Chapter 738
Because of Ye Xuan's repost, the personal follower count of the Weibo account 【I Am Crazy for Journey to the West】 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 handbook for power struggles.
If one were to compare *Journey to the West* to a private enterprise.
Tang Seng, as the emperor's sworn brother, 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 using 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; the remaining various tribulations were all blocked by his few disciples, truly taking the concept of a leader who only needs to know how to talk and draw big 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, and later, when he was disobedient, he acted both innocent and pitiful, making Sun Wukong put on the Tight-Fillet Spell that could never be removed, using him in the palm of his hand for a lifetime to do things for himself, very much like the style of a profit-seeking villain.
Yet, in times of peace, he is relatively closer to Zhu Bajie, only because he is better at flattering and saying nice things, allowing him to obtain a trace of high-and-mighty pleasure on the long journey; I truly despise this kind of person the most.
Conversely, he fails to treat Sha Seng, who is diligent and taciturn, with equality; he sees his hard work in his eyes, yet he never pays him much attention.
Such a leader only needs Sha Seng to work, not even wanting to hear him defend himself with a single word, which is truly disheartening for his subordinates.
Although Tang Seng is selfish and likes to take credit, he can still succeed in the end.
It is nothing more than the fact that he holds the lifeline of Sun Wukong in his hands, with people like Sha Seng who are steady and willing to work supporting him from below, ensuring his safe arrival all the way.
Let's talk about Sun Wukong again; a person with such superior strength should not have ended up in this private organization.
Unfortunately, despite his powerful skills, because he didn't know how to guard against the human heart, he was eventually tricked by his respected master, and it was even euphemistically called giving him a lesson; he must certainly have been angry in his heart.
However, immediately after, Tang Seng drew a big 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.
And Zhu Bajie, in this private enterprise, has poor ability and is lazy and slippery in his work; during this pilgrimage process, he mentioned the proposal to break up a total of nine times.
People like this in an enterprise who are gluttonous and lazy, and specialize in picking fights, are good for nothing except flattering the leader, yet they can have a very good position in the enterprise; it is truly a representative of great unfairness.
And a good person like Sha Seng who is honest and willing to work should be considered popular in an enterprise, but in reality, because of his way of conducting himself, he doesn't bring up any opinions to the leader, let alone whisper to colleagues.
Even if he is willing to endure hardship and work hard, he still cannot gain the liking of his colleagues or the appreciation of his leader.
There is no other reason; it is just that this person didn't want to go on the pilgrimage properly in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had to go on the pilgrimage after being demoted to restore his original life, perhaps this Tight-Fillet Spell would have to be 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, this boss, having a well-connected person in the company who can solve problems when they arise is the greatest use.
After such a long interpretation, the netizens were completely dumbfounded.
"I am also someone who has read *Journey to the West* twice; why can't I interpret it at this level? No wonder it could get a 'like' from the original author; if it were me, I would 'like' it too."
"I originally thought *Journey to the West* was a book of justice about slaying demons and eliminating monsters; now it seems it is actually a dark side of workplace intrigue."
"Having seen this interpretation get the approval of Mr. Ye Xuan, does that mean that this *Journey to the West* written by Mr. Ye Xuan means exactly this, intending to expose the dark side within the organization and reveal the realism? He is truly brave."
"After having this conclusion, I went to read *Journey to the West* again and was finally convinced by Mr. Ye Xuan's solid skills. In this world, only he can write such a profoundly meaningful work; he is not a human, because he is a god."
"Mr. Ye Xuan, I suggest the fans crowdfund to buy insurance for your head. Ours are just human heads, but yours is a head of wisdom that can always point us in the right direction. I hope you stay well."

Director Yang Le, who had been talking a lot, finally discovered that Mr. Ye Xuan was looking down at his phone.
He cast his gaze toward Gao Hu on the side, who was also playing with his phone. Curious, he walked over to take a look and discovered that Weibo was full of discussions about *Journey to the West*.
Especially after seeing the remarks in that little article, 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 exactly 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 are already praising this little netizen. Be careful that Mr. Ye Xuan won't give you any 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 view 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 just said Mr. Ye Xuan is not a narrow-minded person. Then I will 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 turned back and said sheepishly.
"Um, Mr. Ye Xuan, do you really have no objections?"
Waving his hand at him indifferently, Ye Xuan said with a calm and composed expression.
"You just go ahead and busy yourself with your affairs; I still have my own proper business to attend to."
After pondering for a while, to avoid being criticized for abusing power for personal gain, Ye Xuan specifically suggested in front of Editor-in-Chief Gao Hu.
"Um, right, Director Yang, I have a candidate for the Peacock Princess to recommend; it 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 didn't have the slightest objection, it made Yang Le feel a bit embarrassed. Now, hearing this suggestion of his, he made a final decision on the spot.
"Good, since Mr. Ye Xuan says she fits, I will immediately go contact Gao Yuanyuan's agent to discuss the contract, and I guarantee I will handle this small matter perfectly." Ten.
