Chapter 433: Chapter 411: Unfair Battle_1
Lin Xuan was stunned!
Now, everything made sense!
Why she wasn’t laid off by Silver Blue in the first place; why she was parachuted into a key department as soon as she joined the new company; why she was directly assigned to the Fairytale Department, which was known for favoritism, after accumulating some work experience; why the editor-in-chief took special care of her; why the short story department and the Fantasy Department competed to recruit her…
Because Chu Kuang was behind her!
These people were taking care of her, all because they wanted to please Chu Kuang!
And the ultimate reason was her own younger brother!
Chu Kuang, Xian Yu, and Shadow were publicly acknowledged as the Three Bros. Chu Kuang would take care of her because of her brother’s request. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to favor her at all.
They weren’t even acquainted!
Considering that Chu Kuang had specifically sent over a fairy tale manuscript, her brother’s relationship with Chu Kuang perhaps was even better than she had imagined!
Even if her brother had learned over dinner last night that she was short of a fairy tale manuscript on her side, he would have had to contact Chu Kuang right away, and Chu Kuang would have had to work overnight to fulfill her brother’s request!
“A script completed overnight?”
Lin Xuan was taken aback.
At that moment, she felt as if she were possessed by Poirot!
After unraveling everything, in her shock, she finally understood everything!
Turns out she truly was a beneficiary of favoritism, and not just any favoritism!
In an instant, thousands of thoughts crossed Lin Xuan’s mind, and she had to maintain her composure:
“Thank you, Mr. Cao…”
“No need to be polite!”
Mr. Cao Dezhi’s smile was warm and inviting, and he confidently declared, “If there’s anything you need help with in the future, Lin, don’t hesitate to come to me. The mystery department is always behind you!”
Meanwhile, behind Mr. Cao Dezhi.
Zhang Yang and Shui Zhourou’s expressions had hardened due to the initial shock.
It was Chu Kuang!
Many people in the company had speculated about Lin Xuan’s background, but neither of them had ever dreamed that her backer was Chu Kuang!
God!
No wonder Lin Xuan was given preferential treatment in the company with GOAT behind her!
“The manuscript has been delivered.”
After showing his attitude, Mr. Cao Dezhi smiled and said, “I will take my leave now. Lin, you are always welcome to visit us!”
“Alright.”
Lin Xuan wanted to see him out, but Mr. Cao Dezhi waved his hand, “No need to see me out, Lin. You should get back to work.”
Saying this, Mr. Cao Dezhi coolly turned around.
As he passed Zhang Yang and Shui Zhourou, his smile became formal, polite yet indifferent, lacking the warmth he showed to Lin Xuan:
“Sorry for the interruption.”
Lin Xuan also smiled politely at them and then hurriedly turned around to return to her office.
Right now, Equation, who had witnessed all of this along with some employees, felt extremely fortunate.
As the saying goes, when one man gets a promotion, even his pets rise to heaven!
He felt astute for deciding to be Lin Xuan’s personal assistant!
Indeed, Lin Xuan had someone backing her!
And this person was extremely influential!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and Shui Zhourou shared a silent glance and then each returned to their offices.
Just before entering the office, Zhang Yang turned around and looked at some editors who were still in a daze:
“What are you all looking at? Get back to work!”
Everyone quickly responded, but their faces still clearly showed the astonishment and shock caused by that name.
…
After getting back to her office, Lin Xuan called Lin Yuan first thing.
As soon as the call was connected, Lin Xuan couldn’t wait to ask:
“Did you ask Chu Kuang to help me?”
“Sort of.”
Lin Yuan calmly replied over the phone, as if he had already expected his sister to call.
“How close are you two?”
Even though she had guessed the truth, Lin Xuan still felt a surge of joy.
Lin Yuan did not respond directly, just laughed and said: “If sister needs any help in the company, just talk to me directly.”
“Alright, I got it, say thanks to Chu Kuang for me.”
“No need to say thanks between family.”
“Who is thanking you? I am telling you to thank Chu Kuang!”
