I went viral when I attended my ex-girlfriend's wedding

some where.

Vision Publishing House.

Stand in front of the cash register.

The boss Lou Houbin can be described as full of sadness.

Looking at the scattered customers in the store.

Thinking about the need to renew the lease of the store when it is about to expire.

It was as if he was crushed by a boulder and couldn't breathe.

If in the previous few opportunities.

It would be great if I could get the order to publish the novel "Mr. Xizhou" from Hanlin Publishing House.

It won't be so difficult.

"Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"The Legend of Condor Heroes".

"Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

look.

Any one of them can make a lot of money.

such a pity.

People in a small publishing house like myself simply don't like it.

Can't get in the queue.

Do not ask.

Ask is three words.

'out of stock! '

you say.

What can be done?

People are so in short supply.

I can only stare blankly.

on this matter.

Lou Houbin had already given up hope.

But inadvertently heard the chatter of customers.

It seems to say that the new work of "Mr. Xizhou" released by Hanlin Publishing House is not very popular this time.

So disappointed with it.

Lou Houbin was quite curious.

Poor eyesight due to old age.

He put on his reading glasses and read some comments on his mobile phone.

Don't say it.

This is really the case.

Book fans have mixed opinions on the new work of "Mr. Xizhou".

There is a lot of controversy.

Some people think that his own themes are just a gimmick.

Some people think that his strength can do it.

Quite messy.

See these.

Lou Houbin's mind suddenly became active.

If this "Mr. Xizhou" continues to write traditional martial arts novels.

He never got a chance to get involved.

But the other party changed the subject.

Obviously there is a breakthrough.

while the temperature drops.

Dealers will definitely place orders conservatively.

So

Isn't your chance here?

Lou Houbin couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Even a little excited.

Too late to think about it.

He directly called his wife.

"How much money is left to move at home?" After connecting, he opened his mouth and asked.

"what?"

The daughter-in-law said vigilantly, "Don't you know how much money you have at home?"

"In this way, the child's share of the money will not be changed, and I will have to buy the rest." Lou Houbin thought for a while.

"Purchase?"

The daughter-in-law was taken aback: "No, don't even think about it, this bookstore may be closed one day, and you still want to invest money in it?"

"What are you talking about, the bookstore is yellow and our family is drinking the northwest wind." Lou Houbin was also impatient, and his anger rose immediately.

"I said Lao Lou, if it doesn't work, let's stop doing this bookstore."

The daughter-in-law softened her tone and persuaded: "It just so happens that the contract is about to expire, so doing other business is not better than this."

"You woman comes as soon as you open your mouth."

Lou Houbin said in a bad tone: "How many years have I been in the bookstore, what business can be more handy than this, I will pay for it."

"Then you can't invest so much money, why do you spend so much on your usual purchases." The daughter-in-law continued.

"Usually it's normal, now I have an opportunity, and if we really talk about it, our bookstore will have a chance to revitalize it completely."

Lou Houbin was too lazy to talk nonsense: "If you want our family to drink Northwest Wind, just hold on to the money. Anyway, don't regret it when the time comes."

"Okay, why are you losing your temper? I can't ask about this anymore?"

Seeing him in a hurry, the daughter-in-law couldn't help complaining: "I'm really unlucky to marry you in this life, let's forget if I don't enjoy the blessings, and I'm still worried all day long."

"Why are you talking about this? If you have enough money, would I still talk to you?" Lou Houbin said dissatisfied.

"If this money is wasted, I'll see what you will do then." The daughter-in-law threatened.

"If you don't succeed this time, you will be whatever you say in the future. If I, Lou Houbin, say one more word, I am not a man." Lou Houbin was impassioned.

"Okay, that's what you said."

The daughter-in-law obviously agreed with this plan.

"I said."

Lou Houbin hung up the phone domineeringly.

Check out for a customer in the middle.

Then he called an editor from Hanlin Publishing House again.

"Hi, Editor Zhang, hello, I'm Lou Houbin, the boss of Yuanjing Publishing House, and I want to make an order with you for the new novel of 'Mr. Xizhou'. How about giving me 50,000 copies first? If it’s not enough, add more, do you think it’s okay? Well, well, it’ll be delivered the day after tomorrow, right, no problem, I’m really sorry for your inconvenience, okay, okay.”

really.

Hanlin Publishing House still has stock!

I won a single order successfully.

Listen to what this editor means.

I actually hope that the two parties can continue to cooperate in the future.

It was unexpected.

Lou Houbin wished this could continue forever.

Time flows quietly.

Unconsciously.

It's December 10th.

No matter where book fans are optimistic about it or not.

"Zhu Xian" is still ushering in its release date.

Compared with the previous martial arts masterpieces of "Mr. Xizhou".

Whether in terms of attention or expectations.

In fact, this novel has to be greatly discounted.

But not everyone cares about this matter.

