Chapter 565 He Didn’t Deny It, That’s It!

"Hi, hello, I'm looking for Liu Muhan. I'm her classmate. My name is Lu Jingyao."

"Oh, Mu Han is assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade, didn't you know?"

"Oh, sorry, I don't know the number of her new unit"

"I'll give you my phone number and you can take note of it."

"OK, thanks!"

Lu Jingyao called Liu Muhan's home phone number, and Liu Muhan's father answered the phone. He then told Lu Jingyao that Liu Muhan had assigned a job and gave her Liu Muhan's phone number.

After Lu Jingyao dialed the phone again, he finally heard Liu Muhan's familiar voice: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Lu Jingyao said, "It's me, Mu Han."

Liu Muhan on the other side of the phone was also stunned, and then said happily: "Miss Lu, you have finally remembered to contact me.

I called you last month, and the landlord said that you had moved. Why didn't you tell me that you moved? "

A warmth flowed through Lu Jingyao's heart, and the suffocation in her heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

"I'm sorry, Mu Han. I returned to China shortly after moving, so I haven't contacted you."

"Have you returned to China?" Liu Muhan asked in surprise: "Isn't your master's degree scheduled to graduate in September? Why did you come back early?"

Liu Muhan said: "I have something to do at home. Come over and take care of it. I have to go back in a few days."

"Ah, Jingyao, you are really rich. You don't care about the round-trip air tickets anymore."

You have to pass by the capital when you go back. Be sure to come over and treat me to a big dinner! I was assigned to the foreign economic and trade side, and my salary was less than 100! "

The fact that Lu Jingyao became Qiao Nina's housekeeper was not hidden from Liu Muhan, and because Zhang Rui and others returned to China, this matter could not be hidden either.

At best, everyone just doesn't know that Lu Jingyao now not only gets salary, but also gets the agent's share, and his income is higher than imagined.

Lu Jingyao said: "It's not that I don't take money seriously, it's just that Qionina asked me to try investing, so I invested in my hometown to set up a handicraft factory. I came back to go through some procedures and then go back."

Liu Muhan immediately said angrily: "Hey, if you don't come to me for external investment, that's too much! I've just arrived at the unit and I still lack grades! If you have such good things in the future, please remember to take care of me."

Liu Muhan chatted happily with Lu Jingyao for a while, and then asked with a smile: "Jingyao, you called me today, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Why did you guess it again?"

Lu Jingyao was helpless because his best friend, who seemed to have the ability to "read minds", could always see through her heart.

Liu Muhan said with a smile: "Don't be careless with me, tell me honestly, are you dazzled by the prosperity of capitalism and don't want to come back to serve the motherland, so you came to me to clarify your doubts?"

"."

Lu Jingyao felt ashamed and couldn't answer for a moment.

She really didn't want to come back, but the reason why she didn't want to come back was not entirely because she was dazzled by the comfortable life overseas.

"Hey, hey, you really don't want to come back?"

Liu Muhan seemed to feel Lu Jingyao's embarrassment across the phone line.

"Jingyao, I understand how you feel now. This kind of thing is really confusing. But I still want to tell you that there is a difference between duckweed without roots and grass with roots."

Lu Jingyao took a breath, shook his head violently and said, "I'm not asking you to answer my questions, I just want you to help me analyze some issues related to "A Song of Ice and Fire"."

"A question about "Song of Ice and Fire"?" Liu Muhan said strangely: "Why would you ask me this question at the expense of the near and distant? Shouldn't you ask Jonina?"

Lu Jingyao said in a deep voice: "Qionina is just the translator. She can't answer my question. Mu Han, have you read the original translation of "A Song of Ice and Fire" I gave you?"

Liu Muhan said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? I even tried to translate it!"

Lu Jingyao continued to ask: "Then tell me, could the original author of "A Song of Ice and Fire" be Li Ye?"

"."

Liu Muhan on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and then asked in surprise: "Why are you related to Li Ye again? Jingyao, are you crazy?"

Lu Jingyao sighed and said, "I have known for a long time that that book is related to Li Ye, but I am very familiar with the writing habits of the first draft of that book. It should be the handwriting of an elder."

"But today someone suddenly said that that book is actually written by Li Ye. I can't tell it. Your English skills are better than mine. Please help me analyze whether it was written by Li Ye."

"My English skills are better than yours, but shouldn't you ask Li Ye directly about this kind of thing?"

Liu Muhan was not modest, but he was also wondering what happened to Lu Jingyao today.

Lu Jingyao was silent for a moment before saying, "Li Ye didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either."

When Li Yue said those words just now, Li Ye did not admit or deny them.

Liu Muhan immediately concluded: "Since Li Ye didn't deny it, it must have been written by him!"

"."

Lu Jingyao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why? Why do you believe him so easily?"

Liu Muhan smiled and said: "People like Li Ye disdain to pretend to take other people's honors. Although he doesn't care about anything and is very humble towards everyone, in fact, he has a kind of arrogance in his bones that is different from ordinary people. It’s the kind of arrogance that makes everyone look stupid.”

