"Rice Krispies or Koko Krunch?" I asked Hailey while waiving both boxes in the air. My entire family was all cuddled together at the living room while watching TV at 6:30 in the morning. They all wanted to sleep more, but then the sound of a construction for a new commercial complex nearby could be heard in the neighborhood.
"Koko Krunch!" Hailey responded, full of energy despite her interrupted sleep.
"How about you, Robin?"
"Rice Krispies." He was half asleep when he said this, trying to open his eyes.
"Marie?"
"I'll have Rice Krispies, too." She sounded and looked exactly like Robin when she responded.
"Papa?"
"I'll fix one for myself, son. I'm not one of the kids. And I think you're spoiling them. You know they can fix themselves their own bowl of cereal." He didn't look sluggish like Robin and Marie because he's been awake since five. No matter what time he sleeps, he's always awake by five.
"I know. I just wanted to do something for them before I go to work." I carried five bowls from the kitchen to the dining table and realized something when I looked at papa, whose face showed anticipation for something unwanted to happen. "You don't want me to prepare breakfast, do you? 'Cause I might drop or break something." I gave him a simpered smile for knowing exactly what was on his mind.
"I'm not worried. Those bowls are unbreakable." He casually said, trying to convince me, but I didn't buy it. The bowls may be unbreakable, but I could still make a mess by pouring too much milk on cereal, or by spilling something else. He's a very organized and clean person, so I know any mess I make would bother him.
With that in mind, I carefully poured cereal on the bowls, took out 2 cartons of milk from the refrigerator, and put them on the dining table. I did the same for the cold pitcher of water and glasses. "Let's all have breakfast now." I smiled. It was a smile of victory for not spilling anything. I wanted to show them that my presence in the kitchen and dining room weren't a threat to the cleanliness of the house. I promised myself I'd pay more attention to people and it would start with my family.
Last night, I came home at eleven, feeling so satisfied for finishing The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy. Thanks to that, I could start reading the sequel once I get the chance. The amount and quality of reading were all possible because of the beautiful fountain which became my new reading spot. I couldn't be happier because I loved the ambiance there. It was so comfortable as if it were really built for me as a special place to read and relax my mind.
Papa and I were across each other at the table; it's our usual seating arrangement. Hailey's spot is always on my right side, Robin's on my left, then Marie is always sitting between Hailey and papa.
"You look happy today, son. I know you're always happy when you're holding or reading a book, but it's the first time I'm seeing you without one. You didn't spill anything today because you weren't distracted." He gave me a contented look.
"Yeah, I've decided to stop multi-tasking. I realized that there's a perfect time and place for reading."
"Wow, whatever or whoever made you decide to make that change, I'm grateful." He smiled while chewing his food.
I smiled back.
By 8:30am, I was on my bike headed for work with my book on the front basket as usual. It only takes five minutes to go to the bookstore; I think everywhere in my small town takes less than 10 minutes.
Today, I wore a clean white shirt that emphasized the big built of my body. I have muscles too, you know. Just enough to show my manly physique. I also wore blue jeans and white Fila sneakers. My comfy and casual attire should look approachable enough for me to connect with customers. Most people in the town don't bother talking to me because they know I'm always busy reading a book. That should change. I want them to start feeling comfortable around me. Comfortable enough to talk to me at least. I mean, I can't change instantly and consistently, but I'm willing to try.
At nine, I flipped the bookstore's sign from 'Closed' to 'Open.' It was hanging on the right side of the door. Our bookstore is a rectangle-shaped one-story shop that has yellow borders and beige exterior. There's a transparent square glass on the left side with yellow border, and an acrylic calligraphy that says, 'A book is a gift you can open again and again.' The double door in the middle also has yellow borders and it's showing the 'Open' sign I mentioned a while ago. Then, on the right side is another transparent square glass with yellow border and an acrylic calligraphy that says, 'Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.' Both quotes have the name of the quotee or the one who said them. There's also a big brown signage at the top that says, 'The Pilgrim Bookstore.'
