Chapter 387

Thinking this in his heart, he also did it with his hands; not only did he "like" the post, but he also followed the user back.

Just as he was about to put his phone away, he felt it was a real pity for such a good viewpoint to go unseen by others.

Consequently, Ye Xuan picked up his phone again to repost the short essay and added a few words of commentary.

"Thank you to netizen [I Am Crazy for Journey to the West] for the high praise. This viewpoint is very sharp and the angle is quite unique. I wish you a smooth career path."

Ye Xuan always forgets his own influence; this unintentional act of his instantly triggered a crowd of tens of millions of netizens to watch.

After all, a short essay praised by Ye Xuan himself must certainly have its merits and points worth learning from, which also made all those fans who adore Ye Xuan scramble over to see what it was all about.

Because of Ye Xuan's repost, the personal follower count of [I Am Crazy for Journey to the West] on Weibo instantly increased by several million.

All because of the viewpoint he published.

Once you see through "Journey to the West," you will find it is nothing more than a manual for power struggles.

If one were to compare "Journey to the West" to a private enterprise.

Tang Seng, as the sworn brother of the national leader, is undoubtedly the head of this private enterprise; he looks like a gentle and humble good leader.

In reality, he is a boss who is adept at manipulating people's hearts to achieve his goals.

Of the eighty-one tribulations on the way to the Western Heaven, only the Kingdom of Women required Tang Seng to personally refuse; for the rest of the hardships, his disciples helped block the blades and bullets. He truly took the art of being a leader who only knows how to talk and paint grand pictures to the extreme.

Look at how he first used the favor of saving Sun Wukong from the Five Elements Mountain to coerce him into protecting him on the pilgrimage. Later, when Sun Wukong was disobedient, he acted both innocent and pitiful, making Sun Wukong wear the Tight-Fillet Spell that could never be removed, keeping him in the palm of his hand for a lifetime to do his bidding—it is exactly the style of a profit-seeking villain.

Yet when there was nothing to do, he would be closer to Zhu Bajie, simply because he was better at flattering and saying nice things, allowing him to gain a sense of superiority on the long, arduous journey. I truly despise such people.

Conversely, he could not treat Sha Seng, who was diligent and quiet, with equal respect; he saw his hard work but never paid him much attention.

Such a leader only needs Sha Seng to do the work and doesn't even want to hear a single word of his defense; it is truly disheartening for subordinates.

Although Tang Seng is selfish and loves to take credit, he still succeeds in the end.

It is nothing more than him holding the lifeline of Sun Wukong and having steady, hardworking people like Sha Seng supporting him from below, ensuring his safe arrival.

Now let's talk about Sun Wukong; a person with such superior strength should not have ended up in this private organization.

Unfortunately, despite his powerful abilities, because he didn't know how to guard against human hearts, he was eventually sabotaged by his respected Master, who even gave it the high-sounding name of "teaching him a lesson." He must have been resentful deep down.

However, Tang Seng immediately painted another grand picture for him, telling him that once successful, he would remove the Tight-Fillet Spell and grant him fame and fortune. Driven by sufficient benefits, he was naturally willing to help slay demons and eliminate monsters.

As for Zhu Bajie, in this private enterprise, his ability is lacking, and he is lazy and slippery in his work; during the pilgrimage, he suggested breaking up the team a total of nine times.

Someone like this who is gluttonous and lazy in a company, specializing in stirring up trouble, is useless for anything other than flattering the leader, yet he can hold a good position in the company; he is truly a representative of unfairness.

And as for a good-natured person like Sha Seng who is honest and hardworking, he should be popular in a company, but in reality, because of his way of conducting himself, he never raises any opinions to the leader, let alone gossiping with colleagues.

Even if he is willing to endure hardship and work hard, he still cannot gain the affection of his colleagues or the appreciation of his leader.

The reason is none other than that this person didn't want to go on the pilgrimage in his heart; if it weren't for the fact that he had to go on the pilgrimage after being demoted to restore his former life, perhaps this Tight-Fillet Spell would have been placed on his head.

After all, people who are indifferent to everything are harder to control than those who love freedom.

Finally, let's talk about the White Dragon Horse; throughout the entire pilgrimage process, he only appeared once to resolve a crisis, and his presence can be said to be very low.

Perhaps for Tang Seng, the boss, having a well-connected person in the company who can solve problems when they arise is his greatest use.

After such a long interpretation, the netizens were completely dumbfounded.

"I've also read Journey to the West twice, so why couldn't I interpret it at this level? No wonder it could get a 'like' from the original author; I'd 'like' it too if I were him."

"I originally thought Journey to the West was a righteous book about slaying demons and eliminating monsters; now it seems it's actually a dark book about workplace intrigue."

"Having seen this interpretation get the approval of Mr. Ye Xuan, does that mean the Journey to the West written by Mr. Ye Xuan means exactly this? Intending to expose the darkness within organizations and reveal realism—he's truly brave."

"After this conclusion, I'm going to read Journey to the West again. I'm finally convinced by Mr. Ye Xuan's solid skills. Only he in this world could write such a profound work; he is not human, because he is a god."

"Mr. Ye Xuan, I suggest fans crowdfund to buy insurance for your head. Ours are just human heads, but yours is a head of wisdom that can always guide us in the right direction. I hope you stay well."

Director Yang Le, who had been talking a lot, finally noticed that Mr. Ye Xuan was looking down at his phone.

He cast his gaze toward Gao Hu, who was also playing on his phone. Curious, he walked over to take a look and found that Weibo was full of discussions about "Journey to the West."

Especially when he saw the remarks in that short essay, Yang Le shouted excitedly.

"This person, to be able to understand Journey to the West so thoroughly, seems to be a talent. I must find him and have him come to our crew to give the actors a lesson. I am in need of such talent right now."

Gao Hu glared at him and whispered a reminder.

"The original author, Mr. Ye Xuan, is still here, and you're praising this little netizen. Be careful that Mr. Ye Xuan won't give you any more pointers."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for Ye Xuan, who was sitting not far away, to hear. He looked up and smiled brightly.

"It's fine. There are a hundred ways to view Journey to the West for a hundred people. It's just that this person's perspective is really quite sharp. Being able to see this realism through the process of slaying demons and eliminating monsters is very good. It can be considered as having grasped a bit of my thinking; he is a very good person."

Hearing this, Yang Le said even more anxiously.

"I said Mr. Ye Xuan is not a narrow-minded person. Then I'll go contact this netizen now and have him come to explain it to us."

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Yang Le looked back and said sheepishly.

"Um, Mr. Ye Xuan, do you really have no objections?"

Waving his hand dismissively at him, Ye Xuan said with a calm and indifferent expression.

"You just go ahead and busy yourself with your affairs; I have my own proper work to do."

After pondering for a moment, to avoid being criticized for abusing his power for personal gain, Ye Xuan specifically suggested to Gao Hu and Editor-in-Chief Bai.

"Hmm, right, Director Yang, I have a candidate for the Peacock Princess to recommend, which is Gao Yuanyuan, who previously played Zhou Zhiruo. I personally feel her temperament fits very well; you can also contact her privately to ask."

Now that he was going to find someone else to explain Journey to the West and Mr. Ye Xuan had no objections, Yang Le felt a bit embarrassed. Now, hearing this suggestion, he made a decision on the spot.

"Good, since Mr. Ye Xuan says she fits, I will contact Gao Yuanyuan's agent immediately to discuss the contract. I guarantee I will handle this small matter perfectly." Ten.
