Chapter Forty-Eight: Returning in Vain
No! No! No!
Michelle tightened the voice recorder in her hand, and felt the urge to throw it on Lance's head, such an uncooperative interview subject is rare!
"So, Mr. Lance, can you tell me anything about the author?"
Lance frowned and thought about it, but still shook his head, "You can't reveal anything!" β
...... "Michelle wants to scold, wants to scold!" Why? Why can't it be revealed? β
"Not why. www.biquge.info"Lance said bluntly, he actually wanted to reveal Xu An's identity, the best-selling author is an identity with a certain exposure, and participating in some interviews appropriately can also promote the sales of the work, and it will also be more conducive to the new release.
But what can he say? 21-year-old, Asian, Columbia University graduate, he can't even reveal these simplest things, otherwise with the ability of a reporter, it is enough to dig out Xu An's identity, and then everyone will find out:
Ha, this author is a criminal who deliberately hurts people, and he was arrested and put in prison on the day the new book was put on the shelves!
That's not a good reputation.
Unless Xu An himself doesn't care about this, otherwise without his permission, Lance won't say a word!
Marshall's gaze on Lance began to change, and Lance's refusal to cooperate made him wonder if Lance wanted to gain greater fame and attention, and deliberately concealed the author's own information?
Lance was in no mood to care what the reporter thought, and sent away Michelle, who looked unhappy, and he received a few more interview calls, and some came to interview like Michelle, and the results were no different, except for the author's information, everything else was easy to say.
So the news circle in New York is a little crazy, this book is so popular, they can't dig up any clues of the author himself, only Michelle knows that Xu An is his real name, others still speculate that this is a pen name, and the author's gender is also a variety of speculations, most people tend to women, and they are women with stories, some of them think they are young, and some say they are middle-aged and old.
There are even those who believe that this is the new pen name of a famous author......
But no matter what the reporters speculate, these things cannot be published without real evidence, and readers don't want to see the cranky thoughts of a group of reporters.
Of all the reporters, only Stanley grasped the key, first through a friend in the New York Times, who first obtained Xu An's internship file and learned first-hand real information.
Then, instead of interviewing Lance or Hsu An's parents, he went to Columbia University.
Meanwhile, Stanley is furious in his office.
"What do you say? The author of the signing three days later did not attend, and neither did Lance?! Stanley was eager to throw the mug out of his hand, and the subordinates in front of him were a little helpless, this kind of thing was not something he could decide, but he had to bear the wrath of the supervisor.
"Damn Lance, he's crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!" Stanley shouted angrily, he grabbed the phone and dialed Lance's number, ready to question the other party himself, only to find that his phone was hung up!
Boom!
Stanley dropped the phone in his hand to the ground and walked back and forth like an angry lion.
"****, scumbag, I whispered before signing the contract, but after I put it on the shelf, you gave me this set?!" Stanley had no other thoughts, believing that Lance was deliberately disgusting him.
Without the author, without Lance, what other signing will be held?!
Poor Stanley's marketing department has been working overtime these days, contacting the venue, designing, organizing manpower, and being so busy that it can hold a signing party so quickly, but I didn't expect it to be all messed up because of Lance!

In the cell, Xu An missed the wind time because of Chris's visit, and Brian didn't go out, probably because he was afraid of being watched by people when he went out or something.
After being harshly warned by Xu An, Brian was much more honest, he squatted at the end of the bed, holding something in his hand and pressing the wall, not knowing what he was doing.
Xu An was lying on the bed, doing nothing, and was quickly attracted by Brian's small movements, he turned over to look over, but was blocked by Brian's back, and he couldn't see the movements of his hands.
"Hey, Brian, what are you doing?" Xu An asked.
Brian turned and pointed to what he was doing and then to the wall, but he didn't speak.
Xu An saw that he was holding an iron bar in his hand, and he had already drawn several deep traces on the wall with the iron bar, which made Xu An a little puzzled: "What are you doing?" β
Brian didn't speak, pointing to his mouth and then to Xu An.
Xu An was speechless, he turned over and sat up, and said, "Okay, Brian, I apologize to you for the attitude just now, I was just in a bad mood, I didn't think I would go to jail, I was too irritable, sorry buddy." β
Brian laughed at this time, beckoned Xu An to come over, and said like a child: "Most prisons in the United States are decades old and in disrepair, I want to see if I can escape!" β
βWHATοΌβ Xu An was dumbfounded, prison break? Breaking out of prison for 1 year and 2 months in prison? "Dude, are you crazy? Just this iron bar in your hand? Where did you get this thing? β
"One of my fans gave it to me when I was out of the wind, let me protect myself!" Brian smirked, "I'm just trying, you see, the quality of this wall is really not good, I might be able to get it through slowly!" β
Xu An was speechless, eager to scold this idiot for a few words: "What are you doing through this wall?" Moving to the prison next door? And just rely on this iron bar, and you should be released after you get through, right? β
"Who knows?" Brian threw the iron bar in his hand under the bed and said indifferently: "Isn't it all played like this in movies, those criminal geniuses always use all kinds of means to escape from prison, and I just want to try, it's too boring, I'll go crazy if I don't find something to do!" β
Xu An shook his head and went back to bed, he found that Brian was like a child who had not grown up, always liked to do something unexpected and like to attract the attention of others.
Thinking about his usual behavior, he is completely like a child who attracts the attention of adults.
Brian took the opportunity to lean over and asked, "Ann, what do you do?" β
"I used to be a journalist, I'm writing now, and today is the day my first book goes on the market." Xu An said melancholy that he was imprisoned when his first book was released, and whether he could be released from prison early or not, he would miss the entire new book period.
The first book, never again.
"Then you're so pathetic." Brian said with deep sympathy, "I spent the first day of my first album release at the police station, but fortunately I was released on bail by the lawyer the next day, and I didn't do anything for the rest of the day, I followed my new album all day long, media reviews, sales, fan feedback, tsk, it was so simple at that time!" β
Xu An glanced at him, simple? If I'm not mistaken, this guy has been a topic of conversation since his debut, and he is in constant trouble, I really don't know when he was innocent!
Brian didn't know what Xu Anxin was thinking, and said to himself: "Getting back to the point, can you teach me kung fu?" β
"Can't!" Xu An refused without hesitation, "You are too old, and my kung fu is not passed on." β
"I'm only 31 years old, you say I'm old?!" Brian exclaimed incredulously.
"Well, you should have started practicing at the age of seven or eight, you're too late." Xu An nodded.
Brian was disappointed, but his mind jumped quickly, and he immediately crossed the topic and continued to ask, "What book did you write?" β
"A ...... Well, the novel, a novel about love and family, I think I'll get a sample book soon, and I'll show you when the time comes. Xu An said.
"OK, I'm looking forward to your masterpiece!" Brian said insincerely.
The two chatted like this, Xu An found that Brian was not bad, not exactly the bad boy rumored to be the outside world, and Brian also let down his guard against Xu An, he felt that this guy was at least not as violent as he appeared.