I sat on my desk and started reading License to Quill (the sequel that I told you about), but I assure you I'll put it down once the customers start coming in. There's not much to do for now, although I do have a variety of tasks to do within the day; mostly related to cash sales, credit card purchases, reordering, stocking and pricing of merchandise, invoicing, and handling refunds although this rarely happens.
When there's not that many customers, there's not much to do and I normally do the inventory an hour before the closing time. We close at 5pm. Although my work isn't rocket science, it can get really busy and crazy when school starts, so both papa and I need to be at work at the same time. When it's summer vacation, we just have enough customers to get us by. Mostly the ones who are avid readers, the ones who love magazines, and the ones who love art because aside from school supplies, we have art supplies, too.
The desks look neat because papa always makes sure they're neat. They are two black L-shaped desks, each with a cashier and desktop computer; underneath them are built-in drawers. Most importantly, we have awesome high back swivel chairs with headrest, the most comfortable office chairs anyone can have!
A sound alerted me to put down my book as two customers came in. There's this cat wind chime hanging on the upper part of our door, so there's a clinging sound whenever the door opens. It's a cat with six tiny copper bells hanging. Such a beautiful ornament really.
After maybe 15 minutes, one of the two female customers, whom I instantly recognized as a valued customer, approached me, so I smiled, making sure my dimples were showing. "Hi, how can I help you?"
"Hi, I can't make up my mind about these books. They're all bestsellers, but I could only buy one for now. Which do you think should I choose?" She must be in her late 30s. She was wearing eyeglasses, skinny jeans, a printed green top, and her hair was in a high bun, kind of like a ballerina's hair. She handed me the books. They were The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, and Verity by Colleen Hoover.
"The Silent Patient is a crime mystery and psychological thriller and it's the author's debut novel. I loved it. You'll be shocked at how it ends. The setting is mostly in the hospital, or an asylum if I can remember it correctly. Basically, a painter's husband dies and everybody thinks his wife did it. His wife stops speaking after the incident, and that's the mystery that has to be uncovered. Verity has the same genre, it's also a psychological thriller. Except, this one has explicit or erotic contents. It's about a writer who signed a contract to continue writing a book series for Verity, an author who got disabled from a car accident. But then the writer discovers very disturbing things about Verity when she came across a manuscript. I think amongst these three books, this one is the most gripping. I really did not put it down until I finished it. Also, for me, it's the best Colleen Hoover book because it's different from her other novels. Now, this one…" I was referring to Little Fires Everywhere. "Is awesome because it's about two family in Shaker Heights who were brought together by their children. There's a lot of family drama and teenage issues here, so if you're more into this kind of theme, you should pick this. It's all about motherhood and the crazy things mothers and children do. It's also a Reese's Book Club pick, and it was turned into a mini drama series in Hulu."
"Wow, you've read them all! And they all seem really, really good! I don't think you've helped me decide on which one to buy though."
"Oh. Sorry."
"Which is why I am buying them all!"
"Wow, that's great!" I said with much enthusiasm.
A teenager who looks exactly like her except way much younger, also bought one Teen Vogue magazine. They're probably mother and daughter. After paying, they stopped by the door to wave goodbye, and I responded by waiving goodbye, too. But then my heart stopped as my eyes grew wide from the shock of seeing the next customer who came in. It was a woman. My ex-woman. The woman who made me a man. And she smiled at me as if she hadn't been gone at all. The nerve of this beautiful sexy woman…

Unbeknownst to humans, there are two worlds: The Real World, and the Underworld called the Purple Sea. Uriel, a self-proclaimed book addict was just reading by the fountain, unaware of how late it was. It was April 27. At exactly 11:27pm, a full moon occurred and the water at the fountain turned purple, a sign that the portal to the Purple Sea has been opened. It swallowed him down, way down into the Underworld. When he came back to the Real World, he was different. He had Aquakinesis, the power to manipulate water. But not only that, he also became King of the Purple Sea.

