The publishing house staff who were constantly greeting their peers were also dumbfounded.Even Wang Han couldn't help but have a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.The number of votes is wrong, is it a problem with the number of votes, or the award is wrong, this is an accident, Director Zhang, who is in charge of this selection, is also a little cold in his back at this moment.If it is an ordinary guest who says that the number of votes is wrong, Director Zhang can directly order him to shut up and wait until he steps down to deal with it.But now there is Minister Cao standing on the stage, and the top boss who is much higher than him is "Minister, what's wrong" Director Zhang trotted and ran to Minister Cao's side, and asked nervously.Minister Cao glanced at Director Zhang, and then handed the card to Director Zhang.Director Zhang took the card, and his face changed dramatically in the next second."
It does seem like there's something wrong."
Director Zhang's words reached the audience, causing an uproar in the audience."
What does it mean that the number of votes is wrong, does it mean that someone cheats" "No, it's not an electronic vote, every vote is written out by the judges one by one, how can it be cheating, maybe it is the staff who record the votes who cheat" "No matter who cheats, in short, this time the matter is a bit big, the laurel of the differential power system will not become a boiled duck flying" "It's hard to say, it depends on the number of votes."
With 300 judges, if the differential power system can pass 80 votes, it is considered normal; After 100 votes, it is the first to take the lead; No matter how much it is, it is basically a chance to win, and there is no possibility of losing. ”Listening to the audience's discussions, Minister Cao said to Director Zhang: "There's no need to hide it, just tell everyone what the problem is." ”Director Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Actually, it's not the fraud problem that everyone imagined, but we added up the votes for all the books and found that there were two votes missing."
It is likely that the staff made a statistical error" The audience heard that there were two tickets missing, so they stopped suspicious.However, someone immediately asked: "How many votes did the differential power system win the award?"
Director Zhang glanced at the card and replied: "The number of votes received by the differential power system is 120 votes." ”"Wow", in an instant, everyone in the audience gasped.Not 80 votes, not 100 votes, but a full 120 votes, this is the highest number of votes since the establishment of the National Book Award, "It seems that the first place this time can't run away from others, it is the differential power system" "Lao Qin, congratulations, I want to treat you at night" The person called Lao Qin is the publisher of the differential power system.Lao Qin's face was filled with a smug smile, and he couldn't help but look at the Quartet: "Everyone lifts, everyone lifts the Four Seasons Spring Restaurant at night, and I am the east" "Lao Qin's atmosphere" Many people gave a thumbs up.And Wang Yong happened to be sitting in front of Lao Qin, and the spittle of Lao Qin's words almost sprayed on Wang Yong.Wang Yong couldn't help frowning and reminded: "This gentleman, please pay attention to the distance, your spit is about to spray on my face." ”Lao Qin glanced at Wang Yong and wanted to apologize, but after seeing that it was Wang Yong, he couldn't help but laugh strangely: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Teacher Wang, I have been looking up for a long time, you are also here to participate in this event, I didn't hear that your book was shortlisted" Wang Yong glanced at Lao Qin's expression, and knew that this guy and Zhou Daoli and others should be all the way, from the tone and eyes, there was a ridicule of Wang Yong.Wang Yong didn't want to deal with him.But Qian Xiaozheng refused to be angry, and immediately responded mockingly: "That's because you're old and dizzy, it's clearly written on the nomination list that the canon of Chinese culture, you can't see it" Lao Qin didn't expect Wang Yong to reply to him, but was scolded by a small follower by Wang Yong's side.couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "Who do you say is old and dizzy, I just didn't see the canon of Chinese culture shortlisted, what's the matter, if you are shortlisted, you can't get the highest award, it's not like a bunch of garbage" Lao Qin didn't dare to say this blatantly, otherwise he would be beaten by other unaward-winning authors in the audience.He mocked unscrupulously with a voice that only Wang Yong and Qian Xiaozheng could hear.Then let out a disdainful laugh, turned around and left Wang Yong's position.Qian Xiaozheng was angry, stood up and wanted to find Lao Qin's theory, but was pulled by Wang Yong: "Don't be impulsive, this is a public occasion." ”"But I just can't swallow this breath, you didn't see the old thing's expression just now, it's so bad" "I saw it.But we can't really hit him, there's only one best way to fight him back. ”Wang Yong said lightly.When Qian Xiaozheng heard Wang Yong's words, his eyes immediately widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Big brother, are you okay at this point, do you still think that the canon of Chinese culture can win awards" The audience in the live broadcast room witnessed this scene throughout the whole process, and they were originally scolding Lao Qin with righteous indignation.After hearing Wang Yong's words, they were all stunned."
