It wasn't until the bell rang that Zhong Wenhua, who was immersed in the novel, reacted belatedly.
He turned around and saw the surprised eyes of everyone in the classroom. He suddenly waved his hands in embarrassment and sighed.
"I have read a lot of novels and thought that this was all the novels in the world. It was not until I saw this book "Zhu Xian" today that I realized how shallow my vision is!"
"In my heart, this novel is completely comparable to Jin Yong and Gurung's works, and even to a certain extent, it has surpassed them!"
Everyone in the classroom was shocked when they heard Mr. Zhong's sigh.
What the hell, this novel written by an author with no reputation, Mr. Zhong actually compares it with the likes of Jin Yong and Gu Long?
No kidding, does this novel deserve such high praise?
After finishing speaking, Zhong Wenhua turned his head kindly and looked at Lin Yuqing, who had been stunned for a long time. "Classmate, can you lend me your book for a few days? I owe you a favor."
Lin Yuqing was dumbfounded. Is this still the merciless Zhong Wenhua that he remembered?
I read a novel in class, and not only did he not punish me, but he also had such a kind attitude?
After only a brief shock, Lin Yuqing reacted again.
She was obviously most afraid of Zhong Wenhua. Looking at the "Zhu Xian" in Mr. Zhong's hand, she didn't know where the courage came from and stammered. "Zhong... Teacher Zhong, I haven't finished reading it yet. I'm afraid I can't lend it to you for the time being."
You’re welcome!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole classroom immediately exploded.
What the hell, Mr. Zhong was rejected?
This was a good opportunity to make friends with a top professor like Mr. Zhong, and you actually gave up?
There is something wrong with this woman's brain. It's just a book. Rejecting Mr. Zhong? Giving up Mr. Zhong's favor?
Hearing this, Zhong Wenhua was stunned for a moment, and soon returned "Zhu Xian" to Lin Yuqing without laughing.
As a teacher, although he is usually strict, he has not gone to the extent of robbing students of their things.
"Then can you tell me where you bought this book?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing was stunned, and quickly told her what she had just received, and then what the person who issued the book had told her.
"Qiaodong Bookstore, right? Thank you very much, classmate." Mr. Zhong nodded with satisfaction, walked out and said solemnly.
"I must visit this author and ask him for advice on how to write this novel!"
Mr. Zhong?
Ask someone for advice?
Everyone wondered if their ears had heard it wrong. This was the best professor in the Chinese Department of Peng University, one of the best in the country. How could it be possible to ask others for advice?
After Zhong Wenhua left get out of class, there was a crash and everyone rushed towards Lin Yuqing.
They were extremely curious. What kind of novel could the old-fashioned Professor Zhong Wenhua praise so highly? He even said the word "ask for advice"?
Is a mere novel really so attractive?
Not only that, not long after, the news that Zhong Wenhua was attracted by a book also came to Peng University campus.
Even the teachers who came to class later had disbelief written on their faces after hearing this.
Because of a book, the old-fashioned cultural attitude changed 180 degrees?
Don't be kidding, who is Zhong Wenhua? He is an existence that even the martial arts master Jin Yonggu Long knows. What novel is worthy of his obsession?
And the book "Zhu Xian" became completely popular in Peng.
In fact, not only Pengcheng University, but also more than ten universities in Pengcheng, Xinwu distributed the first volume of "Zhu Xian" for free.
And the effect is also very good!
Although it is not as popular as the huge popularity brought by Peng Dazhong Culture, the impact "Zhu Xian" has given to the student group is also extremely huge!
After everyone watched the bizarre world of "Zhu Xian", they immediately couldn't help but share it with their friends. Over time, "Zhu Xian" gradually spread in major universities...
At the same time, inside Kuaige Bookstore.
Cheng Lin and Xu Lei were talking and laughing, watching the lively scene in the bookstore.
When he saw that "Legends of Martial Arts" had sold dozens of copies in just a short time, Cheng Lin's face was filled with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Lei's heart moved and he said with a flattering look,
"Hahaha... Even a mere newbie wants to compete with our Tianhai Publishing House. It's simply unreasonable!"
