Li Yuanfei was a big boss with immeasurable wealth. Such a humble attitude made the employee feel a little embarrassed. He took the phone awkwardly and didn't know what to say. He didn't know if he should turn around and leave, leaving behind a handsome back view …
The store manager was also very puzzled. He didn't know what Li Yuanfei was up to. He was just a temporary low-level employee. If he was fired, then so be it. What did it matter?
"If you are willing to let bygones be bygones, I would like to ask you about this novel. Is that okay?" Li Yuanfei asked the employee.
The employee and the store manager listened to Li Yuanfei's request and were both stunned. The former was wondering why a big boss was so interested in an ordinary online novel. The latter didn't understand why the online novel was mentioned at all.
"This …" The employee looked at the store manager awkwardly. If the store manager knew that he was openly reading a novel during working hours and was discovered by the boss, even if the boss didn't fire him, the store manager would probably give him a hard time in the future.
Li Yuanfei understood his concerns and waved at the store manager, signaling him to leave.
"This …" The store manager still wanted to say something.
"There's nothing else for you to do. You can leave," Li Yuanfei said firmly.
The store manager was unwilling, but he still left resentfully. Before he left, he glared at the employee, blaming him for making him lose face in front of the boss.
"Sit." Li Yuanfei gestured and pulled a chair for himself.
The employee sat down cautiously and only dared to put half of his butt on the chair.
"Tell me more about this novel in detail. Which city did you say the protagonist is in? Binhai City? Is there a place called Binhai City in China? "Li Yuanfei asked pleasantly.
"Online novels are all made up. How can there be a city called Binhai City? And the website doesn't allow real names to appear in the novel, "the employee replied, wondering why the boss didn't have any common sense at all.
"Okay …" Li Yuanfei sighed regretfully. "Then tell me the content of this novel … Right, I still don't know the name of this novel."
The employee made up his mind. Since it was already like this, what was there to be afraid of?
"It's called 'Pet King', and it's currently being serialized on Qidian."
He opened his mouth and gave a general account of the hundreds of thousands of words of the novel so far. Because he was following more than one novel, he sometimes mixed up the contents of this novel with the others and spoke incoherently. But at least he got the gist of it clear.
Others didn't know, but Li Yuanfei already understood that this novel wasn't made up. At least, it wasn't completely made up. As for the game and the part about capturing elves, if one hadn't experienced it personally, it would have been impossible to make it up.
"Did many people read the novel?" he asked the other question that concerned him the most.
"It's okay. There aren't many novels about pets, and they're all realistic. Boss, you know that many people hate dogs and cats to the core. They won't read a novel about pets." The employee replied, "Yes … but someone said that the author of this novel has a chance to become the Best Newcomer on the website this year, so there should be more opportunities for exposure …"
The more Li Yuanfei listened, the colder his heart became. He clearly knew how the game worked and that elves could attract the power of faith to grow. He quite admired the author for thinking of this way to increase the power of faith of the elves.
According to the employee, each elf that appeared in the novel had a different reader's preference. If this continued, the elves on the other side would collect more and more power of faith.
He couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"Okay, I got it. Thank you! By the way, can I add your WeChat? Maybe I'll ask you about some other things. "He smiled and got up.
The employee was flattered. To be able to exchange WeChat with the big boss was like getting a talisman. He could brag about it for a year!
"Then I'll leave first. By the way, I promise the store manager won't do anything to you. Don't worry. " Li Yuanfei adjusted his clothes, waved goodbye to him, and stopped him. "It's still raining outside. You don't have to walk me out."
Until Li Yuanfei left, the employee was still standing in the same place. The big boss was more approachable than he had imagined.
…
When Li Yuanfei walked to the door, the driver had already greeted him with an umbrella and respectfully opened the door for him.
Li Yuanfei sat in the comfortable car and closed the door. He was isolated from the noise of the outside world.
His brows were furrowed, and he was by no means as calm as he appeared. In fact, his mind was in a mess right now.
What should I do?
He picked up his phone and confirmed that there was no city called Binhai City in China. The name was fictitious, and the names of the protagonists and supporting characters were also fictitious. As for the various events mentioned in the book, it was hard to say how many of them were real and how many were fictitious.
He was like a heavyweight boxing champion, full of strength, but he could only punch the air.
However, the elves mentioned in the book were definitely real.
Quantum Cat … There were such incredible elves in the game …
For the first time, he didn't have confidence in his elves.
As he thought about it, he downloaded the novel app.
He didn't rush to add the novel to the bookshelf. Instead, he first checked the volume of the Qidian Chinese website to see if he had the spare capacity to buy the novel website directly. Then, he would find the location of the novel author in the database.
However, the volume of the novel website exceeded his expectations.
At the moment, the Stars Pet Supermarket Chain Supermarket was still in a period of rapid expansion. They were opening branches all over the country and even overseas. The IPO was blocked, and they didn't have enough funds. They couldn't buy the novel website in one go.
His cat was quietly resting on the seat next to him.
Due to the recent trade friction between China and another superpower, in the first half of this year alone, the RMB depreciated by about 5%. The trade friction was still gradually heating up, and there was no sign of it ending in the short term. This made his cat a little depressed recently, and he didn't have the spare capacity to provide more money.
"Novel …"
He exhaled. Since it was a novel … maybe there was a way.
If he wanted to suppress the novel remotely without knowing the location of the author, it seemed that he could only ask for help from his teacher and his elves.
He picked up his phone and dialed his assistant's number.
"Hello? It's me. Wrap the original Qi Baishi work in a gift box. Also, cancel all other arrangements. Use the shortest time to prepare the plane for me. "
He didn't need to wait for the other party to answer. He hung up the phone and said to the driver, "To the airport."
