Chapter 211 What exactly do you see in him?
Chapter 211 What exactly do you see in him?
Lin Xingyun had also been Jiang Chengcheng's age. It was the time when young people were just beginning to experience romantic feelings, so he could understand this. Although most schools in China explicitly prohibit early romantic relationships, how many schools can truly control it?
What really annoyed Lin Xingyun wasn't Jiang Chengcheng's early romance, but that Jiang Chengcheng not only dated a foreigner, but also someone so much older than her!
Faced with Lin Xingyun's questioning, Jiang Chengcheng's expression became even more resolute, and she spoke in a protective tone.
"I like him because he's good to me, because he's willing to work hard for me, just to save time to come to China to see me, because he's willing to coax me, consider my feelings, and accommodate me. Uncle Lin, I don't have many reasons for liking someone, I just happened to fall for him at first sight in the crowd. I know this will cause some trouble for the country, but I don't want to wrong the person I like. I don't know if we will be together in the end, or if his kindness to me will remain the same, but at least at this moment, I just want to be with him."
Jiang Chengcheng's firm voice echoed in every corner of the room, leaving Lin Xingyun speechless. He could only pull out a cigarette from his pocket, light it, and ponder how to handle the situation.
If Jiang Chengcheng were just an ordinary person, Lin Xingyun wouldn't care who she dated or be so worried. But Jiang Chengcheng is not just a student to China; she symbolizes the future of China. Her relationship with Sirius is not just her own business, but a variable for the entire country!
But he couldn't bear to break up the couple. He thought about how much Jiang Chengcheng had contributed to the country, and how they would interfere with her relationship.
a long time…
"Is it really him?" Lin Xingyun sighed deeply, still unwilling to give up, and asked again.
"It has to be him!" Jiang Chengcheng replied earnestly and firmly.
It's not that she's particularly love-struck, but rather that Jiang Chengcheng isn't a person with a great sense of love. She has patriotism, but she's also selfish. She can work hard for the country's development, but she can't give up her personal life for the country's future. Call her selfish or heartless, it's not something she can do.
Of course, that's what they say. Given Jiang Chengcheng's personality, at most, if the higher-ups disagree, she'll give up the path of national scientific research and go into business to support herself.
"…Let me think about it. I'll see how to talk to Commander Li about it." Seeing Jiang Chengcheng's resolute eyes, Lin Xingyun knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only try to help her resolve the matter.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin, but could you please not tell my family yet?" Jiang Chengcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Lin Xingyun's reply, but still asked shyly.
"What? Are you afraid your family will find out?" Lin Xingyun looked at Jiang Chengcheng's nervous eyes and found it funny for no reason. She wasn't even afraid of dating, but she was afraid of her parents finding out.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Xingyun felt relieved. Jiang Chengcheng was still a child after all, and her mind was not completely settled. Maybe after a couple of days, her passion would subside, and he would break up with Sirius. He didn't need to be too nervous.
"I know." Lin Xingyun chuckled lightly, finally agreeing to keep it a secret for Jiang Chengcheng for the time being.
"Oh dear! Let's not talk about this anymore! The food's getting cold, let's eat!" Seeing that the two had almost finished their conversation, Li Li quickly blanched a slice of boiled pork and put it in Jiang Chengcheng's bowl to liven up the somewhat quiet atmosphere.
"Thank you." Jiang Chengcheng nodded slightly, expressing her gratitude with a smile. After finishing her meal, she got up and said goodbye to Lin Xingyun.
...............
In the afternoon, Jiang Chengcheng suddenly received a message from her editor Yingxue, only then realizing that she hadn't been paying attention to the novel rankings for a long time.
Yingxue: Chengcheng! You're amazing! Check out your rankings!
Below Yingxue's message was a screenshot, which Jiang Chengcheng opened with a puzzled expression.
Tenth on the monthly ticket ranking: *Void King*
Fifth on the popularity chart: Void King
When Jiang Cheng saw the message from Yingxue, he finally understood what she was so excited about. He hadn't expected his novel to be so popular, even breaking the record for new authors.
Yingxue: Chengcheng! You must stay calm and try to update more often! I feel like your novel is going to be a masterpiece!
Loves potatoes: Uh... okay.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't react much to the data. After all, no matter how famous the book was or how much money it made, it wouldn't be as much as her company.
Yingxue: By the way, Chengcheng, our company is holding a meet-and-greet for authors in a couple of days. Could you come?
Loves potatoes: I probably can't go. The school has year-end exams in a couple of days, and I'll be quite busy at the end of the year.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't want to join in the fun, so she made up an excuse to refuse.
Yingxue: Okay.
Whether or not someone attends the authors' conference is entirely up to them, and Yingxue didn't insist too much.
After ending her conversation with Yingxue, Jiang Chengcheng, who rarely opens the novel's backend comments, glanced at them and, as expected, found them in an uproar.
"I'm in awe of this masterpiece. I want to see what it means to reach the monthly ticket and popularity charts with 300,000 words."
"Author, could you please update more? There's just not enough to read!"
"Heh, this level of skill is enough to get into the top ten of the monthly ticket ranking and popularity ranking? Could it be rigged?"
"Don't just spout nonsense. Your idol is the real king of spam, okay?"
"Did I say something wrong? How could a brand new account write this well? It would be a miracle if he didn't use fake accounts!"
"I agree, I'd love to get some food if this didn't work!"
"Please do not beg from upstairs!"
Jiang Cheng glanced at the comments section and, as she expected, the more famous the book became, the more haters and online trolls it attracted.
After uploading today's article, Jiang Chengcheng was too lazy to read the negative comments anymore and simply blocked them, thinking that once the storm passed in a few days, no one would pay attention to her anymore.
Jiang Chengcheng's plan was good, but unfortunately, those people wouldn't let her go.
........................
Jiang Chengcheng's novel quickly rose to the top of the monthly ticket chart and the popularity chart within a few days, but then Yingxue suddenly called in a hurry.
"Hey? Chengcheng, check the novel website forum!" Yingxue's voice was trembling with anxiety, not knowing what had happened.
Hearing Yingxue's urgent voice, Jiang Chengcheng instinctively felt that this was no small matter.
really!
When she opened the forum, the first pinned post she saw was about her.
Title: Is the author "Loves to Eat Potatoes" topping the Newcomer Chart, Monthly Ticket Chart, and Popularity Chart by plagiarism a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?
The accompanying image is what the poster calls evidence of plagiarism.
