The exchange meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and everyone spoke.
Zhang Zhong took the microphone and said, "Actually, this exchange meeting will be broadcast live online. I just heard that tens of thousands of viewers watched the live broadcast online. We also conducted an online and offline interaction and collected some information from the audience.
The audience is most interested in knowing the answer to the question, so I’ll read it to you here.”
"The first question should be of more concern to the graduating seniors. They would like to ask if you can give them some advice on the upcoming college entrance examination."
Zhang Zhong actually felt that this question was meaningless, but since it was a question that many viewers were concerned about, and it did not deviate from the theme of today's exchange meeting, he read it out.
"Teacher Li Lifan, can you tell the audience?" Zhang Zhong directly raised the topic to Li Lifan.
Li Lifan picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "I think the audience asked the wrong person. Most of you here are teachers, but as far as I know, except for Teacher Fang Yafang, who had the experience of teaching primary and secondary schools in the countryside in his early years,
None of the others have ever been middle school teachers."
"Furthermore, I think even if Mr. Fang has taught in a middle school, he may not be able to understand the college entrance examination better than the current middle school teachers. The advice we can give is to let the students calm down, eat well, drink well and sleep well.
Listen carefully to the teacher and take it step by step. This is my opinion. Do other teachers have anything to add? Teacher Fang should have a say."
Fang Ya twisted his butt, adjusted his sitting posture, and said, "You said that I don't understand the college entrance examination better than the current middle school teachers. What right do I have to say? But you are right, I really don't have any say. Already.
At this time, I think parents of students should do a good job and not put too much pressure on students. The exam is the students' own business, and parents only need to do the logistics."
Zhang Zhong agreed with what Li Lifan and Fang Ya said. He did not continue the topic, but read the second question.
"The second question, this question is asked to Mr. Zhuang Yu alone: Mr. Zhuang Yu, do you have any suggestions for science students who want to engage in literature-related work?"
Zhuang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure this question is not for you?"
"I am indeed asking you." Zhang Zhong smiled.
"Actually, I don't have any advice. Just do whatever you want. My plan back then was to be a doctor and write at the same time. Later, I made some money by writing while I was in school. After I had a living security, I simply didn't go to the hospital and became a full-time writer.
"But my experience has no reference. If I hadn't been lucky enough to make some money, I wouldn't have had the courage to put down my job and concentrate on creating. After all, I studied medicine for five years," Zhuang Yu recalled of himself.
He was deeply touched by his experience of abandoning medicine to pursue literature. He looked at Yu Dongyu again and said, "Isn't there an electrician here? Let him talk about it."
Yu Dongyu didn't expect that Zhuang Yu would bring the topic to him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, "I still think that young people who want to engage in literary creation should have some kind of life, find a job, and write in their spare time to earn money.
After money, you should consider whether you really want to engage in this industry. Whether you want to make money or really love literature, you must first consider life issues."
Both of them spoke very realistically and directly.
Zhang nodded and continued to ask the next question: "Some friends are relatively close..."
——————
The exchange meeting lasted for more than two hours, and everyone on the stage was a little tired. Zhang Zhong ended the exchange meeting in time.
However, the exchange meeting is not over yet. It will start tomorrow morning and there are still several processes, such as visiting the college, teacher-student exchanges, and teaching seminars.
After coming out of the auditorium of Shizhong College, Zhang Zhong took the school bus to Hongyunlai Hotel with representatives from each school.
Yang Xiao booked the hotel, and Zhang Zhong was a little surprised when he found out that Hong Yun had booked the hotel.
The reason why Yang Xiao booked Hongyunlai Hotel was that not only was Hongyunlai Hotel ranked among the best in Jiangyang City, but the owner was also very enthusiastic. Hearing that it was Shizhong College who had booked a banquet, he gave her a half discount without saying a word.
Of course Yang Xiao didn't care about the money, but he didn't mind saving some money either, so he just booked the hotel at Hongyunlai Hotel.
When they arrived at Hongyun, hotel general manager Lin Ruoshui and a group of waiters greeted them at the door. When he saw Zhang Zhong, he ran over quickly and said, "Teacher Zhang, long time no see, long time no see."
Yang Xiao next to him listened to Lin Ruoshui's words and cast a questioning look at Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Chong explained with a smile, "I used to come to Hongyun often for dinner, and I am also acquainted with Mr. Lin."
Yang Xiao showed an expression of sudden realization, thinking that no wonder Mr. Lin gave him a discount without saying a word when he heard that he was from Shizhong College. It turned out to be because of Dean Zhang's face.
Zhang Zhong looked at Lin Ruoshui and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin has become thinner and thinner recently. If you continue to lose weight, I won't recognize you anymore."
When other people saw Lin Ruoshui's figure, they were full of question marks. The hotel general manager's figure could not be called thin. Standing next to Zhang Zhong, he was much bigger than Zhang Zhong.
But if they knew what Lin Ruoshui looked like before, they would probably agree with Zhang Zhong's words.
Lin Ruoshui is only slightly chubby now, which is completely different from her former fleshy appearance.
"I have arranged for you to stay in a small box on the second floor. Although the space is small, it is absolutely comfortable. There were originally ten tables in this box, but I asked them to replace it with eight larger tables. I will take you
past."
Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded, "That's good work."
After a group of people went up to the second floor and entered the private room, they found that Lin Ruoshui's previous remarks were absolutely modest. This private room was not as simple as comfort. Beautiful handmade carpets, atmospheric chandeliers...everywhere reflected one word - money.
The handmade carpets they stepped on usually only appear in presidential suites in high-end hotels. Using this kind of carpet in a large banquet box like this is definitely luxurious.
Even Yang Xiao, a top second-generation rich man, was a little surprised to see such a carpet spread in the banquet box.
Zhang Zhong looked at the carpet under his feet, smiled and said to Lin Ruoshui, "Isn't this a little too grand?"
Lin Ruoshui waved her hands and said, "Teacher Zhang, you are so polite. I think this is worthy of your status. It is the store's honor for you to come to the store. This is nothing."
"The main reason is that the carpet is so good that I'm afraid it will be damaged if I step on it." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Haha, Teacher Zhang, don't make fun of me. What do these things mean to you? Sit down and I'll tell the chef to serve you food."
Looking at Lin Ruoshui's back, Yang smiled and sighed, "This guy is not simple."
(ps: I saw the news today that the college entrance examination has been postponed for one month. Students who have to take the exam can relax. I remember that before SARS, it seemed that the college entrance examination was in July. I don’t know if I remember correctly. I had not yet taken the college entrance examination at that time.)
