In the CEO's office.
"Um…can you give me a day off tomorrow?”Mu Wanqing looked at Qin Tian and asked in a low voice.
"Uncomfortable?" Qin Tian suddenly raised his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, and his concern was overflowing with words.
"No, I haven't. I have some small matters to deal with." Mu Wanqing tried her best to maintain a natural smile.
"That's good. If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know.”Qin Tian raised his eyes and looked deeply at Mu Wanqing.
"Thank you." Mu Wanqing lowered her head slightly but understood.
Qin Tian understood Mu Wanqing's personality. Mu Wanqing looked weak on the outside, but she was tough and unyielding in her bones. She was like a flower basket woven from vines. Even if she was damaged, she could rely on her own flexibility to repair herself and make herself stronger.
Qin Tian knew that although he was familiar with Mu Wanqing, it was not to the point where Mu Wanqing would tell him everything. Since it was the other party's privacy, he did not ask too much. Moreover, tomorrow was the day he had been looking forward to for a long time.
When it was almost time to get off work, Shen Mengyun called. The moment Mu Wanqing picked up the call, Shen Mengyun questioned her aggressively.
"Mu Wanqing, you didn't tell me about the book signing at the Book Building tomorrow.”Shen Mengyun's tone was unyielding, and she seemed determined to not give up until she explained clearly.
"Ah?" Mu Wanqing unconsciously raised her voice.
In the afternoon, the magazine agency called again to urge her to reply to the book signing. Mu Wanqing wanted to find an excuse to decline, but she could not withstand the chief editors 'constant pestering and bombardment.
When Mu Wanqing heard that Chief Editor Wang was going to use his trump card to get her to give in, she finally rubbed her temples and surrendered, not knowing whether to laugh or cry."Tomorrow then."
A burst of maniacal laughter rang out from the other end of the phone. Hearing this, Mu Wanqing's hair stood on end.
"Miss Mu, we'll be waiting for you at the Book Building at 1 pm tomorrow.”Chief Editor Wang smiled slyly and said," Alright, that's it. I'll wait for you then. Bye!"”As if afraid that Mu Wanqing would go back on her words, Chief Editor Wang quickly hung up the phone.
In just one afternoon, the matter of signing and selling the book was already known by everyone. At this moment, Mu Wanqing felt like she had been tricked into a wolf's den.
She was afraid that Shen Mengyun's loud voice would be heard by the colleagues next to her, so she quickly left the office and ran to the corridor before saying,""I just promised the magazine agency this afternoon. I didn't have time to tell you. How did you know?”
Shen Mengyun clicked her tongue on the other end of the phone and teased,""Miss Mu, you really don't care about the current affairs of society. This afternoon, all the major media outlets were broadcasting the news of the talented woman, Mo Piao, signing books for sale at the Book Building tomorrow. Don't tell me you don't know?"
Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth and could not help but admire the media's pervasiveness. Fortunately, he wasn't a celebrity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any privacy to speak of. Just thinking about it made him feel terrified. In addition, the Tang Society was not a charity organization after all. There was no reason for them to not earn money. The louder the advertisement for the book signing was, the more the Chinese government would benefit. Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing felt relieved.
……
At the library building.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the bookstore, he saw a large promotional poster for the book sale. Entering the library hall, he could still see the posters of books being signed for sale. There was even a table with a lonely table sign on it that was about six square meters away. All the media reporters swarmed over when they heard the news. They were ready to follow the scene and report. After all, ever since Solitary Piao published her book, she had never revealed her true identity to the outside world. Every time her new book was released, it would almost always be at the top of the best-selling list. Therefore, the more mysterious she was, the more the media and readers were interested in whether she was beautiful or ugly, old or young. He believed that if he managed to capture the true face of Drifting Lonely at the book signing event today, it would definitely make the headlines.
By the time Mu Wanqing arrived at the bookshop early in the morning, it was already bustling with noise. Today, Mu Wanqing was wearing a simple light blue dress, revealing her elegant neck and clearly visible collarbone. The pleats of the dress flowed like the moonlight. Her long black hair was casually tied up, and strands of hair hung by her ears. Her elegant face smiled faintly, like a shy lotus that could not withstand the cold wind. As soon as she appeared, all the readers and reporters present took a deep breath. All of them were immersed in her otherworldly temperament.
As soon as the signing began, the readers surrounded the book sale site. The scene was very lively. The hall was already packed to the brim, and the queue for the signing went from the first floor to the fifth floor. The media gathered, and the reporters sent by various families were also scrambling to take photos and videos.
When answering questions from readers and reporters, Mu Wanqing also displayed the demeanor of a famous Central TV reporter.