For example, Lou Houbin, who shut down yesterday and completely rearranged the shelves.

He never doubted the level of novel creation of 'Mr. Xizhou'.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have placed such a big order.

Isn't a new subject a new subject?

I really don't understand why those people on the Internet are so unfavorable.

There are many novels of different themes on the market.

I haven't seen anyone stand up and criticize.

It's just messing around.

But in a sense.

Lou Houbin really had to thank them.

They did not create these public opinions.

I still can't get on the big boat of Hanlin Publishing House.

Morning.

It's eight o'clock.

Lou Houbin dragged the floor again.

Then open for business as usual.

His small bookstore is located in a remote place and is not big.

So there are no redundant shop assistants.

On weekdays, I take care of it alone.

I don't think it's hard.

It even feels free from time to time.

present.

It's still early.

No guests came against the door.

He chatted with some neighbors in the neighborhood for a while.

Gossip about the latest news and anecdotes.

Whose family is at war.

Whose dog bit someone.

Whose family sold the house because of gambling.

Variety.

I sat outside for about half an hour or so.

Only a few customers walked into the bookstore one after another.

Waiting to see the new look inside.

These people were a little surprised immediately.

All the shelves have been wiped clean.

The top few floors were all replaced by the novel "Zhu Xian".

Take a look.

It's hard not to pay attention.

"Sure, boss, you have a new work by 'Mr. Xizhou'."

An old customer immediately joked: "It seems that there is no shortage of purchases."

"That's not true. It's not like you don't know how difficult this 'Mr. Xizhou' work is."

Lou Houbin laughed and said, "It took me a long time to get it."

"That's true, but I heard that the theme of the new work of 'Mr. Xizhou' has changed, and it is not martial arts."

The customer said: "I don't know how the quality is."

"Don't worry, he has written three high-quality books in a row. It's almost the same, just take a look." Lou Houbin said without knowing where his confidence came from.

"OK."

heard the words.

The customer nodded with a smile.

It can be seen that he also likes 'Mr. Xizhou' very much.

Immediately, he picked up a copy of "Zhu Xian" and began to read it.

This man reads novels very quickly.

previous chapters.

Almost swallowed the jujube whole.

Take a look at the general framework.

But to the back.

The speed at which he turned the pages gradually slowed down.

Qingyunmen!

Big Bamboo Peak!

Three-eyed Monkey!

Firestick!

Qimai martial arts!

A figure emerges.

A pile of events is generated.

The plot has ups and downs.

The characters are distinct.

The unique and charming fantasy world of the legend of the Eastern Xianxia can be described as magnificent.

The man was almost dumbfounded.

Suddenly there is a feeling of collapse of the world view.

Xian Xia!

It turns out that this is Xian Xia!

It is a brand new world system.

This is too scary.

I just feel that the novels I read at the beginning are completely incomparable.

It's not that this "Zhu Xian" is written so well.

It's that it's too new.

The story is also wonderful.

There are martial arts.

"Zhu Xian" also has it.

Martial arts don't have it.

There is also "Zhu Xian".

Read between the lines.

The original genre created by "Mr. Xizhou" impacts the brain all the time.

"How about it buddy, isn't the quality of the novel 'Mr. Xizhou' declining particularly badly?"

At this time, a person next to him suddenly asked him: "I see that many people on the Internet are talking about it."

"Sliding? Stop kidding."

He couldn't help laughing at himself and said, "You should read it yourself, this novel is more exciting than anyone imagined, not even inferior to his trilogy."

Say it.

He also ignored the man's stunned look.

Immediately came to the cash register to check out.

Lou Houbin gave him some change and asked with a smile, "This novel didn't disappoint you, did it?"

“Excellent value for money.”

The man thought about it.

Only simple four words are left.

Lou Houbin was very excited.

he knows.

I bet right!

Things continued to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

In fact, there were not many customers in Yuanjing Publishing House all morning.

But ten people come in.

Ten people will go out with a copy of "Zhu Xian".

I'm not exaggerating.

Unless you don't look at it.

But just pick it up.

No one can put it back the same way.

Don't look at the full shelves.

But I can't bear to hold it like this.

Arrived around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Almost all empty.

It was the first time that Lou Houbin felt that he could not keep an eye on him.

Stock up here.

You still have to settle the bill over there.

He was sweating profusely as he tossed back and forth.

Naturally, it was fun at the beginning.

But it's been a long time.

It's a bit hard to support.

After all, it is getting old.

The legs are not like young people.

Because of the existence of this "Zhu Xian".

Today's customers are extremely dense.

Last resort.

Lou Houbin can only ask his daughter-in-law who is still at work to ask for leave and come over to help.

It was hard to survive the first day.

Unexpectedly, the next day was even more terrifying.

It's not open yet.

There was a queue of more than a dozen people at the door.

I have been working in a bookstore for so many years.

It was the first time for Lou Houbin to experience the feeling of being blocked by book fans.
