prosperity among all these constituents and balance the returns to all key stakeholders. -
· Integrated marketing = the marketer devises marketing activities and assembles marketing programs to create, communicate, and deliver value for consumers.
· Internal marketing = the task of hiring, training and motivating able employees who want to serve customers well. Marketing activities within the company can be as important than those directed outside the company.
· Performance marketing = understanding the financial and nonfinancial returns to business and society from marketing activities and programs. Top marketers are increasingly going beyond sales revenue to examine the marketing scorecard and interpret what is happening to market share, customer loss rate, customer satisfaction, product quality, and other measures.
Updating the four Ps
Various marketing activities can be classified into marketing-mix tools of 4 broad kinds:
1. People = employees are critical to marketing success. It also reflects the fact that marketers must view consumers as people to understand their lives more broadly, and not just as shoppers.
2. Processes = all the creativity, discipline, and structure brought to marketing management.
3. Programs = all the firm's consumer-directed activities.
4. Promotion = to capture the range of possible outcome measures that have financial and nonfinancial implications and implications beyond the company itself.
Chapter 2 – Developing marketing strategies and plans
Marketing and customer value
A company can win only by fine-tuning the value delivery process and choosing, providing, and communicating superior value to increasingly well-informed buyers. We can divide the value creation and delivery sequence into 3 phases:
1. Choosing the value
Marketers must segment the market, select the appropriate target, and develop the offering's value positioning.
2. Providing the value
Marketing must identify specific product features, prices and distribution.
3. Communicating the value
Utilizing the internet, advertising, sales force and other communication tools to announce and promote the product.
Porter's value chain is a tool for identifying ways to create more customer value. Every firm is a synthesis of activities performed to design, produce, market, deliver and support its product.
· Primary activities = inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing, and service.
· Support activities = procurement, technology development, human resource management and firm infrastructure. The firm's task is to examine its cost and performance in each value-creating activity, benchmarking against competitors, and look for ways to improve. The firm's success also depends on how well the company coordinates departmental activities to conduct core business processes:
· Market-sensing process = gathering and acting upon info about the market.
· New-offering realization process = researching/developing/launching new high quality offerings quickly and within budget.
· Customer acquisition process = defining target groups and prospecting for new customers.
· Customer relationship management process = building deeper understanding/relationships with individual customers.
· Fulfillment management process = receiving/approving orders, shipping goods on time, and collecting payment.
Companies today outsource less-critical resources if they can obtain better quality at lower cost. The key is to own and nurture the resources and competencies that make up the essence of the business. A core competency has 3 characteristics:
1. It's a source of competitive advantage and makes a contribution to perceived customer benefits.
2. It has applications within a wide variety of markets.
3. It's difficult for competitors to imitate.
Business may need to realign themselves to maximize core competencies. This has 3 steps:
1. (Re)defining the business concept.
2. (Re)shaping the business scope.
3. (Re)positioning the company's brand identity.
To ensure marketers execute the right activities, they must prioritize strategic planning in 3 key areas:
1. managing the business as an investment portfolio.
2. Assessing the market's growth rate and the company's position in the market.
3. Establishing a strategy.
The marketing plan is the central instrument for directing/coordinating the marketing efforts. It operates at 2 levels:
1. Strategic marketing plan = lays out the target markets and the firm's value proposition, based on an analysis of the best marketing opportunities.
2. Tactical marketing plan = specifies the marketing tactics, incl. products features, promotion etc.
Corporate and division strategic planning
Corporate headquarters undertake 4 planning activities:
1. Defining the corporate mission
A company should address the questions: What is our business? Who is the customer? What is the value of the customer? What will our business be? What should our business be?
· Market definitions of a business describe the business as a customer-satisfying process.
· Target market definition tends to focus on selling a product/service to a current market.
· Strategic market definition focuses on the potential market.
A clear, thoughtful mission statement developed collaboratively with and shared managers, employees and often customers, provide a shared sense of purpose, direction and opportunity. Characteristics of a good mission statement:
· Focus on limited number of goals.
· Stress the company's major policies and values.
· Define the major competitive spheres within which company will operate.
· Long-term view.
· Short, memorable, and meaningful as possible.
2. Establishing strategic business units
The purpose of identifying the SBU's is to develop separate strategies and assign appropriate funding. SBU's have 3 characteristics:
· Single business, or collection of related businesses that can be planned separately from the rest of the company.
· It has its own set of competitors.
· It has a manager responsible for strategic planning and profit performance, who controls most of the factors affecting profit.
3. Assigning resources to each strategic business unit
GE/McKinsey Matrix: management could decide to grow, harvest or draw cash from, or hold on to the business.
4. Assessing growth opportunities
Includes planning new businesses, downsizing, and terminating older businesses. If there's a gap between future desired sales and projected sales, corporate management will need to develop or acquire new businesses to fill it. Different options:
· Intensive growth = identify opportunities for growth within the current business
o Market penetration strategy = consider whether it could gain more market share with its current products in current markets.
o Market-development strategy = consider whether it can find/develop new markets for its current products.
o Product-development strategy = consider whether it can develop new products for its current market.

