nAfter she spoke out, the entire room gasped.
nBecause Ci Feng only published a limited number of books every single time, there was always far more demand than supply.
nNormal people cannot even get themselves a copy of the unsigned ones.
nOnly the rich like Luo Chen, who has both a wealthy background, dare to want a signed copy. Even then, it wasn’t a guarantee that he would be able to get one.
nYet Qiao Nian was saying she could get her hands on 2 to 3 copies!
nNow that Qiao Nian herself has declared this, everyone turned crazier.
n“I want one!”
n“I want to pre-order one!”
n“I will pay 10 times the original price for one!”
n“Get out of here! I will pay 100 times the original price!”
n…
nQiao Nian, who was being coddled left and right, looked as calm as ever. It was because she was so calm, she stood out amongst the others.
nHer gaze unintentionally landed on Luo Chen and Jiang Yi – the two most popular boys with the wealthiest background.
nIt seemed like she was waiting for these two to start a bidding war.
nLou Chen gave Qiao Nian a look, then looked back at Qiao Qing. He rubbed his nose and gently coughed.
nThen, he said, “Qingqing, don’t worry, I will always be your knight in shining armor! I will never cave to a person with a bad heart! There is always the possibility of me getting my hand on a copy myself, right?”
nQiao Qing looked up and gave him a look. Though he was speaking those words, his face seemed to have the words “I want it, I want it” all over it.
nShe lowered her head and took out her cellphone. After she pinpointed Sun Jing’s WeChat, she sent, “you there?”
nSun Jing and her assistants were waiting at the airport so she immediately responded, “My princess, what can I do for you (✪▽✪)?”
nQiao Qing, “Do you know Qian Nian?”
nSun Jing, “No. But her name sounds similar to yours. Is she your relative?”
nQiao Qing, “My younger cousin.”
nSun Jing was getting ready to board so Qiao Qing messaged again, “You know her aunt?”
nSun Jing, “Who’s her aunt?”
nQiao Qing, “I forgot.”
nSun Jing, “…”
nSun Jing, “What are you implying, princess?”
nQiao Qing hit the green button on her smartwatch, and everything Qiao Nian had said just now was sent to Sun Jing in a voice message form.
nThen, Qiao Qing typed, “I don’t want this person to read my book. Understand?”
nSun Jing, “So that is the legendary type of people who are nice on the outside but bitchy on the inside. She dared to make you, the princess angry? I will teach her a lesson!”
n“Who cares who her aunt is? Whoever tries to get your book through the backdoor for their nieces, or even their own daughter, I will ignore!”
n“Signed copy? I will not give out even the unsigned copy! Princess, what do you think? (✪▽✪)”
nQiao Qing’s lips curled up and sent a “nod” emoji.
nSun Jing quickly sent back an emoji that looked like her seeking praise.
nQiao Qing silently shoved her cell back into the drawer.
nFor the entire first afternoon class, no student was in the mood to listen to the teacher.
nFirst, they were all making sure their cell phones were charged.
nSecond, they were all making sure they had data to access the internet.
nThird, they were all making sure that they could go onto the book’s website.
nAfter this was all done, they waited for the arrival of 13:30.
nOf course, Qiao Qing was an exception.
nIt was strange, however, that even the teacher, Yang Lianfeng, was not giving a hard time to the students who weren’t listening.
nWhen 13:20 hit, even Yang Lianfeng threw down his book.
n“We are going to get off class early. Don’t tell anyone and don’t get out of this classroom and disturb other classes. Do you understand? If you make enough noise to alert the principal, then you won’t get this benefit ever again in the future!”
nSomeone even dared to ask, “Bro Yang, are you planning on getting a copy of Feng Ci’s book?”
nThat person even had an expression that said, “You don’t need to try and lie your way out of this, we wouldn’t believe your excuses”.
nOther students all joined in on this, “Wow~ you are using the excuse of letting us off earlier for your own benefit!”
n
