In the new year, Lu Chuqing continued to attend kindergarten in boredom, only finding some interest in art class.
The teacher discovered that she had a great talent for drawing. When Lu Ying came to pick her up, the teacher specifically mentioned this to the woman, telling her to nurture her talent and that she was very likely to achieve something in this field in the future.
After returning home, the woman asked for her opinion.
Lu Chuqing figured she couldn't do anything else right now, so she might as well learn to draw for fun.
She also inherited Lu Ying's talent for painting; she was quite good at painting in her previous life.
In vocational school, there was a drawing class. The teacher asked us to copy the pictures in the textbook, and she was the one who drew the most similarly in the whole class.
Yes, it's like that.
She drew almost exactly the same picture as the one in the textbook.
But that doesn't mean she drew well; she just tried her best to draw exactly like the textbook.
She had never studied painting, and if it weren't for her teacher, she probably would never have had any exposure to it in her life.
Now that we have the means and time, it's good to learn more skills.
After telling Lu Ying her thoughts, the woman began looking for good art classes for her.
In less than two weeks, Lu Chuqing began attending school and learning to draw in art classes.
Lu Ying's novel earned her over five thousand yuan in royalties in the last month before the Lunar New Year.
The woman had never seen herself earn so much money. Overjoyed, she decided to quit her job at the garment factory and focus on writing at home.
She plans to enroll in a class herself once Lu Chuqing's art class is on track, to learn professional house design knowledge.
Lu Chengyang and Lu Linqi knew that Lu Chuqing had started learning to paint, so whenever they had time, they would take her to art classes.
Spring has passed and summer solstice has arrived, another summer vacation is here.
In the past six months, Lu Ying's novels have hit a bottleneck, and her royalties have only remained between two and three thousand.
At first, Lu Chuqing didn't know that she had found something she wanted to learn, so she devoted herself to painting.
The woman acted as if nothing was amiss, so she didn't notice immediately.
Now that she doesn't have to go to school during the holidays, she only needs to attend art classes for a few hours every day, giving her a lot of free time to care about other things.
One day, when she thought about this, she opened her computer and logged onto the website where Lu Ying wrote her novel, only to find that she had hit a bottleneck.
When Lu Hang and Zhang Qiaoyu were at home, they learned that Lu Ying wanted to buy a computer, so they took the initiative to help her choose a computer with a high cost-performance ratio.
The woman also talked to her second brother about the future prospects of computers. The man pondered in silence, and before leaving, he also bought Lu Linqi a computer.
Lu Ying knew that her second brother's entrepreneurial journey hadn't been smooth, but he must have made some money before he came back.
Remembering what Lu Chuqing had told her, she briefly mentioned some things to the man. With her second brother's intelligence, he must have his own plans.
The bottleneck isn't a big deal; it's just that Lu Yingkai's new novel isn't doing very well, and very few people are reading it.
However, in her opinion, it's not a big problem; the main issue is the choice of subject matter.
When Lu Ying returned, she told the woman about the various popular genres of online novels in the future, and that the current trend was just beginning for the development of domineering CEO novels.
The second book by the woman was a traditional time-travel novel, a popular genre. However, because it was so popular, and Lu Ying wrote it a little later, it didn't gain much attention.
Therefore, she advised women to simply cut off the story and start a new one in the domineering CEO genre.
This time, she carefully explained to the woman the various tropes of domineering CEO novels. The woman listened attentively, took notes, and then came up with many melodramatic plots and imaginative settings on her own, starting her own domineering CEO novel.
The new article wasn't very good when it was first published. Lu Ying was confident, but she couldn't help but worry that it wouldn't work.
Lu Chuqing encouraged her, reading her posts before she posted them and then offering her own opinions to discuss with her.
After discussions and revisions, the article went viral when it reached nearly 100,000 words.
All the comments said it was the first time they had seen this type of writing, and that it was very original and made them want to read more.
Lu Ying has a habit of replying to comments, but this time there were just too many comments for her to reply to. She could only thank her fans at the end of the chapter.
A hit article means high royalties and the opportunity to sell copyrights in the future; at the same time, various imitations and plagiarisms will follow.
During that time, Lu Ying and Lu Chuqing were extremely busy with this matter.
There's nothing you can do about common memes, but if you report one instance of copying a meme, a whole bunch of others will pop up, which is incredibly annoying and ruins your mood.
Fortunately, after the novel became a hit, Lu Ying gained a large number of loyal fans. Some of these fans reported the plagiarism directly, saving the woman a lot of trouble.
Lu Chuqing also said that this kind of thing can never be completely controlled. Those people are lucky if they get away with copying once. If they don't correct their ways, they will eventually be sued by other people who have been copied.
Only by focusing on creating compelling storylines can one remain successful; one cannot let trivial matters ruin one's career.
After that, the woman focused on writing. Sometimes when she had free time, she would read the comments from her fans, and if she found any plagiarism, she would report it to the back office.
Every day, Lu Chuqing would also help her mother check the trends of various online novels and look for plagiarists.
That summer, besides playing with her brothers, she also had a fulfilling and busy time.
That year, the broadcast of "Chinese Paladin 1" sparked a craze for fantasy dramas in China.
That same year, the Chinese music scene was a battle of titans.
Qiao Xiaoran, Lu Wenxin, and Qiao Hui, the three girls, all started saving their pocket money to buy albums by their favorite singers.
Fu Qing has come less this year; he's only come once since the New Year, during the summer vacation.
There shouldn't be anything between him and Song Tianhao. Anyway, Lu Chuqing felt that Song Tianhao was still the same as before.
