I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"In addition, there is another country, Chile."

"Chile is a country that once experienced a large-scale movement against dictatorship."

"And that year, Gabriel García Borges's 'Autumn of the Patriarch' was published in Chile."

"This book is about resisting dictatorship, and almost all Chileans believe that it is in support of Chile's resistance movement."

"That year, many workers took to the streets, holding the book 'The Autumn of the Patriarch' in their hands, and sat in silence."

"This book became a spiritual totem for the resistance movement, and García Borges became a spiritual mentor for the Chilean people."

"In addition, there is a leader in South America who greatly admires García Borges."

"That leader's name was Castro."

After finishing his explanation, Gao Xiaobai took a sip of water and said:

"I've said all this to tell you that this person holds a place in the hearts of Latin Americans just like Li Bai holds a place in our hearts."

"On the other hand, it is also to show that this person's work is deeply rooted in the blood and soil of Latin Americans, and he cannot be from anywhere else."

"Because with literature, if you don't live in that environment, you simply can't write something that resonates with people so much."

"Professor Yu Hua must also understand this point. The works of Professor Yu Hua, such as 'Dead' and 'Zhao Dayong's Blood Donation,' are definitely not something that people from other countries could write."

After listening to this, Yu Hua nodded quietly and then said, "So you think that García Borges is from Latin America."

Gao Xiaobai nodded: "That's right."

Yu Hua then asked, "So why is his award certificate in China?"

Gao Xiaobo firmly stated, "It's a forgery."

“I don’t think it’s fake,” Yu Hua shook her head. “Why don’t we examine it to see if it’s a genuine certificate or a forgery?”

Gao Xiaobai leaned over: "How do you identify it?"

“We’ll ask the most authoritative person in China to evaluate it,” Yu Hua said. “Professor Mo Yu, his words will surely be convincing, won’t they?”

Chapter 38 The joke went too far.

Mo Yu.

The only known Nobel laureate in Literature currently living in China.

Coincidentally, Yu Hua and he had a very good relationship.

Lu Yu dared not speak, Gao Xiaobai stopped fanning himself, and Jupiter stared intently at Yu Hua.

If Mo Yu were to unexpectedly appear on the show, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of trending on social media.

Yu Hua dialed Mo Yu's number.

"Mo Yu, are you watching the Human Observation program?... You are watching it? That's good."

Yu Hua turned to the camera and smiled, saying, "It seems I don't need to explain any further."

After obtaining consent, the director made a video call to Mo Yu, and the screen switched to the video call interface.

Mo Yu appeared on the screen immediately.

"Hello everyone," Mo Yu greeted the crowd.

"Hello, Teacher Mo!" Gao Xiaobai and the others didn't dare to relax and greeted him one after another, making the studio a chaotic mess.

The number of comments on the screen surged, filling the entire screen.

"Teacher Mo has been alerted; the Human Observation Team is really impressive!"

"It's not that Human Observer has prestige, it's that García Borges has prestige."

"It's all hype, and the hype is ridiculously stupid. How could a Chinese person possibly choose such a foreign name? I'm not watching anymore."

"Me too, those ahead of me. I've watched this far, and I've realized that only someone who doesn't use their brain can keep up with their pace. How could García Borges possibly be Chinese?"

The director whispered to Lu Yu through his earpiece, "You must take good care of the scene. Our program already has 8000 million live viewers!"

After greeting everyone, Mo Yu continued, "This matter is actually very simple. It's just a matter of whether this Nobel Prize certificate is genuine. I've never met García Borges, and I don't know him. I can only say what I do know."

He took out a similar certificate and said to the screen, "This is my award. It's actually handmade, and only a few are made each year. It's very beautiful."

"Look, everyone, here is the signature. This signature is the signature of the chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee. It's handwritten. Here is the red lead ink, and here is the ribbon. These are all very difficult to imitate."

Upon seeing the certificate in Liu Ruyan's hand, Lu Yu excitedly said into the microphone, "These are exactly the same as what Teacher Mo Yu said!"

Liu Chenmin was momentarily stunned: "What does this mean?"

Mo Yu said, "That proves it's true."

Liu Chenmin was speechless.

Gao Xiaobai dropped the fan in his hand.

Mo Yu said, "Actually, I could tell from watching your program that this was true, and I also know that García Borges could indeed be Chinese, and Yu Hua knew that too."

Yu Hua chuckled to himself.

Mo Yu pointed at the screen and said, "Look at Yu Hua, he's cunning and wicked. He knows it, but he won't say it."

Jupiter asked, "Teacher Mo, what are you referring to?"

"Let Yu Hua speak!"

Yu Hua chuckled and said, "It's not just the vague evidence that the first edition was in Chinese; there's other evidence that proves García Borges was Chinese."

Gao Xiaobai stared wide-eyed.

Do you have evidence that you didn't just say?

play me?

