After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

Chapter 536: Journey to the West Released

At the end of the day, Zhang Zhongyi and Li Shuheng did not let Chen Shuren demonstrate his ability to quickly learn a certain skill in front of them.

It was enough to know that Chen Shuren was definitely not making fun of them.

"I didn't expect that I would meet a genius when I'm old."

Li Shuheng sighed.

It was originally thought that Chen Shuren was a Go genius, but his talent was wasted because he was born in the wrong place.

But later I realized that Chen Shuren had not wasted his Go talent.

Whatever job he does, his talent in that job is wasted!

"Now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, it's time for me to leave."

Chen Shuren stood up.

"Is it not a bother for you?"

Li Shuheng said rather embarrassedly.

"It's okay, my business is not urgent."

Chen Shuren said with a smile.

"No rush? Then play two more games?"

Li Shuheng pointed at the chessboard and said.

"..."

In the end, Chen Shuren did not play a few more games, but went straight back to the hotel.

Tang Yingcheng laughed after asking this question.

However, seeing that Chen Shuren resolved the conflict so quickly, he continued to come up with a plan.

"Shall we set off then?"

"lets go."

A group of three began their journey to Yuzhou.

……

a week later.

Qingzhou, Eternal Online Literature Department.

Qingyu excitedly entered Chen Shuangxue's office.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, I have finished proofreading the first 100,000 words of the vernacular version of Journey to the West."

"it is good."

Chen Shuangxue opened the email sent by Qingyu.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, is it going to be released?"

Chen Shuangxue smiled.

"It will be published, but not in vernacular Chinese. It will be in classical Chinese."

"Ancient Chinese version?"

Qingyu was stunned.

Since there is already a vernacular version, why do we need to publish a classical Chinese version?
Shouldn't the vernacular version be released first so that people can understand the story, and then the classical Chinese version be released so that all those who like the book can study it carefully?
Could it be that Chen Shuangxue was wrong?
But then, Chen Shuangxue confirmed her answer.

"Yes, it is the classical Chinese version. As for the vernacular version, I will get the first volume out and then have the printing department print it and distribute it in physical form."

"Ok?"

Qingyu was even more confused.

How come every step Chen Shuangxue took led him to a place he could never have imagined?

In Qingyu's opinion, the vernacular version should be published on the website, and the classical Chinese version should be regarded as an advanced version for readers to choose from.

But for Chen Shuangxue, the situation was completely the opposite. Why was this happening?

Chen Shuangxue saw the confusion on Qingyu's face, but she was not prepared to explain.

"Okay, Qingyu, you can continue with your work. Mu Da's typing speed is quite fast, so you can continue to proofread the ones you have on hand."

When Qingyu heard what Chen Shuangxue said, even though he had a lot of doubts in his mind, he had to suppress them.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Watching Qingyu leave, Chen Shuangxue shook her head.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to explain to Qingyu, but no matter how much she explains, it will be in vain if there is no actual effect.

Qingyu may not believe it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better not to explain at all. When the time comes, Qingyu will see the effect herself.

Chen Shuangxue had done this many times before, mostly for Mu Linsen's book.

And Mu Linsen's books never disappoint her.

Therefore, Chen Shuangxue is confident.

After that day, Chen Shuangxue hung a banner on the Wangu Literature website.

"The new book of Lin Sen, the supreme god in the novel world, is about to be released. It is a different fairy tale with a different protagonist. What are you waiting for? Come and support it!"

After the banner was hung, the hot search topics operated by Wangu Literature Network also followed directly.

If it is a topic written by other authors, the operations department will also need to supervise it to see what the subsequent situation is and whether it needs to be promoted again.

But when they heard it was from Mulinsen, the people in the operations department stopped worrying about it.

Many times in the past, they watched Mulinsen’s hot searches nervously, fearing that it would go up and fall off within half an hour.

As a result, not to mention falling down, the place would drop by ten or even dozens every half an hour!

They don't have to worry about it at all.

This was still the early days of Mulinsen. After the last two parts of the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy were released, they both reached the top in half an hour.

So there is a saying circulating in the operations department of Wan Gu Literature Network.

"As long as Mulinsen publishes books, I will definitely get this month's bonus, and I don't have to stay up late to check the data on the day the books are published."

Just after Wangu Literature Network released the news and the topic became a hot search.

Many long-awaited book fans immediately flocked to the Wan Gu Literature Network and entered the webpage that had a book introduction already created but no content.

