Chapter 288: Press Conference

Zhao Qingyu's tickets were booked in advance, and now there are suddenly three more people, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went to the campus ticket agency to rebook three tickets.

She was lucky, and she still had sleeper tickets for the same shift, but the locations were not together.

After staying in the hostel outside the University of Z for a day, the group followed Zhao Qingyu to S City.

Zhao Qingyu was the main guest invited to the book launch, and the hotel was booked in advance, a standard single room.

When the family arrived at the place, the single room was definitely not enough to live, and Zhao Qingyu opened two more rooms, which were three or four times more expensive than the hostel, which made the Zhao family's parents very distressed.

Not long after staying at the hotel, Zhao Qingyu's phone rang, and it was her editor calling.

The other party called twice on the train before, asking when she would arrive, and then called the little brother from last time to pick her up.

Zhao Qingyu thought that it was not convenient for him to drag his family with him, and it was not a three-year-old child who didn't know the way, so he politely refused.

Now that the editor figured that she was already there, he called to inquire about the situation.

"If you have time in the afternoon, if you want to come, just call me or send me a message."

"Well, okay, that's it, hang up first, bye-bye."

Zhao Qingyu put away the phone, Zhao's mother just came out of the shower, and came over curiously: "Xiaoyu, whose phone is it?" Is anyone coming in the afternoon? ”

"It was my editor's phone call, and she came to me in the afternoon to talk about the press conference."

"The press conference...... "Mother Zhao muttered, "My Xiaoyu is so powerful......"

Zhao Qingyu: "......"

In fact, Zhao Qingyu didn't think about it so much at first, thinking that it was similar to the last new book signing, but after the editor came in the afternoon, she muttered to her, and she suddenly realized that this press conference was a bit unusual.

This is not just as simple as selling books, but also marketing and advertising, and I heard that the publisher also specially invited TV reporters!

"You're going to be there early tomorrow, and there's going to be a makeup artist to put on your makeup, by the way, do you have any dresses with you? If not, we'll have to rent a one, preferably a grandiose one......"

The editor seems to be an obvious agent, and explains everything that Zhao Qingyu should and shouldn't do at tomorrow's press conference.

The calm Zhao Qingyu slowly became a little unsettled in her heart after listening to this, she didn't have been interviewed by reporters or something, but this time it made her feel very strange.

As if the topic of the launch was not her book, but herself.

You must know that even if he is reborn, Zhao Qingyu has never thought of taking the road of screen star.

But it's all here, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Zhao Qingyu just complained in his heart, he should write it down, pay attention to it, but he was not too flustered.

But Zhao's mother, who listened to the whole process next to her, looked nervous, and after the editor left, she glared and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you going to be a star?" ”

"......" Zhao Qingyu couldn't cry or laugh a little, it seems that her mother has this feeling, "No, in fact, it is to promote the new book." ”

Mother Zhao thought about it, the little girl seemed to be very good, maybe it was like that.

As a result, when the next day came, the whole family was dumbfounded, this gorgeous stage, bright lights, long carpet, big posters......

"Huh? Light rain, the people on top of this...... It's you? Zhao's father pointed to the huge poster photo on one of the billboards and asked in surprise.

Zhao Qingyu also saw it, that photo was taken when she signed the contract last time, and she did say that she might use it in the future, but she didn't expect it to be left here.

Zhao Qingfeng touched his chin: "Sister, you seem to be getting better and better." ”

“…… Nonsense. Zhao Qingyu glanced at him, "My brother is so handsome, if I am too ugly, won't I be ashamed of him." ”

Zhao Qingfeng laughed when he heard it.

Just as he was looking around, Zhao Qingyu's editor brought a colorful makeup artist over.

"This is Zhao Qingyu, there is still an hour to start, you hurry up and put on makeup for her!" The editor took Zhao Qingyu and walked to the dressing room in the backfield.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were taken to the lounge next to them, which has not yet opened, and the staff are busy flying.

Zhao Qingyu arrived at the dressing room and found that there were already a lot of people inside, some dressed in ancient costumes, and some of the two-dimensional animation COS, this is not a press conference, it is a performance, right?

After putting on makeup, I have to change my clothes, and sure enough, it is a grand evening dress and long skirt, fortunately, it is not too revealing, just a one-shoulder opening, if it looks like some mesh and translucent later, if it is seen by her parents, I don't know how to feel.

