A Gui and Suo Heng were guarding their bookstall, and it was past twelve o'clock in the blink of an eye. Chu Li gave the two of them a rest room, saying that the rest room was actually a room made of simple boards, and Chu Li gave each of the two authors A bento lunch box from Yuanyuesha was distributed, and the two authors sat there and ate with their chopsticks apart.
Seeing that they had settled down, Chu Li then went out to contact the publicity department. Has anyone arrived? At 12:30, there is a new shield writer's signing, and Chu Li also took a look at what other authors are doing when they sign. ——She also saw Gu Baizhi. The last time we met was in Turkey, and I sent a text message to say New Year greetings or something. At this moment, Gu Baizhi couldn't move her eyes from Chu Li's belly: "Teacher Zhou Chuan The action is so fast, two years ago I was fucking in the house, I thought no one wanted him in this life except Jiang Yucheng."
Chu Li supported his waist and smiled, and touched his ball-like stomach by the way. He just wanted to give Hiukawa some face and said that since he was going to be a father, Mr. Hiukawa has become more calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, the one who slapped her in the face came.
Among the crowd, I saw a man wearing a mask on a hot day coming from a distance, pushed aside the crowd, walked straight to Chu Li and Gu Baizhi, and grabbed Chu Li's arm!
Chu Li was taken aback for a moment, and then looked back at the Yuanyue Club staff who were blocking the work area from entering, meaning: You are standing there looking good, put everyone in!
The staff on guard at Yuanyue Society belonged to the marketing department, and they smiled innocently: The prince still knows each other, even if he is wearing a mask, he walks with a different aura.
"..." Chu Li withdrew his gaze and looked at the man who was pulling his arm, "What are you doing?"
Hiukawa: "I still have the face to ask, why did I tell you a few days ago, there are people everywhere outside, you can't stay in the lounge? Why come out, it's my business alone Is it? I can't sleep for a while, and I know you won't be obedient. "
First ceremony: "..."
Hiukawa babbled like a machine gun, and Gu Baizhi stood aside with a polite smile on his face, thinking that this mother could be more annoying, if you bring a daughter, you won't be allowed to go to places with many people, Just find a dog leash and tie it to your belt (Chuli:... ).
Hiukawa naturally didn't know that Gu Baizhi was complaining crazily under the smile on her face, so he took off the mask and greeted her, twisted his head and dragged the first gift to the lounge, and his tone softened after the lesson: "Eat Yet?"
"Not yet, and I'm not hungry, I just ate an apple."
In the late stage of pregnancy, the belly is against the stomach, so I get hungry easily, but I am full after just two bites. It is normal to eat less and more meals... At this time, Zhou Chuan dragged Chu Li into the lounge: "They won't give you food? What about these two meals?" How can people have something to eat?"
A Gui and Suo Heng, who are collectively referred to as "these two people": "..."
Just eating a meal, why does it feel like I'm sorry for someone... Ah Gui wiped his mouth, kicked out the box under his feet, and there was a whole box of lunch in it: "Do you want to eat?"
Hiukawa pushed Chuli down, and took over the place of A Gui and Suo Heng to eat there. Chuli was not idle, picking up a vegetable and directing the two of them to touch up their makeup and lipstick... plus the staff coming and going. , The lounge has never been idle, a sharp-eyed live event host girl saw Hirokawa entering the lounge, and hurriedly followed in, holding a lot of newly bought books in her hand, wanting to sign an autograph, Before Hiukawa could speak, Chuli put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Teacher Hikawa hasn't come to work yet, so I won't sign anything."
The little girl didn't expect to be stunned, and her expression was not very good: "Who are you?"
I didn't expect to get two answers to one question——
Chu Li glanced at her blankly and said, "Editor."
Hiukawa put down his chopsticks and glanced back at her, saying, "My wife."
The answer was almost unanimous, the little girl's face turned white and red... Chu Li turned to look at Hiu Chuan, Hiu Chuan calmly took out a napkin and wiped his mouth: "Can you sit down and eat properly? I'm not hungry either , if I didn’t eat with you, my mother would sit here and eat this shit like a bricklayer?”
Chu Li said "Oh", and this time he sat down honestly.
The little girl who came in with the book went out with the book intact. Suo Heng and Ah Gui moved the ponytail and sat by the side to watch the excitement, having a great time!
…
In the future, the chaos will continue.
Chu Li chased away countless waves of staff from the book fair who came in and out of the back door. At the end of one o'clock, everyone knew that there was a ferocious pregnant woman in the waiting room, who was guarding the three of them like an old hen. The author is not close to strangers.
However, at about 1:15, the ferocious pregnant woman came out, and she stretched her head to look. Sure enough, the readers of A Gui and Suo Heng had already started queuing up to enter the arena under the arrangement of the staff. The editor is questioning them one by one, and then issuing number plates—
At 1:20, the author of the New Shield Club finished signing the sale, stood up and packed his things, and at the same time he stepped off the signing platform with one foot, people from the Yuanyue Club rushed up and began to prepare for the signing of Suo Heng and A Gui. Backdrops on sale!
