Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Look at their awareness!
Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhonghai City Center, inside the Guohao Twin Towers.
Bai’s Group CEO Bai Haochen sat at his desk, reviewing the materials brought in earlier.
“Boss,” the secretary pushed the door open and walked in, saying, “We’ve found some information on Wang Hao, this is the intelligence we’ve gathered, please take a look.”
“Alright, give it to me.” Bai Haochen put down the document in his hand, took the materials from the secretary, and began to read.
“It seems this Wang Hao is indeed just an ordinary person,” Bai Haochen flipped through the pages and laughed, “He has some ideas to suggest to the screenwriter to change the script, and even plans to write novels to earn some extra money, showing some ambition. Hmm, this Ren Xing must be the son of that small mining boss Ren Xinpeng… Does he really not intend to ask for any benefits?”
“At the moment, it appears that he does not,” the secretary hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Boss, what should we do next?”
“We still need to stay vigilant,” Bai Haochen stroked his chin, saying, “Keep an eye on him, as long as he doesn’t have designs on Ninger, everything will be fine. Let me see how his writing is first.”
As the leading businessman in the Heavenly People’s Republic, and the current head of the Bai family, Bai Haochen naturally had a discerning eye.
He quickly opened the novel interface of “Break the Heavens” and started reading.
He read quickly, nodding as he went, saying, “Hmm, it’s indeed somewhat interesting, it at least keeps me reading. It seems he truly intends to make some money from this… Do not underestimate the young and poor? Well said…”
After quickly finishing five chapters, Bai Haochen laughed and said, “There is some skill here, this kind of ambition is worth encouraging.”
“Hmm? What’s this…” After watching for a while longer, the secretary noticed that the readers in the book’s review section were fighting, and became curious. Following his instinct, he quickly found the Dragon Mountain Forum, infiltrated it, and soon located the fiercely debated Dragon Mountain Gossip section, and began scrolling through the threads one by one.
“Find anything?” As the secretary was looking, Bai Haochen asked, “You seem engrossed, did you find something interesting?”
“Mr. Bai,” the secretary hurriedly replied, “It seems there’s some controversy surrounding Wang Hao’s novel.”
“Oh? What’s it about?” Bai Haochen smiled faintly and asked, “Send me the link, I’ll take a look.”
“Alright.” The secretary quickly sent over the link.
“Dragon Mountain Forum?” Bai Haochen started browsing the posts, quickly understanding the situation given his experience as the family head, after which he smiled and said, “Interesting, facing trouble just after posting the novel, haha.”
“Boss,” the secretary asked cautiously, “should we… try to help him?”
“No need for that,” such matters were naturally not significant enough to bother Bai Haochen, and he didn’t take it to heart at all, saying, “Young people aspiring for success will naturally encounter various setbacks. If they always need help when trouble arises, how far can they go? These are minor issues; let’s see how he handles them. Since he has come into my view, he can’t just reap the benefits without any effort. Keep monitoring the situation, and let me know if there are any new developments.”
At this time, the factions supporting Wang Hao and Xiao Cangtian on the Dragon Mountain Forum were in a heated battle, while Xiao Cangtian, watching the rapidly rising stats of “Break the Heavens,” was gritting his teeth in anger.
Xiao Cangtian: “Damn, our battle seems to be helping his publicity, damn it!”
Xiao Divine Envoy: “I didn’t expect it to turn out either. Cangtian, what do we do next? Try to mess with him again?”Upd@te by novg0 .co
Xiao Cangtian: “Let’s hold off for now, damn it. If we mess with him again and he creates another buzz, it’ll just help his publicity further.”
Xiao Divine Envoy: “Well… alright, looks like that’s our only option for now.”
“Favorites 91! Hahaha! Awesome!” Watching the rapidly increasing favorite numbers, Wang Hao beamed with joy, “This buzz is working great, gotta keep it up, can’t waste such a good opportunity, hahaha!”
Today, the number of favorites increased by more than a hundred, and he even gained an Alliance Hierarch; with only fifteen thousand words posted, this was already quite impressive, contentment leads to happiness!
After tidying up his things, Wang Hao checked the time, five o’clock sharp, time to get off work!
“Little Wang,” after a busy day, as work was about to end, screenwriter Li Fei came over, “Done for the day, got any plans for tonight? If not, join me for a meal.”
Huh? A meal? With Mr. Li?
“Ah, no plans for tonight; Mr. Li, why…” Wang Hao was somewhat baffled. What did Li Fei mean by this?
“No plans is great,” Li Fei chuckled, “You could say you’ve taken me as a mentor today, so as your mentor, I should show some appreciation. Besides, your script gave me a lot of inspiration; it’s really thanks to you. Come on, Gao will be there too, it’s just a casual meal. Oh right, I remember there’s a girl named Zheng Yue working with you, she looks quite nice. If you’re single, why not bring her along too?”
The earlier part was to show his status as a mentor, an elder, and thus duty-bound to look after the younger folks.
The latter part was very obvious—it meant “If you’re single, I’ll help matchmake between you and this girl Zheng Yue.”
Look at this sense of awareness!
In the past, Wang Hao would never refuse such kindness. Zheng Yue was at least an 8/10 beauty, yet for some reason, the face of the Ice Princess inexplicably popped into Wang Hao’s mind…
“Ah, okay,” Wang Hao quickly agreed, “I’m single right now, but I’m planning to focus on my career first and am not looking for a relationship in the short term…”
This excuse was just right, Li Fei nodded, smiling, “That works, it’s your call then. So no bringing her along?”
“Well…” Wang Hao scratched his head, Zheng Yue did ask him to get her a role, something significant, so he immediately said, “Sure, let’s bring her along, she asked me to get her a role after all…”
“Haha, you sly fox, not saying it outright but you actually want this, don’t you?” Li Fei laughed, patting Wang Hao’s shoulder, “Fine, do as you wish, we’re not short of another pair of chopsticks, let’s head out then.”
How come I’m apparently quite willing…