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

March 23rd, Wednesday… 
Thriller Hostel's construction was in full swing. 
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were there at the site. Apart from supervising the construction each day, they also gathered material from horror novels, videos, and films and brainstormed about how to make the various projects in Thriller Hostel better. 
They had various subordinates in charge of various work in the haunted house, but there weren't many of them to begin with. When the haunted house was almost done, they planned to recruit a large group of employees to sell tickets, act, and maintain cleanliness. 
However, all three projects of the haunted house would probably only be completed in at least three more months. 
Just like before, Chen Kangtuo stared at the design diagram on his computer screen and seriously considered various details. All of a sudden, his cell phone vibrated. It was a message. 
Chen Kangtuo jumped and then gestured for Hao Qiong to come over. 
"Quick, be prepared! Boss Pei is coming!" 
Hao Qiong had been engrossed in something on his cell phone. It was the latest horror novel on Zhongdian Chinese Network, which had achieved pretty good results. 
However, upon hearing Chen Kangtuo's words, he quickly asked, "When?" 
Chen Kangtuo was already on his feet, organizing various documents. "He'll be here in ten minutes!" 
Both of them quickly cleaned up all the trash lying around. 
They were in a temporary office set up in the corner of the factory, which had been done up strictly according to the Tengda spirit. There were large office desks, a sofa, and a refrigerator. All in all, the office environment was very cozy. 
However, it was also usually messy at the same time. 
There were random items like empty soda bottles, horror novels, and horror concept art scattered across the sofa and office desk. Chen Kangtuo feared that it would leave a bad impression in Boss Pei's mind if he saw the scene. 
Thus, both of them quickly packed up the entire office and restored it to its original clean state. 
Not long after they were done, Boss Pei arrived. With a folder in hand, Chen Kangtuo welcomed him. "Hello, Boss Pei! Please, come in!" 
The folder contained information on Thriller Hostel's various projects including floor plans, design details for each project, renderings, sources of inspiration, project costs, contracts signed with various partners, and the like. 
Chen Kangtuo was sure that Boss Pei had come to ask about Thriller Hostel's progress and several other details. Thus, he prepared as much as he could in the limited time.
Although he knew many things by heart, he could not go wrong with having the documents ready for Boss Pei's inspection at any time. 
Chen Kangtuo invited Boss Pei to sit on the sofa and then prepared himself to report Thriller Hostel's progress. 
"Boss Pei, let me update you on the construction of Thriller Hostel first," said Chen Kangtuo once Hao Qiong had served Boss Pei a cup of tea. 
Boss Pei took the cup of tea and sipped it. After hearing Chen Kangtuo's words, he shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. I have something important for you."
Chen Kangtuo could not help but feel nervous when he saw Boss Pei's somber expression. 
What important thing did Boss Pei want to tell them about? Judging by Boss Pei's somber expression, the task was probably extremely complicated and difficult! 
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong dared not ask any questions. Instead, they listened intently. 
Pei Qian sipped his tea again and asked, "Based on how things have been going, how long more would the haunted house take?"
Chen Kangtuo answered, "At best, it would be three months. If everything goes according to our original plan, it would take four months." 
Pei Qian nodded. Four months was acceptable. 
"I'll give you another forty million yuan. I want to spend it all on Thriller Hostel. If you foresee any difficulties, let me know now."
Chen Kangtuo waited for a moment and then realized that Boss Pei was done speaking. It was then that he asked, "Er… Boss Pei, is there anything else?" 
Pei Qian answered, "There's nothing else."
Chen Kangtuo: "…the important thing you were talking about was spending money?" 
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right." 
Confusion was written all over Chen Kangtuo's face. However, a few seconds later, a realization dawned on him. "Oh! I understand now! Boss Pei, is this forty million yuan meant for building the surrounding facilities? I've thought about it!" 
