The time for formal submission of works is the eve of the official start of the first session. The judges need to read one carefully before the public selection, and then read it again in a formal occasion to get the most realistic results.

Of course, this form is limited to writers. As for musicians and painters, they submit their works on the spot when the first session officially begins.

After all, words... Generally speaking, taking time to dig into the meaning and taking a quick look at it are two completely different senses.

For example, in a novel called "The Tale of Genji", you may think that the text is dull and boring at first glance, but if you read it carefully, you can find the depth of it.

In addition, there is a heavyweight like Zhong Li among the judges this time. Considering his level of rigor, if we only rely on the little time we have when submitting the works for evaluation, the time is completely insufficient.

Among all the writers, the one he looked forward to the most was Ningzhe, so even if Ningzhe went to submit his work in the middle of the night, Mr. Zhong was still waiting for him.

After seeing the title of Ningzhe's new book "Interstellar", Mr. Zhong briefly read the first page, then kicked Ningzhe out and started reading it seriously.

Seeing the old man's serious look, Ningzhe had no choice but to go back to his room to catch up on his sleep and wait until the official opening the next morning.

...

The next morning, Inazuma Central Commercial Street.

Although this is the central commercial street recognized by the entire Daozuma City, the actual commercial scale here is not large. If compared with various economic-related industries and facilities, it is not even as good as the Chihuyan area in Liyue Port.

.

However, despite this, it is still a relatively prosperous area for the people of Inazuma, so Yaedo also chose this place for the submission and selection of works.

The employees of Yaedo had already set up the display stage last night. It is divided into three locations. The middle one is the selection seat where the judges are, the one on the right is the artists, and the one slightly to the left is

Representatives of the Third Shogunate and relatives of judges...

That's right, they are the representatives of Sanfengxing and... relatives of the judges.

In other words, people from Sanfengxing will attend exchange meetings here, and similarly, Wulang, who is a close confidant of Xinhai, will also sit down here...

Um...

I can only say that he is a scornful fox, but no one else would do such a thing if he were to host this kind of event...

Having said that, in view of the sufficient popularity of the artists participating in the event, the staff of Yaedo also added some more empty seats than the default.

——The fact was indeed not beyond their expectations. When Ningzhe arrived at this place, nearly hundreds of people had already gathered around the place.

But at first glance, it seems that nearly half of the people are just here to join in the fun, and not many people really pay attention to the works on display at the cultural exchange meeting.

Why?

It's very simple, because the place is very noisy, you can vaguely hear some people talking about artists and works, but more people are just discussing "what should I eat today" and "the black-haired young man sitting on the stage is so handsome".

topic.

But there is one thing to say, Mr. Zhong’s appearance and lethality are indeed amazing.

After coming to this conclusion, Ningzhe no longer had any interest in paying attention to the crowd. He focused his attention on the three heavyweights who were already sitting on the judges' bench.

The one on the far left is Inazuma's local character Coral Palace Shinkai, the one in the middle is Yae Shenzi of the organizer Yaedo, and the one on the right is the much-anticipated Zhongli.

At this moment, Mr. Zhong seemed to be completely unaware of the compliments coming from the people around him. He focused his eyes on the tea cup in his hand and took a careful sip.

So elegant and dignified...and seeing Mr. Zhongli acting like this, the eyes of the onlookers were even brighter, and the discussion became louder and louder.

"..."

Yae Kamiko, who was in the middle, could clearly feel the atmosphere of the scene, but she was just sitting upright at the moment, looking seriously at the Yaedo employees working below.

He has the image of a good boss who is serious and responsible.

Regarding this situation, Ningzhe just smiled disdainfully.

How could he not know the thoughts of this fox, Yae Shenzi?

Regardless of how serious her expression is now, don't mention how happy she is at the moment... It's just that she can't show it due to the identity of the old man and her own identity.

But obviously, Ningzhe didn't dare to expose the fox in public, after all, she still had something in her hands...

Ahem, of course those are just trivial matters. The most important thing now is whether those guys will come to the scene...

"Ningzhe, long time no see."

Ningzhe's thoughts were wandering around randomly when suddenly a familiar voice came over.

"Ayato...and Toma?"

Ningzhe turned around and saw at first sight Kamisato Ayato who was greeting him with a smile on his face, and Toma behind him.

"Yeah, I'm really busy with work. I didn't expect that we would see each other less after you arrived at Inazuma."

Thomas also waved to Ningzhe and said with a smile.

"It's okay, we will have plenty of time to party in the future, right..."

Facing two old acquaintances, Toma and Ayato, Ningzhe just looked around, and then showed a very pity expression: "Didn't Miss Ayahua come? She should be very interested in this kind of activities, right?"

"Miss Ayaka..."

Hearing this, Toma subconsciously wanted to speak, but was quickly interrupted by Ayato's slight cough.

"Ahem... Ayaka was too busy with work before, so I asked her to go back and have a good rest, so she can't participate in this exchange meeting."

Ayato took over the conversation, showed his trademark gentle smile, looked at Ningzhe and said.

"That's it..."

Ningzhe shook his head sadly, as if he was very dissatisfied with this statement.

"It's almost time, we have to go there first, so as not to blame the Lord Palace later..."

"Okay, then you can go there first."

Ayato and Ningzhe's words sounded almost at the same time, and both of them guessed what the other wanted to say.

Then, in Toma's confused eyes, Ayato turned around and walked to the left, but soon Toma reacted and quickly followed.

"..."

Ningzhe also returned to his own position, crossed his legs, and looked to the left in a very comfortable posture.

At this moment, compared to the right side where the artists are staying, there is an undercurrent surging on the left side.

Wulang sat in the seat closest to the judges' table, and next to him sat a young man of the same appearance. This young man's expression was very calm, and could even be described as indifferent.

The position he occupies is the position assigned by Yaedo to the Hiiragi family for "appointment and implementation", although he is the only one in the three positions in the Hiiragi family...

But because of this, the identity of this young man became clear.

The second son of the Hiiragi family, Nagi Hiiragi.

He was the only one who came to the huge Hiiragi family.

Compared to the Kujo family and Kamisato family, the Hiiragi family has the fewest people among all the forces.

but...
