Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Treasure, Taking Off!

The next day, early in the morning.

In Modu, the rising sun pierced through the thin cloud layers like fish scales, casting a brilliant glow onto the glass of the closely packed skyscrapers.

Inside the Sailing Novel office building.

Youyou, dressed in a beige maxi dress and wearing small white high heels, walked up to the editor-in-chief’s office, took a deep breath, then tucked her hair behind her ears to ease her nervousness a bit.

This morning.

As soon as Youyou stepped into the Sailing Novel office building, she ran into the editor-in-chief.

Seeing her, he only said one sentence, “Youyou, come to my office later; let’s talk about your year-end bonus.”

Hisss!

Year-end bonus!

Youyou became nervous all at once.

She had bet her year-end bonus on taking Lin Chuan’s “Hacker Kingdom” overseas for publication, but in reality, she also did not have much confidence.

The only thing that supported her to make such a bold decision was her belief in Lin Chuan.

But.

Whether the novel would take off upon publishing, who could be sure?

Some have prepared diligently, spending ten years to forge a sword, crafting a great work filled with deep meaning and profound reflections on life, but in the end, they might not even get their work passed a trial run on Sailing Novel.

A look at the actual following: 1.

This reader was still criticizing it.

Others write wildly with their eyes closed, with careless plots, no embellishments, spending their days in bluster and directly offensive plots, yet they keep topping bestseller lists and reaping both fame and fortune.

It really boggles the mind.

Therefore, Youyou also had no certainty about whether “Hacker Kingdom” would take off.

“Forget it, if Lin Chuan can’t deliver results, I won’t be able to drum up any performance this year, and I’ll have to pack my things and leave; there won’t be any year-end bonus to speak of.”

Youyou consoled herself.

Then she gently knocked on the editor-in-chief’s office door.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Come in.”

The voice of the editor-in-chief came out.

Youyou steadied her mind and walked into the editor-in-chief’s office, “Editor-in-chief.”

The editor-in-chief, Zhang Yixing, was about forty years old, and he got along well with the editors; he was not too imposing.

In his youth, he had written quite a few hot-selling books; now, he was balding.

At this moment.

Seeing Youyou come in, Zhang Yixing paused his work, “Youyou, take a seat first.”

Youyou pursed her lips and sat down at the tea table.

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing then smiled and said, “Youyou, what kind of tea would you like?”

Youyou’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and a tinge of confusion appeared on her face, “Editor-in-chief, there’s no need for this. If you’re going to cut my year-end bonus, I’ll accept it.”

In the workplace.

When a superior is about to cut salaries or rewards, some would broach the subject with a cheerful disposition, creating a casual atmosphere as if chatting with an old friend.

To Youyou, Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing’s behavior seemed to carry an implication of ‘offering wine to release military power.’

Alas, my year-end bonus!

Alas, my little monies!

Wuuu——

“Who said your year-end bonus was getting cut?”

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing raised his eyebrows slightly, asking with a smile.

“Aren’t you talking to me about my year-end bonus?” Youyou was startled.

Zhang Yixing smiled, “Can’t a year-end bonus increase?”

The year-end bonus can increase?

Doesn’t that mean…

A flush of joy appeared on Youyou’s rosy cheeks, and her slightly dispirited eyes lit up, “Editor-in-chief, didn’t you just ask me what tea I want? Could you ask me one more time?”

“What tea would you like?”

“I don’t want tea; I want coffee!”

Youyou’s voice rose a little, with the vigor of a liberated serf singing.

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing’s mouth twitched slightly.

But he still made Youyou a cup of instant coffee.

“Is it that ‘Hacker Kingdom’ is doing quite well overseas?” Youyou sipped her coffee and asked.

“How did you know?”

“Editor-in-chief, this coffee is really good!” Youyou said with a smile.

Editor-in-chief chuckled, “Its results might be better than what you had in mind.”

“How much?”

Youyou asked eagerly.

The specific overseas data for “Hacker Kingdom” was not visible to Lin Chuan, and Youyou needed to request permission from the editor-in-chief to have access.

“I’ll send you the data; you can study it yourself,” Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing said with a smile.

“Okay.”

Youyou nodded excitedly.

Zhang Yixing sent the data to Youyou, whose fingers tapped continuously on her phone.

A moment later.

Youyou looked stunned and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

Hiss!

This data…

Ding-a-ling—

Ding-a-ling—

Youyou’s alarm clock started ringing.

9:00.

Zhang Yixing asked casually, “You have an alarm set at this time?”

Youyou came back to her senses, chuckled awkwardly, “Chief Editor, this is the alarm to wake up the God of Wealth, I’m going back to carefully analyze this data!”

With that, Youyou picked up her coffee, humming a tune as she walked out of the office.

“Darling~”

“Time to wake up!”

Just after leaving the office, Youyou immediately sent two messages to Lin Chuan.

“Youyou, I just woke up,” Lin Chuan replied.

Last night, he fell into a deep sleep while watching the Popularity Value inch up.

“Darling~”

“We’re taking off!”

“Do you know?”

Between the lines, Youyou’s joy was overflowing.

“Taking off?” Lin Chuan’s eyes widened, and he immediately understood what Youyou meant.

System, panel!

[Title: “Hacker Kingdom”.]

[Current Status: Launched.]

[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 2408/6000. (Including Overseas Popularity Value: 2018)]

Overseas Popularity Value, 2018!

“Holy shit!”

On the bed, Lin Chuan sat up ‘as if resurrected from the brink of death,’ his eyes wide and face full of astonishment!

The increase of 2018 Popularity Value!

Before bed.

Lin Chuan had expected the increase to be fast, but he never anticipated it would be this rapid; the speed was truly astonishing.

Was this the effect of Angelina recommending it to her friends?

At this moment.

Youyou sent another set of data.

[Vanguard Plan work, overseas data as of April 14, 08:00.]

[Title: “Hacker Kingdom”.]

[Number of Collections: 105267.]

[Paid Chapters: 397.]

[Chapter Subscriptions: 801146.]

[Average Subscription: 2018.]

[Vanguard Plan Works Bestseller Ranking: 1.]

Lin Chuan had experienced four different professional lives and saw much of the world, but virtual was still virtual, and his mindset was different.

Now.

With this explosive data in front of him, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath to steady his overly excited emotions.

The first thing Lin Chuan did was to thank Youyou.

“‘Hacker Kingdom’ could go international, all thanks to your efforts, Youyou. Thank you, Youyou!/Extremely grateful.jpg.”

Indeed, it was only after going international that “Hacker Kingdom” had the chance to soar.

Lin Chuan felt grateful to Youyou.

Inside the Sailing Novel building, Youyou smiled brightly, “It’s mainly because ‘Hacker Kingdom’ is such high quality; I just added a finishing touch.”

Lin Chuan felt warmth in his heart, “Youyou, so magnanimous!”

“Write a few more books, and that’ll be the best thanks for me!” Youyou laughed.

“Okay, I’ll write a few more!”

Lin Chuan replied earnestly.

After ending the conversation with Youyou, Lin Chuan took a deep breath and then opened up Angelina’s chat window.

Could the staggering number of a hundred thousand favorites be the result of Angelina’s recommendation?

If so, how exactly did she recommend it?
