Zhang Junwei was not the only one rubbing his eyes. Others followed Zhang Junwei's eyes and when they saw Zhang Zhong, their reactions were no different from Zhang Junwei's.
"Long time no see, how are you?" Zhang Zhong took the initiative to say hello.
When others heard Zhang Zhong speak, they felt as if they were dreaming.
It was Tong Can who reacted first, stood up and waved to Zhang Zhong, "Boss, come and sit here."
Zhang Zhong, however, waved his hand and said to the person furthest to the side, "Please squeeze in and leave some space for us."
Although I felt that it was not good for Zhang Zhong to sit on the outside, after hearing what he said, the people in this row still involuntarily squeezed in.
After the seat was empty, Zhang Zhong pulled Xu Yuhan to sit down.
"What were you discussing just now?"
Zhang Junwei also came to his senses at this moment, holding a small blackboard and said, "Some members reported that the Green Field Bookstore is a bit small and cannot accommodate too many people at each reading club. Many members who want to participate in the reading club cannot get in.
.So I will take this opportunity to ask everyone for their opinions and see if there are any solutions."
"That's it." Zhang Zhong nodded, "Then let's move to a bigger place."
"We think so, so we are now discussing where to change. Originally Qi Lili suggested that everyone go to the Hope Exhibition Hall, where the work exhibition area has a large space and can also contribute to the exhibition hall's income. But I think
The cost of going to the exhibition hall is too high," Zhang Junwei said.
"Well, it's really not necessary." Zhang Zhong nodded, and then he thought of the theme bookstore Qin Cheng mentioned before, and said, "Since I am also a member, I should also contribute, so let me help you later.
You contact a place and if it can be done, please go and talk to Zhang Junwei."
Zhang Junwei smiled and said, "That's great."
There is no need to consider the location of the book club for the time being, but at this moment Zhang Junwei doesn't know how to carry out the gathering of old members.
He never expected that Zhang Zhong would really come.
Two months ago, Zhang Junwei called Zhang Zhong to talk about quotations, and they casually talked about this gathering of old members.
At that time, Zhang Zhong did smile and said that he would come and have a look if he had time, but Zhang Junwei thought he was just saying it casually. After all, Zhang Zhong is so busy now. I heard that he couldn't be invited to many activities, so why did he come here?
Come to some old members gathering.
It was also because he had not thought that Zhang Zhong would come, so Zhang Junwei planned in advance that today's gathering would first discuss the location of the book club, and then everyone would talk about "Lord of the Flies" and the Goncourt Literary Prize, and then talk about the new book "The Call of the Wild".
Afterwards, we share our reading experiences like a normal book club.
But now that Zhang Zhong is here, it seems a little inappropriate to discuss these things.
It was Tong Can who reacted quickly. He said with a smile, "Didn't each of you just say that you are very happy that the boss won the award? Now the boss is here, and you are silent. Come on, come on, let's say some lucky words.
ah."
Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "You are the only one with more good luck words. Since this is a gathering of old friends, everyone should relax a little and just treat me as member number three today."
After saying that, he also took out the nameplate that had been issued by the previous reading club.
Seeing that Zhang Zhong still kept the nameplate from that time, everyone was a little touched and took out their own nameplates one after another.
In fact, this batch of nameplates they had was out of print. Later, the reading club's nameplates changed their appearance. Both the material and the design were better than the first batch they had.
However, no matter how backward this batch of nameplates are, everyone still regards them as treasures because they have special meaning.
Zhang Zhong looked at the nameplate in the hand of the fat man next to him and said with a smile, "Brother Hu, do you still remember that three three make nine?"
This fat man was Hu Jingzhi who was sitting next to Zhang Zhong at that time. I still remember that during the first reading meeting, Hu Jingzhi was sitting next to Zhang Zhong. At first, this guy was taciturn. Zhang Zhong thought he was a mature and prudent person. Did he go there?
I thought that in the end I found out that he was a talkative and funny person.
Hu Jingzhi touched her head and said, "Remember, remember, three three equal nine."
He didn't expect that Zhang Zhong would still remember him after a few years, which made him a little excited.
However, time has changed, and now that he knows Zhang Zhong's identity, there is naturally no way for him to make jokes with him like before.
"Boss, you don't know, I have been tortured by you these days. Our teacher talks about your works every day, about literary ethics criticism, symbolic meaning, and structural subjectivity. It makes my head spin.
"After all, Tong Can was relatively familiar with Zhang Zhong. Seeing that everyone was a little reserved, he took the initiative to pick up the topic.
Zhang Zhong looked at Tong Can with a sad face and thought to himself that Tong Can deserved it all. He went to Jinling Normal University to study for graduate school for no reason, and even took the postgraduate entrance examination for modern literature. Isn't this looking for sin?
Tong Can loves reading more than ordinary people, but his literary foundation is not strong. Literature majors are not about reading more books than anyone else. Many people who like reading will definitely subvert their three views if they really study literature-related majors.
In Zhang Zhong’s view, studying literature will definitely make people feel that reading has become a boring thing for a period of time at the beginning. Only after you really learn it, will you find the joy of reading again, but it is a different kind of happiness.
Happy.
There are also two other students majoring in literature who are present here. They all felt the same when they heard what Tong Can said. One of them, Qiao Shan, said, "My graduation thesis is related to "A Murder Case that was Publicized in advance." Recently,
I’ve been looking for information, but it’s really hard to find information on narrative, and I’m also having a headache.”
Zhang Zhong raised his chin and asked, "Have you ever heard of narrative time interval?"
"No." Qiao Shan shook his head, and the others also shook their heads because it was the first time they heard this word.
Their reaction was expected by Zhang Zhong. In fact, the concept of narrative time interval was proposed by Genette in his "Narrative Discourse".
"Narrative duration is the comparison of story time and narrative time. Based on this comparative relationship, duration can be divided into four basic forms: summary, scene, pause, omission..."
Because Qiao Shan mentioned "A Murder Case That Was Publicized in Advance" and mentioned materials that were convenient for narrative, Zhang Zhong picked some things from "Narrative Discourse" that he felt were useful and told them to Qiao Shan and others.
However, considering that this was just an ordinary gathering and not everyone present was a literature major, he did not speak much and only talked about some important conceptual things.
