Chapter 452, in order to pick up girls, hurry up and publish the book
Here, it's still in Los Angeles, and autumn has arrived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the cold wind is not enough, the residents of every household are also wearing thick clothes, and the residents of Culvercheng have bought new clothes. At the same time, as the New Year approaches, many big festivals will follow, with Halloween coming first, followed by Thanksgiving, and then Christmas and the New Year, which is almost side by side. As soon as the festive atmosphere arrives, every household has a feeling of joy.
"Mom~I'm going out~"
"Dad, see you later!"
At the 15th Vinton Street house, Hannah and Oscar walked out of the house one after the other. Both siblings have grown up, at least after this winter, Oscar will be able to get a driver's license he can't wait for, and Hannah will also step into high school and become a glorious and great world savior - Alice Language.
The boy was dressed in a jacket and denim, and the girl was dressed in the same way, one with dense black hair, the other with fluttering red hair, and just a few steps out of the house, when the elder brother stepped onto a mountain bike.
Hannah got on the back seat and smiled, "Hehe, Oscar, when you get your driver's license tomorrow, this bike will be completely mine." ”
"Look at you!" Oscar grinned, Ding Ling started up, and headed towards the city: "If you really wait until I get my driver's license, you must be taking my co-pilot's life, leaving my brother and my BMW car not to sit, riding a bicycle by yourself and then following behind, what is the matter!"
"Oh, Oscar, you've decided?" Hannah sat in the back seat with ease, "Want to buy a little BMW?"
The speed of the mountain bike was fast, and Oscar was not in a hurry to answer his sister's question, and the Smiths and Smiths from House Eleven opposite were both returning. A BMW and a Mercedes Benz rumbled towards their English-style bungalow.
"If you really want to buy a car, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome. Oscar frowned, thinking of the area of his parking lot, he couldn't help but say: "There is a Cadillac at home, and my sister's Bugatti is now parked in the UK, but when I come back, I will definitely have to occupy another place, I will buy a car next year, and then you will buy a car next year, and the family will not be able to park." ”
If this is the case, of course my family knows how big my own area is. The Wang family didn't build a huge mansion for big parties like Roger Lawrence, and parking four cars was a huge burden for House Fifteen.
Even if you can barely let go, the feeling of visual depression is a very annoying thing.
"Then get Ellie out of the house!" called Hannah from the back seat, "when she graduates from Eton, she will be an eighteen-year-old woman!
The mountain bike has entered the city and is heading towards the siblings' destination. Oscar laughed up to the sky, the old girl's proposal was really popular.
"I think my sister will think the same way, she has complained more than once that she is delayed in school, Hannah, do you believe that she doesn't plan to go to college at all?"
"I really believe this~"
The city is bustling with pedestrians, and Hannah rides behind her brother and looks at the sidewalk. Halloween is approaching, and all kinds of quirky props and costumes are starting to be bought in shop windows.
"It's been another four years when she goes to college, and it's too late for the president of Stanford to hire her as a professor of computer science, so she can't be so ...... Oh, be careful!"
With a creak, Oscar pulled the car in front of his destination.
The Emilia bookstore is overcrowded again today, and for no other reason, because Alice's book campaign officially starts today.
No, the sisters had just gotten out of the car when they heard a young man in front of them complaining: "I said that the door would open at half past eight, but it was really stuck at half past eight, couldn't these bastards let us in earlier?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, they were not in a hurry, but there were really a lot of customers with similar thoughts.
"I'm a big fan of Alice Wong, everyone's got it!"
A tall and thin young man from the university showed a small notebook, which was densely pasted and stuffed with many shiny things.
"Jurassic Park's first-edition, English-English, and Japanese first-edition commemorative cards!"Scarlet Fairy Tales' first-edition, English-ready, and Swedish first-edition commemorative cards!"After School": Japanese and English editions, commemorative cards! Have you seen all of these? "Ghost Record" premiere movie ticket stubs! "Alien II"......"
It's really funny that people are shouting God, because Hannah has already done this, and they actually met a die-hard fan of the old lady in front of the bookstore?
"Hey, hey, hey, you're just entertaining, I'm an encyclopedia here!"
