Xu Mengyao Tipped Lin Yu!

Time passed second by second.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand...

By the end of the first hour, sales had reached one hundred thousand copies.

Of course, that did not mean one hundred thousand people had bought it.

Some people bought several copies. Books could get lost or torn up by children, and such high-quality books also made great gifts.

Some bookstores and libraries bought them as well.

When they bought, they might purchase dozens of copies at once.

Lin Chen bent down and kissed Lin Xiaoqian. She had fallen asleep for her afternoon nap.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, there's been no news at all. Are sales terrible?"

Lin Chen went into the study, turned on his computer, and sent a message.

He logged into the author dashboard to take a look.

There had been quite a few new Reader Tips, and the clicks and bookmarks had increased by a lot too. Sales should not have been that dismal.

"Big shot, are you a little nervous?"

Chen Xinhan replied to Lin Chen very quickly.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

It was his own book, so naturally he cared about it. But it was absolutely nowhere near the point of being nervous.

He had the system. How could he get nervous over this?

If Fairy Tale did not make much money, he could always switch tracks. It was not like this was the only thing he could do.

"Not bad."

Lin Chen replied.

"Beep beep!"

Chen Xinhan called. Lin Chen answered, and Chen Xinhan said excitedly from the other end, "Lin Chen, one hundred thousand copies! We broke one hundred thousand copies in just one hour!"

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

One hundred thousand copies in a single hour?

Sales in the first hour were definitely the best, but at this rate, perhaps all three hundred thousand copies could sell out in a day.

"Lin Chen, the quality of this book speaks for itself. As long as readers give it good word of mouth, future sales will definitely be strong."

"First-month sales are very likely to exceed one million copies."

Chen Xinhan said excitedly.

Lin Chen joked, "As long as the first print run sells out, I'll be relieved. Don't let yourselves take a huge loss."

Chen Xinhan laughed. "We were just saying that if books like yours can't sell, then we might as well switch careers."

"Lin Chen, the boss will probably contact you tomorrow or the day after to order another print run. You'll be able to make another fortune."

Lin Chen said, "If three hundred thousand copies sell out that quickly, can you keep up with the printing?"

Chen Xinhan burst into laughter on the other end. "Don't worry about that. The factory we work with is a major one. These days, they have little printing business and are practically idle."

"As long as the client pays promptly in our country, when would they ever fail to keep up with printing?"

After hanging up, Chen Xinhan had the operations team take immediate action. Sales of one hundred thousand copies in the first hour had to be promoted right away.

Xu Mengyao was scrolling through Short Videos in her spacious office.

She had just finished a meeting and was taking a moment to relax.

"Moms with kids, let me recommend an amazing book to you. It's my absolute top-recommended Fairy Tale book of the year—"

Xu Mengyao came across a Short Video.

She had a child, so Big Data often recommended this sort of thing to her.

"A Fairy Tale book?"

Xu Mengyao tapped into it.

The next time she went to see Lin Xiaoqian, she could bring her a storybook.

But her standards were high. She did not think much of ordinary books.

Time gradually passed, and Xu Mengyao became completely engrossed in it.

"Knock knock!"

Someone knocked on the office door.

Xu Mengyao came back to herself, somewhat surprised that an adult like her had become absorbed in a Fairy Tale book.

This book is really good. Every Fairy Tale is excellent.

"President Xu, you need to leave for the airport. The car is waiting downstairs."

Her assistant reminded Xu Mengyao.

Xu Mengyao took at least one flight a day now, and as many as three on busy days. She was busy beyond belief every day.

The company had a great many lines of business, and there was also work that had piled up from before.

Some matters required her, the president, to personally step in. Even if the company's Vice President handled them, it would not carry enough weight.

"Let's go."

Xu Mengyao said after getting into the car downstairs.

She had not finished the book, so she continued reading.

Before she knew it, she had finished all forty Fairy Tales Lin Chen had uploaded.

"Every one is a classic. Impressive."

"Lin Yu will definitely become the Story King."

Xu Mengyao thought to herself.

She ordered two copies. One had to stay at her home, while she would bring the other to Lin Chen's place.

Then she could have Lin Chen read it to Lin Xiaoqian.

"I should leave a tip."

Xu Mengyao murmured.

She normally had no habit of giving Reader Tips, but she truly thought Lin Yu's Fairy Tales were excellent.

"A leader is one thousand, a Silver Alliance is ten thousand, and a Golden Alliance is one hundred thousand."

Xu Mengyao discovered that Lin Yu did not yet have a Silver Alliance.

He did have around a dozen ordinary leaders.

"I'll be the first Silver Alliance Leader, then."

Xu Mengyao gave a Reader Tip of ten thousand yuan.

Giving a Golden Alliance Leader tip would have been pocket change to her, but she did not know Lin Yu well enough yet. Perhaps his work was good, but his character was not.

For now, a Silver Alliance Leader tip was enough.

Even if his character turned out to be lacking, his work was worth this much of a tip.

"Huh—"

Lin Chen was sitting in front of his computer at the moment.

He discovered that he had somehow gained a Silver Alliance Leader.

A Silver Alliance was worth ten thousand yuan. This person was quite supportive of him.

"Thanks for the support."

Lin Chen offered a simple thank-you.

The next day arrived quickly. Chen Xinhan and the others stared at the large screen displaying the sales figures.

The numbers kept ticking upward.

Suddenly, the figure jumped straight to .

Clatter!

Warm applause erupted.

It was ten in the morning now. In twenty-two hours, all three hundred thousand copies from the first print run had sold out.

"Boss, all three hundred thousand copies have sold out."

Chen Xinhan hurriedly called Liang Zhirong.

On the other end, Liang Zhirong was ecstatic.

This gamble had paid off.

"Old Chen, call Lin Chen and order another Five Hundred Thousand copies... Forget it, I'll call him myself."

Liang Zhirong said.

Liang Zhirong quickly called Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was surprised. "CEO Liang, another print run so soon?"

Liang Zhirong laughed heartily from the other end. "That's right. We're not doing Hunger Marketing. We'll provide as much as people want. As long as readers like it, we'll do our best to meet demand."

"Lin Chen, let's sign the reprint contract online."

"Once the contract is signed, we'll transfer the money to you right away."

The contract was already prepared; they only needed to change the figures. Just over ten minutes later, Lin Chen signed the reprint contract with Childlike Heart Network.

"Ding—"

Less than Two Hours later, he received a text message from the bank.

Two million three hundred and fifty thousand yuan had been deposited!

He had transferred seven hundred thousand yuan to his family from the previous payment, leaving over seven hundred thousand. With this added in, he now had three million one hundred thousand yuan.

—He had originally planned to give them One Million, but his father absolutely refused. Only after much persuasion did he agree to accept seven hundred thousand yuan.

His father had wanted him to give them only Five Hundred Thousand yuan.

They had spent One Million yuan in total and still had three or four hundred thousand yuan in Savings. Even if they borrowed some money, they could repay it themselves later.

Even though Lin Chen was making money quickly now, they knew it would not be easy for him to buy a good home in Magic City.

Three million one hundred thousand yuan is still far from enough for the house payment.

Lin Chen muttered inwardly.

The additional Five Hundred Thousand copies would not sell out anytime soon. He probably would not earn much more from this book in the short term.

But he could still publish a second book!

Once his fame and reputation rose, the second book's sales would not be bad either.
