During the lunch break, Jiang Shi sneaked out of the school through the side door.
She had done this kind of thing many times in her previous life.
There is a bookstore not far from the school gate. Many students usually come here to buy stationery and teaching aids.
Of course, there are also novels and comics that students like.
But a novel costs more than ten or twenty yuan, and not everyone has so much pocket money.
Among the student group, magazines that cost a few yuan a copy are more popular. There are all kinds of themes, such as "Just Because of Manke" and "Novel Collection".
But Jiang Shi came this time to see what the surprise that Sister Qinglan mentioned is.
"Boss, do you have the latest issue of "Story" here?"
Jiang Shi walked into the bookstore and scanned the shelves where magazines were usually placed, but did not find the shadow of "Story".
There were also many students who sneaked out of the store. They gathered under the bookshelf of novels, each holding a book, and were reading with relish.
"This is the last one." The boss handed over the one he was reading.
Jiang Shi looked down and found that it was an ordinary short-story magazine. He shook his head and said, "I want a long special issue. Is it out of stock?"
She was surprised. After accepting the impact of the Internet, it was rare to see magazines sold out.
Often the first batch of goods cannot be sold, and finally they can only be left in the warehouse to gather dust.
Even for a periodical like "Story" with a very wide audience and many subscriptions, the sales volume is average.
"It's gone. This new long issue of "Story" sells very well. If you want it, wait two days for the new stock to arrive."
The boss shook his head and pointed to an empty space on the shelf.
"All the goods in our warehouse are sold out."
Jiang Shi had no choice but to sneak back to school.
Unexpectedly, she, who submitted the manuscript, ended up with nothing to read, but it can also be seen that this bold step of "Story" is also effective.
Successfully tearing open the market of long-form serials, which is also the general trend. Only in this way can long-term user stickiness be guaranteed...
Returning to the classroom from the back door, Jiang Shi saw a group of boys gathered together, seemingly discussing something quietly.
"This murderer is so perverted, why only attack beautiful women?"
"Stupid, this must be a clue, just like the serial murders in Conan, in fact, it is just to cover up the real target."
"Don't you think this doctor has a sense of being a mastermind behind the scenes?"
"It's true that this doctor can see through the heroine at a glance. It's scary to think about it. Fortunately, he was locked up."
"I feel that this doctor will definitely escape and cause trouble later..."
Jiang Shi sounded familiar. Isn't this the plot she wrote?
From the gap between the people, I saw a book "Story" on the desk.
Behind the desk was Shen Qing, who was squeezed by the crowd and couldn't breathe.
"Ahem, Lao Zhuang is here."
Jiang Shi lowered his voice and said something beside him.
A group of boys immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and Jiang Shi was shocked by the speed.
Shen Qing supported his stiff arm, and before he could figure out what happened.
He saw a beautiful face with a smile, but the eyes flashing with thieves made him pull back half a step.
"Jiang Shi?"
"Let's discuss something, old classmate?" Jiang Shi leaned against the desk and took the magazine on the table, "Lend me this and I'll return it to you before school is over."
"This..." Shen Qing looked around, and the boys who had just surrounded him cast "no" eyes.
If Jiang Shi borrowed it, they would have nothing to read. There was never a group of boys around the girls, looking at them together with a thick face.
Shen Qing swallowed his saliva and felt a little tricky. On one side were his "good brothers" who shared happiness and suffered hardships.
On the other side was his old junior high school classmate who had recently become famous and was also a popular person under his old class.
Hiss, it's hard to offend anyone...
Seeing Shen Qing's hesitation, Jiang Shi looked around, and immediately made the others look away.
Then she leaned down and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't forget that you gave my Penguin account to someone else last time. I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
Jiang Shi waved her fist and looked fierce.
But it looked very cute to outsiders.
The final result was of course that Jiang won a great victory.
Shen Qing was glared at by his good brothers, and their eyes seemed to say: "How can you surrender to the enemy so easily!"
Chen Ran took everything to heart, but he felt a little regretful. If he hadn't been in a hurry to confess, maybe they could still start as friends...
Jiang Shi returned to the front row seat with the magazine, and the first thing that caught his eye was the rather shocking cover."Story" actually put her novel on the first page, a perfect center position!
You know, this is a very important position. When readers open the magazine, the first article is definitely the most important, and they read it most carefully.
And this often determines the first impression that a magazine leaves on readers.
Some newcomers can't even ask for a page.
The editorial department is equivalent to a hand of all-in, not to mention that "The Silence of the Lambs" belongs to the suspense crime genre that is not very popular in China.
However, seeing that the bookstore is out of stock, this time it must be a success.
Jiang Shi smacked his lips slightly and opened the catalog. In order to make the long special issue famous at once, "Story" also invited many writers to support it.
She knew a lot of them. Seeing her pen name ranked ahead of these old big names at this time, Jiang Shi couldn't help but feel subtle in her heart.
"If these people knew that Jiang Lai was actually a high school student, I wonder what they would think..."
Thinking of Sister Qinglan's words, Jiang Shi couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed a surprise.
At least it allowed her to transform from an unknown newcomer to the author of "Story", and she must have gained some fame.
Of course, opportunities and risks coexist. She only has two novels at most now, which is too few. If she can't come up with better works in the future, it's easy to fail...
But this is not a problem for Jiang Shi who has been reborn.
There are countless good works in her mind, and she can write for several years just by taking out a few of them.
"Oh, if there is a machine that can directly write what I think in my head."
Miss Jiang was daydreaming and didn't notice that the danger was slowly approaching...
"Class is about to start, classmate Jiang." A soft voice sounded beside her.
Miss Jiang was frightened and hurriedly put away the magazine.
After all, in the eyes of the teacher, all books except textbooks are miscellaneous books.
Pei Yunhua looked at him with a smile and said, "I heard that you won the first prize in the essay competition. You have become a celebrity in the office recently. Since you have brought honor to the school, I will not confiscate it this time. Be careful next time."
Comrade Xiao Jiang nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. Although Pei Yunhua looks like a soft girl who just graduated, she will not be lenient when she is strict. She will punish him as she should.
However, Jiang Shi still took advantage of the free time between classes and read the whole book "Story" like a thief before dinner.