For the following days, ever since Sir System told everyone who came by that Fang Ning had passed away, he finally had his rare peace and quiet once again…
On this day, he was holed up in System Space, half lying on the sofa as he held on to his precious Heavenly Book, carrying out various system management work. 
From the beginning to the end, he devoured it with delight. Every page represented a fresh perspective on life, a take on society itself. 
When he flipped open the "Task Module Management" page, he was attracted by a certain someone's task module record. 
"Name: Zhang Aizi."
"Age: 37."
"Sex: Male."
"Task Acceptance Time: Fourth year, fifth month and the twelfth day of Shenyuan." 
Fang Ning went through the file content, the entire mission was recorded in detail description, and everything was written in the task recipient's point of view. 
"I got into a huge fight again today, if it was the old me, I'm afraid she might've beaten me, but thank goodness I had that Biological Management Chip, at least I don't have to worry about her beating me when we quarrel. How embarrassing…" 
"I've been hearing this weird noise around, but I'm not entirely sure if it's coming from the Biological Management Chip."
"Your qualities of kindness, justice, and love are detected. You are qualified to join the Alliance of Justice and Order's platform; would you like to accept this offer?"
"Kindness, justice, and love, do I really have those traits? I don't even know it myself. I guess always being beaten up proves that I'm kind, it's kind of a sad joke." 
"Alright, there's no loss in accepting anyway. If I refuse, there's really nothing interesting going on in my life anymore." 
"You have joined the Alliance of Justice and Order's platform. Your existing points platform: 0 Justice Points. Your mission will be announced shortly."
"Cultivate the auxiliary Mind Easing Ability. When the heart is clear it'll naturally be at peace, and when the heart is at peace, the Heavens and Earth opens up, and Morality shall emerge…" 
"Main point of cultivation: clear all distractions. Life happens in just an instant, and it should only bloom with brilliance so that your life won't be in vain." 
"This is hurting my head, I don't catch the point." 
"A spell that costs three Dan units and allows me to enjoy the platform's demonstration service? Alright, seems like it's the same trick." 
"I don't have any spells now though. There's no shortcuts for the Egg-egg Technique, so does it mean I have to spend money to buy it? I don't have much money left though." 
"Forget it, I'll just endure it and buy it this once. Eh, the effect's really good. This Mind Easing Ability doesn't seem too hard too huh?" 
"I get it now, in the vast universe, so what if there are fights, and so what if I get beaten up? Everything's just dust…" 
"Uh, the Egg-egg Technique that I've been stuck at for about a year seems to be loose now." 
"That's good, I can be sure now. According to online research, I've already cultivated my Egg-egg Technique to the 75th step, so now I still have 25 steps before I officially become a beginner." 
"I'll continue working hard then. It's the 15th day of joining the Justice and Order Alliance platform and I see hope already." 
"I've completed my first task; I've finished cultivating the Mind Easing Ability!" 
"I feel like a whole new person. Sigh, I used to be really stupid. I shouldn't always take things so hard, there's so much more to life…" 
"Now that you've learned the Mind Easing Ability and your character has greatly enhanced, the Justice and Order Alliance platform extends its communication channels to you. Please note: exchange of friendly comments is the starting point of all communication, a man must be kind, and one's heart must be filled with love and justice so that one can journey further." 
"Ugh, why do I feel that I've fallen into a bigger pit…"
"There's a newcomer, let Big Sis touch your head…" 
"Hehe, welcome, welcome." 
"When the newcomer posts a full photo, one shall receive a red packet that's worth at least 100 Dan unit to start off." 
"Doesn't all communication start with friendliness?" 
…
"That's really not too bad. This Justice and Order Alliance exchange platform has unknowingly expanded to the scale of over ten million people," Fang Ning said in a pleased tone after going through the reports from his precious Heavenly Book. 
"The progress speed is a bit slow, after all, there are still not enough good guys," Sir System said resentfully. 
"There's nothing we can do, it's all about the survival of the fittest. As the moral degeneration of the world gets worse day by day, it's only natural that bad money drives out the good. Let's just take this slowly now. As long as we hold on to our base principle of good karma comes to those who do good, we'll manage to turn the situation around. After all, you're a heroic system." Fang Ning comforted. 
"That's true, as long as I'm here, they can't get any worse because I've already sent those terrible ones back to samsara," Sir System said proudly. 
As the human and system continued their conversation, the beloved Heavenly Book suddenly spoke. 
"Master, Ren Ruofeng sent a message just now saying the first Heavenly Edict institute of the Land of Heritage will be holding their opening ceremony in three days and they've sent us an invitation to attend it. Here is the relevant information." 
With that, rows of handwriting appeared on the pages of his beloved Heavenly Book. 
After humans left Earth, the original internet service and communication facilities have stopped working, so naturally, cellphones did not function properly anymore. 
In order to get in touch with people in the Land of Heritage, the Justice and Order Alliance connected to the Nets Above Snares Below, so as the alliance's management center, the precious Heavenly Book was naturally a communication channel itself. 
"A Heavenly Edict institute? It sounds like a good thing, at least it's one more channel for all civilians to cultivate." After going through all the information, Fang Ning decided that there were no problems. 
At least from the various public systems and regulations, it was an organization established to serve the people and was solely based on cultivation. 
There were many strong forces behind supporting, including the Dualist Society that Black Dog had always been monitoring. It seems that they have taken the responsibility of acting as the main faculty. 
Fang Ning knew that the internal Truth Department had long dedicated institutions to train cultivators. He once attended one of the classes, but ever since Sir System started progressing quickly to the point that it had surpassed the others, they stopped. 
For most people, relying on a familiar classroom teaching module indeed made things easier. At least it guaranteed a certain mandatory sort of learning environment, where most people were still lacking self-discipline. Even if they knew that only cultivators could possess a higher status in the future world of cultivation, there were still plenty who just muddled along however they could. 
This was the same as the money era in the past, where although everyone knew that it was good to have more money, those who would put more effort into earning money were still minimum. On the other hand, they were brainwashed by various public marketing numbers and ended up paying a large amount of IQ tax.
"Alright then Mr. Rich Boss, are you going to go? I've informed a lot of people you've already passed away so…" Sir System gloated. 
"Well, so what? I'll just transform into a dragon for public appearances in the future. I don't want this body anymore," Fang Ning said as he remained unbothered. 
"Oh, I've forgotten, your face is now thicker than mine," Sir System said bitterly. 
"Thank you for the kind compliment," Fang Ning replied proudly. 
Three days later, at the Land of Heritage, in Building No.999. 
"Today, we are honored to invite the Dragon God of War, the one who defeated the Spirit Lords, the true embodiment of kindness, the guardian of love and justice, the shining beacon to the world… The Venerable Dragon God, who is present today to attend the Heavenly Edict Institute's opening ceremony!" 
The host stood on the rooftop of the building as he made the announcement loudly to the entire arcane realm.
"Eh, Sir, what kind of dragon wail is this? Come on, what noise is this?" Fang Ning whispered as he controlled the Azure Dragon's body. 
"How can you not know this. You should've seen this at least eighty times, haven't you?" Sir System scorned. 
"Sorry, I really can't learn your type of beast noises." Fang Ning responded angrily.
"Ugh, you're asking me for help, yet here you are indirectly insulting me," Sir System said hatefully. 
"Stop talking nonsense and give me a roar." Fang Ning urged. 
The next moment, a long dragon roar that sounded almost everlasting rang through the entire arcane realm, proclaiming the arrival of the dragon god. 
It was then followed by Fang Ning controlling the Azure Dragon's thousand feet long body that was once hidden in the clouds, which now appeared above the rooftop.
The mysteriousness, the sense of ritual, was a ten over ten, which made Fang Ning exceptionally satisfied. 
He had already pretended to be someone else, and he even acted as an emperor for a summoning ritual, so it was only time for him to act as a dragon. 
At the rooftop, countless people awaited with their heads held high, and when they finally set eyes on the majestic behemoth, their hearts were filled with awe and respect. 
At the same time, a boost of confidence towards the establishment of the institution arose naturally. 
With such a powerhouse as endorsement, who would be afraid that they would not learn anything in the future?


Procrastinator extraordinaire, Fang Ning, had lost his consciousness after banging his head on a night of celebration. He woke up to a realization that he no longer had control of his body, as a System had taken it over. Will he eventually regain control of his body or will he be trapped in his body forever? How does he maneuver this situation? What's in store for Fang Ning?

