The two of them chatted while eating hot pot, and asked the waiter to add water to the hot pot twice before checking out and leaving.

Zhang Chu drove Gu Xinxue to the new hall of the International Expo Center, which was also the venue for the 23rd Yanjing International Book Expo.

However, the book fair opened this morning, and Zhang Chu missed the most lively and crowded time.

“It’s time to come now, at least the parking space is easy to find.”

Since we have already arrived at the book fair, if we go back without looking at it, it is obviously a bit regretful.

So Gu Xinxue took Zhang Chu to visit the book fair, but he brushed his work permit in, but Zhang Chu actually had to buy a ticket.

"This book fair has to collect tickets, I'm afraid it's not because of dementia?" Zhang Chu complained casually, this is completely to keep consumers away!

Others have to spend a lot of money when they come in to spend money. Although the tickets of ten yuan are not expensive, they are very disgusting.

Who has ever seen tickets collected at an exhibition? This is not an osplay conference.

There were not many people who came to attend the book fair specifically, and they even used tickets to stop some people, which was simply crazy!

Gu Xinxue smiled bitterly, "Who knows the organizer's regulations?"

"Forget it, I can't afford to mess with it, so I'd better pay for the ticket!" Zhang Chu scanned the QR code on WeChat and walked directly to Gu Xinxue. At the same time, he looked around, wanting to see what the content was.

"A story that never ends?"

Standing in front of an advertising exhibition stand, Zhang Chu saw the words of the Literary Salon, and there were also a series of writers' names and time written in Chinese and English next to them.

"This is a writer's exchange area. Every day, well-known writers carry out literary salon activities in this area. Do you want to participate?" Gu Xinxue joked, "I personally support you to win the audience and steal their limelight."

Zhang Chu shook his head, "Don't go to such offending things, so as to save time from becoming a public enemy in the entire literary world. Why didn't anyone invite me to participate in such an event?"

This question made him a little curious. He said that he was a bestselling writer, but it was strange that he had never received such an invitation.

While walking forward, Gu Xinxue explained: "The literary circle is just a circle. If you don't get involved in this circle, who can invite you if you have nothing to do? Tell me yourself, who do you know in the literary circle and what activities have you participated in?"

Zhang Churen was searching through his brain and didn't recall what he had to do with the literary circle.

Probably the only connection is that when the book "Young Pi" was selected for good Chinese literature, he seemed to have not attended any meetings as a member of the National Writers Association!

Writers actually need to praise each other. If you don’t praise others, others will not pay attention to you.

Thinking of this, he instantly balanced, "Literature is pinched, so I'll still not go to the muddy water."

If you build circles, form schools, form gangs, fight for each other, look down on each other, and you will not be a literati if you don’t fight!

This is an era of division and an era of integration.

This is an era of destruction and another era of construction.

This is an era when literature seems to influence society, and it is another era when literature is worthless.

There are more people in the literary circle who form gangs, fewer fight alone; more shameless people praise them, fewer criticize them; more arrogant people, fewer cautious and humble people.

There are more and more works published, and fewer and fewer good works. Everyone is concerned about national affairs, and no one is focusing on literature.

When Zhang Chu thought of making false business noises with those people, he felt tired. He should write silently by himself. Anyway, he would be more comfortable not to participate in these activities!

The two of them decorate the children's book education museum in cartoon style. The children's book carnival contains various handicraft activities and interesting children's science lectures. Many parents and children spend time together.

In front of a graffiti wall, many children holding crayons are filling the painted patterns with various colors, which look colorful and rich in colors.

The exhibition hall next to Nanhai Publishing Company is quite eye-catching. A huge white dinosaur plaster statue is five or six meters high, and many consumers are rushing to take photos with it.

In this science bookstore, there are not only exquisite popular science books, but also various models of prehistoric monsters. Many young people stop here and use it as a place to take photos.

"Lao Gu, where did you go at noon?" A staff member standing in the exhibition hall walked up to him with great knowledge, "We are so busy today, you are actually lazy!"

Gu Xinxue pointed at Zhang Chu and said, "Fatty Xu, I'm going to be a human trafficker today. I'll abduct Zhang Chu for you. Now he will leave it to you, and you can use it whatever you want."

Xu Hui opened his mouth into an O-shaped shape, turned his head and looked at Zhang Chu, then wiped his palm on his clothes twice before stretching out, "We finally met, hello, classmate Zhang Chu!"

"I'm not good, you actually tricked me over. I think you are not good at it now."

Zhang Chu looked at Gu Xinxue with anger. He was kind enough to treat you to a meal, but he was tricked to come to the book fair to do a job. This is completely a matter of human hearts and moral degradation!

"Come on, come on, now you can get the sign out." Gu Xinxue and others were prepared and took out the prepared posters and exhibition stands from behind a pile of bookshelf.

Another female staff member took out a box of black signing pens and handed them to Zhang Chu, "Don't worry, our company has not prepared too many books today, and it will be finished after signing."

With a little confused head, Zhang Chu sat on the chair and asked, "Beautiful sister, how many books have you prepared?"

"Farewell My Concubine" has only prepared 200 books to try the waters, and after looking at the sales and response, it will be released on a large scale. Your other books are 500, so you don't read a lot!"

"Not much? Is this the rhythm of checking in and closing the store at night?"

Zhang Chu almost started to roar. The city had a deep routine, so he might as well go back to the countryside. This was cheated too hard.

Gu Xinxue turned his head and dispelled his concerns, "Don't stop Zhou Xiaoxiao's words. In fact, we only prepared 50 books per book, and we even sold a lot in the morning."

"That's fine, I'm a coolie!" Zhang Chu looked worried, "My fans are calling me back to update the rabbit. You guys are busy first, I'll update the comics."

"If you want to buy a big villa, just forget it if you don't write new books. You are not even proactive in selling old books. Where did you get the royalties? Did they fall from the sky?"

Gu Xinxue persuaded him earnestly.

At this time, a large poster appeared in front of the booth of Nanhai Publishing Company, with the words "Zhang Chu's Works Signing Party" written on it!
Chapter completed!
