Chapter 842 It’s all the night’s fault

It doesn’t really matter whether the pajamas are dry or not.

The key point is that Xiangyang was afraid that he would not be able to control the impulse of desire when he had to set off in the morning.

It's impossible to let Principal An, John Jr., Bea Shaffer, and Macron who came from London wait until 4 pm.

He knows that his wife likes to sleep, and it is enough for her fans to know.

"Where are you going?" Today's breakfast was different from the past. Several people staying in the same hotel sat together and talked and laughed.

But before Liu Xixi finished her bread, Xiangyang had already ordered a takeaway cup of coffee and took Little John with him to go out for a while.

"Go buy something." Xiangyang pursed his lips on impulse.

The interaction between the two of them last night reminded Xiangyang of a novel.

Of course, the relationship between him and Liu Xixi is not like that in the novel, and the interactions between them are also far different from what they do in the novel.

But who told Liu Qianqian to insist on conquering him yesterday?

It brought back his memories.

So he planned to take Little John to the bookstore while Macron was still on the road. As for why he didn't ask Principal An, who knew more about literature?
Who would ask his father-in-law to read this type of novel together?

Moreover, his purpose was not so much to appreciate the content of the novel as to recommend it to little John.

Because of this book, there is a more resounding name that has fascinated countless women.

It is.
"Xiang, are you sure you remembered the title of the book correctly?" Little John scratched his head. The two of them had already walked around this small bookstore several times.

"Fifty Shades of Grey", logically speaking, the name of this book should not be difficult to find.

"That's strange, are you sure you didn't miss it?" Xiang Yang also felt strange. He had the impression that this novel, which was later adapted into a movie and became a huge hit, should have been published.

And to be on the bestseller list, it should be in a prominent position.

"How about we go ask the owner of the bookstore?"

Little John didn't think the problem was with him. He thought it was Xiangyang who got the names mixed up.

"Uh"

Xiangyang, who had not yet revealed the details of the book, grinned.

With my status, isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask the bookstore owner for a novel of this type?

Otherwise, let Little John go.

Seeing his friend raise an eyebrow at him, Little John had a sense of foreboding.

"Come on, let's go outside first." Xiangyang put his arm around his friend's shoulder with a smile, and without saying a word, he pulled little John out of the bookstore.

Of course, when doing embarrassing things, you should find a place where no one is around and do them secretly, so that you can get double the pleasure.

Pooh!
wrong.

He dragged little John out mainly because he was afraid that this guy would make a fool of himself in the bookstore after hearing the content, which would be embarrassing and conspicuous.

How explosive is the content of this book?
Put it this way, the film series grossed nearly $10 billion, making it the fourth-highest-grossing R-rated film series in history.

That's right, even with an R rating, its box office performance is jaw-dropping.

What's more, this novel is also a best-seller.

It's hard to believe that it's actually a fan fiction.

"Puff!" The coffee in his mouth sprayed all over the floor, and Little John stared in amazement at his friend who was smiling at him.

Is this what humans do?
Although best-selling novels all have more or less descriptions of this kind, Little John swore that he would never step into a bookstore again.

I am a director of Hermès and CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company.

I actually went to a bookstore in Liverpool just before Christmas to look for a book like this.
"Xiang, where did you read this novel? Why did you tell me now?" Little John still believed in his friend's judgment.

"I forgot where I glanced at it, and then I forgot about it. It seemed to be on the Internet, or I just flipped through it in a bookstore." Xiangyang explained with gritted teeth. He was not afraid that little John would notice anything.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" is originally a fan fiction of "Twilight", and he can just make up a few random sentences to get away with it.

But to be honest this fan fiction has no literary value.

The whole book from beginning to end is about the word "desire".

Commonly known as, not presentable.

"Let's go, maybe we'll have a chance to see it in the future." Since Little John refused to go in and ask, Xiangyang didn't force it.

He just happened to think of this work and didn't have any extra thoughts on it.

"Xiang, I can ask my friends in the publishing house." Little John suddenly blurted out this sentence when he got in the car with his friends and was on the way back to the hotel.

"Do you have friends in publishing houses?" Xiangyang, who was driving, turned his head curiously.

"Yes." Little John said, of course he did.

This person is not only his "friend", but also Xiangyang's friend.

This time, it was Xiangyang's turn to stare at Little John in amazement.

