Metamorphosis - Fame (4)

During this time, the old pig was busy, firstly, because he had to cooperate with Rulai to make money, and secondly, he had to be interviewed by the media. In order to create so-called "explosive news", the current media does not hesitate to take words out of context and distort the truth of the facts at the risk of ruining their reputations. For example, if a male celebrity mentions the name of a female celebrity when he speaks, then there is a possibility that there will be a scandal between them. So, in order to prevent those despicable guys from succeeding, I had to set up the answers to the relevant questions in advance, and this is a more nerve-wracking thing, especially for my old pig.

Although the old pig is slowly subsiding now, Sister Qing and the hotel staff are still as busy as before, because the hotel's business is still very prosperous. However, Sister Qing said that what is different from before is that the guests who come now seem more rational, not as fanatical and crazy as the previous guests. The hotel is still open in three shifts around the clock, and everyone is still busy. Sister Qing said that the current situation is very good, if it continues like this for a long time, it is estimated that it will not take a year for the cost of the hotel to be recovered.

Not only our hotel has benefited, but even the shops and businesses in Gao Laozhuang have also benefited, and even the shoe repair shop that was about to close before has also re-emerged, and the business is said to be relatively prosperous, and I also asked for help. My old pig's trip to the alien planet is really timely, because it is just in time for Gao Laozhuang to be developed, and those shops that no one cared about before have also become sought-after goods, and it seems that Gao Laozhuang's economic take-off is just around the corner.

That day, Sister Qing looked very flustered when she came back, saying that there was a strange guest in the hotel today. I ask what is the strange method? Is it that you refuse to give money after eating? Or do you hold a table for a long time? Sister Qing said no, people are polite. I'm very strange, since people seem polite, then how do you say that people are strange?

It turns out that this is the way it happened.

It was almost noon, a very well-dressed man came to the hotel, and he said that he was going to hold a banquet in our hotel, and he wanted to take down the first and second floors of the hotel. Sister Qing thought that he had covered the first and second floors, and there must have been a lot of people who came to the banquet, and it seemed that the people who had met must have met some more sophisticated people, so I was worried that it would not be good. The man said it didn't matter, as long as he could stir-fry, there was no need to make so many tricks. Just as Sister Qing was about to negotiate the price with the man, Anan called Sister Qing aside and whispered to her that just yesterday this man also chartered all the guest rooms on the fourth floor, and now he has chartered the first and second floors, there must be a reason for this. So later, when he opened his mouth to negotiate the price, Sister Qing asked him straight to the point who he was inviting to the banquet, and why did he even have to book all the guest rooms? The man didn't explain why, he just said that Sister Qing just had to do business and collect money, and as for who it was, he would naturally know when the time came. Now that everyone has said so, Sister Qing is no longer easy to get to the bottom of it. After they had negotiated all the details, signed the relevant treaties, and were left to negotiate the arrangement of the dishes, the guest revealed his purpose: he wanted me to meet his youngest son alone in the hotel, and said that he had spent a lot of thought on this, and had to come up with this method as a last resort; He also said that he hoped we could promise him and let my old pig meet his son.

It was already obvious that the reason why this man had to pay a lot of money to buy all the hotels was to be able to get the attention of my old pig and meet his son; His good intentions can be seen. I said this is still not easy to solve? Shall we meet him then? Although Sister Qing said this, but if someone pretended to be a reporter who came to ask for news and designed such a bureau, wouldn't we be fooled? I asked my sister how she was deceived? Sister Qing said that if someone is a reporter dressed up as a reporter and comes with a child to ask about aliens, and if you go back and hand it over to the newspaper to make a big fuss, you will not violate the law, according to the contract you signed with Rulai in advance. I was right to think about it, but then I thought that since they had spent so much effort to visit, they had to meet them. So later, I said to Sister Qing, don't worry, tomorrow I will go to the hotel to see the situation in person, and then I will believe in my old pig's eyesight, whether the reporter can recognize it at a glance.

The next day, I asked Sister Qing to go to the hotel before, and the old pig will go later.

I went to the hotel at about ten o'clock, and I saw a man in a suit with a seven or eight-year-old boy sitting on the table by the window from a distance. Before I could walk into the door, I heard a boy's voice coming, "Dad, Dad, Zhu Bajie is here." As soon as I entered the door, the man I had seen before greeted him with a child, and said again and again that he was sorry, he was really forced by this little guy to come up with this more third-rate method. I told him don't be embarrassed, you paid anyway.

