Confession of Rebirth

After Gu Chen returned to school, he didn't go to the tutor to sell his leave, but went to the library to deal with the remaining details of the essay competition.I also called the seniors from the Department of Literature and History, and informed them that the solicitation of essays will be launched on time at [-] o'clock.After getting an affirmative reply from the other party, he called Professor Xing to report the final progress of the essay preparation period.

It was only after Professor Xing arrived at school in the morning that he learned from the counselor that Gu Chen asked for leave to go to the hospital last night.After receiving a call from Gu Chen, he immediately asked, "How is your health? I told you that you were in a bad condition last night. It turned out that you were sick and hospitalized. If Teacher Zhang hadn't told me this morning, I wouldn't have known about it!"

"I'm fine." Gu Chen said with a smile, "Maybe it was because I had a stroke last night, and it hurt all night. It will be fine this morning."

"You should have told me last night." Professor Xing asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"There are no symptoms. All the tests that should be done have been done, and all indicators are normal."

"You should pay more attention to maintaining your body at ordinary times." Professor Xing complained: "With this physical fitness, I still talk about health preservation every day. It's not as good as an old man like me."

"Did you eat too little meat and your immune system is too weak?" Professor Xing said, "Come to my house this weekend! I'll ask your teacher to make you some ginseng chicken soup, so you can make up for it."

"No need." Gu Chen was embarrassed to bother Professor Xing's family, and immediately said, "I will take good care of myself."

Professor Xing also knew that his student's personality was too restrained, so he forced him to come to eat at home, I'm afraid Gu Chen would feel even more uncomfortable.I didn't mention it anymore, and changed the subject: "You can handle the essay competition according to your own discretion, don't tire yourself too much. You have done a good job."

At least it has far exceeded Professor Xing's estimate—Professor Xing originally thought that Gu Chen's essay solicitation activity was an essay contest held by the United Publishing House, and then he would find the media to report it!

Who would have thought that Gu Chen would not only hold an essay competition, but also a micro film competition.He actually got more than 300 million sponsorship fees in one day, and found support from a film and television company.

It can be predicted that no matter what the final result of Gu Chen's essay solicitation activity, the splash will be bigger than they expected.

Gu Chen chatted with Professor Xing for a few words before hanging up the phone.He leaned back in the chair a little tiredly, staring straight at the computer screen, with his eyes empty.Gu Chen was stunned for a while, then suddenly returned to his senses.Obsessive-compulsive, he checked the copywriting and various procedures of the essay solicitation activity over and over again, logged into his Weibo account half an hour in advance, posted the requirements and rewards of the essay solicitation activity on time at [-]:[-] noon, and created a A topic called #老照里的故事# was launched.

Students from various schools who got the news in advance also posted posts and articles with the topic one after another.Professor Qin, who was greeted by Professor Xing, and other literary masters and historians, as long as they have a Weibo account, also posted original posts with topics.

Because we have made full preparations in advance, in the first hour when the essay competition was officially launched, more than 15000 original posts were published with the topic of #老照里的故事#, the number of original posts exceeded 4000, and the topic’s reading volume exceeded 3000 million .The lively discussion immediately aroused the interest of netizens to follow suit and post.In addition, the reward mechanism of the essay competition also attracted many netizens to join in the fun.In the second hour after the essay solicitation was released, the number of people discussing the topic of #老照里的故事# increased to 7000, and the topic reading volume directly exceeded 5000 million.Topics and keywords are automatically captured by Weibo and directly recommended as hot spots.

A large number of old photos and those old stories that are lingering in the depths of memory have also brought back the memories of a generation.In the beginning, there were only students from various colleges and universities in City A, and netizens from Xicheng District and City A were communicating.Slowly, netizens in other cities also began to upload old photos of their homes, as well as old photos of the scenery of their cities decades ago.Those memories and stories that have been submerged in the deep memory of the years have also been excavated little by little.

People began to recall the customs of that era.It was as if at this moment, everyone was pulled back by the time machine decades ago. The middle-aged people who had been oppressed by firewood, rice, oil and salt for a long time began to look back on their youth, and young people who had never experienced that era also began to read through old photos. That time period.

So far, #老照里的故事# has seen a surge in reading and discussion on this topic.Historians and writers who had been prepared for a long time stood up and appealed, hoping that the localities can protect the cultural relics and local customs while building their economies.Don't wait until these old buildings with historical accumulation and human touch are gone before recalling the past in front of the high-rise reinforced concrete buildings.

This appeal has been recognized and supported by many netizens.Of course, some people still think that economic construction is the priority. Compared with those shantytowns and courtyards with aging buildings and old buildings, it is obvious that high-rise buildings with comfortable and modern functions are more suitable for living and are more popular.

Feelings are good, but not worth the money.