At the same time, Ah Xian came back with the number plate. The number of readers Suo Heng and Ah Gui came to the scene was about a hundred or so. After roughly estimating the speed, he looked back at the two authors in the lounge: "You may be faster in a while."
At 1:25, the curtain was replaced.
The on-site host began to prepare for the warm-up, and the atmosphere on the scene was not bad.
Chu Li leaned to the side and looked at it for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that at least the opening went smoothly, at least half of the success, right? Then at 1:30, A Gui and Suo Heng were put up amidst the enthusiastic cheers from the readers. At the same time, her two editors also went up to help flip the book... In fact, Chu Li should follow Go up and help. But who dares to let an eight-month-old pregnant woman stand next to him to help turn the book!
Chu Li didn't go up, so he sat in the background, pointing at Jiangshan on Zhou Chuan's lap—
"That XX, ten minutes, it's time to prepare for the first event, you ask Suo Heng to read any number between 20 and 100, and draw a lucky reader to send a special lottery... We have limited time, let the readers think it over What I want to sign, I will take a note and copy it to her."
…
"That OO, ghost, don't be idle. I want to give readers a small gift. It seems to be in my bag. Let her draw a number and give it away quickly!"
…
"How's the speed outside? It only took a dozen or so? Hold the grass and let them go faster! It's only an hour in total!"
…
"You are not allowed to take pictures, of course you are not allowed. It's okay to take pictures secretly down there. What if the mobile phone sticks under the author's nose? It's okay to come here to sign a sale, just for show, not for sale!"
Chu Li was yelling and commanding the people to be busy, so Ah opened the door first and came in, first glanced at Chu Li who was sitting on Zhou Chuan's lap, and then looked timidly at Zhou Chuan with eyes like a bunny , with a look of "I don't know if I should say it or not if I have something to say", Chu Li just annoying people to put things in front of her: "Speak up if you have something to say."
At this time, just as he was putting his chin on Chu Li's shoulder and wrapping one hand around her waist, the man who was playing with his phone with his head down also raised his head and glanced at the editor in front of him.
He didn't say anything, but the way he looked at the stranger made Ah Xian tremble.
"... Then what, the readers of Mr. Hikawa and Mr. Hellman started to line up, and they couldn't be stopped," Ah Xian said. , It’s only five minutes now, hundreds of people are crowded there and lined up, I can’t control it!”
"..."
Chu Li was still sitting on Zhou Chuan and shaking his legs.
Hearing this action paused, depressed.
Standing up, muttering "Can't stop it or not?" Opened the door and went out to take a look: At a glance, I saw outside the signing team, a sea of people, not to mention hundreds of people, according to Suo Heng and Ah The ghost's reader team counts at 200 people, and there are at least twice as many outside at this time!
Chu Li suddenly felt a little helpless: ... This posture really can't be stopped by a mere Liang Surf, just like boarding at the airport. A person used to stand and wait in line, hula la for a moment the line could not see the tail—
Everything has a beginning.
"The marketing department is also useless." Chu Li shook his head, and now it can only be like this. Although he feels dissatisfied in his heart, these are also readers, can you beat them away
It was about half an hour after Ah Gui and the others signed the contract. Chu Li was about to sit back in the room and wait and see what happened. Can the progress over there be signed in 15 minutes? Teacher Hiukawa and the others have too many readers, and they definitely won’t be able to finish it in three hours, and we won’t be able to bear the readers’ troubles at that time, so we’d better start early!”
As soon as Liang Surf finished speaking, Zhou Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"... ... ... ... ... what?" Chu Li took a deep breath and did not react to the operation, "Fifteen minutes to sign? There is still half an hour before the agreed 2:30..."
Liang Surf waved his hand: "It will take about forty-five minutes to sign."
"..." Chu Li wanted to say let your mother fart, but since Hiukawa is still here, the housekeeper can control her temper recently, and swearing is really not good for prenatal education, so she reluctantly slowed down a little. He said angrily, "Impossible, it's impossible to finish signing in fifteen minutes, don't even think about it."
Liang Surf gave Ah Xian a look.
Ah Xian ran out immediately, and then came back a minute later, notifying that the second wave of lucky readers' special lottery has been cancelled, and now only the author's name is signed, and urged the author to speed up!
After hearing this, Chu Li realized that he might not be able to slow down his breath. His anger and adrenaline were a little high, and he kicked the chair next to him without thinking: "Who approved you to shorten the signing time without authorization?" !"
The stool fell down suddenly, and everyone in the room clamped their chrysanthemum farts and dared not put a fart... Zhou Chuan got up and put Chu Li in his arms, lest she bend down, and gave Liang Surf a cold look: "What's enough for fifteen minutes? I said I wouldn't go up early."
