Chapter 339 Like a Little Baby
The audience was very interested in this story, as it was their first exposure to Eastern mythology. Even the athletes and coaches on the stage asked curiously, "Why? What's the basis?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, “Because she imitated my own appearance!
There's no reason for her to suddenly add something to a clay figure that looks like herself when she's making it, right?"
Everyone was laughing so hard, as if they were listening to a talk show.
In the joyful atmosphere, Luo Jiu slowly said: "So I use common sense to infer and understand the existence of women's menstrual period.
As a goddess, Nuwa has a high degree of trust in her own kind. She believes that women can give birth to humans, even if they have to experience bloodshed every month for most of their lives.
Whether in the East or the West, we all believe that the birth of human beings was originally something that only gods could do, and that this is the power of gods.
The reason why Nuwa gave her ability to create humans to women and endowed them with divine functions was that she believed they were strong enough to cope with the various problems and troubles brought about by menstruation or pregnancy.
Including, humiliation like today.
Benjamin."
Being named again, Benjamin felt a pang in his heart.
At this moment, he really hoped that he had fainted, or even if someone came to knock him out, it would be better than standing here in agony, accepting everyone's judgmental gaze.
Luo Jiu smiled and said, “Mr. Benjamin, perhaps what you said makes sense.
A body that bleeds without any attack is indeed fragile. But in those days, women studied, worked, handled housework, participated in production activities, and even participated in the Olympics as usual. This is also powerful, right?
I know you will secretly be glad that you don't have such troubles, you are confident that you are perfect enough. Maybe in your eyes, rudeness is not a shortcoming, who knows.
It doesn’t matter. Anyway, Chen Jing won four gold medals today and broke two world records before he fainted.
I wonder if you can perform better on stage? Can you be like her?
Of course, I mean breaking world records, not fainting.”
Benjamin’s psychological endurance reached its limit. He felt his breathing become very rapid, and when he looked around, he suddenly felt dizzy.
He closed his eyes, fainted and fell to the ground with a bang.
Luo Jiu exclaimed, "Oh God, he fainted before he even entered the pool!"
This dramatic scene was widely reported by many media outlets.
The next day, Luo Jiu met Eder again on the court.
After what happened yesterday, the players, referees and other accompanying personnel at the swimming pool seemed to have become closer to each other.
Chen Jing took a lot of supplements last night and had a good sleep. He is in much better condition today and is ready to compete in several preliminaries of the 200m or 400m events.
While the athletes were getting ready, Edel walked up to Luo Jiu and chatted with him like a friend.
"Have you heard? The incident has become a big deal. All men named Benjamin in the world are being looked down upon."
Luo Jiu smiled, "If I tell you that this is what I expected, would you find it a little scary?"
Edel shrugged. "It doesn't matter. My name isn't Benjamin anyway."
She changed the subject, "But my son is in a terrible situation. He called me half an hour ago and told me that as the only Benjamin in the class, about a dozen classmates stood in front of him this morning and said to him, 'Benjamin, you are a huge flaw.'"
Luo Jiu showed a sympathetic look, "Oh, is he okay?"
Edel shook his head and smiled, "He cried like a baby. He asked me to tell that reporter named Benjamin that he ruined little Benjamin's day."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "This morning, the editor-in-chief of The Guardian called me at the hotel, but I didn't answer."
Edel said, "They must be eager to apologize. You can ask them to fire Benjamin."
Luo Jiu smiled and shook his head, “Those are easy things to do, but what we really need is a change in the situation.
If you offend a great female athlete in such a public way, it will pass quickly. Believe me, there will be a next time."
Edel was surprised and asked, "Then what else can we do?"
Luo Jiu smiled slightly and said confidently: "We don't have to do anything, someone will do it, and it is definitely worth looking forward to."

In this world, on the surface, every country is promoting world peace. If politicians were not afraid that the dove of peace would shit everywhere, they would like to carry it with them at all times and label themselves as peace messengers.
Everyone can say nice things, but in reality? Everyone is full of tricks and wants to kill enemies with whom they have conflicts of interest.
This kind of political game has been going on from ancient times to the present.
After the Benjamin incident broke out, Zhong Jialing asked Luo Jiu: "Should we expand the scope of this matter?"
