Chapter 413: Writer’s Signing Event
“Hello, Shion-sensei, Air-sensei. I’m an editor at Wenqing, Tusiji. My real name is Qian Jiaxuan. Starting today, I’ll be the editor for both of you.”
After returning to her home country, Yu Linna hadn’t even had time to warm her seat before she met the new editor that Wenqing had arranged for her, who was also Zhao Yuyan’s new editor. Because of Chen Xi’s incident, the editor position for the two Wenqing great gods, Air-sensei and Shion-sensei, had been vacated. Many people didn’t dare to take on this position, afraid that they wouldn’t do as well as Chen Xi. At this time, it was Qian Jiaxuan who had stood up and volunteered, and it was only then that it was decided that she would be the editor for these two authors.
Qian Jiaxuan had a soft appearance. Although she wasn’t particularly beautiful, she was still a relatively cute type. Unlike Chen Xi’s cold, bespectacled onee-san image, she gave people the feeling of being very easy to bully. Just like now, she was standing at the entrance of Yu Linna’s and Zhao Yuyan’s house, her hands crossed in front of her, and she was even bowing and saluting. People who didn’t know would have thought she had learned some kind of etiquette in Japan.
And she really didn’t have much authority. She didn’t have Chen Xi’s ability to command a room with just a slight change in her expression. If she had to say, she was more like a friendly neighbor.
“Hello, Editor Qian. I’ll be in your care from now on.”
Yu Linna spoke first to ease Qian Jiaxuan’s nervousness. As for Zhao Yuyan, she was still munching on snacks at this time, but she still smiled politely at her.
Now Qian Jiaxuan was even more nervous.
These two authors were both brought up by her senior, Chen Xi, and had nothing to do with her, Qian Jiaxuan. It was her first time being an editor for such a great god author. Could she really do it well? At this thought, Qian Jiaxuan was a little regretful for having volunteered to be their editor.
“No, you don’t have to be so polite. Just call me Sister Qian. I, I’m not that old… I’m only 23 this year. My current status is, single, single…”
“You’re too nervous. Don’t be like this. We’re not monsters that eat people.”
To this, Yu Linna was quite helpless.
This editor was really a complete newcomer. Was it really okay for her to be in charge?
Wuwuwu, I’ve messed up this time. Qian Jiaxuan had cursed herself countless times in her heart. She really wanted to slap herself.
“By the way, Qian… Sister Qian, you were brought up by Sister Chen, right? I’ve heard her mention you before.”
Yu Linna tried to change her form of address and also tried her best to treat her as an elder, as an editor. But in her heart, she was still quite nostalgic for Chen Xi. To think that Chen Xi could be such an outstanding editor at the age of only 26. This young editor, could she really do as well as her senior?
“Yes, yes, Shion-sensei. To be ashamed to say, although I was brought up by Sister Chen during my newcomer period, this is my first time being an editor for a popular author. If there’s anything I’m not doing right, please forgive me.”
“I’ve already said you don’t have to be so reserved…”
Yu Linna, who was just 20 this year, was very tired. This person was clearly the adult, so why did she have the appearance of a junior? Besides, she, Yu Linna, didn’t look scary.
Zhao Yuyan, on the other hand, didn’t say a word, quietly eating her snacks, completely different from her usual troublemaking appearance.
After Qian Jiaxuan had taken Zhao Yuyan’s manuscript, Yu Linna had specially asked her why she was so cold, since she was her new editor. Zhao Yuyan had replied this way:
“Although it’s a good thing that she has determination, I don’t think she can be like Sister Chen. Also, she’s too cautious. I don’t mean to belittle her, but I think since she’s made up her mind, she should at least look the part.”
It was really hard to imagine that Zhao Yuyan, who was always known for her decadent and salted fish image, would actually say such words. Although what she said was a bit harsh, it was indeed a fact.
As an editor, Qian Jiaxuan was far from being qualified.
…
And after this, what came was the all-star author signing event held by Wenqing. At that time, all of Wenqing’s popular authors would come to sign for the fans who had come to participate in the event. This could also be considered a disguised popularity contest for the authors. Every year at this time, it was a time for Wenqing’s authors to compete for their popularity, to see who could sign more autographs for their fans. It had become a default competition every year.
And the author who had gotten the highest popularity last year was Air-sensei.
This year was a little different. This year was Shion-sensei’s first time participating in the all-star author signing event. This news was enough to make her true fans explode. Many fans had also booked nearby hotels and bought plane and train tickets in advance after learning this news, just to get Shion-sensei’s personal autograph. If they were lucky, they might even get to shake her hand.
Besides, Shion-sensei was such a cute little loli. Who wouldn’t like her? Especially the fans who had previously thought she was a scruffy literary youth. Now that they knew this author was going to hold a signing event, who wouldn’t be excited?
On the day of the event, Yu Linna and the other authors had to prepare in advance. For this, Yu Linna had to get up before six to put on makeup and change her clothes. Ye Zhiyun couldn’t be there because she was busy with work. Yu Linna had to prepare in her rented apartment by herself. The night before, she had invited Fang Jiangning over to stay the night, and Fang Jiangning had also helped her with her makeup.
