LeBlanc glanced at Zhang Zhong, her eyes full of apology. She probably felt that such a thing had made Zhang Zhong laugh.
Zhang Zhong smiled and said he didn't care.
When Jack saw the two of them flirting with each other, he suddenly became angry and his face turned red.
People like him who want to join the upper class are often the ones with the lowest self-esteem and the most fragile and sensitive psychologically. Faced with LeBlanc's favoritism, he soon became jealous of Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong is a writer who has been very active in the literary world for more than a year, but most of his fame is still in the field of popular novels. As for traditional literature, he only recently won the Carrier Pigeon Award, so Jack feels that Zhang Zhong has nothing to do with him.
Not on the same level.
If it was in his early years, Jack would have been prone to swearing with his character. However, through the influence of the upper class over the years, as a person from the upper class, he has also learned to restrain himself.
He suppressed his anger, raised his head again and said with a smile, "Mr. Pz wants to switch from the world of popular literature to the world of traditional literature. Does he want to imitate the Russian writer Fedorovich? He started out by writing popular novels, but
He later turned from darkness to light and entered the traditional literary world, and never wrote those vulgar things again."
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of this Fedorovich."
Tom looked surprised and said, "No way, you haven't even heard of Fedorovich? Then how do you usually write?"
Zhang Zhong frowned. What's the point? Don't you know that this Fedorovich can't write? He really wanted to ask Tom and Jack in front of him... Grams, you don't even know me. Usually,
How did you write?
Seeing Zhang Zhong's "dumb" look in his eyes, Jack felt that he had won the game. He demonstrated his erudition and exposed Zhang Zhong's ignorance.
He decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, "Then do you know Oistrakh?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "I don't know him."
"Ha, you don't even know Oistrakh? He is a representative figure of realism, and you don't even know him!" Tom's expression was very exaggerated.
Zhang Zhong felt that this Jack was really annoying, so he casually said, "Then do you know Ostrovsky?"
Jack was stunned. He searched in his mind and couldn't find the name, but he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he nodded and said, "Of course I know him."
Zhang Zhong said with a half-smile, "Since you know him, you must have read his "How Steel Was Tempered"."
Jack had never heard of this title, but he still nodded and said, "Of course I have read it. It is a very in-depth book, and the author Ostrovsky's expression technique impressed me deeply."
Zhang Zhong's smile became even brighter, "Yes, in that sentence, 'The most precious thing for a person is life. Everyone has only one life. A person's life should be spent like this: when recalling the past, he will not be wasted because of his wasted years.
And regret will not make you feel ashamed because of your inaction... This sentence touched me very much, and I think Mr. Jack should also be very impressed."
"Of course! I still remember this sentence. It is very inspiring. Ostrovsky is a great writer. His works can always mobilize the most sensitive parts of people's hearts. The themes of his works are great.
, the thought is profound, and the struggle for the liberation of mankind - only a great writer can write such a work." After hearing what Zhang Zhong said, Jack clenched his fist and said.
Zhang Zhong watched Jack's performance and found it quite interesting.
Ostrovsky didn't exist in this world at all. He only said it to tease Jack. He didn't expect this guy to be so into it.
Tom also continued, "Yes, we can always see such inspiring sentences in Ostrovsky's works. I think this is related to his experience. His life was magnificent."
"Oh, really? Why do I remember that he lived a very stable life." Zhang Zhong said "surprised".
Tom immediately said, "Smoothness is just an appearance. What is magnificent is his extraordinary heart. It can be said that he can think of liberating all mankind in a prosperous age. It can be said to be very commendable."
"That's not right. Although he lived a stable life, the era he lived in was very turbulent. Except for his family, he was surrounded by civilians who were so poor that they were about to starve to death." Zhang Zhong said again.
"That's why I say his quality is commendable. In troubled times, everyone is thinking about protecting themselves, but he is dedicated to others."
LeBlanc listened to their conversation and became more and more confused.
First of all, she had definitely never heard of Ostrovsky, and looking at pz, she always felt that he was playing tricks on these two people.
But the problem is that what pz said is too true. It is impossible for him to make up names, works, and sentences in the works casually. That would be too scary.
The most precious thing for a person is life... When hearing these words, a young girl from LeBlanc was filled with enthusiasm, and she even had the urge to join the revolutionary cause.
After listening to Tom and Jack's bragging about Ostrovsky, Zhang Zhong gave a thumbs up, "You two are indeed knowledgeable and have profound knowledge. It seems that I really need to study more. I'm here today."
England just feels its own shallowness."
Jack actually kindly comforted Zhang Zhong, "Mr. PZ, don't be discouraged. You are still young. In a few years, if you read more books, you may catch up with us."
Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded, picked up the water glass and stood up, "Sorry, I'll excuse you now."
After saying that, he left.
Jack turned to look at LeBlanc and said with a smile, "Miss LeBlanc, today..."
"Jack, Tom, I just saw President William over there, and he asked me where you were. Maybe he has something to tell you," LeBlanc said.
Jack's eyebrows lit up, "Really? President William is looking for us?"
"It seems so. I didn't hear clearly when we met just now."
"Okay, Tom, let's go find President William. We can't keep him waiting too long."
…
After seeing the two annoying spirits leaving, LeBlanc looked around, found Zhang Zhong's position, and walked over with the wine glass in hand.
"pz."
Seeing LeBlanc again, Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Why, Miss LeBlanc's two knights didn't follow up again?"
LeBlanc said embarrassedly, "I'm making you laugh, but actually I'm not familiar with them."
"It's okay. I think these two are quite interesting. If they don't write, they can become actors in the future."
LeBlanc blinked, "You mean, what you just said was just to trick them?"
"It's not like playing tricks on them, it's just a little joke."
"Is that Ostrovsky a fake?"
"At least I have never heard of a writer named Ostrovsky in this world."