Gu Yanqing didn't say anything.

However, Xiao Peishan suddenly lost his temper. "Forget it, forget it. Just move everyone out. Now that AH Cheng isn't coming back, all of you will have to move out as well. All of you have hardened your wings. Alright, get lost. All of you, get lost. "

The atmosphere was very stiff. Xiao Wei could be heard snorting coldly. "Why can't the Xiao Family keep anyone? Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? "

Xiao Peishan looked at Xiao Wei. "Are you going to anger me to death too? "

Xiao Wei smiled. "If father likes to be lively, then find another son-in-law. Mian Jun has also reached the age to discuss marriage. "

Song Beibei's heart moved.

Why did Xiao Wei suddenly mention this.

Sure enough, even Mu Lan's face revealed a wary expression. "You don't have to worry about my daughter's marriage. "

Xiao Wei said, "of course I'm not anxious. "

She had a meaning, but she didn't mention it again.

Xiao Peishan succeeded in diverting his attention.

Xiao Mianjun's marriage had always been a worry in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he said to Xiao Mianjun, "Mianjun, it's time for you to consider your marriage. "

Xiao Mianjun put down her bowl and chopsticks. "I'm not interested in marriage or men. Just treat it as if I like women. "

Xiao Peishan's voice sank. "What are you talking about? "

Mu Lan said, "don't worry about Mianjun. Leave it to me. Xiao Cheng, on the other hand, is not young anymore. He hasn't had a girlfriend up until today. "

Mu Lan casually changed the topic to He Yucheng.

Xiao Wei's expression changed as well.

Mu Lan seemed to have thought of something. "Peishan, I heard that girl Jingjing recently returned to the country. "

Xiao Peishan said, "you mean Zijun's goddaughter. "

When Xiao Peishan said this, Xiao Wei clearly frowned.

Mu Lan deliberately looked at Xiao Wei and said, "that's right. It's that girl. That girl has been abroad for four years. She will graduate this year. If I remember correctly, that girl is only 20 years old today. She's a perfect match for AH Sheng. Jingjing was a beauty when she was young. Moreover, she studied art. There's nothing to say about her temperament. "

Xiao Wei could not help but ask, "who are you talking about? "

Mu Lan said, "Oh right, Wu Zijun must not have told you. Although he is not married, fifteen years ago, he adopted a goddaughter. "

"goddaughter? "

Xiao Peishan said, "Zijun had a car accident fifteen years ago. At that time, a car lost control of its brakes and directly hit him. His injuries were not serious, but the couple in the car died. At that time, there was a five-year-old child in the car who was tightly protected by the child's mother. He was injured, but it was not serious. Later, Zijun adopted the child and did not change his surname. The girl's name is Bai Jingjing and she has been abroad. "

Mu Lan frowned.

Mu Lan, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood. "that girl is really not bad. When she comes back, I think we should let her and Zijun come over for dinner and get to know Ah Cheng. In this era, if word of an arranged marriage spread, it would definitely be a joke. We just want to introduce them to each other. Maybe the two children will like each other "Don't you think so? If Jingjing Marries Ah Cheng, you and Zijun will become a family by accident. In the past, you almost married him. This can be considered as making up for your past regrets, right? "

Xiao Wei's face instantly turned pale.

Xiao Peishan was also displeased. "What's the point of bringing up old matters? "

Xiao Wei, however, did not say anything.

Song Beibei did not say anything throughout the night.

She felt that the atmosphere at the table was getting more and more tense.

For some reason, even Song Beibei could feel it.

Every time Mu Lan appeared in front of Xiao Wei, she would always mention Wu Zijun openly and secretly.

She was not very clear about the grudges and grudges of the previous generation.

However, Song Beibei felt that it was definitely a complicated and complicated story.

Wu Zijun seemed to be Xiao Wei's Achilles'heel.

Mu Lan would brazenly poke Xiao Wei every time, and Xiao Wei would bring up the past even more.

It was nothing more than mu lan seducing her father back then and forcing her mother to die.

In the end, it was nothing more than Xiao Peishan's rage that ended it.

It was the same drama every day.

To be honest, even Song Beibei felt tired of it.

Therefore, when Gu Yanqing said to move out, she was grateful.

She didn't want to face Xiao Mianjun in this house, and she didn't want to have indigestion every meal.

When she returned to her room, Song Beibei began to pack her luggage.

Gu Yanqing had told her earlier that they would move out this time.

When Song Beibei was packing her luggage, Gu Yanqing had just come out of the shower.

Xin Tong was already asleep.

Gu Yanqing naturally walked to her side and leaned in to kiss her neck unhurriedly.

Song Beibei gently pushed him. Gu Yanqing deliberately teased her, "what time is it, you still don't want me to kiss you? "

He glanced at the big bed behind him, "Xin Tong is sleeping? "

Gu Yanqing reached out and ruffled Song Beibei's hair. "Are you going to the office tomorrow? "

Song Beibei thought for a moment. "I think I'd better go. I have nothing to do at home anyway. I'm just going to be a bystander. "

Gu Yanqing nodded. "Why don't I transfer you to my department? "

Song Beibei said, "forget it. That's the management department. "

Gu Yanqing said, "that's true. Your first love is still in the management department. "

Song Beibei rolled her eyes at him on purpose.

At the mention of He Yucheng, Song Beibei remembered something. "tomorrow is ah Cheng's birthday. "

Gu Yanqing remained calm. "So what? "

"There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on. "

Gu Yanqing glanced at Song Beibei and said calmly, "don't say anything that makes me jealous. I don't agree. "

Gu Yanqing was too amazing.

Song Beibei told Gu Yanqing everything she had said to Xiao Wei in the garden today.

Song Beibei said, "it's just a meal. "

Gu Yanqing was silent for a while. "When and where? Send me a message when the time comes. Also, don't exceed two hours. "

Song Beibei laughed. "bossy. "

The next day, Song Beibei went to the company.

The rose plan was implemented, and the marketing department got busy.

Wu Zijun also arranged some work for Song Beibei.

Although Song Beibei was not an expert, because of her special status, the other managers were willing to take her along and offer her help. In addition, she was quick to accept things, so it was not difficult for her to do it.

Song Beibei was responsible for a very small part of the marketing department's Research and management.

However, there were many trivial matters, so she was busy throughout the day.

Soon, it was evening.

At noon, Song Beibei sent a message to he Yucheng. "Happy Birthday. Do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to dinner. "

He Yucheng never replied.

When Song Beibei was about to get off work, she received a message from he Yucheng. "first floor, third floor, private room 349. "

Song Beibei was slightly stunned.

She didn't expect he Yucheng to book the place himself.

Song Beibei hadn't seen he yucheng for a long time.

She was very grateful to He Yucheng for what happened in Japan.

