Chapter 0855: Fujoshi

"A content creator should have an eye for discovering beauty. What they need to do is develop those shining things, those imperfections, those things where roughness and delicacy are equally exposed, using time and effort, sincerity and attitude, understanding and feeling, to make them more beautiful and better.

Blindly seeking perfection is itself a prejudice; such behavior makes people shallow.

Perfection does not suddenly appear before you. Those near-perfect content ecosystems, besides their industrial attributes, must contain a great deal of emotional component."

When Zhao Fusheng read this passage, his mood was actually quite ordinary, but for some reason, he suddenly calmed down.

Perhaps it was because this passage itself possessed a power that made people quiet.

The address of Future Film and Television Company was actually not far from Future Advertising headquarters, just in a nearby office building.

Originally, according to Zheng Yao's intention, the two companies sharing one office building would have been more than enough; there was no need to move out at all.

But after Dong Chenxi and Bai Jie discussed it, they did not agree to such an arrangement. In their view, since they had become independent, they might as well be thorough, to avoid stirring up any waves within the company.

Zhao Fusheng thought Dong Chenxi and Bai Jie's considerations were very reasonable, so he had Zheng Yao agree to their request.

The new company's environment was not bad; overall, there was actually no change. Even the employees were still the same people. When the receptionist saw Zhao Fusheng, she revealed a smile: "Teacher Zhao, you're here."

"Mm, Xiao Xue has gotten prettier again." Zhao Fusheng nodded with a smile, teased her, and then walked upstairs.

Dong Chenxi's office was on the fifth floor. Although it was Zhao Fusheng's first time there, in his eyes there was certainly no such word as 'politeness,' so after finding out where Dong Chenxi's office was, he barged straight in.

And then...

Of course, nothing happened.

Although Dong Chenxi was looking at something in front of the computer, when she saw Zhao Fusheng enter, she appeared quite calm. She glanced at Zhao Fusheng: "What are you here for?"

"To see if there's anything I can help with." Zhao Fusheng grinned and said to Dong Chenxi with a smile: "What are you looking at?"

When he came in, Dong Chenxi was indeed looking at something, and it was absolutely not a proper company document—Zhao Fusheng was one hundred percent sure of that.

"Just a post." Dong Chenxi blinked, clearly not intending to discuss this topic with Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "Tch, ten to one it's something inappropriate."

He just said it casually, but unexpectedly, Dong Chenxi's face flushed red instantly. She seemed quite flustered, waving her hand at Zhao Fusheng: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? Who's looking at inappropriate stuff? I was just browsing, just browsing."

Well, seeing her reaction, Zhao Fusheng immediately laughed.

At first he was a bit puzzled, but after a moment's thought, he glanced at Dong Chenxi but said nothing.

Dong Chenxi took a deep breath. She knew very well what Zhao Fusheng was thinking; if she didn't explain, he would definitely think she was looking at inappropriate things during work hours.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Bai Jie hurried in and said to Dong Chenxi: "Chenxi, it's updated, it's updated..."

Before she could finish, she saw Zhao Fusheng sitting on the sofa and choked back the rest of her words.

"Uh, Fusheng, you're here too." Bai Jie said awkwardly.

"Yeah, just arrived." Zhao Fusheng nodded and smiled: "What's up? Are you two following a TV series or a novel?"

Tilting his head in thought, he continued: "It can't be a TV series, so it must be a novel. Is it a serial?"

At this time, there were indeed some serialized novels on the internet, mostly published on forums. Many famous online writers rose to fame during this period.

It seemed that what Dong Chenxi and Bai Jie were reading was probably this kind of novel.

"Ahem, well..."

Both Bai Jie and Dong Chenxi blushed when faced with Zhao Fusheng's question. They looked at each other, neither willing to speak.

"What's the big deal? It's just reading a novel, perfectly normal." Zhao Fusheng frowned slightly, a bit puzzled.

The comment about browsing inappropriate websites was purely a joke. Both of them were single now and didn't need to care about others' opinions. As long as they weren't doing anything lesbian-like in the company, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't interfere.

Besides, two women together were better than two men together, right?

Wait!

Holy shit!

A flash of insight suddenly struck Zhao Fusheng's mind. He stared at Dong Chenxi and Bai Jie in surprise.

Could they be... fujoshi?

A bold guess popped into his mind, and Zhao Fusheng suddenly felt that everything could be explained.

There was no help for it; he lived in an age of information explosion. Although the term 'fujoshi' was far from the middle-aged Zhao Fusheng, it didn't stop him from understanding what it meant.

Fujoshi, simply put, refers to women who like male-male relationships. Of course, it doesn't mean they have psychological issues; it's just that their preferences are a bit unconventional.

Zhao Fusheng neither endorsed nor opposed such groups. After all, at his age, he had become indifferent to many things.

"Ahem, well, you go ahead and read. I'll go take a walk outside." Having figured out what was going on, Zhao Fusheng suddenly felt a bit awkward. After all, this was their personal privacy. He had been joking but accidentally hit the mark—it was too awkward.

"What walk are you taking?"

Bai Jie, after all, was a bit older than Dong Chenxi, in other words, a bit thicker-skinned. She quickly recovered and said to Zhao Fusheng: "Sit down. There's something I want to tell you."

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback: "What is it?"

He was a bit puzzled—how did she suddenly have something to tell him?

Bai Jie and Dong Chenxi exchanged a glance. Dong Chenxi hesitated and looked at Bai Jie. Clearly, Dong Chenxi was the passive one in this matter, while Bai Jie was the initiator.

"It's like this. Chenxi and I came across a book online."

Taking a deep breath, as if to muster courage, Bai Jie hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking to Zhao Fusheng: "The content of this book is mainly about the feelings between two men. To be precise, it's very well written, very beautiful..."

Zhao Fusheng blinked. He felt that this sounded familiar. What was going on?
