Luan Walter was immediately furious.

Okay, okay, professional discrimination, right? This time I have to file a lawsuit with the United Nations!

After a tiring journey all the way back to New York, Lin Chaoyang and Luan Walter took a night's rest first.

When the two met the next day, Luan Walter said excitedly: "Lin, it's true. I went back and checked last night. The sales volume of "The Old Man and the Sea" in the United States was really 5.3 million copies."

"That's right, why are you so surprised?"

"It's nothing, I just think this number suddenly makes sense!"

The two chatted all the way to the Random House building. Originally, Lin Chaoyang planned to chat with Jason Epstein.

As a result, he was intercepted halfway by the enthusiastic Alberto Vitale.

He was very excited when he heard about the topic of Lin Chaoyang's novel this time. Anyone with a sense of news knows that

As long as the quality of such a subject is high, it is almost a guaranteed bestseller.

If you add Lin Chaoyang's appeal among readers and Random House's publicity, Alberto Vitale is happy and he seems to have seen the novel selling well.

In order to allow Lin Chaoyang to devote himself wholeheartedly to the creation of new works, Alberto Vitale specially arranged an apartment for him near 73rd Street, which can be said to have spent a lot of money.

After chatting for a few moments with Alberto Vitale, the two separated. Lin Chaoyang asked Luan Walter: "Does your publishing house provide apartment accommodation services?"

"Stop having sweet dreams. This is just a way for that guy to win people's hearts. He sees that your new work has the potential to be a big hit." Luan Walter said.

Lin Chaoyang joked: "Then if the sales of this novel crash, he won't ask me for money, right?"

"It's all paid for by the company, whatever he wants. But it's impossible for you to want this kind of treatment in the future. Even if you come to the company in the future, he will pretend not to know you."

"So true!"

The two exchanged a few words and met with Jason Epstein again. After chatting about their trip to Texas, Luan Walter took the opportunity of sending Lin Chaoyang to his apartment to skip work.

The Upper West Side is where New York's old money lives, surrounded by countless magnificent buildings.

Walking north along Broadway and past 73rd Street, there stands a Beaux Arts-style building with a grand and orderly appearance.

This is the apartment that Alberto Vitale arranged for Lin Chaoyang - Ansonia.

One of the largest apartments in the entire Upper West Side, it was built in 1904. It had the largest indoor swimming pool in the world at the time, and there were seals in the lobby fountain.

Many old-time musicians and writers lived here, such as Enrico Caruso, Toscanini, Dreiser and others.

Later generations also lived in such stars as Angelina Jolie and Natalie Portman.

Alberto Vitale arranged a two-bedroom apartment for Lin Chaoyang. The area of ​​110 square meters was quite large for him personally.

"Although that guy is stingy, he is still very smart when it comes to benefit.

Ansonia is most famous for its good sound insulation, so you don’t have to worry about being affected by noise when you write here.”

After touring the apartment, Luanne Walter said.

After helping Lin Chaoyang settle down, he left.

Near evening, Lin Chaoyang dialed Xiangjiang's phone number.

He went to Texas for more than a week and had no contact with his family during this period.

After making a call, Tao Yushu happened to be planning to go to the United States for a business trip, so Lin Chaoyang told her the address of the apartment.

After chatting for a long time, Lin Chaoyang hung up the phone. In the blink of an eye, he had been away for more than half a month. He was a little homesick and was looking forward to Tao Yushu's arrival.

It's a pity that Tao Yushu has to go to Los Angeles first. She came to the United States on a business trip this time mainly to see the filming of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2".

Last year's release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a huge success, and Lam Pictures and New Line Cinema took advantage of the situation.

They collaborated again to develop "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2". Now that the filming of the movie is coming to an end, Tao Yushu came here just to see the quality of the movie.

After all, this is the current cash cow of Lam Films!

During the few days waiting for Tao Yushu's arrival, Lin Chaoyang did not rush to write a new work. Instead, he remembered the column he had promised Robert Gottlieb.

That day, when he made a divine appearance in front of Gottlieb's family, he actually used the narration from "A Bite of China" and mixed it with his own personal understanding of Chinese food. Unexpectedly, the effect was so outstanding.

Since the effect was good, Lin Chaoyang simply continued writing along this path.

However, "A Bite of China" is a documentary, with images and narration, making the effect more intuitive.

In order to write these contents, he had to go even further in describing the details, and he also had to correct some aspects of the original narration that were inappropriate for today's times.

This is the first time Lin Chaoyang has written a food article, but he has read a lot, both ancient and modern, and has covered a wide range of topics.

Moreover, he has been studying cooking skills intensively over the years, and his knowledge reserve in this area is indeed far beyond ordinary people.

When I first started writing articles, I was a little uncomfortable, but it didn't take long for me to write smoothly. On average, I published an article in two days.

Five or six days passed like this, just as he was preparing to write his fourth article.
Chapter completed!
