Ah, I just said that I received a recommendation notice for next week, and then I found out that it was the old version of the recommendation bit, which is really ...... I don't know if the big guy is using the new version or the old version to read the book.,Of course,The mobile client doesn't count.,That kind of high-end recommendation is definitely no fun for the time being.。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

………………………………………………………………

Looking at Lance's anxious and worried look, Xu An laughed, he was not ready to open a new book for the time being, the "Twilight" series would take a long time to prepare, and at the same time he had to write "Clash of Kings", "Twilight" needed to change the name, and "Kings" needed to echo the last two parts of the entire series, which was not easy.

Lance shook his head helplessly, in his opinion, Xu An was no different from other authors.

They are always heartless, there are always things that cannot be done, that is, they don't have time to write, and they are not in a hurry to write, sometimes even if they are in a hurry, but they just don't want to write, they don't want to write or can't write, but they don't know that readers are so eager to put a gun to their forehead and ask them to speed up.

Damn procrastination!

Almost everyone in this world is plagued by procrastination, but people like the author are definitely terminal procrastination, and God can't cure them!

"Ann, I know that such a work cannot be completed in a short period of time." Lance said helplessly, "I just hope you don't give it up, grab it when you have a flash of inspiration, and record it, I can even tolerate you writing slower, but don't make changes, just keep writing until you finish this epic, OK?" ”

"Of course, it's my brainchild too!" Xu An nodded.

"Alright then, let's take a look......" Lance shrugged, the writer's promise was never accurate, but he had no choice but to believe it, as he said, he sorted out the documents he had just scanned on his computer, and then packed them into his mailbox, "Upload, send...... OK, remember to send me a copy of the outline of the work, the copyright registration will be used, don't take it seriously, this is the most important thing, understand? And you just said that you want to hire a lawyer to take care of the contract matters, do you have a goal? ”

"I would like to hire a lawyer at House Law Firm." Xu An said.

"House Law Firm?!" Lance was startled, "Ann, are you crazy?" We simply can't afford to pay their attorneys, those guys are all vampires, and you know how much they cost in their lawsuit against the Beatles and Mercury in the newspapers last month?! ”

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the newspaper reported $26 million, and in fact the agency fee should be more than $30 million, but because there is no evidence, we only published a conservative number." "At that time, I was still working at the New York Times, and it was my colleagues who wrote the news, and we just asked them to deal with the legal terms of the contract, and it didn't cost much." ”

Lance said angrily: "Of course I know that it won't cost much, but the key problem is that with a small case like ours, House Law Firm won't take it at all!" ”

"No, no, no, they'll take it!" Xu An smiled, "One of the partners of House Law Firm is my grandfather's family friend, in fact, according to my mother, I have no other choice, unless I never see each other in the future, I can only choose House." ”

"Wow, I dare say there aren't a few authors who can afford to hire House people, they generally only deal with cases from large corporations!" Lance was amazed.

"Believe me, in the future, even if we don't rely on favors, we can still afford to hire a top lawyer!"

Lance snapped his fingers, then cleaned up, stood up and said, "OK, BOY!" For the sake of this great goal, you better hurry up and write, don't forget The Clash of Kings, and don't forget that there is still me, a loyal book lover, waiting for you! ”

"I promise, you'll see the end of this book in your lifetime!" Xu An teased.

Lance rolled his eyes, put on his coat and walked to the door: "Then goodbye man, "Lovely Bones" will be published as soon as next week, Boulder Langdon is very fast, their planned release date is next Thursday, you have to be ready, I'll bring you a sample book in two days." ”

Xu An stopped Lance and said, "Wait a minute, Lance, listen to me, you don't have to do this, you know, those reporters ......" He knew the price that Lance paid for the publication of this book as soon as possible, and he felt very sorry in his heart, once Lance agreed to be interviewed, he would definitely be exposed to the scars in his heart, it must be very uncomfortable!

"You mean those reporters ask embarrassing questions? It's okay, I said that is in the past and I can face it all. Lance said nonchalantly, he thought for a moment and said, "And I'm not for you, Ann, don't care about this, I'm just ...... Just trying to tell what happened to me so that more people can be more vigilant, maybe some tragedies will be avoided, and those who have been hurt like me need to see this book, it can help those people out of their grief, just like me! ”

Xu An nodded, what Lance said was the biggest gain he gained from writing "Lovely Bones", "Okay, do you need my help during the interview?" After all, I've been in a newspaper and have some experience dealing with reporters! ”

Lance smiled and waved his hand and pulled the door open, "Thank you for your kindness, Ann, I can handle it, you have to trust me!" ”

Looking at the closed door, Xu An was speechless for a long time, hoping that Lance's interview would go well, and those reporters would not ask some uncomfortable questions, although with his understanding of the profession of journalists, this possibility is not great, but Lance's situation is different, and now all the media hope to interview him, the most direct person, and the media selected for the interview should not be too embarrassed by Lance.

Looking at the closed door, Xu An was speechless for a long time, he didn't know if Lance had really walked out of the tragic encounter in the past, but at least he seemed to be in good shape, although there was sadness in his eyes, and his expression was a little tired, but he was very energetic.

Back at his desk, Xu An was about to continue finishing "Twilight" when the phone suddenly rang.

Xu An answered the phone while rearranging the manuscripts that had been scrambled by Lance: "Hey, Mom? ”

"Honey, do you have time to go home in the evening?" Catherine's voice came, still so gentle.

"Of course!" Xu An put down the manuscript in his hand and asked strangely, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"If you have time, come back with a decent outfit, and Mr. Swift's family will be visiting in the evening." Catherine said.

Xu An was even more strange and asked, "Mr. Swift?" Who's that? ”

"Mr. Swift is a partner of your father's company, and your father and I went to their house in the summer, and we are going back to invite each other today." Catherine said.

"Mom, since I didn't go when you went to visit, I don't have to go home now, right?" Xu An didn't want to go a little, this kind of occasion obviously wouldn't be fun, and it was purely a crime to go.

"You were busy graduating in the summer, and you didn't have time to go with us, and today Mr. Swift's children will be coming, and out of politeness, you should be there, otherwise they will be embarrassed." Catherine didn't give her son a chance to refuse, "Okay, that's it, just now you told me that I was free at night, and I was not allowed to make other excuses, and then dress handsomely, and there will be surprises at night!" ”

"Surprise? Can I not ...... Hey, hey? ”

Catherine had already decisively hung up the phone.
