Signing with Childlike Heart Network!

"So they got a Homepage Recommendation."

"The Reader Tips from those two short stories have already added up to a thousand yuan. Not bad, not bad."

Lin Chen smiled.

He quickly uploaded the other eight stories he had written as well.

These fairy tales should all become popular. By then, his fairy tales would bring him a considerable amount of money in Reader Tips every day.

"Truly impressive."

Chen Wenhan sighed in admiration.

After giving them the recommendation, he had been watching the data. Over the same three-hour period, Lin Yu's two short stories had far higher Click-through Rates.

His review had played a role, and he guessed that some readers had recommended them to others, drawing in many people.

With the same Recommendation Slot, other stories usually only got ten to twenty thousand clicks in three hours.

Thirty thousand was already considered exceptionally good data.

Yet both of Lin Yu's stories had surpassed Fifty Thousand clicks.

"Beep beep!"

Chen Wenhan's phone rang again.

"Editor-in-Chief, you're not asleep yet, are you?"

"I just got into bed and was about to sleep. Nothing happened, did it?"

Chen Wenhan grew a little nervous. Could it be that another website had poached Lin Yu, and Lin Yu had posted an announcement before directly running off to another site?

Xu Xiao said excitedly from the other end of the call, "Editor-in-Chief, I guess our recommendation came at the right time. Lin Yu felt our sincerity and posted another eight fairy tales!"

"I picked one to read. It's still above Immortal Grass level!"

Chen Wenhan immediately sat up.

He hurried into his study and turned his computer back on.

Sure enough, Lin Yu had updated another eight stories!

"Strong, too strong!"

"Boss Lin Yu's standards are absolutely world-class!"

Chen Wenhan finished two of them as quickly as possible. Their quality was on the same level as the first two.

"Beep beep!"

Chen Wenhan's phone rang.

It was a publisher calling him.

"Three thousand yuan for an outright purchase per story? General Manager Li, if you have fairy tales of this caliber, I'll pay five thousand per story. I'll buy as many as you have."

Chen Wenhan hung up.

Three thousand yuan per story to buy fairy tales of this caliber? Keep dreaming.

For a Newbie, three thousand yuan per story might have been quite good. But with Lin Yu's level, Chen Wenhan felt that Lin Yu could not possibly be a newcomer. He had to be a top-tier master.

If he dared contact Lin Yu and quote that price, Lin Yu might Run Away overnight.

"Beep beep!"

Less than two minutes later, Chen Wenhan's phone rang again.

Someone else wanted Contact Information so they could make a purchase.

"Old Zhang, ten thousand per story would be acceptable for Immortal Grass-level works, but Lin Yu's are all masterpieces above Immortal Grass."

"A hundred years from now, we'll be gone, but these fairy tales will still remain. Do you really think someone with Lin Yu's skill could be a newcomer?"

"Thirty thousand per story? I can ask Lin Yu for you, but at that price, I doubt you'll be able to buy them."

After chatting with the other party for a while, Chen Wenhan hung up.

Thirty thousand yuan per story was not a low price, but he knew that it would still be difficult to buy fairy tales of this caliber at such a price.

"Beep beep!"

Before long, a third call came in.

The night passed.

Lin Chen slept quite well. Chen Wenhan did not fall asleep until three in the morning, and a little after six, he was awakened by a phone call.

Lin Xiaoqian was still asleep. Lin Chen got up and went to the study.

"Hm?"

Lin Chen was startled when he opened the author dashboard.

The first two stories were both nearing one hundred thousand clicks.

The other eight had each reached forty to fifty thousand clicks as well.

The total Reader Tips for all ten stories had already exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Of course, not all of the tip money belonged to him. The website took thirty percent.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen Wenhan?"

Lin Chen noticed an Internal Message in the dashboard.

The editor-in-chief of Childlike Heart Network wanted to add him as a WeChat Friend.

"I won't add him for now."

Lin Chen was in no hurry to add him.

If he added him eagerly, he would look like a Newbie.

