[Two updates today, one more in the early morning]
“You’re done???”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Wenyuan stood up abruptly, and his right hand, which was still holding the teapot, was trembling slightly because of the extreme shock.
"Wei Hong, when you say completed, do you mean only the contents of the catalog are completed?"
This is the only reasonable explanation Yan Wenyuan can think of.
Yan Wenyuan saw how busy Zhao Weihong was this semester, and even advised Zhao Weihong many times not to work so hard.
But Zhao Weihong fully displayed the same momentum she had used to deal with Shi Jidong in the recruit company.
In front of Yan Wenyuan, Zhao Weihong agreed very well, and her attitude was so sincere!
But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Weihong was still working as hard as before, which made Yan Wenyuan so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about Zhao Weihong.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
This sentence is most concretely illustrated in Zhao Weihong.
Yan Wenyuan knew how much burden Zhao Weihong was carrying on her shoulders, so naturally he didn't want to say much about the efforts Zhao Weihong had made to shoulder these burdens.
Originally, Yan Wenyuan was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to Zhao Weihong about the editing of textbooks, what should be done specifically and how to carry it out, so that when Chang Luzhi's people arrived, Zhao Weihong would not be in the dark, giving that old guy Xie Guoliang a chance to make irresponsible remarks.
But looking at Zhao Weihong, he seems to be very busy these days.
Yan Wenyuan really couldn't bear to add more burden to Zhao Weihong.
Anyway, the winter vacation is very long, so there is definitely enough time to write a basic teaching material that already has a template.
Who would have thought that Yan Wenyuan was preparing to explain the specific matters of the editing work to Zhao Weihong, who had just completed the final examination.
Zhao Weihong actually said that he had completed the first draft of the textbook?
Table of contents!
What Zhao Weihong completed is definitely the catalog. There is no other possibility!
Facing Yan Wenyuan's complex gaze, which was a mixture of three parts of confusion, three parts of shock, and three parts of expectation.
Zhao Weihong pursed her lips and handed the thick notebook in her hand to Yan Wenyuan.
"headmaster."
"How can I have the nerve to come to you if I have only completed the catalogue?"
Zhao Weihong's tone was very calm, but it caused a huge wave in Yan Wenyuan's heart!
"crash"
He took the first draft handed to him by Zhao Weihong and flipped through it nervously.
Yan Wenyuan's eyes widened, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character out of astonishment, and confusion was written all over his old face!
Twelve chapters, forty-five sections, one hundred and sixty-seven items of basic knowledge, and thousands of basic theories and concepts, supplemented by explanations of specific examples, totaling more than three hundred thousand words.
This is the first draft completed by Zhao Weihong alone.
From the format, to the content, and then to the most important "step-by-step" approach of the textbook.
Yan Wenyuan read it for more than ten minutes, but he couldn't find any problem in Zhao Weihong's first draft from a professional perspective!
Yan Wenyuan also noticed that Zhao Weihong's textbook contained many new concepts that he had never heard of before.
Don't think about it.
These are the new insights and experiences that Zhao Weihong has summarized from his study and teaching during this period, and he directly put them into this textbook!
Somehow, Yan Wenyuan had a premonition.
Perhaps Zhao Weihong's textbook is more professional than the "Overview of Informationized Force Construction" currently used for graduate students!
"Wei Hong, when did you finish this?"
"Just before the exam."
Zhao Weihong's tone was as calm as ever, and she casually stated the fact that left Yan Wenyuan greatly confused!
"To be precise, it was a week before the final exams began."
"At that time, I was thinking of asking you to review it and make some corrections."
"But Principal, you know my character."
Speaking of this, Zhao Weihong showed a "shy" expression and expressed it somewhat embarrassedly.
"If you point out any problems, I will definitely find a way to correct them immediately."
"But the final exam is about to start, and I have to prepare for the exam and plan for the test. I really don't have time to worry about the textbooks."
"So I thought I would give this draft to you for review after the final exam."
"I've been delayed for so many days. I really feel ashamed of your kindness to me."
"Principal. Principal?"
"Are you speaking, old man?"
Yan Wenyuan: “.”
say?
What the hell can I say?
Accompanied by a bitter smile that suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yan Wenyuan's lips moved, and after a long time, he spoke to Zhao Weihong in a trembling voice, which was quite difficult to express.
