I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

In the few days since having an assistant, Cheng Che has clearly felt that his life has become much easier.

Previously, when coordinating with the production team, I had to add the staff's contact information myself, confirm the itinerary myself, and book a car to the airport or high-speed rail station myself.

But now all these things are left to Xiaotang, and he just needs to lie down and wait for the notification to board the plane.

Just like now—

Xiao Tang: Brother Che, our flight is at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Your seat is next to Sister Xiao Tian's, so don't oversleep.

Xiao Tang: Also, remember to post the update of "Dragon Raja" on time tonight.

Cheng Che: What are you saying? Do you think I'm such an unreliable person?

Cheng Che was very dissatisfied.

Xiao Tang: Brother Che, you're right, but you overslept the day before yesterday, which caused a delay in the update of Long San, and the readers almost bombarded your book review section.

Xiao Tang: When the editors of Deadly Blade and Chief Editor Bai Ye couldn't find you, they called me directly.

Xiaotang: Later, I called you more than a dozen times but couldn't wake you up. I was so scared that I thought you had been assassinated by some reader and almost called the police.

Xiao Tang: Cheng Che's eyes hold Lu Mingfei.jpg.

Cheng Che: You're being a bit too talkative, Xiao Tang. Also, who gave you permission to post your boss's meme during work hours?

Cheng Che: I'll deduct 100 yuan from your salary.

Xiao Tang: Boss, I've only worked for you for two and a half days, and you've already deducted almost a thousand yuan from my pay.

Xiaotang: At this rate, if I become your assistant, I might not only not get a salary, but I might even have to pay you out of my own pocket.

Cheng Che: Really? That's a good thing!

Cheng Che: Did you say thank you?

Xiaotang:……

Xiao Tang: Lu Mingfei is hidden in Xiao Tang's eyes.

She felt that the readers' desire to assassinate Cheng Che might not be entirely due to his killing off of Xia Mi.

Because she suddenly had the urge to smear a bag of mangoes on his face.

……

the next morning.

The third episode of "Random Notes" is about to start filming, and Cheng Che sits down in an aisle seat on the plane.

Tian Xiwei arrived just as she fastened her seatbelt.

"Good morning." Tian Xiwei sat down next to him.

"Good morning, cat." Cheng Che used the Eagle Hook Warrior.

"You seem to be in good spirits?"

"Full of energy."

"Let me guess why..." Tian Xiwei narrowed her eyes and tapped her chin with her finger, "Is it because Long San's new chapter last night made many readers cry again?"

"As expected of someone who possesses mind-reading abilities, you saw right through me at a glance." Cheng Che clapped lightly.

"Not at all," Tian Xiwei proudly raised her chin.

"By the way, Brother Che." At this moment, Xiao Tang's voice drifted from the front seat.

As his assistant, she would naturally fly with Cheng Che to the recording location of the third stop of "Comic Notes".

Sitting next to her was Sister Zhang.

"I have something to report to you about Dragon Raja," Xiao Tang continued. "Just now, Dragon Raja climbed to tenth place on the trending topics list again, achieving the feat of becoming the second online novel to break into the top ten of Weibo's trending topics list."

As Zero's assistant, it's perfectly reasonable for her to pay attention to the fact that "Dragon Raja" is trending on social media, right?

"Oh? Is that so?" Cheng Che was slightly surprised.

He himself has indeed been in the top ten trending topics far too many times, so he's gotten used to it.

Dragon Raja has trended on social media quite a few times, but it has only ever made it into the top ten trending topics once, specifically when Dragon Raja 2 had just ended.

But upon closer reflection, it's not hard to understand why last night's update was able to break into the top ten trending topics again.

With only a few minutes left before takeoff, Cheng Che took out his phone, opened Weibo's trending topics, and immediately spotted the tenth-ranked entry.

Tian Xiwei also tilted her head and leaned closer to look at his phone screen—

Do you call her Little Dragon Girl?

Yes, as the plot progresses, last night Cheng Che wrote about the ace trio diving to a depth of 8,400 meters in the deep sea, where the submarine suddenly encountered a problem.

At the critical moment when Caesar and Chu Zihang were preparing to sacrifice themselves to fight for the life of Lu Mingfei, the little raccoon.

The following conversation took place between Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei—

"Senior brother, do you like Little Dragon Girl?"

"You call her Little Dragon Girl?"

In this world, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang had already made it into the top ten trending topics once.

In addition, Cheng Che's previous videos on Douyin (TikTok) have made Xia Mi's popularity in this world ridiculously high.

With all these factors combined, it's only natural that it has once again made it into the top ten trending topics.

"Guys... I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore. I've never actually gone out before, never (bursts into tears)."

"My senior brother didn't say whether he liked it or not, but the first person he thought of was her. He asked that question because he probably wanted to hear her story from Lu Mingfei again (tears streaming down his face)."

"It's just eight words, but those eight words contain a turbulent storm, hiding the most important story of a boy's youth..."

"Senior brother, when you recall everything about that girl at this moment—her monstrous face, her smile like summer flowers, her silvery laughter… even you would feel heartache."

"I want that thief dead!!"

……

Cheng Che's lips curled up uncontrollably.

Oh dear, seeing readers break down in their defenses is such a wonderful thing!

Why hasn't he retired from the workforce yet, even though he has already achieved great success and financial freedom?

Besides genuinely liking "Dragon Raja" and wanting to share the story with more people, there's also the reason of wanting to see others break down.

After all, the smile won't disappear; it will only transfer from the reader's face to the author's.

Cheng Che was engrossed in watching when he received a light tap on the shoulder.

"You're still laughing." Tian Xiwei glared at him, annoyed. "I cried last night too, my eyes were all red, and they were still a little swollen this morning."

She also likes Xia Mi and is a staunch Xia Mi fan.

After saying that, Tian Xiwei pointed to her eyes.

Cheng Che took a closer look and found that there was indeed a little bit of redness and swelling.

"Didn't you feel bad when you wrote it? What were you thinking at the time? Can you really sleep at night after writing something like this?" Tian Xiwei asked three soul-searching questions.

Cheng Che thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "I felt a little uncomfortable, but not much; I was really looking forward to it because I was sure my readers would break down their defenses; I slept very well last night."

"...?"

Tian Xiwei was so angry that she wanted to turn into a vampire and bite Cheng Che's neck to death.

Listen to what he's saying! Is that something a human being should say?

Is he really human?

"Of course!" Cheng Che felt as if he could read minds, seeing right through her thoughts.

"Of course I am a human being, a person with dignity."

Tian Xiwei slapped her again.

In the front row, Xiaotang and Sister Zhang exchanged a glance when they saw this scene.

The former thought to herself that she had to get along well with the boss's wife.

The latter thought to himself, "Looks like I don't have to worry about the cabbage being bullied by the pig."
