Then he took Yan Xici's hand and walked towards the seats in front.
"I had a great chat with Zhang Chuan yesterday, so I woke up a little late today." Si Yingying finished speaking and then couldn't help but ask with concern, "How are you? Did they give you a hard time just now?"
“It’s nothing,” the girl shook her head.
It's not that I'm in a difficult position, it's just that I don't like myself.
However, it's normal that not everyone likes you, since you're not a hundred-dollar bill.
"You're lying, did someone say something about you?" Si Yingying looked completely convinced.
This person's face was practically stretched out on the table.
How could there be nothing at all?
"It's okay, I'm ready. After all, compared to being with the person I love, these things are nothing!" Yan Xici pursed her lips and said seriously.
That's definitely what she thinks.
As the old saying goes, life is full of disappointments, and compared to Xiao Ran, he has really had a tough time.
There's nothing she can't face!
Since sitting down, Wang Kai's eyes have never left Yan Xici.
Humans are truly strange animals.
To be honest, he also couldn't quite understand himself.
Why is it that after she spoke out about this, I actually felt more favorably toward her?
I even felt a desire to protect her.
Chen Nan, standing next to Wang Kai, looked at him with surprise and asked, "Bro, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Xici is indeed very outstanding; she has excellent grades and is exceptionally beautiful.
But she's already so openly dating her ex-brother-in-law, surely no one still has any ulterior motives towards her?
Upon hearing this, Wang Kai blinked and said, "It's nothing."
It's not exactly something to be proud of to fall for someone who already has a boyfriend.
However, if I could make her my girlfriend, that would be a different story, right?
......
Over here, Xiao Ran is sitting in a coffee shop introducing his book to people from Jiaxing Media, with editor Time sitting next to him.
Having learned from his first experience, he was noticeably more relaxed this time.
To be honest, since it was Sister Honey who had her eye on the book, they were just responsible for signing the contract, so naturally they wouldn't have any further objections.
So it went very smoothly, and within just twenty minutes we were ready to start signing the contract.
Just as I was holding the pen in my hand, the phone rang.
Xiao Ran quickly said, "Excuse me, I need to take this call first."
I took out my phone, looked at the incoming call, and couldn't help but be surprised.
It was none other than Liu Min!
He couldn't help but twitch his brow. Why was Liu Min calling him?
Wasn't the matter from last time already resolved?
Thinking it over, he pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Sister Liu." Xiao Ran smiled.
"Teacher Xiao, is this a convenient time? If it is, let's meet up. I'll treat you to breakfast." Liu Min's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
To be honest, she didn't call to treat Xiao Ran to something to eat; it was about copyright!
Just last night, Director Zhang stayed up all night to finish reading Xiao Ran's new book and thought it was very good. This morning, he even gave himself a task.
First, secure the copyright for this book!
His intuition told him that if this book were adapted, it would definitely be popular with many young viewers.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled apologetically, "I've already eaten breakfast, so please just tell me what's on your mind."
Having known Liu Min for so long, I'm quite familiar with her character. When she calls me, it's definitely not something as simple as just asking for breakfast.
“Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point. Director Zhang wants to continue working with you. In other words, he wants me to discuss the copyright of that book, ‘The Girl Next Door Fell From the Sky,’ with you,” Liu Min said readily.
Xiao Ran was taken aback.
Good grief, what's going on here?
I'm about to sign the contract, and they're telling me I have to buy the copyright?
Although I really wanted to work with Liu Min instead, the problem is, I've already agreed to this with Sister Mi.
Moreover, they actually poured nine Platinum Alliances into it.
Her superpowers also played a part in the book's success.
If I'm not happy about it now, Sister Mi will probably get angry.
Seeing that Xiao Ran remained silent, Liu Min subconsciously became a little nervous. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Why did they suddenly stop talking when they were having such a good conversation?
Xiao Ran looked at the screenwriter from Jiaxing Media sitting opposite him, couldn't help but swallow hard, stood up, and turned to walk towards the restroom.
Then he spoke up: "Sis, well, I was already ready to sign the contract, it's probably a bit too late for you to say this now..."
To be honest, although I am very grateful for Liu Min's appreciation, Sister Mi has also been really good to me.
Moreover, it was Sister Mi who first took a liking to this book, and everything was already agreed upon.
Going back on your word now would indeed be a bit unfair.
"And there's another problem. Didn't you contact Seven O'Clock? I signed this book with Seven O'Clock."
This is also a very crucial issue.
I have a contract with 7 o'clock; once it's published, I have to contact the platform first. Telling myself that doesn't really help much.
Liu Min on the other end never dreamed that someone would contact Xiao Ran before her, and she was completely surprised.
"Wait a minute, Teacher Xiao, who are you signing a contract with?"
She desperately wanted to know who was stealing the copyright from iQiyi.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran, who was on the phone, blinked.
