You were asked to write a political intrigue drama, but you wrote "Da Ming 1566".

"If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, I would have been appreciated long ago!" She glanced disdainfully at her direct supervisor.

"If you were in this position now, I would have replaced you in no time in the past."

"But now, the Ming Dynasty has corrupted the social atmosphere, allowing people like you who hold positions without doing any work to sit here. How did the world become like this?"

"I'll be fired. It's all Chen Yu's and 'The Ming Dynasty's' fault!" Li Jieya's words left her direct supervisor speechless, and dispelled any thought of offering her a word of comfort.

Is this person insane?

He's so brain-dead, making such a huge mistake that he's been called to a meeting to be questioned, yet he's still dreaming of showing off his career and getting promoted.

After being fired, he actually managed to shift the blame to Chen Yu's novel "The Ming Dynasty," which he felt had corrupted the workplace atmosphere? He shook his head, quickly got up, and, fearing that staying in the same space as Li Jieya would infect him with idiots, hurriedly tried to leave the meeting room.

At this moment, Li Jieya gritted her teeth and shouted, "I can leave, but what about my farewell dinner?"

"We've all worked together for so long, and as my direct supervisor, you can't even afford to treat us to a farewell dinner?" "And besides, you should at least give me some time to hand over my work and say goodbye to my colleagues, right?" The more she spoke, the more her direct supervisor broke out in a cold sweat, unsure of what to say. After a moment, he finally said coldly.

"There's no need to hand over your work. The job I gave you was supposed to be your first official job, but you've messed it up like this. You don't have much to hand over."

"As for the farewell dinner, I would treat other members if they were leaving, but you... I'm sure none of your colleagues in the team want to come, and I don't want to treat you either. We'll have another dinner together, but that has nothing to do with you."

"Pack up your workstation and leave today, otherwise HR and security will vacate it for you." After saying that, he hurriedly left.

An hour later, Li Jieya slunk away from the office building under the supervision of several HR and security personnel. Her eyes were filled with resentment and malice.

She still didn't think it was her fault that she had ended up in this situation. Of course, she didn't think it was the fault of those foreign department heads either. They were white men, after all; how could they have a problem? The problem lay with the Ming Dynasty! It was all the Ming Dynasty's fault that these white men had been corrupted by the Chinese male office workers! All the blame, no matter what, rested entirely on Chen Yu's fault.

If Chen Yu hadn't written about the Ming Dynasty, how could I have been fired?!

Furious and on the verge of a breakdown, Li Jieya stormed into Chen Yu's livestream room on the subway on her way home and began to criticize the workplace culture in Chen Yu's "Ming Dynasty" for infringing on women's workplace rights.

"If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, my speech would definitely have been appreciated. How could I have been dismissed?" "It's all Chen Yu's fault!" She cursed Chen Yu through gritted teeth.

"You think you can get into the top 50 of the best drama list by writing this kind of stuff? You're dreaming!" "Look at what Xiao Tuo wrote, and what you wrote. Do you even deserve to break Xiao Tuo's record?" A barrage of vulgarities followed, and Li Jieya was immediately banned from the live stream.

But she wasn't finished. She moved her attacks to Weibo, where she continued her scathing critique of Chen Yu and the TV series "Da Ming Dynasty." Surprisingly, quite a few Western-worshipping individuals were still supporting Li Jieya. "Sister is right, what's wrong with expressing yourself?" "The problem is this environment; it's so unfair to us women!"

"Just thinking about what you went through makes me furious and cold. I thought foreign companies were a paradise, but I never expected that they would also be polluted by the evil practices of China."

"I will write to the relevant departments right away and request that 'The Ming Dynasty' be shut down. This kind of script, which corrupts the social atmosphere, does not deserve to be called a script at all. And how can the 310 Office allow such a drama to be listed as a 'divine drama'?"

"Chen Yu wants to surpass Xiao Tuo? Who is he? Does he even deserve it?!" Such insane remarks not only stunned the viewers in the live stream, but also left the film company executives behind the scenes dumbfounded.

They exchanged bewildered glances, asking with suspicion, "Which company hired this woman as an online shill?"

"Wow, this is so genuine, and the angle is... damn unique!" "This is so professional!"

It wasn't until a moment later that they all showed expressions of astonishment.

