Chapter 158: Shame

On the way back in a taxi, the two sat side by side in the back.

Lin Weidong has been looking at Anne affectionately through the rearview mirror.

I have to admit that a woman like Anne is not good-looking, and even a little ugly from some angles, but it often makes Lin Weidong feel ambiguous and ambiguous.

When Anne is not smiling, her expression is always indifferent and cold, but Lin Weidong can feel the undercurrent of the tide in her heart, maybe at an unpredictable time, she will suddenly be fierce and suffocate you.

There is always a little bit of fallout, a little bit of innocence, when you laugh, you will look fragile, and when you don't laugh, you are often silent.

But Lin Weidong knows very well that when she is in bed, she is a strange plant that will bloom with blurry flowers and exude a spicy atmosphere.

Anne was very uncomfortable by Lin Weidong, so she asked him, "Lonely City, why are you staring at me like this?

Lin Weidong nodded: "Yes, it has changed and become more beautiful." ”

Anne smiled and said, "You can't stand this mouth if you don't praise people for a day, right?"

Lin Weidong said seriously: "No, I'm telling the truth. ”

Even if Anne knew that Lin Weidong was patting her on the back, she still felt happy, because in this world, no woman would hate a man she liked for complimenting her appearance.

When eating dinner, after drinking some red wine, Lin Weidong was dizzy, coupled with the running around for several days, he didn't rest much, and he was sleepy after eating, so he went back to the room and lay down.

After Anne cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she saw that Lin Weidong was not in the living room, so she also entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with him.

After chatting for a while, Anne asked Lin Weidong: "Lonely City, what kind of girlfriend do you want to find in the future?"

Lin Weidong thought for a while and said calmly: "Sister Anne, I already have a girlfriend now."

Anne said, "I know, I want to ask you what kind of woman you are going to find to be your lifelong partner." ”

Lin Weidong said seriously: "It would be best if I could meet a woman like Sister Anne and you." ”

Anne smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are very handsome and excellent, and you will definitely meet a girl many times better than me in the future, sister, I can't do it, old man." ”

In this case, a normal man definitely knows what he needs to do next, so, as before, everything happens naturally......

There was an air conditioner in the house, and after Lin Weidong released his vitality for a while, his body was a little weak and he felt a little cold, so Anne covered her with a towel quilt, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When Lin Weidong woke up again, it was already daytime, and Anne was no longer in bed.

Lin Weidong thought that he went to bed too early last night, and before he had time to take a shower, he took his clothes and pants and went to the bathroom.

After a while, Lin Weidong came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and received a call from Du Yuhang.

Du Yuhang on the other end of the phone asked him: "Lonely City, have you arrived in Shanghai?"

Lin Weidong said: "I arrived last night, I was too sleepy to tell you, what time will the signing be held?"

Du Yuhang said: "At two o'clock this afternoon, Wenhua Book City. ”

"Okay," Lin Weidong nodded, and then asked, "Yuhang, tell me, how is my book selling?"

Although "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" is Lin Weidong's third book published, he still feels bottomless in his heart, because this book is not like "E Network Love" and "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", which has the help of the online platform under the banyan tree.

Therefore, strictly speaking, how many books "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" can sell in the early stage depends entirely on Lin Weidong's personal appeal in the market.

In other words, if Lin Weidong has few loyal readers, the book "Eighteen-year-old Sky", without the promotion under the banyan tree, will definitely not be able to reach the sales volume of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", and may not even reach the sales volume of "E Network Love".

It's no wonder that Lin Weidong feels worried, after all, this is the first time he has skipped under the banyan tree and collaborated directly with the publishing house, and if he messes up, his next book may not be published so easily.

Du Yuhang was silent for a moment, and Fang said: "The current sales results are not ideal, the first release of 50,000 copies, and now more than ten days have passed, and only about 10,000 copies have been sold. ”

Hearing Du Yuhang's words, Lin Weidong's heart was a little cold, he was really afraid of something, it seemed that he still overestimated his popularity.

Because Lin Weidong originally thought that he was now a somewhat famous writer, even if the number of fans was far less than Han Han, it should not be a few grades worse.

But Lin Weidong didn't expect that the sales of Han Han's first book "Triple Gate" were about to exceed 1 million copies, and his new book "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" only sold more than 10,000 copies......

Du Yuhang seemed to feel Lin Weidong's disappointment over the phone, so he comforted him and said: "Lonely City, don't worry too much about the sales of the new book, as long as we do a good job of publicity and hold a few more signing sessions, with your popularity and the quality of this book, the results will definitely get better." ”

Regarding the promotion of the book "Eighteen-year-old Sky", Lin Weidong felt that he was also responsible, so he swore to Du Yuhang: "Okay, don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate with the publicity activities of the publishing house!"

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Lin Weidong's third "Eighteen-year-old Sky" was grandly launched by the People's Publishing House, and the first signing session was held in Shanghai Wenhua Book City.

When Lin Weidong and Du Yuhang walked into the bookstore accompanied by the staff, there were already many people in the bookstore, and most of them were holding a copy of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" in their arms, waiting for Lin Weidong's arrival.

Sharp-eyed book lovers saw the people walking in at the gate, completely forgetting the rule that bookstores should not make loud noises, and excitedly exclaimed, "It's a lonely city!!"

"Really? Which is the Lonely City?"

"That...... The most handsome one!"

The other book lovers who heard this shout didn't care about keeping quiet, and hurriedly looked at the door, and sure enough, they saw Lin Weidong, who was nearly one meter seven or eight tall, as well as Du Yuhang and others, and suddenly, the hall was boiling......

"Lonely City, I didn't expect you to be quite popular. Du Yuhang looked at the number of readers, there were already one or two hundred readers on the scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's over. ”

Seeing so many readers appear on the scene, Lin Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and responded modestly.

Seeing that the readers were already in an uproar, Lin Weidong raised his index finger, put it to his mouth, and said in his gentle voice: "Shh...... Everyone, please be quiet and don't disturb anyone else who is reading. “

Although Lin Weidong's voice was soft, it was unexpectedly clear and spread to every corner of the hall.

The fans who heard the sound also fell silent, thinking of being ashamed of the loud noise they had made for seeing their idols.

"Thank you for your support, let's start the book signing, but keep quiet. Lin Weidong said with a humble smile.

At the subsequent signing party, many of the people waiting for the autograph were underage readers, most of them were still in middle school or high school, waiting in line, quietly watching Lin Weidong, and whispering to friends next to them.

In addition, Lin Weidong also found many "old" readers at the scene, holding the old books "E-Net Love" and "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" in their hands, waiting for Lin Weidong's signature message in a long one-line queue.
