Chapter 441 Boss Shen’s Second Moment of Collapse
"Good book, really good book."
"It's so touching! Do you remember what Qiuqiu said while holding S's hand at the end? As expected of Qiuqiu, I yearn for love, but I love freedom even more. I would rather die free than to be bound. This is a great job. I have written down this passage and will take it back to open a new book."
"S is also very into the play. Did you notice that the way S looked at Qiuqiu at the end was desolate in despair? He was so reluctant to let go, but he was still so stubborn. It was like Jiajia had come into reality!"
"Not only the pairing of Qiuqiu and S is very effective, but childhood sweethearts and happy friends are also quite sweet. Especially the female character book of happy friends, the family line in this book is so heavy. I thought it would cost so much at first It’s hard to describe the process of getting along with my parents with pen and ink, but I didn’t expect that it was really just a time of happiness with my relatives.”
"That's good. Nowadays, one or two relatives can't seem to highlight the family affection. It's great to have a happy family and happy love."
"Wouldn't it be a bit peaceful for the couple who are not dead to be happy enemies?"
"No, it's a great experience following the whole process."
"My childhood sweetheart experience was also pretty good."
"Me too."
""We Meet Again" will definitely be a hit. In all these years, I have never seen such a good book at an exhibition!"
"It must be a fire, okay, this is not a fire, and God cannot tolerate it!"
"Galaxy Script Club yyds!"
"Mr. x, who is the other author? Forget it, Mr. x yyds!"
"Ah, I'm so hungry. I haven't even eaten lunch. Are there any small stir-fry restaurants open at this time? I want to eat some hot dishes."
"The stir-fry shops should be open during the day. Let's order takeout. It's 4:37 now and "The Class Reunion Murders" starts at 6 o'clock. Takeout can be delivered."
"Ah, you actually grabbed the ob-spot (spectator) for "The Class Reunion Murders" tonight!"
"Hey, didn't you grab it?"
After the first test of "Meet Again" at the exhibition, the onlookers did not stay in the room.
Because Jiang Jun sent everyone the corresponding character itself, in a sense, the more than 20 stores that were watching could be regarded as playing half of the book and spent a lot of energy. In addition, I couldn't sit comfortably, and after a few hours I was very tired and needed to find a place to rest and have something to eat.
More than half of these 20 stores are going to watch "The Class Reunion Murders". Time is tight. Even if someone wants to chat with Jiang Jun, now is not a good time. Soon everyone in the room disperses. It's almost done.
The onlookers from the store dispersed, but those who were playing with their books did not.
These six people want to seamlessly continue playing "Class Reunion Murders" at 6 o'clock. They order takeout and eat in the hotel room. After eating, they can continue playing the book without leaving.
.
Boss Shen sat expressionlessly in his seat, his empty eyes revealed that he wanted to die. He stared directly at the opposite person and started stuffing the character book into his bag. His eyes were obviously swollen from crying. Feng Zhiqiu wiped away her tears as soon as the show was over and acted like a normal person.
Boss Shen looked at Feng Zhiqiu with only one thought in his mind.
Aren't you embarrassed?
You held my hand and said goodbye to me 10 minutes ago. You have to treat me well, Jiajia. Now you calmly take out the small dressing mirror and apply mascara.
Are you really not embarrassed at all?
Are all of you emotional players so emotionally strong?
Boss Shen felt that he was dying of embarrassment. He had never been so restless in his life, with a ray of light on his back and a lump in his throat.
Boss Shen only felt that there was a villain roaring deep in his heart.
Why is it that Feng Zhiqiu is the one holding her hand and crying, Feng Zhiqiu is the one acting in the painful love scene, and it is Feng Zhiqiu who is saying the parallel sentences, but now it is herself who is embarrassed.
What is happening to this world?
"Boss Jiang, is it okay if I take my character book with me?" Feng Zhiqiu, who adheres to the philosophy that as long as I am not embarrassed, it will be others who are embarrassed, ignoring Boss Shen's empty eyes and asked Jiang Jun with a smile.
Jiang Jun was replying to the WeChat message and nodded with a smile: "Of course, if you like Qiuqiu, you can take all the character books with you."