"Holy crap, don't tell me this isn't a paid shill we hired to smear Chen Yu and 'Ming Dynasty'?"

"Are there really such idiots in this world? Is this what a fairy is like? All the mistakes are other people's faults, all the faults of the environment? Holy crap, I've learned something new."

"I'll have to get my HR to be more careful from now on. If they hire someone like this, I'd be disgusted to death!" "But have you guys noticed? This fairy seems to be much more effective than online trolls. Online trolls' smear campaigns at least have logic, and those companies don't post anything too morally reprehensible. But this fairy doesn't care about logic or morals!"

Upon hearing this, the executives of these film and television companies exchanged glances, their expressions mysterious. Although they were certain that before their plan was launched, it was absolutely impossible for Chen Yu to break into the top fifty of the best drama list and surpass Xiao Tuo's record.

But wouldn't it be even better if they could create more trouble for Chen Yu and make him upset? With this in mind, they had someone from the company contact Li Jieya, gave her 100,000 yuan, and asked her to continue to smear Chen Yu and "Da Ming Dynasty" without stopping.

At the same time, it was as if they had opened the door to a new world. Compared to the original online marketing companies, this "little fairy" seemed to be much more explosive. After all, the "little fairy" had no moral compass, didn't need logic, and was full of genuine emotions. She could really chase and bite like a mad dog, and even gather a group of the same mad dogs. Wasn't that more cost-effective than online marketing companies?

When Li Jieya saw the 100,000 yuan, her eyes lit up, as if she had found a shortcut to wealth. Now, as she watched "The Ming Dynasty," a sinister and resentful look appeared in her eyes. "See? This is what they call 'the righteous receive much help, the unrighteous receive little.' 'You caused my dismissal, I'll ruin you!'"

A moment later, as the "Lighthouse Watcher" Weibo account continued to hurl increasingly vile and offensive insults at "The Ming Dynasty" and Chen Yu, many viewers in the live stream felt as if they had swallowed flies, utterly disgusted.

"No way, how can there be such an idiot?" "It's disgusting to look at."

"There are so many people praising her in the comments section, it's like a clown ball! At this time, some viewers also noticed that, in addition to 'Lighthouse Watcher,' some young women started to slander Chen Yu and 'Ming Dynasty' on Weibo, even asserting that Chen Yu was not even worthy of carrying Xiao Tuo's shoes, let alone breaking the record left by Xiao Tuo back then."

This caused them some anxiety.

Previously, everyone noticed that there were paid trolls attacking "Da Ming Dynasty" in the live stream. Now, this group of crazy dogs from "Little Fairy" has started again. It seems like someone is stirring things up behind the scenes, and they don't have good intentions.

It seems that quite a few screenwriters have had their mental state ruined by these underhanded tactics in the past. Will Chen Yu be affected by this?

At this moment, Chen Yu also saw the indignant comments in the live stream and learned about Xiao Tuo and the record. Seeing what the viewers were mentioning, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked quietly, "To break Xiao Tuo's record, I need to break into the top fifty?" His question made the viewers in the live stream even more worried, fearing that Chen Yu was feeling pressured. Pressure might create miracles, but it was more likely to distort his thinking. Many viewers sent messages in the chat, advising Chen Yu to just do his best.

He is younger than Chautau, and even if he fails this time, he still has plenty of time to break Chautau's record as the youngest person to enter the top 50 of the best drama list.

Meanwhile, those who idolize Westerners got excited and started chattering incessantly in the live chat. "What, scared?"

"Do you know who Chaut is? He's a big-name screenwriter in Hollywood now, world-famous!" "You think you can break Chaut's record? You're not worthy!" "Didn't you say you were aiming for the top spot on the best TV series chart? Now you're too scared? Go ahead and shout, keep shouting." Chen Yu's lips curled into a smile.

"I think everything else you say sounds like barking, but there's one thing you said that's actually quite right." "Does the Ming Dynasty deserve to break Xiao Tuo's record?" "Yeah, it certainly doesn't." As soon as Chen Yu said this, the Western-worshipping dogs went wild, while the other hopeful audience members felt like they had been hit hard, never expecting that Chen Yu would say such self-deprecating words.

Until the next moment, Chen Yu said with disdain.

