In a meeting room somewhere in Hangzhou.

Seven middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair sat together around a long table, discussing something intensely.

These are the judges of the "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Competition".

As soon as the essay competition was closed, the intense review work began immediately.

Sitting in the front was Qin Dewen, the old man.

In addition to Qin, there was Ma Xuemin, and several other famous writers.

These people have participated in the review of essay competitions more or less, but this time the competition was the most intense.

When the competition was emotional, some old men even slammed the table with red faces.

After a long time, everyone seemed to have reached a preliminary opinion.

"Okay, let's start voting."

The assistant put the ten works on the screen, and Qin Dewen, who presided over the entire review, asked: "These ten works are ranked in the top ten this time. Do you have any objections?"

The other six people were silent and agreed.

Qin Dewen nodded and said again: "Okay, these five poems should be the top five. Do you have any objections?"

At this time, the top five works are the five most popular poems recently.

"I have different opinions."

Everyone looked at the source of the voice.

Ma Xuemin put down his raised hand and said calmly: "In my opinion, is the work "White Cloud" more suitable for the top five than "Error"?"

After the voice fell, many judges frowned slightly.

The author of "White Cloud" is also an "old acquaintance" of this essay competition, Guan Yi.

And the author of "Error" is Zheng Chouyu.

In terms of author popularity, Guan Yi is indeed much higher than Zheng Chouyu.

But in terms of literary quality, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Error" is higher than "White Cloud".

I just don't know why Ma Xuemin raised this point, but there is no first in literature, and it is normal for different judges to have different appreciation preferences for works.

Qin Dewen pondered for a moment and said, "Vote. Those who agree that the work "White Cloud" is in the top five, raise your hands."

Only one person raised his hand-Ma Xuemin.

"Those who agree that the work "Error" is in the top five, please express your opinion."

Except Ma Xuemin, including Qin Dewen, the other five judges raised their hands.

The votes were six to one, and "Error" was ranked in the top five with an absolute advantage.

Ma Xuemin looked ugly, snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Next, when it came to the first place of this essay contest, a heated discussion broke out again.

Is it "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" or "A Generation" that deserves the first place?

This debate lasted for nearly three hours. Everyone was thirsty. The two factions insisted on their own opinions and no one could convince the other.

Qin Dewen, the most experienced, took a sip of water and said in a deep voice: "I want to emphasize this again."

"The same poem will have different perceptions in different people's eyes. The appreciation of poetry is subjective and will inevitably be colored by personal emotions."

"But the position we sit in means that we cannot carry personal emotions when judging, but should try to judge objectively from the literary, artistic and social aspects of the poetry itself."

"Because we are not representing ourselves, but representing the thousands of people who are paying attention to this essay contest, the results of our judgment must be responsible to all the people!"

The meeting room fell into silence.

After a while, an old man wearing glasses said: "These two authors, 'Haizi' and 'Gu Cheng', are you really unable to find out who they are, and can't contact each other?"

An employee of the essay website waiting on the side immediately replied: "Can't contact."

"The other party registered an account on the phone, and they were either employees of an entertainment company or students, and they all said they had no idea about it."

Everyone was silent, and they all felt that something seemed a bit strange.

Five amazing modern poets suddenly appeared, and they were all mysterious. This is too coincidental.

"That's not right." At this time, another judge said: "Didn't Guan Yi say that he knew Bian Zhilin, the author of "Broken Chapter", and he also posted the chat records with the other party on the Internet."

Everyone was stunned, and then reacted, and their faces were a little excited.

The website staff explained: "This... shouldn't be."

"At first we contacted Teacher Guan Yi, but Teacher Guan Yi said it was inconvenient to provide the other party's contact information."

"Then we found in the background that Teacher Guan Yi and Bian Zhilin greeted each other in the station letter."

"Teacher Guan Yi should not know Bian Zhilin either."

The staff's face was a little embarrassed.

He read the chat records between Guan Yi and Bian Zhilin.

At first he didn't think there was anything, but the picture sent by Bian Zhilin... gave him an inexplicable feeling.

Guan Yi should not be able to see it, but anime fans like him can tell at a glanceIt can be seen that it is clearly a picture of COS "Girl with Glasses".

Why does he feel... this Bian Zhilin seems to be teasing Guan Yi?

However, this kind of thing involves privacy, of course he will not say it, anyway, it does not affect the result that "Guan Yi does not know Bian Zhilin".

If they did not suspect that Bian Zhilin's account was stolen, they would not check the user information through the background.

After the staff explained, everyone suddenly understood, and at the same time understood Guan Yi's little thoughts, and they were a little dissatisfied.

Everyone is not a fool. Guan Yi obviously does not know others but insists on making connections. In today's words, isn't it "riding on the popularity"!

The last hope was shattered, and everyone stopped struggling.

The old man with glasses continued: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it, but I personally insist that the poem "A Generation" should win first place this time!"

"The highlight of this poem should be the three words "A Generation" in the poem title."

"If I guess correctly, this "Gu Cheng" should not be very young."

"This is a work with a strong imprint of the times, expressing the will of a generation to fight unswervingly to realize their ideals."

As soon as the old man with glasses finished speaking, different opinions were raised, and the conference room fell into an argument for the nth time.

In the end, which of the two poems should be the first, the seven people argued fiercely but could not come to a conclusion, and finally chose to vote.

The two poems "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" and "A Generation" were projected on both sides of the conference room screen.

Qin Dewen took a deep breath and said seriously: "Okay, raise your hands to vote."

"Please express your opinion if you agree that "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" wins first place."

Four people raised their hands.

The staff in the entire room, including the judges, were shocked.

"Those who agree that "A Generation" should win first place, please express your opinion."

The remaining three people also raised their hands solemnly.

The meeting room fell into silence, and everyone's face was a little excited.

At this point, the list of winners of the essay contest has been determined!
