At this time.

Starlight Music, a subsidiary, was experiencing instability due to the merger of the two continents. Gu Qiangyun couldn’t even prioritize orders anymore; he was more concerned about the potential changes that might occur in the branch. This matter to some extent determined his future career.

Gu Qiangyun thought…

Orders were a feature of Qi Continent.

But in the future, there would be no distinction between Qin Continent and Qi Continent, and the order model would no longer become mainstream. Instead, the music market of Qin Continent is more likely to dictate the musical trend of both continents in the future. After all, they are the true Land of Music. The musical prowess of Qi Continent was utterly overshadowed by theirs, and so the Qi Continent’s music market must adapt and follow their model.

So, what about the branch?

Gu Qiangyun, and indeed most people, could not see the potential strategic changes in the future. The only thing they could predict was that all areas and industries would have to go through a reshuffling!

In fact,

this reshuffling had already begun to some extent, as Gu Qiangyun’s office desk was now adorned with twelve resignation letters. Evidently, some people had ideas and wanted to seize the historic turning point.

This was just the beginning.

Gu Qiangyun believed that the others who were still in the company either couldn’t think of what they could do in this change, or they wanted to wait in the company and make decisions when the situation became slightly clearer, ideally, to see what responsive measures the headquarters would take.

As for Lin Yuan,

with the advancing reform of Blue Star in December, he finally felt the changes brought about by the merger of the two markets more profoundly. That’s because Silver Blue Books in Qin Continent suddenly gave Lin Yuan unexpected news – his book sales had skyrocketed!

“It’s crazy!”

Even across the internet, Lin Yuan could feel the editor YangFeng’s almost fanatic excitement: “Not only ‘Zhu Xian’, our novels in Qin Continent can now be sold in Qi Continent. Fantasy novels in particular are very popular in Qi Continent. Almost half of the novels have seen a surge in sales. I heard that not only in our novel industry, many film companies in Qi Continent have made a fortune from paid broadcast of old films in Qin Continent alone. Chu Kuang, if you have time, you can go to bookstores in Qi Continent. You will definitely see our Silver Blue Books novels!”

Lin Yuan told YangFeng before.

He was currently in Qi Continent.

Lin Yuan asked: “Did all books skyrocket?”

YangFeng’s response came a little slower this time: “I’m sorry, it’s really busy here in the company. In fact, not all novels have seen a surge in sales, it’s just that our fantasy novels have an advantage. This has to do with the poor quality of fantasy novels in Qi Continent.”

Qi Continent’s fantasy novels are not good.

But Qi Continent used to not allow their own people to see the novels in Qin Continent, necessitating a substantial cost for importation. Therefore, Qi people could often only read the fantasy novels in Qi Continent. Now that the barriers of the two sides have been broken, Qin Continent’s fantasy novels naturally have impacted the market here.

“What about other types?”

“Detective novels are very popular in Qi Continent. So, Chu Kuang, you can probably guess that our detective novels at Silver Blue Books have not been selling well in recent days. Readers who like detective stories are now all reading Qi Continent’s detective stories. The editor-in-chief has already ordered to recruit some brilliant detective novelists from Qi Continent. But overall, the novel markets of both sides are now very vibrant.”

YangFeng typed a bunch of words.

Lin Yuan had a clearer understanding of the current situation. Of course, his judgment was not made from a macro perspective; he did not have strategic insight or talent. The most intuitive judgment of Lin Yuan as an ordinary person was, in fact, somewhat cliche:

We’re succeeding!

Finally, YangFeng reminded Lin Yuan: “Now the exchange between the two sides has no restrictions whatsoever, including the Tribe platform. Although the Tribe platform could also be used in Qi Continent before, it was a castrated version, so it wasn’t very user-friendly. You can check it out online; I need to go handle something on this end.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan replied with a word, then tried to open the Tribe app on his phone, only to discover that his phone needed a system update, probably related to this significant change.

He updated it for half an hour.

The phone was usable again after half an hour. Then, Lin Yuan logged into Tribe, only to find that the interface of Tribe was exactly the same as in Qin Continent. He had been able to use Tribe in Qi Continent before, but most of its functions had been cut off; it was like a forsaken rubbish app. The comments on the internet were quite interesting:

“Is this Qin Continent’s blog?”

“I downloaded Tribe before, but we in Qi Continent had a castrated version, so it was extremely inconvenient to use, and the system and internet speed made me want to die. Now that I’ve used it, I realize it’s not worse than our blog.”

“The functions are similar.”

“As a resident of Qin Continent, I just want to say it’s great to freely share everything with our friends in Qi Continent. I’ve been watching movies from Qi Continent these past few days. Our Qin Continent’s film development is nowhere as good, especially the movie ‘Special Agents’, it’s simply mind­blowing.”

“Haha!”

“You should pay attention to some new movies. ‘Special Agents’ was a film from our Qi Continent more than ten years ago. However, it is indeed a classic. From now on, the works of both sides will be released simultaneously, there’s no more continental wall to block us.”

“This is nothing.”

“Recently, I’ve been listening to songs from Qin Continent. Your music in Qin Continent is definitely first-class on Blue Star, and compared with this, our Qi Continent’s songs are simply incomparable in quality. Ninety percent of the songs in my music library are from Qin Continent.

The exchange between the two sides was very heated, almost as if they regret not meeting sooner. From this perspective, the merger of the two continents is a good decision. At least for the common people, instead, it seems mean- spirited that the districts previously constricted each other’s communication channels so tightly.

And in the middle of this month.

There was finally movement from the headquarters. Everyone from the branches was to go to Qin Continent for a meeting, with the travel expenses covered by the main office. At this moment, Lin Yuan could imagine that some major decisions and changes were bound to happen.

ps: The later plot is probably the new stage of this book. I looked at the backstage, and it turned out that the subscription didn’t drop too badly. It means you guys haven’t given up on this book, I am really touched.

In addition, this book has averaged more than ten thousand subscriptions.

This is Polluted White’s fourth novel with over ten thousand subscriptions. This could not be done without your support. I want to say thank you sincerely. I also hope you guys will like the forthcoming plot, I had to scrap around three hundred thousand words of the original plot. Whether this decision is correct, I myself don’t know. However, it’s indeed the first time I’ve burnt the boats while writing. Please subscribe to the monthly ticket!
