Zuo Youyou immediately began to have a headache.

"That stern old man with stubborn prejudices? He is biased against China! It's hard for me to win his support! Why are you with him??? ”

"Or you pay for it yourself."

“…… I think it's better to go over together, and have a care on the way. "Zuo Youyou is poor and short-minded.

Bai Xinshu explained: "Because you went to Shandong this time to use the quota for East Asian economic exchanges, and your tickets and the hotel for Dr. Caleb were purchased by the forum conference team, so your tickets are next to each other, and the hotel is opposite the door, and the rounding is together." ”

"The return trip is also together?"

"Yes, you, Dr. Caleb, Jiang Shiqin, the three of you together."

How can we be together?!

Left and right and dying struggle: "I can't ......"

"It should be to take care of the elderly and give full play to our Chinese spirit of respecting the old and loving the young." Or you pay for it out of pocket. ”

It is impossible to pay for yourself, and spending a penny of your own money for a job is disrespectful to the job.

Zuo Youyou stared at him for a long time and accepted the reality. She sighed dejectedly: "...... All right. ”

Bai Xinshu turned around and smiled satisfied.

Jian Xingzhou's new book launch was a great success. As Lao Ni expected, the book has beautiful pictures and solid content, so the market response is also good, with thousands of sales on the first day, and it has also appeared on Douban's new book list.

When he came to see off Zuo Youyou, Jian Xingzhou's whole person was full of energy. Even the traffic jam failed to ruin his good mood.

"Got it." When the two of them arrived at the airport, Zuo Youyou put his hands in his pockets and was listless, "I know that your books are selling well and doing well." - Please, Jane, Ergou, you're arguing to death! You're chasing me to show off to the airport?! ”

Jian Xingzhou's face suddenly turned red, his eyes dodged, and his tone was stiff: "Don't talk nonsense!" Who's chasing you? Who, who's chasing you! ”

"Phew, didn't you come to the airport just to show off?"

"It's not! Who said I came here to show off?! Jian Xingzhou almost jumped up, "Zuo Youyou, you don't know the hearts of good people!" ”

Zuo Youyou rolled his eyes and hung his head in frustration: "What kind of good person are you pretending, don't you sprinkle salt on my wounds when I am so sad and helpless?" ”

She wanted to "severely condemn" the handsome young scholar on the way back, and not to accompany a murderous old man all the way.

Jian Xingzhou said strangely: "Why don't you go to Qingdao with Dr. Caleb, why are you so depressed?" Or is the boss going on a business trip to Liaoning, and you miss him? ”

This time it was Zuo Youyou's turn to turn red, his eyes were evasive, and his tone was stiff: "What, what do you think about him!" ”

Jian Xingzhou reminded her: "Your diary, the boss hasn't reviewed it yet, you have to think about urging him." ”

…… It turned out that Jian Xingzhou was thinking about this.

I only heard "miss him"?

Zuo Youyou instantly felt social death, and he couldn't wait to leave his planet in an instant.

Jian Xingzhou was still saying: "I obviously care about you, and you don't want to urge him to ...... your own affairs."

fell in Zuo Youyou's ears, and Jian Xingzhou's voice read in her ear: "Think about him, think about him, think about him, think about him......"

At this time, Dr. Caleb finally arrived at the airport.

Compared with Jian Xingzhou's magic voice, Zuo Youyou was not ungrateful when he saw Dr. Caleb, and the tone of greeting the doctor was also sincere.

"Then you can go." Zuo Youyou categorically gave Jian Xingzhou an order to evict customers, "Do you still want to go to the bookstore later?" ”

Jian Xingzhou looked at the time.

"Yes, there is a sale in the afternoon." Jian Xingzhou was full of energy, "Tomorrow I will go to Heilongjiang on a business trip, and I hope that when I come back, the data can go up to a higher level." ”

A wave of envy, jealousy and hatred rose in Zuo Youyou's heart.

She turned to help Dr. Caleb check his boarding pass, and Dr. Caleb thanked and declined her help.

"Ma'am, I can take care of my own business and don't need your help." He said.

Rejected again?

Zuo Youyou lowered his face, turned his head, and grimaced at Jian Xingzhou. Jian Xingzhou walked over and smiled from his satchel-

Pull out two ancient museum books?

Zuo Youyou watched Jian Xingzhou put his book advertisement in the hands of Dr. Caleb, and then left satisfied.

She felt that she was Jian Xingzhou's tool to contact Dr. Caleb.

She looked at Jian Xingzhou's back and whispered: "No wonder you are kind enough to send me, Jian Ergou!" ”

Boarding, without words.

Dr. Caleb seemed to find the atmosphere a little awkward, and took the initiative to find a topic:

"What have you been reading lately?"

Zuo Youyou was terrified, and his stomach twitched when he was hit by the fear of the teacher checking his homework.

She explained in a low voice, and after a few serious exchanges between the two, they fell silent again.

Half an hour later, Dr. Caleb asked, "Is there any new development on Xinlingyi?" ”

The fear of being checked by the teacher strikes again.

Can she say that she didn't find direct evidence from the ledger?

Zuo Youyou snorted: "...... No, no. ”

Dr. Caleb was a little disappointed: "Ah, I would have preferred that you would prove me wrong. ”

Well?

This is inconsistent with his attitude of firmly rejecting himself last time?

Zuo Youyou asked, "Dr. Caleb, can I ask what changed your opinion?" ”

Dr. Caleb's blue eyes looked at her: "Ma'am, my opinion has not changed, but you are prejudiced against me. ”

"I didn't ......"

Zuo Youyou looked at Dr. Caleb's serious blue eyes, and the words that he wanted to deny came to his lips and swallowed back silently.

She said to herself, "Phew." ”

"My position is not about politics, I only look at historical facts." Dr. Caleb said, "Because of curiosity, ma'am. I do my research because I'm so curious. I wish we could approach a story without taking any position, okay? ”

"Okay." Zuo Youyou was insincere.

"So." Dr. Caleb said slowly, "I have some material here about Chinese businessmen in Handong for you to see." If you have any confusion and new discoveries, you can also talk to me. ”

Materials for Chinese businessmen in Handong Dong? Isn't that what you're looking for?

Zuo Youyou looked down and saw that from 1900 to 1920, in the 20-year import and export data ledger of merchants in Hanshan Shandong, a large number of complicated data had been counted clearly one column after another and made into a table.

It turned out to be the result of Dr. Caleb's work, and it was placed in front of Zuo Youyou completely, completely, and without defense.

Zuo Youyou was shocked.

What kind of trust made him share this research with him?

Prejudice?

He accused Dr. Caleb of being prejudiced against the old man, but why wasn't he like that?

Because at the meeting of the Working Group on Lost Antiquities, he already knew that Dr. Caleb was giving evidence for London, so he already had a preconceived sense of anger, and this emotion led to his prejudice against Dr. Caleb.
