Chapter 502: Keep a Low Profile, Speak Highly
Chen An took a taxi back to the hotel, took a shower and lay on the bed. He picked up his mobile phone and found several messages from Michelle on WeChat.
I clicked it and took a look, and couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
Ever since she got what she wanted last time and got a new Patek Philippe watch, Michelle has changed her mind.
At first, he was simply annoyed with Guan Juer and wanted to steal her boyfriend, then be a fool for a while and then dump him.
But after getting to know Chen An, Michelle completely changed her mind. As long as she could hold on to such an outstanding man, she would be able to live a worry-free life for the rest of her life.
So when Chen An asked her to do something, she was always very serious.
She was sure that Chen An was interested in her, but the situation during this period had made her go from being optimistic at the beginning to being a little confused.
Although Chen An would reply every time she sent a message, there was something wrong with both the speed of his reply and the feeling when he replied, which made her feel that he was perfunctory.
This made her a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should act a little coquettishly. After all, if she wanted the relationship to last long, she definitely couldn't do that. Although being a little coquettishly could quickly win a man's favor, how could it last long if she just showed off her beauty?
But today made her change her mind. Guan Juer has been in a bad state these days, and Chen An hasn't picked her up for a while, so Michelle guessed that the two may have had a conflict. It would be a pity if she didn't seize such a good opportunity.
The phone dinged with a message alert. Michelle quickly opened it and took a look, her brows furrowed.
Chen An’s message was very simple, just a thumbs-up emoji, good night, and he had something to do tomorrow.
This made Michelle crazy. She struggled mentally for a long time. I sent you the sexy photos, and this is what I got in return?
After replying to the message, Chen An put his phone down and went to sleep. Michelle was a good chess piece, but he hadn't figured out how to maximize her role yet, so he decided to keep her hanging for now.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Chen An and Feng Ling arrived at the exchange meeting together. As an editor, Feng Ling had her own things to do, so she went to work first.
As a stranger, Chen An appeared in front of everyone for the first time and naturally attracted some people's attention.
"Hello, I'm Zhan Yue, the author of "Thunderstorm Ice City"..." A man who looked to be about 40 years old, wearing a pair of glasses and slightly overweight, took the initiative to greet Chen An.
"I've heard a lot about you. I especially like your protagonist..."
"Thank you very much. May I know what to call you?" the man said politely with a smile.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the author of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and my life is like that of Nan'an." Chen An said with a smile.
The man's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but raise his voice. "You are the author of "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality". I have heard of your name for a long time. I have heard of your name for a long time."
Looking at the other person, who seemed like his fan, Chen An couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He wondered if the other person was too good at acting.
"Master, I love your work so much. You can say that you have created a new genre..."
After chatting with this guy for a while, I finally figured it out. It seems that this guy is really my fan. There is nothing surprising about this. The author himself is a professional who summarizes his knowledge and edits it into stories.
So apart from working hours, most of the time is spent enriching my knowledge and experience, and reading is naturally the fastest shortcut.
The chat between the two naturally attracted the attention of others, and one of the eyes was extremely unfriendly when it was looked at Chen An. Originally, his work had dominated the charts since the beginning of the year, and he had a chance to rank first on the sales chart of Shengshi. He did not expect that Chen An would suddenly appear and overshadow his brilliance.
He was not convinced by this tone and felt that Chen An was taking advantage and was able to surpass him by relying on the novelty of his book. He was not convinced about his writing style, and now that he had met Chen An in person, he was even more unconvinced. He had been immersed in it for more than ten years, but was not as good as this novice?
So he decided to cause some trouble for Chen An, and at the same time see what kind of person this guy is and whether he is qualified to sit in the top position.
The exchange meeting officially started at 10 o'clock. First, the leader of the organizer gave a speech and introduced the invited guests.
It has to be said that although the development of online literature has just started in this era, the specifications are indeed not low. The guests are either literature professors or famous curators, and each of them has many famous works with very high gold content.
Although Chen An's writing skills have reached the master level, he still gained something from listening to these people's speeches.
"Xiao Chen, how are your preparations? It will be your turn soon." Feng Ling came close to Chen An and asked in a low voice, worried that Chen An might be nervous.
Chen An smiled back and whispered in Feng Ling's ear, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
After an old professor finished his speech and the host gave him some praise, it was the turn of the online writers to speak. This exchange meeting was co-organized by Shengshi Literature and several peers. Although it cannot be compared with the exchange meetings of the Writers Association, it is also very impressive.
"Now, please welcome the new dark horse master writer, the author of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Shishi Nan'an to the stage..."
Chen An smiled and stood up to go on stage. He interacted with the host for a few words and was about to speak....
Two beautiful ladies holding flowers came to the audience and claimed to be his fans. Chen An was a little stunned. He didn't remember notifying his fans. After all, the itinerary was decided at the last minute. However, he still took photos with them. There were also many flashes at the scene to record this scene.
Chen An just thought it was a small episode and naturally didn't know that some people were deliberately elevating him and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Clearing his throat, Chen An smiled and said, "I'm honored to be a part of this exchange meeting..." He started with a simple opening.
"Everyone here is my senior, so I won't teach you about writing. As a new author, I will talk about my personal views on the future of the industry. I hope you can keep silent for now if you have any opinions."
Holy shit! Many people in the audience widened their eyes at this moment. They originally thought that Chen An’s humble remarks at the beginning were probably because he was a newcomer and therefore needed to be cautious. They never expected such a big reversal. His words were very overbearing and shocking.
Chen An was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. Those who were not envied were mediocre. He did not need to be cautious. Moreover, he had a say in future development more than anyone else present...
"As we all know... the future..." Chen An described the blueprint of the future industry from a general direction, with clear logic and reasoning, which made some people who originally thought that Chen An was young and frivolous nod their heads secretly...
As for those who wanted to see the joke, they were naturally disappointed...
After Chen An finished his speech, he was greeted with applause. Then other authors gave their analysis and sharing on the subject matter and techniques. Chen An listened carefully.
The exchange meeting was not considered to be over until half past eleven. Of course, this was only for some people. As the protagonist, Chen An naturally stayed.
Feng Ling took him to communicate with the seniors present. There was naturally a reason for this. After all, there were quite a few people here who were from the Writers Association. Although Chen An was not qualified now, it would be beneficial for him in the future if he could get to know them.
Of course, drinking culture is indispensable. After dealing with it, it was almost time.
Chen An drank a lot of wine. He said goodbye to Feng Ling and went upstairs to rest.
