Chapter 620. attempt
Lin Yi never thought that Li Shanshan would print out her books and periodicals and publish samples. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After taking this brand-new book, a strong fragrance of books came to his nose, Lin Yi was excited, and couldn't help but look at it, binding, line lock, cover, copyright---
I have to say that as Lin Yi's publishing editor, Li Shanshan is really attentive, and it is not ordinary intentions, almost everything Lin Yi thinks of is put into practice. Among them, Lin Yi has a soft spot for books, and hates the kind of glued books that are easy to crack, so he proposes to lock the spine with a thread, which is more expensive. In addition, in terms of paper selection, Lin Yi hates the kind of bells and whistles colored paper, and does not like the kind of industrial white paper that is too pale, but chooses smoked yellow paper with good flexibility and softness, giving people an old sense of lightness.
Of course, the main thing is the specifics of the book. As mentioned earlier, this book involves a lot of cultural revolution and other sensitive words, and Li Shanshan suggested deleting or revising them during the preliminary review, but Lin Yi did not do so, because in his opinion, these are the contents of the book that must be preserved and are indispensable, so after discussing with Li Shanshan, Lin Yi rejected this proposal.
Now, Li Shanshan has done her best to maintain the original flavor of this book, and it can even be described as "not deleting a word", which is a great respect for Lin Yi and also makes Lin Yi feel her sincerity.
"How's it going, are you satisfied with the book overall?" Li Shanshan took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile.
Lin Yi nodded, "Very satisfied, yes, really satisfied." ”
Li Shanshan smiled, "It's good if you're satisfied." If you think you can, then the book will be printed according to the sample, but due to the high cost, only about 3,000 copies can be printed temporarily...... Depending on the situation, if the follow-up sales volume is large, you can increase the printing. ”
Although Lin Yi is not engaged in publishing and printing, he also knows that today's book publishing work is not easy to do, and it is not easy to sell books.
So Lin Yi nodded without hesitation at all and said, "Of course you can." In fact, the current books of the book and talk, such as Xie Qizhang's "Linglong Wen Copy", "Tea Shop Storytelling", etc., have a small print run, about four or five thousand copies, and as a newcomer, I am very satisfied to be able to publish three thousand copies. ”
"Hehe, it's best if you think like this." Li Shanshan said with a smile.
The two then talked a little more about the sale. After the new book is printed, it will be sold in Xinhua Bookstore and other places, but in Shanghai, because Lin Yi offended the Chu Jiangnan Chu bigwig, it is estimated that it will affect the sales in this area. Because I heard that the relationship between Tianyu Media and Xinhua Bookstore is very good, and "reading activities" were often held in the past, it was easy to ban Lin Yi's little book.
Of course, Lin Yi also understood this, and said without force: "If you can't be in Shanghai, you can change it to Nanjing, there should be no problem over there." Lin Yi thought that he still had a certain amount of influence in Nanjing, even if Chu Jiangnan covered the sky in Shanghai with one hand, could he still cover Nanjing?
……
When I finished talking with Li Shanshan, I saw that the time was almost half past eleven. Lin Yi wanted to invite her to dinner, but when the phone rang, Li Shanshan answered the phone, and then told Lin Yi that next time, she had other things to do.
After sending Li Shanshan out of the café, Lin Yi was thinking about where to go for a little lunch, when his mobile phone rang.
It's an unfamiliar number, and the area belongs to Shanghai.
Lin Yi thought about it, he didn't know many people in Shanghai, except for Qin Zhong, it was that Tang Doudou, who called this?
After answering the phone, a familiar voice came over the phone, "Where have you been, why didn't I see you when I got up?" ”
It turned out to be Tingting calling.
In Lin Yi's opinion, the relationship between himself and Tingting should have ended after the two separated this morning. After all, it's not really a friend. But the other party can't pretend not to know each other when they call. Lin Yi hummed a few words on the phone, saying that he had something to do outside now.
Na Tingting said, "I have to eat no matter what I do, and I can't just drink coffee." ”
Lin Yi was stunned, "How do you know I drink coffee?" ”
looked around, not far away, a girl was holding up her mobile phone and waving to herself, not who Tingting was.
Now it's okay, Lin Yi originally wanted to find an excuse to get rid of it, but it didn't work, so he had to walk over and ask, "Why are you here?" ”
Tingting said, "I'm looking for you." ”
"Looking for me?" Lin Yi frowned.
Tingting was very sensitive, and immediately said, "It's nothing, it's just okay to invite you to a light meal, right?" ”
"This ......" Lin Yi hesitated.
