Chapter 275 Neither humble nor arrogant, the true nature of a man

"Cousin, what do you mean? How does a liar know about "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Mingming heard Chen Tianhong muttering to himself, but she was confused and didn't understand what her cousin meant.

At the same time, she re-read the title of the novel written by her cousin in her mind and made sure that she had never heard of "The Three-Body Problem".

It’s not her fault. The Writers Association has not announced the entries for the Youth Literature Competition. Even though the cultural and educational organization has already evaluated the top 100 list, it is still waiting for the final evaluation before publishing the article. Therefore, people in China who know "The Three-Body Problem" do not

many.

If Chen Tianhong didn't reply to his cousin, he himself wouldn't be sure now.

When Liu Cixin was writing the last part of "The Three-Body Problem" in his previous life, he did receive an email from the White House. At that time, he also deleted it as a spam message. Only after receiving a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did he find out that the email was genuine and that it was from Australia and Pakistan.

The horse is urging the update.

All "Three-Body" fans know this interesting fact, and naturally Chen Tianhong also knows it.

But that was in the previous life!

And by that time, "The Three-Body Problem" had already been sold overseas, so it was not surprising that Obama could see this book.

In this world, "Three-Body" has not been officially sold at all. Could it be that cultural and educational organizations have already selected the results?

It shouldn’t be, the time is still a few days away, and I haven’t received a notification yet!

Chen Tianhong fell into confusion

He didn't know about the release of the top 100 list. Zou Yingde had just returned to China two days ago and was still suffering from jet lag, so he was not informed.

Moreover, in Zou Yingde's opinion, it is natural for "Three Body" to be included in the top 100 list, and it is not worth making a fuss about. He is also waiting for the final result.

News has come out that President Besley went to a cultural and educational organization, and there were clips about talking about his works during the period, but that was in the United States, and domestic news stations have not reported it yet.

"Cousin? Cousin?"

Seeing that her cousin was in a daze, Mingming stretched out her white and tender hands and shook them on Chen Tianhong's face.

"Uh, what's wrong, Mingming?"

Chen Tianhong was still in a daze.

"Oh, are you listening carefully to what I'm saying? I'll ask my cousin again what you mean by what you just said, and what is "The Three-Body Problem"?"

"Oh, I'm wondering if this text message might be true. "The Three-Body Problem" is my work for the International Youth Literature Competition."

"Haha, how could it be true? Cousin, don't be ridiculous. I know you are very famous in the country, but it's not like even the White House knows your name."

Mingming hadn't answered yet, and her cousin seemed to have heard some joke, and his facial features were almost deformed when he laughed.

Of course, this smile was not meant to be ridiculing. He thought Chen Tianhong was joking with him again.

"Cousin, "The Three-Body Problem" is the science fiction novel you told me about some time ago, right? What a strange name, Three-Body Problem."

Mingming didn't think her cousin was joking. Instead, she became very curious about the title of "The Three-Body Problem".

"Tianhong, you are obviously going to lose this game!"

The uncle came over after hearing the laughter. He looked at the chessboard and told his prediction.

"This kid is just a bad chess player. It would be weird if he doesn't lose."

Dad Chen Zhide also came over and revealed the essence of his son in one sentence.

"You and I don't both lose when we play chess."

Grandpa, who had been paying attention to the chessboard, spoke, and he spoke out about his son and son-in-law. His intention to protect his grandson was very obvious.

The uncle and Chen Zhide looked at each other and did not answer the old man's words. In fact, their chess skills were not bad, especially Chen Zhide's, but who would refute the old man's words after the Chinese New Year?

So the uncle touched his nose and changed the topic.

"What are you talking about and having so much fun talking about?"

"Dad, Tianhong just received a text message from abroad, or from the White House. Tianhong joked that this text message might be true."

"Yeah, it's indeed a joke."

The uncle nodded, agreeing with his son's statement.

Chen Zhide glanced at his son and said nothing to refute, and even his grandfather didn't say anything else.

They have the same idea. Their sons (grandsons, nephews) are very good, but they are not even known to the White House, the highest capital of the United States!

"What's wrong with the White House? My cousin is so powerful, why is it strange for foreigners to know him?"

Mingming snorted, she was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the adults and her eldest cousin towards Chen Tianhong.

For her, Chen Tianhong is the most powerful writer in the world. Not to mention the president's secretary, it is not surprising that the president of the United States knows his cousin's name.

