Chapter 84 The Capable Should Do More

Having spent a long time in the military camp, and especially accustomed to this orderly life, Yu Zhen sometimes even thought that he might as well just apply to join the army.

Take the opportunity to spend the first few years of reform and opening up in the army.

When the external environment becomes more open, and the public's understanding becomes more modern and futuristic.

He returned to the mountain at that time.

It can also make it easier to fully immerse oneself in doing something.

Whether you start a business, engage in technological innovation, or continue to be a "senior expert" in the arts and culture circle, you will be more at ease in the future.

Anyway, it's better to be in the present than to be caught off guard and become a target of trouble, stirring up such a storm in Beijing. The prestigious Tsinghua and Peking Universities are now experiencing a great shock due to his unparalleled charisma.

People have self-knowledge.

He knew his own worth perfectly well.

Moreover, with the tide of the times turning, once the country was fully opened, the hearts of the people became restless and restless.

As an era of restlessness and a focus on money and immediate gains arrives, so too does this era of superficiality and short-sightedness.

Many things, and many more people, will remain the same as they should be.

In the future, what kind of deceitful and hypocritical faces will those generations of artists in the arts and literature circles, who want to speak with their works and so-called spiritual nourishment to prove their abilities to the outside world, be transformed by the tides of the times?

All sorts of short, tight-fitting types are destined to continue to dominate the martial arts world...

This painful period of the times cannot be quickly reversed simply by him publishing more works or showcasing his so-called literary talent.

There was no way around it; the Western colonization industry was too developed.

Its unique and abundant fruit is destined to bloom all over China.

It was an ordinary afternoon at the end of August.

Yu Zhen was taken by a military vehicle into the main urban area and went to the renowned Zhongnantang compound, where he received a warm reception from his superiors.

The details of the process cannot be disclosed casually.

This matter involves highly sensitive information; saying too much would make it too easy for it to be censored.

In conclusion, this trip has finally brought to a definitive conclusion regarding his identity as a renowned artist both domestically and internationally, who has been criticized both within and outside the industry for his "unclear identity."

That is, no matter how clear and concise the so-called written identity certificate is, it can never compare to a person who truly expresses their patriotic will through their words and deeds.

Writer Yu, you are a true son of China.

The above even expressed regret and offered comfort to him in person because the relevant authorities were unable to locate his parents and relatives.

What a coincidence!

No sooner had he returned from Zhongnantang than even more unexpected news arrived.

The news came from the foreign affairs department, saying that the US embassy and consulates had sent a special invitation to Yu Zhen, a renowned science fiction writer, to visit the US in September. They said they would consider hosting a live interview program for Yu Zhen on a national television network.

This news, though seemingly ordinary, comes at a particularly opportune time.

Yu Zhen had no idea what others might think.

But Yu Zhen himself was all too aware of the situation and keenly realized that perhaps the series of rectification and investigations launched by relevant departments in Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities with numerous universities in recent times had triggered some kind of mechanism.

"Comrade Yu Zhen, regarding this special invitation to the US visit, were you mentally prepared in terms of your personal thoughts?"

"I wasn't prepared at all, it was so sudden, can I just refuse?"

"Well……"

The staff from the foreign affairs office were astonished by Yu Zhen's response and quickly began to offer advice.

"Comrade Yu Zhen, this is a truly excellent international-level interview that comprehensively showcases the spirit of our domestic literary and artistic workers. I know this must be a lot of pressure for you, but given the enormous influence of your science fiction works overseas, you don't need to worry about anything else. Your live television interview is well-deserved and a rare opportunity. Shall we not rush to refuse?"

"Alright, I'll consider it carefully. In short, I'll follow the organization's advice!"

"Good, that's great. Comrade Yu Zhen, with your statement, you can rest assured. Our foreign affairs department will definitely communicate and coordinate with the US side in advance to ensure that the interview program will proceed without any problems..."

After receiving Yu Zhen's statement, the comrades from the foreign affairs unit immediately left in a hurry.

It seems they need to urgently report to their superiors.

The United States directly invited the most popular young writers through diplomatic channels.

For the relevant organizations, this was a truly remarkable event in cultural exchange between the two sides.

Moreover, the broadcast will be broadcast to the United States’s highly developed television network, directly reaching television viewers from almost all developed Western countries. To describe such a high-level live television program as “walking on thin ice” or “dancing on a knife’s edge” is no exaggeration.

What else can Yu Zhen do about this?

The tree stands out in the forest, and now it wants to shrink back and avoid the storm, but the wind will not stop blowing even if the tree wants to be still!

With such a major event suddenly interfering, it's clearly unrealistic to expect a pleasant return to Shanghai to register for the new semester at Aurora University.

Well, being too outstanding has its most direct cost: losing the freedom to travel freely.

Director Qin personally came to our door the next day.

The meeting immediately placed an extra burden on Yu Zhen's shoulders.

"Xiao Yu, the university semester is starting. As the saying goes, 'Those who are capable should be given more responsibility.' The organization is now planning to assign you an important task: to live and study on campus for a period of time as an ordinary freshman at Tsinghua or Peking University. Use your own eyes and actions to personally verify some things."

Be fully prepared mentally!

"Uh, boss, but I just received a notice from the foreign affairs department that I'm going to the US in September for a scholar visit and to participate in a live television interview for hundreds of millions of viewers."

You... I...

Director Qin glanced at him and said, "Alright, alright, stop with the 'this' and 'that' talk. The capable should do more. The visit to the United States is at the end of September. The specific timing is something we can adjust freely."

Let's keep this separate. You have to take full responsibility for what happened at Tsinghua and Peking University. You have no choice but to agree!

Yu Zhen felt he had been completely fooled. Wasn't this tantamount to Tsinghua and Peking Universities actually admitting him in disguise?!

Moreover, he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of being a "censor".

He personally participated in supervising and evaluating the results of the rectification of the academic atmosphere at Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

How could such a thing be accomplished in ten days or half a month?

In that case, it seems impossible for me to avoid staying at Tsinghua or Peking University for an extended period of study and life, right?

Very well, you bosses, when you get the job done, you make sure the most capable person keeps working, right?

"Director Qin, I have another question."

As you probably know, after the last incident, I became an extremely famous and influential figure on the Tsinghua and Peking University campuses.

"With my face, if I were to appear on the campus of Tsinghua or Peking University again, the average student might not recognize me for a while. But as far as the school's leadership circle is concerned, aren't you afraid that I'll be deaf and useless the moment I enroll...?"