Anyway, these character books are all bound into volumes on A4 paper. You can go to a printing shop and spend 20 yuan to print a bunch of them.
"Poppy poppies, do you have any eye shadow in your bag? I just took a look and it seems like I'm done with the eye makeup." Feng Zhiqiu asked another big shop owner at the same table.
The beautiful girl with the stage name Poppy hurriedly rummaged through her bag and found a plate of earth-colored eye shadow and handed it to Feng Zhiqiu.
Feng Zhiqiu took the eyeshadow palette, held up a small mirror, and began to touch up her eyelids.
Boss Shen:......
Just when Boss Shen was thinking about whether he should go out and hide for an hour, Li Liang, who had been sitting in the corner growing mushrooms as a backdrop, gave Boss Shen and others a bookmark.
How could a sentimental book produced by a boss who likes selling peripherals so much like Jiang Qi not have peripherals? Emotions are the type that are best exposed to surroundings.
The surroundings of "Meet Again" are bookmarks, and each character corresponds to a bookmark.
It's not the kind of paper that will break if you fold it casually. A cheap bookmark that costs no more than a dime. All kinds of peripherals in the amusement park are selling like crazy. Jiang Qi has a lot of long-term cooperation manufacturers specializing in the production of various peripherals. Such good conditions are not in vain, so the quality of the bookmarks of "Meet Again" is very good.
Made of bamboo and carved, the words on each bookmark are engraved on it. The fonts of the six types of bookmarks are different, and each font corresponds to the personality of the character.
"I want to be the wind of freedom." Feng Zhiqiu read out the words on the bookmark, and her eyes narrowed with joy. She didn't care that her eye shadow had not been finished yet, and turned to look at Jiang Qi.
"Boss Jiang, this set of bookmarks of yours shouldn't come with this book, right?"
"Of course not." Jiang Qi said, "It's a limited edition for the exhibition."
If this type of peripherals were not limited edition, they would end up being worthless.
"During the exhibition, as long as you place an order for "Meet Again" and submit a review of more than 100 words, a set will be given as a gift." Jiang Jun explained with a smile, "Limited to 1,000 sets."
"Not selling?" Boss Li was a little surprised.
"Not for sale."
Jiang Qi decided that the limited edition bookmarks of "Meet Again" will not be sold.
In Jiang Qi's opinion, not many people really use bookmarks these days. Most of the bookmarks are peripherals and are used for collection. But because the bookmark itself is not a valuable thing, even if it is a carved bamboo stick like this again, the cost will not be much higher.
Even if players get a peripheral bookmark of a script, they won’t cherish it too much. They will most likely just throw it into a drawer. If you remember it, take a look, but if you don't remember it, just let it lie quietly in the corner of the drawer, moldy and rotten.
You might be able to make a little money by selling bookmarks, but for Jiang Qi, this is no longer necessary.
It is better to make it a limited edition, increase the value of the bookmark, and make participating stores more willing to write reviews as publicity.
Feng Zhiqiu continued to touch up her makeup calmly.
"Old Shen, has your assistant ordered takeout for you? What are you eating today? Fried chicken, spicy hotpot, or noodles? There should be no stir-fried takeout at this time." Feng Zhiqiu finished applying eyeshadow and then applied it again I put on my lipstick and finally pursed my lips twice in front of the mirror. I was very satisfied with today's touch-up and put away the mirror happily.
Boss Shen: "... Malatang."
"You can't eat Malatang all the time. I feel like you eat Malatang every year at the exhibition. Some stores in BJ add sesame sauce to the Malatang. I really can't get used to that stuff. Do you want to eat hot pot at the end of the night? ? I have two new college students working part-time in my store. I can let them lend me their college student discounts."
"……Can."
"Have you not acted yet? Why are you always spouting out a few words when you speak?"
Boss Shen:? ? ?
I've never been in a show!
At this moment, Feng Zhiqiu's assistant ran in from outside with her takeout bag and put the fried chicken in front of Feng Zhiqiu: "Qiuqiu, I heard that I cried for an hour or two until I couldn't take care of myself. This scene with you Who is the one holding the CP book? A novice?"
