Jin Mu moved quickly. Since the new work had to be released in March, he swiftly reached a deal with Tribe Literature. As long as Chu Kuang could secure a top-three position this time, there would be an additional bonus of 200,000—
This is what makes reputation so important.
Currently, Chu Kuang was ranked 14th among the short-story writers in Qin, Qi, and Chu Provinces. His ability to promote and rally support was huge.
*This was the confidence that allowed Chu Kuang to demand extra compensation for his new release from Tribe!*
*It also stemmed from the intense interest of other platforms like Blog.*
*After all, if Tribe refused Chu Kuang's request, what if he turned around and collaborated with Blog instead?*
*They simply couldn't afford to take that risk.*
Time proved that Tribe's concerns were valid.
Because just as Jin Mu signed the new short-story contract on Chu Kuang's behalf with Tribe, someone from Blog reached out shortly after.
