Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 353 The world has suffered under Cao Sheng for too long

Tonight's date was initiated by Cao Sheng, who asked Huang Qingya out.

During class in the afternoon, he suddenly realized that since the rumors had spread so widely at school, Huang Qingya had probably heard about them as well.

If he really did something, then there's naturally no need to explain.

But he did nothing.

He just wanted to explain to her, whether she believed it or not, he just wanted to introduce them to her, so that this rumor wouldn't affect their relationship.

Of course, there's another reason: it's been hot lately, and it's easy to get a sore throat. He wanted her help to cool down. Isn't this the kind of thing you do when you're young and dating? Otherwise, why would you even be looking for a partner?
The date was to be held at a fish restaurant on Binjiang Road.

The main dishes are fish and shrimp from the Xin'an River, which are delicious.

Dining by the window, with the night view of the Xin'an River outside, is indeed a wonderful experience.

Cao Sheng briefly explained the rumors of the day, and Huang Qingya listened with a smile, occasionally putting some food on his plate. She didn't seem angry at all.

After he finished explaining, she smiled and asked, "You said they wanted you to guide them in writing their novels, so did you give them any guidance?"

Cao Sheng shook his head, "No! We just talked about it yesterday, how could it be so fast?"

Huang Qingya: "So, are you planning to give me some pointers?"

Cao Sheng glanced at her expression and smiled, "Just give them a runaround! After all, they're juniors from my high school. If they really have a talent for writing and come to me, I can take a look at their writing and offer my own opinions."

Huang Qingya smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that rumors about you two will spread again?"

Cao Sheng: "The media has no integrity. If they really want to spread rumors about you, they can make up a story no matter who you interact with. For example, if I interact normally with a young and beautiful girl, they can say that we are dating; if I interact normally with a middle-aged woman, they can say that I am really hungry and will not even spare a middle-aged woman; even if I do not interact with women at all, they can still make up stories that I have come out of the closet and like men."

"Puch..."

Huang Qingya was amused.

Suddenly, I thought of some foreign news I've seen frequently in the past two years. "Hey! Hearing you say that, I suddenly remembered the news about celebrities coming out as gay that's been circulating overseas these past two years. Could it all be fabricated by the media?"

Cao Sheng smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe!"

Seeing that Huang Qingya wasn't dwelling on today's scandal, he felt slightly relieved.

After meal.

The two strolled hand in hand along the riverside road.

A cool breeze blows along the riverbank, and willows sway gently in the breeze.

They seemed to have returned to the time when they first started dating.

Huang Qingya: "Time flies! In the blink of an eye, we've known each other for so long. By the way, have you been to that little courtyard on Binjiang Road recently?"

Cao Sheng: "No, it's been a long time since I've been there."

Huang Qingya: "I haven't been there in a long time either. How about we go take a look over there?"

That small courtyard was where Cao Sheng lived when they first met.

Their early dates almost all took place in that small courtyard, where they have many memories, such as in bed, in the study, in the bathroom, on the sofa, etc., all of which contain their fond memories of each other.

Sun Liang and Lei Zhen followed Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya at a distance, acting as bodyguards.

They followed Cao Sheng all the way to his small courtyard on Binjiang Road. Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya entered the courtyard, while Sun Liang and Lei Zhen paced back and forth outside the gate, like in the movie "Lust, Caution," where the male and female protagonists were having fun inside while a group of bodyguards with large dogs stood guard outside.

In fact, after Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya entered the house, they looked around upstairs and downstairs, and soon embraced each other.

Let's get started and have some fun!

For Cao Sheng, this is one of the few ways he can relax.

……

Same night.

Beijing.

When Feng Xiaogang was having dinner with some friends, they talked about Cao Sheng.

One of them said, "Director Feng, are you still waiting for Cao Sheng to write a script for you? I don't think there's any hope if you just wait like this. Haven't you been waiting for a long time? 'A World Without Thieves' has been out of theaters for a while, right? You should be starting to prepare for your next movie by now, right? When will you finally get yours if you keep waiting like this?"

Feng Xiaogang was puzzled. "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by waiting like this with no hope?"

The man chuckled. "You don't know? I heard that this kid surnamed Cao is in the news again today because of his scandalous affair with two young girls last night! Look at him! This guy likes beautiful women! Have you ever arranged any beautiful women for him? He's already written several proposals for you, and you still haven't arranged a couple for him? You expect him to write proposals for you for free?"

