"That's great! Thank you, Mom!" Liu Rumeng hugged Guo Linxian happily. "I thank you on behalf of Xiao Linsheng! He would be so happy if he knew you were willing to help."
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Guo Linxian smiled. "Quickly put all the manuscripts away. Let's go to the study now and start translating as soon as possible. Let's finish as soon as possible so as not to delay his trip to England."
Liu Rumeng nodded and immediately collected all the manuscript papers that had been scattered in the hands of the younger generation.
Seeing this, the younger generation all showed expressions of disappointment.
"Oh? Mom, you're going to translate it now? We haven't finished reading it yet!" Aaron Kwok said with a reluctant expression.
“Yes, Auntie, Sister Mengmeng, we just saw that Harry Potter is going to Hogwarts. What exciting things are going to happen next?” Guo Jingan tugged at Liu Rumeng’s clothes and asked coquettishly.
"We'll show it to you after we finish translating it. Time is tight right now, we have to finish translating it first. Kobayashi is going to take it to England, this is a big deal."
Liu Rumeng shook her head and explained.
"All right."
Although the younger generation was quite reluctant and unwilling, they knew the importance of the matter and could only helplessly watch as the two led the manuscript into the study.
"But seriously, Kobayashi-sensei, this future brother-in-law, is just too amazing!"
Aaron Kwok couldn't help but exclaim, "Not only is he good at business, but he can also write such a wonderful novel. He's simply an all-around genius!"
It has to be said that among the younger generation of the Guo family, Lin Tianwang, the brother-in-law, is quite influential.
Ever since Xiaolin Tianwang and Liu Rumeng officially confirmed their relationship, they have become much more confident at school, eager to let the whole world know that their brother-in-law is Xiaolin Sheng.
"Yes, yes, I used to think that my brother-in-law was just a businessman who knew how to make money, but I didn't expect him to be so talented."
Guo Jingzhu echoed, "This Harry Potter series is so good, better than any novel I've ever read."
"Once the novel is published in the West, my brother-in-law will definitely become even more famous!"
Aaron Kwok said with an admiring look, "At that time, our Kwok family will also benefit from it."
In the living room, the younger generation discussed the plot of "Harry Potter" one after another, praising Lin Huowang's talent, and eagerly looking forward to seeing the next installment.
In the study, Guo Linxian and Liu Rumeng had already sat down and opened their manuscripts and dictionaries.
Under the lamplight, the mother and daughter lowered their heads, first assigning tasks and dividing responsibilities, and then began translating very seriously, occasionally discussing word choice and sentence structure, entering a tense state of rushing to finish the manuscript.
As Guo Linxian translated, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Lin Huowang, this farmer's son from Northeast China, has truly given her so many surprises.
From an unknown farmer in Northeast China to a nationally renowned poet and writer, then suddenly becoming a business tycoon after arriving in Hong Kong, and now writing such a wonderful English novel.
His future is truly limitless.
She increasingly felt that her daughter, Liu Rumeng, had better judgment than she did; she hadn't misjudged him, and Lin Huowang was indeed someone she could entrust her life to.
The mother and daughter were so engrossed in their translation work that they didn't realize how deep the night had become, but the light in the study remained bright.
Neither of them showed any sign of wanting to sleep. The mother and daughter both hoped to translate this wonderful novel as soon as possible and let it shine in the Western world.
Meanwhile, in Japan, the autumn colors are in full bloom in November.
In the editorial office of "Literary World," a well-known serialized magazine in Tokyo, the editor-in-chief looked at the two novel manuscripts in his hands, his face full of excitement.
One is called "The Wound," and the other is called "Bright Sword." The author is "Hai Zi."
"This Hai Zi is truly a genius! His poems 'Facing the Sea, With Spring Blossoms' and 'A Generation' have been popular in the Japanese poetry scene for so long, but I never expected that his novels would be so good as well!"
The editor-in-chief couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yes!
Since more than half a year ago, when Lin Huowang, using the pen name Hai Zi, published the poems "Facing the Sea, with Spring Blossoms" and "A Generation" in several major Japanese poetry journals, he has almost established his position in the Japanese poetry and literary circles.
Hai Zi is a pen name that is known to everyone in the Japanese literary world.
The editor beside him nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, 'The Wounded' is so moving, depicting the human struggle during that special period. 'Bright Sword' is even more brilliant, telling a thrilling and exciting story from the War of Resistance Against Japan, with incredibly vivid characters. At the same time, it allowed me to confront the true face of that war from a Chinese perspective more thoroughly..."
"Hurry up and format it, the next installment will start the series!"
The editor-in-chief nodded, and then immediately made a decision: "In addition, as agreed with Ms. Keiko Kobayashi, we will reveal Hai Zi's true identity as a Chinese person."
The editor hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Editor-in-chief, are we really going to announce this? The entire Japanese literary world has been claiming that Hai Zi is a rising Japanese poet. If we suddenly say he's Chinese, won't it cause a stir in the literary world and alienate ordinary readers?"
"This is exactly what Ms. Keiko Kobayashi requested. Moreover, this is big news and will definitely attract more readers. The fact that a Chinese person can write such good poems and novels is itself a highlight."
The editor-in-chief said without any concern.
