Chapter 372 - 362: Life is Not a Fixed Number
Swim with the tide, or you’ll get crushed.
Chen Rui didn’t want to become the new Evil Dragon, nor did he want to give up everything he had now, so he had to confront it head-on.
From the inception of the platform, he had mentally prepared himself, and the day had finally arrived. Maybe it would happen in a year or two, perhaps in three to five years, but as long as the company continued to grow, it would inevitably come to a head with them.
"There’s another thing..."
After communicating with Chen Rui for a while, Qin Guanglin looked back at the living room and said, "A friend of mine wants to draw comics... about the same level as Yu Le. Do you have any good advice? Or... um... he’s Iron Crown from the comic ’Wife’... Yeah, that’s him. What if we spin off their story into its own series? Is there any potential in that?"
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and said, "If it turns out well, it’s no problem, but if it’s a flop, it will somewhat affect ’Wife’—and their plotlines work great as side stories, but as the main storyline for a spinoff... it’s a bit weak. I’m not very optimistic."
After a pause, he suggested, "Why not let your friend start by drawing fan comics to practice and also test the waters, see if it’s viable? If it succeeds, then we can talk. After all, as long as you give the authorization, it’s fine."
"Okay, I’ll talk to him about it, and we’ll contact each other on WeChat if there are any issues."
Qin Guanglin considered it feasible and hung up to discuss it with Xiao Yu in the living room.
Xiao Yu naturally agreed. He had a 10% share of the profits from the comic ’Wife,’ which was considered Qin Guanglin’s personal work. He was just making a cameo inside, and he had no issue with drawing fan comics now. After analyzing the selling points and considerations with Qin Guanglin, Xiao Yu asked about everything he didn’t understand and went back eagerly to prepare himself for a trial run.
"You didn’t even have a proper full-moon celebration; remember to set a few tables for the first birthday party."
