Liu Jingting's first contact with "The Merchant of Venice" was in the textbook of the middle school of the same year, and he was deeply impressed by the deeds of Baucia to fight Sherlock.

In order to kill the life of his opponent, the profiteer Sherlock would rather not take out a loan, but also cut off a pound of the opponent's flesh according to the contract, and Baucia, who pretended to be a lawyer, wanted to suppress the first, first emphasized that he had to act according to the contract, and then pointed out that Sherlock could only cut one pound of flesh, not one more gram or one gram less, and he could not shed blood, otherwise he would be murdering Christians, Shylock lost the lawsuit, and justice finally triumphed over evil.

As one of Shakespeare's four great comedies, the play not only satirizes the mercenary loan sharks of the time, but also enthusiastically celebrates love, friendship, and wisdom, and is a very representative work of Shakespeare's pen.

Although time and place have changed, the positive significance and eulogy of human benevolence presented in the play, once it was staged, immediately resonated with the audience, and the news of Liu Jingting's stay in Venice "The Merchant of Venice" quickly became a great story in the literary world.

At the beginning of March, the performance of "The Merchant of Venice" in Rome specially invited the Chinese ambassador to Italy to watch, which aroused enthusiastic reports in the Chinese media, including the daily news, but after the news spread in China, some people soon began to speculate that Liu Jingting's move was to call out "Waiting for Godot" and "Gitanjali", after all, the latter two are currently the most popular works for the Nobel Prize, and Liu Jingting is inevitably anxious because of the Nobel Prize bet.

"Where's the sealed pen?"

"So, is Gu Yongsheng's sealed pen declaration only valid in China?"

"I watched the performance of "The Merchant of Venice" on YouTube, and the drama is good, but are you sure you want to apply for the Nobel Prize in Literature?"

When the voices of skepticism and ridicule in the country were just emerging. Everyone habitually locked their eyes on the guest of the East, wanting to see what kind of hilarious jokes he had about this matter. However, before the Oriental guests had time to make a move, Tiandao Youchang, the executive editor of "Craftsman's Record", took the lead in posting a counter-questioning post in "Huashan on the Sword": "Why are netizens from other countries cheering for us. And we are blackening ourselves?"

Chang Youdao put several screenshots of Twitter and Facebook in the post, quoted relevant reports from mainstream media in several European countries, and then asked again:

"Could it be that in our attitude towards the development of literature and art, our tolerance is not comparable to that of foreigners?"

Chang Youdao's post quickly got a large-scale response from Gu Yongsheng's readership, in the past, Oriental guests came forward to black Gu Yongsheng, Gu Yongsheng himself and the editor of "Craftsman Record" rarely responded, this time it is rare to be so active and active, everyone's fighting spirit was quickly ignited, and all the doubts and malicious ridicule were encircled and suppressed. Before the "professional black" and "passerby black" who have not yet formed a climate have had time to fight back, the domestic mainstream media began to exert their efforts to severely denounce these statements with ulterior motives.

"Liu Jingting Remains in Venice" is a representative event of people-to-people cultural exchanges between China and Italy, which has a certain positive significance for the diplomatic interaction between China and Italy and even between China and Europe, and is a matter worthy of the common joy of the people of the two countries.

"This is not the time for you to be clever. ”

When it comes to the issue of position, the mainstream media and netizens rarely stand together, and the "small group of people" who tried to make waves quickly disappeared into oblivion, after all, no one can monoclonally resist such a strong pressure of public opinion. And the power behind public opinion is not something that ordinary netizens or even well-known commentators can resist.

The Oriental guest did not say a word about this matter from beginning to end, but enthusiastically eulogized "Waiting for Godot" and "Gitanjali", analyzed the various factors that led them to win the Nobel Prize, and once again showed a keen sense of public opinion and excellent online combat skills.

"He's reminding everyone in his own way. Don't forget the Nobel Prize, and don't forget the three-year covenant of our boss. ”

There is often a saying that a post can cause such a powerful chain reaction, and the mood is really comfortable. When it comes to the guests of the East, it is even more point-to-point that its intentions are pointed out.

"The Nobel Prize registration date seems to be February. Have you heard that the boss has signed up?" asked Su Jin.

"No, I don't. Green Pepper replied.

Kang Lingyue raised her head and stopped talking.

Chang Youdao pondered for a while. "Anyway, let's just keep our blind confidence in our bosses as always." ”

……

The owner, Liu Jingting, is now standing at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the "roof of Africa".

This is the second place that Liu Jingting visited after traveling separately from Xu Qing, the first place is the Great Rift Valley, about 160 kilometers away.

