Xu Fan then asked, "And what is the second point?"

Zhao Feiyang replied on the phone: "Secondly, if someone buys a ticket but doesn't attend, they will be permanently banned from attending your concerts and from buying tickets again. Of course, they can apply for a refund from our official channels, but it must be within the specified time frame to ensure that we can sell your refunded tickets. A refund fee will be charged for refunds."

After saying this, Zhao Feiyang said, "I believe we can not only implement this in Scotland, but also in other countries. At that time, I believe everything will be much easier."

Hearing this, Xu Fan nodded and said, "This will indeed solve many problems. In that case, it's fine. When have you set the date for the second concert?"

When asked this question, Zhao Feiyang clearly thought for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "The preliminary time is next weekend, which is the third day after the second episode of The Coming One Season 2 ends."

Xu Fan knew that the second episode of The Coming One Season 2 was next Friday, and if it was over the weekend, there would be enough time.

So Xu Fan said, "No problem. Make sure all the passports of the accompanying staff are ready, and buy all the plane tickets in advance. We'll get up on time and leave on time."

Zhao Feiyang said, "Okay, I'll confirm it here, and then you can leave all these issues to me."

After saying this, Zhao Feiyang hung up the phone.

Xu Fan sat alone in his room, staring at his computer. There was still more than a week until the second season of The Coming One and the second show of his global tour. He could finally relax.

However, just when Xu Fan thought he could relax, a phone call shattered his dream.

The call was from editor Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu's first words were: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something important to tell you."

Xu Fan said, "Editor Xiao Gu, just tell me what's on your mind."

Xiao Gu said, "It's the Maodun Literary Prize we mentioned before. You've already confirmed that the Maodun Literary Center of the Chinese Literature Alliance is going to hold an award ceremony at 2 pm on Tuesday. Would you be able to come over then?"

Xu Fan asked, "Can I not go?"

Xiao Gu said, "As you know, the Maodun Literary Prize is the highest honor in our country's literary awards. My suggestion is that no matter what, you should make time to go, even if you have to wear a mask."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan said helplessly, "Then please, Editor Xiao Gu, just tell me directly that I have to go next time you say these things. Is that okay? If it is, of course I will choose not to go."

Xiao Gu felt helpless, when Xu Fan said, "Okay, I was just kidding. Since that's the case, then see you on Tuesday. Remember to send me all the details, including the location."

Xiao Gu excitedly agreed, and soon Xu Fan received the address and precautions from Xiao Gu's editor on WeChat.

Xu Fan glanced at it casually, got a general idea of ​​what it was, and then ignored the rest.

The location isn't too far; it's only a 20-minute taxi ride, so it'll be quite convenient whether you drive or take a taxi.

Therefore, Xu Fan didn't pay much attention to it, but this matter did mean that his few days of rest were over and he would have to get back to work.

Fortunately, we can still relax for a few days.

Xu Fan would either occasionally browse the internet or Douyin at home, or he would wear a mask and take a walk along the Huangpu River with Xiao Pu.

Unlike other celebrities, I am always followed by all sorts of people when I go out. It would be strange if I wasn't recognized.

Wherever I appeared, wearing a mask and with Xiao Pu, few people noticed, nor could they notice.

There are too many people in this world who wear glasses; it's impossible for everyone to be named Xu Fan.

What Xu Fan didn't know was that during this time, there had been someone, or rather a group of people, following him. However, these people's abilities were too well hidden, and Xu Fan was unaware of them.

Xu Fan was instantly shocked when he realized the system had issued a warning, and he and Xiao Pu quickly separated.

However, Xu Fan still couldn't find anything strange, which made him feel really helpless.

For several days in a row, Xu Fan did not find anyone following him, so he had no choice but to put the matter out of his mind.

That day, Leng Xiaogu called to tell him that he could go directly to the awards ceremony. Xu Fan had no choice but to put on a mask, go out, take a taxi, and head straight to the awards ceremony.

