After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 353 Proverbs and Idioms

Everyone says that a foreign country is good, but they don’t know that everyone does not want to grow old in another country, because even if there is a new month in a foreign country, there will be a light on the mountain, and the fish in the pond will think of the old deep, and the birds will love the old forest.
Chen Tianhong is a person with a strong sense of national pride. Even when he was an ordinary citizen in his previous life, he still firmly remembered his declaration under the national flag.

"How fortunate we are, born in China, born under the red flag, and growing in the spring breeze. The people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope. All eyes are on China, and the five stars shining are all faith. I hope that with our youth, Defend the prosperous China!"

So when Pearson euphemistically asked the metaphorical sentence, he refused without thinking.

Not to mention joining the nobles of England, even if you give him a king, you may not be willing to do it, because joining them means changing your nationality, which is equivalent to "treason", betraying your ancestors, but any good patriotic young man will not do such things.

Now Chen Tianhong finally understands why Pearson only invited himself and didn't call Jin Zhongrui anymore. If he didn't say anything, if Mr. Jin was here, he would probably just walk away. We must know that the older generation valued the word "country" more.

Pearson didn't expect that he hadn't gotten to the point yet, and just a hint would provoke such a big reaction from Chen Tianhong. He stroked his beard and laughed twice.

"Hehe, Hongwen! Let's drink tea first, let's talk slowly, what kind of tea do you want to drink? How about black tea?"

Chen Tianhong continued with puns: "President, goodbye, I'm not used to drinking black tea from England, do you have green tea? Clear tea is also fine."

Pearson stuttered for a moment, he could understand, who doesn't know that green tea belongs to China's national tea, but still rang the housekeeper's bell and asked Derek to prepare green tea.

While waiting for tea, Pearson did not continue the topic just now, but instead chatted about the work "A Study in Scarlet", and asked about the setting of Sherlock Holmes' follow-up plot just like Jin Zhongrui and others.

Regarding this, Chen Tianhong did not intend to hide it. He briefly mentioned a few more classic case settings of Sherlock Holmes, and Pearson nodded repeatedly after listening to it, which also made him think again.

The tea had already been served, and Chen Tianhong drank two cups because he talked too much.

Pearson took a sip of the tea, the astringent taste made him frown.

"Hehe, this green tea is indeed different from black tea, Tianhong! Don't you think black tea is sweeter?"

Hearing this, Chen Tianhong took a deep look at Pearson, the old man went around and back again.

He picked up his own cup of green tea, shook it slightly so that Pearson could see the green tea in the cup, and then took a sip with a satisfied smile on his face.

"President, tasting green tea is different from black tea. Black tea has been fermented, and the effect of dissolving in water is not good, so it tastes delicious and sweet, while the aromatic oil in green tea has not been volatilized, so the first taste is a bit astringent. , but it retains the fragrance of the tea itself, you don't feel that after drinking it, the fragrance will remain on your mouth and mouth!"

When Chen Tianhong said this, Pearson really felt a fragrance reverberating in his mouth, and then he heard the second half of the sentence.

"Actually! Black tea is as good as black tea, and green tea has the characteristics of green tea. I don't think you need to change your favorite tea, President. You drink your black tea, and I drink my green tea!"

Immediately, Pearson couldn't feel the fragrance anymore, and his words were blocked again. The meaning is obvious. Everyone has their own beliefs and their own way of life. You can buy me tea, but don't think about changing my principles. .

There was a brief silence in the study room. Pierson looked at Chen Tianhong who was sipping tea, and decided to proceed in another way.

"Hongwen! Last time you called and said you wanted to ask me a lot of questions, why didn't you ask me when you got here today?"

"Cough cough."

The sudden turning point made Chen Tianhong choke on the tea, and complained in his heart.

Damn, can you blame me for this, it's you who keep giving me twists and turns, I've been answering your questions all the time!
Okay, since you ask me, I'm not going to be polite.

"President, what I want to ask most is why you treat me like this... well, treat me like this"

Chen Tianhong originally wanted to say why he valued him so much, but he felt that this was inappropriate, so he changed the word to a more subtle one. The word "to be" has many meanings.

