When Zhang Zhong returned to the hotel, Chen Qing was not sleeping and was still working on the computer in the living room.
"Even if you don't sleep, you shouldn't work. It would be too hurtful." Zhang Zhong said.
Chen Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, I just haven't slept for a few more hours. I even tried not sleeping for several days during school exams before."
"You were young after all at that time."
"You are still young now." Chen Qing said, patting her chest.
Chen Qing is a bit older than Zhang Zhong. When it comes to body, Zhang Zhong is definitely younger, but he has already started the health maintenance mode. As for Chen Qing, this guy is a bit of a workaholic. Apart from work, he seems to have nothing of his own.
Life.
As a boss, of course I like such employees, but as a friend, Zhang Zhong still feels that this way of working is not good.
Zhang Zhong was a little thirsty and wanted to find a kettle to boil some water, but he searched inside and outside the house and couldn't find the kettle.
In fact, this is normal. Even the star-rated hotels here rarely have kettles. Mainly because he was afraid that someone would get burned, Zhang Zhong could only call room service and ask them to bring a kettle.
After the kettle was delivered, Zhang Zhong boiled some water, made himself a cup of tea, and poured Chen Qing a cup of boiled water, "Drink some water before working."
"Thank you, boss." Chen Qing stopped what he was doing, "Actually, it's not that important. I saw that you just posted an update about your new book, so I asked Manager Li to pay attention and cooperate with the publicity."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, and I think Li Zhuo should know how to do it without you having to tell him."
"I still believe in Manager Li's ability, but being far away makes me feel uneasy. How was your outing, boss?"
"Just walking around, nothing special."
Chen Qing also took a sip of hot water and relaxed on the sofa. The reason why he didn't catch up on sleep just now was because he wanted to reverse the jet lag in one breath. On the other hand, he was worried about what might happen to Zhang Zhong when he was outside alone.
Well, now that Zhang Zhong is back, he is relieved.
"The award results will come out tomorrow night, boss, are you worried?"
"There is nothing to worry about. It has been a foregone conclusion for a long time. The Nebula Award is not something I can control. Since I can't control it, there is no need to worry too much. Do you usually pay attention to TV programs here in the United States?"
Chen Qing was a little surprised and said, "Boss, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing, just asking casually."
"Oh, I'm usually quite busy. Not to mention the TV programs here in the United States, I rarely watch those programs in our own country. The only TV program I watch recently is "Opening the Book", and it's also because of Qin Zhao."
Chen Qing said.
Zhang nodded. He felt that his question was a bit silly. How could Chen Qing, a workaholic like him, bother to watch TV shows?
What he actually wanted to ask was if he knew about the program "To Make You Fun", which he even advertised on purpose, but he didn't know if it had any effect.
The two sat in the living room for a while, and it was getting late, so they set off together towards the hotel they had made an appointment with Affleck.
Affleck has already arrived, and everyone has met before, so they are more familiar with him this time.
Although the two parties have cooperation, this meeting was completely private and did not discuss work matters.
"I know that in ancient China, generals would have a farewell meal before going on an expedition. Tomorrow, pz, you are going to attend the award ceremony. Today's dinner is also a farewell meal for you." Affleck raised the question.
He smiled while sipping his wine glass.
Zhang Zhong also raised his wine glass, "Thank you. In fact, eating is the most important thing in China. No matter what you do, it can be connected with eating. For example, you just said that when soldiers go to war, they must bid farewell before going out and welcome the wind after their triumph."
"Haha, then I will treat you to a meal after you get the prize and give you a chance to catch the wind."
"I don't mean to ask you to treat me to a meal. If there is a chance, I will introduce our Chinese food culture to you in China, and I will ensure that your trip is worthwhile."
"If we have the chance, we will definitely go to China for filming. I have always heard that China's food culture is extensive and profound, but the Chinese restaurants in our country are not very authentic. When the time comes, I will definitely experience it.
"
Chen Qing laughed at the side and said, "You have to walk a few more places. There are so many kinds of food in China, and most of us in China have only eaten a small part of it."
"Then I'm sure..." Affleck was talking when the cell phone in his pocket rang. He said a little embarrassedly, "I'm very sorry. There may be some important news. It's my private phone number."
Zhang Zhong shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter, you can do it yourself."
Affleck took out his phone and looked at it. It should be a message. After reading the message, he raised his eyebrows and said to Zhang Zhong with a smile, "Did you come here to cooperate with the local TV station?"
"No." Zhang Zhong said a little strangely.
"No?" Affleck was a little surprised, "My assistant told me that you were on a show called "Fun You", which is not a famous show. Maybe my assistant is also a little strange, so
You just told me."
Hearing that it was "To Make You Fun", Zhang Zhong understood and said with a smile, "I didn't cooperate with this show, it's just a coincidence..."
Then Zhang Zhong told the two of them roughly what happened today when he went out and met the "Tease You" column team.
Chen Qing said suddenly, "Oh, no wonder boss, you asked me before if I paid attention to TV programs in the United States. It turned out to be because of this."
Affleck said, "It seems they also recognized you, otherwise the show that was filmed today would not have been on TV so quickly, and even my assistant knew about it. They are so lucky, they were able to do it on the road
Picked you up."
"So it's a coincidence."
…
The "Fun You" column team quickly broadcast today's edited program, and added a particularly eye-catching title: The Nebula Awards ceremony is about to be held, and the popular candidate for the award, pz, has gone to the United States...
[Is this pz? Does he actually look like this? I have read several of his books, and this is the first time I know he looks like this.]
【Is this a show? How could we meet him by chance?】
[It must be an act. Do you still take the things on TV seriously? 】
[I don’t think it’s acting, otherwise it would be impossible to find such a small show.]
[Yes, do you think other than the possibility of chance encounter, why can they invite Zhang Zhong to this crappy show? 】
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is pz’s first variety show, he has never appeared on a TV show in China.]
