Lin Chuan and Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin walked out of Anling Police Station, and it was already noon.

The warm sun had become scorching, shining upon every corner of Anling City.

The sky was deep blue, with a few white clouds drifting by, bringing a touch of coolness to this bustling city. The trees lining the streets were lush, their leaves rustling in the soft breeze.

Outside the police station.

Zhang Xinxin tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled at Lin Chuan, “Mr. Chairman, let me treat you to lunch.”

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan’s eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, “Now that we’ve reached an agreement, the chief financial officer of 720 Studio, Zhang Xinxin, is treating me to lunch. Naturally, I must go.”

Zhang Xinxin blinked and said, “I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

The taxi winded through the city’s streets and alleys, taking them both to a restaurant.

“Little Landlady, I’m going to use the restroom,” Lin Chuan said with a smile, “You go ahead and order first.”

Little Landlady nodded with a smile.

Then.

Little Landlady chose a corner seat, picked up the menu, quickly scanned through it, and said to the waiter:

“Some braised prawns, a plate of plain boiled shrimp, and also a steamed garlic shrimp…”

After Lin Chuan came out from the restroom, he sat down opposite Little Landlady and saw the small square table laden with three large plates of shrimp.

And Little Landlady was wearing disposable gloves, peeling the shrimp one by one.

“Little Landlady, why did you order so many shrimp?” Lin Chuan asked, stunned.

Little Landlady smiled brilliantly, showing off her two rows of white teeth, “Mr. Chairman, don’t you like shrimp?”

Lin Chuan’s face darkened, and he couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Mr. Chairman, have a shrimp I peeled for you,” Little Landlady said, holding a shrimp dipped in sauce and extending it towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan felt his brain was a tangled mess of yarn.

He was feeling rather overwhelmed.

“Mr. Chairman, the chief financial officer is peeling shrimp for you. Don’t you like it?” Little Landlady said with a cheerful laugh.

Lin Chuan took the shrimp Zhang Xinxin had peeled and forced a smile onto his face, “Did you order anything else?”

Unexpectedly.

Little Landlady shook her head, “The policewoman mentioned that she only knew you liked shrimp, so that’s all I ordered for you. Since you like peeled shrimp, I’ve peeled them all for you. Mr. Chairman, you see how good I am to you?”

“Yeah, great, just great!”

Lin Chuan’s face was stretched into a forced smile.

Seeing Lin Chuan like that, Little Landlady’s small face blossomed into a huge grin, “Mr. Chairman, I’m just teasing you. I also ordered beef, boiled beef, lettuce, and rice.”

“That’s better.”

Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Little Landlady handed him another large shrimp. Lin Chuan took it and ate it, but soon after, he frowned.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Chairman?” Little Landlady asked with concern.

“Why is this shrimp sour?”

“Huh?”

Little Landlady was taken aback, then picked up a shrimp herself and put it in her mouth, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, “It’s not sour at all!”

Lin Chuan grinned, “It’s not sour?”

The Little Landlady looked at Lin Chuan’s smile and suddenly realized what he meant. She pouted slightly and grumbled, “Hmph, I certainly wouldn’t be jealous.”

“Then will you eat the shrimp?” Lin Chuan picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a shrimp, and asked.

“No!”

“Financial Director, you really won’t eat it?” Lin Chuan held the shrimp up to Zhang Xinxin.

Zhang Xinxin pursed her lips and glanced at Lin Chuan, the corner of her mouth involuntarily turned upwards. Like a little tiger, she grabbed Lin Chuan’s arm, opened her small mouth slightly, and fiercely bit into the shrimp.

“Considering you’re the chairman, I’ll give you some face,” Zhang Xinxin huffed.

“Financial Director, you really think big!” Lin Chuan gave a thumbs up.

“Of course, I do.”

Zhang Xinxin held up her little face, slightly puffed out her chest, and her casual jacket immediately strained, revealing her full curves, which captured Lin Chuan’s gaze.

