Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 752 How to Spend Ten Euros

The next morning, when Zhang Zhong sent Pengpeng to school, many parents he knew congratulated him.

Pengpeng didn't know that her father had won the Goncourt Literature Prize, and even if she knew, she didn't know what the Goncourt Literature Prize was.

So watching her uncles and aunts congratulate her father, she looked up with a puzzled face, not knowing what happened, until she entered the school, she didn't figure it out.

On the way home after dropping off Pengpeng, Zhang Zhong received a call from an unfamiliar number.

He answered the phone with some doubts, "Hello."

"Is it Zhang Zhong?" A somewhat familiar voice came, but Zhang Zhong couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

The other party quickly reported his family name, "I'm Fang Ya, do you remember me?"

"It turned out to be Professor Fang." Of course Zhang Zhong would not forget Fang Ya. Zhang Zhong was deeply impressed by his sentence "I have studied you for a long time" at the Wei Feng Award.

"I asked Yu Dongyu for the phone number, please forgive me for being presumptuous."

"Professor Fang was joking, I don't know why Professor Fang called me?"

"Congratulations on winning the Goncourt Prize for Literature." Fang Ya congratulated first, and then said, "You also know that the subject I have studied in the past two years is very related to you. So after much deliberation, I decided to give it to you. After making this call, I want to ask if you have time recently, is it convenient for me to go to Jiangyang to have an interview with you?"

Although Fang Ya didn't say what he wanted to talk about, Zhang Zhong could guess that it was nothing more than something related to comparative literature. He made it very clear at the Wei Feng Award ceremony.

Now that Fang Ya said so, it’s okay for Zhang Zhong to spare a few hours to meet with him, but Zhang Zhong suddenly thought of the multi-school literature exchange meeting organized by the middle school some time ago, so he moved his mind, he laughed He said, "Of course it's convenient for me. In fact, there is a literature exchange meeting at the end of next month in the middle school. If Professor Fang is not in a hurry, he can wait until then. I have already made an appointment with Teacher Yu Dongyuzhuang and the others. When the time comes, they will come together. Come here, if you are willing to come, I will contact Yu Dongyu, and you will be together when the time comes."

Fang Ya thought for a while, and said, "You are willing to meet, I can wait for this time. Since Yu Dongyu and the others are also going, then I will contact him directly, and you don't need to bother."

"It's okay, I'll talk to him." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.

"Then I will trouble you." Fang Ya said.

"It's serious, it's an honor for Shizhong Academy and me that you can come."

……

After talking with Fang Ya on the phone, Zhang Zhong called Yu Dongyu again and told him about Fang Ya's affairs.

Hearing that Fang Ya was going too, Yu Dongyu said with a smile, "Wan Wa is going too, so I guess everyone won't be lonely on the plane."

Zhang Chong knew what Yu Dongyu meant. Fang Ya, Yu Dongyu and Liu Yuan liked to quarrel when they saw each other. It wasn't that they had a bad relationship, it was just a special chemical reaction.

If the relationship is really bad and they don't like each other, it should be like Wang Yi and Li Siqi, no matter what occasion they meet, they won't say a word to each other.

"You should be careful on the plane, don't let anyone hear you arguing, and then you will have to report it, saying that there is internal strife in the Chinese literary circle, well-known scholars are fighting with Confucianism, and Xiao Xan'er and others are defeated." Zhang Zhong teased said a word.

Yu Dongyu quit immediately, "What are you talking about, can it be that we can't quarrel with him alone?"

Zhang Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth, whoever loses and who wins is not the point at all, okay?

Before Zhang Zhong could speak, Yu Dongyu said again, "Besides, since you are reimbursed, I must book a first-class ticket, and there is no one around."

"Do you want me to 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 possible? How do you do it?"

"..."

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding. Well, I know about this, so don't worry, I'll buy the plane ticket for him. In addition, I also want to congratulate you on winning the Goncourt Literature Prize. The recent paragraph It's time to think about what Ten Ou can do, and we will wait for you to entertain us when we pass by next month."

……

Zhang Chong should really think about how to use the ten euro bonus of the Goncourt Literature Prize. Now that the award has been settled, just wait for the award ceremony to be held, then he can get the ten euro bonus, which will also be Zhang Chong The one with the fewest prizes ever paid—except those prizes that pay no money at all.

Naturally, it was impossible to really spend the ten euro bonus. Even though Zhang Zhong didn't care about the award very much, he still wouldn't spend the ten euros.

In the end, he will not be exempt, and there is a high probability that he will award the ten yuan to frame it, and then put it on the shelf he specially uses to display trophies.

That banknote will not be the only coin on the trophy holder, because a one-yuan Huaxia Coin has been placed on it before that.

That was the reward Zhang Zhong got for inscribing 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 stand, because it represented the beginning of the friendship between Zhang Zhong and He Ruchu.

Today is the second dragon raising its head in February, 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 Zhang Zhong, the light of Huaxia, once again "expanded the frontier and expanded the 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 there will be Asians who will win the Goncourt Prize again in the future, Zhang Zhong's trophy will be engraved in people's hearts.

And not only in Asia, Zhang Zhong will also become a name that cannot be avoided when people talk about the Goncourt Prize in the future.

This is the first time that the Goncourt Prize for Literature has awarded an award to an Asian, and it is also the first time that the Goncourt Prize for Literature has awarded an award to a third world writer whose culture is relatively silent. For the first time, the award was given to a writer in his early 30s.

Therefore, on February [-] of this year, in addition to the better business of the barber shop than usual, the major bookstores also welcomed more customers.

Coincidentally, "Lord of the Flies" is placed in the most conspicuous place by major bookstores, so that people who enter the bookstore can see it at a glance.

There are even some bookstores, such as the Nanfang Bookstore, which is closely related to Zhang Zhong, hang a big banner at the door to congratulate Zhang Zhong for winning the Goncourt Literature Prize.

……

Jin Fei had no class in the morning, so he ran to the Southern Bookstore early in the morning.

This has become one of his bases, and sometimes he will bring students here for internal exchange meetings.

Looking up at the long banner at the entrance of Nanfang Bookstore, Jin Fei found it a bit inconceivable, because the Goncourt Literature Prize was announced in the middle of the night, but Nanfang Bookstore actually put up the banner early in the morning, what a speed it was.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the Southern Bookstore had already finished the banner before the announcement of the Goncourt Literature Prize, but it was only hung up this morning.

Just as some media released a press release of thousands of words within one minute after the news was announced, all of which were prepared in advance.Moreover, the Southern Bookstore only needs to prepare one banner, unlike those media who have to prepare two sets of manuscripts and eventually discard one set.
