Chapter 452, in order to pick up girls, hurry up and publish a book

Here, it is still in Los Angeles, and autumn has arrived.

Although the cold wind is not as cold as it is, every household has to wear thick clothes, and the residents of Culvercheng have bought new clothes. At the same time, as the New Year is approaching, many grand festivals will come one after another. Halloween will come first, Thanksgiving will follow closely, and then there will be Christmas and the New Year that everyone celebrates and is almost shoulder to shoulder. As the festive atmosphere arrives, every household will feel happy.

"Mom~ I'll go out~"

"Dad! See you back!"

At the 15th House of Winton Street, Hannah and Oscar walked out of the house one after another. Both brother and sister have grown up. At least after this winter, Oscar can get a driver's license that he can't wait to get, and Hannah will enter high school and become a glorious and great world savior - Alice.

The boy was wearing a denim jacket, and the girl was dressed in the same style. One was densely black and the other was fluttering red. After walking out of the house a few steps, the older one stepped on a mountain bike.

Hannah rode on the back seat and smiled, "Hehe, Oscar, when you take the driver's license tomorrow, this bicycle will be completely mine."

"Look at you for a long time!" Oscar grinned, and Ding Ling started and headed towards the city: "When I really leaned on my driver's license, you must be the life of my co-pilot. I don't want to ride my BMW, ride my bicycle and follow me. What's that matter!"

"Oh, Oscar, have you decided?" Hannah rode in the back seat and was relaxed: "Do you want to buy a little BMW?"

The mountain bikes were fast, and Oscar was not in a hurry to answer his sister's questions. The Smiths and his wife on the No. 11 opposite were both returning. A BMW and a Mercedes-Benz drove towards their British villa with a rumbling sound.

"If you really want to buy a car, it may be a bit troublesome." Oscar frowned. Thinking of the area of ​​his own parking lot, he couldn't help but say: "There is a Cadillac at home. My sister's Bugatti is now parked in the UK, but after I come back, I will definitely take up another place. I will buy a car next year, and then you can't stop at home."

It is true. Of course, my family knows how large the home is. The Wang family did not build a super large mansion like Roger Lawrence, which can hold large parties. For House No. 15, parking four cars is a huge burden.

Even if you can barely let go, the visual depression is a very annoying thing.

"Then drive Alice out of the house!" Hannah shouted in the back seat: "When she graduates from Eton, she will be an eighteen-year-old woman! Let her live outside by herself, we won't welcome her!"

The mountain bike has entered the city and is heading towards the destination of the brother and sister. Oscar laughed to the sky, and the old girl's proposal is so popular.

"I think my sister will definitely think so, but she complained more than once that she was delaying her work at school. Hannah, do you believe it or not she doesn't plan to take the college entrance exam?"

"I really believe this~"

The city is bustling with pedestrians, Hannah rides behind her brother and looks at the sidewalk. Halloween is approaching, and she starts to buy all kinds of quirky props and costumes in the store windows.

"It was another four years since I went to college. It was too late for President Stanford to hire her as a computer professor. She went to be a college student in person? Alice couldn't be so useless... Oh, be careful to turn!"

With a creaking sound, Oscar parked his car in front of his destination.

The Emilia Bookstore is now overcrowded again today, but the reason is that Alice's new book promotion officially began today.

Just as the sisters got out of the car, they heard a young man in front complaining: "It was agreed to open the door at 8:30, but it was really stuck at 8:30. Can't these bastards let us in earlier?"

The brother and sister smiled at each other, but they were not in a hurry, but there were quite a few customers with similar ideas.

"I am a die-hard fan of Alice Wang, everyone is optimistic!"

A tall and thin college young man showed a small notebook, which was densely covered with shiny things.

"The first edition of "Jurassic Park", English, Japanese version of the first commemorative card! The first edition of "Blood Fairy Tale", English, Swedish version of the first commemorative card! The Japanese version of "After School", English, English version of the first commemorative card! Are you seeing all these? The ticket stub for the premiere of "Ghost Records"! "Alien Two"..."

It really makes people shout, God, because Hannah has done this, it's so interesting. They actually met my sister's die-hard fans in front of the bookstore?

"Hehehe, you're just about entertainment. I'm an encyclopedia here!"

The result was very good, and the funny conference started. A short and fat young man who was dissatisfied said loudly: "Have you ever bought Alice's router? Have you ever bought Alice's winodows system? Have you ever been to Alice's shopping building in Ginza, Japan? These are the things that die-hard fans should really do!"

