Chapter 17: The more you watch, the more addictive you become
Du Shuhuan's coming to work in Suzhou was indeed arranged by his father, who was the leader of the World Book Company.
World Book Company is the third among China's private publishing institutions, since the day of its establishment, the World Book Company has been competing with the Commercial Press and Huaxia Book Company, because it is a rising star, so it has brought the fierce market competition consciousness into the publishing industry, and is more commercial in terms of marketing methods.
Its founder, Shen Zhifang, painted the house of the distribution house in dazzling red and named it "Red House" to attract people's attention, this bold marketing method is "unprecedented", and "Red House" under the management of Shen Zhifang, it has become the third largest publishing institution after the Commercial Press and Huaxia Book Company.
Du Shuhuan's father just let his son come over to experience, but he didn't let him suffer, so he bought a three-story house in Suzhou for his son's family, and there were dozens of servants hired by the family.
Du Shuhuan's study has a large collection of books, and the latest electric lights are installed, making it more comfortable and convenient for him to read.
However, in this era, fluorescent lamps have not yet been invented, and no matter how new the electric lamp is, it is also a tungsten lamp, and the light emitted is bright yellow.
Don't look at the electric age has completely arrived, but in fact, candles are still used for lighting at night in the countryside, and not everyone can read happily under the lighting of electric lights like Du Shuhuan.
Du Shuhuan was able to read this work more quietly and attentively at this time, probably because he had an excellent impression of Wang Defu, and even he felt that the other party's words were very pleasing to the eye.
He didn't think that this work was really written by Wang Defu's sister, even if the other party was dressed very modernly, he could see at a glance that the other party might just be Wang Defu's maid, but Wang Defu pushed it out as a disguise.
Du Shuhuan quickly confirmed that the male protagonist of this book, named Xu Shizhe, is a modern man who has returned from studying abroad, and the setting of this male protagonist is obviously very in line with his taste, especially foreign.
Although Du Shuhuan was born rich and noble, he really didn't go out to study, mainly because he was the only son in the family, with four sisters, and he was deeply favored by his father and sisters since he was a child, so he has always been in school in the magic capital, obviously even if he was arranged to come out to practice, he was also arranged in Suzhou, which is very close to the devil.
Du Shuhuan is not a rebellious rich child, he has accepted the arrangements of his elders almost all his life, including his current marriage, which is also arranged, and he is not dissatisfied, anyway, as long as he has books to read, it is enough.
If there is no arranged marriage, it is not easy for a bookworm like Du Shuhuan who doesn't know how to please girls, and it may not be easy to catch a girl to get married.
The reality is so interesting, some people are extremely disgusted with arranged marriages and want to pursue pure free love, while others need arranged marriages, otherwise they may be single for the rest of their lives.
Du Shuhuan pursues spiritual freedom through reading, and when he travels through books, he can travel all over the world, rather than being confined to the place where he lived and worked since childhood.
At the beginning of the novel, Xu Shizhe has returned to his motherland, but he uses memories to show his wandering life abroad.
In his previous life, although Wang Defu was just a history teacher, every summer vacation, he almost chose to travel abroad, and wrote a lot of travelogues, which also became the material for him to write this work this time.
In fact, Wang Defu's foreign countries are definitely very different from the foreign countries of this world, but the novel is fictional, and it is his ability to fool most readers.
The more Du Shuhuan watched it, the more fascinated he became, the more he watched it, the more he enjoyed it, he had completely regarded himself as the good-looking and talented poet Xu Shizhe in this book, he felt that it was not Xu Shizhe who got the Yanmar into bed abroad, but he Du Shuhuan!
This book looks so cool, if this kind of book doesn't sell well, then he won't mix with the publishing industry!
Du Shuhuan felt that Ling Jingsu, the editor-in-chief of "Red Rose", should thank him well, he could dig up such a work, maybe it would become the pillar of "Red Rose", and the magazine's sales took off, all thanks to it.
Du Shuhuan almost finished reading the opening chapter in one go, and then looked down, only to find that the tent below was held high, which made him a little embarrassed, and the scene of Xu Shizhe and Yanma applauding was still playing back in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more hard it made him hard.
However, at this time, his wife was pregnant and couldn't have intercourse, so he directly called his wife's maid to put out the fire, which was his wife's acquiescence, and it is absolutely not enough for a man to have only one sexual partner, otherwise when he has a period, or during pregnancy, how to vent his desires?
Du Shuhuan's wife understands the righteousness, as long as her husband doesn't go outside to find a wild woman, the maid is her person, and she can never threaten her status.
When he asked the maid to kneel under the desk to serve, he called his friend Ling Jingsu, and after some greetings, he began to blow "Love and Sex".
"This book is really well written, what attracts me the most is the character of the male protagonist, the author is really talented, and he has written the demeanor that a great poet should have, anyway, in my mind, a poet should be like this...... And the exotic atmosphere in the book, which is really well written, I suspect the author must have relatives and friends who studied abroad......"
Du Shuhuan said a lot in one breath, and when he was made cool by the maid, he let out a strange gasp.
On the other side, in the elegantly furnished boudoir that gives people a sense of low-key luxury, Ling Jingsu is wearing a luxurious silk nightgown, her long hair is casually draped, her whole person has an extremely intellectual beauty, it can be said that she has a poetic and scholarly atmosphere, and her appearance is even more moving under the background of her temperament.
Listening to the chatter of her childhood friend and long-time friend Du Shuhuan, her expression on her cheeks, which naturally gave people a noble and cold face, was still cold and unwavering.
Ling Jingsu didn't have any disgust with Du Shuhuan's verbosity, but felt that maybe he had indeed encountered a good book that made him happy to see the hunt this time, but such a book had not yet been published, and he had to recommend it to the street magazine "Red Rose" that she ran, I really didn't know what he was thinking.
Ling Jingsu still believes in Du Shuhuan's vision of reading, the other party may have loved to do the most since she was a child, is to read miscellaneous books, so she is also curious about this "Love and Sex" that was blown into the sky by Du Shuhuan.
