Ye Lan and Zuo Ziliang returned to the box, told Cheng Xing about the agreement they had just made, and asked him if he had any objections. Cheng Xing was still immersed in Wang Zixu's script and didn't know if he heard it, so he nodded hastily in agreement.

So Ye Lan forwarded Cheng Xing's sample manuscript to Zuo Ziliang, who then sent the sample manuscript to the group of speech therapists.

As soon as the operation was completed, Ye Lan snatched Zuo Ziliang's mobile phone. Zuo Ziliang frowned, and she said with a proud smile:

"Sorry, I will keep your phone for the time being to prevent you from giving reminders to the speech therapist. From now on, I will be waiting here for another 30 minutes. More than three people have raised questions. Even if you win, everyone is willing to admit defeat. How about that?

"

Zuo Ziliang said: "Then please return the phone to me first, and I'll go to the toilet."

Ye Lan said: "You go ahead. Put your phone here and I will keep it."

Zuo Ziliang said: "Ye Lan, it's boring for you to do this."

Ye Lan said: "Damn it, Zuo Ziliang, who can't afford to play tricks? Who wants to play tricks?"

Zuo Ziliang lay down and pressed his forehead. Ye Lan had a victorious expression, she had already taken control of the situation.

Zuo Ziliang raised his head and said: "Then let me add another notice. Just send it without marking the author. Even if someone feels that the script is wrong, they will only think that the scripter is perfunctory and will not think that it is a substitution."

Ye Lan shook her head. She made up her mind not to let Zuo Ziliang touch the phone again.

"Zuo Ziliang, we just agreed that we are willing to admit defeat. If you can't afford it, don't play."

Zuo Ziliang said: "I can't afford it, but this bet is inherently unfair to the little prince."

Ye Lan frowned: "Isn't it fair to the little prince? Zuo Ziliang, what is your company here for? It's enough to be fair to the company, why should you be fair to the little prince?"

Zuo Ziliang sighed and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you."

…

Wang Zixu picked up the wine glass and pointed it in the direction of Guo Ranran.

"Xiao Guo, speaking of which, you toasted me just now and I haven't greeted you back yet, so I'll toast you."

Guo Ranran picked up the wine glass, and the two of them clinked a glass in the air. Before drinking, Wang Zixu said:

"Xiao Guo, I am crazy about how many years older you are, but I am not relying on my old age to show off my old age. I read a sentence in a book and share it with you here - it is better to judge others by yourself than to judge others by yourself. I hope you will think more about it."

After that, he drank it all in one gulp. But Guo Ranran held the cup and was confused for a long time.

As soon as she licked that sentence, she felt that Wang Zixu was mocking herself, saying that she was trying to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart! She immediately blushed with anger, but she couldn't refute it.

No one else at the table noticed this episode. Lin Feng lowered his head to eat the food, then raised his head and said: "Brother Wang, wait for me for a while, wait for me to take a few bites of the food, and then I will compete with you."

A comrade from the inspection team saw the opportunity and picked up the cup and said to Wang Zixu:

"Brother Wang, you are a little more powerful than we thought. I think we need to increase your strength. We can't just let Mr. Lin deal with you alone. Come on, let me toast you."

Zhang Cangnian was happy and said, "Okay, you guys are going to do some extra tricks, right? Get Xiao Wang drunk and he will faint. When he is fainted, he won't be able to answer the question."

Others were not aware of this at first, but Zhang Cannian woke them up and raised their glasses in honor of Wang Zixu.

Zhang Cannian picked up the wine glass and said, "That won't work. Our unit must also take action. We can't let all their firepower pour on Xiao Wang alone?"

However, after he finished speaking, no one responded to the call. The leader was holding the cup and hesitated, not knowing whether he should help charge into the battle.

A comrade from the inspection team nearby said: "That won't work. Even if you want to help carry the firepower, we still have to pay tribute to Comrade Xiao Wang."

So everyone on Lin Feng's side raised their glasses and took turns to toast Wang Zixu. Wang Zixu drank five or six glasses of wine one after another. He was just a little tipsy just now, but now he was completely fainted and felt like the world was spinning.

Next to him, Lin Feng finished his food, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed:

"Brother Wang, your knowledge is very profound, but your drinking capacity needs to be improved! Brother, my drinking capacity is still a little better than yours. It depends on my overall quality. Don't blame me for taking advantage of you. I will give you another difficult test, Tuosi

Toyevsky!”

