This director is so innocent.

night.

As the host, Su Jin treated Editor-in-Chief Zhou and his team to a meal.

It's a very high-end product, costing tens of thousands of yuan.

Afterwards, the man served them fine tea, and the woman presented him with a shopping card.

This is also why people from Southern Weekly were eager to interview Su Jin.

As for Editor-in-Chief Zhou, he was naturally served personally by the great writer Su Jin.

Although they hadn't exchanged artistic ideas for more than half a year, the young woman was still a young woman, and her fighting power was extremely strong.

They almost, almost managed to utterly defeat Su Jin.

Yes, Editor-in-Chief Zhou is divorced.

Firstly, she was so focused on her career that she neglected her family and didn't want to have children early, so her husband divorced her.

Secondly, having enjoyed the behemoth, how could one possibly appreciate a small drill?

……

The crisp autumn air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.

The annual National Day holiday has arrived once again.

Unlike in the original timeline, holidays nowadays don't have various make-up days. The actual holidays are less than three days, and you even have to work on New Year's Eve.

At 9:30 a.m., Su Jin, Shen Haobo, and Chen Zhixi arrived at the underground parking lot of Wangfujing Bookstore.

As soon as she got off the bus, Su Jin saw a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, a slightly overweight build, and a receding hairline, who was smiling and extending his hand towards her.

This man, named Yuan Kang, is the manager of Wangfujing Bookstore.

"Teacher Su, I've heard so much about you!" Yuan Kang said, shaking Su Jin's hand warmly.

This is the God of Wealth! How could we not be enthusiastic?!

It's worth noting that every book by Su Jin has sold over a million copies, with "Cry Me a Sad River" being particularly phenomenal, selling over a million copies in just one week and now exceeding five million copies.

He invited Su Jin four or five times before he finally succeeded.

That's why he came to greet me personally this time.

Of course, Su Jin was able to come because Yuan Kang was very sincere.

"Manager Yuan, you flatter me," Su Jin replied modestly.

Yuan Kang laughed heartily: "Teacher Su, let's go to my office and have a proper chat!"

"Okay." Su Jin nodded.

"This way, Ms. Su." Yuan Kang led Su Jin, Shen Haobo, and Chen Zhixi upstairs.

A minute or two later, they arrived at Yuan Kang's office.

Su Jin glanced around casually and found that the office was decorated in a very luxurious and extravagant manner, with each exquisite ornament looking quite valuable.

"Teacher Su, please try my treasured Longjing tea." Yuan Kang carefully took out a package of exceptionally fine tea leaves, took out a small amount, and gently placed it into the boiling tea water.

Yuan Kang skillfully performed a series of steps, including scalding the teapot, placing the tea leaves, appreciating the tea, warming the cups, adding the tea leaves, and pouring the tea.

The entire set of movements was as natural and fluid as flowing water, making it a pleasure to watch.

Su Jin quietly admired the scene, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seemed that Yuan Kang was also a person who understood the art of tea.

In fact, Su Jin herself has a strong interest in tea tasting and has even purchased and collected some high-quality tea leaves.

"Teacher Su, please have a taste." Yuan Kang used tweezers to steadily pick up a steaming cup of fragrant tea and placed it in front of Su Jin.

Then he poured two more cups for Shen Haobo and Chen Zhixi.

Su Jin smiled slightly, extended her index finger and thumb, elegantly held the cup, and slowly moved it to her nose, gently inhaling the faint aroma of tea.

He closed his eyes, immersing himself in the wonderful aroma, as if he were in a tranquil tea garden.

Then, Su Jin took a small sip of tea.

The tea swirls in your mouth, bringing a rich and mellow flavor.

"Excellent tea," Su Jin exclaimed.

This is truly excellent tea, with a rich flavor and a long-lasting aroma that leaves a lasting impression.

Seeing this, Yuan Kang smiled with satisfaction. It was worth the money he spent to find out that Su Jin liked to drink tea.

"If Teacher Su likes it, you can take it back and try it." Yuan Kang pushed the small packet of tea in front of Su Jin.

"Manager Yuan is also a connoisseur of tea; a gentleman should not take away what others cherish." Su Jin pushed the tea leaves back.

"Teacher Su is too kind. I'm just a rough man, how could I be a tea connoisseur? It's more appropriate for you to taste such exquisite tea."

Su Jin couldn't help but smile. This Yuan Kang really knows how to pretend!

Although the tea was delicious, one is bound to be indebted to someone who has taken a bribe; who knows what other plans he might have up his sleeve?

Then the two of them started pushing and shoving each other.

Shen Haobo watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

In the end, Motoyasu was defeated and put away the tea leaves.

The book signing event started at 10:00 AM, and by then, the plaza on the first floor was already surrounded by layers of people.

The interior was completely packed with people.

There were also many support items, including homemade light boards, ribbons, banners, etc.

Ten minutes before the book signing event was scheduled to begin, the host went on stage to warm up the audience.

Good morning, dear readers.

The host first introduced himself, and then continued, "I am also honored to be the host of Ms. Su Jin's new book signing event. I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep."

"...I don't need to introduce Professor Su Jin's works and achievements much, everyone is more familiar with them than I am."

But thinking that there might be new friends here today who aren't familiar with Teacher Su Jin, I felt it was necessary to introduce her to everyone.

The host subtly gestured to the right side of the stage, and then a PPT presentation of Su Jin's personal information appeared on the large LED screen behind him.

After the host introduced Su Jin's personal profile and works, the next page was Su Jin's achievements page.

"It has been ranked number one in the social sciences category of Huaxia Bookstore for three consecutive years."

"His six works have sold a total of 30 million copies."

……

Every time the host mentioned an achievement, the young fans cheered, feeling incredibly proud and honored of their idol.

After introducing Su Jin's personal information, the host said, "People often say that it's not bad to live a comfortable life in your comfort zone. You can choose to lie down and relax, so why make yourself so tired!"

"However, Su Jin did not do that. He bravely stepped out of his comfort zone and brought us his transformative work, The Longest Day in Chang'an."

"This book tells the story of how, on the eve of the Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was plunged into crisis. Zhang Xiaojing, a death row inmate in Chang'an, was given a critical mission and, together with Li Bi, saved Chang'an within twelve hours..."

"I hope everyone can spend an unforgettable and wonderful time with Professor Su Jin at today's book signing event."

"Finally, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Ms. Su Jin to the stage."

clap clap clap...

As soon as the host finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the audience, accompanied by cheers and shouts.

Su Jin smiled and waved to everyone as she steadily walked onto the stage.

Hello everyone, good morning!

"I am Su Jin, and I am very happy to meet you all here today."

The young fans stared intently at Su Jin, who was handsome and elegant on the stage, their eyes filled with admiration and affection.

"Su Jin, I love you. Will you marry me?"

"My god, I want to have your babies."

"Su Jin, stop writing books, I'll support you!"

The fans were incredibly excited, shouting and yelling, and some even cried.

I know they're having a book signing event.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a celebrity meet-and-greet.
