Yiyu's fear of offline signing meetings deepened day by day.

The closer to the day of the offline signing meeting, Yiyu feels like a violin plucking a string, and the closer to the day, the more one will be added.

She couldn't alleviate such an anxious feeling.

Some people say that depression is an emotion like a person who has lost the ability to be happy, just as someone has lost his eyes and can never get them back.

Lost interest in eating, lost interest in socializing with people, and finally lost interest in life.

Depression is a feeling that someone can imagine, but if you don't experience it, you will never be able to empathize.

Yiyu had tried to express this emotion before, but her aunt didn't care and only told her.

You go to listen to light music, you go to make friends, you go to chat with friends, you go to run to vent......

She won't really understand these things at all, she will only simply think that Yiyu is just unhappy.

Yiyu heard her aunt say to outsiders before: "Xiao Yu, this child, is depressed all day long because she has no parents by her side, but fortunately I raised her, my sister is really unreliable, so many years...... Not a single phone call came. ”

Bai Yi'an sent a message:

Today we are going to prepare for the signing together, so you can come as soon as possible.

Yiyu wanted to send him a word of refusal.

But it wasn't her book alone, there was another copy of Bai Yi'an's in it.

So she edited the text messages countless times, but she didn't have the courage to send them.

Yiyu went to the convenience store for a while, explained some things to Jiang Jiang, and then left.

She came to the newsroom, as if all the editors were preparing for the book signing.

Because the office is not like in the past, there is only the sound of "ping pong" typing, but a lively group of people.

Bai Yi'an saw Yiyu appear from the gap in the crowd, and beckoned her to come over.

"Yiyu, come over here."

She squeezed through the crowd and walked over, and the eyes of the other editors were focused on the two of them, which made Yiyu feel very uncomfortable.

"They all have to help together, and tomorrow the signing will be very busy and will require a lot of manpower."

"I should ...... What to do? Is it a signature or something? Yiyu asked.

"Didn't you see what I wrote in the document I gave you, I have prepared some questions and answers, you should remember them carefully, there will be interviews and questions from reporters at that time, and also, you are going to give a speech, which is for the readers in the audience."

To do this...... Yiyu's head was buzzing, and he felt that everything around him was dim, and he couldn't even hear people's voices clearly.

Yi Yu ...... Yi Yu ...... "She heard Bai Yi'an calling her next to her, but her mind went blank.

After a while, she felt that something was ignited, and said loudly to the side, "I'm not good at these things, why do you have to force me to do it?" If you like the signing meeting, you can stand on the platform and speak. ”

The surrounding sounds instantly became quieter, and everything became quiet.

Yiyu saw Bai Yi'an staying in his seat, but he didn't speak.

Yiyu regretted saying this, but she couldn't control her emotions, so she had to say "I'm sorry" and leave in a hurry.

She thought about these things over and over again in her mind, and she was indeed a little excited, why was she so impulsive. At that time, when I spoke, I didn't feel the whole person, I just felt that a switch was pressed in my heart.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to say that, but my mind was messed up at the time, I'm sorry. Yiyu edited the text message, and she thought that she had to formally say sorry.

Wait a while and text back.

I didn't take it to heart, if there was pressure, let's go have a meal together.

But she really didn't have the slightest appetite to eat. But as an apology, she still replied with a good word.

Bai Yi'an asked her to go to a hot pot restaurant in a shopping mall, where people were almost full every day, but Bai Yi'an said that he had booked a place in advance and asked her to come over on time.

She covered her eyes with concealer and applied her rarely tinted lipstick, thinking back to the time when she felt too much like a grizzled madman. She wanted Bai Yi'an to forget her embarrassed appearance.

She came to the door of the hot pot restaurant, and the shop was full of fiery red, and the hot red pot was steaming.

"Here we are." Bai Yi'an patted her, "Let's go in." ”

When they walked into the store, the waiter at the door opened the door and there was a strong smell of butter. The waiter led them to their seats.

"I'm sorry for saying those things to you today, and I didn't control myself on the spur of the moment." Yiyu lowered his head, not daring to look at Bai Yi'an's eyes.

"You've said sorry three times, we just have to eat what we eat now, and don't care what happened before." Bai Yi'an handed over the menu.

"You can order it." Yiyu excused, "I don't know how to order, I don't know what is delicious." ”

"Okay, then I'll order, you eat more." Bai Yi'an called the waiter to choose the dishes.

A hot red pot of butter is topped with meat dishes, and a clear soup pot with mushrooms, red dates and wolfberries is boiled with fresh vegetables.

"Handsome guys and beauties, are you two coming to our store for the first time?" The waiter pours tea on the side.

"Yes." Bai Yi'an nodded.

"There is a discount today, where the couple who consumes in our store posts an intimate photo next to the hot pot, you can enjoy a 75% discount."

"As long as it's a group photo?" Bai Yi'an asked.

"Yes, but if it's an intimate photo. As for the definition of intimacy, I don't need to say that both of you understand. The waiter looked at the two of them and smiled brightly.

Yiyu wanted to shake her head and refuse, but Bai Yi'an quickly sent her a message on her mobile phone.

I know you're going to decline, but since it's a discount, it's just a photo.

Yiyu thought about it, the seven-fifty discount is indeed a very affordable discount.

"Don't you dare to face it? It's going to the book signing. ”

They ate for a while, and Bai Yi'an asked her.

