Lin Que clicked on the link.
An official document bearing more than a dozen bright red seals came into view.
The document's title was menacing.
Joint Initiative on Purifying the Online Literature Environment and Resisting Vulgar and Harmful Works.
The wording was harsh, every word aimed at the heart of the matter.
The document begins by vehemently criticizing online literature platforms, exemplified by "Hongguo Novel Network."
They claimed that they disregarded social responsibility in pursuit of traffic.
Allowing the "spiritual opium" of bloodshed, violence, and nihilism to grow unchecked will poison the minds of teenagers.
Then, with a sudden shift in focus, the pen aimed directly at the bullseye.
[...Among them, the online novel "Human World is Like a Prison" stands out!]
This work is filled with bizarre and supernatural elements, and distorts values.
Openly promoting the extreme ideas that studying is useless and that morality is degenerate,
This has already caused extremely negative social impact!
We hereby solemnly warn all cultural institutions, advertisers, and relevant departments in the city:
A joint boycott and thorough censorship of "Hongguo Novel Network" should be launched.
Until a complete overhaul is achieved!
Upon seeing this, Lin Que even had a faint smile on his lips.
The old man was driven mad by the saying "ghosts don't read poetry".
Now they're just flipping the table, they've completely lost all sense of shame.
However, when his gaze slid to the last paragraph of the document,
The corners of his mouth were gradually pulled flat, eventually forming a cold, hard straight line.
Literature should have integrity, but more importantly, it should have warmth.
Here, we would also like to extend our greetings to the vast number of literature lovers,
I recommend an excellent work that truly represents the spirit of our times and warms people's hearts.
[It's the story of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" by Kenjiro, published in the magazine "Shincho"!]
We urge all creators to learn from Mr. Jian Shen.
Using the pen as a torch, we illuminate people's hearts and inject positive energy into society...
Wang Shouyi, a towering figure in Jiangcheng's literary world,
At this moment, he was raising Lin Que's right hand high and shouting at the top of his lungs to call on everyone to cut off Lin Que's left hand.
Use me, or kill me?
A suppressed chuckle escaped from Lin Que's chest.
But there was no warmth in that laughter.
Wang Shouyi's attack
They weren't targeting his online persona, but rather his money.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
Moreover, this money bag is what sustains the warm light in the room behind him.
"Xiao Que, what are you daydreaming about? Come and try this meat, Mom has been stewing it all afternoon."
Wang Xiulian picked up the largest piece of braised pork and put it into Lin Que's bowl.
Lin Que raised his head.
A lighthearted variety show was playing on the TV in the living room.
The father, Lin Jianguo, watched with great interest, occasionally chuckling along.
Warm lights, a sumptuous meal, and the parents' contented smiles.
Lin Que shifted his gaze from his parents' contented smiling faces.
The cold declaration of war fell back onto the phone screen.
He knew that someone wanted to smash all of this.
And so, the last glimmer of warmth in his eyes faded away.
He ate a mouthful of rice, then stuffed the braised pork into his mouth; it tasted delicious.
"Mom, it's so delicious! The taste is comparable to a five-star hotel!"
He smiled at his mother.
Stop joking around and eat more!
He finished the last bite of rice in his bowl and put down his chopsticks:
"Dad, Mom, I'm full."
I suddenly have a writing inspiration; I need to hurry to my studio to jot it down, or I'll forget it.
"So fast? Eat some more!"
"No, it would be a huge loss if the inspiration got lost."
28th floor, SOHO Future City.
Lin Que closed the door, shutting everything out.
He didn't turn on the light and went straight to the balcony.
I dialed Green Ivy's number, tapped my finger, and activated the voice changer.
"Dream Weaver! You finally called back! Did you see that file?"
"I saw it."
Lin Que's voice was very soft.
"Boss, he's trying to completely blacklist us!"
"Has your legal and public relations departments not taken any action?"
Lin Que was somewhat puzzled. Hongguo.com was backed by China's leading technology and internet company: ByteDance.
Departments like legal and public relations are not to be underestimated.
"Sir! The proposal...it's too sudden! The whole company is in chaos!"
The advertisers have run away, and the app store is going to remove us.
Even the top executives of the group have gotten involved, demanding that we remove "Human World is Like Hell" from the platform!
"The editor-in-chief of Red Fox is arguing with the higher-ups. He disagrees, but the pressure is too great!"