Seeing Mingming acting like a little girl, the uncle and the others couldn't help but smile and smiled, but didn't care.

At this time, on the other side of the ocean, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the White House and the President's Office were still bright.

Besley signed his name on a document and breathed a sigh of relief. Today's work is almost done and he can rest.

But before taking a break, there was one more thing he needed to ask, so he pressed the bell that led directly to the secretary's office.

Soon, Delise came to him.

"Miss Liz, these documents have been signed and can be arranged."

"Okay, Mr. President."

Delis was relieved to hear that it was about work. She stepped forward and picked up the pile of documents. When she was about to leave, Besley's words made her tremble.

"Miss Liz, have you received a reply to the email?"

"Mr. President, not yet. I also sent a text message to Mr. Hongwen. How about... How about I call him directly?"

Delise couldn't resist anymore and urged her three times that day. She already understood that if she didn't help the president get this matter done today, she might not be able to sleep well.

Baisley didn't say anything after hearing this. According to Western thinking, urging is a very serious matter. Sending an email is a sign of respect for the author. It is more formal. Making a phone call is too presumptuous.

But he was really anxious and wanted to know the follow-up plot progress, so he acquiesced.

Seeing that the president had no intention of stopping him, Delise took out her mobile phone and pressed the dial button.

Even for transoceanic calls, the delay is not long, only one or two seconds, and the sound of "beep." is heard from the other side of the phone as it is about to be connected.

But after two beeps, the hang-up busy signal appeared, and then there was a "sorry"

Besley coughed twice.

"Mr. President, I want to ask Mr. Yan about the situation."

After Delise heard the coughing sound, she immediately called Yan Shanqing.

Besley: "."

In fact, he coughed because he wanted to ease the embarrassment of not getting through. He didn't mean to ask Delise to call Yan Shanqing. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. No matter how anxious he was, he knew that it was very impolite to call so late.

.

Yan Shanqing, who was woken up here, looked at the familiar number on the screen of his mobile phone, his beard curling up in anger.

He found that Delise's phone calls were like some kind of flu, and it was never ending!

"Hey, Miss Delise, it's so late, is there anything else you can do?"

Yan Shanqing added an accent to the word "wan".

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Hongwen didn't reply to the email. Do you want to call me and ask?"

Delise heard the accent, but she could only speak bravely.

Yan Shanqing was speechless, completely speechless!

He is very angry now, not only towards Dai Lisi, but also towards Chen Tianhong.

You kid is too arrogant. The president even sent you an email personally, but you didn't even reply. Young and frivolous people should have some control over it.

However, Yan Shanqing forgot that when he called Zou Yingde, he just said something in a scribble without a detailed explanation. Zou Yingde did not dare to be sure of the accuracy of the news, and did not tell Chen Tianhong.

After all, according to normal people's thinking, who would believe that the president of a country would use the power of the country to find an "unknown (internationally)" author to urge an update.

"Mr. Yan, I am in the President's Office now and Mr. President is still waiting."

After hearing no sound from the phone for a long time, Delise had no choice but to move Besley out.

"Miss Elise, please wait a moment, I will call you back later."

Hearing that the president was still waiting, Yan Shanqing stopped sulking and called Chen Tianhong directly.

But I forgot something. His number was dialed and it was an unknown number from overseas. So, the result was the same as Delise's, and the phone got a busy signal.

"This kid! You won't even answer my phone calls. I'll kick your ass when I get back to China."

Then, I called Zou Yingde and the call was answered this time.

In fact, Zou Yingde has been waiting for his call.

"Hey, Mr. Yan, why does the president of the United States need Tianhong's phone number and email address?"

"What else can you do? Send an email to urge that guy to write the third part. Lao Zou, Lao Cao's apprentice is too arrogant. The president won't reply to emails he sent to him, and I won't answer my phone calls to him."

Yan Shanqing's tone was very unkind, and the words he spat out were almost irritating.

Zou Yingde fell silent. Putting aside Yan Shanqing's tone, the news was confirmed. The President of the United States really wanted it, and he had to send an email to remind him of the update.

Good guy!

As a result, his city also shouted loudly in his heart.

Now it’s great!

It seems that he is the only one in the country who can personally send an email to the president of a country to urge the update. Not even Chairman Zhu Yanlin has done so.

After being shocked, Zou Yingde whispered again.