"I thought some people were barking like dogs, saying I'm not worthy, the Ming Dynasty isn't worthy of such a record of extortion, what kind of world's highest peak is this?"

"After all that, it's just a record of whether or not we can break into the top 50?" "That's it? Fifty places? Does that even deserve to be called a record?"

"From its inception, the Ming Dynasty was designed to reach the top of the best drama charts and become a monument." "Break Xiao Tuo's record? What kind of person is he that he's worthy of being compared to the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty take him as its target?"

"How dare he?" "Does he even deserve it?!"

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream finally realized what was happening. Chen Yu meant that Xiao Tuo was unworthy to be the top star of the Ming Dynasty drama series!

If the Ming Dynasty could truly achieve this, then it can only be said that in the face of such an achievement, let alone one Xiao Tuoye, even ten Xiao Tuoye would not be worthy of trying to extort money!

Chen Yu's words instantly ignited the burning passion of many viewers in the live stream who supported the Ming Dynasty. "Chen Yu is awesome!"

"That's right. What kind of person is Xiao Tuo? A heartless ingrate! How dare he be mentioned alongside Chen Yu, who wrote the saying 'One can choose not to be a famous minister but not a villain'?"

"Support Chen Yu! Support the Ming Dynasty to the top! Slaughter these Western-worshipping dogs!" Those Western-worshipping dogs, as if their tails had been stepped on, jumped up and down in a frenzy. They wanted to whitewash even Xiao Tuo's blatant insults to China, openly praising him for betraying China and turning to the US.

As for Chen Yu, they belittled him in every way, wishing they could reduce him to dust. They couldn't tolerate that a Chinese man like Chen Yu dared to surpass a Hollywood screenwriter, as if he were doing something outrageous.

Chen Yu's response was to not argue with these idiots. Arguing with a dog is just like a dog barking; his choice was to let the script speak for itself.

Smash the spiritual beliefs of these Western-worshipping dogs, and destroy the masters they recognize!

"Even without the part where Hai Rui vehemently criticizes Jiajing in his memorial on maintaining order, the part where Hai Rui interrogates Zheng Bichang and He Maocai (the good Li and Zhao) is enough to place the Ming Dynasty in the top ten of the best dramas."

"Even though this is just a script and hasn't been filmed yet, which might affect the ranking, it should still be possible to break into the top 20."

"Fifty? Who do you think you are!" After taking a deep breath, Chen Yu suddenly started typing on the keyboard and continued the following plot.

If we say that from the first act to now, the script of "Ming Dynasty" is the pinnacle of historical political intrigue, perfecting every element and weaving in subtle clues and foreshadowing events over a long period of time.

Then, with Hai Rui interrogating Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, the true drama of the entire script begins to unfold. It's a scale unlike any other political intrigue drama, a height no other script can reach! Smear campaign?

What kind of darkness can block out the rising sun?!

The next moment, lines of text propelled the plot forward, bringing the atmosphere of impending storm to a sudden, torrential downpour.

In the script, after dismissing Commander Jiang, Zheng Bichang and He Maocai discuss what to do next. As Zheng Bichang asks He Maocai what to do, the audience's attention shifts back to the plot itself.

Previously, Zheng Bichang and He Maocai had arranged for two commanders to lead troops to coerce Hai Rui into killing the disaster victims. Hai Rui seized the opportunity to break the deadlock, which was already a god-like comeback. Now that the plan had failed, the audience was eager to see what other tricks Zheng and He could come up with. However, to their utter surprise, He Maocai was clearly completely helpless against Hai Rui, and said with murderous intent in his eyes.

"It's a life-or-death situation, what else can we do? If he doesn't kill, we have no choice but to kill him!" These words truly made the audience gasp.

"Holy crap, that's ruthless!" "The county magistrate is an official appointed by the imperial court! He Maocai can't solve the problem now, he can only punish the person who raised the problem?"

"They even want to kill the county magistrate! This is utterly insane!" He Maocai replied after Zheng Bichang pressed him on how to kill Hai Rui.

"Chop, axe, poison, rope—any of those will do!" Zheng Bichang shook his head repeatedly. "I'm asking you, what reason do you have to kill him?" He Maocai asked righteously. "Colluding with the Japanese, disrupting national policy—either reason is acceptable."
