On the first floor of Luye Bookstore, a bunch of people gathered together, looking up at the hanging TV in the bookstore, which was broadcasting the Chinese Youth Literature Award ceremony live.
There were at least fifty or sixty people crowded into a small bookstore.
Customers passing by in the mall saw so many people gathered around the bookstore and thought the store had some kind of promotion. When they came in and saw that they were actually watching the award ceremony, they left in boredom.
Of course, there were also some people who knew about this award and liked reading books about fifth-grade vegetative patients, so they couldn't help but stop, order a drink in the store, and wait with them for the fifth-grade vegetative patient to come out.
President Zhang Junwei had a relatively calm expression and was busy making milk tea behind the bar, occasionally glancing at the TV screen.
Also relatively calm are his wife Li Tianyi and Tong Can.
Tong Can has not been to Green Field Bookstore for several days, but because of the award ceremony today, he came over to watch it with everyone.
He didn't come here just to see what Zhang Zhong looked like. After all, he had known it for a long time. He just wanted to see the surprised expressions of the people in the book club when they saw Zhang Zhong's appearance. Thinking about it, he felt a little happy.
Lin Dong looked up and watched TV while sipping milk tea. He was impatient. After watching the prospect meeting for a while, he said anxiously, "When will these things end? It's the same every year. There's no energy at all."
"You know it's almost the same every year, so why rush? It won't be over by three o'clock." Someone next to him laughed.
Someone else said, "I wanted to go to Yanjing to support him before, but after thinking about it carefully, we don't know what a vegetative person looks like, and it's not easy to support him."
"We can wait for him outside the Literature Museum after the results come out."
Lin Dong curled his lips and said, "Forget it, a vegetative person is not a movie star, so why are you doing support?"
"Tch, if you're not a movie star, you can't support him." A girl rolled her eyes, and then said, "Besides, even if we don't go to support, if we can meet a vegetative person, it would be good to ask him for an autograph."
This time Lin Dong did not refute, but nodded, "I can have a signature."
Hearing the signature, Tong Can felt secretly happy. He had already gotten Zhang Zhong's signature. But unfortunately, he couldn't show it off yet. Hey, he could wait until after the award ceremony.
While Tong Can was thinking about something, Lin Dong pointed at the TV and shouted, "It's over, people will be out soon!"
Everyone was attracted and stared at the screen. Although no one came out yet, they did not dare to change their eyes for a moment.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the entire bookstore became tense, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to speak.
…
Zhang Zhong saw that the prospect meeting was about to end, and before he turned around, Wu Ke had already come in.
"Teacher Zhang, we are about to go on stage."
Zhang Dian nodded, stood up and walked out with Wu Ke.
On the way to the auditorium, Wu Ke was still telling Zhang Zhong repeatedly, "Teacher Zhang, after we enter the auditorium, we need you to walk through the red carpet alone and go directly to the stage. The award presenter, Teacher Yu, will be waiting for you on the stage.
When walking on the red carpet, try to walk as slowly as possible to give reporters some time to take pictures. Under normal circumstances, no reporters will ask you questions. If a reporter asks you a question, you don't have to answer it. After the press area, there is a black pillar.
, you have to walk at a normal speed starting from the pillar. Because from here on, the broadcast will introduce your work and give the award speech, which lasts about twenty-five seconds. You don’t need to keep track of the time, just walk normally.
"
In fact, what he said was written on the piece of paper he gave Zhang Zhong before, but he was afraid that Zhang Zhong didn't read it, so he reminded it again.
Furthermore, seeing that Zhang Zhong was so young, he was afraid that something would happen if he had stage fright.
After Zhang Zhong heard what he said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Editor Wu, why do I feel that you are more nervous than me."
I……
Wu Ke looked at Zhang Zhong's smiling face, and his originally nervous mood relaxed a lot. The fifth-grade vegetative person in front of him was more calm than he imagined.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm also afraid that something will go wrong." Wu Ke said sheepishly.
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "It's okay, it's normal to be a little nervous."
While talking, the two walked to the door of the auditorium, and Wu Ke went up and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Zhang Zhong heard countless shutter sounds.
The guests who were originally sitting in their seats also stood up at this moment and turned their heads to look in his direction.
Zhang Zhong looked at the faces in the auditorium.
If these people are all statues, then the sculptor's technique of carving them would be too simple, because they all have only one expression - shock.
Because of this short-term shock, the applause in the auditorium was slowed down by half a beat.
No one present said anything, but the live broadcast platform exploded.
【?????】
【!!!!!】
【This is real?】
【That's right.】
[I’m sure I’m not mistaken. The person next to me is Wu Ke, the editor-in-chief of Youth Daily. He was the one who brought the winners in last year. 】
[How old is this fifth-grade vegetative person? He looks to be in his early twenties. 】
【Anyway, he looks younger than me, I am just thirty this year.】
[You only focus on age, am I the only one who thinks he is handsome?]
[He is handsome, but your focus is a little too weird.]
[Okay, I will be a vegetative person from now on. 】
…
Greenfield Bookstore.
The milk tea that Lin Dong just drank almost sprayed on Tong Can who was standing in front of him.
"Damn, he's so young - no, why do I feel he looks so familiar? President, come and take a look, he's the same as the one you brought last time..." Lin Dong then remembered when Zhang Junwei introduced that person before
No name was said.
Zhang Junwei said with a smile, "Looking at it, it does look a bit like it."
Lin Dong saw the strange look in Zhang Junwei's eyes and couldn't help shouting, "President, are you hiding something from us?"
Zhang Junwei looked at the members' eyes and said with a smile, "Watch the ceremony, watch the ceremony, and then we'll talk about it."
…
"Wow, daddy is out."
In the hotel suite, Pengpeng, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly saw Zhang Zhong appear on the TV screen and jumped up and danced.
At this time, Zhang Zhong on the TV screen waved towards the camera, and the little girl shouted again, "Dad is waving to me, he heard me."
Hu Huifang smiled and said, "What's wrong with your dad? Hey, don't hold the TV, we still want to watch it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Pengpeng jumped off the sofa, holding the TV and staring at Zhang Zhong on the screen. While watching, she shouted, "Dad, Dad, I'm here, look at me quickly."
