"Boss, do you have any books to sell?"
"Nope."
"Boss, do you have "Triple Gate" for sale?"
"Nope."
"Boss, you have ...... here"
"Nope."
"I'm asking, is there a "100,000 Whys" for sale?"
"No...... Yes, yes, yes! ”
……
He Wei, the owner of the bookstore, came in the most uncomfortable few days, like the above dialogue, he didn't have to answer how many times, and there were no two words that he practiced an instinctive reaction.
Opening a store to sell books, and selling albums and records is the same thing, whoever is popular sells whose works. Originally, at the beginning, he found that Yu Bai had great potential at a glance, so he was quite bold to hoard hundreds of copies of "Triple Gate", and then the signing party was held in front of his store, and hundreds of books were dumped in one night, which once made him think that his decision was correct.
But the good luck didn't last long, and almost in the blink of an eye, negative news, accusations, and boycotts about Yu Bai spread overwhelmingly.
Let He Wei not have the slightest preparation to parry, this kind of thing he has never encountered, but the previous situation is at most to buy goods, not sell, and never be hacked like this halfway through the fire.
It's just a matter that has been decided, and it can't be good, so he disposed of these books to dealers in other regions through relationships overnight. After dealing with the big trouble in his heart, He Wei, who was complacent and thought that this move had avoided losses, waited until the store opened the next day, but he was directly dumbfounded.
Because Yu Bai, who was full of abuse and accusations a moment ago, was whitewashed every minute, and the associated effect was that those who knew him and didn't know him wanted to see this person and his works who set off a war of words in the media and chaos in the literary world.
In just half a day, more than hundreds of people came to the bookstore to buy Yu Bai's "Triple Gate", and he was dead at that time. Fortunately, he still has a relationship with the manufacturer, they are all old friends for many years, and it is still possible to buy some goods urgently. However, the phone call was called, but the reply was no, and Yu Bai did not have a single book.
This demerit surprised him!
Then he remembered that he himself knew to avoid risks and sell urgently, and others were not stupid.
The key is here, the people who have been made up of this back and forth are really worried that another wolf is coming.
However, a day passed, two days passed, and it was not until the third day that there was still an endless stream of people coming to buy, and it was only then that He Wei realized that he had just "sent away" the God of Wealth who made money.
……
On the 15th day of the eighth month of the solar calendar, Fu Yingying was very happy, even to the point of cheering and shouting, because he had just received news that Yu Bai's third book "Sadness Flows Into a River" was going to be put on sale, and just listening to the name gave people a special feeling.
So early in the morning, she came to the bookstore with her best friend, Huang Ya, to buy it.
But what he didn't expect was that when he first came to the bookstore, he saw a long queue, and what she didn't expect was that after waiting in line for two hours, when it was her turn, the reply she got was that it was already sold out.
Although she didn't buy it, she didn't get angry, but was very happy, because the person she liked was liked by so many people at the same time, could there be anything happier than this?
It's just that what Fu Yingying doesn't know is that anyone who buys the first batch of "Sadness" will not only get a sad and abnormal story, but also a postscript testimonial, which can be regarded as a statement.
The content inside is simple, even to the point of being clear at a glance.
"I'm Yu Bai, first of all, I am very grateful to everyone for liking me and the stories I write. This book is a new attempt for me, and it is also the last book I wrote in Yu Bai, so far. The end of the world continues, you and I are separated, if we are in the next life, we can still see each other. ”
This statement...... This sentence is written by Yu Bai and printed on the back, and those who have read it are already filled with Yi Yao and Qi Ming's sadness, so when they see this statement, they can't hold themselves.
So this is another heavyweight news after Yu Bai began to attract national attention from "Triple Gate".
Yu Bai has sealed the pen!
This news continues to spread along with the continuous increase in the sales performance of "Sadness Flows Into a River".
Until, occupy the major pages of the country again!
But whether it is for others, or people who care about him, or people who like him, they can see from the last four lines that Yu Bai seems to be still there, but he may not appear again, but how to reproduce it is a headache.
……
Cao Qianchen, as the editor-in-chief of Hunan Qianchen Publishing House, is the general manager of Changsam City of Zhongnan Publishing and Media Group.
He can be said to be quite successful, but behind the success is naturally the same price, if the return to Changsam City is the first step, then the integration of publishing resources here is the second step, until the entire Hunan Province is decided by him Cao Qianchen.
From his strong return to controlling the entire publishing industry in Changsam City by himself, it can be described as smooth sailing. Just when he thought that it was easy to clean up the enemies of the year, and thought that Wang Tansheng would come to the door to ask him in person, he found that all the spearheads pointed at Wang Tansheng and Yu Bai suddenly turned around.
