SED Chapter 16: The Storm Hasn't Settled



"Xiaotong, is Old Third's fairy tale no good?" Before Wang Xiaotong could finish speaking, Song Qingshan interrupted her anxiously, "Do you really have to go talk to that scumbag Hebishu?"


"Boss, let her finish."


Bailian Sheng nudged Song Qingshan and laughed, "Sister-in-law, you know how stubborn the boss is. Just get straight to the point and tell us the result."


Wang Xiaotong glared at Song Qingshan and then said seriously:


"Liu... Old Third, I can't give you a definite answer right now. How about this: go back and organize all these fairy tales, then give them to me through Qingshan. I'll show them to our children's department editor-in-chief. I'm sure, with her keen eye, she'll agree to publish your fairy tales!"


"Okay, I'll organize them as soon as I get back." Liu Zixia nodded, "Sister-in-law, I also have some other fairy tales. Do you want those too?"


"Yes, yes!" Wang Xiaotong was surprised. She hadn't expected Liu Zixia to have more stories up his sleeve and eagerly nodded like a pecking chicken.


"Great!" Liu Zixia laughed, "I'll organize as many as I can when I get back."


"Okay!"


Wang Xiaotong nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Old Third, once you have them organized, make sure to register the copyrights on the Copyright Association website. These fairy tales are valuable, and not just for the text!"


Liu Zixia understood the value of these fairy tales. Besides the rights for simplified and traditional Chinese, and foreign language publications, there were also potential rights for comics, animations, movies, TV shows...


The value was immeasurable. Liu Zixia would never make the mistake of letting others profit from his work.


"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll register the copyrights for all my fairy tales." Liu Zixia replied seriously.


"Dad, do you have many more stories?"


Little Yueyue, who was drinking yogurt, looked up with bright eyes, "Then, I don't want mom to tell me stories anymore. I want dad to tell me stories every night."


"Little Yueyue, have you forgotten your mom now that you have your dad?" Su Pangzi, who was drinking Sprite, muttered.


"Hmph, bad uncle, I won't talk to you anymore!" Little Yueyue's face turned red, and she proudly turned her head away.


"Haha..."


Everyone laughed at the little one's indignant look.


"Haha, okay, from now on, dad will tell you a story every night." Liu Zixia laughed too. It was rare to see the little one embarrassed, and she looked really cute!


...


At Jinghua University, in the dormitory for the 2013 class boys.


Zhou Haining, who had fallen asleep in front of his computer, suddenly woke up with a start. Judging by his expression, he must have had a nightmare.


"Damn, that scared me!" He rubbed his sore neck and patted his chest in lingering fear, "I knew it, I am after all a small god on Jinghua Sky. It's impossible that no one would reply to my post!"


Looking at the black screen of his computer, Zhou Haining shook the mouse and hit the refresh button.


Ding dong, ding dong!


As soon as he refreshed the Jinghua Sky page, several notification sounds rang out, and the red dot in the lower right corner of the forum mailbox started flashing wildly.


"System mail?"


Zhou Haining raised an eyebrow and instinctively clicked on the backend message station, where two unread emails popped up.


"Congratulations! Your post 【Under the Tree, I Just Met You!】 has been pinned by the music moderator for 36 hours!"


36 hours!


Zhou Haining's eyes widened. In all his years on Jinghua Sky, the longest his posts had ever been pinned was one hour. This time it was extended 36 times longer. 36 hours is the maximum pin time set by the Jinghua Sky forum.


"Congratulations! Your post 【Under the Tree, I Just Met You!】 has been promoted site-wide by the administrator for 24 hours!"


"Damn!"


Zhou Haining was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up from his chair.


But he bumped his head on the upper bunk, causing a small pot hanging from the bed rail to fall and clatter to the ground.


"Haining, what are you doing?"


"We don't have classes today, and you ruined our rare chance to sleep in."


His roommates, still sleeping with their heads covered, woke up to the noise and shouted angrily, filled with the grumpiness of being woken up.


"Hey, guys, sorry!"


Zhou Haining snapped out of it, rubbed the big bump on his head, and didn't seem to mind the pain at all.


No way, Zhou Haining, who was responsible for some backend maintenance of Jinghua Sky, knew that the site had never had any site-wide promotions. This meant that the forum had added this feature just for this post.


After calming down a bit, Zhou Haining sat back at his computer, moved the mouse, and returned to the page of his post. As soon as he entered, he was shocked, "What the heck..."


What met his eyes was a flood of replies and numerous red reward notifications.


Jinghua Sky is not a novel site or a live streaming platform; it's just a film and music forum. Even if there were rewards, they were usually only five or ten yuan at most.


And now?


There were thirty rewards of one hundred yuan each, and countless five and ten yuan rewards, dazzling Zhou Haining.


"Haha, I guess I've made a small fortune. Although I don't know who you are, from today on, I'm your fan!"


Zhou Haining laughed heartily. It seemed all the hard work he put into making the food yesterday had paid off.


Ding dong!


At this moment, another message arrived, but this time it wasn't from the system, but a friend email.


"Wolf Five Brother?"


Seeing this top-notch forum figure, Zhou Haining was surprised.


Although he had interacted with Wolf Five Brother before, their relationship wasn't close enough for private messages.


Opening the email: "Old Paor, is this the Tree Restaurant? Do you know the name and contact information of this man?"


"So that's it, a diamond member taking the initiative to message me."


Zhou Haining understood; he was asking for information. "Brother Five, this is indeed the Tree Restaurant. As for the man's name and contact information, I don't know. However, the restaurant's owner invited him to the second floor, so Boss Zhang should have his contact details."


Ding dong!


The email quickly replied: "Thanks, Old Paor! If this works out, I'll treat you to a meal. Catch you later!"


"Works out? What is it?"


Zhou Haining scratched his head, confused, but quickly forgot about it and excitedly began to read each reply to his post.

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...

This is mtl  Ye Feng crossed over to a parallel world where games were scarce.
