After rebirth, I became a great writer.

Chapter 273 The President's Private Request

What is everyone doing on Sunday morning?
It is estimated that most of them are lying in bed watching videos and singing songs!

Of course, there must also be struggling people who shouted that working overtime will not pay off the workers.

There are thousands of ways to live life, no matter which one you choose, the most important thing is that you like it.

It's just that sometimes, most people can't help themselves. Even if you are the president of a country, you still have your own helplessness.

The White House, the official residence of the President of the United States.

Besley got up early to work, but instead of going to the president's office, he chose to work in his bedroom.

The bedroom he lives in now has a history of nearly a hundred years, and almost all the presidents of the past have lived here.

This is also the default rule. Previous presidents have basically lived and worked in the White House. In addition to the convenience of work, the most important thing is safety.

There is nothing to be taboo about. The new president has the right to rearrange or even redesign his private room, which erases the traces left by the previous president.

Therefore, psychologically speaking, the successive presidents do not have their inner antipathy!

Besley's bedroom has been repainted exactly to his liking, so working here is more comfortable than working in an office.

Naturally, it was also because today was the weekend and a day off, otherwise Besley would have to follow the rules of the White House.

As for rest, it is only relatively speaking, the president has a lot of troubles in a day.

Besley first looked at the documents sent by the secretary last night, signed the ones that should be signed, and rejected the ones that should be rejected, and arranged work with the heads of some departments by phone. Fighting, very busy.

It lasted until more than eleven o'clock at noon, when Besley rubbed his temples with a headache, and chose to put aside the work at hand.

"The job of the President of the United States is not so easy! Just let that old guy be elected. I want to see if he can handle such a high-intensity job with his body!"

Besley thought with some evil taste.

Of course, just thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible to give up re-election. He will become the first black president to serve two consecutive terms.

He picked up the phone again, this time on his personal cell phone, and dialed the number of the head of the Electoral College who supported him.

"Martin, it's me, how's the second round of polls going?"

"Mr. President, Arkansas, California, Colorado and other 6 states are almost at the same level. The support rate of these states has increased by 5 percentage points compared with the first round. It seems that the last time you went to the cultural and educational organization, the effect was very good. "

Besley, who had been busy all morning, finally heard the good news at this moment. After hanging up on Martin's phone, he picked up the intercom in the bedroom and called his social secretary.

"Doris, help me arrange a press conference tomorrow. It should be in the afternoon. The theme is about literature and culture. Help me draft a draft."

Since it is effective, Besley will naturally hold a few more press conferences while the iron is hot, and continue to build his own image.

After making the arrangements, he got up and moved his body. When he turned around, his eyes fell on the bookshelf. There were a few white books on it, which made Besley's eyes pause.

These books were not written, and there was only a line of English letters on the cover. They were brought back by Besley when he went to the cultural and educational organization a few days ago, and they were all among the top works in this International Youth Literature Competition.

At that time, Besley asked the members of the Cultural and Educational Committee to recommend works. Although most of them were for show, they also had to do a full set of works, so they brought back seven or eight books.

It is also important to bring those books. For example, the books recommended by the committee members of some small countries are basically not brought.

There is nothing wrong with this, it is impossible for him to bring back all the works, and he must distinguish them.

The reason why the few books I brought back did not have exquisite covers was because the cultural and educational organizations hadn't had time to design them, and some of them were only translated manuscripts.

The top works of the youth competition will eventually be made into physical books and sold all over the world. Half of the sales proceeds will be distributed to the authors, and the other part will go to cultural and educational organizations. No author will have any objection to this share.

Because this "world" does not include the author's own country, the copyright is still yours. What the cultural and educational organizations want is only the right to sell the work overseas, and they can't say that they want it. They are helping the author to promote it.

"Just choose one or two books and read them, so that you can have something to say at tomorrow's press conference."

Besley walked to the bookshelf talking to himself, and began to choose white papers. He first picked up the work "God Wants to Think" from his own country.

"As soon as human beings think, God laughs. If God wants to think, human beings cannot catch up."

