Novel

Hearing Dryden's question, the smile on Zhu Yanlin's face did not diminish.

He not only told Dryden that the first place in this domestic literature competition was Chen Tianhong, but also recommended Chen Tianhong's entry "The Wandering Earth" to Dryden.

Dryton also praised a few words after reading it, but that was just polite.

In his opinion, the background of the story and content of "The Wandering Earth" have nothing wrong with thinking about human nature, and the writing is also very good.

But the setting of taking the planet to escape into the universe remains to be discussed. From their thinking perspective, the "Wandering Earth" plan in the article is completely irrational and too whimsical.

Even Dryton thought so, not to mention his student Charles.

Charles also watched "The Wandering Earth" as soon as possible. After reading it, he didn't believe that Chen Tianhong was better than him. He could even write such an unrigorous science fiction novel, so why did he surpass himself?

This is the cultural gap between the East and the West. The Wandering Earth, which shocked Zhu Yanlin, Hong Tao and others, was not rigorous in the eyes of Dryden and Charles.

"President Dryton, you want to see Chen Tianhong's child, of course it's okay, Xiao Yan."

Zhu Yanlin was about to call his secretary Xiao Yan to find Chen Tianhong, but the moment he turned his face, he saw Chen Tianhong sitting in his seat not far away, looking very happy to chat with others.

Their current position is just in the front row of the synagogue, which is only a dozen steps away from Chen Tianhong and his seat.

"I thought you hadn't arrived there yet, but I didn't expect you to have already been in the table."

Zhu Yanlin couldn't help but smile. Since he had seen Chen Tianhong, there was no need to let the secretary shout again.

So he walked towards Chen Tianhong, and the rest of his movements naturally followed him.

In fact, logic is that even if it is only a dozen steps away, Chen Tianhong should have come to see Zhu Yanlin and the others. No matter what, Zhu Yanlin is an elder, and there are also "foreign friends" like Dryden and others.

However, Zhu Yanlin himself is not a person who pays special attention to rules. Although he also knows that Dryden was leading to see Chen Tianhong, he was more or less rude.

But, Zhu Yanlin also saw what Dryden wanted to see Chen Tianhong.

It was obvious that they were here to make a fuss. From the expressions on their faces after watching "The Wandering Earth" at that time, they looked down on the science fiction romance of the East.

Especially Charles, a student of Dryton, said directly on the spot that the content of the novel "The Wandering Earth" had many problems, and said that if it was in their country, the novel would not even be in the top ten in the country.

Although Charles was immediately scolded by Dryton after he finished speaking, Zhu Yanlin and the others couldn't say a child, but they must have a knot in their hearts.

This caused a group of literary masters to take the initiative to find Chen Tianhong's picture.

It was not until they arrived next to Chen Tianhong's seat that Chen Tianhong, Zhuo Chengsheng, Xu Jiaojiao and the others realized that in fact, the first person to see Zhu Yanlin and the others came was Yuan Haotian.

Because Chen Tianhong and Zhuo Chengsheng and the other four had a happy chat and did not pay much attention to the external environment. However, because of the "green leaves" problem, Yuan Haotian said nothing even when he spoke during the period.

When Yuan Haotian Chu saw Zhu Yanlin and his group coming, he didn't expect that they were coming to his side. He thought they were passing by. After all, Zhu Yanlin's reputation would have expected that he would come to these students.

Even if they are the top ten in this competition, they will not have to let a generation of literary masters come here in person. Even if they meet, they will visit them.

As a result, Yuan Haotian was "slapped in the face" at the speed of light. Zhu Yanlin really came to find them, to be precise, Chen Tianhong.

Because after arriving here, Zhu Yanlin's first words were to say hello to Chen Tianhong.

"Tianhong, what are you talking about? You are so happy."

"President Zhu, why are you here?"

After seeing Zhu Yanlin, Chen Tianhong hurriedly got up, and he was also shocked.

Not only him, whether it was Zhuo Chengsheng, Xu Jiaojiao, Yang Guangshan, or even the arrogant Yuan Haotian looked surprised and excited.

Except for Chen Tianhong, the five of them saw Zhu Yanlin for the first time. They usually saw it several times in newspapers or on TV.

Zhu Yanlin can be said to be an idol who loves literature students and is their goal.

When Zhu Yanlin and Chen Tianhong were greeted, Zhuo Chengsheng and others all looked at Chen Tianhong with envious eyes. They didn't know that Chen Tianhong and Zhu Yanlin had seen them before.

At this moment, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the first place is the first place! Even President Zhu treated him differently!

Yuan Haotian was so sour that he couldn't be more sour. In his opinion, if he was the first in this competition, President Zhu would say hello to him first.

"Haha, of course I'm going to come over. If I don't come to the synagogue, no one will give you your prize."

Zhu Yanlin smiled and joked, and when he said this, he smiled at Zhuo Chengsheng, Yuan Haotian and the others.

