Chapter 536: Journey to the West Released

At the end of the matter, Zhang Zhongyi and Li Shuheng did not let Chen Shuren show their ability to quickly learn a certain technology in front of them.

It was enough to know that Chen Shuren was not teasing them.

"I didn't expect to meet a genius before I got old."

Li Shuheng sighed.

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

But later I found out that Chen Shuren didn't waste his Go talent.

He wasted his talent in any field he didn't work in!

"Since Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, our misunderstanding has been resolved, then I should leave."

Chen Shuren stood up.

"Didn't delay you?"

Li Shuheng said rather embarrassedly.

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

Chen Shuren said with a smile.

"Not urgent? Then play two more games?"

Li Shuheng pointed to the chessboard and said.

"..."

In the end, Chen Shuren didn't play a few more games, but went back to the hotel directly.

Tang Yingcheng laughed after asking.

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

"Then shall we set off?"

"Let's set off."

The three of them began their trip to Yuzhou.

...

One week later.

Qingzhou, Wan Gu Online Literature Department.

Qingyu excitedly entered Chen Shuangxue's office.

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

"Okay."

Chen Shuangxue opened the email sent by Qingyu.

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

Chen Shuangxue smiled.

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

"The classical version?"

Qingyu was stunned.

There is already a vernacular version, why do we need to publish the classical version?

Shouldn't the vernacular version be published first, so that people can understand the story, and then the classical version can be published, so that all those who like this 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 make the first volume, and then let the printing department print it and sell it in physical form."

"Huh?"

Qingyu was even more confused.

How come every step of Chen Shuangxue took him to a position he could not even imagine.

In Qingyu's mind, the vernacular version was posted on the website, and the classical Chinese version was regarded as an advanced version, and then provided for readers to choose.

But in Chen Shuangxue's case, it was completely the opposite. What was the reason for this?

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

"Okay, then Qingyu, you continue to be busy. Mu Da's typing speed is still quite fast. You can continue to proofread the ones in your hands."

Qingyu heard what Chen Shuangxue said, even if he had a lot of doubts, he had to suppress them.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Watching Qingyu leave, Chen Shuangxue shook her head.

It's not that she didn't want to explain to Qingyu, but no matter how much she explained, it would be in vain when there was no actual effect.

Qingyu might not believe it.

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

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

And Mu Linsen's book never disappoints her every time.

So, Chen Shuangxue has confidence.

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

"The new book of Mu Linsen, the supreme god in the novel world, is about to be released. Different fairy heroes, different protagonists, what are you waiting for, come and support it!"

After the banner was hung, the hot search topics operated by Wan Gu Literature website also followed directly.

If it is a topic of other authors, the operation department will also supervise it to see how the follow-up situation is and whether to give it another push.

But when they heard that it was Mu Linsen's, the people in the operation department didn't worry about it.

In the past, they watched Mu Linsen's hot search nervously many times, fearing that it would fall down after half an hour.

As a result, let alone falling down, it would climb ten or dozens of places every half an hour!

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

This was 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 was a saying circulating in the operation department of Wan Gu Literature Network.

"As long as Mulinsen publishes a book, the bonus for this month will be inevitable, and you don't have to stay up late to check the data on the day of the book release."

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

Many book fans who had been waiting for a long time immediately flocked to Wan Gu Literature Network and entered the webpage that had already established a book introduction but no content.

"What's going on? Where's the book? What book are you selling with just a cover!"

"That's right, I thought Mu Da's novel had already been released, but it turns out there's only a 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?"

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

"Are you ignorant? Isn't the fairy tale above the martial arts novel? When martial arts are perfected, 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 crazily in the book review section of "Journey to the West".

Even if these buildings have been crooked to the point of being too far away, they are still enjoying it.

Many editors and important figures of old-fashioned novel sites such as Lingdian and Yangfan are also paying close attention to this "Journey to the West".

Especially the Xianxia editors.

For example, Bu Anliang.

"Mu Da is writing Xianxia again?"

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

Xianxia!

When "Zhu Xian" was still there, how eye-catching the Xianxia department of Lingdian was.

Unfortunately, when Mulinsen and Wan Gu deepened their cooperation, "Zhu Xian" was also removed from Lingdian Literature for copyright reasons, and went to the newly established Wan Gu Literature Network instead.

Bu Anliang was furious at the time.

But what's the use of being angry?

The book belongs to Mulinsen, and the copyright also belongs to Mulinsen. In the final analysis, Lingdian is just a platform.

Other authors have to rely on Lingdian, so when they talk about copyright at Lingdian, everything goes smoothly.

But for a hit like "Zhu Xian", the copyright has to be negotiated in reverse, and the website has to curry favor with the author.