As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately refuted by the previous wave of netizens who were willing to protect cultural relics.Both sides began a heated debate around these two arguments.In the course of the debate, the issue of how to develop and maintain the old western city slowly began to ferment.

Gu Chen's layout has achieved initial results.

"I knew you were still here!"

Just when Gu Chen was secretly complacent, a particularly helpless voice came from behind.Gao Haiyang patted Gu Chen on the shoulder: "You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?"

Just as Gu Chen was about to explain, he heard Gao Haiyang say, "Don't explain anymore. Hurry up and pack your things, we'll treat you to barbecue."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Chen to react, he directly put the books on the table and the laptop into his schoolbag.He picked up Gu Chen and walked outside.

Gu Chen was pushed forward by Gao Haiyang: "You haven't eaten yet?"

"Busy with the essay competition!" Gao Haiyang said casually, "But I'm not hungry either. Your sister Weiwei stuffed me with a lot of snacks."

While talking, the two had already arrived at the school gate.Zhao Shu and He Qingchen sat in the car, waited for Gu Chen and Gao Haiyang to get in the car, and immediately drove to the barbecue restaurant.

"Let me tell you, their barbecue is really amazing!" On the way, Gao Haiyang swallowed his saliva while introducing to Gu Chen: "Especially the beef tongue and roasted pork belly. No way, my mouth is watering just thinking about it."

Gu Chen was also a little hungry: "I promised to treat you to the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall in Zhenxie Pavilion, so I'll go tonight? I've already made a reservation."

"Okay!" Zhao Shu answered, "I've been waiting for this meal for several days."

"Then do I have to eat less at noon?" Gao Haiyang was a little confused: "I've grown up so much, I've never been to such a good restaurant!"

"Look at how promising you are!" Zhao Shu smiled, "You might as well stop eating, and wait until the evening meal."

"That can't be done!" Gao Haiyang quit: "I also like to eat barbecue. As long as it is delicious, don't miss a meal."

He Qingchen shook his head with a smile, and asked Gu Chen: "I see that our essay topic has nearly [-] million views. Isn't this statistic amazing?"

"It's about the same." Gu Chen said: "It's definitely not comparable to those hot social events that the whole people pay attention to, but the degree of discussion is also very good."

"The development of the old western city can be regarded as a social and people's livelihood topic." He Qingchen said: "I took a look at the topic before, and many official accounts of relevant departments have already started posting and discussing it."

"Public opinion will slowly ferment, so don't worry." This is the first day of the essay competition, and Gu Chen still has a lot of back-ups.

Four people arrived at the barbecue shop.It was already past noon and there was almost no one in the lobby.The four of them randomly chose a table and sat down.After ordering, He Qingchen asked, "I see that the essay contest you launched today only mentioned article submission and uploading old photos. When will the microfilm contest start?"

"Don't worry, wait for the public opinion to ferment." Gu Chen said: "Two days later, we will randomly select 100 netizens who participated in the topic to give away prizes. To stimulate the activity of netizens and the motivation to continue posting and discussing, we will announce by the way About the Microfilm Contest."

"It's methodical!" Gao Haiyang counted his thumbs at Gu Chen, and suddenly mentioned another thing: "Do you still remember the two mind maps you published at Weiwei Publishing House?"

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.

Gao Haiyang continued: "The sales are not bad. But what is strange is that compared with the bookstores near A University and other 985 colleges, the sales volume is better than that of some second-tier colleges and colleges. .”

"Weiwei said that if this situation continues, it is estimated that another batch will be printed in the next year."

Because the first batch of people who used Gu Chen's mind map for review had already passed the test once.Fortunately, those who have used Gu Shen's mind map have a pass rate of about 65% in the "Tax Law" and "Economic Law" exams.This is of course the result of everyone's diligent review, and it also has the function of mind mapping in it.So now Gu Chen's mind map has gained a good reputation among the CPA students.The publishing house is also planning to use this data to promote it.

——You must know that if this kind of review materials is well publicized, the consumer market will be wider than those popular bestsellers.And it can be printed repeatedly.Because for the CPA test group, good review materials are always just needed.

"I said, have you finished writing the mind maps of "Financial Cost Management" and "Corporate Strategy and Risk Management?" Gao Haiyang said while grilling beef tongue pork belly: "It's not that I want to rush you. The main thing is that we have to grasp Timing. It is best to publish the mind maps of the remaining four textbooks when it is printed in the next year. Weiwei said that if we can sell a complete set of mind maps, the sales will definitely be better than now .”

Gu Chen nodded: "I'll try my best to write. I've been too busy recently, so I really didn't take care of it."

"Don't urge Gu Chen anymore. Let's count when he finishes writing!" Zhao Shu couldn't bear to see it, and said, "You count Gu Chen's time, and he is busy sorting out data for Professor Xing. I have to work on the essay competition, and the development plan of the old western city, which was also written by Gu Chen. I have to submit a paper to Professor Xing every month. I don’t go to bed until eleven or twelve o’clock every day. He has to get up again at four o'clock in the morning. If you squeeze him again, he really won't even have time to sleep."

