Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

But even though these people all voted for Kevin, Barra's number of votes was still much higher than Kevin's, which made Wall more and more puzzled. At the same time, I was also worried that in the end Kevin's title of gold medal writer would really be taken away by Barra.

"Dear Mr. Wall, don't worry. There are still many readers who haven't read this article, and maybe they will vote for me after reading it." Kevin was still so confident at this time.

"But even if they voted for you again, I think it would be hard to overpower Barra."

"No, no, no, we must believe in the power of readers. Didn't you say that Barra only publishes a few articles every year? Then his readers will not be many, and his stability will be even less." Kevin analyzed. .

Even so, Wall always felt that something was wrong. That is to say, Barra, who he suspects, may have swiped the ticket. Because it is not the first time that the phenomenon of swiping votes has appeared in the British literary world.

As early as a few years ago, some writers wanted to gain high popularity by swiping tickets to achieve their goal of winning awards. But after these people were discovered, the ending was quite miserable. Because this is a country that pays attention to literature, swiping tickets is also taboo in the industry. Once it is determined that a certain writer has swiped votes, it is estimated that no newspaper or periodical will dare to accept the article written by this writer.

In the eyes of the British, a person who does not keep integrity is a breach of moral standards, and how can such a person deserve to write articles to teach others?

Therefore, if Wal finds out that Barra is really suspected of fraudulent votes, for the sake of the justice of "Time" and the British literary world, he will definitely not let it go.

Jennings is the Minister of Education in the United Kingdom and a member of the country's House of Lords. He is an old man in his fifties with white hair showing his age. And that somewhat thin body.

As a minister struggling in education affairs, Jennings naturally paid attention to British literature. After all, he has to think about what kind of articles can play a deep role in children's education.

Therefore, Jennings usually likes to subscribe to some literary newspapers and periodicals. For example, "Time Magazine" is a newspaper he often subscribes to.

He also bought a copy of this issue of "Times Weekly" this morning, just because he was busy with work. He didn't have time to read the articles in it until evening.

Jennings is different from other readers. He likes to read newspapers and periodicals from the beginning to the end. Therefore, in the evening, he reads Time Magazine from the beginning to the end.

When he saw the title of Kevin's "On Jealousy\

,"He didn't have much expectation in his heart. After all, he has read countless books and knows that there are too many articles written about "jealousy". He doesn't believe that the current article can be so good or different.

But the habit of easy reading made him read this "On Envy" seriously. Then ten minutes later, he raised his head with a surprised expression on his face.

"That's great. This is the best article I've ever seen on the type of 'jealousy'. Hey, it was written by Kevin. It is said that he is a literary genius. After seeing this article, I believe it now." Zhan Ning Si said to himself.

Jennings couldn't put it down to Kevin's "On Jealousy", and he felt that British writers should write more such works. Because it describes the heart of human nature very well, and everything about "jealousy" mentioned in the article is so unique and rich in philosophy.

"Maybe this article will let people know all about 'jealousy', maybe it can become a textbook article in British secondary school textbooks."

After Jennings read it several times. Can't help but make such a sigh.

The UK in this parallel world is different from the UK on Earth. The content of their textbooks is mostly determined by the Minister of Education. So, as the UK's Education Secretary. Jennings has also been busy screening the content of middle school textbooks these days.

Just yesterday he was still worrying about which article he should choose to be included in this middle school Chinese textbook. Now that he read Kevin's "On Jealousy", he seems to have the answer.

So, he recorded the information of Kevin's article in his notebook, and then called Time Magazine to get Kevin's phone number.

Since it was already night, he didn't call Kevin right away, and chose to call the next morning.

Kevin had just finished his breakfast when he saw a call from a stranger, so he thought for a while before answering the call.

"Hi, good morning. I'm Kevin, who are you?"

"Dear Kevin. Good morning, I'm Jennings. That's the British Minister of Education." Jennings directly identified himself.

"So it's the honorable Mr. Jennings. It's a pleasure to speak with you on the phone."

Based on his memory, Kevin naturally knew the identity of Jennings as the Minister of Education, so he was very polite and respectful to him at this time.

"Dear Kevin, it's a pleasure to answer the phone with you too. Oh, I've read your article, and it's very good. Maybe there should be more talented writers like you in the UK."

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm just doing what I like to do. I think it's all wonderful."

"Okay, Kevin, don't be modest. I called this time because I have something to discuss with you. Can we meet?" Jennings asked politely on the phone.

When Kevin heard that he wanted to come to see him again, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he always had to meet people who came to Edinburgh to find him.

Of course, an exclamation is always an exclamation. It is a very honorable thing for the British Minister of Education to come and chat with me.

Therefore, Kevin said with a happy expression: "Of course, this is my honor. And the beautiful city of Edinburgh will always welcome you, respected Mr. Jennings."

"Well, I'll be there this afternoon." Jennings said excitedly.

"Ah! Honorable Mr. Jennings, you say you're coming to Edinburgh this afternoon?"

"Yes, is there a problem? If so, I can take it another day."

"No, no. Then I'll get ready for your arrival. See you this afternoon."

What surprised Kevin was that Jennings' speed was too fast, because he was still in school today, and now it seemed that he could only take the afternoon off to meet Mr. Jennings.

It's just that Kevin is also very curious about what Jennings came to find him. After all, before that, apart from seeing photos of Jennings on TV, Kevin had no contact with them at all. (to be continued)
