Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Battle Through the Heavens” was a fantasy novel on “Qidian” in the previous world. With a total of 130 million views, it was regarded as the best of the best and a phenomenal web novel. The novel was very broad in scope and the plot was well thought out, from the protagonist’s first appearance to how he leveled up and finally became the world’s strongest. This novel was said to be the textbook fantasy novel.
And Sunflower’s style was just right for this novel!
“This is the one!” Now that Wang Hao had chosen a novel, he started to tell Sunflower the plot of “Battle Through the Heavens” straight away, including the classic first line of the novel, “Fighting power, stage three.”
Sunflower was completely impressed, especially when he heard the saying, “Don’t underestimate a poor teen”!
Sunflower: “Sunday, that’s such a brilliant idea! How did you come up with that? I’m sure this novel will be a real hit!”
Of course! “Battle Through the Heavens” created countless records in the previous world; how could it not become a hit?
“Write well! When the novel becomes popular, I’ll give you a raise,” Wang Hao said pretentiously. “Remember, today will be tough, tomorrow will be tough, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people die on the second night.”
Jack Ma, since you’re not in this world, I’ll just borrow your classic quote!
Ahahaha!
Sunflower: “Sunday, I’ll do my best!”
Sunday Wang: “Finish the first three chapters today and let me have a look. If everything’s fine, we’ll sign a collaboration agreement.”
Sunflower: “Huh? An agreement? I don’t know about these things — what kind of agreement?”
Sunday Wang: “A confidentiality agreement. You can’t tell anyone you wrote the novel, okay?”
Sunflower: “Got it! I’m off to bed now; I’ll start working on it tomorrow morning!”
After closing WeChat, Wang Hao took a deep breath.
Ahahahahaha!
I’m indeed invincible today! Money’s going to grow on trees!
This is awesome! I’m going to sleep! Now that I’ve taken the first step, I’ll need some startup capital for that little guy!
I’ll go and look for a job tomorrow!
…
The next day, Wang Hao woke up early in the morning.
I have fantastic fortune today; surely, everything will go well!
After a whole day of misfortune, Wang Hao had to make up for all his losses today!
Let’s go out to eat! I’ll take the elevator, and see if it still gets stuck!
“Ding dong!” It went all the way down! When Wang Hao stepped out of the building, a few people stopped him. One of them was obviously from property management, and he pointed at Wang Hao and yelled, “Boss, that’s him!”
F*ck! What’s happening?!
Wang Hao wanted to run, but refrained. No! Today is my lucky day! Come at me, then!
“It’s me… Why?” Wang Hao looked at them. There’s so many of you, but so what? I’m not afraid at all!
Their leader was a man in a suit who was in his mid-40s or so. He wasn’t tall, maybe under six feet. He was balding a little and wore a pair of glasses. The man approached Wang Hao, bowed, and said, “こんにちは,私は明日のエレベーター会社の中には,中海の会社は,昨日エレベーターの故障の件について申し訳ないと,今日は非常に申し訳なく,今日は非常に謝罪,あなたは,お許しください.”
Wang Hao couldn’t understand a single word he said, but at least he could tell that the man was speaking Japanese.
“What is he talking about?” Wang Hao looked around. “Is he messing with me?”
Just then, a secretary next to the man came forward and interpreted for Wang Hao’s benefit. “Our boss said: Good day, sir! I’m Masakazu Yamaguchi, the Zhonghai District manager for Tomorrow Elevator Company. We’re really sorry about the elevator malfunction yesterday. We’ve come here today to offer you compensation. Please accept our apologies.”
Wait? He’s here to apologize?
Wang Hao was thrilled!
Ahahahahaha! This is the first time ever in my whole life that somebody’s apologizing to me! How cool!
Wang Hao sniffed. “Tell him to improve the quality of their products so that they don’t break down easily. You’re lucky I have a good temper. If it was someone else, you would’ve had to send this elevator back to the factory for maintenance!”
The interpreter immediately told the man what Wang Hao said.
The man bowed and said something again. His interpreter then told Wang Hao, “We understand, and we’re really sorry about the inconvenience caused. That’s why we’re here today. Our company has prepared a present for you. We hope you’ll accept it. Again, we apologize for our mistake.”
Huh? A present?
Wang Hao’s face lit up. “What kind of present? Let me see!”
Their boss waved a hand, and someone stepped forward to give Wang Hao a beautiful box.
The interpreter said, “This is a present from our boss; it’s the latest Zippo lighter. We hope you like it. Of course, if you’re not a smoker, we can give you something else.”
“No, it’s fine. This is good enough!” Wang Hao smiled and opened the box. There was a fancy lighter inside. He took it out and fiddled with it. Nice!
“Well, since you seem kind of sincere, I can forgive you.” Wang Hao nodded. “But remember to prioritize quality. Quality is the most essential thing for a business, got it?”
The interpreter told the man what Wang Hao said. He nodded and apologized, then said through his interpreter, “We understand, thank you for the reminder. If you’re satisfied with our compensation, we’ll be leaving now. We wish you all the best. Goodbye.”
Wang Hao waved and said, “Off you go.”
Once everyone was gone, Wang Hao chortled. Ahahaha! Fantastic!
What a great start!
Now, let’s go get a job!
