Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Why Don’t You Try Using Your Charms? (2/2)

“You little girl, you have good judgment,” Ming Yue sent a look of approval her way.

“Youyou, you’ve taught him well,” Youyou said, smiling.

Mingyue shook her head, then added, “But I need to correct you on one point. It’s not that he has the potential for ten thousand subscriptions; rather, he is already making a dash for it.”

“Making a dash for ten thousand subscriptions?”

Youyou’s eyes narrowed as she murmured to herself.

“Yes!”

Mingyue nodded earnestly, then turned on the computer and opened the Kuaidou website, pointing to the hot search ranking, “Look, he’s made it to the hot search again.”

Youyou’s lips parted slightly, her breathing became noticeably quicker, and her bright eyes fixed on the hot search rankings of the Kuaidou platform.

<1>[Top] Frequent invasions by overseas hackers, cybersecurity needs fortification

<2>[Top] AI-generated fake videos with face swaps, be alert to new fraud tactics

<3>T1 ruthlessly swept by HLE 3:0, Flytech claims DDoS attacks prevented focused training

<4>Another day healed by my daughter

<5>Ridiculous! An internet writer is snatching jobs from criminal detectives

…

“The internet writer mentioned in the fifth place on the hot search is your precious Lin Chuan,” Mingyue said with a smile in front of the screen.

Youyou steadied herself, took over the mouse, and clicked on the fifth hot search.

What caught her eye was a video released by ‘Anling News’: Criminal Investigation Genius assists the police in solving a case within 48 hours…”

Youyou, filled with intense curiosity, clicked on the video.

In the video, Hu Daqiang spared no effort in promoting Lin Chuan, particularly Lin Chuan’s novels.

The video’s comment section was filled with remarkable comments.

‘Some people may seem like just novel authors, but behind the scenes, they’re criminal investigation geniuses.’

‘Now novel authors have one more excuse for taking leave: Police uncle asked me to solve a case.’

‘Indeed, novels come from life!’

‘Is this how a novel author seeks inspiration?’

‘…’

Youyou’s eyes widened, her index finger on the mouse trembling slightly, scarcely believing the content of the video.

‘Criminal Investigation Genius’ ’48-hour case resolution’ — these keywords, unexpectedly linked with ‘internet writer’ ‘Mr. Lin.’

Incredible!

Youyou then opened the editor’s backend to check the average subscription details of Lin Chuan’s work.

[Work: This Assassin Is Too Professional.]

[VIP Chapters: 642.]

[Total Subscriptions: 2673930.]

[Average Subscription: 4165.]

Mingyue patted Youyou on the side and chuckled, “Youyou, you better hold on tight to this treasure of an author.”

Coming back to her senses, Youyou’s lips curved upward involuntarily, and she smiled, “Mingyue, no wonder you were thinking of poaching early in the morning. This momentum is indeed a bit fierce!”

The Kuaidou platform, home to hundreds of millions of users.

Just hanging on the hot search for half a day is enough to send a million-word novel straight to the top of quality works.

Mingyue, as the chief editor, had a different perspective on the issue than Youyou.

She laughed, “The problem you should worry about is not me poaching him, but whether Lin Chuan will continue to write novels.”

Youyou was taken aback, her eyebrows immediately furrowing.

That’s right.

Lin Chuan was acclaimed by Anling Police as a Criminal Investigation Genius with an extremely professional approach to examining crime scenes.

This skill alone was enough to make any criminal policeman green with envy.

“What if the police recruit him away and he stops writing?” Youyou’s insecurity arose on the spot.

Helping solve cases was, of course, a service to society.

But Youyou couldn’t bear the thought of losing this gem of an author; she only wished he could write some novels while solving cases.

“That’s when your skills come into play,” Mingyue said with a smile.

Youyou pursed her lips, “The police can offer him a formal position. I am at the end of the universe here, what could I possibly do?”

Mingyue raised an eyebrow teasingly, “How about you try using your charm?”
