Chapter 273 The President’s Private Request

What is everyone doing on Sunday morning?

I guess most of them are lying in bed watching videos and singing songs!

Of course, there must be some struggling people who want to get up early and go to work, claiming that working overtime is not worth beating the workers.

There are thousands of ways to live life, no matter which one you choose, the most important thing is that you like it.

It's just that sometimes, most people can't help themselves. Even if you are the president of a country, he has his own helplessness.

The White House, official residence of the President of the United States.

Besley got up early to work, but he did not go to the president's office, but chose to work in his bedroom.

The bedroom he lives in now has a history of nearly a hundred years, and almost all presidents in the past have lived here.

This is also the default rule. All previous presidents basically work and live in the White House. In addition to the convenience of work, the most important thing is safety.

There is nothing to be taboo about. The new president has the right to rearrange or even redesign his private room, thus erasing the traces left by the previous president.

Therefore, psychologically speaking, the succeeding president does not have any inner resentment!

Besley's bedroom was completely repainted and decorated according to his preferences, so working here is more comfortable than in the office.

Naturally, it's because today is the weekend and a day off, otherwise Besley would have to follow the rules of the White House.

And when it comes to rest, it's only relatively speaking. The president has a lot of worries in a day.

Besley first looked at the documents sent by the secretary last night, signed those that should be signed, and rejected those that should be rejected. He also arranged work with the heads of some departments over the phone. During this period, he also had a few video quarrels with a few old stubborns in Congress.

I was very busy with the fight.

It lasted until about eleven o'clock at noon, when Baisley rubbed his temples with a headache and chose to put the work at hand aside.

"The job of the President of the United States is not that easy! Let's just let that old guy get elected. I want to see if his body and bones can withstand such a high-intensity work!"

Besley thought with some evil humor.

Of course, just thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up re-election. He will become the first black president to serve two consecutive terms.

He picked up the phone again, this time using a personal mobile phone, and dialed the number of the person in charge of the Electoral College who supported him.

"Martin, it's me, how are the second round polls going?"

"Mr. President, currently six states including Arkansas, California, and Colorado are almost there. The support rates in these states have increased by 5 percentage points compared with the first round. It seems that the last time you went to the cultural and educational organization, the effect was very good.

"

Besley, who had been busy all morning, finally heard the good news at this moment. After hanging up the phone from Martin, he picked up the intercom phone in his bedroom and called his social secretary.

"Delice, help me arrange a press conference tomorrow. The time should be in the afternoon. The theme is about literature and culture. You can help me draft the manuscript."

Since it is effective, Besley will naturally hold more press conferences while the iron is hot and continue to build his own image.

After making arrangements, he stood up and moved around. As he turned around, his eyes fell on the bookshelf. There were several white-covered books on it, which made Besley's eyes pause.

These books are unwritten and have only a line of English letters on the cover. They were brought back by Besley when he went to a cultural and educational organization a few days ago. They are all among the top 100 works in this international youth literature competition.

At that time, Besley asked members of the Cultural and Educational Committee to recommend works. Although most of them were just for show, the show also required a complete set, so he brought back seven or eight books.

He was careful about what he brought with him. For example, he basically didn’t bring the books recommended by committee members from some small countries. He brought back all the books recommended by big countries. For example, “The Three-Body Problem” recommended by Yan Shanqing was on the bookshelf in the bedroom.

This is understandable. It is impossible for him to bring back all the works, and they must be distinguished.

The reason why some of the books brought back did not have exquisite covers was because the cultural and educational organizations had not yet had time to design them, and some of them were only translated manuscripts.

The top 100 works of the youth competition will eventually be produced into physical books and sold around the world. Half of the sales proceeds will be shared with the authors, and the other half will go to cultural and educational organizations. No author will have any objection to this share.

Because this "world" does not include the author's own country, the copyright still belongs to you. What the cultural and educational organizations only want is the overseas sales rights of the work. It cannot be said that they want it. They are helping the author to promote it.

"Just pick one or two books and read them, so that you can have something to say at tomorrow's press conference."

Besley muttered to himself and walked to the bookshelf and began to select white papers. The first thing he picked up was his country's work "God Wants to Think."

