I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 123 Is it okay to write...probably

"...The writing is not bad...probably..."

How would you rate your own book?

Ji Zhuo was silent for a while, and gave a vague answer.

But the young man seemed to be more interested because he glanced at the cover of "The Caged Bird".

"...Dude, would you mind showing it to me?"

Ji Zhuo remained silent without saying a word, and handed the "Bird in a Cage" to the young man,
The young man took it, and stood on the side of the bookshelf and slowly looked through it.

And Ji Zhuo stood beside him, a little silent.

It's quite strange, inexplicably, when I came to see my book, I promoted my book.

Then should I leave now, or wait... The bookstore only offers one book for trial reading, and the others are all in plastic packaging.

Ji Zhuo was silent for a while, but decided to wait and see the feedback of this new reader who has no old reader filter after finishing this book.

So Ji Zhuo stood aside, took out the unsolved mysteries of the world next to him, and started to read.
Just look up from time to time to see the reader's reaction.

Then... I saw the reader's face getting more and more excited,
Then the speed of turning the pages is getting slower and slower, the whole person can't wait to get into the world in the book,

Seeing this reaction, Ji Zhuo knew the result,
Sighing silently, he put the unsolved mysteries of the world in his hand back on the bookshelf, and was about to slip away.
Who would have thought that this young man raised his head again at this time and spoke to Ji Zhuo.

"Brother, your vision is too high. It's okay that this book can be called... I just read the beginning, and I feel... awesome!"

The young man was a little excited and denied Ji Zhuo's previous evaluation of the book.

"Dude, let me tell you, this book is really good. I've been looking for a science fiction novel to read, and this novel is absolutely amazing!"

"...Look again, it's definitely better than you think!"

It looks better than I thought, so I want to know how it looks better than I thought...

Ji Zhuo listened to this newcomer who was born suddenly, and an avid reader recommended "The Bird in the Cage" to himself.

Feeling a little numb.

"...Well... I'll take a look when I find time..."

After a few perfunctory sentences, Ji Zhuo was ready to slip away.

Then this new reader enthusiastically gave him advice,
"Brother, don't you want to buy a copy? I think there are very few stocks here. I feel that the quality of this book will definitely be out of stock soon."

"..."

……

"Hi, the total is 38.8 yuan."

When he finally left the bookstore, Ji Zhuo still couldn't hold back the enthusiastic recommendation from his own reader,

Bought my own copy of "The Caged Bird".

Well, on the contrary, think about it, it’s not bad if you buy a copy yourself, and you lose one reader.

But when it came time to check out, there were still quite a few people queuing up ahead.

Ji Zhuo couldn't help but always look at the books that other customers were holding, always feeling that other customers also bought caged birds in their hands.

After paying the bill, Ji Zhuo left the bookstore.

And not long after,

In the bookstore, the young man Ji Zhuo met earlier,
I also took two copies of "The Bird in the Cage" to the cashier to check out.

"This book "The Bird in the Cage" is not bad?"

Although it is said on the Internet that there are many people who buy several copies of the same book at the same time,

But it is actually rare in bookstores in reality, especially because the purchase volume of this kind is not much, and it is obviously a book written by an author who is not very familiar with it.

So the clerk at the cashier in the bookstore couldn't help asking, she seemed to remember that someone had asked about this book before?

"It's not only good, but it's written in such a way that I haven't seen such an interesting sci-fi for a long time."

"I suggest that you put more of this book on the shelves and buy more. I feel that this book will be sold out soon."

When the clerk asked about his favorite books, the young man naturally praised them highly.

The clerk listened thoughtfully.

"We will consider it... But there is actually another good science fiction novel called "Seven Days of Hell". I have read it too, and it is quite well written. We also have it in our bookstore."

"...Then get me a copy, I'll buy it back and have a look."

"Row……"

After paying the bill to the young man,
The clerk thought about it, and took the time to change the remaining few copies of "The Bird in the Cage" to a better place.

Well... right next to Seven Days of Hell.

……

"...Old Tao, the novel I told you some time ago has finally been published and put on sale. Let me tell you, this novel is definitely better than the "Seven Days of Hell" published by your publishing house."

"...Good guy, old Qian, that's not what you said when you watched "Seven Days of Hell"."

"...That's not the same... This "Cage Bird" is absolutely perfect! The plot is really well written. After so long, my publishing house has finally published such a good science fiction book."

"...Do you have a good eye? When the author submitted the manuscript, I knew it was a good science fiction novel at the beginning. Now that I read this book, it's not true...better than I thought..."

"...Okay, okay, stop showing off here, and then show off that this publishing house all over the city knows that your old money publishing house has published a good science fiction, a good novel. Okay, show me it, I'd rather Let’s see how well it’s written.”

"Want to read it? If you want to see it, buy it yourself. There is a bookstore downstairs in your publishing house, and that bookstore has the goods."

"Good guy, old Qian, you..."

In Huating Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief Qian was on the phone with Editor-in-Chief Tao of Modu Publishing House.

The two used to be friends because they also liked reading books. Later, they both worked in the publishing of novels and books, so they have always been in touch.

After making a phone call to show off to Editor-in-chief Tao, Editor-in-Chief Qian hung up the phone happily,

Then I touched the collector's edition of "The Bird in the Cage" beside the table,

I wanted to read it again, but put it down again, and couldn't help but glance at the computer.

The computer displays some contacts of Penguin Chat, which are contacts of online and offline channels of booksellers and bookstores.
I don't know how the book sold.

I really like this book, editor Qian is inevitably a little anxious,

I called Editor-in-Chief Tao, not only to show off, but also to ease my mood.

……

On the other side, Modu Publishing House,
In the editor-in-chief's office, editor-in-chief Tao also received the physical book of "The Bird in the Cage".
Of course he didn't go downstairs to buy it, but...

"Editor-in-chief, here's your takeaway."

"takeout?"

"Well, I think it's a book, sent by Huating Publishing House."

Open the bag to see,
It contained "The Caged Bird".

"This is spiritual food."

Editor-in-Chief Tao couldn't help laughing and said,
"Just put it here."

Let people put the book on the table,
Editor-in-Chief Tao continued to get busy with work,
After waiting for a while, I was busy,

Looking at "The Bird in the Cage" on the table,
Editor-in-chief Tao is here again,

I want to see how the science fiction that was blown up by the old money is like,
So, Editor-in-Chief Tao took the book, opened it and read it.

"How can a bird in a cage know its greatest value..."

"Two questions."

"Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis."

"The greatest value of human civilization."

"...Ant, do you know what your greatest value is?"

"...It turns out that we are not ants scribbling along the road, we are some bugs that are wandering away..."

Then the more you look,

Editor-in-Chief Tao is more careful, and some are afraid that some details will be overlooked.

The whole person is immersed in such a world described in the book.

Depressed as the words in the book depress,
Excited by clearing the clouds and seeing the fog, shocked by the unexpected and reasonable plot design again and again,
I can't calm down for a long time.

"...It's really a good science fiction."
