Chapter 104: A Secure Job
"That’s about it."
Su Wen finished the recording, put away his phone, and his tone became serious.
"Martial arts is completely different from what you imagined."
"From now on, you will have time to think about martial arts slowly. Of course, I also hope that what you just said about martial arts can become a real reality."
"Du Guowei, I want to start a journal."
"It’s called Martial Arts Monthly, and I would like to invite you to join. Are you willing?"
Du Guowei: "???"
Wait, he was a bit confused.
What he just said had nothing to do with real martial arts at all?
If that’s the case, then why record what he said?
And starting a journal, paired with martial arts involving Supernatural Power, felt strange.
As a student at the Imperial Capital University, he participated last semester in a project organized by his professors, and he had also written corresponding papers.
According to that teacher, his paper was quite good, and he even helped him submit it to a journal, so it might get published.
If it gets published, as long as he doesn’t perform poorly in his grades, getting a recommendation for graduate school shouldn’t be a problem.
But the key point is… supernatural martial arts could somehow connect to journal papers?
This sounded completely absurd!
And what was even more absurd was why this person in front of him, who wanted to start Martial Arts Monthly, wanted him to join?
He had no interest in writing papers at all!
Writing them was truly painful!
He had stayed up late for several nights just to finish that project paper, nearly losing all his hair!
Most importantly, he knew nothing about martial arts. Asking him to join Martial Arts Monthly to write papers or review them would only mislead others!
Martial Arts Monthly!
Such an impressive name!
Were the warriors who could submit to Martial Arts Monthly skilled practitioners?
If he mixed with them without any ability, would he be beaten up on the spot if something went wrong?
"Looking at your expression, you should be willing."
Su Wen nodded slightly and said softly, "Come, sign this agreement, and you will be a part of Martial Arts Monthly."
Hearing this, Du Guowei quickly said, "No, no, no, I didn’t think…"
"You just joined, so you can only be an ordinary editor at Martial Arts Monthly, with a starting monthly salary set at two hundred thousand. As for promotions, that can be negotiated later."
After Su Wen finished speaking, he paused and asked, "What were you not thinking about?"
Du Guowei took a deep breath and said, "I never expected that martial arts could actually connect with academic research. It’s truly incredible!"
"And during my time at school, I helped my teacher complete project tasks and wrote a paper based on the corresponding project, which I submitted to a provincial-level journal. It’s currently under review."
"I feel very interested and passionate about the position of editor at Martial Arts Monthly, and I believe I can do this job well and contribute my strength to Martial Arts Monthly!"
Su Wen chuckled lightly and said, "It’s great that you have this determination. Don’t just talk; look over the agreement and sign it if everything is fine!"
Du Guowei immediately nodded and picked up the agreement, glancing over it lightly.
When he saw that Martial Arts Monthly was a national organization and that its editors were considered public servants, with benefits, retirement funds, and a secure position, he stopped reading any further.
He signed right away!
With such generous conditions, what was there to hesitate about?
Most importantly, since Martial Arts Monthly was just established, joining now meant he would surely get promoted in the future!
Good salary, and a secure job!
The promotion path was clear, and there was hope for the future!
If he didn’t join, his family would probably jump up and slap him awake when they found out.
If his father learned about it, he might even take some ritual items to the ancestral grave to see if the grave was emitting blue smoke.
The Du family finally had a talent to boast about!
"Come on, let’s add each other as friends."
After Du Guowei signed, Su Wen handed over his phone with the QR code.
Du Guowei didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly scanned the QR code.
After signing that name, this person in front of him was not just a top military officer but also his superior!
"This…"
Du Guowei looked at Su Wen’s cute cartoon avatar and couldn’t help but be stunned.
Why did his superior have such an adorable avatar?
"Alright, I’ll have someone send you back shortly."
Su Wen stood up and said, "These days, you should go home and pack your things. In a while, you will start working."
"After you start working, you may not have much time for your own matters!"
"Of course, you will receive overtime pay for working extra hours at Martial Arts Monthly, so you don’t need to worry about that."
Hearing this, Du Guowei’s expression grew serious. "You can rest assured, chief! I will work hard and never disappoint your expectations!"
After Du Guowei left, the God of Theater appeared directly beside Su Wen.
"Sir, aren’t you teaching Little Su anymore?"
"After all, she is the Shadow God, having innate control over shadow techniques, and knowing some basic training information should be enough."
The God of Theater changed the subject and asked, "That kid you were just talking to—do you value him highly?"
Su Wen nodded and said, "Yes, he is a genius!"
The God of Theater’s eyes shifted, and he asked seriously, "The future fate bearer with the character ‘God’?"
"Not exactly."
Su Wen shook his head and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should not be a fate bearer."
"His talent is shown in the field of martial arts research."
Hearing this, the God of Theater nodded slightly and then spoke, "I see! I noticed you’ve had some significant moves in martial arts recently. Is there anything you need my help with?"
Su Wen smiled and said, "I plan to create a Martial Arts Monthly journal to combine national announcements about the Body Refinement Method with some popular science about martial arts and future visions."
"If possible, you can join Martial Arts Monthly later and hold the title of deputy editor."
The God of Theater chuckled lightly and said, "Sure, but since I’m the deputy editor of Martial Arts Monthly, I’ll have to pay a bit more attention to the development of martial arts."
The last experience had led him to considerable progress.
In fact, during his reflections, he vaguely recognized a few loopholes in his Theater World.
Very strong!
So, even if the God of Magic didn’t invite him, he would find an excuse to squeeze in.
For the sake of enlightenment!
No shame in that!
"Just now, the God of Magic from Britain replied; he is very interested in your foundational Body Refinement Technique."
The God of Theater’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "And he is also very interested in you, the God of Wealth."
"Do you want to meet him?"