“Hmm.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to thank him in person?”
“No need at all.”
“・・・”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan settled her emotions and then eagerly refreshed her mailbox.
The email sent by Cao Dezhi, was lying quietly inside the mailbox, with the name of the email simply titled:
Snow White!
Is this the fairy tale script that Chu Kuang wrote overnight?
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan opened it directly, but her heart was a bit unsettled.
Although Chu Kuang is very brilliant, fairy tales are after all an area that he has never ventured into. Additionally, the script was hastily written overnight by Chu Kuang, is the quality really comparable to those renowned fairy tale authors?
Meanwhile.
Inside Shui Zhourou’s office.
Shui Zhourou and her assistant returned to the office without saying a word.
After a while, the assistant exclaimed, “I never thought Chu Kuang would be the one backing her.”
Shui Zhourou gradually recovered from the shock.
She didn’t shy away from admitting: “This place is originally filled with nepotism, all three of us deputy editors came into position through connections.”
“You can’t say that, your abilities are obvious.”
The assistant flattered, then laughed: “Actually, this is not entirely a bad thing. In a situation where all three deputy editors have strong backgrounds, who becomes editor-in-chief ultimately depends on ability. Even Chu Kuang has to abide by this rule, so he can only help Lin Xuan in the creative aspect. But we all know that Chu Kuang is not a fairy tale author at all!”
“That’s true.”
Shui Zhourou gradually relaxed.
What if Lin Xuan has a powerful background?
All three deputy editors have strong backgrounds, so what everyone eventually compares is performance.
This is the Fairy Tale Department!
At the end of the day, it’s about the quality of the stories!
Meanwhile, in the office next to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang reached similar conclusions: “If this were the Mystery Department, I would have surrendered straightforwardly. With the help of Chu Kuang, the position of editor-in-chief would definitely be Lin Xuan’s in the future. But here we are in the Fairy Tale Department, can Chu Kuang really write fairy tales?”
The assistant laughed: “Whether he can or not, he did write one already and gave the script to Lin Xuan.”
“It’s Chu Kuang, it’s too normal for him to be this confident.”
Zhang Yang slightly smiled: “Although I grew up in the literary circle, and I know that no author in this world is truly versatile. Even though Chu Kuang is a genius, trying to venture into the fairy tale field for the first time, which is completely unfamiliar, it would be very hard for him to perform well. After all, the first opponents he would face in the fairy tale circle are renowned fairy tale authors like Qiqi and Jin Shan.”
“That’s true.”
The assistant also laughed: “But I must admit, when I found out that Chu Kuang was Lin Xuan’s support, I really panicked for a moment.”
“Who didn’t panic?”
Zhang Yang snorted, “I was panicked too. Not to mention me, didn’t you notice how pale Shui Zhourou turned when she heard? Chu Kuang, this unparalleled legend, is not an ordinary supporter. Plus, he excels in more than one genre. What if he can actually write fairy tales?”
“He should be able to write since he gave Lin Xuan a script. But how well he can write is still a question. It can’t be that his first attempt at writing a fairy tale would be better than famous fairy tale authors like Qiqi and Jin Shan, no way, I don’t believe it!”
There was a pause.
The assistant joked: “Are we about to slay a god now?”
Zhang Yang smirked, “Keep dreaming. We’re just taking advantage of the fact Chu Kuang has no experience writing fairy tales. If you really want to defeat a god, why don’t you find someone to compete with Chu Kuang on the genres he excels at?”
The assistant laughed awkwardly.
Zhang Yang rubbed his hands, “Speaking of which, I am a fan of Chu Kuang. Never thought that one day I would be competing with him, although this competition is really not fair to my idol.”
Once this was clear, Zhang Yang and Shui Zhourou no longer felt nervous.
Having authors from other fields come here to compete with famous authors in the fairy tale field, and compare who can write better fairy tales?
That is inherently unfair.
The assistant said softly: “But this unfairness, is Chu Kuang’s own choice.”
