From abandoned baby to CEO

A new book was to be released and printed. The publisher contacted Sun Xue and asked Sun Xue how many copies he needed to print.

Sun Xue herself couldn't make up her mind. She was afraid that if she printed too many copies and couldn't sell them, she would lose them all.

She found the printing factory, who told Sun Xue that the minimum printing quantity for the black and white version was 500 copies; the minimum printing quantity for the color version was 200 copies. The higher the printing quantity, the lower the cost.

She was hesitant. Su Di was experienced in this area, but he couldn't even contact anyone now.

The new issue of the magazine has also come out. Although the sales situation is better than the first issue, it is not ideal.

They can still discuss things together while Sudi is around. Now, everything is on her shoulders alone.

Suddenly, she felt more pressure than she had ever felt before.

In the end, she followed the publisher's advice and printed 500 copies for the first time. She invested all her savings.

She thinks it shouldn’t be very difficult to sell 500 copies.

Unexpectedly, her prediction of the market was too optimistic.

She took the printed book to Xinhua Bookstore, the largest bookstore in Quancheng City. The person in charge of the bookstore saw that it was a newcomer's work and ignored her. After her persistence, the other party agreed to let her try out a dozen books first.

Later, she discovered that her book was placed in an inconspicuous location in the novel section.

She visited all the bookstores in Quancheng City, large and small, and the situation was the same as Xinhua Bookstore. The person in charge of the bookstore did not think highly of her books, so naturally they placed her books in an inconspicuous position.

A week has passed, and less than ten of the books she put in the bookstore have been sold.

During this period, she was also busy preparing for the new issue of the magazine, and the sudden pressure began to make her feel breathless.

She began to suffer from insomnia.

Her new book was not selling well and her magazines were struggling to survive. Coupled with her heavy studies, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

The only income I currently have is royalties from the weekly novel series and tuition fees from training schools.

Because she put all her money into new books in a desperate move, but the new books failed to realize cash, she was immediately stretched.

The printing costs for the next issue of the magazine have not been settled yet. If this continues, the magazine will probably die midway...

It turns out that normal life is suddenly in chaos!

The most critical issue now was to quickly sell the hundreds of books that were backlogged in her hands. She began to think about this issue.

There are only a few sales channels for books: bookstores, book fairs, and self-promotion.

She began to pay attention to the book fair in Quancheng City, but she found that there were very few opportunities like this, not even once a month.

On the other hand, other big cities have such opportunities. She calculated her own calculations. If she went to other cities to participate in book exhibitions, the transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, and meals would add up to a large amount of expenses. Even so, there's no guarantee the book will sell well.

.....

On Sunday, she went to a few bookstores to check out the recent sales of her books. What she didn't expect was that almost no one was interested in her book.

She rushed home in despair. This ending was something she did not expect.

Before she published a book, she was full of confidence. She felt that once her book was on the market, let alone becoming a hit, it would not be a big problem to sell a few hundred copies. Who knew it would be so disastrous.

Sitting on the bus home, her mood hit rock bottom.

She opened the door in frustration, and what she saw in front of her made her scream:

"Sudi?"

Su Di stood in front of her, smiled and said calmly: "Sun Xue, I'm back!"

"Su Di, why did you leave without saying goodbye? I couldn't even get through on the phone..."

Sun Xue's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Didn't you just expect me to leave? That's why I came and left without saying goodbye when I was angry!"

Su Di said with a smirk on his face.

"Sudi, I thought you went to study abroad and never came back!"

“I almost went abroad, but when the plane was about to take off, I suddenly changed my mind and canceled the ticket without hesitation.

I thought I would slowly forget about you after such a long time, but I didn’t expect that I miss you more and more intensely. I can’t deceive myself.

So I convinced my parents and came to see you again. "

As he spoke, Su Di had tears in his eyes.

"Sun Xue, can I hug you?"

Before she agreed, Su Di held her in his arms and murmured to himself: "Sun Xue, I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay with you until the moment my heart stops beating! "

Her tears fell immediately.

Ever since Su Di left, she felt empty in her heart and something seemed missing from her life.

Without Su Di's help, she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. After being together for such a long time, they had a tacit understanding and a kind of dependence.

.....

Su Di told Sun Xue that he left without saying goodbye and returned to his home in Shanghai when he was angry.

He turned off the phone, trying to calm down, try to forget the past and start a new life.

He completed the procedures to study in Switzerland, and for the sake of his family, he even found a nanny for him to go abroad to take care of his food and daily life.

Just when he was about to board the plane in the airport terminal, he suddenly remembered what he said to Sun Xue. His wish had not been fulfilled yet, and he was afraid that his departure might leave lifelong regrets.

So he resolutely changed his mind, canceled the air ticket to go abroad, turned around and walked out of the waiting hall...

.....

"Sudhi, don't you regret your decision?"

Su Di smiled freely and said: "Life is short, I don't want to deceive myself. I just want to listen to my inner voice and be my true self."

Su Di's sudden return brought warmth to the home again.

.....

Only then did Sun Xue realize that Su Di's hairstyle had changed after not seeing him for such a long time.

Sun Xue was a little surprised and pointed at Su Di's hair and asked: "What's your hairstyle?"

Su Di scratched his head and said sheepishly: "The day before I came to you, I went to the barber shop. As soon as I cut the scissors, my braids fell to the ground. I want to start everything from scratch!"

Sun Xue laughed and joked: "When the pigtails are cut, the poet's temperament is gone!"

......

"By the way, Sun Xue, has your new book been released?"

"Forget it, it's all in my own hands. A total of 500 books were printed and less than 20 were sold. I'm worried to death now!"

Sun Xue said with a frustrated look.