Biggest of plans.

“LSP!”

Zhang Xinxin pouted and spat a small mouthful.

Lin Chuan retorted, “I solemnly declare, I am not old.”

“Stop staring and eat your shrimp,” Zhang Xinxin chuckled, “I have something to discuss with you, something serious.”

“What is it?”

Lin Chuan nibbled on the shrimp that the Little Landlady had peeled for him, dipping it into the sauce before placing it in his mouth.

“Don’t you think our studio is too small?” the Little Landlady asked.

“A chairman, a financial director, and one employee, it’s indeed a bit small,” Lin Chuan nodded in agreement.

“I think, now that we have a cooperative intention with the police, we can fully grow and become stronger. What do you think?” the Little Landlady asked ambitiously.

“You’re the financial director, and also in charge of development planning. How do you think we should grow and strengthen?” Lin Chuan asked.

The Little Landlady pursed her lips and seriously said, “Upgrade to a company! 720 Network Security Company!”

“Alright.”

Lin Chuan was brief and to the point.

The Little Landlady’s face lit up with a smile, pleased, “I’ve already planned it out. I have an office floor in Qingxiu District that’s waiting to be rented out; it will be our company’s location…”

“You’re that wealthy?”

Lin Chuan paused his eating, asking in surprise.

“Not too much money, my sources of income are very limited, only relying on rent, so I have to try starting a business to broaden my sources of income!” the Little Landlady said, lips pursed.

“?”

Lin Chuan’s eyes went dark.

Is this even human talk?

Little Landlady, you call this a very limited source of income?

Suddenly.

Lin Chuan felt that his manuscript fee of 400,000 from last month wasn’t at all appealing anymore. Compared to the Little Landlady, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

Damn…

In some places, the starting price for a bride’s price is 388,000. With only 400,000, after paying the bride price, it’s ‘back to square one,’ penniless and empty-handed.

Lin Chuan finally understood that living off a woman, is really damn great!

“Little rich lady, I ask for your sponsorship!” Lin Chuan joked.

The Little Landlady grinned, “You look too frail, rich ladies don’t like that.”

“I don’t care about other rich ladies, as long as you, this little rich lady, like it,” Lin Chuan teased with a chuckle.

“Eat your shrimp.”

The Little Landlady had a slight smugness on her face, her smile brimming.

Lin Chuan chuckled.

Suddenly, the Little Landlady seemed to remember something, “Chairman, you know, our studio has been established for some time now, and it seems we haven’t done any team building yet.”

“Just the three of us, what team building?” Lin Chuan asked in confusion, “Besides, Li Qing definitely won’t go with us two.”

The Little Landlady pouted, “So the two studio partners, the chairman and the financial director, can’t do team building?”

“We’re already team building now!” Lin Chuan laughed.

“I’m talking about formal team building, like going on a trip or something,” retorted the Little Landlady.

“A trip, huh? When, where?” Lin Chuan muttered to himself.

“May Day, Yundian, I’ve made the itinerary,” the Little Landlady said, biting her lower lip slightly, her smile hidden.

Hiss!

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and scratched his head again.

“You don’t want to go to Yundian? We can choose another place for team building,” the Little Landlady said with a smile.

“If we go there, we’ll get scammed,” Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then said.

“Aren’t you savvy in anti-fraud?”

The Little Landlady chuckled, her hands didn’t stop moving, and she peeled another shrimp for Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan stretched his mouth and changed the subject, “May Day hasn’t arrived yet. Let me think about it first.”

Scammed or not, Lin Chuan didn’t care.

It was just that he was a bit unsure at the moment.

After returning to the rental house.

Lin Chuan sent a message to Old Wang, “So torn, three girls want to ask me out to play, what should I do?”

Old Wang replied instantly, “?”.

“Bro, I need some advice,” Lin Chuan sent another message.