"Don't do this or that--- let's go!" Tingting pulled Lin Yi and left.
……
Follow the path pointed out by Tingting and keep going; Although she didn't know the destination, Lin Yi could only follow the direction of her finger and let the driver's eldest brother go west along Zhongshan East Road.
When she drove to a street, Tingting gave another command, "Turn left!" ”
The driver's eldest brother turned on the direction light, and then waited for the red light to turn left, Lin Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Where are you going?" ”
Tingting giggled beside her, and she didn't know what she was laughing at.
After driving along this street for a while, Tingting shouted to let her turn into a community, Lin Yi looked at Tingting very curiously, and Tingting nodded with certainty.
After entering the community, he turned two corners according to Tingting's instructions and stopped at the bottom of a building.
"Okay, get out of the car now......" Lin Yi got out of the car as he said, paid the money, and left.
After seeing the taxi leave, Tingting said again, "Close your eyes now......
Although Lin Yi didn't understand it very much, it was like this anyway, and seeing her eyes wide with her cheeks puffed out, she could only compromise.
After closing her eyes, Tingting grabbed Lin Yi's hand, and then whispered in Lin Yi's ear, "I'm not allowed to open my eyes without notice!" ”
Lin Yi nodded, "What kind of tricks are you doing?" ”
Tingting smiled again, "Hehe, you'll know later." ”
Then Lin Yi felt Tingting's hands slowly leading her forward, and Lin Yi followed forward.
After walking a few steps, Tingting said, "Attention, it's the steps, lift your feet!" Lin Yi raised his feet and walked up the three steps, and Tingting said again, "Okay, stop, wait for me to open the door!" ”
With that, Tingting took Lin Yi to turn right, and then he heard the sound of the door closing.
Walking in a little further, Tingting let go of Lin Yi's hand and pressed his shoulders with both hands, "Sit down, be careful, there's a sofa behind you!" ”
Lin Yi bent his knees slightly, and sure enough, there was a sofa behind him, sitting on it, Tingting still told him uneasily, "Remember, don't open your eyes!" ”
Lin Yi nodded and agreed......
……
Five minutes later, Lin Yi smelled the smell of steak, and the room gradually warmed up, apparently the air conditioner had worked. Lin Yi took off his coat and put it on the sofa, and Tingting's voice came over in time, "Take off your clothes and take off your clothes, don't open your eyes, otherwise I will be very unhappy." When I'm unhappy, I cry, I can't stop crying, if I can't stop you, you're unlucky, if you're unlucky, I'm even more unhappy, and if I'm unhappy, I'm still crying......"
Lin Yi's head was about to explode, so he hurriedly stopped it, "Okay, I won't open my eyes until you tell me." Don't talk about it, your head is big! ”
Tingting grinned at this time, and then Lin Yi heard the sound of things being placed on the table one by one. The dining table is obviously a glass top, and the sound of porcelain colliding with the table top is as crisp as Tingting's voice.
Although his eyes were closed, the photosensitive system still told Lin Yi that the other party turned off the lights in the room, and then heard the sound of playing the guitar. With this simple guitar sound, Tingting said softly, "Okay, you can open your eyes!" ”
Lin Yi opened his eyes and saw that this was a very warm room, and the whole decoration style was not so much a home as a Western restaurant, and it was not right, the Western restaurant should not be so delicate, so it was a wine house.
Two servings of food are placed on the rectangular glass table, one steak with a little fruit salad, and in the center is a three-branch candlestick with three red candles burning on it. There was a bottle of red wine next to the candlestick, and a white cloth was wrapped around the neck of the bottle, and everything looked like a regular wine house, except for the violinist and the waiter in a white shirt and black bow tie.
Tingting, on the other hand, sat next to a high bar, with a high bar stool under her, and at the moment she was playing with her legs folded, holding a guitar in her hand, intently playing.
This is the so-called light meal? It's also a little too extravagant. It seems that there are still many good places to go to the beach.
With some doubts, Lin Yi asked Tingting, "What kind of place is this?" Lin Yi's meaning is obvious, this place is too much like a wine house, but it is obviously in a residential area.
Tingting raised her head and smiled at Lin Yi, her expression a little more reserved. Lin Yi shook his head slightly when he saw her, meaning to ask him not to speak.
Then, she sang the song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" sung by Lin Yi......