The tall and thin young man was stunned for a moment: "What? Alice has a shopping mall in Ginza? Are they true or false? Why don't I know?"

This sentence immediately attracted the laughter of many people around, and the two brothers and sisters of the Wang family were staring at each other in a daze.

"Even Alice has invested in real estate in Japan, you have the nerve to say that she is a big fan of her?" This is a suited office worker in her early thirties.

"Haha~ I'm outdated, guys, I'm afraid you don't know it yet. British newspapers and morning newspapers have been many times. Do you know Alice's new round of movements in the UK?" This is a 25 or 26-year-old science and engineering college student. You can tell by looking at his nerd dress.

"I really admire her. She is only over sixteen years old this year. If it were my daughter..." This is a middle-aged man in his forties.

Hannah patted Oscar on the shoulder: "Brother, is this the so-called darkness under the light? No matter how famous a person is, if he treats her as someone around him, his perspective will inevitably be special?"

Oscar squinted his eyes at the middle-aged man who lamented that his sister was not his daughter: "A group of lovers of "Lolita"! Damn, by the way, my sister also loves to watch "Lolita", what's that??"

It doesn’t matter what it is, because it finally arrived at 8:30, and the customers who had been waiting for a long time immediately entered the bookstore. Of course, as one of the largest bookstores in Los Angeles, it has many new books on the market every month, but the crowds present did not come for the best-selling books, and they all rushed to the new book promotion area.

"Harry Potter and the Magic Stone!" The middle-aged man in his forties looked at Turnipao: "A child magic with a plan of 500,000 words! Haha, it's really Alice, who wants to write such a powerful long story!"

Yes, this year is the first day of the promotion of Alice's new book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Although according to the official claims of the Bantam, the writer herself has only written two-thirds of the full text at present, but that is also called nearly 400,000 words. It is not easy to take a little bit of the content and then make a trial booklet to the public?

"But is this cover a bit...too abstract?" A woman, who is a mother-aged woman, led her daughter to stand in front of the poster with the cover of the book cover: "He is Harry Potter? She doesn't look very good."

The content of the cover of the book cover is undoubtedly a boy with eyes riding a broomstick, walking through a porch from top to bottom, and trying to catch a small golden ball next to it.

"But the flying broom!" My daughter was eight years old and shouted very happily: "Harry is a little wizard, he can fly!"

At this new book promotion meeting today, many of the readers present were the age of primary school students, and there were chattering sounds everywhere, making the scene feel like they were returning to the elementary school classroom.

"Boy who survived the disaster! Ha! The young man is so lucky!" This was a twelve-year-old boy holding the first page of the trial book and screaming, scaring the girl next to him with the flying broom.

"Jamie? Speak softly, don't yell. Didn't you scare that little sister? Go and apologize!" So his mother came over immediately.

"Oh hey girl," the boy said to the girl: "Did you look at the first chapter? Do you know why this kid can survive the disaster? Wow! Look at this illustration, he is still a baby! The kid is so powerful, he has a magic shield on his body?"

"Well... that..." The girl touched her forehead: "I haven't read a book yet, but he can fly on a broom, so powerful..."

"What!? Broom!? Can fly!? Where!?"

In this way, a boy and a girl had a conversation in a corner of the bookstore, and seeing that they were getting more and more enthusiastic as they talked, it seemed that they could quickly exchange phone numbers.

"Good guy, I didn't think it was just now, why are there more and more people now?" Oscar began to feel unhappy. After all, he is already an adult who is about to take the driver's license. There are a lot of naughty kids of elementary school age around him, and the sounds of parents shouting, so I can't make noise anymore!

"Isn't this very good?" In this moment, Hannah had received two trial booklets and happily gave her brother one: "Mom often tells us that women and children are the best money to make. A fantasy novel like this kind of child-oriented should be a bedtime reading for many people? My sister is fully stimulating market demand."

"Oh, my name is Jamie, Jamie Hawk!" At the same time, the boy was indeed about to arrive at the girl's number: "This is our number. Oh, do you want to see who reads faster?"

With a long whistle, Oscar witnessed this scene: "Awesome, what's the point of saying this kid? Is it a perfect score in picking up girls?"

Hannah stood aside and smiled softly: "It seems that I need to urge Vivi to tell her to publish the book soon~"
