From the gift to the leaves, Wanxiang has shown a wild style in setting questions, which looks very casual and does not look like a regular writing competition at all.

In everyone's mind, the questions of each game should be drawn up in advance, then sealed into a confidential bag, and finally opened by the invigilator on the spot. This process is more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese students. Like Vientiane, it is too vague to take a few necklaces and earrings today and pick up a leaf tomorrow.

So after those eliminated students returned, they all said that the reason why they failed was not a matter of level, but that Wanxiang was fooling people. Some even angrily posted online and bombarded them, saying with a heartache that if they had known that Wanxiang was so unworthy, they would not have wasted this time at all.

Unfortunately, almost no one of the commenters is willing to stand on the side of the poster, but instead supports Vientiane on the one hand.

"The poster is a typical grape psychology. If Wanxiang suddenly sends a notice to the poster, I believe that the poster will turn into a fan in one second. The so-called deep love and deep hatred are the ones who are like the poster."

"I saw that the author's understanding of words is too narrow. Don't he know that everything can be written in writing, and everything he sees and feels is material. Since the author knows that the writing is all things, he should know that the article is tolerant of everything. If he sticks to everything, he will fall behind. From this, it can be seen that it is natural for the author to be eliminated."

This post did not cause much storm, but another post caused by this post attracted everyone's attention: [Is it arbitrary to return to nature or a long-planned intention - what I thought of from the title of the Wanxiang Symbol essay]

"The essay contest at Vientiane Academy should be the most sensational event in the education industry recently. It has to be said that Vientiane Academy has achieved such achievements today in less than ten years. Its rise speed is still very shocking. Even as a complete poor student, he is full of infinite curiosity and yearning for Vientiane."

"As we all know, the employment rate of graduates in Vientiane Academy has ranked first among all universities in the country for five consecutive years. Moreover, more than 75% of graduates are directly in executive positions in large and medium-sized companies. Some awesome players just left the school and stepped into the CEO office of a company. Pay attention, they, no, go, meet, and try!"

"Do you know why? Do you know what the trick is to get a high employment rate in Wanxiang? I can tell you that their trick is very simple, that is, the students they recruit. Even if they don't read a book for a day, they will find a job. No, they don't need to find a job at all, because those jobs are originally from their family!"

"Everyone understands it. You can be a director before entering the school. Those who can be a ceo are destined to be a ceo after they are born. We can only look up and look up. Don't hold on to those unrealistic fantasies, thinking that if you enter everything, you can turn into a phoenix."

"The above is the background. Let me talk to you about this essay contest for Wanxiang. I believe many friends have seen a post posted by an unlucky guy not long ago. Yes, that guy's words revealed a strong sour smell, so that all the commentators beat the poster to beat the poster. He licked Wanxiang anonymously. The poster can understand everyone's mood, but everyone seems to have missed a very important point, that is, Wanxiang's question is so casual, is it arbitrary to return to the essence or a long-planned intention?"

"In other words, is Vientiane choosing this method of question setting to facilitate the achievement of certain goals, such as cheating?"

"Another evidence that the poster raised this question is Liu Jingting, a contestant who won the two consecutive essays - I wonder if you have paid attention to this person's competition works. There are two articles that have been circulated so far: "Maggie's Gift" and "Necklace". Of course, these two short stories are indeed unique, especially the ending setting of the turn, which is refreshing, but the strange thing is why it is so coincidental. Why can Liu Jingting solve the questions in such a consistent way every time Wanxiang asks questions?"

"In summary, the poster might as well make a irresponsible reasoning. In order to set the signboard for the new Literature and Art Academy, Wanxiang specially wanted to promote a hero. Liu Jingting is the lucky one selected. I don't doubt Liu Jingting's strength, because there is no need to recruit a fool, which is too expensive, and there is a risk of self-slapping in the future, but I reasonably suspect that he was leaked in advance!

"From the posts of several eliminated candidates, we can see that this Liu Jingting classmate always handed in advance every time, and the style of the article is not much different every time. According to my guess, it is because of the characteristics of Liu Jingting that Wanxiang set up this game."

"Of course, I'm a canfly, and I really don't have the ability to shake the big tree in the world. I just have a little bit of my heart. Those students who have beautiful dreams and work hard to participate in the competition are sad and unfair. I hope that Liu Jingting can write some other styles of works. If you always reverse and reversal like this, you will be aesthetically exhausted. If you change your position, you will still be so brave. The poster will keep his mouth shut on the live broadcast."

Although this post has various loopholes and many inferences cannot stand scrutiny, because after the auditions and live knockouts, the Wanxiang essay hit too many students and accumulated too much resentment, so once this post was published, it immediately caused reprinting and heated discussions among netizens.

Three people can become tigers, and 30,000 people can become tiger spirits. What's even worse is that after this post was published, Liu Jingting's latest entry article "The Last Leaf" was posted on the official website of Wanxiang Symbolism.