"What's going on? Where's the book? How can you sell a book with just a cover?"

"That's right, I thought Muda's novel had already been released, but it turns out there's only one cover!"

"But why didn't Mu Da write the fourth part of The Legend of the Condor Heroes this time? I haven't seen enough!"

"Who said Journey to the West isn't the fourth part?"

"You are stupid! Didn't you see the banner saying this is a fairy tale novel? The Condor Heroes trilogy is a martial arts novel, which is far from it!"

"You are ignorant, right? Aren't the heroes above martial artists the immortal heroes? When martial arts reach perfection, isn't it like ascending to heaven on the spot and cultivating immortality?"

"…What you said makes so much sense that I can't even refute it!"

Countless netizens were discussing and commenting crazily in the book review section of "Journey to the West".

Even though these buildings are so crooked that they are almost as tall as my grandmother's house, they still enjoy doing it.

Many editors and important figures from established novel sites such as Lingdian and Yangfan are also paying close attention to this "Journey to the West".

Especially the Xianxia editor.

For example, Bu Anliang.

"Is Muda writing a fairy tale again?"

Bu Anliang looked at the banner of Wangu Literature Network and felt a little envious.

Fairy tale!
Recalling when "Zhu Xian" was still around, the Zero O'Clock Xianxia Department was so eye-catching.

Unfortunately, after Mulinsen and Wangu deepened their cooperation, "Zhu Xian" was removed from Lingdian Literature due to copyright reasons, and instead went to the newly established Wangu Literature Network.

Bu Anliang was very angry at that time.

But what’s the use of getting angry?

The book belongs to Mulinsen, and the copyright also belongs to Mulinsen. After all, Zero Point is just a platform.

Other authors have to rely on Zero Point, so when negotiating copyright with Zero Point, everything goes smoothly.

But for a hit like "Zhu Xian", the copyright negotiation has to be done the other way around, and the website has to curry favor with the author.

Unfortunately, Chen Shuren was not short of money, so the copyright of every novel was not sold.

Except for "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they were given to Zhang Guofeng and Gao Nanhua.

For other books, even those such as "Zhu Xian" that have been put on the shelves of Wan Gu, the copyright is still in the hands of Chen Shuren.

If Chen Shuren and Wan Gu have a good relationship, then the copyright will not be affected at all.

If the relationship suddenly deteriorates one day, Chen Shuren can take away all the books.

This is the face of the Supreme God.

Even so, do you think other novel websites will agree to Chen Shuren's request?

Of course I would agree!
Although Mu Linsen's books make a lot of money, he is only one person!
If Mulinsen earns one hundred yuan alone, the traffic he brings can make the website earn another hundred yuan, or even two hundred yuan!
Therefore, the website does not need to worry about Mulinsen’s share of the revenue. As long as it has traffic, it can make a lot of money.

"By the way, I heard that Qingyu went to Wan Gu. How about asking him?" Bu Anliang thought for a while and sent a message to Qingyu.

He thought he had a good relationship with Qingyu, so he asked Mu Linsen for the inside information of his new novel, and there was still some hope.

"Qingyu, are you there?"

Bu Anliang sent a message, but after five minutes, there was still no response.

Bu Anliang frowned and was about to say something else when he realized that Qingyu was no longer his subordinate.

No need to reply to his message immediately like before.

So Bu Anliang waited for ten minutes before he got a word.

"exist."

Looking at this word, Bu Anliang always felt that his inquiry this time might not go smoothly.

"Qingyu, are you doing well in Wan Gu?"

"It's good. Editor-in-Chief Xie Bu cares about me."

Seeing Qingyu's reply, Bu Anliang felt more confident.

"That's fine. I said that everyone who leaves our Zero Point is a talent, right?"

"Editor-in-Chief Bu, you are overpraising me."

"Haha, no no, I'm sincere."

"Thank you for the compliment, Editor Bu. But, Editor Bu, is there anything I can help you with? I'm quite busy here."

Seeing Qingyu say this, although Bu Anliang felt uncomfortable, he stopped beating around the bush.

"It's like this. Didn't Muda publish a book? I want to ask you how the book is. Have you read it?"

Bu Anliang asked with a smile.

"Oh, Muda's book, I read it."

Bu Anliang's eyes lit up.

"how?"

"I don't quite understand it. I have to look up a lot of things in the dictionary. There are some things I don't quite understand even if I look up a dictionary. I have to ask Mu Da himself."

Don’t understand?

