Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 660 Llorente

After entering the venue, before Zhang Zhong could find his seat, he was stopped by Hilde standing at the door.

"Pz, welcome to the Science Fiction Convention." Hilde smiled kindly, squinted his eyes and extended his hand to Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong immediately recognized that the person in front of him was Hilde, the chairman of the World Science Fiction Convention.

The Hilde in front of him is older than the one in the photo, maybe the photo that Zhang Zhong saw before is quite old.

Holding Hilde's hand, Zhang Chong said with a smile, "Thank you, Chairman Hilde, thank you for bringing such a feast to science fiction fans all over the world."

Hilde smiled and waved his hands, "This is all due to the city of Wellington. Of course, if I have to say that I have any credit, it is that when Wellington was chosen as the host city, I voted for it, just as I did for Jiangyang City. Do the same."

Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows. Facing Hilde's sudden overture, Zhang Zhong couldn't figure out what he meant.

He voted for Jiang Yang.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't mean that next year's World Science Fiction Convention will be hosted by Jiang Yang.

"As a Jiangyang person, thank you very much for your vote." Zhang Chong said with a smile.

He said thank you, but his tone was neither salty nor weak.

Hilde never thought that he would get Zhang Zhong's feedback for his gesture of kindness. He pointed to the seat in the front row and said, "That's where you are. Please forgive me for being excused."

Zhang nodded, "Thank you."

After Hilde left, Zhang Zhong went to look for a seat, and when he found his seat, he really looked at the person next to him in surprise.

"Mr. Linde, are you sitting here too?"

Lin De didn't know what he was thinking at first. He stared at the empty stage in a daze. He heard Zhang Zhong's voice and came back to his senses. He was also very surprised, "Are you sitting here too? I was wondering who was next to me. As you can see, before you came, there was no one on either side of me."

Zhang Zhong sat down with a smile, "It seems that the two of us are destined."

"That's true. I heard that you came yesterday? When I was walking around the exhibition area today, I wondered if I could meet you." Linde said.

"I just finished my signing tour in Europe. I was a little tired when I arrived in Wellington, so I went back to rest. And as you know, it is still winter in Wellington. I have to adjust not only the jet lag, but also the temperature difference."

"We are all the same. The air in Wellington makes me unable to adapt. Of course, the situation should be much better next year. Whether it is Chicago or Jiangyang, at least there is no need to adapt to seasonal changes." Speaking of next year's World Science Fiction Convention, Lin De added another sentence, "Actually, I hope that Jiangyang can host the World Science Fiction Convention next year. I have been to Chicago too many times, and there is nothing new about it. You are from Jiangyang, do you have any interesting places to recommend?" ?”

Zhang Zhong patted his head, "You've stumped me, just as you have been to Chicago too many times, I have lived in Jiangyang for so many years, I am afraid there is no way to introduce you to the local scenery like a tourist holy place. But the summer in Jiangyang is hotter than New York, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"It's okay, I'm a person who likes summer."

While the two were talking, a man with a white beard came over.

The person came with a big belly and a typical European and American wine nose. As soon as he came over, he greeted Linde with a smile, "Linde, good evening."

After saying hello, I saw Zhang Zhong again, and said hello to Zhang Zhong again, "pz, very nice to meet you."

Perhaps seeing Zhang Zhong's confused eyes, the bearded man introduced himself, "My name is Llorente."

Zhang Zhong searched for the name Llorente in his mind, and then looked at the greasy middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise.

Llorente is no unknown, he is a frequent visitor to the Hugo Awards, has won three Hugo Awards, two short stories, a novella.

However, in Zhang Zhong's impression, Llorente should be a personable diamond kingpin, because of his handsome looks, he has gained a lot of female fans, and he was even rumored to have an affair with Penny Austin.

Of course, there must be a reason for the groundless rumors.

The reason why Llorente and Penny Austin had an affair was mainly due to the fact that Penny Austin once wrote a science fiction novel in which the male lead was Llorente and the female lead was Penny.

And apart from the name, the description of the characters in it only refers to the science fiction writer Llorente.

It's just that I didn't expect that in just a few years, Llorente turned into this appearance, almost as fat as two people.

"I'm glad to see you too." After a moment of surprise, Zhang Zhong smiled, responded to Llorente, and asked, "Are you just sitting here?"

Llorente nodded, "Thanks to the organizing committee for arranging me with two such great fantasy writers. I think I can sleep well tonight."

Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, he was quite surprised by Llorente's speaking style.However, Linde was not surprised at all. He was not familiar with Llorente, but he had met him several times, so he knew that Llorente was a supporter.

It was fate that the three of them sat together, so they chatted with each other.

Llorente is not only the king of cheers, but also the king of enthusiasm. Once he came, Zhang Zhong and Linde chatted much more easily. There was no need to actively find topics, Llorente could always find topics to chat on.

The three of them chatted for a while, when they suddenly heard a charming female voice from above their heads, "Please make room for the three of you."

The three of them looked up at the same time, and Zhang Zhong was almost blinded by the deep V that caught his eyes.

Penny Austin was standing next to Llorente, looking down at the three of them.

Although it is winter in Wellington, the temperature inside the theater is quite high, but even so, the three men are wearing suits.On the other hand, Penny Austin wore a dark black dress, the legs were spread almost to the waist, and the neckline on the chest was almost as low as the navel.

Wine red long curly hair, paired with flaming red lips, the visual effect is particularly strong.

Llorente looked up, then lowered his head instantly.

Zhang Zhong noticed Llorente's reaction, he seemed a little afraid of the woman standing next to him.

Or did Linde speak first, "Miss Austin, what is your position?"

Penny Austin pointed to the place next to Linde, "It's by your side, dear Linde."

The three men understood, leaned back at the same time, and retracted their legs as far as possible, leaving a passage for Penny Austin to pass.

However, Zhang Chong was a little slanderous. After all, the location here is a group of four, and there are passages on both sides. It stands to reason that Penny Austin can pass through the passage on Linde's left, which is more convenient.

Petunia Austin walked over slowly holding the hem of her skirt, and the three men didn't dare to move. They didn't want to hear that they had something to do with Penny Austin in the news tomorrow.
