……

Because of Akemi Ikawa's protest, the instructor finally gave up letting her play the murderer, but it was a pity that her height was wasted.

Akemi Ikawa was so angry that she wanted to drop the props on the spot and quit.

But for the honor of the society, she still worked honestly.

However, she was also assigned an additional task, which was to invite Teacher Qiuyuan to watch the show on the day of the stage play.

Encouraged by the instructor, everyone ignited their fighting spirit and rehearsed one after another.

Amidst their busy day-to-day, the new issue of "New Novel" is on sale again...

[42.Chapter 42 is not selling well? ! ]

"Sugihara, this issue of "New Novel" has arrived, please sort it out here."

"No problem, manager."

Sugihara Aisa replied with a happy tone, and took the bundled book very actively.

The store manager gave her a surprised look, but left to arrange other people's work.

Sugihara Aisa didn't notice the store manager's eyes. She lowered her head, gently put the stack of books in her arms on the ground, took a pair of scissors and cut the binding rope, then took out about 10 books and arranged them at the exhibition the upper right corner of the stage.

Generally speaking, people think that the best place to display books in the sales booth is in the middle, because this position can make customers notice it at the first time no matter what.

But she has a different opinion. She thinks that the position in the upper right corner is actually the best, because most people are right-handed, so they tend to look to the right for the first time.

She put the books and periodicals in a good place, and at the same time inserted a small flag between the two stacks of "New Novels", with the words "recommended by the staff" written on it.

After finishing the work on the sales booth, she placed the other "New Novels" on the middle and high positions of the bookshelf - if it is too high, you need to look up, if it is too low, you need to squat down to read it, this position is just right.

It took about 20 minutes to finish all this work. At this time, the store manager arranged the work of other people, walked over, and saw the small banner that said "recommended by the staff".

He was a little hesitant to speak, but after thinking about it, he decided to persuade Sugihara Aisa.

"Sugihara, I think this issue of "New Novel" may not sell very well, please think again."

Sugihara Aisa was a little confused, she looked at the store manager suspiciously, and found that he didn't seem to be joking, so she stopped what she was doing.

"Shop Manager, aren't the first two issues reprinted?"

Judging from the data in July, the second issue of "New Novel" was purchased twice, and the third issue was purchased three times.According to this trend, the results of the fourth period should also be good.

The store manager didn't answer directly, but stepped forward, picked up a copy of "New Novel", and casually flipped through a few pages.

"Sugihara, as a bookstore worker, you should know what makes a magazine sell well."

Sugihara Aisa replied hesitantly: "It's the content."

"Then let me ask you, do you think there are any column articles that can attract readers besides the serialized series by Mr. Akihara Hiroto?"

Sugihara Aisa was a little speechless for a while, she admitted that what the store manager said had some truth.

After all, even she herself mainly reads Mr. Qiuyuan's works every time, and flips through other content casually.

But she still felt that as long as Mr. Qiuyuan continued to serialize content in "New Novel", it would still attract enough customers.

She was silent for a while, then raised her head, and said in a positive tone: "Shop Manager, I understand what you mean. But I still believe that Mr. Qiuyuan's works are enough to drive the further sales of "New Novel". A store clerk, but also the intuition of a book lover."

The store manager smiled helplessly, he didn't expect Sugihara Aisa to stick to her idea so much.

But Sugihara Aisa is the administrator of literature and art books after all, and if I rashly intervene in her work, other clerks will think that there is a problem with Sugihara Aisa's work.

After thinking about it, he gave up further persuasion.

However, he did not believe Sugihara Aisa's intuition. He believed that the previous reprints of "New Novel" were undoubtedly due to a series of coincidences and a great chance.

Moreover, he has also read the previous content and admitted that although the writing is good, he does not think from the bottom of his heart that the other party can create the same level of articles every week.

Seeing that the store manager did not respond directly, Sugihara Aisa felt a little uneasy, wondering if she had said something wrong, but she did not regret it, these words were her thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

After thinking about it, she also picked up a copy of "New Novel", and turned to the column serialized by Hiroto Akihara, ready to further convince the store manager.At this time, a gentle female voice rang in her ear.

"Excuse me, is the new issue of "New Novel" available here?"

The store manager was the first to react, and realized that it was not the time to talk, so he bowed slightly, signaling Sugihara Aisa to receive the guests.Sugihara Aisa also turned around immediately, ready to put on a business-like smile.

But when she saw the person coming, she couldn't help being surprised.

The other party was about 20 years old, tall and slender, with exquisite features, and a standard black long straight hairstyle, very much like the heroine that appeared in shoujo manga, with a kind of temperament like the flower of kaolin.

But for some reason, when she heard the other party's voice before seeing the other party's face, she subconsciously thought that the customer was a little dumbfounded.

She was a little confused, but knowing that this was not the time to think about it, she immediately smiled, bowed, and greeted in one go, and then handed over the magazine in her hand, "Hello, guest, this is the latest issue of "New Novel."

Seeing that Sugihara Aisa found the book she wanted so quickly, the beautiful female customer immediately expressed her gratitude, then took the magazine and glanced at it.

This female customer is Akemi Igawa, and her purpose of coming here today is to buy "New Novel" and bring it to everyone in the drama department to read.

During this period of time, all the members of the drama department were constantly rehearsing around the stage play "Seven Rooms", but the instructor believed that in addition to the script, the actors should experience the creator's heart from other aspects intention.

In this case, other works of Hiroto Akihara are the best choice.

She looked down at the magazine, and found that the cover this time was quite different from before—a black-style page with the three letters ZOO written in red letters on it, which looked creepy.

Next to this title is the name "Akihara Yuto", but in a much lighter color.

In the lower left corner of the cover, there are a few much smaller titles and authors, one of which reads ""The Footsteps of Search" - Menxie Youzhen."

She was just an ordinary reader, and she didn't know a series of things that happened in the editorial department. She was just a little surprised. After all, when she bought the book the first two times, the cover was still marked "Looking for Footsteps".

Thinking that Hiroto Akihara's work will be performed by their drama department, she was a little joyful for a moment to share weal and woe.

Sugihara Aisa was a little puzzled when she saw Akemi Ikawa's expression changing back and forth, but she was too embarrassed to disturb her.The store manager who was standing aside took the initiative to speak out: "My guest, is there anything else we can help you with?"

He was a little suspicious that this guest was a fan of Hiroto Akihara, and he had actually met some before.

However, he believes that the enthusiasm of fans is limited, and the purchasing power is not as good as those readers who really love to read, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

After hearing what the store manager said, Akemi Igawa realized that she was stunned, so she woke up and said in an embarrassed tone: "Hi, I still want to order 50 copies of "New Novel". Can I book for a long time? I want to..."

She plans to order "New Novel" for a long time according to the requirements of her instructor.Because of this campus festival, the school attached great importance to the drama department and allocated a lot of funds.

Sugihara Aisa excitedly clenched her little fist upon hearing this request.The store manager was startled, a little in disbelief.

He also claimed that the book would not sell well later on, but immediately someone wanted to buy a lot and order it for a long time, and he bought half of the inventory at once...

From the corner of his eye, he looked at the "recommendation by the staff" that was still inserted in "New Novel", and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
