1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 185 Everyone is shocked!
July 4th.

Ministry of Education, Higher Education Department Conference Room.

The seats in the conference room were packed with people, all wearing well-fitting Mao suits and sitting upright.

These people are presidents, leaders and other figures from major universities in Beijing. Senior leaders from the Ministry of Education also attended the meeting.

The person speaking at the front was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and an elegant temperament.

But if you take a closer look, you can feel the heavy atmosphere that captivates you.

He didn't have a microphone in his hand, but his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

"The agenda of this meeting regarding the exchange program for studying in Japan has come to an end for the time being. Please submit your student lists within two days after the meeting."

……

Director Fang from Beijing Normal University was also seated. He was holding a pen and writing down the leader's speech and the arrangements for the study abroad trip. Before the end of this month, the Ministry of Education will coordinate a series of arrangements for the overseas travel, identity documents, flights, etc. of the students studying abroad.

"These students are also lucky, Zhou Xi, Sun Shiyun, Zhao Ruixue..."

“You know, after the Buzz Buzz, although overseas study is still going on, the number is shockingly small, and only the most outstanding students or the most powerful families are eligible.

Now it is a good choice to go to Waseda University, a left-wing university, but the Japanese economy is developing too fast now..."

Director Fang held a pen in his hand, circled the names of these students, and pondered in his heart.

He was a little worried that these students might not be willing to come back. After all, the glamorous world abroad is not something a young man in his early twenties can resist.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and put it behind him. There is still a difference between exchange and studying abroad...

In front, the leader is still talking.

Director Fang raised his head and glanced around the conference room casually with his bloodshot eyes.

At the front of the meeting, he saw his old friend from Peking University, Director Yan Jiayan.

Then he remembered something.

At the end of last month, Professor Jiang Ting and Cheng Kaiyan approved a paper and submitted it to the Journal of Peking University.

I wonder what the specific status of this paper is now?

He was quite optimistic about this paper, otherwise he would not have asked them to submit it to Peking University Journal.

But after all, it was Cheng Kaiyan's first time writing, and even with Jiang Ting's help, Director Fang was still unsure.

Director Fang wouldn't believe it if you said he hadn't seen it.

Because the corresponding author of this paper is Jiang Ting, who gave a lecture at Peking University not long ago, I would definitely take a look at a paper signed by her.

An hour later, the meeting ended. Director Fang submitted the list of people to the staff and left the meeting room to look for someone.

In the corridor outside the meeting room, Director Fang saw them and called out, "Old Yan! Old Ji!"

"Lao Fang, what's the matter?"

Yan Jiayan was talking to Ji Zhenhuai. When he heard Director Fang's voice, he turned around and looked.

"I have something to ask you. Did Professor Jiang Ting from our school submit another paper to you some time ago? I came to ask about the situation. How come there is no news for so many days?"

Director Fang walked over quickly and asked with a smile.

"Professor Jiang Ting invested in it?"

Yan Jiayan frowned, then he remembered that Director Fang was referring to the children's literature paper written by Cheng Kaiyan and corresponding author Jiang Ting. "Are you talking about the children's literature paper? I read part of it and stopped reading it. It's still waiting for review."

After hearing what Yan Jiayan said, Director Fang's heart sank, and he was too embarrassed to ask any more questions.

After all, Lao Yan said that if you only read part of it and then stopped, there is a high probability that you did not pass.

As expected, Xiao Cheng's level is still not up to the level of Peking University Journal. He might as well submit to his own journal instead.

Thinking of this, Director Fang shook his head secretly.

Although I arranged the follow-up for Cheng Kaiyan, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Professor Ji Zhenhuai looked at Director Fang's expression. He saw that he was frowning and looked a little puzzled, but he was too embarrassed to ask any further questions.

Professor Ji Zhenhuai understood his thoughts and couldn't help laughing, "Old Fang, when did you become so impatient? Haha, Old Yan has an old habit of saying only half of what he wants to say."

"There's no point in being anxious. After all, your journal can't do anything if the level is not high enough. We can only ask Comrade Xiao Cheng to keep up the good work." Director Fang shook his head.

"Who said that my level is not good enough? Lao Fang, you are talking nonsense, I didn't say that.

I said it is awaiting review, and I quite appreciate this paper.

After all, I am not a professional researcher in children's literature theory and cannot be fully professional, so it is naturally meaningless for me to review it.

I even specially invited Professor Jiang Feng from Hangzhou University to review my paper. He just came yesterday!"

Yan Jiayan quickly explained.

"I see……"

Director Fang's hope of getting his thesis approved was rekindled. When he heard the name Jiang Feng, his eyes lit up. "Are you talking about Professor Jiang Feng who founded the Children's Literature Research Institute?"

"That's him! He's a pioneer in this field of research and his level is quite high.

Upon hearing the news, Professor Jiang hurried on his way and just arrived in BJ yesterday.

As soon as he arrived at my office, he started reading the paper.

