Chapter Eight: I almost forgot I had a younger sister.



"Drink the hell out of here!"

Happy divorce!

"Yes, happy divorce!"

The four people raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

After downing a glass of wine, Zhang Chuan started talking, "Which book did you revise? I told you you were good back then, so what do you think? I had good taste, right?"

Actually, he was quite happy for Xiao Ran. Back in the dormitory, he would work on his books until midnight every day. Now that he had an adaptation, all those years of hard work hadn't been in vain.

Xu Cheng laughed along, "Yeah, I can brag about it to people later, 'Have you seen this TV series? My buddy wrote it!'"

This is probably the best news I've heard in the last few days.

Xiao Ran pursed his lips, his expression somewhat awkward, "Um... my CEO wife."

It's obvious who the prototype for this book is.

Noticing the change in Xiao Ran's expression, the sensible Yan Xici quickly smoothed things over, "I don't think it matters which book it is, after all, all of my brother's books are good! It's a good thing that they can be adapted!!!"

Besides, even though we're divorced now, wasn't that written before?

What's the big deal? Getting a chance to adapt something is something many people envy!

She didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Selling the copyright means my brother-in-law's fame will also increase, which is a great thing.

After the girl finished speaking, she stood up and poured everyone a glass of wine. Then, she raised her glass and smiled brightly, "This second glass is to celebrate my brother-in-law's successful adaptation!"

Looking at the wine glass in Yan Xici's hand, Xiao Ran felt somewhat uneasy.

"Why would a girl drink alcohol? Let's switch to juice."

This was the first time in three years that he had seen Yan Xici drink alcohol, and he was really worried that she would drink too much again.

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly hid the cup behind her back and explained guiltily, "Oh, I'm just having a good time, so I'll only have a little bit, not too much."

Although she doesn't usually drink any alcohol, today is her brother-in-law's big day, and she absolutely has to have a drink on such an important occasion!

Xiao Ran glared at her, "Are you being disobedient?"

Zhang Chuan couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain to Xiao Ran, "Hey, you're already a junior in college, it's okay to have a little drink, you're just old-fashioned."

Xu Cheng also advised, "That's right, Xi Ci is an adult now, don't always treat her like a child."

We're all family here, what's wrong with having a few drinks? It's all about having fun, so let's do whatever makes us happy.

Hearing someone speak up for her, the girl nodded in agreement, "That's right, brother. I'm not a child anymore. I'll be 20 years old soon."

After saying that, she stretched out her little hand and gestured above her head, then placed it on Xiao Ran's shoulder, saying, "Look, I'm so tall now."

Seeing her adorable expression, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, "Okay, just a little bit, you can't drink too much."

Oh well, we're at home after all, let her be.

With permission granted, the girl happily picked up her glass, like a sparrow hopping about in a threshing ground.

"Come on, let's drink!"

......

Inside the villa, Yan Li lay on the sofa, holding her phone in one hand, and said weakly, "So, you were rejected?"

She had just finished her divorce party and had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

My stomach feels a bit upset right now, and my head is spinning.

I was just getting ready to go to bed when Wang Meng called to tell me that the copyright purchase had failed.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Meng sounded apologetic, "I'm sorry, President Yan, it's my fault for not handling things properly."

Wang Meng is considered one of Yan Li's older colleagues, having followed her for several years.

She has a great eye for talent, excelling in both script selection and joke selection, which has also generated considerable wealth for the company.

This mistake was so inexplicable that even she herself hadn't expected it.

Yan Li cleared her throat. "What's the reason for your refusal?"

She also couldn't understand why anyone would refuse a copyright fee of three million.

"Aiqi also had her eye on this script, but Aiqi's offer wasn't as high as ours, yet the other party chose Aiqi without hesitation..."

Wang Meng couldn't figure out the reason either. When she asked Shi Guang, he only said it was the author's intention and that he had to respect the author's choice.

"To be honest, this author is only a level 5 writer, not even close to being a top-tier author. How could such an author refuse a three million yuan copyright fee?"

"It is indeed a bit puzzling. I also asked Shiguang if I could meet with the author to talk, but Shiguang said that the other party's attitude was very firm and advised me not to waste my time."

It wasn't hard to hear Wang Meng's confusion in her tone.

This is a classic case of dying before even getting started; he was rejected before he even met the author.

"Oh?" Yan Li asked curiously, "What's the name of this book? Who's the author?"

Is there really something that money can't buy these days?

"The book is titled 'My Wife is a CEO,' and the author is Yi Ran Zi De," Wang Meng told the truth.

Yan Li's eyes widened, feeling much more sober now. "Complacent? Are you sure???"

Yi Ran Zi De is Xiao Ran's pen name, which she knows.

I just never expected that, by such a coincidence, I would choose Xiao Ran's book.

Moreover, in my memory, hadn't Xiao Ran already failed in business for several years?

How could he possibly write a good book?

This did surprise her.

Wang Meng was startled by President Yan's reaction. "Yes, President Yan."