He Qingchen also said: "And the final exam is coming soon. Gu Chen still has to review. There are so many compulsory courses and elective courses in professional courses, I am worried that Gu Chen will fail."

Gao Haiyang was stunned by the two roommates, and immediately raised his hand in surrender: "That's what I said, and I didn't mean to urge Gu Chen to submit the manuscript as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he wrapped the roasted pork belly with lettuce, and handed it to Gu Chen with both hands: "I was wrong. Eat it quickly to nourish your body."

Gu Chen smiled, took the pork belly, and said, "When I finish the essay competition, I will draw all the mind maps as soon as possible."

Zhao Shu pinched a piece of ox tongue to Gu Chen, and asked, "Is there anything else that we can help with?"

"There really are." Gu Chen said: "I want to go to the video site later, and discuss with the site about uploading micro-movies. I hope the video site can open a special section for us. It is convenient for netizens to watch and vote."

Zhao Shu nodded: "After dinner, I will send Qingchen and Haiyang back to school first. Then I will send you to find a video website."

After a pause, he asked again, "Do you have a goal?"

"Yes!" Gu Chen nodded: "It's just the blah blah website, do you know?"

"I know." Zhao Shu said, "The barrage is very active. I also often watch live games on that website."

"I'm going to put the microfilm competition on the Jiliwala website. At the same time, it will open up authorization and encourage secondary creation." Gu Chen said.

He Qingchen and Gao Haiyang looked at each other, some didn't understand: "What secondary creation?"

This time, without waiting for Gu Chen to open his mouth, Zhao Shu directly explained: "It is Gu Chen who wants to upload the micro-movie to the Jiliwala website, and at the same time encourage the grandma of the Jiliwala website to use the materials of these micro-movies to edit other Video. It is not only conducive to the dissemination of the original video, but also conducive to the dissemination and promotion of the plan to develop the old western city.”

Gu Chen nodded: "That's right."

He Qingchen frowned slightly: "Changing other people's works casually, I'm afraid the people who shoot micro-films won't be willing, right?"

"This is a very good means of publicity." Gu Chen can understand He Qingchen's concerns: "I will make these things clear to the micro film teams who signed up for the competition. Everyone can choose voluntarily. And we are only open to secondary creation Authorization, and does not allow the secondary author to use these materials for commercial purposes. This is still very clear."

"I think it's pretty good." Zhao Shu said: "You may not know the website Jiliwala. The edited videos on this website are very popular. They can use various video materials to edit different stories, and it's quite fun."

After eating the barbecue, Zhao Shu sent He Qingchen and Gao Haiyang back to school, and then drove Gu Chen to the headquarters of Jiliwala website.The website staff who received Gu Chen and Zhao Shu didn't take the two college students seriously at first, and learned that Gu Chen had just operated #老照里的故事# in the morning, and there was a microfilm contest to follow. Mile wala website cooperation, immediately find the person in charge.

It took Gu Chen two hours to finalize the specific cooperation details with the website.As soon as I got back to school, I received a call from Professor Xing: "Come to my office."

Gu Chen came to Professor Xing's office in a daze, and saw a thermos bucket with blue floral flowers on Professor Xing's desk.Professor Xing was immersed in reading the article, and when he saw Gu Chen coming in, he pointed to the thermos bucket on the table: "The ginseng stewed chicken soup that your teacher's mother made for you. You take it back and drink it while it's hot. Remember to clean the thermos bucket, tomorrow Bring it back in the morning."

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment.

"What are you still doing in a daze!" Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen's stupid look, and immediately smiled and said, "Hurry up and drink. Knowing that you love ginger, your teacher even put extra slices of ginger in it. It's winter. , just to drive away the cold.”

Then asked Gu Chen: "You didn't have class this afternoon, what were you busy with?"

Gu Chen came back to his senses, and immediately replied: "I went to a video website and contacted about the micro film competition."

As he said that, Gu Chen explained the details of his cooperation with the website.

Professor Xing doesn't know much about this kind of thing, so he only half-knows.Immediately smiled and said: "I don't understand the tricks you young people are playing. Anyway, I leave this matter to you, and you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to tell Gu Chen: "Remember to drink chicken soup. Your teacher's wife is a good cook!"

Gu Chen returned to the dormitory with the chicken soup that Professor Xing specially asked his teacher to cook for him.The three roommates were shocked immediately: "What's the situation, who gave you warmth?"

"The blue floral insulation barrel, so cute, it must be a girl!" Gao Haiyang rubbed his chin, and he had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be the school belle of your first grade. It's Shang Rui, right?"