Unfortunately, Chen Shuren is not short of money, so the copyright of each novel has not been sold.

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

The copyright of other books, even "Zhu Xian" and other books that have been listed on Wan Gu, are still in the hands of Chen Shuren.

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

If the relationship suddenly becomes bad one day, then Chen Shuren can completely withdraw 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 they will agree!

Although Mu Linsen's books make a lot of money, there is only one Mu Linsen!

If Mu Linsen makes 100 yuan alone, the traffic he brings can make the website earn another 100 yuan, or even 200 yuan!

So the website doesn't have to worry about Mu Linsen's part of the income. As long as there is traffic, it can make a lot of money.

"By the way, I heard that Qingyu went to Wan Gu, why don't you ask him?"

Bu Anliang thought about it and sent a message to Qingyu.

He thought he was good to Qingyu, so there was still some hope to ask Mu Linsen about the inside information of his new novel.

"Qingyu, are you there?"

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

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

No need to reply to his message in seconds like before.

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

"Yes."

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

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

"Very well, thank you editor-in-chief Bu for your concern."

Looking at Qingyu's reply, Bu Anliang felt more confident.

"It's fine. I said that all the people who leave our Zero Point are talented, right?"

"Editor-in-Chief Bu, you are too kind."

"Haha, no, no, I really mean it."

"Thank you for the compliment, Editor-in-Chief Bu. But, Editor-in-Chief Bu, is there anything I can do? 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 Muda 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 is it?"

"I don't quite understand it. I have to look up the dictionary for many places. Even if I look up the dictionary, I still don't understand some places. I have to ask Muda himself."

Don't quite understand it?

Look up the dictionary?

Ask Muda himself?

Bu Anliang listened to these words that were more unreliable than the last, and always felt that Qingyu was playing tricks on him.

Could it be that there was really no emotion after leaving the company?

Bu Anliang looked down on Qingyu's pattern in his heart.

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

"Okay."

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

"Lao Gao, I have a question."

"Didn't an editor under me leave? Now he has joined the company, so I want to ask if the background check call has come in?"

"No? Oh... It's okay, I just want to say that if the background check call comes in, you can get it to me. I know that guy well, and I will talk to their company."

"Okay, that's it."

Bu Anliang hung up the phone and sneered.

Do you really think that I can't mess with you after you leave?

Wait, wait for your background check call to come, and see what I say to you!

Bu Anliang thought fiercely.

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

What he said was all true!

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

Background check is the process for ordinary new employees, but Qingyu is not, he is directly recruited by the editor-in-chief.

Background check?

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 was just one of Qingyu's countless chat partners.

After Zizhong released the news of Mu Da's new book today, his messages have never stopped.

If he didn't know how to choose, he would know which ones were pretending to be close and which ones were really close.

Otherwise, he would forget about proofreading, and spend all his time chatting!

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

Qingyu had been busy for a few days and had not had much rest.

After thinking about it, he went.

"Hey, editor Qingyu is here, sit down!"

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

Someone laughed and made fun of it.

But some people defended Qingyu.

"You are stupid, Qingyu is not Mu Da's editor, even if you can read it, it's just a few chapters, right?"

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

Everyone nodded, and then they were less curious about Qingyu.

After three rounds of drinks, some people started to complain.

"I've had enough of this company. Do you know Qingyu? This time, they hired more than 20 editors at once, more than 20!"

"We only had 30 editors before, and Lingdian directly hired 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 old authors, but we only get one recommendation every half a month. Are you kidding me?"

The more that person said, the angrier others felt.

"Why don't you quit like Qingyu?"

Someone asked.

"Hey, do you think I haven't thought about it?"

"I tell you, I've been ready to leave for a long time. Unfortunately, now as long as there is a website with a little reputation, let alone an interview, the resume will be ignored."

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

"So, I can't leave!"

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

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

It seemed that Qingyu was just going to do odd jobs.

But even if they knew this, the others didn't speak, wanting to see how Qingyu would reply.

What surprised them was that Qingyu not only replied, but also replied very seriously.

"Indeed, I just went there to proofread, and there were only two or three authors preparing to start a book. It was really miserable!"

"But it's better now. I've passed the initial stage and now it's 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!"

When these words came out, several old colleagues couldn't help laughing.

So they pretended to be very good just now, but when they checked, oh, they were still proofreading!

So, everyone stopped talking to Qingyu about Wan Gu.

After the breakup, everyone returned to their own homes.

As a result, just when they were about to rest, they saw the hot search news.

Mu Linsen's book was really published.

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

All opened "Journey to the West" and started to watch.

But unlike others, these editors were dumbfounded after opening the first page.
