"Youth" was officially published last week and was released in major Xinhua bookstores and some private bookstores across the country. Even Lu Weihai's bookstores have also been purchased in a batch. He wanted to buy a few books to give to his friends.

The layout of Lu Weihai's bookstore has changed significantly from the two months since its opening. When he entered the bookstore, he came to the bookshelf with the words "Bestselling Book Recommendation". His own book "Youth" was a long time ago, and Wang Shuo's book "Half is Flame, Half is Sea Water".

But more of them are the books by pioneer writers "You have no choice", "No theme variation", "You can't change me", and "Transparent carrots". A group of young people were standing in front of the counter and flipping through, Lu Weihai and Xu Meizhen were busy.

Seeing Xia Hongjun coming in, Lu Weihai hurried out from the counter.

"How is it sold?" Xia Hongjun asked in a low voice with a smile.

Lu Weihai naturally understood what he meant, smiled bitterly, and shook his head: "The sales are not very good."

Last week, he wholesales thirty books of "Youth" and only sold three of them! And two of them were female students. I heard that he bought them for Xia Hongjun's name rather than this book!

Yes, now college students like to read pioneer novels or Wang Shuo's book "Generally Flames and Sea Water". Who would read such novels?

As the intensity of the war decreased, people's attention began to gradually decline.

Xia Hongjun smiled and said nothing. He was about to ask Lu Weihai to pick up three books for him. Suddenly, a thin young man came over and said to Lu Weihai: "I said Boss Lu, why did you place such a book on the best-selling bookshelf?"

I followed his finger and looked at it, it was the book "Youth"!

"This book was written by the young writer and poet Xia Hongjun. The content is very good and worth reading." Lu Weihai hurriedly explained.

"Xia Hongjun is Lao Xia next door, right?" The young man continued: "I wrote the article "The Characteristics of Magical Realism Literature and Art" in "People's Literature" some time ago, clamoring that it will not last ten years. The so-called avant-garde literature eventually declined, and literature returned to realism again.

Finally, he imitated one of the sentences in the article "Xu Jingye's Edict to Counterfeit Wu Zhao" written by Luo Binwang in the early Tang Dynasty: "Please look at who is the world in the literary world in Japan!"

"I thought it was so awesome, but I didn't expect that what I wrote was actually this broken thing!" The young man refused to give in.

"Comrade, you're too much. If you don't like reading, you can choose other books or go out!" Xu Meizhen interrupted, and her words were full of spicy taste.

"Am I wrong?" The young man blushed: "I admire him for writing poetry. I also like the prose series "Fragments of Civilization", but it's just a novel..... What's popular now? Avant-garde literature, he actually wrote that kind of old novel. He wasted his talent in vain."

The young man looked as if he was sad about his misfortune and angry at his inability to fight.

Some people nodded and agreed, but some expressed their opposition, and everyone stood in the bookstore and began to argue.

Xia Hongjun did not speak out and stood there.

This kind of debate about literature is so common in this era that everyone is familiar with it.

These days, the roadside book stalls in a remote town may be "The Philosophy of Happiness".

Xia Hongjun heard that a senior from the Chinese Department actually kicked open the door of the teacher's dormitory late at night, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep because he read a book. As for the fact that he was so red in his face and thick-necked in his class that he was fighting with the teacher for a certain point of view in class.

However, as an author, I always feel strange when I hear a group of people arguing about their works.

"Xia Hongjun..... are you here. Haven't you been to Yanda?" A girl walked in and saw Xia Hongjun, asking in surprise.

It's Chen Zhaodi.

The girl's words surprised everyone, and the bookstore suddenly became quiet.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhaodi was a little puzzled. She heard the bustling inside outside, but suddenly no one spoke?

"Nothing..." Xia Hongjun replied with a smile, then greeted Lu Weihai and Xu Meizhen and said that he was going back to school.

"Xia Hongjun, I just now..." The thin young man seemed a little embarrassed. After all, it was a bit too much to say those words in front of the author.

"It's nothing. People often say that there are a thousand Hamlets in their hearts. It's normal not to like to watch them. I'm not RMB, so how can everyone like it?"

Xia Hongjun's last words made everyone laugh.

"But, Xia Hongjun, I really, really think that the book "Youth" you wrote was a failure." The young man suddenly became excited: "According to your talent, you can write novels such as "Transparent Carrots" and "You have no choice."

"But I don't like it!" Xia Hongjun said straightforwardly, turned around and left the bookstore, and Chen Zhaodi followed closely.

"Xia Hongjun, what should I do? What should I do if no one reads the "Youth" you wrote?" The girl sat behind Xia Hongjun's bicycle, a little worried.

Xia Hongjun stopped the car, stood on the ground, and turned his head to look at Chen Zhaodi.

"Do you like to watch it?"

"I like it! When I copy it, I often cried with emotion." Chen Zhaodi answered without hesitation.

"Then I'll write it for you." After that, Xia Hongjun continued to pedal forward.

"It's also written for Meili? She must like to read it very much." Chen Zhaodi said silently in her heart.

Xia Hongjun entered the school gate and turned a corner and was about to send Chen Zhaodi back to the girls' dormitory when he saw a big black red flag rushing towards him.

With a sudden "sudden" the car stopped in front of him, and then Guo Qianjin jumped down.

"Haha, Red Army, we sent it, we sent it!" Guo Qianjin looked excited.

"What's wrong?" Xia Hongjun quickly stopped the bicycle.

"The first part of "The Legend of Qin" was sold out. How many copies did we print?"

"Didn't you say you should print 200,000 copies?" Xia Hongjun felt strange.

"No, Brother Hui added another 100,000 copies, and it will be sold out in half a month! Now major bookstores are calling us to print it!"

Damn it!

So crazy?!

Xia Hongjun suddenly thought of the experience of "Youth" just now, which is a world of difference.

"Brother Hui has contacted the printing factory and is working overtime, preparing to print another 300,000 copies. Readers have also sent letters to request the publication of the second part!"

"Xia Hongjun, please write it quickly. Please mention any conditions you need... You are my biological brother and my ancestor now! Don't say you are busy or not, you don't have time." At the end of his speech, Guo Qianjin actually begged.

Xia Hongjun had no choice but to say, Brother Guo, don’t worry, I will have to complete the task even if I fight this life. The second part of the 100,000 words will be delivered to your company at the end of this month.

Guo Qianjin left after he repeatedly told him to leave. Before leaving, he said that the first batch of printed royalties were settled with booksellers from various places and immediately transferred to your account after the settlement was made by him.

"The Red Army, Lu Weihai and the others have basically completed the construction?" Chen Zhaodi asked in confusion.
Chapter completed!
