Chapter 53: So they were all brothers of the Red Flower Society after all

  "Minglai, this time our signing ceremony is going to be especially grand and solemn. Later on, you must make a good showing."

  Xin Sheng Bookstore business manager Li Qiang and popular author Ming Lei sat in an Audi, occasionally chatting about something.

  "Thanks a lot, Li Ge."

  Ming Lei looked at Li Qiang with gratitude.

  Although writers are originally very proud, not to mention popular writers. However, Ming Lei is not dare to have any disrespect for Li Qiang of Xinsheng Book Company. At that time, he was just a small writer with only a few hundred yuan in manuscript fees per month. If it weren't for Li Qiang, his work would not be so popular today.

  "It's all right, your book is a bestseller, isn't it also our big sale?"

  Li Qiang burst out laughing, looking very happy.

  After two or three years of publicity and packaging, Ming Lei has become a first-rate writer in the Huaxia region. This time, to make Ming Lei a top-notch writer in the Huaxia region, Li Qiang made careful arrangements. For example, this signing ceremony was much more grand than usual. He even specially invited hundreds of people to make the scene bigger. And with the support of some media, let's see if there is an opportunity.

  "We're here."

  At a little past 8 o'clock, the two arrived at the venue for this book signing event, Haidian Book City.

  Hai Da Book City is the largest book city in the Huaxia region and also the most famous one. Many popular authors will come here to hold some activities. Especially on the Reading Day of Huaxia region every year, it becomes the focus of the cultural circle. Li Qiang chose Hai Da Book City, apart from this reason, there is another more important reason, which is to strike a blow at Sanlian Publishing House.

  Not surprisingly, after he issued the kill order last time, other publishers gave him face and didn't contact the author of "The Book and Sword Enmity Record" again. Even though a few publishing houses thought highly of this book, they didn't sign a contract. However, coincidentally, there was a not-so-powerful Sanlian Publishing House that completely didn't give itself face and signed "The Book and Sword" at the first time.

  This slap in the face made Li Qiang extremely angry.

  Soon, Li Qiang took a series of retaliatory measures and directly contacted the major bookstores in the Huaxia region to ban "The Book and the Sword".

  However, Haitian Book City is an exception with its great reputation.

  Of course, even if Hai Da Book City does not cooperate, Li Qiang has a plan.

  For example, choosing to play against Sanlian Publishing House today is to humiliate the author. Hmph, one is a newcomer who has just debuted, and the other is a well-known writer at the peak of their career. The popularity of the two people cannot be mentioned on the same day. I'm afraid that after a while, Ming Lei will directly attack that author and make them lose face on the spot.

  "Wow, Li Ge, this time you're also too explosive!"

  Looking at the sea of people packed tightly together, Ming Lei suddenly became excited.

  My goodness, there are so many people! At a glance, there must be at least three or four thousand.

  Three to four thousand fans in attendance, such a terrifying record, even some top writers are no more than that.

  "Thanks, Li Ge, thanks a lot."

  Ming Lei knew his own strength, although he also had some popularity, but still a bit short of the top writers. Now three or four thousand people have arrived, obviously arranged by Li Qiang. In his heart, he was even more grateful to Li Qiang. After speaking, Ming Lei quickly walked onto the podium.

  "Hey, Ming Lei, wait."

  Li Qiang felt something was off, he hadn't arranged for so many people after all?

  But at this time Ming Lei was nowhere to be heard, he was already excited beyond control.

  With such popularity, I'm afraid that after starting a new book signing event, he will definitely be able to break into the top writer category and become immortal.

  Of course, Ming Lei, who was getting more and more excited at this time, didn't think about why these fans saw him but didn't even say hello.

  "How are you all?"

  Ming Lei excitedly faced the more than 3,000 people and loudly shouted a sentence.

  This feeling, it's really like being a star. No, he is a star now, with everyone's attention on him. Look, those three or four thousand people are all staring at him in unison. It's great, this feeling is just too great. Ming Lei's heart is also floating, when has he ever had such a feeling in his decade-long writing career?

  It was just when he finished speaking, I thought the scene would erupt, but unexpectedly, no one responded to him.

  "What's going on?"

  Why aren't they talking?

  There's something strange in my heart, but I've already figured it out deep down.

  "Haha, are you guys too excited? Actually, I'm also very excited, thank you, thank you."

  Ming Lei stood in front of three or four thousand people, with an unspeakable pride.

  Huh, why hasn't anyone spoken up yet?

  "Are they stupid, or did they just become stupid when they saw themselves?"

  Looking at three or four thousand people staring straight at him, Ming Lei couldn't understand no matter what.

  "Why aren't you guys talking?"

  This can't be because Brother Li didn't explain it clearly, right?

  In my heart, a chill has already begun to spread. I recall that about a year ago, we also organized an event where Xinsheng Publishing House wanted to boost popularity and specially invited some people to pretend to be Ming Lei's fans. However, because it wasn't handled well at the time, afterwards during media interviews, they asked those fans, "In your impression, among Ming Lei's works, which one do you like?"

  As a result, he meowed and these guys muttered, unable to say even half of their work.

  If it weren't for the media attention later on, Ming Lei's face would have been completely lost.

  Is this happening again?

  Just then, as he was thinking deeply in his heart, someone suddenly said from below the stage, "Nima, who do you think you are, get down."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a mineral water bottle had already been thrown over.