For example, two days ago, he sent a driver and a luxury car, and used the relationship of the police station to help him deal with the matter, and today he wanted him to join England, so he prepared a grand scene for the nobleman. title
It's not that Chen Tianhong underestimated himself, but that he really passed it.

The first question Pearson heard turned out to be this, he smiled, why, shouldn't it be treated like this for a genius?
There are some things he can't say clearly. Pearson is not only doing this for England, but also for himself and his family.

Although the current England is a constitutional monarchy, according to the constitution, the king is the hereditary head of state and the person with the greatest power in the country. Even today, the monarchy's privileges are still very extensive.

However, unlike ancient times, it is not the monarch himself who exercises these powers, but the prime minister, cabinet, ministers, and governors of various territories authorized by him.

The monarch is really as Chen Tianhong thought, only the symbolic and ceremonial things are left. Even the canonization of nobles and the conferment of honorary titles are actually predetermined in private. The monarch just signs it and has no right to change it.

Almost all of these actual power holders belong to various parties and the aristocratic class, and the financial groups behind the parties also have the shadow of the nobility. Of course, there is still democracy, but the influence of capital power is greater.

There is naturally a competitive relationship between the party and the noble consortium. This competition is reflected in various aspects. Among them, literature and reputation are also very important. After all, the pursuit of cultural spirit is the mainstream of this world.

The real aristocrats are different from those "nobles" who only know luxury and lust on the surface. They attach great importance to their own cultural education. For example, Pearson was vigorously cultivated by his family since he was a child. He lived up to expectations and enjoyed a high reputation in the field of international detective novels. One of the cultural heritage.

The reason why Pearson attaches so much importance to Chen Tianhong is that he has discovered his talent and valued his potential. I believe that anyone who has read Chen Tianhong's materials will know that if nothing happens, he will become a literary master, or even a literary giant.

If you want him to join England, join his family's camp, and pay some material things, what's the point?

People like Pearson have piercing eyes, and their ability to calculate the pros and cons is also top-notch.

Of course he knew that the difficulty of this matter was not small, but! "Price" can be negotiated, as long as Chen Tianhong expresses his intention, he can help with other matters, even using diplomatic relations to negotiate.

The only miscalculation was that he didn't expect Chen Tianhong to be so determined, and he didn't even have a chance to name other bargaining chips, so he had no choice but to switch methods.

"Hehe, it's nothing! I would do the same to any promising young man!"

Pearson replied.

"Eh, because of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "A Study in Scarlet"?"

"Yes, but not all. Your other works are also very good! Hongwen! I sincerely hope that you can think about it carefully. If you have any concerns, you can talk about it! You can ask for anything!"

Pearson couldn't bear it anymore, and he planned to talk about it in the open.

"President, I heard that William and the others call you Lord Marquis. I wonder if it would be convenient to tell your story?"

Chen Tianhong didn't immediately refuse this time, he also planned to change the way, of course, he was really curious.

"Can."

Pearson thought for a while, and began to tell his story, his literary journey, and talked a lot. Except for some secret things, he could say almost everything, and he also talked about the strength of the family in England.

Chen Tianhong ate snacks (sorry for calling it popcorn). The story of Pearson is quite legendary. It is a history of inspiration and struggle of a "rich boy".

"President, I admire you very much. You are very powerful, but ah! I also want to ask a question. If there were other countries who wanted you to develop with them when you were as old as me, and promised There are many generous conditions, will you go?"

"Of course not. I am a member of the great Mark family in England. How could it be... er."

Pearson replied without thinking, and realized something was wrong while talking, there is something in these words!
He looked at Chen Tianhong, and found that this man was looking at him with deep meaning. The look on his face reminded Pierson of an old proverb in Huaxia, do not do to others what you don't want done to you!
yes!Why force others to do what you can't do yourself?

Pearson smiled wryly in his heart, and he had more respect for Chen Tianhong. Anyone who loves his country deserves respect.

At the same time, he also sighed, this young man looks young, and his emotional intelligence is really not low!The speech is also very level and meaningful.

But it's impossible for Pearson to give up the idea completely. This time it won't work, so we can find another chance!
After that, they tacitly didn't bring up this topic, and started talking about other things.

