Chapter 627: Web Comic Volume (27): Provoke the Big Boss

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Other than congratulations, there was also envy.
“Editor Liu was the one who gave me the opportunity.” Yiyi Zining smiled modestly.
Several male authors smiled and thought of the latest rumor. “By the way, Editor Liu, has Magic Lamp left your group again?”
“It’s her loss.” Upon hearing this, Editor Liu glanced in Editor Shen’s direction faintly.
But he didn’t expect Editor Shen to be sitting there without a hint of panic on his face.
He couldn’t help but frown, feeling rather surprised.
“She’s just a small fry.” Editor Liu sneered, thinking of how he would make them pay for it next time. He turned to Yiyi Zining and said, “Zining, go onto Weibo later and blow this matter up even more…”
As he spoke, he realized that the sounds of congratulations for him and Yiyi Zining gradually became quieter.
In the end, complete silence ensued.
The male author who had just complimented him stared behind him as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing this, Editor Liu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and abruptly turn around. The next slide had appeared on the screen, and the content couldn’t be simpler.
Internal Author: Magic Lamp
Internal Editor: Editor Shen
The smile on Editor Liu’s face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After the meeting, he walked up to Editor Shen and said through gritted teeth, “Editor Shen, good on you.”
He sneered coldly and went straight out.
Upon seeing this result, the others in the conference room didn’t dare talk to Editor Shen anymore and avoided him.
Everyone knew Editor Liu’s family background.
Everyone had congratulated Yiyi Zining just now when they thought it would be her. After all, both she and Editor Liu had pillars of support behind them and were here to mess with the system.
“Are you alright?” Assistant Cao was a little worried.
Editor Shen shook his head. “I’m not sure, either. But… Fourth Master Liu probably won’t cause a big scene, will he?”
The two exchanged glances and remained silent.
…
Editor Liu’s office.
Mu Zining came in with her phone. Although she was in a bad mood, she didn’t show it.
Beside her, her assistant barged in furiously. “Sister Zining, Editor Liu, I just heard that Editor Shen met up with Magic Lamp. Some people even took pictures of them!”
“They met up? No wonder they conspired to obtain the contract. I’ll ask Mo Zhihuai about it.” Fourth Master Liu’s expression was ice cold.
Mu Zining remained silent and only looked hurt.
Her assistant was furious, on the other hand. She took out her phone and showed them a picture. “Look, this is the picture they took secretly.”
She enlarged the image for Editor Liu to see.
In the picture was a female, whose face was full of pockmarks. She had buck teeth, a mole on her mouth, and her skin was also yellow.
“This is Magic Lamp?” Fourth Master Liu averted his eyes. If he gave the picture a second glance, he felt like his eyes would be polluted.
He directly went out to find Mo Zhihuai.
Mu Zining remained in the office, looking thoughtful.
She opened Weibo and saw that Pinnacle Studios had already publicized the cooperation with Magic Lamp.
It was on the third hot search.
This matter had been on the hot search ever since yesterday.
After everyone sent their congratulations, they realized that something was wrong. Wasn’t it Yiyi Zining who was on the hot search yesterday? Yiyi Zining had even liked the comment. When did it become Magic Lamp?
The netizens started discussing it furiously.
Yiyi Zining was like a mini-celebrity. She looked no less than a celebrity and was a talented woman, so she was the goddess of all otaku.
She had countless loyal fans.
Soon, with her big investment, Zining’s fans approached her assistant and asked him what was going on.
Mu Zining’s assistant was too furious at this time. In terms of fame and value, the default candidate should have been Yiyi Zining. Everyone in the company had thought so as well, but who knew that they would be cut off?
He typed furiously—
[It was all because of that old lady, Magic Lamp. She even asked her editor out for lunch (Puke). This spot was supposed to be Sister Zining’s. Everyone in the company knows of it. The entire editorial department was shocked senseless when they heard the announcement just now. Our Sister Ning and Editor Liu worked so hard for this matter, but this is what they get in the end? Sister Zining must be terribly upset.]
Then, he even sent a picture of “Magic Lamp”.
Yiyi Zining already had many fangirls and fanboys.
Upon seeing this explanation, everyone exploded. Their goddess’s big resources had just been snatched by someone, and their goddess was now heartbroken. How could they let it be?!
Zining’s fansite sent this news to several groups, causing a whole group of fans to become angry.