"May I ask why you have been refusing to disclose your personal information to the outside world?”
Mu Wanqing smiled and said frankly,""Actually, I've always regarded writing and publishing books as an indispensable pleasure in my life. I put my heart and soul into every novel I write. I like to enjoy this simple and bleak business, and I like to share my stories and feelings with the readers. I just want to live a simple life and don't like to be affected by too much attention from the outside world. Here, I hope to gain everyone's understanding.”
"May I ask if your love in real life is as beautiful and romantic as described in your works?”
When Mu Wanqing heard this, her lips curled into a smile,""Actually, every one of us is a genius in love. Perhaps sometimes, a smile could defeat a lifetime, and a tear could repay a person. Whether my love is romantic or not is not important. He believed that only a person who truly understood love and loved life would feel that their love was far more exciting than the ups and downs of the 8 o'clock primetime plot.
After Mu Wanqing finished her words, thunderous applause erupted.
A reporter raised his microphone in front of Mu Wanqing and asked,""Then do you feel happy?"
"Actually, I'm still on the road to happiness. I don't know if I'm happy or not, but at least I've started to ask myself now, not asking others from above like before. Happiness was like the shoes on one's feet. Only one would know if it was comfortable or not.”
……
Two hours later, Mu Wanqing wiped the sweat off her forehead. The line waiting for the signature was still far away. Mu Wanqing only felt tired but also sweet from such close contact with the readers. At this moment, her heart was filled with gratification and satisfaction that could not be expressed in words.
As Mu Wanqing was writing, her elegant handwriting was already on the paper.
"Thank you for your support. Your book." Mu Wanqing sent out the signed new book with both hands. A strand of hair fell from her forehead and blocked her vision.
She gently tucked her hair behind her ear. When she saw the handsome Qin Tian in front of her, Mu Wanqing was shocked. Her eyes were filled with joy and shyness.
Qin Tian's gaze moved to the two words "Drifting Solitary" written elegantly on the book cover, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.""The book is good, and the calligraphy is good too."
Mu Wanqing blushed when she heard this, her delicate and beautiful body was like a pink peach petal.
"Isn't that President Si, Qin Tian?”Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
"It seems so."
"Why is he here?"
"Could he be a fan of Solitary Piao?”
"They look like old friends.”
……
The crowd was in an uproar as they started to guess the relationship between Qin Tian and Mu Wanqing.
"I'm sorry. Please make way."
"Please make way."
The gossipy reporters were already pressing towards Qin Tian and Mu Wanqing with their cameras. He had thought that the news of Solitary Piao's book signing would definitely attract attention. Who would have thought that CEO Si would appear out of nowhere? The famous CEO Qin Tian had a close relationship with the mysterious and talented girl, Piao Solitary. If they made a fuss about their relationship, it would be difficult for the sales of the newspapers and magazines to not break through tomorrow!
"Hello, President Qin. May I ask if you and the talented woman are old acquaintances?”
"Can you tell me how you two met?”
"What's your relationship?"
……
In the blink of an eye, there were already seven or eight microphones dangling in front of Qin Tian and Mu Wanqing. The reporters were all drooling as they began to plot in their hearts. When they thought about how they would be able to get their monthly bonuses by publishing this piece of gossip, the reporters immediately had a crafty look on their faces.
Seeing this, Mu Wanqing frowned and stood up, intending to avoid the reporters '" torturous confession ". She didn't want to get involved in this groundless gossip for no reason. Unexpectedly, the reporters surrounded her professionally. In the crowd, someone pushed her, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight forward.
Mu Wanqing closed her eyes tightly and prepared herself for the intimate contact with the ground. However, at this moment, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her slender waist and gently pulled her back. Her body fell straight back and pressed against a man's warm and thick chest.
"Kacha."
"Kacha."
……
The reporters kept adjusting the angle of the camera, and the sound of the shutter was heard one after another. They were not interested in such a heartwarming scene, but this scene was enough for them to complete a gossip that would attract countless eyeballs.
The man's warm and familiar breath immediately enveloped Mu Wanqing, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Alright, it's fine now." The man's clear and deep voice sounded beside Mu Wanqing's ear, tingling slightly.
Mu Wanqing opened her starry eyes and met Qin Tian's burning gaze.
" Thank you…" The clicking sound of the shutter and the blinding flash made Mu Wanqing alert. She quickly steadied herself and pushed Qin Tian away. She sorted out her uneasy mood and raised her head to reveal an unnatural smile.
……
What Mu Wanqing did not expect was that after the signing of the book, she would be bothered by it, giving her a splitting headache.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
