Chapter 65 Who is going to run away? When the embassy received the call...
The embassy was also confused when they received the call. If Jin Ru didn’t know, how could they not know?
Li Daohua is famous both at home and abroad. They know that the rice flower abroad is Li Daohua.
But no one expected that Li Daohua would quietly come to America and win the Nebula Award.
That shouldn't be the case. Judging from her previous reports, she doesn't seem to be planning to join America.
If the kind of speech made in China were put in a "free" city like America, the person would probably be scolded to death.
Not necessarily. She has portrayed America in a very negative light in her novels. From "Billions" to "The Walking Dead", America in each of them is never a good person.
As a result, these novels are quite popular in America. Could it be that America has some special hobbies?
Those who like to sing praises and want to use this to get into America, not only do their books get looked down upon, they themselves are also scolded unbelievably. This is the gap.
However, Li Daohua's secret visit to America is indeed no small matter. If she really stayed in America, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the country.
Apart from Li Daohua's own ability in the field of literature, America used her to promote America's freedom and strength internationally, while at the same time smearing China, and then put on a show for the sheepdogs raised remotely to create chaos in China...
In short, the subsequent series of impacts are the most serious.
The award ceremony had ended, and they would not be able to see what Li Daohua said at the ceremony in a short time, so they could only go to find Li Daohua as soon as possible.
Fortunately, when Jin Ru called, she told them which hotel Li Daohua was staying in.
When they arrived, Li Daohua had just finished taking a shower and was preparing to go out for dinner.
Ian had originally intended to take her to dinner straight after returning from the awards ceremony, and it was indeed time for dinner.
Li Daohua didn't want to do that. She was in so much pain that she couldn't eat unless she took a shower and changed clothes immediately.
The two sides bumped into each other in the hotel lobby.
"Hello, Teacher Daohua. I am Zhao Yi from the Chinese Embassy in the United States."
"Hello, hello, where are you guys coming from?"
"Looking for you."
Ah? I committed a crime? Inexplicably, this sentence emerged in Li Daohua's mind. Of course, she knew that this was impossible, and he must have other important things to find her.
As someone who has been in the business circle for such a long time, Ian is very good at dealing with things. He suggested that everyone eat and chat at the same time. This was what Dennis told him.
Ian thought that their way of discussing things at the dinner table was a good idea, at least much better than America's way of discussing things. You know, some parties are always so shady.
"Yes, yes, let's go and eat."
Zhao Yi also understood what Li Daohua meant. He knew that Li Daohua had just attended the award ceremony and had not eaten yet. It would be bad to stop her and ask her questions at this time.
In a private room of a Chinatown restaurant, after the food was almost served, everyone started to eat.
Li Daohua was almost starving to death. As soon as the meal started, she inhaled the food like crazy. Ouyang Yuan was responsible for helping her pick up the dishes. He knew all the dishes that Li Daohua liked to eat.
Although Daohua is a bit picky about food, she really eats when she's at home. When she's at home, she also follows Li Sanzhu in exercising and doing boxing.
After doing a set in winter, you will feel warm all over and won’t be too cold all day.
Seeing that Li Daohua was so hungry, Zhao Yi did not speak. He simply ate a few bites. It was not until Li Daohua slowed down her eating speed that Zhao Yi tentatively said, "I have seen a lot of Teacher Daohua's works. She is also very famous in America. I don't know what Teacher Daohua is doing in America this time."
"I'm attending an award ceremony. Before I came here, I was just a finalist, and I was worried that I wouldn't win, and everyone's excitement would be in vain. So, I came quietly. If I win, I'll return home in glory. If I don't, I'll just treat it as a trip to America to collect folk songs."
The scenery in America is so beautiful, you can't see it anywhere in the country.
"Oh, now I guess it's a good start."
"Lucky, lucky."
"Teacher Daohua, how was your trip in America these days? I also know some fun and delicious places that I can recommend to you."
Li Daohua thought about the places they had been to in the past few days and said, "It's OK. They're delicious. Besides the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, are there other good Chinese restaurants?"
We need to have three meals a day, and none of them can be missed. This shows how important meals are.
"Actually... the embassy has a dedicated chef."
"Can I eat too?"
"It's no problem to treat you to a few meals."
Li Daohua is so happy, who doesn’t like free meals?
"What does Teacher Inaka think of America?"
"That's about it. I think a lot of Americans are not friendly. They look at me in such a way."
Zhao Yi nodded. He could understand that a weak country has no diplomacy, and people like them could understand this statement best.
In particular, the American government has been smearing China. In the absence of well-developed information, people's thoughts can be easily manipulated by public media.
When Zhao Yi heard her say that Americans are unfriendly, he already felt that Li Daohua would most likely not immigrate to America.
