Divine Lucky Star

Chapter 137: Chapter 137 I Just Like Readers Like This!

At this moment, inside a medium-sized villa in the entire alley, Zhao Zhenhao’s father, Zhao Changsheng, was sitting on the sofa with the lady Wei Qianru, inquiring about the details of the recent dinner.

“Zhenhao,” Zhao Changsheng pondered, “you just said, Wang Hao almost stole all of your thunder. You spent nearly three million on this dinner, and in the end, you got nothing out of it, just a face full of paper notes, and you were even photographed by Fang Wenbin from the Fang family?”

It was like a stain that could last a lifetime!

Zhao Zhenhao sighed helplessly, “Yes, I prepared documents amounting to over a hundred thousand words, and in the end, none of them were used. What’s worse, I’m afraid I’ve lost some points in Miss Yaning’s impression of me.”

Zhao Zhenhao was very frustrated.

It couldn’t be helped, anyone would be frustrated in such a situation. Three million was not a small number! Even for the wealthy Zhao family, such a loss still hurt a little – the main issue was that it was completely in vain, and it had even backfired.

“What’s the background of this Wang Hao?” Zhao Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking gravely, “How can a poor guy from an ordinary family have such capability? Has he read a lot of books before?”

“I don’t know,” Zhao Zhenhao thought for a moment, then said, “I don’t know where he got all that knowledge from, but what’s most important is that he could even recite things from ‘Journey to the West’. Although it’s one of the Four Great Classical Novels, who would read that casually? And remember it so clearly?”

“Yes,” Zhao Changsheng spoke slowly, “Ordinary people might read the Four Great Classical Novels to broaden their horizons, but he can even remember all that. This person is no simple character. And according to what you’ve said, Bai Yaning seems to show him special kindness. Do you know the reason?”

Zhao Zhenhao shook his head: “I’m not clear on that yet. I always feel that their relationship is not as simple as just friends, but with Wang Hao’s appearance, capabilities, and status, it’s obvious that Miss Yaning wouldn’t fall for him. It’s quite mysterious.”

“We really have to be on guard against this,” Zhao Changsheng thought for a moment, then his wife gave a suggestion from the side, “Why not, have someone give him a little ‘knock’?”

“If this person holds a high position in Bai Yaning’s heart, that will have the opposite effect.” Zhao Changsheng thought further, then decisively took out his phone, “I’ll ask Brother Bai over there. Zhenhao, don’t rush. There must be something here that we are not aware of.”

Saying this, he found Bai Haochen’s number and dialed it. After a quick answer, Zhao Changsheng said with a smile, “Brother Bai, are you busy tonight?”

“When it’s a call from Brother Zhao, I have to drop everything, no matter how busy I am,” Bai Haochen replied from the other end of the phone, “What’s the matter at this late hour?”

“It’s like this,” Zhao Changsheng chose his words carefully, “Tonight my son Zhenhao had dinner with your Ninger and that Wang Hao. To put it simply, the dinner didn’t go very smoothly. I wanted to ask, is there anything between your Ninger and that Wang Hao? I always feel that their relationship doesn’t seem that simple.”

“You mean that Wang Hao?” Bai Haochen laughed, “Speaking of which, the poor guy is not bad, I quite like him. Of course, I don’t like him in the way one would like a son-in-law.”

“Alright,” Zhao Changsheng nodded, “Then I’ll look into what exactly is going on.”

Zhao Zhenhao chuckled, then asked, “Father, what should I do now?”

“First of all, we definitely cannot touch Wang Hao,” Zhao Changsheng said, “Bai Yaning and he have a very special relationship. It’s like childhood sweethearts, but without romantic involvement. If Wang Hao were to have any problems and Bai Yaning found out it was our doing, her personality would guarantee a fallout with you. So, I think the best approach for you now is not to press too hard but instead, to get in touch with Wang Hao more, and also spend more time with Bai Yaning, slowly breaking down her defenses. Wen the time comes that you surpass Wang Hao in her heart, everything between you two will naturally fall into place. You can’t rush to eat hot tofu; you must not be too hasty with this matter, or it will have the opposite effect.”

After listening to his father’s words, Zhao Zhenhao already had some ideas in mind.

“I understand, Father,” Zhao Zhenhao finally showed a smile, “Then I will head back first. I’ll find time to meet with Wang Hao tomorrow.”

“Good, go ahead.”

…

“Ah, what a refreshing sleep!”

The next morning, Wang Hao got up early, washed up, and got dressed. Another new day, time to get to work!

First, finish up the ‘Doupo Biography’, then off to the set!