It was just that she left without saying goodbye.

So many things happened after she came back.

Song Beibei went straight to the first-class building after work.

This was a rather elegant place, not in the downtown area.

It was a small foreign house with a very classical and unique atmosphere.

When she entered, there was a sense of age.

Song Beibei followed the waiter to lead the way to the private room that he Yucheng mentioned.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[ Introduction ]

Song Beibei had said the most since she was young, "Gu Yanqing, I have a generation gap with you. "


In Song Beibei's eyes, Gu Yanqing was a shameless old man who still knew how to act like a hooligan. He relied on the fact that he was much older than her, and whenever he was unhappy, he would call him an "old man" . Every time they quarreled, he would say three sentences: DIVORCE I have a generation gap with you.

Song Beibei had long known that Gu Yanqing had a woman in his heart, so in Song Beibei's eyes, all of Gu Yanqing's kindness and gentleness were feigned The most ruthless words she had ever said were, "Gu Yanqing, you're just a dog of our song family. "

Gu Yanqing was neither angry nor angry. He said faintly, "aren't young ladies of your age the most popular loyal dog husbands? "

This man He was too shameless!

General Lei's men tracked Commissioner Tu in Tianjin. This took the military by surprise. It only meant that Rou Yanlin was nearby. Everyone else had expected him to go into hiding in a remote city, but apparently, he may just be sheltering right under their noses. 
Since last week, Rou Chunhua had not texted him even after asking about the possible hideouts of Rou Yanlin. He may have disappointed her more than he thought. 
He came to the lieutenant's office hoping to receive an update. Inside he found a girl in bob cut hairstyle seated in front of the desk. She turned to the door and their eyes met. It was Rou Chunhua. 
She immediately looked away. Directing her gaze to the lieutenant, she bid goodbye. "That's all the information my father gave me. I hope you get him… I best be on my way."
Chunhua stood up quickly and acknowledged the General's presence before heading to the door. Although she was speaking to him, her eyes only studied to the floor. 
"You look different," said General Lei. 
She had no choice but to look up and answer, "I got rid of the signs of captivity."
She smiled and took off after meeting his gaze and as she sped through the corridors, the General stepped outside the office not bothering to look away. 'She is avoiding me,' he finally realized.
After meeting the General, the first thing that Rou Chunhua did on her return to Tianjin was to book an entire day treatment at the spa. She had her hair cut, her body scrubbed and her nails done. The next day, she went on a shopping spree. Since a portion of the Rous' funds was given back to them, their family finally had some cash to burn. 
She wanted to start applying for a job but her father told her not to. Especially since the forex trading company, which was previously single-handedly managed by Rou Yanlin, will now be transferred to her father's name. She needed to help him, either in the business or by taking care of her mom. Since she had no idea how to handle a business, she decided on the latter. 
She studied Hotel and Restaurant Management and was particularly good at making cakes and pastries. She figured she could start by selling home-baked products while her mother is still recuperating. Eventually, she plans to open a shop of her own. 
Outside the military camp, Chunhua hailed for a taxi as she was in a hurry to meet up with some friends back in college. After being kissed by the General, she reconnected with her classmates hoping it would cover up her growing feelings towards him. 
Arriving at a local pub, she got off the taxi and went inside where her supposed college friends would meet her. 
Just ten meters away, a soldier in civilian clothes arrived in a motorbike and reported to his superior. "General, she went inside a pub in the center of 24th street. Should I go and follow her inside?"
"Yes. Follow her inside."
"General, what made you think the Rou Yanlin maybe after her?"
"Just a hunch. Don't question my decision and report to me her every move, who she meets and what she does."
"Apologies, General and affirmative to that. I will report back with every detail."
Back in Beijing, Andrea became unsettled after learning her third island in the Maldives was losing money. So instead of joining Lu Fang in his meeting with Harold Smith, she stayed behind at the office. 
She made a few calls and also took the time to study the nearby resorts so to determine where they were falling short, but she soon learned that they too were incredibly low in occupancy in the past three months. 
The Chaalu Maldives was located further out from the capital city that it could not be reached by seaplane. Guests would need to take a domestic flight and then a speedboat to reach the resort. This added to the difficulty in bringing in visitors. 
After coming up with her own strategies she asked for the General Manager and Marketing Directors of Chaalu Maldives to join her in a videoconference. 
"Muja," she addressed the Marketing Director, "May I remind you that you get paid to come up with marketing ideas."
"Use our other islands and come up with twin-island packages then you can give the transfer cost for free. Offer repeat customers from our other islands free transfers should they visit Chaalu on their next holiday."
"Lastly, Suresh, being the General Manager, please conduct a proper analysis on which market should we focus on.  My current data suggests that China has become a big market for the Maldives and while I am based in China, I might as well take the lead on this. However, I need you to make a comparison with the other resorts."
When Andrea finally finished their meeting, she went to the main conference room to join her husband and found them completely absorbed in a light conversation of boxing. 
"Lu Fang, you should come to the US and watch the next match! You would love it. It's far different from watching it on TV!"
"I'm loving the idea! It happens in a month if I'm not mistaken. I would not mind a trip to the US at the same time check on your laboratories myself."
Hearing his wife clear her throat, Lu Fang turned with a smile and called her over, "Babe, come over."
"Mr. Smith, this is Andrea. My wife," the man said as he pulled her closer to his side. 
It disappointed Harold to hear this, but his sources said otherwise. Thus, he had to clarify," How long have you been married?"
"We got married on paper just last week and we will hold the ceremony in three weeks," the man replied with enthusiasm. 
Harold was good to hide his dissatisfaction and still shook Andrea's hand. "I'm so sorry Mrs. Lu. I only bought a gift for Lu Fang. My sources did not mention he was married. Had I known, I would have brought something for you as well."
"You don't have to trouble yourself, Mr. Smith," Andrea replied and smiled back at him. 
"We just learned that we are pregnant so we are taking things fast forward," explained Lu Fang. 
'This is more complicated than I thought,' Harold Smith said to himself. 'However, they got married because she got pregnant? Could that mean, they were forced into the situation?'


[COMPLETED]

"Andy, I love you so much." The man said while taking a breather after a long kiss.

Andrea closed her eyes and held his face giving him small kisses before answering. "I love you too." 

"Babe, I know I said I'd wait till we get married, but… - " 

"Shhh…" She interrupted him and teasingly bit her lip before smiling. She gave him another set of kisses before finally adding, "I never asked you to wait… I want you too…"

 ***

 "Andy, tell me about your family? What have you been up to before we met?" 

Andrea's head was leaning against his torso thinking of what to say to him. She was suddenly silent and began sorting through a pile of secrets in her head, trying to decide where to start. 

She then turned to the side and hugged him tightly. 

"Andy?" 

