Su Wen hadn’t yet discovered Professor Su Xuewen’s ident.i.ty, so she didn’t bring it up. After a while, they were all heading to their rooms for the night, agreeing to stay in touch despite their busy schedules. The next morning, they parted ways after breakfast.
Today was Su Wen’s signing event. After bidding farewell to her companions, she freshened up with light makeup and changed into a new outfit before heading straight to the venue.
Upon arrival, Su Wen found Zhou Yan already there, personally overseeing the setup. The venue was adorned with mountains of books for sale, arranged neatly for autographing. Across from them stood a large poster and a row of tables and chairs, meticulously prepared with red tablecloths, flower name tags, and a red carpet, complete with a sound system.
It was evident that great care had gone into the arrangements.
In this era, book signings were still in their infancy, and the publishing house had spared no effort to ensure the event’s success. Su Wen provided valuable input, including early publicity, event logistics, and collaboration with media outlets and magazine agencies.
A week prior, a notice had been published in the newspaper, drawing a sizable crowd to the building’s entrance before opening hours.
Su Wen discreetly entered through the staff entrance at the back.
“Wenwen!” Zhou Yan’s enthusiastic greeting drew all eyes to Su Wen. Fortunately, Su Wen had already experienced the rapid development of media and the internet, having seen plenty of blinding flashes and microphones almost shoved into mouths. Being the centre of attention with so many eyes on her didn’t faze her in the slightest.
Unfazed by the sudden attention, Su Wen gracefully reciprocated the greeting and made her way over to Zhou Yan.
As Su Wen departed, the stunned staff gradually regained their composure. It took nearly a minute for them to snap out of it, followed by hushed gasps and sighs of admiration. Su Wen could keenly feel the intense gazes behind her, which made her feel a bit awkward.
Was the reaction too strong?
Zhou Yan, still in awe, showered Su Wen with compliments, jokingly lamenting her lack of comparative beauty.
“Wenwen, you look stunning today. Oh my G.o.d! I’ve fallen in love with you,” Zhou Yan exclaimed, resembling an enthusiastic fangirl with her hands clasped in front of her chest, her gaze fixed on Su Wen. “You’re so beautiful. You’re already breathtaking as it is, but seeing you looking even more gorgeous today, how am I supposed to go on with my life?” she said.
Su Wen chuckled, downplaying her appearance, but Zhou Yan persisted, praising her beauty and enviable partnership with Zhou Yan’s nephew.
“I mean it,” Zhou Yan whispered, shooting a subtle wink in Su Wen’s direction. “Everyone’s completely awestruck. They’ve probably never seen an author so breathtaking. You not only have talent but also radiate beauty, possess a fantastic figure, and carry yourself with such grace. Oh my G.o.d! I envy you.”
“Normally, you’re already a nine out of ten. But with today’s makeup, you’ve gained an extra three points. So, on a scale of ten, I’d give you twelve.”
Despite the diversion, Zhou Yan managed to steer the conversation back on track.
“Why are you here so early? There’s still more than an hour before it starts!” she asked.