This remark made the others at the table burst into laughter.

Several people chimed in to agree.

Feng Xiaogang's curiosity was piqued, and he quickly pressed for details about Cao Sheng's scandal. After learning the details, he thoughtfully picked up his wine glass and took a sip absentmindedly.

……

Hong Kong.

It's already past 8 p.m.

Even though he's a superstar, Andy Lau is still working out at a gym, sweating profusely, but he's still sticking to his routine.

He is an extremely self-disciplined person.

To maintain his physique and health, he not only eats a vegetarian diet year-round, but also maintains a regular fitness routine.

When I don't have any commitments, I work out almost every day.

At 40 years old, he still has defined abs, which is proof of his self-discipline.

He continued jumping rope for another hundred times until he was completely exhausted. Then he went to sit down on a nearby bench, drank some water, and rested.

At this moment, his assistant came over and wiped his sweat.

Andy Lau closed his eyes and relaxed his body, casually asking, "What major events happened in the entertainment industry today?"

The assistant thought for a moment and then told him a few things.

For example, a celebrity makes a mistake on a TV show, sparking heated discussions among netizens; a director and a female star are rumored to have spent the night together; an investor decides to invest in a movie, and so on.

As they talked, they came up with the topic of Cao Sheng.

"Oh, right, and there's also Zhongyuan Yidianhui, whom you asked me to keep an eye on. Rumors about her have surfaced today as well."

Andy Lau was a little surprised and opened his eyes.

Because he felt that Cao Sheng had only stepped halfway into the entertainment industry, the scandals in the entertainment industry should not have much to do with him. The previous scandal with Wang Zuxian was already quite surprising, so why is he being rumored to be having an affair with someone else today?
"Really? Which female celebrity is he rumored to be having an affair with this time?" he asked.

The assistant chuckled and shook his head, saying, "They're not female celebrities, but two beautiful young women. They're probably ordinary people. The paparazzi caught him with his arm around one of the girls' waists last night."

"That's all?"

Andy Lau almost laughed.

The assistant hummed in agreement.

Suddenly, Andy Lau sighed softly, closed his eyes again with some disappointment, and said lazily, "It seems he really doesn't want to write scripts anymore. I went to him in person to ask for a script last time, and so much time has passed. He has time to date pretty girls, but he hasn't written a script for me. What a pity!"

The assistant remained silent, quietly massaging Andy Lau's shoulders to help him relax.

……

online.

Discussions about Cao Sheng's scandals are also ubiquitous, such as in the book review section of "The Legend of the Primordial Era".

The various discussion posts attracted the attention of many readers.

For example: "Hey Ash! Write a book about picking up girls next! Share your rich experience with us! We really want to learn!"

"Who is the beautiful woman in the white dress? Has anyone recognized her real identity?"

In the comments section of this post, someone has already revealed Tan Yu's identity, including her school name, class name, and other information.

……

Old Pig, after reading today's updated chapter of "The Legend of the Primordial Era", I habitually came to the book review section of "The Legend of the Primordial Era" and saw many posts discussing Cao Sheng's scandals.

As Old Pig watched, a smile crept onto his lips. He muttered to himself, "Ash! So you've finally started to succumb? Not bad, not bad! If you don't succumb soon, when will we ever have a chance to rise up? Keep it up! Two is too few! Next time, invite three or four at the same time! You can afford to invite more! Keep it up! Don't let me down!"

The Third Young Master also saw Cao Sheng's scandal.

A smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes became exceptionally bright.

The people have suffered under Cao Sheng for far too long!
If Cao Sheng doesn't fall into depravity soon, he's about to succumb to it.

Now that he saw Cao Sheng finally showing signs of depravity, he was just as happy as Old Pig.

Jin Hezai had a good relationship with Cao Sheng.

But seeing Cao Sheng's scandal online today, he was secretly happy.

Like many online writers, he lived in Cao Sheng's shadow.

Even though he has made great progress in the past two years, Cao Sheng has always been the ceiling of the online literature world, firmly occupying the No.1 position in the industry. If Cao Sheng does not step down from this position, no one else will have a chance to rise to the top.

In fact, many writers today share similar feelings.

They both envied Cao Sheng for being able to date two beautiful women at once, and were also happy to see Cao Sheng indulging in his private life. Everyone hoped that Cao Sheng would become more and more depraved.

