Congenital deficiency

Hong Lingyu's book was finally officially released on a certain day in May.

On the day of the release, Hong Lingyu couldn't help being curious, and accompanied by Hong Zhuo, he went to a nearby bookstore to see it.

The books are placed on the table that you can see as soon as you enter the door, and they are arranged in a row lavishly, which is very conspicuous.

Hong Lingyu picked up a copy, the book felt very thick in his hand, and the packaging was also very delicate, with the price on the back saying 69 yuan.

"Is it so expensive?" Hong Lingyu asked.

"It's not expensive." Hong Zhuo said, "Your cover design and the entire packaging alone are more than this price. This is the first book."

Meaning, the next one will be more expensive.

Too.Hong Zhuo found several people just for the cover. Although the price seems high, it is actually a book about the history of European courts. .

Hong Lingyu thought for a while, and then said: "Let's keep it simple for the next book. It doesn't need to be so troublesome." He just purely likes translating, and he has a career that he wants to stick to, even if he only relies on occasional translation. Once he takes on the job of translation, he won't be out of food, so there's really no need to play so hard.

Hongzhuo nodded, but didn't say anything.

Hong Lingyu opened the bookcase wrapped in cardboard, and opened the first page inside.I thought there would be a book title and the author’s name on this page, but I didn’t expect that several names were signed on it, including both English and Chinese names.

Then turn another page, which is a short recommendation of the book by the person who signed it.

"This book has a unique perspective. It is exciting and fresh to see all the stories from the perspective of the clerk in the European court." The signature is a foreigner.

"The stories of European courts have been told a lot in various works over the years, but there are not many who have translated the history vividly and vividly like the translator of this book." Behind this recommendation is a Chinese The name, and this name Hong Lingyu happened to recognize, he is a great translator who has translated many foreign works.

"If you ask me, the stories about the European court..."

Hong Lingyu looked down line by line and counted, there were as many as eight professors, writers, and translators who left messages on it.

These are obviously not in the sample booklet.

"When was it added?" Hong Lingyu asked.

"I asked them to add it the night before publication." Hong Zhuo answered calmly.

"..." The people in the publishing house worked overtime in the middle of the night, so they must hate themselves.Hong Lingyu had a headache.

Then I turned a page back, and it turned out to be a piece of plastic film sealing, and a simple drawing of the translator's... profile portrait with colored pencils.The person in the painting is sitting behind a desk with a laptop in front of him, looking sideways out of the window, with one hand resting on his chin, and a serious expression on his face.

The corner of Hongzhuo's eyes twitched: "Where did this come from?" His tone looked like a storm was about to come.

Hong Lingyu was also confused, frowning: "I don't know."

"...I'll go out for a while." Hong Zhuo gave the bodyguard who had changed into everyday clothes a look, telling him to protect the good guy, and went outside the bookstore to make a phone call.

Hong Lingyu was staring at the book in his hand very seriously, so he didn't hear that behind him, there were two or three little girls together, who were staring at his back and whispered excitedly: "It's so handsome! ! Little milk dog!"

Another: "Ahhh... I can!"

The third tone sounds a little calmer, but it's not much better: "I like the one just now better, mature! But what's the relationship between them? They can't be a couple!"

Hong Zhuo came back from the phone call quickly, with a serious expression on his face: "It's Hong Xiaxuan." Someone from the publishing house suggested that Master Zhang is so handsome, if you put the photo on it, the book will definitely sell quickly!But probably out of consideration for the displeasure of my elder brother and father who were afraid of offending me, I ended up drawing a sketch and pasting it up.

Hongzhuo stared at the neatly stacked rows of books on the shelf, and began to seriously consider buying all the books on the market now, is there still time?

Seeing the look in his eyes, Hong Lingyu was so frightened that he pulled him up and left: "What do you want to do? Just let it go. It's just a portrait anyway, and it doesn't have a full face. It doesn't matter."

In the corner, the three girls were so excited that they wanted to rip each other's arms green: "Did you see that?!!! Normal straight guys walk away holding hands like this!!! They definitely have adultery!"

After the two left, several girls rushed over, picked up the book that Hong Lingyu was holding just now, flipped through it, and were immediately attracted.

"Is the packaging so good?"

"Oh, look inside!! The one inside, is it the little milk dog just now??"

"Really!!"

But in the end, the three girls bought a copy of this book after buying the counseling materials and overdrawing the money for two meals.

On the way back, Hong Zhuo remembered the email he had received and asked Hong Lingyu, "Baby, Professor J asked me if you are interested in studying for a master's degree in German."

Professor J is a professor in the German Department of Hongzhuo and Hongxiaxuan University's alma mater. He is proficient in English, German and Chinese.In order for Professor J to write the recommendation reasons for the title page, he once sent him two chapters for him to read.Unexpectedly, after reading it, the professor was full of praise for Hong Lingyu, and in his words, he seemed willing to accept him as a student.

Hong Lingyu blinked, but didn't answer right away.

His current ability is almost lazily "inherited" from his elder brother, and it cannot be counted as his.If possible, he would like to go to study by himself, and continue to do this thing that he and his brother love.

