In the blink of an eye, it was late November of '99. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The cold wind blows, the weather is cold, the winter in the capital is coming, and even the surface of Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace adjacent to Peking University is covered by ice.

Since the release of the nomination award of the 5th Mao Award in late August, the 25 nominated works have entered the publicity period.

In addition, the judges will also carefully read and consider the nominated works.

Xiao Fei knew that after the nomination of this Mao Award came out, it would take more than a year of evaluation until October of the new millennium for the final award-winning works to come out.

By that time, he was already a senior.

"Brothers" continues to sell well in the United States.

From its release in March this year to late November, the book sold more than 1.4 million copies in the United States in seven months.

Langdon has been divided into two and paid royalties to Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fei has received a total of more than 400 million US dollars in royalties, which is much higher than the royalties of the book "Brothers" in China.

Even in November, the monthly sales of "Brothers" were much less than at the beginning, but they still remained at 40,000 copies a month.

At the beginning of November, Xiao Fei received a call from Random House: they were going to release Xiao Fei's new book "Twilight" on November 29.

Before the publication, Random House will hold a special press conference to announce to the world the news of Xiao Fei's new book in English.

The launch will take place on November 20.

Langdon hopes that Xiao Fei will arrive in the United States on November 18 to appear at the press conference.

Xiao Fei naturally readily agreed.

I have never been to the most developed country in the world in my previous life, but I have the opportunity in this life, and I still go out to see this world of flowers.

Xiao Fei had already applied for a passport, and now he needs to go to the U.S. Embassy in China to apply for a visa.

After receiving Langdon's notice, Xiao Fei told Xu Fengjuan about it as soon as possible.

"Juan'er, why don't you take a few days off and go play with me for a few days?" Xiao Fei smiled and asked Xu Fengjuan for her meaning.

Xu Fengjuan hesitated, frowned and whispered, "It's about to take the exam again, this semester's classes are so tight and difficult, I won't go with you, right?" ”

"Okay then, when we finish our studies, there won't be so many things to worry about, I'll take you around the world." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

"Hey, hey! That's what you said, don't cheat! Xu Fengjuan laughed.

"Hmmm! Juan'er, what I said to you seems to have always been true to my word, right? Xiao Fei shrugged and said.

Xu Fengjuan's face turned red, glanced at Xiao Fei and said, "Xiao Fei, when we finish our studies, let's get married, and when we spend our honeymoon, you can take me around the world to see the flowers." ”

"Well, we'll get married when we're done."

"Then, pull the hook!"

"Pull the hook, pull the hook!"

……

Xiao Fei's visa application went smoothly, and the US Embassy did not make it difficult. After all, he is now a famous Chinese writer, and this time he went to the United States on a legitimate business trip, and there is nothing to investigate.

Xiao Fei went to Lu Zelin to ask for leave after getting a visa.

In Lu Zelin's office.

"Teacher Lu, I may have to go out to the United States in the next few days, and I will have to wait a week or two, and I can't come to school." Xiao Fei sat on the sofa and smiled to explain his intentions.

Lu Zelin sighed, this student almost took long vacations every three or five days, and he was much busier than him, the head of the history department.

However, even so, Xiao Fei was able to ensure that all the courses he took were excellent.

He made almost all the teachers who taught him feel helpless and hopeless...... A student who can get a high score without listening to their lectures and relying on self-study is already an existence that they can't imagine.

"Xiao Fei, what are you doing in the United States?" Lu Zelin poured Xiao Fei a cup of tea and asked.

"I'm going to publish a new book in the United States, and the American publishing house is going to hold a special press conference, and I need to be there." Xiao Fei explained.

"Oh, that's right. What book are you going to publish this time? Lu Zelin asked with a smile.

"A fantasy novel." Xiao Fei said.

"Oh?" Lu Zelin suddenly realized a question, "You said you were going to publish a new book in the United States?" Not an English translation of your old domestic book? ”

"Yes, a new book I wrote in English." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Fei wrote "Twilight" in English and signed a publishing agreement with Langdon, he only told Xu Fengjuan, and no one else knew about it.

"Oh! Why did you suddenly think of writing a novel in English? However, it is also a good thing that you do this, at least it will improve your English writing skills, which will be especially important if you are doing research in the future. Lu Zelin didn't make a fuss.

In China, if you want to be a top scholar, you have to learn English well.

Because a lot of first-hand research materials are written in English, and if you want to publish a high-impact paper, you have to write it in English.

Therefore, none of the famous professors in China will be very bad at English.

Lu Zelin's own English is also very good.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I think so too." Xiao Fei smiled.

Several leaders of the school approached him several times and talked to him a lot, and wanted Xiao Fei to stay in school, but Xiao Fei politely refused, and Xiao Fei told them that he didn't want to be a scholar.

But the school told him to think about it again and give an answer before graduation.

It's a really troublesome thing.

"Hmmm! When your new English book comes out, give me a copy to study, okay? Lu Zelin said.

"No problem, Mr. Lu. That, my fake ......"

"Your leave, if you approve it, if you don't allow it, you won't be able to do it, and the school can't hold you back." Lu Zelin said with a soft smile.

……

On November 16, the cold wind howled in the capital.

Aerodrome.

Xu Fengjuan and several classmates came to see off Xiao Fei. Li Peizhen's few people stood far away, leaving room for Xu Fengjuan and Xiao Fei to speak considerately.

Xu Fengjuan: "When you go to the United States, you must take care of yourself. ”

Xiao Fei: "Well, don't worry, Juan'er. ”

Xu Fengjuan hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and said with a smile: "I heard that the children are very open, I hope you can control yourself and don't make mistakes." ”

"Hmmm! Rest assured, as soon as I got on the plane, I was possessed by Hui Yanagishita and turned on the mode of sitting and not messing up. Xiao Fei laughed.

"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and get in, it's almost time to go through the security check." Xu Fengjuan pushed Xiao Fei and said.

Xiao Fei said: "Then I'll go, Juan'er, you should take care of yourself, don't study so hard, it's not worth it to exhaust yourself, you won't do anything in the future, I can afford to support you, why do you have to live so hard, isn't it stupid!" ”

"You're stupid! Do people want to live out their own value? Xu Fengjuan gave him a big health ball.

Xiao Fei smiled and stretched out his arms to hug her.

Letting go, he turned and walked towards the security checkpoint. (To be continued.) )
