Reborn Cultural Empire

So just this point alone, let the employees have more corporate cohesion and centripetal force. Although in the usual jokes, some people always make jokes about the barrenness of the new headquarters, but from the bottom of their hearts, they are all The most determined employee of Yangyi Culture.

"Hey, it's me. It's not time for dinner yet? Why did you call?" The internal call system rang, and Yang Yi picked it up and heard Rogo's voice.

"It's not about eating. Could it be that in your heart, I'm such a foodie with a head full of food?" Boss Fatty's voice pretended to be angry, echoing in the room.

"Then hurry up and say, I still have a job." Yang Yi interrupted him unceremoniously, without any intention of talking nonsense.

"Random House held a writer's pen meeting in Paris, and invited you to participate. I have finished my words, and you decide for yourself. The invitation letter is at the general manager's office, and you can ask my leader to get it." Seeing that the boy is so unwelcoming He, Boss Fat didn't talk nonsense, and hung up the phone immediately in the future.

Random House?Writer's PEN?

Yang Yi couldn't help laughing. Originally, he thought that this kind of exchange activities between literati only existed in China, but now it seems that as long as some ethnic cultures are still in this circle, they cannot escape similar activities.

But to participate, or not to participate?

Now I don't have much free time. Apart from writing every day, I don't even have time to go back to Yuezhou on weekends and go to Ji Tangdan's house for class. The same is true for Su Wan. According to Yang Yi's plan, anyway, Girls also work at home, so it's better to stay in Yuezhou.And there is a mother to take care of life, so you don't have to worry about other miscellaneous trivial issues.But after learning that Yang Yi will stay in Shanghai for a long time.Su Wan didn't listen to anything, and insisted on moving the studio to Shanghai.So on the top floor of the building, the girl and Yang Yi occupied two rooms with the best position and the widest view, one in the northwest corner and the other in the southwest corner.It was also because of this that the girl interrupted the process of learning painting from Shen Songzhi, and once provoked the old man to threaten to kill the magic city and save his closed disciple from a job without creativity and artistic value.

But these words are just words in the end. Like Yang Yi, Su Wan now returns to Yuezhou every weekend to visit her mother.Enjoy the warmth of home, and then go to Shen Songzhi to learn painting.

Therefore, in this case, going to such a meaningless pen meeting by myself is always a bit of getting cold feet, as if throwing all the responsibilities on the girl's shoulders.

After thinking about it, Yang Yi didn't plan to participate.

But when he made this decision, after calling Edward, director of copyright affairs in Asia at Random House, the teenager got it.But it is the opposite suggestion: "Dear Yang, I know you are writing like crazy now, but I still want to say something, if possible. You should try your best to participate in this pen meeting. In fact, if you don't know your career situation When encountering certain difficulties, I will use 'must' to replace the word 'try to', believe me. This is your best chance to show yourself to the entire European literary world. If you miss this salon, then you will It won't be until five years later, and it will be five years later! My God, although your age will be one of your most conspicuous advantages by then, it will definitely not cause such a sensation to participate in now, anyway, You'd better not miss this year's Duchess Azalina Art Salon. I'll stop here for my words, please think about it, okay, my dear friend."

After learning the significance of this European literary gathering from his partner, Yang Yi was caught in a dilemma again.

If it was just an ordinary, even some special literary gathering, he wouldn't be so embarrassed. If he missed this time, there will be another chance, and as long as it is a similar gathering that doesn't have much practical significance, he will do it from the bottom of his heart. Not very interested.But as Edward said, if it is such a profound influence and a traditional literary event that has been handed down from Europe in the thirteenth century, then it would be a pity not to participate.

It's not that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous. For Yang Yi, exporting Chinese culture to the world in a quiet and low-key way is his greatest wish. Personal fame is not a big problem for him at all.

But at this party, apart from making yourself famous, there is another very important thing to do, which is to promote the traditional Chinese culture in front of the whole of Europe.This is the best time to make a name for yourself, but it is also a window to promote Chinese culture to the world.

After much deliberation, the young man finally decided to go after a fierce ideological struggle.

……

In the waiting room of Hongqiao Airport, Yang Yi lowered his head apologetically to the girl who was with him to see him off: "Sorry, I have to keep you busy at home alone, but after I go this time, I will wait until the signing session in the square is over." , and will be right back.”

The girl shook her head, her seemingly deserted face was clearly full of reluctance, but she didn't nod after all, but shook her head at Yang Yi: "No, it's your wish to be well over there."

After getting along for such a long time, even if Su Wan doesn't speak, Yang Yi can still know what she's thinking, not to mention such a long string, which is already a lot of words for a girl.

