Chapter 6 Admiration

(I heard that the reviews can be seen on the page, and the effect is good, so please give me a monthly vote and a recommendation vote.^_^)

In the world of Doraemon, Zuo Xiaoyou's identity was a Chinese American. Because he was fascinated by the scenery of Japan, he settled here. In this life, Zuo Xiaoyou still used this identity. This is also the best way. Due to some historical reasons, Japanese people have always regarded the United States as their father, so the identity of an American is still very pleasing to Japan.

Just like the ancient Japanese women, they were proud of their dedication to Chinese men.

In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the race are nothing more than a reflection of whether the comprehensive national strength is strong enough. Why are white people now called excellent varieties? Isn’t it because they first launched the industrial revolution and the energy revolution, and called the most developed countries?

But two hundred years ago, China has always been the center of the world. No one dared to look down on it, and he had to come over to pay tribute and pay tribute. Especially during the Tang Dynasty, a considerable number of officials in the Tang Dynasty were foreigners, but they regarded themselves as Tang people and were proud of Tang people. This is when a country is strong, others will naturally look up to it.

In reality, what China is doing is to restore China's former glory. However, countries dominated by the West will not watch China rise, so all kinds of suppression and slander have never stopped. Fortunately, China has held on, otherwise Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria are the best examples.

Want me to live in a cooking country like this? Unless you step over my body!

After Zuo Xiaoyou first visited Shizuka's house, he did not pass for a month. Because he had to supervise the decoration process of the house every day, there was no time to pass, and there was no reason to pass.

Fortunately, Jingyuqian is an enthusiastic woman. She would give Zuo Xiaoyou some food and drink from time to time. Sometimes on weekends, the family of three would come to see the renovation progress of Zuo Xiaoyou's new home.

Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou's home decoration was very modern, I couldn't help but praise Lianlian.

In such a month and a half, the house was finally renovated, with various furniture, appliances and supporting facilities complete. In order to celebrate the housewarming, Zuo Xiaoyou specially invited the neighbors around to come and have a dinner to celebrate.

There were more than 20 people from the neighbors, including old people, young people and children. Fortunately, Zuo Xiaoyou's living room was big enough. After two rows of long tables, they finally put down the people. The people who came were very polite, lively but still orderly.

Speaking of politeness. The Japanese who inherited the traditional Chinese etiquette in ancient China can be said to be the world's number one. Although the Chinese are also polite, for various reasons, those politeness is no longer formal enough and there is no unified way.

Finally, the celebration ended successfully. Everyone came with great pleasure and returned with satisfaction. Zuo Xiaoyou also made a good start for his stay here.

After dealing with the accommodation problem, Zuo Xiaoyou began his daily life in Japan.

Zuo Xiaoyou's daily life is nothing more than reading books, practicing martial arts, playing the piano, writing, painting, and occasionally writing novels and submitting articles to publishing houses in the United States. It is an obvious source of income!

The novel written by Zuo Xiaoyou is a best-selling book that can withstand the proof of later generations, and the only one is the world-famous "The Da Vinci Code".

Zuo Xiaoyou actually doesn't want to plagiarize. With his own talent, he can create better works. But excellent works do not mean best-selling works, let alone Zuo Xiaoyou prefers ancient Chinese style. The things written may be very good, but many people will definitely not understand them. Moreover, if Zuo Xiaoyou wants to make money from Americans, he must write books that Americans like, so "The Code of Da Vinci", which was published in 2003, became a victim.

Things were similar to what Zuo Xiaoyou expected. After "The Da Vinci Code" was favored by an American publisher and published, the book quickly swept across the United States and became the best-selling list in the first week of its release, shocking the US publishing industry.

In the next few months, "The Da Vinci Code" went crazy, and soon the book was released in various translated versions. It was sold to most countries around the world. Hollywood became obsessed with this story and planned to buy the movie adaptation rights at a high price. However, Zuo Xiaoyou was not satisfied with the price they offered, so they are still talking about it.

Putting aside these, Zuo Xiaoyou's fame and income have risen in just a few months. However, Zuo Xiaoyou turned a blind eye to various invitations from the outside world because he did not want to be too disturbed. If he wanted to discuss cooperation, he had to go to Japan to discuss it. He had no time to travel far to the United States.

Because there are foreigners with tall horses coming from time to time at Zuo Xiaoyou's home, it also attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

On that day, Zuo Xiaoyou was invited to Shizuka's house for dinner, and Genyoo couldn't help asking: "Zuo Jun, I heard from Uchiko that there are often foreigners in your family, I don't know... If there is anything inconvenient, Zuo Jun doesn't need to answer."

"Nothing inconvenient." Zuo Xiaoyou handed the empty bowl to Jingyuqian and said, "Please, I'll have another bowl."

