At that time, the person who saw the potential in “Hacker Kingdom” and pushed through all opposition to take it overseas was her.

It turned out.

Her judgment in books was quite accurate.

Youyou smiled and replied, “It’s a drug lord type of novel that started with ‘making drugs’. It tells the story of producing drugs, selling drugs, defeating competitors, reflecting the protagonist’s descent and reflection on the path of crime.”

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing furrowed his brows slightly and spoke, “This subject matter is indeed not suitable for domestic release; just the censorship alone would not let it pass.”

“The scrutiny for overseas works is not as strict; as long as it doesn’t violate laws and regulations, it’s allowed to be released.” As the manager of Overseas Operations, Chu Wanning understood the extent of censorship very well.

The severity of censorship differed between inside and outside the country.

The edits of foreign films when they enter domestic cinemas provide a glimpse into this discrepancy.

Upon hearing Zhang and Chu’s intentions, Youyou’s face immediately brightened, “That’s great, I’ll contact Lin Chuan right away to send over the work. Would you two be interested in taking a look?”

“Of course!” Chu and Zhang responded.

The three in the office were in perfect agreement.

Youyou immediately messaged Lin Chuan.

Since “Black Ice” wasn’t fully exported yet, Lin Chuan chose to send the first hundred thousand words of the opening to Youyou.

Youyou was very efficient.

She immediately forwarded the opening hundred thousand words of “Black Ice” to Zhang Yixing and Chu Wanning.

They took a sip of tea, then eagerly opened the beginning of “Black Ice,” with the content appearing on their phone screens.

‘My name is Mr. Lin.’

‘You can also call me by another name, the king of the Underworld.’

‘On the surface, I am a well-known businessman in Anzhou.’

‘Behind the scenes, I control the entirety of Anzhou’s underworld, holding sway over the drug market in Anzhou and the routes to the overseas market.’

‘In my life, I have made countless drugs, flooding them overseas.’

‘I have also witnessed countless addicts, so I advise you all to cherish life and stay away from drugs.’

‘As to why I ended up on this path.’

‘The story starts with Lin Pharmaceutical.’

‘…’

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing took a sip of tea and laughed, “This beginning has Lin Chuan’s personal style all over it.”

“Exactly, you can tell it’s his work just by the way it starts—very distinctive.” Youyou nodded in agreement.

Chu Wanning showed her recognition; she had read “Hacker Kingdom” and had specifically studied it for some time, so she could clearly sense Lin Chuan’s writing style.

The trio continued reading.

‘Lin Pharmaceutical, was a company I started with a loan.’

‘Initially, it was a genuine drug-making company.’
