Kong Zhou scolded Zhang Zhong again. This time he shifted his fire and started attacking the new book "Border Town". He was not stupid, of course he would criticize whatever was hot.
"The novel "Border Town" is nothing more than the author's prose to show off his literary talent. It cannot be called a complete novel. It is filled with a lot of environmental descriptions. For those who don't know, they might think it is a promotional copy for a certain place. The novel
The theme of the novel is the plot, not these irrelevant details. The plot of this novel is too simple and superficial. The love between boys and girls looks beautiful, but if you think about it carefully, it is also inexplicable. If I were
If Zhang Zhong is concerned, I will at least spend some time to write more about the relationship between the characters..."
Kong Zhou proudly posted the article he had just written on Weibo, and suddenly received a call. It was the editor of "Metropolitan Literature". He couldn't help but rub his hands, and asked for another article?
"Teacher Kong, there is something wrong with the manuscript we finalized last time and there is no way to publish it in the column."
After the other party said a simple sentence, he hung up the phone.
Kong Zhou was sitting in front of the computer in a daze. What was going on? The other party didn't even give him a chance to ask questions.
Rejected?
The meaning is obvious, it is to reject the manuscript.
But, why, when they came to book a manuscript before, they acted like grandsons, but now they just back out?
No, call and ask.
But before he made the call, another call came, this time from the "Cold Noodles" column team of Shonan Satellite TV.
"Teacher Kong, our contract may have to be terminated early."
Kong Zhou felt something was wrong, but he still said patiently, "If the contract is terminated early, then your column team should pay me liquidated damages."
The other party laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in the laughter, "It is clearly written in the contract. Because your unilateral force majeure caused the contract to be unable to proceed, we do not need to compensate you, and our column team also
I have the right to seek compensation from you."
"Seeking compensation from me? Did you make a mistake..."
Before Kong Zhou could finish asking, the other person hung up the phone.
The past two minutes and the next five minutes may be the darkest seven minutes of Kong Zhou's life.
In just seven minutes, he received five phone calls and ten text messages. Either the program team terminated the contract, or the column was rejected. There was even a magazine asking him to claim compensation, saying that he had caused them to lose a lot of money.
.
And in successive phone calls, he also figured out the reason why all this happened.
Not long ago, the Ministry of Culture issued a press release naming and criticizing the "famous literary critic" Kong Zhou.
"Inappropriate remarks harm social morals and have extremely bad effects."
"We must not encourage unhealthy tendencies, allow speculation to become the norm, and set a bad example."
Although there is no explicit ban, once such an announcement comes out, who else would dare to cooperate with Kong Zhou?
Not only have these TV stations and newspapers withdrawn, but even Weibo has taken action.
The news of "Kong Zhou scolding Zhang Zhong" that was originally high on the trend list suddenly disappeared.
Although Kong Zhou's whispers still have many Zhang Zhong fans to blast them, no matter how many comments there are, they just can't become popular.
Even if you don’t take the initiative to click on Kong Zhou’s WeChat homepage, even those who follow him will not be able to see his new updates.
Things got serious, and Kong Zhou began to panic.
But he really couldn't understand, just because he quarreled with Zhang Zhong?
Does Zhang Zhong have so much energy?
He had never had any trouble with Wang Yi or Zhuang Yu before.
…
When Zhang Zhong learned that Kong Zhou publicly apologized, he was a little surprised and wondered whether this guy had changed his mind and turned a new leaf.
But after seeing the Ministry of Culture's draft, he roughly understood that this guy had been severely beaten by society and had given up.
Zhang Zhong still doesn't understand why the Ministry of Culture issued such a notice.
Is it because of my own affairs, or did it happen to happen?
But no matter what, the current situation saves him a lot of trouble.
As for Kong Zhou's apology, of course he would not pay attention to it. He was neither prepared to forgive him nor to beat up the drowned dog.
However, Zhang Zhong's readers felt very happy about Kong Zhou's experience.
Some netizens also changed the couplet that Zhang Zhong posted before.
"There are people in the world who slander me, insult me, belittle me, laugh at me, bully me, and despise me. How should I deal with them?"
"You can tolerate him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, let him, respect him, ignore him. In two days, you can see him."
This couplet only changed two words, changing "several years" to "several days", but it seemed like a stroke of genius.
And what's even more clever is that someone also added a horizontal mark on the opposite side of this newly modified picture - Shishibao.
【Hahaha, Sha Diao netizens are so happy.】
[This wave of operations by Teacher Kong Zhou reminds me of the vegetative novel "Chameleon", which is so appropriate.]
[I think people in a vegetative state should write a book specifically for the image of Kong Zhou. This is a coward.]
[If Teacher Kong could still stand up and be tough at this time, I would admire him.]
[Haha, being tough? Gaining a good reputation? Can he do such a thing? 】
[I guess he won’t get a good reputation, after all, his reputation is completely ruined.]
…
Zhang Zhong didn't care about the joy of the netizens. He was looking at Peng Peng with a headache.
"Dad, aren't you happy that I have a holiday?" Pengpeng looked at his father's expression and asked strangely.
"Happy." Zhang Zhong forced out a smile.
Pengpeng school suddenly issued a notice, saying that due to the rectification of school facilities, the three, four and five days of this week will be closed, plus two days on the weekend, Pengpeng will have a five-day long holiday.
Normally, Zhang Zhong would be happy, but this Thursday he was going to give a lecture at Jiangyang University. There were only a few days left, and Jiangyang University had already notified him and was fully prepared. There was no way he could let go of the school now.
But the question is, what to do with Pengpeng.
He thought about it and decided to wait until Thursday to send Pengpeng to his father's small store. In the past, when Zhang Zhong was not discharged from the hospital, Pengpeng often stayed at her grandfather's place.
"Dad, please take me out to play during the holiday. Liu Minya went hiking in the mountains during the last holiday."
The last holiday Pengpeng mentioned was the Qingming Festival, which lasted for three days, but they spent one day going back to worship their ancestors.
Zhang Zhong held Pengpeng in his arms and said, "Okay, I will take you to climb the mountain in two days."
Pengpeng clapped her hands and said, "Then we must climb the highest and highest mountain, which is higher than the mountain Liu Minya climbed."
This girl wants to compare with her little sisters in everything.
"Okay, let's go climb the highest mountain." Zhang Zhong nodded and agreed.
There are no high mountains near Jiangyang, but Pengpeng has never climbed any mountain except Iris Mountain, so it should be easy to fool him.
