That night, Huang Youyi sent a text message to report that he was safe, and Li Xiang gave two sentences. One night passed, and the next morning flew to Shengjing. I went home first, but there was no one at home, only Don's kitten, and the two dogs were gone.

Master Dou Dou was in kindergarten, and Li Chaohe and Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't know where they went, so they probably walked their dogs. Li wanted to put down his backpack, didn't stay at home for long, and went to the studio.

There have been a lot of things going on in the studio these days, and since the announcement of the cooperation with Akutagawa Aika, the media have gathered like dogs who smell bones, and many requests for interviews have been received.

Li Xiang had already told Wang Yinzhen yesterday that she should let her participate, or she would arrange someone to participate, such as Xie Cheng, who is in charge of the market, it is really not good, and it is okay to let Zhang Zhenjie, who is in charge of legal affairs, go on. Li Xiang can't be on every media, but some media have to deal with it, so they can only send people from the studio.

After Wang Yinzhen reported these things to him, he left him two media interviews, which could not be shirked no matter what. One is from CCTV and the other is from the official Lefu, which is really hard to push off.

Wang Yinzhen said: "November 10th is the Volvo brand night, they have sent a formal invitation, this is a must to participate, you have to prepare early, according to the contract, you have to ......"

Li wanted to interject and say, "I'm going to write a song for the Volvo brand, right? I see, that's what the contract originally wrote." ”

Wang Yinzhen said: "It's not too early, we have to start preparing." ”

Li Xiang said: "I know, I've been thinking about it for the past few days." ”

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not to write songs for the Volvo brand, this is only nominal. The song belongs entirely to Li Xiang personally, just sung on the brand night, and it is claimed to be a new song of in-depth cooperation between him and the Volvo brand, and in the future, this song will also be licensed to the Volvo brand, which is written in the endorsement contract. Therefore, since it is related to the car, the song must be on the side of the car, and it cannot be unrelated.

Wang Yinzhen said: "Also, Ding Ding Book City and Huaxia Bookstore want to find you in the near future, and I want to report to you about the overseas sales of "The Old Man and the Sea". ”

Li Xiang said, "Then make an appointment, how about next Monday?"

Wang Yinzhen said: "I'll contact them. ”

Speaking of "The Old Man and the Sea", Li Xiang immediately thought of Zhou Jiayi, the translator in the studio. She didn't know how to translate "I Am a Cat" and "Love Life".

Wang Yinzhen said: ""Love Life" has been completed, and "I Am a Cat" is also halfway through. English, Japanese, French, Spanish, etc., these major languages in the world are being translated at the same time, and Zhou Jiayi is responsible for the coordination. Because there are a lot of jobs and people involved, there is no place in the studio, so she is now going to work in Ding Ding Book City, and she will come to the studio every week to report the progress, and usually Xiao Xia is mainly contacting and tracking her. ”

While thinking about what song to prepare, Li Xiang left the studio, came to the school, and found Bai Su's office. He had just finished class and was resting from reading the newspaper.

Li Xiang said: "Teacher, I have finished reading "Mighty River", and I have a few immature opinions that I want to discuss with you. ”

When Bai Su heard this, he happily beckoned him to sit down and said, "Just wait for you, if you don't come, I will look for you." ”

The two chatted for a long time in the office.

Bai Su asked, "The overseas translation of "The Old Man and the Sea" is almost ready, right? ”

Li Xiang said: "It's almost good, it should be able to be issued overseas in November." ”

Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”

Li Xiang asked, "What's wrong?" Actually, he didn't think it made much difference if it was earlier or later. ”

Bai Su said: "It's almost the end of the year, and there are still two months to go, if you miss these two months, then many literary awards won't be awarded, and if you count it into next year, you will have to wait until the year after tomorrow, which will delay too much time." ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Isn't "The Old Man and the Sea" already released? ”

Bai Su said: "There is no problem with the awards in China, they can definitely be evaluated, I mean those international awards, for example, if you don't release the English version, then you can't get the awards in the English literary world, such as the Pulitzer Prize in the United States, and the Booker Prize in the United Kingdom." For example, if you don't release The Old Man and the Sea in Czech, then you won't be able to win the Kafka Literary Prize. ”