Xu Lei knows very well that only by relying on the big tree of Tianhai Publishing House can his Kuaige Bookstore grow bigger and bigger.
As for Xin Wu, it can only be said that his luck is not very good.
He offended Tianhai, even the gods could not save him!
Hearing Xu Lei's flattery, Cheng Lin was naturally very satisfied.
Xinwu, ah Xinwu, even your former good friends have betrayed you, what else do you have to be proud of?
"Don't worry, Boss Xu. Even if Xinwu leaves, you will still be an excellent partner of our Tianhai."
Hearing this, Xu Lei was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "That's good, that's good. I'll rely on Chief Editor Cheng from now on."
As he spoke, he stuffed a thick red envelope into Cheng Lin's hand.
After weighing the thickness of the red envelope, Cheng Lin suddenly burst into laughter.
Cheng Lin stuffed the red envelope into his pocket without leaving any trace, and waved his hand. "Let's go, let's go see how the sales of Xinwu's "Zhu Xian" are doing?"
"Hahaha, Editor-in-Chief Cheng, you are really good at joking. It's a question of whether you can sell one copy of this crappy book this morning!" Xu Lei said unceremoniously.
"Hey, our new editor-in-chief is still capable. Maybe we can sell one or two copies today!"
Cheng Lin waved his hand casually, with a mocking look on his face.
In this shabby bookstore, there is no famous author, and the work is not a mainstream subject, so it is a ghost if it can be sold!
While thinking about it, Cheng Lin also stepped outside the Kuaige Bookstore.
As soon as he raised his head, Cheng Lin suddenly froze on the spot, and there was no movement for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Xu Lei behind him couldn't help but curl his lips.
As for that? Just a few guests were so shocked?
I want to see how many guests there are in this broken bridge, ten or eight?
Immediately afterwards, he also stepped out of his bookstore, then looked up and looked across the road.
Just at this glance, Xu Lei was instantly confused.
The shabby bookstore that was less than 5 square meters under the bridge in front of me actually had a long queue of nearly 60 to 70 meters.
Looking back at the thirty or so people in his bookstore, Xu Lei shook his head in despair.
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.
Cheng Lin clenched his fists and strode towards the road.
Although he couldn't imagine why there were so many people in this broken bridge, he still didn't believe that "Zhu Xian" published by Xinwu would have such great charm!
Xu Lei on the side was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked straight to the queue at Qiaodong Bookstore and asked a random boy, "Handsome guy, can you tell me what you guys are queuing up to buy here?"
The boy looked matter-of-factly. ""Zhu Xian" is sold in this one place in the entire Pengcheng city! Hundreds of people here are waiting to buy it."
"So many people are buying "Zhu Xian"?" Hearing this, Cheng Lin couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Why would anyone buy this rubbish novel?"
Cheng Lin couldn't believe this result at all.
Why is a non-mainstream work written by an unknown person so popular among so many people!
Cheng Lin's words made everyone in line next to him unconvinced.
"If you say it's rubbish, it's rubbish. I looked at it and thought it looked pretty good!"
"It's just that if you don't like it, don't buy it. Why should you slander others as trash!"
"Who are you? You are talking nonsense here!"
Hearing this, Cheng Lin instantly became angry.
Who is he? How dare anyone contradict him?
"I'm the editor-in-chief of Tianhai Publishing House, and my vision can't be matched by you rubbish viewers?"
"This book "Zhu Xian" is not written by a famous artist, nor is it produced by a well-known publishing house, so only you unskilled rubbish readers can buy it!"
But as soon as Cheng Lin finished speaking, there was a sudden and unceremonious roar from the side, "Fuck you. How dare you say "Zhu Xian" is a rubbish novel!"
Cheng Lin turned his head unconvinced, but when he saw the old man in front of him, he was suddenly confused.
"You... aren't you Professor Zhong from Pengcheng University?"
In the literary circles of Pengcheng, Zhong Wenhua is a famous figure. His students are all over the country in the cultural field!
Such a top scholar, he actually queued up to buy "Zhu Xian" here??!