"."

Lu Jingyao was in a daze again, recalling the changes in Li Ye in the past few years, it seemed that Liu Muhan had really hit the mark.

[Why would a person who has only met Li Ye a few times know Li Ye better than me? 】

Liu Muhan didn't hear Lu Jingyao speak for a while, so he continued to ask, "That elder of yours should also know Li Ye, right?"

Lu Jingyao said: "Yes, we know him."

Liu Muhan: "Then her English level is higher than Li Ye's, right?"

Lu Jingyao said: "Yes, Li Ye's English level is not good."

Lu Jingyao was about to say that Li Ye's English level was not good enough to write the first draft of "A Song of Ice and Fire", but he suddenly remembered what Li Yue said just now, "You have never looked down upon Li Ye."

So Lu Jingyao changed his words: "I don't know his English level, I don't know. But that elder's English level is very high."

"That's right," Liu Muhan said: "In this case, it is likely that Li Ye and your elder created it jointly. Li Ye produced the first draft in Chinese, and then the elder did the preliminary translation."

"When I was reading the first English draft of "A Song of Ice and Fire", I found that the author's wording clearly highlighted the characteristics of 'directness and accuracy', and strived to have no ambiguity in the plot, but he did not give full play to the detailed description. This It’s very unusual.”

"It's like a person. The author only depicts the complete bones, blood vessels, and facial features, but does not fill in the flesh and blood.

That is to say, the purpose of this book was clear at the beginning of its creation, which was to find Western authors for secondary polishing to adapt to the reading habits of Western readers. "

Liu Muhan became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "Also, have you noticed that "A Song of Ice and Fire" is filled with many plots that are completely different from our traditional customs?

The heroine turned out to be the aunt of the hero, and the two became lovers and had a substantial relationship. How could this be a plot that an elder could conceive of?

Our elders in the mainland are all old-school! It's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu are not aunt and nephew by blood! "

Liu Muhan said firmly: "That's why only young people who don't follow the ordinary path will write such a plot that violates the moral customs of our nation based on Western habits.

And Li Ye is a person who doesn't take the ordinary path. "

"."

Lu Jingyao was silent again for a while, then smiled sourly and said, "Mu Han, you seem to be very familiar with Li Ye now!"

Liu Muhan: "."

[Can I not be familiar with it? Li Ye needs to call me aunt~]

"Oh, you also know that I have just arrived at the company and have been sorting out information all day long. When I was sorting out the information, I found that Pei Wencong has invested 40 to 50 million US dollars in mainland China in the past few years.

And his first investment in mainland China was because of Li Ye. Do you think he is unusual? "

Liu Muhan said with admiration: "Jingyao, if we just talk about contributing to the country, Li Ye is already far ahead of us, so we have to work hard,"

“Jingyao, even if you don’t come back, you must still invest more in the mainland. Qionina’s royalties are not low, right?

Since she asked you to try investing, then you come to me! I promise to introduce you to the project with the highest return rate.”

"."

Lu Jingyao waited until Liu Muhan finished speaking, and then said quietly: "Do you think I am still suitable to be Qiao Nina's housekeeper?"

Liu Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then finally understood the purpose of Lu Jingyao calling him today.

"Jingyao, you don't want to completely cut off the relationship with Li Ye, do you? Don't be stupid. Even if "Song of Ice and Fire" was written by Li Ye, so what?"

Liu Muhan comforted: "Everyone has their own value. Li Ye needs Qiao Nina to translate his works, and Qiao Nina needs you to be her housekeeper. These are two completely unrelated things unless Li Ye arranges it." You work as a housekeeper for Jonina."

"No, it's really not that I didn't know that this book was related to Li Ye when I met Qiao Nina."

Lu Jingyao shook his head and denied it.

"Isn't it over then?"

"Taking a step back, even if the royalties earned by Qiao Nina are Li Ye's money, then the money you make by reinvesting the royalties is not Li Ye's money, right?"

Liu Muhan said: "Time will dilute everything. Don't squint your eyes because of the rumors in front of you. After a heavy rain, all the stains on the ground will be washed away."

Liu Muhan was very sincere, because she knew how lucky a child like Lu Jingyao, who had struggled all the way, was to have an opportunity like Qionina.

If you miss Jonina, you may not be able to reach higher heights in your life.

"Alas~"

"I understand, Mu Han, thank you!"

Lu Jingyao sighed and hung up the phone.

Doesn’t she know that her current life is inseparable from Joanina?

When she was in England, working illegally in a Chinese restaurant, what was her life like?

What now?

If you want to take your sister-in-law out of the country, how can you give up this right to control her destiny so easily?

"Boom~"

Suddenly there was thunder outside the post office, and then heavy rain fell.

The heavy rain in July washed out the streets in a short time, revealing the clean colors underneath.

Lu Jingyao let out a breath and walked into the rain, letting the rain wash away her body and the tangles in her body.