"It's true that this style is still the same. Well, I have to like this story first. As for the others, let's make up for it yourself."

Therefore, the question about the leaked topic of Wanxiang symbolism triggered a wave of discussion again, which finally attracted the attention of the media. However, due to the complex background of Wanxiang, many powerful figures have emerged, and the media that dared to report did not dare to use a slight vocabulary to express their stance. They simply stated this phenomenon without commenting.

However, despite the total objective report, more and more people are beginning to notice this, including those heavyweights who have been rejected by Professor Kang Yuchang many times.

People standing at a high place value the most face issue. Although it is not a shame to be rejected by Kang Yuchang, they will eventually feel knotted and can only endure it, because if you take revenge with a clear sword and a sharp gun, it will be too expensive. After all, the other party is Kang Yuchang, who is full of talents all over the world, and you will end up in a bad situation if you are not careful.

I dare not vent my anger openly and have some interest in helping the fire. Therefore, after going around in circles, a certain climate has been formed after adding fuel to the fire from those who are interested and those who are not responsible.

...

At this time, Director Kang had just given everyone a new competition question, and everyone was staring at the twenty-six letters on the big screen.

Although the previous questions are a bit casual, they ultimately adhere to the romanticism inherited from traditional Chinese culture. They are very particular about picking it up easily and are just a little tricky, but what about these twenty-six letters?

Everyone knows that Director Kang once worked as a professor in the United States, but isn’t this a good Mandarin composition competition? What’s the point?

"Professor Kang, is this? Is this a requirement to write an English composition?" Finally, a student on the verge of collapse asked this question.

Professor Kang waved his hand and said, "Of course not. You can treat these letters as Chinese pinyin letters. As for what you want to write, there is still no special requirement, but the number of words needs to reach 10,000 words, which is the only requirement."

“When will it be done?”

"Tomorrow, I originally wanted to be tomorrow morning, but when I saw everyone eating flies, I would postpone it until 6pm tomorrow."

No one feels happy because of this delay.

"If there is no other problem, let's make arrangements freely."

After Professor Kang said that, he left the classroom, and the classroom suddenly exploded.

"Can anyone tell me what this is?"

"I can't see through it at all. What exactly does Professor Kang want to test us?"

"Above 10,000 words. Do you want to write a postgraduate thesis?"

...

The impatient student kept complaining about his confusion, and a few other students looked at the screen without saying a word. Liu Jingting belonged to the latter.

"What do you think?"

Xu Sen came to Liu Jingting at some point and looked at Liu Jingting with a slightly bitter smile on his face.

"It should be a divergent thinking type, and Professor Kang has not given any restrictions."

Xu Sen had to ask other questions, but suddenly realized something, and smiled and said, "Come on."

“Each one another.”

Liu Jingting was stunned for a while, and finally he shook his head habitually and smiled, and got up and left the classroom.

I already have an idea, but it is not convenient to start writing immediately. There are two reasons: First, writing immediately now will inevitably put a lot of pressure on other students, and in that atmosphere full of resentment and madness, it is really not suitable to start writing;

2. The article that Liu Jingting is about to write has too much influence. He could not predict how shock it would bring to this essay contest and even the entire Chinese literary world after it was released.

So, he needs to prepare and make some psychological preparations.

The discussion in the classroom has come to an end. The remaining students either learn from Liu Jingting and go out to look for inspiration, or sit quietly in the classroom, writing and drawing on manuscript paper, not knowing whether they are making an outline or recording keywords.

This situation continued until the evening. The students who stayed in the classroom had a clue and were ready to start writing and go out to find inspiration, including Liu Jingting, also returned to the classroom and turned on the computer.

At this moment, Teacher Yan Minghui walked into the classroom with a heavy face, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the podium.

"All eight classmates are there?" Asked, counting them himself, and after confirming the number of people, he said, "I told you about something unpleasant. Some problems with the essay competition were of course not related to you, or, well, it has to do with one of you."

The eight people looked at each other with confusion.

"A student who was eliminated from the top 16 before posted a complaining post online, accusing our competition of making questions too hasty. As a result, the post was used by someone who was interested and slandered us in advance for essay writing, and he won the first place in two rounds. To be precise, Liu Jingting, who ranked first in three rounds, was considered the target of our question-releasing questions, and this matter is being hyped online."

Everyone was surprised to hear this. Although the eight people present also had different opinions on the way to set the questions, especially the last additional question, they had many complaints, but they had made various psychological preparations since the first day of participating in the competition. They never thought that the road to Wanxiang would be smooth, and they would not naively expect that Wanxiang's essay competition would be as easy as the essay contest they had participated in before.

Therefore, whether it is the previous choice of one of the three necklaces, earrings, rings or leaves afterwards, they recognize them deep in their hearts and regard them as unique to all things.

Another important point is that they have overcome all obstacles to this day. Even if they do not expect everything, as one of the top eight contestants in the symbolic essays, they can definitely become a glorious mark in their resumes in the future.

