As the saying goes, when some people celebrated, there would be some worrying.

In just a month’s time, Zhong Dian website rose to fame, while over at Turkey Bookstore, they were having a miserable time.

Turkey Bookstore, big conference room.

Liu Mingcheng furiously slammed on the table. “All of you are useless pieces of sh*t! The originally supreme Turkey Bookstore! The Turkey Bookstore with a daily IP of 1.2 million plus! Look at all of you, in just a month, the site traffic has dropped to such a standard!? 0.6 million! Only 0.6 million is left! What about Zhong Dian website? Their daily IP has already exceeded 0.5 million and is still increasing rapidly!”

Speaking up to this point, Liu Mingcheng’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. “Shouldn’t you guys be telling me how this happened!?”

When he asked this, the whole conference room was silent. Everyone lowered down their head and didn’t dare to say a single word.

“Zheng Wenhao!” Liu Mingcheng pointed at Director Zheng. “You name is called Wenhao 1 , what now, why aren’t you Wenhao anymore! You caused the daily site traffic of Turkey Bookstore to drop from 1.2 million to 0.6 million and still falling! What do you have to say!?”

Zheng Wenhao frantically tried to wipe away his cold sweat. “Young… Young Master, previously, I saw that you were in a bad mood. So, I thought that boosting our sales performance would make you happy. Just at that time, a few companies wanted to post advertisements on Zhong Dian website but were rejected and came over to us. Therefore, I thought…”

Liu Mingcheng scolded, “Thought, you thought your butt! Advertisements, is there anyone putting advertisements like you guys? I opened up the website just now and saw the whole screen full of advertisements. Not only that, even another seven to eight of them popped up. How do you expect readers to read in this kind of condition? Have all your experiences and sense went to the drain!?”

Liu Mingcheng continued to scold, “Furthermore! Where’s the money from the advertisements!? So many advertisements, but where is the money? Where has the money gone to? 4,000 per day, you f*cking only give me 4,000 a day, 120,000 a month, and you caused such a big online bookstore to be ruined just because of this!”

Speaking up to this point, Liu Mingcheng almost wanted to kick this useless person. “Did your eyes grow on your butt? You still dared to laugh at Hong Dali for being a prodigal, I think that you’re the real prodigal! He rose from almost nothing to today’s achievement in such a short time, what about you guys? Now that the site traffic is cut in half, half of the authors have also left! Originally, every three days, there were about 3,000 novels that were updated, but we’re left with only 1,600 now. And that’s because these novels are already at the finishing phase!”

“Looking again at Zhong Dian website! The number of updates every three days has reached 1,200 novels and is still rising!”

Liu Mingcheng got angrier the more he spoke. “At that time, you told me that the advertisement fees weren’t a small amount, the money already reached their doorsteps and yet, he still pushed it away, there must be something wrong with his brain. I see that you’re the idiot with something wrong in the brain!”

“Then… then what should we do?” Zheng Wenhao had totally broken down. If this carries on, he would definitely lose his position of director. He must think of a plan fast. “Young Master, I, I really wanted to earn more money to make you happy. Then, then, let’s take down the advertisements!”

“You only thought of taking down the advertisements now!?” Liu Mingcheng was indeed the second Young Master of the Liu Family. Although he couldn’t be compared to his brother Liu Mingxin, he did indeed have the capability to cut his losses. “Remove all of the advertisements and change the payout method to the same as the Zhong Dian’s! Then, I want a lot of advertisements to promote our website!”

“But.. but…” Zheng Wenhao’s whole body was drenched. “Then we will… will…” He willed for half a day before finally gathering his courage and saying, “Then we won’t have any source of income!”

Liu Mingcheng was so angry that he jumped. “Income!? You still dare to mention income to me!? Such a large Turkey Bookstore has come to this stage because of you guys, and you still dare to mention income to me!? If you guys have income, then who is going to pay for my loss!? Who is going to be responsible!?”

“This… this…” Zheng Wenhao totally couldn’t say anything now. Because of his wrong decision, the site traffic of Turkey Bookstore directly shrunk to half its original size. He couldn’t talk his way out of this situation even if his body were full of mouths. In the end, he only helplessly said, “O… OK, I understand…”

“If the site traffic couldn’t increase in two months, all of you can get out of here!” Liu Mingcheng violently slammed the door. “A bunch of useless sh*t!”

…

Regarding how depressed Liu Mingcheng was, Hong Dali naturally had no idea of it. In fact, he had never considered Liu Mingcheng to be his rival. After having seen his brother Liu Mingxin, Liu Mingcheng didn’t seem to be any threat no matter how he looked at it. It was just like how a rich young master who could hug a celebrity every day wouldn’t set his eyes on a prostitute.

After all, the difference in quality between them was too huge.

Therefore, at this time, Hong Dali was in Chenhui Building’s ninth floor happily doing the shooting for the second episode of Unexpectedly! .

Still the male lackey with a slightly deep voice: “This episode is sponsored and broadcasted by Zhong Dian website—” Hong Dali: “Our aim, is the sea of stars.”

Without a doubt, once this episode was released, the site traffic of Zhong Dian website would definitely rise sharply…

…

During the shooting of Unexpectedly! .

Hong Dali’s face looked foolish yet cute as he half opened his eyes and stared like a dead fish, saying, “My name is Wang Dachui, and today is the day for my interview. I will definitely get this position!” As he said so, he looked at the slightly plump male lackey beside him. That male lackey was not only eating a packed lunch, but he was also digging his nose at the same time. “This type of fat and round loser also dared to come and compete with me, he is definitely seeking his own death!”

Then, a sweet-looking female lackey immediately walked up. “Oppa~~~ it has been hard on you mwah! You must do your best for your interview later!”

