De Broglie did not share the joy of victory in the Olympics with Chen Muwu immediately after the game, but chose to leave early. Naturally, he had his reasons.
Sitting in the car, Chen Muwu gradually realized that the car's destination was neither the house near the swimming pool where he had lived these days, nor the suburban villa where he had been training some time ago.
This made him gradually become more alert: Damn, he couldn't have been careless. This driver actually colluded with the kidnappers and forged the handwriting of their master, De Broglie, in an attempt to murder him. Bar?
He asked calmly: "Mr. Driver, where are we going?"
"Mr. Chen, please don't worry. This is Master Louis' instruction. You have been to Paris twice, but you have never visited Paris.
"Now that we have completed all the competitions and achieved good results, Mr. Louis has arranged for me to take the two of them to visit various famous attractions in Paris."
Chen Muwu didn't know which song de Broglie was singing. Regarding the attractions in Paris, he only knew the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and the Louvre.
But these four attractions are basically located in the west of Paris, while the swimming pool is located in the northeast corner of Paris.
Moreover, Chen Muwu did not just finish the game today and will leave Paris tomorrow. Why did De Broglie insist on hurriedly arranging for him to go to these places today?
Sitting in an early car that was not very comfortable, Chen Muwu and Best, under the guidance of the driver, headed west along the Seine River across the city of Paris, admiring the scenery and scenery along the coast.
When the car drove to the Arc de Triomphe, the sun was already setting in the sky.
The driver made a U-turn here, then basically followed the original road and drove non-stop towards Paris.
After another hour or so, the car stopped in front of an unfamiliar building, and the sky was completely dark.
Where is this?
The driver, who had left the cab, walked to the back and opened the door, seemed to have seen through Chen Muwu's doubts. He said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Best, if nothing else, Mr. Louis should be inside." Waiting for you, please get out of the car.”
General Chen Muwu opened the door of the house doubtfully. There was a man dressed as a butler who had been waiting inside for a long time. He led them through the long corridor and into a wide hall.
In the corner of the hall, there were several people in tuxedos playing various musical instruments.
On the other side, a lot of people gathered, most of whom were Chinese compatriots with black hair and yellow skin like Chen Muwu. People like Zhang Xiuyou whom he had met a few days ago were also among them.
Seeing today's protagonist entering the venue, thunderous applause erupted in the hall.
"Look, Mr. Champion is back!"
Thanks to Chen Muwu who had previously asked de Broglie to send people to Zhang Xiuyou and others to send tickets to several swimming competitions, de Broglie was able to successfully find the group of international students in Paris.
He asked Zhang Xiuyou to invite more people to attend the celebration banquet tonight.
Although Zhang Xiuyou and the others watched several swimming competitions at the scene, as Chen Muwu became more and more popular, competition tickets became more and more difficult to obtain, so in fact, they were not able to enter the last few swimming competitions. At the venue, the only news about the game was in the next day's newspaper.
So when de Broglie came to them and informed them that Chen Muwu had won the fourth gold medal without any surprise, these international students who were studying hard in France were very happy.
So everyone spread the word to ten, and a large number of people gathered in a short period of time.
De Broglie was also a lively person. He wanted to have as many people as possible, so he sent people to send all these Chinese students to the house that he had prepared a long time ago, intending to surprise Chen Muwu who had returned with a great reputation. .
In addition, he also invited people to the University of Paris and invited several physics professors who Chen Muwu had met at the Solvay Conference.
Because Langevin was present, Marie Curie declined de Broglie's invitation again this time.
However, her daughter Eve, because she sat next to de Broglie and watched Chen Muwu's game this afternoon, she naturally stayed to attend the banquet.
Only now did Chen Muwu suddenly realize.
De Broglie mysteriously asked the driver to take him around Paris this afternoon just to prepare for this mysterious banquet!
This Frenchman is really thoughtful!
The international students in Paris had long wanted to meet this famous Chinese compatriot, so they came forward one after another to say hello to Chen Muwu.
As a result, Chen Muwu saw many celebrities in today's conference that he had only seen in textbooks and encyclopedia entries before, and many of them were unexpected by him.
The first person to come over was a short middle-aged man with small round glasses, followed by a girl with student hair.
Chen Muwu's first reaction was, why did he come to France to study at such an old age?
The second reaction was that this man looked familiar.
"I, Cai Yuanpei, have heard about Han Chen for a long time, and today I finally get to meet him. Whether it is in physics, astronomy or sports, Han Chen has won respect for us in China. Mr. Cai really admires me. Please accept me. A bow."
After Cai Yuanpei, who spoke with a Shaoxing accent, finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and arched forward, about to bow to Chen Muwu.
How does this work!
The man in front of me is very complicated. When he was the president of Beida University, he made a lot of contributions to the creation of the communist theory by Mr. Zhongfu and Mr. Shouchang.
But he was also one of the executioners of April 12 in the future, and then gradually stepped aside in the constant political struggle. Finally, after recognizing the true face of the bald man in his later years, he suddenly woke up and stood on the side of the people.
However, Cai Yuanpei is still a highly respected senior and is the president of Beijing University. Chen Muwu cannot bear this gift from him.
