Seven dayster, on June 7th.


    The early morning breeze swept across the winding banks of the Anling River, carrying the faint scent of grass and water vapor, until it reached the old city in the eastern part of town. It brushed through the dense foliage within the old city, yfully tousled the fur of a small cat under the eaves, and finally surged through the window, filling the modestly sized room.


    At eight o''clock, Lin Chuan habitually rolled out of bed and then opened the metal door.


    The Little Landy was right outside.


    This was the biological clock that the Little Landy had cultivated for Lin Chuan over the past week.


    Today, her cheeks were fair and tender, she wore a white T-shirt with a Pikachu cartoon print, and her lower body was d in a pair of short, light gray pants that verged on white, revealing her straight and fair legs, which dangled in front of Lin Chuan''s eyes.


    It shook away all of Lin Chuan''s drowsiness.


    In her hands, she carried a bag of apples and today''s breakfast for two—mutton soup with rice noodles.


    The Little Landy tiptoed closer to Lin Chuan and took a deep sniff, then said with a smile, "Chairman, you smell so nice."


    "I think you''re really hungry."


    Lin Chuan replied with a smile, gently tapping on the Little Landy''s nose, then took the breakfast and apples from her hands.


    "You''ve forgotten one thing," the Little Landy said with a slight curl of her lips.


    Lin Chuan was taken aback, "I''ve taken everything."


    Suddenly, the Little Landy shed a radiant smile, then leapt up, her legs wrapping around him, her arms brazenly thrown around Lin Chuan''s neck, hanging onto his body and hugging him tightly, taking a deep breath:


    "And me!"


    "Little Landy, that''s quite a sneak attack, too bold," Lin Chuan said, worried she might slip and fall, so he had to support her with his arms.


    "Chairman, I weigh 106 pounds, is that heavy?" the Little Landy giggled.


    "Not heavy, but I''m somewhat unable to hold up," Lin Chuan replied.


    "But you are holding up!" The Little Landy blinked.


    Ah?


    Lin Chuan''s face turned red, and he quickly turned around, cing the Little Landy down in the living room.


    She was too much for him to handle; it was indeed a bit overwhelming.


    Watching Lin Chuan''s awkward expression, Zhang Xinxin''s eyes shimmered with sly amusement. Indeed, with a full-frontal assault, his psychological defenses simply couldn''t hold.


    The Chairman is mine!


    A woman chasing a man is like separation by ayer of yarn.


    Especially for someone like Lin Chuan, a web novelist, facing an attack that was as fierce as thunder and as gentle and graceful as the Little Landy''s, it was indeed difficult to resist.


    Phew—


    "Chairman, what''s the matter?" the Little Landy asked, batting her eyes and smiling.


    "Don''t y dumb."


    Lin Chuan spat out yfully, "I have serious matters to attend to today."


    "Then I''ll let you off for now, let''s have breakfast first."


    The Little Landy said with a smile, then sat down at the table and had breakfast with Lin Chuan.


    ''Ding dong ding dong—''


    At that moment, the phone rang.


    Lin Chuan nced at it, a message from Editor Youyou.


    "Darling~ time to wake up!"


    In recent days,


    Lin Chuan''s anti-fraud novel "All-In" had charged into the next round at the top.


    So, he had been in closer contact with Youyou during this period.


    "I''m having breakfast." Lin Chuan replied, then nced at the Little Landy across from him, who smiled warmly and piled two more slices ofmb onto his te.


    She didn''t ask who Lin Chuan was chatting with.


    "You''ve been keeping quite regr hourstely, nice, nice." Youyou seemed very satisfied.


    Lin Chuan smiled and replied, "All-In has entered the next round. Now, just waiting for the final results toe out."


    "Whether looking at the poprity or the content, ''All-In'' is a strong contender for first prize. Aim to keep the second-ce spot at least, and fight for the first!" Youyou messaged.


    It was clear that she was quite optimistic about Lin Chuan winning the top prize in the anti-fraud essay contest.


    "Then I''ll leave this year''s Heavenly King honor up to Youyou." Lin Chuan joked.


    Youyou had previously hinted that if "All-In" could achieve excellent results in the anti-fraud essay contest, Lin Chuan''s historical achievements would be enough topete with some veteran authors for a spot among the Twelve Heavenly Kings.


    If he could secure the top prize and get a film and television adaptation, then there would definitely be a ce for Lin Chuan among today''s ''Twelve Heavenly Kings''.


    Because, with the Anti-Fraud Center and Sunshine Film and Television adapting "All-In" for the screen, the poprity was bound to be high.


    As the heat goes up, the novel "All-In" would rise ordingly.


    "You just rx. Right now, ''All-In'' is breaking out of its circle. With ''Hacker Kingdom'' on top of that, you have a good chance of being named one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings this year." Youyou replied immediately.


    Inside the Sailing Novel building, Youyou looked at the chat box with Lin Chuan and felt somewhat fortunate that she had bet on the right treasure.


    ''Swindler'' and ''This Assassin Is Too Professional'' have both reached the level of great masterpieces.


    "Hacker Kingdom" is a hit overseas and has garnered tens of thousands of subscriptions back home.


    "All-In" is currently breaking out domestically and has entered the semifinal round of the ''Anti-Fraud Essay Contest''. By June 10th, the final results will be announced, and many readers are hoping it will be adapted into a film or TV series, with high expectations for such a move.


    Youyou''s heart was blooming with joy.


    As long as she could firmly grasp Lin Chuan, this treasure of an author, and help him ascend to the throne of Heavenly King and then further to the status of Influent Author, her promotion and sry increase were as good as in her pocket, weren''t they?


    Brilliant!


    However, thepetition pressure in the second half of the year was enormous!


    Youyou immediately sent another message to Lin Chuan: "Darling~ when do you n to start your next book?"


    After a brief moment of contemtion, Lin Chuan replied, "Probably within a week after the Anti-Fraud Essay Contest ends. Why?"


    "In the second half of the year, Sailing Novel will enter a state of fiercepetition," Youyou responded.


    Lin Chuan''s eyebrows furrowed. He immediately put down his chopsticks and rapidly typed a line on his phone: "Fiercepetition? What do you mean by that?"


    Soon,


    Youyou exined, "Let''s start with the batch from the Anti-Fraud Essay Contest. For example, Tianya, Guihai, and Handon, they are very likely going to start new books this or next month. In addition, several Heavenly Kings and Influent Authors will graduallyunch new books in the second half of the year, especially in the uing period.


    And there are a few tinum-level authors who have revealed their ns to start new books."
