Chapter 54 Actually, I'm not very good at writing.

  "The helmsman is here, the helmsman is here."

  Two lines of poetry, a pair, three or four thousand brothers swarmed around, seemingly like a gang.

  It wasn't until then that Li Zhi Cheng finally understood.

  The earth shakes with high ridges, and a creek mountain has been beautiful for thousands of years.

  The gate faces the vast ocean, three rivers converge and flow for ten thousand years.

  These two lines of poetry are clearly the secret signal for members of the Red Flower Society in "The Book and the Sword" to meet.

  It was unexpected that Zhou Yifan's first meeting with many book friends would be so extraordinary and eye-catching. Even the female journalist couldn't help but praise when she saw this scene, thinking to herself: "I didn't know when such a young author emerged." But then she wondered, "Why haven't I heard of him before?"

  "Thank you all for coming to Yanjing to support us, thank you everyone."

  "Nowhere, nowhere."

  Thirty-four thousand fans saw Zhou Yifan, although young and surprising at first. However, when they saw the heroic aura emanating from Zhou Yifan's body, they were instantly impressed. Indeed, Zhou Yifan didn't look extremely handsome, just a bit sunny. But this temperament shocked everyone. No wonder, only such a person could write the heroic spirit in "The Book and Sword Enchanting Record".

  Afterwards, everything became easier.

  In Li Zhi Cheng's excited mood, the book signing ceremony of "Shu Jian En Chou Lu" quickly began. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming number of people who came to attend, the signing ceremony had to be conducted in a queue. However, this queue extended all the way out onto the main street.

  "What's going on?"

  People around were shocked by seeing the long queue on this side.

  "Yes, it seems like they're lining up at the Haidian Bookstore. I wonder if some celebrity author is making an appearance?"

  "It should be."

  Everyone was talking about it, and such a scene also attracted the attention of some reporters.

  "Excuse me, are you all lining up here to buy books?"

  A reporter who received this information is interviewing fans in line.

  "No, we're here for the signing ceremony."

  "Really? May I ask, whose book signing event is this?"

  "Monday is ordinary."

  "What's up on Monday?"

  "This journalist friend seemed to have never heard of it and asked again, 'Zhou Yifan, doesn't seem to have heard much about it.'"

  "Maybe, but in the future, I believe Zhou Yifan's name will become a culture."

  Today, Monday is quietly nameless.

  Tomorrow, he will be famous all over the world.

  ……

  "Monday Fan DaDa, I am your loyal book fan, can I take a photo with you?"

  At the signing meeting, Zhou Yifan signed his name on the book. However, that fan felt it was not enough and insisted on taking a photo with Zhou Yifan before leaving.

  "Okay, of course, but just one photo, there are many people lining up behind you."

  Zhou Fan nodded slightly.

  The fan was overjoyed and couldn't believe that his request had actually come true, excitedly hugging Zhou Fan and taking a close-up photo together.

  "Just like a country bumpkin, taking pictures too."

  A very small voice came from the side.

  Although the people around him didn't hear, Zhou Fan's hearing had become more sensitive than others since he practiced Xiantian Gong. He glanced at "Ming Lei" on his left, who was also holding a signing ceremony, wanting to see him embarrassed. But just then, Li Zhi Cheng walked over and patted Zhou Fan's shoulder, telling him not to be impulsive. Seeing this, Zhou Fan sighed and gave up.

  Although he is not afraid of Ming Lei, after all, he still has to consider Sanlian Publishing House.

  "Ah, next friend."

  Enduring it, Zhou Fan bowed his head and signed.

  At this time, for some reason, Li Qiang from Xinsheng Bookstore walked over.

  "Boss Li, not bad! This time you've really splurged!"

  Li Qiang of Xinsheng Bookstore was getting angrier by the minute.

  Today, Ming Lei and Zhou Yi Fan were arranged to play against each other, even the location of the signing ceremony was chosen in the same place. The purpose is to slap Sanlian Shushe's face. But now, before it starts, their faces have already lost light. Moreover, at this time, anyone can see that Zhou Yi Fan's side has a surging popularity, while Ming Lei's side is dull and lifeless. At most, there are one or two book friends who get excited for a while. Most of them were invited by him to come and sign the book, take it and leave, nothing else.

  This situation also made the journalists who were invited by one side frown.

  Is this still Ming Lei? How come it's so unpopular?

  Originally, Ming Lei's popularity was not bad, if it were an ordinary day, these journalist friends might have even praised him a few sentences. But compared to the thousands of people on both sides, queuing all the way to the other side of the road... what's so special about Ming Lei now? Looking at it now, he seems like a newcomer who just debuted, not some famous author at all. Even more, several journalist friends they invited on the spot had already defected and gone to interview Sanlian Publishing House and Zhou Yifan instead.

  This is absolutely the strongest humiliation Li Qiang has ever received in history.

  After some thought, Li Qiang came up with a plan and arrived at Zhou Yifan's autograph session.

  "Director Li was being polite, these are all loyal fans, no need for us to rally them. Where can compare with Director Li's book club meetings every time, it's a big deal, inviting a large group of people over."

  Li Zhi Cheng's seemingly polite response hid countless sarcastic remarks within.

  "You..."

  Li Qiang's face turned red with rage, but he had been in the publishing industry for over a decade and had some tact. "Alright, Mr. Li is quite capable. Since we're all here for the book signing ceremony, why don't we invite our author friends to join us and have an exchange? What do you think?"

