Chapter 404 Disappointment
After Su Nanzhi successfully started her own business in her previous life, she experienced a lot of rumors.
At that time, she was busy with her career and didn't care much about dressing up.
But even so, those people still have plenty of excuses to criticize you.
It's not because you are good-looking or young, but because you are a woman, a woman who should stay at home and take care of the stove and regard her husband as her God, not a woman who is more capable than them.
Jiao Chuan's mentality is no different from his previous life when he pointed at Su Nanzhi and said that she was someone who made money by selling her lower body.
Su Nanzhi laughed and didn't argue with him. She just said calmly, "Then let's wait and see whose book sells better, you, an ugly old man, or me, a young and beautiful woman."
Jiao Chuan didn't expect Su Nanzhi to be so calm. He said angrily, "Su Nanzhi, don't be so arrogant. My book will be printed in a few days, but I don't know if your book can be listed."
Upon hearing this, Su Nanzhi's face immediately darkened.
During this period, she worked overtime to revise the title with the intention of publishing it this year.
But I ignored whether the printing factory could be ranked.
"Teacher Jiao, I'm afraid that when you print out a mountain of books, no one will buy them. That would be so embarrassing."
Su Nanzhi quickly regained her composure and even teased Jiao Chuan.
Jiao Chuan just thought she was pretending. "Mr. Su, you're just being stubborn now. By the time my book is sold all over China, yours will probably still be in the printing factory."
After saying that, he picked up the enamel pot, turned around and left the office angrily.
As soon as he left, several teachers immediately surrounded Su Nanzhi.
They were the ones who proofread Su Nanzhi's book, and they knew better than anyone else the value of the question book compiled by Su Nanzhi. The earlier Su Nanzhi's book was printed, the sooner high school students could use it, and the higher their chances of getting into university would be.
"Teacher Su, what should we do?"
"I think you should go talk to President Li about the printing matter?"
"That's not right. Teacher Su's cover and everything haven't been confirmed yet."
…
Hearing the teachers' concerned words one after another, Su Nanzhi interrupted them somewhat helplessly. She felt that if she did nothing, the teachers would probably not be able to work well in the next few days.
"Okay, I'll go ask President Li."
Su Nanzhi picked up the question book, comforted the teachers with a few words, and then walked towards the president's office.
In addition to the president, there was also Zhao Han in the president's office. When they saw Su Nanzhi coming, their expressions were stunned at first, and then gloomy.
Before she could open her mouth, President Li spoke first.
"Comrade Su, do you know about the printing factory?"
His expression was a little guilty and a little irritated.
"Don't worry, once your question book is finished, I will arrange for it to be printed immediately."
Zhao Han, who was standing by, picked up a few pictures on the table and handed them to Su Nanzhi.
"It's just right that you're here. This is the cover I asked someone to design for you. Which one do you want to use?"
Su Nanzhi took the picture, looked down at it, and handed it back.
“None of these will work.”
Zhao Han showed a surprised expression on his face. He looked down at a few pictures with a confused expression.
"These teachers are very good. Many of the works in our publishing house are designed by them."
Su Nanzhi shook her head. "These paintings are nice, but they're not suitable."
The painting that Zhao Han handed to her was very well done, and it was in the popular style of that era.
But just because it was the popular painting style of that era, Su Nanzhi felt that it was not acceptable.
She wanted her book to be noticed at a glance among the many college entrance examination books, so the book cover and title were very important.
"Xiao Su, do you have any ideas in your mind?"
President Li spoke, his tone full of confidence.
"Speak up and we'll discuss it."
Su Nanzhi opened the notebook in her hand, took out a picture from it and handed it over.
President Li and Zhao Han moved closer and had complicated expressions after seeing the contents on the paper.
Zhao Han: "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
Although President Li didn't say anything, his expression showed that he shared the same opinion.
Su Nanzhi gave a sly smile, "That's what I want!"
“I want people who enter a bookstore to see my book first among dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of other books.”
Su Nanzhi, who has been influenced by big data, knows too well the traffic that a clickbait headline can bring. What's more, her book is not really a clickbait headline. After all, her book still has some real substance.
"Besides high school seniors, the buyers of the book are also parents who buy it for their children. Some of these parents have no education. The title of this book is very straightforward, and parents will like it very much."
President Li and Zhao Han looked at the big words on the paper on the table: "Sweep the 300 questions in the college entrance examination; college is no longer a dream."
Quite straightforward indeed.
Next to the title, there were a lot of smaller words, like [If you don't read this book, you'll regret it for ten years! Read this book and choose any university you want] [Say goodbye to studying! This book will make learning easy and your exam scores awesome!] [Limited edition! Act fast and you'll win! Grab it and you'll win!]...
I don’t know what others would think when they saw it, but when President Li and Zhao Han saw it, they felt itchy and wanted to buy a copy too.
The one at the bottom is simple and exaggerated, but you can tell at a glance what kind of sketch it is, which perfectly captures the buyer's thoughts.
In the picture, there is a man wearing glasses, holding a rocket with the words "Sweep the 300 Questions of the College Entrance Examination" written on it in his hands, flying towards a gate with the words "First-class University" written on it.
"I'm not very good at drawing," Su Nanzhi coughed awkwardly when she saw the man with different-sized eyes in the painting. "Anyway, this is the general idea. Editor-in-Chief Zhao, please contact the artist to make some revisions when the time comes."
Zhao Han didn't respond and looked at President Li.
President Li picked up the book cover provided by Su Nanzhi, pondered for a few seconds, and then nodded.
"Editor Zhao, please have the drawing teacher draw the book cover according to Xiao Su's ideas as soon as possible."
After saying that, he looked at Su Nanzhi, "Xiao Su, now that we've solved the book cover problem, do you have any ideas for promotion?"
Su Nanzhi did not answer, but asked a question in return.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
President Li looked at Su Nanzhi and said, "Don't you have an idea in mind?"
Su Nanzhi: "Aren't you the president? Your opinion still needs to be heard."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhao Hanxian couldn't help it.
"President, Comrade Su, please stop playing dumb. I can arrange it sooner."
President Li smiled but said nothing. Su Nanzhi said, "Whoever needs this book, go there and promote it."
"If the senior high school students need it, then go directly to the school to promote it."
Zhao Han's eyes lit up, he picked up the drawing on the table and walked out of the office.
After she left, President Li continued to say to Su Nanzhi, "Xiao Su, I can only introduce you to the people I know, but I can't be sure whether the students will buy it."
Su Nanzhi raised an eyebrow and said, "If you think the students won't buy it, I won't introduce them to other people."
President Li laughed heartily and didn't deny it, but the smile soon disappeared from his face. He said seriously, "Xiao Su, you've also seen that our publishing house is not united. There are still many people waiting for me to fall. You can't let me down."
Su Nanzhi's face was full of confidence. "Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe the students' feedback?"
