Chapter 460 Autograph Session
"That's not an exaggeration at all."
Zhou Yufan appeared on her other side at some point, his voice extremely low, "Look, who knows how many treacherous rats are hiding in the media area."
Fang Li turned her gaze and followed Zhou Yufan's line of sight.
Sure enough, they were in small groups, and some of them clearly had their eyes wandering around, which suggested something was wrong.
Fang Li only glanced around before discovering many familiar faces; at least those faces had appeared during the previous public opinion storms she had faced.
"Should I have someone remove those few who clearly have ulterior motives first?"
"It doesn't matter."
Fang Li held her coffee cup and took small sips, her expression calm. "How can things get lively if we chase away all the flies? Today, we're not afraid of anyone causing trouble."
Passing through the employee passage, the signing table was already set up.
On the giant poster, the words "The Dream Never Ends" gleamed in gold under the spotlights, with a silhouette of her profile below.
This is Fang Li's first physical book published from her online novels, so its significance is quite different.
Looking at it now, I feel a mix of excitement and agitation.
"It'll start in a little over an hour."
Fang Li wore a loose-fitting long dress today, with an apricot-colored suit jacket over it, looking gentle and calm yet exuding the competence of a professional woman.
Wen Yang helped her straighten her collar, saying, "Your senior and I will be by your side in a bit. Just focus on dealing with the fans; don't worry about anything else."
Where is Brother Tian?
Wen Yang glanced at the area with the most fans across the street: "He brought more than a dozen people, mainly responsible for security inside the venue. With him there, Yaoxing and Yu's people definitely can't hurt you."
Xu Fangli seemed to be deep in thought as she glanced across the hall.
They all knew that Yaoxing and the Yu family would definitely cause some trouble today, preferably ruining her autograph session and stirring up public opinion to smear her, in order to get out of their current predicament.
But Fang Li still didn't quite believe that they would hire someone to do something to harm her.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, unless they are very confident, this kind of thing is very likely to backfire. Neither Sheng Qianrui nor Yu Minghai are that stupid.
At 10:20, the host came on stage to warm up the audience.
Ten minutes later, when the atmosphere had been sufficiently hyped up and the anticipation had reached its peak, Fang Li slowly walked onto the stage.
When Fang Li walked onto the stage, the flashbulbs went off like a storm, followed by a deafening roar of cheers from the readers and fans below the stage that nearly lifted the roof off.
Wow! Little Pear Cat is actually a beautiful woman!
"That's Cat Pear! Isn't she CEO Xu from Star Pear Films?!"
"My God! The Great Dream is actually Mr. Xu's work!"
"Teacher Xu! Look here!"
"I love you, Kitty!"
......
Feeling the frenzy of the fans below the stage, Fang Li stood on the stage for a moment, and only after the sound gradually subsided did she bow to the crowd below the stage.
He took the microphone from the host and said, "Thank you everyone."
Those four simple words instantly silenced the entire room.
Fang Li's gaze swept gently over the people below, and she spoke in a clear and cold voice: "The book I started conceiving during my university years is called The Great Dream. However, I didn't actually start writing it until two years ago. Originally, it was presented as a script. Because I was unknown at the time, a script could not give it a good future, so I changed it into a novel and published it online for serialization."
As Fang Li spoke, the people below listened quietly.
She said, "I've been serializing 'The Dream Never Ends' online for more than half a year. I never thought that one day my work would be loved by everyone, and that I would meet everyone as Little Pear the Cat."
Fang Li recounts her initial motivation for creating this book and how she incorporated her own experiences into its creation.
After she finished her introduction, it was time for the Q&A session.
As expected, a reporter from *Culture Weekly* was the first to challenge him: "Mr. Xu, there are rumors that your book is actually plagiarized, and not only that, but you've also deliberately framed Yaoxing Media by claiming it as the original work. What's your take on this?"
These words caused an uproar at the scene.
Fang Li remained calm: "I believe the court will soon deliver a fair verdict on who plagiarized. I trust the law will not wrong an innocent person, nor will it let any person with a wicked heart escape punishment."
She looked directly at the reporter. "Next question."
"Mr. Xu, you just said that the original form of this book was actually a script. Does that mean you have plans to adapt 'The Dream Never Ends' into a film or television series?"
Fang Li glanced at Wen Yang below without making a sound.
Wen Yang raised an eyebrow. She instantly understood that this was a media arrangement she had made to deliberately draw out their next plan.
Fang Li replied, "Yes, we have already started a project about the story of 'The Dream Never Ends,' and the preliminary preparations are almost complete. If you are interested, you can follow our Xingli official website. I believe there will be official news about it soon."
After answering a few questions briefly, the signing process officially began.
Wen Yang and the others organized the group, and the team moved forward slowly.
"Big Cat Cat, I like you so much!"
"Thank you."
.......
"Little Pear, Little Pear, we will always support you!"
"thank you all."
Halfway through the book signing, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall.
Xu Fangli looked up and saw two tall figures in suits walking in from the entrance. Not only that, but they were also followed by more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits.
The bodyguards carried flower baskets and held up banners, and there were even more than a dozen huge roll-up banners.
Fang Li's lips twitched slightly, a moment of awkwardness passing by.
No wonder Jian Yunqi said those things last night. She should have guessed it long ago. Given his personality, what kind of unconventional surprise could he possibly have? More like a shock.
Wen Yang couldn't bear to look at it, and whispered in Fang Li's ear, "Wow, this is so tacky. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a store opening."
Fang Li hesitated for a moment before managing to keep a smile on her lips. "Regardless of him, it's all out of goodwill. Please help me receive him."
"rest assured."
"Mr. Jian, Attorney Deng, hello."
Wen Yang walked over, smiling and extending her hand to the two of them: "I am Fang Li's friend and also the vice president of Xing Li. Thank you both for making a special trip to support Fang Li today."
Deng Xiulin lightly squeezed Wen Yang's fingertips and nodded in return.
Jian Yunqi is different.
He started to show his peacock-like nature again, holding Wen Yang's hand and smiling smugly, "Miss Wen, right? Fang Li's friend is naturally our friend. We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Wen Yang couldn't help but smile, and pointed to the things behind her: "President Jian, what is this...?"
Jian Yunqi glanced back and said, "Oh, we agreed to support my sister, so of course I couldn't come empty-handed. This is just a small gift to show my support."
Wen Yang nodded and instructed the site manager to quickly tidy up those things.
Jian Yunqi added, "There's something else. I've read the book 'The Great Dream Never Ends,' and it has a great theme. As a work of youth literature, it's very educational. Our Mingde Academy is currently expanding its library collection and plans to order 100,000 copies. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
