Chapter 266, Good News, Bad News
Seeing that the call was from the UK, Ye Kai knew who it was, and picked it up and said directly: "Editor-in-chief Kom, good morning." ”
Ye Kai had long remembered the time difference in the world, and Britain was seven hours behind Huaxia, so don't look at Huaxia, it was almost dinner, and it didn't take long for the British to get up from the bed.
"Hahaha, good morning Mr. Ye. Kom laughed, his words filled with joy.
"Editor-in-Chief Kom is so happy, is today the day your company pays salaries?"
"I may be happier with the salary, it's about your book, Mr. Ye, I have good news and bad news, which one are you going to listen to first?"
"Then please tell me the bad news first, and the good news should be saved for the best, won't you?"
Looking around the restaurant, Ye Kai pushed away the chair and whispered to Zhang Zifeng, "I'll go out and answer the phone." ”
Zhang Zifeng nodded.
She watched Ye Kai fluently talk to others in English, and while admiring, she wondered if the British publishing house had any good news for Brother Ye?
Ye Kai spoke too fast, Zhang Zifeng didn't understand many words, he only knew the editor-in-chief, good news, bad news, and the like.
The cake was not fragrant for a while, and his eyes followed Ye Kai's figure out of the restaurant.
"Well, the bad news is that Mr. Ye, your vacation is over, and I think you need to come to England to do something for this book. ”
Outside the restaurant, the sun was temporarily covered by dark clouds, leaving a large area of cool land, and a gust of wind blew, although it was a little hot, but the natural wind was still very comfortable.
Ye Kai thought that he was down, but now he is nervous again, is there a reversal in this matter? Looking at the way Kem is now, the sales volume in the past two days should not be low.
"Okay, so what's the good news? I'm looking forward to it. ”
Comm laughed and said, "I will definitely not disappoint your expectations, the good news is that Harry Potter's sales have increased dramatically in the past two days, can you guess how much sales will be in one day?"
Ye Kai thought about the number that Comm had told him before, and guessed: "Eight thousand?"
"Less. ”
He guessed according to the double of the first day, is it still missing? Ye Kai was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to say a number: "If eight thousand is still less, then ...... Ten thousand?"
"NO, NO, NO, Mr. Ye, please make a bold guess...... Forget it, let me tell you directly, the sales volume of the day before yesterday has reached 13,000, and yesterday's sales have risen to 24,000, Mr. Ye, please allow me to congratulate you!"
"Twenty-four?"
"That's right, twenty-four!"
Ye Kai took a deep breath, stabilized his excitement and asked, "Editor-in-chief Kom, what do I need to do in the UK?"
"We need you to go on the show to promote Harry Potter, reveal a little bit about what's next, and hold a book signing to boost the book's sales...... Come on, you're welcome to London. ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll be in London sooner. ”
Ye Kai didn't know what to say, he originally wanted to give up.
Especially after so many people on the Internet accused themselves of not going abroad to publish books.
Of course, he knows that most of the people on the Internet are keyboard warriors and don't know anything about these things, but his own failures and countless accusations have made him self-examine for the past two days.
After receiving this call, the confidence of not knowing where to hide has returned.
I knew, I knew it was a good book, it took so long to work hard, I revised it no less than five times, and after the book was released, I experienced an unprecedented low ebb, and now I finally see the light of day.
At this moment, even the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the dazzling sun reappeared in the sky.
Four thousand becomes twenty thousand.
Ye Kai put away his mobile phone, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, so he returned to the restaurant with a smile and sat down, put on gloves to peel lobsters, and hummed a small tune.
"Brother Ye, what's the good news?" asked Zhang Zifeng.
"It's a book thing, and now sales are up, and it's not small, so of course it's good news. ”
"That's great. Zhang Zifeng clenched his hands into fists to cheer Ye Kai, and his eyes narrowed with laughter again.
Ye Kai found that Zhang Zifeng looked like a little girl in an island country when she laughed, and when she smiled, she could always poke at a man's weakness when she squinted, which was so cute.
threw the peeled crayfish into Zhang Zifeng's bowl again.
"Huh?" Zhang Zifeng saw the lobster in the bowl with a bitter face, "I don't want my brother." ”
"You're changing your face so quickly. Ye Kai was amused, hahaha laughed, when he was in a good mood, it was interesting to see anything.
Zhang Zifeng gradually let go, not as nervous as before, eating spicy crayfish and thinking to himself, it turns out that Brother Ye's life is as approachable as in the show.
The crayfish was finished, but there were still lamb chops, octopus, and steamed phoenix feet in soy sauce on the table......
The phoenix feet here are particularly delicious, they are very soft and melt in the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste that leaves a fragrant taste on the lips and teeth.
Ye Kai felt that in this place in Rongcheng, these snacks were sometimes much better than the main meal, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't pack them, Ye Kai would definitely have to take some back to eat when playing games at night
He had almost quit, but the return of unlimited firepower during this time hooked his desire to play games.
Zhang Zifeng forgot the original intention of losing weight, and seemed to have forgotten to record the show at night, and solve these snacks and dishes on the table with Ye Kai.
Few people can resist the temptation of good food.
Ye Kai saw Zhang Zifeng eating salmon, and thought with a dark smile: It's really fragrant.
There were more than two hundred people, and it was very worthwhile to be able to eat these things, and at six o'clock the two walked out of the restaurant, and although the sun had set, the sky was still very bright.
The lights of the covered bridge came on.
Zhang Zifeng took out his mobile phone to look at the time, looked at the covered bridge in the distance, and said reluctantly: "Brother, I'm going back." ”
"Uh-huh, don't take a walk, just had dinner and walked around for a while. ”
"Well, that... Can you give me your new book, I really want to read it. ”
"Actually, I want to see it too. ”
"En?" Zhang Zifeng looked up at Ye Kai in surprise, what do you mean by this?
"Why are you so surprised? I'm not in England. The sample book they sent me hasn't arrived yet, what time are you leaving tomorrow? I'll go to the logistics company and ask, and if it arrives, I'll give it to you. ”
"It's about two o'clock in the afternoon, right?"
Zhang Zifeng is not sure, these things were arranged by his mother.
However, as long as the program is recorded at night, the plane that leaves the next day will definitely be late, and the current program recording is sometimes a few hours long, and no one knows when they will be able to go back to the hotel to rest.
is like the singer Ye Kai participated in before, when he went back to the hotel to sleep at two or three o'clock.