  Someone took the lead, and the crowd below immediately shouted, "Brothers, this is that guy called Ming Lei. He's finished, kill him."

  In the blink of an eye, hundreds of mineral water bottles were thrown over again.

  They are really annoying, from the beginning to now, a large number of people have been asking them what Ming Lei is all about, but they are clearly not fans of Ming Lei. It wasn't until later that it was finally understood that Ming Lei was also here for an autograph session today. Originally, this would be fine, and people would just admit their mistake. But damn it, this Ming Lei guy is really stupid, he actually ran over like a madman for no reason.

  Also, how are you all doing?

  Moreover, I'm delighted to see you all.

  Go ahead and be happy, we don't know you, your business, we haven't seen it before.

  Similarly, we are not your fans, what does it mean for you to shout at us?

  At this moment, a group of excited people directly threw the mineral water bottles in their hands over there.

  "Oh no, oh no, how can you guys be like this."

  Several hundred mineral water bottles came crashing, some of which were not very heavy, but some still had water in them. Plus a few were particularly vicious and used great force, so this round of crashes instantly left several lumps on Ming Lei's head.

  "Right, this guy has caused us so much trouble, smash him to death."

  Until the end, if Li Qiang hadn't seen that things were going badly and sent someone to rescue Ming Lei, Ming Lei would probably have been beaten unconscious.

  "Li, Li Ge, what kind of thugs are you looking for?"

  In the rest room, Ming Lei's whole body was trembling and he looked at Li Ming with a painful cry.

  "Who told you these people were the ones I was looking for?"

  "Ah, it wasn't you who invited him, then why didn't you tell me?"

  "Come on, you're blaming me? I was going to say that to you. I was just thinking of telling you, and then you ran off."

  Li Qiang really wanted to slap Ming Lei in the face. Are you out of your mind? This time, you've lost face big time.

  Outside the door, Zhou Fan and Sanlian Shu's boss Li Zhi Cheng and others finally arrived.

  "Hey brother, Hai Da Shu Cheng, today's book signing event is being held right here. By the way, I'll remind you again, when we meet Ming Lei later, try not to have any conflicts with him."

  Li Zhi Cheng still didn't feel at ease and once again instructed.

  "Don't worry, I know."

  It was said that it was so, but Zhou Fan didn't think so in his heart. That Ming Lei, Zhou Fan didn't know him, there was no grudge. However, if that Ming Lei dared to come and cause trouble, he would definitely make him pay the price.

  The two of them agreed and slowly walked into Haida Bookstore.

  "So many people."

  Seeing the sea of people at the Big Book City, Li Zhi Cheng furrowed his brow.

  That Li Qiang is really generous, he actually invited so many people, and in a little while, I'm afraid we'll be outdone by him.

  Although there were some sighs, there was no way about it. The other party's strength was evident, whether it was the publisher's strength or that author Ming Lei. In fact, he didn't really care for Ming Lei in his heart. This kind of writer who relies on packaging to sell, if they really had so much money. Li Zhi Cheng asked himself, could do better. But for now, his strength wasn't enough, and he could only hold back a sigh.

  However, when Zhou Fan saw these people, his eyes lit up.

  Unexpectedly, there were actually three to four thousand people.

  At that time, the leader of the fan group, Lu Feiqing, sent the list of people coming to Yanjing to himself. Zhou Fan still had some doubts. Moreover, he thought to himself, even if there were 4,000 people signed up, it was possible that only a little over 1,000 people would actually come. After all, his book friends lived in various parts of China, and some were separated from Yanjing by one or two thousand miles, making it not easy to come to Yanjing at all. But now looking at the dense crowd, there were at least three thousand people.

  Although Zhou Fan didn't know these three or four thousand people either, in the crowd, he saw the leader of his fan club.

  This man was precisely Lu Feiqing.

  Actually, the name Lu Feiqing is a high-ranking master of the Wudang Sect in "The Book and Sword Enmity Record". Later, Lu Feiqing's senior brother was killed by Zhang Zhaoren, a traitor of the Wudang Sect, so he became the leader of the Wudang Sect. It can be said that whether it is martial arts or prestige, they are all very high. At that time, when Lu Feiqing introduced himself as Lu Feiqing in the PP fan group, it caught Zhou Fan's attention.

  As for later Lu Feiqing topped with a master's name, plus also beautiful woman, becoming the fan club president is also logical.

  However, Zhou Fan saw Lu Feiqing, but he didn't directly call out Lu Feiqing's name.

  Looking at three or four thousand people, Zhou Fan suddenly sang out in a loud voice:

  "The ground shakes with high ridges, a creek mountain scenery thousands of years old."

  "Ah, Brother Yi Fan, what a wonderful scenery of mountains and rivers for thousands of years?"

  Next to Li Zhi Cheng, who knew what was going on, looked at Zhou Fan. However, when this sentence came out, three or four thousand people turned their heads in unison, paused for a moment, and didn't react yet. It wasn't until a while later that everyone remembered, speaking in unison, picking up where Zhou Fan left off, shouting loudly, "The gate faces the vast ocean, the convergence of three rivers flows for ten thousand years."

  Hahaha...

  Zhou Fan burst out laughing and cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, saying "So you're all brothers of the Red Flower Society. Forgive me, forgive me."