===Chapter 602 Physical Book===

This wasn't the first time Xu Fan had met editor Xiao Gu.

But when they met again, Xu Fan still wanted to say, "You're really beautiful."

An editor who usually works in an office, wearing a long red dress that flowed to the ground, still showed excitement when she saw Xu Fan from a distance.

Before Xu Fan could even greet her, Xiao Gu ran over excitedly and said, "Good morning, Mr. Xu, it's been a long time."

Xu Fan extended his hand and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Hello, Editor Xiao Gu, it's been a long time."

As I said before, it seems that many people like to call Xu Fan "Brother Fan," regardless of age. So after her initial excitement, Xiao Gu asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, may I call you Brother Fan?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Of course, you can just call me that whatever sounds right to you."

Xiao Gu smiled and said, "That's really nice. I originally wanted to call you 'One Dragon,' but I really felt that your pen name, 'Dragon Walking in the Mortal World,' was a bit uncomfortable, at least it made us feel a little uncomfortable when we communicated."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "No problem. By the way, I wanted to ask how many people will be showing up today."

Xiao Gu said, "These are all literary giants in our country. As far as I know, you are not only the youngest winner of this year's Maodun Literary Prize, but also the youngest winner of all Maodun Literary Prizes in history."

Xu Fan nodded seriously and said, "It's easy to get lucky."

Xiao Gu said, "Your novels are indeed very well written. Whether it's 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' or this book, 'The Old Man and the Sea,' I can feel the power of your writing. Even the writing style and techniques are completely different, and the stories are completely different, but they are still very enjoyable to read. I must admit that I am a huge fan of yours."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Gu said, "You're too kind. If it's convenient, could you please sign something?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Of course."

A notebook that had been prepared beforehand appeared in Xiao Gu's hands. She said excitedly, "After all, I chose it with care, so I will definitely keep it safe."

Xu Fan took it, signed his name casually, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, thank you."

After they finished speaking, the two walked into the venue.

Xiao Gu then asked, "Was the novel 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles' that you sent me later also written by yourself?"

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't write it?"

Xiao Gu shook his head and said, "Definitely not. Although the writing styles are slightly different, they are all in the same suspense genre but have completely different styles and content. To be honest, I really admire you."

Faced with Xiao Gu's constant praise, Xu Fan could only smile and say, "A good story only has meaning when more people read it."

Xiao Gu said, "Don't worry about that. We're already working hard to figure out how to promote it. I believe your new book, 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles,' will only get better and better."

After saying that, Xiao Gu suddenly spoke up again: "By the way, the physical edition of the novel 'The Old Man and the Sea' has been completed, but it hasn't been printed yet. It's in the proofreading process. Would you like to take a look?"

Xu Fan checked the time and asked in confusion, "When is the awards ceremony?"

Xiao Gu said, "There are about three hours left. This time, the publisher brought samples, which are displayed on the exhibition board inside. But the publisher also has other books. If you want to go see them, there will definitely be no problem with the time."

Hearing Xiao Gu's words, Xu Fan couldn't help but start thinking. He frowned and said, "In that case, let's go take a look. I'll see how the layout is."

Xiao Gu nodded and, after entering the venue, led Xu Fan to the side door. They walked out of the side door and into the distance, not forgetting to say, "The novel has more than 500,000 words in total. The masters selected for this year's Maodun Literary Prize read your book all night long, which is why we have this situation now."

Xu Fan smiled and nodded, and Xiao Gu continued, "It's just ahead."

Soon, led by Xiao Gu, Xu Fan arrived at a certain spot backstage, where a group of young people were sitting and discussing something.

Xiao Gu's arrival did not attract the attention of others, as did Xu Fan, who was wearing a mask.

However, as Xiao Gu walked over, she asked directly, "Hello, I'd like to ask if editor Zhao Yun is here?"

Someone replied, "They're inside. Please wait a moment, I'll call them for you."