After reading a few chapters, Besley smiled and put "God Wants to Think" back on the shelf. It's not that the writing is bad, but that it doesn't suit his taste. This is a work that is biased towards life perception and philosophical exploration .

It is said that human life is limited, and they do not understand their own insignificance and ignorance, but they like to think beyond infinity. The more they think, the closer they are to the truth, but in the end they find that they are being fooled by God.

And God's life is unlimited, he is always thinking, so human beings can never catch up.

The perspective of the book is to look at human beings from the perspective of "God", which is a bit different, but the author himself is just a young man, how much life thinking can he have, even if there are some remarkable contents, it can be read in Besley's In my eyes, it's okay.

Life is not learned by reading, but experienced. Besley's life experience is more exciting than books.

Next Besley picked another one.

"The three body problems. (one)"

Seeing the title of the book, Besley couldn't help but think of the scene when Yan Shanqing recommended it for him.

"The Three-Body Problem, science fiction, talks about the exchange and fight between human civilization and alien civilization, the Three-Body Civilization, the Three-Body Problem, hard science fiction! Hehe, don’t Orientals always like to write soft science fiction? different."

Besley opened Chapter 1, 【Boundary of Science】, and Chapter 2 【Billards】

"It's interesting, the problem of billiards, the principle of special relativity! No, it is the law of basic physics, which is called the most "sacred" law by scientists. The laws of physics are local and have nothing to do with time (the time when the billiard ball is hit). Spatial location (where the pool table is) doesn't matter either. It's hard sci-fi!"

Undoubtedly, these two chapters aroused Besley's interest. Instead of putting "Three-Body Problem" back on the bookshelf, he took it directly to the desk and sat down, intending to spend some time reading it.

Next is Chapter 3 [Shooters and Farmers], and soon he saw the somewhat scary "farmer hypothesis".

Besley certainly wouldn't feel terrified. He had seen many things in his capacity, but he remembered what happened when he just became president.

When he was running for the election, in order to gain the support of the public, Besley hinted that after he was successfully elected president, he would consider releasing some confidential files, even aliens.

Therefore, some "UFO" enthusiasts decisively voted for him, but after he was successfully elected, although Besley also released some files, he did not have any information about aliens and kept silent about them.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that he can't!
In fact, Besley really used the power of the president to view the military's investigation files on "alien incidents", including the very famous Roswell UFO crash.

That happened in the last century, in Roswell, New Mexico, USA. A farmer heard an explosion at night, and found the wreckage of a metal saucer around his farm the next day, and The corpses of several mysterious creatures.

The army moved in that day and sealed off the scene. The last news was that the plane crashed and had nothing to do with aliens.

Besley checked the investigation results at that time. The truth is that the suspected "alien" corpse was discovered, and it was determined that there was a disc-shaped wreckage. The military also created a stealth B2 bomber based on the wreckage.

But he is prohibited from revealing information, which is included in the presidential ban.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Besley became more and more interested in the follow-up story of "The Three-Body Problem". After thinking about it, he made another call, asking for lunch to be delivered to the bedroom.

The book "Three-Body Problem" is magical. Those who are interested will be like Besley, unable to put it down. Once they read it, they can't put it down. Those who are not interested can't even read a chapter.

Just like that, by the time Besley came to his senses, it was already evening, and the first chapter of "Three-Body Problem" in his hand had only the last chapter left.

The English version is not as strenuous as Chinese characters, and the reading speed is relatively faster.

Soon, the last chapter is also finished.

"You are bugs, this is the end of mankind. Ye Wenjie."

Besley added an accent to Ye Wenjie's name.

There are many characters in the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", but his favorite is not Wang Miao, but Ye Wenjie. Even though she is a "villain", this character's experience, personality, and what he does make Besley think Identity.

Just as he was feeling sorry for Ye Wenjie, the phone rang, and it was a call from the staff, asking about his dinner.

Besley said without hesitation, send it to the bedroom.

After speaking, he got up and went back to the bookshelf, found the second volume of "Three-Body Problem", and continued reading.

In this way, the lights in the bedroom did not go out until the early hours of the morning, and the White House staff had to lament that the current president is really responsible. He still works so late on weekends, and even has to use the time for meals.