Yu Linna’s foundation was already good, so she didn’t need much effort. But Fang Jiangning, looking at her baby face, always felt that letting this kid out would easily make people misunderstand that they were hiring child labor.
If only there could be some change.
Ah, I’ve got it. Fang Jiangning made a fist with her left hand and knocked it on her right palm.
“Linna, let’s put on some more makeup.”
“Mmm, okay. Let’s do it.”
“You put this in.”
“…Isn’t this a breast pad? What do you want me to put this in for!”
“Your chest is not fierce enough. The effect might be good if you put it in. And it’s a rare signing event. If you’re going to do it, you should do it big.”
“No matter how you say it, it’s too big!”
“Don’t worry about that. Quick, put it in!”
“What are you doing? Don’t pull my clothes! You pervert!”
However, Yu Linna could not resist Fang Jiangning’s attack and had to put in the breast pads in humiliation. God, although her chest was a little small, was it really okay to put this in? Her clothes were also revealing her cleavage. If she wore this out, it would definitely make people want to commit a crime.
“Little Nana, haven’t you changed your clothes yet? We should be going soon.”
Zhao Yuyan had already finished her makeup on her side. She had been waiting for Yu Linna for a long time and had no choice but to go and knock on her door to ask if she was ready.
A moment later, the door opened.
Zhao Yuyan was completely stunned.
In front of her was a loli with a seductive appearance, her big, watery eyes looking ahead, as if a little confused. Her long golden hair was braided and placed on her right chest. She opened the door, her eyes staring at the other party. But the most terrifying thing was not this, but this person’s chest. The originally flat airport had suddenly bulged, and she even had cleavage. This was clearly trying to get people to commit a crime!
This is obviously a breast pad, don’t think I don’t know!
Although Zhao Yuyan wanted to say so, putting this aside, Yu Linna’s outfit was still quite beautiful. No matter which woman it was, seeing Yu Linna in this state would surely show a maternal halo.
Although this person said she was 20 years old, no matter how you looked at it, she didn’t look like it. On the contrary, she looked like she was 12 or 13. Besides, this person had no parents and didn’t even know her own date of birth. It wasn’t even certain if she was 20.
But Zhao Yuyan seemed to have discovered that she had deviated from her target.
“It’s quite suitable. Little Nana, it’s very beautiful.”
“Thank you. Jiangning insisted that I wear this. I always feel it’s very strange…”
“How is it strange? It’s very beautiful.”
Zhao Yuyan really wanted to give Fang Jiangning a thumbs-up. This girl had done a beautiful job.
Although Yu Linna felt very strange, and the clothes she was wearing were light and airy, she still wore them to the venue. When she entered the door, the staff were all stunned. Even the editors who had known her for a long time were so shocked their jaws dropped when they saw her in this state. It was the first time they had seen Shion-sensei dressed like this.
Yu Linna found her seat, sat down, and waited for the readers to enter. And the other Wenqing authors, seeing a blonde loli sitting opposite them, her petite body fiddling with a name tag, that cute little smile on her face making one’s heart itch. Such a girl, was she really a writer like them? Are you sure she’s not some author’s daughter who has run over?
If Yu Linna really knew what they were thinking, she would surely have slapped them.
After the readers officially entered, many fans were stunned. They saw a blonde loli sitting at the seat with Shion-sensei’s name on it, not saying a word, waiting for them to come over. Those big, watery eyes stared at these readers, as if to say, “Are you sure you’re not coming?”
My god, who could stand this?
And so, many readers were captivated, and all queued up to go to Shion-sensei’s place for an autograph. A few of the bolder girls even asked if they could shake her hand, and when Shion-sensei was in a good mood, she would agree. As for the boys, they could just think about it.
Even if they weren’t fans of Shion-sensei, after seeing Shion-sensei in such a cute state, who could stand it? They all defected one after another. At the very least, after getting their own idol’s autograph, they would go and queue up in the long line again.
This day, Shion-sensei’s popularity was very high.
Although her appearance was also a plus point, many people had also bought several sets of Dawn Assassin to support her. In the eyes of the fans, Shion-sensei was an almost invincible existence. She handled the novel’s illustrations herself, and her appearance was so beautiful. She was just like a girl who had walked out of a 2D world. Such a genius, it was not enough to just hold her in your palm and dote on her. How could they have been so foolish as to flame her before?
Soon, the photos of Shion-sensei at the signing event were posted on Weibo and were spread by many fans, and were even made into memes. They were tireless in this. But with such high popularity, and so many people chasing after her, there would surely be people who would flame her. These haters could always find a suitable excuse to flame her. For example, flaming her for being a foreigner, flaming her for not being 100% of Chinese blood, and also flaming her for relying on her looks, and then flaming her novels for being toilet paper. Anyway, they would flame her however they could.
Of course, Yu Linna had no feeling about this. She didn’t care what people thought of her. These haters, she just had to ignore them.
…
And at the beginning of this year, Yu Linna, who had welcomed her own new year, was working hard, striving in the direction she wanted. Not long after, Yu Linna received her first invitation to write a movie script.