After sitting down, the man complained to me like a woman. This man's son has been a Journey to the West fan since he was a child, and he especially likes Zhu Bajie in it, and he has watched all the CDs of Journey to the West; Later, he became obsessed with Ultraman and said that he would be a hero like Ultraman in the future. A few days ago, he watched a report on TV that Zhu Bajie went to a foreign planet and had contact with aliens, so he had to come to see Zhu Bajie in person. The man was forced to be unable to do it, thinking that my old pig is now a celebrity, and it is not so easy to see, but then he found out that I opened a hotel here and decided to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be successful. I said that you have money, where do those who don't have money dare to do this. The man smiled and said that there was some money, all of which had been saved over the years, and it was all small money. I'm pretty modest. I asked the child what he wanted to ask, and he looked embarrassed again, and finally asked after his father's repeated urging: Have you ever fought with Ultraman? Which is more powerful? I almost didn't laugh out loud, and my father spent a lot of money and my son only asked such a question? I told him that aliens would not easily fight with us earthlings, except in case of emergency; Of course, Ultraman is just a fictional character that doesn't actually exist, and the real aliens are much more powerful than we think...... Later, the children were less timid and dared to ask bold questions, and we talked for about two hours, all of which were very funny, such as what aliens eat, what houses they live, what their tanks are shaped, what machine guns look like, and so on.

Before leaving, the child's father said "I'm sorry" several times in a row. I told him that it was okay, parents all over the world are like this, which is worth understanding. I also encouraged the little boy to study hard and become an earthling who specializes in dealing with aliens in the future. The little boy nodded vigorously, looking confident and at the same time convinced.

This is just one of the more extreme examples, and there have been no less than ten cases of trying to see my old pig so far. And, for some time afterward, there were still people coming to visit.

Before, I was going to stop for a while and wait for the rumors to subside before showing up, but now it seems that it is unlikely, because I really can't stand it. Everyone knows that although my old pig likes to sleep, but at the same time he also likes to wander around and take a look, which is not enough to stop for ten days I can't stand it. In this way, it provides an opportunity for some people to come to our house to inquire about the news, watch the excitement, and join in the excitement.

On that day, several units sent people to ask me to give a speech or a report to them. I thought that I was not used to appearing in public to avoid foreign appearances, so I refused on the spot. Later, Sister Qing enlightened me and said, you should choose a well-known unit to say a few words, it is a meaning, and our hotel will be a little bit light in the future. I was right, so when the president of the Academy of Cosmological Studies came over and asked me to give a lecture to their students, I nodded and agreed.

This is good, the outside world heard that I was going to give a speech at the Academy of Cosmos, and it immediately exploded, and the major media rushed to report that I was going to give a speech at the Academy of Cosmos as they did before. The units that came to invite me before, but failed to make the trip, were very unconvinced, thinking that I was fooling them, so they issued sharply worded commentary articles in relevant newspapers and magazines, saying how I was. I knew they were angry, and I just wanted to vent it. But then again, it wasn't my original intention to go to the Academy of Cosmos to speak, I didn't have any plans to do it before, it was purely something that happened suddenly and decided suddenly. There are many things that you can't control; At the same time, there are many things that my old pig can't control.

When he heard that Zhu Bajie, who had traveled to an alien planet, was going to give a lecture at the Universe Academy, all the tickets for the Universe Academy's lecture hall were sold out in just a few hours. In the end, due to the situation, the relevant staff of the Academy of Cosmos had to move the lecture hall originally scheduled for the school auditorium to the University Stadium near the college, which can accommodate nearly 40,000 people at the same time.

On the day of the speech, the stadium was packed, and even the middle court was filled with people with their own benches. My speech seat was set up on the rostrum, and there was a large slogan behind it, which read "Marshal Hotel, famous all over the world"; The Marshal Hotel is our hotel, which means that this is a free advertisement for our hotel. This is a godsend, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was Sister Qing's idea to advertise the hotel by the way, he said that the appearance fee given to us by the college was too low, and we couldn't waste such a good opportunity to make money in vain, and we had to publicize the hotel, and then we just needed to sit there and collect money. When I passed this information to the college, they were reluctant at first, saying that how could such a more academic speech bring the most naked business information? Sister Qing's reply to them was: Okay, just do it, don't pull it down, don't leave people here, you have a place to keep people, I don't believe that your Universe Academy has a stadium! I didn't expect Sister Qing to be able to say such a thing so boldly, of course, they didn't expect it either; So in the end, the college agreed. I also don't dare to refuse on the part of the Universe Academy, now everyone already knows that Zhu Bajie will give a speech in the Universe Academy, if he suddenly changes the venue, it is estimated that it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Universe Academy; In addition, making a small advertisement at the venue is a harmless thing at all, and it is simply a flaw. What is certain is that the name of the hotel will become louder and louder, and the business of the hotel will get better and better.

When the college invited me to give a lecture, I felt sad about the topic of the speech, and I didn't know what kind of topic to express. The larger themes have already been used in the book, so you can't repeat those themes, right? In that case, everyone will think that my old pig is Jiang Lang's end. The theme I set in the end is: "Wisdom and the Secret of Life", which sounds more atmospheric, but in fact the content is very simple and easy to understand. The content of my speech is roughly like this: human beings are not the only life forms in the universe, but they want to use their very limited wisdom to conquer the universe, which is obviously impossible. Human life forms belong to the lowest level in the universe, and the degree of intelligence is also the lowest; The level of wisdom is closely related to the form of life, and the two complement each other. The form of life is not measured by "quality", but by "quantity", and the truly advanced life form exists invisibly and can change with the change of the consciousness of the living body; There can be no long-term communication between different levels of wisdom, and the same level of wisdom can be unimpeded...... Although many people seemed to be listening to the book of heaven during the whole speech, and their faces were at a loss, it could be seen that they were all thinking about what I said. I admit that the content of the speech will not have a substantial impact on their lives, but I feel that at least in terms of concept, it reminds people that there are more advanced life forms than our intelligence, and there is more than one, and it exists on our earth.

