Rebirth of Cultural System sodu

  Facing Li Bing's gaze, Su Jin was surprisingly calm, with a faint smile still on his face. He said, "Teacher, don't be angry, I didn't mean to blame or complain about you. There are no outsiders here, and to be honest, I know what you're thinking. It does sound ridiculous for a marketing teacher to guide the writing club! However, I think you should be able to see from the club's setup that the school still values it greatly. And I have some reputation in school - before the club was established, Principal Zhou specifically met with me and asked for my opinion on the guidance teacher. Compared to you not knowing, isn't it because I recommended you to the principal that you became the writing club's teacher?"

  "What? You've appointed me as the writing club's teacher?" This time, Li Bing was really stunned. He didn't doubt what Su Zhen said, after all, many things were obvious, and he believed that Su Zhen wasn't lying. But precisely because it was the truth, it made him even more perplexed! He really had no idea why Su Zhen had appointed him as the instructor.

  Su Jin smiled and said: "Teacher, don't be surprised. I have a reason for doing this!"

  "As the instructor of the writing club, although not much thought was put into it, some activities should still be maintained with a certain degree of attention! Last time we had an activity class, I told the members to go online and watch my new book 'Doupo Cangqiong', don't know if you've seen it or not?" Before Li Bing could answer, Su Jin asked again.

  "Battle Through the Heavens"? Ah, I've read it, not bad!" Li Bing replied honestly. Indeed, as Su Zhan said, although he didn't put too much thought into writing for the literary club, as a guiding teacher, he still needed to know about the activity content, otherwise, if one day the school leaders inspected, he would have no way to explain!

  "Doupo Cangqiong" was what he watched online after knowing the content of the previous activity, and it's indeed well-written! Li Bing is not very old, just over thirty, and for these fantasy novels, he is still at an age where he can accept them. When he first started watching "Doupo", he was attracted by the plot and couldn't help but continue to watch, until now, every day on time, watching "Doupo" has become his habit!

  "Hehe, thank you for the praise, teacher! Teacher, do you know why I founded the writing club?" Su Jin suddenly asked.

  "Huh? Isn't it because of interest?" Li Bing was a bit perplexed.

  "Writing is indeed one of my hobbies, but do you think that with my level and mixing with these students can help improve my writing skills? Moreover, I'm busy writing a new book now, is it necessary to guide these young students every day?" Su Jin asked back.

  "This..." Li Bing hesitated. After some careful thought, he realized that Su Zhen had already shown remarkable writing skills when he wrote "The First Time", although it couldn't be said to be outstanding, but compared to these students, he was absolutely a leader among his peers! Most importantly, whether it was "The First Time" or "Dou Po", Su Zhen had already demonstrated his exceptional storytelling ability, and could be said to have already qualified as a writer. At this point, mixing with these students would obviously not allow him to make any progress. So what was the purpose of forming a writing club?

  "Haha, teacher, I know you're one of the few good teachers in our school who truly care about students and put their future at heart! But, teacher, have you ever thought that we're just a vocational school? A junior college! In today's society, having a degree from this school is basically no different from not having one at all! Most of the students here are either poor kids who can't afford high school or university and just want to learn some skills to graduate as soon as possible, or they're useless people who were eliminated from high school and just go through the motions every day. Have you ever thought about where their future is in this society?" Su Jin's tone was slightly agitated.

  "Anyway, vocational schools mainly teach some practical skills. As long as you study hard, there will be a place for you in society!" Li Bing thought for a moment and said.

  "Haha!" Su Jin sneered and said lightly, "Teacher, I'm afraid you don't even believe this yourself!"

  Li Bing was speechless!

  Su Jin continued, "If we really want to study hard, why not just go to high school? Why come to a vocational school? Since we're already in a vocational school, it's destined that we don't love studying. The teacher's words are simply a dead end!"

  "Hum! Then what can you do, this is reality! Our current society is a knowledge-based society, only those with knowledge and abilities can gain respect, money, and status! This isn't going to change because of anyone, it's the trend of the whole society! If you don't study hard, how can you expect to be respected by others? Is that even possible?" Li Bing's voice also became agitated, perhaps Su's words had truly touched his heart.

  "I know it's like this, but that doesn't mean there's no way to change it, and I'm going to do just that!" Su Jin suddenly shouted!

  "What?" Li Bing was shocked and looked at Su Zhen in disbelief. For a moment, he thought he had gone mad!

  "I'm not saying I want to change the rules of society, I'm saying I can change the current situation of this school! I can lead them out of a different path, so they don't need high scores or academic qualifications, but still get wealth and status, and be respected by others!" Su Jin said solemnly.

  Li Bing didn't say a word, he just quietly looked at Su Jing, knowing that she still had something to say.

  "Teacher, since you've read 'Dou Po', I believe you can also understand its charm! What do you think is the future of this kind of book?" Su Jin didn't continue speaking, but instead asked Li Bing back.

