Chapter 40 Famous Writer McEwan

"Cousin, I'm going to act in a movie!"

Dong Jie let go of Chen Fu, ran to Yi Renxi, hugged her, and kissed her on the face.

"Wow, really? What kind of movie?"

Although Yi Renxi was a little depressed in the scene just now, after all, this was his cousin, and he was still happy for Dong Jie.

The two hugged each other and sang and danced.

Dong Jie's slippers jumped off one and was kicked under the sofa by Yi Renxi.

"Happy Days". I feel very happy to hear this name. ”

The two finally stopped, and Dong Jie gasped.

"Is that what Chen Fu said Zhang Jice wants to guide?"

"That's right. This is a great director. I'm going to take my chance. Thank you Chen Fu. ”

Dong Jie hugged Yi Renxi again and kissed her.

"Look at how powerful Chen Fu is. Or you should kiss him as a reward. ”

"I won't. In that case, the streets of the capital will smell sour everywhere today. ”

"Haha, tickle you. Am I that stingy?"

Yi Renxi said that his hand was about to stretch out to Dong Jie's armpit.

"Good, good. I surrender, sister. ”

Dong Jie raised her hands.

Chen Fu: "You two are really like sisters. ”

Yi Renxi: "The word 'such as' should be removed." ”

Dong Jie: "Sister Xi is so right. ”

Chen Fu: "I made a mistake, forgive me, two little masters!"

Yi Renxi: "Ah, what do you mean by 'little master'?"

Dong Jie: "I haven't heard of it either. Why do you keep coming up with new words!"

Chen Fu: "That's what the master means." Hey. ”

Chen Fu suddenly thought of this humor a little early, and there were a lot of Qing court dramas at this time, but it was not yet popular. As for the title of "little master", it probably became popular with "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Yi Renxi: "Looks like it sounds pretty good." Since that's what you're called, let's do something. ”

Chen Fu: "What kind of action? Buy breakfast? What time is it, eldest sister!"

Yi Renxi: "I didn't want to talk about breakfast, since you have made a suggestion, let's buy two." Also, it's imperative to get out there quickly. I'm going to shower and change clothes. ”

Dong Jie covered her mouth and smiled.

"Then you two need to hurry. Don't wait for me to come back and haven't finished washing. I still have to go to Huaqing University to attend lectures. ”

"Isn't this a holiday?"

"yes. Huang Zhiya told me a few days ago that their school has an English literature lecture today and tomorrow. The famous British writer Ian McEwan was invited. Are you two going?"

"Why, what? I haven't heard of it, and I'm not interested. Yi Renxi said.

"I'm not interested either. Cousin, why don't we go to Wangfujing. I'll check in in the afternoon. It's a pity that I can't invite Lao Chen to eat together. ”

"I'm also interested in shopping. Hee-hee. If Chen Fu doesn't go, there will be one less porter. ”

"Do you want to mix one?" Chen Fu said.

"No, no. My sister and I just had a whisper. Hurry up and buy breakfast. This girl is going to take a bath. When I came back early, I stayed outside, and I couldn't peek. ”

"Hurry up. ”

In those days, breakfast at the Peach Blossom Hotel was still 6:00-8:00, and later changed to 9:00.

Chen Fu wanted to knock on the doors of the other rooms to see if he needed to buy breakfast. After thinking about it, everyone was tired yesterday and came back late, so I gave up. However, breakfast has to be bought per person. With so many young people, it's easy to wipe out a few fritters and a few cups of soy milk.

Fifty meters downstairs is Yonghe soybean milk. When she bought it back, Yi Renxi had already finished washing, and she pointed to the inside of the suite. Listening to the sound of running water, Dong Jie was still washing.

"Do you want to see a picture of a beautiful woman bathing?"

Iren stuck out his tongue.

"Don't dare. ”

"Don't dare, or don't you want to?"

"No, no. ”

Chen Fu said that his hand reached down from her collar, held one, and gently rubbed the red cherry with his thumb.

Yiren blushed, pulled his hand out, and pouted in the direction of the bedroom.

Chen Fu quickly kissed her on the mouth.

After seeing that the time was not early, he set off for Huaqing University.

Yi Renxi and Dong Jie went to Wangfujing.

