Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Office of the Head of State?
Chen Qing thought of the two emails he received before.
Subconsciously, he felt that this was a serial fraud scheme, but he did not dare to hang up the phone rashly when he was unsure.
Regarding emails, Chen Qing explained to the comrades in the Foreign Affairs Department that it might be because there were too many emails from the company that he had not noticed, so he would check them out. Now that he knows the situation, he would report the matter to Zhang Zhong later.
It will take some time for the specific situation to be responded to.
The other party smiled and said that they were just helping to pass the message. Although the call was from the office of the head of state of the United States, they did not necessarily agree to their request.
However, despite saying this, the comrade from the Foreign Affairs Department still told Chen Qing tactfully that if it was not particularly difficult, it would be best to give the head of state of the United States some face.
Chen Qing had never dealt with this kind of thing before, so he could only nod his head.
After hanging up the phone, he didn't lose his mind. He first checked the landline number that the other party called.
After checking it, Chen Qing was a little confused. It was really the landline number of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After being stunned for a while, he quickly opened his mailbox, flipped through it for a while, and finally found the email that he had not deleted before.
"No, we need to report this to the boss as soon as possible." It's impossible without fighting. Not to mention whether he can make the decision on this kind of thing, he doesn't even know what the other party asked.
Is there a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball"? Is there an English version of "I, Robot"?
Zhang Zhong never told him these two things.
He felt that the second question should be yes. According to the boss's habit, even if the English version is not out now, the English version will be out in a few days.
As for "The Wandering Sea Ball", some people have always speculated that it will have a sequel or be expanded into a full-length novel, but Zhang Zhong didn't say anything, so no one is sure.
When he received a call from Chen Qing, Zhang Zhongzheng was taking Pengpeng to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
"Hello, Chen Qing?"
Zhang Zhong held Pengpeng with one hand so that she could see the terracotta warriors and horses inside the pit.
"Boss, there is something I must report to you."
Chen Qing's voice was a little excited, which surprised Zhang Zhong. He remembered that Chen Qing had never been so excited when the sales of "Dune" came out.
"What's up?"
"The office of the head of state of the United States sent us an email asking you if there is a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball" and if there is an English version of "I, Robot" out. What they mean is, if there is one, can they be given a preview.
"Although Chen Qing was excited, she still spoke in an organized manner and simply explained the matter.
"Oh?" Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Office of the Head of State? Has the identity of the other party been confirmed?"
"OK."
"How are you sure?" Zhang Zhong asked curiously.
"Just now, a leader from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called..."
Chen Qing told everything about the previous Oolong incident and the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Department.
"Boss, this is my fault. I am too empiricist and treat the other party as a liar." After finishing speaking, Chen Qing said apologetically.
Zhang Zhong smiled and comforted him, "It's okay. If it were me, I would probably think the same as you. As for their problems..."
After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhong said, "You replied to them that there is indeed a so-called sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball", but it will take some time. As for the English version of "I, Robot," they should be able to see it soon.
, just like last time, when the English version comes out, you can help me put it on the literary website in North America so that everyone can see it."
"Is it serialized?"
"Well, the serialization speed will not be too slow. Two chapters can be published in a week at the latest."
"Then..." Chen Qing hesitated for a while and said, "Should we directly send the English version to them first?"
He still remembered the words of the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: If possible, it is best to give the head of state of the United States this face.
"Whatever, it won't be much faster anyway. I'm just going to read each chapter. If you want to save their face, just send it to them an hour in advance." Zhang Zhong said casually.
The attitude of the boss is very embarrassing!
"Dad, I want to be taller, can you put me on your neck?"
Peng Peng's voice came from the phone.
Then Zhang Zhong said, "Okay, let's leave it as it is. I'm a little busy now. If I have any questions, I'll talk about it later."
"good……"
Toot toot…
Chen Qing looked at the phone that had been hung up and shook his head with complicated emotions. In the eyes of his boss, the status of the head of state of the United States was not as good as his precious daughter. No, it was not inferior, it was far inferior.
Zhang Zhong put the phone away, then pinched Pengpeng's armpits with both hands, lifted Pengpeng up with force, and let her ride on his neck.
Pengpeng couldn't sit still and quickly grabbed Zhang Zhong's hair with both hands.
Zhang Zhong felt pain for a while, thinking that sooner or later his daughter would make him bald.
In fact, he has already written a few chapters of the English version of "I, Robot", but he has it in his hand and has not distributed it yet. He originally wanted to wait until it was all written before taking it out. Now that this matter has happened, he will
This plan has been advanced.
This can be regarded as making an exception for them, which is very respectable.
But he also found it interesting. He didn't expect Comrade Guan Hai to be so free and have time to read novels. Moreover, he was quite addicted to books and even sent an email to urge for updates.
"Dad, I heard from my classmates that there are real people inside the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Is this true?"
Pengpeng held Zhang Zhong's head and asked.
How to put this misunderstanding?
Not to mention Pengpeng, even many adults have believed this statement, because the terracotta warriors and horses are so magical. Not only are they lifelike in appearance, but each of them looks different. It is hard to imagine how much uncanny workmanship this requires.
, how could such technology exist more than two thousand years ago?
Ordinary clay figures only have a general shape, but the terracotta warriors and horses are meticulous, even the details of the nails are done.
The original terracotta warriors and horses were colored, and there are photos of the newly unearthed terracotta warriors and horses in the hall. The colors are very bright, and they are very real, more like real people.
However, after being unearthed, the paint will curl when exposed to the air for fifteen seconds and peel within a few minutes.
"Now that you have seen the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, do you think they are real people?"
Pengpeng shook his head, "No, I saw many terracotta warriors and horses were broken and they were all empty inside."
"Well, so if someone tells you that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are real people in the future, just say that you have seen them and they are not real people."
"Yeah, I'll tell them when I get back."
Zhang Zhong smiled happily, then looked around to find his parents.
Since they came in, they have been taking pictures everywhere with their cameras, and now they don't know where they went.
When Zhang Zhong saw them, he found that the two of them were following a small tour group to explain.
