Chapter 18: The Annunciation
Although he became a squad leader, Chen Feng did not have the consciousness of being a squad leader, so he still did what he should do. When he is in class now, he is generally "self-learning English", which is one of the reasons why Cheng Wei at the same table admires him deeply, because he basically doesn't listen to classes, but his grades are still so good, especially knowing that Chen Feng can already "write essays" in English, and he scribbles and changes on the manuscript paper every day, which is even more admired. He didn't know that Chen Feng had been revising and refining the second part of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and was now nearing completion.
Judging from the current book market in the world, Harry Potter's second book is undoubtedly the most anticipated book by global readers, for this reason, Cai Shuqing's agent is under a lot of pressure, and the most annoying thing for her is that all over the world, especially the Hong Kong paparazzi have caused trouble to her life, because the whirlwind of "Harry Potter" is blowing around the world, and she, the originally unknown president of a third-rate publishing house, has suddenly become a public figure, and because she is the agent of the mysterious writer FENGCHEN, The popularity is not far behind those first-class stars. Many reporters came to interview her uninvited, and many of them asked acquaintances, relatives and friends to come to her, but she also accepted interviews with several media outlets, and she was in the limelight for a while, and she had already appeared on the covers of several well-known newspapers and magazines. OF COURSE, WHEN SHE WAS INTERVIEWED, SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT FENGCHEN'S TRUE IDENTITY AND KEPT HER MOUTH SHUT, WHICH MADE THOSE MEDIA DISAPPOINTED AT THE SAME TIME, SHE STILL SENT PEOPLE TO INTERVIEW ONE AFTER ANOTHER, HOPING TO DIG UP FIRST-HAND INFORMATION FROM HER AND UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY OF FENGCHEN. IT CAN BE SAID THAT RECENTLY, CAI SHUQING HAS BECOME THE DARLING OF THE WORLD'S MAJOR MEDIA, AND PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT A SECRET ABOUT FENGCHEN FROM HER.
Now, according to incomplete statistics, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, which is still completed in less than two years, which is a miracle. The United Kingdom, the first country, was of course the best-selling place for the book, having sold more than three million copies; In the United States, although it has only been released for less than two months, the sales momentum is gratifying, the first printing of 1 million copies has been sold out, the second edition has been printed, and the print run has increased to 2 million copies at once, in addition, Australia, Canada and other countries have also sold very well, selling more than 1 million copies one after another.
With the hot sale of the first part, the second part is of course even more eye-catching and looking forward to the world. THE PUBLISHING HOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES, AFTER THE FIRST "PHILOSOPHER'S STONE" WAS A BIG HIT, CALLED CAI SHUQING ALMOST EVERY DAY TO URGE THE DRAFT, AND THE HAZAKH FAN ASSOCIATION, WHICH HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF REGISTERED PEOPLE IN THE UK, IS INCREASINGLY CALLING FOR THE SECOND PART, AND EVEN A FEW IMPULSIVE BOOK FANS HAVE BEGUN TO SIT IN PUBLIC PLACES, STRONGLY DEMANDING FENGCHEN AND THE PUBLISHING HOUSE TO RELEASE A SEQUEL TO "HARRY POTTER". Cai Shuqing has no choice, and has often urged Chen Feng to write recently, strongly asking him to deliver the manuscript within a month, otherwise with proofreading, typesetting and printing, it may not be too late to publish and distribute before the end of the year.
A few days ago, Chen Feng was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to promise to deliver the manuscript within a month, and told her that she could release the news early to warm up and hype the market.
THEREFORE, IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, THE WORLD MEDIA HAS MORE OR LESS PUBLISHED THE NEWS THAT FENGCHEN WILL RELEASE THE SECOND PART OF THE HARRY POTTER SERIES, "HARRY POTTER AND THE SECRET ROOM", BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. This news was unexpectedly published in the city's evening newspaper, and it happened to be seen by Hongye, and he took it to Chen Feng to confirm it as if he was offering a treasure.
