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

The readers laughed.

Your copywriting has successfully caught my attention.

Out of respect for the official media, I'll refrain from commenting on your comments section for now.

But if your video doesn't match the caption, then your official certification won't stop my rage!

The video begins to play, starting outside the headquarters building of the Chinese website.

The weather was beautiful, sunny and breezy, and the glass curtain wall of the building reflected the clouds and light.

A young female reporter stood in front of the building, holding a microphone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaolin, a reporter from 'Getting Closer to Shanghai'." The reporter spoke clearly.

"Recently, our production team heard about a very interesting phenomenon on the streets of Shanghai—"

"No matter who you are, if you get tired or thirsty while walking around these streets, try sitting by the roadside for a while, and you might encounter a group of mysterious 'Mango Heroes'."

"Mango Man"?

Compared to the confusion of many casual readers, countless readers raised their eyebrows and instantly understood what was going on.

Many readers who had actually sent takeout to the Chinese website even stood up proudly.

They know about this!

They weren't at the scene, but they were definitely involved!

They had personally experienced that dark and hopeless battle, which lasted for a full month...

The video continues playing.

"The 'Mango Heroes' ride electric bikes with insulated boxes on the back, filled with mango drinks like mango pomelo sago."

"They'll stop and hand you a drink whenever you need it, like it's some kind of urban legend," Reporter Lin said with a smile.

"I'm sure many of you viewers are wondering the same thing I am: Why are they sending mango drinks? Do they have any ulterior motives? And... why mango drinks in particular?"

"After investigation, we finally found the answers to these questions, which are hidden in this building behind us."

Reporter Lin turned around and pointed to the building behind him.

"Now, let's go inside and take a look."

The camera followed reporter Lin into the building.

The next segment of the video was fast-forwarded, retaining only a few key shots: the front desk registration, the elevator doors opening, and a sign that read "Qidian Chinese Website" hanging on the wall of the corridor.

The elevator ascends, and the camera zooms in into a new corridor. Various posters hang on the walls on both sides, but the camera only flashes by them briefly.

I lingered for a full two seconds in front of a poster featuring two boys, one big and one small, standing back to back.

The scene shifts, and reporter Lin arrives in front of a conference room.

Reporter Lin knocked on the door, pushed it open, and the camera panned across the room—

A small table, a few single sofas, and two people sitting in the room.

A young-looking man, dressed in simple casual clothes, sat in a slightly relaxed posture, giving off a lazy vibe.

The other was a woman dressed in business attire, wearing thin-rimmed glasses, with a calm expression and upright posture, exuding the aura of a "career elite".

The two people, one relaxed and the other upright, formed a stark contrast.

Reporter Lin sat down in front of the two men and gave a brief introduction to the camera: "These two are the main 'involved persons' we found in this 'urban ghost story'."

"This is Bai Ye, the editor-in-chief of Qidian Chinese Network," reporter Lin introduced Bai Ye first.

Bai Ye looked at the camera and nodded slightly: "Hello everyone."

Reporter Lin then turned to the boy, "This one is a contracted author with Qidian Chinese Network, the youngest Black Gold author in history, Teacher Zero."

"Hi!" Cheng Che waved to the camera.

The readers instantly erupted in fury, gritting their teeth, wishing they could dive into the video and tear this guy apart alive.

Unfortunately, they didn't possess this conceptual-level capability, and could only helplessly flood the video with comments.

[You dam, you really did get killed by Genjiro!]

[You scoundrel, prepare to die!]

[Biya, that scoundrel is so damn handsome, young and good-looking... I'm really annoyed!]

[Such a sunny young man, it's a pity he's a psychopath; the degree of his psychological distortion is completely proportional to his good looks!]

"I have a few questions for you both," Reporter Lin said with a polite smile. "First, I'd like to ask Editor-in-Chief Bai Ye..."

Dear readers, please read on patiently. Reporter Lin asked Editor-in-Chief Bai Ye a few questions in a standard manner, and Bai Ye answered them in a standard manner as well.

Then the question-and-answer session became between reporter Lin and Cheng Che.

Readers saw reporter Lin ask Cheng Che why they were sending him something with a clear target, like "Mango Pomelo Sago".

The reason Cheng Che answered truthfully was because he had used the excuse that "mango allergy = terminal illness" to ask for a month's leave.

The readers smiled – did you like the gifts they sent you?

This is called the cycle of karma, my precious child!

The Q&A session between reporter Lin and Cheng Che continued, with the reporter asking Cheng Che how he viewed the matter and why it would continue indefinitely.

When readers heard Cheng Che say that this was a reader expressing their love, one or two of them were so angry they gritted their teeth and expressed their feelings directly in the comments:

I love you #——#@++！ ！ ！ 】

But when they heard Cheng Che say that the readers were very kind and that they knew about and supported the matter so far, the readers suddenly hesitated and even felt guilty.

Did I misunderstand this guy?

How could these readers be so evil... Zero clearly remembers their kindness, yet they keep cursing him regardless of the occasion.

Hmph, at least you have some conscience!

……

……

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die laughing."

In his living room, Cheng Che was video chatting with Tian Xiwei, watching a video posted by "Getting Closer to Shanghai".

Cheng Che, holding his phone, looked at the readers' comments and lay on the sofa, laughing heartily.

What an innocent bunch of readers! They actually thought I was praising you!

You guys are being CPU'd by me, you know?

When I sell you out, you'll still be happy to help me count the money!

"There will never be authors and readers like you again in the world," Tian Xiwei commented.

What an author and what a group of readers they are!

The author is secretly plotting to deliver a blow to the readers and break their defenses.

Readers racked their brains trying to find ways to send the author sweet treats and break down his defenses.

"Just you wait, tonight I'll post a separate chapter saying I was moved by the readers and decided to revive Genji."

"They'll have to thank me when they get tricked!"

"I won too much this time," Cheng Che said with a crooked smile.

Tian Xiwei smiled helplessly.

That's great! Finally, we've seen a healthy relationship between authors and readers!