To his surprise, Old Wang responded, “Old Lin, I also want to ask you, how can I get three girls to ask me out to play at the same time?”

“Tch, Old Wang, you have Qiqi.”

“So, you’re having difficulty choosing?”

“Uh…”

“Old Lin, if you ask me, just take all of them out to play together!”

“Really? Can I do that?”

“?”

Lin Chuan looked at Wang Zikai’s ‘?’, falling silent.

Together? That’s definitely not feasible!

Just today, because of a single shrimp, he almost got deeply mired in trouble.

Well…

Better focus on making money first.

With savings of 400,000, it’s just enough to cover the starting dowry price of 388,000. Jeez.

“Babe~”

Perhaps sensing Lin Chuan’s desire to earn money, editor Youyou sent him a message.

“Youyou, what’s up?” Lin Chuan replied.

“The rules for the anti-fraud essay contest are out, I’ll send them to you.”

Soon after, Youyou sent a link.

‘Nationwide collection! The Anti-Fraud Center and Sunshine Film and Television Jointly host an Anti-Fraud essay competition’ calling for excellent works such as novels and scripts from all over the web!’

Lin Chuan clicked on it.

The page directed to the Anti-Fraud Center’s website, which detailed the ‘Anti-Fraud Essay Contest’.

> Registration Rules: All anti-fraud type novels, click here to register.

> Contest Rules:

Preliminary round: Works published after May 1, including novels and scripts, ending on May 31. The total reading index score achieved by the works, 100 novels, and scripts each will advance to the next round.

Semi-Final: From June 1 to June 10, 10 anti-fraud experts, 100 anti-fraud policemen, and 1000 scammed spectators will form a joint judging panel…

> Rewards: The script and novel will be judged separately, with one first prize, five-second prizes, ten third prizes, and twenty excellence awards…

It also detailed the specific benefits for each award.

“Works published after May 1st.” Lin Chuan looked at it and nodded.

“Babe~ there’s a critical point I need to remind you of,” Youyou sent another message.

“What is it?” Lin Chuan asked.

“Since this is a contest for the whole web, not just Sailing Novel, it means we’ll be competing for traffic and readers across the entire network,” Youyou reminded.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and then asked with a smile, “Youyou, do you have any good strategies to deal with this?”

Youyou replied, “Editor-in-chief Mingyue and I have discussed, and we think the best way is to learn to market your work.”

“Marketing?”

“Yes, we predict that once the essay contest officially starts, it will be a battle of marketing,” Youyou explained earnestly.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, for a contest of this magnitude, it was a first for him.

Good wine also needs a bush.

With more works participating, those without popularity will naturally be drowned out. Therefore, to make your work stand out, one must engage in marketing.

But how to market?

Announce a teaser in that inactive reader group?

Ride on a trending news?

Or take the stage personally, live streaming a fraud?

No, no, that would probably get the live streaming channel shut down on the spot.

“Babe~ you don’t need to worry too much, with your current popularity, you should be able to break into the top one hundred without hard-selling marketing,” Youyou said, typing out a long line of information.

“Can my popularity carry over to the anti-fraud contest?”

Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback.

“Of course, your ‘Hacker Kingdom’ is currently the hottest hacker novel, and it’s about to hit ten thousand subscribers in a couple of days. If your anti-fraud novel incorporates some hacker elements, the popularity will definitely carry over,” Youyou replied.

Lin Chuan’s eyes lit up.

That’s right.

After the battle with AW, the hacker culture wave gradually resurged in the country. Hacker + anti-fraud is indeed a hot topic.

‘All-In’ is exactly hacker + anti-fraud!

“For the first time, I feel like luck is on my side,” Lin Chuan grinned, sending a reply to Youyou.

“I guess, this year could be your fateful year haha.jpg.”

“It might be,” Lin Chuan said with a laugh.

“Babe~ will you be in Anling for May Day? I’ll be passing through Anling City then,” Youyou suddenly asked.

Lin Chuan: ?????