After saying that, the man turned and went into the room. Xiao Gu said from the side, "Wait a moment."

Soon, the editor named Zhao Yun came out. When she saw Xiao Gu, she excitedly said, "Xiao Gu, what brings you here? What brings you here?"

Xiao Gu said, "Didn't you mention the book I sent you before? We've come over to check on things now."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun excitedly replied, "Of course, no problem. Please have some tea first, and then I'll take you there."

As she spoke, Zhao Yun looked at Xu Fan, who was wearing a mask. At first glance, she felt that he looked familiar, but after careful consideration, she really didn't know who he was.

So, he looked at Xu Fan somewhat nervously and asked, "Sir, do we know each other?"

Xu Fan shook his head, and Xiao Gu introduced, "This is the author of 'The Old Man and the Sea,' his pen name is 'Dragon Walking Among Mortals.'"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun was shocked and speechless. Her eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "You are Fan?"

Xiao Gu quickly shut up and whispered, "Don't make a sound, hurry up and get the samples so we can take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun was almost bursting with excitement and quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right out."

Xu Fan and Xiao Gu looked at each other in bewilderment. Compared to before, Zhao Yun's excitement was undisguised, and she practically ran back and forth.

Not long after, Zhao Yun ran out carrying her second uncle and placed the books in front of Xu Fan, saying, "Brother Fan, these are all ready. In other words, these books have basically met the conditions for being listed on the market."

Xu Fan took the book from Zhao Yun and examined it carefully. From the packaging and cover to the layout inside, everything looked very neat and tidy, unlike the impression he had when he first received the book.

Xu Fan's gaze swept across the book, from the text to the music, and then he revealed an excited expression, praising, "It's really good. Of these three, I suggest choosing the first one. It's better in terms of both the cover and the overall feel of the paper."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I've been hesitating. Since you like this style, then it's settled. Choose the first one. Don't worry about me, Brother Fan. I'll try to find it at all the demonstration points soon."

At this point, Zhao Yun continued, "We've priced the book at 45 yuan. Do you have any objections to the price?"

The price of 45 is actually not too expensive, considering it's a book worth four or five hundred thousand, and it's quite reasonable for the surrounding business environment. So Xu Fan nodded in agreement.

Just then, Zhao Yun whispered, "Brother Fan, could you sign this book for me? Just sign it on this book."

Before Xu Fan could react, Xiao Gu said from the side, "I want one too! I want one too!"

===Chapter 603 The Maodun Literary Prize===

Xiao Gu's clumsy behavior, which she had just signed, was already forgotten.

Because she saw the best place to get her signature, which was Xu Fa's book. Although it was not yet on the market, this special case seemed to be more meaningful.

Finally, Xu Fan signed his name on Xiao Gu and Zhao Yun's "books" and wrote a blessing, which marked the end of the meeting.

Having taken care of these matters, Xu Fan naturally didn't linger and followed Xiao Gu towards the awards ceremony venue.

At this moment, the awards ceremony venue was teeming with media, with countless media outlets waiting below the stage with all sorts of equipment.

Countless spectators were also present to watch this world-renowned awards ceremony.

It's worth noting that the Mao Dun Literature Prize is currently the most prestigious literary prize in China, and rumors have it that one of the winners this time is actually an online writer.

Therefore, everyone was looking forward to such a literary writer.

The scene was bustling with people; literary masters from all over the country had come here. Xiao Gu came on behalf of Qidian Chinese Network, mainly because one of the nominees for the Maodun Literary Prize was a contracted author of Qidian Chinese Network.

So, all things considered, Xiao Gu benefited from Xu Fan's influence.

However, Xu Fan did not actually intend to go on stage to accept the award this time; this matter needed to be kept secret.

However, Xu Fan was stunned when he arrived at the scene, because it was highly unlikely that he would go up wearing a mask, and with so many media reporters present, it was easy for them to reveal that it was him who went on stage.
