1987 My Era

Chapter 292, Her Temptation, Cultural Journey is Hot (Please Subscribe!)
After waiting in line for half an hour, it was finally our turn.

Ye Ning glanced at the new books for sale sign at the door and shouted, "Give me five copies of "Cultural Journey."

The staff member gave her 5 books without saying a word.

Ye Ning took the lead, and Sun Manning, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe followed suit and each asked for 5 books.

When it was Li Heng's turn, the staff member thought he would also want 5 books, so he took the initiative to say, "There are only two left."

Li Heng was stunned, "Out of stock?"

The staff took down the new books for sale sign from the wall, took out two copies of "Cultural Journey", and asked him, "Do you want any?"

Before Li Heng could reply, the girl behind him got anxious and pulled Li Heng's sleeve and said, "Li Heng, give me one of these books. I'm also from Fudan University and I've seen you play the erhu and the ocarina."

Li Heng turned around and took a look. He didn't recognize the other person, but since he said so, how could he not give way?
After all, they are here to support me.

He asked for one, and the girl behind him also asked for one.

After the last two copies were sold out, the staff picked up a small loudspeaker and shouted, "It's out of stock. Cultural Journey is out of stock. No need to queue up. You can go to other Xinhua bookstores to look."

Upon hearing this, the team immediately became noisy, and someone asked in a loud voice: "When will the book be available?"

The staff explained: "We have already gone to pick up the goods, but we still have to wait at least an hour."

After all, they are all in Shanghai, not far away. Even if they are out of stock, you can go and purchase them immediately with cash.

If it were in other cities, wow! Then we would just have to wait for the next batch of books to be distributed.

Neither of the two dormitory rooms bought any books, but since they were already there, they decided to just keep waiting.

After chatting with the student union president for a few words, Li Heng followed the four girls back to Lushan Village.

On the way, the four girls were very grateful. If they had arrived a step later this morning, they would have had to wait another hour.

As soon as he arrived at the alley, before he had time to enter the house, he saw Teacher Yu open the courtyard door and said to Li Heng: "You have a phone call."

Wow! You actually spoke today?

In the past, her cold eyes would have swept across him like lightning, and then she would have turned and walked into the house, with the interval never exceeding one second and without any pause.

Li Heng asked: "Teacher, who is looking for me?"

Yu Shuheng was very frugal with words: "Editor-in-Chief Liao."

Hearing this, Li Heng had basically guessed what the call was about.

He handed the book to Mai Sui and said, "Take them in first. I'll make a phone call."

Mai Sui said yes.

The two walked into the house, one in front of the other, and went up to the second floor. Yu Shuheng asked, "Are you going to the Xinhua Bookstore?"

Li Heng replied: "Yes."

Yu Shuheng turned around and looked at him, then asked, "Coffee? Or tea?"

Li Heng was surprised. The teacher seemed to be in a good mood today. After coming here so many times, this was the first time he took the initiative to ask him what he wanted to drink.
After being ignored for almost a whole semester, he was suddenly shown care. He was a little flattered, but also a little unsure. Was he up to something weird again?

Honestly speaking, he was a little overwhelmed by this teacher Yu who kept switching between cold and hot personalities.

His thoughts quickly crossed his mind, and he said, "Coffee and sugar, thank you."

Li Heng sat down on the sofa and ignored her. He picked up the receiver and started dialing.

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

After a while, the call was connected and the voice of Editor-in-Chief Liao came from the other end.

"Li Heng?"

"Uncle Liao, it's me. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao was delighted as he congratulated them, saying, "Yes, it is a good thing. Within two hours of its release, 20 copies of Cultural Journey have been sold. This is an unprecedented feat! Congratulations!"

Then the other party added: "By the way, Mr. Ba was very happy after hearing that the first batch of new books were sold out. He asked me to tell you that you are amazing!"

Li Heng happily said thank you twice.

Yu Shuheng held a cup of coffee in her hand, stood behind him, looked at his profile, and listened to his pleasant conversation with Editor-in-Chief Liao. She felt inexplicably and surprisingly peaceful in her heart.

After a while, she put the coffee in front of him and, for the first time, put three candies in it.

Not more, not less, just three candies, which was exactly the number Li Heng had when he drank coffee last time.

Afterwards, she made herself a cup of coffee and sat elegantly opposite him, looking at him quietly and listening to him talking on the phone.

Editor-in-Chief Liao said on the phone: "Today's sales are very good, the market response is enthusiastic, much better than I and the magazine imagined.

