When Pengpeng came back like this, the whole family was hanging around her. While grandma fed her biscuits, grandpa peeled apples for her.
I originally thought that what Liu Feng said was somewhat reasonable, and that by letting Pengpeng go out for such a trip, she would know the benefits of home.
It's better now, instead of letting this girl realize the importance of Zhang Zhong and them, it makes her realize the importance of herself in this family.
Zhang Zhong sighed as he watched, then silently took out a popsicle from the refrigerator...
After playing with Pengpeng for a while, Zhang Zhong left his parents to play with her while he returned to his study to continue the translation work of "The Wandering Sea Ball".
After dinner, Zhang Zhong continued to work in the study until about eight o'clock.
Pengpeng pushed the door open and came in. She held the gray rabbit and stood at the door and said, "Dad, I'm going to bed. Don't you tell me a story?"
Zhang Zhong looked away from the computer screen and looked at his daughter, feeling a little relieved. It seemed that he was still useful in her daughter's eyes.
He put his work aside and took Pengpeng's hand to her room.
Pengpeng was lying on the bed, looking at Zhang Zhong sideways, "Dad, none of the stories Teacher Qin tells are as interesting as yours."
Seeing how she was seriously complimenting him, Zhang Zhong smiled and touched her hair, "What story would you like to hear tonight, Pengpeng?"
"I like to hear all the stories Dad tells."
Zhang Zhong laughed. This girl went out for a trip. If nothing else, at least her ability to flatter her would be improved.
He thought for a while and said, "Then daddy will tell you a story about the daughter of the sea."
"Uh-huh."
"In the depths of the vast sea, there is a fish kingdom. The king has six beautiful daughters, among whom the youngest daughter is the most beautiful..."
Maybe Pengpeng didn't like "The Daughter of the Sea" very much, or maybe she didn't understand the story at all, so when Zhang Zhong mentioned that the mermaid drank the medicine given by the sea witch, she had already fallen asleep.
However, Zhang Zhong did not stop and continued to tell the story softly until he finished the story.
When he had just finished telling the story and was about to cover Pengpeng with a quilt and leave, Pengpeng suddenly rubbed his nose and said in a daze, "Dad, are you finished telling the story? Dad told it so well."
Zhang Chong couldn't help but stroke the ends of her hair, gently kissed her chubby cheek, then turned off the light in the room and walked out.
The adjustment work of the translation of "The Wandering Sea Ball" was almost completed. Zhang Zhong went back to the study to check it again, and then sent it to Chen Qing's mailbox.
There are two options for where to find the English version of "The Wandering Sea Ball". One is to post it directly on major websites in China. If foreigners want to see it, just ask them to come and watch it directly. It is not particularly troublesome.
Of course, those websites are very willing to make this choice, but it will not do any good for promoting the book abroad. After all, if foreigners go to a Chinese website to read the book, it is estimated that few people will be willing to do so, except for die-hard fans.
As for the second option, it is to send it to foreign literary websites.
After weighing the situation, Zhang Zhong felt that he should either choose the second option or combine the two options. However, it was up to Chen Qing to discuss how to proceed.
There is no precedent for Zhang Zhong's novels to be published online abroad. If "The Wandering Sea Ball" is really published on a foreign literature website, it will be the first time. Of course, this may also be Zhang Zhong's move towards truly publishing it on the entire Internet.
An important step.
Things progressed much smoother and faster than Zhang Zhong imagined.
When Chen Qing received Zhang Zhong's email, he hadn't slept yet, and he didn't bother to sleep anymore, so he started working directly. After all, when night fell in China, it was also the beginning of the day in North America.
The next morning, Chen Qing made a phone call.
Zhang Zhong had just woken up and was very energetic. After receiving the call, he smiled and said, "Chen Qing, you got up very early."
"I haven't slept yet, boss."
"Didn't sleep? Did you stay up late?"
"Well, it's worth staying up all night. We have already negotiated with two literary websites in the United States. Tonight, when they go to work over there, "The Wandering Sea Ball" will be released on their website. Details.
The contract may take some time, but it won't delay anything. Once we get the contract done, you can just sign it."
Zhang Chong laughed, not expecting Chen Qing to deliver such good news so early in the morning.
"Thank you, you should go to bed quickly. From now on, this kind of thing can be left to other people. Since you are the general manager, there is no need to do everything personally. There are definitely more and more things in the company. Even if you have three heads and six arms,
It's impossible to be too busy." Although he was pleased with Chen Qing's work efficiency, Zhang Zhong was not a cruel boss, so he still sympathized with Chen Qing. Moreover, what he said was not just for the occasion. Only by learning to take a rest can he be able to
Really do a good job.
A person's life, whether it is life or work, is a protracted battle, not a tough battle.
"Thank you boss, but things didn't go well and I felt uneasy. Now I'm fine and I can sleep peacefully."
"Okay, stop talking and go to bed."
Coming out of the room, to Zhang Zhong's surprise, Pengpeng was already sitting on the sofa with a small schoolbag on his back.
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Why, did you forget that it's already a holiday? You don't have to go to school today."
Pengpeng said, "I'm going to paint. I made an agreement with Teacher Xu yesterday."
Pengpeng had contact with Pengpeng when he went to the summer camp. Zhang Zhong knew about this, but he didn't know about the appointment to go to class.
"Have you eaten?"
"She has eaten. Please wash her up quickly and send Pengpeng to paint. She hasn't painted for more than ten days. The most fearful thing about learning is to give up halfway." Hu Huifang held a plate of egg cakes.
Coming out of the kitchen, "You can wash the freshly fried pancakes and eat them while they are hot."
Zhang Zhong hummed, went to the bathroom to wash up, then simply ate something and took Pengpeng to Meng Mu's small building.
…
When He Jing went to work in the morning, she was a little surprised to see Xu Yuhan lying on the cashier counter.
Ever since the studio hired several teachers, Xu Yuhan has not been coming here so early in the morning for many days as she did at the beginning.
Hearing someone coming in, Xu Yuhan hurriedly raised her head. When she saw it was Teacher He, her eyes were a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said hello to He Jing.
He Jing noticed Xu Yuhan's expression and wondered, is the boss waiting for someone?
It didn't take long for the answer to be revealed. Zhang Zhong came earlier with Pengpeng. No other students had come yet, and the only teachers who came were Xu Yuhan and He Jing.
Seeing Zhang Zhong and the others, Xu Yuhan's eyes lit up and she ran over from behind the cashier.
When Pengpeng saw Xu Yuhan, she ran over and was hugged by Xu Yuhan.
Zhang Zhong in the back curled his lips when he saw it. This girl was not so happy to see him when she came back yesterday.