"Sometimes, I wonder if I am that really important to you."

 ***

BANG! BANG! 

Lu Fang closed his eyes anticipating pain to follow but as he opened his eyelids, he felt nothing.

“Andy! Andy!” 

He screamed at the top of his lungs when he realized it was Andrea and not him who received the bullets and fell off the cliff.

A few days had gone by quietly. Too quietly. At work Elle was out of her mind with boredom. A slow period had fallen on her department, right now they were in between projects and didn't have much work to do until the next one started. All the other members of her team were enjoying the calm before the storm. Elle on the other hand... 

She had enjoyed the first day of the quiet spell together with her team. The second day was somewhat boring. But now, at the end of the week, Elle was out of her mind with boredom. One day she thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of her new found spare time to work on her novel. However, after one full day of writing she grew tired and bored of that as well. It didn't help that she had been unable to meet up with Adam for most of the week. MK's busy season had just started. So, from a lack of something better to do, Elle continued to spend her free time at work typing away chapters for her book. It was the only thing that could make the time go by. Until today. 

The end of the week finally arrived and Elle had gone out for a walk during her lunch break. It was wonderful to go outside and enjoy the weather now that summer was finally upon them. It was also great to take a break from staring at the four grey walls  that entrapped her in her office, if only for a few minutes. However, to spice up her day, while she was out walking Elle received a phone call from Adam. 

"Are you on lunch already?" He asked. 

"Yup. I'm out on a walk right now." Elle replied. 

"You're that bored, huh?" Adam teased. 

"I never thought there would come a day where I would be envious of your workload. Having just a small task to help the hours go by would be nice." 

"If you still have nothing to do do you want to go out with me this afternoon?" 

"Really?" Elle asked excitedly. 

"I can make some time to go out for afternoon tea. We can go to that place around the corner from your workplace that you like." 

"Have I told you that I love you?" Elle replied dreamily. 

Adam smirked to himself when he heard her reply. "If you can find an excuse to get out of the office I'll meet you there at two." 

"Alright.  I'll see you there." 

Elle still had two hours to burn before she could leave to meet Adam but they went by much faster now that she had something to look forward to. 

Just before two Elle boldly lied and told her colleagues that she was going out for a work meeting and would be back later that afternoon. With no reason to suspect her of lying they let her sneak off without any issue. 

Elle walked over to the dessert shop near her building that she often frequented and got a quiet table near the back and waited patiently for Adam to come join her. Soon enough she heard footsteps approach her table but they weren't the quiet and confident steps that she knew so well. Instead it was the piercing click of heels against the marble floors that stalked towards her table. 

"Good afternoon Elizabeth." Amelia greeted. "Fancy meeting you here." 

"Amelia." Elle greeted back in surprise. "How nice to see you again." 

"Taking a break from work?" 

"Yes." Elle confessed with a light laugh. "Just getting a little afternoon pick-me-up." 

"I forgot, this store is really close to Tae isn't it? You see, for me this place was the closest place to my campus when I was in college so I would always come here when I craved something sweet." 

"Something sweet is nice when you're tired." Elle agreed. 

"I'm actually waiting for a few friends right now. Would it be okay if I joined you for a moment while I wait?" Amelia asked brightly. 

"Sure, why not." Elle's mouth replied before her brain could properly consider it. As she watched Amelia sit down in the chair across from her Elle hoped for the first time that Adam would be late. 

"So how is your work? Are you very busy?" Amelia asked politely. 

"Not at the moment. Marketing is in between projects right now so thing's have been quiet for a few days." 

"Marketing must be fun work at least. When I worked at my father's company I started in management but it was so dreadfully boring that I switched into design after less than a year." She said as if she were wistfully remembering her time there. 

"You working at your father's company?" Elle asked with surprise. 

"Oh yes. I went to college for business management. I worked there for a year or two after." 

"I didn't know. Why did you leave? If you don't mind my asking." Elle added quickly. She was so intrigued that she had forgotten herself. 

"That's okay." Amelia said with a light laugh. "You don't need to be so on guard with me. Besides, I can understand the curiosity. Acting is a far distance from managing your family's high end brand after all."

"So what made you switch?" 

"Can't tell." Amelia replied with a childish grin. "It's a secret." 

That only made Elle more curious. Before she could press the matter any further Amelia stood up while glancing down at her phone. 

"Sorry Elizabeth but it looks like my friend's are here now." 

"That's fine. It was fun talking to you." 

"It really was." Amelia agreed. "Hey, do you want to join my friends and I for the afternoon? We're just going to go shopping and then for dinner. It'll be fun." 

Elle blinked. "I would love to, but I still need to get back to work. Maybe another time." 

"Another time for sure. I have a feeling we're going to be good friends you and I." 

"That would be nice." Elle agreed. 

It couldn't have been a minute or two later that Adam replaced Amelia, sitting down in the seat across from Elle. 

"I'm not too late am I?" He asked. 

"No. You're right on time." 

They ordered their things but Elle was no longer as excited for sweets as she had been only a moment ago. A question was still nagging her in the back of her mind. 

"What is it?" Adam asked as he watched her poke at her slice of cake absent-mindedly. 

"I was curious about something. Do you know why Amelia became an actress?" 

"Why do you ask?" 

"I happened to meet her while I was waiting for you and she talked to me and told me a little bit of her story but she wouldn't answer that question. I got curious." 

"Well I'm afraid I can't help you either." Adam confessed. "I don't know the answer." 

"You never asked?" 

"No. Even if I had asked I suspect I would have gotten the same answer as everyone else did back then. 'It's a secret.'" 

"Some friend you are." Elle grumbled playfully. "Do you know anything about her at all?" 

"Of course I do. Just nothing useful. I met her during my college days. We only met to study and during a few classes we took together. My mother probably knows her better than I do at this point." 

"I'm jealous. I wish I got to take classes with you. It must have been nice." 

"I was really studious back then. If you knew me you probably wouldn't have liked me very much." 

"Oh yea, cause you're so loose and fun now." Elle teased. 

"I'm skipping work to have tea with you.  A year ago this would be unheard of." 

"You're right." Elle said gently. "Thank you." 

"No, I should thank you. Relaxing like this is something I only got to experience after meeting you. You're fun enough for the both of us." 

"Be careful with your words Mr. Hayes. If you make me this happy I might not let you go back to work for the rest of the day." Elle continued to tease playfully. If she had known then what their immediate future was going to look like she might have actually gone through with her empty threat.

Elle is a young woman who's hard work was rewarded with heart ache. Now she has no passion for anything except her writing. Under a pen name she pours all her heart ache into her story - an exceedingly popular webnovel. Meanwhile, Adam is the CEO of MK, a powerful company at the top of its industry. He is a man that can do anything perfectly and is known to be cold and unforgiving. 