My outrageous remarks just now have all become a joke, haven't they?

Yu Hua said, "The Nobel Prize committee member who nominated Mo Yu was named Zhang Yueran. He knows Mo Yu and me. Although his name is Zhang Yueran, he is actually an old foreign man who speaks very good Chinese."

"When Gabriel García Borges was nominated for the Nobel Prize, one problem was that we couldn't find him."

"This García Borges is practically like a former spy; he's hidden his identity exceptionally well, without revealing a single detail."

"The other Nobel Prize staff contacted publishers in South America, but to no avail. It was Zhang Yueran who remembered that the first edition was published in China, so he came to contact publishers in China."

At this point, Yu Hua cleared his throat and said, "Then, he found our teacher Zhao Taidou."

Mentioning the name Zhao Taidou might leave some people completely bewildered, while others might become excited.

Zhao Taidou is a senior writer in China.

The old man wasn't famous, but his story was known to everyone who had been to school.

He himself is a pioneering leader in the publishing industry.

Although he is now retired, he still holds a status in the publishing industry comparable to that of a "godfather".

Yu Hua continued, "When Teacher Zhao Taidou heard this, he said, 'Okay, you've come to the right person. I'll help you make the contact.'"

"Then, he proved García Borges's true identity to the Nobel Prize committee, and then the Nobel Prize money and certificate were sent to China."

This statement left everyone bewildered.

Jupiter pressed further: "So, was García Borges really Chinese?"

Yu Hua shrugged and said, "I don't know, but the Nobel Prize committee believes that García Borges is in China."

Mo Yu finally spoke up: "You'll have to ask Zhao Taidou for the truth!"

Then he added, "However, I reckon that old stubborn man won't open his mouth."

Yu Hua said with a smile, "The few of us who are familiar with Zhao Taidou only know about this in our small circle. He repeatedly asked us to keep it a secret. If it weren't for this coincidence today, I wouldn't have brought it up."

Lu Yu excitedly said to the screen, "Then, teachers, could we ask Teacher Zhao Taidou to come out and testify?"

Yu Hua shrugged and said, "I don't dare to hit him, he'll curse me to death."

Everyone looked at Mo Yu again.

Mo Yu hung up the phone immediately.

"..."

The studio fell silent.

Gao Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This has become an unsolved case. It's really perplexing."

He just said so much, but now he's been slapped in the face. He wishes he could slap himself and that everyone would forget about it as soon as possible.

Jupiter sighed, clutching her chest, and said, "If the trail ends here, I really... I'm so unwilling to accept it!"

Lu Yu's eyelashes trembled as the director told her through her earpiece that the number of viewers was approaching 9000 million!

Qin Yun Chu and the others stood there like stone statues, seemingly in a state of malfunction.

They had been shocked by the incident involving Jin Yong and Gu Long before, and knew that Chen Ya liked to use multiple accounts.

The various vests created a confusing and ambiguous atmosphere, as if they were joking with everyone.

Now it seems... he might...

Is he a Nobel laureate in literature?

That joke went a bit too far!

They can't afford it!

At this moment, the person under the most pressure is none other than Liu Chenmin.

He made a grand entrance with a cool and domineering presence, had a powerful background, and used extreme pressure to launch an attack.

Someone as outstanding as him could have easily disregarded everything.

But he wasn't qualified to even catch the eye of a Nobel laureate in literature.

Company CEOs are everywhere, but how many Nobel laureates does China have?

On a small scale, they're included in textbooks; on a larger scale, they represent the face of the nation!

The words Gao Xiaobo said before still ring in my ears.

He is a figure of almost religious significance in Latin America, a pillar of the literary world.

Even if he has a lot of money, what does it matter?

Besides, it's not like they're short of money!

If this is confirmed today, he will have absolutely no chance.

Moreover, he will become a laughing stock.

"Forcing a girl to confess her feelings resulted in the birth of a Nobel Prize-winning writer."

He was lucky, but became a laughing stock across the country.

Bad luck, became a global laughing stock!

So when he heard that Zhao Taidou couldn't be contacted, he felt relieved.

Just then, Xiao Qing's phone rang.

She peeked over and saw it was Xi Wendian.

He secretly answered the phone, hiding from everyone, and heard an old voice on the other end:

"This is Zhao Taidou! I'm with Xi Wendian. Give the phone to the production team, I want to speak!"

Chapter 39 How can you trust what a writer says?

"This is Zhao Taidou! I'm with Xi Wendian! Give the phone to the production team, I want to speak!"

The voice sounded very old and stubborn, which startled Xiao Qing.

Everyone's looking for Zhao Taidou right now, and he's actually calling me!

However, upon further reflection, Xiao Qing was overjoyed.

The current problem is that no one can prove that Chen Ya is García Borges, and Zhao Taidou is the only one who knows García Borges.