During the chat, a question from Pearson almost scared Chen Tianhong out of his mind.

His question is, Hongwen, I am very curious about what happened in your year that made you change so much.

Chen Tianhong was in a daze for a long time, he even thought that his secret had been discovered and he was about to be arrested for research.
Fortunately, Pearson was just purely curious and had no other ideas. Chen Tianhong used an idiom to prevaricate it smoothly.

That idiom is called "thick accumulation, thin hair"!
It means that he was accumulating before and then started to explode.

In this regard, Pearson's understanding is that Chen Tianhong is being modest, and a more appropriate idiom should be "a genius of the world"!
After skipping this topic, the rest of the conversation was happy. In the end, the two of them talked about cars, and they talked about the Rolls-Texes, the ultimate collector's edition.

They chatted like this until afternoon tea time, before Chen Tianhong got up to say goodbye, he won't be having dinner here, he and Yifei, teacher Cao Xingkui, Jin Zhongrui and the others made an appointment to go out for a big meal.

Cao Xingkui and Jin Zhongrui are going back to China tomorrow, and there are still many things waiting, so Tang Qianqian will go back with them.

There are three reasons for going back. First, because of the "Addison" incident, she lost her favor with the city of London, and second, she didn't want to stay and work as a light bulb.

Thirdly, there is a boy in the country who is waiting for her to go back. This boy is not as handsome as "Addison". The most important thing is sincerity, so she plans to go back early.

"I told William that he will accompany you throughout the few days in London, don't refuse! I am your president, it should be arranged, and don't forget our agreement, write Sherlock Holmes well. , if the quality of the follow-up case is not low "Study in Scarlet", I will give you that Rolls-Teze."

Sending Chen Tianhong to the door, Pearson didn't change his attitude just because he didn't talk well today, he was still enthusiastic.

"Okay, then thank you, President."

Chen Tianhong accepted Pearson's kindness. It is indeed convenient and safe to have William around.

And he was still thanking Pearson for his generosity, thanking him for his Rolls-Tex, which Chen Tianhong couldn't refuse, there was no way, that car was too tempting.

However, Chinese people pay attention to reciprocity, so Chen Tianhong planned to write one or two cases of Sherlock Holmes during his visit, and then send it to Pearson as his return gift.

After making up his mind to pay attention, Chen Tianhong suddenly remembered the interesting things about "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" in his previous life, so he asked again before getting into the car.

"President, when we confer titles in England, will we confer them on virtual characters?"

"A virtual character? What do you mean?"

Pearson didn't understand.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, President, I'm leaving!"

Chen Tianhong didn't elaborate, he just had a flash of inspiration.

Looking at the car going away, Pearson suddenly understood something.

"What this kid means is that he wants to give Holmes a title for me, right? You dare to think too much, you really think our English title is so easy to get!"

"However, if you really make it an unsurpassable classic among detective novels, and make the whole world remember Sherlock Holmes and this famous detective with English nationality, then it's not impossible for me to apply for it."

Not to mention what Pearson thought and what plans he would make in the future, Chen Tianhong returned to the hotel at Williams' steady driving speed.

"Mr. William, thank you! I will trouble you in the next few days."

"Sure, Mr. Chen, I'll be there on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Williams' attitude was more polite than the previous two days.

"William is very good, or add a size, and when Pearson delivers the car, he will also come over by the way."

After Chen Tianhong waved Williams away, he was thinking in his mind.

Of course, just think about it, it depends on Williams' own attitude.

When Chen Tianhong returned to the room, he just opened the door when he heard Liu Yifei talking to someone on the phone.

"Sorry! I can't go back these days, Tianhong"

As soon as she said the word "celestica," the phone fell silent.

"Yi Fei, what's the matter? Who's calling?"

"Ah, Tianhong, you are back! No one, Director Liu, isn't "Dragon Babu" officially released tomorrow! He asked me when I would go back, and said that there was a promotion that I needed to cooperate with."

Seeing Chen Tianhong, Liu Yifei ran over in surprise and stretched out her hands, gave her a loving hug, and at the same time told the people and things she was talking to.

"Director Liu, Liu Jianjun! That's right, I almost forgot, tomorrow is October [-]st"
