"Different? What's different?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen curiously, what else could be different?
"Brother, this time I'm writing an online novel!"
Du Chen chuckled. He was also going to give it a try to see if he could become an ancient great god. After all, the first batch of great gods back then made a lot of money, and many of them were even financially independent.
"Online novel? What online novel?"
Du Bin was extremely busy at work every day and had never read any online novels. However, Gu Yue's eyes lit up as she looked at Du Chen curiously.
"Chenchen, are you talking about that first intimate encounter with that kind of online novel?"
Gu Yue couldn't help but ask Du Chen curiously.
"Yes, it's the novel published online, but it's different from the first intimate contact. That one is a romance novel, and it's relatively short! It's different from what I wrote."
Du Chen explained the difference between the two to Gu Yue in detail.
"Is the article still short? How long do you plan to write it?"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen in surprise. Nowadays, people usually only read works of 200,000 to 300,000 words, and have no intuitive feeling about the number of words in online novels.
"Over a million words! It might be longer, we'll see how everyone responds then!"
Du Chen answered Gu Yue's question lightly.
"Say it again, how many words were there?"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen in surprise, and Du Bin also looked at Du Chen curiously. Neither of them expected the number of words Du Chen said.
"More than one million words!"
"Over a million words? How long would it take you to write it?"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen in surprise, unable to hide her surprise.
"About a year, I guess!"
"How is that possible!"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen in disbelief.
"Why not? Three or four thousand words a day, that's over a million a year, right?"
Du Chen said to Gu Yue, who was still unaware of the tentacle monsters that would appear later, that 10,000 words a day was the basic guarantee, and with three to four thousand words, the tentacle monsters could be typed out in about half an hour.
"Three or four thousand a day? That's a lot? Don't you need to check for omissions? Don't you need to proofread?"
Gu Yue asked Du Chen again. She had seen Du Chen writing manuscripts. Although the outline of the whole story could be completed in a short while, the later polishing and revision would take a lot of time.
"Sister Yue, online novels are not what you think!"
Du Chen knew that Gu Yue had fallen into a misunderstanding. Then, Du Chen explained to Gu Yue the difference between online novels and published novels. Gu Yue nodded in understanding.
"Chenchen, don't you need to spend a lot of time writing online novels?"
Du Bin also asked Du Chen curiously. Based on his understanding of Du Chen, Du Chen was not such a hardworking person.
"It's okay, I'll get used to it slowly, and it will become faster naturally!"
Du Chen explained briefly that he mainly wanted to get a share of the online novel boom, and then when the short video wave comes, he can get another share. By then, he will be ready to truly retire. By then, he will be in his thirties, and he will have money and time, which is the best age to enjoy life.
"Just don't feel tired!"
Du Bin was driving and talking about his thoughts.
………………………………
After Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao got engaged, they were busy every day. They didn't have much work to do. They were busy having dinner and parties with their former classmates and friends to keep in touch. After all, they now lived in Beijing and had very little time to meet with their friends.
Du Chen's daily routine is even more regular. He visits and checks the businesses under his name every other day, and occasionally hangs out with friends like Wang Luqi and Li Qiang. In the evenings, he basically sits in front of his computer at home, typing away diligently.
In the blink of an eye, another Spring Festival is here. Li Dewen, Xiami and Jiji have returned from the capital one after another, and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.
One day at noon, the few of them finally had time to get together.
"Du Chen, are you really planning to stay in Yuncheng from now on? You're not going to Beijing to develop your career?"
Ever since becoming a teacher, Du Chen has been pretending to be calm and a cultured person. Li Dewen looked at the bookish Du Chen and asked him in confusion. He originally thought that Du Chen became a teacher just on a whim, but seeing Du Chen standing like this, is he seriously preparing to be a teacher for a long time?
“Who knows what will happen in the future?”
Du Chen's hobby hasn't changed much. Li Dewen and others were drinking, while Du Chen was drinking Jianlibao and talking slowly to Li Dewen.
"Are you really not going to care about those industries in the capital?"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen curiously again.
"I usually keep an eye on it. Besides, what would you do if I took over? Would you be willing?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen and Xiami with a smile. They were in charge of the most things right now, so they might not be willing to let go of their power. Although none of them had any hidden agendas—after all, Du Chen still had spies in the company, and some key positions were filled by his people—power was something that was incredibly tempting.
"Brother Chen, please stop talking like that. The boss and I are eager for you to come back and take charge! We both want to enjoy life like you do!"
Xiami directly refuted Du Chen. If at the beginning, he was indeed unwilling to give up the rights he had obtained, but he didn't think so now!
It's so tiring, there's so much to do! Busy during the day, busy at night! Busy at work, busy on vacation too! Every day is packed, with calls coming one after another! There's no private time at all. He used to not understand Du Chen's approach, but now he deeply understands it and is incredibly envious of it.
"That's right, Du Chen, why don't you come back and manage the company! I get nervous just hearing my phone ringing!"
Li Dewen also smiled bitterly. To be honest, they were a bit like Du Chen. They didn't have any big ambitions. They just had enough food and clothes to eat and enough money to spend. They didn't have any particularly expensive hobbies. They were already quite satisfied with what they had now!
So he now has the same idea as Xiami, wanting to retire early and enjoy life like Du Chen, so he asked Du Chen that question at the beginning, wondering if he could let Du Chen go back to take over the company. He also had two days of leisure time.
Du Chen looked at Li Dewen and Xiami in surprise. He really didn't expect that the two of them would have such an idea.
"Kiki, what about you? What do you think?"
Du Chen asked Kiki who was watching the show on the side. Kiki still had his signature green head, the same all year round.
"Brother Chen, are you asking me?"
“…”
Looking at Kiki who was still in a daze, Du Chen didn't say anything, mainly because he didn't know how to answer. He had already said Kiki's name, but Kiki still didn't react.
"Me? I don't have any ideas. Life is pretty good right now. Punching people every day isn't bad!"
As soon as Kiki said this, the other three people present couldn't help but grin. This Zaza man's description is quite impressive!
