Zhang Xiaoli is a white-collar beauty, and she likes to hold her mobile phone and swipe Weibo between work and work on weekdays.

More than a month ago, when she was scrolling through Weibo, a female classmate from college gave her a new book, saying that this book was very interesting, so that she could read it if she had time.

This book is "Love in the Neck Period", which was serialized on Weibo.

After Zhang Xiaoli found this book on Weibo, after reading a few articles, she was amused and giggled, and she was immediately a fan. From that day on, like other Weibo netizens, whenever she had free time, she would pick up her mobile phone and swipe Weibo to see if Sun Hao, the hateful author, had any updates.

While waiting for the update, Zhang Xiaoli occasionally discussed the characters in the book with netizens, and even discussed the subsequent storyline development.

Zhang Xiaoli usually has a lot of pressure at work, but during the period of chasing "Love in the Neck Period", she feels a lot more relaxed and cheerful.

It's a pity that such days are too short, and "Love in the Neck Period" is finally over.

When she learned the news, Zhang Xiaoli was depressed for a while, but fortunately, the author soon announced that the book would be published as a physical book, and announced the date of the sale.

Zhang Xiaoli secretly made up her mind that when the physical book "Love in the Neck Period" was put on sale, she must buy a copy, and occasionally flip through it to reminisce about this happy day.

On December 15, the physical version of "Love in the Neck Period" was officially put on sale in major bookstores.

This day happened to be the weekend, Zhang Xiaoli got up early, after breakfast, dressed up a little and went out, there is a large bookstore not far from her home, buy books early, and ask friends to go to a movie.

Before arriving at the door of the bookstore, Zhang Xiaoli saw a large number of people queuing up there, and the staff of the store were scrambling to maintain order outside.

When she looked closer, she noticed that most of the people in line were girls, and there were a few boys. Zhang Xiaoli wondered a little in her heart: Could it be that there is a famous writer in the bookstore who is signing and selling books? But I haven't heard any news before!

This thought just turned in Zhang Xiaoli's mind, and she didn't care about it anymore, anyway, she didn't come to sign and sell books, she came specifically for "Love in the Neck Period".

As soon as she was about to walk in the door, a female staff member of the bookstore came up to her and asked, "This young lady, are you here to buy the book "Love in the Neck Period"?"

"yes. Zhang Xiaoli nodded.

The female staff member said apologetically, "I'm sorry, then you have to go to the queue, these people are here to buy this book." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoli was taken aback, she knew that this book was very popular on the Internet, but she didn't expect that after the physical version of this book came out, it would sell so well, she looked at the long queue dozens of meters away, and looked entangled, "There are so many people buying it?"

"If you plan to buy it, you better hurry up and queue up, hesitate for a while, it is estimated that the line will be long again. The female staff kindly reminded.

Zhang Xiaoli was stunned, and it took a while to wake up, and she hurriedly ran to the back to line up. While queuing, she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to her friend, saying that she couldn't watch a movie today.

Anyway, I'm going to have to buy this book today.

Similar scenes are playing out in countless bookstores......

……

In the Chinese Publishing House, in the office of the first editor, Li Zehao had a solemn expression on his face, sat down for a while, stood up again for a while, and walked around the office in circles.

"Teacher Li, don't turn around, my head is dizzy. A young editor, Xiao He, said jokingly.

Another slightly older editor, Lao Jiang, said with a smile: "Today is the first day of new books on the shelves, and Mr. Li is anxious!"

"At this time, it's useless for us to be anxious, we have done everything we can, and we can only resign ourselves to fate. Xiao He sighed.

There are three editors in the first edition, Li Zehao is the minister, and the other two are department employees, in the past few days, for the physical book "Love in the Neck Period" on the shelves, he has been so busy that he can't catch his back feet, and he is about to fly, and today the book is finally on the shelves, and the body is resting, but the mental torture is coming again.

It's boiling!

Li Zehao walked around a few times, suddenly stopped, and said, "Xiao He, why don't you make a few calls to the bookstore and ask to see how the sales of this book are?"

Xiao He and Lao Jiang glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xiao He stretched out his hand and pointed to the clock hanging on the wall, and said to Li Zehao: "Teacher Li, it's only 10:15 now, many bookstores open at 10 o'clock, and it's only been 15 minutes until now, and these 15 minutes are not enough for other bookstores to clean!"

"Teacher Li, don't be too nervous, this book will definitely be fine. Lao Jiang couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him, "You sit down and rest, you have been spinning continuously for the past few days, don't boil your body down." ”

Li Zehao nodded and sat down in the chair, he was really tired in the past few days, although he had the help of Xiao He and Lao Jiang, he still couldn't let go, and he followed every link in person, until he confirmed that there was no problem at all, and then he put his mind at ease.

But there is no problem with the shelf link, it doesn't mean that the sales can go up, so this early in the morning, Li Zehao raised the heart he had just put down to his throat again.

The sales of the book "Love in the Neck Period" are now not only related to his reputation in the industry, but also related to whether he can stay in the Chinese publishing house in the future.

You know, he made a bet with Qian Ronghui in front of President Feng Ruisheng that if the book failed to sell 1.5 million copies in the first month, he, Li Zehao, would take the initiative to submit a letter of resignation!

It's not that he can't resign, and it's not that he can't live without the Chinese Publishing House, but he can't leave under such circumstances, otherwise, where will he Li Zehao's face go? How can he be mixed in the book publishing industry in the future?

So, this time, he must not lose!

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zehao's mind became even more chaotic, he stood up and said, "I'll go to the bookstore." ”

He still can't rest assured.

Before Li Zehao went out, the phone in the office suddenly rang, Xiao He quickly picked up the phone, listened to it for a while, and shouted in disbelief: "What did you say? What did you say?!
