68 Panicking Leader (2/2)

Meanwhile, the fellows in the Webnovel office were all panicking.

”Agh, it's been a whole day since we sent that email... Why hasn't he responded yet?!” The leader of the team was worried.

The rankings had changed drastically since Zhou Lei posted his own novel.

In only one day, he had pushed every other novel down by one notch, his novel taking the top spot, and all this with only one chapter out!

Zhou Lei had scheduled the other 19 chapters to release twice a day, so chapters 2 and 3 were also out.

Within one minute, the comments on both reached 99+, and the views of the novel also reached 2 million!

With a novel as successful as this, they would be idiots if they didn't take this chance!

What they didn't know was that Zhou Lei was just a student, and he did not check his email often. He only checked it when some account needed verification...

However, the team hadn't taken this into thought, considering their panicked state.

They thought that, since the conditions on the contract were not pleasing enough, the author didn't even bother replying!

”Then, uhh... give him better conditions!” The leader commanded.

”Yes, sir!” The employee that was handling this stuff felt the burden of shouldering one of the most successful novels on their platform...

”Say that he doesn't need to meet the quota as long as he keeps the quality up!” The leader hurriedly added. ”And also that he gets 50% of the share... no, 70%!”

”Yes, sir- wait, what?!” The employee couldn't help but be flabbergasted at the leniency of his leader. Usually, this leader of theirs was very strict with the conditions, so much so that he would terminate the contract and make the author compensate for their loss as soon as he missed one quota!

”Hurry! Else he might discover the gold of his novel and give it to some other site!”

”Y- yes!”