"Master Crane must not do this. Students and juniors cannot accept such a great gift."
In TV dramas, you can often see professors from Bei University calling him a "jailee", but the title "jailee" doesn't seem to sound that nice.
Fortunately, Cai Yuanpei had another cousin name, He Qing, so Chen Muwu chose to call him He Gong, which made him look more elegant.
Chen Muwu thought quickly with his hands and eyes, reaching out to stop him. If he could, he would just do it. If he couldn't, he was ready to bow deeper than Cai Yuanpei.
Sure enough, the old man was just being polite and had no intention of actually saluting a junior.
Chen Muwu and Cai Yuanpei actually have a close relationship. Not only are they from the same hometown, but Cai Yuanpei was very supportive of Chen Muwu when he was teaching in the north.
He had just been let go by Einstein and was in urgent need of someone to stop him and help him regain his face.
As a result, by mistake, the day after Chen Muwu arrived in Beijing, Cai Yuanpei resigned and left Beijing in anger due to conflicts with Peng Yunyi, the then director of education, so the two never met.
After Cai Yuanpei resigned, he first returned to Wuhai and married his former student for the third and last time in his life. Then he took his new wife and several children from Wuhai to Europe, and started his career again. Educational study trip.
To this day, this is the first time the two people have met.
Cai Yuanpei praised Chen Muwu again, and then at the end of his words, he pointed to the girl next to him and said: "Hanchen, this is my daughter William Cai, who is now studying painting at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. You are all young people. , and they are both abroad, so we should move around more and get closer to each other."
After going around in such a big circle, he ended up introducing someone to himself?
You want to be Taifu Xi, but you don’t want to be Wang Xizhi!
Out of dignity, Chen Muwu greeted William Cai politely, shook hands, and then stood aside with his hands down.
When Cai Yuanpei saw this, although he had no choice but to leave with his daughter.
After all, there are still many people waiting to say hello to Chen Muwu.
Soon someone came up to say hello: "Mr. Chen, I would like to express my gratitude to Xu Beihong, who is currently studying at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Recently, I saw the figure of Mr. struggling in the water in the newspaper. I was very moved, so I took the photo published above. Xian Chou copied a sketch, but Beihong's painting skills are poor, so I hope Mr. Chen will save it."
!
Before even seeing the painting, Chen Muwu knew that the painting would be extremely valuable in the future.
When he took it over, he found that what was painted on the painting was exactly his posture in the water when swimming the 200-meter breaststroke.
I have to say that although this master artist is still very young, his vision is already very vicious.
Moreover, the reporter who captured this photo was also very good at shooting. He happened to capture the moment when Chen Muwu waved his arms out of the water, just like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
"Thank you Brother Xu for the gift of the painting. Mu Wu will keep it well."
Chen Muwu was polite for a long time, and finally restrained his impulse and stopped asking Xu Beihong for a horse.
Later, someone came forward to praise Chen Muwu for his good song "Orchid Grass" and looked forward to him creating more musical works.
This is Zhao Yuanren, who left Harvard University and returned to China to teach at the invitation of Tsinghua University.
Some people also say that Chen Muwu's achievements in physics have enabled Chinese people like them to gain respect from others in the laboratories of French universities.
These are several students of Langevin and Madame Curie, Yan Jici and Lao Junzhan.
When he met his colleagues in physics, Chen Muwu chatted with them for a few more words with great interest.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Yan Jici. He can be regarded as one of Chen Muwu's old principals in his previous life.
The other one, Lao Junzhan, seems to have little reputation.
But Chen Muwu knew that she had a great son-in-law who had remained anonymous for decades so that "Miss Qiu" could "marry" smoothly.
Chen Muwu felt that the burden on him was even greater. He had to do his best in this life, and he could not let these seniors live as hard as they did in the previous life.
…
There are a hundred people, all kinds of people (shǎi).
Although Chen Muwu didn't see Ye Gongchao's friends at this banquet, he did hear some discordant sounds.
Another person tried to persuade him to attend a party, but Chen Muwu hurriedly left after a few words.
At the same time, he felt a little strange why these flies always buzzed to him no matter in London or Paris.
But faced with him coming to his door, why didn't Zhang Xiuyou come to develop and accept himself?
Banquets of French nobles were indispensable with dancing.
As soon as the music played by the band started, de Broglie began to encourage Chen Muwu to go down to the middle of the dance floor, and kept hinting to him to invite Eve to dance.
This time it really hit Chen Muwu's knowledge blind spot. He brought many skills with him through time travel, but he only couldn't dance this kind of ballroom dance.
Even in Cambridge, England, Chen Muwu did not develop this skill because most of his daily interactions were with the same sex.
The international students present, perhaps because of the influence of living in the romantic city of Paris, all danced with style.
Maybe she saw Chen Muwu sitting there like a wooden block, so after the song ended, just like when she took pictures in Leopold Park in Brussels, Eve left her seat again and walked openly to In front of Chen Muwu, he stretched out a hand: "Mr. Chen, can you invite me to dance?"
