The next morning, when Zhang Zhong sent Pengpeng to school, many parents he knew congratulated him.
Pengpeng still doesn't know that her father won the Goncourt Literary Prize. Even if she knew, she doesn't know what the Goncourt Literary Prize is.
So when she saw her uncles and aunts congratulating her father, she looked up with confusion on her face. She didn't know what happened. She didn't figure it out until she entered the school gate.
On the way home after sending Pengpeng off, Zhang Zhong received a call from an unknown number.
He answered the phone with some confusion, "Hello."
"Is it Zhang Zhong?" A somewhat familiar voice came over, but Zhang Zhong couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
The other party quickly introduced himself, "I am Fang Ya, do you still remember me?"
"It turns out to be Professor Fang." Of course Zhang Zhong would not forget Fang Ya. His words "I have been studying you for a long time" when receiving the Wei Feng Award impressed Zhang Zhong deeply.
"I asked Yu Dongyu for his phone number. Please forgive me for being presumptuous."
"Professor Fang was joking. I wonder why Professor Fang called me?"
"First of all, congratulations on winning the Goncourt Literature Prize." Fang Ya congratulated him first, and then said, "You also know that the topics I have studied in the past two years are closely related to you. So after thinking about it, I decided to give it to you.
After making this call, I wanted to ask if you have time recently so that I can go to Jiangyang to interview you?"
Although Fang Ya didn't say what he wanted to talk about, Zhang Zhong could guess that it was just something related to comparative literature. He made it very clear before at the Wei Feng Award Ceremony.
Since Fang Ya said that, there is no problem for Zhang Zhong to spare a few hours to meet with him. However, Zhang Zhong suddenly thought of the multi-school literary exchange meeting organized by the middle school some time ago, and he thought about it. He smiled
He said, "Of course it's convenient for me. In fact, there is a literary exchange meeting in the middle school at the end of next month. If Professor Fang is not in a hurry, he can wait until then to come. I have already made an appointment with Teacher Yu Dongyuzhuang and the others, and they will come together then.
Come here, if you are willing to come, I will contact Yu Dongyu and you will be together then."
Fang Ya thought for a while and said, "If you are willing to meet, I can wait for this little time. Since Yu Dongyu and the others are also going, then I can contact him directly and you don't need to bother."
"It's okay, I'd better tell him." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you." Fang Ya said.
"I'm serious, it's an honor for Shizhong Academy and me that you can come."
…
After talking to Fang Ya on the phone, Zhang Zhong called Yu Dongyu again and told him about Fang Ya in general.
Hearing that Fang Ya was also going, Yu Dongyu said with a smile, "Wan Wa is also going, so I guess everyone won't be lonely on the plane."
Zhang Zhong knew what Yu Dongyu meant by this. Fang Ya, Yu Dongyu and Liu Yuan liked to quarrel when they met. It wasn't that they were not on good terms, it was just a special chemical reaction.
If they really have a bad relationship and dislike each other, they should be like Wang Yi and Li Siqi, who would never say a word to each other no matter what occasion they meet.
"You should be careful on the plane. Don't let anyone hear you quarreling. Then you will have to report it, saying that there is internal strife in the Chinese literary circle. Well-known scholars are quarreling with other scholars, and Xiao Xangu and others are defeated." Zhang Zhong joked.
One sentence.
Yu Dongyu immediately quit, "What you're saying is that we can't quarrel with him alone?"
Zhang Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.
Before Zhang Zhong could speak, Yu Dongyu said again, "Besides, since you are the one reimbursing me, I will definitely book a first-class ticket without anyone around."
"How about I simply charter a plane for you?" Zhang Zhong said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Yu Dongyu hit the snake with a stick and said with a smile, "Is it okay? How to operate it?"
"..."
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding. Okay, I know this, don't worry, no matter the quarrel, I will still buy the ticket for him. In addition, I also want to congratulate you on winning the Goncourt Literary Prize. This recent paragraph
It’s time to think about what you can do with ten euros, and we’ll be waiting for you to entertain us when we go there next month.”
…
Zhang Zhong should really consider how to use the ten-euro bonus of the Goncourt Literature Prize. Now that the award has settled, he is waiting for the award ceremony to be held, then he can get the ten-euro bonus. This will also be Zhang Zhong’s first
The award with the smallest bonus ever - except for those awards that do not award any bonus at all.
Naturally, it is impossible to actually spend the ten euro bonus. Even if Zhang Zhong does not care about this award very much, he will not spend the ten yuan.
In the end, he will not be exempt from vulgarity, and will most likely frame the ten yuan and put it on the shelf he specially uses to display trophies.
That banknote will not be the only coin on the trophy shelf, because there was already a one-yuan Huaxia coin on it before.
That was the reward Zhang Zhong received for writing poems for his paintings when he met He Ruchu for the second time.
He put the coin into a glass box and placed it on the top shelf of the trophy shelf, because it represented the beginning of the friendship between Zhang Zhong and He Ruchu.
Today is the second day of February when the dragon raises its head, but this is not a traditional festival that Chinese people usually pay attention to, so there is no special feeling when walking on the road.
In previous years, except that the business of the barber shop would be better than usual, this day would be no different from an ordinary day.
But this year is slightly different, because the Light of China Zhang Zhong once again "expanded territory" and added a heavyweight literary trophy to the Asian literary circle, which will also become a monument in the Asian literary circle.
Regardless of whether an Asian will win the Prix Goncourt again in the future, Zhang Zhong’s trophy will be engraved in people’s hearts.
And not just in Asia, Zhang Zhong will also become a name that people cannot avoid when talking about the Goncourt Literary Prize in the future.
This is the first time that the Prix Goncourt has awarded an award to an Asian. It is also the first time that the Prix Goncourt has awarded an award to a writer from the third world whose culture is relatively silent. It is also the first time that the Prix Goncourt has awarded an award to an Asian.
This is the first time an award has been given to a writer in his early thirties.
Therefore, on February 2 this year, in addition to the business of barber shops being better than usual, major bookstores also welcomed more customers.
Invariably, "Lord of the Flies" has been placed in the most conspicuous place in major bookstores, so that people who enter the bookstore can see it at a glance.
There are even some bookstores, such as Nanfang Bookstore, which has a close relationship with Zhang Zhong, and hung a large banner at the door to congratulate Zhang Zhong for winning the Goncourt Literary Prize.
…
Jin Fei had no classes in the morning, so he came to Nanfang Bookstore early in the morning.
This has become a base for him, and sometimes he will bring students here to hold internal exchange meetings.
Looking up at the long banner at the entrance of Nanfang Bookstore, Jin Fei felt a little incredible, because the Goncourt Literary Prize was only announced in the middle of the night, but Nanfang Bookstore actually hung up the banner early in the morning. How fast it was.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the Southern Bookstore had already prepared the banner before the Goncourt Literary Prize was announced, but only hung it up this morning.
Just as some media issued a press release with thousands of words within one minute after the news was announced, this was all prepared in advance. Moreover, the Southern Bookstore only needed to prepare one banner, unlike those media that had to prepare two sets of manuscripts