The results were good, and the teasing meeting began, and a short and fat young man who was not convinced said loudly: "Have you ever bought Alice's router? Have you ever bought Alice's Winodows system? Have you ever been to Alice's shopping mall in Ginza, Japan? These are the things that die-hard fans should do!"
The tall and thin young man paused: "What? Alice has a shopping mall in Ginza? Really? Why don't I know?"
This sentence immediately attracted laughter from many people around them, and the two brothers and sisters of the Wang family watched in amazement.
"You don't even know that Alice has invested in real estate in Japan, and you're embarrassed to say that you're a big fan of hers?" is an office worker in a suit in his early thirties.
"Haha~ Outdated buddy, I'm afraid you don't know yet, British newspapers have reported many times in the morning, do you know about Alice's new round of actions in the UK?"
"I really admire, she is only more than sixteen years old this year, if my daughter ......" This is a middle-aged man who is forty years old.
Hannah patted Oscar on the shoulder: "Brother, is this the so-called dark under the lamp? No matter how famous a person is, if he treats her as a person around him, the perspective is inevitably special?"
Oscar squinted at the middle-aged man who lamented that the old lady was not his daughter: "A group of lovers of "Lolita"! Damn, by the way, the old lady also loves to watch "Lolita", what is this!?"
It didn't matter what it was, because half past eight finally arrived, and the long-waiting customers suddenly entered the bookstore. Of course, as one of the largest bookstores in downtown Los Angeles, it has a lot of new books coming out every month, but the crowd doesn't come for the bestsellers, they flock to the new book promotion section.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!" the middle-aged man in his forties looked at the roll-up banner: "Plan a 500,000-word children's fantasy! Haha, it's really Alice, to write such a powerful story!"
That's right, this year is the first day of promotion for Alice's new book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Although according to Bantam's official claim, the writer himself has only written two-thirds of the full text so far, that is also called nearly 400,000 words completed. Isn't it easy to take a little bit of it from so much and then make it into a sample booklet and distribute it to the public?
"But isn't this cover a bit ...... Too abstract?" A mother-aged lady led her daughter to stand in front of a poster with a book cover: "He's Harry Potter? ”
The cover of the book is unmistakably depicted as a boy with eyes riding a broomstick through a doorway from top to bottom, trying to grab a small golden ball next to him.
"But broomsticks!" the daughter, who was eight years old, cried out very cheerfully: "Harry is a little wizard, he can fly!"
At today's book promotion meeting, many of the readers present were elementary school students, and the sound of twittering was everywhere, making the scene as if they were returning to the primary school classroom.
"The boy who never dies! Hah! The boy has a great life!" this is a twelve-year-old boy, holding the first page of the trial book, screaming, startling the girl next to him who is calling a broomstick.
"Jamie, be quiet, don't yell. Didn't you see that you had scared that little sister out, and apologize!" So his mother immediately leaned in.
"Oh, hey girl," said the young man to the girl, "have you read the first chapter? Do you know why this kid is so good that he doesn't die?
"Hmm...... The ......" girl touched her head: "I haven't read yet, but he can fly on a broomstick, so ......"
"What!?broom!?will fly!?where!?"
In this way, a boy and a girl in a corner of the bookstore started a conversation, and the more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, and it seemed that they would soon be able to exchange phone numbers.
"Good guy, I didn't think it just now, why are there more and more people now?" Oscar began to feel unhappy, after all, he was already an adult who was about to get a driver's license, and there were a large group of bear children of elementary school age around him, coupled with the various shouts of parents, it really couldn't be noisy anymore!
"Isn't that great? In this moment, Hannah had already received two sample booklets, and happily gave one to her brother: "Mom often tells us that women and children have the best money. Isn't this kind of child-oriented fantasy novel more a bedtime book for many people? ”
"Oh, my name is Jamie, Jamie Hawk!" At the same time, not far away, the boy really asked for the girl's number: "This is our number, ah, hey, do you want to read it faster than anyone else?"
With a long whistle, Oscar witnessed this scene: "Awesome, this kid, what did the old lady say?
Hannah stood aside and smiled lightly: "It seems that I need to urge Weiwei to tell her to hurry up and publish the book~"
