Chapter 817: Chinese Pride

The Lantern Festival came as scheduled, and when Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan followed their son to drive towards the deep alley, Chu Lan was suddenly a little scared.

"Look at this gloomy sky and narrow alleys, why do you feel like going to Beijing No. 81?"

Zhang Chu complained while driving: "Mom, you don't watch more horror movies, just watch ghost stories, don't take it seriously." ”

"But to be honest, many people should have died in these courtyards, you have to pay attention to living alone, or I will go back and help you ask for a Buddha?" Zhang Bowen was also a little worried, and the Chinese have always had a lot of superstitions in this regard.

Matcha poked her head out of Chu Lan's arms, flashed her paws, and meowed twice!

It's as if he is saying that he is here to protect the shovel officer.

The alley is not deep, just a little winding.

The courtyard here is fundamentally different from the miscellaneous courtyard in the TV set, at least it is much cleaner, and the number of residents is much smaller than that of the miscellaneous courtyard.

The courtyard houses were either bought by wealthy people alone, or they were special hotels, guesthouses, or cultural relics.

Miscellaneous courtyards are usually crowded with several families living together.

Although Zhang Chu doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he has been reborn or crossed over once after all, and he believes in the ability of the system even more!

At least I haven't heard of that ghost that can make a person cross.

"What a big courtyard!"

After Chu Lan put the matcha in the courtyard, he looked around.

Being able to buy such a spacious yard in the Yanjing Third Ring Road, where every inch of land is valuable, is indeed worth more than 100 million yuan!

Changing to a new territory, matcha is a little restrained.

But after a cautious stroll, it began to run around the yard quickly, as if curious about the plants.

Without paying attention, it climbed onto the beam above the hallway.

Zhang Bowen adheres to the ancient adage of not revealing wealth, and he repeatedly emphasized: "There are too many people who are crazy these days, even in Yanjing, we must take precautions." You have to hire a special security company and bodyguards here, and you don't have to be too high-profile, so that the whole country knows about it. ”

"Dad, am I that kind of person?" Zhang Chu replied with a smile.

However, Zhang Bowen nodded seriously, "You were so high-profile and arrogant in the college entrance examination. If it weren't for the fact that you were my son, I would have wanted to cut you, let alone the rest. ”

The previous high-profile was to gain enough reputation to keep the Savior system running in an extremely limited amount of time.

Now he doesn't need to be high-profile in his personal life because the works he carried over are enough to earn prestige points slowly, and he doesn't need to be so high-profile himself!

The bitter fruit that Zhang Chu planted by himself could only swallow it by himself.

Even his family didn't believe that he could keep a low profile, and the rest of the people probably couldn't either.

"It's really worse than Dou E! God can't stand it, this is the snow in February!"

Zhang Chu raised his head and exaggeratedly thought of himself as Dou E on the execution ground, and the weather was really cooperative.

Chu Lan glared at the drama spirit father and son over there, "It's so cold outside, let's go in and have a look." ”

In February, the snowflakes are not big even when they fall, and they melt into water as soon as they touch the ground.

Matcha, a clever little ghost, has been climbing through corridors and carved buildings, and has never had a chance to touch the snowflakes.

……

Just when Zhang Chu's family admired the renovated former courtyard, Qi Guanglei, who was far away on the other side of the world, was excited.

He came to the U.S. with his parents as a skilled immigrant when he was in junior high school.

At that time, his English level was not too high, so he had low self-esteem in school and had few good friends.

School bullying and cold violence have been accepted, and even in order to integrate into American classmates, they pretend not to know Chinese and want to disguise themselves as complete Americans!

Now he can speak fluent English and has a fair-skinned and beautiful blonde girlfriend, but deep down he still regards himself as a Chinese child!

When he was a student at Columbia University, Qi Guanglei gave his classmates Amway many Chinese works, the most famous of which is probably "The Da Vinci Code".

When he found the bilingual version of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" in the school library, not to mention how excited he was!

Over the years, I have never given up learning to write and read Chinese, but I have disguised it well.

Now when he heard the exciting song "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" on YouTube, it seemed that a wave of blood rushed to his heart.

No matter where he is in the world, he is still a flower planter!

