Chapter 119
The video conference lasted for an hour, during which Yunshu was distracted for a rare moment. The meeting was over before she knew it, but she had no idea what the leader on the big screen said. After the meeting, people left one after another. Yunshu stood by the window with his cell phone in his hand. The dial-up interface appeared on the screen, and the first number was Jing Ling's.
He placed his finger on it and then removed it, hesitating. I finally dialed the number, but no one answered.
Looks like he's busy again.
Most people had left, leaving only the girl on duty today to clean up the venue. After putting the last bench away, she said hello to Yun Shu, "Tan Zhen, aren't you leaving yet?"
"Let's go now." Yunshu put away his phone and walked away along the aisle along the wall.
After returning to the office, she sorted out her thoughts and threw herself back into work, which lasted from the afternoon to the evening. It was almost eight o'clock, and it was almost time to get off work. The girl on duty came over and asked her, "Tan Zhen, it's very late, aren't you going to get off work yet?"
Yunshu came back to her senses after hearing that. She raised her hand to rub her temples and said, "I'm leaving now." As she spoke, she collected the documents on the table, saved the files on the computer, turned off the computer, stood up, put on her coat, and prepared to leave with her bag in one hand and her phone in the other.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated. It was Jing Ling calling.
She swiped the screen to answer the call and put the phone to her ear, "Hello."
"Just got off work?" The boy's voice was filled with concern in the receiver.
"How do you know?" Yun Shu was stunned. Somehow, he thought of what happened in the tea mountain before. She subconsciously wanted to run out, and then she heard the boy on the phone explain, "I just heard the system shut down sound."
From expectation to disappointment, it only takes a second.
"Is that so?" Although she knew that Jing Ling had been very busy recently and had limited time to call her, let alone coming all the way here, her tone was inevitably a little disappointed.
Jing Ling over there didn't know if he had guessed her thoughts, and suddenly said, "Chinese New Year will be here soon, and you probably don't want to go back to the Tan family, so why don't you go to my house this year? It's a good opportunity to meet my sister."
Jing Ling has an older sister who is studying at the Normal University next to Jiaotong University. He had told her this before, but he didn't mention it much.
She has been so busy with work recently that she even forgot that the New Year is almost here. Indeed, she didn't want to go back to the Tan family at all. Spending the New Year there, the atmosphere could drive her crazy.
However, going to his house, especially during the New Year, does this mean... meeting his parents?
Yunshu suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Are you nervous, Yunshu?" Jing Ling's chuckle came from the other side.
Yun Shu was immediately stimulated, "No, I was just thinking about what I should bring with me. I can't go to visit empty-handed."
"As long as you bring yourself along, my sister and I will be very happy."
In the past, when Jing Ling said this kind of thing, Yun Shu would only be touched by the sweetness, but today, perhaps because she was stimulated, her focus suddenly shifted, "Why do you say love words so smoothly?"
There was a suspicious silence for two seconds. "...Do you believe me if I say this is an innate talent?"
"I almost forgot about this afternoon. You admitted your mistake to me, but you haven't told me what you did wrong yet."
Jing Ling suddenly understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. He raised a helpless smile and replied, "My mistake was not reporting GG to you in advance. Next time there is a similar situation, I will report it to you in advance, okay?"
"Um."
"You've been busy all day, go back and rest early." Jing Ling reminded.
Yunshu replied, "You too, it's cold in Junshan and filming is tiring, take care of yourself and don't get sick."
"good."
Just as Jing Ling hung up the phone, she heard Chen Ze beside her snort, "I guess if you weren't busy filming, you would definitely want to fly over right away."
Jing Ling turned to look at him, revealing a standard smile with eight teeth, "Yes, Aze, you really know me too well!"
Shen Ze: “…” He was clearly being sarcastic, but when it came out of the other person’s mouth, the tone sounded proud! Do you have any shame left? !
Every time he faced Jing Ling, no matter whether he was at a disadvantage openly or secretly, he would suffer a little, and Shen Ze felt very depressed. I tried to tell myself not to argue with a kid, and it took me a while to calm down. I looked at him and asked, "You should know that according to our national conditions, no matter what region, meeting the parents is basically the same as settling down. Have you thought about it? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Miss Tan, but you're only eighteen. Isn't it a little too early?"
People become adults at the age of eighteen. It is at this age that many people are relieved from their heavy academic workload and enter the university campus, where their wonderful life begins. On the other hand, many people in this age group are only physically adults but are still immature psychologically. They are not financially independent, their future is uncertain, and they simply cannot afford to start a family.
Of course, these questions don't seem to apply to Jing Ling. He is much more mature in dealing with people and things than his peers, and he has no shortage of money, but his career is different from that of ordinary people. People in this circle, when most people's faces have begun to show signs of aging, they are still glamorous on the big screen. It is very common for them to get married and start a family in their thirties or forties, and it is not surprising if they are older.
