She was now alone in her office and was busy reviewing some documents. Suddenly, she received a call from Sonia.
Sonia was extremely thrilled on the phone and she let out a sharp cry. “Oh, my God! What a day! Guess what happened to me today!”
“You won a lottery?” Ariana asked calmly. She held the phone away from her ears to avoid Sonia’s screams which almost burst her ear drums.
“It's more exciting than winning the lottery. It’s not superficial joy, but 100% absolute happiness!” Sonia shouted. She seemed to be going to give a speech on the philosophy of life, but Ariana interrupted her.
“Did you get a promotion? Tell me what it is. I'll hang up if you don’t.”
“Okay, okay, I'll say.” Sonia couldn’t hold back her excitement and said, “A wealthy fan just gave me fifty thousand dollars of tips for my novel!” ©
Ariana was astonished. “Really? That's a lot. Are you talking about the novel
‘Things You Do For True Love’, with an exaggerated cliché of a plot that is about a CEO? Who is this fan by the way? I’m curious.” ©
Sonia let out an irate groan. “How could you say that? My novel is still on the top three list of the novel website, okay?”
“Sonia, do you even know how you got on the top three list?” Ariana rolled her eyes.
The story of Sonia’s writing career could be traced back to her school days.
She was obsessed with reading romantic novels, and couldn’t resist reading them in class, at home, and even during meals. ©
Eventually, she decided to write her own novels to fulfill her personal desire. But every time she finished one, it turned out to be rubbish. Her writing was just plain lousy, and she always forced Ariana to add positive comments to her books.
The popularity of her current novel's top ranking was just the result of Sonia paying people to comment on her book in order to increase traffic. She earned the money for this from her job as a paparazzo and entertainment blogger.
To further increase the hype, Sonia even created alternate accounts to criticize anyone who left negative comments, following the popular strategy commonly used in the entertainment industry.
She had opened at least ten accounts, and the website regulators warned her about it. She almost got banned from publishing any novels.
But since this book had increased traffic on the website, the officials eventually turned a blind eye to it.
This situation showed that in today’s society, as long as someone was popular, regardless of who they were, they'd be seen as a treasure.
As of now, this book had been serialized for over one million words. Considering Sonia’s writing habits, it was likely far from completion. ©
“After years of practice, my writing skills have completed a qualitative leap! The number of eager readers has increased several- fold compared to the original data,”