She is really still a traditional and conservative good daughter in her bones.

When everything was ready, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were also arranged to sit in the front court, and the audience, guests, and fans entered one by one, and the space was instantly full.

Zhao Qingyu made a grand appearance under the warm introduction and welcome of the host, and there was a tall and handsome guy next to her as her partner, and the two were forced to hold hands.

As she walked, she waved to the people next to her, which was requested by the organizers......

Passionate, youthful, passionate.

The smile on Zhao Qingyu's face was about to stiffen, especially when she passed by Zhao's father, Zhao's father, Zhao Qingyu and Xiaodan, she felt that the eyes of those four people were all focused on her wrist that intersected with the strange man next to her......

Dad, Mom, listen to me explain, I really don't know this person, ah no, I've only known each other for half an hour!

This book launch conference is mainly held for Zhao Qingyu, but since it has been held, the organizer has naturally invited other people, such as the handsome guy next to her, who is actually an author, and he entered the industry seven or eight years earlier than her, but his reputation has not been good.

coincided with the release of Zhao Qingyu's new book, so I wanted to take the opportunity to push several other authors by the way.

Looking at many reporters with microphones, Zhao Qingyu realized for the first time that she probably really became popular with a book.

The sales of the first ancient rebirth book are still hot, whether it is online or physical books, she can get a soft monthly manuscript fee.

The reason why the second release of the new book is so heavy is probably because I want to strike while the iron is hot.

After that, there were all kinds of reporters asking questions, she and some other reporters were giving their thoughts, and there was even a stage play specially rehearsed for the plot of her book, and the people I saw in the dressing room just now were the performers.

Zhao Qingyu was really surprised and delighted.

The publisher is really generous!

Of course, the last and most important link was the signing meeting, readers and fans lined up for autographs, and Zhao Qingyu sat for three hours in a row before it was over.

The book launch was held perfectly, and the editor ran over to tell her that she would be able to see the broadcast of the press conference on the urban station in S City at eight o'clock tomorrow night.

Zhao Qingyu's family was shocked, S City City Station, this is a regular big TV station! Compared to the interviews she had given at school before, the local TV station in town was completely different!

"Sister! You're going to be on TV! Zhao Qingfeng exclaimed in a low voice.

Xiaodan is even more straightforward: "Xiaoyu is going to be a star!?" ”

"No, I'm just here to advertise my book." Zhao Qingyu explained.

"I watch celebrities who advertise on TV." Small single words chiseled.

Zhao Qingyu: "......"

Anyway, it's useless to explain to Xiaodan, she firmly believes that Zhao Qingyu is going to become a star, "When you wear that long skirt, you are exactly the same as a star on TV." She said so.

Zhao Qingyu was speechless.

After that, they stayed in S City for almost a week, and slowly walked around various famous places before returning to the provincial capital.

The family has already sold the store, and the rent in W Town has also been refunded, and Zhao's father asked an acquaintance to help move some of the things that the family can move to a new house in the provincial capital.

The new houses subsidized for demolition are simple and can be moved in directly, and their families moved relatively late, while other demolition households moved in as early as a few months ago.

Because not everything has moved here, Zhao Qingyu has been living in a new house for the past few days, and basically has to go out every day to help buy household items.

Most of them are small items, basins, shelves, mops, etc.

"**, you and the girl went out to buy things again."

"yes, have you eaten?"

……

It's only been three days, Zhao Qingyu and Zhao's mother went out together, Zhao's mother went downstairs and was greeting and chatting with people all the way, Zhao Qingyu was waiting beside him, as if he was the outsider who had just arrived in the provincial capital.

There are a lot of people in this area who used to be in L Town, because they are not far from W Town, and they all belong to Y City, so they can be regarded as fellow villagers.

After Zhao's father and Zhao's mother passed, they quickly integrated in.

Finally, after Zhao's mother and others finished nagging, the two continued to walk outside the community.

Zhao's father installed the curtain rack at home, Zhao Qingfeng stayed to help, and the mother and daughter went out to buy all kinds of things.

In fact, today I have basically added everything, but there are still some daily necessities for life.

This community is still in the development zone at this time, and the geographical location is a bit remote, but in less than five years, it will become prosperous and lively.