“…” Hong Dali stared with his dead fish-like eyes, slighting opened his mouth, and sent the female lackey off with his eyes. “Hehe…”

“Brouhaha!” When the storyline was shot up to this point, the people around had already collapsed onto the floor in laughter. Tang Muxin grabbed her stomach and laughed. “Dali, how did you manage to think of such a scenario. Hehe, this is so funny that it’s killing me, hahaha!”

Hong Dali, who had already finished shooting, said with a calm face, “Oh, your tolerance level is really low.”

…

The interview started.

Another male lackey with a fearsome face: “What is your specialization?”

“This kind of attitude, is he looking down on me!? I really want to tell him loudly where I’m from!” Hong Dali crossed his hands, his expression was as if he were someone very impressive. “I’m the holder of the first-class award from the Heavenly State’s Tianjing University’s course of Finance Management!”

“Ah—!!” The male lackey kowtowed his head on the office table. “I kneel down to you!”

The scene changed.

“But what I actually said was…” Hong Dali’s face was dispirited and low. “I’m from the College of Tractor Mechanics… the course of Hand-held Tractors…”

The surrounding people collapsed in laughter again.

…

“Not long later, I will have a raise in salary, be promoted, become CEO, get married to a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited…”

…

Two hours later.

Hong Dali stretched his waist. “Ah, the shooting has finally finished!”

He violently puffed and weirdly looked at the people around him. “What’s up with your expressions? Is there something wrong?”

Tang Muxin laughed till she couldn’t straighten her back. “Dali, you’re too talented. You can really make a spoof. Such a simple video of an interview has become so interesting due to your ideas, hehe.” As she said so, she jumped to Hong Dali’s side and reached out her tender, small hand to pinch Hong Dali’s face. “How did you come up with it? Quick, tell me, tell me!”

“Let go, let go, the pain!” Hong Dali hurriedly escaped from Tang Muxin’s demon grasp. “A valiant life doesn’t need to be explained!”

“Cheh, pretending to be mysterious!” Tang Muxin pouted. But, after all, she was just a pure and innocent girl. Very quickly, she smiled again and asked, “Dali, you’re really evil. Turkey Bookstore’s site traffic is already low enough, and now, with this advertisement for Zhong Dian website, you’re causing them to fall even more! Why didn’t I realize that you were so clever last time?”

“How can I live if I let you see through me.” Hong Dali did a bit of warm up to exercise the muscles and bones in his body and said, “OK, I shall leave the end stage production to you, Sister Cai.”

“Young Master, don’t worry. I have already prepared everything.” Zhang Cai smiled and said, “Young Master, are you planning on going out for a walk? Let Nianwei follow you, she has nothing to do here anyway.” When she finished this sentence, she suddenly said again, “Oh right, Chu Zhongqin came to look for you just now. I don’t know what it’s for.”

Hong Dali weirdly said, “Chu Zhongqin? What could he want from me? It couldn’t be that he wants to play the hidden rules with me? Speaking of which, I’m not interested in males…” Regardless of that, Hong Dali had to admit that Chu Zhongqin did have some discerning character. Hong Dali said, “Ask him to come here first.”

Not long later, Chu Zhongqin diligently ran over. Once he saw Hong Dali, he immediately bowed and said, “Young Master, I’m here.”

“How’s your practice these two days? Your opponents are not weak, don’t expect me to cover for you every time.” He blocked the possibilities for this topic directly. If not, it wouldn’t be interesting if he used this kind of method every time in the show. “What do you want?”

Surprisingly, Chu Zhongqin didn’t mention a word about “I Am a Singer.” “Oh, it’s like this. When I was resting after finishing with practice, I looked at Weibo and happened to see that, at Tianjin’s west fourth loop, at the southwest corner, there is a private zoo that seems to be changing its business service. It plans to sell away the animals. Therefore, I was wondering, since Young Master likes to raise dogs, you must have a liking towards other animals. Such an opportunity is quite rare, so I immediately came to inform you.” When he finished, he didn’t forget to add, “Hehe, speaking of which, I’m an acquaintance of the owner of the zoo. If Young Master is interested, I can help you contact him.”

“Oh?!” Upon hearing Chu Zhongqin’s news, Hong Dali’s eyes immediately lit-up like lightbulbs. “Seriously! Awesome! Your news is too awesome! I was thinking that just raising dogs wasn’t interesting enough, hahaha! Good! Reward! 20,000!”

“Thank you, my Lord.” An experienced old guy like Chu Zhongqin wouldn’t waste such a good opportunity. He immediately said, “I have received a lot of help from you. Therefore, I should show some gratitude too. Then, shall I contact him now?”

“OK, go quickly!” Hong Dali laughed loudly. “Oh my, the animals of a private zoo going on sale, this is really not bad. Just the cost to feed them for a day should be quite a bit, right? This time, the outer area of Tianjing Mountain can be put to good use, haha.”

Upon hearing Hong Dali mention the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, Tang Muxin’s eyes lit up as well. “Dali, you’re really something! When you wanted to buy the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, I thought it was just because you wanted to squander. But now, from the looks of things, if you buy over the animals, you can build a small zoo there or something. That should be quite a good idea, at least it will reap some rewards!”

Hong Dali said, “There is no rush for rewards. After Old Chu has contacted the owner, let’s go and take a look at the animals first!”

Very quickly, Chu Zhongqin diligently ran back, smiled, and said, “Young Master, I have contacted him. The owner asked when could we go over, he will come and fetch us.”

Hong Dali liked to go to the zoo to look at animals from a young age. He definitely wouldn’t waste such an opportunity. “Is there a need to ask? We’re going now!”