On YouTube, the MV of "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" is edited with the content of the rabbit cartoon, and it has more than 5 million hits.

This click level is definitely not comparable to the MV of billions on YouTube, but many works of Chinese kings and queens are only at the level of hundreds of millions on YouTube.

After all, foreigners can't understand Chinese, can't understand Chinese subtitles, and these clicks are all slowly clicked out by Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, overseas Chinese, overseas Chinese, and international students!

After watching this MV, Qi Guanglei followed the comments below to find this animation called "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year".

He left the mainland early, and his understanding of China's history only stayed at the most basic introduction, and he didn't know that he had experienced so much suffering and torture!

Even if he has American citizenship, he can see those rabbits work hard to build the country, and see countless Chinese scientists from all over the world go back to struggle to make mushroom eggs appear under the most difficult conditions......

All of this struck him as new and indescribably touching.

"Maybe I can go back and see it during the summer vacation?" Qi Guanglei only returned to China to see his grandparents once in two or three years, and he almost didn't know what it was like in China.

There are a lot of comments from Chinese and international students under the video of the rabbit, and they all have a similar mood to Qi Guanglei!

"A study abroad rabbit. A foreigner asked me, why do Chinese have no faith? I replied: Yes! The Chinese nation is my faith, and I exist to protect the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Chinese nation!"

"John Bull's Dr. Rabbit returned to China this year to serve the motherland and contribute to the revitalization of the flower planter!"

"The rabbits of the flower growers are all over the world, and the Wanwan rabbit comes to report. ”

"The research monk in Singapore reported, I hope to return to China as soon as possible~~"

"You can't cry, your tears will be frozen. It's so high-energy that it makes you cry when you hear it. ”

"The fourth generation of Malaysian Chinese reported that they have only been to Xiangjiang and have never set foot on the mainland, but they are a little yearning. Whether it is the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, I feel that there is a sense of intimacy, which is the bond brought by culture. The Chinese nation, the descendants of Yan and Huang, is our common name!"

"The future of the flower planter is built by us! No matter where you are, you will always have the blood of Yan Huang and the soul of China!"

The last comment made Qi Guanglei's eyes moist, he didn't even cry when he watched those sensational movies and the rabbit animation, but he was sad because of the approval of a comment.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so disguised in the first place, I should have shown it generously, I have never been a banana man who is yellow on the outside and white on the inside!

Probably Zhang Chu and the people of Hanlin Culture Media didn't expect that when the animation of the first season of "That Year and That Rabbit" ended serialized on the Internet, it would become popular overseas at the speed of light!

Countless overseas Chinese and international students have praised it.

Probably after being away from home, that sense of cultural identity and national pride all came together!

Especially those Chinese compatriots who have been overseas, they are more aware of the hard-won success of today's China at this time, and many people have the idea of coming back to see it.

……

"School is going to start tomorrow, when are you going to finish serializing it?" An Mi said in WeChat, he still doesn't like to chase more, and is going to find Zhang Chu to read the manuscript after the start of school.

"In two days, it seems that the station will set it up to the shelf charging mode, and I will update it in one go. If you want to read it, I'll put it in my Kindle and bring it to you tomorrow. ”

This is a plan jointly formulated by Hanlin Culture Media and Nanhai Publishing Company.

Originally, Zhang Chu wanted to make the whole book free, and the relevant departments also planned to do so!

However, Nanhai Publishing Company believes that the electronic version will have a huge impact on the sales of physical books after it is all free, and the station does not want the serial rights bought at a high price to have no profit.

Anyway, Hanlin Culture is very talkative, so it was decided to start charging after 300,000 words.

When Ammy heard that "In the Name of the People" was going to be completed, the whole person was surprised!

Isn't that just getting better?

It's almost over!

What kind of network is this?

You don't have the luxury of writing 10 million or 8 million words, but you have to write at least seven digits, right?

Now it's only more than 200,000 words, and I'm thinking about finishing the book, will it be unfinished later?

Ominous thoughts rose from An Mi's heart, and he could only pray secretly in his heart, praying that Zhang Chu's book would have a happy ending and not be scolded to death by the readers!

"Wouldn't it be too hasty to finish like this?"