Now, Wang Hao was a standard idle person – it was fine just sitting around on set. Of course, it wasn’t a problem if he didn’t go, since a mascot was acceptable either way.

“Let’s see how the novel is doing,” he found a comfortable spot to sit, turned on his phone – this phone from the prize draw was very nice, look at that speed! Opening the page of his novel, Wang Hao glanced at the statistics – “Collection 5923! As expected of a divine book, this rate is quite good! Haha! More than two thousand recommendation tickets this morning already, truly amazing!”

The novel was the foundation of his rise; it demanded close attention.

A message popped up on QQ –

Long Yi: “Brother Ritian, are you there? Someone is looking for you, urgent!”

Wang Ritian: “What’s the situation?”

Long Yi: “A reader is asking how they can get more updates, willing to reward the Alliance Hierarch! You gotta come!”

Wang Ritian: “For real?”

He hurriedly entered the group and saw a book friend chatting with everyone –

Purple Phoenix: “Has the author not arrived yet? I want to ask how I can get more updates…”

Wang Ritian: “Here, here, what’s going on?”

Purple Phoenix: “Are you the Alliance Hierarch? How can we get more updates? I can’t get enough!”

Wang Ritian: “Well… I’m sorry, but the speed of typing is limited; hoping for more updates is probably too optimistic…”

Purple Phoenix: “How about one more update for an Alliance Hierarch?”

An additional update for a thousand bucks!

He quickly messaged the golden sunflower: “How much reserve do we have now?”

Golden Sunflower: “Only about ten thousand words, what’s up, Brother Ritian?”

Wang Ritian: “Nothing, haha, nothing, just go to class…”

Entering the group, Wang Hao sent a silent emoji –

Wang Ritian: “Doesn’t look like it’s going to work… Do I really need that thousand? Damn it, the key point is that Golden Sunflower doesn’t have any reserve chapters, crying!”

Purple Phoenix: “Ah? Those two alliance hierarchs!”

Damn, two thousand bucks!

Wang Ritian: “The key issue is I don’t have any manuscript saved…”

Purple Phoenix: “Then I’ll send you my photo, that should do it, right? If you don’t have any saved, just write it now!”

Damn this must be a beauty! Sending a photo!

Wang Ritian: “High-definition, uncensored?”

Purple Phoenix: “Yes!”

Wang Ritian: “Still no good.”

Long Yi: “…”

Ren Xing: “…”

Qiangwei: “…”

Purple Phoenix: “…”

Purple Phoenix: “I hate you, author! Sob Sob Sob! So when is the next chapter coming?”

Wang Ritian: “From nine in the morning to six in the evening, I keep a good sense of time.”

Purple Phoenix: “Can it be earlier? Five o’clock?”

Wang Ritian: “No way.”

Purple Phoenix: “I just love authors who have principles, let me go give a reward first!”

Wang Ritian: “…”

Why do I suddenly have principles? The key point is, brother really doesn’t have any manuscript saved…

Very soon Purple Phoenix sends a screenshot—

[Reward] Flowers in full bloom, tears of gratitude, such talent deserves this reward! [Essence] [Top]

Purple Phoenix rewards 100,000 Wind Cloud Coins for faster updates! Update!! UPDATE!!! UPDATE NOW!!!!!

Wang Ritian: “…”

Purple Phoenix: “…”

Long Yi: “Begging for the high-definition uncensored pic!”

Purple Phoenix: “It’s just for Douzi to see, I’m not bothering with you!”

Wang Ritian: “…”

Purple Phoenix: “Douzi, muah!”

Wang Ritian: “Phoenix, muah!”

Bwahahahaha! I just love readers like this!

Ding Ding Ding, the sound of a private chat rings out—

Purple Phoenix: “Douzi, when will the story explode on the shelves?”

Wang Ritian: “It should be around September 1st, that’s when we’ll be competing for the rankings, so I need to work on the manuscript during this time.”

Purple Phoenix: “Really?! How many chapters can explode?”

Wang Ritian: “That depends on the situation…”

Purple Phoenix: “If it’s more than ten chapters, I’ll show you my photo!”

Wang Ritian: “Deal! I’ve decided!”

Purple Phoenix: “Douzi is the best!”

Wang Ritian: “Six updates when it hits the shelves!”

Purple Phoenix: “…”

Wang Ritian: “…”

Purple Phoenix: “I’m so hurt, 55555555”

Wang Ritian: “Quality, it’s all about quality!”

Purple Phoenix: “True, Douzi muah, I’m off to have fun, you better get typing!”

Wang Ritian: “Alright!”
