Chapter 578: Record Crusher (continue to be happy)
"What is the new book about? I see you are reading it with great interest."
In the evening, Xu Wenxuan and his wife were sitting on the sofa reading, but the difference was that Xu Wenxuan was holding Zhang Zhong's new book "Sophie's World", while Cao Ruixia was holding a pad and reading a journal.
In the past, Cao Ruixia would usually not ask Xu Wenxuan about his reading, but it is different now. The author is going to be her son-in-law, so she should pay more attention to him no matter what.
Xu Wenxuan turned his head and rolled his eyes, "If you want to know, you can see for yourself."
"Then give me the book." Cao Ruixia stretched out her hand.
"The bookstore is not far away and it's not closed now. You can just go and buy a book."
After Xu Wenxuan said this, he turned his eyes back to the book, but did not hear his wife's voice for several seconds. He hurriedly raised his head and saw Cao Ruixia staring at him.
"I'm kidding you, this new book has something to do with me. It's about philosophy. And last time I talked to him about meta-narrative, it also extended to some philosophical issues. This book also touches on a lot. I
I think he might have felt something from last time." Xu Wenxuan said.
Cao Ruixia nodded with satisfaction, "So I say it's not a big deal for you to engage in philosophy. Zhang Zhong, who studied computer science, can also do it well?"
Xu Wenxuan retorted, "What you say makes no sense. I admit that Zhang Zhong's exploration of the history of philosophy in this new book is very professional, but this does not mean that philosophy is not a big deal. Aren't you still a scientist in biological sciences? You
Can you play around?"
"I just don't want to play, otherwise I can still have fun."
"What you said is wrong."
"Why is it wrong?"
"Any truth that cannot be falsified is meaningless."
"Why can't it be falsified?"
"Because I have no way for you to explore philosophy. Since there is no way for you to explore philosophy, there is naturally no way to prove that you cannot master philosophy. Doesn't this mean that it cannot be falsified?"
"Then what if I go explore it?"
"If you come to investigate, then what I just said will be falsified by you. But, are you willing?"
Cao Ruixia rolled her eyes and said she didn't want to answer.
However, Xu Wenxuan became interested and said, "Zhang Zhong's new book has taught me a lesson. I'm wondering if I should use a method that is more acceptable to students when I give lectures in the future."
Cao Ruixia curled her lips and said, "This is not easy. I actually think that the last part of your previous book "Thinking World" was quite good. It can be said to explain the profound things in a simple way and moisturize things silently."
"Not bad, two idioms are used in succession."
"Xu Wenxuan, I'm just a science student, not illiterate. You can't insult me like this."
"No, no, just kidding."
…
"Brother, this is your workplace. All those books were written here, right?"
Zhang Zhong raised his head and glanced at his cousin Zhang Yu, not wanting to pay attention to him. However, this time Zhang Yu came with his wife, so Zhang Zhong gave him some face and said, "Basically, we are here."
Today is the Little New Year. Zhang Yu and his wife came here nominally to take Zhang Zhong’s family to their home to celebrate the Little New Year, but Hu Huifang and Zhang Xingjun declined.
Although their family did not go there, Zhang Yu and his wife were left behind.
They had been here before, but they had only sat downstairs, so they had to come up and have a look this time.
Zhang Yu and the others were on the side, but Zhang Zhong was not in the mood to work, so he stood up and said, "The heating on the second floor is not working. I will take you down and get you a glass of water."
"Brother, please leave us alone. Lily and I will go about our own business."
"Okay, I won't accompany you anymore." Zhang Zhong sat down again.
Zhang Yu took his wife for a stroll on the second floor and walked to Peng Peng's studio. Peng Peng was not there at this time, but the door was open.
After entering, Lily looked around and said, "This studio belongs to your brother and his daughter, right?"
"My brother's daughter, Peng Peng, that's our niece. She has been learning painting since she was a child, and I heard she has won many awards."
"It's different if you have money. A child's studio is bigger than our living room."
"Of course, you don't look at my brother's net worth."
Lily pointed to the painting on the wall and said, "The little girl in this photo is Pengpeng, why doesn't she show her face?"
"This is called hazy beauty, not all art is like this."
"Why are you hanging photos for art? Hey, this doesn't seem to be a photo..."
Lily saw something different, so she walked closer and took a closer look, "This seems to be painted on."
"How could it be painted on? How can a painting be so... Let me go, there really is paint."
Just as Zhang Yu was about to touch it, Hu Huifang, who rushed over to call them to eat, saw it. She quickly shouted, "Xiaoyu, you can't touch this."
"Second Aunt, I didn't touch it, I just looked at it." Zhang Yu retracted his hand and said with a smile, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart. It's just a painting. As for being so stingy, he wouldn't even touch it.
Hu Huifang was afraid that Zhang Yu had any objections, so she said, "It's not that Second Aunt is stingy. This painting was given by Teacher Pengpeng, and it has a different meaning."
"Second Aunt, don't worry, I won't touch you."
"The food is cooked, let's go down and eat."
After dinner, Zhang Yu and the others still didn't leave. Zhang Xingjun chatted with his nephew in the living room, while Zhang Zhong still went to the study to work.
Zhang Yu thought of the painting he saw in the studio before and asked, "Second uncle, I heard that Pengpeng had a teacher. The painting in her studio was painted by his teacher? I think the painting is quite real.
ah."
Zhang Xingjun smiled proudly, "That painting is not simple. It was Pengpeng's teacher, Dean Wu, who painted it himself and gave it to her. I heard that someone wanted to buy it for 30 million, but he didn't even sell it."
The couple was stunned. Did they just want to touch a painting worth 30 million? Especially Zhang Yu. In fact, just now he wanted to use his nails to pick the paint on it to make sure it was a painting.
painting.
Zhang Xingjun saw the expressions of the two of them and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yu forced a smile and said, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised."
…
Early the next morning, Chen Qing made a phone call. He sounded very excited and said, "Boss, I have good news!"
"Did the sales of "Sophie's World" break the record on the first day?" Zhang Zhong asked.
Chen Qing was stunned. He wanted to say this, but Zhang Zhong said it first.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess this matter. Chen Qing is not surprised that Zhang Zhong can think of it. The main reason is that the boss's tone has not changed at all, as if he is talking about an insignificant thing.
Isn't this enough to excite him?
"Isn't it?" Chen Qing didn't speak for a few seconds, and Zhang Zhong asked again.
Chen Qing calmed down and said, "Yes, the first-day sales of "Sophie's World" reached 31 million copies, setting a new record. Linde's record has become history."
