"Sorry, there's a bit of traffic."

When Li Jing saw Li Dongyang arrive, she quickly got up and helped move the chair.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After interacting with Li Dongyang a few times, she found him to be a very easy person to get along with.

So when they met again, she didn't seem like a stranger at all; on the contrary, she acted as if they were old friends.

The round table wasn't large, and Li Jing gestured for Li Dongyang to sit down.

Three people are sitting in a triangular shape.

After Li Dongyang sat down, he exchanged a glance with Xia Nuan and nodded.

In Li Jing's view, this gesture was nothing more than a greeting.

Once everyone had arrived, Li Jing asked the waiter to bring the menu.

The two of them just ordered this restaurant's signature dish.

It's almost done baking now.

"Screenwriter Li, you'd like to order." Li Jing gestured to the waiter to give the menu to Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang glanced at Xia Nuan, then at the menu, and pushed it towards Li Jing, saying, "Sister Jing, I'm not good at ordering, so you should order."

As soon as Li Dongyang picked up his teacup, he saw Xia Nuan reach out to help him take the teapot and even pour tea for him.

In Li Jing's view, Xia Nuan was aloof and indifferent to men. She would hardly even speak a few words to them, let alone pick up a teapot.

However, she didn't think too much about it. After all, she had always told Xia Nuan to get along well with Li Dongyang, and it seemed that Xia Nuan had finally come to her senses, which should be considered a good thing.

Li Dongyang sees this as a matter of teapots, while Li Jing sees it as a matter of interpersonal relationships.

So she didn't pay much attention to Xia Nuan's unusual behavior.

Li Jing has been in this industry for so many years that she can be considered a shrewd and experienced person.

She viewed Xia Nuan's behavior toward Li Dongyang as a business transaction.

He felt a little smug, thinking that if this girl had been quicker to understand things, she wouldn't have been ostracized.

He glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye and a smile appeared on his lips.

After pouring tea for Li Dongyang, Xia Nuan started eating the snacks on the table.

Her gaze would occasionally fall on Li Dongyang's profile.

Li Jing, who was busy ordering food, naturally didn't notice Xia Nuan's little actions.

"You must have had a tough time doing this promotional campaign, right?"

Xia Nuan picked up her teacup and took a small sip. "I'm used to it now. There's no hardship in it all, as long as I can survive."

"But I really have to thank you for making this new song a huge hit."

After ordering, Li Jing joined the conversation between the two.

"That's right, Nuannuan is right. If it weren't for screenwriter Li writing such good lyrics, I don't know when Nuannuan would have been able to make a comeback."

"Nuan Nuan's current success is inseparable from the excellent lyrics written by screenwriter Li."

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Sister Jing, just call me Dongyang. Calling me Screenwriter Li sounds a bit awkward."

Li Jing was naturally willing to get closer to him and smiled, "Okay, from now on, you'll be called Dongyang."

"I won't say much to thank you, otherwise it would seem too sentimental."

"Keep this card. The PIN is six 8s. Your commission will be deposited into your card regularly every month."

Li Jing took a bank card out of her bag and pushed it in front of Li Dongyang.

This was what they had agreed upon beforehand: 30% of the profits.

Li Jing didn't say how much money was inside.

Li Dongyang smiled modestly and accepted the card.

"Talented horses are common, but discerning judges of horses are rare."

"Isn't this a win-win situation for us?"

"Even if I'm a great songwriter, if I don't meet a good singer, all I write is a bunch of words."

"It is my good fortune to have met Miss Xia."

Li Dongyang was telling the truth; ever since he met Xia Nuan, the gears of his fate had changed.

Li Jing smiled and looked at Li Dongyang, "Those who can write are different; they even speak so pleasantly."

I won't say any more polite words.

"Dongyang, I wanted to ask when you plan to write a new song?"

Li Dongyang paused, then turned his head to look at Xia Nuan.

At this moment, Xia Nuan's expression was very calm and expressionless.

Li Jing continued, "I want to capitalize on the popularity of Nuan Nuan's new song to create another buzz."

Now that he heard this, Li Dongyang understood that the main purpose of inviting him to dinner today was to ask about the new song.

Xia Nuan: "If you're busy, that's fine. Don't force yourself."

Xia Nuan knew that Li Dongyang had taken on a new drama, but she hadn't asked him how far he had progressed and didn't know.

Previously, Li Dongyang had worked so hard writing songs for her that his body couldn't take it anymore, and she didn't want to sacrifice Li Dongyang's health just because she wanted to become famous.

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Writing songs is no problem."

"But I'll have to wait until I finish the script I have on hand first."

He's not the kind of person who would risk his life for money.

Upon receiving Li Dongyang's reply, Li Jing smiled even more broadly.

"Of course, we can discuss the price."

Xia Nuan's song is now ranked number one, with downloads steadily increasing every day, and revenue flowing into Xia Nuan's account like water.

Because this song was signed privately by Xia Nuan without going through a company, she made a fortune. As for signing new songs later, they have plenty of capital.

Li Dongyang agreed to help Xia Nuan write a song, but didn't tell her when exactly.

In addition, Li Dongyang said he would wait until the script he had was finished.

Of course, as long as Li Dongyang agrees, the matter should be settled, and she won't have to worry about Li Dongyang being poached by someone else.

Anyway, that means you've agreed, right?

The dishes were served while we were chatting.

Li Jing ordered all the signature dishes, which looked and smelled delicious.

After all the dishes were served, Li Jing picked up her wine glass and stood up first.

"Screenwriter Li, I'd like to offer you my respects. By the way, when shall we sign the contract?"

Just now Li Jing said there was no rush, but now she's talking about signing a contract.
