Chapter Nine hundred and Seven: Honorary Vice President

A few days later, Meng Huo set off to Yanjing, and Xi Wenlin was by his side.

The main purpose of Meng Huo coming to Yanjing this time was to participate in the speech of the Huaxia Reasoning Association. Xi Wenlin was a middle-communicator with the association, so it was naturally indispensable. The Huaxia Reasoning Association's headquarters is located in an ordinary building on the Third Ring Road in Yanjing. In order to welcome Meng Huo's arrival, the members of the association also made a special cleaning.

Therefore, Meng Huo's favor for the association increased a lot after arriving. It is said that Yanjing and all the surrounding reasoning writers also came to the scene, but Meng Huo did not know much authenticity. However, the association's headquarters was indeed crowded, and the aisles of the venue were full of people.

"It's like chasing stars..." Xi Wenlin thought behind Meng Huo. He had been to the association's headquarters once before, and vaguely remembered that the headquarters was very deserted. But today it can be said that it was difficult to move forward, and it was not surprising that these reasoning writers were chasing stars.

He was proud of Meng Huo from the bottom of his heart, but Meng Huo's pressure became very great because of such a scene.

"I said to President Qin, isn't this too many people... You asked me to give a speech in front of so many experts, wouldn't I let my class show off?" He said to the president of the Reasoning Association. The venue was filled with reasoning writers, and there were too many "reasoning" experts in it.

Meng Huo can talk a few more words in a speech in a general sense, but how could he have the courage to show off his skills in such a grand scene? When it comes to his understanding of "reasoning", Meng Huo knew in his heart that his reasoning ability was completely impossible to compare with these "experts".

Many of the writers here have been studying "reasoning" for life. Not to mention Meng Huo, even the original author of "Detective Conan", I guess they don't have the confidence to talk to so many experts.

In fact, although "Detective Conan" is a mystery comic, the reasoning skills shown in this work are not particularly powerful. Instead, they tend to be entertaining mystery stories. In Meng Huo's previous life, it was considered an unqualified mystery work by many people.

"It doesn't matter. We don't want to ask Teacher He Xi for your reasoning techniques." The president of the Huaxia Reasoning Association said with a respectful year, carefully: "Teacher, talk to us about how to make the reasoning stories more fun and attract the younger generation. Just give us a guide to the direction of the reasoning works."

Although Meng Huo did not show any arrogance, the president, like other reasoning writers, seemed very reserved in the process of receiving Meng Huo. Meng Huo said several times that he didn't have to be so reserved. However, it had no effect and he ignored it now.

"So that's it, the direction is going..." After hearing the president's words, Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief. He could say that the reasoning works in his previous life were more mature than the world. Although Meng Huo was not a senior reasoning fan, he had some understanding of the home and abroad of the reasoning works, and it was not a problem to give some direction guidance.

The key is that the development of reasoning in this world is too backward and there are not many schools - I really don’t understand why these reasoning writers have such a dead mind.

With such doubts, Meng Huo started today's speech. It was said to be a speech, but when it was actually conducted, it was more like a teacher's lecture. Meng Huo found some future research directions in his memory and told them. But at the same time, he also allowed the writers to ask questions and use dialogue to solve their doubts in their hearts.

This kind of lecture method is better than the speech, and the time has been delayed again and again, from the expected half an hour to one hour, and then to two hours - Meng Huo drank two bottles of water during the period, and the association also brought Meng Huo a stool on the stage in the middle so that he would not stand all the time.

It was already noon after the lecture, and some writers wanted to continue asking, but officials from the Reasoning Association were still worried that Meng Huo could not bear it, so they took the initiative to help end the lecture and invited Meng Huo to have lunch.

All the senior executives of the association attended the lunch period. As guests, only Xi Wenlin and Meng Huo were grateful for their warmth, and Xi Wenlin was shocked to receive toasts from several people.

"Thank you so much, Teacher He Xi, after listening to your lecture today, many of the fogs we face suddenly became cheerful!" At the end, at the time of farewell, the president of the association handed a red notebook to Meng Huo: "Because I really don't know what gift to use to thank you, thank you... please accept this..."

Meng Huo opened the book and saw that it turned out to be a letter of appointment, which gave Meng Huo a big title - "Lifetime Honorary Vice President of the Chinese Reasoning Association".

Honorary Vice President, this title is like a visiting professor, not a formal vice president of the association, and has no real power, but it is a symbol of identity. If you accept this letter of appointment, Meng Huo will become the true Taishan Beidou in the world of reasoning.

"Is this a bit too heavy?" Meng Huo closed the appointment letter and wanted to return him to the president.

"No, no...this is what you deserve!" The president waved his hand and refused, saying, "Teacher He Xi will take it. This title will not require you to do anything. Moreover, "Detective Conan" is the most popular mystery work today. You have helped us so much today. You will take this appointment letter!"

Meng Huo shook his head: "I didn't help much today, just a speech..."

"The speech is enough!" Before he finished speaking, the president interrupted: "Today's speech was more effective than I expected. Some of our stubborn old men have been convinced by you. In the future, the Reasoning Association will be able to carry out drastic reforms - thanks to you."

The officials around the president also agreed. Several of them were originally traditionalists, but after watching the lectures and interactions this morning, their concepts did change and knew that the association would not be able to do without reform.

"Teacher, you probably won't mind that we take advantage of you, right?" An official stood up and said, "This honorary vice president's title does not mean much to you, but it does a lot of benefits to our association."

"If you can't give you a suitable identity to Teacher He Xi, the world should think that our association is not right."

