Chapter Twenty-Three: Lao Tzu is not afraid

A fire was burned yesterday, and today Xiao Cheng will be punished. Early in the morning, it was not yet 7 o'clock, and Xiao Cheng had not woken up yet. Cao Weidong, the general manager of the Huaxia Bookstore in the magic capital, called and said that because a press conference was held before the signing meeting in Yangcheng, and the signing meeting in the magic capital did not have this plan, the reporters in the magic capital were dissatisfied, how could they be so favoritism? They strongly demanded a press conference.

Faced with the request of this group of uncrowned kings, Cao Weidong couldn't resist, so he had to find Xiao Cheng, who let this kid make such a big scene.

Xiao Cheng thought about it for a while, and knew that he would definitely not be able to avoid it, so it was better to burn the fire a little more, and he didn't care how far it burned.

The future is the world of the Internet, this is undoubted, his foundation is on the Internet, so no matter how much trouble the literary world makes, he can't hurt the fundamentals. If you should support him, he will still support him, and if he doesn't like him, he won't lean over with a straight face.

However, after such a fuss, his popularity has increased greatly, and it is beneficial and harmless. So he agreed to Cao Weidong and held a press conference.

Packing up Lisuo, Xiao Cheng came out of the room, and Li Shan and Liu Rumeng were already waiting for him.

Li Shan's mood at this time was very complicated, he couldn't be sure of Xiao Cheng's attitude, so the more popular "The Legend of Wukong" was, the greater Xiao Cheng's influence, and the more he felt that Xiao Cheng was out of control.

In today's Xiao Cheng, the 5 million liquidated damages can't have any impact on him at all, judging from the sales on the first day, the 18% royalty alone is enough for three 5 million.

If Xiao Cheng is lost, what will happen to Chenguang Chinese Network? Li Shan could already imagine the horror of that scene. But he was helpless, the tricks he played before had been known to Xiao Cheng, and the two sides were now coldly treated because of the signing meeting. Once the signings are over, it's time for a showdown. So he wanted to find a way to repair the relationship between the two parties before the signing session ended.

Liu Rumeng is a little worried, although this turmoil has played a role in promoting "The Legend of Wukong", she is not a short-sighted person. Xiao Cheng is only sixteen years old this year, and he is talented and sharp. But he still has a long way to go, and it is easy for such a character to suffer in the future.

For Yu Gong, Yangcheng Publishing House finally found such a good seedling with the potential of a top writer, and naturally did not want him to die early.

Privately, Liu Rumeng has a good impression of Xiao Cheng, of course, it is not the kind of love between men and women, but an appreciation of Xiao Cheng's talent. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and the words of the ancients are not unreasonable.

Liu Rumeng saw Xiao Cheng come out, and said with a smile: "How was your rest last night?" ”

"It's good, sleep until dawn." Xiao Cheng replied casually.

"Wait a minute, there's going to be a press conference, you have to pay attention to your words." Liu Rumeng reminded.

For Liu Rumeng, Xiao Cheng really has a good impression, although he has Ji Qingyue in his heart, but man! There's always a little bit of caution. Wen Yan nodded, signaling that he understood.

There is no square in front of the Huaxia Bookstore in the magic capital, so the press conference was held in the lobby of the Huaxia Bookstore, and the Huaxia Bookstore deliberately emptied a space of 200 square meters. A row of tables was set up in front of him to serve as Xiao Cheng's seat. Dozens of folding chairs are placed opposite, reserved for journalists.

At 9:30, the press conference was held on time, as soon as Xiao Cheng appeared, the flash light blinded his eyes, fortunately he was prepared, squinted his eyes slightly, and followed Cao Weidong and Li Shan to the table and sat down.

Who do journalists like the most? Of course, it is a person like Xiao Cheng who is full of topics, "The Legend of Wukong", a sixteen-year-old writer, who has a girlfriend in early love, dropped out of school to write, and someone spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy and bombard the literary world. It's all hot topics lately, and journalists don't like him, who do they like?

So as soon as they saw Xiao Cheng sit down, they began to ask questions without waiting for Cao Weidong to speak.

"Xiao Cheng, what kind of thoughts did you have when you published the article "Literature is Dead" yesterday?"

"Xiao Cheng, the Internet said that this is your counterattack to the literary world, do you agree?"

"Cheng Yuntian, vice president of the Huaxia Writers Association, publicly stated last night that he expressed disdain for your remarks, thinking that you are sensationalizing, intending to hype, and making you responsible for your remarks, what do you have to say about this?"

"Niu Da, secretary general of the Writers' Association, published a podcast, saying that you are a yellow-mouthed child, hairless on your mouth, unable to speak firmly, and squirting feces all over your mouth, what do you think?"

The scene was very noisy, Xiao Cheng didn't speak, just sat quietly, drank saliva from time to time, and waited until the reporters were quiet a little, Xiao Cheng spoke: "Reporters, I know what you want to ask, because of the problem of time, I won't answer them one by one, I will answer your questions with an article." The title of the article is "The Petrel": "

On the vast sea, strong winds gathered dark clouds. Between the clouds and the sea, the petrel flies proudly like black lightning.

One moment its wings touched the waves, the next it rushed straight into the clouds, and it cried,—— and in the brave cries of the birds, the clouds heard joy.

In this shout - full of longing for the storm! In this shout, the clouds heard the power of anger, the fire of passion, and the confidence of victory.

The seagulls moaned, moaned,—— moaned and groaned before the storm, and they flew over the sea, trying to hide their fear of the storm in the depths of the sea

The wind roars...... Thunder roared......

Piles of dark clouds, like cyan flames, burned on the bottomless sea. The sea seized the bolts of lightning and extinguished them in its own abyss. The shadows of these lightning bolts, like fiery snakes, swam in the sea and disappeared in a flash.

- Tempest! The storm is coming!

This is the brave petrel, in the roaring sea, in the midst of the lightning, flying proudly; Here is the prophet of victory shouting:

- Let the storm come harder! ”

A "Haiyan" made the reporters in the audience feel like they were beaten with chicken blood, they didn't expect Xiao Cheng to respond with an article.

Xiao Cheng really deserves to be Xiao Cheng, who can write "The Legend of Wukong", can casually say such a wonderful and passionate article, just this article, it is worth the trip. Besides, even if this article was prepared in advance, it didn't take more than two days after the incident happened, and Xiao Cheng's literary accomplishment can be imagined if he was able to write such an article that is enough to be handed down in two days.

It's just that the article is good, but the moral of this is to say so, this is a clear warning to the people in the literary world, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, if there is a kind, come, kill that and bury that.

The fans at the scene applauded even more, awesome! Sure enough, he is the author of "The Legend of Wukong", so he should have the momentum to dare to open his eyes and break the rules.

Most of the people who like to surf the Internet are young people, what do young people like the most? They like freedom the most and do whatever they want, so they rebel. Xiao Cheng is their idol, not afraid of heaven and earth, and dares to fight against the rules of the world.

So they prefer "The Legend of Wukong" and prefer Xiao Cheng.

Some good deeds copied "Haiyan" and uploaded it to the Internet, and some directly posted videos.

On the Internet, which had just experienced a 12-magnitude earthquake, a storm immediately ushered in, and it was a "Haiyan" that brought this storm.

And Xiao Cheng, who poured a barrel of oil on the fire, waved his hand and swaggered his signature, and the wind was light.