Just now, we received news from all over the country that the book was sold out. In Beijing and Guangzhou, it was even sold out before 9 a.m. According to the feedback from the Xinhua Bookstore there, many people were still waiting in line.

Li Heng, your fame is now at its peak, and TV stations all over the country are following up on this and reporting on it. This is a phenomenal event, a great feat! You have created a miracle!"

Editor-in-Chief Liao, who said this, seemed to have returned to his youth, back to the age of 30, full of pride and excitement!
What a miracle!
Didn’t we agree to be well prepared?

It’s sold out. Even the Xinhua Bookstore in Shanghai is out of stock. That’s all money!
Big money!
If we continue to do this, the market will be taken over by pirated books.

Li Heng was very anxious, so anxious that he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Liao, didn't you say that the stock was sufficient? Why did it run out of stock so quickly?"

Editor Liao smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect it to be so popular!
But don't worry, we have already printed 50 more copies, which have already been distributed all over the country and will arrive at all bookstores by 12 noon at the latest."

Li Heng asked: "Only 50 copies? Are there any more copies to be printed?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao seemed to have guessed his thoughts: "It's being printed! It's being printed! According to the number of new rounds of pre-orders from Xinhua Bookstores across the country, we are currently planning to print a second batch of 50 copies.

And just now, when you called, 4.3 additional copies had already been snatched away by major Xinhua stores in Shanghai for cash."

50 plus 50, plus the 20 already sold, the total is 120 million copies!

Li Henggang's anxious heart suddenly calmed down a lot, but he still poured the magic potion:
"I'm such a famous writer, Uncle Liao, you have to believe in me. Show some courage and print 200 million copies directly. It will definitely sell well."

Editor-in-Chief Liao covered the receiver and said to Mr. Ba: "Teacher, did you hear that? This kid is starting to get cocky."

Mr. Ba nodded and said with a smile: "He is worried about the money."

Editor-in-Chief Liao has dealt with Li Heng many times and agrees with him. "It's all about money. Otherwise, you can't poke him with a stick."

Editor-in-Chief Liao explained to him: "Li Heng, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. According to the current trend, perhaps 200 million copies is not a dream.

But you may not know much about this industry. Now all major publishing houses have only one distribution channel for books, which is Xinhua Bookstore. Before we make any decision to reprint, we must base it on the demand from all over the country, otherwise we will end up wasting our money.”

Fearing that he might be resentful, Chief Editor Liao patiently explained to him a lot about the sales operation logic behind the books, and Li Heng did not get angry at all after listening to him.

There is no way. The current system is like this. It is rigidly bounded by various rules and regulations, and power is concentrated in the hands of a single institution. It is impossible to expand and sell flexibly as in later generations.

The phone call lasted for a long time. Although Li Heng felt a little helpless, he felt comfortable overall.

After all, "Cultural Journey" is a big seller!

Every minute and every second is making money for myself, making fame and reputation!

How can it not be comfortable?
After putting down the receiver, Li Heng couldn't help but take a big sip of coffee like water. Hmm! It tasted good, slightly bitter with sweetness, and it had a layered texture.

After watching him drink coffee for a while, Yu Shuheng took out two plane tickets from her bag and handed them to him:
"The flight is at 8: tomorrow morning. We have to leave before daybreak. You and Shihe should get up early."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Li Heng took the plane ticket, looked at it carefully, and asked, "How much is it?" Yu Shuheng didn't ask him about money. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "Leave me one of your second bedrooms. There's also something delicious ready. Remember to call me."

Li Heng was speechless. Why did he feel like he was in trouble, the kind that he couldn't get rid of?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she asked, "Why? Don't you want to?"

Li Heng tried to say, "Teacher, it's not good for a man and a woman to live in the same room. It can easily lead to misunderstandings. I am willing to pay."

After staring at him for a while, Yu Shuheng held out her hand and said, "Give me back my ticket. I'm not going."

Li Heng's eyelids twitched. "Don't, don't! Doing this will damage your image in my mind?"

Yu Shuheng asked: "What image do you have of me?"

Li Heng said: "Bright and beautiful, intellectual and elegant, with a strong scent of books, giving people a noble feeling at first glance."

"Oh."

Yu Shuheng said, crossing her legs for the rare occasion: "I thought you would say: an iceberg during the day and a goblin at night."

Li Heng thought to himself, what a great summary, indeed!
After a while of confrontation, Yu Shuheng took a step back: "You are afraid that Xiao Han will misunderstand, so I won't go over this weekend."

Li Heng asked: "Reason?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Sleep paralysis."

Li Heng asked: "Can I change it?"