What Mr.
Wang means is that he wants to use the award to fight back against that old Qin" "Don't joke, the overall situation has been decided, Mr.
Wang is still dreaming of winning the canon of Chinese culture, but there are only two votes missing, not 20 votes missing, but the differential power system is full of 120 votes, even if the two votes are less to Mr.
Wang, Mr.
Wang will be able to win the award, and there is no door" "Alas, Mr.
Wang must not be able to think about it in his heart, and he is a little stunned."
This time, I didn't even get an honorary award for the canon of Chinese culture, but it's a pity that "I think, maybe there may not even be a judge who voted for the canon of Chinese culture."
It's pitiful to think about it" These barrages in the live broadcast room were taken into Wang Yong's eyes.Qian Xiaozheng was worried that Wang Yong would not be able to open it, so he immediately moved the screen of his mobile phone.Who knew that Wang Yong said: "It doesn't matter, I'm not so fragile."
You've been wondering from the beginning where my fancy confidence comes from, and I'll tell you.From my book, from every word of the canon of Chinese culture.This is a book that I presided over the compilation, a book compiled by top scholars from five countries and three places, and a book that took dozens of scholars to dig out little by little. ”Qian Xiaozheng was speechless.The audience in the live broadcast room was also speechless.Only a few scholars around whispered two words disdainfully: "conceited" on the stage.Director Zhang was about to announce the number of votes for other books, but at this time, he saw a staff member quickly running onto the stage and whispering a word in Director Zhang's ear.Director Zhang's face changed slightly: "Impossible" Minister Cao frowned and reprimanded: "Don't whisper, we don't have anything unsightly in this selection, no matter what it is, we can say it openly and fairly to everyone" Director Zhang said publicly: "The staff counted again, and the votes for each award-winning book were correct, and there was no mistake." ”"The number of votes is correct, then why is the total number missing two votes, where did the two votes go, and this matter must be investigated today, otherwise it will be unfair to the book that is only one vote different from the differential power system," Minister Cao said sharply."
What" Minister Cao's voice did not fall, and the audience was all stunned.Lao Qin, who was beaming with pride, was also stunned in place for a moment, without a smile.There is a book with only one vote difference from the differential power system, that is, there is a book with 119 votes, and there are two books at the same time with more than 100 votes, and the missing two votes suddenly become the top priority, if it is voted for the differential power system, then the differential power system is the champion; If you vote for that book, then that book can overtake the missing vote by 1 vote, who is the book with 119 votes, and everyone looks at the stage in confusion.It's just that Director Zhang was sweating profusely at this time, and how could he have time to announce the answer, he would have taken three steps and two steps, and rushed to the statistics office to find the source of the problem.Minister Cao didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.Such an important awards ceremony, or live broadcast by the media, actually had such an accident.Minister Cao was satisfied, and the atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn, and everyone's thoughts were different.Only Zhou Dao carp is unusually relaxed at this time.The end of his disciple's book was decided, and he had nothing to worry about.He didn't care who the other book that might be counterattacking was.It can't be Wang Yong anyway.Thinking of this, Zhou Daoli also deliberately glanced at Wang Yong.Hmm, Wang Yong's expression doesn't seem to look good, this kind of expression is really cooler than eating a popsicle.Five minutes have passed, and Director Zhang still doesn't seem to have found what the problem is.Just when everyone was impatient, suddenly a staff member tore open the ballot box and shouted in surprise: "I found it, I found it and it was stuck in the ballot box" Then, the staff member gently took down two ballots stuck at a strange angle from the corner of the ballot box.Director Zhang, who was almost crying, finally showed a smile, and he stepped forward to take the two votes.I wanted to open it, but I didn't open it for some reason, but walked back to the stage and said to the audience: "I'm really sorry everyone, something happened."
Thankfully, however, the fairness of the selection was not compromised.These two ballots that will determine the final prize are in my hands at the moment.It's just that before I open it, I have to answer everyone's previous questions.Who is that 119-vote book?"
When the audience heard this, they immediately became interested, and they all craned their necks to listen.Director Zhang's eyes circled, and finally landed on Wang Yong in the front row."
That book is the canon of Chinese culture" exploded as soon as the four words came out.Everyone's faces changed dramatically, as if they had seen a ghost.Only Wang Yong, sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
