Chapter 22, "File 759," became a viral sensation, leading to a contract change immediately
Zhang Chao was eventually dragged out by security guards after arguing with them for so long. Even as he left, he kept regretting how he had missed out on such a great opportunity! Most importantly, he had lost his job!
After Zhang Chao left, Jiang Chengcheng turned her gaze to the woman beside her and then spoke meaningfully.
"Madam, you'd better watch what you say when you go out in the future. Otherwise, you won't even know how you ended up in trouble. Don't end up not only getting nothing in return, but also dragging others down with you for no reason."
Ever since this woman learned that Jiang Chengcheng was the current owner of the CITIC Tower, she seemed to have disappeared and mingled in the crowd. If she weren't afraid of being too conspicuous, she would have even wanted to drag her husband away from this place of trouble on the spot!
Who would have thought that this little girl, who looks so young, comes from such a wealthy family!
"It was my fault for being so foul-mouthed. You are a magnanimous person, and you can forgive even a small fry like me. I was blind!" When the woman heard Jiang Chengcheng call her name, she thought of the other woman's identity and her own and her husband's jobs. She immediately forgot about her image and face and slapped herself in the face!
Serves you right for being so talkative!
The woman secretly regretted it.
Jiang Chengcheng was too lazy to argue with the other party anymore. She couldn't possibly find the other party a job, buy the other party's company, and then fire the other party just because of a few words, could she? This wasn't a TV drama, and besides, this kind of person didn't deserve her money.
"Let's go." Jiang Chengcheng didn't even spare a glance for the woman, and directly told Ruan Qingqing to deal with the house matters, while Liu Jing also followed.
After dealing with the taxi matter, Jiang Chengcheng gave Zhao Feng's phone number to Liu Jing, so that the two of them could communicate directly. After all, she didn't want to spend too much time and effort on this kind of thing.
Time flies by.
Jiang Chengcheng's submission to the adolescent magazine was published about a week ago. She received the magazine from Yingxue on the first day. She glanced at it and saw that the position was not particularly conspicuous. However, Jiang Chengcheng was not in a hurry. After all, she was just starting out and had a long way to go.
beep.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng was about to leave, her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the screen; it was a message from Yingxue.
Yingxue: Author! You're amazing! In less than seven days! Guess how many replies your novel received? A full ten thousand! That's an achievement most people wouldn't even dare to dream of! You took a week off before, and the reader section was practically exploding! You absolutely have to update this week when the magazine is released! No more taking leave!
And the boss said he'll switch you to the second type of contract. You know, you're the author who's switched contracts the fastest since the magazine "Teenage" started! Ah!!! I'm so happy ヽ(○^?^)??! You're such a treasure!
Jiang Chengcheng looked at the message sent by her editor-in-chief, Yingxue, with a rather complicated expression.
Is it... really that popular?
Jiang Chengcheng wondered to herself, just how popular must the product be to make Yingxue so happy?
Jiang Chengcheng had previously skipped a week to prepare for a figure skating competition, but she didn't expect such a strong reaction.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it! According to the spreadsheet Yingxue later posted, the number of purchases of the "Youth Magazine" increased nearly threefold that week because of her novel!
During the week I took a break, the reader section was mostly filled with discussions about the plot and waiting for updates. But I just took leave, and I guess the readers who were waiting for the next update were furious. So, in the last few days, the emails and envelopes I received during my adolescence period have almost piled up like a mountain!
……
Jiang Chengcheng remained silent for a moment, then typed back the message at her elderly hand speed.
Jiang Cheng: Okay.
Jiang Chengcheng received a reply almost instantly after sending the message.
Yingxue: ...That's it?! Aren't you excited at all? Are you kidding me? This really is your first book?! Do you know what that means?! A book that makes you a legend?! Dude! A book that makes you a legend?! Can't you get excited?!
Jiang (Black guy with a question mark face) Cheng: It's okay.
Jiang Chengcheng said she wasn't actually that excited. After all, she'd seen all sorts of things since she got the system. What Yingxue said was nothing.
Yingxue: …Okay, but you can't miss another update this week! I'll be keeping an eye on you! No matter what, finish updating the novel first! Here's the new contract, sign it and I'll go update.
Seeing that Jiang Chengcheng wasn't responding to her, Yingxue lost interest in making a scene and went straight back to the main topic, sending over the new contract.
Jiang Chengcheng agreed to Yingxue's request, signed the contract, and then stopped paying attention to her phone.
……
Class 3, Grade 8, Hengyang No. 3 Middle School.
Today is Friday, and school will be out tomorrow. Most of the students in the class are discussing their weekend plans.
"Hey! What are you doing this week? Going out to have fun?"
"No, I'm going to buy a puberty magazine and then read this week's novel update."
"Oh? You read teen magazines too? Do you know about the recently released '759 Files'? It's amazing! After reading so many romance novels, this fast-paced, action-packed story is so much more satisfying!"
"I checked, but the author only updated one chapter before taking a break! It's driving me crazy! I'm going to buy some books and magazines this week and check for updates. If they don't update again, I'm going to send the magazine a knife!"
"Yeah! I'm so anxious! Why does the novel always end at the crucial moment?! What is the protagonist supposed to do?! He can't just wait to die!"
Before Jiang Chengcheng even entered the classroom, she could hear her classmates mostly discussing her book, "File 759."
...
Ok…
Now we know just how popular it is.
Jiang Chengcheng, who was about to receive razor blades, silently huddled in a corner, took out her slightly dusty writing notebook, and began to mentally fill in the blanks for what would happen next.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengcheng had taken Wensi Quanyong (a traditional Chinese medicine), so writing this didn't take her too much time.
After organizing the content, Jiang Chengcheng sent it directly to Jiang Chengcheng via her mobile phone.
Ding.
Congratulations, host, you have received a side quest: Participate in the middle school science and technology competition.
Task timeframe: 3 months
Task Reward: A super-large courtyard house in Beijing.
Not long after Jiang Chengcheng put down her phone, the system's mechanical voice suddenly came through her mind.
"A middle school science and technology competition?" Jiang Chengcheng was a little surprised to hear this. Did such a competition exist in her previous life? Why didn't she remember it?
Just as Jiang Chengcheng was thinking, her homeroom teacher, Xu Yuan, walked in from outside the door.
Since Chen Ying was suspended from her post, the school did not have time to find a suitable replacement because the incident happened so suddenly. Xu Yuan, who teaches senior high school math, was temporarily appointed as the homeroom teacher of Class 3. However, because the senior high school curriculum is tight, Xu Yuan would only come to Class 3 to inform them when she had something to do.
"Classmates, I have some great news to share! To encourage middle school students' enthusiasm for scientific research and innovation, the country has decided to hold a science and technology competition for middle school students. The final prize money is not only 100 million yuan, but also unconditional admission letters from Tsinghua and Peking Universities. So, if you have relevant experience, be sure to sign up! This is a rare opportunity. If you're interested, come find me after class!"