The rest of the people were led by Boss Cao to move freely.

When they went to college, they were more interested in English translation and linguistics, and the class could not find three who were interested in literature. Coupled with the fact that Ian McEwan, a writer in "The History of Great English Studies" or "Selected Readings of Great English Studies", has not yet appeared, Chen Fu knows that no one is interested in this lecture except him.

In fact, as of October 1999, McEwan has been writing for more than 25 years, and in 1998 he won the Booker Prize, the highest award for English literature. It can be said that he is already a big name in English literature, and he is famous in Europe and the United States.

However, the tradition of teaching foreign literature in China focuses on the study of history and classic works, and in the era when the Internet was not yet developed, McEwan's popularity in China was still very low.

So, when Huang Zhiya told him that he had invited McEwan for today's lecture, he was shocked.

Since his rebirth, personnel changes have been enormous.

When he went to the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2004 to do doctoral research, the object of his research was McEwan. He was naturally very familiar with McEwan's relevant information.

He clearly remembers that McEwan was invited by Renmin University and Tencent to come to China on October 25, 2018. At this time, Chen Fu had long since stopped doing English literature research, and he didn't even think about going to the event site to have a face-to-face exchange with this very distinctive writer.

And Chen Fu was doing research in school for a few years, but he always looked forward to seeing him. Even during the six months he visited Cambridge University, he visited McEwan's hometown of Aldershot and the University of East Anglia, the school where he graduated, more than once. It's a pity that it's all passed by.

This time I came to the capital, and it was a dream come true at this time.

When Chen Fu arrived at the second lecture hall of Huaqing University, Huang Zhiya and Su Siyuan were already waiting at the door.

Huang Zhiya said that she thought Chen Fu would not come.

I also learned from Huang Zhiya that the number of people who came to the lecture this time was more than expected.

When Chen Fu and the two of them came in, sure enough, the second lecture hall, which could accommodate more than 400 people, was almost full. The three of them sat down separately in the last row.

Chen Fu couldn't help but sigh that this famous university was different, there were so many people in a literature lecture during the Golden Week holiday; moreover, the lecture had not yet started, and the lecture hall was not crowded with people, buzzing, and everything was in order.

During his years in Beijing, Chen Fu came into contact with many doctoral students from Peking University, and in the years of entrepreneurship, he was basically mixed in the Peking University circle, and he also co-founded a company with several well-known people who participated in the crowdfunding of Peking University 1898 Coffee, and promoted "Huaishan" yam to create the first share of yam.

There is relatively little contact with Huaqing University. Probably because his master's supervisor, Mr. Li, and his doctoral supervisor, Mr. Lu, both have a deep relationship with Peking University, which has subtly influenced him.

While he was thinking about this, Huang Zhiya, who was separated by a few places, stood up and went out, and soon came back again. Behind her turned out to be Liu Qiangdong.

Chen Fu didn't expect Liu Qiangdong, who graduated from the Department of Sociology, to be so interested in this English literature lecture that he even gave up a great opportunity to make money.

However, he wore a suit and a black leather bag today, which looked more formal than Chen Fu.

Seeing Chen Fu, he smiled and beckoned, sat on the stool temporarily added in the aisle, took out a black notebook, put it on his lap, and added a pen to the notebook.

At 10:20, the host took the stage.

Chen Fu saw that he knew Professor Liu Dashi, a famous scholar at Huaqing University.

Professor Liu originally worked in the Department of Foreign Languages of Provincial Normal University, and was still friends with Mr. Li, Chen Fu's master's supervisor.

In the years when he worked in the university, Chen Fu and him still had a lot of intersections.

If you remember correctly, he was transferred from the provincial normal university to the foreign language department of Huaqing University in September this year.

“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am honored to host this English literature lecture to be done by Ian Mcewan, Booker Prize winner 1998 for Amsterdam, one of his fascinating novels. ... ”

(Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I am honored to preside over this lecture on English literature.) The keynote speaker for this lecture is Ian McEwan. He won the Booker Prize for Literature in 1998 for his novel Amsterdam. As we all know, this is just one of his fascinating novels...... )

Yes, an all-English lecture.

Chen Fu was engrossed.

McEwan stepped up to the floor to the applause of the crowd.
