As soon as Smiling Angel’s post was published, everyone on Longshan was completely stunned!

There’s proof in Angel Wings’s post, but Smiling Angel also has a point. So, who should we trust?

This time, an extremely heated argument started on Longshan Forum. Some netizens supported “Battle Through the Heavens” and some “Fight Through the Heavens.” In one hour, the forum was filled with topics about this title battle!

“Are you kidding me? His title sounds mighty and he has an impressive book number of 1688888. I think the truth is all in the screenshots!”

“So what if the book number is incredible? Heaven Xiao is a real guru. Would it really be necessary for him to degrade himself and contact a newbie for a title?”

“We don’t know for sure. This title and book number are indeed appealing. It isn’t impossible that the guru is suppressing the newbie.”

“We know what Master Heaven Xiao is capable of. People will always read his novel even if he randomly makes up a title. Doing all that is completely unnecessary!”

While the netizens on Longshan were arguing fiercely, Wang Hao, on the other hand, was smiling broadly…

“65 bookmarks!” “71 bookmarks!” “74 bookmarks!” “16 more recommendations and a total of 124!” “F*ck, 135!”

Netizens on the forum had entered an endless quarrel, and because of that, the stats for “Battle Through the Heavens” started to rise rapidly!

After all, more discussion meant higher popularity, and the quality of “Battle Through the Heavens” was definitely there, which led to this weird phenomenon — while people were arguing furiously, Wang Hao was feeling utterly thrilled…

He howled with laughter. “Hahaha! This is awesome! I don’t even have to buy bookmarks, recommendations or views. Awesome!”

Make hay while the sun shines. I must seize this opportunity to update my novel!

The updates and hype on Longshan had a pretty satisfying impact. The stats for “Battle Through the Heavens” increased rapidly, and the novel also rapidly climbed up the leaderboard.

56th, 52th, 47th…

Originally, Wang Hao was thinking that if the stats still weren’t enough for the novel to get on the leaderboard by next week, he would go and buy some from the Longshan Black Market. Looking at the situation right now, it seemed that he didn’t need to do so anymore…

Ahahaha, awesome!

Except for lunchtime, Wang Hao spent almost the entire day refreshing the author management page and talking to Sunflower about the subsequent plot.

Now that the novel has gained a bit of a fame, let’s put aside the quarrel on Longshan. As long as my screenshots are there, the worst outcome would be a draw at the most, with half of them supporters and half of them the opposition. The most important thing is that this can definitely draw more attention. Exposure, it’s exposure, hehe.

Wang Hao was then seized with fear all of a sudden. Damn, it’s a good thing I was careful enough, or I would be in trouble.

“Hmph! I won’t let you succeed.” Wang Hao wasn’t the kind of person who stayed silent when he was picked on. He sneered in his mind. “The day I’m lucky will be the day you fall! F*ck!”

…

At 2pm, an unexpected guest arrived on the set of “The Domestic Agent.”

It was a man in his mid-30s. He headed straight for Director Gao and introduced himself.

“Hello, Director Gao. I’m Zhou Zibo from the HR Department at Bai Corporation. Here’s my business card.” The man gave Director Gao his card, then sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.

Bai Corporation was an absolutely significant company. Even though Star Gao was a renowned director in the industry, Bai Corporation’s name also made him gasp. He immediately responded with a warm greeting. “Hello, hello. How can we help you…”

The man finished the tea, then slowly asked, “I’m here to ask you about someone called Wang Hao. He works here, right?”

Wang Hao? Someone from Bai Corporation is asking about Wang Hao?

“Ah, yes. Did he… offend you?” Star Gao sucked in his breath.

If it’s just a normal matter, it’ll be fine. However, if he’s displeased Bai Corporation… that’s definitely a big deal. I won’t be able to help him at all.

But Wang Hao is usually a sweet talker; I don’t think he would offend Bai Corporation. Besides, he doesn’t have that much power to do so.

“No.” Luckily, Zhou Zibo quickly dispelled Star Gao’s doubts. “It’s just that our company needs his information for something. Don’t worry about it.”

It was a relief that Wang Hao hadn’t displeased Bai Corporation. Star Gao then nodded. “I see. So, what do you want to know, Mr. Zhou?”

“I just want to know what he’s been up to,” Zhou Zibo said slowly. “Like, has he been acting strange? How’s his performance on set? Has he been in contact with anyone special lately?”

“Acting strange?” Star Gao pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. In fact, he’s been with us for just two days. He’s been performing well and has a lot of great ideas; he even helped Mr. Li Fei with script revisions. Oh, right, I heard that he’s writing a novel to make some pocket money or something. I don’t know if that’s helpful.”

“Write novels? Make pocket money?” Zhou Zibo hummed and nodded. “What’s the title of the novel, do you know?”

“I think it’s called ‘Battle Through the Heavens.'” Star Gao thought for a while, then said with certainty, “That’s it. I heard him say this title when he was talking to Moon Zheng.”

“‘Battle Through the Heavens…'” Zhou Zibo jotted down the novel title and asked again, “What about the people he’s in contact with?”

“Nothing special.” Star Gao shook his head and said, “It’s just that our drama’s investor, Master Wayward Ren, is his childhood friend, and they usually catch up with each other when they meet here. Nothing else apart from that.”

“Alright, thank you.” Zhou Zibo didn’t ask any other questions after he got this piece of information. He got up and said, “I hope Director Gao can keep this meeting a secret, especially from Wang Hao.”

“Don’t worry, my lips are sealed!” Star Gao immediately agreed. “I promise I won’t tell anyone. You can rest assured.”

Zhou Zibo worked for Bai Corporation, which Star Gao knew he couldn’t offend. Plus, it was a simple request anyway, so he definitely had to agree.

“Thank you.” Zhou Zibo nodded and said, “About your drama, our company can sponsor you one million yuan to show our appreciation for your help. Of course, we also hope that Director Gao can help advertise our products; any one of them will do.”

That’s very much like the Bai Family, to offer us one million yuan in exchange for just advertising their products.

Of course, Star Gao couldn’t reject such a great deal. He quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, I’m sure we can do that!” The Bai Family had a wide range of production chains, so it was very easy to advertise their products, particularly when they didn’t have any specific requirements. They only had to choose a couple of the products based on the plot. Star Gao was very confident that they could do that.

“Very well, then. See you.” Zhou Zibo left right away after completing his mission.