  Li Bing's eyes flickered, and he said lightly: "This book is quite enjoyable to read, but after all, it's just a fast-food type. If I have to give a specific evaluation, I think it can't even compare to 'The First Time'! As for its prospects, to be honest, this kind of book is just for entertainment, but there's no depth or substance to speak of. I reckon most people will just read it and forget about it. It's hard to say if it has any future!"

  Su Jin listened and nodded secretly, and had to say that Li Bing's analysis was very accurate. Most networks were indeed like this, but Li Bing's vision was still limited by the times and failed to discover the true advantages of the network!

  "What the teacher said is reasonable, but you're standing at a wrong angle!" Su Jin said calmly.

  "Ah? From what angle did I stand wrong?" Li Bing asked with interest.

  "You are a marketing teacher, but you don't look at the problem from a marketing perspective, instead you look at it from a language teacher's perspective, isn't that a wrong angle?" Su Jin said with a smile.

  "What? What are you talking about?" Li Bing's eyes narrowed and his face turned solemn.

  "Haha, not bad. 'Dou Po' can't be considered literary or have any aftertaste, and it's impossible for people to read it two or three times without getting bored. But so what? I never thought of becoming a literary master! Today we're not discussing how to become a literary master! What we're discussing today is how to help students at Shang Xue grasp a skill, how to truly stand firm in this society!"

  This type of book, I've given it a name - "Internet novel", mainly for online dissemination! This is the fast food category, no doubt about it! But even fast food has its own role! So-called 'vulgar yet refined', if traditional masterpieces are considered 'refined', then internet novels are 'vulgar'! Reading 'refined' works requires appreciation, they require readers to have sufficient literary accomplishment and a certain level of literary foundation. Most importantly, these 'refined' works usually hide some profound things that need readers to think and ponder! This consumes mental energy, so it needs readers to find dedicated time, when they're full of energy, to read!

  And we, the 'common' ones, don't have to be so particular. Our writing is almost completely straightforward, claiming that as long as you have a third-grade elementary school level, you can understand what our books are about. What literary refinement? What literary foundation? None of it is needed! Of course, there's no need to concentrate your energy on reading them either, because these things don't have any depth to speak of. When the reader has had a long day and is exhausted from being tormented by reality, these are the perfect spiritual nourishment! They can take readers on a virtual journey, without requiring readers to expend any effort, guiding them through the most perfect spiritual relaxation!

  Just like other service industries, readers enjoy our services, shouldn't they give us a reward? And this is exactly what we need! One book may be too monotonous, but if there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of books, it becomes an industry! Tens of millions of people will gain a living from it! Will gain money, status and respect!

  And that's the purpose of setting up a writing club, I hope this will become a way out for students in business schools, they can get their own rice bowl and position in society! After a long speech, Su Jin felt dry mouth and tongue, but he didn't notice at all. At this time, his heart was filled with a sense of historical responsibility and mission. Before that, he had some vague ideas, but never thought it would be so clear at this moment. He suddenly felt that this is the meaning of his rebirth!

  Looking at the blush on Su Jian's face, Li Bing was silent for a moment, but his heart was turbulent. He had not expected that a small writing club would have such profound significance! When one is poor, he thinks only of himself; when successful, he helps others. Su Jian's actions perfectly illustrated this saying!

  "What do you need me to do?" Li Bing asked with a heavy tone after a brief pause.

  "Teachers are very important, and your role is also irreplaceable! Do you still remember when I asked you in class how to promote a website? If we want to build such an industry, then a website as a platform is indispensable! We need people to promote this website, the greater the influence of the website, the more beneficial it is for us! And now it's not the era where 'good wine isn't afraid of being sold in a deep alley' anymore. Teachers should understand this point even better. Now there are only a few books online, but I believe that with the rise of 'Dou Po', other networks will soon swarm out! At that time, we'll also need people to teach us how to package and promote it. Is this role not very important? Is it not irreplaceable?" Su Jin said with a smile.

  "Haha, it seems you've been plotting against me from the very beginning!" Li Bing said with a smile.

  "Teacher is wrong, how can you say it's a trick? It should be that I brought a rare opportunity to the teacher, and I believe with the teacher's ability, he will surely make a big show of it. Who knows, maybe the history books will even record a stroke for the teacher!" Su Jin said with a flattering smile.

  "Haha, you're indeed eloquent. I'll entrust my good words to you. Now, is there anything you need me to do?" Li Bing said with a smile, then turned serious.

  "It's simple, with the popularity of 'Dou Po' and the rise of Meng Xiang Wang, I believe that other literary websites will soon be established, and various networks will also emerge one after another. What you need to do now is to make a plan, prepare for the future, so that when the heroes contend for hegemony, we can still lead the way!" Su Jin looked at Li Bing with sparkling eyes!