Ten minutes later, Zining’s fansite also posted—
[@Pinnacle Studios @Magic Lamp, the comics industry is so disgusting now to use unspoken rules to bully our sister? This spot was originally our sister’s, but why did it suddenly become Magic Lamp’s?? Wtf? Also, a certain editor of Pinnacle Studios, you’re able to do it with someone who looks like that? (Picture) Our fans collectively demand a statement from Pinnacle Studios. Otherwise, all fans will resist “Celestial Wolf” and the convenient four-dimensional reading!]
Mu Zining’s fans weren’t just talking big, and her second-rate celebrity influence wasn’t fake either.
In the next second, her fans occupied Pinnacle Studios’s turf.
Many people were cursing Magic Lamp and Pinnacle Studios’s management.
“The face of comics? Isn’t it too overblown?”
“She dared to snatch Yiyi Zining’s resources? Is she disregarding us millions of fans?”
“Hahaha, Magic Lamp wants to step on Yiyi Zining, I can see that. Unfortunately, she’s only shooting herself in the foot.”
Some people also went to Qin Xiuchen and the Qin Corporation’s Weibo—
“Chairman Qin, quickly change the author…”
Mu Zining originally had a lot of fans, and her big fansite wasn’t short of money. They even bought robots to blow the matter up even more.
Soon, several hot searches appeared.
The impact of this incident was too great. The hot searches were “Hidden rules”, “Snatching resources”, “Behind-the-scenes”, and “Magic Lamp’s picture”…
When the person-in-charge of Pinnacle Studios’s public relations department saw it, he naturally reported it to Mo Zhihuai.
The rapid development of this matter also alarmed the Qin family.
“You haven’t removed the hot searches?” Mo Zhihuai looked at the Chief of the public relations department.
The Chief shook his head. “The officials said that someone paid to hang the system for an hour, and it can’t be suppressed… You know Editor Liu…”
The Chief was obviously implying something.
Pursing his lips, Mo Zhihuai knew that Editor Liu must have put pressure on the Weibo officials.
He got up and said, “Call a meeting and gather them all.”
…
In the meeting room.
Mo Zhihuai looked at Editor Liu. “You messed with the online system, right?”
“I’m just defending the author under me, Young Master Mo. If you don’t believe me, it’s because you don’t know how rich the resources are from the Qin family’s cooperation this time. In the company, only you and Zining are worthy of it, but it suddenly became Magic Lamp. Don’t you need to give us a reason? You think Zining and I are easy to bully?” Editor Liu was self-righteous.
Editor Shen was so angry that his eyes turned red. “Just come at me whatever it is. Why are you cyberbullying a girl?!”
“Hah, Editor Shen, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Editor Liu sneered at him. “If you dare to do it, why are you afraid of others telling the truth? Otherwise, tell me, how did the Qin family’s contract fall into Magic Lamp’s hands? Don’t bullshit me.”
Upon seeing Editor Liu’s behavior, Editor Shen knew that there was no resolving this matter.
“If there’s nothing else, Young Master Mo, I’ll take my leave first.” Editor Liu left directly.
In the meeting room, Mo Zhihuai’s expression changed.
He let out a sigh of relief after a long while.
Taking out his mobile phone, he clicked on Magic Lamp’s WeChat and was about to send something. However, he kept deleting the message and typing again, and eventually sent this—
[Don’t be too bothered about what’s happening on Weibo.]
Qin Ran never liked following what was happening on Weibo.
Upon receiving this message, she paused while playing a game.
“What’s wrong?” He Wen asked through the headphones.
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
…
Outside the conference room in Pinnacle Studios.
Yiyi Zining waited for Editor Liu to come out and said worriedly, “Fourth Master Liu, it’s okay. Why don’t we just forget about it? I can just give up the resources…”
She sighed. “Film Emperor Qin is a fan of Magic Lamp. With her comics as the cover page and Film Emperor Qin’s fan base, I’m afraid…”
“What could happen? Don’t worry. If she really knows Film Emperor Qin, she would have asked him to post on Weibo already,” Editor Liu took out a cigarette and said indifferently.
They were really blowing the matter up, and there was no taking it back.
Not long after.
The Qin family’s headquarters also received a tag.
[Please give Yiyi Zining a statement from your company!]
[Hello? I want to know how your company selected the author, hehe (Smile)]