Yu Shuheng said: "Sleep paralysis."

Li Heng frowned: "I'm tired of hearing this."

Yu Shuheng raised her chin slightly and said, "Why don't you try sleeping in my bedroom tonight."

He was a little scared of that thing and didn't really want to provoke it.

Li Heng asked: "Really?"

Yu Shuheng didn't answer, just stared at him.

After staring at each other for a while, Li Heng asked again: "What do you mean by delicious food calling you? What is the standard for delicious food?"

Yu Shuheng said: "There is no standard, it depends on your mood."

That's good enough. Li Heng nodded, "Deal."

After saying this, he was very depressed: "I feel like I've lost a lot, but I can't figure out why."

The corners of Yu Shuheng's mouth curled up slightly, her smiling eyes were like silver stars, and her whole person was like a melodious ancient poem, intellectual and profound, which made people intoxicated.

Seeing that he was staring at her, she picked up the coffee and took a sip, then let her hair down, unbuttoned her coat, and continued to drink coffee with a smile.

Li Heng's face twitched, and he hastily looked away. He drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, stood up and said, "Teacher, thank you for the coffee. I'm leaving now."

Yu Shuheng raised his head with a sly smile on his face.

Li Heng felt as if there was a knife stabbing his back, as if it was going to chop off his head at any time.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

When she counted to the twelfth or thirteenth step, she said lightly, "There are 20 copies of Cultural Journey on the sofa on the first floor. They were sent by Editor-in-Chief Liao. Leave one for the teacher and sign it."

Li Heng said nothing and went downstairs to the first floor. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he disappeared from her sight.

Grandma is a bitch!
He finally understood that it was not only charm that could tempt people in the world, but intelligence could also tempt people.

It is silent and hard to guard against.

Teacher Yu seemed to be an expert at this, and was particularly good at utilizing his own advantages. If I had not been reborn, I might have been tricked at the age of 18.

Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Li Heng looked towards the sofa.

really!

Sure enough, there was a pile of books lying there. A quick glance showed that there were about 20 books.

I felt my pocket and found that I didn't bring a pen. When I was about to look for it, one suddenly appeared from behind.

Li Heng suddenly turned around, startled, slapped his forehead three times and said, "Teacher, why are you walking without making any sound?"

"No sound?"

Yu Shuheng looked him up and down for a while, then took two steps closer, leaned close to his ear, and moved her red lips:
"Little boy, were you slacking off just now? Wouldn't you look more beautiful through your clothes?"

After saying that, she took a step back, then another step back, stretched, left the living room, and went outside to the yard.

Her figure was graceful and her small steps revealed a calm and dignified manner, as if the devilish words just now did not come from her mouth.

It was as if the words just now had never been remembered.

If there wasn't a faint pleasant feminine scent still lingering on the tip of his nose, Li Heng would have thought it was an illusion?

However, he was not fascinated by the tempting words just now.

He always felt that something was wrong. Rather than saying that Teacher Yu was seducing him, it was more like she was reminding himself that she looked more beautiful through clothes.

What the hell does it mean that it looks more beautiful through clothes?
As he was thinking, at a certain moment, Li Heng shuddered all over. It couldn't be that night.
Oh my god! He was so frightened that he stopped thinking immediately.

He unscrewed the pen, quickly turned the title page of a book, bent down and signed his name: December.

And include the date below.

At this time, a lazy voice came from outside, "Write your real name."

Li Heng stood outside the door, pondered for a while, and added the words "Li Heng".

The 19 new books are a bit heavy. Holding them in my arms, they are heavier than the drunk Teacher Yu.

Bah! Whatever she did, she led me astray.

Teacher Yu was watering the flowers in the yard. Li Heng glanced at her and left quickly.

"Hey! Li Heng, why did you bring back so many books? Did Teacher Yu buy them?" Sun Manning couldn't help asking as soon as she entered the door.

"No, it was sent by Editor-in-Chief Liao." Li Heng briefly explained the whole story.

Later, he took out two plane tickets from his pocket and said to Zhou Shihe, "Comrade Shihe, the flight is at 8:6 tomorrow. We will leave from school at o'clock. Can you make it?"

Zhou Shihe, who was reading a book, poked half of his head out from behind the book and said yes gently.

Ye Ning asked: "Li Heng, what are you going to do with all these books?"

Li Heng said: "Give it to someone, a collector's edition."

Seeing the four girls looking at him, he explained, "I will personally write a message on each of these 19 books. It's unique, and I won't write again after I finish writing."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Don't stare at me. One for each of you four."