By chance the two cross paths and touch each others hearts in unexpected ways.

Excerpt: 
Since it was a cold night the glass had fogged up, but Elle could still make out the muddled view of the city below them. The streetlights glowed dimly and cars could be seen driving back and forth in the busy streets. Elle's delicate fingers reached out to touch the cold glass, drawing a smiley face in the condensation.

"Are you upset we couldn't go out?" Adam asked suddenly. Elle turned around to see him looking over at her. "You must have been looking forward to it. I think your favourite place in the world has become that park."

Elle stepped away from the glass and went over to sit beside him; lacing her arm through his and resting her head on his strong shoulder. "You're wrong." She said gently. "My favourite place in all the world is next to you."

"Hold on, what are you talking about? Altered how?"

She moved over to the loveseat and I sat next to her. She started going over certain things in the paperwork that didn't add up to her, and it actually all made sense. I don't know how I didn't see it earlier.

"How did you even pick these things out in a matter of minutes?"

I was genuinely curious at this point.

"I've learned about more than just marketing management, to say the least. I've grown up with family members in all sorts of occupations. You probably didn't notice anything off before because you were surprised at the initial result it had shown."

I looked at her with complete and utter amazement, and she just flashed that adorable smile of hers.

"It would explain the sudden interest in getting you involved. She has virtually nothing, and you have, well... everything. A stable job, an amazing home, and plenty of money. She makes you think he's your son, and in turn, she gets a payout from you. As well as probably pawning him off on you."

"Well in that case, I'll get someone to see about these results as soon as possible. But in the meantime, we'll just play along with the little scheme of hers. I should have known she was up to no good the moment she stepped into my office."

She gave another smile and placed a hand on my thigh. She drives me absolutely crazy, everything about this woman was perfect. And what she did now just added onto the madness for her.

I couldn't help it, I grabbed her in my arms and pulled her into a kiss. I slid my tounge over her bottom lip and she parted them in acceptance. Our tounges danced around in eachothers mouths, and I could feel myself already getting hard.

I don't what it is about her that turns me on so much, but I love it either way. I wanted so badly to pick up where we left off, but I knew this meeting needed to be taken care of. I reluctantly pulled away.

"What was that for?" She asked with a smile.

"I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me. You amaze me more and more each day, and I'm thankful to have you. I love you, Kätzchen."

                              ~~~~~

There it was again. "I love you." That's the second time he's said that now, and I still honestly have no idea how to react or respond to that. I guess I'm still trying to figure all of this stuff out for myself... I mean it's not like I can base my feelings off of other relationships, because I've never been in a actual one before.

I hated not responding to that, or saying it back. But I can't... not now at least.

"I guess we should head out to that meeting then.." I said as I looked away from his piercing gaze.

He was silent a moment before getting up.

"Lets head out then."

He grabbed my hand and pulled me up, interlocking our fingers as we headed for the door.

                              ~~~~~

I lounged on the loveseat in my office, finally getting a little rest in from the nonstop meetings this week.

Knock knock.

I opened my eyes but said nothing. Hoping whoever it was would go away.

Knock knock knock.

"Roman, I know you're in there."

What could she possibly want now? More money? I didn't want to let her in, but I knew she wouldn't leave on her own. I stood up, making my way to the door, and reluctantly opened it.

"Airi, what is it you want now? Now isn't-"

I abruptly stopped, as I was quietly interrupted by a small voice.

"Mommy, why are we here? Who's this man?"

I looked down to see a small child standing beside Airi, holding her hand. It was like my mind and body were stuck... looking down at the innocent look he was giving me.

"Don't stare hun, it's not polite. This here is Roman, and this is his work place. You'll be seeing a lot more of him soon, so I wanted to introduce you. Go on, say hello."

He let go of her hand and stepped a little closer to me, looking up once again.

"Hello Mr. Roman. My names Koda."

"Hello... Airi, can I talk with you a moment. Alone."

She looked at me, then Koda.

"Here sweety, take your bag and go over and check out the books okay?"

A huge smile plastered over his face as she said that, and he took off towards the wall of books.

I moved to my desk and sat down, she took a seat across from me.

"He really likes books, doesn't he?"

"He loves them. He chooses books over toys any day. He gets that from you, you know."

I looked back towards him and sighed. He sat in the corner of the room with a book in his lap. He's only three, how is he so interested in books? Can he even read them?

I looked back towards Airi, who was smiling at me.

"What are you doing here with him Airi?"

"What do you mean?"

She looked at him then back at me, lowering her voice a little.

"He's your son Roman, I thought you'd want to at least see him."

"I'd like to know before you just decide to bring him here. Don't you think you're taking this a little fast? Have you told him already?"

She sat back in her seat and crossed her legs.

"Not yet. I wanted you two to meet first, see what he thinks about you. He's very skeptical of new people."

"Airi, you can't just keep showing up here whenever you feel like it, this is-"

Just then my phone rang. It was Kätzchen. I instantly stopped what I was saying to answer.

"Hello Kätzchen. What is it?"

Shit. I almost forgot about the dinner we had planned for tonight. I'm going to be late...

"No no, I'm on my way now. Something came up.. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"No, everything's fine. Just an unexpected visitor... yes, I know. I didn't know either. I'll let you go now, I'm heading out. I'll see you soon Kätzchen."

I hung up the phone and Airi just gave me an odd look. She obviously wasn't thrilled about this, she probably already knew who was on the other line.

"So that's it, you're just going to leave? We just got here Roman."

I walked over to her, pulled her up out of the chair, and towards the door. She called Koda over, who seemed to not want to let the book go.

"What do you expect Airi? You show up unexpectedly with a child I've never met before, and expect me to drop everything I'm doing to please your needs. I have a life, I have things planned, and I'm not just throwing them aside for you."

Next thing I know, I feel a small hand tugging at my pants. I look down to see Koda at my side, clutching the book to his chest.

"Mr. Roman, could I borrow this book from you please? I really like it."

I just stated down at him for a moment, then keeled down to face him. I may want nothing to do with his mother, but he did seem like a sweet kid. Whether he's mine or not.

"Of course you can. Keep it as long as you like okay?"

With that he exploded with excitement. Jumping up and down, tugging on Airi's dress.

"Mommy, did you hear that? He said I can keep it as long as I want to! When can we come back to see Mr. Roman? I like him, he let's me borrow books."

She looked down at him and sighed.

"I don't know sweetie. We'll have to see later okay? Now let's go, so Roman can get back to him plans."

She grabbed his hand and started walking away. I stood back up and went to close the door.

"Thank you Mr. Roman!"

He turned around and waved goodbye before continuing on with his mother. He really was a sweet kid...

I strolled back over to my desk yo grab my jacket, then hurried out of the building. I needed to get to that restaurant quickly... I already know Kätzchen's mind is probably running wild knowing that I'm going to be late because of Airi...

