Chapter 1037 Cooperation
Adrian suddenly had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before Huaxia culture might regain its mainstream position, or even its dominant position.

If that day really comes, judging from how little they know about Chinese culture, they will be left behind.

In any case, he believes that more French people should be exposed to Chinese culture.

Although French people's contact with Chinese culture has become more normalized in recent years than in previous years, Adrian hopes that this progress can be made faster.

……

After the exchange of the day, when Zhang Zhong returned to the hotel at night and was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Zhang Zhong saw Adrian outside the door and a young man he didn't know through the cat's eyes.

After opening the door, Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Mr. Adrian, what's the matter for coming to my place so late?"

Adrian couldn't understand Huaxia, and the young man next to him said, "Mr. Zhang Zhong, Mr. Adrian wants to talk to you about something. Is it convenient?"

Zhang Zhong was slightly surprised by the young man's standard Chinese language.

After being surprised, he stepped aside and said with a smile, "Of course, you are very welcome."

After inviting the two into the room, Zhang Zhong took the kettle and poured water for them, "I only have tea here, do you drink plain water or tea?"

The young man said something to Adrian in French with a smile, and after getting a response, he said to Zhang Zhong, "Please give us two cups of tea, thank you."

"No problem." Zhang Zhong brewed two cups of tea for them and poured himself another cup of boiled water.

It's not a good thing to drink tea at such an early night.

After taking the teacup, the young man introduced himself, "My name is Giroud. I used to be a student of Mr. Adrian. He called and told me that I would translate for him. I didn't expect to come to see you. As someone who likes Huaxia Cultural French, I like reading your works very much, and I can confidently say that I know more about your works than many Chinese readers."

Zhang Chong nodded with a smile, "You speak Chinese very well. I don't know why Mr. Adrian is looking for me so late. I think it's not just a simple chat, right?"

"Of course, I didn't just want to chat with you when I took the liberty to come here so late. It's like this pz. Today's exchange will benefit me a lot, and it also stimulated my desire to understand Chinese culture, so I came to you this time. It is also to further understand Chinese culture."

After listening to Giroud's translation, Zhang Zhong didn't understand what Adrian meant. What does it mean to learn more about Chinese culture?
Is it possible for him to explain Chinese culture to Adrian in the hotel room at night? Obviously, this possibility is unlikely.

"I think Mr. Adrian, you can be more specific. How do you want to learn more about Chinese culture?" Zhang Zhong asked.

Adrian said with a smile, "I know you are also the principal of a university, so I hope that our Fourth University can have more exchanges with your Shizhong College."

Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course this proposal is good. I also hope that Shizhong College can have more exchanges with schools like Fourth University, but does the principal of Empoli know about this?"

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry, although Empoli doesn't know that I'm coming to you for the time being, I will tell him about it tomorrow, and I will also persuade him to communicate with him at the middle school ’ said Adrian.

Zhang Zhong had no doubts about Adrian's words, and there was no need for him to lie or speak big things about his identity.

Since he said it, he should have the confidence to accomplish this matter.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Zhong had no reason to refuse, because it would be of great benefit to Shizhong College and no harm.

"In addition, I don't want the cooperation between the two schools to exist only on the surface." Just listen to Adrian continue.

Zhang Zhong looked at Adrian suspiciously, waiting for his next words.

"I hope to reach a strategic cooperation. It would be best for someone from our school to come to the middle school to study regularly every year."

"Exchange Students?"

"There is no need for an exchange. We just need some places from your middle school. Of course, if you need them, we will also provide some places to you." Adrian said.

Zhang nodded. In fact, this is an exchange student.

"What about the fees for students coming to study? I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to provide special scholarships for exchange students." Zhang Zhong said.

Adrian said with a smile, "Don't worry about the cost, we will solve it by ourselves, we just want a few places."

"However, there is another point. There is no French teacher in Shizhong College for the time being. Students from your school may not be able to be taken care of in the language when they come to our school." Zhang Zhong said again.

"Don't worry about this. The students sent there must have a foundation in Chinese. I don't want to send people who don't have a foundation in Chinese. It takes a long time to learn the basics of the language. I hope they can learn more. Much, much deeper stuff."

Zhang Zhong pondered for a while, then said, "I think this proposal is feasible."

Adrian smiled and said, "Okay, after I talk to Principal Empoli, let's formally discuss this matter."

"Also..." Empoli took a sip of hot tea, frowned and continued, "I have one more request. I hope you can give a public speech to the students of Fourth University."

Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Mr. Adrian, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, it's because my French is limited, so it's hard to guarantee the effect of such a temporary speech."

He didn't deliberately shirk it. Indeed, as he said, it is difficult to guarantee the effect of a temporary speech.He doesn't understand French, and he will definitely need an interpreter to help him.

It would be better if Zhang Zhong prepared a manuscript and asked the translator to go back and study it if given some preparation time.

But if he speaks impromptu, it may be a test for translators.If you accidentally quote the classics, the translation will get stuck. Even if you don’t get stuck, it may be difficult to guarantee the meaning of the translation.

Adrian said, "There is no need to rush the speech. You can wait until the end of your exchange meeting and then return to Fourth University to do it. During this time, you can simply prepare a manuscript and hand it over to Giroud , let him translate."

Now that Adrian has said so, Zhang Zhong nodded, "Okay, then I will try."

Hearing that Zhang Zhong agreed, Adrian said very happily, "Thank you very much, if we can discuss the cooperation between the two schools before the speech, then you can announce it during the speech. "
