Chapter 60: The Dinner Party
Hotel.
Seventh floor, elevator entrance.
Zhou Qin and the physicists said goodbye.
"I'll go back to the house first. ”
"Uh, you really live on the seventh floor?"
"Are you really nominated for a literary prize?"
"Didn't I say that. ”
"Well, you can do it. ”
"Zhou, come and sit with us when you have time. ”
"What floor are you?"
"We were on the eighth floor. ”
"We're on the ninth floor. ”
"Okay, let's move around a lot. ”
Ding, the elevator door closed, and the people continued to sit up.
Zhou Qin, Yang Wei and Sun Tian walked in with their luggage.
Sun Tianlu said with a smile: "Brother Qin stunned them all. ”
Yang Wei smiled and said diligently: "Yes, there are too many industries that Brother Qin is involved in, not to mention foreigners, even if we are domestic people, even if we know people better, if the list of Nobel Prize candidates is really down, everyone doesn't know which award Brother Qin can be shortlisted for." ”
Zhou Qin said: "Actually, any one will do. ”
Sun Tiandao: "Yes, as long as it is the Nobel Prize, we can be on the world celebrity list." ”
"The room arrived. Yang Wei said to the room card, "Brother Qin, this is your house." ”
Zhou Qin took the luggage, "Okay, don't worry about it, you love shopping, you love to eat, you can play casually, and call if you have something." ”
Yang Wei said happily: "Okay." ”
As soon as they left, Zhou Qin opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside. Then I simply sorted out my luggage, looked at my watch, closed the quilt and went to sleep. On the plane, he chatted with a few physicists all the way, and he didn't bother to rest, and there was a dinner party in the evening, so he slept for a while.
One hour.
Two hours.
Ding-dong, the doorbell rings.
Zhang Ye woke up with a yawn, thinking it was Haqiqi and Xiao Wang, so he went over and opened the door.
As a result, when he saw the people standing outside, he was slightly stunned, and he didn't know any of the two foreigners.
Zhou Qin blinked: "You are?"
Outside were a man and a woman.
The man is about forty years old and very elegant.
The woman is in her thirties and is a blonde beauty.
Anthony smiled in English, "Hello, is it Zhou Qin?"
Zhou Qin smiled: "I am." “
Anthony said, "My name is Anthony, a native of the Eagle Country. ”
The blonde said kindly, "My name is Sophie, a Swede. ”
He didn't know these two people, but he still pretended, "It turned out to be Mr. Anthony, Mr. Sophie, hello." ”
Anthony smiled and said: "It's dinner time soon, everyone is a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Sophie and I are about to go down to dinner, and when we talk about your book on the way, we inquired about your room, I want to get to know you and eat together." ”
Sophie smiled sweetly, "Your book, I have been studying it with Anthony for a long time, it is really wonderful, I haven't read a novel that touches people's souls so much for many years, and we are all very happy to know that you have also been nominated for the Nobel Prize, and I think we must get to know the author of "Dou Po". ”
Zhou Qin shook hands with them, "I have also read the books of the two teachers, I am very inspired, I am very happy to meet you, please come in, I will sit in the room for a while." ”
Several of them are famous writers in the world, they have all heard each other's names, and they are not strangers to each other, and after a few polite words, everyone quickly became acquainted. Zhou Qin took out the tea leaves he brought and made them a pot, of course, it was a big red robe.
The system redeemed, and the two of them were full of praise.
Zhou Qin asked, "Are you two?"
Sophie smiled, "Of course not. ”
Anthony said: "Sophie and I met last year, and we both were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature last year, so the procedure is very familiar, if there is anything I don't know here, I am a native of Eagle Country, you can ask me, ask Felicia." ”
Zhou Qin smiled: "That's a good dare." ”
Sophie asked, "There will be a lot of people at the dinner party in a while, so let's introduce you." ”
Anthony said, "Yes, it's your first time here, and you don't know anyone here, so let's go together, and Sophie and I will introduce you." ”
Zhou Qinle said: "Okay." ”
Anthony said: "You have great hopes for the Nobel Prize this time. ”
Zhou Qin said modestly: "You are all nominated for the second time, I can't." ”
Anthony shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the number of nominations. ”
Sophie nodded and said: "Yes, some people have been nominated seven or eight times, and in the end they didn't win the Nobel Prize, but someone won the trophy once they were nominated, and they still have to rely on their works to speak, "Dou Po" is so famous, and the sales have broken many records, and now it has sold 17 million copies worldwide, right? ”
Anthony snorted, "That Indian writer has a terrible temper. ”
Sophie smiled: "I don't like him either, so if we see him, it's better to stay away from him, don't deal with this kind of person." ”
Stay away from him?
Zhou Qin listened to the music.
This has always been said by others, when did he avoid others?
It's almost time.
A few people chatted and took the elevator to the restaurant. It is said that it is a dinner party, but it is actually a buffet, with music, performances, and it is also to let the Nobel candidates get to know each other this time, it is not mandatory, you can come if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to come.
Restaurant.
The violin sounds melodious.
There are already quite a few people who have arrived, and it is very lively.
Anthony is a local and has participated in the Nobel Prize, so he naturally introduced Zhou Qin, a newcomer, to him." Zhou, don't worry about Zhou, the first time you participate in this kind of activity, it is necessary to have a process of adaptation, here are all authorities from all walks of life in the world, mathematicians, chemists, medical scientists, fields are different, we don't have much intersection and common language with them, some people in it may be more old-fashioned, more arrogant, not easy to deal with, so let's just get to know people in the literary world, and we can't enter the circle of candidates in other fields. ”
Zhou Qin nodded.