"In the face of the majesty of nature, the individual is simply insignificant. This is Liu Jingting's most profound insight in the past week.

The second perception is that sitting in front of the computer for a long time and lacking exercise, when facing this level of high mountains, you will feel that you are really weak.

In March of the tenth year of the pavilion, Liu Jingting climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and returned halfway.

After returning to the hotel, before she had time to unload her mountaineering equipment, she received a call from Aunt Qing who was far away in Paris, in order to rush to Paris to participate in the big fashion week, she specially entrusted Liu Jingting to a trustworthy travel friend, and it was originally a planned plan to travel separately, but it was only a week after separation, Xu Qing realized the importance of bringing a little friend who could brush his face.

She was going to the fashion show on site, but she didn't get an invitation, and in previous years, Travel magazine had applied for her in advance, but as she moved to Craftsman, this benefit naturally disappeared.

"At least now that I'm still your employee, this reasonable benefit application shouldn't make you feel embarrassed, right?"

“……”

"You must know that we should always pay attention to the trend of the world's forefront, understand what young people are thinking and what we are paying attention to, only in this way can the magazine keep pace with the times, do a good job in the selection of magazine topics more accurately, and produce content that conforms to the trend of the times, only in this way can we accurately locate the future development direction of the magazine and ensure that it will not be abandoned by the times in the future competition." Well, now the question arises, where is the forefront of the world trend, that's right, Paris. ”

"Aunt Qing, you don't have to fool me, I'll book a plane ticket right away. ”

"No, I've already booked a plane for you at 11 o'clock tonight, and I'll arrive at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

“……”

……

The plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport at 7 a.m., proving that the world is equal when the plane is late.

When Xu Qing received Liu Jingting, her face was as if nothing had happened, and she talked about him for five or six minutes, and found that Liu Jingting did not mention the invitation letter or fashion week at all, and finally couldn't help asking: "What do you think about the invitation?"

Liu Jingting rarely saw Xu Qing so vulnerable, he was amused in his heart, and said quietly on his face: "When I first came out of "The Little Prince", I met a publisher, and I contacted him. ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "That's right, this way is right, because the main guests of Fashion Week are the editors-in-chief or top writers of some fashion magazines, and your publisher friend will definitely be able to help you introduce other ways even if he doesn't receive an invitation." ”

"Aunt Qing, why did you say that it seemed like we were going to do something harmful?"

Xu Qing asked him, but he didn't refute it, and smiled.

At this time, Liu Jingting took out his mobile phone, checked the text message box, found the message sent by Kang Lingyue, and then directly dialed the number in the message.

"Hey, who's who?" said a young woman's voice on the phone.

"Senior Sister Xie Pei, I'm Vientiane Q9 Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting introduced himself.

Xu Qing, who was next to her, heard Liu Jingting call out the word "Xie Pei", and her expression immediately became rich, Xie Pei, one of the world's top ten fashion designers, does have the charm to change the color of a woman who understands the fashion circle.

"That Liu Jingting junior brother of Gu Yongsheng?"

"Yes. Liu Jingting replied with a smile.

"Haha, I have admired the name for a long time, by the way, Senior Brother Jingting, how do you know my private number?"

"Ask the teacher for it. ”

"Headmaster?"

"Yes. ”

"Great, are you coming to France now?"

"I'm in Paris right now and I want to go to a fashion show to increase knowledge, but ...... Well, there are no invitations. ”

"Huh?" Xie Pei was surprised, "If the organizer knows that you are also interested in the fashion show, how many invitations have been sent, and where are you now?"

"Just got out of Charles de Gaulle airport. ”

"Then you can come over directly, call me when you arrive, I'll pick you up, by the way, how many of you are?"

"Two. ”

"Okay, come over here. ”

Liu Jingting hung up the phone, and Xu Qing asked, "How do you know Xie Pei?"

"She is a graduate of Vientiane Q5, my senior sister. ”

"Vientiane, it's really that powerful. ”

Liu Jingting nodded as a matter of course, and then asked, "Where was the fashion show held?"

"The Louvre. Xu Qing replied incredulously.

……

When Xu Qing and Liu Jingting rushed from the airport to the Louvre, the Swedish Academy of Letters was holding an important vote on the resolution: Will Liu Jingting enter the nobel prize in literature?

Raise your hand in agreement. ”

As soon as Long Defu's words fell, Academician Niu Kailang was the first to raise his hand, followed by the female academician, and then four other academicians raised their hands.

6:9！

Eliminate!

Sitting in the Louvre, Liu Jingting, who was sleepy and energetic watching the catwalk, suddenly sneezed, and the whole person instantly woke up. (To be continued......)
