175: I love getting rich! I don't mind women!

On the second floor, Yue Qingzhu was curled up on the bed, flipping through a book in frustration, when her phone suddenly lit up. The moment she saw the message, her eyes widened slightly, her eyelashes fluttered twice, and the corners of her mouth uncontrollably turned up, only to be immediately pressed together again.

After replying with a “Got it,” she quickly sprang up from the bed, slipped into her slippers, and hurried to the door, only to suddenly stop, turn into the bathroom, look in the mirror, and tidy her hair.

Downstairs, Chen Fang waited for two minutes before a knock came from the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yue Qingzhu looking up, her hands gathered in front of her chest and then spread open, her black hair tucked behind her ears. Under her air bangs, her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, her cheeks still flushed pink, and her feet quickly shuffled into the kitchen.

“Holy cow, is a cake worth getting this excited over? Good thing I gave it to her.”

“Here,” Chen Fang put the plate into her hand, “Are you going to take it back to eat?”

Yue Qingzhu blinked, her mind racing, and shook her head, “This would be tempting Teacher Zhao and the others to break their no-late-night-snack rule. I’ll just eat it here, but it’s too late, and I can’t eat a whole one. Let’s share it here.”

Chen Fang saw Yue Qingzhu’s cheeks flushed pink and her eyes sparkling as she stared at him, and for some reason, he couldn't say no. “Okay, you can divide it.”

Yue Qingzhu walked to the kitchen island, took out a small knife, “You just ate one, so how about I give you one-third?”

“Good.”

Yue Qingzhu cut it, rinsed the small knife, and brought the plate over to Chen Fang.

“You’re helping me eat this, helping me not waste food, so this is a favor I owe you. And I also owe you a multi-grain bun.”

She tilted her head and smiled, then sat down opposite him.

“This is great, it’s all about connections.”

Chen Fang slowly nodded.

So, if he ate her food, she would owe him a favor instead? Could such good things happen more often?

Chen Fang took a few bites and looked at Yue Qingzhu opposite him. He saw her cheeks puffing in and out with her chewing, her eyes narrowed in satisfaction, and she seemed to be immersed in happiness.

He felt like she was a hamster. He had to admit, she was a little cute.

It formed a strange contrast with her usual self.

Yue Qingzhu was probably the person he understood the least. Sometimes he felt she was very mature and calm, but when they were alone, he felt she was a bit childish and seemed to rely on him a little.

Thinking of this, Chen Fang pursed his lips.

“Illusion, illusion, illusion.”

“It’s because I’m a strategist and an old acquaintance, that’s all.”

“People cannot be narcissistic!”

Outside the window, Xiaobai and Liang Yan, who had just returned from the neighboring villa, saw the kitchen light on and curiously walked over to take a look, immediately dumbfounded.

“What the heck? What are they doing?”

Liang Yan looked through the window and saw Yue Qingzhu with a smile on her face, her feet under the table tiptoeing up and down, and one hand secretly gripping her skirt.

His eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened. “Holy cow! They’re up to something!”

“What the heck? Why them?”

“Why can Chen Fang latch onto such a powerful connection?”

Liang Yan gritted his teeth, his fingers digging into the windowsill.

A moment later, he pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

“A person who truly wants to latch onto a powerful connection must overcome all difficulties! What if she has a partner? I must have a noble awareness. Since I want to latch onto a powerful connection, then I’ll just latch onto both of their powerful connections!”

After eating, Yue Qingzhu waved at him and went upstairs.

Chen Fang returned to his room, feeling a bit chaotic in his thoughts, and decided to continue writing “Mist of Horror.”

He opened his computer and created a new document.

But his thoughts drifted back to the scene in the kitchen just now.

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

“No, I need to write down my life motto first!”

Chen Fang opened his notepad and quickly typed: “I love to get rich! I am not swayed by beautiful women!”

Then he took a deep breath and opened his novel document. His fingers paused. Something seemed off just now?

“Whatever, it’s just my own document, I don’t care. Hurry up and write and then sleep!”

The next morning at seven.

Chen Fang crawled out of bed and quickly washed up.

“After work today, I can rest tomorrow and the day after. Keep going!”

At the same time, the city's transportation system also entered its morning rush hour.

Two hours later.

In the parking lot of Wenyuan Bookstore headquarters.

General Manager Lu had just gotten out of his car when he ran into the Marketing Director. The Marketing Director was beaming, looking like he had had a good few days.

General Manager Lu quickened his steps, “Morning, what a coincidence?”

“Good morning, Old Lu.”

“What makes you so happy?”

Wrinkles of laughter appeared at the corners of the Marketing Director’s eyes, and his gaze brightened a few shades. “ghost blows out the light needs another reprint. It was published on July 12th, and today is only September 8th. In less than two months, it has broken our Wenxing Cup record for sales within three months of publication.”

General Manager Lu put his car keys into his pocket. “Eastern’s luck is truly too good. Logically, when a new book is just published, the audience is mainly those interested in the genre and the author’s fans. As a newcomer, he has no old fans, but two celebrities actually became his new fans. It’s like God is chasing after him and feeding him.”

“He has a lucky charm physique.” The Marketing Director nodded, his tone unable to hide his joy and pride. “Our promotion has also become much easier. Old Lu, do you know? ghost blows out the light has been at the top of the ‘Popularity Ranking’ on the ‘Everything Can Be Read’ website for a month straight.”

“Everything Can Be Read” is a platform similar to a combination of Douban Reading and Hupu. Douban only compiles published novels, while Hupu allows everything to be rated, but it leans towards internet memes and has fewer users.

“Everything Can Be Read,” on the other hand, allows all novels to be rated, regardless of whether they are published or not, or in what form they appear. Even if a protagonist in a TV series writes a story, it will be pulled in by netizens for ratings. The style is more serious, making it a discussion haven for book lovers.

General Manager Lu smiled and pressed the up button for the elevator. “I can’t speak for other rankings, but for the Popularity Ranking, ghost blows out the light is definitely stable. Chen Fang secretly promoted it. That person named Xie Yunxuan promoted it everywhere; those who didn’t know would think he wrote the book.”

The Marketing Director nodded. “It’s to establish a persona and attract fans, right? If it weren’t for ghost blows out the light, I really wouldn’t know there was such a person as Xie Yunxuan.”

“Is ghost blows out the light going to have a hardcover edition?”

The Marketing Director’s mouth curved upwards. “Yes, this Friday. This will make the Popularity Ranking even more stable.”

“This year’s annual report can also be written very beautifully.”
