Chapter 8 Identity Revealed
Such a primitive cell phone ringtone without any music is obviously very likely to belong to an old man.
Xia Junnan was still digesting the popularity of the poem he posted on the Internet when his cell phone rang. When he saw it was an unfamiliar number, he immediately hung up, thinking it was a harassing call.
"There are too many harassing phone calls now."
Several literary bigwigs on the other side were not calm, and the author actually hung up the phone directly!
Several people discussed that it would not be a good idea to call repeatedly. This would be disrespectful to the poet. It would be better to leave a message directly on the poetry contest website first.
He quickly went to the platform and sent a contact request in his dedicated mailbox. This message from the organizer soon appeared in Xia Junnan's mailbox and was immediately pinned to the top.
"Huh? The organizer actually sent me a message, and it seems that I will be asked to collect the money now!"
It says: Hello, Mr. Junnan, could you please answer the phone? This is our contact information
The string of phone numbers attached below gave Xia Junnan a very familiar feeling, and he immediately replied "yes"
Just after replying, the phone rang again. Xia Junnan picked up the phone and realized that the number was still the previous harassing call.
When he saw it was the number of the organizer of the poetry contest, Xia Junnan quickly pressed the connect button.
Several big guys in Gufeng Villa were sitting around a conference table and were so nervous that they couldn't even breathe when they saw the call coming through.
"Hello, are you Mr. Handsome?" Zuo An took a deep breath and asked politely, pretending to be calm.
"Yes, I am a handsome man, but why am I an old man? My name is not old either!"
A very young boy came from the mobile phone. Several leaders opened their mouths in surprise. Some of them were holding a cup and sipping tea, and the tea spurted out of their mouths.
"No, I'm sorry, are you the contributing author of "Wangyue"?"
Zuo An tried his best to control his trembling hands and hold the phone steady and asked again.
"That's right, didn't your organizer send a message to contact me?"
Xia Junnan felt strange as to why he had doubts about his age.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Junnan, we made a mistake about your age. That's because your works have had a great impact and received astonishing responses, so I would like to make an appointment to invite you to our service center to collect your bonus."
Left Bank responded quickly and answered quickly.
Several people present still couldn't believe that the author was so young.
"I'll set the time? Pick it up at any time?"
"Of course, everything is subject to your time. You can come over whenever you are free."
"Then tomorrow morning, ten o'clock in the morning, you can send me the address and I will go directly there."
When Xia Junnan heard that it was up to him to set the time, he would do it as soon as possible. If it wasn't too far from here to the city, he would just set it at nine in the morning.
Since he is receiving a bonus, it is natural that the sooner the better. It is safe to pocket the money. It is important for him, a homeless person with no income, to have a source of money.
"Okay, then we will wait for you at the Gufeng Courtyard tomorrow." Yes, that's right, the name of this Gufeng Courtyard is the Gufeng Courtyard
"Since you are coming to our place tomorrow, I will first give you some money for transportation expenses." Zuo'an proposed a subsidy at the right time.
"Ah? And there's this kind of treatment!"
“It’s right for you to take a trip on a hot day.”
Zuo An thought that he was originally going to propose sending a special car to pick him up, but he was afraid that this gentleman would mind if they seemed too grand.
After hanging up the phone, Zuo An took the initiative to apply for Xia Junnan's prestige and directly transferred a 10,000 yuan red envelope.
Xia Junnan clicked on the red envelope and saw that it was 10,000 yuan! He thought to himself that the organizer was too generous. He only gave so much for transportation expenses. This was not even close to the third prize at the event!
He was so happy at the moment that he was sitting at home and money was falling from the sky.
On the other side, several people from Gufeng Villa started a heated discussion.
"This! How can it be a young man?"
"Could it be that he is not the poet himself? Is he the one who wrote the poem on behalf of an eminent person?"
"Everyone, I think that regardless of whether he wrote the poem himself or not, this handsome man is not ordinary. Even if he writes poems on behalf of the master, his relationship with the master is extraordinary."
Zuo An's words made everyone present nod in approval. In fact, he sent the transportation fee to show his goodwill first. Regardless of whether it was written by him or not, it is good to make friends with this person first.
"I have another suggestion"
"We will see the real person tomorrow morning, why not give him another test?"
Wang Qingshi suddenly thought of this good idea and suggested giving it a try.
"How are Mr. Wang preparing to take the exam?" Zuo An asked.
"We can ask him to improvise poems on the grounds of appreciation of poetry. Since he can write an eternally famous poem like "Wang Yue", we can also improvise a few ordinary poems."
"After all, famous poems throughout the ages cannot be composed casually. From ancient times to the present, few people can do it."
"If you can compose limericks casually, it proves that you are a poet. After all, none of us sitting here can do it. Even ordinary poems still need to be considered."
"If it doesn't work out, we can continue to be friends for a while and we will have a chance to meet the master behind it."
Several people thought Wang Qingshi's proposal was very good and unanimously agreed to do it.
Early the next morning, Xia Junnan took a taxi to the center of Huacheng to attend the appointment based on the location sent by the other party.
Luo Yuqing also contacted Zhao Huan and asked for a meeting. Zhao Huan also came to the flat floor of the western suburbs to meet her at her request.
It was at this time that Zhao Huan brought the latest news to Luo Yuqing.
"What? The strongest voice in China wants to change the competition proposition? Why?"
Luo Yuqing felt that the songs she had worked hard to write in the past two days were in vain again, and she felt like crying without tears.
"Yes, in the final stage of original songs, you can play freely without any restrictions on the subject matter. After all, it is difficult for original creations to shine."
"But in the past two days, a poetry contest came out of nowhere."
"This event is usually just a small event, and it doesn't fit in with our entertainment industry."
"As a result, a poem came out and became popular all over the Internet. Have you not read the trending searches in the past two days?"
Luo Yuqing really didn't pay attention. She had been busy writing and singing songs these two days. She didn't have time to play with her mobile phone. She hadn't watched Douyin for several days.
"So in the original song stage of the finals, the current topic is ancient style songs, which is to keep up with the popularity of this round of poetry activities."
"It's only been two days. It's still early for the entire poetry contest to end. This wave of popularity is expected to last for a long time."
After Zhao Huan finished explaining the situation, he took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and drank it. After traveling all the way and talking for a long time, he was really thirsty.
"Oh my God! I can barely create original modern songs, but I can't even create ancient songs!"
Luo Yuqing felt that it was even more hopeless now: "Come on, why don't we see where we can make some money by singing on the streets."
His slender fingers scratched his hair irritably.
On the other side, Xia Junnan arrived at the door of Gufeng Villa and was greeted by several middle-aged and elderly literary figures.
I was even more shocked when I saw the confirmation from both parties.
"Are you a handsome man?"
"yes!"
"As his name suggests, he is really handsome!"
Zuo An was the first to express emotion, his appearance is comparable to that of a popular male star, no wonder he is called a handsome man.
