Chapter 55 Feelings
Robinie returned to the dining table, just picked up the spoon and looked at the milk oatmeal in front of her.
Hang!
She threw the spoon into the bowl impatiently.
"ah!"
She scratched her head with both hands and scattered her hair to vent, then she stopped and picked up her phone again.
This is indeed a book review about "84 Charing Cross Street", and it was posted by a book review V: ""84 Charing Cross Street" - an elegy for bookstores. Under the trend of the Internet and paperless reading , the bookstore is inevitably going to die. Many people appeal and try to save it after witnessing it, but what are we saving? This book gives us the answer, allowing us to travel through the time and space tunnel of nearly a hundred years... This book is written for the bookstore An elegy, or a song of condolence, to find one’s true heart and leave a civilized corner for the city. Let us hope that there will always be a bookstore light waiting to warm people’s hearts.”
Robiny read it again.
She roughly understood that this big V was a little older and had experienced the prosperity and decline of bookstores. She was inspired by the relationship between bookstore customers and clerks in this book, and recalled the time when she wandered around the bookstore to buy books and search for books. Book time.
In the era when "84 Charing Cross Street" was written, bookstores also had the business of collecting books for buyers, specifically collecting books for university professors and wealthy businessmen. The communication during purchase and search, the relationship between customers and clerks, and the relationship between customers and bookstores are naturally bound and closer. These are mentioned in many books and have even become a cultural symbol of bookstores.
Many book lovers, whether they have experienced it or have only heard of it, miss the time when they exchanged editions, rare copies, signed copies, and first editions in order to find books. Therefore, they particularly resonate with the emotions in the books.
For them, "84 Charing Cross" is a book of mourning and loss.
Robiny took a look at the comments below and found that there were many popular book reviews. People who were educated, knowledgeable or loved to read were nostalgic and longing for that time, or they took the opportunity to lament the current trend of fewer and fewer physical bookstores.
If what we read in China are stories, then these people abroad also have the mark of the times and cultural reminiscences.
Robinie didn’t go out all day.
She has been paying attention to the reviews of "84 Charing Cross Street" and watched it slowly ferment from a book review V to becoming known to more and more people and recommended by more and more people.
The best marketing in the world is emotion.
Robinie finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
Susan made an appointment with Li Qingning in advance.
When the front desk brought her in, Sister Chen was very surprised to see her, "Your sense of smell is too keen, isn't it?"
Susan was confused, but she kept an eye on it and said, "It's okay."
Sister Chen decided to make a call later to help Xu Guangzheng be more prompt.
She took "The Little Prince" back yesterday and read it. It can be said that anyone who can read can see that the book is good. This book is also different from "84 Charing Cross Street". This book is closed. There is nothing wrong with making a decision.
Susan came to see Li Qingning.
Sister Chen asked the receptionist to go back. She led Susan to Li Qingning's office and knocked on the door.
“Please come in!”
The two of them pushed the door open and went in.
Li Qingning was on the phone, "Eat well for lunch and tell your boss not to be so stingy. But don't drink. Well, okay, you can eat less sweets for me, that's not cool at all! If someone compliments you, you Just go to heaven? Okay, I understand, get off work early, it doesn’t matter what you say, we are also the boss, um, I bought some shares, okay, that’s it, I have customers, hang up.”
Sister Chen asked her: "Jiang Yang didn't come to the company?"
“They went out to shoot a commercial.”
Li Qingning invited Susan to sit down. “Last time I took a photo of her holding a candy in her mouth, and when others complimented her a few times, she was completely different. Now I like to hold a lollipop in my mouth to pretend to be cool.”
Sister Chen smiled and said, "Just like a child."
Li Qingning was quite angry.
My husband has turned from a writer into a organizer.
If this spreads back to China, I wonder if Li Qingning will think that Li Qingning is so brazen that he gave the compiled books to himself. Susan kept confessing in front of her. This was not Susan's fault, and Li Qingning couldn't say anything.
She asked Jiang Yang first.
Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then said that as long as it doesn't cause trouble, nothing else matters.
He was the one who organized it, and Jiang Yang was self-aware of this.
Jiang Yang didn't care, Li Qingning felt relieved.
She told Susan, "Since the other party is so arrogant, we will not cooperate with them in the future."
She also asked Susan to keep all the evidence and contracts, and their company’s legal department would follow up.
Susan nodded, this is natural.
Li Qingning still has a request that when they cooperate, Susan must show sincerity.
Susan had thought about a lot of criticism when she came here, but sincerity was the least of her thoughts. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she nodded in agreement, she would have to show her sincerity.
Sister Chen said: "I bet you came here because of this. I thought it was "The Little Prince"."
She had no intention of hiding it.
She still said the same thing, their old Xu earns salary, but she earns agent’s money with commission.
"little Prince?"
Susan's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Anonymous teacher's new book?"
"Um."
Sister Chen took the manuscript away, and Li Qingning sent her an electronic copy, and agreed to talk sincerely after she read it.
Susan glanced at it, stood up and left, promising to give Li Qingning an answer tomorrow.
After seeing Susan off, Li Qingning asked Sister Chen, "How is Lao Xu's place?"
Sister Chen said there was no news, and she felt that if Susan was sincere enough, she could ignore her family.
Li Qingning shook his head.
Eggs cannot be put in one basket. She didn't want any more mistakes to happen, so this book was compiled by Jiang Yang.
They then talked about the promotion of the single. Li Qingning spent three weeks making the arrangement of the song when he had lyrics and music, and then recorded it over and over again. The post-production was finally completed yesterday.
Li Qingning said: "It's just for fun. It's a hands-on work. I just need to do a little publicity."
After Jiang Yang hung up the phone, he looked back at Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao made him feel scared when he saw it: "What's wrong?"
“My wife said that I am now half the owner of the company.”
Zhou Hao was confused, then suddenly realized, he slapped his thigh and said: "Who am I talking about? It turns out to be your wife!"
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Your wife is really good. She spent a lot of money for you!"
