Chapter 316: Chapter 316 - 295 The Number One Chu Fanboy Goes Online_1

The previous skepticism about whether Chu Kuang had “lost his talent” seemed to disappear abruptly.

In fact, there are such people on the internet.

They usually hide in the dark, afraid to show themselves, but they always stir up trouble when people least expect it. Yet when the person they’ve targeted regains their strength, these people scatter like birds and beasts, acting as if they’d never existed.

These people might be labeled as “trolls” or “internet knights”.

Anyway, with the reports from Zhongzhou Station, the topping of “A Bowl of Spring Noodles”, and these people’s return to hiding, Chu Kuang had returned to being the Chu Kuang people knew –

The one whose works were few since debut, yet always lined with awe-inspiring magnificence!

Not only that.

In the following days, the influence of “A Bowl of Spring Noodles” seemed to be expanding as many enterprises actually esteemed the work as a business classic and required their employees to read it!

Many entrepreneurs affirmed the hidden business strategies in the novel!

This also had something to do with the background of the Qin and Chu merger.

Indeed, many companies had a chance to soar after the Qin and Chu merger, but some industries faced disaster.

They were struggling to survive, but they never gave up.

Like the mother and her two sons in “A Bowl of Spring Noodles”, no matter how difficult or desperate, they were still persevering and seeking new hope!

This was another unexpected surprise for the industry insiders!

It was not until many entrepreneurs publicly talked about their view on “A Bowl of Spring Noodles”, and praised the caring actions of the owners from the Beihai Noodle Shop to their customers, that everyone realized this work even has the potential to be a commercial Bible!

In fact.

The appearance of this novel has a special backdrop, which was the great economic collapse in Neon on Earth.

At that time, “A Bowl of Spring Noodles” emerged, encouraging many businesses that were struggling to survive.

When it comes to Blue Star.

Although there was no economic collapse, the effects of the merger trend for some enterprises were similar. Therefore, the appearance of this novel can be said to be timely, and it instantly became a favorite among many businessmen.

Of course, the story of “A Man’s Station” from Chu Province, as a real-life version of this novel, also encouraged many people.

“Hey, Chu Kuang’s luck is too good this time!”

In a small group chat, someone mentioned Shen Jiarui and seemed to be somewhat unpleased.

No sooner had this person finished speaking than a wave of retorts rose:

“You call this luck?”

“Even if you want to flatter Mr. Shen, you don’t need to spout such nonsense, right?”

“This novel is clearly underestimated by many people. Isn’t it just a counterintuitive way of thinking? I believe that anything overdone is not good, using it for the sake of using it is certainly undesirable, but if this cup of chicken soup really warms your stomach, why should you forcefully dislike it?”

“Teacher Chu Kuang is not incapable of using tricky techniques. I feel like he just didn’t bother to go for the fancy stuff this time. Don’t his previous works already prove his skill?”

“…”

This person did not expect that his casual pro-Shen Jiarui comment in the group chat would incite general outrage.

What was even more unexpected was that Shen Jiarui responded, and his tone wasn’t too good, firing off several messages:

“The four words I hate the most are, ‘Writers belittling each other’.”

“There’s plenty of such phenomenon in this industry because some people are insincere. If it’s good, say it’s good. If it’s bad, say it’s bad. Of course, I want to win too, but I wouldn’t make excuses when I lose, and I certainly wouldn’t say it’s just luck. You don’t need to try and make me look good.”

…

When Shen Jiarui realized he had been bumped to second place, he wasn’t overly disappointed, as he had liked Chu Kuang’s simple story from the beginning.

This sense of recognition made him ungrudging when he lost.

After all, he had always been ranked lower than others.

Actually, Shen Jiarui even admired Chu Kuang to some extent. He didn’t believe that Chu Kuang wasn’t aware of the disadvantages of “A Bowl of Spring Noodles”, but he still published it.

“I graciously admit defeat!”

He posted this sentiment on Tribe.

Comments sections instantly filled up with comforting responses, mostly from Shen Jiarui’s fans.

A comment said: “Chu Kuang is really amazing.”

Shen Jiarui surprisingly responded: “You should say he is incredibly amazing, especially after seeing many companies esteeming this work as a commercial Bible recently. Although I feel there might be excessive interpretation involved, if such interpretations can help some people overcome difficulties, then whether the interpretation is wrong or not isn’t as important.”

In addition, Shen Jiarui also responded to many other comments with unabashed praise, leaving his fans perplexed, yet amused.

“What the…”

“We are trying to comfort you.”

“End up you are a[Chu fan]?”

“I declare the birth of the number one Chu fan.”

“Chu Kuang: You’re praising me so much, I kind of want to give you the first place.”

“Wow, Shen Jiarui certainly knows how to flatter!”

“Chu Kuang is indeed amazing, but Shen Jiarui’s work this time is also not bad, the twist in the end was excellent.”

“…”

Shen Jiarui coughed, replying to the last person: “The twist technique was learned from Chu Kuang. I feel this technique is indeed very powerful, highlighting the unexpected but reasonable.”

The fans were completely speechless.

This person has completely become a Chu fan!

What’s more, someone actually took the screenshots of Shen Jiarui showering Chu Kuang with praise and posted them. That completely exposed the “Chu fan’s” true nature.

Shen Jiarui: “…”

How did I become a Chu fan?

Well, what the hell, there’s nothing wrong with it.

Shen Jiarui thought he had a dog-like composure.

Among those with very high rankings and who were very close to Shen Jiarui, a certain writer secretly chatted with Shen Jiarui a few sentences:

“If I see Chu Kuang in the future, I’ll help you take revenge!”

Shen Jiarui replied his friend without mercy: “You don’t know how scary Chu Kuang really is.”

The friend was furious: “I’m ranked eleventh!”

Shen Jiarui: “How many years have you been writing, and how long has Chu Kuang been writing?”

The friend was silent for a long time before replying: “Hello Chu fan, goodbye Chu fan.”

Shen Jiarui rolled his eyes.

A fact almost nobody knew was that…

Blog, on their side, had also been closely following the performance of Chu Kuang’s new work because they had already reached a preliminary agreement with Chu Kuang. Chu Kuang’s next short work would most likely be published on Blog!

As a result, Blog witnessed Chu Kuang’s strong overtaking and his usual dominance in the short works section!

“Impressive!”

“Even without the boost from the news, it’s inevitable given the widespread circulation of this work in various enterprises, that it would overtake and reclaim first place!”

“Why not strive for someone like this!”

“Exactly, always letting the people from Tribe taste all the sweetness.”

“The most crucial thing is, Chu Kuang has great cost efficiency. Do you remember how much money we spent on inviting Mr. Feng last time? We barely managed to match Chu Kuang.”

“If you can’t beat them, join them!”

“…”
