Chapter 18: Big Fan’s Anger

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mr. Ma finally spoke out the words smoldering in his bosom over the years.

The pushing out of traditional literature by online literature was something that every online literature practitioner could empathize with.

Liu Fu was so surprised that he was speechless at first. Then, he shook his head and laughed.

“You are worthy of the title of editor-in-chief. I’ll make the arrangements right away.” After Liu Fu finished his words, he couldn’t wait to go to the office and convey the leadership’s thoughts to others.

However, as they had expected, the negative news didn’t get clarified because of Netland’s actions. Instead, it turned into a debate contest between online literature and traditional literature.

Among those netizens, some people specifically requested to ban “Battle Through the Heavens” because it was the cause of all this.

“What? ! I can’t believe someone actually talks about banning ‘Battle Through the Heavens’? !”

In the upscale villa area of Yanlos, Wan Tingfu, who was enjoying her supper, suddenly saw the negative news of “Battle Through the Heavens” and looked at the vicious comments of the netizens below. It seemed that the author had killed their entire family.

Wan Tingfu angrily smashed her fork into the plate, scaring the ladybro, Guan Shu, next to her to hide from her.

The butler, Uncle Bai, came forward and wiped the soup that splashed on Wan Tingfu’s hand clean. Then he asked calmly, “Miss Tingfu, what’s wrong? Did that straight man make you angry again?”

“These rubbish marketing accounts dare to spout a lot of nonsense after receiving some unconscionable dirty money! How dare they call my favorite novel a pest!” Wan Tingfu’s eyes were filled with flames of anger.

The ladybro sitting on the side was confused. “Sister Tingfu, isn’t your favorite novel ‘Thirteen Questions of the Heavenly Palace’? Have you stopped shipping a couple recently?”

“The author of ‘Thirteen Questions of the Heavenly Palace’ was caught in the police station. His book is not so interesting as his life, so I haven’t read it,” Wan Tingfu said.

Uncle Bai interjected, “But before, you still thought that the author of ‘Battle Through the Heavens’ was very boring and you were angry at that time. Why are you defending him now?”

Wan Tingfu humphed and said, “I always concern myself with facts and not with individuals. ‘Battle Through the Heavens’ is indeed well written. People should look at things dialectically.”

Hearing this, Uncle Bai nodded. The ladybro sitting on the side looked at them who were talking to each other, but she still didn’t get a clear understanding of the question. “What is ‘Battle Through the Heavens’? Who has upset Wan Tingfu again?” she wondered.

“What’s going on? Which one of you tell me?” the ladybro said helplessly.

The butler bowed and said, “Miss Guan Shu, actually, some time ago, Miss Tingfu…”

While they were explaining, Wan Tingfu clicked into Xu Yuan’s WeChat frame and took the initiative to send a message of concern.

“Mr. Shu, are you okay?” Wan Tingfu asked.

“I’m fine, thank you for your concern.” Xu Yuan replied.

Xu Yuan had long known that there would be a day when he would be cyberbullied, but it came earlier than he had expected. He even knew that the mastermind was Lei Yong, but he intended to play it cool and was not prepared to fight back immediately.

Therefore, he slighted Cai Pingtong and Wan Tingfu who were concerned about him.

Wan Tingfu waited for two minutes, and the smile on her face faded.

“… Then what?” she said to herself.

She raised her delicate little hand and patted her phone hard. When she saw the full signal in the upper right corner, she asked curiously with her pretty eyes wide-open, “How dare he not respond to my messages? Why would he do this to a beauty who cares about him?”

Guan Shu heard about the situation from Uncle Bai. She did not ridicule Wan Tingfu for calling herself a beauty because she was indeed worthy of it. Instead, she curiously moved closer to the phone.

She covered her mouth and said, “Wow, that’s really a straight man’s answer. Does he have no desire to communicate with you?”

“How is that possible!” Wan Tingfu pouted and rolled her eyes at her.

“Ah, yes, yes, yes. He is crazy.” Guan Shu coaxed her kindly. “Tell me what he did, so I can help you analyze it.”

“Hem, at least you still have a conscience. It was just yesterday. The novel that I liked was on the shelves. I saw that it sold well, so I helped a little and gave a gratuity. However, today’s article was filled with mudslinging against it. That’s going too far. Obviously, someone is jealous,” Wan Tingfu said.

Guan Shu was actually asking about the author, not the maligned press release.

But since she had already said that she would help analyze it, she looked over the so-called maligned press release. After thinking for two minutes, she said, “It’s indeed well organized. What those marketing accounts said and the following replies are similar.”

“Yeah, why isn’t he in a hurry at all!” Wan Tingfu said anxiously.

She looked at it again and still felt uneasy. She decided to care a little more. If Xu Yuan still gave a cold response, she would ignore him!

“Mr. Shu, you must have been targeted by someone. Don’t pay attention to those boring people. Your book is very good. Those people don’t have any artistic talent. It’s normal that they can’t appreciate it,” Wan Tingfu said.

Wan Tingfu knew XuYuan’s habit, so she waited patiently for another two minutes, but her phone didn’t ring.

Just as Guan Shu thought that Wan Tingfu had been ignored again, her phone rang.

“Miss Freya, thank you for your concern. I was sorting out the plot of my new book just now, so I didn’t have time to explain it to you properly. I’ve read all the negative news on the Internet, and it didn’t really affect me. After all, I’m not money, so I can’t be liked by everyone. Moreover, something had happened before I started writing the web novel, so I know who did it and why he did it. Thank you for your concern, I have to go prepare the new book,” Xu Yuan replied.

It was the first time Wan Tingfu received such a long string of replies, and she was so happy that she couldn’t find her bearings.

The main point was instantly diverted by Xu Yuan. She asked curiously, “What’s the name of your new book? Can you tell me about it?”

Xu Yuan thought that the new book was not a secret. If he didn’t satisfy Wan Tingfu’s curiosity now, he would definitely be pestered again.

“It’s called ‘Lord of the Mysteries’. Please look forward to it,” Xu Yuan said.

“Wow, he’s so awesome!” Wan Tingfu praised. She held the phone and giggled like a little fan.

Guan Shu had never seen Wan Tingfu like this before. She could not help but ask in surprise, “You’re angry at one moment and then laughing at the next. What’s going on now?”

“What to do now?” Wan Tingfu sneered. “Of course, it’s time to fight back! No one has ever dared to look down on the things I like!”

Hearing that Xu Yuan was preparing a new book, Wan Tingfu definitely wanted to clear these obstacles so that he could focus on preparing. After all, no author had ever been so attractive to Wan Tingfu.

She waved her hand and said to Uncle Bai, “Uncle Bai, I’ll leave it to you. You must find out who’s behind this. As for the marketing accounts taking advantage of others’ misfortune, contact my father’s company to deal with them. Also, don’t forget about the legal team. Sort out the comments that are part of the rumors. I’m going to sue them to death!”

When she heard this, Guan Shu could not help but shiver. That was because the literally means of the word “death” Wan Tingfu just said was what she really meant.

These marketing accounts basically started a rumor at zero cost. However, it was costly and laborious to bring them down, so most people did not have the time to waste on them and were unable to speak out about their grievances.

However, Wan Tingfu was different. She had money and time. With just a word, people would come and help her. If she did not force the people behind her to the surface, she would definitely not let this matter rest.

“Good luck.” Guan Shu observed three seconds of silence in her heart for those who spread rumors.