"I've asked the boss for instructions." Liang Surf smiled playfully with Hiukawa again, "They are all the authors of Yuanyue Society, and there is nothing wrong with our internal communication—we have also notified Mr. Herman in advance. He promised to come early."
Hiukawa frowned slightly, Herman's position was much higher than his, and Herman agreed to join ahead of schedule without knowing anything about it, and it didn't matter if he didn't qualify—
Liang Surf was sure of this.
At this time, Chu Li thought for a while, holding back his anger and asked: "I can't finish signing here, can I go back to the Yuanyue Society booth to continue, I remember there is a table over there..."
"The table in the booth is occupied by the artist of the album, and it is still in use." Liang Surf didn't even want to answer, "You better ask the author to speed up, don't worry about so many other things."
He even told her not to worry about it so much! !
Is she thinking about it? ? ? !
Instantly ignited by this sentence, Chuli is no longer a matter of high adrenaline rush, just like an erupting small universe that is about to explode: "I can fuck you, Liang Surf, you are almost the same, If there is something wrong, we will solve it in private, don't mess with the author here! Get lost!"
Liang Surf was scolded bloody, but he was good at being shameless, so he glanced at Chu Li and said, "I'm the leader, so I have the right to say what I want", then turned around and said to go to see the situation outside, so that Chu Li could prepare ahead of time. Finished making the site ready—
Chu Li's eyes were red, he was angry!
After Liang Surf turned and left, she followed and walked out onto the stage. At this time, there were only about forty readers in the audience... Seeing that Ah Xian had started the second wave of urging there, he glanced at her coldly Walking between Ah Gui and Suo Heng: "There are still more than twenty, can you speed up?"
A Gui raised his head and glanced at her: "Okay, I'll try my best, Emma, I've practiced my signing speed in my life here, what's wrong with the backstage?"
Seeing that Ah Gui had no intention of resisting at all, he just asked casually, looking like he was being pinched by others, and Chu Li thought of the nervous look she was circling in the lounge before the signing began...
Suddenly I felt very uncomfortable, so I didn't speak at all.
"Ah, let me tell you first, it needs to be done in five minutes, and I should be able to do it here," Suo Heng said without raising his head while signing autographs for readers, "You go down first, the iron frame of the signing platform is not stable. Yes, don't fall."
After finishing speaking, I still don’t forget to smile sweetly with the readers and say thank you.
Chu Li saw how the two of them were writing furiously, but in the end he turned around and left the stage silently without saying a word.
It just so happened that Liang Surf was back, and he dumped her his five favorite words: "If you can't do it, you have to do it."
Chu Li glanced at him, and now he doesn't even bother to lose his temper with him. After you despaired of a person, you found that talking to him one more word was too fucking tiring...
There was a stalemate, at this time, people from the Propaganda Department also rushed in—
At this time, A Gui and Suo Heng each had about ten readers.
Fifteen minutes before the deadline, and while the two authors were still sitting at the signing table, they began to change the posters behind them.
Chu Li leaned against the door and could see clearly, thinking that he knew that he respected the writers of the New Shield Club before starting to change the curtains after they left the stage. , Chu Li's attack can be said to be a slap in the face, how sober the whole person is -
Yuanyue Society never thought of respecting any author, nor did it ever think of respecting which readers. It can't be changed, just like a dog can't change and eat shit.
Chu Li leaned against the door of the lounge, folded his arms, and looked there. A Gui and Suo Heng stood up with the gifts from the readers, holding a handful of marker pens in their hands. Two authors, two A small editor who helped turn the pages of the book, together with a dozen readers, got off the stage in a group, then went to the small open space next to the lounge, and Maza sat down, put the book on his lap, and signed the last few readers' signatures in a daze. Finish.
The phone vibrates here, and there is a message from Ah Xiang—
[Flying Elephant: What are you doing there? Cried.]
Chu Li didn't reply, and directly locked the phone screen.
Hiukawa pulled her back, patted her on the head, and spoke exactly like Liang Surfing, in a firm tone: "Vice President Liang, this is also the last time I will cooperate with your Yuanyue Society, there will be no next time , you don’t need to notify me of any promotional activities of your company in the future.”
Liang Surf looked at Zhou Chuan in surprise. He didn't expect his tone to be so absolute, but when he thought about it, he was probably on the side with his wife when he was angry, and of course it was difficult to talk... Everything will be easy to discuss in the future, just like last time , It's so ugly, the publishing contract is still signed!
Anyway, as long as Chuli is still there—
Liang Surf was thinking happily...
At this time, the statue-like Chuli who was leaning against the door of the lounge moved, and she slowly stood up straight, her black and white eyes glanced at Liang Surfing, but her tone was quite calm:
"I'm quitting, whoever you love, the resignation letter will be delivered to the boss's desk within two hours - I wish Guishe made a lot of money on the ticket of Zhou Chuan and Mr. Hellman, and then I will be full and ready to go on the road."
