413: Seeing their brother, Qinglian Jushi, so confident, the members of the Modern Poetry Association were also fired up.
“The amount of talent required for ‘Talent Reaching Six Bushels’ is finally not far off.
As long as I perform well in this Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering, I should be able to unlock another 'Unparalleled Literary Talent' recitation ability!”
It was a new day, and also the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Lu muttered to himself.
Da Xu Culture, as a 'big' company with excellent earning capabilities, naturally provided very good benefits.
For a major holiday like the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no inhumane arrangement for people to work overtime.
Everyone in the entire company, including the cast and crew, was on holiday today.
In addition to the holidays, the company was also generous with various holiday bonuses and shopping vouchers.
In fact, over a million yuan was spent on employee benefits alone.
Of course, Our CEO Xu wasn't short on money; as long as everyone was happy, that was all that mattered.
Moreover, what he was most concerned about recently was the acquisition of talent; he posted a poem update every day without fail, gradually accumulating more fans.
Of course, what Xu Lu anticipated even more was tonight's Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering.
The Modern Poetry Association had already informed him... well, informed his alias, Green Lotus Layman, that he would have to confront 'that kid Xu Lu' tonight.
The specific 'battle' method would be very simple: a remote online attack.
His task was simple: write poetry.
As for other operations, the other members of the Modern Poetry Association would naturally handle them, so 'Green Lotus Layman,' the socially anxious patient, didn't need to worry.
As long as 'that kid Xu Lu' dared to accept the challenge, everything would proceed as planned.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Green Lotus Layman could surpass the opponent in poetry, and Zhou Wenhao and the other members of the Modern Poetry Society were very confident about this.
If 'that kid Xu Lu' dared not accept the challenge, then things would be even simpler.
The Modern Poetry Association would then initiate a group taunt, directly putting the opponent on the wall of shame and avenging their past humiliation!
“I've only heard of 'playing chess with oneself,' but never 'composing poetry with oneself.
It seems tonight I'll be setting a new record, which is quite interesting to think about.”
Thinking of this, Xu Lu shook his head with a smile.
Clearly, he would gain a large amount of talent from tonight's Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering.
But first, he had to play this act well.
However, even so, he didn't plan to stop posting today's 'Poetry Update'.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and it can add a little bit.
While muttering to himself, Xu Lu's hands didn't stop. He lowered his head and furiously typed on the keyboard, and a new update was quickly posted:
‘You... stand on the bridge... watching the scenery...’
‘The person watching the scenery... is on the building... watching you...’
Since he had already posted ancient poetry yesterday, letting everyone witness Green Lotus Layman's profound skill in ancient poetry.
This time, Xu Lu switched back to modern poetry for his update. A poem titled 'Broken Stanza' was enough to make his fans ponder for a while.
That's right!
Our CEO Xu didn't just randomly choose the poems he used for his updates.
To create more buzz and harvest the talent provided by his fans, he had truly racked his brains.
And after these days of acquiring talent.
Xu Lu discovered that the higher the topic's popularity, the richer the talent it provided.
So yesterday, when fans were discussing 'combat power,' he immediately posted a poem titled 'Gazing at Mount Tai'.
Using the line 'I will... ascend to the summit' to tell his fans that he would be the one who 'sees all mountains as small'.
In the comments, fans also praised Green Lotus Layman for his overwhelming aura.
As for the 'Broken Stanza' that Xu Lu used in today's update, it would allow fans to guess whether Green Lotus Layman was 'the person on the bridge' or 'the person on the building'.
In fact, it didn't surprise him.
As soon as the update was posted, it quickly attracted the attention of fans:
“Although I guessed Green Lotus Layman would continue the rhythm of one poem a day, seeing a new work released, I still admire his overflowing talent.”
“Yes, who can write a good poem every day? Probably only Green Lotus Layman.
And yesterday was an ancient-style poem, today it's a modern poem again, the phrasing is so beautiful!”
“I really can't appreciate it more, such a Green Lotus Layman, I love it...”
“I heard that Green Lotus Layman will have a 'fierce battle' at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering tonight, I didn't expect him to still have the leisure to post updates, amazing.”
...“Hahahaha, didn't you notice that today's poem actually has a lot of hidden meaning?
He seems to be comparing Director Xu Lu to the person watching the scenery on the bridge, while he himself is watching the other person from the building.”
“Now that you mention it, that's true. So, Green Lotus Layman considers himself to be standing higher than the other party?”
“I think he must be very confident; you can feel that confidence from between the lines.”
“Speaking of which, with Green Lotus Layman's sudden appearance, I've started to like modern poetry a bit...”
...Meanwhile.
A group of people in the Modern Poetry Circle also seemed exceptionally excited.
Originally, everyone still had a psychological shadow regarding 'that kid named Xu Lu,' after all, the shadow he cast on them last time was too vast.
But now, seeing 'their own brother' Green Lotus Layman so confident, the others also became confident.
“This time, we must make that kid Xu Lu look bad and return all the humiliation he brought to the association!”
“Down with Xu Lu! The Modern Poetry Circle must not be insulted lightly!”
“Green Lotus Layman is truly admirable; he remains so calm on the eve of a major battle. He's truly a role model for our generation.”
“Yes, Green Lotus Layman is truly too calm. By the way, it would be even better if he didn't have social anxiety.”
...“By the way, that Xu Lu won't be scared into not accepting the challenge today, will he? Then all our preparations would be in vain.”
“Yes, we should have known to tell President Zhou to talk to Green Lotus Layman and tell him not to be so aggressive.”
“Heh heh... If that kid Xu Lu dares not accept the challenge, he'll be even worse off. There will naturally be other ways to deal with him then.”
“Exactly! And Green Lotus Layman doing this actually helps boost everyone's morale. I think it's very necessary.”
...Since the other members of the Modern Poetry Association were so excited, Zhou Wenhao, as the president, was equally stirred up.
During the last incident.
If others only felt the shadow brought by 'that kid Xu Lu,' Zhou Wenhao had personally experienced his terror.
That humiliation of being ridden over was something Chairman Zhou would never forget in his life.
That's why he endured various discomforts to bring Green Lotus Layman into the association.
Now seeing Green Lotus Layman in such good spirits, Zhou Wenhao was naturally in a great mood too.
Because he seemed to already see victory waving at him.
“This time, we will definitely get our revenge, and Old Zhuang's too!”
Zhou Wenhao clenched his fist and knocked on the table, muttering confidently to himself.
