Chapter 37: Boom Boom
Upon hearing this, the principal lost all hope. “President Su, since you’re busy, never mind then.”
Su Hua: “I will attend on time.”
Jiang shook his head.
Well, President Su is now obsessed with male beauty. The President Su who only had eyes for work is gone forever.
The principal was surprised.
President Su actually agreed!
The chairman of Suzhou Group personally coming to give a speech to the students, this would be big news when it gets out, and it would greatly help Shangqing University’s admissions!
“Alright, President Su, I’ll make all the arrangements for you.” The principal happily hung up the phone.
Lin Xuan must have some connection with President Su!
And President Su treats Lin Xuan differently! As long as he sticks close to Lin Xuan, that’s like sticking close to President Su.
Yeah, even though he’s a principal relying on a student, it’s not embarrassing.
The higher-ups in the office looked astonished, agreeing? No way, how could President Su attend such a small speech?
Isn’t President Su the one who hates these kinds of speeches the most? She didn’t even attend the company’s annual meeting and never gives interviews to the media.

On the way back by car, Gǒu Wěibācǎo kept spamming him with messages.
[Gǒu Wěibācǎo: Bro, my bro, it’s blowing up, it’s completely blowing up! It’s averaging 15,000 views now! When everyone finishes work or school tonight, which is the peak time for reading books, it’s expected to increase by another 20,000 average views!]
[Gǒu Wěibācǎo: A first-day average of 35,000 views, that’s an incredible achievement no great author can surpass!]
You can feel Gǒu Wěibācǎo’s joy through the screen.
In the morning, he thought it would only reach an average of 10,000 views, but in just eight hours, it surged from over a thousand average views to 15,000!
It seems everyone found it interesting and recommended it to their friends. Another reason is that they’ve finished reading the book.
[Gǒu Wěibācǎo: Bro, you’re truly amazing, I bow to you.]
Lin Xuan stroked his chin.
This novel wasn’t entirely copied from a foreign world novel; he added many self-designed plots. Basically, others’ plots combined with his own, written in his own style.
To be honest, he was still somewhat anxious, worried that his poor writing skills might not make the novel perform well, but it turned out better than expected.
Today, he earned about 210,000 yuan.
Sigh, writing novels doesn’t earn enough money, he’ll withdraw after finishing the chapters this month.
The male frequency editorial department at Feiyue Station went crazy discussing this newcomer, Lin Xuan.
“This performance is truly impressive! One out of every eight people who come in are willing to pay to read, even platinum-level authors don’t have such high subscription rates!”
“This novel was published on the first day and went premium on the second, it’s the first time we’ve encountered such an operation, and the key is that it blew up!”
“Isn’t this the novel rejected by Lābāhuā and picked up by Gǒu Wěibācǎo? Lābāhuā must be regretting it to death!”
All the editors were regretful; they wanted to sign this novel too but didn’t dare because of Lābāhuā.
“Don’t talk anymore, I regret it too, why didn’t I sign him? Ah, my commission! Gǒu Wěibācǎo’s commission this month is probably going to be over 100,000 yuan.”
Lābāhuā went on her annual leave to spend her honeymoon with her new husband, she has no idea about Lin Xuan’s novel.
The male frequency editorial department collectively kept it from her.
Lābāhuā poached quite a few successful authors from under them, they all dislike her and look forward to seeing her face when she returns from her honeymoon and finds out about Lin Xuan’s success.
Lābāhuā also has a group chat with novelists, where the authors are crazily discussing Lin Xuan’s novel.
But she’s happily on her honeymoon and doesn’t have time to look at these messages.
Lin Xuan glanced at the backend data and generously uploaded another hundred thousand words of the novel.
[Gǒu Wěibācǎo: Bro, take it easy, who updates tens or hundreds of thousands of words in a day like you?]
Other authors, even if they have drafts, wouldn’t release them because if this novel blows up, the next one might not. They prefer releasing bit by bit, the longer the serialization lasts, the more money they earn!
There’s an author who wrote for over ten years, getting his novel to nearly fifty million words, and still doesn’t want to finish it.
Lin Xuan is the first one to update so aggressively!
[Lin Xuan: I need money, plus, readers will love it this way.]
[Gǒu Wěibācǎo: …]
[Gǒu Wěibācǎo: Alright. But bro, don’t release the entire novel in one day.]
You’re amazing, you’re reckless!
But with his writing skills and plot design, writing another hit shouldn’t be hard.
Perhaps Lin Xuan could usher in his own era of novels.
[Lin Xuan: Sure.]
After logging out, Lin Xuan checked the time, there were only ten days left in the month, and he didn’t want to wait. He’d finish all the novels within five days.
He needed to quickly earn a sum of money as his startup fund.
Lin Xuan also released another novel on another website, also a female psychopath type, but the plot design is completely different from the one on Feiyue Station.
Same as the previous one, release a hundred thousand words on the first day and go premium on the second.
When Lin Xuan returned to Yeyuan, Su Hua hadn’t come back yet.
The chef was cooking, Lin Xuan walked in.
“Master Lin.” The chef respectfully greeted.
Lin Xuan said, “Let me do it.”
“Master Lin, let me handle it, no need to trouble you.” The chef gripped the spatula tightly.
“What, don’t you trust my cooking?” Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
The chef didn’t say anything, just looked at Lin Xuan, as if saying, what else could it be?
The first time Master Lin cooked in Yeyuan, he blew up the kitchen, luckily Master Lin was unharmed.
“Master Lin, if you get hurt while cooking, Miss won’t forgive me. I have parents, in-laws, a wife, and three children to support. I can’t lose this job, please spare me.” The chef pleaded awkwardly.
Working in Yeyuan pays very well, he didn’t want to leave.
Lin Xuan: “If you don’t let me cook, then I’ll tell Su Hua that you insulted me.”
Chef: “…” What a dirty trick!
He didn’t want to agree, but Lin Xuan hit his weak spot.
“Fine.” The chef reluctantly nodded. “But Master Lin, I need to stay in the kitchen and watch you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
“Sure.” Lin Xuan nodded.
He tied the apron, skillfully turned on the gas stove, poured oil, added vegetables, and seasonings.
The chef was stunned, this cooking looks pretty decent.
“Master Lin, when did you learn to cook?” The chef curiously asked, didn’t you blow up the kitchen last month?
“Maybe I suddenly awakened my cooking talent.”
Actually, after marrying Qin Ruoyao in the previous life, he learned for her, transforming from someone who could blow up the kitchen into a man comparable to a five-star chef.
He was the house husband in the Qin family, doing all the cooking, laundry, and cleaning.
Fortunately, in this life, the meal he cooked was for Su Hua.
As Lin Xuan finished the last dish, the chef finally sighed in relief, thank goodness, he could keep his precious job.
Lin Xuan prepared a full table of dishes and waited for Su Hua to return at the dining table.
