Chapter 56: I’ll Teach those who Dare to make the Princess Angry a Lesson
After she spoke out, the entire room gasped.
Because Ci Feng only published a limited number of books every single time, there was always far more demand than supply.
Normal people cannot even get themselves a copy of the unsigned ones.
Only the rich like Luo Chen, who has both a wealthy background, dare to want a signed copy. Even then, it wasn’t a guarantee that he would be able to get one.
Yet Qiao Nian was saying she could get her hands on 2 to 3 copies!
Now that Qiao Nian herself has declared this, everyone turned crazier.
“I want one!”
“I want to pre-order one!”
“I will pay 10 times the original price for one!”
“Get out of here! I will pay 100 times the original price!”
...
Qiao Nian, who was being coddled left and right, looked as calm as ever. It was because she was so calm, she stood out amongst the others.
Her gaze unintentionally landed on Luo Chen and Jiang Yi – the two most popular boys with the wealthiest background.
It seemed like she was waiting for these two to start a bidding war.
Lou Chen gave Qiao Nian a look, then looked back at Qiao Qing. He rubbed his nose and gently coughed.
Then, he said, “Qingqing, don’t worry, I will always be your knight in s.h.i.+ning armor! I will never cave to a person with a bad heart! There is always the possibility of me getting my hand on a copy myself, right?”
Qiao Qing looked up and gave him a look. Though he was speaking those words, his face seemed to have the words “I want it, I want it” all over it.
She lowered her head and took out her cellphone. After she pinpointed Sun Jing’s WeChat, she sent, “you there?”
Sun Jing and her a.s.sistants were waiting at the airport so she immediately responded, “My princess, what can I do for you (?▽?)?”
Qiao Qing, “Do you know Qian Nian?”
Sun Jing, “No. But her name sounds similar to yours. Is she your relative?”
Qiao Qing, “My younger cousin.”
Sun Jing was getting ready to board so Qiao Qing messaged again, “You know her aunt?”
Sun Jing, “Who’s her aunt?”
Qiao Qing, “I forgot.”
Sun Jing, “...”
Sun Jing, “What are you implying, princess?”
Qiao Qing hit the green b.u.t.ton on her smart.w.a.tch, and everything Qiao Nian had said just now was sent to Sun Jing in a voice message form.
Then, Qiao Qing typed, “I don’t want this person to read my book. Understand?”
Sun Jing, “So that is the legendary type of people who are nice on the outside but b.i.t.c.hy on the inside. She dared to make you, the princess angry? I will teach her a lesson!”
“Who cares who her aunt is? Whoever tries to get your book through the backdoor for their nieces, or even their own daughter, I will ignore!”
“Signed copy? I will not give out even the unsigned copy! Princess, what do you think? (?▽?)”
Qiao Qing’s lips curled up and sent a “nod” emoji.
Sun Jing quickly sent back an emoji that looked like her seeking praise.
Qiao Qing silently shoved her cell back into the drawer.
For the entire first afternoon cla.s.s, no student was in the mood to listen to the teacher.
First, they were all making sure their cell phones were charged.
Second, they were all making sure they had data to access the internet.
Third, they were all making sure that they could go onto the book’s website.
After this was all done, they waited for the arrival of 13:30.
Of course, Qiao Qing was an exception.
It was strange, however, that even the teacher, Yang Lianfeng, was not giving a hard time to the students who weren’t listening.
When 13:20 hit, even Yang Lianfeng threw down his book.
“We are going to get off cla.s.s early. Don’t tell anyone and don’t get out of this cla.s.sroom and disturb other cla.s.ses. Do you understand? If you make enough noise to alert the princ.i.p.al, then you won’t get this benefit ever again in the future!”
Someone even dared to ask, “Bro Yang, are you planning on getting a copy of Feng Ci’s book?”
That person even had an expression that said, “You don’t need to try and lie your way out of this, we wouldn’t believe your excuses”.
Other students all joined in on this, “Wow~ you are using the excuse of letting us off earlier for your own benefit!”
