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

“Don’t be so naive,” Gu Yuanzhen said. “Do you think netizens spontaneously and unanimously support the Nobel Prize? They’ve all hired online trolls.”

Qin Yunchu nodded: "To a large extent, all the strangely one-sided comments online are fueled by online trolls."

“I’ve found out some information, and guess what?” Gu Yuanzhen whispered, “The U-shaped needles are just the vanguard. There’s a whole large number of medium and small V-shaped needles that will follow in three batches, advancing in echelons.”

Qin Yun asked, "How did you know?"

“We’ve bought the same online trolls,” Gu Yuanzhen gritted her teeth. “The price has gone up quite a bit.”

He Shiying patted him generously: "You did a good job, is the money enough?"

Whether I have enough money or not depends on how much they threw away over there.

“No money is needed,” Liu Ruyan, who seemed to have always been detached from the crowd, suddenly said. “Just say it in the group chat.”

"Say something in the group? Which group?" Qin Yunchu asked.

"Didn't you join?" Liu Ruyan said, "The heartbroken boys' shelter group."

"what?"

“If they knew the teacher was being bullied, they would definitely help,” Liu Ruyan said. “My sisters are amazing.”

"what?"

……

Inside the Human Observation studio, as the on-site production crew was making adjustments, several guests sat there, playing a role in stabilizing the audience's mood.

Originally, I was just introducing some background information on the Nobel Prize and observing the comments from the Nobel Prize committee members on both domestic and international websites.

As he continued talking, Gao Xiaobo started spouting nonsense again.

Jupiter tried several times to steer the conversation back on track, but couldn't stop Gao Xiaobo.

“…If you’re going to be punished, you should stand up straight. I think you should humbly admit your mistakes this time,” Gao Xiaobo said. “You should accept the punishment and hand over what you should hand over. Otherwise, when people abroad talk about China’s image, they will say that we’ve been making a fool of ourselves with the Nobel Prize, which will give people a bad impression.”

Yu Hua asked sarcastically from the side, "Mr. Gao, do you usually live abroad?"

“I… travel abroad a lot.” Gao Xiaobai was taken aback, then immediately replied.

Yu Hua nodded: "Yes, we should really consider the feelings of foreigners. But shouldn't ordinary people in China be more considerate of what others think, like you are?"

Gao Xiaobo put away his fan, looking distressed, and said, "How can this be? We've offended everyone, and now we have no friends left. How are we going to face the international community in the future..."

Yu Hua said in a deep voice, "Is making friends about constantly bowing down and giving in?"

"Where is the retreat..."

The big shots are fighting, and Jupiter is hiding on the sidelines, trembling with fear.

Her job was to keep things under control, but the atmosphere was too tense, and she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Just then, she suddenly cried out.

"The two-time Nobel laureate, Modiano, has spoken out on this matter!"

Gao Xiaobo and Yu Hua stopped their debate and both looked at Jupiter.

Modiano is a French writer and one of the most uncontroversial Nobel laureates in literature in recent years.

He lived a secluded life, almost like a hermit, but he wielded immense influence in the world of foreign literature.

in the country, Modiano is a powerful tool for artsy young people to show off.

Gao Xiaobo, for example, boasted about how he visited Modiano's birthplace and other sacred sites the year Modiano won the prize.

Upon hearing that his idol had spoken out, Gao Xiaobai quickly stopped and asked, "What did he say?"

Jupiter looked at his phone and said, "He posted a very simple update. He said... if the Nobel Prize is to take back the awards of Tolstoy, Hemingway, Faulkner, García Borges, and Kawabata Haruki, then he suggested taking back Modiano's award as well."

Gao Xiaobai's eyes widened: "Anything else?"

"It's gone."

"What does he mean by that?" Gao Xiaobai asked, lost in thought.

“And another one!” Jupiter exclaimed. “He posted another update, saying, ‘I used to think that the Nobel Prize was to recognize the most valuable and undifferentiated achievements of human spirit, not to package itself as I thought it was, which is actually a suppression of the power of discourse.’”

"But judging from the current situation, the truth seems more like the latter. So please take my award and use it where you feel it's more important to spread your voice."

