Chapter 54 Leaderboard

  Han Xiaoxiao plans to go to the bookstore.

  She is smiling Jiuquan. As for why she took this screen name, Han Xiaoxiao can't explain clearly.

  She went to the bookstore to buy "84 Charing Cross Road".

  She read this book on Twitter.

However, in her opinion, this book is a favorite of book lovers, so you have to buy a paper book and read it carefully. Some books can be read online, but some books need to be read again and again. Read it over and over again.

   "84 Charing Cross Road" is the book.

Their company is in a prosperous place, which belongs to the business center. There is an online celebrity bookstore nearby. The decoration style of the bookstore is very good, with a strong literary atmosphere. Han Xiaoxiao comes to read books from time to time, but she usually only reads books and does not buy books. As time goes by, I still feel a little guilty. If I can't do it today, she can walk in openly today, because she wants to buy books.

  The facade of the bookstore is not big, but it is designed with three floors. It can spiral up to the third floor along the gentle slope, which is a very good design. When Han Xiaoxiao entered the bookstore, the lobby on the first floor of the bookstore was holding book signings. The signboard was Yuan Fang, a backpacker writer who liked poetry and distant places. And moved people.

  Han Xiaoxiao used to like reading his books.

  However, one of his books is okay, two or three are fine, but too many are not. The chicken soup is delicious, but too much will make you tired.

  Of course, it’s good to change the taste once in a while, as a pastime.

  Han Xiaoxiao saw that the queue was very long, so he gave up the idea of ​​asking for an autograph when buying a book.

She searched for new books on sale in the front, and most of Yuan Fang's new books were placed on the table, almost occupying more than half of the entire new book cabinet. "84 Charing Cross Road" was in a corner, a total of three stacks, sold Go out some more.

   It seems to be selling well.

  Of course, compared to writers like Yuan Fang who have their own traffic, they are much worse.

  There is a sign erected in the special sale of new books, which says "This Week's Best New Books List", for readers who are shopping for new books to learn about the latest best-selling new books, and Yuan Fang's "The Far Side" tops the list.

  As for the newly released "84 Charing Cross Road", it naturally didn't make it to the tenth place.

Just as Han Xiaoxiao was going to pick up the book, a little girl wearing a bow tie took away the first book on it, "Hey, I heard that this book was written for the Great Demon King. Didn't you just say that the Great Demon King is super cool?" of!"

  Her companion pulled her: "You can watch it online, you don't need to buy it."

  The little girl with a bow tie asked her companion: "Have you read it online?"

  The companion stopped her from asking, tweeting so many gossips, except for those who really like reading, who would read such a long article. She urged the girl with a bow tie, "The Great Demon King Ku is singing. Hurry up, Yuan Fang is signing books, it's very commemorative."

  She pulled away the little girl with bowknot.

  The little girl with bowknot put down the book again.

  Han Xiaoxiao picked up the book, and felt that even if he was a big devil, he would be inferior in away games. However, this book is good, and she believes that one day, this book written for the Great Devil will be on the bestseller list of new books.

  When "84 Charing Cross Road" had a good prospect in China, Robinie looked at the book in her hand and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. After the translation, the book was published as scheduled.

but!

  This publicity is very interesting. It is said that an unknown person from the East got these letterheads by chance, and then organized them into a book, recreating the legendary relationship between an unknown writer in New York and a manager in London spanning more than 20 years.

   This completely changed the author!

   Of course, the author's name is still unknown.

  Robeni went to the publishing house, and the publishing house said that this is a publicity strategy to make readers mistakenly think that the protagonist in this book has existed in reality. .

   This is more selling point.

Originally, in reality, it was enough to touch people after passing on the book for more than 20 years without meeting each other. Now, the letter has been transferred to the East, and a person from the East has compiled and published it, adding to the legendary nature of the book. Added to the authenticity.

  This authenticity is enough to be a gimmick.

  The editor who was optimistic about this book even advised Robini not to be serious. Some people made a ghost movie and deliberately said it was recorded on a video tape. The author is still unknown, just to mislead the readers in publicity. When this book is sold well, with the eye contact, the author will have the title and profit of the next book.

  Robeni knows that this is a good painting.

   But what can she do.

  Everywhere people are xenophobic, which is rooted in human nature and will not be changed by cultural knowledge. Even xenophobia and discrimination are a kind of instinct in people's heart for self-protection.

  If this instinct disappears, either the person is a saint or not.

  Robeni’s biggest problem now is that she cannot explain to the country.

  What can she say, saying that your book is not easy to sell as an author, and you let the publishing house promote it as a collator, but the author's signature on the book is still anonymous.

  Does she know who took the copyright of this book from, and the big devil would care about this little money?

  She struggled for two days, so she could only talk to Susan on the phone first.

  Susan got a headache when she heard that, "This is discrimination. All right, I'll see Li Yu tomorrow."

  It's night in China now, but it's morning here in Robin.

She hung up the phone, her heart fell temporarily, and after sweeping away the mess on the table that she didn't want to clean up, she got a piece of milk oatmeal, and looked at her phone while eating. Since the divorce, her life has become so sloppy .

   As for the relaxation last time.

   Apart from reading the book "84 Charing Cross Road", she didn't get much.

  In other words, this book has gained a lot.

  Influenced by "No. 84", Robinie now likes reading more, and she is no longer limited to work books, but has a wider range of coverage, which allows her to discover many wonderful worlds and put her heart at ease.

"Um?"

  Robeni suddenly scrolled down the tweet she had posted, and she saw a book review about "84 Charing Cross Road".

   Just as she was about to take a closer look, the doorbell rang.

  Robeni was stunned for a moment, and then got up to open the door after hearing the doorbell ring again.

  Her ex-husband stood at the door.

  The ex-husband said: "Let me get my salute."

   He has some things that he didn't completely remove.

  Robeni waved her hand and let her ex-husband in.

After the ex-husband entered, he almost tripped over the messy shoes under his feet. He stood up straight, looked at the mess in the apartment, and the smell of food fermentation and aging in the air, he frowned: "You can't Clean up the house!"

  Robeni closed the door, and responded lightly: "Yes."

  The ex-husband glanced at the milk on the table again, "I told you, this carton of milk is going to expire, and now it's expired."

   Robinson said: "We're divorced!"

  The ex-husband was stunned for a moment, the air became quiet, he turned and went to the bedroom, and quickly came out with a suitcase, "I'm leaving."

"Um."

   Robinson responded.

boom!

  The door is closed.

  The air became quiet again.