What she spoke this time was actually English, although it still sounded like she had a strong French accent.
De Broglie added fuel to the fire and secretly poked Chen Muwu in the waist with his elbow. Now he became a duck on the shelf and stammered in agreement: "Okay, okay, Miss Curie, it's my honor." It’s coming.”
Chen Muwu could only hold Ai Fu's hand and pull her onto the dance floor.
When the music started playing again, Chen Muwu stiffly put one hand on Eve's waist while quickly scanning the others in the field with his peripheral vision, unrealistically dreaming about whether he could learn and sell now. .
But it was obvious that he was overthinking this time.
One second Chen Muwu was a majestic Olympic champion, now he has become the center of attention on the dance floor.
Of course it's not because he dances so well, but because of his frequent mistakes.
Chen Muwu's clumsy dancing and flustered steps also became the object of ridicule by the laughing Eve.
After stepping on Av's foot for an unknown number of times and saying sorry for an unknown number of times, Av had a smile on her face and put her head to Chen Muwu's ear. She said softly in English that she was not very proficient in. :
"Mr. Chen, my mother often praises your physics level in front of my sister and me.
“And you showed me another unknown side in the swimming competition at the Paris Olympics.
"I thought you were an all-rounder, but I didn't expect that geniuses also have things they are not good at.
"Mr. Chen, there is no need to apologize. It's fine now. Only now can I treat you as an ordinary person who has the same shortcomings as me, rather than an object of lofty worship.
"When you return to England this time, don't forget to write to me. I was waiting for your letter before, but it took me a long time."
The beauty blew her breath into his ears like orchid, and Chen Muwu blushed to the root of his neck.
Cai Yuanpei, who was sitting in the audience, saw this scene and shook his head slightly.
Of course he didn't think that it was immoral for Chen Muwu to be too close to a foreign woman.
I don’t think that Chen Muwu’s inability to dance will embarrass China.
It’s not that Chen Muwu rejected his daughter because he had someone he liked.
Cai Yuanpei just couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chen Muwu could achieve such great success because he was a genius, but there must be other reasons.
Isn't this scene in front of us what Su Dongpo said: "Those who achieved great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also had perseverance and perseverance"?
He must have spent all the time other international students were learning to dance in the ballroom on study and research!
The banquet lasted until very late.
After sending people away to attend the guests, Chen Muwu, De Broglie and Best simply stayed here.
They had a fulfilling and happy night, but no one seemed to have forgotten that in the villa far away in the suburbs, there was another person who was "under house arrest" for nearly a month because of Chen Muwu's anger, and was writing every day. Ye Gongchao!
…
The headline of "Le Figaro" on July 21 was, "The new king of swimming is born, Chen Muwu is crowned in Paris."
Their Napoleon terrier is really playing from beginning to end.
However, the French report was far more detailed than the last time Chen Muwu was interviewed at the Greenwich Observatory after discovering a new planet.
The British always like to take quotes out of context and delete most of Chen Muwu's words condemning racial discrimination.
However, the French published Chen Muwu's words against racial discrimination at the press conference, his jokes about making fun of New York Times reporter Smith, and the detective book he recommended to everyone, and published them in the newspaper verbatim.
This is because the French, and Americans, are also very unhappy these days.
It was this group of Americans who used conspiracy and tricks to cause the franc to depreciate crazily some time ago, and finally made France accept the "Accept Dawes" plan, reduced many German war reparations, and forced the French army to withdraw from the Ruhr industrial area.
As soon as today's newspaper was published, the content inside really shocked the French people in Paris and surrounding areas.
Although most of them may not know much about physics, they don’t know what photons are, what electronic wave nature is, what electron spin is, and which one is quantum mechanics.
But they all know more or less that some time ago, someone discovered the ninth planet in the solar system, and the earth they live on has a new brother.
Then, in today's newspaper, it was said that the astronomer who discovered the new planet was the same athlete who won four gold medals in the Olympic swimming competition.
If it weren't for the typeface in the newspaper, then it would be impossible to connect these two things with just ordinary people's imagination!
But at this time, the protagonist who shocked the French, Chen Muwu, was still asleep in his room.
The nearly month-long trip to the Olympics has finally come to an end. Chen Muwu, who won four gold medals, should be fine with being able to stay in bed for a while as a reward, right?
However, the new Olympic champion has trouble sleeping.
He vaguely felt as if he was on a boat, and then he thought of the three-day seasick sea journey from Tianli to Baihai, which caused him to have a stress reaction and suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he saw de Broglie standing at the end of his bed, shaking the pillar beside the bed not too violently.
Chen Muwu, who had not yet woken up, asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Louis, what are you doing?"
"Of course I want to wake you up!"
"Isn't there no game today?"
"It is precisely because there is no competition that I should wake you up," De Broglie's tone suddenly became a little more vicious, "Do you know how long the matrix you wrote in your paper tortured me? ? How can you still sleep! Get dressed quickly, wash your face and eat, you must explain this damn matrix to me clearly today!"
When I was taking a nap in the afternoon, I accidentally touched my phone on the ground. These two chapters will be released on time today, so I can’t post pictures. I’m sorry.