After a moment of stunned silence, Gao Xiaobo asked, "Is he criticizing the Nobel Prize committee's decision?"

Jupiter did not answer him.

They've already made it very clear.

If you're going to take away the ones from the front, take mine too.

"Another one!" Jupiter exclaimed. "Bob Allen sent a message too!"

Bob Allen is also a Nobel laureate.

Unlike Modiano, he was the one whose award was the most controversial.

He is not a writer, but a singer and songwriter.

His songs have a huge influence in Europe and America.

When the Nobel Prize was awarded to him, it caused an uproar.

Despite the uproar, his songs have accompanied three generations of Americans, and his influence is undeniable.

Even in his old age, he remained unconventional, and no one even knew where he was.

After winning the Nobel Prize, he remained out of the public eye and did not go to accept the award.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Gao Xiaobai's face as he asked, "What...what did he say?"

Jupiter read aloud, "His post was even simpler: 'Luckily I didn't go to collect the award.'"

"Luckily, I didn't go to collect the award..."

The irony about the Nobel Prize practically overflows from the text.

Yu Hua said quietly, "People who never took the Nobel Prize seriously to begin with are probably even less likely to take it seriously now."

"And another thing! All these celebrities have posted updates!" Jupiter exclaimed in surprise, looking at her phone. "Yuichi Ishiguro and Ken Mishima have also posted updates."

"Ken Mishima said, 'I do not consider Haruki Kawabata's award a disgrace. Kawabata's works are masterpieces of the most elegant wabi-sabi aesthetics in Japan, regardless of whether he is Japanese or not.'"

"Yuichi Ishiguro said that when he learned that Haruki Kawabata was not Japanese, 'I felt immense relief and moved, and I began to understand the source of the subtle, wandering emotions I derived from his works.'"

“I moved to England at a young age, and culturally, I felt like a homeless writer, always experiencing a sense of alienation and anxiety about myself.”

"'And Haruki Kawabata, a Chinese man from across the sea, wrote the most Japanese works despite not being Japanese; for me, a Japanese person who is alienated from Japan, he offered immense comfort and redemption.'"

"'Having learned his true identity, tonight I've decided to fall asleep with a book by Haruki Kawabata.'"

Chapter 47 Welcome to Play

Ken Mishima and Yuichi Ishiguro are both Nobel laureates in literature.

Ken Mishima is a native Japanese writer, while Yuichi Ishiguro is a Japanese-born writer living in the UK who writes in English.

The fact that these two individuals spoke out together shows that the entire Japanese literary world was shaken.

Gao Xiaobai waved his fan, barely able to speak.

He simply couldn't understand why these people would support the practice of using multiple accounts to obtain Nobel Prizes in bulk.

After a wry smile, he said, "It seems that foreigners are quite generous..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jupiter interrupted him again:

"Spielberg has spoken out too!"

Gao Xiaobo stopped fanning himself: "Spierberg? Why is he speaking out about this too? Isn't this crossing over into a different field?"

If you mention famous foreign directors, 80% of people will think of Spielberg first.

He is also a director who has won numerous Oscars, and his influence is no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of literary award winners.

“Spierberg said, ‘The works of these four authors are frequent visitors to my bedside, and I am quite disappointed to have their Nobel Prizes revoked. I am also quite disappointed that the credibility of the Nobel Prize has been damaged. Because revoking the prize for such an absurd reason has nothing to do with literature and art.’”

Jupiter scrolled through her phone and said, "Director Tarantino also spoke out, saying, 'The Nobel Prize decision is incredibly stupid! Having multiple pen names is a writer's freedom, and not wanting to appear in public is also their personal freedom; no one has the right to interfere. Does the Nobel Prize think that all writers have to change their lifestyles for their worthless prize?'"

Actor Tom Cross posted, "The Nobel Prize is awarded to writers, not the other way around! Nobody thinks they'll win just because they create a new pen name! I really don't understand the reason for canceling the award."

After reading these comments, Jupiter's fingers trembled: "The world of literature and art has been collectively shaken! Everyone is criticizing the Nobel Prize."

The show's live chat was initially flooded with angry comments criticizing it for "bringing shame to the country," but now it's being flooded with opposing voices.

