Chapter 1039 Is this the manuscript for the next issue?
Zhang Zhong didn't care about Enzo's obstruction. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't hear what you said clearly."
With that said, Zhang Zhong took the lead and walked out of the lounge and into the office area outside.
Zhang Zhong and the others, who were originally resting in the lounge, walked out of the lounge with a group of people cheering, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
All the staff in the office area looked over.
Riyadh was also in the office lobby, discussing a manuscript with an editor.
Seeing Zhang Zhong and the others coming out, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked towards Zhang Zhong and the others.
"Mr. PZ, why did you come out?" Riyadh said.
Zhang Zhong couldn't understand what Riyadh said, but he could guess what he said by looking at his expression.
"It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business, we can just look around by ourselves." Zhang Zhong said.
Riyadh also couldn't understand Zhang Zhong's words, so he waved to Enzo, who understood Chinese.
Enzo quickly ran to Liad's side.
"What's going on with them? Didn't they ask you to look at them?" Liad said in an unpleasant tone.
"I don't know. PZ suddenly stood up and said that he wanted to take them around our newspaper office. He also said that the editor-in-chief, since you are busy, I won't bother you. They can just go around by themselves." Enzo said in a low voice.
Liad frowned and said, "Come with me."
Pulling Enzo to catch up with Zhang Zhong, Liad said, "Mr. PZ, look at how busy our newspaper office is right now, why don't you wait a little longer?"
After he finished speaking, he asked Enzo to quickly translate his words to Zhang Chong.
Before Zhang Zhong could finish the translation, he said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business, we don't mind."
But we mind...
But Liad couldn't forcefully stop Zhang Zhong, so he could only sigh and follow Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong walked for a while, turned around and saw Liad who had been following him, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Mr. Liard, aren't you very busy? You can go and do your work and don't worry about us. We can just stroll around casually. You know that."
, our Chinese literary exchange group also came with a mission this time, we have to walk around the newspaper office, otherwise we won’t know what to say when we meet officials from your Ministry of Culture later."
When Liad heard that Zhang Zhong had moved their Ministry of Culture officials out again, he could only say, "It doesn't matter. My work here is almost done. You are more important. Let me show you around."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "That'll be hard work."
"Actually, there is nothing to visit in our newspaper office. As you can see, our newspaper office is not large and the infrastructure is not good. Apart from the large number of people, there are no highlights. And precisely because of the large number of people, the office area is very fast.
We can’t squeeze in any more,” Leyard said.
"Mr. Liard's words are wrong. The core of a newspaper is not the big house and beautiful facilities. The key lies in the people. The fact that the French literary newspaper has always been loved by readers must be inseparable from these excellent staff.
Of course, Mr. Leyard also contributed a lot. In fact, I also have a newspaper in my name, so in addition to carrying out literary exchanges between the two countries this time, I also want to learn more from your company so that Zero Zero One Newspaper can have
Some progress." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
"Mr. PZ, you are joking. There is no need to learn from us about the sales volume of Zero Zero One Newspaper." Speaking of Zero One Newspaper, Leyard's tone was a little weird.
Zhang Zhong also heard a hint of sourness in Liad's tone.
Liard is indeed a little bit bitter, because the sales volume of Zero Zero One newspaper around the world will definitely crush their French literary newspaper.
In terms of pure sales volume, French literary newspapers should only have a fraction of the number of 001 newspapers.
Of course, no matter how good the sales of Zero Zero One are, Liard still feels that they are not as good as their French literary newspaper.
It's just vulgar reading that caters to the public...
However, the publication that he disliked had ridiculously high sales. Leyard was disdainful and a little jealous at the same time, resulting in a complicated and tangled psychology.
Zhang Chong said with a smile: "The core of editing the newspaper, where is your editorial department, let's go visit and learn."
Liard pointed helplessly to the front, "The editorial department is right in front, but they are quite busy now because the next issue has to be decided."
"Let's go take a look first."
When Zhang Zhong walked to the editorial area, the people in the editorial department wanted to look up at him, but because Liad was right next to him, they lowered their heads and did not look over. They only glanced at him occasionally and betrayed them.
"Is this a manuscript for the next issue?" Zhang Zhong walked behind a staff member, looked at his computer screen, and said with a smile.
The translator accompanying the group immediately came to translate Zhang Zhong’s words to the staff.
The staff member replied, "Yes, this is the manuscript that will be used in the next issue."
"Can I take a look?" Zhang Zhong asked.
The staff member looked at Riad.
Zhang Zhong also turned to look at Liad and said with a smile, "Why, are there some confidential documents in the newspaper office?"
Leyard smiled and said, "No, no, it doesn't matter if you just watch."
Zhang Dian nodded, "Thank you."
He said he was reading it, but actually he was asking the translator to read it to him.
Not only read it to him, but also to other people in the group.
This article is not an original article by the newspaper, but a specially invited article. The author is a native French writer. The content of the article is to explore the relationship between French writers and the Nobel Prize for Literature.
There is nothing new in it. The whole article is about the achievements of French writers in the Nobel Prize for Literature.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this manuscript itself, because France is indeed the country that has won the most Nobel Prizes for Literature in the world. As of 2023, a total of seventeen French writers have won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
This means that almost every seven years a French writer wins the Nobel Prize for Literature.
This thing is indeed worth bragging about.
But for such a manuscript to appear in a newspaper like Le Literaire Française, it is really out of class.
As the leading newspaper in the French literary world, French Literary Journal should not publish such common sense articles because it is really unnecessary.
The audience that French literary newspapers face is not primary school students. Most of the people who buy French literary newspapers and read them are people who have a certain understanding of literature.
For these people, spending money to buy a newspaper that spends a certain space on how many Nobel Prize winners in literature are in France is really unpleasant.
Zhang Zhong did not comment on this matter, but walked behind another staff member and asked, "Is this also a manuscript that will be published in the next issue?"
Liard looked at the manuscript and wanted to say no, but the translator accompanying the group had already spoken first, "Yes, Captain Zhang, look at the date marked here, it is the time of the next issue."
