Genshin Impact was written as Three-Body Problem, but due to delayed updates, Fou locked him in a da

In Charles's eyes, Xiao Xiao was not just a writer, but also the key to the future development of Steambird Newspaper, his cash cow! At this moment, his eyes gleamed with cunning and greed.

If we could strongly support this author and have him publish his novels exclusively in all Steambird newspapers, then the sales of Steambird newspapers would definitely skyrocket!

As the president of Steambird Newspaper, he owns 30% of the newspaper's shares. Such huge profits forced this Fontaine capitalist to take it seriously. Although he never reads literary works, as long as he can make money, that's all that matters to him.

Hearing Charles's words, Ou Fu's eyes showed a hint of hesitation. She said softly, "But... President... actually, our newspaper has no way to contact this author who writes under the pen name 'Xiao Xiao', and we know nothing about his identity."

Charles frowned slightly, his voice carrying a hint of sternness: "Hmm? Doesn't our newspaper have a rule that we can't publish an author's work without their reliable contact information? You should have known that already, right?"

With a determined look in her eyes, Ou Fu replied, "I know that's in accordance with the rules, but you've seen the quality of this work. Without his work, our newspaper wouldn't have sold so well."

She paused for a moment, then added, "But don't worry, President, I'll find a way to contact that author..."

Charles hesitated for a moment, then handed over an envelope and looked at Ou Fu, saying, "Well, you did a good job this time. According to the rules, I'll give you double your salary."

Ove is the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper and a pillar of the newspaper. No matter how bad-tempered Charles is, he has to speak nicely to her.

Ou took the envelope and said with a smile, "Well, thank you, President!" She turned around happily, ready to leave the office.

That's not it. It's not that she likes Mora that much. Rather, it's because she paid out of her own pocket to hire many editors to work overtime to help sell the first issue of the Steambird Newspaper's fiction column.

But when she opened the envelope and saw that it contained only a paltry 7900 Mora, she stopped abruptly, frozen in place.

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh: This amount of Mora isn't even enough to treat the editors to a meal!

Prices in Teyvat are incomparable to those in the real world. A serving of white radish costs 350 Mora, and a Teyvat omelet costs 200 Mora. Light novels sold by Yaedo generally cost between 1500 and 3000 Mora, and even newspapers published by Steambird Newspaper cost around 2000 Mora.

而正常时期现实中土豆的价格在8毛8到1块8毛8之间，一般的书籍也是在12块到32块之间，所以提瓦特大陆的物价大概和现实相比是100:1。

In other words, 20 Mora a month seems like a lot, but when converted, it's only about 2000 yuan. However, Zaoyou is affiliated with the company and is a public servant with room and board provided, so there's no need to worry about the salary being too low. Plus, he can often take paid breaks to sleep!

......

At this moment, in the editor-in-chief's office of the Steambird Newspaper, a look of disbelief flashed in Ou Fu's eyes.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself as she trembled with shock, and then said firmly to Charles:

"President, why is it only 7900 Mora? My basic monthly salary, excluding bonuses, is Mora. You should pay me at least 20 Mora."

She knew before that the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper was a stingy guy, but she didn't expect him to be stingy to the extreme.

Her eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction, but more so a steadfast commitment to fairness and justice.

However, when confronted with O'F's persistent questioning, Charles simply adjusted his monocle and said to her in an impatient tone:

"Where is it missing?"

"This has been the standard for so many years, okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. It's very difficult for us bosses."

"Sometimes I look for the reasons within myself. Over the years, has my salary increased? Have I been working diligently?"

"Is it good or bad? We've been paying bonuses according to this standard for so many years. You only received 7900 Mora because that's your daily wage."

As Ou Fu listened to Charles's words, a sense of powerlessness welled up inside her.

She knew that arguing with such a president was pointless. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself. She knew she couldn't give up over such a small matter.

She put the envelope away, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Okay, President, I understand. I will continue to work hard." Then, she turned and left the office.

Walking home, Ou Fu was filled with complicated emotions.

She knew she needed to work harder; only then could she secure better treatment under this stingy president, and perhaps even oust him from his position!

After all, the Fontaine Steambird Newspaper is a state-owned enterprise and doesn't have many complicated factional relationships. As long as your performance is good enough, you can kick the boss out!

The key to bringing down this unscrupulous boss was this novel column in the Steambird Newspaper, which was entirely under Ou Fu's control.

As long as she continues to increase the sales of the Steambird Newspaper's fiction column and expands its influence to an unprecedented level, she will have the right to impeach the president, expose his crimes one by one, and then, based on her contributions to the newspaper, replace him as the president of Steambird Newspaper.

At the same time, she was also thinking about how to find the mysterious author "Xiao Xiao," which might bring her new opportunities.

She knew this wasn't the time to despair. She needed to find the mysterious author, "Xiao Xiao," as soon as possible to secure the future of Steambird Newspaper and ensure her efforts would be better rewarded.

She put away the envelope, walked resolutely out of the office, and began to plan how to find the mysterious author.

Ove stood at the window of the Steambird newspaper office, her gaze fixed firmly on the bustling street outside. Her heart was filled with worry and determination.

As the newspaper's editor-in-chief, she knew the importance of finding the mysterious author, "Xiao Xiao."

But she also knew that it was almost an impossible task to accomplish on her own and with the help of her colleagues.

The newspaper editors' daily work consists of reviewing and editing manuscripts; they are completely clueless when it comes to finding people.

She had considered seeking help from the highest authority in Fontaine, the Tribunal, to have them send detectives from the Shadow Chaser's Court to investigate, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

After all, the author hasn't disappeared; they just can't be contacted.

If she actually goes to court to report the case, she might be charged with disrupting official business, and in the end, she would be the one to be fined.

After much deliberation, Ou Fu made a decision. She decided to go to Baisong Town to seek help from the Rose Society.

Unlike the official courts, the Rose Thorn Society is a non-governmental organization that specializes in handling disputes, providing protection, and resolving various problems. Its headquarters are located in Baisong Town.

As a non-governmental organization, the Rose Thorn Society would naturally accept such requests to find people. Moreover, through some channels, Ou Fu learned that the Rose Thorn Society was currently facing a shortage of funds.

Therefore, Ou Fu decided to use public funds to hire members of the Rose Thorn Society to help her find the mysterious author "Xiao Xiao".

She believed that with the capabilities and resources of the Rose Thorn Society, the chances of finding "Xiao Xiao" would greatly increase.

But she also knew that this operation was fraught with uncertainty. She had to develop a detailed plan to ensure everything was under control.

She decided to first gather all the information about "Xiao Xiao," including his writing style, the time and place of publication, and even readers' comments about him, as this information might become clues to finding "Xiao Xiao."

At the same time, she also plans to have detailed communication with the Rose Society to clarify the purpose and importance of finding "Xiao Xiao" and ensure that they can go all out.

In addition, she plans to establish an emergency contact mechanism so that she can be informed immediately of any progress.

Ou Fu straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and then resolutely walked out of the office.

She knew that this operation might be fraught with uncertainty, but for the future of the newspaper and for the readers who loved "The Three-Body Problem," she had to try.

So, with confidence in her plan, Ou Fu packed a few things, took a small bag of Mora from the newspaper's public funds as a deposit, and set off towards Baisong Town.
