Zhang Zhong was on Weiyu today, but when he was on it, the news about himself had not yet become popular. After all, even if the news in an 18th-rate entertainment newspaper is so popular that everyone has read it, it will take time.
.
If he had seen the news about himself before, he would naturally not come to Green Field Bookstore again.
Now that the matter has come out, Zhang Zhong can only accept it calmly. Looking at the stunned Zhang Junwei and his wife, he said, "I won't be able to stay here for long now. If you want to sign it, you can bring the book over now. If you don't want it, you can bring it over now."
If..."
"Yes, yes, I'll get it now."
At this time, Zhang Junwei reacted very quickly. After finishing speaking, he ran to the bookshelf like a monkey and took over the two copies of "Jieyou Grocery Store" that were originally placed on the display shelf.
When picking up these two books, Zhang Junwei couldn't help but think of the first time he met Zhang Zhong. At that time, Zhang Zhong wanted to buy these two books, but he didn't sell them.
The world was changing so fast, and as soon as I turned around, I offered these two books to him for autographs.
Zhang Zhong took the two books, quickly signed his name, and then pointed to the nameplate on Zhang Junwei's hand, "Aren't you going to give this to me?"
"This?" Zhang Junwei looked embarrassed.
Zhang Zhong drew the number 3 before, and everyone congratulated him, but now it feels dazzling no matter how you look at the 3, especially when you think of yourself as a 1.
"How about I change it for you later?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head and said with a smile, "No need, it's also fate."
"Then...okay." Zhang Junwei gave the nameplate to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong took the nameplate and looked at it. The nameplate was quite high-quality and must have been expensive. The number on it was "00000003".
He couldn't help but laugh a little. The book club now only had twenty-four people when it was full. Unexpectedly, Zhang Junwei and the others were very ambitious. According to this number, the book club could receive nearly 100 million people at most.
Zhang Zhong smiled at Zhang Junwei and the others, "Let's go now. See you when we have a chance."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After leaving Green Field Bookstore, he walked around the mall, first bought a pair of black-rimmed glasses without lenses, and then bought a peaked cap to make a little disguise.
There was only one photo in the news that was not very clear. Most people would not be able to recognize themselves after seeing it, but Zhang Zhong still thought it was better to be careful.
After putting on a good disguise, when Zhang Zhong returned to the painting club, Pengpeng was still painting seriously. He ran to the corner of the rest area and sat with his head down. The other parents glanced at him and then looked at their phones again.
After Pengpeng finished painting, she was stunned for a moment when she saw him, as if she didn't recognize him. Then she shouted, "Dad, why do you need to wear glasses?"
At this time, the other parents had left. Zhang Zhong held his daughter in his arms and said with a smile, "Does Dad's hat look good?"
"The hat is nice, but the glasses are not."
Pengpeng stretched out two fingers and poked at the frame, and suddenly passed through it. Pengpeng was startled, "There are no pieces of glass."
Zhang Zhong didn't explain too much to his daughter. He hugged her, said hello to Xu Yuhan and went back.
Xu Yuhan looked at Zhang Zhong's back from behind, wondering what happened to Zhang's father today. This peaked cap and black-rimmed glasses were not his style at all.
Still looking good as usual, Xu Yuhan shook her head and turned around to clean up the studio. This was the last class of the day and she was going home after cleaning up.
Recently, the studio has been accepting more and more students, her courses have become more intensive, and she has become busier and busier. However, this kind of busy life is what she wants, so she doesn't feel tired at all.
She is not afraid of losing money, but she also doesn’t want to lose money. She still has some leftover after deducting rent and other expenses from the tuition she earns every month.
After cleaning up the studio, she dragged her tired body back home, lazily threw her body on the sofa, and checked her cell phone.
After brushing for a while, she jumped up from the sofa as if she had been shocked.
Is it him?
She quickly found the book that Zhang Zhong left behind at that time. Because she had already read the book on the Internet, she had not read it since Zhang Zhong gave it to her and kept it on the bookshelf.
But now that she picked up this book, what was she expecting?
It was just a book. Just because he said it casually at that time, he gave it away casually.
However, in Xu Yuhan's heart, there was an expectation that she could not figure out.
The pages of the book were turned, and the black words on the last page caught Xu Yuhan's attention.
It's really him!
Xu Yuhan sat back on the sofa blankly, as if she had lost her soul.
…
After Zhang Chong returned home, Hu Huifang and others were also very surprised by his dress. He probably explained it to his parents a few times.
Hu Huifang said, "Then you can't go out from now on?"
"It's not such an exaggeration. No one would recognize me under normal circumstances." Zhang Zhong pointed to the hat and glasses: "Besides, don't we still have them?"
Zhang Xingjun nodded aside, "Not to mention, if you wear a hat and glasses, I won't even dare to recognize you when I walk on the street."
The main reason is that there is only one photo that he exposed, which is not very clear. After seeing it, most people can only leave a vague impression and cannot recognize him on the road.
As long as a few days pass and no more photos and images of him are exposed, no one will be able to recognize him when the heat of the matter subsides.
Besides, as long as you don't stand up and admit the news on the Internet, you can't take it seriously. It won't be long before the limelight will pass.
…
Things really turned out as Zhang Zhong thought. After a few days, after the limelight passed, there was almost no news related to his identity information online.
His new book "Murder on the Orient Express" was written two days ago, but he has not published it since he wanted his news to sink in slowly.
There were a lot of comments in the book review section and Weibo asking him about the news, but he turned a blind eye to them all.
He personally, including from Provoking Literature, has never made any response, no clarification, no denial. This cold treatment has achieved a very good effect.
In the middle, Shen Jian also called to apologize, saying that he had accidentally exposed Zhang Zhong, and Zhang Zhong comforted him a few words so that he didn't have to feel guilty.
The adaptation contract for "The Necklace" has been signed, and Zhang Zhong received an adaptation fee of 50,000 yuan. Because it is non-proprietary and it is a short story, the adaptation fee will not be too high.
For Zhang Zhong, fifty thousand was still better than nothing.
More than half a month after the incident, Zhang Zhong sat in front of the computer, opened his Provoking Literature account, selected a new work, and typed in the words "Murder on the Orient Express" in the title column.
After the new work was completed, he pasted another chapter on it.
It was around nine o'clock in the evening when the new work was created, and Duan Qiao had already gotten off work, but he still received the review news of the new book as soon as possible.
He was originally managing the book review area for Zhang Zhong's books. When he saw the news, he was shocked. He first clicked the button for approval, and then clicked on the new book to read.
Zhang Zhong originally posted a chapter and was about to go to bed, but he didn't expect that in just a few dozen seconds, the backend sent a message that it had passed the review.
Chapter completed!