"The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door
It has tormented the world
Dreams are cold and tossing and turning all their lives
There are a few more love debts
Such as you default to life and death, etc
Waiting round and round
annual ring
The Futu Pagoda is broken in several layers
Whose soul was broken?
The pain went straight to a broken lamp
The collapsed mountain gate
Let me wait for history to turn around
Waiting for the wine to be mellow and waiting for you to play
A song of guzheng ......"
The voice is crisp and tactful, and the guitar is also played very well, almost professionally, and the overall combination makes people feel a hazy sense of drunkenness.
Lin Yi was a little stunned, he didn't expect Tingting to be able to play the guitar, let alone that she would also sing this song, and play and sing by herself like herself, which is a bit surprising.
What's more, at this moment, Lin Yi understands even if he is a fool that a girl takes the initiative to sing a song you like for you, and in such a romantic place, what is the meaning of it, it is self-evident......
Finally, Tingting finished singing the last lyrics and stopped plucking the strings in her hand. She put her guitar on the bar and smiled shyly at Lin Yi, "Do you like this?" ”
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, although everything was normal, but he just felt that something was wrong, so he nodded blankly, "Well, it's not bad, I like it." But...... What the hell is going on here? ”
Tingting jumped down from the bar stool, the hem of her shirt flicked slightly, placed the guitar in her hand, and said, "Do you want to know why?" Actually, it's very simple, my biggest wish was not to be a movie star, but to be a singer; It's a pity that it backfired, there are too many singers now, and I became an actor in a daze. Because I'm so ashamed, when people ask me what skills I have, I usually don't say that I can play the guitar and sing, because I feel like it's an ideal that I have given up...... But yesterday, your performance touched me and let me know that even if I give up this ideal, I still love music in my bones and in my blood......"
Lin Yi was a little speechless, he didn't expect that he inadvertently showed his hand yesterday, which actually aroused this beauty's enthusiasm for music, which he never expected.
Seeing Lin Yi's stupid appearance, Tingting smiled again, "So in order to thank you, I invited you here...... Although it is a little expensive, it is worth the money, how is the environment here? ”
Lin Yi coughed, looked around, and could say anything, "Not bad, really good." ”
"That's good. I'm afraid you won't like it. After Tingting finished speaking, she brought Lin Yi to the edge of the dining table, pressed her shoulders and asked him to sit down.
"It's a wine house with a homely feel, and only one couple of guests at a time, and the chef will leave through the back door when the guests arrive after the meal is ready......," Tingting said after sitting down, and then pointed to the door behind her.
However, Lin Yi asked a big question, "Is it expensive?" ”
Tingting smiled again, "Don't worry, a meal is only seven or eight thousand yuan, and it is not as expensive as the four bottles of royal salute you bought." ”
mentioned yesterday's high consumption, Lin Yi felt a pain in his flesh. Although he is now a billionaire, he is used to being simple in his bones, and being slaughtered by Qin Zhong's gang is really painful.
Nodding, Lin Yi looked inside the room again, behind the sofa, there was a decorative fireplace, and the fireplace was wrapped in logs with bark, trying to maintain the shape of the Nordic fireplace.
"That's good, don't say it. It's really emotional...... How would you have known there was such a place? ”
Tingting blinked, pursed her lips and said, "If someone opens a store like this, it will be known......"
Lin Yi picked up the bottle of red wine and looked at Bordeaux, France. It's not a particularly good vintage, but it's a good red wine.
After pouring a little bit of each the cup in front of Tingting and himself, Lin Yi said, "Seven or eight dollars is not a small amount, it seems that Shanghai is really a place to burn money...... I'm really embarrassed to let you break the bank. ”
Tingting smiled, her hands on her cheeks, and the red wine greeted the candlelight, casting a red shadow on her face. It also ripples slightly with the fluctuation of the liquor. Let her add a bit of mature charm.
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
Lin Yi took a glass of wine and took a shallow sip, "Hmm." Nice, beautiful! ”
Tingting smiled again, "It's not a lie? ”
"It's true!"
Tingting nodded again, "Well, that'...... Then you can hold me! ”
Lin Yi coughed, almost choked on red wine, and suddenly understood what Tingting wanted to do.
People are beautiful, sing well, and act, but now there is a lack of big guys.
"Hold me!" Tingting's eyes showed a fiery desire, the desire to become famous!
Lin Yi looked at the scene in front of him, a little embarrassed.
This kind of bridge seems to be not uncommon in TV and movies, but it is the first time I have encountered it in life.
So what do you do?
Is it a rejection, or an acceptance? (To be continued.) )