"So. This first draft"
He shook the notebook, which contained all of Zhao Weihong's hard work over this period of time, in front of Zhao Weihong.
Yan Wenyuan felt his brain go blank. He pinched his thigh calmly, then confirmed to Zhao Weihong with a look of disbelief.
"You finished it a week ago?"
"yes."
Seeing Yan Wenyuan's expression, he felt a little strange.
Zhao Weihong hesitated for a moment, and suddenly became very nervous!
"Principal, is it because my work efficiency is too slow that you are dissatisfied?"
"This is also the first time I'm in charge of this kind of work. I have to compare many things with existing teaching materials and learn from experience, so I can't speed up!"
"With my own mess, there are a lot of things to do, so it has been delayed until now."
There was a strong sense of apology in Zhao Weihong's tone.
It seemed that he felt very guilty for handing this first draft to Yan Wenyuan "so late"!
"But, Principal, don't worry!"
“I have experience now!”
"If I am asked to be the editor-in-chief of a textbook next time, and it is of the same size as this one"
"I estimate that in a month, I will be able to hand over the first draft to you!"
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Zhao Weihong was getting more and more excited, Yan Wenyuan quickly interrupted her and then asked Zhao Weihong to sit next to him.
"Wei Hong"
"To!"
"Don't be so serious, we're just chatting."
"Yes!"
Clearing his throat, Yan Wenyuan stared into Zhao Weihong's clear eyes and asked the question that had just popped up in his mind.
"You just said you were the editor-in-chief of the textbook, right?"
"Don't worry about the first draft, tell me about it first."
"In your opinion, what is the job of a textbook editor?"
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong blinked, seeming to be a little confused by Yan Wenyuan's "incoherent" question.
"Editor-in-chief. Isn't that the person who is mainly responsible for editing?"
"Um"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenyuan nodded, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Weihong's next sentence almost made Yan Wenyuan's eyes pop out!
“So I tried to finish the first draft myself.”
"Principal, am I qualified as the editor-in-chief?"
"Wei Hong"
"I'm here!"
"The principal highly recognizes your enthusiasm for work."
"But have you ever thought about it?"
Having said that, Yan Wenyuan changed the subject and asked Zhao Weihong with a hint of grief and anger!
"You completed the first draft by yourself!"
"What about the rest of the editing team? What are they doing?"
For a moment, Yan Wenyuan really didn't know what to say to Zhao Weihong!
Under normal circumstances, the editing work of a textbook involves at least a few people and at most more than a dozen people, and everyone has his or her own work to do!
Simply put, one person is responsible for writing certain chapters, which are then bound together and handed over to other members of the editing team for review and proofreading.
For some highly professional textbooks, almost every chapter is written by a dedicated person.
Those who are responsible for these tasks are called "editor".
Usually, the editor-in-chief will also participate in some of the writing work.
However, the editor-in-chief's main responsibility is to integrate the contents of each chapter together and ultimately turn these chapters written by different people into a complete textbook.
It is clear.
Editing teaching materials is a task that requires teamwork and collective efforts.
But when it comes to Zhao Weihong, it seems that he has an extremely wrong understanding of the word "editor-in-chief"!
I completed the first draft of this textbook all by myself!
Yan Wenyuan has been immersed in the field of military education for half his life and has also written several textbooks.
But when had he ever seen such a scene?
Don't say goodbye.
Before today, if anyone had told Yan Wenyuan that someone could complete a draft of a textbook of more than 300,000 words on his own in less than two months, and that it would be impeccable in terms of professionalism, educational quality, etc.
Yan Wenyuan would probably have to give him a slap in the face!
One person writes the textbook independently?
Do you think I'm that idiot like Xie Guoliang, who believes in everything?
But now, something that Yan Wenyuan subconsciously thought was absolutely impossible to happen actually appeared before his eyes!
"Principal, isn't that a lot of work left?"
Zhao Weihong scratched his head, then counted on his fingers and started explaining to Yan Wenyuan.
"I wrote that paper, you should know that, right?"
"My goodness, after the main text was completed, the proofreading and other follow-up work took me a full half a month!"
“Now that I have a team, I don’t have to be responsible for these tasks anymore.”