Luo Jiu replied: "No, our country is too eye-catching now. We have just come out of the mountains, and we must first establish a good image of civilization, openness, advancement and tolerance.
Leave the creation of conflict to others.”
Zhong Jialing was puzzled: "Who will help us?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Have you seen House of Cards?"
Zhong Jialing shook her head.
"Have you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
“I have.”
"Tell me, why was the Sun-Liu alliance established and why did it collapse?"
Zhong Jialing recalled, "It seems to be because Lu Su died."
Luo Jiu shook his head and smiled: "No."
Zhong Jialing asked again: "Is it because Sun Shangxiang went back to her parents' home?"
Luo Jiu said: "Even if Sun Shangxiang didn't go back to her parents' home, and she stayed with Liu Bei and gave him eight or ten sons, the Sun-Liu alliance would still fall apart.
Both Sun and Liu wanted to dominate the world, so how could they stop their efforts to become emperors for the sake of someone?
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.
It has always been like this since ancient times.
Today, these old capitalist countries are also fighting openly and secretly.
Xit is not tall, but his ambition is as high as the sky.
He is ready to launch a second world war. If he has a chance to crush his old rival, do you think he will let it go? "
Zhong Jialing's eyes lit up, "There is a dinner for foreign ministers tonight. I will give them a hint."
Luo Jiu leaned back on the recliner, smiled and held Zhong Jialing's hand, "Minister Zhong, I'll wait for your good news."
The next day, the country's largest newspaper published a front-page headline directly pointing to the Benjamin incident.
News title: "The unwarranted humiliation of Chinese female athletes by British "gentlemen" has caused terrible consequences, and the British side has let it go without any apology"
Wielding the two sharp swords of sexism and racial discrimination, the author severely criticized the British authorities.
He listed the evil deeds of Britain in various parts of the world over the years, and also mentioned that Britain had invaded Hong Kong during the Opium War, accusing Britain of acting recklessly and repeatedly provoking wars around the world. In the name of a gentleman, he did the deeds of a villain.
There is a cartoon below the article. In the cartoon, a demon wearing a top hat points his finger viciously at the fainted female athlete and spits at her, while his dark shadow looms over the swimming pool. The meaning is self-evident.
The article also specifically criticized The Guardian for its lack of remorse and never apologizing, and the British authorities for their inaction.
The editor-in-chief of The Guardian, who saw the newspaper, was upset. Did we not apologize because we did not want to apologize? We called to apologize but could not get anyone to come to us!
British authorities: Can the affairs of a journalist be elevated to this level?
Luo Jiu hoped that this matter would be blown out of proportion. The British media was now overestimating the incident, involving gender and race, and they were just short of saying that the British people had let down all of humanity.
Thanks to the British media's notoriety for stirring up trouble, other countries are adding insult to injury. It's no big deal to watch the fun, and criticizing Benjamin can show one's justice, so why not?
When Feng Qi woke up early in the morning, she heard Luo Jiu and Zhong Jialing talking about an article in a Chinese newspaper. She hurried over to take a look.
"Hey, why doesn't this article mention the Eighth Alliance Army entering the city? Isn't this also one of Yingguo's crimes?"
Luo Jiu chuckled, "Which eight countries are there? The Chinese are not crazy enough to scold themselves. Did you get confused after sleeping? Go wash your face."
Feng Qi stretched and said, "There are only two wrestling promotion matches this afternoon, so I don't need to rush."
Feng Qi took a while to wash his face, and Luo Jiu looked at the newspaper again.
All in all, there are quite a few frictions between our country and Britain.
Hong Kong was forcibly taken back after a battle with the British Army when the country was liberated last year.
Now the British authorities are deliberately treating us coldly and refusing to establish diplomatic relations. This is probably the reason.
But Luo Jiu thought, "We don't need to indulge them. If we want to settle old scores, they should pay us back first."
Zhong Jialing said: "How about we just ask them for it?"
Luo Jiu shook his head, "They won't give it to us. I think we can be more direct and take it back ourselves. Then we can take their gold and silver away.
Don’t the Ying people think they are rich and disdain to engage in foreign trade with us? Do you think they will still look down on us after they become paupers? "
Zhong Jialing couldn't help but rub her hands in excitement after hearing this. "Who should do it? When should it start?"
