I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

Chapter 205 Equal Distribution of Rain and Dew

West Coast Region.

Weiguang Literature Division.

Carter sat in his office, the screen in front of him lingering on the last page of "Take Her Eyes".

He did not close the document immediately.

The sky outside the window had darkened, and the lights of the distant port pierced through the thin mist, reflecting on the glass curtain wall of the office.

A moment later, Carter took off his glasses, picked up the coffee that had gone a little cold, and took a sip.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to dial Yu Wen's number.

……

Eastern Region.

A holographic light screen unfolded in front of Yu Wen.

Carter sat behind his desk, smiling as he raised his coffee cup towards him.

"Advisor Yu."

"Good evening."

Upon hearing this address, Yu Wen paused for a moment.

"Mr. Carter, please just call me Yu Wen."

"Every time I hear you call me an advisor, I feel like I'm about to be dragged to a meeting any second now."

Carter laughed.

"rest assured."

There are no meetings today.

"I'm just reporting to the honorary literary advisor of Glimmer on the recent situation on behalf of the West Coast Division."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wen leaned back in his wheelchair with amusement.

"you say."

"Since the release of The Old Man and the Sea, the West Coast region has been doing very well."

Carter said:

"The number of new users is still rising. Several professional literary institutions have contacted us, and some critics who would never have paid attention to Weiguang in the past have also started to pay attention to the works recently published on the platform."

"Although our traffic is still far behind those local platforms on the West Coast."

"But at least now, they can no longer treat Microlight as a small platform that could exit the West Coast market at any time."

At this point, Carter's smile widened.

"Just a couple of days ago, a local platform took the initiative to inquire about exchanging some of our copyright channels with us."

"A few months ago, they wouldn't even reply to our emails."

Carter paused, then added with a smile:

"Now they not only reply quickly, but they also ask us when Yu Huashi will write another work with a West Coast background."

After hearing this, Yu Wen smiled as well.

"That means you've done a good job these past few months."

"certainly."

Carter accepted the compliment without hesitation.

Yu Wen nodded.

That's definitely a good thing.

"but……"

He looked at Carter on the screen and asked with some confusion:

"You can report these things directly to General Manager Chang."

"The original agreement clearly stated that as an honorary literary advisor, I would not need to be in the office or participate in the platform's daily operations."

Although he already owns shares in Weiguang, Yu Wen basically never gets involved in the platform's daily operations, except for occasionally offering some opinions on important literary projects.

There seemed to be even less need to report the situation in the West Coast district to him specifically.

"Of course I have already reported to General Manager Chang."

Carter said with a smile:

"However, the following issues are beyond the scope of President Chang's ability to resolve."

Yu Wen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Carter did not answer immediately.

He put down his coffee cup first, then said with a smile:

"Advisor Yu."

"I recently learned a new idiom from the Eastern region."

"It's called 'equal distribution of rain and dew'."

Yu Wen was slightly taken aback.

Before he could speak, Carter continued with a smile:

"Take Her Eyes With You" is a story that takes place in the Eastern region.

"Shouldn't Consultant Yu consider the West Coast for his next project?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wen was both amused and exasperated.

All that talk about the latest developments in the West Coast districts was just the prelude to this.

This is hardly a work report.

They were clearly using the title of Honorary Literary Advisor of Weiguang as a roundabout way to urge him to submit his manuscript.

However, Carter's phone call was quite timely.

Yu Wen glanced at the document he had just finished organizing on the desktop, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Then you've come at the perfect time."

Carter paused for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"I just finished writing a short story set in the Eastern region."

Yu Wen smiled and said:

"I also just finished writing a short story with a West Coast background."

Carter's smile instantly turned into surprise.

He was just joking and casually urging the West Coast section to finish the manuscript, but he didn't expect that Yu Wen had already finished writing it.

"West Coast background?"

"Um."

Yu Wen reached out and opened the document on the desktop.

When Carter called just now, he was working on the original English manuscript of this article.

"I was originally going to send it to you too."

Carter sat up a little straighter.

"Is it finished writing?"

"Just finished tidying up."

"What's your name?"

""Running for Governor"."

Yu Wen paused for a moment, then added:

"In the Eastern Region, the name is 'Running for Governor'."

Carter looked at the English title that appeared on the screen, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is not just a story set on the West Coast.

Moreover, just like with "The Old Man and the Sea," Yu Wen wrote the original English manuscript directly.

Once the West Coast section is acquired, there's no need to organize translations anymore; only basic proofreading and typesetting are required.

"Can you send it to me now?"

Carter asked.

"Can."

Yu Wen packaged the document and said:

"However, please do not publish it for now."

"This article has already been submitted to Midtown Observer."

"Once the Eastern Region officially publishes it, the West Coast Region will then release the English version."

Cardi nodded.

"I see."

The West Coast section of Weiguang can prepare for proofreading and publicity in advance, but the official release time should be after Midtown Observer.

After a while.

An encrypted document appeared on Carter's work terminal.

[Running for Governor]

[Author: Yu Hua Shi]

Carter casually opened the document.

After reading only the first few lines, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression became much more serious.

Yu Wen did not make a sound to disturb them.

The office fell silent, save for the occasional soft rustling of Carter turning pages.

After a moment, he raised his head again.

"It seems my call today was well worth it."

Yu Wen smiled and said:

"I was going to send it to you anyway."
