Chapter Twenty-Seven: Beautiful Writers
"Xiqiu, may I ask if your age is really less than seventeen?"
"I'm sorry, but a man's income and a woman's age are secrets."
"Xiqiu, what grade are you in now?"
"It's not Form 2 anyway."
“……”
After a small episode, the signing party was carried out smoothly, and it took more than two hours to finally sign all the fans, Zhang Qiuxi was so tired that he almost collapsed, and his right hand was no longer able to move but he still had to be interviewed by reporters, and the questions of these reporters were still so out of tune.
Although Zhang Qiu's answer was full of airwaves, the reporters were still happy, and then asked: "Xiqiu, may I ask you as a girl, why did you think of writing science fiction novels?" ”
"If you think science fiction is just a man's romance, then you can think that I have a man's heart."
The latter is true on all levels, but no one but herself will know.
"Have you seen Chu Li's mechanical public enemy? What do you think of this work? ”
Finally, someone asked a "normal" question, but no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of stirring up trouble, Zhang Qiuxi didn't care, and said: "I've seen it, so far it's indeed a pretty good work." ”
"In other words, is the mechanical public enemy just okay in your eyes?"
"My works are just garbage in Chu Li's eyes."
Chu Li actually didn't directly say that Zhang Qiuxi's works were rubbish, but what he wanted to express in his critical words was actually what he meant, so his fans didn't scold Zhang Qiuxi like this.
"Then who do you think is better than the two of you?"
"So far, it's hard to draw conclusions, but if you think you have to rate it, the magazine's sales may be a reference for you."
"Why do you keep emphasizing that so far, do you think the level of content in the future will be lowered?"
"Because Chu Li hasn't finished serializing yet, of course, I can only use the current serialized chapters, if you think he will write down, then I have no opinion."
"In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Milky Way, the answer to the universe of life and a qiē is 42, may I ask why?"
"Regarding this question, please go to the restaurant at the end of the universe, and if you don't find a satisfactory answer, please continue to pay attention to my future works."
"In the last issue of the fantasy world, your new work I, the machine qì people, mentioned the three rules that make people scream, how did you come up with it?"
"I came up with my head."

——————
Up to now, Zhang Qiuxi has finished writing a short story and a long story, which has led to a science fiction boom, and now there are also short stories and long stories for serialization, and the whole body is a topic, and she is making her first public appearance, which naturally caused reporters to ask questions again and again, and threw out all kinds of questions.
But this is really not a good time, Zhang Qiuxi is so tired that she is about to collapse, where is the energy to answer questions, barely cheer up, these reporters' questions are so fucked, for example, there was a reporter who asked if there was a boyfriend like this, Zhang Qiuxi couldn't wait to take off her shoes and throw them on her face.
Of course, it's impossible to throw shoes, and she doesn't have the strength now, so she just told the reporter that you don't have to worry about this problem, it's not your turn anyway.
It took more than half an hour to deal with the reporter, and after the reporter dispersed, Zhang Qiuxi saw Li Yue looking at her with a smile on the side, and she should have been here for a long time.
Called Li Yue over to introduce each other, Li Yue and Hongdou both helped her upstairs to the lounge to rest, Wang Yuan and the editor-in-chief of the Western Union University Publishing House had not left, they stood up to greet her with a smile, and said, "Fortunately." ”
"My right hand seems to be completely unconscious, I don't know how many signatures I have signed this afternoon, I said you won't ask for it, right?" Zhang Qiuxi smiled bitterly, it seems that he will not be so tired when he goes to the construction site to move bricks.
"If you still need to ask for help, other authors won't be able to live, which is completely a sign of your popularity." Wang Yuan smiled, and then said: "There are nearly 2,000 people present at this signing meeting, and it is foreseeable that the sales will not be bad, you take a rest first, and we will find a hotel to treat you later." ”
"Editor-in-chief Wang, forget it, you see where I can still eat like this, I can't take the chopsticks." Zhang Qiuxi shook his head and said, "I just want to go home and lie down now, or don't bother." ”
Seeing that Zhang Qiuxi would definitely not be able to enjoy the feast like this, Wang Yuan could only express regret and said: "Okay, let's pick another day, you have a good rest." ”
After a few polite words, Wang Yuan and the people from the publishing house left first, leaving only Hongdou and Li Yue to accompany her, and Li Yue only spoke at this time: "Ah Qiu, you shouldn't be open-mouthed in front of those reporters. ”
"I didn't let go of the cannon, Chu Li attacked me so much, when I mentioned him, he was very objective, if I changed it, I guess I would spray directly, how can I be as good-tempered as me."
Zhang Qiuxi didn't care, and Hongdou followed: "Xiaoyue refers to your attitude, don't you know that the media is the uncrowned king?" You just said that, God knows what they're going to write about you tomorrow. ”
"It's such an exaggeration, and your editor-in-chief and the people from the publishing house didn't say anything just now?"
"Nonsense, the more controversy there is about you, the more attention they get. They don't necessarily want to hype you up, and now you make things up yourself, what do you think they think? ”
Zhang Qiuxi was speechless and said, "How do I feel that everywhere is full of conspiracy? ”
"The media doesn't necessarily attack you for this, but some negative comments are definitely indispensable." Li Yue shook his head and said, "Anyway, the matter has come to this point, so don't take it to heart." ”
"Xiaoyue is right, just pay more attention in the future, don't worry too much. Let's go, I'll invite you two to dinner. Hongdou pulled Zhang Qiuxi to stand up, Zhang Qiuxi was helpless, and said: "Sister Hongdou, I really can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of me now." ”
"No matter how tired you are, you have to have a full stomach, can't I feed you? Xiaoyue, let's take her away. Hongdou couldn't help but say, pulled up Zhang Qiuxi and walked out, and then said: "I still have something to talk to you about, do you really think that the plot behind the mechanical public enemy will collapse?" ”
"I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
". In fact, I also feel this way, the contradiction between humans and machine people in the mechanical public enemy is described too intensely, and I can't see the possibility of reconciliation at all, and I'm afraid it's not easy to end it. ”
Li Yue helped Zhang Qiuxi, and also said: "I think the biggest problem is that the machine is too strong, it is impossible to reconcile, and human beings have no chance of winning, and Ah Qiu's prediction is reasonable." ”
"We don't have to worry about this kind of thing." Zhang Qiuxi wanted to shrug his shoulders, but unfortunately he couldn't make this action now, and then said: "You two let go first, my hands are numb, and my feet can still walk, and I am held by you like this, like an old, weak, sick and disabled." ”
After going downstairs and saying hello to the people from Xinhua Bookstore, the three of them left, and the first signing meeting ended like this, so the word consummation should be added.

It's a bit out of shape......
