"Qu Aiguo, come and host it."
Yu Dong, who was surrounded by people, waved to Qu Aiguo and asked him to start the discussion quickly.
 Qu Aiguo nodded and greeted the students: "Everyone go back to your seats first. The discussion has officially begun."
 It has been two months since school started, and Qu Aiguo has also established his authority in the class. The students all cooperated and quickly returned to their respective seats.
 Then everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their thoughts about this competition.
Yu Dong has been listening carefully. During the listening process, he noticed that the students paid more attention to the topic selection stage.
This "Decoration Design" competition does not have a specific topic, as long as it is an interior design work, you can participate. But everyone knows that there is a huge difference between interior design and interior design.
 First of all, the building type is different, it can be an apartment, a villa, or even an exhibition hall.
Even with the same type of building, the groups of people they face may be different. Apartments are also divided into high-end and low-end, and the people living in them are divided into young and old, male and female.
Students are afraid that if the topic is too small, they will not have an advantage in grading, and if the topic is too big, they may not be able to handle it.
After listening for a while, Yu Dong said: "In this competition, don't worry about the scoring. How to choose a topic mainly depends on what kind of work you want to create. If you like to design an apartment, choose an apartment, and if you like to design a villa, choose a villa.
…Everything should follow your own heart.”
After hearing what Yu Dong said, the students all thought about it seriously. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Dong said a few more words: "In addition to the topic selection, I also heard two things. First, some students were worried about their knowledge of the subject.
If you don’t understand the decorative materials, the works you create will not be realized. Secondly, many students want to grasp popular elements and cater to the market. There is no need to consider these two points. We are majors in arts and crafts. Although we will face crafts in the future, the core
But in art. If you blindly cater to the public and consider decorative materials, your creativity will be limited by them and you will never be able to escape."
“The public’s aesthetics should be cultivated by you, rather than you being led by the public.”
 At this time Wang Kuo raised his hand.
Yu Dong nodded and signaled him to speak.
“Teacher Yu, I can understand your point of not catering to the public, but I don’t quite understand the point of not considering decorative materials. If you don’t even consider decorative materials, the work cannot be realized, and isn’t everything empty?”
Yu Dong laughed, "If in the future, after you graduate and become interior designers, someone entrusts you with a design plan, the decorative materials will definitely need to be considered. But now, I hope you will use your fantastic ideas to present everyone with
Different works come.”
"Students, the times are changing at a rapid pace. New materials that you have never seen before may appear every day. Things that you think are impossible to achieve today may be achieved tomorrow. Maybe one day, the streets will be made of glass.
Houses, even ordinary offices can be covered with exquisite carpets, the color TVs in people’s homes are so big that they need half a wall to display them, and the lights are more gorgeous than you can imagine.”
Wang Kuo imagined the scenes described by Yu Dong and swallowed, "Is this possible?"
Yu Dong shrugged, "I don't know, but it doesn't stop us from imagining. What I mean by saying this is that I hope you will be at the forefront of the times instead of being dragged away by the times."
 The students seemed to understand Dong half-heartedly, and Yu Dong did not expect that his words would make them aware of their time.
He just hopes that someone can listen to his words and let them leave a seed in their hearts. He believes that this seed will eventually grow into a towering tree.
 …
 Before the discussion ended, Yu Dong left early.
After Yu Dong left, Wang Kuo came to Qu Aiguo and whispered: "Didn't our teacher Yu graduate from the Chinese Department? Why does it sound like he knows so much about engineering and art?"
Qu Aiguo glanced at Wang Kuo: "As you said, Xunlu is still a medical student."
 “These two things are different.”
"You, don't care whether these are two different things. Just tell me, does Teacher Yu make sense?"
Wang Kuo nodded: "It makes sense, but I think it is unlikely that the streets full of glass buildings he mentioned are possible."
“Is this impossible? It’s not like there are no glass buildings. The Lever Building in New York was completed in the 1950s.”
“Can that be the same? The glass curtain wall you are talking about is not entirely glass.”
 “Then you are making a point.”
“Okay, even if it’s a glass curtain wall, it can’t be all over the street.”
 “I think it’s possible.”
 “Which big one needs half a wall of color TV?”
 “I’m sure, you can really raise the issue.”
 …
Yu Dong didn't know about the dispute between Wang Kuo and Qu Aiguo after he left. Even if he knew, he would feel relieved. He is not afraid of discussing everything, just afraid that there will be no different opinions.
They can discuss it because of their own words, which at least shows that they have listened to their own words.
 After leaving the classroom, Yu Dong went to have a meal first, and then returned to the dormitory.
 There are two envelopes placed on the table in the dormitory, one is a letter and the other is a telegram, both received in the morning.
The letter was sent by his pen pal "Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Veteran", asking Yu Dong how it was working at Jinyi and what books he was reading recently. He himself still stayed in Jiangcheng to teach.
 The telegram was taken by Yang Xiao, and its content is very simple.
 “Decided, serialized, Wang Laichuan.”
 There are not many words, but the meaning is concise and clear. However, Du Dong even thinks that the word "serial" in the middle can be omitted.
He first wrote his reply to the "Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Veteran", and then studied his recent work and considered when it would be convenient to take leave.
 Nowadays, transportation is inconvenient. A round trip from Jinling to Rongcheng takes at least three days. To be safe, he has to prepare four days.
 After studying for a while, Yu Dong found that he had time next week, and if it was any later, he wouldn't be able to spare the time.
Yu Dong is also an activist. He just did what he said and went directly to Wu Changxin's office.
As he expected, Wu Changxin had not gotten off work yet.
Yu Dong knocked twice at the door. Wu Changxin lowered his head and shouted to come in. Then he looked up and saw that it was Yu Dong. He was surprised and said: "Yu Dong, why are you here at this time?"
“I’m here to ask you for two days’ leave.” Yu Dong said with a smile.
“Are you asking for leave?” Wu Changxin put down the pen in his hand, “What two days are you asking for?”
“Actually, it’s two and a half days, next Thursday and Friday, plus half a day on Saturday morning.”
Wu Changxin squinted his eyes, "Including the weekend, you have four days off. Is there something wrong?"
 “Getting ready to go to Rongcheng.”
“It takes so many days to go to Rongcheng. Can I ask you what you are going to Rongcheng for?”
"I have submitted a novel to "Science Fiction World" and it has been decided and I have to go for an interview."
 In front of Wu Changxin, Yu Dong had nothing to hide. And he was not prepared to hide his writing of science fiction novels from anyone.
 “I don’t know much about “Science Fiction World”, do they still need interviews when accepting manuscripts?”
 “Because the article is relatively long.”
"Oh." Wu Changxin pondered for a while, nodded, "I'm sure, but you have to arrange the things at hand before you go, so as not to delay your work."
Hearing that Wu Changxin had granted leave, Yu Dong thanked him happily: "Thank you."
Chapter completed!