Karl Lagerfeld has his own publishing house, he knows it, but let’s not make a fuss!
The fact that you asked Karl Lagerfeld's publishing house to help you find this book is ridiculous. What if Karl Lagerfeld takes a look at it out of curiosity?

That.
"Little John, to be honest, I think it would be more practical for you to give it to Elizabeth than what you are thinking now."

"Xiang, you shouldn't embarrass an old man who deserves respect."

"Ok?"

"I'm not saying that Mr. Lafayette is not worthy of respect." Little John realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends.

Of course Xiangyang wouldn't dwell on what he said, as they were just joking.

After chatting for a while about why fan fiction also has a huge market, Xiangyang and Little John returned to the hotel.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Qianqian, Principal An, and Macron who had rushed over, who were already sitting in the lobby ready to leave.

This time when going to the Isle of Man, Xiangyang specifically only asked him to come along in order to make more room for communication for the other three carriage companies.

As soon as they met and exchanged a few words, they prepared to set off.

"Where did you and Little John go?" Liu Qianqian was very confused when she saw Xiangyang coming back empty-handed.

"Just taking a stroll." As little John pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, Xiangyang's tone was very calm, not showing any timidity at all.

"Then I saw you and little John were talking and laughing." Liu Qianqian pouted and said softly.

Wouldn't it be nice to stroll around this city with me?
Still immersed in the touching emotions of last night, she said that she also likes to eat vinegar.

"We were just chatting." Xiangyang laughed and held Liu Qianqian's finger. "When we get to the island, we can go shopping together."

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.

It seems like it is.

Even if you have decided to buy the castle, you still need to take a look at the surrounding environment.

However, their conversation also attracted the attention of Principal An, mainly because after he asked Little John and Xiangyang where they had been, this guy directly replied "bookstore".

Go to the bookstore without him
"Take me with you next time you go to the bookstore. Maybe I can recommend you some good books." Principal An said:

"What? Didn't you buy the book you liked?"

"Dad, the book we are looking for is different from what you like." Xiangyang glared at little John who couldn't control his mouth.

This action was accurately captured by Liu Qianqian.

"What books did you go looking for?" she asked directly.

"." Xiangyang was stunned, and couldn't help but feel even more upset with Little John. How should I answer this?
"Fan fiction."

"Fan fiction?" Liu Qianqian suddenly became more interested. She really didn't expect that Xiangyang, a handsome guy who had to quote classics even when educating her, would actually go to a bookstore to look for fan fiction.

this.
Shouldn't this all be watched secretly on the Internet, hiding under the covers?

"Haha, that's not the case." Principal An found this topic very suitable for him and said with a smile:

"There are actually a lot of fan fictions of this kind published. Some of them are quite good from a literary perspective."

Just like many women in China who like TV dramas, they are interested in Mary Sue.

Foreigners also like fan fiction.

Of course, fan fiction is just a general term and does not specifically refer to popular novels such as "Twilight" or "Harry Potter".

There are fan fictions about works like "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Gone with the Wind", "The Catcher in the Rye", or the detective novel "The Maltese Falcon".

Even George Orwell’s Animal Farm has it!

But when he was curious about what kind of fan fiction his son-in-law was looking for published, Xiangyang refused to tell him.

This inevitably made him a little curious.

Although fan fiction that can be published is rare and may not be of high literary quality, it can still be used to kill time.

"Dad, you are actually open-minded about such novels?" Liu Qianqian was surprised by Principal An's point of view.

"Haha, your father is not an old-fashioned person." Principal An said with a smile: "If we look at literature from the perspective of the online criticism of "Bullets Fly" for plagiarism, then does that mean that all historical romance novels have plagiarized "Pride and Prejudice"?"

"Huh~" Liu Qianqian was even more surprised this time.

She never thought that Principal An would actually pay attention to domestic online hot topics.

However, she agreed with this point of view.

Although there are indeed some problems with the poster, it would be too much to say that the creation of the film content should also be labeled as "plagiarism".

"Dad is right. Let's go." Xiangyang, sandwiched between the father and daughter, wanted to end the topic as soon as possible. "There are no private planes available today."

The Isle of Man is too close to Liverpool.

Just go there by boat.

The journey is 3 hours in total, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way and relax on the boat.

It seemed that his reading of fan fiction had aroused Liu Qianqian's curiosity. After she and Xiangyang got into the car one after another, she quietly asked:
"I'll give you a chance. Tell me honestly what book you bought."

