Chapter 321: Laura, who is indifferent to fame and fortune
Lin Xiaoguang never thought that he would become an expectant father so quickly.
He is less than 20 years old this year and is still a college student in future generations. But in fact, having children does not put any pressure on him. The only trouble is that he will have to spend more time on his family in the future.
At the same time, some energy should be transferred from Anyang to the children.
That's roughly it.
For now, he has to spend a lot of time taking care of Anyang so that she can better raise the baby, but in fact, it's not a big problem under normal circumstances.
So An Yang's life of raising a baby and his life of being a father-to-be began.
While taking care of her, he tried to go out as little as possible and spend more time with her. At the same time, he took advantage of his free time to sort out the notes he took on the trip to Zhongnan Mountain. Finally, he completed a paper and started writing prose travel notes.
.
One day on Sunday, he called Laura's residence on Pok Fu Lam Road. Hearing that the professor was at home, he hurried over.
After going there, I found that not only the professor was there, but also the British gentleman Douglas, Anna, and the last one who shouldn't be there, Catherine.
"It seems that I came the latest." He was a little surprised, and then laughed at himself.
"Tell me, did you find anything interesting this time?" Laura sat on the wicker chair and did not ask about the paper. Instead, she talked about other things and seemed very interested.
"There are no fun things, but my girlfriend is pregnant. I don't know if a baby is a fun thing?"
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at him blankly, blinked, and thought about it before they understood what he was talking about.
Laura smiled: "Congratulations, you are going to be a father."
"Thanks!"
Catherine didn't say anything, but Anna smiled and shook her head: "I bet your life after becoming a father will be a mess."
This little girl has disliked him from the very beginning, and she still does so now. She seems to wish him well.
Lin Xiaoguang ignored her.
Laura smiled: "Anna, be tolerant, I bet you will be much more competent as a father than you are as a mother."
Ana immediately rolled her eyes.
After reminiscing, Laura took Catherine's paper and started talking about the business: "I have to say that I underestimated the Zhongnan hermits. They are not self-exiles in the traditional sense, nor are they simply avoiding the dark reality.
They have their own unique pursuits and are pure idealists, just like layman Wu Pu, whose pursuit of philosophy is amazing."
Catherine left him a letter through the layman Wu Pu, which only said that he would look for her at the city government guest house after the incident was over, but did not say anything else.
However, on the way together, the two exchanged views.
When Catherine went into the mountains, she asked the staff of the International Travel Service, which had an English translator, but who knew that she would not use it when she met the layman Wu Pu, who knew English and also understood Russian.
In 1958, it was not easy for someone who knew English and Russian and was still an eighteen-year-old boy.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoguang nodded and handed over his paper: "Principal Wupu has at least a high school degree or above, and is proficient in Chinese, English, and Russian. He has learned a lot, is proficient in Chinese studies, and understands
Western literature, and even deep research into the philosophy of Hegel and Freud.”
Catherine said: "I have a cousin who is a BBC reporter. When I told her about Wu Pu, she was so surprised that she was ready to go to the mainland to interview him immediately."
"She said that such a person is very controversial and it would be best if she could do an exclusive interview. However, it seems that she has not been able to get a visa and is currently thinking of various ways to go there under other names."
Laura's expression remained unchanged as she examined the two papers, then looked at the two of them and said: "I need to think about your paper slowly. After that, I will refine, summarize and process it over a period of time. If possible, finally
I will publish the final manuscript in the journals of various universities in the Old World."
"At that time, I will explain to you how to sign, based on the number of contributions, and strive to achieve a result that everyone agrees with."
Lin Xiaoguang and Catherine looked at each other and could see the meaning in each other's eyes.
The old lady doesn't give in at all when it comes to papers. She is relatively indifferent about money, but she still cannot avoid things that can make her famous. Like many experts and scholars, they don't spend money on money, but on research results.
.
He didn't care much about it. In fact, it wouldn't affect anything if he did.
Westerners like gods, gods, and religious things. If this paper is published in China, the teachers will probably say that he is playing with things and loses his ambition. If he does not study good Western literature, he will study those people in Zhongnan Mountain. Isn’t this just idle work?
This kind of paper cannot be published in China, but they like this kind of thing best in the Old Continent, that is, Europe, and it is the most suitable place to put it.
However, he is a Chinese and does not have a mentor to guide him. It is too difficult to get ahead in academia. As for topics involving Chinese culture, Chinese people have no say. It is better for foreigners to get ahead, so that Westerners can
Easy to accept.
so be it.
He smiled and nodded: "Well, thank you, Professor. I have to take care of my fiancée recently, and I also have to write prose and essays. I have to worry about the thesis. In addition, if you need my help anywhere, please feel free to call me."
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Laura was very pleased and looked at Catherine aside.
He had already given in. What else could Catherine say, so she nodded and said exactly the same thing as him.
Then they said goodbye and left together.
After the two came out, Catherine immediately lowered her face and cursed: "Old witch!"
He didn't even smile, and walked out as if he hadn't heard anything. When he saw Catherine, he became a little angry. He caught up with her and asked, "You actually gave in. You let me down so much."
When he walked to the street outside, no one was paying attention, and he said: "Katherine, do you understand now? Ugliness is not unique to a country or nation, it is common to all human beings. People like Laura who are indifferent to fame and fortune are studying
She gave in in the face of the results. She is an Englishman. Do you still think that some ethnic groups are inherently superior to others?"
Catherine couldn't accept it at all: "Those who lie should go to hell."
Lin Xiaoguang immediately replied: "Then all your government officials, parliamentarians, nobles, and all the upper-class people in the UK should go to hell."
She suddenly became speechless.
After saying that, he hailed a taxi and prepared to leave.
Catherine shouted from behind: "After some time, I may have to visit Master Wu Pu again with my cousin. He is a wise man. Do you want to go then?"
"I don't have time. Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. There is no need to meet. We just have a close friendship."
"What? Divine communication? Soul communication?"
After returning from Pok Fu Lam Road, Lin Xiaoguang went to West Kowloon again and returned to Qinhuai for food and drinks.
It has been more than twenty days, almost a month, that he has not seen this place. Now that Qinhuai's food and drink are about to change drastically, he must make arrangements in advance.
In the office, he looked through the financial reports and sales summary, and then told Jiang Shanshan: "The company's organizational structure has recently undergone a change. It is necessary to register an additional holding company in the Cayman Islands, with this company solely controlling the parent company.
Chinhuai Industrial, and then spin off the business of Qinhuai Food and Beverage."
"This matter is very important. Find a business consulting company to handle it as soon as possible."
