Sai Yi actually didn't want to come to this signing event.

It wasn't because of Qiao Jing, he didn't even know that Qiao Jing lived in this city.The main reason is that after a signing session, it takes too much energy. Not only do you have to keep a smile on the readers, but you are almost exhausted just signing the autographs.

"Stop complaining, didn't you just publish a new book? Although the website will help you find someone to market it to, you should also do your part," Wang Cheng said to him on the phone, and he also provoked him with Qiao Jing, " After Jinghuashuiyue leaves, you will be the face of Xingchen.com, and you also know the website's next plan. At that time, we will take the lead in organizing this webwriting ceremony with other websites. If you don't win the grand prize, the high-level executives will not look good. "

"Are you kidding me?" Sa Yi said gloomily, "I have more than 100 readers alone. Who would dare to suppress me?"

Wang Cheng snorted and said, "Who knows. Anyway, as long as you know it in your heart, I've already arranged the signing event for you, so you just have to go through the motions."

"...Understood." Sayi could only reluctantly agree.

This old Wang, when he was in charge of Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water, was known as a thorny editor, and he never ambiguously robbed people of resources. Many authors inside him shun him.

Now that the top executives of Xingchen.com have assigned him to take charge of him, it is estimated that the idea is to give Yi Tianzao a stick.

Sa Yi was sitting behind the long table, thinking about the affairs of Wangcheng, while listening to the enthusiastic introduction of the host next to him, quickly turning the pen in his hand, and showing a casual smile to the readers who had bought books and waited in line for autographs.

The female fans in the crowd immediately screamed softly, whispering excitedly to their companions.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the readers, Sayi finally relieved the depression that had been pent up in his chest.

He casually looked into a corner of the bookstore, but when he saw Qiao Jing standing there, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"The following is the signing session that readers and friends are looking forward to... Teacher Saen, what's wrong with you?"

The host held up the microphone with a smile on his face, and just halfway through speaking, Sa Yi, who was next to him, suddenly stood up from his seat.

The crowded bookstore instantly fell silent.

Everyone was looking at him, puzzled.

The host thought something was wrong, so he quickly took the microphone away and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Saen, are you feeling unwell?"

"...No." Sayi's eyes flashed, and he sat down again suddenly.

He snatched the microphone from the host's hand, raised the corners of his lips, and said to the readers: "Everyone, thank you for coming to support my work today. My new book "Legend of the Unicorn" has started serialization on Xingchen.com Now, friends who like my previous works can also go and have a look.”

After a pause, he continued: "So, in order to express my gratitude to everyone here, readers who come here to participate in the autograph session today and buy any of my novels can choose a book for free from the discounted books provided by the bookstore." !"

After the words fell, the readers at the scene immediately cheered.

But the face of the bookstore owner suddenly changed. No one discussed this event with him before the signing event!

Sayi glanced at him, sneered disdainfully, lowered his voice and said to the host: "Tell him, take out all the fictional novels in the store and put them together with those discounted books, and I will pay for it."

The host wiped his sweat: "This...isn't that good?"

Although he didn't know the conflict between Sayi and the author whose pseudonym was Jinghua Shuiyue, this kind of operation was a bit too insulting.No one wants the works created by themselves to be bound to other people's works, why don't you buy one and get one free?

"Then you're going to pay the bill?" Sai narrowed his eyes and said threateningly, "Don't forget, my words have already been released, and the readers are waiting below."

There is no way, the host can only follow suit.

With his chin propped up, Sayi watched coldly the readers swarming up excitedly and snatched up the pile of discounted books. He looked over the crowd and looked in the direction of Qiao Jing.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, thinking of how Qiao Jing ignored him when he participated in the author conference for the first time, and the scene where he is sitting on the stage surrounded by readers and fans now is in stark contrast. A distorted joy can't help but emerge in my heart.

"Brother Jing," he said with his mouth, "I know you're short of money after you terminate the contract, I'll pay the bill, you're welcome." '

Even though she was provoked face to face by Sayi, Qiao Jing's face remained expressionless.

Among the rabid fans, he was even a little too calm.

The young man put one hand in his coat pocket, and even looked down at the message from the editor leisurely, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

On the contrary, 008, who was lying on his shoulder, was half dead with anger: "Bah! The villain is successful! If you didn't take the initiative to terminate the contract, no one would want those bad books written by this bastard to burn firewood!"

"No way," Qiao Jing put away his phone after replying to the message, and he corrected seriously, "Part of the people in this bookstore are here to join in the fun, and the other half are indeed here for Saen himself."

008 couldn't believe it: "Hey, I'm speaking for you! Don't you think he's annoying?"

It was so angry that it was about to explode!

Seeing this, Qiao Jing had no choice but to say: "I have already told the editor that my book happens to be published on the same channel as Saen, so there is no need to avoid it."

