The first person I saw was Shannon, and then I noticed a man following her. I also knew the man; he was Du Yusheng, the vice president of the publishing house. Confused, I glanced at Shannon, silently asking her about the situation. Shannon smiled at me, and from her expression, it didn't seem like anything was wrong. Although I knew Du Yusheng, we didn't have much contact. In the past, I would hand over the manuscript to Shannon, and she would handle the publishing house. Although it was unexpected, everyone was already seated across from me, so I couldn't pretend not to see them. I was about to stand up, but Du Yusheng quickly stopped me. He greeted me with a hearty smile, "No, no, no, pregnant women come first. Just sit down. We are all old acquaintances, no need for unnecessary formalities." Du Yusheng left a good impression on me, so I didn't continue with my actions and sat back down. "President Du, thank you," I smiled along with them. Du Yusheng waved his hand and continued, "Zhong, long time no see. You're becoming more beautiful as you grow older. You didn't even send me a wedding invitation after getting married. If Shannon hadn't told me that you're about to give birth, and I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." His words made me a little embarrassed. Although I'm not currently working on a new manuscript, I will definitely continue to collaborate with the publishing house after the baby is born. I didn't want Du Yusheng to misunderstand, so I quickly explained, "How could that be? I just got the marriage certificate, haven't had the wedding banquet yet. When the baby is born, I won't forget President Du."Du Yusheng laughed even more happily, saying it several times in a row. After a simple and warm exchange, Du Yusheng directly explained the purpose of his visit. It was about the book signing event, just as I had expected. They had asked me several times before, and I had always declined. I thought they would have given up by now, but unexpectedly, Du Yusheng personally came to find me. Even if I didn't consider other reasons, with my belly so big, I didn't want to go through the trouble. It would be tiring, and I was afraid something might go wrong. So I didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "President Du, as you can see, I'm really not convenient right now." "And I'm not necessarily popular enough to have people come and ask for my autograph. If we really hold this signing event and no one shows up, I'll be too embarrassed to face anyone.""President Du, if the comics are indeed selling well, then please print more copies. But there's really no need for a signing event." At this moment, Shannon chimed in, "President Du, Liliana Zanetti is currently pregnant with two Gilbert Hartnell babies, and she's already in the later stages of her pregnancy. It's really tough for her. Let's not bother with a signing event." "Of course, I understand that you want to show your support for Liliana Zanetti with a signing event. How about this, once she gives birth and finishes another comic book that sells well and gains popularity, then we can consider it?" "I promise that when that time comes, both Liliana Zanetti and I will absolutely not say no!" As I listened to Shannon's logical and emotional persuasion, I secretly admired her excellent flattery skills. Looking at Du Yusheng's relaxed expression, it seemed that he wasn't unhappy about our consecutive refusals.He smiled and shook his head, then continued, "Alright, I'm not heartless. Liliana Zanetti's belly is already so big, I don't want her to be exhausted." Upon hearing this, I felt relieved. It was good that he agreed. This time, we had a face-to-face conversation, and I didn't think the topic of the signing event would be brought up again. But then, I heard him change the subject and say, "Let's forget about the signing event, but I have another idea. Listen and let's discuss it." I instinctively furrowed my brows and exchanged a glance with Shannon. Did he have another plan? Shannon seemed just as confused as I was. I guessed that she was also in the dark at the moment. But I had made up my mind. I would just listen and that's it. I didn't want to steal the spotlight or gain any fame from this trend.Du Yusheng was actually quite straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. He directly stated his idea. His suggestion was to forget about the signing event, but he wanted me to open a verified Weibo account as a comic artist. Then, when the time comes, I would select the top one hundred followers and give each of them a signed copy of the "Just Want to Stay with You" comic. Du Yusheng seemed a bit excited as he spoke, but I found myself a bit confused. As an unknown small comic artist in the 18th tier, I wonder if anyone would pay attention to me after opening a verified Weibo account. Although "Just Want to Stay with You and Be a Homebody" is currently causing a sensation, I really don't think I have that much appeal. However, compared to just now, Du Yusheng is more assertive about this matter. From my perspective, I really don't want to deal with all of this, but I have already declined the signing event, and Du Yusheng also said that whether it's opening a Weibo account or giving out signed comics, I don't need to personally handle it. All I have to do is sign my name, which is not tiring at all. So, I really can't think of any reason to refuse again. And from Shannon's expression, although we haven't communicated, there is still some understanding between us. I know she wants me to agree. In the end, for various reasons, I nodded in agreement to Du Yusheng's proposal. After achieving his goal, Du Yusheng took the initiative to leave, saying that he will contact me again later and bring the comics for me to sign. After he left, I couldn't help but ask Shannon how she ended up coming with Du Yusheng. Shannon seemed a bit annoyed when she explained it herself. She went to the publishing house before meeting me, originally for something else, but then she ran into Du Yusheng. I don't know what they talked about, but Du Yusheng ended up coming with her. All I could do was sigh silently. Shannon still has a long way to go compared to Du Yusheng. Now that everything has been agreed upon, there's nothing more to say. I can only let them do as they please. Because we were discussing things with Du Yusheng all this time, we didn't order any food. It was only now that we had some free time and called the waiter to bring the menu. Before the waiter could bring the menu, I noticed someone we were both acquainted with entering the restaurant from outside.
