Chapter 233 Reading Club

Subtitle of this chapter: I have become the top brand... Well, it's a big brand.

"Boss, look. This Chinese man brought a blonde in yesterday, but today he brought a brunette out! Both of them are pretty. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Hey, why does this woman look so familiar?"

"Well, she seems to be a movie star."

"Boss, you're right. Damn it, isn't this Lilian-Miss Jish? This damn Chinese really has a damn good fortune. He is also a Chinese girl in Chinatown, a pure little girl, and a gorgeous big star...fxxk!"

“…”

Well, in fact, Agent Aiden thought of the yellow-faced woman at home, and he felt a little envious and jealous.

It is one pm on Tuesday, December 7, 1920. Our Master Yuan and his "Lucifer" woke up in the morning and fought fiercely for several more times, and had just gotten up from bed.

If Yuan Yan hadn't had made an agreement with others, maybe these two might have been tired of being in bed.

"Lilian, we have a car, but no one drives it today. Let's call a taxi."

Yesterday, Lord Masayoshi drove the car back and had a dinner with Lord Fool and the Big Star. However, after the meal, he went out tactfully to drive a room in the hotel next to him, and he has not come back yet.

"Ni Ao, you can't even drive a car? Well, after all, you are an Asian."

Well, Yuan Yanshu has never understood why Baipi has the deep-rooted prejudice of "Asians can't drive". Haven't they heard of the legend of "Akima Mountain veteran driver"... Well, they really haven't heard of it.

So when he heard Miss Jish's teasing, he could only roll his eyes.

The pretty and lovely star happily sat down in the driving position and said, "Okay, then I'll be your driver today. Get in the car, Mr. Yuan!"

But our Master Yuan stood there and didn't move, but frowned and seemed to be considering some major issues.

"Ni Ao, why haven't you gotten into the car? Do you don't believe in my driving level?"

"No, no, Lilian. I totally believe in your driving level, I just don't believe that you can still step on the brakes later."

"You're so bad!"

The man and woman just cursed and stopped a taxi and headed straight to Nyu in Manhattan. They did not go to New York University to attend classes, but to the Barnes and Noble University Bookstore next to New York University.

Barnes & Noble was founded in 1873 by Charles Barnes in his home in Illinois. Unlike other separate bookstores at that time, the founder of Barnes & Noble Bookstore had the idea of ​​chain operations from the very beginning.

,

After opening, Mr. Barnes opened the so-called "community bookstore" in a small town near his home. In addition to selling books, newspapers, these bookstores often hold book clubs and signing parties, and provide readers with a very comfortable social environment. This makes the bookstores in these towns a place for residents, especially housewives, to gather.

The business strategy of Banno Bookstore was a great success. Later, this kind of community bookstore became larger and more and more services, and became a "super bookstore" similar to the supermarket.

After achieving initial success, Mr. Barnes believed that students were a book consumer group that cannot be ignored, so he devoted himself to the construction of university bookstores, which is the "Barno University Bookstore". By the 1990s, there were more than 300 Barno University bookstores in the United States. There were naturally one next to a famous university like New York University.

Of course, our Master Yuan went to the bookstore to buy books. The broken system was troublesome, but it was quite convenient to use as a reader. He was invited to attend the reading club.

We are not familiar with the reading clubs, but they are still very popular in European and American countries and have a variety of forms. You can have a few good friends who meet to read the same book, and when the time is agreed, everyone will gather together to share their reading experience; or you can have a bookstore that issues a notice to hold a symposium for a book at a certain time, and some completely unfamiliar readers come together to speak freely because of their common love for a certain book.

There is also the author who participated in today who was attending the stage to read aloud. After reading, he was asked by the fans present about the promotional signing party. Moreover, today's reading party is not the only one of him. In fact, this was originally a special reading party by Ms. Vera Caeser.

The famous female writer highly praised "Love Chocolate", calling it "filled the extremely embarrassing gap between the conservative nineteenth century and the radical twentieth century". She established a channel of contact with Miss Helen Brown and Master Yuan. So this joint reading club was founded.

"Helen, John. You are here. Let me introduce this person..."

Mr. McCall's eyes lit up and he rushed forward to shake hands and said, "Ms. Lilian Gish! Aren't you that big star? Lucky to be lucky."

"Hello, Mr. McCall."

"Ms. Gish, this is Miss Helen Brown."

What a man, how can you not be excited to see a female celebrity? What a woman, seeing a homosexual who is more beautiful than herself, especially the male god who once had some ideas, will not get angry.

The "little fairy in the forest" always felt that Niao was surrounded by a bunch of "stinky boys" who didn't understand his true value, just for his handsome face, his reputation and his stinky money.

"Hello, Miss Brown."

"Hello, Miss Jish." She greeted Yuan Yan coldly, and then said suddenly, "Neo, come with me quickly..."

Our Master Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly at Miss Jish helplessly, and followed "Helen from Manhattan" to the lounge of the Banno Bookstore. A middle-aged man and a woman were sitting there chatting.

"Ms. Kathy, Mr. Dresse, this is neo-yuan."

The middle-aged woman with a fat figure, a round face like a full moon and a pair of shiny blue eyes happily stood up and stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Yuan."

Willacather, this famous American "female" writer who is not as good as gender, is the forefront of the 20th century. This double quote mark is a sign of respect, which means that she is no longer limited to the category of female writers.

Her novels are also very masculine. In fact, this elder sister has been masculine since she was a child. She likes to wear men's clothes and changes her name to William, especially she has many female "close friends".

However, Ms. Kathy never "come out" in her life. Americans' attitude towards LGBT these days is completely different from that of their descendants a hundred years later. It has been a hot topic for my Emperor Trump to not allow transgender people to join the army. How could such a mess be done a hundred years ago?

Of course, for Yuan Hongjian a hundred years later, lily and other things... are so loving!