"Old Yan, Tianhong may not know about this. You also know that today is New Year's Eve. He may be busy and not in front of the computer. Also, he doesn't know your mobile phone number. Maybe. Maybe"

Yan Shanqing finally reacted.

That's right, the kid doesn't know about this, so it's normal for him not to answer calls from overseas.

Thinking of this, his tone slowed down.

"Lao Zou, why don't you call Tianhong and ask him to reply to the email no matter what, the president is still waiting and hasn't replied, it's so rude!"

“Good guy”

Zou Yingde shouted directly this time.

"Mr. Yan, I'll call him right away."

"Hey, Lao Zou, give me a reply after you get through it, and also ask about the third part."

"Dudu"

Phone busy signal

"Don't tell me, this scammer is quite persistent. He just sent a text message and made two calls in a row. Haha, when we at Tianhong are so easy to deceive, which idiot would answer a call from an unknown country?"

The cousin took Chen Tianhong's mobile phone and said with disdain.

His father and Chen Zhide all nodded in agreement. Only Mingming bared her little tiger teeth and wanted to take the phone back and give it back to Chen Tianhong.

When the first call came, Chen Tianhong wanted to answer it, but his vigilant cousin snatched the phone away and turned it off immediately.

In his words, we must guard against spam calls and do not accept calls from unknown numbers.

Immediately after the second call came, he hung up without any hesitation and even sneered.

Demo, if you change your number, I won’t recognize you as a spam call!

childish!

Until the third call came.

"Hey, here we go again, this is not a scam call. Mr. Zou Tianhong of the Writers Association, it seems to be a call from the Writers Association."

The cousin who was about to hang up saw the note and hurriedly returned the phone to Chen Tianhong. This call must not be delayed.

Chen Tianhong took the phone again and pressed the speakerphone button directly.

"Cianhong, it's me. Don't say anything now. Find a computer and log in to your mailbox to see if there is any email from the White House. If so, reply quickly. Mr. Yan called me and said that the President of the United States is still waiting.

Here’s your reply.”

Zou Yingde spoke very fast on the phone, so fast that no one could hear him completely, but everyone heard the key points.

At one time, all living beings are in a variety of situations.

The cousin's mouth widened in surprise, and the curve could fit a goose egg in. The uncle and Chen Zhide looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.

Mingming was so excited that she jumped on the spot like a little rabbit, and said, "It's true, it's true! I just said that my cousin is very powerful."

The only one who remained calm was my grandfather. He did not speak, his face was expressionless, and he silently took out his old cigarette bag. He had not smoked for a long time, and would only take a few puffs when encountering very important things.

Chen Tianhong seemed to be in a normal expression. Although his heart was turbulent, he was much calmer than his cousin and uncle.

What's there!

Isn’t it just the President of the United States who sent an email urging updates?

Is this as shocking as being reborn?

joke

"Hey, hey Tianhong, are you listening?"

Zou Yingde was still asking.

"Ahem. Okay, Mr. Zou, I'm going to turn on the computer right now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianhong slowly stood up.

At this time, the uncle and the others finally recovered from the shock, and they looked at Chen Tianhong who was not impatient or impatient!

They urged in unison: "Tianhong, hurry up! The president is waiting there."

The sound was so loud that it startled her grandmother, aunt, aunt (my uncle didn't come), and Liu Yanhong who were preparing meals in the kitchen.

"What president, what president?"

Mom Liu Yanhong asked loudly.

"Sister, your son has made a fortune. The Writers Association just called and said that the President of the United States is waiting for his reply to the email."

The uncle's voice was extremely high, never so high before.

Liu Yanhong: "."

Aunt, grandma, aunt: "."

It’s not that they were speechless, they were stunned!

Chen Tianhong still walked to the study in a hurry, his temperament exuded from the inside out.

Neither humble nor arrogant, the true nature of a man!

In the eyes of everyone, this kid is really decent!

In the end, my cousin couldn't stand it anymore, so he took action directly, pushing and pulling Chen Tianhong to the computer, and actively turned on the computer. If he didn't know his cousin's email account and password, he would have done this.

.

Chen Tianhong still typed on the keyboard at normal speed.

Liu Yanhong, who finally reacted, slapped her son on the back of the head with a snap, and Chen Tianhong speeded up.

Email login is successful, click on the inbox.

An email with a "big red" mailing address, title, and content caught everyone's attention.

ps: I didn’t have enough time, so I sent it first.