  "Hehe, our Sanlian Publishing House is a small family business, how dare we aim high?"

  Li Zhi Cheng directly refused.

  Although he just made a sarcastic comment about Li Qiang, in reality, he didn't want to fight him head-on either.

  "Don't be polite."

  Li Qiang saw that Li Zhi Cheng was not taking the bait, so he had no choice but to come over to Zhou Yi Fan's side.

  He thought that Zhou Yifan was just starting out and very young, didn't understand the depth of it, and opened his mouth to praise Zhou Fan, saying something like "heroes emerge in their youth". Then, he slightly mentioned, saying something about making friends through literature, wanting Zhou Yifan to have a good exchange with Ming Lei. However, Zhou Fan ignored him, "Mr. Li, is this really necessary? Look, there are still several thousand book fans waiting for signatures downstairs. This kind of exchange will probably take up the whole day, and I won't be able to sign many."

  Although seeing Li Qiang's smiling face, Zhou Fan had the urge to bully him, but thinking of Li Zhi Cheng, he endured it a little. Thinking again, alas, one shouldn't always think of bullying others, spare people when you can, everyone has a hard time. However, that guy seemed to think Zhou Fan was afraid. Hearing Zhou Fan's excuse, Ming Lei directly walked over.

  "What's this, friend? You don't even dare to communicate with me. I'm afraid this book 'Sword Enmity Record' wasn't written by you, was it?"

  This sentence is even more unpleasant than scolding. Zhou Fan didn't respond, and the fans in the audience couldn't take it anymore. "Damn Ming Lei, get out of here, what are you doing running over here?"

  "Yes, even your lousy book has readers, let alone our Monday Fang Da's."

  "What are you looking at? Get out of here! Brothers, beat him to death."

  Someone else said a sentence that killed him, and those who were making gestures wanted to throw mineral water bottles.

  Ming Lei's face changed color as soon as he heard it, his body shook, and he quickly slipped away.

  "You, you..."

  Seeing Ming Lei's fearful appearance, Li Qiang almost had a heart attack from anger.

  However, at this time, Zhou Fan took over the conversation, "The friend who spoke earlier said to communicate together, it's good. Recently writing has been quite lonely, OK, let's communicate together then."

  Having said that, Zhou Fan moved out of Dengzi and came to the middle of the podium.

  This time at the signing ceremony, two publishing houses each occupied one side of the stage, and they could see each other face to face.

  "Come on, Ming Lei, hurry up."

  Seeing Zhou Fan coming over on his own, Li Qiang felt a slight sense of joy and immediately called out to Ming Lei to come over.

  It wasn't until a while later that Ming Lei finally sat down with Zhou Fan, accompanied by the staff. However, even so, this guy still occasionally glanced at the fans on Zhou Fan's side. In his heart, he was probably thinking, what if this is another riot, what would I do?

  "Haha, you're Ming Lei?"

  Looking at this guy wearing glasses and dressing fashionably, Zhou Fan smiled slyly.

  "I am Minglai, what should I call you?"

  Seeing Zhou Fan's self-deprecation, Ming Lei's confidence increased slightly, thinking, "I'm also a first-rate writer in China. What is this kid, just starting out?"

  "It doesn't matter what I call you. But earlier you said let's communicate, so go ahead and say something."

  "I have an idea, why don't the two of you hold a joint autograph session together? It's also a great opportunity for a literary gathering. How about this: each of you write a piece and give it to a fan, what do you think?"

  Li Qiang soon came up with an idea.

  "Good."

  Ming Lei didn't hesitate and agreed directly. Then, he smiled at Zhou Fan.

  He knew that Zhou Fan's works were serialized online and usually typed on the computer. In other words, he guessed that Zhou Fan rarely wrote by hand. Moreover, after understanding that most authors who serialize their works online have poor handwriting, Ming Lei asked himself if his own handwriting, although not elegant enough for a grand hall, had been practiced for decades and was quite good. If this kid dared to compare, wait until they publicly displayed both of their works, he would definitely slap him hard in the face twice.

  "Writing, sigh... actually I'm not very good at writing..."

  Zhou Fan shook his head.

  Many fans and friends are also anxious, some want to advise Zhou Fan not to take it, change another one.

  After all, they also knew that Zhou Fan was a web writer and usually typed on the computer, so it's estimated that the words written were not very good. However, this is only the idea of those friends who did not get the signed book. As for those friends who got Zhou Fan's autograph, they were thrilled. Because from the signature above, the three characters "Zhou Yi Fan" look ordinary, just like his name. But when you look deeper, you will feel that these three characters are as majestic as they are, and their realm is not ordinary.

  Although they are not studying calligraphy, they also know that being able to write characters to such a realm is absolutely awesome.

  This guy is actually daring to compete with their idol in a spelling contest, isn't this just asking for trouble?

  "Alright, since this friend is so enthusiastic, I'll accompany you to death."

  Zhou Fan's three words and two languages conveyed an inexpressible calmness and elegance.

  It seems like this competition doesn't matter at all, and there's no concern whatsoever.

  So calm and composed, just like the master written in "The Book and Sword Enchanting Record". In an instant, those friends who didn't think much of Zhou Yifan's writing skills were secretly thinking, "Could it be that Zhou Yifan is also one of them, not knowing how good he is until he makes his move and shocks everyone? Or maybe, right now, he's just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"

  Of course, for some other friends, they are already overjoyed in their hearts.

  "My god, I'm still not good at writing characters, idols are just idols, this kind of pretentiousness can only be done by idols."