"No." Gu Chen was a little dumbfounded: "It's the chicken soup that Professor Xing asked my teacher to cook for me."

"Is Professor Xing so considerate?" Gao Haiyang and He Qingchen looked at each other.They have studied in University A for four years, and they have never seen Professor Xing treat any student so well.

"This is the difference in the professor's mind between a top student and an ordinary classmate." Zhao Shu shook his head, and smiled at Gu Chen, "Hurry up and drink this bucket of chicken soup. You don't have to compete with us for food when you go to the delicacy hall later." gone."

"Then can I have an extra serving?" Gao Haiyang's eyes lit up: "Can I take our Weiwei with me?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Of course we can. Why don't we also invite some other seniors and sisters? It's the result of everyone's joint efforts that the essay competition made such a big splash on the first day of launch. I should reward everyone."

"It's okay to reward you. It's the price of Zhenxiu Pavilion... Shall we change places?" Gao Haiyang rubbed his hands, feeling sorry for the money for Gu Chen.

"It's okay." Gu Chen said with a smile: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Everyone has worked hard today."

Those who spend money don't care anymore.Of course the other three had no opinion.Gu Chen called a few seniors and made an appointment to meet at the school gate.By the way, Wang Guan and her girlfriend were also called.

Gao Haiyang was stunned: "This meal can't be paid without 2 yuan!"

While drinking the chicken soup, Gu Chen answered with a smile: "It's not short of money."

"Well, this chicken soup is delicious! It's no worse than the Feilong soup I drank in Zhenxiu Pavilion yesterday." Gu Chen's eyes lit up.

Gao Haiyang suddenly thought of something: "I don't think I'm suitable. I just finished eating the barbecue, and I'm going to eat at the delicacy hall. I'm not hungry yet, what should I do if I can't eat?"

"Then let Sister Weiwei eat two more bites for you." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"Did you do it on purpose, boy?" Gao Haiyang looked at Gu Chen, very unconvinced: "No! I have to go downstairs and run around twice. Digest and digest food. It's the first time in my life that I went to a place like Zhenxiu Court to eat , can’t afford to lose!”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the obstruction of Gu Chen and the other two roommates, he put on his down jacket and went downstairs to run around.

He Qingchen shook his head, and said with a smile: "This Gao Haiyang, he's always eating his head."

In the evening, a group of people gathered to eat at Zhenxiu Court.Gu Chen also put several boxes of snacks and daily necessities in Zhao Shu's car, all of which were gadgets sponsored by sponsors.I'm going to send it to everyone after dinner.As for whether the seniors and sisters took it back as a favor or kept it for themselves, Gu Chen didn't care.

After coming to Zhenxiu Pavilion for dinner for three consecutive days, the bar cashier at Zhenxiu Pavilion recognized Gu Chen.His face suddenly became a little embarrassed.Gu Chen saw it in his eyes and ignored it.After a group of people entered the private room and finished ordering, Gu Chen returned to the bar again under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and asked the cashier: "You see, my expression is not right, what's wrong?"

The cashier had a polite smile on his face: "No, did you misunderstand?"

Gu Chen thought for a while and asked, "Has anyone asked you about my affairs?"

The cashier's face changed, and just about to deny it, Gu Chen continued to cheat: "You revealed my information?"

The cashier's expression suddenly became flustered, and he hesitated: "I, I—"

Gu Chen understood.Did not pursue further, turned and went upstairs.As he walked towards the box, he silently used the method of elimination in his heart.Since his rebirth, the people Gu Chen has known say more and more.However, those who can hide their heads and show their tails so much that they dare not say hello when they see him, but secretly confirm his news with the hotel staff, can count on one hand.

——Da Zhou Group!

Gu Chen shook his head.In fact, he was a little bit contemptuous of Zhou's father and son's way of doing things.It can also be predicted that after the essay competition is popular, what the Dazhou Group will do in order to prevent the relevant departments from tilting the policy of developing the old western city.Gu Chen had already prepared countermeasures.But things haven't developed to that point yet, so Gu Chen wouldn't act preemptively.After all, with his status and status, it is easy to be bitten by others if he takes the lead. Only by counterattacking passively can he occupy the moral high ground.

When Gu Chen returned to the box, Zhao Shu immediately noticed Gu Chen's slightly gloomy expression, and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Chen smiled, and said casually: "It's nothing. I just met a very unqualified person outside."

Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows: "Can this kind of restaurant have unqualified guests?"

"Quality has never been related to wealth." Gu Chen said with a smile: "There are many people, the richer their family is, the worse their quality is. And it's so bad that it's unscrupulous."

"That's true." Zhao Shu nodded, and poured Gu Chen a cup of hot drink: "Drink something sweet to change your mood, we don't have the same knowledge as people with poor qualities."

Gu Chen let out a "huh", picked up his cup and drank slowly.