Feng Zhiqiu's assistant looked at Xiaobai, the only handsome guy in the room.
Xiaobai smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.
"No, it's S." Feng Zhiqiu opened the takeout bag, "Wow, I ordered so much. Boss Jiang, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat some together?"
Jiang Qi waved his hand: "I just finished breakfast after 10 o'clock, and I'm not hungry yet."
Feng Zhiqiu grabbed a chicken drumstick and ate it. The lipstick she just applied was instantly gone.
"I also heard that Qiuqiu held CP's hand and confessed affectionately, saying..."
Boss Shen suddenly stood up, said "Strange, why hasn't my takeout arrived yet" and ran away.
Don't forget to close the door when you escape.
Everyone in the room except Feng Zhiqiu's assistant and Jiang Cha couldn't help laughing. Feng Zhiqiu, who was holding the chicken leg, almost burped with laughter.
"I didn't expect Shen Daoan to be very tolerant. I thought he would be able to run out of the door while I was putting on my mascara." Feng Zhiqiu said with a smile, "It seems that he has gained a lot of experience under his evil boss. "
Poppy covered her mouth and smiled so much that she almost reached her ears: "S, this is the first time I play emotional notebook with Qiuqiu. I think he was frightened when he played the notebook. But my first time You and Qiuqiu were also stunned when you were playing with me, your eyes were like faucets, tears would pour out as soon as the gate was turned."
Boss Li, who had a bad relationship with Boss Shen, stood up and said something fair: "It's understandable. The fact that a CP player held hands and confessed affectionately is quite explosive no matter which emotional scene it is placed in."
Feng Zhiqiu's assistant was a little belatedly asked: "Qiuqiu, are you trying to trick someone?"
Feng Zhiqiu shrugged: "It's not a joke, at least I was sincere when I was playing. Who is it that Shen Daoan has been acting like a dead man in the past two years? His boss has cheated him. He doesn't learn from good things or bad things. Yes, learn from his boss’s bad habits and deceive others.”
"It's a rare opportunity to punish him, so of course I can't miss it."
Sitting in a row on the small sofa, Jiang Qi, Jiang Cha and Principal Peggy had been watching silently.
"It can be seen that Boss Shen's popularity is really bad." Jiang Qi sighed, "For tonight's show, I have to give Boss Shen Jiajia's private detective book and Feng Zhiqiu the police book."
Jiang Cha bit the straw and didn't quite understand: "Didn't Feng Zhiqiu really act just now? It's just a play, can you cry like that?"
Principal Peggy looked serious: "Xiaocha, you are still too young to have been in love and don't believe in love. Love is so beautiful. If I were here, the person holding the CP book with me would be my third wife who died early. Husband, I can cry like that too.”
"I think when he was killed during the experiment, I cried much more sadly than Xiaoqiu did just now. It makes me sad to think about it now."
"He blew himself up while doing experiments, and also blew up my dragon heart. I spent 200,000 coins to buy the complete dragon heart!"
Jiang Qi:......
It sounds like Principal Peggy you don't really believe in love either.
At 5:59, Boss Shen, who had gone out to get Malatang takeout but had not yet returned, finally prepared himself mentally and returned to the folio room. He sat down in his original position in the afternoon under the watchful eyes of a crowd of onlookers.
Opposite Boss Shen is still Feng Zhiqiu.
After nearly an hour of mental construction, Boss Shen has thought it through.
The emotion of the afternoon was an accident.
Feng Zhiqiu is a well-known faucet. I have never played the emotional game with Feng Zhiqiu. I have too little experience in playing the emotional game to experience such a sociopathic few hours.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very normal for one or two people with low tear point to burst into tears.
In addition, Feng Zhiqiu's part was indeed very tragic, and she was the only one who died in the whole scene. It is not impossible to understand that Feng Zhiqiu was too involved in the drama.
And it can be seen from everyone's reaction after the book ended, no one felt anything wrong, the only one who was embarrassed was myself.
No one felt embarrassed, only himself felt embarrassed. Boss Shen felt that there was something wrong with his mentality. It's because I have no experience and little knowledge. This kind of thing must be a common phenomenon that is rare and strange.
That must be the case!