I came here just for this paper, don't worry, your talented man's paper will definitely be passed if nothing goes wrong..."

Yan Jiayan was speechless at the end of his speech.

I thought to myself that Old Fang really treats Comrade Cheng Kaiyan as a treasure!

"Hahaha……"

Director Fang heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Yan Jiayan's confirmation, and a weight of relief fell from his heart.

Then he laughed and pulled the two of them downstairs.

"Come on, let's go to your Peking University to meet this expert in the field of children's literature! See what he thinks."

……

In the blink of an eye, the three of them took the bus back to Peking University and walked towards the office of "Journal of Peking University".

I met a young teacher in the stairwell, who was the young man who received Professor Jiang Feng and his partner yesterday.

Yan Jiayan called him, "Xiao Wu, are Professor Jiang Feng and the others in the office?"

Teacher Wu turned around and saw the three old men staring at him intently. He was so scared that his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly reacted, "Director Yan, Professor Jiang and the others are waiting for you in the office."

"Okay, go to the cafeteria and help us get some food. We just came back from a meeting with Director Fang from Beijing Normal University and we are starving."

Yan Jiayan waved his hand and gave instructions.

"understood."

Teacher Wu curled his lips, looked at the three people with some resentment, turned around and went downstairs silently.

I just came back from the cafeteria!
bother……

After watching Teacher Xiao Wu leave, the three of them quickly went upstairs and finally returned to the office.

As expected, the office was empty except for two figures with messy hair sitting at the desks. One of them was a middle-aged man with a handsome temperament and good looks, which made people feel good.

Professor Jiang Feng heard the noise and looked up. "Director Yan, you are finally back. I have finished reading the paper. Here is the paper review opinion form I wrote. Please take a look."

After saying that, he picked up the opinion form in his hand and handed it over.

Yan Jiayan looked at him in surprise, then took the review opinion form from his hand, but did not look down, but looked at Jiang Feng.

I noticed that he had heavy bags under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was a little messy.

Yesterday he had said he would see him the next day, but he didn't expect Professor Jiang Feng to be so sincere that he actually rushed to finish reading the paper...

Thinking of this, Yan Jiayan suddenly felt ashamed and said, "Professor Jiang just arrived in BJ yesterday at noon. He was exhausted from the long journey. I didn't expect that Professor Jiang would work hard all night to review this paper. I, Yan, feel really ashamed..."

"Haha, it's okay."

Professor Jiang Feng waved his hand, not caring at all. "In fact, this paper is so well written that I couldn't help but stay up late to finish reading it."

"It's written so well?" Director Fang, who was standing by, was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

You have to know that he didn't have any requirements for Cheng Kaiyan's paper. He was grateful that it could be published. After getting a positive answer from Yan Jiayan that it would be published, he didn't have any more extravagant demands.

But I didn’t expect that Professor Jiang Feng, who is very famous in the field of children’s literature theory, would praise it as being so well-written.

hiss……

Is it possible that Cheng Kaiyan is really a genius?

"Can you tell me more specifically? What is so good about Comrade Xiao Cheng's paper?"

Director Ji Zhenhuai also asked with some curiosity. Because of this paper, he also got to know this young man named Cheng Kaiyan.

But when he understood it, he was shocked.

This young man has recently turned the literary world upside down. Since entering the literary world, every work he has written is a masterpiece.

The recently published children's literature work "The Alchemist's Alchemy" caused a sensation in the literary world. Mr. Ye Shengtao and Ms. Bing Xin even praised him as a future master of children's literature.

The book "Love Letter" has attracted countless young people to pursue it, and now everyone in schools in Beijing is learning from his lectures on the view of love at Beijing Normal University.

The film "Submarine at Night" directly established his reputation as a talented scholar.

The most influential work, "Fragrant Grass", indirectly promoted the end of an era of educated youth.

Without waiting for Professor Jiang Feng to speak, Yan Jiayan, who had received the paper review form, spoke with trembling hands and an extremely excited tone:

“First, theoretical originality.

Second, it not only provides a complete theoretical framework, but also elaborates on the aesthetic characteristics of these three types of "meta-themes", providing systematic theoretical support for the study of children's literature.

Third, combining theory with practice, the article analyzes a large number of children's literature works covering both China and the West.

Fourth, he adopted the writing method of literary history, summarizing children's literature works since the May Fourth Movement, selecting outstanding works for analysis and interpretation, and interspersing other works among them, forming this paper with the main trunk of its rationalist framework..."

……

As Yan Jiayan's voice came to an end, the office suddenly became quiet.

Ji Zhenhuai and Director Fang looked at each other face to face and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Yan Jiayan said with emotion: "Comrade Xiao Cheng is really a piece of gold!"

Director Fang's heart was in turmoil.

After working in the academic world for so many years, he could naturally see what it meant when these comments were made on a paper.

Innovative theories are easy to say, but who in the entire academic community can easily come up with one?