Angry rebuke suddenly arose in the classroom, for netizens who don’t know the truth and those who hold grudges.

Yan Minghui reached out to suppress everyone's discussion and said, "So don't start writing first. Vice President Hu is discussing countermeasures with everyone, and Director Kang will come here soon, so everyone will wait patiently."

...

In fact, Director Kang Yuchang's first reaction when he heard the news was - no response.

At that time, he was chatting with his wife and daughter who was studying in MIT in the United States. After Hu Jian called him to tell him the news, he just said "oh". Then he said he would hang up the phone after waiting for the school.

"Is it an essay contest?" asked Mrs. Kang in the video. As the future dean of the Academy of Literature and Arts, she has been paying attention to this essay contest.

"Small things have nothing to do with the overall situation," Director Kang said lightly, then looked at his daughter and asked with a smile: "How is Ling Yue's recent study? Can she graduate successfully?"

"Dad, don't look at whose daughter I am?" Kang Lingyue paused briefly and continued: "I am a genius girl born in Wen Baojing in the mid-nine months of pregnancy."

"For so many years, this is still the trick. Use your mother to anger me."

"Otherwise, among the seniors I know, except Professor Doranton, my mother is better than you. I will definitely be better than my grandparents in the future, but is it still a little bit worse now?"

Kang Lingyue said shamelessly, but it is not surprising that she has such confidence. As the daughter of Kang Yuchang and Wen Baojing, she has the same legendary experience as Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory". After finishing her fifth grade at the age of twelve, she went directly to Brown University to study comparative literature and classical literature. At the age of 14, she completed her undergraduate degree and started to study for graduate school. She was about to graduate from the postgraduate school this year. She was about to graduate and was negotiating with her parents to return to China to work as a counselor at Vientiane Academy.

"I'll wait for you to surpass me the day."

"Don't worry, soon, by the way, remember to attend my graduation ceremony, and then our family of three will return home happily. Just think about it." Kang Lingyue said happily alone, completely ignoring the disapproval of the gradually revealed appearance of her parents' faces.

The family of three talked about the trivial matters of study and life for a while, and each went offline. Director Kang rushed to the school.

When the judges saw Director Kang, the expression on their faces finally relaxed. Hu Jian said with disdain: "Originally, we didn't have to pay attention to these things at all, but now it seems that we are doing essay competitions, and some people are also doing essays behind their backs, and they always have to come forward to suppress them."

Director Kang looked calm and said, "Please comfort the students first."

"Xiao Yan has been asked to go over and comfort him."

Director Kang nodded and said, "Director Hu, please tell me the whole story in detail."

Hu Jian said the general content of the two posts. Director Kang smiled after hearing this, "So that's it, let's do it. Since the matter is related to Xiao Liu, ask him to come and talk about his opinion."

A young judge rushed out of the office and called for someone.

In less than a minute, Liu Jingting appeared in front of the judges with some embarrassment, and everyone focused their eyes on him, as if they were dreaming.

"Student Liu Jingting, do you know it?"

Liu Jingting, who has the identity of "Gu Yongsheng", knew too well about this kind of thing, nodded and said, "A villain is at work."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Their questions are leaking, so I think we might as well make this additional question from Professor Kang, and invite all the doubters across the country to write an article, and then everyone will make a public pk. If possible, I can give them an hour. If they are not satisfied, I will spare another five minutes."

Liu Jingting, who was like a shy big boy, said this without panic. When the judges present heard it, every word was like thunder and exploded. Even the famous author on the front line in China might not dare to speak out the crazy words of challenging writers across the country. The Liu Jingting in front of him said it for granted.

Director Kang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Don't you feel troublesome?"

Liu Jingting also laughed and said, "Didn't they say you want to praise me? Then I'll praise you in front of them, I'll be fine."

When everyone heard "I'm fine", they suddenly understood why this boy said that. He must have felt insulted and must have been very angry.

"Okay, that's the decision, Dean Hu, let out the meaning of Liu Jingting and post a hero."

President Hu glanced at Liu Jingting, with an unknown smile on his lips, and took out his phone.

...

At 7:30 pm, "Heroic Posts" were hung in the most eye-catching position on the homepage of the Wanxiang Symbol Essay official website. One stone caused thousands of waves. Only then did the biggest essay contest begin.

After a series of interpretations by netizens, this heroic post finally became "rejuvenation of the name of the symbolic text of all symbols, and the three-wheel champion Liu Jingting single-handedly challenged the writers of the country!"

Then, the official website posted a summary of the essay contest until now, clarifying that the last two questions were given by Director Kang, and said in one stroke: "The hero post is Liu Jingting's own meaning, it has nothing to do with arrogance, but to prove and correct the name. Like all people in the world, in order to defend the honor of the academy, everyone is always willing to do something crazy."

Chapter completed!
