Chapter 369 State Banquet Invited, Queen's Draft (Part 2)
Even if it does not include its origins with the United Kingdom, with Liu Jingting's current international and domestic influence, he is qualified to attend a state banquet as a "representative of the literary and artistic circles". ()
What's more, the foreign guests to be received are the Queen of England.
"Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet" made most British people recognize him, and "Shelf's Detective Collection" made him one of the British favorite foreign writers.
Now that the Nobel halo is added to it, it is natural to appear in the letter of nationality. In fact, before the British ambassador submitted his letter of nationality, Liu Jingting had already appeared on the invitation list.
When several editors wrote stories together a few years ago, it was impossible to imagine that they were stating a fact.
Although Liu Jingting followed everyone to make fun of himself, he actually knew it. Naturally, this intuition could not be expressed in words. If it fails, it will be embarrassing, and if it fails, it will be a surprise.
Of course, it is impossible to refuse, it has nothing to do with the specifications or personal reputation. The primary purpose is not to deal with the issue of "Jinglu".
In a certain secret fun, Liu Jingting was waiting for a natural opportunity. It seemed that when he first promoted "The Merchant of Venice", he met an ordinary old man who was enjoying a Roman holiday in a noodle restaurant in Rome, showing his identities and greeted each other politely, and then the old man asked him to leave a poem in the beautiful Venice.
As a result, "The Merchant of Venice" was born, stunning Europe, and the chance encounter at the noodle restaurant was also promoted into a good story.
There is no doubt that Liu Jingting is full of interest in this kind of anecdotes.
As expected, he encountered this opportunity, and the extra joy was first informed by Yang Lilu's father. The meaning of elders revealed in his words is very interesting.
Chang Youdao, Wang Jianshan, Xiao Qingyu, Kang Lingyue, Qingjiao and others were in a great surprise, as if a story they made up suddenly appeared on the screen. If the voice of the broadcast host had not been familiar with it, they even doubted the credibility of the video.
"It's really... the boss?" Qingjiao subconsciously placed her right hand between her chin and lower lip.
Xu Qing smiled confidently and said, "As soon as the news ends, there will be discussions online. This cannot be fake."
Yang Lilu further explained: "Inviting him and Liu Jingting to attend the state banquet is a special clause proposed by the British side."
"Wow……"
Qingjiao and Su Jin both exclaimed the unique surprises of girls. The emotions of the boys were much more complicated, shocked, excited, glorious, proud, passionate, and high spirited.
In addition to the inherent emotional reactions between men and women, it is more about something hidden deep in the heart called ambition or dream.
The history of the Chinese nation's civilization has continued for thousands of years, and some traditional fixed concepts have been flowing in people's blood. For example, "A man is the gateway". "Study hard and good will become an official", "After ten years of hard work, you will become famous in one day", "Before the horse and the street, you will go to the Qionglin banquet"...
Even if they are put to this day, these inspiring words still have very positive and motivating meanings. Just like Liu Jingting’s experience tonight, countless young people have seen a hope and possibility. They have a broad vision and suddenly realize that a person’s success can still do this.
"This is the real winner in life."
After this news ended, Chang Youdao began to sigh: "I guess the forum has exploded now when I go to the Internet cafe."
"I originally thought the boss went to Yanjing to make a fake move, so I set up a suspicion array so that they could not make things difficult for them. I didn't expect that the boss was so mighty and really went to the state banquet."
In private communication with colleagues and in their daily anecdotes about Liu Jingting, Wang Jianshan had already intentionally magnified Liu Jingting's image in his heart. It was not until he saw the news that he realized that it was not big enough.
"No wonder Aunt Qing said she could scare them even if she had a meal. She had a dinner of this level..."
...
The news has been broadcast, and everyone slowly recovered from their shock and began to analyze the rationality of this matter. Then everyone found that there was no need to analyze this point.
If a writer is needed to attend this occasion, who is more suitable besides Liu Jingting?
In addition, as Chang Youdao expected, the Internet is indeed in a small-scale movement. While singing the mighty and domineering spirit of Gu Yongsheng, readers were guessing what Liu Jingting said to the two leaders respectively.
"I feel that the boss is so calm and not at all stage frightened. I am worthy of being the boss and I didn't embarrass us."
"From the mouth shape, I should not just say simple clichés, but probably talk about the content of the book."
"Seeing Gu Da's serious look, it is possible that he had any suggestions. "Jianglu" was reviewed some time ago, would he not say anything?"
"Have you noticed a detail that Gu Yongsheng and the Queen did not use translation to chat with him, and had accessibility communication. I wonder if Gu Da received any queen's secret order?"
...
There was a lot of lively discussion on the Internet, and the words about "review" that appeared from time to time made many people start to tremble and nervous.
"Jianglu's manuscript is immediately passed, and then contact their person in charge, hurry up!"
The leader of a relevant department who vowed to suppress Liu Jingting's momentum just as he heard the host report Liu Jingting's name, he quickly made an emergency call to his subordinates.
There were six other people who were also anxious and restless. Although all the measures to sanction Liu Jingting were cancelled, some links had to be arranged oppositely. Simply put, the places that had been deliberately suppressed in the past should be supported and promoted.
Of course, for them, the most critical thing now is to deal with possible accountability in the future, which may be an unprecedented storm.
For decision makers in specific fields, they can sometimes ignore the power of public opinion and even question it, but they cannot violate the spirit above at all.
Before the specific news comes out, all preparations need to be made, that is, to light up every green light for "Jianglu" and open up every green channel.
Even if it is not implemented for the time being, the situation must be set out.
...
When Chang Youdao received a telephone notification from the review of the content of "Jianglu", he was predicting the future fate of the magazine with his colleagues. After hanging up the phone, he happily snapped his fingers.
“Prepare for printing!”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, floated out of the water, breathing happily.
The question about "What did Liu Jingting encounter at the state banquet" was quickly answered, because after the state banquet, Liu Jingting accepted an interview.
"When I mentioned "The Little Prince" and "The Old Man and the Sea", I said that I had read these two books, and then encouraged the creation of more meaningful works and concerned about our current creative environment, I gave some of my own opinions."
"What did the Queen tell you?"
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Appointment for a manuscript."
I didn't say it too specifically, but the amount of information is definitely not small.
1. Regarding the "creative environment", what did Liu Jingting answer and what did he mention?
2. On such occasions, the Queen’s personal appointment was a real choice, and it also had some diplomatic significance;
3. In addition to the announced "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Liu Jingting is going to write a new book?
...
No matter what, the facts are established, the review problem of "Jianglu" has been completely solved and some compensation has been obtained.
On February 27, "Jinglu" announced the resumption of publication and announced that the new issue of "Super Issue" will be officially launched on March 15. Correspondingly, the March Issue will be temporarily bye, because the editorial department will move next!
Chapter completed!
