After all, aside from messages from these media companies, there were also various private messages from netizens. When scrolling through, it seemed like there were tens of thousands of messages. No wonder Xu Lin couldn't read them all. Among them were some messy messages, so it might just be better to turn off private messages altogether.

However, Xu Lin figured that since his song went viral, people would probably try to reach out to him through various channels wanting to sign him or buy his copyrights, which was predictable. So Xu Lin thought it would be best to wait a bit longer.

Afterwards, Xu Lin logged into an alternate account to reply to some questions Wu Chengfeng and the others had about songwriting.

As for them calling Xu Lin awesome — referring to the popularity of Xu Lin's song — Xu Lin just exchanged a few words with them. There was really nothing much to say. As someone who didn't usually show up on the internet, Xu Lin wasn't too interested in these things.

It's worth mentioning that Shifang and Asura's new books were both launched, specifically on the first. It's already the third today.

Both of them achieved excellent results. Shifang's initial orders were 43,000, and Asura's initial orders were slightly higher at 48,000.

Both of them were very excited about this achievement.

Starting with 40,000 orders means that even if they follow the outline Xu Lin provided with their eyes closed, they could easily reach over 100,000 orders on average. It also meant they were bound to become legendary.

Moreover, it's only the third today. The books have been on sale for only two days, and their average orders have both surpassed 50,000. They might very well surpass 100,000 by the end of the month.

100,000 average orders truly solidify their status as top authors.

Xu Lin messaged Ranzhi about this matter.

Ranzhi replied quickly, "Given the current results, those two will definitely become legends this year. Don't worry, Mr. Xu! Sunglasses.jpg"

Xu Lin: "Ok."

Xu Lin then opened Moonlit Night's message. Moonlit Night was the first person Xu Lin collaborated with, and during the summer vacation, Xu Lin had even helped him as a ghostwriter.

Moonlit Night was asking if Xu Lin would be releasing any new outlines soon, as he would like to take one.

There were five people in the group, and now four had reached new heights with Xu Lin's help. It's understandable that Moonlit Night would be eager for his turn.

Moonlit Night was a good guy; previously, he'd even voluntarily given a portion of his manuscript fee to Xu Lin, so Xu Lin didn't mind giving him a hand.

"Probably by December at the latest, and I'll release a new urban outline then and notify you."

"Thanks, big boss! Bowing down to you.jpg"

However, Xu Lin estimated that if things go smoothly, this might be his last outline. Originally, he planned to create ten outlines.

But this year he already had four big authors under him. If everything goes well, that task might be completed in one go. Once it's completed, Xu Lin planned to stop, so he figured he would release just one more outline by the end of the year, which would be the last one.

He wouldn't delve deeply into the web literature circle anymore. He intended to enter a new industry, and compared to the web lit circle, making money in the music or entertainment industry seemed much more intriguing. The web lit industry is at the lowest end of the entertainment sector.

At 9:30 in the evening, Xu Lin returned to Rong Xiyi's place.

His mom was watching TV, with Rong Xiyi leaning on her shoulder in an affectionate manner.

When he got back, he saw a bag of flour on the dining table in the living room.

Newly bought.

"What's this for?"

Xu Lin was curious.

"We're going to make tangyuan tomorrow night. Come back early tomorrow night to have tangyuan, I'll make them for you!"

Ms. Ren said.

Xu Lin suddenly realized,

Ms. Ren was a qualified lawyer, but she wasn't the kind of woman who never touched a cooking pot. Instead, she was good in the kitchen, knowing how to make many delicious foods aside from regular meals. Her cooking skills were top-notch, and she could make tangyuan, zongzi, glutinous rice cakes, and various seasonal treats.

When Xu Lin was a child, he used to think that if he married a wife in the future, he wanted to marry someone like his mom who could make delicious food for him.

"When are you leaving again?"

Xu Lin asked.

"Are you trying to get rid of me just after I arrived?"

"How could I? I think of you every day!"

Xu Lin grinned.

"Nothing good ever comes out of a dog's mouth!"

Ms. Ren slightly glared at him and said, "Probably on Wednesday morning!"

Xu Lin nodded.

"Mom, are you leaving on Wednesday?"

Rong Xiyi asked, looking up.

"I have to go back to work. I wish I could spend more time with the two of you!"

Ms. Ren said helplessly, then added, "But during Chinese New Year, Yanyan, you should come back with Xu Lin, and we can celebrate it properly!"

"Yes, yes! You're the best, Mom!"

Rong Xiyi leaned on her mom's shoulder, the two of them sharing a deep mother-daughter bond and continued chatting about everyday topics.

Xu Lin wasn't interested in the topics and originally intended to go back to his room to take a shower and sleep.

He had a bathroom in the master bedroom.

But his mom asked him to stay in the living room, so Xu Lin had to sit on the sofa, lounging around and playing with his phone.

The time then went on to 10:30 in the evening, and Rong Xiyi said she was going to take a shower.

Seeing Rong Xiyi enter the bathroom,

Ms. Ren waved at Xu Lin, signaling for him to come closer.

"What is it?"

Xu Lin sat down beside her.

"Do you know about Yanyan's family situation?"

"I know a little, but not much."

"I just indirectly asked her and found out her family situation is even more complicated than I thought. She takes her mother's surname, which is from her maternal grandfather's side. Her father's surname is Jiang, and he married into her mother's family. After her grandfather passed away, her mom couldn't manage her husband, and with no siblings, she was left with nothing. This child is so pitiful; you should treat her better going forward."

"Left with nothing?"

Xu Lin had never considered these issues before.
