It’s not surprising that Zhang checked his own information again, and it’s not surprising that he found it.
The appointment of the Vice Chairman of the Writers Association can be seen on the official website of the Writers Association, and you can also search for it by entering your name in a search engine.
However, what Zhang Zhong said later showed the channels through which he searched for information.
The Writers Association is organizing a cultural delegation to France, and Liu Yuanhe, as the vice chairman, naturally knows about this.
However, the approximate time and location of this visit have only been set, and the specific people and who will lead the group have not yet been determined.
But Zhang Zhong now said that he wanted to lead a group. In addition, Zhang Zhong did not mention this when he called him before. This means that Zhang Zhong should have called Li Hebin or Yang Fengxia after talking to him on the phone, and he
The promotion to vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association was also revealed to Zhang Zhong by Li Hebin or Yang Fengxia.
It has to be said that Liu Yuanhe's nerves were sensitive enough, and he could infer the general course of the matter based on just a few words from Zhang Zhong.
But this was Zhang Zhong's intention. He deliberately revealed this information just to send a signal to Liu Yuanhe and let him understand that he had already told the leaders of the Writers Association that he would not be a judge for the Pu Songling Award.
In this case, Liu Yuanhe naturally did not try to stay, and said with a smile, "This is really a pity. Without Mr. Zhang as the judge, this year's Pu Songling Award will be much inferior."
"Chairman Liu was joking, but I am helpless. I can only wish this Pu Songling Award a successful conclusion," Zhang Zhong said.
"Thank you, and I wish you success in leading a delegation to France this time," Liu Yuanhe said.
The phone call with Liu Yuanhe was very short. We are both smart people. We understood what each other wanted to express in a few words, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
After ending the call with Liu Yuanhe, Zhang Zhong directly called Zhuang Yu.
"You've been so busy lately, you still have time to call me?" As soon as he received Zhang Zhong's call, Zhuang Yu burst into laughter, "There must be something going on."
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "I don't have anything to do, so I just wanted to chat with you. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much."
"We just met not long ago, so don't say such nonsense." Zhuang Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong patted his head, "When you said that, I really remembered something. Isn't this a task given to me by the Writers' Association, asking me to lead a delegation to visit France, which will be there in June. But now
The people who will be participating in the visiting delegation have not yet been decided, so I went to ask, but Chairman Yang told me that I had to decide who would be included in the visiting delegation. Didn’t I just think of you?"
"You actually agreed to let you lead the group. This is not your style, isn't it?" Zhuang Yu said strangely.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong is the kind of person who does more than does less. He is reluctant to participate in a visit like this, let alone lead a group.
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "After all, I am a member of the Writers' Association, and I also receive a stipend every year. I can't just sit back and do nothing. I have a bad conscience."
When Zhuang Yu on the other side of the phone heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Zhong, it's not that I harbor your conscience. It's just that based on my understanding of you, you are not such a positive person at all."
Zhang Zhong said, "Actually, it's not for the Writers Association. If I have time, I would be willing to participate in a visiting delegation like this. After all, it will promote cultural exchanges between the two countries. The most important thing is to promote our Chinese culture."
Originally, I thought about being a deputy group member or a group member like last time, but in the end I was convinced by Chairman Yang and decided to be the leader of this visiting group. She did let me choose my own group members, so I thought of it.
Since you want to promote our Chinese culture, you naturally have to make the lineup more gorgeous. How can we do it without your participation?"
Hearing what Zhang Zhong said, Zhuang Yu stopped joking, "Okay, I don't have a problem here, just tell me the specific process later. Have you called Wang Yi and the others?"
"Not yet. I called you first, so I'll call them right away." Zhang Zhong said.
"Then go and fight quickly. Don't say you'll fight me first. I'm afraid these guys will be jealous." Zhuang Yu warned.
"..."
Of course Wang Yi and the others would not be jealous, but when they learned that they were not the first to be invited by Zhang Zhong, they would all complain.
As for the visiting delegation, they all agreed without hesitation, even before the specific time was determined, regardless of whether they would be scheduled by then.
Although writers don't have a full schedule like film and television stars, writers of Zhuang Yu's level always have something to do, and they are not idlers.
The reason why they agreed so readily was because they believed in their hearts that nothing in the near future was more important than what Zhang Zhong said.
Zhang Zhong is also very grateful to these supportive friends.
After a round of phone calls, the tentative members include Zhuang Yu, Wang Yi, Lai Ziru, Yu Dongyu, Liang Yanqiu, Liu Yuan, Zhao Re, Fang Ya and about ten others.
Later, Zhang Zhong felt that there were a few people there, so he made a few phone calls and called in some writers such as Feng He and Chi Qing.
Including Li Hebin and other staff, the whole group is about twenty people. It is not a big group, but it is not a small group either.
Their group has a very strong lineup, because except for a few staff members, everyone else is a writer, and they are all very well-known writers in the country. Chi Qing, who is the least famous, also became famous for a period of time in his early years.
And Feng He is, after all, the first Chinese writer after Zhang Zhong to win the Nebula Award.
There has never been a visiting delegation from China with such a lineup.
When Yang Fengxia received the list handed to her by Zhang Zhong, she smiled from ear to ear, "I knew it was right to make you the leader of the regiment. No, you have recruited so many strong soldiers and generals for me."
"They are all members of the Writers' Association. Whether they go or not is not a matter of Chairman Yang's decision," Zhang Zhong said.
"I don't have such a big face. Most of the people on your list have very good personalities. You can't invite them easily. Let alone invite them all at once. Oh, oh, look at it.
, look at it, if nothing else, this time I go to France, it’s perfectly fine if you and Zhuang Yu are in the group, you two are the most famous Chinese writers in France." Yang Fengxia said with a smile.
"Well, that's how the list is decided?"
"It's decided, it's decided, do you want me to call a few more of them to confirm?" Yang Fengxia asked.
