This chubby boy was clearly a die-hard fan of Zhong Xiaoxing's books, deeply impressed by Zhong Xiaoxing's talent. He had long disliked the two of them for their flashy antics, like some kind of internet celebrity.
He felt that autograph sessions should be serious and proper, and that they would become vulgar once they were used by internet celebrities or something. He also felt that the fan culture should not be brought here.
Seeing the little fat boy's increasingly disdainful look, He Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have said that. Zhong Xiaoxing is the best."
He could understand the little fat boy's feelings.
Anyone would be furious if a stranger said, "I can write better than him," at a book signing event hosted by their favorite author.
However, He Chen's concession did not win the chubby boy's forgiveness. He stared at He Chen unfriendly and asked directly, "What is your pen name?"
He Jing: "?"
“Since you say you can write better than Mrs. Zhong Xiaoxing, you must have a pen name.” The chubby boy was not going to back down at all. “Tell me your pen name, I’ll search it up, and I want to see what makes you so confident in saying such a thing.”
He Chen remained good-natured: "I haven't registered yet, and the novel hasn't been published."
He spoke so calmly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with his answer.
The chubby boy was so angry he laughed. A writer who didn't even have a pen name... no, he could barely be called an author, and he didn't even have any works, yet he dared to confidently say that he could rival the literary bigwig, Mrs. Zhong Xiaoxing. He had absolutely no shame.
They even said it hasn't been published yet, which probably means it hasn't even been written.
He Jing knew what the chubby boy was thinking at a glance, and calmly defended He Chen: "My brother's novel is about to be published, and you will be able to see it soon. Although it is offensive, I think my brother has the potential."
In the original work, He Chen is undoubtedly the most outstanding young writer, whose works have swept the novel awards.
If it weren't for the fact that the novel about the real and fake heiresses is nearing its end, He Chen would be aiming straight for a prestigious literary award, a position that even Zhong Xiaoxing couldn't shake.
The chubby boy glanced at He Jing and saw that she was pretty. His words were obviously not as sharp as before, but his tone was still very bad. He said angrily, "He is your brother. Of course you have a filter when you look at him. Our Mrs. Zhong Xiaoxing used to live at the bottom of society. She wrote such a good work entirely by her own perseverance."
He Jing didn't know much about Zhong Xiaoxing's situation, and then He Chen explained, "Before becoming a writer, Zhong Xiaoxing was a food deliveryman."
It was because he accidentally bumped into a luxury car while delivering food and couldn't afford the repair costs that he started writing a novel, which resulted in the book "For the Dragon".
The chubby boy seemed to have been stung by a needle, and roared angrily again: "What's wrong with being a food delivery person? Do you look down on food delivery people?"
"Ah no... brother, don't be so sensitive," He Chen said, his head aching. "I'm just explaining to my sister."
The commotion caused by the three people attracted the attention of many onlookers.
He Jing didn't show any discrimination against deliverymen, and she didn't know why the chubby boy was so agitated. She gently comforted him, "I think Zhong Xiaoxing is a very remarkable person."
It is so difficult for a food delivery worker to become a writer.
Just like the He family, who were so poor, they gradually got better.
The chubby boy was once again soothed by He Jing, and he felt that the two siblings were sent by God to annoy him. The brother said something unpleasant, and the sister cleaned up his mess. Their back-and-forth made him extremely frustrated.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If you've got the guts, leave your name here!"
P.S.: "DaDa" and "TaoTai" are both terms for big shots. Why "TaoTai"? Because "TaoTai" is a bit more ruthless than "DaDa," hahaha.