When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was auctioned in Italy, no domestic publishing house participated in the bidding, so the Chinese version has not yet been released, and now the popularity of this book in China is not very high, and many people have not heard of it. After all, Hongye is only a junior high school student, she just knows that this book has made a lot of money for Chen Feng, but she doesn't know how famous this book is abroad, so she saw a local evening newspaper publish a cross-cross news about "Harry Potter" in a bad place, so she came to "report the good news".
"Chen Feng, your book is in the newspaper, I heard from my classmates that this newspaper is the largest newspaper in our city, and you are famous." Momiji smiled proudly, "I'm the first reader of your book." ”
Chen Feng didn't want to hit her positive news*, so he also smirked: "Yes! I didn't expect my book to be on the "Xiuzhou Evening News". ”
"Chen Feng, if you hadn't asked me to keep it a secret, I would have to loudly announce this good news to the whole class now."
"*Son, if there is anything to be kept secret, I will listen to it too." Cheng Wei came over with an ice cream in one hand and a plastic bag in the other.
"Go, it's none of your business." Chen Feng rolled his eyes angrily and said, "It's autumn now, do you still eat ice cream?" Besides, you're a big man, how do you like to eat what women like to eat. ”
"Boss, you're too feudal, aren't you? Who said ice cream must be something that women eat, and we men can't eat it? Now that the autumn tiger is in full swing, just eat this to quench your thirst. ”
Cheng Wei said as he respectfully took out two other ice creams from the plastic bag and handed them to Chen Feng and Hongye.
Of course, both of them knew where Cheng Wei got the money to buy ice cream, and they accepted his filial piety without thinking about it.
"Boss, I just saw that the class leader next door to us has a treat, you are the new class leader, do you also mean to invite the guests of the whole class?"
"You kid, don't you think your boss has a lot of money?" Chen Feng glared angrily.
Cheng Weithief smiled: "Boss, I see that you carry at least hundreds of dollars on you every day, and I saw you at the school gate a few times ago. You must have too much money at home to spend, so why not buy a little money to buy the hearts of the whole class? ”
For the safety and convenience of Chen Feng and Hongye going to and from school, Huang Yong and Zhang Qiangguo drove to pick up and drop off every day, but for fear of attracting attention, the place where the car was parked was some distance from the school gate, but I didn't expect Cheng Wei to see it.
"Yes, Chen Feng, anyway, you used to be the class leader, but now that you are in the new class and the class leader, you should have a good treat to increase the relationship between the whole class and you. What's more, isn't there another great joy today? Momiji shook the newspaper in his hand, "It's time to celebrate." ”
Seeing that Hongye had spoken, of course Chen Feng didn't care about this money, and immediately took out a hundred yuan, and seeing that Cheng Wei looked like he had succeeded in his plan, he couldn't help but warn: "Cheng Wei, this money is for the whole class, you don't want to pretend to be public or private, otherwise, you won't want to take money from me in the future." ”
Cheng Wei immediately made a look of loyalty and courage.
"Boss, you put a hundred hearts. The reason why I asked the boss to treat me this time is all for you, boss, you have to believe it, let * Zi go with me to buy it. ”
"No need. I can trust you. ”
Chen Feng waved his hand, and Cheng Wei immediately flashed.
Soon after, Cheng Wei came in with two large plastic bags, walked up to the podium, put things on the podium, and said loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, in order to thank everyone for their support to him, Chen Feng elected him as the class leader, and he is treated today!" ”
As soon as the words ended, the whole class cheered. One by one, they rushed over to "share the food", of course, the boys accounted for the majority, but there were several girls who loved to eat snacks, and the movements were very fierce, most of the boys retreated, and they robbed a lot of delicious food.
After this class reception or open bribery, Chen Feng's popularity has soared a lot, and now if he votes again, his support will definitely be as high as more than 90%.
If there are still people who are unhappy, of course, it is Wang Hongbin, the former squad leader who had a holiday with Chen Feng. However, he has already seen Chen Feng's ferocity, and he is really afraid of him, as he said, his father is only the deputy director of the Education Bureau, not the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, plus Chen Feng looks like a nouveau riche at first glance, the family is very rich, and last time he saw Chen Feng pick up and drop off after school, the two people who picked him up were probably bodyguards, and he really couldn't afford to provoke them. From a traditional point of view, a person like Wang Hongbin, although a little bureaucrat, is still a good student.