"Okay." Jingyuqian smiled and helped him serve a bowl of rice. Zuo Xiaoyou also took the opportunity to say: "Most of those people are publishers, and some people from film and television companies."

"Oh?" Genyoyo was surprised: "Is Zuo Jun a writer?"

"I just like to write something." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly.

"Zuo Jun, rice."

"Thank you, aunt." After taking the rice, Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I wrote a novel a few months ago. After it was published in the United States, the sales were pretty good. Many foreign publishers wanted to translate the book, so they came here from abroad to discuss the translation and publishing. As for the people from the film and television company... Haha, some people want to adapt this novel into a movie, but the price has not yet been negotiated, so we will discuss it now."

"Oh! That's really amazing." Genyoyo and Shizuki were amazed. Although Shizuka seemed to understand, she also felt a sense of admiration: "Brother is so awesome!"

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled at her and said, "Shizuka is also very awesome."

"Hey? Nani?" Shizuka didn't understand.

"Auntie often says that you are good at studying in school and have good character and academic performance, and you will definitely be very good in the future." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.

Shizuka's face turned red and she was very happy.

"Zuo Jun, you must have made a lot of money in this book!" Genyoshi poured himself a glass of wine and asked.

"It's okay." Zuo Xiaoyou calculated roughly: "The book has only been sold for a few months, and overseas publication has not yet arrived. It only relies on the current royalty income, which is only more than 600,000 US dollars. If converted into Japanese yen, it will probably be more than 600,000 yen!"

"Wow! More than 60 million yen!? So awesome!" This time, even Shizuka understood how terrifying it was for more than 60 million yen. In Japan in the 1970s, when inflation was not yet available, the purchasing power of more than 60 million yen is equivalent to the purchasing power of 200 million yen in later generations. The purchasing power of 200 million yen in later generations is equivalent to the purchasing power of more than 10 million in later generations. So this is really a huge sum of money.

And this is just something Zuo Xiaoyou earned in a few months, and he will definitely have more income in the future.

Japan is a society that worships the strong. When Zuo Xiaoyou did not show anything before, Genyoo only treated Zuo Xiaoyou as an ordinary neighbor, but now, he can't take it lightly.

"Zuo Jun, you are 20 years old this year!" asked Yuan Yoshio.

"I'm 21 now." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I just finished my birthday last month."

"Hey? Was Zuo Jun's birthday last month?" Jing Yuqian said in surprise: "Why didn't you tell us?"

"It's just a birthday. It doesn't matter if I celebrate it, but it doesn't matter." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "What's more, I haven't celebrated my birthday for many years."

"Why?" asked Genyoyo, "Don't Zuo Jun have the habit of celebrating his birthday?"

"No." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "I have never celebrated my birthday since my parents passed away."

"Sorry." Hearing this answer, the three of them twitched, and there was a little apology and sympathy in their eyes.

"It's all over, I'm used to it." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and lowered his head to eat: "Uncle, aunt, Shizuka, we're all eating! I'm so embarrassed to eat alone."

"Oh, yes. Eat them all, everyone."

After a few words, I finally revealed this topic.

After dinner, Jingyuqian brewed a pot of tea, Zuo Xiaoyou sat with them and drank tea and continued chatting.

"Zuo Jun..." Genyoyo put down his teacup and said, "You are 20 years old this year. You can get married in our Japan. I wonder if you have a partner you like now? If not, how about I'll introduce you to an excellent Japanese girl?"

Hearing this sentence, Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to get married in the next ten years."

"Why?" Genyoo was puzzled, and Shizuki and Shizuka listened attentively.

"Marriage means family and responsibility. But I am not ready yet." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "And I have not met the girl I like. Even if I want to get married, I have to meet the one I like and the right one I like!"

"What kind of girl does Zuo Jun like?" Jingyuqian asked.

"First of all...be beautiful." Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled: "Don't look at me like this, I still have high requirements for the girl's figure and appearance."

"That's what you should do." Jing Yuqian smiled and said, "Under Zuo Jun's conditions, it's understandable to find a beautiful girl. Is there any more?"

"There is also gentle, kind, and filial to parents." Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a while. He said, "I hope that after marriage, she can be a full-time housewife and take care of me at home. Because I am a very family-oriented man, I hope we can all run our small family with care and not destroy it."

The family of three nodded repeatedly, agreeing with his point of view.

"Finally, I hope she is a woman who is easily satisfied." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "There is an old Chinese saying that contentment is always happy. I hope she can be content. Only in this way can our family not be broken by endless desires."

Zuo Xiaoyou pointed at himself: "Because I am a man who is easier to satisfy, I have no ambitions in my life. Just have enough money to spend, just live a decent life, just be able to satisfy my interests and hobbies, and don't have to worry about financial problems." (~^~)
