Chapter 405: What to do at the age of ?
"Actually, there's no need to..." Before President Jian finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

"What's the matter, Xiao Gu?" Aunt Fang asked with concern.

"Do you remember the cheese from last time?" President Jian said, "Xiao Gu brought a lot of delicious cheese from Paris again. He said he would bring it to us in a few days."

Last time, Aunt Fang would put a little cheese when frying eggs or making seafood fried rice. Overall, it was like a seasoning that was consumed slowly over time.

"We haven't even finished the cheese we received last time." Aunt Fang laughed, "The child has good intentions, but he is eating too much and is not used to it."

"I wanted to refuse, but before I could finish my words, Xiao Gu had something else to do, so I was interrupted." President Jian said, "After all, it was Xiao Gu's kind gesture."

"Hmm..." Aunt Fang fell into deep thought. If she couldn't finish the good food, it would be a waste of the children's kindness. She was thinking about what dish she should cook to make delicious.

"Let me share with you an inside story that no one else knows." President Jian diverted attention. He knew his wife very well, and she would easily get stuck in a rut. An old couple must know each other inside out.

Is there anyone in the world who can resist gossip and inside information? No one! Aunt Fang pretended to be all ears.

"You know that Xiao Gu's "Who Moved My Cheese" has caused quite a stir in France recently?"

"Uh-huh."

"This work was written by Xiao Gu a few years ago. At that time, it seemed to be called "Who Moved My Rice Cake?"

After these words were spoken, Aunt Fang stopped thinking for two seconds. Why did the whole feeling of the book change with the change of the name?

She said, "So you made the change because you like eating cheese?"

Suddenly, Aunt Fang seemed to remember something and immediately said, "You can't spread it around. The Global Times said that the work was written out of friendship between Gu Luwei and former ambassador to China Dibo. France needs encouragement in the face of economic difficulties."

"Of course not." President Jian added, "No one would believe it even if I told them. Because of the cheese and glutinous rice cake, the former is more legendary."

"Oh, by the way, the cheese that Xiao Gu sent is all good stuff." President Jian said, "We can give it away if we can't finish it."

"How can you give it away? It's Xiao Gu's gift." Aunt Fang rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about the cooking. I can't offer any constructive suggestions anyway."

"Don't think too much about it." President Jian poked Aunt Fang's brow lightly with his finger, as if to smooth out the wrinkles there.

Aunt Fang was very thoughtful and had a lot of ideas when she was young, and was easily emo, but President Jian felt that she was a "Lin Daiyu-like" woman, so no matter how much she got stuck in a rut, President Jian would never tire of guiding her.

What is the most loving thing about middle-aged and elderly couples? The shining points that once made them fall in love with each other are still shining in each other's eyes many years later.

Tonight is still President Jian's overtime time. "From the New World" is about to enter the release period. This time it is truly released simultaneously in China and Japan, so the translation of the Japanese version is also in progress.

And what are the people doing? Packing their suitcases.

Tomorrow I will send the heroine to France.

Gu Lu helped to pack. Gu Jiayu prepared the clothes herself, and he checked the other items several times.

"Brother, you've looked back and forth so many times." Gu Jiayu said with a smile, "Brother, are you reluctant to leave me?"

The person who asks this question must be reluctant.

Gu Lu responded, "You are going abroad for the first time. You are unfamiliar with the place. I am definitely worried. As the ancient poem says, a mother worries when her son is away from home."

“Hahaha, I don’t want a male mother.” Gu Jiayu said with a smile, “Besides, brother, you are very famous in France, who can bully me!”

The two of them maintained an atmosphere of talking and laughing, and neither of them wanted to make the topic of separation too sad, so the laughter seemed like glass and looked pleasing to the eye.

"That's still a little less famous, but I will continue to work hard. Anyway, if you have any small problems, you can go to Mr. Dibo, and if you have big problems, just call me." Gu Lu said, "Also, why did I upgrade from a brother to a big brother?"

"Because my brother is becoming more and more calm and experienced!" Gu Jiayu said, "It must be a compliment anyway."

As for compliments, Gu Lu felt that "brother" sounded better, but it didn't matter.

"Still working harder? Brother, you should leave some room for others. I heard that you are the youngest recipient of some medal." Gu Jiayu even took a screenshot and posted it on his Moments.

Her circle of friends reads: I strive to be able to walk back when it rains at the age of 23, to use a smartphone, and to prepare three meals a day by myself (laughable.JPG)

The screenshot contains a section of netizens’ comments on Gu Lu’s winning the award.