"Are you still complaining about embarrassing yourself internationally?"

"Your foreign dad doesn't feel ashamed at all, only you, the clown who spams the comments, are ashamed."

"Didn't the foreign cultural community collectively support us? How come there are still people saying we've embarrassed ourselves internationally?"

"Are these trolls all paid trolls?"

In the forum, a large number of enthusiastic users have long been compiling and editing comments from foreign websites.

They not only translated the voices of foreign celebrities, but some people also translated the voices of ordinary people.

In stark contrast to the domestic environment, the voices on the international internet were overwhelmingly critical of the Nobel Prize decision.

Meanwhile, the mysterious author, who was using an alias, was showered with all sorts of compliments.

They regarded this "mysterious author" as a maverick and rebellious leader, and even those who hadn't read the books said they would buy them sooner or later.

Another post included a screenshot of the book sales chart from the external Amazong shopping platform.

On the chart, works by Tolstoy, Hemingway, Faulkner, García Borges, and Kawabata Haruki are all placed at the very top.

This move by the Nobel Prize actually boosted the authors' profile, leading to a significant increase in book sales, which directly topped the charts in Ammazong.

Following the statements of numerous cultural figures, Elon Musk, a well-known entrepreneur who is always eager to stir up trouble, also posted an update.

And he sent many messages in a row.

"I think everyone should pop champagne to celebrate. Because Tolstoy is one of the greatest writers in history, and only a handful of people like Hemingway and Faulkner can compete with him. Now it's great that they are the same person, so there's no need to compete anymore. The greatest writer in history has emerged."

"The Nobel Prize committee should really look at their heads. They should be thinking about how to increase the prestige of the Nobel Prize so that it can be a prize worthy of this greatest writer, instead of discussing, 'Hey, he broke the rules, let's cancel all his prizes!'"

"Is using four pseudonyms excessive? I think that's already being lenient. Tolstoy could be split into three pseudonyms, and those three pseudonyms could all win Nobel Prizes; Hemingway Faulkner could be split into three, García Borges into two, Kawabata Haruki into two... Hey, man, he could have won 10 prizes! But he only won 4. How should the Nobel Prize recognize this guy?"

His posts quickly garnered over ten million views, with likes and shares exceeding one hundred thousand and continuing to climb.

While everyone was still reeling from the shock, He Shiying, who had been closely monitoring the trending topics, exclaimed again:

"Look! The Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a video!"

Qin Yunchu asked in a daze, "What does this have to do with Agentin?"

He Shiying said urgently, "They've always thought that García Borges was from Argentinian, haven't you forgotten?"

Qin Yun Chu then realized what was going on and her heart tightened again: Could this be a mission to interrogate her?

Gu Yuanzhen said, "Quickly open it and take a look."

He Shiying clicked on the video.

At the same time, countless people clicked on the same video.

The video shows Fernando, the leader of Agentin, an elderly man with snow-white hair and a kind face.

"Dear people of China, greetings. The friendship between China and Argentina has lasted for more than 50 years, which is very precious and important."

In the exchanges between our two countries, both I and the people of Agendarium have gained a lot, in many ways, both economically and emotionally.

Today, we heard that a national treasure of South America's literature was created by Chinese people. While we were shocked, I also felt gratified.

One cannot truly understand Argentinianism without reading Gabriel García Borges. As a native of Argentinianism, I have also drawn immense inspiration from his works. So much to learn.

I believe many Argentinians, like myself, draw strength from his work regarding this land and this lineage. I believe this strength, even across the globe, can resonate with humanity and awaken similar emotions.

What pleases me is that these works, like bridges, connect us to one another, making us even more convinced that the possibility of building a community of mutual understanding and tolerance among humankind is very real.

Deep down, I still find it hard to believe that Gabriel García Borges wasn't Argentinian. I've heard that there's a concept of reincarnation in China; perhaps, in a past life, García Borges was indeed an Argentinian!

If Gabriel García Borges sees this video, please remember that the people of Argentinian will always welcome you to visit us, where you will be treated like a brother or sister.

Finally, congratulations to China for having such a great writer! May the friendship between our two countries last forever!