Li Xiang: "Ah, that's right, but the awards you mentioned are all top international awards, and I don't know if I can get one or two awards for these awards." ”

Bai Su said: "In terms of quality, I think it can be shortlisted at least. ”

Actually, he doesn't have much confidence, the quality of "The Old Man and the Sea" is there, but Li Xiang is too young, and sometimes the awards are really not based on the works. The reason why he said this is actually that he has a greater hope that Li Xiang can be shortlisted. Being able to be shortlisted is the biggest victory, which can bring great prestige to Li Xiang.

Zhou Heduo from the next office came over to say hello, and when she saw what they were talking about, she couldn't interject and left.

Although she left, she didn't know if she notified people or what, and then Gong Fangfang came in the office, that is, the great writer introduced by Forestry University this semester, the pioneer of the stream of consciousness, the kind that gave Li Xiang a headache. Not long after, Wang Hongxiang also came, and the four of them sat around the sofa to talk about literature.

When it was dark, Wang Hongxiang was very interested in talking, and proposed to have dinner together and chat while eating. Naturally, everyone had no objections, and Li Xiang immediately called Xiang Xiaoyuan to inform him that he would go home after dinner.

Dou Dou installed an antenna radar on the top of his head, as soon as Li Xiang's phone came, she sensed it, and Buling Buling ran to the foot of Xiang Xiaoyuan, raised his little head, pricked up his little ears to listen, and saw Xiang Xiaoyuan hang up the phone, and immediately said unhappily: "Is the elephant not going home, do you want our duck, Mom, should we fire him?"

At the dinner table, Dou Dou proposed that the whole family raise their hands to vote on whether to expel Li Daxiang, her brother, from this family, and give him some color to see, otherwise he will never go home.

After speaking, she was the first to raise her hand, and she was the only one who raised her hand, and finally came down stupidly, muttering, never mentioning this matter, let's concentrate on eating. The elephant, her brother, can't be fired because everyone gives him face.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Xiangcai returned home, Master Dou Dou finished taking a bath, but he hadn't slept yet, and was still watching TV with his mother on the sofa in the living room, in fact, the main purpose was to wait for Li Elephant to come home.

Dou Dou: "Ha~"

Li thought: "What are you ha?"

Dou Dou: "Our family doesn't want you." ”

Li Xiang ignored her, found the backpack in the room, took out the small sweater prepared by his grandmother inside, and said, "Grandma knitted a sweater for each of you, see if you can wear it." ”

The teacher happily took the little sweater and looked at it over and over happily, not in a hurry to wear it.

Dou Dou on the side couldn't wait to burrow his head into the sweater, and said happily: "The Lun family will wear the sweater knitted by grandma to Xiaoyuzi's house tomorrow...... Ouch, do Mother Duck a favor. ”

Xiang Xiaoyuan saw that she couldn't wear it, stuck in her neck, and wanted to net herself, like a bird that threw herself into a net, she couldn't stand it, pity her, and help her get in.

"Look, stand up straight, mom see if it's suitable. Xiang Xiaoyuan said.

Dou Dou stood in the living room, laughed, and then said with a bitter face: "Hey duck, I'm so tired duck~~ Hey duck, my flesh hurts so much." ”

Li Xiang looked at it and smiled, this yellow sweater was obviously smaller, and it was strange that Dou Dou was not uncomfortable wearing it.

"Mom save me duck~~~ I'm going to take it off!" Dou Dou shouted, the more uncomfortable he was, like a little human spirit tied up by a fairy rope, constantly tightening, about to kill her.

With the help of Li Xiang and Xiang Xiaoyuan, and in the cheering of the teacher, Dou Dou finally took off his sweater, and his beautiful hair became a mess, like a typhoon had passed, and his face was full of redness.

Director Dou panted, rubbed the itchy baby fat, and said, "Hey, my grandmother, the young lady almost died! ”
