He didn't think much about it, but he discovered the "treasure" of Shen Pan.
The three of them worked together and dinner was ready quickly.
Shen Pan is not very good at cooking, so he can only do some simple work as an assistant. Zhou Mo is good at knife skills and is responsible for cutting vegetables.
Song Yan was in charge of cooking. He was very familiar with the process and just lit the fire, set up the pot and poured in the oil.
Chen Pan stood aside and sighed: "Of course, Lao Song, you are an all-round good man."
Song Yan said embarrassedly: "No."
"Of course not! You can take care of children, cook, and have ambitions and a career. Even the perfect men in novels are not as perfect as you."
Song Yan was amused and chuckled dryly, then turned on the range hood to cook.
It has to be said that Song Yan's skills surprised Zhou Mang and Shen Pan. He could even flip the wok.
Zhou Mo also sighed: "With your skills, it would be a shame if you didn't become a chef."
Song Yan had a cocky expression on his face and deliberately asked, "How do you compare to Han Chen?"
Zhou Mo: “…”
Song Yan laughed twice, "Doesn't he know anything?"
"Who said he can't?" Zhou Mo couldn't help but make up for Han Chen, "Han Chen can cook, and the food is delicious."
"That's really amazing. I can't create the taste of love." Song Yan joked.
Zhou Mo's face turned red with laughter.
Chen Pan stood behind Zhou Mo, resting his chin on her shoulder, and asked Song Yan, "Old Song, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No."
"Never talked about it?" Shen Pan was curious.
"No."
"Oh, so innocent?" Shen Pan was surprised.
Song Yan smiled and said, "Just because I've never been in a relationship doesn't mean I've never liked someone. It was just a secret crush that failed."
Chen Pan glanced at Zhou Mo, his eyes filled with anticipation and gossip, "Who is so lucky? Can you tell me?"
"It's inconvenient." Song Yansheng brought out a dish, and after rinsing the pot, he started to make the second dish.
Chen Pan was a little uninterested, and Zhou Mo also became curious.
Song Yan is not bad looking, and he is also the vice president of RG. Needless to say, he has a good family background. He can take care of children and cook. He is a perfect man.
Such a perfect person should have many admirers, but how could he have a crush on someone else?
And he even generously admitted that his secret love had failed.
Chen Pan was puzzled: "You went to confess your love to someone and got rejected?"
"No, I didn't even have the time to say it," Song Yan said frankly, "Sometimes, seeing someone happy is happier than having them yourself."
Chen Pan scoffed, "What era is it now? Are you still playing the game of helping others while you suffer? If it were me, I would definitely confess my feelings first, so as not to lose out."
Song Yan smiled but said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't react much, Shen Pan couldn't help but wonder, "You don't like our Zhou Mo, do you?"
"..." Zhou Mo rolled his eyes at her, "I've met him three times in total..."
Song Yan frowned, unable to understand how Chen Pan came to this conclusion. "Your idea is very dangerous. I have never thought of trying to steal someone's girlfriend, and I certainly don't want to be beaten to death by Han Chen."
Chen Pan said, "Isn't that what it says in novels? The second male lead is gentle and perfect, always falling in love with the heroine unconditionally at first sight, and his feelings are deeply rooted."
Song Yan smiled and said, "Which novel? Tell me about it, I'll read it."
Chen Pan: "Nine out of ten novels oriented towards women are like this. They also have a lot of gimmicks, such as the comatose husband and the yandere prince."
Song Yan frowned, "What the hell is this?"
"I don't know, but there are still quite a lot of people who like to read them," Chen Pan said. "Nowadays, many comics adapted from novels, regardless of the plot, are flooding the comics market. Those shoddy animated comics are making a lot of trouble for the already weak domestic comics market. We original comics creators have been pushed to the margins. The most popular author 'Feng Wu Liu' serialized on MoMo only earned a little over 30,000 yuan after six months of serialization. A nobody like me who barely meets the signing standards of MoMo can only make a maximum of 2,000 yuan a month."
"The domestic mobile Internet has developed too fast, and the development of comics has been interrupted. It has never formed a mainstream or unique form of artistic expression. Domestic people generally do not have the habit of reading paper books. These are the biggest obstacles to the development of comics." Song Yan said.
"You're right on both counts," Chen Pan said. "I'd also like to add one crucial point – there's too much piracy, and the phenomenon of piracy is rampant. We authors can't just rely on our passion, can we? We're not talking about making a fortune, but at least we can make a living. But what's going on? Back when platforms like 'Zhiyin Manke' and 'Zuimanhua' were popular, comic authors could still make a living. Now… we work tirelessly for a year or six months, and not only do our creations get pirated, but even the copyrights are taken away by the platforms, and we no longer own them."
When it comes to the issue of comic book piracy, Shen Pan complains bitterly, as if the grievances he suffered from Lu Zhishu were not as great as the grievances he suffered from having his comic books stolen.
"Send me the title of your work," Song Yan said suddenly.
Shen Pan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Crack down on piracy," Song Yan said. "RG's legal department is cooperating with LT. I can contact the LT law firm and sue those pirates."
"It's no use. MoMo's legal team has tried, but the servers of those pirated websites are all located overseas, so they can't be traced."
"Then contact the technical department and check their IP addresses. There's always a way to find them."
Chen Pan was stunned, staring at Song Yan blankly, and jokingly said, "Is this the legendary charm of the CEO?"
"Never felt it before? That's perfect. I'll let you feel it in advance." Song Yan responded cooperatively.
"Really?" Chen Pan was a little skeptical. "The cost of combating piracy is very high. The money spent on copyright protection is more than the profit from the entire work."
"It's okay. I'm not short of money. The people in the Legal Department don't get paid for nothing."
"..." Shen Pan was shocked: "Arrogant, worthy of being a member of RG."
Zhou Mo listened to the conversation between the two. From the tone of their voice, she knew that Song Yan had finalized the matter. She frowned and asked Chen Pan: "It seems that you have found a big thigh."
"Hold, you must hold, and hold tightly," Chen Pan said firmly, "Old Song, you are the second person I know with status and background. It would be a shame not to hold on to your thigh."
"Oh? Who is the first one?" Song Yan was curious.
"Uh..." Chen Pan was stunned by the question, "Let's not talk about it. I'll serve the dishes, you hurry up and cook something else, Xiao Ni is hungry."
Shen Pan said as he brought out the dishes cooked by Song Yan.
Song Yan looked at Chen Pan running away dejectedly and asked Zhou Mo in a low voice: "What's going on? Why don't you say anything?"
"Wait until she is willing to speak and tell you."
"Broken heart? Ex-boyfriend?" Song Yan guessed.
Zhou Mo's pupils dilated. His guess was right.
"It seems so," Song Yan had already determined the answer based on Zhou Mo's expression.
At dinner time.
Because of Song Yan's excellent cooking skills, Zhou Mo and Shen Pan ate a lot. Lu Nian was not picky about food and ate a bowl of rice obediently without crying or making a fuss. She also said that the meal would taste better if there were more people around.
When Chen Pan and Zhou Mo left, Lu Yan held their hands and asked them when they would come next time.