The resolute Old Mr. Wen immediately called the manager of the Wen Corporation's marketing department, Ye Jingzhou. He informed Ye Jingzhou to let Wen Xinya be in charge of the advertising of the Ai Shang Group's skincare products.
Wen Xinya then received a call from Ye Jingzhou.
He suggested that she turn up at the office to speak to him in person.
Wen Xinya agreed since it was the weekend.
Wen Xinya changed into a light blue, short-sleeved shirt, paired with a floral skirt which made her look beautiful and refreshing.
She then put on some makeup to look more mature.
She then headed to the garage to get her car before driving to the Wen Corporation.
Wen Xinya arrived at Wen Corporation ten minutes before the time that she was supposed to meet Ye Jingzhou. She walked towards the front desk to see that the receptionist was using her mobile phone. Upon hearing the footsteps approaching, the receptionist looked up and got a great shock. She sprung up from her seat and spluttered nervously. "Miss… Miss Wen, hello!"
Wen Xinya said smilingly, "I've arranged to meet Manager Ye at three this afternoon. Please inform him that I'm here."
Feeling a huge sense of relief, the receptionist said, "Please hold on, I'll call Manager Ye right away."
Wen Xinya nodded smilingly.
The receptionist soon managed to get through to Ye Jingzhou and she explained the situation to him briefly before hanging up. "Missy, Manager Ye is making his way down now. Please wait for a moment."
Wen Xinya did not have any objections. 
The receptionist was nowhere as calm as Wen Xinya. Throughout the two years that the receptionist had been working at the office, Wen Xinya had rarely visited, and she used to only show up with Old Mr. Wen.
This time, Wen Xinya came alone. The receptionist wondered, Why did she ask to meet Manager Ye?
She suddenly remembered that Wen Xinya had already become an adult and was allowed to take part in the management of the Wen Corporation. She reckoned that she must be here to show her face.
She was extremely excited about this piece of news that she had just discovered and was extremely eager to share it with her close colleagues.
Before Wen Xinya even realized, the news of her joining the marketing department had already spread like wildfire within the Wen Corporation.
The doors of the elevator opened with a ding and out came Ye Jingzhou, who seemed a little flustered. He strode towards Wen Xinya and greeted. "Missy, sorry to have made you wait."
Who would dare to procrastinate when Old Mr. Wen was the one who gave out the orders personally?
However, he was impressed by how punctual Wen Xinya was.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, "Manager Ye, you're being too formal. I was just early."
Ye Jingzhou heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Missy, this way please."
As a senior executive of the Wen Corporation, he obviously paid attention to the successor of the Wen Corporation. When she first reunited with the Wen Family, he despised her and looked down on her abilities. However, he began to change his opinion of her after seeing her achievements. Now that she had earned the recognition of Old Mr. Wen and turned from a gangster to the most prestigious heiress of the city, he clearly realized that she was not simple. 
It was little wonder that she had been taught by Old Mr. Mo.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor where the marketing department was.
"This is the marketing department," Ye Jingzhou said while ushering Wen Xinya into the office, in which there were a few employees working overtime. Some of them greeted Ye Jingzhou.
Ye Jingzhou went to the extent of introducing them to Wen Xinya.
Everyone was stunned.
However, no one understood why she had chosen to join the company when her final year examinations were just around the corner.
Ye Jingzhou continued, "We have a total of four teams. However, when the Wen Corporation acquired Ai Shang Group two years ago, some of their employees joined us and so, we formed another team. This time, you're in charge of Team No. 5!"
Wen Xinya immediately understood that the members of Team Five were probably the employees from Ai Shang Group who were the core of the marketing department.
Ye Jingzhou then introduced her to the situation going on within Team Five.
Wen Xinya found out that the team leader of Team Five was Wang Siying, and that Team Five had been helping the other four teams. She was pleased with the arrangement.
Ye Jingzhou then cleared his throat and said, "Find out the details from Team Leader Zhang later."
Wen Xinya smiled and said, "Thank you, Manager Ye."
Ye Jingzhou was extremely polite and he regarded her with great respect. Throughout the entire time, she had been calm, composed and reserved. Whenever she spoke, she would ask important questions. Most importantly… she was not arrogant and was well-mannered.
She was definitely outstanding.
Ye Jingzhou then led Wen Xinya to a meeting room.
There were some complaints coming from the employees in the meeting room. 
"How unlucky. It's clearly the weekend and yet, we don't get to rest at all. This Miss Wen is really troublesome. She's just a green-horned and yet, she already wants to participate in the management of the company. What a joke."
"I have it worse than you. I was in the midst of watching a movie with my boyfriend when I received a call from Manager Ye. I had no choice but to bail on my boyfriend. He's definitely mad at me now. Seriously… she's going to sit for her final year examinations soon and yet, she's still not focusing on her exams. Instead, she's here to create trouble for everyone. How annoying."
"Cut it out, guys. She's the heiress of the Wen Family and Wen Corporation belongs to her family. They can do whatever they want. If you're not happy… just pray to Buddha that you'll be born with a golden spoon in your mouth in your next life." 
"But, you should also pray that you don't go missing right after you are born and become a gangster. Not everyone is as impressive as Miss Wen, to be able to find a way out for herself despite having a vicious stepmother and cunning stepsister, as well as a scheming adoptive sister."
"Alright! Alright! You guys, enough! We're in the office and the walls have ears. It must be something important. Otherwise, the manager wouldn't have called us to come back. He'll be here anytime soon."
Ye Jingzhou did not expect that his subordinates would talk about Wen Xinya behind her back. Feeling a little awkward, he glanced at Wen Xinya timidly to see that she was still rather calm, maintaining a composure that made him feel a little scared.
Ye Jingzhou said, "Miss Wen…"
Wen Xinya glanced at him calmly and pressed the button on the door before entering the meeting room.

There was nothing special about the first time they met each other. Who knew that such an ordinary encounter would be the start of their glamorous time together? If you are looking for a light and sweet romance with a thrilling story line, then this is definitely the right book for you.

