Only Landon's senior executives and the entire editing team behind the scenes who served him were present.

"Lee, your new work is fascinating. I fell asleep holding it last night."

Li Zhenyu was not surprised at all to be recognized by Madeline McIntosh.

The release of "The Hunger Games" was already very smooth, not to mention the bonus of his identity and the previous work.

After humbly expressing his gratitude to the other party, Li Zhenyu took over the contract that Zhao Xianzhu had confirmed.

He signed his name in the signature column with a flourish.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

With their hands clenched, everyone present smiled with joy and thunderous applause broke out.

"We should take some pictures now. Where is the camera?"

Someone suggested taking a photo to record this beautiful moment.

After looking him in the eye for advice, Madeline asked her assistant to bring the camera.

"Everyone, please look at the camera..."

Snap!

The tall and handsome Li Zhenyu and the wise Madeline, who wore thick glasses, were surrounded by the crowd and took this meaningful new photo.

“I’ll frame it and put it in my office.”

After the signing was completed, Landon prepared a sumptuous cold buffet in the conference room, which was very much in the style of the 1960s and 1970s.

People always liked to do this at that time, drinking strong whiskey while enjoying delicious food.

During this period, the business was naturally concluded.

"Li, where does your creative inspiration come from? I know you don't want to face the media, but you should at least give me some stories to tell."

Madeleine has accepted that he is reluctant to face the public appearance in the media.

But at least you have to have a story to tell that can add color to your work.

We can’t tell readers that he is a handsome man with eight-pack abs? ! “The inspiration for the story comes from ancient Greece…”

Having told the whole story, the dinner is over and it’s time to get down to business.

The sales of "Fifty Shades of Grey" broke through the 2 million mark. This number made Langdon anxious. The previous bet conditions might really reach 5 million copies one day.

If true, it would also be a big event for Langdon to celebrate.

Although, you have to give up one point in terms of interests.

But compared with the overall benefits and the positive influence and reputation it brought to Landon, that little money was nothing.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey", which was "unpopular", became a hit thanks to Landon's operation and recommendation.

From now on, will anyone be able to refuse its invitation?

When Li Zhenyu left Langdon, he had an extra 2.7 million in copyright income in his account.

"This is a reward for you. Use it to buy some gifts. You can't go home empty-handed after coming here."

Zhao Xianzhu, who was about to get in the car, respectfully took the $1,000 check from her boss and said, "Thank you, boss. I will use the money well."

"Well, go ahead!"

After closing the car door, Li Zhenyu told the driver, "Upper West Side, One Morton Square."

"plum?"

In the lobby of the apartment, Li Zhenyu once again ran into Lydia Hearst, the daughter of the media empire.

"Lidya, we meet again."

After saying hello, Li Zhenyu turned his gaze to the girl next to her.

"Who is this?"

"Amanda, my cousin."

Amanda Hearst, the first heir to the Hearst Group.

She has a charming appearance and is very approachable.

Lydia has a delicate and small facial feature, which makes her look very aggressive. Amanda is different, she has the elegant and graceful temperament of a socialite.

Academically, as a top student at Boston University, she is the epitome of a socialite who combines both beauty and talent.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Amanda."

"plum?"

Letting go of his broad, strong hand, Amanda looked at her cousin with a half-smile: "I often hear Lydia mention you, saying that you are a handsome and funny person."

"Really? Thank God, I didn't leave a bad impression."

Li Zhenyu said humorously, "Are you guys...going to attend a banquet?"

Delia wore a slim-fitting orange floor-length evening dress and custom-made letter earrings from a niche brand.

There was a translucent and glowing pearl necklace hanging around her neck, which contrasted beautifully with her fair and clean skin. For a moment, it was hard to tell which one was better.

Amanda wore a light purple one-shoulder fishtail dress, which exposed her legs, which were not as long as those of a supermodel but still looked long.

Her skin was not as white as snow like her cousin Lydia's, but it was the 'correct' color of the most popular tan.

In the middle of the thin chain on her chest hung an amber hexagonal gem, which matched her skin tone very well.

"Yes, the Upper East Side socialite party is a gathering for women only."

"Paris's Afternoon Tea Party for Ladies."

After hearing Amanda Hearst's explanation, Li Zhenyu asked in surprise: "Paris Hilton."

"Who else but her?"

Lydia's tone was a little unhappy, it seemed that she also wanted to sit on the position of the top socialite in the East District.

"Have fun."

"Thanks…"

Lydia took out a brand new silver iPhone 3G S and handed it to him: "Leave me your number. Are you worried that Big Ivan will know?"

A typical provocation, Li Zhenyu smiled, entered the number, and pressed the call button.

Buzz~ He took out his cell phone and shook it, "Got it. See you next time."

After he walked away, Amanda pulled Lydia, who was still looking back, and said, "Don't think about it. He's gone far away."

"I know it's going to be fun to meet you next time."

Hearing the abnormality in her tone, Amanda said worriedly, "Don't mess around. Your family already has a bad impression of you."

It would be fine if she didn't obey her family's arrangements and followed Paris into the entertainment industry.

She chose to make her debut in Vogue magazine, which was owned by her family's arch-enemy, Newhouse. This caused quite a stir at home at the time.

Until now, my grandfather still feels upset about this.

Hearst Group and Condé Nast, owned by the Newhouse family, are true rivals.

The two companies were engaged in intrigue in the media field, and no one knows how much money they fought over.

Now, as the heir to the family, Delia suddenly debuted in a rival fashion magazine and appeared on the cover of the magazine.

This was like a loud slap in the face to my grandfather.

Not kicking Lydia out of the house was already a special favor.

It was more out of guilt towards her mother, "If Patty hadn't been kidnapped and brainwashed, maybe Lydia would have been like a normal person."

These are the exact words my grandfather said when he came out of the study that day.

Behind him, Patty Hearst, who had become a marginal figure in the family, listened expressionlessly to the humiliation from her father.

Who caused her daughter to get into trouble and inherit her own 'Hearst's crazy blood'?
