The translator and assistant who followed saw someone taking pictures and was about to stop them, but Zhang Zhong waved his hand to let them take pictures.
Zhang Zhong not only allowed them to take photos as they pleased, but also walked directly to the small stage next to him.
There is a piano on this stage, which is used for performances in the hotel.
Zhang Zhong couldn't use the piano, so he had to use the microphone next to him.
He walked up and picked up the microphone, smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Zhong. I'm very happy to be here to attend James and Anna's wedding today. First of all, I want to apologize for coming without saying anything, because I caused
It caused a little commotion, I hope you don't mind."
Zhang Zhong spoke in English, and after finishing a paragraph, he asked his assistant to translate it into French.
"Sometimes I have to lament that the world is really small. Thinking back to when I met Anna in Paris a few years ago, I never imagined that one day I would come to attend her wedding. Similarly, when I met James before, I never thought
I never thought that the two of them would be together. There is a saying in China that says, 'Hold your hand and grow old together with your son.' Here I send this sentence to Anna and James. I hope you can make it to the end."
"Since I'm here to attend the wedding, I can't come empty-handed." Zhang Chongchong waved to his assistant, who understood and took out a box from his bag.
"This box contains the manuscript of "Metamorphoses", which is not a valuable thing. But since you got to know each other because of my works, I think it might be more meaningful to give you something like this."
Each of Zhang Zhong's books has a manuscript. Some manuscripts were transcribed directly, and some were recorded into a computer and rewritten later.
"Metamorphosis" was written later. Although it is not long, it took him a lot of time.
He said that the gift was not expensive, but when people heard that the box contained the manuscript of "Metamorphoses", they were all surprised by Zhang Zhong's generosity.
How could this not be valuable? Everyone knows the significance of the manuscript. It is a unique thing, and there has never been a Zhang Zhong manuscript on the market.
Let alone a manuscript, even Zhang Zhong's handwriting, which has a larger number of words, doesn't have much.
This manuscript must have tens of thousands of words. Let’s not say that it is a manuscript. Just say that it is tens of thousands of words casually written by Zhang Zhong. It can be sold for a sky-high price.
Zhang Zhong himself knew that this manuscript would definitely be worth a lot of money, but he still gave it away because he really felt that his fate with Anna and James was wonderful.
He waved to James who was in a daze, and when James came over, he handed the box into his hand, "This manuscript will be yours from now on."
James didn't dare to take it, "pz, we absolutely can't take such a valuable thing."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Why, I can't even give you a gift? Just accept it."
With an unquestionable tone in his tone, James subconsciously took the box.
"Don't worry, Anna and I will take good care of this gift." James held the box carefully and signed it.
Zhang Zhong waved his hand, "Don't take it too seriously, it is a foreign object after all. And since I gave it to you, you have complete right to dispose of it, no matter how you want to deal with it. Even if you sell it
Just change money."
James quickly said, "There is absolutely no way I can sell it."
Zhang Zhong laughed and said, "Don't be so serious. Okay, I got off the plane and rushed here directly. I'm a little tired now. I won't attend after the wedding."
In fact, being tired was only one aspect. Zhang Zhong considered that since he was here, the wedding couldn't go on as usual, so he shouldn't cause trouble to others here.
"Why don't you have something to eat here before leaving? I'll ask the hotel to arrange a separate room for you. No one will disturb you," James said.
Zhang Zhong smiled and rejected James's kindness, "No, you have a lot to do today. I'll go say hello to Anna and leave."
After saying that, he walked directly to Anna. When Anna saw Zhang Zhong coming, she excitedly wanted to give Zhang Zhong a hug.
Zhang Zhong quickly stepped back, put his hands in front of him, and said in Chinese, "Anna, we in China don't want this."
Ana smiled through her tears, "I know, you are afraid that Miss Xu will be angry."
"Haha, it's good that you know. I'll leave first and wish you and James the best again." Zhang Zhong said as he walked outside the hotel.
James and Anna were coming to see them off, so Zhang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Just stay."
When he said to stay, others really stayed.
Watching Zhang Zhong leave, James held Anna in his arms, "I didn't expect him to really come."
"I didn't expect it either." Anna murmured, then saw the box in James' hand and asked, "You must keep this gift safe, it is too precious."
"Don't worry, I'll get a safe and put it in it later." James said.
After Zhang Zhong left and no one was around, the spectators turned their attention to James again.
Several good friends of James ran over and said, "James, you never said that you had such a good relationship with pz that he would come to your wedding."
"Actually, it's not that good, but because Anna and I are both his fans, he has a deeper impression of us. By the way, didn't I tell you that Zhang Zhong met Anna when he went to Paris before."
James said truthfully.
But my friends didn't believe me at all, "If we don't get along well, can I give you the manuscript? This manuscript is worth at least one hundred thousand dollars."
Another friend laughed and said, "One hundred thousand dollars? I'll pay you one hundred thousand dollars, and you go buy me a copy? It's impossible to buy it without half a million dollars. I remember that a book specially signed by pz sold for one
It’s $10,000. There’s only one sentence on it.”
"Oh, it's a pity that it's not the manuscript of "Lord of the Flies", otherwise it would have sold for at least several million dollars."
"What are you thinking about? "Lord of the Flies" is the winning work of the Goncourt Literary Prize. Can I give you the manuscript?"
"So what? I think "Metamorphosis" is even better than "Lord of the Flies". Isn't that just because it didn't win the grand prize? James, just wait, this manuscript will definitely become more and more valuable."
James held the box and said, "I won't sell it."
"Hey, if someone offered me $10 million, would you sell it?"
"No, I won't sell it no matter how much money you pay, absolutely not."
"Then we'll wait and see. But I heard that two of Zhang Zhong's movies will be released in France in the next two days. How about we go and watch them together?"