And Jing Ling is only eighteen years old.
"You think too much." Jing Ling rolled her eyes at Chen Ze in a very unpresentable manner, "It's just a meal together during the New Year. But you are right about one thing, there is nothing wrong with Yun Shu, so I have already decided on her, unless she doesn't want me."
Chen Ze was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly took out his mobile phone, unlocked it, turned on the camera, switched to the front camera, and then put it in Jing Ling's hand, then raised his hand so that the camera could capture his face.
"Why, you want to take a photo with me?" Jing Ling let him do what he wanted, but his mouth was not idle.
Chen Ze rolled his eyes at him, "I just think you're talking nonsense. Look in the mirror and take a good look at your face. Unless you're blind, who would want you?"
Jing Ling honestly looked in the mirror, posed a few times in front of the camera, took a few selfies, and returned the phone to Chen Ze. "This is for you, no need to thank me. Also, my Yunshu is different from ordinary people, you can't be sure."
Chen Ze couldn't stand it any longer, so he pointed to the side and shouted with all his strength, "Get out!"
January 15th is coming soon, and at 3:00 p.m., Victor magazine’s sixth anniversary celebration will officially open for pre-sale.
This is Jing Ling's first magazine. After shooting the promotional film, I thought it would be published at the end of last year, but I didn't expect it to be scheduled for January. Victor’s opening year + anniversary, this kind of significance is enough to show how much the magazine values Jing Ling.
A day in advance, Shen Ze discussed with Jing Ling and asked him whether he should contact the magazine. Because it's his first time on the cover, no one can estimate the data accurately. We need to see if we should make some arrangements and communicate with the magazine to have them put up more copies and buy more copies ourselves. This way, the data will be very good and it will guarantee a good start.
"No need, let the magazine arrange it themselves, as long as they have enough."
"That's fine."
Unexpectedly, they didn't contact us, but the magazine called to ask about it. After learning about Jing Ling's idea, it was not difficult to hear the appreciation in their tone. In the end, they briefly talked about the plan.
"Then let's start with a pre-sale of 10,000. Based on past data, this amount is relatively conservative."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Liang!"
That night, Jing Ling mentioned it on Weibo.
Jing Ling Tian Xia Di Er V: Tomorrow at 3 pm, @Victor magazine's sixth anniversary celebration will be officially open for pre-sale, limited to 10,000 copies, with a free copy of the sea, feathers can pay attention to it [love you][love you]
The Weibo post came with a complimentary poster, which showed a corner of the campus. The red brick wall was covered with green ivy. A young boy was leaning against the wall, holding a schoolbag in one hand and a coat on his shoulder in the other. His chin was slightly raised, with a hint of impatience between his brows. He looked very much like the boy I imagined in my school days, beautiful yet unruly.
As soon as the Weibo post was released, the comments below exploded.
Depth of Time: Oh my god, I got it right. He is simply the real-life version of the male protagonist in youth novels!
Unable to wake up from a dream: This kind of bad and handsome feeling, if there was such a person when I was in school, I would definitely be in trouble!
Zhu Yan Ci Jing Hua Ci Shu: Am I the only one focusing on the data? Limited to 10,000 copies, which seems like a lot, but considering the previous daily newspaper and two lipstick sales, I feel that this is not enough to fill the gap between my teeth. I am trembling while holding my campus network QAQ
An An An An Xin: On the same campus network, we are ready to open the accelerator and grab it! Menger, please bless me to be one of the lucky ones!
Deep Sea in the Clouds: Twenty-five years of single hand speed + 100M fiber optic + accelerator platinum membership + top-end hosting, I don’t believe I can’t get it! ...If something unexpected happens and I can’t get it, I’ll buy it at a high price!
Three hours after the Weibo post was published, the number of comments exceeded 20,000. Chen Ze took a quick look and half of the people who had read the page expressed their willingness to buy. He suddenly had a hunch that the conservative number of 10,000 copies given by the magazine would definitely not be enough.
And on the next day, his premonition became reality.
At 3 pm, Victor magazine’s official website opened pre-sales on time. Before this, countless fans had been waiting for this page, refreshing it constantly. However, there is a certain delay in refreshing the web page, and people move at different speeds. Many people refreshed the page at the right time, and after reloading it, they found that the purchase button was still gray. They thought that the official version had not been opened yet, and they continued to refresh it out of habit. Suddenly, their sight stopped, because the text on it changed from "Buy" to "Sold Out".
Looking at the time, only two seconds had passed.
10,000 magazines were sold out in two seconds, or maybe just one second.
No one expected this number. Whether it is Chen Ze, the fans or even the magazine officials.
