Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Fashion Pa.s.sion Changes Hands
There was something no one mentioned, but everyone secretly agreed on, and that was carrying such a beautiful and expensive bag to the office would definitely make a big splash. It would make the pretend innocent and the deceptive ones green with envy, jealous and resentful, and thinking about it, spending a lot of money was totally worth it.
Oh? So, did Su Wen launch the promotional poster and new book together just to keep them from being bullied and mocked by the pretentious innocents and deceivers?
That seemed quite logical, and now they wanted to buy the bag even more.
“If it’s expensive, I can’t afford it.”
“I… I’ll go home and tell my mother, I can’t afford it but she definitely can. She even mentioned buying a new bag last time! When she buys it, she can just get one for me too!”
“Makes sense.”
Therefore, everyone decided together to go home and persuade their mothers to buy the bag and have their fathers pay for it. Those who had a significant other would get them to buy the bag, after all, if they loved them, they should buy them a bag.

At the same time, in major bookstores in the Capital, a similar scenario was unfolding.
Due to the previous incident of being pulled from the shelves, Zhou Yan was furious, and while many knew Song Zishan was not to be taken lightly, neither was Zhou Yan. This time, to smooth things over with Zhou Yan, every bookstore placed Su Wen’s new book in the most prominent position.
Many were ready to do whatever it took to promote it, but they soon realized it wasn’t necessary.
The book sold like hotcakes upon launch, just like Su Wen’s previous book, “Sc.u.mbag’s Handbook”, and even attracted more attention this time because of the stunningly beautiful poster added to it.
The content did not disappoint either. The sharp, spicy language, combined with humorous but realistic errors, voiced issues that many had encountered but could not express.
Both men and women loved it.
The store clerks didn’t even need to recommend it.
Compared to Song Zishan’s prose, Su Wen’s new book sales were simply in a different league, decisively outperforming her.
With the new book’s bestselling success, the poster inside became a hot topic of conversation for everyone.
Whether it was Dong Na, Xu Junfeng, or the Su family brand, along with the feature bag model, all became the latest buzz, and they became instant sensations overnight.
Song Zishan knew about the news at the earliest time, and even if she didn’t want to know, someone intent on informing her would pa.s.s the message along.
Hearing that Su Wen had released a new book even more popular than the last one, Song Zishan was so upset she nearly burst a blood vessel.
Even her recently acquired good mood from purchasing Ai Shang magazine was gone.
Especially given that she had already published, this comparison made her the b.u.t.t of the joke.
Because she needed to maintain her image, Song Zishan bottled up the anger in front of others, at a time when the Capital’s circles were already buzzing with gossip about her.
She had to stay in control.
In the past, everyone praised her to the skies when mentioning her name, saying nothing but good things, never a negative rumor.
It was all Su Wen’s fault.
Ever since she came into the picture, she had made herself grow more and more impatient.
“Jianan, take a day off tomorrow, and come with me to Province,” she commanded.
Lu Jianan nodded upon hearing this, “Okay, now that you own Ai Shang magazine, it makes sense to fully take over there.”
For the past month, the two had been busy with acquiring Ai Shang magazine. Chief Editor Xia was not an easy character to handle, initially refusing outright, and it took considerable effort for them to seal the deal.
Having been busy for so long, they were just about to take a few days off before taking over Ai Shang. But since Zishan was in a hurry, it was right to take over as soon as possible.
