Chapter 284 - A Good Afternoon with Chu Xia


Chapter 284 A Good Afternoon with Chu Xia

After looking at the blank page, Chu Xia was really conflicted because her book was already a million words. The previous plot had just ended and the current plot hadn’t been fleshed out yet. She was also currently in the midst of an arc where there were two colliding plots, making it very difficult.

The plot twist that she had to write had to be done in a way that’s both interesting and engaging. However, it also had to lead to a new plot.

The difficulty was the reason she lowered her daily uploads to 4,000 words per day from her initial 6,000 words, which resulted in the scolding she got from her readers. However, now that she was looking at a blank page, Chu Xia suddenly felt a surge of inspiration with interesting plots flashing through her mind, one after the other. The inspiration coming to her was overflowing!

Initially, she had thought that she’d need to spit something out even if she couldn’t just to win the bet. However, she’d be able to easily complete it in this state even if she didn’t want to!

She couldn’t care less about the bet, much less the strange squid that Su Yang brought over, or the fact that Su Yang had become the owner of a company out of thin air. She was now fully focused on her writing!

Her pretty eyes stared at the screen as her beautiful fingers tapped on the keyboard. Her eyes seemed like words were flowing out of them as they shone.

Su Yang glanced at her and saw her starting to write. He poured a glass of water carelessly, sat on the chair that he’d moved from outside, and brought Little Deeny out. Then, he unfolded it and began browsing the information online. Chu Xia’s current state was very familiar to him. In the past, he always doubted the ability of special items. However, after being served up with surprise after surprise, he got used to it.

The moment the bet started, Su Yang believed that he’d definitely be treated to both meals.

If you were wondering why he’d get two meals, it was because Chu Xia said she was going to treat him to coffee. Adding that to this meal he was about to win, it’d make two meals.

As he swiped through Little Deeny’s screen, Su Yang browsed through the net to watch the news. As a result… He found news regarding some shady search app on the Internet. It wasn’t just regular news as even some microblogs began treating it like a trending topic.

This time, he didn’t need Little Deeny to analyze it. Su Yang knew that this was probably the doing of the (In) app developer to cause trouble.

‘What the hell is that company up to? Why build your own when there are so many others in the same industry? Are you crazy?’

This kind of negative news had little effect on him as long as he kept a close eye on his own app. The articles would only help his app trend better and attract external traffic to his app. Aside from that, it wouldn’t affect him much.

Su Yang was a bit confused about what the developer of the [In] App was up to. Director Sun of the [In] App wasn’t crazy… It was just that he wasn’t very well informed.

When Zhao Xiao made an agreement with him to suppress the Find Me app, he had been doing so..

What he didn’t know was that Zhao Xiao was no longer alive and that an ordinary murder case was turned into a major criminal case because of the account book. Because of this, the investigators put a gag order on news regarding Longteng Jiayuan from leaking to the public for the first time.

The gag order made it such that nobody aside from those in the upper echelons of Shanghai or those with special relationships knew that Longteng Jiayuan was in a huge mess. Nobody there knew that Zhao Xiao was dead so it was even more unlikely that Director Sun would know, seeing as he was in Hangzhou which was some distance away.

W

Because of this, he kept to the thought of keeping up his agreement with Zhao Xiao to suppress the Find Me app for the sake of destroying Su Yang. What he didn’t know was that Zhao Xiao was now dead and his small clique had fallen apart. Director Sun was the only soldier still forging ahead.

In the general manager’s office for the [In] App, Mr. Sun told the marketing department, “Take up some adverts and try to flood the web with news that the Find Me app contains pornographic content.”

“I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that. There isn’t much traffic on the Find Me app. Now…”

Director Sun waved his hand. “Don’t worry about it. I want you to go ahead and hype it up. Make them famous for this negative news and we’ll report it to the authorities to launch an investigation on him.”

His marketing department head was worried.”What if the other party isn’t involved in pornography?”

Director Sun laughed disdainfully. “How can there be an app that doesn’t involve pornography? There’s so much data in a social app like that. Even if it was reviewed 24 hours a day, there’s bound to be a fish that slipped through the net.”

His marketing department brightened up, feeling that what Director Sun said made sense.

At the same time, Su Yang was typing to Little Deeny. “Little Deeny, can you arrange for a core processor to be allocated to me for the Find Me app? Keep a close eye on it and delete or ban anything related to pornography.” Little Deeny replied, “Understood.”

Su Yang asked, “Is this too much pressure for you?”

Little Deeny replied, “No. This amount of data is easy for me.”

Su Yang was relieved.

To be honest, censoring things was something rather troublesome.

With machine censorship, it was easy to miss a lot of content. After all, many people didn’t directly send pornographic content, and foolishly used sensitive words. Instead, they’d change up the words like writing ‘WeChat’ as vx or ‘boobs’ written as ‘bears’ and so on.

With manual censorship, the workload is too great and people have a short attention span, making it easy to miss some information.

For ordinary companies, censorship was a very troublesome job.

However, it was incomparably simple for Su Yang…

Since the [In] App had been advertising for him, he was as happy as a bobcat. Su Yang decided to let them be and allow their advertisement to run its course. Naturally, he didn’t forget to instruct Little Deeny to keep an eye on them as well.

In addition, Su Yang also wondered if he should also take the opportunity to find someone to take advantage of some ads so he could wash his hands of the situation. ‘Stirring up the heat perhaps?

Thinking this way, Su Yang sent a WeChat to the only employee of the Find Me app, Little Bun, Li Zijun, and told her the situation so she could prepare to face any incoming heat.

Li Zijun quickly replied, “Mr. Su, it just so happens that our agreement with ‘Hundred Stars’ has been signed so we can take this opportunity to promote it.”