The boy wanted to say something, but when he heard the urging from the airport broadcast, he swallowed the words in his heart, waved his hand, and then smiled at Rogo: "I'll leave it to you during the few days I'm not here, Roger."

Boss Fat was unrestrained and unrestrained, and waved his hand directly: "Go, stop talking nonsense, and give us Chinese people more face. Isn't there a square to sign for? Tsk tsk, the Arc de Triomphe, a landmark building, if you can Sign a few more Western devils over there, and then I will follow suit."

Yang Yi couldn't comment on Mr. Fatty's lofty ambitions, so he shook his head speechlessly, reincarnated and walked into the boarding aisle.

……

Because Yangyi Culture has just experienced the relocation of its headquarters, it seems to be a little stretched and extremely short-handed in many matters.And because of this.So this trip to Europe, Yang Yi did not bring anyone with him.Instead, he just set off quietly.

After a one-night air journey, Yang Yi landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France.And the first time he came to the waiting passage after getting out of the plane, he saw Edward waiting here.In fact, although he was talking with the beautiful female secretary beside him, his eyes were always locked on the entrance of the passage. After seeing the boy coming, he rushed up like a whirlwind, and he was very enthusiastic. After a hug, Yang Yi could feel the excitement of this high-ranking Chinese.

In fact, it was precisely because of last year's Booker Prize that Edward, who strongly advocated that Random House buy out the overseas distribution rights of "Soil Pimple".From the original position of copyright affairs assistant in the Asian region to the current director of copyright affairs, Yang Yi is nothing less than an angel in his career for this person who has just turned 38 and can be called a young man .

"Let me introduce some. This is my new secretary, Ms. Dado. She will be in charge of all the affairs of your trip to Paris. If you feel any unpleasantness. You must mention it to her, definitely, I My friend!" The tall Gui Lao kept repeating to Yang Yi with a smile all over his face.

"Okay. I see." Regarding the enthusiasm of this foreigner, Yang Yi could only take a break and perfunctory.

The next formation has been clearly arranged.Check into the family castle of the Duchess, and wait for the salon to be held.

"Look. That's the small town of Danfeng, of course. We can also be regarded as the scope of Danfeng small town here, but since the ancestors of the duchess were canonized here by Charles II, we habitually call this castle Modo Va Castle, the name comes from the Spanish word, which means an independent kingdom in the outside world. Imagine one, you are staying in a castle with a history of more than 700 years and the [-]th century AD, not far away is the most beautiful in France By the way, there is one more thing I have to say. Recently, as your Chinese economy has taken off rapidly, many of your compatriots have come here for vacation, and many of them have amazed me. Beautiful lady, if you can have a romantic encounter here, I think it would be perfect, right?"

Ever since Yang Yi moved into this castle, Edward, as his temporary companion, has been instilling French romantic ideas in his ear, but he didn't know that for a boy who is not yet an adult physically, , It's really boring to talk about these topics all the time.

And Yang Yi had to doubt his original motive, whether he wanted to see a romantic encounter, or he wanted to take advantage of his yellow skin and black hair to strike up a conversation with those beautiful girls who flew over from China for vacation.

But no matter what, this castle named Modova is indeed a rare and beautiful scenery. It is different from the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River in Yuezhou. The sky in Europe is not bluer, but it has a refreshing coolness. Looking at the extremely quiet and beautiful scenery, as well as the bright sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, and the white flock of sheep on the green carpet in the distance, Yang Yi's tense mood also got a little relaxation.

"Hey, I have a good idea now, how about we go horseback riding? The castle has the best horses from across the channel, I believe you will like this activity, in the mouth of those uneducated Citi people , Horseback riding is a heroic activity for crazy cowboys, but for us, it’s just a gentleman’s activity to experience nature. Come on, you must try it.” Edward nagged in the boy’s ear for a while, but he didn’t see him He didn't react at all, so he had to pull him out of the room by himself.

Unable to resist the tugging of the tall Edward, Yang was dragged staggeringly to the outside.

Authors who can be invited to participate in this salon have the right to absolute freedom in the castle. The current owner of the castle does not live in it all year round, but has his own properties in various European countries, so before the salon officially starts, The descendant of the duchess, the gentleman who is now the honorary chairman of the Academy of Goncourt, will not appear, and the writers who came earlier will be allowed to enjoy everything here.

When they came to the horse farm outside the castle, there were already people waiting there. Soon, Edward selected two pure black racehorses, and asked the servants of the castle to lead them to Yang Yi. (To be continued..)
