After being tired of the staircase for a while, Chu He and the two went upstairs.

Upstairs, Aunt Xiao was wiping Director Liu's face, and Director Liu kept waving her hand: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk...... What about Chu He's kid? Why don't you dare to fight with me? ”

This man, when he is drunk, he really has no face.

Aunt Xiao was so angry that she was half dead, Director Liu had already begun to quit drinking, but today in order to pretend to be forced to eat Chu He's dishes, she had to drink Moutai, and she went crazy again.

"Be honest with me, I don't have the time to serve you." Aunt Xiao wiped Director Liu's face with a hot towel and turned around to go downstairs, only to see Chu He and Liu Zhiqing.

Liu Zhiqing was still a little blushing, she always felt that she was degenerate, and she was very ashamed of her mother-Chu He was to blame!

"Zhiqing, Chu He, what are you doing here? Don't pay attention to Lao Liu, he has made his old mistakes again. Aunt Xiao smiled and loved her daughter and son-in-law very much.

Director Liu turned his head and spoke: "Chu He, you come over to me, I will pick up your ......"

He almost didn't sit down when he said it, Chu He couldn't cry or laugh, and went over to help him: "Director Liu, you should pick it up when you wake up." ”

Aunt Xiao next to her wanted to scold again, but was pulled away by Liu Zhiqing: "Mom, Dad is drunk and likes to talk from the heart, let him say it." ”

"Okay, good, Lao Liu can't beat anyone anyway." Aunt Xiao chatted with Director Liu through Chu He, and went downstairs with her daughter without disturbing Chu He and Lao Liu.

Although Director Liu was drunk and more irritable, he was quick to talk, what to say, he actually admired Chu He a little, and shouted for a while and began to praise Chu He.

"Chu He, let me tell you, your cooking skills are amazing, I have a friend who runs a restaurant, and you go to promise to be the head chef."

"Your handwriting is also good, what is it called? I watched it for a night yesterday. ”

Director Liu kept talking, focusing on the book: "However, the domestic literary market is not mature enough and has no authority, you see, those who write books want to win the Yankees' Baiyun Award......"

Chu He was stunned, Director Liu actually talked to himself about literature? It's really disobedient to look at his drunken appearance.

"That's called the Science Fiction Fantasy Literature Nebula Award." Chu He explained.

This award was founded by the American Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and has supreme authority in the global fantasy world.

Chu He's previous Global Chinese Science Fiction Literature Nebula Award was actually established based on this award, but I didn't expect Director Liu to know about the Nebula Award and be a cultural person.

"Yes, yes, yes, Nebula Award, you won the Chinese Nebula Award, you haven't opened the door internationally, you can't do it, little brother, you look at you, you don't have money, you don't have honor, how can I marry my daughter to you?" Director Liu shook his head and patted Chu He's shoulder with a spitting of wine.

Chu He's heart moved, Director Liu hinted at this naked.

In fact, Director Liu has long understood Chu He, Chu He's biggest hole card is books, and the anime, web series, and movies he is making money now are all based on his books.

Therefore, Director Liu has specialized in science fiction literature, and naturally knows about the Nebula Award. The Nebula Award has a lot of face, more than a billion face.

Just imagine, my son-in-law is an internationally renowned writer, although he is a little poor, but he will not lose the price when he says it.

This is a matter of face, and people like Director Liu have good face.

"Hiccup!" Director Liu hiccuped, so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes: "I won't tell you, I want the Yankee trophy, you bring it to me, and my face will shine when I say it in the future." ”

After he finished speaking, his head tilted, and he fell asleep on the recliner.

Chu He smiled, this Director Liu was definitely a member of the underworld when he was young, right? I can't wait to reach into the crotch of Yankee's pants and grab someone's trophy.

Chu He himself also thought about it, can "Poetry and the Sea" win the Science Fiction Fantasy Nebula Award?

At the beginning, Liu Qiang said that he would help "Poetry and the Sea" open up overseas markets, but I don't know what is happening now.

Chu He didn't think much about it for the time being, pulled the quilt for Director Liu, and walked downstairs with light steps.

Downstairs, Liu Zhiqing's mother and daughter are holding hands and chatting, looking very harmonious, and there is no previous estrangement for a long time.

"Chu He, you come down, come and sit, and sleep at home tonight." Aunt Xiao wants to keep people, Chu He naturally will not refuse, Liu Zhiqing rarely takes the initiative to go home, and she has to stay for one night.

The three chatted together, and Aunt Xiao also mentioned "Poetry and the Sea".

"Lao Liu has been secretly reading your book recently, saying that he wants to see if you have real materials. Don't look at him with a hard mouth, but his heart is soft, he is also born with mud legs, not so arrogant, but whoever has advantages, he will appreciate it. "Aunt Xiao knows her husband very well.

Chu He nodded: "I was quite surprised that Director Liu actually asked me to win the international award, saying that it was a long face." ”

"Yes, yes, he didn't pass the college entrance examination that year, and he has been obsessed with it all his life, and he likes literati very much, and he likes you for this." Aunt Xiao praised that Chu He's ability to write books is a major highlight.

Chu He was humble for a moment and took this matter to heart.

That night, he stayed at Liu's house and was arranged to sleep alone in a luxurious bedroom. Liu Zhiqing wants to sleep with Aunt Xiao, and she can't do anything tonight.

Chu He didn't intend to be bad, he called the editor Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang was overjoyed, and the whole person was happy: "Mr. Chu, is this sun coming out of the west?" ”

He and Chu He are old friends, and he is also casual when he teases.

Chu He smiled: "Liu Qiang, I think you are very energetic, and you are very affectionate with the president?" When to have children? ”

"Don't say it, that tigress beats me every day......" Liu Qiang was full of happiness, "Mr. Chu, you get down to business first." ”

Chu He didn't joke anymore, and asked about the overseas expansion of "Poetry and the Sea", which has been going on for a few months.

"Mr. Chu, you are competitive, and you want to win the international award. Two months ago, we had already negotiated with Street Lamp magazine to translate "Poetry and the Sea I" by their internationally renowned Chinese translator Ma Ruiran, and the English version will be released in the United States at that time, so that we can participate in various science fiction awards in Europe and the United States. Liu Qiang said relatively simply, and Chu He was a little confused.

"Street lights? What exactly does it do? ”

"Street Lamp is the overseas English version of People's Literature, which was founded in the sixties and has a lot of influence abroad. Ma Ruiran is an Australian-Chinese, dedicated to translating excellent domestic works, and he is also the editor-in-chief of "Street Lamp". ”

Liu Qiang explained, and did not forget to praise Chu He: "Originally, Ma Ruiran still had several translation work on hand, but after reading "Poetry and the Sea", he immediately decided to devote himself to the translation of "Poetry and the Sea", and now he has translated three-quarters of it. He said that as long as the essence is translated, "Poetry and the Sea I" can be nominated for the Nebula Award! ”
