Chapter 64: You’re Fired
Inside the office.
Lābāhuā, swaying her waist, sat on Mèng Bó’s lap. “President.” Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
“Boss, what’s wrong? You’ve been so clingy ever since I came back?” Mèng Bó’s hands roamed ambiguously around her chest and waist.
“Isn’t it because I’ve been wronged and want you, President, to get justice for me?” Lābāhuā pouted.
“Hmm? What kind of injustice? Whoever dared to wrong my little Boss must be tired of living.” Mèng Bó smiled as he pinched Lābāhuā’s hand.
“It’s a novelist named Ah Xuan. I wanted him under my wing since he’s very talented and I wanted to personally mentor him. I thought it was for his own good, but he refused and even insulted me, calling me shameless and ugly. After cursing me, he blocked me, and in a fit of anger, I deleted him too, losing all our chat records.” Lābāhuā said with委屈.
“Ah Xuan? Is he the male author behind that huge hit in the male frequency section?” Mèng Bó frowned.
“Yes, that’s him. President, you don’t know, this Ah Xuan is under Gǒu Wěibācǎo. She has always looked down on me. This time, it might be Gǒu Wěibācǎo who instructed him. He’s relying on his success, thinking the company can’t touch him, so he cursed at me.” Lābāhuā tearfully added.
“Boss, stop crying, I’ll help you get revenge.” Mèng Bó tenderly wiped away her tears.
“You always say that, yet after a year, hasn’t Gǒu Wěibācǎo continued to act arrogantly in front of me?”
Lābāhuā turned her face away and got off Mèng Bó. “You consider the company first, which is normal, but in the end, I’m still not as important as the company. President, I’m going back to my office.”
How could Mèng Bó let Lābāhuā leave so easily? She had the best looks and figure in the entire company and knew how to play tricks in bed. Moreover, she had just gotten married, and playing with another man’s newlywed wife was exciting.
Mèng Bó grabbed Lābāhuā’s hand and pulled her forcefully back into his arms. “This is simple. I’ll directly place him under your command, and I’ll fire Gǒu Wěibācǎo. How does that sound?”
Changing editors requires the author’s consent, but generally, no author would dare refuse the site’s arrangement since they rely on the site for their livelihood. This Ah Xuan wouldn’t be an exception.
As for Gǒu Wěibācǎo, she’s just a regular editor. There are plenty of editors lining up to join their Feiyue website; they don’t need her.
“Really?” Lābāhuā’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, President!”
“Boss, I miss you so much. Come on, let me kiss you.” Mèng Bó couldn’t wait to kiss her.
“President~” Lābāhuā coyly pushed against Mèng Bó’s chest, resisting while inviting more.
Soon, the office filled with suggestive sounds.
—
Half an hour later.
Lābāhuā emerged from the office looking smug and walked over to Gǒu Wěibācǎo’s desk.
“A temporary win doesn’t mean a permanent one. Some people shouldn’t be too smug too soon. What’s mine, no one can take away.”
After saying that, Lābāhuā returned triumphantly to her own desk.
Gǒu Wěibācǎo furrowed her brow. What did Lābāhuā mean?
Could it have something to do with Ah Xuan?
Not long after, Gǒu Wěibācǎo was summoned…
to the HR department.
“Gǒu Wěibācǎo, pack up your things, leave the company. The company will compensate you with one year’s salary.”
Gǒu Wěibācǎo’s expression immediately darkened. As expected, the company couldn’t tolerate her anymore—more accurately, Lābāhuā couldn’t stand her.
Leaving wasn’t bad either. She didn’t have to kowtow to others anymore. She’d had enough of it!
“What about Ah Xuan? How will he be arranged?” Gǒu Wěibācǎo asked.
“I heard the president’s arrangements. It seems he’s been placed under Lābāhuā.”
The HR staff felt sorry for Gǒu Wěibācǎo. She finally signed a blockbuster author, only for someone else to reap the benefits. Not only that, but she was also fired.
Just as expected!
A shadow of worry clouded Gǒu Wěibācǎo’s eyes.
Gǒu Wěibācǎo contacted Brother Lin Xuan. [I’ve been fired, Brother. The company has assigned you under Lābāhuā. You don’t plan to continue writing novels on Feiyue, right? If you do, Lābāhuā won’t give you any good treatment.]
She already anticipated what Lābāhuā would do. She wouldn’t assign good recommendations to Lin Xuan’s novels and would scrutinize them closely for violations, pulling them down at the slightest issue. Generally, novels couldn’t withstand such scrutiny.
Lin Xuan quickly replied.
[If she hadn’t transferred me under her, it would have been a pity.] Likely, there would be further moves.
He intended to make a big deal out of this, boosting his new platform’s reputation.
Gǒu Wěibācǎo: ????
Huh? Pity?
Gǒu Wěibācǎo frowned. With Ah Xuan’s nature, how could he possibly agree to work under Lābāhuā?
While she was thinking, Lin Xuan sent another message. [I’m about to start a new platform. How about coming over to work as an editor?]
Gǒu Wěibācǎo: [!!!!]
So the reason he didn’t plan to continue writing on Feiyue was because he was starting a new platform.
Gǒu Wěibācǎo quickly replied. [No problem!]
Even if the platform failed, Lin Xuan had earned him tens of thousands in commissions.
[Brother, before opening the platform, you’ll need a large number of novels to expand the library.] Gǒu Wěibācǎo kindly reminded him.
Lin Xuan: [Already prepared. I’ve written over twenty novels, and I’ll continue writing more.]
Gǒu Wěibācǎo: [!!!!]
[Did you write them all yourself?] Gǒu Wěibācǎo swallowed hard.
Lin Xuan: [Yeah, I’ve been writing novels for years and am ready to release them all together.] Lin Xuan didn’t mention that he wrote them all in a few short days—it would be too outrageous.
Of course, it was all thanks to the space.
Gǒu Wěibācǎo: [Brother! I’m following you!]
With over twenty blockbusters written by Lin Xuan, every single one guaranteed to explode in popularity! Once Lin Xuan’s platform stood up, it would be a matter of moments!
Tsk tsk tsk, Feiyue Website was about to meet a formidable rival.
Lin Xuan also quickly received the news about being placed under Lābāhuā.
The chief editor messaged him and even forwarded Lābāhuā’s QQ contact card.
Chief Editor: [Add Lābāhuā, she’ll be your guide from now on.]
Lin Xuan: [I don’t look up to her!]
The chief editor frowned and kindly reminded him: [This is the company’s arrangement. If you refuse, it might affect both you and your novels.]
Lin Xuan: [Whatever.]
Hopefully, they’d pull his novels off the shelves. His goal was to have Feiyue help promote his platform for free.
