After reading through the one hundred thousand-word manuscript, Gong Mingxia was shocked. Not only was she surprised by Meng Xiuying's writing ability, but also by the fact that Meng had added many foundations to the original work and hadn't simply followed her lead. Instead, Meng infused her thoughts into the story, which deeply moved Gong Mingxia and made her increasingly feel guilty about keeping fifty percent of the profits.
For the next book, she decided she couldn't take advantage of Meng again; she would have to reduce her share to thirty or forty percent.
