Chapter 1410 Procrastination
Having solved the problem of Wangjiang Watch, Chen Mu's next step is to go to space and subdue the last of the ten most bizarre scenes.
Chen Mu was planning to approve all the official business of Wangjiang Watchtower tomorrow. He also planned to review all the backlogged documents.
The bizarre scenario of quickly handling internal matters and then setting off for space the day after tomorrow.
Anyway, I can pinpoint the location of that eerie scene in my mind.
As a high-level demon lord, traversing space is a piece of cake for me. I can go whenever I want.
Chen Mu checked the time; the spaceship had been flying for exactly two days and had covered a considerable distance.
Before heading to the eerie scene, we'll take a look at the nearby spaceship to see the actual capabilities of the rocket, as a side inspection.
Perfect arrangement!
My schedule is packed, with no time wasted.
These days are quite fulfilling, but a bit tiring.
However, faced with the possibility of a "major flood," Chen Mu felt more uneasy and anxious.
A fulfilling life, on the contrary, gives him a sense of security.
It's okay to be a little tired.
Having figured all this out, Chen Mu fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
Chen Mu resumed his normal routine and stopped sleeping in late.
He got up promptly at seven o'clock in the morning.
After washing up and eating a hot breakfast, Chen Mu returned to his study and sat down at his desk.
On the desk, there were piles of documents.
These are all accumulated over so many days.
After each Ghost Gate event, Chen Mu had to face mountains of documents.
All the matters mentioned above, big and small, are related to the development of Wangjiang Shouwang.
Things like building a new factory, implementing a certain policy, or adjusting the interest rates of the Underworld Bank...
These things might be a huge deal to some employees.
For someone like the person in charge of the new factory, building this new factory is an extremely important task.
Furthermore, policy formulation often involves numerous experts holding meetings and discussions for several months before a final decision is made.
However, in Chen Mu's eyes, it was nothing more than a trivial document.
Whether he approves or not, he can change the fate of many people.
For example, if Chen Mu doesn't approve the factory construction for the time being, the person in charge might go bankrupt.
Once someone reaches the pinnacle of power, a casual remark can become an unbearable burden for others.
Chen Mu could understand this point. When reviewing documents, his power as the leader of the Wangjiang Watch was constantly being realized and embodied.
However, Chen Mu wasn't targeting anyone; he handled everything officially and wouldn't make things difficult for others.
After reviewing documents for half a day, while Chen Mu was resting, Xu Yueji reminded him:
"Mr. Chen, Chief Engineer Tian Shih-Han came to see you half an hour ago."
I didn't want to disturb you while you were working. She's not in a hurry to see you, so she's waiting downstairs.
Now, do you think we should go see her? She's sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Chen Mu scratched his head. Tian Shihan wanted to see him?
What is she looking for?
Chen Mu thought for a moment. Tian Shihan contacting him probably wasn't about personal matters. After all, Chen Mu couldn't think of any private issues they would discuss.
The person Tian Shih-Han gets along with best is probably Cha Cha.
Wait a minute... Chen Mu suddenly realized, could it be because of a domineering CEO web novel?
Last time, I said I'd give Tian Shihhan some extra help, so Chen Mu gathered over a dozen online authors, some who write CEO romance novels, some who write action-packed thrillers, and some who write angst...
Anyway, we gathered them all together and commissioned them to write a unified article.
In other words, Chen Mu commissioned more than a dozen domineering CEO novels for Tian Shihan, paying her a starting fee of 100 yuan per thousand words.
This can be considered Chen Mu's way of thanking Tian Shihhan for guarding the black hole in the desert.
The deadline for the article is three months, which means it will be due tomorrow.
Why would Tian Shih-han contact me at this time? It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Just because of a domineering CEO novel?
Chen Mu thought about it again and realized that wasn't right either.
Firstly, Tian Shihhan was unaware that Chen Mu had secretly commissioned her to write articles.
Secondly, the deadline is tomorrow, but this deadline is not the "submission date," but rather the date before which the entire series must be completed.
So theoretically speaking, these dozen or so novels should all be almost finished with their serializations by now.
If I had started writing quickly, I probably would have finished it a month or two ago.
All the completed novels are stored in the library, and Tian Shih-Han has been able to read them to her heart's content for a long time.
So why look for yourself at this time?
Chen Mu was completely confused. He called out to Xu Yueji and asked, "Xiaoyue, have those dozen or so CEO novels been released yet? Has Tian Shihan checked them out?"
After checking, Xu Yueji replied, "Mr. Chen, these novels cannot be found in the library's database."
Chen Mu's eyes widened. "What's going on? Not a single one?"
"Yes, not a single one."
Hearing Xu Yueji's answer, Chen Mu couldn't believe it.
More than a dozen novels, which started serialization three months ago, must be updated before midnight tonight. This is what Chen Mu agreed to in his contract with them.
How come 90 days have passed? There are less than 20 hours left until the end of the serialization.
As a result, not a single novel was serialized?
What's happening here?
Could it be that those online novel writers are taking money but not doing their jobs?
Xu Yueji said, "Mr. Chen, you don't need to worry. It's 12 a.m. now. There are still 15 hours until midnight."
Chen Mu nodded. "That's right. There are only 15 hours left, and not a single book yet! I suspect they haven't even started writing."
Xu Yueji said, "Mr. Chen, your suspicion is very likely correct. Based on my analysis of online novel authors, many of them suffer from procrastination."
They don't dare not submit their work, but they are very bold in procrastinating.
Even with plenty of time, it will still be delayed until the last minute before the deadline.
So it's perfectly normal that there are still 15 hours left and no novel has been updated.
I'm guessing the last hour, after 11 PM, will be the peak time for updates. Most authors are probably rushing to submit their work just before the deadline.
Chen Mu scratched his head. "Is this how things are done? I should have changed the rules and made them update two chapters a day."
“Boss Chen, if that’s the case, they will most likely only update at the last minute after 11 p.m. It wouldn’t be surprising if they update at 11:59 p.m.,” said Xu Yueji.
"This is just too outrageous! Aren't they afraid of being beaten to death by the readers?" Chen Mu exclaimed.
“Perhaps for them, procrastination is also a very painful thing,” said Xu Yue Ji.
If it weren't for the novel, Chen Mu wouldn't have been able to figure out what Tian Shihhan's purpose was.