Which one is not about the in-depth analysis of a foreign theory, the application of a theory in other fields, etc.

The word "innovation" can crush a lot of people.

Second, a complete theoretical system framework. As far as he knows, there is no complete theoretical framework in domestic children's literature theory research?
……

"It seems that I have discovered a genius..."

Director Fang took a breath and murmured.

The old voice echoed in the office. Yan Jiayan and Ji Zhenhuai were silently digesting the shock in their hearts.

"Ha ha……"

Professor Jiang Feng, who was standing by, was happily drinking tea, thinking that he wasn't the only one who was so shocked that he couldn't sleep the whole night. These old professors were also quite frightened!

After watching the show for a while, Professor Jiang Feng slowly said, "Director Yan, what do you think? Is this paper worth reading? If it cannot be published, I can recommend it to the journal of Hangzhou University."

"You wish! It should be published in the journal of our Beijing Normal University!"

Director Fang immediately refuted, he soon realized what kind of chemical reaction would be caused by such an epoch-making and pioneering paper appearing in a journal.

"Ahem... I think you two should stop arguing. You submitted the paper yourself, Old Fang, and it has already been published in our Peking University Journal."

Professor Ji Zhenhuai patted their shoulders and said with a smile.

"Old Ji is right. We at Peking University want this paper! Publish it immediately! Publish it right away! I want to make the entire academic and literary world a sensation because of this paper next week!"

Yan Jiayan slammed the table and shouted, leaving no room for rejection or questioning.

"I'm giving you an advantage!"

Director Fang adjusted himself quickly. After all, everyone was here with him, so a mere paper was nothing.

At this time, Teacher Xiao Wu came with food.

The four of them were eating and chatting.

After introductions from Director Fang and the other two, Professor Jiang Feng finally got to know this young man named Cheng Kaiyan.

"So those two works of children's literature were his. No wonder he was able to write this paper. Where is Comrade Cheng Kaiyan now? Can we meet him?"

Professor Jiang Feng nodded. Now he understood the reason and became even more curious about Cheng Kaiyan.

"He is a teaching assistant at Beijing Normal University, and I am the director of the Chinese Department at Beijing Normal University."

Director Fang introduced with a smile.

"Director Fang, could you take me to meet him? I'm very interested in this Comrade Cheng."

"Of course, but Professor Jiang, you should take a good rest for a few days. Perhaps we can hold a lecture at Beijing Normal University after the publication, so that the two of you can exchange ideas and talk about children's literature. Do you think it's feasible?"

Director Fang first gave some advice. After all, one could tell Professor Jiang was tired from his voice.

"Okay, then we have a deal."

"It was a great literary event to have Professor Jiang and Comrade Cheng Kaiyan give public lectures on children's literature."

Professor Ji Zhenhuai applauded and laughed.

Yan Jiayan: “That’s right, that’s right!”

……

Half an hour later, Director Fang returned to Beijing Normal University with great joy.

It was already past one in the afternoon and class would begin soon.

On the school path, Director Fang caught a glimpse of a figure who seemed to be a student in Cheng Kaiyan's class. He was thin, with a mole on the corner of his mouth, which was very impressive.

"Hey! Classmate, are you from the writer class?"

Hearing a voice calling him, Li Zhi subconsciously turned his head and saw a man in his fifties or sixties. Looking closely, he found that it was Director Fang from the Chinese Department.

His heart was burning with excitement. If he could get in touch with this person, maybe he could stay in Beijing Normal University as an assistant professor.

After all, if Cheng Kaiyan can be an assistant coach, why can't Li Zhi be one!
He only has a high school education, and when he graduates he will have a college degree, which makes him a real talent!
It’s hard to find a job at this time. If I could be an assistant professor at Beijing Normal University, it would be a great blessing, with a salary of 60 yuan a month!
Sixty bucks!!
To be honest, Li Zhi had never seen so much money. Even the officials in his hometown town didn't have such high salaries.

With his mind full of thoughts, Li Zhi trotted over to Director Fang and asked in a flattering manner, "Director Fang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Director Fang frowned when he saw his timid look and said, "Are you from the writers' class? Do you know Cheng Kaiyan?"

"Knowing each other."

Li Zhi was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to neglect it easily.

"Tell him a message and tell him that I have consulted with Director Yan of Peking University and his paper has passed the review and will be published as early as next week."

"what?!"

Li Zhi's face was full of astonishment, which soon turned into shock, and the next second he was filled with disbelief and jealousy.

How can it be? !
How can it be? !
Director Fang saw that he was standing there without moving, so he just left.

It was unknown how long it had passed before Li Zhi realized that Cheng Kaiyan was looking down on him and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Maybe in his eyes I am just a clown.

No, he doesn't even have me in his eyes...

Li Zhi's face turned pale and blue as he thought. He was standing alone under the tree, as if he had lost his soul.

The gap between reality and fantasy is sometimes just that big.
