Chapter 840 - 207: Shang Wanjun’s New Book Signing Event (2)

Now that Shang Wanjun’s second book has been published, this bookstore has secured the exclusive sales rights for the book in Jiangdu.

This means that anyone in Jiangdu wanting to buy Shang Wanjun’s second book will have to come to this bookstore or its other branches in Jiangdu.

At nine-thirty in the morning, the book signing event officially began.

This kind of book signing event is basically where the organizer sets up a stage, a group of very loyal fans come, and of course, some are just there to join in the fun.

Overall, there won’t be too many people.

And since Shang Wanjun is just emerging, naturally there won’t be too many fans.

The majority of people don’t really care about book signings; they’re just there to read books, not chase stars.

However, Shang Wanjun was soon going to be famous, really famous.

She’s quite special.

She’s very tall and beautiful, and this kind of presence, no matter the industry, field, or even country, will always receive preferential treatment. People are naturally very interested.

"Beauty is justice" isn’t an empty phrase.

"Who’s that gorgeous woman?"

"It’s written on the sign, isn’t it? A writer named Shang Wanjun!"

"Wow, she’s this beautiful? Can writers be this pretty? And she doesn’t even need glasses?"

"Maybe she wears contact lenses, but she’s really stunning to be this gorgeous."

Writers, or most professionals for that matter, aren’t usually good-looking. Even those who are a bit more attractive are rare, and they’re just slightly attractive at best. It’s rare to encounter someone drop-dead gorgeous.

Truly beautiful women seldom enter non-lucrative professions.

After all, unlike actors or finance professionals, only places where money and resources are concentrated have lots of beautiful women, and they’re real beauties. Women tend to follow money, especially pretty ones. It’s a key cycle in society.

But now, Shang Wanjun sits as a writer, right at the center of the book signing table.

She’s smiling, but her makeup is aggressive, her beauty tremendous, and she looks like she’s in her twenties.

Both her fans and the people browsing the bookstore were stunned.

"What book is being released?"

"This book is called ’Displacement,’ and it seems to be about a teacher-student romance."

"Teacher-student romance, it’s that bold?"

"And it’s about a female teacher and a male student."

"I have to check this out!"

"Let’s go buy a copy and get it signed!"

Seeing how beautiful Shang Wanjun is, many passersby were drawn over.

As for Shang Wanjun’s fans, there’s no need to mention them.

Most of them were young, and they knew Shang Wanjun was a woman, but they never imagined she’d be this attractive.

"Are you really Shang Wanjun, the teacher?"

A female fan asked excitedly. She was a first-year university student, still carrying the innocence of high school, wearing glasses, and unaware of makeup, and she still carried her high school backpack.

"Of course!"

Shang Wanjun smiled and said, "Let me sign for you, thank you for supporting my work!"

"Oh, oh, thank you, teacher!"

"Are you still a student? Where do you study?"

"Teacher, I’m at Finance University!"

"What a coincidence, I was a freshman advisor at the Finance University School of Economics and Trade earlier this year, but now I’m pursuing my doctorate."

"Oh! What a coincidence? Teacher, where are you studying for your doctorate?"

"Fuda University, studying theoretical physics."

"Wow! Teacher, you’re studying physics? And at Fuda University?"

The girl exclaimed. Actually, there was no need for her to exclaim, as everyone around could hear her conversation with Shang Wanjun.

This beautiful writer Shang Wanjun is actually pursuing a Ph.D. at a top university.

?

What kind of genius is this?

And she’s studying physics, yet she’s a writer?

The range is just too vast!

People instinctively feel that writers are often in the humanities, like someone studying Chinese literature or language, which makes sense. It’s the so-called specialization in one’s field.

But no one expected Shang Wanjun to be pursuing a Ph.D. in theoretical physics at Fuda University.

Moreover, theoretical physics at Fuda University is a nationally recognized second-tier key discipline.

All of a sudden, people looked at Shang Wanjun with a sense of reverence.

Related to fields like mathematics and physics, whether you admire or not, you can’t deny the respect. In humanities, you might slack off, but in science, you must be grounded.

Watching the crowd’s exclamations.

Xu Lin glanced at Shang Wanjun, and she seemed to sense something, glancing back at him.

Xu Lin was just reading from a distance.

This signing event of Shang Wanjun’s was to last three hours, quite long, so Xu Lin decided to read there.

In three hours, he could read many books.

Following a mental enhancement, his reading speed became even faster; his ’extraordinary memory’ evolved into photographic memory, coupled with rapid critical thinking, meaning he only needs a glance to know what a page says.

Moreover, he could multi-task fourfold, if only he had four hands. Otherwise, he’d read four books at once.

Currently, he could quickly skim through two books at once.

And in three to four seconds, he could flip through two books together.

Thus, after three hours, he had gone through eighty books.

In theory, he could go through six to seven hundred books in three hours, deducting time spent finding books and other wasted moments. Xu Lin could easily cover four to five hundred books.

But that seemed pointless.

Later, Xu Lin slowed down.

He felt the joy of reading was lost, so in the end, Xu Lin just read eighty books.