Look up a dictionary?
Ask Mu Da himself?
Bu Anliang listened to these words, which became more and more unreliable, and always felt that Qingyu was playing tricks on him.

Could it be that there is really no feeling left after leaving the job?
Bu Anliang looked down upon Qingyu's character.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Bu Anliang didn't want to say anything more.

"alright."

After ending the topic with these two words, Bu Anliang called the Human Resources Department.

"Old Gao, I have a question."

"Isn't it that an editor under me left? Now he has joined the company. I want to ask, has the background check call come in?"

"No? Oh... It's okay. I just want to tell you that if the background check call comes, please come to me. I know that guy well. I will talk to their company."

"Okay, that's it then."

Bu Anliang hung up the phone and sneered.

Do you really think that I can't mess with you if you quit?

Just wait until I call you about your background check and see what I say to you!

Bu Anliang thought fiercely.

At this time, Qingyu had no idea that Bu Anliang was trying to trip him up because of this incident.

What he said is all true!

But even if Qingyu knew, she wouldn't be afraid.

Background check is the process for ordinary new employees, but Qingyu did not do that. He was directly recruited by the editor-in-chief.

Back tone?

When I came to Wan Gu that day, the interview with Chen Shuangxue was a background check.

Qingyu ended the chat box with Bu Anliang and opened other chat boxes that were still flashing.

Bu Anliang is just one of Qingyu's countless chat partners.

After Zizhong announced the release of Mu Da’s new book today, there has been no shortage of news about him.

If he didn't know how to make choices, he would know which ones are pretending to be close and which ones are truly close.

Otherwise he won’t be able to proofread, as all his time will be spent chatting!

That night, after Qingyu got off work, she received a call from her former colleague, saying that he wanted to have dinner and drinks with her.

Qingyu has been busy for several days and hasn't had much rest.

After thinking about it, I went.

"Hey, Editor Qingyu is here, come and sit down!"

"Qingyu, have you read Mu Da's book? Don't say you haven't read it! Isn't this the advantage we have as editors?"

Someone laughed and cheered.

But there are also people who protect Qingyu.

"You guys are stupid, Qingyu is not the editor of Muda, even if he can read it, it's only a few chapters, right?"

"That's right. No matter which company it is, it is impossible for more people to see the works of their own masters before they are released."

Everyone nodded, and then their curiosity about Qingyu diminished.

After three rounds of drinks, some people started complaining.

"I'm really fed up with this damn company. Qingyu, do you know? This time, they hired more than 20 editors at once. More than 20!"

"We only had 30 editors before, and Zero Point directly recruited two-thirds of our editors! What's going on? Are they preparing for a major change or expansion?"

"But that's nothing! What I can't tolerate the most is that new editors can get recommendations even if they sign obviously rubbish manuscripts. What about us? We have countless veteran authors, but we only get one recommendation every half a month. Are you kidding me?"

The angrier that person got, the more the others felt uncomfortable after hearing him.

"Then why don't you just quit like Qingyu?"

someone asked.

"Hey, you think I didn't think about it?"

"I'm telling you, I've been ready to quit for a long time. Unfortunately, nowadays, if you submit your resume to any well-known website, it will be ignored, let alone an interview."

"Those who are interested are all small websites. Who knows if they can survive for more than a year? If I go, wouldn't that be courting death?"

"So, we can't leave each other!"

At this point, the man looked at Qingyu and said, "Qingyu is still the best. No matter what job you do, go in first!"

As soon as that person said this, the faces of the people around him became a little strange.

It sounded as if Qingyu was destined to do odd jobs.

But even though they knew this, no one else said anything, wanting to see how Qingyu would respond.

To their surprise, Qingyu not only replied, but did so very seriously.

"Indeed, I was just a proofreader when I first arrived, and there were only two or three authors under me ready to publish books. It was really miserable!"

"But it's better now. We've passed the initial stage and are now on the right track."

Looking at the smile on Qingyu's face, the man asked again.

"So what are you doing now?"

“Oh, now, I’m proofreading!”

After these words were spoken, several old colleagues couldn't help laughing.

It seemed like the installation just now was quite similar, but when I checked it, I found out that it was still being proofread!

So, everyone stopped talking to Qingyu about Wan Gu.

After the group dispersed, everyone returned to their homes.

Just as I was about to take a break, I saw the hot news.

Mu Linsen’s book was really published.

The sleepiness was swept away, and Qingyu's old colleagues came one by one.

They all opened "Journey to the West" and started watching it.