Another official said that if He Xi accepted the honorary appointment letter, the benefits obtained by the Reasoning Association are indeed greater than He Xi's. With He Xi's current identity, it doesn't matter whether he has this identity in the Reasoning Association. However, the Reasoning Association has had an embarrassing place for many years. In the matter of "the most popular reasoning writer in China is not the writer of the Reasoning Association." They also need to win over He Xi to regain their position.

Meng Huo laughed. At first he really didn't want to accept the appointment letter, but after hearing what these association officials said so bluntly, his ideas changed.

"Okay, I'll take it first." He took the appointment letter back and smiled, "But if one day I find something wrong with this appointment letter, I don't rule out that I'll tear it up!"

Because there was no signing document, Meng Huo retained the initiative. If one day the Reasoning Association made any excessive request, he would definitely announce his withdrawal publicly and then tear the appointment letter. If this happens, the Reasoning Association will be completely irrelevant.

"Oh, of course!" The president was startled and sweated down. But his thoughts did not change. In fact, after a morning of observation, he also realized that He Xi was not a person with an excessive personality, and his xiongyou was as broad as the rumored one.

Such people are suitable for respect and love as friends, and a letter of appointment may also become a channel for their association to communicate with He Xi in the future.

"Actually, I should have handed the appointment letter to him four years ago..." After saying goodbye to Meng Huo and got into the car, the president sighed in his heart. If they had presented the appointment letter to Meng Huo after the release of "Detective Conan", what honor would have been for Meng Huo at that time, and would have had great positive benefits to their association.

But only four years gap, the value of this certificate is gone...

As soon as Meng Huo got into the car, he stuffed the red certificate into his duffel bag. Xi Wenlin looked at his movements with envy and envy: "Teacher, you are a waste, what if you hurt that certificate? That certificate is a treasure!"

"baby?"

"Yes, baby." Xi Wenlin nodded. Although the Chinese Reasoning Association is not a popular association, it is still a national association and a highly respected and highly literary association. This honorary vice president will be respected on many occasions.

"Isn't it just about the same level as a university professor?" Meng Huo disagreed.

"University professor!" Xi Wenlin was stunned and almost laughed: "Teacher, you underestimate it too much. Do you know that the entry standards of the Chinese Reasoning Association are equivalent to those of a university professor?"

Meng Huo was stunned and opened his eyes wide in surprise: "I really don't know this. I thought anyone could enter!" Isn't this the same as the Writers Association? But even a member of the Huaxia Writers Association may not necessarily require the level of a university professor to get started!

Xi Wenlin explained that the traditional nature of the Reasoning Association is not only reflected in its adherence to the Reasoning Culture, but also in its personnel structure. Although the Reasoning Association is not an organization in the Chinese government, it was a genuine literary research association of the government when it was born in the past.

Although it was later abolished, the current relationship between the Chinese Reasoning Association and the government is also very close. Many officials still enjoy the government's business establishment, and the funding is fully supported by the government.

The introductory standards of the reasoning association are still the same as in the past. They not only require academic qualifications, but also excellent performance in reasoning magazines and books. Therefore, there are actually not many formal members of the association, with only about one thousand people in the country and dozens of people in each province. Therefore, each member has a good identity - the title of honorary vice president, which is naturally quite amazing.

Meng Huo was surprised to hear it, but he thought: "No, according to what you said, there are only one thousand people in the country, but how could there be so many reasoning writers coming to listen to my speech today?"

"Reasoning writers do not mean they are members of the association." Xi Wenlin patted his head. The teacher really didn't know anything: "Most of them are alternate members and have to pay a lot of membership fees every year. Some of them are members of the reasoning clubs under the association, so their identities are even more serious."

Meng Huo was speechless. No wonder the reasoning association was dead. It was just like the Go world and didn't know how to adapt! However, he did not change his view on the appointment letter because of this. No matter how high his status is, it is useless to him now.

"By the way, what about you?" He then became curious: "Aren't you a member of the association?"

"I..." However, when talking about this topic, Xi Wenlin blushed a little: "I am indeed a member of the Reasoning Association, but this is still a blessing for you by your teacher."

The process of Xi Wenlin becoming a member of the China Reasoning Association was a bit accidental. Although he received a good education and had sufficient diplomas and qualifications, he had no chance to win any reasoning awards, nor had he written popular reasoning works - his shortlist was entirely because of Meng Huo.

After "Detective Conan" became popular, the Reasoning Association had always wanted to contact Meng Huo, but it was also full of concerns. In this case, they promoted Xi Wenlin, who was still an alternate member at the time, to a formal member, and made plans to contact Meng Huo in advance.

"My achievements do not meet the conditions of a formal membership, but they promoted me to the extreme on the grounds that I was the comic assistant of "Detective Conan"!" Xi Wenlin said this. Although this promotion method is strange, it is reasonable. Because Xi Wenlin is indeed not an ordinary assistant of "Detective Conan", many cases in the comic were designed by him, and the popularity of this comic completely exceeds the standards of the association.

After becoming a member of the Reasoning Association, Xi Wenlin's social status changed greatly. In fact, even when attending the parent meeting of his children last year, the head teacher did not know that he was an assistant to "Detective Conan". He respected him very much because of his identity as a member of the Reasoning Association. Even the head of the primary school teaching at that time came to meet him.

So he knew how valuable the title of "Honorary Vice President of the Reasoning Association" was. Seeing Meng Huo's understatement of the appointment letter, he was naturally envious and helpless - Teacher He Xi always achieved achievements that others dared not imagine.

"But who said he was Teacher He Xi..." After thinking of Meng Huo's identity, Xi Wenlin sighed, feeling that he was too fussy. What was the reason for what happened to the teacher?

He shook his head and changed his mind: "By the way, teacher, why are there only one high-speed rail ticket back to Ninghai?"