Out of the community, there is a highway outside, and there is a row of new facades outside the community, on which there are big advertising slogans for investment and leasing.

But at this time, no one looks down on this place.

Zhao Qingyu was looking at the empty storefronts next to him while walking, thoughtful.

"Xiaoyu, in a few days I will go out with your father to see where there is a job, or where there is a good place to do business, you can't really let your daughter support her at home at a young age." Mother Zhao suddenly spoke.

For the first time, Zhao Qingyu heard her mother describe her and her father as "young", and she was a little funny: "Mom, my current money will definitely be able to support you." ”

"That's not good, although your mother and I did think that our child was a genius, and then your father and I would be able to retire early and live a good life, but it wouldn't be like this when you were still studying."

"Oh!!" Zhao Qingyu understood, "Mom, are you afraid of being gossiped about by others?" ”

Mother Zhao rolled her eyes: "Hmph, what kind of gossip is this?" When others say this, it's not envy and jealousy of me, how can I be afraid? ”

Zhao Qingyu's eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Mom, if you still want to open a noodle restaurant, I have found a suitable place." ”

"Where is it?"

"Well, that place." Zhao Qingyu turned around and pointed his finger lightly, it was an empty façade next to the gate of the community.

Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes and said very entangledly: "Here...... There's no one at all. ”

The occupancy rate of this neighborhood is now less than 50 percent, and the construction continues across the street from the street, which is dusty everywhere, and the stop sign on the side of the road is only a small poster with only one bus on it, which looks like a desolate and depressed scene.

But this is only a temporary illusion.

Zhao Qingyu had been here in her previous life, she had come to find Wang Yanli, and of course she knew the potential of this place.

"Mom, do you remember the place across the street from my high school, you seem to have said the same thing back then."

Mother Zhao: "......"

"The place I just pointed to is the gate of the community, although there is more than one gate in this community, but this is the main entrance, and there is a bus stop nearby, oh, although it is all the way, but as long as the people in and out of the community, they have to pass through here." Zhao Qingyu pointed his finger at the construction site opposite, and continued to explain, "Mom, have you seen these cement trucks and workers coming in and out, according to this project, it will take at least two or three years, which is quite fast, these people want to eat, right?" Why is there no one? ”

There is no formal breakfast shop in this place, and they are all simple carts that live nearby, and they sell baked cakes, wontons, steamed buns, etc.

If it rains, it will be more difficult to buy food, unless you walk more than 1,000 meters to the supermarket chain in front.

There aren't many people here now, and there will definitely be more in the future.

But after more of it, it will not be your first opportunity, and at that time, the rent may not be the same level as now.

If you want to seize the opportunity, you have to be quick and ruthless.

Zhao's mother now listens to her daughter's words, and now that Zhao Qingyu analyzes it, she is immediately so anxious that she scratches her cheeks, and she can't even buy anything, so she will go to the property-related department now.

"Mom, we haven't bought anything yet, we'll talk about it later."

So, Zhao's mother, who usually picks and chooses things, is very decisive this time, and she will leave after buying and never staying.

After Zhao Qingyu's analysis, Zhao's mother felt more and more that it was a good place, and they would be robbed later.

Of course, this was not possible, and it was business as usual until they went back with their purchases.

Under Zhao Qingyu's persuasion, Zhao's mother still went home to discuss with her husband first, and after eating, Zhao Qingfeng was left to read and study at home, and the other three went out.

These facades have not been sold, they went directly to the sales department to find the relevant personnel, heard that they want to rent the façade, the person is quite happy, but without saying a word, the topic changed.

"Actually, with your conditions, you can buy that façade now, do your own business, rent it out, and sell it again to make a profit if the price rises in the future." The staff is very persuasive.

Now the house speculation fever is indeed about to begin, Zhao Qingyu has actually noticed this, but she is still a little hesitant, with her current ability, even if she does not speculate on the house, she can live well.

But the opportunity is rare, since she has to do it all over again, and she still has the funds in her hand now, if she misses it like this...... It seems like a pity.

At this time, the house in the provincial capital is not expensive, even if it is a spot house, the price is not high, and the house of about 100 square meters within the third ring road is only more than 100,000 or 200,000, and the price is getting higher and higher in the next few years.