Indeed, Cao Sheng's works have become increasingly impressive since his debut.

After the publication of "Living with an Air Hostess", many people thought that Zhongyuan Yidianhui, the author of this book, was an author who reached the peak of his career right from the start.

It will be difficult for me to write works that are more popular in the future.

After all, he was just a first-year college student, and his knowledge and life experience were certainly limited. Under such circumstances, it was already quite remarkable that he was able to write a popular work.

As a result, not long after he finished writing this book, he wrote "I Want to Become an Immortal", pioneering the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) and cultivation genre.

Just when everyone thought this must be his peak.

He also wrote "The Tomb of the Gods".

While the subject matter wasn't particularly innovative, the absurdly fast-paced writing style dazzled countless viewers.

This book is similar in theme to "I Want to Become an Immortal", leading many to believe that Cao Sheng has run out of new themes and his creativity is no longer as amazing as before.

The results of it?
He then wrote "The Exquisite Tower of Heaven and Earth," a novel subject with a fast-paced writing style and one original film world after another. Most outrageous of all, almost all of the original film worlds in this book sold as scripts, and some of them even sold for astronomical prices.

The successive publication of these works has made the name "Zhongyuan Yidianhui" a golden brand and a legend.

Other writers in the industry, even if they are dissatisfied, can only keep quiet and look up to them.

Many people are hoping that Cao Shengjiang's talent will run dry and his spirit will be exhausted.

Many people believe that Cao Sheng is incapable of producing any truly amazing works.

but……

Cao Sheng then produced "The Legend of the Primordial Era," pioneering a completely new genre—the Primordial Era genre.

Many people lost the will to compete with Cao Sheng.

It wasn't until Cao Sheng's script fees for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Twilight" were revealed, with earnings exceeding 100 million yuan, that many people finally saw hope that Cao Sheng would stop making a killing.

During that period, many authors and readers confidently analyzed that Cao Sheng, having made so much money, would definitely lose his motivation to work harder.

He's already a billionaire; he doesn't even have enough time to enjoy life, let alone seriously write novels. Even if he were to write something, it would definitely be a screenplay. Screenplays have fewer words and earn more money. Unless Cao Sheng has lost his mind, he's unlikely to continue devoting himself to writing novels.

To everyone's delight, Cao Sheng's novel updates were indeed very slow during that period; one month, only one episode of "The Legend of the Primordial Era" was published.

This seems to confirm everyone's judgment: he has lost the motivation to write novels.

pity……

Before everyone could enjoy their happiness for long, Cao Sheng's update frequency over the next few months began to manipulate everyone's mindset.

Two episodes will be published this month, three episodes next month, and only two episodes the month after that...

His condition fluctuated; it seemed both unstable and stable.

The key point is that the reputation of "The Legend of the Primordial Era" has not declined significantly to this day.

Physical book sales still lead the publishing market in both Taiwan and mainland China.

Online popularity reflects the level of a super popular work.

When will he finally give up?
Many of his peers are eagerly waiting for him to falter.

Yes!
He is the pioneer of online literature, and everyone is grateful to him for creating online novels, giving everyone an opportunity to showcase their talents.

but……

Who likes the original that has remained popular for so long?

Therefore, when many people saw or heard that Cao Sheng had met up with two beautiful women at the same time last night, they were not worried about his kidneys, but only about whether he would continue to degenerate like this.

……

late at night.

Back in his rented teacher's dormitory, Cao Sheng turned on his computer. Since it was late, he decided not to write any articles that night.

I just want to surf the internet and relax.

As he wandered around, he ended up in the book review section of "The Legend of the Primordial Era".

I've seen many posts discussing my own scandals.

He even saw a post that said, "Ah Hui! Would you dare to date three beautiful women at the same time? I bet you wouldn't! Want to make a bet?"

Cao Sheng noticed the post, which was actually written by a popular author.

Cao Sheng chuckled slightly.

He also saw a post that said, "The corrupting power of money is truly immense! The author has finally fallen; I wonder how far he will stray..."

Have we fallen into depravity?

Cao Sheng asked himself honestly, and thinking about his new book "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" which he was preparing recently, and the script "The Mistake of Murder" which he started writing last night, he felt at ease.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

He thought it was sent by Huang Qingya.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Tan Yu.

"Senior, I'm so sorry! Today's news has affected your reputation. Are you alright?"
