The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 595 Follow Your Own Values
"I'm from Shanghai, so when we were choosing a topic, Professor Gao said that Shanghai is a window to China, and there must be many stories to write about there, so he told me to think of them myself."

At first, I didn't know what was suitable, so I begged Teacher Gao for some pointers and did a lot of research before finally deciding on buying a house.

Jiang Shuying spoke with great interest.

Although Xu Jiuyang maintained a smile and occasionally hummed in agreement to show he was listening, his mind was actually elsewhere.

After going on and on about all that, and even having Guo Zhenni bring up the topic, I just wanted to know what the subject matter of her first work was.

After all, Jiang Shuying had already said on the way here that she was ready to start creating, while Ni Ni was still practicing her writing skills.

As long as Xu Jiuyang knows what subject matter she has chosen, he will know how Sister Yuanyuan plans to use her.

But he still didn't expect that Jiang Shuying would choose the topic of buying a house in Shanghai, so he quickly realized what his wife was up to.

Clearly, his sister Yuanyuan received some fragments of information, but she wasn't interested in copying them, so she handed them over to others, such as Jiang Shuying, who had been trained into who-knows-what state, and who just happened to be from Shanghai.

He was so certain because when he was looking up news online about the founding team of Qidian being summoned by the police, he happened to see a message saying that a well-known Singaporean female writer surnamed Zhang had also been banned because of the same scandal.

I won't mention the female writer's name, but once she gets involved in this scandal, similar to Zhang Mo's, there's basically no chance of her recovering.

It has to be said that Sister Yuanyuan's methods for dealing with the veterans of Qidian were quite decisive and swift, without any hesitation, even though there were definitely other people helping her.

If it were just this female writer being blacklisted, he wouldn't have made any connections. But now that he hears that Jiang Shuying, who is from Shanghai, is going to write a novel about buying a house, he immediately puts the information together.

At the same time, he figured out Yuanyuan's plan: to promote some female writers who listened to him and replace those who should have become famous.

Therefore, Xu Jiuyang decided that when he had time after returning, he would search for Mou Tong, Mou Nai, and Mou Zi to see if these people had come out yet.

Of course, he probably won't be free until tomorrow, because after dinner, he invited Jiang Shuying and Ni Ni to his house, and they only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Even though Guo Zhenni, Zhang Shuang, and Zhao Shu also got on the bus, they were only slightly embarrassed before starting to talk to Guo Zhenni.

And then--

Xu Jiuyang woke up on the ground in a pitch-black room, where he touched several thighs and several arms.

Undoubtedly, there was another big battle last night, but he didn't linger and tiptoed to the door.

He took the pajamas from the maid waiting outside, wrapped them around himself, found another room, and took a shower in the bathroom before the memories of last night gradually surfaced.

It was quite an intense activity. Not only were the five of them involved, but once he got into the mood, he also called over Han Yu, Yang Liu, and Yang Ying.

If Zhou Na, Liu Tao, and Cao Xiwen hadn't been absent, he probably would have pulled them over as well—Li Hong and Zhang Yan wouldn't, since their status was somewhat higher and he respected them more.

Yang Ying didn't actually need to, but she had low standards and was quite greedy, so she voluntarily joined in.

Somewhat unexpectedly, although it did take only one night to complete the process of getting to know, interacting with, opening up, and complicating things with Jiang Shuying and Ni Ni, I unexpectedly gained two handkerchiefs as well.

This is strange. It's understandable that Ni Ni has a handkerchief, although she took some selfies in her previous life, but they were mostly from her college days. But it's surprising that Jiang Shuying also has one. She should be even more creative than Ni Ni.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that Yuan Yuan had probably already taken a liking to her, given her Shanghai identity. He was also familiar with Yuan Yuan's methods, not to mention the other people helping her.

Xu Jiuyang quickly put that aside, changed his clothes, and ate breakfast with the help of a maid. Although his cook and nutritionist was still upstairs, it didn't mean he wouldn't get to eat.

As time went by, the women came downstairs one after another, and unsurprisingly, the last two to come were the two newcomers, Jiang Shuying and Ni Ni.

Despite being given handkerchiefs, they didn't seem particularly uncomfortable and adapted quite well.

In fact, although it was a big melee last night, the two newcomers still got a good beating several times, especially in the round between Zhang Shuang and Jiang Shuying. The latter gritted her teeth and persevered, and in the end she only lost by a small margin.

"It's time to say it. We already talked about it at dinner last night. As long as you work hard enough, you will eventually become famous like Zhenni, and even become directors," Xu Jiuyang said, painting a rosy picture for them. "So, keep up the good work."

“We will, Ms. Xu,” they both replied in unison.

Jiang Shuying remained bold and immediately asked, "Teacher Xu, will there be a reward if we do well?"

“Of course,” Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow. “I will personally present them to you then.”

"I will definitely do it, teacher!" Jiang Shuying said without hesitation, her spirit was quite strong.

Although Ni Ni also made such a firm statement, she was still overshadowed by her.

It seems that after eating the flesh of a human monk and the ginseng fruit, their ambition, which had already been ignited, has become even more driven.

Xu Jiuyang was very satisfied, and then he began to consider in his mind who would replace whom.

After getting up, he took some time to search on his computer, but he couldn't find any useful information about any of the works he remembered, whether it was a certain Tong, a certain Zi, or a certain Nai.

This is somewhat abnormal.

Leaving aside a certain work, I only remember one called "Like a Flowing River," which was definitely not published recently and can be ignored.

As for Zi, her breakthrough work was actually a copy of "War and Beauty," and "Empresses in the Palace" has now become "The Legend of Zhen Huan." With a series of butterfly effects, it's possible that she didn't succeed.

However, Xu Jiuyang remembers very clearly that "Scarlet Heart" was serialized in 05 and published in 06.

Even if there is a butterfly effect, as long as it's not to the extent of something like Zi's, it shouldn't completely disappear without a trace, right?

Therefore, there is only one truth: the first wife made her move again.

After all, he had already made a move once, so it was perfectly normal for him to make another one. Whether others believed it or not, Xu Jiuyang himself did.

This is a good thing. He didn't like these so-called female writers in his past life, and now that the butterfly has fallen, it's just right.

However, even without these female writers, there would still be others; some trends are difficult to change.

If that's the case, why not let female writers who listen to you take the lead? At least under your supervision, their values ​​will definitely be consistent with yours, so they won't produce something like "The Great Rumors".

That's why, even though he knew that Sister Yuanyuan was using him, Xu Jiuyang didn't care at all, and at this moment he seized the opportunity to brainwash Jiang Shuying and Ni Ni.

Well, saying he was using her is a bit of an exaggeration. He knew why Sister Yuanyuan wanted him to host the two new writers, and Sister Yuanyuan knew that he knew too. In addition, their goals were the same, so there was naturally no question of using her or not.
