The atmosphere between the two didn't last long before Yi Yang's phone rang.

This saved the day, and Yi Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

I quickly took out my phone to check, and it was an unknown number calling.

At that moment, I didn't care about anything else and just pressed and swiped the answer button.

"Hello...who are you looking for?"

"Hello, are you Yi Yang, the screenwriter of 'Drug War'?"

Upon hearing the question from the other end, Yi Yang composed himself.

Yes, that is me.

"Hello, this is the script solicitation team of the Cultural and Broadcasting Bureau. My name is Ou Haoxin. I'm calling to inform you that your script 'Drug War' has been selected and will enter the final evaluation stage."

"Oh, okay, thank you..."

Yi Yang was very happy to hear the news. Just when he thought it was just a notification, he heard something else.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"Oh...you go ahead."

This statement also piqued Yi Yang's curiosity.

"Here's the thing, a leader read your script and thought it was very good. Even if it's not ultimately selected, he'd like to discuss buying it from you."

"Forehead......"

Yi Yang felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this. Was this the same as the scenic area, where they were trying to get a big bargain for a small price?

Why do people like to use this kind of trick nowadays?

As if sensing Yi Yang's thoughts, the other party continued, "You can rest assured, the price will not be much lower than the bounty amount. You can weigh it yourself before making a decision."

After saying this, Yi Yang probably realized he had overthought things; the other person was much more straightforward in their dealings.

It's like taking out an insurance policy for yourself. Even if you're not selected in the end, you'll still make money, so what else is there to worry about?

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome. That's all for now! Someone will contact you later. Goodbye!"

"goodbye"

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang turned around and found that both of them were looking at him.

Even Leba, who had just lowered her head in embarrassment, was blinking her big eyes, looking like a curious child.

"What's going on? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Yi Yang was unaware that his phone was leaking sound, and the two people on the other end had overheard a few of the conversations, which was why they were looking at him.

Although Yi Qin didn't hear it completely, she still accurately caught the words "script".

It was mainly out of curiosity; I couldn't quite understand my own younger brother.

He used to be so quiet and reserved, but now he's suddenly bursting with energy, writing novels and screenplays all the time.

He immediately asked, "Little Yang, who made that call just now? I overheard something about a script. What have you been up to that I don't know about?"

"Forehead...."

This question stumped Yi Yang. "How can you hear this? What a crappy phone. I'll get a new one right away."

Can't we have any privacy at all?

But seeing the two incredibly curious women in front of him, he had nothing to hide and told them about the bounty.

After hearing this, Leba immediately chimed in, "I know, I know..."

It turns out that Yang Qingxue's company had also received a notification about this matter, and Leba had also seen it in the company group chat.

Jiaxue Media simply didn't have any screenwriters of this type, so they gave up on it.

Now that Leba has heard that Yi Yang quietly submitted a script and even made it to the final stage, she admires Yi Yang even more.

Forget about being shy, she exclaimed, "Brother Yi Yang is so awesome..." with stars practically sparkling in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yi Yang was extremely pleased with himself.

Yi Qin watched the two from the side. She didn't know if the man had feelings for her, but the concubine definitely did.

It was almost noon when Yi Qin's eyes lit up and she came up with an idea.

"Little Yang, you've been busy at home for a week now, go out for a walk and get some exercise."

After saying that, he gestured to Yi Yang and then said, "I have some things to do later. You can take Le Ba with you and have lunch first."

Yi Yang had obviously seen his older sister's little trick. He hesitated for a moment. The heat outside was secondary; the main thing was that if he didn't start writing soon, he wouldn't have any drafts to publish tomorrow.

But when I saw the expectant look in Leba Blin's big eyes, I couldn't refuse, so I had to work late into the night.

He nodded and replied, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Leba's face broke into a wide smile, her eyes crinkling with joy.

After Yi Yang got up and took Le Ba out, Yi Qin muttered to herself, "Little Yang, don't let your sister down! If you can't even get to eat such a beautiful cabbage, you'll really be a pig."

As soon as I stepped out of the building, a wave of heat hit me.

Leba took a folding umbrella directly from the small bag she was carrying.

"Brother Yi Yang, I have an umbrella here."

As he spoke, he handed it to Yi Yang, his meaning not too obvious.

Yi Yang was certainly not some clueless straight man who was completely oblivious to romance; after receiving it, he naturally stood up and supported himself.

When Leba saw this, she was overjoyed and skipped around as she walked.

Walking in the residential area, Yi Yang held an umbrella, glancing around from the corner of his eye from time to time. Le Ba, on the other hand, was just a curious child, turning her head back and forth to look around.

From a distance, it looks like a young couple on a date.

The little kid in the neighborhood was standing at the entrance of the grocery store, licking an ice cream cone. As soon as he saw Yi Yang, he immediately turned around and shouted into the store.

"Mom, Mom, Brother Yang brought his girlfriend home..."

The sound was so loud that it echoed, drawing several people out of the small shop.

They stood at the door, pointing and gesturing.

After shouting, the little kid went back to focusing on the ice cream in his hand.

Yi Yang was quite helpless. This little brat, last time he spread the story in the neighborhood that he had been beaten up by Yi Qin, and now he's doing it again.

He's really my nemesis! Looks like I'll have to find a chance to ambush him and beat his ass to a pulp.

Hearing this, Leba laughed heartily, seemingly unbothered by being called Yi Yang's girlfriend, and even moved a little closer.

Now, even a fool can see it.

If Yi Yang were to start now, his success rate would be over 90%.

But there are several people watching now, all of them neighbors. Even if Yi Yang has a thick skin, he wouldn't dare to make a move right now. Wouldn't that just give the old folks something to talk about?

Once they were outside the residential complex, Yi Yang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to ask, "Le Ba, is there anything you want to eat?"

"I'm not picky about food, as long as there's no pork, it's fine."

It was only then that Yi Yang remembered that the young woman in front of him was from an ethnic minority.
