Chapter 98 Tsinghua and Peking University Literary Conference
After meeting with Director Qin's undercover agent, Yu Zhen didn't go straight back to Tsinghua or Peking University. Instead, he wandered around and went into the neighboring Yenching University campus to try his luck and visit his fellow golf buddy, Selena Feng.
The person was naturally not found.
Moreover, he is now identified as "Qin Feng".
They never even had a chance to get into the exclusive area for the international class at Yenching University.
Besides, what difference would it make if I met the real person? The disguise potion on my face can only be washed off with a special formula.
Given his current state, if Selena Feng were to meet him and play ball together, wouldn't he go crazy?
I'm not just joking around; finding playing partners is just an unconscious impulse.
Once he actually entered the Yenching University campus, he carefully and attentively began to appreciate the differences.
Tsinghua and Peking Universities prioritize science and technology, while Yenching University leans towards humanities.
After a quick stroll around, I realized I hadn't really seen much of the sights.
His most direct impression was that it was indeed different from the neighboring Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Most notably, the Yenching University campus is bustling with people on weekends, not for English naan bread, but for all sorts of poetry gatherings and book clubs. Especially around Weiming Lake, wow, there are all kinds of poetry recitation stalls, almost lined up along the lake shore.
One by one, these self-important fellows stood on the makeshift platform, speaking with great enthusiasm and eloquence.
It was as if, in their eyes, the entire heaven and earth consisted of nothing but poetry.
"I didn't run into Selena von, but I did run into a few other acquaintances."
Chen Jiangong and Zou Xintong of the May Fourth Literary Society went to Shanghai with Selena von, which unexpectedly led to Selena von helping them translate "The Truman Show" and handle overseas publishing matters.
In a way, these two could be considered his benefactors!
Of course, during this encounter at Yenching University, Yu Zhen couldn't acknowledge or greet the two of them, since he was still using the pseudonym "Qin Feng".
"Students, great news! Top-notch good news in our literary circles! It's finally confirmed that our beloved young writer, the great writer Yu Zhen, will be coming to Beijing to give a literary lecture!"
Chen Jiangong's excitement was palpable.
Judging from his appearance, he must have just received the news and rushed to the shore of Weiming Lake, a gathering place for literature enthusiasts on campus, to share such exciting news with everyone.
Yu Zhen, who happened to be at the scene, was completely stunned when he heard the news.
What's going on?! I'm coming to Beijing to give a public lecture on literature to young literature enthusiasts on a university campus?!
Chen, where did you get this information from?
Why me, the person involved?
There isn't even the slightest bit of related information?
Moreover, I had just finished my undercover meeting with Director Qin, and he didn't tell me any relevant information at all!
"President Chen, I have a question! Could you please answer one of my questions?"
Yu Zhen stood in the crowd, raised his right hand, and shouted a signal.
His shouts drew the attention of the surrounding students, who had no recollection of this unfamiliar face and wondered where he came from.
So when he suddenly started shouting, the people around him began to whisper among themselves.
"What's wrong, classmate?" Chen Jiangong replied in a very good-natured manner.
"Uh, I'm a computer science student from Tsinghua or Peking University next door. I'm also a huge science fiction enthusiast who loves writing. My name is Qin Feng, and this is my student ID—"
He noticed the scrutinizing and questioning gazes of the students around him.
Yu Zhen decided to introduce himself first to avoid any misunderstandings or being mistaken for a troublemaker.
When he revealed his identity, the surrounding students visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that alumni from Tsinghua and Peking Universities next door were also participating in the literary circle exchange at Yenching University, Chen Jiangong felt a little proud, and his tone became more relaxed.
"Qin, what question do you want to ask?"
"Um, I'd like to ask when exactly writer Yu will come to Beijing to give a literary lecture, and which university he will visit first after arriving, and how everyone can participate in the literary lecture?"
Another point is, President Chen, is your source of information reliable?
As far as I know, writer Yu is probably still in seclusion working on the fourth book in his "The Truman Show" series. He probably didn't have time to come to Beijing to give a literary lecture.
Chen Jiangong laughed and said, "Qin, speaking of this, you're a bit... haha—I might as well tell you the truth. For this literary report and lecture, the first stop for writer Yu in Beijing was actually your Tsinghua and Peking University campus."
To be more specific, it was Dean Tang of the Computer Science Department at Tsinghua and Peking Universities who personally pulled strings and begged the education commissions in Beijing and Shanghai to coordinate and arrange this event with great difficulty.
Wow!!
The scene erupted in a burst of noise and laughter.
Honestly, Chen Jiangong's words were quite absurd.
You're a student from the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua or Peking University, and your department leaders personally organized such an important event, yet you didn't hear a single thing about it?
More importantly, you kept saying you were a loyal reader of Yu's works and that you also loved Yu's science fiction novels—
Yu Zhen was embarrassed and red-faced in public.
Fortunately, his face was dark after he disguised himself, which was obviously the result of years of working in the fields, so even if he blushed, no one could tell anything was wrong.
However, Qin Feng's name was immediately remembered by many people present.
Chen Jiangong, in particular, came over and warmly took his hand, chatting enthusiastically while introducing him to Zou Xintong and several other key members of the May Fourth Literary Society.
"Qin, since we're all loyal readers of Author Yu, we should interact more in the future. Besides, our club has the most loyal and devoted readers of Author Yu. So, next weekend, for that literary lecture at your college, shouldn't you use your influence to help our club members get a few more tickets?"
Well, before anything's even started, I've already been labeled as someone who gets insider tickets for others.
Yu Zhen found it both funny and absurd, wondering how the education commissions in Beijing and Shanghai could so easily sell him out without his consent, even arranging for him to attend literary report and lecture meetings.
What's going on?!
Could I possibly refuse outright?!
After hanging around Yenching University for a while, he unexpectedly formed an ironclad alliance with Chen Jiangong and others.
When Yu Zhen returned to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, before he even stepped into the school gates, Director Qin, dressed as an ordinary worker, appeared in front of him like a ghost, having been hiding in some corner beforehand.
"Xiao Yu, things are not looking good. There's a trap waiting for you to face—"
