Chapter 46 Signing scene
"Third brother! Are you leaving tonight?"

That evening, Song Chao, who was packing his luggage in the dormitory and preparing to go to the station, asked Cao Sheng.

Cao Sheng smiled and said, "No! I'm not leaving tonight."

Song Chao said, "So you're going home tomorrow?"

Cao Sheng nodded.

He also wanted to go home tomorrow. This semester was finally over, and he hadn't been home for half a year. He missed home for a long time.

But the email sent by Wang Jing forced him to change his plans.

He didn't have time to go home for the time being.

Because the day after tomorrow is the day he is supposed to arrive in Shanghai.

Time is so tight, if he goes home first, he will probably have to stay on the train most of the next two days.

Even if you choose to take a plane, the time will be very tight, and you can only stay overnight when you get home.

So, he decided to wait until he was done before going back.

That night, five roommates left their dormitory.

The next morning, two more left.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Cao Sheng was the only one left in the dormitory.

Cao Sheng thought of Tan Lei.

This old classmate took the same train to school with him at the beginning of the year. When he came, he repeatedly told him that he wanted to go back with him during the end-of-term holiday.

Later, when we met on the playground during our morning run, she also mentioned this.

But from last night till now, he hadn't seen her come to see him.

Cao Sheng sat in the dormitory for a while and then went out.

He planned to buy himself two sets of clothes and shoes. Normally, he could just wear some old clothes at school, but he was going to Shanghai tomorrow to face the media and book fans, so he felt he should dress up a little as a sign of respect for the media and book fans.

When he walked out of the school gate, he was still thinking: Maybe Tan Lei is waiting for me to find her, maybe since I told her that I already have a girlfriend, she doesn’t want to go back with me.

Just like in the original time and space, ever since he got a girlfriend, Tan Lei no longer mentioned going back together during the holidays.

Cao Sheng hailed a taxi at the school gate, went to the clothing store, and bought two sets of complete clothes.

A set of jeans, this is the casual wear he prepared.

A black suit and black shirt.

I also bought a pair of sneakers and a pair of black leather shoes.

He doesn't have much experience in clothing matching, but he has a good foundation and looks good in anything.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the clothing store, he changed into jeans and sneakers, looking handsome, like a sunny and handsome college student.

After changing into a black shirt, black suit and black leather shoes, he still looked handsome in the mirror, but with a touch of coolness.

……

The next day, April 7.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Cao Sheng, wearing a jeans suitcase and sneakers, came out of the airport dragging a suitcase.

Yes, he came by plane this time.

Anyway, the air tickets will be reimbursed by the publisher.

From a distance, he saw a tall woman in the crowd waiting to welcome guests, holding a sign that read: Cao Sheng.

Cao Sheng walked straight over.

That afternoon.

In the coffee area of ​​a five-star hotel, Cao Sheng was interviewed by Wenhui Daily.

The reporter who interviewed him was a round-faced woman in her early 30s.

The nameplate on her chest read: Xu Yun.

This is the first interview arranged by Huacheng Publishing House.

The interview has just begun.

Xu Yun: "Cao Sheng! Nice to meet you. Do you know that I have read your works and I am a big fan of yours?"

Cao Sheng smiled, "It's my honor."

Xu Yun: "You're welcome. As a fan of your book, the first question I want to ask is: Is "Living with a Flight Attendant" your real experience? Does the heroine Ran Jing have a prototype in real life?"

Cao Sheng shook his head slightly, "No! No flight attendant came to share the apartment with me."

Xu Yun was amused.

Then he followed Cao Sheng's words and asked, "If a flight attendant like Ran Jing came to share a room with you, would you agree?" Cao Sheng: "Why not?"

Xu Yun: "So, you are renting a house and living alone now? But as far as I know, you are still a freshman, right? You don't live in a dormitory?"

Cao Sheng shook his head, "No! I live in the dormitory."

Xu Yun was surprised. "Then you just said that no stewardess came to share the rent with you? You live in the dormitory, do you want the stewardess to live in your dormitory?"

Cao Sheng chuckled, "So, this book is not about my real experience."

When he first started the interview, he was indeed a little nervous.

But after chatting for a few sentences, he gradually relaxed.

This has to do with Xu Yun's interview style, which is like chatting with friends, and also with his N love experiences before his rebirth.

If you have rich experience in love, it will be difficult for you to be nervous in front of women.

……

That night, Cao Sheng was assigned to Shanghai Radio Station.

Being interviewed on a radio show.

He was interviewed by two radio hosts, one male and one female.

He also had an interview assignment the next day.

Day 7, July 12.
"Living with the Air Hostess" is officially released.

Cao Sheng got up early in the morning. He had insomnia last night. He wanted to fall asleep early, but his brain was wandering uncontrollably.

For a moment I thought, if there are few book fans coming to buy books at the book signing event tomorrow, how ugly would that scene be?
Then he thought about the book signing event tomorrow, which would be extremely popular, with hundreds of book fans waving his works and rushing to his picture.

Various possibilities flashed through his mind involuntarily.

It made it difficult for him to sleep.

I woke up early this morning.

He simply got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. In order to avoid going to the book signing event with dark circles under his eyes, he washed his face with hot water.

But even so, after washing, he saw that his complexion in the mirror was still a little bad.

Still have some dark circles.

……

It's around 10am.

Accompanied by staff from the publishing house, Cao Sheng took a car to a Xinhua Bookstore in JA District.

Before he got off the car, he saw a long line in front of the bookstore, which stretched for hundreds of meters on the sidewalk, attracting the attention of passers-by. There were even two traffic policemen maintaining order.

Cao Sheng took a look and turned to ask Zhao Ping beside him, "Sister Zhao! Are these people all book fans who came here spontaneously? Have you arranged for people to line up?"

Zhao Ping was the staff member arranged by the publishing house to receive him.

Hearing this, Zhao Ping smiled and said softly, "Today is the first stop of the book signing event. As usual, we will arrange for more people to come. However, I am not very clear about the specific situation today."

Cao Sheng was silent.

I wonder if all these book lovers queuing up were arranged by the publishing house?

Because of this doubt, he was very calm when he got off the bus. Even though the people in the queue looked at him when they saw him, he was not nervous.

There is always a voice echoing in my heart: "It's all a lie!"

As a result, when he saw reporters from several media outlets around him taking pictures and videos of him, he was not nervous.

Because of the disappointment in his heart, he could no longer be nervous.

He followed Zhao Ping into the bookstore. Faced with the enthusiastic store manager who came towards him, he just cooperated with the acting. He was thinking in his heart that the store manager had good acting skills and deserved to be the store manager.

When he started signing for the "book fans", he was still very calm and just tried to keep smiling. He signed with great enthusiasm and just wanted to sign faster and faster so that the signing event could end sooner, and this torment could end sooner.

He was like a ruthless killer, and there was no emotion in his heart when he signed.

And while he was busy signing books for "book fans".

Zhao Ping, who had been accompanying him the whole time, and the store manager came to an empty bookshelf. Looking at the busy scene over there, Zhao Ping thought of the question Cao Sheng had asked when he got off the car just now, and couldn't help but whispered to the store manager beside him, "Hey, Brother Wang, how many people here are arranged by us today? 50?"

The store manager looked at Cao Sheng with a smile on his face. Hearing this, he answered casually, "We originally arranged for dozens of people, but this morning, more and more people came to line up. I thought the situation was not right, so I didn't let our people come."

"what?"

Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Cao Sheng, who was trying hard to keep smiling and signing quickly. She looked at him blankly, and she felt that Cao Sheng's smile was not happy.

It's even a bit heartbreaking.