"When humans think, God laughs. When God wants to think, humans can't catch up."

After reading a few chapters, Besley smiled and put "God Wants to Think" back on the bookshelf. It was not that the writing was not good, but that it did not suit his taste. This is a work that is biased towards life insights and philosophical exploration.

.

It is said that human life is limited, and they do not understand their own insignificance and ignorance, but they like to think beyond infinity. The more they think, the closer they are to the truth, but in the end they find that they have been fooled by God.

And God's life is infinite, He is always thinking, so humans can never catch up.

The perspective of the book is to look at human beings from the perspective of "God", which is a bit different. However, the author himself is a young man. How much thinking about life can he have? Even if there are some remarkable contents, in Besley's

In my eyes, it's just okay.

Life is not something you read about, it is something you experience. Besley's life experience is more exciting than books.

Next, Besley picked another book.

“The three body problem.(one)”

Seeing the title of the book, Besley couldn't help but think of the scene when Yan Shanqing recommended it to him.

"The Three-Body Problem, a science fiction novel, talks about the exchanges and fights between human civilization and alien civilization, the Three-Body civilization, the Three-Body Problem, hard science fiction! Haha, don't Easterners always like to write soft science fiction, and this young man has something to do with it.

It’s different.”

Besley opened the first chapter, [Borders of Science], and then the second chapter [Billiards]

"It's interesting, the billiard problem, the principle of special relativity! No, it's the basic law of physics, which is called the most "sacred" law by scientists. The law of physics is local and has nothing to do with time (the time of hitting the billiard ball).

The location in space (the position of the pool table) doesn’t matter either. It’s hard science fiction!”

There is no doubt that these two chapters aroused Besley's interest. He did not put "The Three-Body Problem" back on the bookshelf, but took it directly to the desk and sat down, intending to spend some time reading it.

The following is Chapter 3 [The Shooter and the Farmer], and soon he saw the somewhat terrifying "Farmer Hypothesis".

Besley would certainly not feel horrified, as he had seen a lot of things in his capacity, but he remembered what happened when he had just become president.

When he was campaigning, in order to gain public support, Besley hinted that after he was successfully elected as president, he would consider releasing some confidential files, even including aliens.

Therefore, some "UFO" enthusiasts decisively voted for him. However, after he was successfully elected, although Baisley also disclosed some files, they did not contain any information about aliens and kept silent about them.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't!

In fact, Besley actually used the power of the president to review the military's investigation files on "alien incidents", including the very famous UFO crash in Roswell State.

That happened in the last century in Roswell, New Mexico, the United States. A farmer heard an explosion at night, and the next day he found the remains of a metal dish around his farm, and

Several corpses of mysterious creatures.

On that day, the army stationed and sealed off the scene. The last news was that the plane crashed and had nothing to do with aliens.

Baisley reviewed the results of the investigation at that time. The truth was that the bodies of suspected "aliens" were found, and the remains of a saucer-shaped object were determined. The military also built a stealth B2 bomber based on the wreckage.

But he is prohibited from disclosing information to outsiders, which is included in the presidential ban.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Besley became more and more interested in the follow-up story of "The Three-Body Problem". After thinking about it, he made another phone call, asking for lunch to be delivered to the bedroom.

The book "The Three-Body Problem" is magical. People who are interested will be like Besley and can't put it down. Once they start reading, they can't put it down. People who are not interested can't even read a chapter.

By the time Baisley regained consciousness, it was already evening, and the first volume of "The Three-Body Problem" in his hands was down to the last chapter.

The English version is not as difficult as the Chinese characters, and the reading speed is relatively faster.

Soon, I finished reading the last chapter.

"You are insects, this is the end of mankind. Ye Wenjie."

Baisley added an accent to Ye Wenjie's name.

There are many characters in the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", but his favorite is not Wang Miao, but Ye Wenjie. Even though she is a "villain", this character's experience, personality, and things she did made Besley excited.

sense of identity.

Just as he was feeling sorry for Ye Wenjie, the phone rang. It was the staff calling him, asking him about dinner.