Chen Kangtuo had thought that the previous budget had been sufficient to construct all of Thriller Hostel, but there would not be a single surrounding facility! 
There would be no shops, no hotels, and no restaurants. People would not be able to eat, shop, or find a place to stay. Transport was even worse. Trains aside, even public buses didn't come here. 
How could the haunted house attract tourists?! Were tourists expected to drive over and stand around while waiting for their turn to enter the haunted house? 
That would be inappropriate. 
Now that Boss Pei was adding another forty million yuan to the project, they could finally start working on the surrounding facilities!
Pei Qian shook his head, speechless. "You're wrong. The forty million yuan was set aside purely for Thriller Hostel. 
"Spend it all on the projects, and don't spend a single cent on the surrounding facilities. What's more, you shouldn't delay the completion of the project. I'm going to emphasize this again: this is very important, and you have to do a good job, understand?" 
Chen Kangtuo was confused. 
Sh*t, I've guessed wrongly… 
Boss Pei was indeed Boss Pei. Nobody could guess his train of thought. 
They were supposed to spend all forty million yuan on Thriller Hostel and not delay the completion of the project. That meant they could not add any more new segments. They could only improve the details of the existing projects.
Still… this seemed very excessive! The price-quality ratio of building surrounding facilities would be much better! Could Boss Pei have deeper intentions? 
Chen Kangtuo instinctively found this a waste of the money, but he dared not ask too many questions. Instead, he decided to obediently follow Boss Pei's instructions. "Alright, Boss Pei! I'll do that!" 
Pei Qian nodded, satisfied. Then, he stood up and said, "Go ahead and go back to work. A group of people will come and survey the area soon. I'll be bringing them around. Don't bother about us at all. Even if you see anything strange, don't ask any questions, understand?"
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong nodded. "Yes!" 
Pei Qian happily left the office, boarded his car, and waited. 
Boss Li had said that he would lead a group of investors to invest in this project. He was going to survey the area today, and Pei Qian was supposed to host them. 
Pei Qian could have left the hosting to Chen Kangtuo, but he could not relax. 
What if Chen Kangtuo wasn't careful and inadvertently revealed something? Boss Li and the others might find out that Pei Qian had invested a huge sum of money into this project. Then, their desire to have a 'slice of the pie' would just intensify. 
After that, Pei Qian would have difficulty shaking them off. 
Pei Qian had made up his mind. Once Boss Li and the others arrived, he would bring them around the deserted and old industrial zones so they could see just how desolate this area was! 
It would be best if they changed their minds on the spot. 
Otherwise, Pei Qian would have to come up with something else. 
… 
Less than half an hour later, several high-end commercial cars stopped at the entrance of the old industrial zone. 
Pei Qian immediately went to warmly welcome Boss Li and the other investors. 
"Boss Pei! I'm sorry to make you wait. We weren't familiar with the surroundings, and so it took us a bit longer to get here. I'm really sorry about that." 
Li Shi alighted from his car and expressed his sincere apologies to Pei Qian first. 
The other investors alighted one by one and greeted Boss Pei as well. Some drove here on their own while others were chauffeured here. However, all the chauffeurs remained in their cars and did not follow the group. 
Obviously, Boss Li had not been giving excuses. He had been stating facts. Of course, everyone would be unfamiliar with the surroundings here! 
Two investors frowned the moment they alighted from their cars. This was more deserted than they had expected. 
Everyone had heard about Jingzhou's old industrial zones, but none of them had actually visited this place. Since there had not been any business to be done here, there had simply been no point. 
Now that they were here, they were extremely disappointed. The situation was much worse than they had imagined! 
Li Shi had indeed said that Boss Pei was building a haunted house in a deserted and desolate industrial zone. At the time, they had thought that Boss Li was exaggerating. Now, they knew that he was not! 