But he is actually not sure if he is ready to return to social life.

It would be too embarrassing and embarrassing for him to rely on the shape of the teacher's mouth when the time comes.

What's more, he is still on a leave of absence, and he hasn't even got his undergraduate diploma...

The sales volume of the book was exceptionally good, let alone Hong Lingyu, even Hong Zhuo, Hong Xiaxuan and his son were a little surprised by this.

It has only been released for half a month, and many media on the Internet are recommending this book. On various social platforms, this book is also very popular among girls.

"Just show off the face of this little brother! Trust me, you won't regret buying this book!"

When the sales were counted towards the end of May, in less than half a month, three to four thousand copies of this book were bought, and the sales were showing a gradual upward trend.

The editor in charge of releasing this book has been smiling these past few days, and has become the happiest person in the entire editorial department.

Seeing that the sales volume was so good and it would only get higher in the future, he immediately had an idea and called the person sent by Hong's to deal with this matter.

"Signing?" When Xiao Zhengping came to deliver the documents to Hongzhuo, he mentioned it by the way.

Hong Zhuo frowned, his first reaction was to refuse.

But after much deliberation, he couldn't make a decision for Hong Lingyu: "What did you say?"

Xiao Zhengping said: "I said I would bring the matter to you. Young Master Zhang probably will have to think about it for two days."

Hong Zhuo nodded, and then told Hong Lingyu at lunch time.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to," Hong Zhuo added, "You can think about it slowly, don't worry."

Hong Lingyu nodded.He actually wanted to go, but he was afraid that if there were too many people, he would have a stress reaction like before.

These days, he was able to go to many occasions with Hong Zhuo's company, and it seemed that the situation had improved a lot.But he wasn't sure how good this was.

That night, when Hong Zhuo brought him milk, Hong Lingyu said, "I...I want to sign the book." He wanted better, and he also wanted the book to sell better.

Hong Zhuo was not surprised, nodded, "I'll arrange it." He had already considered this matter today, and felt that it might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Although he really wanted to take this baby back to his nest and hide it in front of others.

"I'll arrange this." He had thought about it a long time ago, and in the afternoon he also drew up a plan. As long as Hong Lingyu decided to go, he would send it to Xiao Zhengping.

"En." Hong Lingyu took a sip of milk and glanced at him.

Hong Zhuo was lowering his head to consider what else to prepare for the signing, when the palm on his lap was pinched by two warm fingers.

"Thank you." Thank you with a milky scent.

Hong Zhuo held his finger that was about to retract, brought it to his lips and kissed it: "Don't be polite to me."

The first book signing was held at the bookstore they went to last time. The publishing house screened people online in advance, called and chatted with each other, and finally confirmed [-] places.

It's really the smallest signing event since the establishment of the publishing house....

Among the fifteen people this time, one was a girl who had met Hongzhuo Honglingyu in the bookstore before.

When her other two little friends received the call, they couldn't help but "ahhh" a few times, and then they were politely rejected. She reacted quickly and adopted a completely different strategy from them. On the phone, I established a quiet and well-behaved image, who doesn't like to be noisy, and only likes to read quietly.

Then she successfully got the No.12 place.

After hanging up the phone, looking at the other two friends, the three of them "ahhhhh" hugged again.

"You want three autographs for me this time! Only one for each of us!!!" One of them hugged her and howled.

There were people coming and going in the bookstore, and a large space was circled around the teahouse in advance, and the glass doors were closed. Even the person who presided over the signing event was not arranged.

So when Hong Lingyu introduced herself according to the script prepared in advance, Hong Zhuo stood behind the auditorium, and Hong Lingyu didn't look at those strange eyes, but looked at him across the crowd, and gradually became less nervous stiff.

After a few words of introduction, Hong Zhuo announced in a low voice: "The signing session begins."

He is also the host of the book signing event with the fewest words ever seen since the bookstore was established.

The number of readers was too small, and the readers were also very well-educated. They waited quietly in line, opened the books one by one, and pushed them to Hong Lingyu for him to sign.

The table was specially chosen by Hongzhuo, and the width is 1.5 meters, separating the readers from Honglingyu from a distance.When signing, Hong Zhuo stood aside, like an old hen guarding chickens, always alert to those readers who tried to shorten the distance, and raised his arms in time to block them.

When the No. 12 girl in line came over, she put down the three books she had flipped through in her hand, blushing with unconcealed excitement and painstaking efforts, and said: "Mr. Zhang, your book is really great. I bought a copy with my friends, but unfortunately they can't come today, can you please sign for us?"

Hong Lingyu slightly avoided the gaze of strangers, her left hand, which was not holding a pen, was already covered with sweat, her sitting posture was also very stiff due to nervousness, and her waist was already a little sore.

He didn't see clearly what the girl was talking about, but he guessed that the other party asked him to sign all three books, so he nodded and signed each of them as she asked.

"Thank you!" The girl quickly bowed to him and ran away holding the three signed books.

The author has something to say: on weekends, it will be updated in advance!