"Hmm...... Well, I don't really like the environment of many people. That vibe would take my breath away. Yiyu confessed.

"I think we can try to face it, and maybe after you try it, you may find that these are not as scary as you think." Bai Yi'an tried to persuade her.

"This kind of thing is not something you can change by trying to face it, it may be just a brave attempt in the eyes of others. But in my eyes it just makes me more depressed. Yiyu didn't know how to explain it to him, because no adjective could compare to this feeling.

"You know, in the past, my parents only occasionally told me some of these things, they almost only provided me with material things, and rarely had time to pull me to me, but in fact, many things I only knew after experiencing them firsthand."

"Is your family rich?" Yiyu asked.

"Actually, if you are serious, it is a little richer, how can there be a lot of money, but I don't know why they are so busy, even now, I have rarely seen them." Bai Yi'an smiled very calmly, and his tone was light.

"I haven't told you anything about it, I haven't seen my mother in over twenty years." Yiyu paused.

The pot gurgled and bubbled with bubbles bulging on the surface of the oil after heating.

The heat was thick between them, and they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but the tone could be felt clearly.

"Actually, I imagined that when I first met you, I was thinking about what I had experienced to be like this."

"I was in a trance for a while, thank you for saving me." Yiyu spoke.

"Don't say thank you, I'm sorry for those words, are you just saying things like that in your vocabulary?" Bai Yi'an smiled.

"Do you like writing?" Bai Yi'an continued.

"If I don't like it, I won't write, I'm not good at speaking in front of a lot of people, but I can write it down, and when no one can talk, I will write what I want to write on paper."

"I'll give you a way, we can change it to an online signing session." Bai Yi'an said.

"Online? What do you mean? Yiyu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"The so-called online is held online, but it is a little more troublesome, if readers want the author's autograph, we can send the book to them by mail, and then start a real-time exchange meeting online, we can communicate online through the Internet."

I have to admit that Bai Yi'an is really smart, and the way he thought of it has not been done in a novel today, but it is precisely because no one has practiced such a method that there is too much uncertainty.

"But what should I say, you've been preparing for so long, and suddenly change your plan, is that okay?" Yiyu is worried.

"You don't have to think too much about this, today I stayed up all night to write out the advantages and plans of this plan, and handed it over to the editor-in-chief tomorrow to see, after all, if you don't try it, how will you know the result."

"You can't do everything, you also want to help me, so let me work with you too, after all, I also need to understand such things."

"Then I'll stay up late to do it, can you?" Bai Yi'an asked.

"I've stayed up too much." He also smiled.

"Then I'll treat this meal as if you invited me to eat, and it's a tough battle at night, so I'll eat more." Bai Yi'an picked up chopsticks, picked up a few slices of meat, and looked like he was going to do a big job.

"Okay, I'll pay for it." Yiyu smiled.

They used tea instead of wine, because Bai Yi'an couldn't drink when he drove a car, and Yiyu didn't know how to drink at all, and she didn't like to drink, so they reached a consensus.

Bai Yi'an drove to the downstairs of the company, opened the car door and beckoned her to hurry up: "Let's be careful to sneak in, this building is not allowed to enter so late." ”

"Okay." Yiyu hid behind him, because of her petite stature, Bai Yi'an just blocked her.

"When I say enter, you quickly follow me." Bai Yi'an whispered.

Yiyu felt that his heart was beating fast, just entering a company, but they made it like a spy movie, which made people thrilling.

"The security guards look elsewhere, let's move forward." Bai Yi'an gave an order, and Yiyu followed him into the door of the company with quick steps.

"Alright, it worked." They get on the elevator.

"The sting is not irritating." Bai Yi'an asked her with a grin.

"Sort of." Yiyu's heart still can't stop beating wildly.

"When we get to the literature department, they can't control us, and there are a lot of people working overtime in this building." Bai Yi'an could see her nervousness, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

Sitting at their computer desks, they began to think about the online signing program.

First of all, we must list the advantages one by one.

The first point: since the signing will be carried out online, it can save a lot of manpower.

The second point: the online signing meeting does not need to rent a venue, which saves the high cost of renting a venue.

The third point is that the method is novel, which can make readers feel new and sincere at the same time.

Fourth, it can better allow the author to have one-on-one communication with the reader, and better organize the language to answer the reader's questions.

The fifth point: the books are delivered to the readers by mail, and the number of people is limited, so that more people can get the books signed by the author.

…………

They go back and forth, and the reasons are really compelling.

Bai Yi'an thought quickly, but before Yiyu could react, he typed new advantages on the computer.

They integrated some of the advantages of the type, and tried to put out the benefits of the online signing meeting as concisely and directly as possible.

When they were so busy that they were about to show the whiteness of their belly, they tried to make the layout as delicate and concise as possible, which might increase the editor-in-chief's favorability of the first impression.

Yiyu fell asleep on the table unconsciously, and when he woke up, he was wearing a men's coat and a cup of soy milk and fritters next to him.

The coat must have been Bai Yi'an's, and Yiyu sat up, feeling sore.

"Cheer up, I'm going to announce a new decision!" The editor-in-chief walked out of his office and said loudly.

Bai Yi'an also followed behind, and saw Yiyu's puzzled eyes with an OK gesture.

Then the editor-in-chief spoke: "The offline signing will be changed to a new plan, online!" ”