"Then, I'll send the text to your emails."
Kimura Kazuki grinned at the sight of this. He did retain their contact information when he was their home tutor.
Soon, the four people received the mail.
Although Akino sounded unimpressed, being an amateur of Anime, Comic, and Games (ACG), although she hasn't written any of her own light novels yet, she read novels regularly. It was her spiritual food, her whole body would feel uncomfortable if she did not flip through a few pages in a single day.
However… her mouth twitched involuntarily when she saw the book titled Loading File Of Tokyo.
It was probably another light novel which utilized mind-reading ability to fall in love. By the time it was put on sale, they could include a few illustrations in the novel and sell the illustrations with a bunch of toilet paper.
Nowadays, toilet paper novels were increasing in number.
Since the novel named Re: An Alien Life Starting from Scratch became a hit, not only did light novels featuring another world increase, but this type of life resetting theme had increased as well, overwhelming and overloading the readers' aesthetic sense.
While teasing about it, Akino downloaded the novel and began reading raptly. Kimura Kazuki was just sitting right in front of her. If he could just find an excuse to bully her on the pretext of her reckless reading... 
The four sisters read quickly as there was only one chapter. If there was anyone else who wanted them to review a novel with only one chapter, they would probably refuse and despised it while they were at it. Especially Furuhashi Akino, she would even scold a few words.
Natsui was the first to finish the novel, she raised her head slightly and took a glance at the others, her eyes met Harunaka's in an instant.
"How was it? Good? "
"How do I know...I have never read a novel before. If I tell you that this is my first time reading a light novel, would you believe it?"
"Yes. This is my first time reading a novel, too, but I find it quite interesting."
"It is not bad, there is a lot of suspense. But… to know whether it is good enough, we still have to ask Akino and Fuyuno."
They communicated with their eyes for a moment then shifted their gaze toward Akino and Fuyuno.
Needless to say, Akino was an expert in ACG, she would definitely be able to provide a thoughtful analysis later on; they could only call for her help.
Of course, Fuyuno had always wanted to become a voice actor. She had also taken up light novels and animated shows. Speaking about the understanding of light novels and animated shows, she was much more professional than Akino.
Harunaka and Natsui made eye contact again, realizing that the eyesight of Kimura Kazuki was turning toward them, they were frightened and put an act on reading the novel.
Obviously, they were afraid that the other side would ask them questions, they really had no idea on how to answer questions regarding novels. They had a pretty good impression of this single chapter novel before them, but they were worried if this was an illusion coming from their first experience of light novel reading.
After all, Akino had mentioned that it was normal for a person to be immediately fascinated when they first read a novel. On the first read, no matter how bad the writing skill, plot, and storyline were, people would be able to tolerate and accept. Only when more novels were read, then one could differentiate the good and bad of a book. As such, both of them dared not comment.
Shortly after, Akino and Fuyuno finished their readings as well.
"Not bad, but it is too short."
"Great, but it is too short."
Akino and Fuyuno spoke one after another...
Kimura Kazuki was pleasantly surprised when he heard them spoke in unison.
He noticed that both Harunaka and Natsui had finished their readings just now, but they were dodging his eyes as if it was hard for them to speak out. He thought that the novel was dull… looking at how their eyes were shining with anticipation now that Akino and Fuyuno had spoken, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
One novel could not be in favor of everyone. He was very clear of this, moreover, now there was only one chapter completed for Loading File Of Tokyo.
Akino was no longer eating. A while ago, she thought that this novel was a life resetting love story. It was out of her expectation that this was crime fiction. Instead, something came up to her mind in a second, "Is this novel going to participate in the crime fiction section of 'Let's Be A Light Novelist'?"
"Yes," Kimura Kazuki nodded.
Akino and Fuyuno appeared to understand, they had obviously heard about this essay competition.
Upon hearing this, Harunaka seemed to think of something, she spoke with a strange look, "Senior… are you the author of this novel?"
Before they got in contact, Kimura Kazuki told her that he had found a job. His emotions were tense because of the comments on this novel. He even claimed that this was the work of his friend. She was quite sure that this was the work of Kimura Kazuki himself. 
"No… it really is my friend's work," Having spoken these words, he became speechless when he noticed that all of them seemed not to trust him.
"This novel shouldn't be the work of senior," Fuyuno continued to flip through the novel, she spoke with certainty, "The writing style is very similar to a novel which I have read, named Record Book of Matsuzawa Hospital."
Kimura Kazuki looked at Fuyuno in shock, he then nodded his head, "Yes, it was written by that person, you can see it just from the writing style?"
"I recently revised the Record Book of Matsuzawa Hospital again," Fuyuno grinned embarrassedly, "I just like the writing style of Gentera, the words under the tip of his or her pen could easily stir up the emotions of others."
Kimura Kazuki did not fully understand what she said, he was unsure what was the feeling of 'words under the tip of his or her pen could stir up the emotions of others.' But he was still happy since Fuyuno considered it to be good. 
After all, this light novel was going to participate in the essay competition, if it was written well… it would be adapted into comic books or animations, as long as these two were done, it would surely gain the acknowledgment from readers. By that time, Yuriko's obsession could naturally be fulfilled.
"In fact, there's usually nothing much to see from the first chapter of light novels," Akino spoke suddenly, her interest was aroused, "However in this novel… the suspicion and strength of the protagonist were tossed out in the air since the first chapter, that's why I am very interested. You can ask your friend to update it as soon as possible, by then, I can help you to publicize it on Twitter. Be informed that I actually have millions of fans…if anyone else requests me to advertise for them, they will have to pay me a lot of money."
"Really? Why do I not know that you have been earning money from advertisements?" Natsui spoke out of nowhere. "Do you still remember how much money you actually owe us?"
Akino snorted lightly and raised her chin, "My Twitter account is different from those marketing accounts, I have never posted any advertisement before, all of my posts are gaming strategies. Otherwise, how could I get so many fans!"
"Wait…senior, you actually knew teacher Gentera?" Akino was still arguing with Natsui, while Fuyuno suddenly came to a realization after having two spoons of rice. Fuyuno, who was always calm and cold, cried out softly, she laid her eyes on Kimura Kazuki with astonishment, "Both of you are friends in real life?"
Usually, after the beginning of a new novel was completed, it would be first handed to the editor. But there was only one chapter now, perhaps the editor would not bother to have a look.
"You're right."
"So, is teacher Gentera a male or female?"
Kimura Kazuki took a curious glance at Furuhashi Fuyuno, he answered honestly, "Female."
"Sure enough… I knew it." Fuyuno could barely hide her smile, she explained with slight awkwardness when she realized that Kimura Kazuki was giving her a weird stare. "I've been thinking of teacher Gentera as a female all along, but my friend kept telling me that only a man could write such meticulous words in this modern society. So we bet on this… now it seems like I have won."
"Fuyuno… since when did you make new friends? Your old friend, Komuro Jun, hasn't him been transferred to another school?"
The Furuhashi sisters stared at Fuyuno inquisitively. Fuyuno had no choice but to answer, "Although I said she was a friend, she is actually a senior from the voice actor sector. Her name is Yukito Hirata, you guys should be able to recall that I had registered for a voice actor school during my junior high summer holiday, right?"
"Oh..."Akino's mind clicked in an instant, "Isn't the Hirata Performer School founded by Hirata Performer Management Company? I heard that they closed down a few months ago."
Fuyuno coughed lightly, gave Akino a stern glare, and did not say another word.


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.
