I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

This was a question that everyone was concerned about, and all eyes were focused on Su Xiaonuan's face.

Su Xiaonuan smiled and said, "I can only tell you this."

"Go ahead and tell me."

She leaned closer, rested her head on Chen Ya's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"You have to take them all."

Chen Ya turned his head and looked at her with a strange gaze.

"You're not kidding?"

"This concerns the survival of all humanity. How could I joke about this?"

Gu Yuqing held Chen Ya's hand: "What did she just say? Whose was it?"

Chen Ya coughed twice and said, "Let's talk after we get off the plane."

Immediately, chaos erupted on the plane again.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Ya sidled up to Su Xiaonuan and whispered, "Is there some other CEO Qin on this plane? You're not kidding, are you?"

Su Xiaonuan chuckled: "The Qin Group will be very important in the future, so of course you have to deal with her too. There's also Lu Aiai, Xu Xiangxiao, and several other important figures; you have to win them over as well."

"So pragmatic?"

"What other choice do you have? You must sacrifice for all of humanity!"

After saying that, she patted his shoulder: "The road ahead is still long."

Chen Ya whispered again, "Does your plan include something like a [Life Achievement System]?"

"what is that?"

Seeing Su Xiaonuan's genuine expression, Chen Ya realized that his special abilities probably concealed a huge plan.

However, this is not the main problem to be solved next.

Looking at the chaotic scene involving the women, Chen Ya sighed.

Maintaining order in the group of female members will be the main task going forward.

(The End)

Author's Closing Remarks: The Little Prince Uproots the Baobab Tree

This chapter has been sitting in my drafts for a while now, but it's only ever had one title.

As I get older, I say goodbye more and more often. And I just happen to be someone who isn't good at saying goodbye.

Every time there's a class reunion, I'm the one who sneaks away; when I resigned last time, I didn't even have a proper get-together; my mother passed away, and I still haven't gone to her grave to say goodbye in the next life.

So I really don't know how to finish a book.

Before I wrote the final chapter, many readers said they wanted to continue reading. But I felt I couldn't just stop writing when everyone had lost interest, could I?

My requirement for myself is that every chapter is good. Although I can't always achieve that, I would be very sad if I finished writing a chapter and no one wanted to continue reading.

So even if it's just the last chapter, I hope you'll still want to keep reading this book.

This is my clumsy but heartfelt way of saying goodbye.

I will always remember the moment a year and a half ago when I typed the first word of this book.

To be honest, I never imagined I would write such a long book. 185 million words—this is the first time in my life I've written such a long book.

The longest book I've ever written is "Becoming a Tea Master in Tokyo in the Reiwa Era," which is 80 words. This is only a fraction of the word count of this book.

That book was also the reason I wrote this book.

"The Tea Master of the Reiwa Era" was my first long-form serialized novel. At the time, I just wanted to write a story that I liked.

I wrote that book with great care, striving for perfection in every chapter and meticulous attention to every detail. Moreover, writing about daily life is an activity that demands a great deal of inspiration and mental effort. Ordinary life, without any dramatic interactions, is the hardest thing to write about in a compelling way. Yet, I managed to write it and found it interesting and very satisfying to read. I felt extremely happy and joyful after finishing each chapter and eagerly awaited the readers' feedback.

I enjoy writing. For me, writing is a bit like falling in love with my readers.

Sometimes I'll have a flash of inspiration, and sometimes I'll show off my writing skills. Before all that, I've devised an extremely ingenious plan to attract (seduce) the reader.

But I won't tell you any of this. What you'll see is only the story I've written. My true thoughts are hidden within it.

This is also why writing "The Tea Saint of the Reiwa Era" failed.

I wrote that book in a very simple and unskilled way. I put a lot of emotion into it, but I didn't get the corresponding results.

I'm jealous of those cheesy, flirtatious novels. They only know how to pose and act cute, so why do they get such good grades? The thing is, it's not like I can't do it. When I'm being flirtatious, I'm way better than others.

