Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Is Chapter 32's essay worth an extra 10 points on the college entrance exam?
The results of the New Concept Writing Competition have been announced.

As before, it once again attracted the attention of a large number of media outlets.

I do not know why.

This time, the media seems to have given the new concept even more intense exposure.

This exposure was originally a good thing.

but.

Some media outlets, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have once again linked the winners of the New Concept Writing Competition with extra points for the college entrance examination.

In fact, the New Concept English series was discussed before the college entrance examination.

The fact that the winner of the first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition was able to be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam sparked a great deal of discussion.

In the end there was nothing we could do.

Under intense public pressure, the new concept student's admission score was changed from guaranteed admission to +10 points.

But even so.

Some media outlets still don't intend to let go of new concepts.

"The 9th New Concept Writing Competition has come to a close, and Shanghai Sprout Magazine has announced the winners of Groups A, B, and C. Among them, 10 people in Group A won the first prize, and these 10 people will also receive a policy support of 10 points added to their college entrance examination score."

"What's with this new concept again? Is it really fair to give extra points on the college entrance exam for first prize winners?"

"I agree. It's unfair to millions of students taking the college entrance exam to get extra points for writing an essay."

"Actually, I have long suggested that the New Concept English competition completely abolish bonus points and a series of related policies. Although I know that other national competitions in physics, mathematics and chemistry also have bonus points and various forms of guaranteed admission, science is completely different from humanities. Humanities essays are a very subjective matter. Whether there is any padding or behind-the-scenes manipulation is a problem."

"Yes, I agree. Physics, chemistry, and mathematics are the truly solid subjects. You either know them or you don't. Our country also hopes to have this kind of talent."

This public opinion also affected the school.

Although the media has not yet announced the specific schools of these award winners.

However, Yang Xiaoqin, the homeroom teacher, called Chen Yang to her office and told him not to let the media's opinions affect him.

Chen Yangchu had no idea what was going on at first.

Only after listening to the homeroom teacher's words did I understand.

But he has no time to care about that.

The media often just have nothing better to do than eat their fill.

In addition, Chen Yang is currently busy taking flight.

On the one hand, I need to attend classes and review.

On one hand, I need to write.

In addition, Chen Yang also had to occasionally write long reviews that led the captain astray.

"That's right, that's the mindset we need to maintain. Okay, you can go back now."

Seeing that Chen Yang seemed unaffected, Yang Xiaoqin nodded.

……

just.

Chen Yang's side remains unaffected.

However, the impact on the emerging phenomenon in Shanghai was enormous.

For Sprout Magazine

The New Concept Writing Competition can be considered their flagship product.

Since its launch, this competition has attracted the attention of countless people.

A number of well-known writers have emerged from the New Concept Writing Competition.

The most representative examples are Han Han, Guo Xiaosi, Zhang Yueran... and so on.

He remains an idol to countless young people to this day.

However, in recent years, the new concept has been increasingly distorted by some unscrupulous media outlets.

First, they said it was unfair to guarantee admission to the New Concept Writing Competition with a first-prize award.

Okay. They canceled.

Now even the bonus points system is starting to stir up trouble again.

The new concept is known on this side.

With our side making repeated concessions, it's uncertain whether the New Concept Writing Competition can continue.

"That's the situation. You are all key members of our magazine department. What do you suggest we do?"

The editor-in-chief of Mengya magazine explained the situation to everyone.

Upon hearing this, all the editors in the editorial department were filled with righteous indignation, saying, "I think we should stand up and have a showdown with those media outlets."

"Yes, we can't back down any further. If we do, our New Concept Writing Competition is finished."

"Yes, we should take the initiative. The media frenzy we've had in the past has put us on the defensive. I know some reporters from major newspapers, and I can talk to them later."

"Actually, the cancellation of the guaranteed admission policy had a huge impact on our New Concept Writing Competition. For example, in recent years, the competition has not produced any highly influential young people."

"Yes, without the guaranteed admission, the influence of our New Concept Writing Competition has dropped several levels. At the same time, the attention it receives has also decreased. Right now, we barely have the policy bonus. If that's gone, we might as well not run the New Concept Writing Competition at all."

"Director Wang, you are a veteran of our editorial department and a leading figure in the School of Literature at Aurora University. Please say a few words."

The editor-in-chief looked at Wang Kaishi, the director of the School of Literature at Aurora University.

Wang Kaishi smiled and took a leisurely sip of tea.

The editor-in-chief was having a headache: "Director Wang, we're in a real crisis, and you're still leisurely drinking tea."

Wang Kaishi blew on the tea leaves in his cup and took another sip.

Only when he was completely satisfied did he put down the cup and say, "Why wouldn't I drink tea? Look at me, I'm an old man, do you think I can go out and fight with them?"

"Director Wang, what are you saying?"

"I'm getting old... It's the young people's world now."

The editor-in-chief frowned, about to speak.

At this moment, Wang Kaishi said, "You guys have been talking back and forth, but you haven't gotten to the point."

"Director Wang, what do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious? What are we, the magazine department, supposed to do by competing with these media outlets? Even if we stand up and fight them, it will only make public opinion more chaotic and even cause the public to lose support. Do people really think that the new concept is a plus and that the public truly supports it?"

Wang Kaishi said, "If you ask me, the one who tied the knot must untie it. These media outlets are questioning our New Concept Writing Competition's bonus point policy, right? Fine, then let them see the works of our New Concept Writing Competition contestants. Only by producing genuine works can we shut them up."

"Director Wang, you mean... Chen Yang's paper?"

"Hehe, didn't you all say this work deserves a big toast? Such a good work shouldn't just be appreciated by us. Since these media outlets are questioning it, let them appreciate this work together."

This said.

The editors in the editorial department slapped their thighs excitedly and said, "Director Wang is right."

"I agree."

"I agree too."

"I wholeheartedly agree."

The editors were somewhat excited.

To know.

When they read this work, they were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.

They really wanted to put this work in the media so that everyone in the country could see it.

"Hehe, what do you all think of Chen Yang's work and Han Han's previous piece, 'Peeping into People Through a Cup'?"

"Don't say it, I'm afraid it will hurt Han Han's feelings."

"Pfft... I'm actually looking forward to seeing how people in China react to this work."

"Me too. Such a great work shouldn't be enjoyed by us alone; everyone should be able to see it."

"Yes, I just want to ask them, does Chen Yang's essay deserve an extra 10 points on the college entrance exam?"