Guo Ranran lowered his head and frantically checked Baidu on his mobile phone, while shouting: "Wait a minute, what? What about the hunchback?"

"Dostoevsky, Dostoevsky, replaced the hunchback's radical with a left ear knife..."

Wang Zixu closed his eyes again, breathed evenly, and said, "No need to check."

Lin Feng turned back with a hint of hope: "Have you never heard of the writer Dostoyevsky?"

Wang Zixu said: "How could it be? I can vividly recall the plot of each of his books.

"The Insulted and Damaged, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov. The Brothers Karamazov is a posthumous work and has not been completed, but it is an eternal pearl in the history of literature."

Lin Feng held the cup in silence for a long time, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Before Guo Ranran could type out a few words, he saw that Lin Feng had already drank, and he couldn't help but put down his hands in despair.

The leader patted Wang Zixu on the back and asked, "Xiao Wang, are you okay? Can you still hold on?"

Wang Zixu shook his head: "It's okay, come on!"

Lin Feng was already a bit tongue-tied and said: "Dostoyevsky can't even trouble you. It seems that I have to change my strategy a little."

After shaking his head and thinking for a while, he continued: "It seems that you are very familiar with Western writers, so let me test your Eastern writer, Kawabata Yasunari!"

Wang Zixu said: "I don't read many Japanese writers."

A victorious smile appeared on Lin Feng's face, but before he could be happy too early, Wang Zixu continued:

"Snow Country, Thousand Cranes, Ancient Capital, and Sound of the Mountain. These are his main works."

Lin Feng's smile froze on his face.

Guo Ranran on the side suddenly jumped up holding her cell phone and said: "You missed one!"

Wang Zixu turned to look at her: "Which one did I miss?"

Guo Ranran said: ""The Dancer of Izu", Baidu Encyclopedia said, this is his important work!"

Wang Zixu said: "I know. "The Dancing Girl of Izu" is his debut novel. I have read it, but the reason why I did not mention this work is because it is only a short story, so I did not rank it with the medium-length novel.

"

Guo Ranran tilted her mouth and said: "Hey, I've already exposed my name, now it's up to you to say whatever you want? I also said I've seen it too."

Wang Zixu said calmly: "I have really seen it. And I can also recite it."

Guo Ranran looked at him with wide eyes.

"'The mountain road became winding and winding, and we were almost reaching Tiancheng Ridge. At this time, the white shower shrouded the dense cedar forest, sweeping towards me from the foothills of the mountain.

"'I was twenty years old at the time, wearing a high school hat, a navy blue and white patterned top and culottes, and a student schoolbag on my shoulder. It was already the fourth day of my trip to Izu. I rested at Shuzenji Onsen.

After one night and two nights at Yushima Onsen, I climbed up Mount Amagi with high-toothed wooden clogs. The overlapping mountains, primitive forests, deep valleys, and autumn colors are really dizzying. But my heart

But it's beating hard. Because a hope is urging me to hurry...'"

After reading this long paragraph, Wang Zixu paused and said:

"This is the translation by Ye Weiqu and Tang Yuemei, and it is also one of my favorite translations. Do you want me to continue to memorize it?"

There was silence at the table. Everyone stared at Wang Zixu like a madman.

After a long time, Guo Ranran said, "Why do you memorize it?"

Wang Zixu said: "Because Kawabata Yasunari was the winner of the 1968 Nobel Prize for Literature."

This question and answer seem to be completely different from each other. Only Wang Zixu knows the cause and effect relationship.

That was his lonely journey.

Lin Feng stood up with a serious expression. He held Wang Zixu's shoulder with his left hand, raised the wine glass with his right hand and said:

"Everyone, listen to what I have to say.

"If I hadn't come to your unit for inspection today, I wouldn't have known that there was such a strange person as Brother Wang in our city. I used to be so ignorant and ignorant. Talents like this should have made a name for themselves in the literary world long ago. This is my

The Vice Chairman of the Writers Association failed in his duty and I did not dig him out. Today I am criticizing myself and punishing myself with three glasses of wine."

The leader on the side quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, you are serious."

Looking at Lin Feng's eyes, he quickly raised his glass and said, "I am the one who deserves the punishment. If it hadn't been for today, I wouldn't have known that Xiao Wang was such a coward and paid less attention to his comrades. I will punish myself with three glasses of wine."

The biggest person in the two seats stood up, and the others also stood up and raised their glasses with such ferocity that they immediately blocked all the light on the table.
Chapter completed!