As the saying goes, "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", "trees are big and windy", although after becoming famous, good things are one after another, but bad things are also one after another, not long after I came back from giving a speech at the Academy of Cosmos, a big incident happened in our house, and almost broke into trouble.

On that day, several foreigners, accompanied by several Chinese, came to our house, saying that they wanted to consult about spacecraft. Although it was agreed that I could not casually reveal things about aliens and alien planets to other subjects, it was before the book was published, in order to make the book sell more popularly. Now that the book is out, and the first* has passed, the agreement is outdated, and I can now freely reveal some information about aliens and alien planets to people who think it is worth communicating.

These people were sent by the United Nations, saying that they wanted to ask some information about the fact that we earthlings used to send flying machines to outer space. Because in previous interviews and diaries, I once mentioned that in space, I once heard the Mutani No. 2 say that they only knew that there was such a planet as the Earth after receiving a spacecraft sent into space by the earthlings, and at the same time, they also got the information about the Earth from the discs carried on the aircraft, so later, when there was a war between the Mogu people and the Witts, the Mogu No. 1 people came to the earth with people and centaurs to find special elements. It's a fact, and it's been made public, and I have to admit it. The flying machine was said to have been sent by their former work colleague, but they have not received a reply, but now I heard that Zhu Bajie knew the whereabouts of those flying machines, so he rushed to ask for an understanding. I said that the people of Mugu have received the aircraft and have read the information on the disc, but they are not in the same intelligent class as us, and they can't communicate at will, so they didn't reply to us earthlings.

Of course, when I talked about aliens in the original interview, I also revealed that the place where I first saw aliens was under our field. Unexpectedly, this laid the groundwork for the subsequent events.

It turns out that these guys' inquiries are fake and their inquiries are true, and they just want to find the base of the Mugu people on our earth.

What a bunch of delusional guys!

What a bunch of guys who don't know the height of the sky!

What a bunch of guys who are shorter than a mouse's knowledge!

So, when they asked to go to the place where I first met the people of Mutani, I refused. Those people say, we can give you a lot of money! I didn't expect these people to be so unreasonable, it is said that they are all intellectuals, and they don't even have this little awareness, it seems that the second person of Mugu said that the wisdom of our earthlings is low, and it is indeed like that, and it is very low-level.

When those people saw that I refused, they went to find Sister Qing, Master, Brother Monkey, and Senior Brother Sha again, probably because they wanted them to blow the wind in their ears next to me and reveal the news to them. Master and Brother Sha won't care about this; Sister Qing has seen the No. 2 Mugu people with her own eyes, knows their level of intelligence, and knows that we earthlings are not their opponents, so they will not encourage me to tell the truth; Brother Monkey is not easy to say, everything is very insignificant to let him go, as if it doesn't matter, I am worried that he will not be able to withstand the temptation of those people, and come to be a lobbyist.

Of course, I'm not worried that Brother Monkey can persuade me, but I'm worried that Brother Monkey will come to persuade me, but I don't agree, it will affect the relationship between us.

Sure enough, what I was worried about happened, and Brother Monkey really came as their lobbyist.

I told him straight to the point, Brother Monkey, don't be stubborn, the old pig will not tell them the truth, our wisdom is simply impossible to talk to those aliens, and they will not succeed.

Brother Monkey said, nerd, since aliens are not so easy to find, then why don't you tell them? You might as well start by telling them three chapters of the law, saying that you can't guarantee that the aliens are still down there; Then negotiate with them on the terms and ask for the information fee and the loss of the field, so that it will kill two birds with one stone: it will not only send them away, but also make a profit. I thought about it for a while, and yes, I took this opportunity to play a good trick on them, and then make a little money to buy wine.

So later, I told them the approximate location of the base of the Mugu people. Just like Brother Monkey's idea, I signed a contract with them, saying that it has nothing to do with me whether there is a result or not, after all, they are also living beings and know how to transfer; The other is to compensate for the loss of my fields. They all agreed to these conditions, and they were very happy.

As you can imagine, they didn't find any aliens, even if there were any clues. Where did they think that the wisdom of others has reached the realm of distinguishing between things and me, and even if they find it, can they still sit there dryly and wait for you to catch it? Therefore, the wisdom of human beings is quite low-level, and they are very self-conscious, always thinking that they are omnipotent, and always thinking that they are the boss in the universe. The old pig despises this kind of person, and he doesn't know how to look around.
