The embarrassment of middle-aged men is that they have no money in their pockets!
The person who saved Lao Wen from embarrassment was not Deng Shangwei, the rich man next to him, but Wen Ying... Wen Ying did not come to pay Wen Dongrong's bill, but Wen Ying worked hard. Not only was the writing good, but she also prevailed in the lawsuit. "Young Man"
"Idol" has taken advantage of the news reports in the past few days, and the second batch of books printed and placed in major bookstores in Chengdu are still selling out.
Wen Dongrong wants to buy 30 books, but the bookstore does not have them, but if he is satisfied, other readers who buy books will run out.
The clerk told Lao Wen very coldly that each reader in line could only purchase 3 copies!
Wen Dongrong expressed his dissatisfaction in a leadership style: "There is a problem with the bookstore's stocking."
Deng Shangwei guessed that his brother-in-law bought so much and planned to give it away. Because Wen Dongrong did not push Deng Shangwei to block the gun muzzle alone, Deng Shangwei was grateful for his brother-in-law's conscience and pulled Lao Wen aside:
"I bought a lot before, why don't I give it to you first?"
Wen Dongrong was curious about how much Deng Shangwei meant by "a lot". Deng Shangwei was embarrassed and said, "...I bought 100 copies. Don't tell Xiaoying."
It is selfish to buy so much.
Deng Shangwei is not like Wen Dongrong who bought it as a gift. In his daily life circle, except for Qin Xianming, there are only two or three people who like to read, and most of them are bosses like Mr. Wang who don't read.
What's more, what is Deng Shangwei's stance on sending books to relatives and friends? Friends basically don't read the books, but giving them to relatives doesn't expose Wen Ying?
The books Deng Shangwei bought were only given to a few employees in the company. Old employees like Sister Fang who had teenage children at home were Deng Shangwei's first choice. Deng Shangwei hoped to develop a few real readers for Wen Ying.
Deng Shangwei’s other books are all piled up in the company.
He originally bought a hundred copies just to increase sales for Wen Ying.
If the book fails to sell on the first day it goes on the market, wouldn’t it damage Wen Ying’s self-confidence?
But now it seems that Wen Ying doesn't need the small sales data artificially increased by others.
After hearing this, Wen Dongrong didn't say that he didn't want the books from Deng Shangweiyun. He was just a little curious: "If you want to give them to me today, what are you going to do with the remaining books? Are you going to let the company eat dust?"
Deng Shangwei hesitated and refused to say anything. Wen Dongrong's curiosity was completely aroused and he insisted on asking to get to the bottom of it.
"I want to go back to my hometown when school starts in a few days and buy some other books and donate them to the school in my hometown."
Reading is indeed useful.
This is something Deng Shangwei has only experienced deeply in the past year.
The family atmosphere is completely different. Not only do the couple have a closer relationship with their children, but even Deng Yaomei, the nanny who has worked for the Deng family for several years, mustered up the courage to step out of her comfort zone through study.
Deng Shangwei thinks "Youth Idol" is a good book, suitable for adults who are already parents, and more suitable for teenagers in adolescence.
The price of books is not cheap. For urban students, 32 yuan is pocket money, but for rural students, it may be a week's living expenses.
How can more people see this book?
Deng Shangwei thought of donating books.
The libraries of rural middle schools are very slow to update. Most of the books are donated by others. The books are of varying degrees of newness and old, but the categories are all-inclusive. It is unlikely that such best-selling books will appear in the libraries of township schools.
If he wanted to donate, Deng Shangwei would also have to choose other books, such as "Hush, Little Secret" which was very popular this year. Almost every student in the city has a copy, but it may not be found in rural middle schools - except for "Young Idol"
and "Hush, Little Secret". What other books can be donated and what books cannot be donated? Deng Shangwei is not very confident.
Donating books is originally a good intention, but if you donate bad books, wouldn't it be a mistake for future generations?
Deng Shangwei didn't even tell his wife Chen Li about this matter, so the only person Deng Shangwei could ask for advice was probably Qin Xianming.
Under Wen Dongrong's questioning, Deng Shangwei revealed this plan.
Wen Dongrong has always looked down on him for making money in business, and Deng Shangwei was afraid that Wen Dongrong would misunderstand that he was showing off.
I didn’t want to hear Dongrong and then fell silent.
The big meal and drink at noon was Wen Dongrong's revenge consumption.
Now that I heard that Deng Shangwei was going to donate books, Wen Dongrong felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach from the big meal he had eaten at noon.
In fact, a simple meal is fine. People don't have to eat big meals to live. Deng Shangwei has the idea of giving back to his hometown. He is also a son of a farmer who entered the city, and his ideological consciousness is not as high as Deng Shangwei's.
When it comes to donating money to buy books, Wen Dongrong definitely has no money now.
Wen Ying has become a best-selling author, and Wen Ying is the richest in the family. However, Wen Dongrong cannot suppress Wen Ying and force Wen Ying to spend money to buy books with Deng Shangwei and donate them to township middle schools.
Wen Dongrong thought to himself, what can he do?
He does know some "friends", and as long as he opens his mouth, those friends will make a fuss about what they say.
If the work unit takes the lead and organizes local wealthy private business owners, the momentum created will be much greater than if Deng Shangwei fought alone.
It's not like Wen Dongrong doesn't know how to handle these things. He has been in the system for a long time, so he can naturally handle them beautifully.
Even if he does this, he will get praise and fame, and he can take the opportunity to suppress Lao Li to death... There are so many benefits, Wen Dongrong actually hesitated at this moment.
He suspected that he had eaten too much at lunch and had damaged his brain!
Forget it, let alone whether to do this or not, there is really something he can do at the moment.
Wen Dongrong has maintained the habit of reading and reading newspapers since he was young. The ability to write is not a natural gene, but Wen Dongrong's acquired training.
Over the years, as he grew older, Wen Dongrong also contracted the bad habits of a veteran in government agencies, but he never left behind his habit of reading books and newspapers.
Deng Shangwei didn’t know what kind of books to donate, but Wen Dongrong knew!
Wen Dongrong simply helped pick them up on the spot in the bookstore.
One made a choice and the other took notes. When the bookstore clerk learned what the two were going to do, he changed his dejected expression and recommended a lot of books suitable for teenagers.
Wen Ying called to urge her on the phone midway, but Wen Dongrong said perfunctorily: "Your uncle and I are in a hurry. You go shopping in the mall first and wait for us to get there."
After saying that, I hung up the phone without any explanation.
Wen Ying was confused.
Is there anything more important now than surrendering to Manager Chen?
It was these two people who urged her to come over in a hurry, and it was also two people who were not in a hurry now.
What should Du Li do if he finds Chen Ru first in all this time wasted?!
Wen Ying waited in the mall until after four o'clock before Wen Dongrong and Deng Shangwei showed up.
Neither of them mentioned the book selection in the bookstore. Wen Dongrong cleared his throat: "Shang Wei, talk to her."
The strategy discussed by Wen Dongrong and Deng Shangwei was a bitter one.
"When you see your mother, don't say anything else, just cry at the top of your lungs, cry as loudly as you can, howl as miserable as you can, and just say that you are being bullied! If necessary, you can
Holding her legs and crying..."
Two very old men, after thinking about it for so long, actually came up with such an idea.
Wen Ying's old face felt hot.
How old is she? She can't do anything like hugging Manager Chen's thigh and crying!
——Even if Manager Chen is an atomic bomb about to explode, Wen Ying can't hold Manager Chen's thigh and cry for forgiveness. What does her mother's anger mean in the face of dignity?
