The next day at dawn

Shen Fang changed into a suit and tidied his hair. Today was an interview with Feilong, a popular online novelist. As the author of "Zhu Xian" and the founder of Feilong, Shen Fang couldn't dress casually; everything had to be formal.

Since Shen Fang couldn't play with Liu Qianqian today, he asked Lu Jinbo to invite Chen Xiaoguo to take Tianxian and her daughter to have some fun in Shenzhen. As a local, Chen Xiaoguo readily agreed and promised to ensure Liu Qianqian enjoyed the most authentic local cuisine today.

The invited writers were present at the conference room of the Carton Hotel.

The table was covered with the pen names and representative works of well-known authors on the Feilong Novel Website.

In the very center were two large characters in Song-Jin style, "诛仙" (Zhu Xian), but the pen name wasn't written. Another person who didn't come was either the author "香蕉" (Xiang Banana), who won 5 million yuan in the lottery for his son-in-law; otherwise, there were exactly 30 writers present.

Today, Feilong Novels specially organized an offline fan meet-up, and the venue was already packed with people. The fans in the audience were chanting the names of their favorite authors and their works.

Tang Jia San Shao secretly glanced at the skeleton elf.

"Why isn't Banana here? I've seen too many of his fans, what's going on?"

The skeleton elf pointed to the old pig sitting next to him: "Ask him, those two have been playing together every day lately."

Old Pig grinned mischievously: "Banana recently went to the Netherlands. He heard it's the world's largest red-light district, and it's legal there. He wants to try Western food. He won't come back to continue writing until he runs out of money. I doubt we'll see him anytime soon."

Sitting to the side, Xinyu Wuhen said enviously, "Western food, huh? I'm so envious! I wonder what it's like to be with a foreign woman."

The internet knight chuckled mischievously: "Can a banana's small frame handle it? A big foreign woman probably wouldn't even feel it."

The skeleton elf pouted: "Whatever you want to eat, it's fine. We're stuck writing all this miserable stuff. Why don't I have that kind of luck? When I'm free to eat, I'll go eat Western food too."

Sitting to the side, Chen Dong was speechless: "Brothers, there are a lot of reporters here to interview us today. Be serious. Goodness, you guys are making suggestive remarks while sitting on the stage."

Yan Yu Jiangnan nodded: "And after today's interview, I heard that Feilong's boss wants to meet with us. Be on your best, he probably wants to sign a contract with us to bind us to the company."

Tang Jia San Shao looked at Yan Yu Jiang Nan: "Brother Jiang Nan, what are your plans? What if I end up signing a contract to sell myself into servitude? To be honest, a platform recently offered me a high price to poach me. I'm still considering it."

Old Pig said nonchalantly, "Writing it there is the same as writing it there. I bet a lot of you have asked you to switch platforms, but don't forget, Feilong has the biggest traffic right now, and it's a paid platform. Most importantly, it has money. Other platforms sound nice, but they're not legitimate. Piracy is rampant, and what if they try to cheat you?"

Chen Dong nodded: "As long as Feilong's boss doesn't go too far, I still want to write books for Feilong. After all, they pay well and they're willing to promote us. Most importantly, Feilong is backed by Tencent. You all know how popular Tencent is right now. I'm very optimistic about the company's future. If we stay, we'll be among the first batch of employees, you know what I mean."

The skeleton elf nodded: "As long as it's not a contract of servitude, I still want to stay at Flying Dragon. You don't know, Fried Bun and Jingguan jumped ship to Zongheng and Qiyue, and their popularity plummeted afterward. Not only did they earn less money, but the most outrageous thing is that the resources and recommendations promised by the platform were not delivered, and their readers are pitifully few."

"I heard they're planning to deduct their royalties now. You should think carefully before switching platforms. This is no joke. Right now, many of us at Feilong make at least 10,000 or 20,000 a month, plus some tips. It's pretty comfortable. But once you go to other platforms, it's hard to say whether they'll be as regulated as Feilong. You're all veteran authors, you know how it is. Platforms have been ripping off authors all the time."

Liu Dao nodded: "That's right, I've been scammed before. I wrote nearly 600,000 words and didn't get any royalties. This industry is a deep rabbit hole."

The middle part of the finger is where the heart encounters no trace.

"Why hasn't the God of Heaven arrived yet? The interview is about to start, I hope nothing bad has happened. This interview is mainly about interviewing him."

The female editor Huya is now anxiously waiting in the backend. Her god hasn't come yet, and she's worried she'll be banned.

Time ticked by, and at 10 o'clock sharp, the interview began. The girl with the tiger-toothed smile felt a pang of despair. The god hadn't shown up.

Just then, Lu Jinbo suddenly went on stage, picked up the microphone, and looked at the media and book fans below the stage.

"Let's invite Mr. Shen Fang, Chairman of Feilong Novels, to the stage."

Wearing an exquisite suit, with his hair neatly styled in a slicked-back manner, a charming smile, a handsome face, and an upright posture, Chen Fang walked out from backstage and waved to the crowd below the stage.

He took the microphone from Lu Jinbo.

He looked at the crowd below the stage with a calm smile.

"Hello everyone, I am Shen Fang, the founder of Feilong Novel Platform. Before I begin to explain the philosophy of our Feilong Novel Platform, I would like to address the question that everyone is most concerned about: why are the authors of cultivation novels not here?"

"Because I am the author of Jade Dynasty, Fried Autumn himself."

A gasp immediately erupted from the audience!

The only few female readers who came were screaming excitedly.

"The god is so handsome!! I was born to have your babies!!!"

The editor, Huya, was completely dumbfounded.

"I'm the chairman's editor??? My boss is a god??? My boss is so handsome!!!"

Shen Fang gestured for silence.

"Is everyone surprised?"

The audience.

"This is so unexpected, God!!! Awesome!!!"

Shen Fang laughed heartily: "Here I want to apologize to my editor, Huya. It's not that I'm ignoring you, it's just that I am your boss. Alright, let's begin our first interview series with Feilong Xinghuo Literature."
