After completing a series of rigorous work such as proofreading, typesetting, design, and printing, Ah Ning's book was launched!

With the release of the shelves, the recommendation publicity is also promoted. In addition to the basic promotion of pre-sale autographs, there are also various offline activities, and the publicity of offline activities is overwhelming, and my photos are also wrapped in them.

Sister Liu carefully planned a reading club. In addition to the participation of readers and authors, the book club will also invite some heavyweight guests. The guests participated in the book club as readers, sharing their experiences, interacting, and playing games with fans. Of course, all of this is the final book signing to increase sales.

Sister Liu invited me to be one of the guests at the beginning of the planning of the reading club. I'm not good at talking in front of everyone, and when I need to talk endlessly, any hesitation and distraction is a loss of points, and I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake. I knew that Sister Liu had put a lot of effort into this plan, and I was afraid of betraying her trust, so I initially rejected her proposal. But Sister Liu didn't give up, and still Sister Liu tried her best to persuade me to participate: "Xiao Mu, you are not only an illustrator, you are also the first batch of readers of Ah Ning's new work, and you have also created the head and body details for Ah Ning's virtual characters, and also enriched the form and spirit!" You are such an important person! How can you not participate, you have the most say in the book about Ah Ning, it would be a pity if you didn't show up! ”

I couldn't really say anything to her, and finally agreed to her arrangement.

The next day, in the guest column of the poster of the "Reading Club" posted on the Internet, my avatar was prominently listed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the reading club. I went as promised, and when I arrived at the scene, I found out that the book club was a live broadcast.

Ning's work is very popular, with many attendees and enthusiastic readers. The reading club is carried out in an orderly manner: self-introduction, sharing reading experience, etc. If it weren't for the small situation in the interactive session, this would have been a perfect reading session under control.

When it came to the interactive session, someone asked a question about illustration, at this time, someone got up from the chair, grabbed the microphone, she first introduced herself as a "fan of Ah Ning", and then she pointed the finger at me: "As we all know, Miss Lu's resume is that she won an excellent award in the advertising painting competition before, which is neither a grand prize nor a special prize." Such a resume that can't be used has squeezed out the "Ten Years of Sea", which makes people have to suspect that there is something greasy in it, Miss Lu, don't you explain? ”

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly cold, embarrassed into clouds, coiling overhead.

"I don't know where this friend's news came from, I'm the mastermind. At the beginning, Miss Lu was appointed to draw illustrations, and there was no such thing as 'squeezing out'. Sister Liu took the lead in grabbing the microphone to explain, and there was a little anger hidden in her voice.

Immediately afterwards, it was Ah Ning who took the microphone: "The poster behind me is also the work of the businessman, it's very beautiful, right, I've heard a lot of posters say that the poster is very beautiful since I entered the door." Not only this poster, but also ten scenes for this story, each scene was drawn into my heart. Our illustrations are really well drawn! ”

The two of them helped me out of the siege. The reader was unwilling, she grabbed the microphone and stared at me: "Miss Lu, don't you explain?" ”

I took the microphone: "I also feel like I got this job through the back door." It was also my first time illustrating a drawing, and at first, I wasn't sure if I would be able to do the job, but after reading Ah Ning's book, a lot of images kept flashing through my head. I can't stop painting and I want to paint everything at once. After I finished drawing, I felt that I was so happy to be able to draw these scenes! Seriously, until this moment, I'm in a state of apprehension. Thank you for your question, and let me hear such a fervent compliment from Ning again. As for the Ten Years Sea you mentioned, she is my favorite illustrator. She has recently been preparing a personal album. Friends who like ten years of sea works will soon be able to see her carefully prepared album! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, someone applauded softly below, the applause was clear and rhythmic, as if magical, and the others present immediately applauded in this clear applause.

After I finished speaking, someone below whispered—"This person is here to stir up trouble on purpose." "I think so. ”

The questioner also heard the discussions, and she got up and left with a white face. I looked at her back and thought she was so familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her for a while.

At the same time, I couldn't help but look at the source of the initial applause, it was Secretary Gao!

I immediately stood up.

It coincided with the host's timely announcement: "Next is the book signing session." The venue suddenly resumed its bustle, and readers lined up with the books they had just bought to wait for Ah Ning to sign it. At this point, my mission is complete. I hurriedly stepped off the stage and walked through the crowd to Secretary Gao.

"Secretary Gao, you're back in Beijing! How did you get here! If it weren't for your applause, I wouldn't have known you were here. I couldn't help but get excited and hold her.

"Miss Selangor." Secretary Gao's voice was as good as ever, and it was rare that she didn't refuse my physical contact.

"I heard the news that Miss Selangor would be a guest on the promotional poster, so I came to take a look." After a gentle smile, she reverted to her polite and restrained appearance.

"Miss Selangor, Mr. Lil wants to see you."

In this way, I returned to the law house again with Secretary Gao. Secretary Gao walked in front, and I followed behind. I couldn't help but turn my head to admire the view of the courtyard. In the courtyard, the plants are green, and the bright colors are the noisy branches of flowers. Rich spring colors spread all over the field.