People who want to immigrate will not think that there is something wrong with the way Americans look at them. They will only think that there is something wrong with themselves or the country that causes them to be looked at that way by Americans.
"When is Teacher Daohua going to return home? If it is inconvenient for you to buy a plane ticket, we can help you. If you have any difficulties here, you can always contact us."
"He should return home as soon as possible. Ouyang can't stay here for long. He still has a lot of work to do."
Zhao Yi understood that there was no need to be on high alert, but he also could not let his guard down. He had to wait until Li Daohua and the others returned home.
The next day, Zhao Yi watched the replay at the embassy and saw the interview in the newspaper.
It must be said that the Americans may not be able to sense the expression and speech of Li Daohua, but Zhao Yi has already seen the strong contempt. I am the boss and I am the queen...
Especially speaking in Chinese on important occasions.
Once upon a time, when the Qing Dynasty was still in existence and was in contact with Western powers, our country's diplomats had tried their best to learn English and put forward their reasonable demands in standard and fluent English.
The result is just a joke. What does this prove? It proves that no matter how good your English is, it is useless if it does not have real ability.
Just like now, Li Daohua speaks very impolitely and in Chinese, but she has still received a lot of praise from the media. Of course, there are also those who belittle her.
Jin Ru also saw the newspaper report and thought, I didn’t expect this girl, who looks quite polite, to speak so aggressively. Young people nowadays…
They had just finished a game and were preparing for the next one. At this critical juncture, he didn't have too much energy to focus on Li Daohua as he had his own tasks.
Li Daohua went to Chinatown to eat again tonight and was recognized by the owner of the restaurant she often went to.
I asked her if she was the rice flower reported on TV and in newspapers, the one who won the award.
"Rice Flower, yes, that's me. My pen name in China is Rice Flower, which translates to Rice Flower."
The boss laughed and thought Li Daohua was quite interesting. After hearing this, he suddenly felt that rice flower also had a rustic flavor.
For them, the rural flavor is not a derogatory term, but a kind of sentiment.
While they were eating, the boss went out and bought an English version of "How to Make a Billionaire". The bookstore here only has the English version, and businessmen still prefer to read this book because the name sounds like it can bring wealth.
The boss wanted to waive the meal expense, but Li Daohua disagreed. The two argued for a long time. Finally, the boss wanted Li Daohua to sign his copy of "Billionaire" as compensation for the meal.
"You are a great writer, and you will definitely become more famous in the future. This is my investment. When you win more awards, I will tell others that you had dinner at my house when you first came to America. This will be a living signboard!"
Finally, Li Daohua could only sign for him, and she signed in Chinese: "You can also tell them that I am Chinese just like you."
“Yes, we are all Chinese.”
Because of the argument with the boss, they came back later than usual. Fortunately, they had a special driver and bodyguards, so they drove home by themselves and everything was safe.
But when I was almost reaching the hotel, I almost bumped into someone rushing out of the green belt.
The driver got out of the car to check the situation and loudly scolded the passers-by. Li Daohua stuck his head out: "Hu Meina?"
Hu Meina didn't panic when the driver scolded her, but she became panicked when Li Daohua saw her.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Hu Meina said as she tried to stand up.
Although the car did not hit her, Hu Meina was frightened and fell, sprained her ankle, and was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up.
"Let's take you to the hospital. It's okay. We'll pay for the medical expenses."
"No, no."
"Then let's take you back. This is still some distance from your hotel, and you can't walk with your injuries like this."
"I said no! Don't you understand? No! No!"
Li Daohua didn't understand why she reacted so strongly, but soon, a boy ran over from a distance, and when Hu Meina saw him, it was like she saw a savior.
The boy looked at them warily, and at Hu Meina's urging, he limped with her into a car.
The license plate number is NB4250. Li Daohua feels that this license plate number is definitely not a number that a Chinese can choose. It is too weird.
Li Daohua subconsciously wrote down the license plate number and then realized that this Hu Meina was going to be an illegal resident.
The main reason was that she had never thought about such a thing, nor had she actually seen such a thing, so she didn't react at first.
"Hurry, don't go back to the hotel yet, go to the hotel in front, I have something to do."
The driver quickly got in the car, took her to the hotel where the tennis team was, and accompanied her into the hotel to look for someone.
In the middle of the night, Jin Ru was awakened by Shen Jianguo: "Hu Meina ran away!"
Jin Ru, who was still a little drowsy, woke up instantly and all sleepiness disappeared.
"Hu Meina ran away! When did she run away?!"
"Just now, Li Daohua said that she almost bumped into Hu Meina on her way back from dinner, and then she saw Hu Meina get into a car with a man."
"Why didn't she stop it?" Jin Ru was anxious now.