[Yaoyao’s Quest for Immortality: Gu Lu won the highest award in the field of art in France at the age of 23, and I was asking my mother for living expenses at the age of .

Xiaolouxuange: I'm better than you. I'm 1500 years old and just started my internship. I can get an internship certificate and my salary is .

Meng Qiu.Ba: At the age of 23, I wrote books for a certain website and more than a dozen of them failed... Oh!

Li Liping Tianming: You are all better than me. I am 23 years old and still thinking about how to deal with my father when I go back. Damn, why is there no one to make his life miserable when he is so outstanding?
Lee: Let me add to the trouble. Even though Gu Lu is 23 years old and has a successful writing career, he was recommended for both junior high school and high school. He has never experienced the struggle of the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination. He has never fought hard for an exam! In addition, he has been at the top of the list of the richest writers for four or five consecutive years. He certainly doesn't need to do internships and cannot experience the pressure of trying to gain a foothold in society. At the same time, many people confessed to him on the Weiming Forum, and Gu Lu could not feel the progress of evolving from a dog to a wolf warrior. He has too many regrets in his life! ]

After reading the last paragraph, Gu Jiayu laughed her head off, and many netizens felt even more uncomfortable after reading it.

The two chatted and laughed, and Gu Lu took out a notebook, which was the "secret book" of a foreign student, and it was filled with what delicious food and fun things to do in Paris.

As for the heroine, the practice banquet was held the day before, and she went to bed early tonight. The flight was also quite early, and since it was an international flight, she needed to wait for the flight three hours in advance.

The next day, the sun was covered by dark clouds. The sky was gray and gloomy. It was a perfect day for parting.

Those who came to see the heroine off were Gu Lu, Zhou Lin, Gu's father and Meng Xia, Gu's mother and Uncle Xiao. It was a pretty good lineup.

"Yeah." Gu Lu nodded as a greeting to Father and Mother Gu.

Uncle Xiao stood next to Gu's mother, feeling a little awkward. Meng Xia stood next to Gu's father, keeping an eye on the legendary writer who walked out of the small bungalow in the foggy city.

"Remember to let us know you're safe when you get there." Zhou Lin held the heroine's hand.

"Don't worry, my brother has told me the precautions many times." Gu Jiayu suddenly changed the subject and whispered, "Sister Lin, how is your relationship with my brother going? I remember that Sister Lin seems to be studying for a master's degree, right?"

"Feeling..." Zhou Lin wanted to brush it off, but she saw the seriousness in Ms. Gu's dark eyes.

If you think about it carefully, Gulu has been living on his own since high school, and his only relative is his younger sister, who is going abroad to study. This question really shows that he cares a lot about her.

"People with unhappy families are actually very averse to close relationships, so we have to take it slow," Zhou Lin said. "But don't worry, I will always be by your brother's side, and he will get over it."

Zhou Lin added in her heart: We will all get out of this. What does marriage bring to women? What does marriage bring to men? These two contradictory topics are also easy to provoke opposition. It is definitely impossible to start a discussion. To put it another way, when both men and women are dissatisfied with their marriage, then the fruit of love will definitely turn into stones.

No wonder, my brother has money, fame, and many people confess their love to him, but he still has no girlfriend. This may be the reason. Gu Jiayu understood.

Before, she felt that sister Qi Caiwei was more suitable for her brother because sister Lin gave her the impression of being "too opinionated."

Now the female knight has changed her mind. On the one hand, Qi Caiwei has been away for too long, and the flowers have become cold. On the other hand, companionship is the most lasting confession of love.

There wasn't much to say between Mr. Gu and the heroine. They just gave a few dry instructions and repeated the same old words like "go over there and study hard."

However, Mother Gu and the heroine talked a lot.

Time is a magical medicine. The effects it brings vary depending on the patient’s character.

For some people, time is like a fuel that intensifies the bad memories, making them hotter as time goes by. Zhou Lin is one of these people.

The other type is Gu Jiayu. Time is a forgetting agent. The bad and unhappy things in memory gradually fade away, leaving only good things.

For example, the female knight could not remember clearly what happened when she was living under the Xiao family's roof, but Uncle Xiao was quite nice to her, so she had a very good attitude towards both Mother Gu and Uncle Xiao.

The Capital Airport in the old city is bustling with people and has a large throughput - the Chinese vocabulary is really accurate, whether it is an airport or a high-speed railway, it is like swallowing in and spitting out, and no one pays attention to what is spit out, so Gu Lu and the others are very ordinary at the airport.

