That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 565 He didn’t deny it, so that’s it!
"Hello, hello, I'm looking for Liu Muhan. I'm her classmate, my name is Lu Jingyao."

"Oh, Mu Han was 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 tell you the phone number, please write it down."

"OK, thanks!"

Lu Jingyao called Liu Muhan's home phone number. It was Liu Muhan's father who answered the call. He told Lu Jingyao that Liu Muhan had been assigned a job and gave her Liu Muhan's phone number.

After Lu Jingyao dialed the number again, she 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 end of the phone was also stunned, and then said happily: "Miss Lu, you finally remembered to contact me,

I called you last month, and the landlord told me that you had moved. Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Lu Jingyao felt a warm feeling in her heart, and the depression in her heart was immediately relieved a lot.

"I'm sorry, Mu Han. I returned to my country shortly after I moved, so I haven't contacted you."

"You've returned to China?" Liu Muhan asked in surprise, "Aren't you supposed to graduate with a master's degree in September? Why did you come back early?"

Liu Muhan said: "I have something going on at home, so I came here to take care of it. I have to go back in a few days."

"Oh Jingyao, you've really made a fortune. You don't even care about the round-trip air tickets.
You must pass by Beijing on your way back, so you must come and treat me to a big meal! I am assigned to the Foreign Trade Department, and my salary is less than 100 yuan!"

Liu Muhan did not hide the fact that Lu Jingyao became Jonina's housekeeper, and because Zhang Rui and others returned to China, the matter could not be concealed.

Most people just don’t know that now Lu Jingyao not only gets a salary, but also a share of the agent’s income, so her income is higher than imagined.

Lu Jingyao said, "It's not that I don't take the money seriously, but Jonina asked me to try investing, so I invested in a handicraft factory in my hometown, came back to handle some formalities, and then went back."

Liu Muhan immediately said angrily: "Hey, you have foreign investment but you didn't look for me, that's too much! I just arrived at the company and I'm lacking in achievements! If there are such good things in the future, remember to take care of me."

Liu Muhan chatted with Lu Jingyao for a while, then asked with a smile: "Jingyao, you called me today, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"How did you guess it again?"

Lu Jingyao felt helpless. Her best friend seemed to have the ability to read her mind and could always see through her heart.

Liu Muhan said with a grin, "Don't play tricks on me. Tell me the truth. Have you been blinded by the prosperity of capitalism and don't want to return to serve the motherland, so you come to me to help you solve your doubts?"

"."

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

She really didn't want to come back, but the reason 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 through the phone line.

"Jingyao, I understand how you feel right now. This kind of thing is indeed tangled. But I still want to tell you that there is a difference between rootless duckweed and rooted grass."

Lu Jingyao exhaled, shook her head violently and said, "I don't want to ask you to solve my doubts, I want you to help me analyze some problems related to "A Song of Ice and Fire"."

"Questions about A Song of Ice and Fire?" Liu Muhan asked curiously, "Why did you come to ask me this question instead of asking me about it from afar? Shouldn't you ask Jonina?"

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

Liu Muhan said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? I have tried to translate it!"

Lu Jingyao continued to ask: "Then you say, could it be that Li Ye is the original author of A Song of Ice and Fire?"

"."

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

Lu Jingyao sighed and said, "I already knew that the book was related to Li Ye, but I am very familiar with the writing style of the first draft of the book. It should be the work of an elder."

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

"My English is better than yours, but shouldn't you ask Li Ye directly about this?"

Liu Muhan was not modest, but he was also very curious about 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 neither admitted nor denied it.

Liu Muhan immediately concluded: "Since Li Ye didn't deny it, then he must have written it!"

"."

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 would not bother to take credit for other people's honors. Even though he seems to be indifferent to everything and humble to everyone, he actually has a kind of arrogance that is different from ordinary people, the kind that makes everyone look like a fool."

"." Lu Jingyao was stunned again, thinking back to the changes in Li Ye over the past few years, it seemed that what Liu Muhan had said was really right.

[Why does someone who has only met Li Ye a few times know Li Ye better than I do? ]

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

Lu Jingyao said: "Yes, I 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 suddenly remembered what Li Yue had said just now, "You have never looked down on Li Ye."

So Lu Jingyao changed the topic and said, "I don't know his English level. But the elder's English level is very high."

"That's right," Liu Muhan said, "In this case, it is very likely that Li Ye and your elder worked together. Li Ye wrote the first draft in Chinese, and then your elder did the preliminary translation."

"When I read the first English draft of A Song of Ice and Fire, I found that the author's words clearly highlighted the characteristics of 'directness and accuracy', and tried to make the plot unambiguous, but he did not give full play to the description of details, which is very unusual."

"It's like a person, the author only depicts the complete skeleton, 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 a Western author to do a secondary polishing to adapt it to the reading habits of Western readers. "

Liu Muhan became more and more excited 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 hero's aunt, and the two of them became lovers and had a substantive relationship. How could this be a plot that an elder could conceive of?

Our elders in the mainland are all conservative! Even in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu are not blood aunt and nephew! "

Liu Muhan said firmly: "So only those young people who do not follow the ordinary path will write such a plot that violates the moral customs of our nation based on Western customs.
And Li Ye is a person who does not follow the ordinary path. "

"."

Lu Jingyao was silent for a long time again, and then she smiled bitterly: "Mu Han, you seem to be very familiar with Li Ye now!"

Liu Muhan: "."

[How could I not be familiar with you? Li Ye has to call me aunt~]

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

His first investment in the mainland was because of Li Ye. Do you think he is unusual? "

Liu Muhan said admiringly: "Jingyao, if we only talk about contributing to the country, Li Ye is already far ahead of us, so we have to work harder."

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

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

"."

Lu Jingyao waited until Liu Muhan finished talking before she said quietly, "Do you think I'm still suitable to be Jonina's housekeeper?"

Liu Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then he finally understood why Lu Jingyao called him today.

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

Liu Muhan consoled her, "Everyone has their own value. Li Ye needs Jonina to translate his works for him, and Jonina needs you to be her housekeeper. These are two completely unrelated things unless Li Ye arranges for you to be Jonina's housekeeper."

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

Lu Jingyao shook her head and denied it.

"Isn't it over then?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if the royalties that Jonina earned were from Li Ye, then the money you earned from reinvesting the royalties was not Li Ye's money, right?"

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

Liu Muhan's words were sincere and sincere, because she knew how lucky it was for a child like Lu Jingyao who had struggled all the way to have the opportunity to meet Jonina.

If you miss Jonina, you may never reach higher heights in your life.

"Ah~"

"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 Jonina?
What kind of life was she leading when she was working illegally in a Chinese restaurant in England?
What now?
If you want to take your sister-in-law abroad, then take her abroad. How can you give up the right to control other people's destiny so easily?

"Boom~"

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

The heavy rain in July was very sudden. It washed 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 over her body and wash away the entanglement in her body.