Su Yang felt like the timing was perfect.

As Li Zijun discussed matters related to publicity, Su Yang decided to give her full control and let her work on it boldly. If she lacked human resources and the finances to get the job done, she could transfer some of the resources from Qidian E-commerce. After the chat, Su Yang put down the Little Deeny, got up, and looked at Chu Xia. Chu Xia was looking at the screen and was concentrating on typing with her long, fair hands, each stroke hitting the keyboard like she was playing a beautiful arrangement on a piano.

As she typed out her story, character after character popped off the screen and she jumped along with the characters. Her face showed an expression of coquettishness, anger, pleasure or sadness, immersed in the world that she was creating in her novel.

Some people might say men who were focused looked the most handsome. However, Su Yang would beg to differ. To him, women who put their hearts into the things they did were the most beautiful.

They were like a self-containing spotlight that condensed all the light in her body. At that moment, they’d seem like they’re the only light shining in the world.

Su Yang took a sip of water from his cup and watched as Chu Xia gently shifted the hair around her ears with her delicate hand before continuing to type. He couldn’t help himself from smiling from feeling how pleasant the afternoon had been.

He smiled, and Chu Xia soon snapped out of her oblivious state. As she stretched and relaxed her body, tired from keeping the same pose for an extended period, she made a sound. “Mmmmmm-“

While stretching, Chu Xia noticed Su Yang standing next to her as he looked at her beautiful body with a smile plastered over his face.

No matter how flat her chest was, she was still a girl. She’d inevitably expose the undulating curves of her body when she stretched, especially more so when she wore such a short t-shirt. When she raised her arm, her pearly white belly was also exposed to Su Yang.

Chu Xia blushed, and even bent over to cover herself, coquettishly saying, “What are you looking at?!”

Su Yang sipped his water. “I’m looking at the mole on your stomach. It feels… Well, it’s cute.”

Chu Xia’s ears turned red. She felt like a cooked crab right now, and the bad guy in front of her was like a gourmand eater who was salivating to see herself to the fullest.

At this time, Su Yang continued commenting, “The mole you have above your belly button actually has a scientific name, it’s called the Loved By All Mole. People with this kind of mole are extremely attractive. They’re loved by everyone and everything. No matter where they go, they can easily integrate into the masses.”

Chu Xia stared at Su Yang indignantly. She felt like Su Yang was definitely teasing her. What in the world was a Loved By All Mole? Anyone could tell that that kind of name was a lie at first thought!

Seeing that Chu Xia didn’t believe his words. Su Yang didn’t continue the discussion, knowing that the little girl was thin-skinned. Instead, he smiled and put the cup on the table before asking, “How was it? Isn’t my office inspiring?” The mention of this brought a smile to Chu Xia’s face, “Yeah… Yeah, yeah! Inspiration is simply bursting out of me. I’ve written 20,000 words in the last four hours! It’s really amazing!” Su Yang calculated in his mind. ‘20,000 words in four hours, WHOA! 5,000 words in an hour! That’s amazing! This (Squid That Doesn’t Like To Dive) is the real deal!’

Su Yang looked at the time, and it was four o’clock in the afternoon. He said, “That’s fine. Since you’ve finished writing, I won’t keep you. Remember, you owe me a meal.”

Chu Xia proudly looked at Su Yang and said with a smile, “It’s you who owes me.”

Su Yang asked, “Why?”

Chu Xia said, “I planned to allocate 3,000 words a chapter. Since 20,000 words are less than 10 chapters, you owe me!”

Su Yang was speechless.

Chu Xia stood up and patted Su Yang’s shoulders with her white hands as she proudly said, “Remember to treat me to a meal.”

Su Yang replied, “Then, we’re even.”

Chu Xia looked at him in confusion/ “Why?”

Su Yang explained, “Don’t you remember? You asked me out for coffee last time, so you owe me a coffee. Now, I owe you a meal. So, if we cancel each other out, we’re even. We won’t have to treat each other.”

Chu Xia was speechless.

She really wanted to open that dull brain of Su Yang’s and see what was inside! ‘Does he think this is a math problem? One plus minus one equals zero?’

Chu Xia exhaled. “Hmph.”

Then… She huffed and didn’t even know how to retort!

All she could do was harummph again.

She decided to ignore the dork.

‘Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb… Dumb! Su Yang is so dumb, it’s frustrating me so much!!!’

After sending Chu Xia off in a taxi, Su Yang carefully wrote down the license plate number and slowly walked home.

July was the time when the trees were full of leaves. The sidewalk was peppered with a cool shade that Su Yang walked in. It felt incomparably comfortable.

The Bronze Mission hadn’t prompted him to tell him it had been completed yet so it would seem that he hadn’t completed his mission to help Chu Xia yet.

However, now wasn’t the time to figure out the Bronze Mission. The recipe items were going to be refreshed in a few hours and he needed to redeem them!

He walked all the way home and saw that Janet was already at home.

Su Yang waved at him. “You’re waiting anxiously, right? There’s been a bit of a delay on my end.”

Janet shook his head.

Bringing Janet and the things he had brought back to the virtual space, Su Yang instructed him to get some rest first.

On the other hand, Su Yang compared all the items according to the recipe of the (Circus of Unknown Abilities) in the system store. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he took out a mask from the package Janet had brought, preparing to add the [+1 Mask] needed to make the (Circus of Unknown Abilities]

The (Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask] functioned pretty well, and Su Yang decided to keep it, so he asked Janet to buy another mask.

He didn’t believe that he’d be so lucky to get another special item if he added another point to a different mask.

‘It’ll be fine as long as I add a special item. Since I got Janet to prepare five more, I don’t think I’m that luck to get five masks with special abilities all at once, right?’
