Chapter Fifty-One: The Professor Recommends A Book

  Lin Guoqing had no classes that afternoon, so he went directly to his current head teacher Yi Zhongwei's office.

  As a learned professor of literature in Huaxia, Yi Zhongwei had his own office at Huajing University and was now sitting at his desk reading.

  "Professor Yi." Looking at Yi Zhongwei with his white hair and glasses, who was in high spirits, Lin Guoqiang respectfully called out.

  Perhaps compared to many famous literati, Yi Zhongwei is not well-known throughout the Chinese world, but in literary circles, Yi Zhongwei is a big name. The reason is simple: Yi Zhongwei has talent, great talent. Moreover, he is naturally calm and gentle, so many literati consider Yi Zhongwei a friend.

  Of course, being naturally unassuming has decided that Yi Zhongwei is not famous, but this does not affect Lin Guoqings respect for Yi Zhongwei.

  "Oh, it's National Day, is there something going on?" Hearing Lin Guoqing's shout, Yi Zhongwei raised his head and took a look, seeing that it was Lin Guoqing, he smiled warmly with a gentle smile on his slightly wrinkled face.

  Lin Guoqing is a student in the literature department who Yi Zhongwei likes relatively more. He is relatively quiet and steady, studies hard and diligently, but his shortcoming is that he often stays in the dormitory, lacking some of the youthful vitality of young people.

  "It's like this, Professor Yi. Yesterday, the students found a very good one online and wanted to show it to you too." Lin Guoqing replied to Yi Zhongwei's question.

  "Oh, online?" Hearing Lin Guoqing's words, Yi Zhongwei raised an eyebrow and asked with a puzzled expression.

  Lin Guoqing was not surprised by the reaction to meeting Professor Yi Zhongwei. Although Huaxia's online literature world is now earning a lot of money, and many excellent martial arts works have been adapted into TV dramas, which are very popular in Huaxia, but overall they still don't enter the eyes of some mainstream traditional literary authors.

  It's just that Lin Guoqing admires the writing style of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" so much, otherwise he wouldn't have come to recommend it to Professor Yi Zhongwei today.

  At this moment, Lin Guoqing hastily nodded and said: "Yes, the internet. But this network is different from the usual ones, teacher, you'll know if you take a look."

  When Yi Zhongwei heard Lin Guoqing's words, he also felt a little curious and didn't know how different the methods were. In fact, Yi Zhongwei was more open-minded and did not criticize the internet as sharply as other scholars. Of course, being open-minded does not mean that Yi Zhongwei agrees with the internet; he acknowledges that some of its works have good ideas, but their literary quality is too poor. If the internet improves its quality, it will be very beneficial to the entire literary world.

  Yi Zhongwei's humble and unassuming nature also determined that he would not participate in these things, so he has always had a neutral attitude towards the internet, neither acknowledging nor opposing it.

  "Now that you've piqued my interest, I'll say with a smile: 'It's just you, kid. If anyone else came to me recommending the internet, I'd have to scold them.'"

  Lin Guoqing naturally knew that Yi Zhongwei was joking, and he also smiled when he heard it. He opened "The Legend of the Condor Hero" on the computer on Yi Zhongwei's desk and voluntarily stepped aside.

  Since he had already promised to take a look at Lin Guoqing's recommended web, Yi Zhongwei naturally wouldn't push it away anymore and came to the computer to start.

  "Hmm, this book is quite interesting." Yi Zhongwei nodded his head after finishing the first chapter and said with great interest.

  Lin Guoqing also let out a sigh of relief when he saw Professor Yi Zhongwei's reaction, it seemed that the book had caught the professor's eye. This made Lin Guoqing extremely happy, the feeling of being recognized by others for something he liked was very good. Just like many fans, if someone recognizes their idol, they will feel an extraordinary sense of satisfaction and happiness.

  Just like Lin Guoqing now, he actually doesn't understand why he came to recommend "The Archer" to Professor Yi Zhongwei, but he did. He didn't know that on the one hand, "The Archer" was the first book he read and it was so wonderful, its position in his heart was not ordinary at all. And in college, Lin Guoqing actually had no friends in reality, coincidentally Professor Yi Zhongwei was a teacher whom Lin Guoqing exceptionally respected, so naturally thought of recommending this book to him.

  On the other hand, the writing style of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" shocked Lin Guoqing, and he didn't want such a good book to be buried because nobody knew about it, so recommending this book became Lin Guoqing's spontaneous behavior.

  Just like many bookworms or movie buffs, when they see a book or movie they like, they will recommend it to people they know.

  Now he is thinking that after going back from Professor Yi Zhongwei's place, he will go to Di Bar and do a good promotion for "The Archer". In reality, Lin Guoqing has few friends, but on the internet, he is a red person.

  And this wait made Lin Guoqing stand for an entire afternoon.

