Chapter 1040

This episode did not attract the attention of the judges present.

It did not attract the attention of Zhou Daoli.

Zhou Daoli randomly looked at other books submitted for examination, read them at full speed, and then threw them away at full speed.

When all the books on hand were finished, he suddenly sighed: "in recent years, the quality of books in the circle of traditional Chinese studies has declined dramatically! The four books reluctantly selected are only qualified to compete for the final prize, and there is little hope of winning the prize. On the contrary, the applied science group has seen a lot of dark technology in recent years, and the related books are numerous. It is probably the applied science group that can win the National Book Award this year. "

Zhou Daoli's eyes fell on his student's book, which was compiled under his guidance. But in order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Daoli deliberately asked the students to remove his name at the time of publication. Otherwise, according to the selection principle, if Zhou Daoli has books selected, he can't be the person in charge of the selection.

If he can't be the person in charge, the chances of his students being selected for this book will be greatly reduced.

After a busy day and night, the judges who were slightly tired finally finished their work.

Next, it is a critical selection.

Ranking of classified books.

If you win the first place in the category, you can take part in the final selection ceremony tomorrow morning.

Zhou Daoli sat at the top of the table, looked at the other judges, and said slowly, "you've worked hard. The books you sent are very good. But there are only four books that meet my criteria. I suggest that the first prize tonight be selected from these four books. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. We are a group, not a single speech. We can express our opinions to the fullest. "

Several judges you look at me, I look at you, but did not speak.

What Zhou Daoli said is good, not a single word, but actually every judge knows it. Once they put forward different opinions, they will be strongly rejected by Zhou Daoli.

At most, a few excuses will be added to the process of veto, and then it will be called discussion. The final result of the discussion is Zhou Daoli has the final say.

After several times of such things, the judges of the Sinology group either directly did not participate in the next selection, or they were silent and let Zhou Daoli do it.

"Oh, it seems that everyone's opinions are quite unified this time, and they have no opinions. Then we will start to vote for these four books... "Zhou Daoli waved and said.

However, as soon as his voice fell, he saw a man standing up: "wait a minute."

"Old Du? Do you have something to say? " Zhou Daoli gives Du Ru a dissatisfied look.

In the past, Du Ruhui would have understood, sat down, or found a reason to go to the toilet.

Today, however, Du Ruhui did not show any abnormality. Instead, he stared at Zhou Daoli and said, "leader Zhou, I think there is a book that is not inferior to the four recommended by you. That book is more qualified to fight for a National Book Award on behalf of the Sinology group."

Zhou Daoli was stunned when he heard the speech, and then he felt angry.

How dare Du Ruhui question him openly? Is this guy sure he didn't take the wrong medicine when he went out in the morning?

"Oh? Lao Du, which book are you talking about? Why don't I think there is such a book? " Zhou Daoli responded with a sneer.

Du Ruhui glanced at the elimination area... But didn't find the book he wanted to recommend.

The book seems to have disappeared.

For a moment, Du Ruhui was stunned.

"No talk? It seems that you don't have the strength in your heart! " Zhou Daoli said sarcastically.

Then, ignoring Du Ruhui, he directly arranged the four books in turn and said to the other judges, "I think the four books, essentials of Chinese studies, can be ranked first, and the remaining three books are slightly inferior, but they are also excellent works, tied for second. What do you think? "

A strange light flashed in the eyes of several judges at the same time. Who didn't know that Guoxue Jingyao was the book of Zhou Daoli's disciple?

Before the selection, director Zhang just held a meeting to emphasize "fairness and justice". Unexpectedly, Zhou Daoli turned around and pushed his students' books to the first place.

So unscrupulous, but no one dares to control, no one dares to expose.

"I basically agree with leader Zhou's proposal." Here's a judge's way.

The other judges looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Then, nodding at the same time, he was ready to admit that "Essentials of Chinese culture" was the first prize.

Who knows, but listen to Du such as will suddenly call a: "slow down!"

Then Du Ruhui, like a child who found a gem, bent down to pick up a book on the ground and carefully blew off the dust.

Several judges curiously looked at the books in Du Ruhui's hands, and they were all stunned.

The canon of Sinology?!

Isn't this Wang Yong's book? He ran, too?

It's just that Wang Yong once mercilessly rejected Du Ruhui's request to join the group. What does Du Ruhui want to do? Humiliate the book? But Wang Yong wasn't there. I couldn't hear him!

In the public's suspicion, Du Ruhui put the classic of traditional Chinese learning in front of the essence of traditional Chinese learning. With an almost hostile attitude, he said to Zhou Daoli: "I think this book is the first one."

Zhou Daoli's eyes flashed with surprise. He is really confused. Even if Du Ruhui is not normal recently, he will not be able to protect Wang Yong's book as the first, will he?

Zhou Daoli quickly disguised the surprise in his eyes and replaced it with a light sneer.

