Chapter 30 is trending again.
The overwhelming popularity of the offline book signing event for "Covering the Sky" was something no one had anticipated.
There were too many people, resulting in a shortage of physical books and manpower. Manager Zheng from the operations department quickly gathered company staff to help and asked someone to bring the books over as soon as possible.
Several editors in the editorial department were asked to help out.
Guan Hai stood inside the venue, helping to maintain order. The scene of the huge crowd filled him with emotion: "Covering the Sky is too powerful. Once Xu An finishes writing Covering the Sky, the company will definitely sign him to a top-tier author contract."
The original plan was to hold a symposium in the afternoon.
Due to the overwhelming number of fans, the symposium had to be postponed until tomorrow.
It starts at 2:30 pm.
Xu An was like a robot, never stopping for a moment.
While signing an autograph for a girl dressed in cosplay, he noticed that she was shivering from the cold, and goosebumps were clearly visible on her exposed arms.
Noticing this, Xu An frowned slightly.
He stopped what he was doing, stood up, and glanced at the long queue.
Many of the fans dressed in cosplay outfits were dressed rather lightly.
And then it started raining outside.
Xu An felt a chill while signing autographs.
He immediately called Xiaojia over.
"How many people are still inside the venue?" Xu An asked.
"There are probably more than two thousand people left," Xiaojia replied.
"Here's what you'd like: have someone go to the nearby milk tea shops and buy some hot milk tea, and set the price at fifteen yuan per cup."
"Give every fan in the venue a cup, and I'll reimburse you for it."
Xiao Jia was taken aback when Xu An said this.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing: "Mr. Xu An, are you sure? There are still more than two thousand people inside the venue."
Even if it's fifteen yuan per person, it's still a considerable expense.
"It's alright, you can arrange for someone to go." Xu An waved his hand, telling her to take care of it.
Xiao Jia had no choice but to report to her supervisor, Manager Zheng.
Upon hearing this, Manager Zheng was secretly amazed; it was indeed the young man who had the courage.
He immediately asked Xiaojia to take a few colleagues out to buy milk tea.
Since the leaders had all agreed, she had no choice but to comply.
So Xiaojia and her colleagues split up, each set a quantity, and then each found a milk tea shop to make the drinks.
"Hello, what would you like to drink?" the girl wearing a mask asked gently.
"I want this, hot," Xiaojia said, pointing to the milk tea on the order counter.
"Okay, fifteen yuan," the girl said.
"I want five hundred cups," Xiao Jia said.
"What?" The girl thought she had misheard.
"I want five hundred cups of this milk tea," Xiaojia said confidently.
These words surprised the men and women waiting for their milk tea, and they all turned to look at her.
Backstage, the people responsible for making milk tea paused, turned around, and looked at Xiao Jia at the door in disbelief.
"When you're done, help me pack the boxes. I'll bring some people to pick them up in a bit," Xiaojia said.
The girl taking the order took out a calculator, calculated the price, and numbly pressed the payment button.
......
One box after another of milk tea was brought back.
Xu An picked up the microphone, "Ahem, please be quiet for a moment."
"The weather has been a bit cold lately, and I've seen quite a few girls in cosplay outfits shivering from the cold."
"I'm a little worried because I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, and then I'll be the one who's guilty."
"I had someone buy some hot drinks. They're located on the far right of the venue. Each person is limited to one drink. Everyone can go and get one; the staff there will distribute them."
"Have some hot drinks to warm yourself up, so you don't catch a cold."
"Thank you for coming to this book signing event."
As soon as Xu An finished speaking, the fans who were still in line shouted excitedly.
"The trendsetter is awesome!"
"Old thief Chasing Wind, you're practically my god."
"As expected of my favorite author, they really spoil their fans!"
Xu An smiled. Although his wrists were very sore, he persisted, experiencing both pain and pleasure.
As I said before, since everyone is giving Xu An so much face, he naturally has to give them face in return.
We are all the same; no one is more noble than anyone else, and no one owes anyone anything.
If I had to say, it's Xu An who "owes" everyone.
The offline autograph session didn't officially end until it was almost evening.
Xu An felt that his wrist no longer belonged to him, and he never wanted to participate in such autograph sessions again in his life.
Inside the venue, a few scattered fans were walking out with newly signed books in their hands.
Some staff members are responsible for the finishing touches.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu An," Manager Zheng said with a grateful expression as he walked over with his entourage.
"It was really tough." Xu An smiled wryly. He raised his hand and shook his sore and weak hand. "Don't ever call me to these kinds of events again. I never want to hold a pen again in my life."
Manager Zheng laughed out loud, his tone filled with emotion: "We really didn't expect so many people to come."
"Conservatively speaking, at least tens of thousands of people attended the book signing event."
"This is the most attended and most successful book signing event we've ever held on our website in recent years."
As he spoke, Manager Zheng looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said, "Mr. Xu An, after this event, the higher-ups will definitely contact you to sign a new contract."
"The deal with the top player is a done deal, congratulations in advance."
"Ugh, I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to ask, when are we going to eat?" Xu An said casually.
"Haha, come on, come on, I've already made a reservation. We'll give you, our great hero, a proper celebration tonight."
-
Fire again.
The offline book signing event for "Covering the Sky" was undoubtedly a huge success.

Many comments were posted in the comments section below, and many of them were fans who attended the autograph session.
"Covering the Sky is a great read, the author of the novel is very handsome, and the milk tea is delicious too."
"I went to the autograph session today wearing my cosplay outfit. I didn't expect it to rain and be so cold. When I was shivering from the cold, a cup of milk tea from the streamer Zhuifeng warmed my whole body."
"This is the kind of author we should support! He paid for his fans to drink milk tea out of his own pocket. There were so many people at the venue at the time, and one cup per person is not a small amount of money."
"Chasing the Wind is such a fan-favorite, I'm going to be a fan of his forever."
"You fans are happy, but I'm a milk tea shop employee. Do you know how much 500 cups is? My hands and feet can't stop for a second. Making 500 cups in one go, I never want to make milk tea again in my life. I'm quitting tomorrow! (bursting into tears)"
"Pfft, please forgive me, I didn't mean to laugh out loud, I just couldn't help it."
"People's joys and sorrows are different. I am also an employee of one of the stores, and my hands are getting weak right now."
"By the way, has anyone tallied up how much money 'Chasing the Wind' spent on spoiling his fans this time?"
"Thank you for the invitation. I was one of the staff members at the autograph session. I bought a total of 2326 cups of milk tea. Each cup of milk tea was priced at 15 yuan, so I spent a total of 34890 yuan."
