunderbolt, splitting the brains of everyone present - what the hell, can it be done this way! ?

But thinking about it carefully, Zhang Chao seemed to have encountered a bug. This bug belonged to him alone...

Cao Wenxuan asked: "So which school is he from?"

Zou Guangming said, "What school? Lao Cao, you are confused. He is a student of our Lu Academy! No matter which class he is in, doesn't he have to enroll in our Lu Academy first, and then be sent to your two schools for training?"

Cao Wenxuan quickly asked: "Will the higher-ups agree to this?"

Zou Guangming replied: "Did they say they didn't agree? Which policy document does this violate?"

Cao Wenxuan: “…”

Yu Hua: "..."

Zhang Chao heard the news not long after: "..."
