Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 847 Branch
"Is that red-haired aunt the fat uncle's girlfriend?"

In the back row of the auditorium, Peng Peng looked at the stage and asked curiously.

The adults didn't know how to answer for a while, if it was yes they were not sure, if it was no Pengpeng would have to ask why they hugged each other.

"You can ask your fat uncle yourself later." Hu Huifang said.

Pengpeng pursed his lips, "I can't even understand Uncle Fatty's speech, and I need Dad and Teacher Xu to translate."

"Didn't you communicate well before?" Xu Yuhan smiled.

"That's tiring too."

Llorente chatted with Pengpeng several times, and sometimes they could chat without Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan translating them. They could chat for several 10 minutes at a time with the few Chinese words or English words they knew and gestures.

"Why is fat uncle blushing?" Peng Peng pointed to Llorente on the stage and asked.

Children have good eyesight, and they can see Llorente blushing from such a distance.

Xu Yuhan explained, "It should be because the weather is relatively hot."

……

Penny Austin's acceptance speech didn't take too long this time, and she dragged Llorente down in just two or three minutes.

Originally, Llorente wanted to go down first by himself, but Penny Austin stopped him and insisted on letting him wait for her.

Seeing the two walking down together, Zhang Chong tilted his head and said to Linde, "This guy must have something to hide from us. Haven't you been with him for the past few days? Didn't you find anything?"

"I've been with him all the time... No, after our 'flash mob' today, didn't he stay with Austin, and then I didn't wait for him in the lounge, and he didn't show up until after dinner at night .”

"You mean, during these few hours, he was with Penny Austin?"

"It's very possible." Linde nodded. "In retrospect, this guy was a bit abnormal during the meal. He is usually so talkative, but he basically didn't say a few words during the dinner."

"When did you have dinner?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"05:30." Linde thought for a while and replied.

"Well, so the time of the incident should be between 05:30 p.m. , He should have been wearing a v-neck T-shirt before, but now he has replaced it with a shirt, and it has been buttoned up to the second button, which is not what he usually wears."

"Well, to hear what you said, it's true. I thought it was normal for him to change clothes after cosplaying, and I didn't think so much. You mean, there will be evidence on his neck or chest?" Linde touched his chin Said.

"Yes, as long as we can take a look at his clothes, everything will be revealed."

"Ahem..." Linde coughed lightly, "Is your latest book a detective type?"

Zhang Zhong also laughed, "You guessed right."

"What's right?" Llorente had already walked over, and asked curiously when he heard Zhang Zhong's words.

"It's nothing, Linde guessed that "Green Soil" would win the award, and I said he was right." Zhang Zhong said.

Llorente asked strangely, "Didn't he think that "The Sun of Acopohan" was the most likely to win the award?"

"..."

In fact, Linde never guessed the outcome of the novella. Llorente said this on purpose, just to embarrass Linde.

When he stepped off the stage just now, he saw Zhang Zhong and Lin De looking at him and muttering.

With his ass, he knew that these two guys must be talking bad about him, and this was just a small counterattack.

Penny Austin said with a smile: "I also thought that "The Sun of Acopohan" might finally win the award, so I was very surprised and surprised to get this award. I even hugged Daniel excitedly just now."

Llorente said to Federer, who was sitting behind him, "Roger, don't lose heart, keep working hard."

Roger Federer had a beeping dog expression on his face, and said in his heart that he had done something wrong to bear such pain here.You guys are joking around, so you can't bring trouble to a small writer like me, right?

At this moment, Hilde has stepped onto the stage again, and he is going to announce the results of the Best Novel Award in person.

Zhang Zhong and the others stopped chatting and focused all their attention on the stage.

"Before I introduce the shortlisted works, I have one thing to announce to everyone." Hilde put aside the hand card with the winning results, and then took out another piece of paper, "This paper in my hand It is an overview of the plan. Just yesterday, the World Science Fiction Convention reached a strategic agreement with the Jiangyang City Government. Jiangyang City provides a new office for the World Science Fiction Association, which is in the newly built Huaxia Science Fiction City. If the final agreement is reached, the World Science Fiction Society will establish a branch in Jiangyang."

As soon as Hilde said this, the audience was in an uproar.

Although the World Science Fiction Association hangs the word world, it is actually an American organization. The association is well-known and influential, but its size is not large. The existing office space is sufficient, and there is no need to set up a branch across the ocean.

And according to Hilde, this branch is not a simple office, but a large-scale office.

What is this going to do?
Is the World Science Fiction Society moving?

Both Linde and Llorente turned their eyes to Zhang Zhong who was sitting next to them in surprise.

"Pz, do you know about this?" Linde asked.

Zhang Zhong shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard about it."

He didn't lie to Linde and the others. He really didn't know in advance that the World Science Fiction Association was going to open a branch in Jiangyang. He was very surprised to hear Hilde say this just now.

"Since you didn't participate, how did the Jiangyang Municipal Government convince Hilde and the others to open a branch here?"

Zhang Zhong shook his head, "You think highly of me and ignore the capabilities of the local government too much. I guess the Jiangyang government should have promised other benefits besides providing an office in the newly built Science Fiction City."

"What good?" Llorente asked.

"How do I know this, but since the association can make such a decision, the promised benefits shouldn't be too bad." Having said that, Zhang Zhong frowned. He was afraid that the local government would rush to show off and promise too much. Let a very good thing become a burden on the local government.

The branch of the World Science Fiction Association settled in the new Huaxia Science Fiction City will definitely be beneficial to Jiangyang and even Huaxia.

But this is the same as doing business. Whether you earn or lose depends on what you pay.
