The light rain was dripping, which made people a little irritable.

From the first drop of rain to now, intermittently, it has been raining for 4 days.

In the morning it was overcast and a little cold, and by noon it was sporadically raining.

Zuo Yuan once thought that there would be many fewer people signing and selling books, but from 10 o'clock in the morning, he signed until 5 o'clock in the afternoon before the last reader was sent away.

"A total of 764 copies were signed?"

Yan Fei took the data counted by the store manager and relayed it to Zuo Yuan.

Yesterday, Xu Jie was responsible for communicating with the store manager and arranging the venue overnight, originally he had to hold on for another day today, but Yan Fei took the time to come over and let him go back to the editorial office to rest.

"That's a good result...... Or is it bad? Zuo Yuan signed and sold books for the first time, looked up at Yan Fei, and felt uneasy.

"Of course. Two days later, Mr. Shen's autographed book was only limited to 800 copies. Yan Fei explained.

On that day, it is estimated that there will be more people, right?

After all, the last time Shen Xin signed and sold a book, it would be pushed forward for another seven years, and the signed version of "Y's" had already been priceless.

This time, 800 copies were released at a time, which should also be a drop in the bucket.

However, based on Yan Fei's understanding of Shen Xin, it is said that only 800 copies will be signed, and in the end, it will definitely exceed a lot.

Teacher Shen ...... Isn't this a little too little? Zuo Yuan looked up and asked.

"It's very little. However, the magazine is also to protect Mr. Shen, after all, Mr. Shen has been updated a lot recently. Yan Fei said.

"Yes." Zuo Yuan nodded, "In the last few words, the length of "Steel Forged" has been around 35 pages, and the picture quality of "Steel Forged" is also very high, and it does take a lot of physical strength. ”

He's a cartoonist, and he knows exactly how much effort it takes to create something of the caliber of Steel.

At least, he couldn't draw it, and there are very few people in the country who can draw it with this quality.

High yield, plus high quality, such comics are not popular, what comics are popular?

"That...... I also want to go to Mr. Shen's book signing and selling, and if possible, I would like to thank him in person. Zuo Yuan said.

"Huh?"

The two met at the Jiman bookstore...... This scene is really hard to imagine.

However, it is not easy for Zuo Yuan to take the initiative to make this request...... It should be a good thing.

However, because the launch date of "12 Years Old" and "Steel" are too close, the subsequent sales of "12 Years Old Again" should be affected. The magazine can't help it, and then a single book of "Hunting the Abyss" will be released. Both are the pillars of the magazine, and it hurts too much if they influence each other. Therefore, I can only let "12 Years Old Again" suffer some grievances first, and when the second volume is released, I will fight for more resources for you. Yan Fei explained.

"It doesn't matter. I'm grateful that the magazine can let me have autographs to sell books. I've never had this kind of opportunity before. Zuo Yuan's eyes showed happiness.

"Influenced by "Steel", "12 Years Old Again" may only have 50,000 copies in the first week, but it will be better in the future."

"50,000 copies...... Royalties should be quite a lot, right? It's been a long time since I've seen such a large sum of money. Zuo Yuan let out a sigh of relief, he had waited too long for this day, "Teacher Yan, I'm looking forward to meeting Teacher Shen...... You say, how do I introduce myself? ”

Zuo Yuan was a little uneasy, at this time, he was completely different from usual, and he had a feeling of wanting to see an idol.

Yan Fei was about to answer Zuo Yuan, when suddenly her mobile phone rang.

"Sorry...... I'll answer the phone first. Yan Fei was slightly apologetic, walked out of the lounge, communicated with the other party, and soon after, returned to the lounge with something on her mind.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Yan?"

"Hmm...... Mr. Xi's manuscript has been handed in, and I have to go back to the office first. Yan Fei looked apologetic.

"Go ahead. It's not like I can't go back. Zuo Yuan smiled rarely.

Yan Fei was stunned when she saw Zuo Yuan's expression, she hadn't seen Zuo Yuan smile for a long time.

"Thank you."

"No, I should thank you." Zuo Yuan stood up and said with a straight face.

When Yan Fei hurriedly walked out of the bookstore with a transparent umbrella, Zuo Yuan also walked out of the lounge, looked around, glanced around the people in the bookstore, and saw unfamiliar faces, no Zheng Ping, and no Xiaochan.

I did it...... Did you know?

Zuo Yuan muttered to himself in his heart.

……

"Okay, I tried my best to buy this comic."

A girl puts a comic book on Zheng Ping's desk.

"Thank you." Zheng Ping took the comics, "By the way, are there many readers who go to participate in the book signing and sale?" ”

"The one who went to buy...... Okay? Hundreds of people. Why should you buy this manga, it's not famous. The girl was puzzled.

"It's Xiaochan who likes to watch it." Zheng Ping pulled Zuo Chan out.

"Oh, is it? I thought that the people who liked to read this manga were middle school students, and my brother liked this manga very much. ”

"Then you bought a copy for your brother too?" Zheng Ping said curiously.

"No, he said it was a waste of money."

"Why?" Zheng Ping said curiously.

"I don't know...... By the way, Sister Ping, you seem to have a vacation on the 22nd, right? ”

"Hmm. What's wrong? Zheng Ping was puzzled.

"Can you help me buy a comic at Jiman Bookstore? Mr. Shen will have a book signing on that day, please help me grab a signed version of the comic anyway. ”

The girl folds her hands.

"Huh? Do you also have a favorite cartoonist? ”

"Absolutely. But this cartoonist is different, the last time he signed his autograph was several years ago...... It is said that the original signed comics, as long as the price is not too outrageous, someone will collect it, so this opportunity is rare, please. ”

"Okay, when?"

"11 p.m."

"So late?"

"That can't be helped, after all, the other party is a big-name cartoonist."

"How big?" Zheng Pinghu doubted.

"Maybe there's no one bigger than him in China, right?" The girl speculated, "So, that day, please Sister Ping go over early, otherwise you won't be able to grab it." ”

"Got it, I promise you."

Change it once and for all, and you have no reason to refuse.

Zheng Ping thought to herself.

'Long live understanding!' Equivalent exchange 'Hooray!' ”

"Huh?"

Seeing the girl excitedly return to her seat, Zheng Ping was confused about the "equivalent exchange" in the girl's mouth.

After pondering for a while and not figuring it out, Zheng Ping looked at the cover of "12 Years Old Again" again, a child stood up on a skateboard with one hand, pinched his waist with the other, and looked ahead, with a charming smile on his face.

Turning the title page, it is also a color page, which is the composition of the male protagonist and other children.

Zheng Ping turned another page and finally saw Zuo Yuan's signature.

The font is vigorous and powerful, as if the strength of the whole body is left on the paper.

Zheng Ping touched the word "Zuo Yuan" and sighed, hoping that he could really get up this time.