"What do you think? As I said, our selection panel doesn't have a single word. You don't think it's going to work, and I don't think it's going to work. Originally this book was full of controversial content, I have eliminated it. But in the face of you, Lao Du, let's make an exception to take out this book and let everyone have a fair and just evaluation, OK Zhou Daoli asked provocatively.

Du Ru would smile faintly: "OK, thank you for your generosity. However, I have to say one thing in advance. Since the establishment of the National Book Award, no book of Sinology has been elected. Even in recent years, Sinology has been hot, but in the eyes of those harsh judges, Sinology is still not on the big table. Now, a book has been published, which represents the highest achievement in the category of Sinology, and also gathers the recognition of all countries in the Chinese cultural circle. It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of this book that we see the hope of winning the laurel for the first time. Ask yourself, do you really have the heart to see the Sinology books miss such an opportunity, and then continue to sink for 10 or even 20 years? "

The judges did not speak, but many people quietly lowered their heads and their eyes flickered.

After hearing Du Ruhui's words, Zhou Daoli's face became very ugly and scolded: "enough! We're judges, not someone's cheerleaders! If you do that again, I have enough reason to kick you out of the jury! Next, voting begins! "

Rustle, only a quiet NIB across the paper sound, in addition to no other sound.

One by one, the judges put the written votes into a small ballot box. Soon, more than a dozen judges completed the voting work.

Zhou Daoli glanced at the crowd, then opened the ballot box in front of them and began to sing.

"The first place in the essentials of Chinese culture is one vote."

"The second prize of appreciation of pre Qin poetry is one vote."

"The first prize in the essentials of Chinese studies, two votes..."

After all, there are only a dozen votes.

And in the singing, it seems that we haven't heard the four words of Guoxue Zhengdian appear from Zhou Daoli's mouth.

Just when Du Ruhui suspected Zhou Daoli's blatant fraud, it became unnatural to hear Zhou Daoli's voice: "the first prize in the canon of Chinese studies, one vote..."

DURU would clench his fist and loosen it secretly.

He didn't know if it was his vote, but as long as it appeared, at least it proved that Zhou Daoli was not arbitrary enough to cheat.

It seems that a gate has been opened. In the following votes, the name of "the canon of Chinese Studies" appears.

"The second place in the canon of Chinese studies, 1 vote..."

"The second place in the canon of Chinese studies, 2 votes..."

"The first prize in the canon of Chinese studies, 1 vote..."

Zhou Daoli's face turned green as he read.

Finally, all the votes were read, and Zhou Daoli was afraid to read the statistics.

In his intuition, it seems that "the canon of Chinese Studies" won more votes than "the essence of Chinese Studies".

What should we do if that scene really happens?

Find a reason to declare the result invalid, or go back on your word and deny the qualification of Guoxue Zhengdian?

Zhou Daoli is a bit tangled. But there is one thing he is very clear about, that is, we must not let the classic of Chinese studies get the first place! Even after finishing this session of judges, he won't do it in the next session!

"Everybody, the results have come out." A staff member with the statistical results in his hand said.

All the judges looked curiously at the staff and wanted to know who was the winner.

Zhou Daoli and Du Ruhui are particularly nervous and concerned.

"The one who won the first prize was the essence of Chinese culture."! Seven votes! "

As the voice of the staff fell, Zhou Daoli breathed a sigh of relief, while Du Ruhui's eyes were dull and at a loss.

Is God so cruel to him? Is it so difficult for a man to do something worthy of his conscience before he dies?

"How many votes are there in the canon of Sinology?" Du Ru will use hoarse voice, difficult to ask.

The staff took a look at the statistics and replied, "six votes, only one vote. In addition, Guoxue Zhengdian also won the second place with the largest number of votes

This data makes the judges present feel thoughtful.

Obviously, five people were moved by Du Ruhui's words and joined him in the canon of Sinology. The other seven people, excluding Zhou Daoli, had to vote for the essentials of Sinology because of Zhou Daoli's face, but they also gave the second place to the canon of Sinology.

In other words, Wang Yong's book is actually highly recognized in the circle!

It is indeed the most qualified to represent the category of Sinology and participate in the final competition of the National Book Award!

Unfortunately

"Alas." A few judges sighed and shook their heads regretfully.

I don't know whether I was sighing that I didn't vote for the canon of Sinology or that the selection was unfair.

When Zhou Daoli saw the reaction of several judges, he felt uneasy. Originally, he wanted to continue to crack down on the canon of Chinese studies, so that it could not even get the second place.

But now he was afraid of a long night's dream and could not take care of the whole thing. He announced: "in this case, according to the result of the singing, the essence of Chinese studies was ranked the first in the group of Chinese studies, and the difference between the votes of the canon of Chinese studies was the second. Here I would like to apologize. It seems that I really lost my eye before. I hope you don't blame me. The remaining three books, I suggest tied for the third, after all, we do not have the fourth, this award is not

Seeing no objection, Zhou Daoli said, "that's settled! I announce that the representative of Sinology group participating in the selection of National Book Award is "Essentials of Sinology!"