008 immediately turned around and looked at him eagerly: "Really?"

Qiao Jing: "Why did I lie to you?"

In order to prevent others from thinking that he is a psycho who talks to cats, Qiao Jing always wears wireless earphones when he goes out.

But the black-haired young man with a smile on his lips, acting as if no one else was there, in Sa Yi's view, it means that Qiao Jing is the same as a few years ago, and he doesn't take himself seriously at all.

"asshole!"

He squeezed the pen in his hand until he was questioned suspiciously by the readers at the front of the line. Then he came back to his senses, forced a smile, and continued to sign with his head down.

At this time, Qiao Jing had already left the bookstore.

After a short period of happiness, 008 began to worry again: "I just checked on the Internet, and Liuliu.com has cooperation with 110 novel websites, but there are [-] novel websites on Xingchen.com! And the most prominent ones on those channel websites The position is also theirs, what can we do?"

"Don't worry, the text is so good." Qiao Jing said calmly.

008 muttered in a low voice, "It's that sentence again... But the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. It's like being a star, no matter how handsome you are, no matter how good your acting skills are, you won't be popular without the company's support."

It thought Qiao Jing would retort, but it didn't expect the young man to stop and think for a while, then nodded and said, "You're right."

"Then are you willing to let me promote it for you?" 008 excitedly said, "I promise, the whole network will be covered in one night!"

Qiao Jing coughed: "You're too obvious, I'm afraid I won't be found."

If the content he wrote spread all over the Internet one day...Qiao Jing thought about it, it might cause an uproar in the whole country, no, the whole world, right?

Although it will be a matter of time before the current trend continues to develop like this, Qiao Jing still feels that judging from the current plot progress of "Song of the Earth", it is still too early.

Before accumulating enough chips, he didn't want to get the entire website blocked.

"I'll talk to readers," he said, "Just say, 'I hope everyone will support and subscribe, and the new book will be on the shelves soon. If the results on the channel are good, I will publish two chapters as a thank you', how about it?"

"........."

008's cat face, which was as black as black briquettes, showed a look of despair again.

Don't think it doesn't know!

Those rich and powerful authors of Xingchen.com, thank the readers for buying watches and bags and cosmetics worth thousands of dollars!Even if it is a burst update, it will be tens of thousands of words for several days in a row without stopping, okay?

Today's readers are very picky, there are only two chapters, who cares!

But Qiao Jing felt that his idea was very good. After returning home, he turned on the virtual space and began to code.

After finishing the update, he added this sentence above the introduction of "Song of the Earth".

Ding Qi who saw the refreshed profile in the lab:! ! ! !

He immediately called his mentor and told him about it.

"On shelves? Channels?" Gao Xinglu had never read online articles before, so he didn't understand the meaning of these terms. "What are these things?"

So Ding Qi explained it to him, and Gao Xinglu nodded: "So it's similar to the selection of academicians? I understand."

Ding Qi: "...No, teacher, you think this is too complicated."

Gao Xinglu laughed twice, but soon became serious, and said: "In short, since the author has specifically mentioned it in the introduction, we must also support it! Think about it, the update of two chapters is nearly [-] words , and the content in the notes does not count the number of words, how much dry stuff will there be? Xiao Ding, you go tell the people in the laboratory now, let them all mobilize people in their circle of friends, and support Yan Heqing!"

Before Ding Qi could speak, Gao Xinglu, who was afraid that these young people would be unreliable, added another sentence: "Don't take it to heart, you all know how much the book "Song of the Earth" has helped us in our research. It's almost the end of the year, and I still have some doctoral student subsidies left, and the completion of this task will also be included in the assessment criteria by then."

Hearing the subsidy, Ding Qi immediately lifted his spirits: "Good mentor, I promise to complete the task!"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Xinglu looked at the phone and snorted, "Young people nowadays, do you think I don't know you?"

However, it is definitely not enough to rely on them alone.

No matter how awesome the tutor is, his energy is limited, and the number of doctoral students under his hands can basically be counted with a slap.

But after Gao Xinglu stayed in the Chinese Academy of Sciences for so many years, he knew more than one or two old guys.

A doctoral student's relatives, friends, brothers and sisters may not be a big deal, but when the academician spoke, that night, the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences, including several doctoral students and even undergraduates from 985211 universities, were all busy ...

Qiao Jing woke up the next day, only to find that 008 had disappeared.

He searched around the room, and finally found the little black cat with its belly spread out and dizzy as if it had sucked too much catnip on the deck chair on the balcony.

It hugged the small dried fish pillow in its arms happily, and laughed like an idiot:

"Hey, so many reputation points are all mine...hehe..."

Qiao Jing silently watched 008 rolling all over the floor.

This is... crazy?