So I became a villain. And that's how this book came about.

The origin of this book was also my idea that "there's no need to be so serious," including the names of the female protagonists; I came up with 10 names in just one minute.

For example, the name Liu Ruyan was just something I came up with on a whim. What I never expected was that a year and a half later, this name would become so overused, with countless light novels using it as the name of a scheming female supporting character. I felt a mix of emotions.

The initial plot points I wrote stemmed from this idea: "No need to be so serious." Isn't a light novel just about showing off and slapping others in the face? Anyone can do that, right? I'll do it.

It wasn't until I had written 10 words that I began to slowly come to like the story and the readers who liked it. Only then did I start writing more seriously.

Later I realized that my heart had been overgrown with baobab trees.

The baobab tree is a giant tree, a huge disaster for the planet in "The Little Prince," as it would burst that tiny planet apart.

Similarly, for a limited mind, excessive desires can lead to a loss of creative direction. Creation still needs, I believe, a degree of purity.

Original aspirations are important to everyone.

Now let me talk about my plans for the future.

First, I need to fulfill a promise I made two years ago and finish "The Tea Master of Reiwa".

I'm currently too engrossed in the technical aspects of novel writing, market acumen, and audience research.

Writing a novel is a creative process that requires emotion.

Focusing solely on skills without considering feelings is like meticulously researching a wife's family background, complementary strengths, marital rights, and property division, but neglecting to discuss feelings. Such a marriage will inevitably end in unhappiness.

Furthermore, a man of his word keeps his promise. I said I would finish it, and I will definitely finish writing it.

So, my next book is "The Tea Saint," which I need to finish first, and then I need to think carefully about what kind of story I really want to write.

In my next book, I will not write as roughly as "The Beauty Group" nor as excessively self-indulgently as "The Tea Master of the Reiwa Era".

I will write a story that I truly love, and I hope that readers will also like it.

I think the inspiration for the new book won't come too quickly, nor will it come too late.

Next, I'd like to recommend a few other works by different authors:

"A Loyal Heart Across the Heavens." I knew the author, Qing He Yi Shen, on Zhihu before he started writing on Qidian. In my mind, he was always a young man in white robes, wielding a sword—in other words, someone with a straightforward personality. This book is similar; if you click with it, you'll love it; if not, you're out of luck. I've recommended it to readers many times, and many have thanked me after getting hooked. Therefore, I'm recommending it again.

"World Disaster Designer." A work by a new author, which I think has great potential and a bright future. I taught her how to write the plot; if you don't like it, criticize me, not the author.

"No Underworld Operations Allowed in the Mortal World!" A very morbid book, emphasizing positivity, positivity, inspiration, and health; those who read it will be deeply moved.

"You Promised to Seal Away the Vengeful Ghost, But Why Did You Seal Me Instead?" This is also a book about a character possessed by a mental illness (why "also"?). The author is a very cute girl, sweet and charming.

"Everyone's a Demon, So Why Are You Bathed in Holy Light?" I think I recommended this once before, but anyway, I'll recommend it again. This book is over 150 million words long, and it's a great read.

"The Era of Vengeful Ghosts." I rarely get so engrossed in a new book; it's cured my writing woes, Yang Wei. You'll understand what I mean once you read it.

"I'm Doing More Training in America." A lighthearted, enjoyable read set in the US, it's just been released.

"The Absurd Deduction Game." A high-quality novel that has been serialized for a long time, with over three million words. The writing is elegant, and the story has character.

"My Infinite Wish List." I previously recommended the same author's "Reincarnator, You've Lost Your Morals," this is the author's new book, and it's also very interesting. By the way, "interesting" is my highest praise for online novels.

"I Only Had a Thorough Study of the Supernatural Led to a Supernatural Revival." An excellent author who steadfastly adheres to the niche genre of suspense, a man whose talent was wasted on suspense. The protagonist of this book is also very charismatic; highly recommended.

Finally, I wish everyone a happy new year and all your dreams come true!
