Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Liu Siyuan is a programmer in an Internet company, but in private he is also one of the moderators of a literary forum.

This literary forum is not very famous, with only a few hundred visitors every day, but Liu Siyuan is very attentive to the maintenance of this forum, because most of the members of this forum are like-minded friends, everyone gets together, shares their favorite articles, and communicates with each other. This feeling makes Liu Siyuan very enjoyable.

As one of the three moderators, Liu Siyuan is probably the one with the least sense of existence. This is also related to his way of dealing with people. He likes Laozi and likes to rule by inaction, so he only shares articles in the forum, but rarely uses the rights of moderators.

But today he feels that he should use the rights of moderators, because the novel in his hand is worth it.

Enter the forum URL, log in to the moderator account, Liu Siyuan looks at the newspaper in his hand, and moves the articles on it into his own post little by little. After more than an hour, the novel of more than 10,000 words has been gathered in one post. With the click of publish, the webpage automatically refreshes, and the post has appeared on the forum.

This is not over yet. Liu Siyuan used his authority to add essence to the post, changed the title to a bright color, and used the right to pin it. His post soon appeared on the homepage of the forum.

At this time, there were sixty or seventy people online in the forum. When they refreshed the webpage next time, they would find that a new post had been changed to the homepage of the forum without knowing when.

"The moderator recommends a wonderful novel, Ghost Blowing Light! Absolutely conscientious work." - Drinking water and remembering its source.

Drinking water and remembering its source is Liu Siyuan's online name. Seeing that it was recommended by the moderator, someone soon visited this post.

Liu Siyuan refreshed the post again and again in front of the computer screen, waiting for a reply.

One minute passed... The post had 5 hits, but there was no reply.

Five minutes passed... The post had 23 hits, but there was still no reply.

Fifteen minutes passed... The post had been clicked over 100 times. When Liu Siyuan refreshed it again, he finally saw that his post had a reply.

"The book recommended by Yinshui Siyuan is good and interesting. The part about the white paper man really made me tremble. I won't say more. I'll just leave my name in the front row. I'll continue to read it." - Little Water Cat

Seeing that someone replied and agreed with his recommendation, Liu Siyuan couldn't help but smile proudly.

When he refreshed the post again five minutes later, there were more than ten replies. Obviously, many people had read the novel during this period and came out to express their feelings.

"It's really good, but it's too short, and it seems to be a bit unfinished."

"Yeah, what happened to Hu Bayi when he went to Inner Mongolia with the book "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art"?"

"This is just a prequel, Drinking Water, please upload the main text later. How powerful is that Feng Shui Secret Art book, and is Hu Bayi the protagonist?"

"Please ask for a sequel..."

More than ten messages, all of which are unanimous praise. In the simple rating system of the forum, this book "Ghost Blowing the Light" has temporarily received a full score. Although I don't know if it will lose fans later, in Liu Siyuan's opinion, the rating of this novel should not be bad.

However, Liu Siyuan really has no good way to deal with the book friends asking for the content of the later chapters. He can only open another post to inform everyone that he accidentally found this novel in a newspaper.

"Yanshan Wenbao? It's our local newspaper in Kyoto, right? I think I saw it at the newsstand." - Peter Pan

"Kyoto's newspaper? Damn, we don't have any here." - Lazy Pig

"Please keep updating, moderator. We outsiders are all relying on you." - People who love reading

Seeing the requests of the book friends, Liu Siyuan of course agreed immediately, and he has made up his mind. If this novel takes long enough, he may have to subscribe to a quarter of Yanshan Wenbao.

At this moment, in the Yanshan Wenbao newspaper office, Liu Yuan was waiting for the result with a tired face.

Since proofreading late last night, Liu Yuan has only slept for less than three hours. It's not that he has no time to sleep because of his busy work, but he has something in his heart and can't sleep at all.

It has been several hours since the dispatch car set off in the daytime, but Liu Yuan didn't get the expected call.

In the past few hours, he had already drunk three large pots of tea and even went to the toilet more than ten times. However, even so, his mouth was still swollen with fire. He was too anxious and very afraid that the result he expected would not be satisfactory. Then the manpower and material resources he wasted during this period would prove to be wrong, and it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his competition for the position of editor-in-chief.

"Ah..." Liu Yuan looked at his watch and sighed again. Just now, the phone rang. It was indeed a discussion about advertising. In the past, Liu Yuan would be happy to come and discuss such things himself, but now he had no interest at all. After chatting for a few words, he handed it over to the employees of the business department.

"Why haven't you called yet... Did you ask someone to urge the other end? Why is the data feedback so slow?" Liu Yuan lay on the table, thinking irritably in his heart. At this time, the phone rang again.

"Hello, this is Yanshan Wenbao, I am Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu Yuan."

"Editor-in-Chief Liu, good news." A voice on the other end of the phone made Liu Yuan's eyes light up instantly, and his whole spirit seemed to be instantly radiant.

"The report you asked me to count has come out. The feedback from each stall is very good. Our newspapers are selling very well today. Some newsstands even asked for more subscriptions. This has not happened for many years..."

The person on the other side was still sighing, but Liu Yuan could not hear clearly, because his mind was full of the word "add subscriptions". In this era when the newspaper industry only has "reduced subscriptions", Liu Yuan was sure that his decision had finally paid off when he suddenly heard the word "add subscriptions".

Temporarily suppressing his excitement, Liu Yuan asked the person on the other side to report the increase in subscriptions. In the end, the statistics showed that there were less than 2,000 more copies.

And these 2,000 copies were obviously just the beginning. In the following hours, the editorial department of Yanshan Wenbao gradually became lively.

From two or three good news calls in the first hour to more than ten or even dozens of calls in the next hour, some were asking for more subscriptions, and some were asking about the content of the next issue of the newspaper. All these changes pointed to one thing, that is, the novel "Ghost Blowing the Light" serialized in the newspaper.

Liu Yuan stood in the office, watching the busy employees outside answering the phone through the glass window, and couldn't help but smile.

This time it seems that the bet was right.

However, what Liu Yuan didn't expect was that the next situation was completely beyond his expectations.
