As the saying goes, "You must first settle down to be able to succeed in your career." This is absolutely true. Especially today, with good luck, you must strike while the iron is hot!
Wang Hao left the park and headed straight to the nearest bus stop. Speaking of which, this good luck was indeed different. Just as he arrived at the bus stop, the No. 233 bus heading to the talent market pulled up. Wang Hao quickly boarded it.
"Wow, hahaha, there's a seat!"
Sitting down with a plop, Wang Hao began planning the next steps in his life.
He already had a good start with the novel. This golden sunflower could be considered his first little follower in this world. There shouldn't be too many problems with the beginning. Now, the most important issue was funding.
Money isn't everything, but without money, you can't do anything.
Just taking "Break the Heavens" as an example, even if he started writing now and uploaded it directly to the website, it would take at least a month and a half before it could be listed. Wang Hao had calculated this carefully after thorough research. The free word count for each novel on this world's Fengyun Chinese Network was similar to that of Qidian in his previous life, around 250,000 to 300,000 words. This meant that this portion of the word count wouldn't generate income. At the rate of ten yuan per thousand words, the initial investment would be about three thousand. This couldn't be saved. Plus, his daily expenses...
Start-up funding was essential. Wang Hao checked his bank card on his mobile phone. As expected, the balance was the same as before he crossed over: 2154.86 yuan.
Two thousand yuan, at most, was only enough to support him eating casual meals and paying some manuscript fees to golden sunflower. It definitely wouldn't be enough for anything more.
Ask his family for money? Wang Hao shook his head. Having reincarnated, he would despise himself if he still relied on his parents.
So, the most urgent task now was to find a job.
Firstly, having a job would put his father at ease, so he wouldn't worry about him every day. Secondly, having a salary would help him get through these initial two months smoothly, without being like a good housewife without rice to cook. Thirdly, he had nothing else to do anyway, and he didn't need to write the book himself...
"Based on our current needs," Wang Hao thought carefully, "it's only a transitional period anyway. The job doesn't need to be glamorous, nor does the salary need to be high. The key points are two."
First, the workload couldn't be too much because he needed time to explain the plot to golden sunflower. Second, the working hours couldn't be too long; working until eight or nine in the evening every day wouldn't do.
So, based on these requirements, the most suitable positions for him were probably as follows—odd jobs, cleaning, part-time work, typist...
Now that he had a rough goal, finding a job shouldn't be too difficult.
However, upon arriving at the talent market, Wang Hao realized that he was being too simplistic...
Seeing the crowd, Wang Hao swallowed hard. The population in this world seemed to be the same as in the Heavenly, and just looking at the long queues at each hiring window was enough to make many people shy away.
"Damn, why be scared of the crowd? Today, I'm invincible!" Wang Hao plunged into the throng.
It was already 11 a.m., the peak hour, and everywhere he looked, it was packed with people. The dense crowd gave him goosebumps, with groups huddled in front of the advertisement boards, discussing the company introductions.
Unlike most people here, who were looking for decent jobs to make a name for themselves, Wang Hao specifically roamed around the less crowded areas. Generally speaking, the positions suitable for him were more likely to be found in such places.
Good luck indeed was different. After wandering for half a circle, he found a position that suited him well.
Tianyi Network Technology Company was hiring a game planning assistant, with a monthly salary of 2200, working hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break, six working days a week.
This job was passable. The salary was pathetically low for Zhonghai City, which explained why no one had applied.
But it was just right for him. Go for it!
Wang Hao quickly stepped forward. "Hello, is the game planning assistant position at your company filled?"
The company's HR manager was a chubby man who casually glanced at Wang Hao and grunted, "Not yet. Do you have your resume?"
"Well..." Wang Hao, in his haste, hadn't brought it. But no problem, today was his lucky day! Wang Hao scratched his head and said somewhat reservedly, "Sorry, I rushed out and forgot to bring my resume."
The chubby manager grunted, "Oh, do you have any relevant work experience? Where did you graduate from?"
"Graduated from Zhonghai Technology College. As for work experience..." Wang Hao thought for a moment, "Does being a typist count?"
"Barely," the chubby guy yawned, ready to ask more questions when suddenly, a rather ordinary-looking young man squeezed in, smiling, "Manager Liu, long time no see."
Hearing this greeting, the previously listless Manager Liu's eyes lit up upon seeing the young man. He smiled, "Oh, isn't this the Supreme God Xiao Cangtian? What brings you here?"
Hearing this name, Wang Hao became curious. Supreme God Xiao Cangtian? A web novelist?
Wait, wasn't today supposed to be about good luck? This wasn't going according to the script!
Shouldn't the manager have immediately hired him upon his arrival?
Xiao Cangtian, the Supreme God, pulled over a chair and sat next to Manager Liu. "I'm preparing for a new book recently, came out to get some fresh air and find inspiration."
"No wonder," Manager Liu completely ignored Wang Hao and chatted with Xiao Cangtian. "You do need to find inspiration; writing can't be rushed. Have you decided on the subject and title yet?"
"The subject will definitely be fantasy," Xiao Cangtian crossed his legs, his smile filled with pride. "It's for the copyright after all. But I haven't decided on the title yet. I've thought of a few, but none of them feel quite right."
"You are a true Supreme God," Manager Liu even sounded fawning. "Any title you come up with can attract countless eyes, no need to worry."
Xiao Cangtian seemed quite pleased with Manager Liu's words. He nodded, smiling, "Of course. Even if I start a book now, with just the title and no written content, there are already offers for the copyright. The starting bid is three million. But the title is very important as it will be adapted into a game. A tacky title won't do. This book is my bid for the Supreme God. I can't afford to be careless; everything must be perfect!"
