Xiao Ran glared at him, "Are you leaving or not?"
Actually, he was quite helpless; he didn't really want to send her away.
But he and Yan Li are divorced, and her sister still lives with him. What's going on here?
It's easy to say but hard to hear.
He didn't want to hear any gossip.
The girl shook her head, her face resolute, and said, "I'm not leaving. You can leave if you want, but I guess you don't want to either..."
After saying that, she turned around and took quick, crisp steps, fleeing back upstairs to her room.
Xiao Ran was speechless with anger.
Whose house is it? Let him leave. What right does he have to leave?
Just as he was speechless, the footsteps on the stairs suddenly stopped, and he took a few steps back. Yan Xici peeked out with half her head out and tilted her head to look at him.
"Brother-in-law, don't be too sad. There's still a long way to go. I believe that with your talent and good looks, you can definitely find me a step-sister!"
Then came a series of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
Xiao Ran was completely speechless.
Honestly, he really couldn't do anything about Yan Xici.
This girl is incredibly clever; she's a master at acting cute and being unreasonable.
Xiao Ran shook his head and decided to apply for a dormitory for her at the school himself, as a way of giving her an explanation.
Back in his bedroom, Xiao Ran lay on the bed and turned on his phone.
I originally intended to go to Qidianli to read some books, but after reading only a few pages, I suddenly received a message from the editor.
Time; Brother, the last book did well. Didn't I tell you before that I'd consider adapting it? And it turned out to be true!
Xiao Ran was stunned!
Goodness.
It's true what they say: you may try to plant flowers, but they won't bloom; you may plant willows, but they will thrive.
The editor said at the time that it might be adapted, and he thought it was just a casual remark, but he never expected it to actually come true!
Xiao Ran: Yes, it's for sale, but I don't know which company it's from.
Shiguang: This is also what I was just about to discuss with you. Two companies have also taken a liking to this book. One is Yunya Company, a small company, but they offered a relatively high price of 3 million.
Another one is iQiyi, a large platform, which is also preparing to adapt web dramas.
However, the price will be 200,000 less. But if it's a big company, the production quality of their works, whether it's props, costumes, or celebrities, will generally be better, meaning they will have greater brand recognition. It depends on your budget.
As an editor, Shi Guang is a very good one; the authors under his supervision all call him a warm-hearted man in private.
In fact, he could have simply decided to have Xiao Ran sign the document.
But he didn't; he still sought his opinion.
However, when Xiao Ran saw this message, he felt not only warmth, but also shock!
Yunya Company, isn't that Yan Li's company?
They specifically target online celebrities and produce short web series.
As people's eyesight continues to grow, the number of people watching online dramas is also increasing, mainly because online dramas are short and fast-paced.
With plenty of laughs and moments of enjoyment, it's a very relaxing experience, and this characteristic has brought considerable profits to the industry.
Yan Li caught up with the opportunity and reaped the benefits; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become worth over 100 million in just three years.
Unexpectedly, her company actually selected her book.
But thinking about it carefully, it's strange, since Yan Li hasn't paid attention to her for a long time, and she never participates in things like choosing books.
To be honest, Xiao Ran wanted to choose iQiyi.
It's not because of personal grudges, but mainly because it's a large and trustworthy platform.
Although they are all web series, the effects will definitely be different when they are filmed on different platforms. He doesn't want the book he spent more than a year writing to become garbage when it is filmed.
Moreover, people who enjoy watching dramas will turn back to reading the books.
Thinking about it this way, iQiyi is still the better choice.
Xiao Ran replied decisively: "I'll stick with iQiyi. Thank you, Brother Shi."
Time: I don't mind the trouble. How about this, I'll try my best to negotiate the price, but if I really can't raise it, then this is the only option.
Look at that, what a great editor! Everything he does is for the author's benefit.
Xiao Ran: Thank you, Brother Shi~
Shiguang: By the way, according to your information you're also in Shanghai, right? That's perfect. I'll invite them over this afternoon, and we can sign the contract right away.
Xiao Ran: No problem, how about 2 PM? Or how about the Starbucks downstairs from your office?
Time: OK~
Putting down his phone, Xiao Ran still found it somewhat unbelievable, so he picked it up again, opened WeChat, and read through the chat history once more.
I've confirmed that what just happened really did occur.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed.
This must be what they call divine intervention!
I just happened to be thinking of changing rooms.
I was worried about not having enough money, but look...
The money's here!!!
Thinking about it, he couldn't wait to log onto some websites on 58beike and start looking at houses.
New house, new life!
Xiao Ran became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Upstairs, Yan Xici lay on a soft pink double bed. The girl's bed was very soft, and sunlight shone in through the window.
The raindrops shone on her, making her already fair skin appear as smooth as a peeled egg.
Her long, slender legs were casually crossed, and her delicate, pretty feet naturally curled up.
She was half-covered by the blanket, her beautiful big eyes blinking as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
They got divorced...
To be honest, she didn't feel sorry for her sister.
I just feel a little sorry for my brother-in-law.
Over the years, not only myself, but my parents have also really liked my brother-in-law.
People say a son-in-law is like half a son, and in their family, he's truly like a son to them. No matter the matter, big or small, the brother-in-law never hesitates.