Before he knew it, noon arrived.

After lunch, Lin Xiaoqian played for a while before falling asleep for her nap.

Only then did Lin Chen add Chen Wenhan.

Chen Wenhan had been unable to focus on work all morning.

Lin Chen was too capable. If they did not give him the best recommendations, he might Run Away. But if they gave him the best recommendations, he might take the users and Run Away anyway.

In the current situation, he had given him the best recommendations. If Lin Chen left with the users, he might even have to resign.

"Ding!"

His phone chimed.

Chen Wenhan quickly picked it up.

"He added me. He finally added me!"

Chen Wenhan was overjoyed.

Lin Chen had not added him for half the day, leaving him restless and anxious.

"Boss, I'm Chen Wenhan, editor-in-chief of Childlike Heart Network. I contacted you because many publishers want to buy the fairy tales you wrote."

Chen Wenhan quickly sent Lin Chen a message.

"What price are they offering?"

Lin Chen asked curiously.

Chen Wenhan hurriedly replied, "All ten fairy tales are of very high quality. The highest offer is six hundred and eighty thousand yuan."

Lin Chen's heartbeat sped up slightly.

He had written those ten fairy tales in three or four hours.

However, they were not his originals. The system had given them to him. Although his own skills were high, it would already be quite impressive if he could create one fairy tale of this caliber in three days.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, I don't want to sell them for now."

"I'll have other fairy tales to publish later. What kind of terms can Childlike Heart Network offer me going forward?"

Lin Chen replied.

Chen Wenhan let out a sigh of relief.

As long as Lin Chen did not Run Away, everything else was negotiable!

"Boss, I also suggest that you don't sell them now. Your works will definitely fetch higher prices in the future."

"Could we meet in person? We'll offer you the best terms."

Lin Chen pondered it. If he did not sign with Childlike Heart Network, they would certainly worry. Since he had not signed with anyone, he could Run Away at any time.

"There's no need to meet."

"Discuss it and see what terms you can offer. If the terms are good enough, we can sign online."

After considering it for a while, Lin Chen replied.

He had to take care of Lin Xiaoqian and had no time to meet them offline.

Besides, he did not want to show his face or have his identity exposed. Otherwise, it might very well affect his Child-Rearing Endeavor.

Writing fairy tales was only a way to earn some money. Taking good care of Lin Xiaoqian was what mattered most.

"Alright, Boss."

Chen Wenhan quickly reported it to his boss.

Even though he was the editor-in-chief, he could not make the final decision on this matter.

An hour later, Chen Wenhan sent over a document.

Lin Chen opened it and took a look.

The terms offered by Childlike Heart Network were quite good. They would give him all kinds of recommendations, and Childlike Heart Network would also provide promotional resources outside the platform.

In addition, the Reader Tips would be split 90/10, with him receiving ninety percent. Childlike Heart Network would only get ten percent, which might not even cover their taxes.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, the terms are acceptable."

"I can sign with the website."

Lin Chen carefully read through them before replying.

He was only publishing on Childlike Heart Network; the copyright belonged to him. If he wanted to publish them physically, the website would still have to cooperate with him in promotion.

"Boss, we'll prepare the contract right away."

"The boss said that, to show our sincerity, we'll also give you a three-hundred-thousand-yuan Signing Bonus."

Chen Wenhan replied delightedly.

For a top-tier writer, a three-hundred-thousand-yuan Signing Bonus was not much, but adding it after the terms had already been negotiated was a heartwarming gesture.

Lin Chen smiled.

They had probably discussed giving the Signing Bonus long ago. Since he had not haggled over every detail, the website had not tried to save that money either.

"Thank you."

Very soon, Chen Wenhan sent over the Electronic Contract.

Lin Chen signed the Electronic Contract.

"Boss, happy cooperation. If you have any problems, just contact me anytime."

Chen Wenhan beamed.

With a Super God supporting the website, it could develop rapidly.

His bonus for the year would definitely be substantial.
