Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 292 Give Some Face (23)
Ministry of Foreign Affairs?Office of the Head of State?
Chen Qing remembered the two emails he had received before.

Subconsciously, he felt that this was a serial scam, but he didn't dare to hang up the phone rashly when he was uncertain.

Regarding the emails, Chen Qing explained to the comrades in the foreign affairs department that it might be because there were too many emails from the company that he didn't notice, so he would go to check them out, and now that he knew the situation, he would report this matter to Zhang Zhong later. It will take some time for the specific situation to be answered.

The other party smiled and said that they were just helping to spread the word. Although it was a call from the Office of the Head of State of the United States, they may not necessarily agree to their request.

But having said that, the comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still told Chen Qing tactfully that if it was not particularly difficult, it would be best to give the head of the United States some face.

Chen Qing had never dealt with this kind of thing before, so he could only nod repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't lose his mind, and first checked the landline number of the other party's call.

After checking, Chen Qing was also a little confused. It was really the landline number of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After being dazed for a while, he hurriedly opened the mailbox, flipped through it for a while, and finally found the email that hadn't been deleted before.

"No, I have to report this matter to the boss as soon as possible." If you don't fight, let's not talk about whether he can make the decision, even if the other party asks him, he doesn't know.

Is there a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball"? Is there an English version of "I, Robot"?
Zhang Zhong never told him about these two things.

He felt that the second question should be affirmative. According to the boss's habit, even if the English version is not released now, the English version will be released in a few days.

As for "The Wandering Sea Ball", some people have been guessing that there will be a sequel or an extended story, but Zhang Zhong didn't say anything, and no one is sure.

When Chen Qing received the call, Zhang Zhong was taking Pengpeng to see the terracotta warriors.

"Hello, Chen Qing?"

Zhang Zhong held Pengpeng with one hand so that she could see the terracotta warriors in the pit.

"Boss, there is something I must report to you."

Chen Qing's voice was a little excited, which surprised Zhang Chong. He remembered that Chen Qing had never been so excited when the sales of "Dune" came out.

"what's up?"

"The Office of the Head of State of the United States sent us an email asking if there is a sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball" and if there is an English version of "I, Robot", they mean, if there is, can they give them a sneak peek. "Although Chen Qing was excited, he still spoke in an orderly manner, and simply explained the matter.

"Oh?" Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, "The head of state's office? Has the other party's identity been confirmed?"

"confirmed."

"How are you sure?" Zhang Zhong asked curiously.

"A leader from the Foreign Affairs Department called just now..."

Chen Qing told all about the previous oolong incident and the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Boss, I'm to blame for this. I was too empirical and treated the other party as a liar." After speaking, Chen Qing apologized.

Zhang Zhong comforted him with a smile, "It's okay, if it were me, I probably think the same as you. As for their problems..."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhong said, "Reply to them that there is indeed a so-called sequel to "The Wandering Sea Ball", but it will take some time. As for the English version of "I, Robot", they should be able to see it soon. , same as last time, after the English version comes out, you can help me put it on the literature website in North America, and everyone can see it.”

"Serialized?"

"Well, serialization, the speed will not be too slow, at the slowest two chapters can be published in a week."

"Then..." Chen Qing hesitated for a while and said, "Should we send them the English version first?"

He still remembered the words of the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: If possible, it is best to give the head of the United States this face.

"Whatever, anyway, it won't be much sooner. I'm going to turn a chapter into a chapter. If you want to save their face, then just send them an hour in advance." Zhang Zhong said casually.

The attitude of the boss - it's awesome!
"Dad, I want to be taller, can you hold me on your neck?"

Peng Peng's voice came from the phone.

Then Zhang Zhong said, "Okay, let's leave it at that. I'm a bit busy now, so I'll talk about it later if I have any questions."

"it is good……"

beep...

Chen Qing looked at the phone that had been hung up, and shook his head with complicated emotions. In the eyes of the boss, the status of the head of the United States is not as good as his precious daughter, no, it's not that, it's far.

Zhang Zhong put the phone away, then pinched Peng Peng's armpits with both hands, and lifted Peng Peng up with all his strength, letting her ride on his neck.

Pengpeng couldn't sit still, and quickly grabbed Zhang Zhong's hair with both hands.

Zhang Zhong felt pain for a while, thinking that sooner or later his daughter would make him bald.

In fact, he has already written a few chapters of the English version of "I, Robot", but he has not published it in his hand. He originally wanted to wait until it was all written. This plan was advanced.

This can be regarded as an exception for them, which is already very face-saving.

However, he also found it interesting. He didn't expect Comrade Guan Hai to be so free and still have time to read novels, and he was quite addicted to books, so he even sent an email to remind him to update.

"Father, I heard from my class that there are real people inside the terracotta warriors. Is this true?"

Peng Peng held Zhang Zhong's head and asked.

How to say this misunderstanding.

Not to mention Pengpeng, even many adults have believed this statement, because the terracotta warriors and horses are so magical, not only the appearance is lifelike, but also the appearance of each terracotta warrior is different. It is hard to imagine what kind of ingenious craftsmanship it requires , How could there be such a technology more than 2000 years ago.

Ordinary clay figurines only have a rough shape, but the terracotta warriors and horses are meticulous, and even the details of the nails are done.

The original terracotta warriors and horses were colored, and there are photos of the newly unearthed terracotta warriors and horses in the hall. The colors are very bright and very real, more like real people.

However, after being unearthed, the paint layer will curl up after being exposed to the air for 15 seconds, and it will peel off within a few minutes.

"Now that you see the terracotta warriors, do you think they are real people?"

Peng Peng shook his head, "No, I saw that many terracotta warriors were broken, and the insides were all empty."

"Well, so if someone tells you that the terracotta warriors and horses are real people in the future, just say that you have seen them, but they are not real people."

"Yeah, I'll tell them when I get back."

Zhang Zhong smiled gratifiedly, then looked around to find his parents.

Since they came in just now, they have been holding up their cameras to take pictures everywhere, and they don't know where they went now.

When Zhang Zhong saw them, he found that the two of them were explaining behind a small tourist group.
