Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Officer Shen Suspects Everyone as the Culprit! (2/2)
As the night deepened.
Taking advantage of the dim light, Lin Chuan walked back to Happiness Community at an unhurried pace, stepping on the moss-covered floor tiles, winding his way around piles of clutter and haphazardly parked motorcycles, to return to his small rental room.
Lin Chuan looked at the narrow yet empty room, his thoughts slightly scattered.
Maybe, deep down, he was a bit lonely.
But why enter into a relationship?
For a soft, fragrant girlfriend, kisses as tender as jelly, or to open his eyes in the morning and see her exquisitely carved face up close, her clear eyes blinking, gazing at him?
Lin Chuan’s lips revealed an aunt’s smile.
But he quickly cast aside these sci-fi scenarios that even Liu Cixin couldn’t write. How could that be possible?
Lin Chuan only asked himself one question, “Lin Chuan, what makes you think you deserve it?”
Afterward.
Reason overcame emotion, and his consciousness quickly sobered back to reality.
It was time to release a new book!
“Youyou, my new book is ready,” Lin Chuan messaged the editor.
Youyou was very professional.
She replied immediately, “When do you plan to release it?”
“I checked the almanac, 9 p.m. tonight to release it, and signing the agreement tomorrow.”
Lin Chuan had specifically consulted the almanac.
21st day, Hai hour, avoid misfortune.
22nd day, all day, suitable for signing agreements.
“OK.jpg.”
Youyou replied with an emoji, and then sent another message, “For the ‘video platform book promotion to divert traffic,’ when do you plan to start?”
“Can I do it tomorrow night?” Lin Chuan thought.
Youyou replied, “That’s fine, I’ll file the request for you. By the way, the person promoting you is the blogger Su Qianqian with close to a million fans on Kuai Dou. She will live-stream promotions of your book for three days and will make three promotional videos to divert traffic. You can follow her.”
Lin Chuan’s lips curved up slightly, “Okay, thank you, Youyou.”
Nine o’clock at night, the auspicious hour had arrived.
Lin Chuan began uploading his new book.
Choosing an auspicious day and hour to release a new book was a common practice in the writers’ circle.
Some writers from certain sites believed that website recommendations were mystifying and arcane, so they simply picked an auspicious day and hour to publish and sign contracts.
Some even went to the extent of getting a divination done.
It seemed laughable but also a bit sad, and that was how Lin Chuan felt now.
Fortunately, the book release went smoothly.
…
The next day, it passed the security review safely and was scheduled to sign a contract.
That evening, the book promotion began.
As dusk fell, the distant lights twinkled like bright candles flickering in the night. The street lights under the old community cast a soft glow, and the occasional bark of a dog made the atmosphere gloomy and silent.
As the ‘King of the Night,’ the assassin Lin, cough, Lin Chuan, he opened the Kuai Dou app, full of anticipation, and searched for ‘Su Qianqian.’