Over the past ten minutes——

"It's almost time for ticket checking, Jiayu, you have to be careful." Gu Lu reminded while looking at the time.

"Okay, K." Gu Jiayu suddenly uttered a catchphrase that she hadn't used for a long time and walked forward dragging her suitcase.

It was true that it was her first time traveling abroad, but it was not her first time on a plane, so the heroine was not very panicked.

The sound of the suitcases filled her ears. She thought she would cry, but Gu Jiayu found that she was not sad.

Have you ever played a little game? Rectangular wooden strips are irregularly built into a tower. Draw a wooden strip in turn, and the one who causes the wooden tower to collapse after the strip is the loser. The emotion when Gu Jiayu turned around and dragged the luggage away was the emotion of drawing wooden strips. I don't know when I burst into tears.

"Praise——"

The people in the departure hall no longer had any ties between them, and their relationship fell apart. Because of the bond, Gu Jiayu left.

"Zhou Lin, let's go." Gu Lu said softly to Zhou Lin.

"This is your classmate, why don't you introduce him to us?" a male voice said.

Then the sound continued, and the male voice was getting closer and closer.

"How have you been lately?" Father Gu came over and asked.

Gu Lu was silent for a moment before responding, "I'm not doing well. Can you help me? If not, there's no point in asking for help."

"No, your father is just concerned about you because he hasn't seen you for a long time." Meng Xia said, "After all, it's hard to be alone outside. You must not be used to the food in Beijing."

"You still talk the same way as you did back then, sharp-tongued." Father Gu said in an unfriendly tone, "Come back home when you have time. You haven't been home for the New Year in a few years."

It was obvious that Father Gu had completely forgotten his original taciturn self and only remembered the child who fought back after gaining his foothold.

"Yes, your younger brother Xiaobao really admires you as his brother. When he has time, he will..." Meng Xia was interrupted by another female voice before she could finish her words.

"What brother? Do you know him? Have you met him? What brother?" Gu's mother said bluntly, "If you want to talk about younger brother, Xiao Yang is the younger brother. At least I have met him. Our Yangyang and Jiajia have a very good relationship, and the relationship between these three brothers is also very good."

Xiao Yang and Gu Lu had only met once, and Gu Lu couldn't even remember when it was.

Meng Xia, who had always been smiling, suddenly changed her expression. She said, "Little Gu's previous guardian was also our old Gu, and I also heard that you took our daughter away and didn't want this son. Why are you so positive now?"

"Haha..." Gu's mother also became confident.

Sure, it’s a dog-eat-dog situation. He knew what the two were going to do. Gu Lu had already consulted a lawyer and was not afraid at all.

He directly led the girl with super strength away.

Hearing the unfamiliar voice behind him again, Gu Lu did not stop.

On the way back, it kept raining and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"A famous writer once said: There is no problem that cannot be solved by a hotpot meal. If there is, then have two meals. Let's go, I'll treat you to hotpot." Zhou Lin suddenly said in the car.

He told Zhou Lin this when he was in high school.

"Walk."

The two went to a hot pot restaurant.

What is suffering and happiness? Yao Xiaoju is the author of the book market in Singapore, Malaysia and France.

"The company has to expand further, otherwise it won't be able to keep up with Brother Gu's pace of development." Yao Xiaoju quickly made arrangements.

The French version of The Little Prince, as well as the Malay versions of Yesterday's Park and The Wandering Earth must be included.

When translating books, one must consider the local literary atmosphere. France is very strong in the field of fables and fairy tales. La Fontaine's The Peasant and the Snake and The Tortoise and the Hare are very famous, and are one of the three great monuments in the fable world. Charles Perrault is even known as the father of Western fairy tales. Therefore, The Little Prince has a market.

The current Malay literary scene is greatly influenced by the "Fifties School", so it is particularly receptive to short stories.

As for Singapore, there is no particularly specific atmosphere. Yao Xiaoju feels that he can push all the works that currently have English versions online to see the effect.

"It's getting better, it's really getting better." Yao Xiaoju feels that with Gu Lu's return this year, the revenue can be multiplied several times.

Before the translation was even completed, a South Korean company came to purchase the copyright.

"Want to buy the film and television rights to "The Devotion of Suspect X"? The rights for the whole of Asia - sorry, we don't sell copyrights in packages like this," Yao Xiaoju responded.
