"Teacher, please drink water."

After seeing Shen Xin sweating profusely, the staff of the bookstore immediately handed over two mineral waters.

Shen Xin frowned slightly, and glanced at the readers who were still queuing.

Didn't you say five or six hundred people? Why are there more and more people?

His right hand was swollen, and even though he had been painting all the time, this was the first time he had been writing without interruption like today.

The book signing began at 11 a.m. and lasted three or four hours, but the number of people in line did not decrease.

Yan Fei, who was staying in the background, couldn't stand it, and said to the store manager next to her: "Store manager, don't let readers queue up anymore." ”

"Huh? Now it is selling the fire. "The manager is quite sorry.

"Neither will the fire." Yan Fei refused, "The cartoonist's body is also very important, in case he is tired, it will be a loss to the magazine and the bookstore." ”

The store manager was a little depressed, but what Yan Fei said was also true, if Shen Xin was tired, their bookstore would also have a lot of trouble, so he instructed the clerk to prohibit customers from queuing up again.

Some customers just joined in the fun, they didn't know much about "Y's", but they just thought that if they could get an autographed book, they would probably be able to show off in front of their peers, but now that they are not allowed to queue, they don't have the heart to continue in line.

But more people are readers, when they hear that the readers behind them can't line up, their demeanors are different, the readers before the deadline are secretly happy, and the readers after the deadline are depressed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, we also know that you deliberately went to the roaming bookstore to find Mr. Shen to sign an autograph, but Mr. Shen has been signing for nearly four hours, and now he is really tired. If you still choose to buy a single copy of Y's, the bookstore has decided to give you a poster and a bookmark for Y's......"

Hearing the clerk's words, most of the readers also said that they could understand and dispersed.

After Shen Xin signed the last single book, he leaned on the back of the chair weakly, and his right hand couldn't even be raised.

"Hard." Yan Fei handed over a bottle of mineral water with a smile on her face.

"Alas, Sister Yan, you have made me miserable. I've never been so tired when I write college entrance examination essays. Shen Xin was weak and took the mineral water with his left hand.

"Of course, where is the braille enough for the writing essay?" Yan Fei said with a smile.

"That'...... How many books have I signed? Shen Xin asked.

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

"Eh, what? I'm not the store manager, and the statistics are made by the store. Yan Fei said.

"Yes." Shen Xin bowed his head slightly and drank a bottle of mineral water.

After a short break, the store manager also hurriedly ran over, "Two, the results are out." ”

"How many copies?"

Shen Xin and Yan Fei asked in unison.

"You two really have a tacit understanding." The store manager said with a smile.

Shen Xin and Yan Fei looked at each other and smiled.

"According to the data obtained so far, as of 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 1,722 copies of the single book of "Y's" have been sold, of which 1,392 copies have been signed by Mr. Shen." The store manager said excitedly.

"Huh? I thought I signed 10,000 copies? My hands are getting tired and breaking. Shen Xin held his forehead with his hand, a little frustrated.

"Contentment, huh? A manga artist doesn't just write names like a writer, you have to draw stick figures, and it's not easy to sign so many copies. Yan Fei patted Shen Xin's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"That's right. In fact, this year's roaming bookstore book signings are already the second-best. The store manager smiled.

Yan Fei bowed slightly, as an editor in the industry, she also has a certain cooperation with Roaming Bookstore, and she also knows a little about the news.

"How many books is the number one place?" Shen Xin said curiously.

"1st place...... There were more than 6,300 copies, and there were really a lot of people at that time, and the streets outside the bookstore were full of people. The store manager recalled.

"So much?" Shen Xin was taken aback, he only signed more than a thousand copies, and his hands were almost wasted.

"He didn't draw a stick pen, he signed it." The store manager said.

"That's a lot. If I could have so many readers, I guess I would have signed it directly, right? Shen Xin sighed.

"Don't be so greedy, okay? Fourteen hundred copies is already very high. Moreover, this is only the first half year of your career as a professional cartoonist, and after that, your grades may be even higher. The other party is a giant existence. So, boy, you're already amazing. Yan Fei gave a thumbs up.

"Who's that guy?" Shen Xin was a little curious.

"The winner of this year's Best Long-Form Comic Award, the signature cartoonist of "Comic Future", Mr. Wang Yunze and his "Legend of the Dragon King".

“……”

Shen Xin also knew that he was indeed no match for Wang Yunze now.

"Okay, that's all for today, thank you manager." Yan Fei waved her hand at the store manager.

"Yan Bian, you'd better make preparations first, I think it may have to be reprinted." The store manager smiled, "One of the hottest single books roaming this year, it's impossible not to reprint." ”

"Hopefully, but as you know, the magazine also has high expectations for this set of books, and originally applied for the first edition of 100,000 copies, but it turned out. The group of people in the sales department only gave 50,000 copies, although they understood their difficulties, in case of unsalable, all the losses had to be borne by the magazine, but even so, they still wanted to use excellent results to slap their faces. Yan Fei said depressedly.

Shen Xin doesn't know much about sales, but he also knows that the first edition of 50,000 copies is already very high for newcomers. "Crumbling" also took a week to digest the sales of 50,000 copies, and the base camp of "Y's" is still in Yunhai, and the Yunhai market is really too small compared to Hongchuan.

……

Xi Muhan was very depressed.

Today is Shen Xin's autograph and book sale, but he can only be "trapped" in the classroom.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, if she goes to the book sales site in a stilt class and is found by Shen Xin, she will definitely be criticized.

Sign it or something, you can sign it when you go home!

But what she wanted was not an autograph, but a look at the book signing scene first.

Hopefully not too cold.

If there are only one or two hundred people, or even dozens of people, will it be too cold...... Well, however, there are quite a few students who are absent from class today, there are about five or six boys, and there are two or three girls.

There were less than fifty students in a class, and there were not many students, but now it feels even more empty.

It's annoying.

Xi Muhan pouted, transferring all the anger in his heart to the exercises.

Immediately started the evening self-study, Xi Muhan thought that he was going to do the exercises alone again, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Xi Muhan raised her head in astonishment, and several classmates rushed into the classroom with hurried steps, including her tablemate, a girl with a double ponytail.

"Why are you going today, Natsu? Don't ask for leave? Xi Muhan was puzzled.

"It's too late, so let's pay attention to the 'lack' first." Xiao Xia, who was at the same table, took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"What's so urgent?" Xi Muhan was even more puzzled.

Xiao Xia smiled and pulled out a book from her school bag, "Of course I'm going to sign it." ”

Huh?

Xi Muhan's eyes moved to the comics, and he saw two large English letters written on the cover - Y's.

It turned out that I went to Brother Xin's book signing party......
