I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

Ye Feng now admires his cousin; he really has some ideas!

Look, don't brag to me about how fresh your vegetables are. From picking to serving, it takes less than five hours for mine to be ready. It's that fast!

Bragging? Absolutely not! Everyone saw it with their own eyes and picked it!

Ye Feng believed that his cousin's after-school care program had become a small-scale success, and organizing parents to visit it was truly a brilliant move!

The dishes are certainly not as refined as those in big restaurants in the city, but they are plentiful and taste good. Plus, the vegetables are all hand-picked, which is definitely a plus.

Most importantly, you don't have to worry about the kids, so you can eat and drink without worry. How great is that!

There was no luxurious setting, no exquisite dishes, and no attentive service, but this group of people still drank to their hearts' content.

One by one, they clinked glasses and exchanged toasts; people they had just met this morning were now calling each other brothers.

Meanwhile, the mothers' table was bustling with conversation, discussing all sorts of topics, from cosmetics to children, husbands, and work.

Ye Feng and his cousin didn't sit at the table; instead, they took some dishes inside and ate happily.

"Brother, I'm about to start writing!"

"Um?"

"About what I told you before, I was originally planning to write it in a fictional dynasty so I wouldn't have to work so hard. But after doing some research, I found that real-world dynasties are more appealing. Now I'm worried that it might get banned by accident~"

"You're worrying unnecessarily. You need to write it first. If there are any problems, you can revise it. You haven't even written it yet and you're already worrying about this and that. What if it flops?"

"Can't you wish me well for once!"

"I'm just telling the truth, okay? Write it first, and we'll talk about it later if it doesn't work."

My cousin really put a lot of effort into this book. She wrote a lot of detailed outlines and has been working on it for a long time. She has high hopes for this book.

However, no one can predict whether a book will become a hit. It's possible that a parody will lead to disappointment, but it could also be a meteoric rise to fame.

"Ugh, I'm really worried. What if I fail?"

"What's the big deal? You've been failing for years, one more time won't make a difference."

"How can Miaomiao stand your mouth?!"

"Honest advice is hard to hear, but go ahead and write it."

After lunch, Ye Feng wanted to leave immediately, but his cousin stopped him and insisted that he look at her detailed outline and give her some feedback.

But what advice could Ye Feng possibly give? He knows his own limitations and shouldn't try to mess with others.

Moreover, this novel is for female readers, so he understands it even less and should refrain from trying to read it.

However, he did read it carefully. What were his feelings afterward? He felt nothing; he didn't understand it, but he respected it.

It's a good thing he wasn't pretending; it would be so embarrassing if he gave advice casually and got refuted!

He actually felt that many parts of the outline were...outrageous, yes, outrageous, but after his cousin told him about some common tropes in female-oriented fiction, he started to think that it actually made sense.

"You think it's good too? Then you can recommend it to me when you get it!"

"..."

"I can only recommend it in group chats; it's really not working out for novels anymore. You don't want my novel to get banned, do you?"

Ye Feng has created countless fan groups, but now there are only five large groups left. The rest have all been destroyed by those bastards!

Once they got really into chatting in the group, they had no scruples at all, sending out all sorts of weird stuff, and then they got banned.

The book's subscriptions are slowly increasing, and we'll be creating groups soon. I'll promote it to my cousin in those groups then.

My cousin has never received such treatment before. She's overjoyed. Her last book received recommendations from readers with 100,000 subscriptions. This book is being promoted in her fan group. Who else gets this kind of treatment?

She actually wanted to thank her cousin properly, but after thinking about it for a long time, she realized that she didn't seem to have anything to thank him for.

Money? Her younger brother is now richer than her whole family.

What else is there to repay?

After thinking for a long time, she came up with a good idea.

"Bro, are any of your fan groups managed?"

"Yes, some fans are helping with the management. Why?"

"You can't do that. Don't let anything happen. If someone takes money from you when you're not looking, you'll be the one to blame."

"How could that be? I don't organize any events or sell anything."

"What if someone uses your name to sell things or something?"

This really touched on his blind spot; it seems he's never thought about these things before.

"How about this, I'll help you manage the fan groups. By the way, how many do you have now?"

"There are only five left now. We'll need to get a few more in a while; the new book needs them."

"No, your new book still doesn't have a fan group?"

"I've been busy lately."

He had indeed forgotten about it; the book is now over 300,000 words long and he only just remembered it now.

"Okay, then add me in and give me the permissions, and I'll manage it for you."

"No, can you?"

"Don't underestimate me. Although I haven't created my own fan group over the years, I've been involved in quite a few. Take that top fan on our platform, for example, I gave her a lot of money to become her fan!"

"You actually did this?"

"So what do we do? If the novel doesn't have data, we have to find a way, and that's what I'm trying to do!"

"If you don't have data for your novel, then write it properly and revise it properly. What you're doing is..."

"Hey, I'm not as good as you. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just pull me in first, I want to take a look."

My cousin is also very decisive. As soon as she was added to the group, she immediately muted everyone and then posted the rules.

"Wait...don't you ever check the group chat? Look at what they're posting!"

Yes, it's become a large-scale resource exchange platform.

"Ahem, I don't have time to look at that. I rarely talk in there. I'll ask the administrators."

"Forget it, stop asking. They're posting it too. Just take down these admins first. This is ridiculous!"

Ye Feng is honest and obedient, and it seems good to have someone help manage things. I hope that what my cousin said doesn't really happen, otherwise I'll definitely be the one to blame, which would be a loss.

They chatted until 5 p.m., during which Su Miaomiao even called to ask if he was going back.

"Going back? What are you talking about? Let me tell you, we still have so much food left at home. We'll just cook it all together, it'll be delicious!"

My cousin is a bit unique; she likes to cook all the leftovers from banquets together in one pot, finding it very flavorful.
