Chapter 254: The signatures they got were sent back
When Shi Wan first saw the extra chapter, she hadn't realized yet that the strange store name was the same as the one they thought of.
But when the novel described the store's interior design and menu in detail, and...why did the description of the owner in the book look so similar to her...
and many more.
Was she written into the novel by the author???
Shi Wan somersaulted up from the bed and hurriedly called Shi Weiyu.
The two sisters were excited all night, and Shi Weiyu put up the sign the next day, hung a banner at the door, and played excerpts from the novel on a loop.
Shi Weiyu also promoted the novel online, in various super topic forums, and novel exchange groups.
It didn’t take long for word to spread about the store prototype.
What is the best publicity.
This is!
The two recalled for several days but still couldn't guess which customer was the author.
From then on, they would pay more attention to people coming and going in the store, and then discuss privately who the author might be.
As the number of people increased, they became increasingly busy. Shi Wan even stopped caring about having a relationship. As expected, when people are busy, they only focus on work.
Grandma went to the store and then stayed to help.
Li Wenshu also picked up a courier. When he opened it, he found it was a physical copy of "Farming" with his signature on it.
The day before yesterday, I forwarded the official release date of the novel. There are only 150 signed copies, and it is obvious that the publishing house has kept 50 copies for itself.
She thought about it and added the words "business is booming" on the page.
When he arrived at the store, Li Wenshu widened his eyes slightly when he saw the long line of people sitting on chairs at the door.
No, there were so many people last time I came.
There were also many people taking photos and checking in.
There was no way to get into the door of Liwen Bookstore.
"Is Pai Gu Jing from City A? Her home must be nearby, otherwise she would have discovered this newly opened store."
"Who said that? Pai Gu Jing is from our City C. He came here just for tourism."
"You can still write tens of thousands of words a day when you're traveling."
"You are from C City, right? When did the rib-sprite say she was from C City? She is a real person from A City. Stop flattering the people of C City."
"Dude, you're blocking my camera, can you please move aside? Your bald head is stealing the spotlight."
"Are you polite?"
"Hey, do you think the Pork Ribs Spirit will eat here now, or line up at the door..."
"No way. With the amount of updates she makes, she probably spends her entire day typing away as soon as she opens her eyes."
Li Wenshu, the rib-eating man, couldn't even squeeze in, "Please make way."
The person in the front frowned and said, "Why are you letting me pass? Those who are coming later should queue up at the back. Don't think you can cut in line just because you are a little girl."
Li Wenshu: "...This store is owned by my family."
Li Wenshu successfully squeezed in. All the seats in the store were filled, and several new employees were hired.
Even my ex-aunt Zhang Hong came.
A guest was chatting with Shi Wan.
"Boss, you really don't know Pai Gu Jing. Why do I feel like she's here to promote your new store?"
Shi Wan smiled and said, "I want to meet him too, but I really don't have the chance to meet such an amazing person. Before I opened my shop, I never left the house and didn't know my neighbors very well."
The man said, "It seems that he was really impressed by what he ate. This sweet and sour pork ribs is indeed delicious. The pork ribs master's writing style is still quite good. The description is exactly the same."
"She's like the ancient Greek goddess of metaphor."
Li Wenshu stepped forward and called out "Mom," "I haven't been here for a few days. There are so many people here."
Shi Wan pinched her face and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to order some food in the store and eat at a separate table in the lounge?"
Li Wenshu refused.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Shi Wan was called away.
Li Wenshu walked to the reading corner, where the bookshelves were filled with physical copies of her novels and some fiction magazines.
Many people would come over to read a book, and some would sit on the sofas inside.
Li Wenshu put the book "Farming" in his hand onto the bookshelf in a lightning speed.
I walked around for a while before leaving.
Not long after she left, someone picked up a book at random, and the book that came out was "Farming".
The man looked at the physical book in his hand in confusion. "Isn't the physical book of "Planting" not on the market yet? Where did you buy this? Is it a pirated book?"
His friend came over to look and frowned, saying, "No way, why are there pirated books on the bookshelf? This is too disrespectful."
They took the book and went to the front desk angrily, "Why is there a pirated book on the shelf in your store?"
There were already quite a few people waiting in line with nothing to do, and when they saw what was happening, they all looked over.
"No way. She's famous because of Pai Gu Jing. It's not a good idea to buy her pirated books."
The clerk picked up the book and said doubtfully, "Is there a misunderstanding? We will not buy pirated books."
When Shi Weiyu saw what was happening, she hurried over and asked about the whole story.
She picked up the physical book and looked at it, frowning and saying, "We haven't bought this one."
There are only a few physical copies of Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs on the market, and they remember every cover clearly. This book has never passed through their hands, so how did it get on the bookshelf?
Could it be that someone saw that their business was booming and deliberately framed them to cause trouble?
The man insisted, "We found out and said we didn't buy it. It wasn't bought by you. How could it appear on the bookshelf out of thin air?"
"That's right, piracy is shameful, you know? It was originally promoted by Pai Gu Jing. How can I be worthy of her by buying pirated products?"
An eagle-eyed onlooker said: "Hey, this pirated book even stole the cover of the original one. It is exactly the same as the picture released on the publisher's official website."
Shi Weiyu's heart moved and she opened the book.
The first page was a golden signature with the four characters “生意兴荣” written in a very chic manner.
You can tell what's going on at a glance.
Shi Weiyu's originally frowned brows instantly relaxed.
She proudly spread out the pages of the book and showed them to everyone, "Oh, why is there writing on the first page of this pirated physical book? Doesn't this book mean it's not brand new? I'm so upset."
"You almost led me astray and I really thought it was a pirated copy. If I had believed you and thrown it into the trash can, I would have thrown away all my wealth."
"Oh my god, this can't be the legendary author's autograph, the one that only has 150 copies on the market and can only be purchased by extremely lucky people."
"No," Shi Weiyu paused, "An autograph only has a signature, but mine has an extra line of words. This can't be the only autographed version in the world."
Her words made the two people who reported her blush.
Oh my god, why didn’t you turn to the first page?
I should have put it in my pocket earlier!
Ahhh, they just had to send back the autographs they had gotten. They really don’t want to be good people!
