Like Bingxin and Lu Bicheng, they have lived overseas for many years, but they often publish their works in China, and Lao She also submits articles from the United Kingdom to "Novel Monthly" every now and then.

Less than a month after the publication of "The Rise of Great Powers" in the United States, Chinese newspapers had already learned about the news and reported it as a big news story.

This kind of thing often happens in the Republic of China, because the Chinese people are extremely inferior, and if they are recognized by foreigners in a certain field, everyone will celebrate happily.

For example, Xu Beihong originally did not have much influence in China. Just because his paintings were exhibited at the French National Art Exhibition, he was praised by Chinese newspapers as the world's top painter, which was infinitely sought after by the Chinese people, and the price of his works increased a hundred times overnight.

Whether it is "Declaration" or "News", they all add fuel and vinegar when reporting the news, and they can't wait to praise Zhou Hexuan to the sky.

The "News" said: "Recently, the book "The Rise of Great Powers" by Chinese scholar Zhou Hexuan was officially published in the United States of America. Mr. Zhou's academic achievements shocked the American academic community, and politicians went crazy about it, even US President Coolidge couldn't let go of it. U.S. presidential candidate Hoover repeatedly mentioned Mr. Zhou and his works in his propaganda speeches, citing Mr. Zhou's views to persuade voters. According to reliable sources, Mr. Hoover admired Mr. Zhou's knowledge and insights, and wanted to appoint Mr. Zhou as a White House foreign affairs adviser after his successful presidential campaign......"

The "Declaration" is even more outrageous: "Since the publication of "The Rise of Great Powers" in the United States, the craze for Americans to read history has become a common practice. Whether it is an elderly person or a school student, everyone is proud to talk about "The Rise of a Great Power". American academics may not know the Chinese president and premier, but they must know Mr. Zhou Hexuan. The influence of "The Rise of Great Powers" in the United States can be seen! ”

Both major national newspapers reported on it, and the others naturally followed.

Nowadays, communication is difficult, and there are no foreign correspondents, so we can only rely on making up nonsense, anyway, just make up some small stories and blow them hard. When readers read it, newspaper sales will naturally increase.

What American court two lawyers defended, each citing the views of "The Rise of Great Powers"; What American guy likes to read "The Rise of a Great Power", met the woman he liked in a bookstore, and the two eventually became partners...... All sorts of messy anecdotes are popping up like crazy.

There are still many people who believe these reports that make people laugh and cry.

Zhou Hexuan's academic prestige in China has risen to a new peak. Universities across the country sent telegrams inviting Zhou Hexuan to give lectures, and the remuneration for a lecture was 300 yuan.

Even with it, the underwear designed by Zhou Hexuan is stained, and it seems that after a woman wears it, the children she gives birth to are more civilized.

……

Editorial Department of Volkswagen.

Liao Yaquan ran over excitedly and said to Zhang Leyi, who was sorting out the reader's letters: "Sister Zhang, there is a young man outside who has come to visit Mr. Zhou. ”

Zhang Leyi didn't raise his head, and replied, "You lead him in." ”

"Okay," Liao Yaquan immediately knocked on the office door with someone and reported, "Mr. Zhou, there is a Mr. Zhang looking for you." ”

"I see." Zhou Hexuan nodded and said.

Liao Yaquan left the office automatically and ran to make tea for the guests.

The man was tall, glasses, middle-styled, about 30 years old, and he introduced himself when he met: "Hello Mr. Zhou, contemptible Zhang Xinhai, vice president of Guanghua University in Shanghai. ”

"It turned out to be Principal Zhang, please take a seat!" Zhou Hexuan got up and greeted, thinking: Lao Tzu knows you, Xu Zhimo's sworn friend and rival.

In Xu Zhimo's diary, there is a sentence "The sea and Mr. compete for flowers".

In just eight words, it is extremely informative.

"Hai" is Zhang Xinhai, "Mr" refers to Hu Shi, and "flower" represents Lu Xiaoman, and the whole sentence is "Zhang Xinhai and Hu Shi pursue Lu Xiaoman at the same time".

Yes, Hu Shi also chased Lu Xiaoman.

At that time, the scandal between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman was spreading, and Hu Shi persuaded Xu Zhimo to go abroad to avoid the limelight, but after Xu Zhimo left, he himself ran to chase after him. And Zhang Xinhai is even taller and more handsome, very pleasing to Lu Xiaoman, and more advantageous than Hu Shi.

However, after Xu Zhimo returned to China, Zhang Xinhai automatically withdrew, and Hu Shi also said that he would not be involved again, and finally Lu Xiaoman divorced and married Xu Zhimo.

In other words, Lu Xiaoman really attracts bees and butterflies, and after marrying Xu Zhimo, he often writes to Hu Shi. Especially later, Xu Zhimo was busy making money and often flew to the north, and Lu Xiaoman hooked up with Hu Shi in various ways when he was lonely.

Hu Shi was more cowardly, and he was friends with Xu Zhimo, so he was so scared that he didn't dare to go to Xu's house for a long time, for fear that Lu Xiaoman would eat him.

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I have heard Xiao Man mention you, and I have admired you for a long time!" ”

Zhang Xinhai's face was a little embarrassed, he obviously didn't want to mention old things, and said: "Mr. Zhou, I came to the north to visit friends this time, and I happened to visit you on the way." ”

"You're welcome, I'm friends with Shima and Xiaoman, and we will often get together when we have time in the future." Zhou Hexuan said.

Liao Yaquan came in with tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please drink tea." ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Xinhai's messy nonsense, what admired Zhou Hexuan's talent, and what "The Rise of a Great Power" opened his eyes. It wasn't until Liao Yaquan left the office that he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the Nanjing government?" ”

Zhou Hexuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I admire their revolutionary ideas. ”

Zhang Xinhai finally made his intentions clear: "I can't hide it, I have already served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing National Government." This time I came to Tianjin to invite Mr. Zhou to work in the south. As long as Mr. Zhou nods, the post of China's deputy envoy to the United States is vacant. ”

Zhang Xinhai's words were actually not finished, he also went to Gu Weijun. As a result, Gu Weijun refused, anyway, he looked down on the southern government.

Zhou Hexuan waved his hand again and again: "Mr. Zhang said that he laughed, how can I be virtuous, and what qualifications can I be qualified to be the deputy envoy to the United States?" ”

"Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be modest," Zhang Xinhai advised, "Your 'The Rise of a Great Power' has caused a sensation in the United States, and the Americans have praised you." In my opinion, it is time to appoint you as minister to the United States, and the post of deputy envoy is a bit condescending. ”

Zhou Hexuan laughed: "Brother, Nanjing, don't really believe the nonsense written in the newspaper, right?" ”

Zhang Xinhai said: "Although the news in the newspaper is somewhat exaggerated, it is basically true. Less than a year after the establishment of the Southern Nationalist Government, various departments were initially established, and there were still vacancies in various official positions, so Mr. Zhou should not miss this great opportunity. ”

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your kindness in Nanjing on my behalf, but I can't help but be sorry." Zhou Hexuan declined.

Zhang Xinhai saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, so he could only regret it: "Mr. Zhou's refusal to take office is our loss." If you change your mind one day, the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be open to you at any time. Leave! ”

"I'll send you." Zhou Hexuan got up and said.

Fame is very important, this "Rise of a Great Power" has become a little famous in the United States, and the southern government will immediately send someone to recruit it.
