Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Lin Chuan is too ruthless! (2/2)

Youyou: “Received.jpg.”

Lin Chuan leaned back, resting his entire body on the chair, waiting for the manuscript review comments.

The chair was a common wooden one, not one of those gaming chairs that can “rita,” nor an ergonomic chair—it was quite uncomfortable to sit on and somewhat constricted his back.

Sitting in this chair felt very much like the interrogation chairs designated for criminal suspects.

If he turned off the computer and placed a small wooden board in front of him, Lin Chuan would have wondered if he was in an interrogation room.

He did not like this feeling.

Lin Chuan thought that after he received his manuscript fee next month, he definitely needed to get a gaming chair.

…

At the Sailing Novel Website office building, in the break room.

Youyou and Mingyue sat across from each other at a table with two cups of coffee on it, emanating a rich and fragrant aroma, tinged with a slight bitterness.

Mingyue, the female editor-in-chief of Sailing Novel, was about thirty years old.

She was dressed in a black suit, with her hair tied in a high ponytail at the top of her head, her face free of excess makeup but exuding a confident and capable temperament.

Mingyue took a sip of coffee and began to speak.

“Youyou, your ‘Mr. Lin’ seems to have some potential for development. You should follow up more with him, and it should improve your performance.”

Youyou nodded with a smile, “Indeed, his ‘Swindler’ has gathered too much momentum. Without even getting any promotion from the website, it managed to climb to the top of the Heroes List, which was completely beyond my expectations.”

Mingyue also smiled, “It’s not just you who didn’t expect it, the chief editor didn’t expect it either. By the way, there’s another piece of news related to this. Do you know?”

“Related news?” Youyou blinked.

“Handon has switched his book,” Mingyue said with a laugh.

Youyou was immediately taken aback.

Handon, a ten-thousand subscription author from Sailing Novel, was one of the ‘The Two Heroes’ in the Heroes List competition, with his work “King of Cheating” starting the same period as Lin Chuan.

Now, he had switched books?

“Because of ‘Swindler’?” Youyou asked curiously.

Mingyue nodded, “According to his editor, after reading ‘Swindler,’ he lost the courage to continue writing his ‘King of Cheating.’”

Youyou’s delicate eyelashes fluttered slightly, “I’ve read some of his ‘King of Cheating’ as well, it was written quite well, but… it ran into Lin Chuan.”

“Mr. Lin’s name is Lin Chuan?” Mingyue inquired.

Youyou nodded slightly.

Mingyue laughed, “Then this kid Lin Chuan has been too ruthless!”

Youyou immediately laughed, defending her author, “Lin Chuan is the underdog.”

If there hadn’t been a crackdown on gambling, Youyou would have claimed that Lin Chuan suffered from poor timing.

Lin Chuan, a reversal of fates!

“So quick to protect your author,” Mingyue chuckled, “By the way, has Lin Chuan sent over the beginning of the story?”

Ding-dong–

Youyou’s QQ received a message.

Lin Chuan: “File/This Assassin Is Too Professional.docx.”

Youyou smiled and lifted her phone, “Guess he heard your call. He just sent over the beginning. I’ll forward it to you.”

The editor-in-chief, Mingyue, set down her coffee and picked up her phone.

Ding, file received.

“I want to see, with ‘Swindler’ so hot right now, he could have written ‘Swindler II.’ Instead, he chooses an assassin? What’s his confidence?”

Mingyue and Youyou, with curiosity, anticipation, and a hint of judgment, opened Lin Chuan’s “This Assassin Is Too Professional” beginning.

‘I am an assassin.’

‘Some call me the King of the Night, others the Reaper of Mankind.’
