“Mr. Lin…”
The following morning,
As soon as Lin Yuan arrived at the company, Gu Qiangyun rushed over to him.
However, after he started to talk, he seemed to suddenly forget what he was going to say, simply staring at Lin Yuan with a complex look.
Snatching food from the tiger’s mouth!
Gu Qiangyun had thought that Mr. Lin had given up on the Seven Star’s competitive order, but to his surprise, the latter managed to defeat Red Moon and Lone Wolf to win the order in front of everyone, performing a miracle akin to snatching food from a tiger’s mouth!
Shocking beyond belief…
This was Gu Qiangyun’s feeling at the moment, as well as the entire Starlight Music’s!
Lin Yuan, however, thought that Gu Qiangyun had come to discuss the new order, and said,
“I won’t take orders recently.”
Even though Lin Yuan wished to accept dozens of orders at once, he had to suppress this impulse.
“Okay… okay…”
Gu Qiangyun naturally agreed readily, finally suppressing the shock in his heart, and said with a promising smile, “Mr. Lin, you’ve really worked hard recently. We’ll also try our best. The company has received countless more orders, all thanks to you, Mr. Lin. We’ll seize the opportunity!”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Not long after Gu Qiangyun left, Gu Dong also appeared in the office.
However, just like Gu Qiangyun, she opened her mouth, but all her thoughts seemed to get stuck in her throat, leaving only an ambiguous smile that was either flattering or admiring, “Mr. Lin, would you like some tea?”
“Hmm.”
Lin Yuan stared at his computer, without looking up, just responded casually.
After brewing the tea, Gu Dong placed it on Lin Yuan’s desk. She clearly saw what was written on Lin Yuan’s computer screen: “Great Wizard, I have a friend who lost her two souls and seven spirits, leaving only one soul. She has been like a fake death for exactly Ten Years. I heard that, Great Wizard, you have a unique technique to revive souls. Please, you must save her…”
She suddenly shuddered.
After putting down the brewed tea, she quietly left Lin Yuan’s office.
“Did Mr. Lin say anything?”
Gu Qiangyun popped out from somewhere. Perhaps, he had been paying attention to Gu Dong since she entered Lin Yuan’s office.
“No.”
Gu Dong looked somewhat awe-inspired, “But I only realized today how hard Mr. Lin has been working…”
“Working hard?”
Gu Qiangyun hesitated and asked, “Why do you say that?”
The expression on Gu Dong’s face had become somewhat solemn, “Didn’t you once mention that reading novels is the way Mr. Lin gets inspired? At first, I didn’t believe it, but now I have no doubt in my mind!”
Gu Qiangyun exclaimed in surprise, “You mean?”
Gu Dong nodded forcefully, “Mr. Lin is still looking for inspiration!”
Gu Qiangyun said subconsciously, “So he is reading novels during work hours again…”
“It’s not reading novels, it’s looking for inspiration! Saying it like that could lead to misunderstandings.”
Gu Dong immediately corrected Gu Qiangyun, “Reading novels is Mr. Lin’s way of finding inspiration. He had just completed a big order and there’s no sign of slackness in him. Compared to him, all of us should be ashamed!”
“You’re right.”
Gu Qiangyun acknowledged the inappropriateness in his words, “Mr. Lin really works hard. Success doesn’t happen by chance for anyone!”
Others read novels to relax.
But Mr. Lin reads novels to pursue creative inspiration.
The two looked at Lin Yuan’s office, their faces filled with respect.
The impact of the Seven Star order is huge.
With Red Moon and Lone Wolf as the background of this order, Starlight Music’s ranking has soared to 73rd after a series of breakthroughs!
Especially those companies ranked in the 80s, they were in bitter plight.
Since Starlight Music entered the top 100, the bottom of the ranking had ignited a bonfire.
Those companies that are ranked slightly higher thought that this fire would only burn the companies ranked in the 90s.
Who would have imagined that an unexpected gust of wind had already spread the fire to those ranked in the 70s and above.
And with that,
Those companies ranked in the 80s have inevitably become cannon fodder.
As for those companies ranked in the 90s, while feeling regret, they also inexplicably felt some schadenfreude—
You thought you were safe, didn’t you?
Look up and see, who does Xian Yu spare!
It was as if it were a viral infection.
When those companies ranked in the 80s are also devastated, the gloating eyes have already turned to all companies ranked after 50!
The fear has kicked in.
With Starlight Music’s continuous breakthroughs, more and more companies could not maintain a position of neutrality on the ranking.
No wonder!
Even Red Moon and Lone Wolf had fallen!
Why should these companies ranked in their 50s feel safe?
Although logically, it won’t be easy for Starlight Music to keep climbing, who would dare to judge the company based on previous experiences now?
The existence of Xian Yu is unscientific in itself!
And so,
Those companies that felt they were not safe enough all called for emergency meetings at the same time, with a simple and almost pure goal:
Climb up!
Find a safe place!
Some even dubbed this phenomenon as the “Xian Yu Effect.”
It’s certainly a pun on the “Catfish effect”—
The people of a certain continent on Blue Star love to eat sardines, especially live ones.
The price of live fish in the market is much higher than that of dead fish, so the fishermen always try every possible way to bring back live sardines.
Despite their efforts, most of the sardines still die of suffocation halfway.
Later, someone put a catfish, which mainly feeds on fish, in the tank with the sardines.
The sardines, seeing the catfish, avoided it everywhere. In this way, the lack of oxygen was solved, and most of them were lively and bouncing when they returned to the harbor.
Look at that.
Aren’t these companies, trying not to be squeezed off the ranking by Starlight Music, very much like the life-loving little sardines?
This is the Xian Yu Effect!
And with the moves of these companies, the ones ranked higher suddenly felt a crisis too—
There’s a big gap between ranks in the 70s and in the 50s.
But the gap between the 30-40S and the 50s is very small.
Now, with those companies ranked in the 50s and 60s desperately pushing forward like they’re on stimulants, how could the companies ranked slightly higher not be concerned and skeptical?
One thing leads to another.
The rankings are in chaos!
This has probably been the first time ever since the establishment of the B-side ranking list on Qi Continent that the tail of the rank has had such a far-reaching impact.
Of course,
Everyone is still being overly worried.
Lin Yuan has no plans to continue taking orders recently.
And if Lin Yuan does not take any action, Starlight Music will remain a company without much threat.
However,
With the influx of a large number of orders, Starlight Music has indeed ushered in an unprecedented opportunity for development.
To this end,
The stagnant water of Starlight Music seems to have been stirred up a bit.
The chess move of establishing a branch office by the headquarters of Starlight Music at Qin Continent seems to be somewhat revitalized..