These are all potential juniors, so he will naturally not neglect them.

"Come on, let me introduce you to Mr. William Dryton, President of the Writers Association of England, and Mr. Douglas."

Zhu Yanlin began to introduce Dryden and his group to Chen Tianhong and others, and also introduced Chen Tianhong and others to Dryden at the same time.

But except for Chen Tianhong, he didn't know the names of Yuan Haotian and the others. Fortunately, when the introduction was introduced, both Zhuo Chengsheng and Yuan Haotian were very smart, so he said the names himself.

However, Dryton and the others were just interested in Chen Tianhong. Yuan Haotian just took a look at Zhuo Chengsheng, nodded politely and stopped paying attention.

After listening to Zhu Yanlin's introduction, Chen Tianhong also learned about the identity of Dryton and his group.

He had no idea, and not every visiting group was deliberately prepared to show off his poems like Derrick and others.

So Chen Tianhong greeted Dryden and the others politely, but when he arrived at Charles, he didn't wait for him to speak.

Charles stared at Chen Tianhong with a direct gaze, and his little head raised an exaggerated curve than Yuan Haotian, and said in an extremely arrogant tone.

"You are Chen Tianhong, the person who wrote short stories in two minutes?"

Charles speaks English, but neither Chen Tianhong nor Yuan Haotian can understand it.

Those who can enter the top ten in the country have no academic performance, and basic English communication is nothing at all.

Chen Tianhong looked at Charles with a little unhappy. The tone of this guy speaking was even more annoying than that of Yuan Haotian last year, and he was deeply hostile.

"Yes, it's me! What do you think?"

Chen Tianhong said this in pure Chinese, and his attitude towards speaking was also very tough.

He has a good temper, but he has never had a good face to treat his friends, enemies, or people like Charles who speak badly.

As for how to deal with it, please refer to the early stage of Ximing Ge, and Yuan Haotian who was tortured last year.

Zhuo Chengsheng, Xu Jiaojiao and the others were curious when they heard the conversation between the two. What does it mean when they wrote a short story in two minutes? I can’t understand it!

Chen Tianhong's article "God, the Queen is pregnant, who did it" did not spread, and not many people know it.

In fact, even Chen Tianhong himself was curious about how this arrogant foreign boy knew.

But this doesn't matter. What matters is what this guy who is about the same age as me wants to do.

"It really took two minutes?"

Charles could understand Chinese, and he heard Chen Tianhong admit that his blue eyes were still disbelief.

"That's right! If you want to change the bag!"

Charles understood the first two words, but he didn't understand the idioms behind them, but it was enough to understand two words.

"I don't believe it, I want to compete with you!"

As soon as Charles said this, Zhu Yanlin's eyes narrowed. Not only him, but the other people present had a very good look.

What does it mean!

We respect you as guests from afar and specially invite you to participate in the award ceremony of the competition.

You guys are so good that they actually want to compete with our number one. Do you know what etiquette and culture are?

They didn't say they had no confidence in Chen Tianhong, but there was something wrong with what Charles said. Even if they were competing with each other, they had to compete in the right situation. They would not have to compete for the first time when they met.

Even Yuan Haotian's sense of Charles was not good, because this guy was even more arrogant than him!

Charles didn't know that he had committed public anger at this moment. In fact, he was just simply trying to compete with Chen Tianhong.

After all, geniuses are all arrogant, and they can't stand someone being better than themselves.

As for social etiquette, not every Englishman is a gentleman, and Charles is only eighteen years old this year, and he is the youngest and most frivolous!

Charles didn't know, it didn't mean his teacher Dryton didn't know!

"Charles, be polite!"

Dryton first said Charles, then turned to Zhu Yanlin and said sorry, saying that it was Charles' first time abroad, he was young, etc., and he just explained it anyway.

Dryden said this, so Zhu Yanlin and the others naturally won’t say anything. No matter what, they are also guests, we have to be generous!

However, just when everyone thought that this matter was revealed, Dryton suddenly spoke again.

"President Zhu, Chen Tianhong and these students are the winners of your competition, aren't they?"

"Yes, President Dryton."

"Haha, that's a coincidence. You know that there are college student literature competitions in our England, and the competition has just ended, and Charles is the number one in our college student competitions in England."

"I think, since it's such a coincidence, how about a literary exchange between college students in our two countries? President Zhu, what do you think?"

Dryden smiled. Don't look at him talking about Charles just now. In fact, he was supported by a hundred students who were talking about what he said.

This guy, I still want to compete!

No one present was stupid, and no one could hear what Dryden said. Although they complained in their hearts, it was said that they would not hit people with smiles even if they reached out, and there was nothing wrong with what they said.

Charles and Chen Tianhong are not very different in age, and they are both children. It is not rude to communicate with children about literature.

"Haha, I think it's OK! I wonder what President Dryton wants to communicate?"
