Morning Glory saw the general manager and calmly got off Meng Bo.
"President, I'll go back to work now," Morning Glory said in a sweet voice. "Don't forget what you promised me."
Morning Glory returned to her workstation, her face flushed with an unnatural redness. Lavender and the others exchanged strange looks.
As she applied lipstick while looking into a small mirror, Morning Glory sneered with a pointed remark, "Some people should stop pretending to be nice to your face while stabbing you in the back. Those who cross me will end up like Dogtail Grass."
The male editors in the editorial department didn't dare to make a sound.
In the president's office.
"What is it?" Meng Bo, annoyed at being interrupted, asked with a displeased expression.
"President, Lin Xuan, whose novel we took down, has launched a new website," the general manager reported.
"Hah," Meng Bo sneered. "He dares to go against our website? How delusional!"
"Find a way to suppress him. Don't let his website gain any traction," Meng Bo ordered.
"If he dares to start a novel website, I'll make sure he loses everything!"
Meng Bo's face darkened.
How dare he go against me? He's utterly overestimating himself!
"President, we've already tried to suppress him. But within just two days of launching, his novel website has already reached 3.5 million downloads," the general manager said with a grave expression.
"Lin Xuan also posted a lengthy article exposing our website, and the downloads skyrocketed to 13 million. At the same time, many readers have uninstalled our app."
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation—a website rising by stepping on theirs, and they were powerless to fight back!
Meng Bo's expression changed. "Didn't you take down the trending topics? Is the PR department just sitting around doing nothing?" he scolded.
Thirteen million downloads! That was no small number!
How could Lin Xuan's novel website grow to this extent?
"We contacted Weibo to take down the trending topics," the general manager said, pursing his lips.
"Then why are they still up?" Meng Bo shouted, pointing at his phone.
The general manager lowered his head. "Weibo replied that they can't take them down."
"How is that possible?" Meng Bo frowned.
The general manager looked troubled. "I checked the novels on his website. They're very compelling. President, I'm afraid our website is facing a formidable opponent this time."
Meng Bo slumped into his office chair.
Lin Xuan had such capabilities? He thought he was just an ordinary author. Shutting down his novel should have been the end of it.
But now, he's using Leap Website as a stepping stone!
Meng Bo also downloaded the Palm Novel app. Seeing the novels inside, his face turned ashen.
"President, we have a problem."
The head of the legal department rushed in.
"What now?" Meng Bo snapped irritably.
"President, Bai Linjiang from Su Corporation's legal department has filed a lawsuit against us."
"What?!" Meng Bo's eyes widened.
Su Corporation?
The legal department head kept his head down. "They're claiming our contracts are illegal, listing multiple violations. They demand we revise them and compensate the authors for their losses."
"Also, they want the copyright of *Doted On by the Yandere Tycoon* returned to the original author," the legal department head said, his voice trembling.
"How is this possible?" Meng Bo shook his head in disbelief.
How did I offend Su Corporation?
The legal department head kept his head low. "President, our chances of winning against Su Corporation's legal team are slim."
"Even if we had a chance, we can't afford to go against Su Corporation!" Meng Bo's face turned pale.
His family didn't just own this novel website. If Su Corporation targeted them, their other businesses would be ruined!
"Go contact Bai Linjiang. Tell him we agree to all their demands. Let's settle this without going to court," Meng Bo said, his voice shaking.
"Yes," the legal department head sighed in relief. At least they didn't have to face Bai Linjiang directly.
Meng Bo collapsed onto the sofa, defeated.
This incident was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Leap Website.
The general manager had been frowning the whole time.
After the legal department head left, he couldn't help but speak up. "President, do you think Su Corporation is targeting us because of Lin Xuan?"
"Lin Xuan?" Meng Bo's brows furrowed tightly.
"Yes," the general manager nodded. "I feel Lin Xuan isn't just an ordinary novelist."
"Su Corporation's legal team specifically demanded we terminate our contract with Lin Xuan. Out of all the authors, they only mentioned Lin Xuan's novel. It's clear they're here for him."
"President, we've kicked a hornet's nest this time. It's highly likely that Lin Xuan has connections with Su Corporation."
Hearing this, Meng Bo felt a chill run through his limbs.
Lin Xuan had ties with Su Corporation?
"President, our website was doing just fine. Think about how we offended Lin Xuan," the general manager reminded.
"Right, it's her! Morning Glory!" Meng Bo's face burned with anger. "If it weren't for her instigation, I wouldn't have taken down Lin Xuan's novel, wouldn't have driven him away, and he wouldn't have started a website to compete with us!"
"And we wouldn't have provoked Su Corporation!"
It's all her fault!
Meng Bo stormed into the male editors' office.
Morning Glory saw Meng Bo and her eyes lit up. The president had promised her a promotion to editor-in-chief today. He must be here to announce it!
She didn't expect the president to come personally. He must be here to show his support for her!
Morning Glory smiled brightly.
"President, what brings you here?" Morning Glory walked up to Meng Bo with a smile.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.

Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