"Uncle, I'm back." When I entered the study, I saw Mr. Ritsu sitting at the tea table, and I bowed down to say hello.

Mr. Ritsu raised his eyes to me, pointed to the tea table and said, "Sit." ”

I agreed and sat down.

"Drink tea." Mr. Ritsu handed over a cup of tea.

I respectfully took it.

"Do you know why I asked you to come back?" Mr. Ritsu asked.

"yes, I know." I replied.

Mr. Ritsu is busy with business and rarely stays in Beijing. He deliberately wanted to see me, just for the sake of me and Ritsu Zhaochuan.

"Taste this tea, it's white tea from the south."

I took a sip, but before I could swallow it, Mr. Ritsu asked, "Where have you and Ritsu Zhaochuan developed?" ”

"Poof!" I couldn't hold back, a sip of tea almost squirted out of my mouth, and I covered my mouth in time to stop the faux pas. Luckily, I didn't take a big sip just now.

"We decided to be together seriously." After a little bit of wording, I say this.

"Your joint decision?"

"Yes."

Mr. Ritsu got up, opened a small drawer in the center of the bookcase, and took out a brocade box from it. Mr. Ritsu handed me the brocade box in his hand: "This is for the two of you." ”

I didn't answer, and blurted out: "Uncle, I thought you were ......"

"Thought I'd object?" Mr. Ritsu asked rhetorically.

"Hmm." I replied awkwardly.

"Ritsu Zhaochuan has already told me that you are ready to get married. He is in charge of his own affairs. Take it. ”

That's when I took the brocade box. When I opened the lid, I found that there was a pair of brooches inside, in the style of honeysuckle rings, which was both simple and special.

I was watching, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Ms. Shenling rushed in: "No, I don't agree!" ”

"Ling Chen, please knock on the door before entering my study." Mr. Lil was slightly stunned.

Lady Shenling roared angrily: "You are ruthless enough, it is not enough for you to give your heart to that woman, you also have to give my son to her." My son is my birth, my flesh and my flesh. I will never agree to you giving him to that vixen as a son! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mr. Ritsu frowned deeply. He turned to me: "Selangor, you go to Secretary Gao and ask her to bring me some Mingqian Longjing." ”

"Oh." I knew that Mr. Ritsu was trying to get rid of me.

"Don't go!" Ms. Shenling tugged at my arm and wouldn't let me go, "I'd like to see what tricks you little vixen can do to snatch my son!" ”

"Ling Chen, in your heart, your son is your belonging?" Mr. Ritsu said coldly.

Ms. Shenling was stunned when she heard this.

"You think I'm controlling him when he looks like he is now?" Mr. Ritsu continued.

Lady Shenling roared: "It's not you, who else, and I'm not by his side!" ”

Mr. Lu said coldly: "You gave up on him first, for your dream." ”

Ms. Shenling's face turned white, and her hand stiffened when she pulled me, and she drooped down.

"If the child is a baggage, you can give it up. Then why are you using blood as an excuse to stop him from going the way he wants to go. Don't underestimate your son. We all missed his growth path, and now we are not qualified to point fingers at him. ”

"Say no more!" Ms. Shenling covered her ears and shouted, she raised her eyes and glared at me again, "Why are you still here, don't you leave quickly!" ”

I didn't say much, and immediately pulled the door out of the house.

As my colleague closed the door of the study, I heard Mr. Ritsu's calm voice: "Do you think that Zhaochuan will not know about those small actions behind your back, if you don't want to completely lose him, just live quietly......

I didn't stop and walked briskly to the lobby.

Standing under the eaves, I raised my eyes and happened to see Ritsu Zhaochuan climbing the stairs, crossing the corridor, and coming this way.

My eyes chased him.

The scene in front of me almost coincided with the scene when I first met him.

Time seems to have gone back in time.

I was in a trance thinking about the time when I first arrived at the lawyer's house. It's just that the mood at the moment is completely different from the first visit. At that time, I was trembling and cautious, and I had to face the future hidden in the white fog alone. Now, whether I am moving forward or backward, I know and believe that that person is always by my side.

He finally found me. I raised my hand and beckoned to him. A smile immediately broke into his lips, and he quickened his pace and ran towards me.

"I'm so tired today." As soon as he came up to me, he hugged me and leaned against my head and said. After a moment's rest, he asked, "Why did you come back?" ”

"Come back to see your uncle."

"He didn't embarrass you." He let go of his embrace.

I shook my head, then lit up the brocade box in my hand to show him.

"Look, Uncle gave us a gift."

Ritsu Zhaochuan looked at the jewelry in the box and thought thoughtfully.

"You know?" I asked.

Ritsu Zhaochuan nodded.

After pondering for a moment, Ritsu Zhaochuan suddenly proposed: "Xingxing, let's go to the United States." ”

"Ah......h

"I need to go and see my father-in-law and mother-in-law." He said.