This result naturally made all his measures and plans fail, not only that, but what made him even more incredible was that a newcomer in the literary world could have such a great ability to mobilize such a group of people to speak for him.
For a while, even Cao Qianchen was not allowed to allow Yu Bai's whereabouts, and for the sake of safety, he could only suspend the offensive and make a decision until the investigation was clear.
However, for Cao Qianchen, he really doesn't want to wait for a moment, so the next time he makes another move, he will definitely not give the other party any room and opportunity to fight back.
……
Qiaoping County, Zhongzhou City.
For Zhao Xueman, from the day Yu Bai went to Changsam City, she was in anxiety.
This anxiety is inexplicable, and even if she knows that Yu Bai is promoting her new book, she will inevitably be worried. And this worry has become more and more intense as time goes by, and she has been thinking about him since the night Yu Bai rushed to Changsam City.
Knowing that he was bored, he kept holding back his sleepiness to chat with him, but the text messages were sent back one by one, which was still a little unsatisfying, and Zhao Xueman eagerly wanted to make a phone call.
After all, the two have not separated the two places in a practical sense from the confirmation of their relationship to their love. But soon she thought that Yu Bai was just going to work, and just left, would it be inappropriate for her to be like this, would it make him disgusted, would it be ......
In short, Zhao Xueman thought a lot about what she didn't have, and finally she decided not to make this call, but just relied on text messages to express her eagerness, until Yu Bai didn't reply to her text messages for a long time, and didn't fall asleep in a trance until she left a good night and a good dream.
At that moment, Zhao Xueman couldn't help but think about the relationship between the two and the future of the two for the first time in history.
In high school, she tried her best to control all other desires, relationships, preferences, and even feelings for the person she liked.
All this didn't get better until after graduation, and she could clearly feel Yu Bai's undisguised love and liking for him, which was not only manifested in every word and deed and every caring action when the two were together, but also in every word and every action he said, as if he knew what he was thinking, as if he knew himself better than himself.
These made Zhao Xueman, who was in love and ignorance, cherish it more and more, so the two of them had a daily date during the holidays, played all the fun places in Qiaoping County, and ate all the delicious things in Qiaoping County, during that time she was happy, so happy that she would think of Yu Bai when she closed her eyes every day, and she was so happy that she would look forward to reunion every day just after separation.
But these are only short-lived after all, just like Yu Bai has what he loves and works hard for it, just like he has the courage that others don't have to apply for a new concept essay and won the first prize. In fact, from the very beginning, when she saw Yu Bai's submission, she understood that Yu Bai would definitely succeed, but she didn't expect this success to come so quickly and so overwhelmingly.
Publish a book and become famous!
In Zhao Xueman's opinion, something so unattainable could not be seen in Yu Bai.
It wasn't until his second book was released and he went to Changsam City to hold a signing party, that Zhao Xueman, who saw him leave, suddenly realized that the two of them had unknowingly opened such a big section.
As Zhao Xueman wrote in his diary, "I made five calls, but he didn't answer, maybe he was really tired, or maybe he was too busy to have time." It's just that...... I really just wanted to hear his voice and talk to him even a few words. ”
Zhao Xueman remembers very clearly that when she called that night, she was overwhelmed with lifeless words and insincere perfunctory. She was puzzled, so she pretended to be angry and wanted to get a little comfort from him, but what did she get? What he got was that he was tired.
Zhao Xueman, who hung up the phone, burst into tears, she wanted to empathize, she wanted to be considerate of him, and even told herself over and over again in her heart that Yu Bai was really too tired to do this.
But the facts tell her that Yu Bai is no longer the Yu Bai of the past, he has a great future, and he has a tomorrow that he can't think of, but what about her? It's still a girl who just graduated from high school, and she's still a girl who doesn't know anything. Seriously, at that moment, she thought about giving up and giving up the relationship between the two.
But this thought was quickly buried in her heart, she was not a person who was willing to give up, and she didn't want her first love to end because of her imagination and arbitrariness.
So after a long hesitation, I called again.
This time, Yu Bai was still so careless, which scared Zhao Xueman nervously, and shouted in succession, only then did he get Yu Bai's words that he asked.
OK...... In the end, Yu Bai said I love you.
But even so, Zhao Xueman still left a little shadow in his heart, whether Yu Bai and I are suitable or not, how long can the two of us go?
Like all girls in love for the first time, Zhao Xueman is also full of unknown fear of the future.
Yu Bai will be back in the afternoon.
So Zhao Xueman wore out her favorite white dress and trapped her hair into Yu Bai's favorite princess head, because she knew that Yu Bai liked her like this.
