Chapter 43: Thoughts

"Jonas, try this watch."

Although they were only separated for two days, Zhou Nan could also feel that Audrey was more attached to him. Xiao Biesheng's newlywed sentence is still very reasonable.

Zhou Nan took the watch and kissed Audrey, and she immediately smiled and helped Zhou Nan put on the watch. "I chose this Swatch watch with Stephanie for a long time at noon today, do you like it?"

"Of course, this watch is like it was designed for me." Zhou Nan raised his wrist and asked Entlebuch: "Mr. Entlebuhe, what do you say?" ”

"It's just amazing." The old man didn't mind making the little girl happy and joining in the fun.

Audrey was a little embarrassed to get up, embarrassed to wrap around Zhou Nan again. "You talk, I'll make you coffee."

"No coffee, bring me a glass of cider......" The old man did not regard himself as an outsider at all, turned his head and asked, "What about you?" ”

Storko and Etinny also laughed and said, "Then come to the Apple Bar." Audrey then found another large glass and went to pour them wine.

Although Swatch watches are not well-known in China, they are among the best-selling watches in Europe. Later generations of watchmaking groups united, and Breguet, Blancpain, GlashΓΌtte, Omega, Longines, Rado and Tissot all became Swatch brands.

However, the price of the series that Audrey bought is not expensive, only about 100 Swiss francs, which is almost equivalent to two weeks' salary of the average person.

How does Zhou Nan know? Because Audrey only earned a total of one hundred and sixteen, and also bought gifts for Kelly, Glewin, and Stephanie, the price of this watch will definitely not be higher than one hundred and sixteen.

However, the price is secondary, and the key is that this is Audrey's heart. So Zhou Nan decided that he would wear this watch in the future.

Seeing Zhou Nanzizi looking at his watch, Stolko and the others laughed and laughed a few words, and then turned the topic to the main topic.

"Jonas, tomorrow morning to Zurich, to be interviewed by the Daily Herald in the morning, they have already sent the main content of the interview. In the afternoon, when you go to the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Zurich Institute of Technology, you will need to design your own speech and try to match the school spirit of the Polytechnic. In the evening, you will have dinner with Zurich MP Herzog, who has a number of newspapers and magazines to his name, which will be of great use to you. ”

Zhou Nan nodded, and said with a headache: "Is the schedule too tight, I need a certain amount of time to prepare for the speech alone." The day after tomorrow I will go to the University of Basel, and then there is the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne, the University of Geneva. God, I'm going to go crazy. ”

He laughs and says, "Think about the sales of your book and you'll be balanced." What's more, when your theory is accepted by the majority of the population, your book will later become a textbook. At that time, every year of printing royalties would bring you a large amount of money. ”

"I know...... The point is that if the schedule is too tight, I may not be able to maintain the quality of my presentation. Every time I give a speech, it will be published in the newspapers, and I can't repeat what I used to do, it's too strong, you know? ”

Stolko said solemnly: "I know, so we are here to help you." The main reason is that the time of this week is relatively tight, and our itinerary will be looser in the future. ”

"Stolko, you're really capable, but you're boring......"

Etinny and Entlerbuch couldn't help laughing, and when they saw Audrey coming in with wine, they hurriedly greeted them, too lazy to listen to Zhou Nan's complaints.

Audrey used a large glass to divide the wine into four glasses and brought a glass to Zhou Nan. Then he ran to the kitchen to help Kelly, but was kicked out by Kelly after a while.

After dinner, Zhou Nan didn't have time to rest, and a few people just walked to the lake in the twilight for a while, and then returned to the room, preparing for tomorrow's content for reporters and students.

It's easy to deal with reporters, because most of the problems are known problems, and Zhou Nan just needs to think about what kind of way to tell reporters and tell them how much.

But in the face of those students, as well as those professors, in the academic discussion, Zhou Nan could not be cautious. Any one of these issues may be related to the progress of the promotion of his theories and the recognition of his books.

Academic recognition is never calm, and Zhou Nan's new analysis of history will inevitably impact the authority of historians or sociologists in the past.

Although this kind of war is not a life-and-death war, it is not far behind. Because academic recognition is subverted, it is often related to fame and interests.

Now Zhou Nan is not facing many difficulties, because those people are still studying Zhou Nan's book, as long as they find loopholes or fallacies in the content of the book, they will fight back without hesitation.

Although the Liberal Democratic Party can help him in terms of public opinion, external forces have no effect on academic debates, and can only rely on direct academic collisions.

Social and humanities books, unlike mathematics, have only one answer and truth. Only when the two sides are at a stalemate, there will be a situation where the public says that the public is justified and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and then the external force will have an effect.