How did they know that the president they admired was actually reading a novel instead of working.

In the early morning of the next day, when Secretary Doris took the schedule and went to the restaurant to find Besley, she found that the president was still reading a book while eating,
Even when she was reporting, the president's eyes were still on the book, which made Doris curious. She knew the book, because she took it from the cultural and educational organization, but she didn't know which one.

"Miss Liz, please adjust your itinerary at noon. The outing is cancelled. I'm processing documents in the office, and the press conference in the afternoon will continue as usual."

After listening to the itinerary, Besley made a change aloud. The activities going out at noon are not important, and the cancellation has little impact.

As for why he made the change, the reason is very simple. He has to spend time in the office to finish the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", and there are not many chapters left.

"Okay, Mr. President."

After Doris agreed, she went to work. The change of the president's itinerary seemed to be a one-sentence change, but it was actually very troublesome. She didn't bother to be curious about the title of the book.

It wasn't until noon that Doris knocked on the door of the President's Office to reconfirm the afternoon work schedule with Besley, and the curiosity in her heart was unraveled.

There was also a small episode during the period, that is, when she walked into the office, she found the president standing alone by the window, looking at the sky in the distance, and was still saying a few words repeatedly.

"The Dark ForesDark Fores"

Doris was confused, she didn't understand what "Dark Forest" meant.

"Mr. President, are you okay?"

"it's okay no problem"

Besley came back to his senses, smiled at Doris, and signaled that he was fine.

"The press conference in the afternoon is at a quarter past three. Do you have anything to modify in the manuscript?"

"I see, the manuscript doesn't need to be revised, it's pretty good, but I want to add some words, hehe, Miss Liz, there is something I need you to arrange, it's my personal request."

"Please speak!"

"You go and call Mr. Yan Shanqing from the cultural and educational organization, and ask him to download the email address and phone number of the author of "Three-Body Problem", and then send an email to the author in my name, saying that I like his writing very much. If there is an English version of the third part of "Three-Body", please send it to me."

"what"

Doris was taken aback when she heard the words, but didn't react for a while.

Yan Shanqing knew that it was not difficult to make a phone call, and she also knew about "Three-Body Problem", the top works in this International Youth Literature Competition, was recommended by Yan Shanqing.

You can ask for the original author's email address, phone number, and send an email in the name of the president. Isn't this... a bit... a bit ridiculous!

"What's the matter? Miss Liz? Are you having trouble?"

Seeing Doris' expression was wrong, Besley asked aloud.

"No, no, I'll do it later."

After reacting, Doris waved her hands again and again. As a secretary, she made some personal requests to the president, and she also found a way to fulfill them.

"Then please trouble Ms. Liz, time should be quick. By the way, Ms. Liz, you can read the book "The Three-Body Problem" in your free time. It's very good."

What Besley wanted was not "wait a moment" but "immediately". He was very anxious.

When he was talking, he pointed to his desk, and there was a white paper on it, which was "Three-Body Problem".

"Understood, I'll get in touch right away! Mr. President, I'll take a look."

Doris understood the meaning of the president's words, and after she said it, she hurried to contact him.

"I hope the author has already written the third part. I don't know what he will write in the third part. I'm really looking forward to it! Hehe, I have something to say at the press conference!"

Besley's eyes looked at the sky outside the window again, and there was a light in his eyes that outsiders could not understand.

But after Doris left the president's office, without any delay, she used the White House phone to directly call the headquarters of the cultural and educational organization, and then the call was transferred to Yan Shanqing.

After hearing Doris' request, the old man was also stunned, and it took him a long time to recover.

He left Dai Lisi's phone number, Yan Shanqing didn't know Chen Tianhong's phone number and email address, and Zou Yingde and the others had already returned to China, so he also needed to make a transoceanic call.

When he called again, Yan Shanqing's head was still in a daze.

Good guy, the President of the United States wants to remind you!
ps: Well, at that time, the President of the United States, Obama, really sent an email to Liu
　Thanks to Bu Bian for the support of monthly tickets, and thank you for your recommendation tickets and subscription support!
