When an old man looked at Zhang Zhong affectionately and said, "I have been studying you for a long time," this scene made him feel extremely weird.
Not only Zhang Zhong, but also several others nearby were also very surprised.
Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You are a bit particular about your choice of words. What do you mean you have been studying him for a long time? Please tell me how you studied him."
Fang Ya laughed when he saw the way others looked at him, "What else can I study, just study his works. Zhang Zhong's works have a wide range of styles, and they are both Chinese and Western."
"So what? Yu Dongyu has quite a few styles, and it doesn't matter how you study him." Liu Yuan said.
Fang Ya shook his head, "That's wrong. Dong Yu does have many styles, but they are still within a fixed range. In essence, he has not escaped the shackles of a Chinese literary creator. But Zhang Zhong is different. He has many styles.
The work has broken away from the characteristics of Eastern literature, and instead vividly expresses the core of Western literature. I know that many writers may be influenced by some Western writers and are somewhat similar in style. This is not surprising, but the influence is the influence.
, this is the first time I have seen such an in-depth study as Zhang Zhong's. The one that impressed me the most and the one I studied the most is "A Murder Case Publicized in Advance". It is amazing. Among those of us who call ourselves comparative literature researchers, it is still
Without an in-depth understanding of other cultures across borders, Zhang Zhong has been able to use them like a finger. I am amazed, but also very ashamed."
"Then you have been researching for so long, and have you come up with anything? Is it useful to you?"
"Not yet, but it doesn't matter. As long as a person like Zhang Zhong exists, I believe that what I want to study will definitely be able to find a way."
"Huh." Liu Yuan sneered, "Looking at your look just now, I thought you had gained something."
"It is precisely because I have nothing to gain that I am so happy to see Zhang Zhong in front of me."
Uh...that expression just now was not happy at all.
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "I may disappoint Mr. Fang. I know nothing about what you are studying, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
Fang Ya waved his hand and said, "If you know everything, then what else do you need us to do? It doesn't matter, as long as we can have a nice chat."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "This is not difficult."
"You said on stage just now that you can speak German?" Fang Ya asked again, changing the subject.
"Well, I do know a little bit. I had some contact with Germany because of my work, so I learned a bit." Mr. Zhang said.
Fang Ya asked curiously, "Why do you work? As far as I know, you graduated from Jiangyang University School of Computer Science and found a job locally after graduation. The company mainly accepts financial institutions' entrustment to engage in financial information technology outsourcing. There is no such thing as this job."
How long have you been doing this, and were you in contact with Germany during that time?"
Zhang Zhong also casually said that running to Germany was something he did before on Earth.
Most people wouldn't be confused after hearing this, but Zhang Zhong didn't expect that Fang Ya not only studied his works, but also investigated his personal resume.
After all, Zhang Zhong is a public figure, and his personal information can be found online, including which schools he attended from elementary school to university and what he has done.
However, regarding his work information, it is generally not possible to find too detailed information on the Internet. It is only said that Zhang Zhong has been engaged in computer-related industries for a period of time.
Fang Ya obviously didn't simply read the encyclopedia, otherwise he wouldn't know that their company's main business is financial information outsourcing.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I just want to get to know you better. If I've offended you, I apologize to you now," Fang Ya said.
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "No, it's just very general information. Our company has no business dealings with Germany, but I personally looked for information about Germany due to some work needs, so I learned some German by myself."
"That's right." Fang Ya nodded, "I have to say that your language skills are really strong. German is much more difficult than English, but I can even learn English in general."
"Actually, it's not bad. German is not more difficult than English. If you are good at English, at least you will be able to pick up the spoken language quickly when learning German." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
He said it very objectively. For those who have learned English, there is no problem if they want to learn a little bit of German for daily communication. The difficulties in German mainly focus on parts of speech and grammar.
"Don't let this old guy fool you. He is a language expert and is proficient in English, French and Spanish." Liu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Although he doesn't want to admit it, he is really good at listening on this point."
Fang Ya smiled and said, "It's not easy to get a compliment from you, but proficiency doesn't count. It's just used for daily communication."
…
When the dinner ended, it was already getting late, after all, it started very late.
It was already past ten o'clock when Zhang Zhong returned to the hotel. He was taking the high-speed train tomorrow morning, so he went back to the hotel to wash up and went to bed directly.
The next morning, he got on the train back to Jiangyang.
Like him, many book fans woke up early because today is the official release day of the new book "Clockwork Girl".
Wang Yu is one of those people who get up early because he has to go to work, so he needs to go to the bookstore very early.
I have to go early. It will definitely be difficult to buy books today.
Because the new book "Clockwork Girl" can be exchanged with Star Card points, there must be many book lovers going back to the bookstore today to exchange books for free. Not to mention the large number of people, exchanging books with points will definitely affect the checkout progress.
Wang Yu knew about the Starry Sky membership card because of Chen Qing's promotion at the Nebula Awards. When he learned that 500 points could be exchanged for a book, he thought it was quite difficult to get 500 points. After all, it meant spending 500 points.
Where's the money?
But what he didn't expect was that he had reached 500 points in just over a month.
Because you can get points not only by purchasing Zhang Zhong’s books, but also by the industries under their company, and you can even get points by spending money in the Tianwang Technology Exhibition Hall.
The ticket price for the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall is more than 100, and you can have a cup of coffee and buy a book inside, or buy some peripherals.
Add in the must-buy "Zero Zero One" magazine for every issue, and books written by other contracted authors, and before you know it, you've got 500 points.
Looking back, the Star Sky membership card is a complete benefit to him, because even without this card, he would still have so much consumption.
Now he can still save tens of dollars to buy "Clockwork Girl".
