A few days after the release of White Night, its sales figures were steadily rising due to pre-order readers' recommendations and Yang Yi's fan group's internal dissemination.
However, it was worth mentioning that on the Sahara Online Mall's review page, it could be seen that the book was not a novel that everyone loved. The reviews were very polarized. Some gave it a very high rating. For example, many people sighed at Yang Yi's imagination and praised that the book would be a great work of mystery fiction!
Others said that they could not read it at all because the book was too dark. The male and female protagonists were actually a little anti-social and anti-human.
That was indeed the case. However, even the buyers who said that they could not read it rarely gave the book a low score. They still praised Yang Yi's "writing skills" and narrative ability.
Not liking it was just a matter of personal preference. They did not deny the excellence of the book!
Therefore, although the influence of the book had not yet been brewed, its Sahara rating was already high. It was not worse than the two popular works, Soldiers Assault and Drawing Sword!
However, today, Sahara Publishing's deputy editor, Lu Benjie, called Yang Yi. He did not talk about sales and reviews. Instead, he gave Yang Yi feedback on the recent readers' letters, saying that many readers hoped that Yang Yi would hold a signing event. The readers' curiosity about Yang Yi was bursting!
"I'm not holding a signing event. This is all an old matter. I don't like to show my face in public." Yang Yi still refused.
Lu Benjie was not very surprised. He had long known that Yang Yi would say that. Then, he talked about the new initiatives of the publishing house.
Yang Yi had neglected to take care of his fan group before, so the current fan group was in a scattered state. This was actually a huge waste of resources.
Now that Sahara Publishing was fully responsible for Yang Yi's literary affairs, they decided to help him integrate his fans and form an official fan group in place of Yang Yi. In other words, they would open a separate communication community for Yang Yi, similar to Tieba, to gather people and discuss Yang Yi's works or related issues here. This way, if Yang Yi released a new book in the future, it could also be promoted together.
"That's a good idea! What do you need me to do? "Yang Yi agreed.
"Boss, we need you to take some time to interact with netizens in this communication community. Then, we will organize some activities. We may need you to provide some signed books, signed photos, and other rewards as support," Lu Benjie said.
"Signed books are fine, but signed photos are out of the question," Yang Yi said, somewhat dumbfounded. "I'm not a little girl. why would I ask for autographed photos?"
This matter was settled just like that.
After Yang Yi put away his phone, he smiled at Lanzhou Kai in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Lan."
Today, Yang Yi was called out by Lanzhou Kai. The two of them were going to take a look at the fitness center where Chen Shiyun's father, Chen Guoqiang, was at.
Last time, after climbing down the mountain, Lanzhou Kai asked Chen Guoqiang what kind of fitness method a fat person like him should choose to choose if he wanted to lose weight and maintain his health.
Chen Guoqiang recommended boxing to Lanzhou Kai. It was not that he wanted to boast, but boxing had indeed become the first choice of fitness for many rich people.
This was because if it was a non-competitive type of boxing, it was not as scary as everyone thought. Practicing boxing could not only increase one's strength and improve one's reflexes, it could also promote the overall healthy development of the body!
One had to know that boxing was a sport that required the use of both hands and feet, as well as the use of the whole body and the use of the brain. It was far more muscular than running, bench pressing, and other sports. Furthermore, unlike yoga and dance, which were more feminine, boxing was very manly!
Therefore, Lanzhou Kai's interest was piqued. He took some time out today to try out a boxing class.
However, it would be too boring to play alone, so Lanzhou Kai dragged his good friend, Yang Yi, along.
Because they were sitting in Lanzhou Kai's luxury car, everything Yang Yi said was heard by Lanzhou Kai. Lanzhou Kai gave a different opinion about Yang Yi's attitude.
"Little Brother Yang! I think your attitude of not wanting to show your face in public is wrong! " Lanzhou Kai poured a cup of iced yogurt drink for Yang Yi. These were all placed in the fridge of his luxury car. The back of the extended luxury car was like a small private room. Lanzhou Kai's fridge also had red wine and imported wine, but it was inconvenient to drink these today.
"What do you mean?"
"Your wife is a big star, right? Although your relationship has not been made public, paper cannot cover the fire. There will be a day when the reporters will expose it. If you don't increase your fame now, when the public finds out, they will definitely think that you are living off a woman and not worthy of your wife! "Lanzhou Kai and Yang Yi were straightforward and said without hiding anything.
"As long as two people have a deep relationship, they will not be affected by public opinion!" Yang Yi said confidently. "Moreover, we know our own situation. Why do we have to cater to the public's opinion?"
"People are social animals. You live in this society, so it's impossible not to be affected. It's fine if a man is strong and a woman is weak, but if a man is weak and a woman is strong, men will always be laughed at. I don't know about Murphy, but when the time comes, I'm afraid you will be the first to suffer! "Lanzhou Kai also saw Yang Yi as a brother, which was why he nagged so much.
"Alright, alright! Big Brother Lan, I will seriously consider it and think of a way to solve it. " Yang Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We're almost there. We should get ready to get off. What's the point of talking about this?"
Lanzhou Kai did not know about Yang Yi's real situation, but Yang Yi himself knew!
He was Mu Zi-ang, a famous author, a big boss with a net worth in the hundreds of millions, and a transmigrator reborn. What man is weak and woman is strong? It doesn't exist!
The fitness center that Chen Guoqiang worked at was located in the bustling area of Tingshan District. Not only was it very close to the luxurious area where Lanzhou Kai and the others lived, but it was also very close to several large buildings in Tingshan District. It specialized in the business of the rich!
Therefore, the scale of this fitness center was also very large. It had rented the second to sixth floors of a large building. Whether it was the normal fitness area or the areas for individual activities such as dance, yoga, and boxing, they all had their own separate floors.
Chen Guoqiang came down to welcome them. He brought Lanzhou Kai and Yang Yi, as well as Lanzhou Kai's bodyguards, up to the boxing gym on the sixth floor.
The entire floor was clear at a glance. There were no partitions, only fully equipped boxing rings. There were also some punching bags and pear balls for individual practice, as well as some simple back and arm training equipment.
The main thing was still the boxing ring. There were many boxing trainers in the boxing gym, and the customers here were all people who could afford one-on-one private trainers. They trained directly on the boxing ring with the trainers.
"Not bad!" Lanzhou Kai looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
Yang Yi glanced at him and laughed in his heart.
This guy probably saw that the equipment here was relatively new, so he made this judgment. After all, he was a visual animal.
Yang Yi was more observant. He took a few glances and could see that the boxing trainers here were of different standards. Some were like Chen Guoqiang, who had some real skills and had participated in competitions. Some were probably rookies who had trained with trainers for two years, or had been sparring partners for others, and then applied to be trainers.
Of course, in normal teaching, the average person would not be able to tell the difference in their standards, and they would not show the students actual combat!