Another little friend, Sun Ruiqi, bubbled and said.

Zhang Chu took his mobile phone and began to type: "It's always been in the plan, and I'm not going to write anything super long." I originally planned to finish the book in 300,000 words, but there was so much more content when I wrote it. ”

It's probably the beginning of the school season, and the friends in the group have woken up from hibernation.

Yang Ling, who hadn't been bubbling for a long time, floated up at this time and breathed: "If you finish the book, I can start reading it." During the Chinese New Year, I was in my hometown, and I didn't even have a 4G signal. I gave this life to Zhang Chu!"

"You have to say it well, but don't recognize your relatives. ”

"Get out!"

Yang Ling sent a kitchen knife expression and then said: "I brought two books back during the winter vacation, one is "The Da Vinci Code" and the other is "Norwegian Forest". As a result, I read these two books more than ten times, and I found several typos in them!"

You can imagine how terrible boring people are.

Zhang Chu thought that Yang Ling would evaporate from the world in the New Year, but he didn't expect it to be in his hometown with a weak mobile phone signal.

With the start of the new semester, they got together again and had a lot of fun.

"Anyway, have you all arrived in Yanjing? If you do, after tomorrow's report and the book, you will come to my house as a guest. My parents have been talking about wanting to see you for a long time!" An Mi invited very warmly, as the host of Yanjing, he naturally wanted to entertain his friends.

Probably everyone has similar thoughts, going to a friend's house if there are elders present will definitely be very restrained, it is better to have a dinner out with friends, that is more casual.

So Zhang Chu pondered the sentence and replied, "You can help me thank my uncle and aunt for your kindness." My parents are here in Yanjing, and they will definitely not be able to leave tomorrow. After the school starts, a few of us can get together near the school or come to my house, and come to my house to have a barbecue!"

"It's not good to have a barbecue in your house, and you don't want carbon monoxide poisoning. Yang Ling first denied the invitation, "Let's eat outside, and wait for Zhang Chu to send his parents home." ”

This kid probably doesn't know what he has denied, and he won't be poisoned by having an open-air barbecue in the courtyard.

Zhang Chu originally wanted to surprise them, but now it looks like he has to postpone it!

"When spring comes, we can go on an outing and step on spring or something. Maybe Zhang Chu, your new book will be settled. You guy, don't you have what to write in your head?"

"Congratulations, you answered correctly. Every writer has a myriad of ideas in their heads, and there are countless ideas and themes for new books. The thing to do is to choose the most suitable thing from it and what interests you the most, and expand it from the idea. ”

Sitting on a bench in the shopping mall, Zhang Chu and Zhang Bowen were playing with their mobile phones, while Chu Lan was enthusiastic to change clothes accompanied by a shopping guide.

They originally said that they would come to Sanlitun to shop around, but Chu Lan started the mode of buying, buying, buying.

At this time, Zhang Chu was very glad that he didn't have a girlfriend, otherwise, it would be troublesome to go shopping with him often!

Several friends on the phone were still chatting together, discussing what to eat next and where to go for an outing when spring arrived, while Zhang Chu was listening to his father's teachings.

"Have you figured out what you're going to do after graduation?"

"If nothing else, I should be the boss. ”

Zhang Chu replied with a smile, it had been a long time since he and Zhang Bowen had had the opportunity to sit down and talk about the future like this.

Zhang Bowen knew that he couldn't give Zhang Chu much guidance in this regard, this kid had gone too far and flew too high.

Originally, he thought that his son's answer was to be a writer, but he didn't expect to be a boss!

This is not wrong at all, now Zhang Chu is already the boss of Hanlin Culture Media, and he has to pay salaries to dozens of employees every month.

"Even if you are the boss, it must be based on your works. If there are no excellent works in the follow-up, your company probably won't last long. Now write less about the proposition works with the relevant departments, don't imprison yourself at a young age, it's too early to provide for the elderly. I haven't even thought about pension, what are you worried about so much!"

"Got it. I probably won't touch the main theme for a long time after that, it's just an explanation. ”

Zhang Chu could feel his father's expectations and worries, and he didn't want to become the royal pen of the relevant departments.

It is enough to write one such work, there is no need to write so many!
