Chapter 434: Chapter 412 Snow White_1

The news of Chu Kuang writing a fairy tale spread quickly within the company.

However, this news didn’t cause much of a stir within the company.

Perhaps for the Fairy Tale Department, this matter might be crucial for the career competition of the three associate editors.

But for the entire Silver Blue Books, Chu Kuang writing a short fairy tale isn’t something worth fussing over.

This does make sense.

It’s just a small story published in one issue of a fairy tale magazine, could it really make a big splash?

Most people just sigh:

Chu Kuang really has a lot of energy, he wants to try his hand at any type of story.

On the contrary, another piece of news has attracted more attention:

Chu Kuang is Lin Xuan’s secret backer!

Lin Xuan is not famous in the company, not many people know her.

But if Lin Xuan is connected to Chu Kuang, she will be known by the entire company instantly!

Quite a few people began to discuss the relationship between this woman and Chu Kuang.

When Lin Xuan was having lunch in the company canteen, she clearly felt that employees from other departments seemed to be stealing glances at her.

“Have I become famous?”

Lin Xuan was smiling, she didn’t feel uncomfortable and even felt somewhat accustomed to it.

In the past when walking with her brother, many people would steal glances at him, and she happened to get quite a bit of attention—

Lin Xuan has been used to being the center of attention since then.

“That you have, ever since the rumors spread in the department about your relationship with teacher Chu Kuang, many people have been discussing you in private. Teacher Chu Kuang is a very mysterious person, he has never come to the company, other popular authors occasionally come to the company for a visit.”

Zhang Cheng at the side said.

Lin Xuan pouted, she really wanted to know who Chu Kuang was too, but her brother didn’t seem willing to introduce her to him.

But she definitely wouldn’t explain anything on her own initiative.

Only fools would try and explain, it’s easier for her to take advantage of others’ misunderstandings.

Lin Xuan was not a fool.

Although her mother often says she’s a bit slow, most of the time, she’s quite smart.

“By the way.”

Lin Xuan was eating, and asked: “Has the manuscript been sent to the publication department?”

“It has.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng showed a smile: “As expected of teacher Chu Kuang, even though it’s his first time writing a fairy tale, he’s still so skillful, feels like he’s on par with some known authors. Although I can’t quite make out more of it, as the fairy tales need to be market-tested.”

Lin Xuan nodded: “Have Shui Zhourou and Zhang Yang seen it?”

Zhang Cheng said: “Because it was sent over in a rush, they didn’t have time to read it. As for the layout, it’s not our department’s responsibility. They are a little pressed for time, they still have to add character and scene illustrations and such. After all, it’s going to be published before the new year, fairy tale magazines are a big hit during the New Year.”

“And the publicity?”

“The company has arranged it although it’s not on a grand scale. Essentially, the official Weibo account reposts the news of the ‘Fairy Tale King’ going on sale and has the bookstores arrange a few banners recommending stories from famous authors coinciding with the magazine going on sale. However, teacher Chu Kuang’s reputation doesn’t give him any impressive boost when it comes to writing fairy tales. After all, he isn’t a fairy tale author, the parents don’t know him and his fans are primarily adults, adults don’t really read fairy tales.”

The so-called ‘Fairy Tale King’ is a magazine created by the department.

“Alright.”

Lin Xuan nodded.

This was expected. She didn’t anticipate the company doing any special promotional activities, since the department was recently established and wasn’t given much attention.

Besides, short fairy tales are a small category in the market.

While this category is indispensable, it’s hard to compete with other book genres in terms of sales.

Compared to short stories, some long fairy tales have a pretty good market presence and are very popular among children.

Just as Zhang Cheng mentioned, that evening, Silver Blue Books began the promotion for ‘Fairy Tale King’.

The main focus of the promotion revolved around the two famous fairy tale authors that were featured in the first issue of the magazine, Jin Shan and Qiqi.

In addition, Chu Kuang was also mentioned.

The promotional slogan for Silver Blue Books was: “Chu Kuang’s first venture into the realm of fairy tales, creating the short story ‘Snow White’…”

This news didn’t garner much attention.

Only some fans familiar with Chu Kuang let out a few sighs similar to those of Silver Blue’s internal staff:

“Old rascal Chu Kuang is actually writing fairy tale stories?”

No more than that, Chu Kuang writing a small fairy tale doesn’t qualify as any major news.

A small number of fans with children claimed that out of respect for Chu Kuang, they would buy a copy for their child to read.

Many people treated Chu Kuang writing a fairy tale as a trivial matter.

On the other hand.

When Lin Xuan got home, she called Lin Yuan to her room:

“It’s not convenient to go into detail on the phone, don’t you think you should explain to your sister?”

Fine then.

Her sister finally couldn’t resist her curiosity and started grilling Lin Yuan about Chu Kuang.

That’s right.

Since dinner last night when he found out his sister was in need of a fairy tale story, Lin Yuan had decided to lend a hand.

It’s not like it would take much effort anyway.

So he took the chance to customize ‘Snow White’ with the System.

With Lin Yuan’s abundant wealth now, he could afford to fund the customization of such a short fairy tale.

Not only was this a minor matter for the readers, but it was also not a big deal for Lin Yuan.

Including sister’s predictable inquiry, everything was within Lin Yuan’s control.

When he walked into his sister’s bedroom, he intentionally left the door open.

Antarctica, who had been instructed by Lin Yuan beforehand, came in swaggering, even attempting to climb onto the bed.

“Antarctica!”

Lin Xuan didn’t have time to deal with Lin Yuan anymore.

She definitely wouldn’t let Antarctica climb up, his paws are dirty from running outside all the time.

Antarctica had no choice but to give up.

Lin Xuan turned to Lin Yuan again, intending to continue her interrogation, when her eyelids suddenly twitched.

Antarctica had lifted one leg in the corner, preparing to pee.

“Ah!”

Lin Xuan was exasperated.

Lin Yuan understood and gave Antarctica an approving look: “I’ll take him out right now.”

Lin Xuan waved him off weakly.

Lin Yuan left with swagger, Antarctica in tow.

For the next few days, Lin Xuan didn’t bother asking Lin Yuan again.

With the Chinese New Year approaching, there was a lot to do.

Like shopping for New Year’s goods for the house, Lin Xuan was busy taking care of all of that.

On the other hand, Silver Blue Books was efficient.

In just a few days, the ‘Fairy Tale King’ was published and got into the distribution stage.

December 25th.

This newly launched fairy tale magazine of Silver Blue Books, was placed in a conspicuous position on the shelves of major bookstores.

That said, although the ‘Fairy Tale King’ was just launched, the lineup for the first issue was quite impressive.

Both Jin Shan and Qiqi are famous in the fairy tale world and many parents are familiar with them, so they are willing to buy it for their children.

Of course.

This also includes the fans of Chu Kuang who have children. They would buy a copy of ‘Fairy Tale King’ for their children to read out of opportunity—

Snow White is here.