Saying that this place was deserted and desolate was an understatement! All in all, everyone was crestfallen. What's more, it showed on their faces. 
Pei Qian noticed this and celebrated inwardly. 
That's great! That's the expression I was hoping for! I already told you that this is a deserted place, and it won't succeed, but none of you believed me! Do you believe me now? 
Of course, only two people looked obviously displeased. Pei Qian knew he had to work harder. 
He would lead the group of investors around the old industrial zone, so that they could properly survey the environment and situation. Then, they would know that only the entrance could be described as 'quite desolate and deserted'. 
The further they got, the worse the situation would become! 
I've told you the truth, but you refused to back off. Now, I'll show you the truth, and see if you would finally learn your lesson. 
"Come with me, everyone. I'll briefly show you the state of the old industrial zone and how Thriller Hostel looks like now." 
With that, Pei Qian led the group of investors further into the industrial zone. 
… 
Thirty minutes later, everyone walked out from the deepest corners of the industrial zone and then stopped outside one of the factory buildings that was being renovated for Thriller Hostel. 
Two slightly older investors were already panting from all the walking. Li Shi, too, rubbed his legs as beads of sweat dripped down his face. 
Pei Qian was only twenty years old. This little bit of walking was nothing to him. However, this group of investors had obviously lived a pampered life. Half an hour of walking around had caused them to feel weak. 
Even then, Pei Qian was surprised that all of them could keep up and that none of them had given up and left in anger.
Still, everyone did not look very happy. 
After walking around the industrial zone, they realized that they had been imagining things when they had thought the industrial zone was deserted and desolate earlier. Having seen the inner parts of the industrial zone, they finally understood how deserted and desolate the place really was! 
The entrance was deserted, but at least the floor was clean. As they walked further in, they discovered piles of rubbish, vandalism on the walls, and patches of tall weeds. All of those things pointed to one single fact. 
The deserted entrance was the most presentable part of the entire industrial zone.
Pei Qian smiled, feeling like he had accomplished half of his goal. He only needed to show everyone how bad the industrial zone really looked so they could imagine what would become of their money if they invested in this project.
Pei Qian was sure that some of them would change their minds on the spot! 
He cleared his throat. "Everyone, let me emphasize this again. This investment will cause you loss."
He tried to look as sincere and genuine as possible. He could tell that two or three investors would back out soon. 
They had been interested in investing because they had seen how successful Boss Pei's previous projects were. However, after seeing the industrial zone's true state, they suddenly realized that Boss Pei's previous achievements were meaningless, no matter how impressive they were. 
Making this place popular would be as difficult as turning stone into gold! 
Still, everyone was too embarrassed to say that they were not interested in investing in the project anymore. Instead, they looked at one another, waiting for someone to speak up. 
Pei Qian was not in a hurry; he waited patiently. He was sure that someone would speak up after weighing the amount of money they had. 
However, Li Shi seemed to have caught on. He decisively took a step forward, and then scanned the group. "What's the matter? We talked about this before. Is someone really going to back out?!"
His voice sounded firm and determined. 
Pei Qian, "…?" 
He looked at Li Shi, evidently confused. 
Li Shi gave Pei Qian a firm nod and then turned back to the other investors. "That's silly! Boss Pei was testing how determined you are! 
"Before this, all of you were saying that you wouldn't invest in any other project but Boss Pei's. Now, after walking a little and seeing superficial things, you've changed your mind? You're so easily swayed!
"Just think about the investors who didn't trust Boss Pei when we invested in 'Top Student, Come Quick' back then. What has happened to them?! 
"Do you want to part ways with a promising project, just like them?"
On hearing Li Shi's words, those who had looked like they wanted to back out earlier became determined once again. They exchanged meaningful looks and fell into deep thought. 
Then, Li Shi turned to Pei Qian and grinned. It was almost as if he was saying, "Don't worry, nobody will back out with me around!" 
Pei Qian, "…" 
He was exhausted.