The emotion of the afternoon was not my home court at all.
Boss Shen sat upright, his eyes full of confidence.
I may not be good at emotions, but tonight's reasoning book must be my home field.
who is he? S! Well-known mystery author!
Boss Shen believes that he is familiar with all kinds of mystery novels from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and is proficient in all kinds of crime-fighting techniques. He has learned from both popular and off-beat mystery novels.
Boss Shen is confident in his ability to play reasoning books.
What configuration is this tonight?
Feng Zhiqiu, an emotional player.
Boss Li, I’m a noob at reasoning.
Poppy, an emotional player + a rookie in reasoning.
Xiaobai, I am weak at reasoning.
Another player who doesn't deserve a name is reasoning about this weakling.
Tonight's reasoning book will definitely be taken by myself!
Boss Shen secretly clenched his fists.
Just wait for me to avenge my shame tonight and carry everyone!
The original DM of "Class Reunion Murder" was Cao Luoping. Cao Luoping didn't know what happened in the afternoon, but he had heard that S and Qiuqiu were too involved in the drama. They hugged each other and cried while playing the book.
Therefore, when sending out the script, Cao Luoping couldn't help but take another look at Boss Shen.
I really didn't expect that Boss Shen, who has such a bad reputation, actually has such a side.
There is something about hugging my head and crying.
The confident Boss Shen opened the script.
Then……
Boss Shen:?
Familiar plot, seems to have seen it somewhere.
"Hey." Feng Zhiqiu exclaimed, "This plot is not..."
Under normal circumstances, an experienced and qualified player will not speak during the game.
Especially mystery books. In some mystery books, because of the way they are told, you can say something casually without any problem in the first two pages. But when you turn to the third page, you will find that it is your secret. If you say it, others will find out that you are. The murderer directly ends the play.
When newbies play the book, the DM will usually remind them not to talk while reading the book.
This is an exhibition bus. In theory, it is impossible to make such fatal novice mistakes in communication during the book opening period.
But today's situation is really a bit special.
None of the 6 people present expected that the emotion book they played in the afternoon, with the exact same plot, would be changed into a mystery book in the evening.
Feng Zhiqiu, who was still a ghost in the afternoon, became a victim in the evening and was the trigger of the entire case.
The first case in "Class Reunion Murder" is the death case of the character Ben Feng Zhiqiu got in the afternoon 10 years ago. This case is not difficult. Even novice players can quickly find out through clues that the deceased committed suicide.
This case is an icebreaker, and its main purpose is to lead to the subsequent plot and pave the way for the murder case at the class reunion.
Because everyone had just finished a love story with all the elements in the afternoon, the icebreaking case was progressing very quickly, and you didn’t even need to know too much about the plot. Who here didn’t know the plot of these three couples.
Feng Zhiqiu's two hours of crying in the afternoon were not in vain.
The case quickly came to focus.
At a class reunion, except for the five suspects, no one survived, including the former teacher.
This is revenge!
After reading the clues he knew so far, Boss Shen felt that he had found some clues and cleared his throat.
It's time to show off your talents!
Before Boss Shen could speak, Poppy took the lead and spoke: "Obviously this is a vendetta. Qiuqiu's death 10 years ago was not suicide at all. Qiuqiu was either forced to death by this group of people, or she was killed by this group of people. .”
"Yes." Boss Li nodded, "The motive for the murder is very clear. We are all Qiuqiu's friends. It is normal to want to avenge Qiuqiu."
Everyone on the field, including most of the onlookers, looked at Boss Shen.
Boss Shen:?
"You are the one who loves Qiuqiu the most among us." Boss Li said quietly.
"Yes, you haven't been in love since Qiuqiu died. You are so affectionate!" Xiaobai nodded.
"Your motive for killing is very obvious." Poppy began to think.
"Yes, you love me so much. If I were killed by those people, you would definitely want to kill them to avenge me." Feng Zhiqiu agreed.
"Come on, share the clues. Let's focus on suspecting S first." Boss Li began to take charge of the overall situation.
Boss Shen:......
Damn it, I’m playing a reasoning book, and you’re still playing an emotional book.
Tired and destroyed.
