Zhao Taidou's cloudy eyes suddenly shone with a glimmer of brilliance, and he said:
"Ten years ago, a young man suddenly found me and told me that he had an incredible book to publish.
"He asked me to help connect him with the publishing house, and at the same time, he put forward a very arrogant condition:
“His identity cannot be revealed.
"He said he only wanted to see me, not publishers, reporters, various awards, or other people. He didn't go on stage or show up, and he was concentrating on writing books.
"If I ever reveal his identity, he'll stop writing books."
At this point, Zhao Taidou smiled and said, "Listen, isn't this kid arrogant?"
Before anyone could answer, he said, “I also thought he was arrogant at first, but after I saw the book he brought over, I no longer thought he was arrogant.
"The book he brought over is called One Hundred Years of Solitude!"
Lu Yu was a little confused and asked, "Teacher Zhao, is the person you are talking about Ruyan's teacher?"
Zhao Taidou slapped his thigh and said, "I've never met Liu Ruyan's teacher, but I gave her those certificates myself!"
Lu Yu asked doubtfully, "You mean these forged certificates?"
Zhao Taidou said: "What fake certificates? These are all genuine Nobel Prize in Literature certificates!"
Lu Yu laughed awkwardly and said, "Teacher Zhao, you tell lies sometimes and tell the truth sometimes. I don't know which one you are telling the truth."
Zhao Taidou glared and said, "Don't you understand? What did I agree with that kid?"
Xiao Qing said quickly, "Teacher Zhao made an agreement with him that if his identity was exposed, he would never write a book again. That's why Teacher Zhao said the certificate was fake at the beginning, right, Teacher Zhao?"
Zhao Taidou nodded and said, "This kid's talent, if he continues to write, will be a blessing to the Chinese literary world! Tell me, do I dare to reveal his identity? If I break the agreement, I will be a sinner in the Chinese literary world!"
Then, he thought of something and said with a sullen face:
"But if I don't tell him, and someone tries to snatch the woman he loves away from him, what if he runs away to America in anger? Wouldn't I become even more of a sinner? He's always been a playboy, and he protects his women like treasures."
Lu Yu pressed the issue, "So, you're saying that García Borges, Ruyan's teacher, is Chinese?"
Zhao Taidou said: "Garcia Borges? It's more than that!"
He pointed at Ruyan Liu and said, "Look at the certificate in her hand. Who are the names on it?"
Xi Wendian grabbed his arm and said, "Teacher Zhao, go on..."
Zhao Taidou rolled his eyes and glared at him, saying, "Do you think the Nobel Prize committee is so easy to fool? They've been keeping an eye on me the whole time. They should have known by now!"
Lu Yu walked up to Liu Ruyan, looked at the certificate in her hand, and identified the name on it.
"He...mingway?"
Liu Ruyan said softly, "Don't look at them. These three people are Hemingway Faulkner, Kawabata Haruki, and Tolstoyevsky."
Lu Yu looked confused. She had vaguely heard these names, but was not quite sure what they had done.
In the studio, Gao Xiaobai's stool fell over and he sat down on the ground.
Yu Hua smiled bitterly: "This century has captured all the best literature."