"You mean, let other people take charge of reviewing and proofreading?"
"Correct!"
Go against Tiangang!
So many respected teachers and professionals!
Now that I'm under your command, Zhao Weihong, I'm only qualified to do odd jobs like proofreading?
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenyuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and was just about to correct Zhao Weihong's wrong idea.
But on second thought, Yan Wenyuan suddenly discovered.
If this matter is expressed in a different way, it would sound quite "enjoyable".
With high hopes placed on it by Xie Guoliang, Hitachi has assembled a writing team of the strongest professional talents.
When he came under the command of Zhao Weihong, a "student" from the University of Science and Technology, he could only help Zhao Weihong and do odd jobs.
There is no way to participate in the formal textbook writing work at all!
Isn't this another strong proof that HKUST is better than Hitachi Index?
Plus, that old guy Xie Guoliang seems to be coming along.
"Wei Hong! Very good!"
"You really did live up to my high hopes for you!"
Seeing Yan Wenyuan suddenly become extremely excited and his tone was extremely enthusiastic.
Zhao Weihong was a little confused, but still lowered his head and said very humbly.
"This is what I should do."
"Don't be so modest!"
Speaking of this, there was a hint of emotion in Yan Wenyuan's tone.
"During the student stage, you will independently complete a highly professional and bulky textbook."
“It’s unprecedented, that’s for sure.”
"I don't think anyone will be able to surpass your feat in the future!"
If it were someone else, having achieved such high achievements as a student and received such high praise from Yan Wenyuan, he would probably be extremely happy now.
But for Zhao Weihong, the work of compiling textbooks itself and Yan Wenyuan's high evaluation were all "small scenes" that Zhao Weihong had experienced countless times, and were not enough to cause the slightest fluctuation in Zhao Weihong's emotions.
And speak truthfully.
Zhao Weihong completed this work not for the so-called "merit" at all.
Instead, he wanted to contribute what little "insignificant" strength he could to the information-based and modernized military construction of Yan Country.
Honor, recognition.
These things that others desire are no longer the most important in Zhao Weihong's heart.
What he wants to pursue now is his own life value.
Simply put, it means leaving your name in history!
No matter how much time has passed, as long as the history books are still there, the name "Zhao Weihong" will be clearly recorded, and the contributions he has made to this country!
That's it.
However, Zhao Weihong doesn't care about these "false reputations."
But Yan Wenyuan, the principal who personally handed this task to Zhao Weihong, must not be vague about these matters!
"Take this draft back!"
"Just pretend that what happened today never happened."
Facing Zhao Weihong's puzzled look, Yan Wenyuan explained proudly.
"Wait until the rest of the writing team arrives, then you can bring out this first draft and let them see what our university students are capable of!"
Having said that, Yan Wenyuan patted Zhao Weihong on the shoulder and said very seriously!
"If nothing unexpected happens, I estimate that your draft will be turned into a formal template in half a month and submitted to the General C Military Training Department for approval!"
"As long as the military training department approves it, Wei Hong, I will be the first one to report to the higher authorities and recommend you for merit!"
"By the way, Wei Hong, take a guess."
Yan Wenyuan smiled cunningly, like a naughty old boy, and asked Zhao Weihong with interest.
"What level of recognition do you think you should receive for your contribution to the textbook compilation?"
After hearing what Yan Wenyuan said, Zhao Weihong suddenly remembered that she hadn't received any commendation for a long time.
Although Zhao Weihong doesn’t think recognition is particularly important now.
But who would complain that recognition is too little?
What's more, Zhao Weihong always felt like something was missing after not receiving a new medal for so long.
In addition, he has always had the dream of having his chest covered with medals.
Thinking of this, Zhao Weihong couldn't help but feel a little more expectant about the commendation Yan Wenyuan mentioned.
"I guess there should at least be a reward, right?"
"Maybe I can get a third-class merit?"
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Zhao Weihong acting so "petty", Yan Wenyuan laughed out loud, and then expressed it in a heroic manner!
"Third-class merit, commendation?"
"Wei Hong, you really underestimate our organization's emphasis on professional talents!"
"Based on your performance this time, you deserve at least a second-class merit!"
"Even first-class merit is not impossible!"
