Chapter 136: Pressure
"Dear Anthony ()"!
Lin Qi's first book "Don't Think" was published. The launch date is set for March 21, 2017.
Lin Qi has been suffering from insomnia recently, more or less because of the fact that the publication date is getting closer and closer.
"Qiqi, the sale starts at eight o'clock in the evening, are you nervous?" Li Siqi
"Nervous!" Forest dwelling
"You haven't been sleeping well lately, isn't it because of this?" Li Siqi
"Probably. I don't know why I didn't care about the sales volume, but suddenly I was afraid that no one would buy it. "Lin Qi
"How so. And 500,000 copies, they actually gave less. They actually didn't expect you, a rookie writer, to become popular, and it is estimated that it will be reprinted later. Really, these are all things I heard when Uncle Jiang was chatting with my dad. "Li Siqi
"Then why do they want me to be on the hot search and hold a signing meeting?" Forest dwelling
"Businessmen put profit first, so they naturally want to sell as much as possible. If the first book sells well, the starting price will be higher for you, and there will be other companies rushing to sign your work. So of course, they hope that when they have copyright, they will maximize the value of the writer's use. "Li Siqi
Jiang Xiao listened and looked at Li Siqi directly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Siqi
"Suddenly I feel like you're a bit of a group lady." Jiang Xiao
"Cut." Li Siqi
Xu Ruohan is working part-time, and so is An Zijie. An Zijie always looks at the watch.
"Don't look at it, you've watched it many times in one night." Xu Ruohan said while sorting out the bookshelves.
"Don't worry. Siqi and Jiang Xiao are accompanying her. "Xu Ruohan
"Hmm." An Zijie
An Zijie felt that he should spend such a special moment with Lin Qi, but Lin Qi wanted to go back to the dormitory and wait, so An Zijie had to let her stay in her comfortable place.
"Qiqi, the countdown is on." Li Siqi
"Whew."
They're always looking at sales.
"250,000." Jiang Xiao
"500,000!" Li Siqi
In less than half an hour, the guarantee number has been reached.
"Looks like it's really going to be printed!" Li Siqi
The number of the latter is slowly rising, and all in all it is better than Lin Qi expected.
"You're finally going to get a good night's sleep tonight." Jiang Xiao
"Hmm." Lin Qi's hanging heart finally settled down. She was also worried that the reason why Wen Yuan wanted to carry out various marketing activities was that she would not be bought, and it seemed that what Siqi said was more or less right.
Jiang Yuyan sent a video to Lin Qi.
"Ayan. I'm out to pick up a video. "Lin Qi
"It's okay, everybody knows each other. Or are you going to whisper something? "Li Siqi
"Not really. Then I'll take it. "Lin Qi
"Ayan." Forest dwelling
"Hi, Yuyan." Li Siqi, Jiang Xiao said hello.
"Hello. Where are they? What about Ruohan? "Jiang Yuyan
"She's working part-time in the library." Li Siqi
"Oh, yes." Jiang Yuyan
"Qiqi, congratulations. I just read Wenyuan's official Weibo, and it has exceeded 500,000! "Jiang Yuyan
"yes." Lin Qi's tone didn't feel very happy.
"Why don't you feel like you're happy?" Jiang Yuyan
"I'm worried about whether I'll be able to write anything better than this one. I feel like I've been running out of inspiration lately. "Lin Qi
"You're just putting too much pressure on yourself. You're only eighteen, so there's a long way to go. Take it easy. "Jiang Yuyan
"Yes. That's what we said. She's been stressing herself out lately, and she's been losing sleep. "Jiang Xiao
"Insomnia?" Jiang Yuyan
"It's okay, just occasionally." Forest dwelling
"Take it easy!" Jiang Yuyan
"I'm just worried that I won't be able to write a second book and what will happen to the third book. Will it live up to these readers who like me now. ”
"Before, I never seemed to think about that. Do you want to become a professional writer? I've been thinking a lot lately. "Lin Qi
"I'm still saying that, take your time. Don't let the things you love become a burden. If you want to become a professional writer, you can think about it after graduation, the future is still long, and believe in yourself. "Jiang Yuyan
"Okay." Forest dwelling
"That's it for now. Good night. "Jiang Yuyan
"Hmm. Good night. "Lin Qi
Li Siqi touched Lin Qi's head: "Ayan is right. Take it easy, the future is promising. And, we're in it. ”
"yes. Forget, we said that as long as you write a book, we will buy it. "Jiang Xiao
"Thank you." The three girls hugged each other.
An Zijie also sent a video. It's nine o'clock, and An Zijie gets off work.
Lin Qi walked to the balcony to pick it up.
"It's good to have a boyfriend like An Zijie." Li Siqi
"Isn't that Jiangbei Cen good?" Jiang Xiao
"Xiaoxiao." Li Siqi
"Slightly." Jiang Xiao
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'll put on a mask." Li Siqi
"Perch." An Zijie
"Hmm." Forest dwelling
"You did it." An Zijie
"Sort of." Lin Qi is still a little happy.
"I asked my mom that the rookie writer was doing very well. And this is only online, offline physical stores will be on the shelves tomorrow, and there will definitely be many readers who will buy it. "An Zijie
"Hmm." Lin Qi nodded
"Are you on the way to the library?" Forest dwelling
"yes." An Zijie
"Then go back quickly. Ride the bike slowly. It's time to send WeChat. "Lin Qi
"Okay." An Zijie
Lin Qi hung up the video and returned to the dormitory. She thought she had an idea suddenly. Maybe you shouldn't be too demanding of yourself.
We shouldn't forget our original intentions. Write what you like and what you're good at. Some people like it is lucky, no one likes it, and there should be no self-doubt.
"Perch. To give. Xu Ruohan came back and brought a small gift box to Lin Qi.
"An Zijietuo I brought it to you. He said that today is a special day for you, so he wants to give you a gift. "Xu Ruohan
"He just gave me the video and didn't even say anything." Forest dwelling
"A little surprise." Xu Ruohan
"I envy you." Jiang Xiao
"Take it apart and take a look." Xu Ruohan
Lin Qi opened it and looked at it, it was an eyeshadow palette.
"Eyeshadow palette." Lin Qi smiled sweetly: "I didn't think he would pick eye shadow now." He used to stare at me all the time. Grown. ”
"When will my boyfriend grow up?" Xu Ruohan
"I also tore off my double eyelid patches today. He also asked me why I still have double eyelids. ”
"I'm double, I want to make my eyes look bigger, it's easy for me." Xu Ruohan complained.
Li Siqi and Jiang Xiao were amused.
"Actually, it's normal. When we first learned makeup, we didn't know anything. Not to mention the boys. "Lin Qi
"That's right." Xu Ruohan
An Zijie sent a message to himself: I've arrived. Did you receive a gift?
Lin Qi: Got it. I love it.
An Zijie: It's good if you like it. Rest early.
Good night.
Good night.
Ling Xingchen and Mo Chengjun also sent congratulatory messages to Lin Qi. Oh, yes. Obviously, I thought about it very clearly before. Why have I been getting more and more confused lately.
Lin Qi, you are already luckier than most people. At the very least, you have a group of friends behind you who will always support you.
Don't lose yourself at any time.