  After finishing the first chapter, Yi Zhongwei saw that there was a next chapter at the bottom of the page, and after clicking on it, he continued to read. At first, Yi Zhongwei was only interested because this article was different from the usual online articles, but later on, he was attracted by the plot, and even Lin Guoqing, who was standing beside him, didn't know what was going on.

  After watching for more than two hours, Yi Zhongwei felt a bit tired and finally raised his head, took off his glasses and rubbed his slightly dry eyes. After all, Yi Zhongwei was already old and not as energetic as young people, so he got very tired after staring at the computer for a short while.

  Seeing Lin Guoqing still standing here, he smiled and said: "This book is indeed good, you see I'm so absorbed in it, it's a pity for you."

  "It's okay, anyway students don't have anything going on this afternoon." Upon hearing Yi Zhongwei's words, Lin Guoqing felt a bit embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.

  "Then you go back first, standing here is tiring. If there's anything good, share it with everyone, communicate more with your dormitory roommates and classmates, don't stay in the dorm all day." After hearing Lin Guoqing's words, Yi Zhongwei said: "Wait for me to rest for a while, I still want to take another look at this one, it's really very exciting."

  "Hmm." Lin Guoqing nodded in response and then left the office, heading towards the dormitory.

  On the road, Lin Guoqing's face couldn't hide his anxious expression, he hadn't even had time to promote this in Di Bar yet.

  Back in his dormitory, Lin Guoqing immediately opened his computer, logged into his Sodou account, went to the Di Bar and posted a recommendation for "The Legend of Qin", and also used his identity as the bar owner to top it.

  In the past, Lao Gan Ma came to Di Ba to do an advertisement, Lin Guoqing would not have done it so openly and aboveboard. Even if he was the boss, he would still be afraid of being sprayed to death by his friends. But this time, Lin Guoqing actually used his own account to post a promotional message, which was also pinned and marked as high-quality. It can be imagined that Lin Guoqing no longer cares about the reaction of his friends. And this has attracted a large number of people to click in.

  "Water goods fear water: 'I'm wiping, four-eyed big post, first reserve name and then look, don't know if it's second floor or not?'"

  "Uh, the upstairs is indeed the second floor, it's really fast, four-eyed big Fa's post on the second floor is not good to grab."

  The reinforcements sent by the monkey: "I'm rubbing, the big sticker has been occupied by water goods. However, the big eyes have also started advertising, go and take a look, if it's not good, come back and scold people." Some people have already finished reading the content of the post and left a message saying

  ……

  Slowly, this post became extremely popular among the four-eyed crowd and was pinned to the top again. The number of replies reached a terrifying level. Lin Guoqing roughly looked through the comments, apart from some spam, most were saying that they would go take a look because of the four-eyed recommendation, and if it wasn't good, they would come back and scold. There was also a part that had already started scolding, saying that the four-eyed didn't care about the rules and was doing self-promotion, and even someone said that the four-eyed took money from others to pin the post without caring.

  Four eyes saw these comments and knew that some of them were telling the truth because they had broken the rules themselves, but those who said they received money were simply brainlessly smearing themselves.

  "The four-eyed one recommends this only because he likes it, if you're not satisfied, you can scold me, but the four-eyed one has never taken money for anything." Lin Guoqing directly closed the post and stopped managing it after saying this sentence again.

  He knew that the more he argued with these people, the more energetic they became. Not arguing was the best approach. Anyway, his goal of promoting "The Archers" had already been achieved. As for the matter of breaking the rules, it's hard to say, but Lin Guoqing hasn't thought of a good solution yet and will think about it later.

  The next morning, there was a lecture by Professor Yi Zhongwei, mainly on ancient Chinese literature. Lin Guoqiang also got up early to attend this lecture.

  Professor Yi Zhongwei's lecture at Huajing University was extremely popular, and if you went late, there would be no seats left. As expected, despite arriving very early, Lin Guoqiang found that the classroom was already packed with people, so he had to find a seat in the back row.

  Lin Guoqing had just sat down for a short while, and the empty seats were quickly filled. Later, some people could only sit on something in the aisle.

  Yi Zhongwei arrived on time at the tiered classroom, took a glance around the room and began: "I'm honored that everyone has come to listen to my lecture. Before we start today, I'd like to recommend a web series called 'The Legend of the Condor Hero'. It's really great, worth watching. Some students don't have seats, so let's not waste time on unnecessary talk, and start early so everyone can leave early. Today we're going to discuss..."

  Although many people did not understand why Professor Yi Zhongwei would suddenly recommend a novel to everyone, most of the students still chose to write down the title and read it when they had time.

  Lin Guoqing sat in his seat and heard Yi Zhongwei's recommendation, he was very excited, this had never happened before at Professor Yi Zhongwei's place. It seemed that Professor Yi Zhongwei also looked at him with new eyes, Lin Guoqing curled up a smile at the corner of his mouth, and began to listen seriously to Professor Yi Zhongwei's lecture.