Besley said without hesitation, "Send it to the bedroom."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and returned to the bookshelf, found the second volume of "The Three-Body Problem" and continued reading.

In this way, the lights in the bedroom lasted until the early hours of the morning before going out. The White House staff had to lament that the current president was so responsible. He worked so late on weekends and even used his meal time.

How did they know that the president they admired was not working, but reading novels.

Early the next morning, when secretary Delise went to the restaurant to find Besley with her schedule, she found that the president was still reading a book while eating.

Even when she was reporting, the president's eyes were still on the book, which made Delise curious. She knew the book because she got it from the cultural and educational organization, but she didn't know which one.

"Miss Liz, please adjust your schedule at noon. Cancel your outing. I will be processing documents in the office. The afternoon press conference will be as usual."

After listening to the itinerary, Besley made a change. The outing at noon was not important and the cancellation would have little impact.

As for why he made the change, the reason is very simple. He had to find time to finish the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" in the office, and there were not many chapters left.

"Okay, Mr. President."

After Delise agreed, she went to work. The president's schedule change seemed like a sentence, but it was actually very troublesome. She couldn't care less about the title of the book.

It wasn't until noon, when Delise knocked on the door of the President's Office to reconfirm the afternoon work arrangements with Besley, that the curiosity in her heart was resolved.

There was also an incident during this period. When she walked into the office, she found the president standing alone by the window, looking at the sky in the distance, and repeating a few words in his mouth.

"The Dark ForesDark Fores"

Delise was confused. She didn't understand what the "dark forest" meant.

"Mr. President, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay"

Besley came back to his senses and smiled at Delise, indicating that it was okay.

"The afternoon press conference will be at 3:15. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be revised in the manuscript?"

"I understand, the manuscript doesn't need to be revised, it's pretty good, but I have to add a few words. Haha, Miss Liz, there is something I need you to arrange. It's a personal request from me."

"Please tell me!"

"Go and call Mr. Yan Shanqing from the cultural and educational organization and ask him for the email address and phone number of the author of "The Three-Body Problem". After you get there, send an email to the author in my name and say that I like his writing very much.

"The Three-Body Problem", if there is an English version of the third part of "The Three-Body Problem", please send it to me."

"ah"

Delise was startled when she heard this and didn't react for a while.

She knew Yan Shanqing, and it was not difficult to make a phone call. She also knew that "The Three-Body Problem" was recommended by Yan Shanqing as one of the top 100 works in this International Youth Literature Competition.

But asking for the original author’s email address and phone number, and sending an email in the name of the president, isn’t this a bit ridiculous?

"What's the matter? Miss Liz? Are you having trouble?"

Seeing that Doris looked wrong, Besley asked aloud.

"No, no, I'll do it later."

After reacting, Delise waved her hands repeatedly. As a secretary, she had to find a way to fulfill the president's personal requests.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Liz. You'd better hurry up. By the way, Miss Liz, you can read the book "The Three-Body Problem" when you are free. It's very good."

What Besley wanted was not "wait a minute" but "right now". He was very anxious.

While speaking, he also pointed to his desk, where there was a white paper, which was "The Three-Body Problem".

"Understood, I will contact you right away! Mr. President, I will take a look."

Delise understood the meaning of the president's words. After she said it, she hurriedly contacted him.

"I hope the author has already written the third part. I don't know what he will write in the third part. I'm really looking forward to it! Haha, I also had something to say at the press conference!"

Besley's eyes looked at the sky outside the window again, with a light in his eyes that outsiders couldn't understand.

But it was said that after Delise left the President's Office, without any delay, she used the White House phone number to call the headquarters of the cultural and educational organization directly, and the call was immediately transferred to Yan Shanqing.

After hearing Delise's request, the old man was also stunned, and it took him a long time to recover.

He left Dai Lisi's phone number, and Yan Shanqing didn't know Chen Tianhong's phone number and email address. Zou Yingde and the others had already returned to China, so he also needed to make a transoceanic call.

When he called again, Yan Shanqing was still confused.

Good guy, the President of the United States wants to urge you to update!

ps: Well, then US President Obama really sent an email to Liu