Zhou Nan didn't think there were big holes in his book, because these theories had been tested by later generations. However, he can't say that his book is perfect word for word, and it is always inevitable that there are small fallacies in the books written by individuals.

At present, it seems that there has been no public opinion of a counterattack in a week, and the content of the manual can withstand the test.

Of course, just being able to withstand the test is not what Zhou Nan wants. He wants to be recognized by most people, like the "General History of the World", to become a textbook for all countries in the world, at that time, he is the real fame and fortune.

Audrey left a gap in the bedroom door, and from the position of the desk, she could just see Zhou Nan in the living room discussing the contents of a project with a few people in a low voice.

It's really fascinating to see him working hard!

Audrey became a little shy, and after a while, she took out the letter and began to write to her mother.

"My dear mother, the last time I told you that Jonas's book had been published, he has been very busy for a while. But he still cares about me, always paying attention to my studies, my dancing, which keeps me immersed in a happy atmosphere. He is now a big celebrity, and there is always news of him in the newspapers every day, but I don't know if the newspapers in the Netherlands will also publish his news. In Lucerne, many people are proud of him, even our history teacher is an admirer of him, and for this reason he has always taken good care of me in school.

A lot of people like me because of Jonas's relationship, which puts me a little stressed out because I'm afraid I'm not going to be worthy of Jonas. It was Jonas who comforted me and said that he loved me as a person, not who I was. It doesn't matter who I am, as long as we still love each other deeply, nothing else matters. Yes, I love Jonas and I love him as a person, not because he has now become a celebrity. ”

He's busy right now, and I'm busy every day now. Every day I have to go to school, I have to rehearse in the evenings, I have to learn to drive during the day on weekends, and I have to go to shows in the afternoons or evenings. But this kind of busyness is very fulfilling, and I am also looking forward to realizing my personal value in the future, from the love of Jonas in life to his helper at work, his soul mate. ”

Mom, can you tell me how I can go about loving a man better? I can't wait to be Jonas's real wife, but I don't know how to love a man yet. In the world of feelings, I passively bear the love of Jonas, but I don't know how to love him better, Mom, I need your guidance, only to love Jonas more actively, I think this love is perfect. ”

We look forward to hearing back from you as soon as possible, or if you can come to Switzerland before the summer holidays, when we can go back to the Netherlands together. ……”

After writing the letter, Audrey took out an envelope, put it in it, and affixed a postage stamp.

As if she had let go of her worries, she went to the living room to have a goodnight kiss with Zhou Nan, returned to the room, closed the door and went to bed first.

Although she doesn't know how to love a man well, she also knows that when he is working, try not to affect him. Just know he's around and everything is fine.

In Arnhem, Mrs. Hemstra received the letter three days later. After reading the letter for a long time, and looking at the photo of Zhou Nan and Audrey that she had cut out in the newspaper, she decided to go to Switzerland immediately.

Although Ian's wedding is still some time away, the post-war Dutch wedding ceremonies are all about simplicity. The family is almost ready, even if she is not at home, the two sons can cope with it.

Traveling to Switzerland affected her plans, but there was nothing more important to her at this time.

It was no secret to her that Jonas wrote a book, but she didn't expect it to cause such a sensation.

Before it was published, Toynbee's recommendation caused a sensation in European countries, and then a somewhat ridiculous so-called World Economic Forum surprised the world.

It is ridiculous that a symposium organized by a group of literati on an ad hoc basis bears the name of the World Economic Forum, and surprisingly the topics they discuss are currently the focus of European countries, and they have had good results.

The Dutch government also discussed the ideas for solving the economic problems of the Netherlands that were sent to them, and recognized the positive role of their opinions in solving the economic problems of the Netherlands.

Jonas appeared in front of everyone so suddenly, and received a lot of praise. This made her heart full of relief, but there was also a trace of worry.

As a minor nobleman, even if the family is now in decline. She became the last baron, and when her children inherited the title, according to the Dutch system, she could only become a squire.

Although in decline, the habits of the aristocracy are still preserved, and she also has a sensitive political sense. From Jonas's sudden rise, she can already see that he really seems to have made a huge breakthrough in academics.

If this is the case, he is a literary and artistic master, in fact, he has a higher status in the eyes of others than the little nobles.

Even if Jonas is an Oriental.

Because in Europe, people don't mind who they are and are more tolerant of talented people.

If he were a businessman and a politician, he would definitely be discriminated against because of his Chinese descent, but he was a literati, and he would receive more attention and tolerance.

Lady Hemstra was now a little worried, Jonas was too good.