"It's a fan fiction novel." Xiang Yang swallowed, "I even joked with Little John that I would give it to the Queen as a gift. If you don't believe me, ask him."

"Well, I can prove it." Little John nodded quickly.

The two of them did make a joke about "Fifty Shades of Grey" and Elizabeth, and Xiangyang was not lying.

But that's it.
After covering for Xiang Yang, Little John, who was sitting in the car, secretly took out his cell phone and ignored Macron who was also curious beside him.

Annoyed by the guy's questions, he simply said, "You should focus on your House of Cards," and then typed what Xiangyang described into Google.

in the country, you can ask Baidu for everything.

When you are abroad, look for Google when you encounter a problem.

After several revisions, before he even reached the dock, he found a fan fiction similar to the one Xiangyang was talking about.

But this book is not called "Fifty Shades of Grey" at all, but "Master of the Universe".

You won’t know until you see it.
I couldn't get into Little John the first time I read it. I spent the three hours on the boat browsing this explicit novel on my phone.

It wasn't until he got off the boat that he came to his senses.

Looking at Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian walking in front, he looked at the scenery of the island with curiosity and anticipation. Principal An and Macron were chatting happily about something, while Bi Shaffer, who made him upset, was communicating with the real estate agent who came to receive them.

Little John, whose mouth corners raised proudly without anyone noticing, raised his head in triumph.

This time, he finally had the evidence in his hand, and then he went to Xiangyang with confidence to ask for the villa.

He dared to guarantee that he would not have to spend a penny and Xiangyang would provide him with free decoration.

However, Little John thought it was incredible that his good friend actually liked novels like "Master of the Universe".

Could it be that people who make women's clothing have the same emotional interests as those of the female group?
During these three hours, he was not reading the novel on his mobile phone, but was checking the comments and messages below the novel.

It's obvious at first glance that those words are comments from female readers.

There are quite a few.

This shows that it has great commercial value.

"No, I need to ask a professional." Thinking of the joke between him and Xiangyang in the car, little John's intuition told him that there was a great business opportunity here.

The key is, Xiangyang likes it.

Even if the publication fails, I will use this set of novels as a threat and say that I cannot make a living from it for the rest of my life.

But as my good friend said, you can't ask Mr. Buddha for this book.

Who to call?

After communicating with the real estate agency and arranging for Xiangyang, Liu Qianqian, Principal An and Macron to get on the car, Bea Shaffer, who was busy running around, was about to get in when she realized that one person was missing.

She was very angry when she saw Little John standing at the door of the dock with a smirk on his face, holding his cell phone and thinking about something.

But even though there were conflicts, she still gave Xiangyang some face in front of outsiders.

Coming to Little John, she looked at him with disdain and said righteously, "If you have your own schedule, stand here. We are leaving."

"Shafer, do you know anyone in the publishing house?" Little John, whose train of thought was interrupted, asked subconsciously.

"I know him." Bi Shafer was surprised at first, then frowned.

What the hell is this guy doing?

"Yeah, it would be strange if you didn't know him." As if he was talking to himself, or as if he was responding, a cunning look suddenly flashed in Little John's eyes.

He knew what to do.

Now that he had made up his mind, he walked towards the car parked on the roadside waiting at the pier, his steps becoming lighter.

Bi Shaffer, who followed, rolled her eyes and said, "Psycho."

As the guide, she naturally walked to the car that Xiangyang was riding in. Before getting on the car, in order to avoid causing misunderstanding, she took two deep breaths and adjusted her mood.

But this tiny movement was still noticed by Liu Qianqian, who was sitting next to her.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qianqian asked with concern as soon as she got in the car.

Bi Shafer glanced at Xiang Yang, then at Liu Qianqian, and muttered:
"Nothing, just now when I called Little John, it took several calls for him to hear me, and then he said something strange."

"What are you talking about, strangely?" Liu Qianqian asked softly, speaking specifically to Xiangyang.

She said, why is it so strange so early in the morning.

Hearing this, Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat.

Is this sixth sense really so accurate?

"He asked me if I knew anyone in the publishing industry." Bi Shafer spread her hands. Her whole family had dealings with publishing companies.

How could she not recognize him?

After he said that, Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat even harder.

Facing Liu Qianqian's gaze, Xiangyang panicked, "Well, honey, I have nothing to do with this. I don't know."
