Zhen Tian was taken aback when she saw the person who came; she hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance here.
"Zhen Tian!" Jiang Wei frowned the moment she saw Zhen Tian, then looked at the man in the main seat: "Dad, how do you know Zhen Tian?"
"You two know each other?" The man's smile widened. "That's perfect. Weiwei, come here. This is the original author of the anime the company is planning to adapt. It'll be easier if you know her. Your father is asking her to look after you. This little girl may be young, but she's very capable."
"She'll take me under her wing? She's crazy!" Jiang Wei exclaimed, jumping up and down. She hated Zhen Tian so much that she wished she would disappear. How could she possibly learn from Zhen Tian?
"Yes, didn't Dad make it very clear to you on the phone last time? You should grow up and learn to share the burden of the family."
"Impossible, I would never learn from Zhen Tian." Jiang Wei threw her purse onto the stool and slammed herself down on it. "I'm not going to change the comics either. Zhen Tian, you can leave."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Jiang Wei's father's face darkened.
"I don't care, Zhen Tian's comics are just not good!"
Why not?
"I hate her."
"Is this how you talk to your uncles and elders? Is this how I taught you?" The man was clearly angry.
"Dad, I hate Zhen Tian, I hate her so much! You can't send her money again!"
Zhen Tian listened to the back-and-forth conversation between the father and daughter and suddenly felt bored. She stood up and said to Jiang Wei's father, "It seems that you haven't made a decision either. Give me a definite answer next time."
"Oh, I'm sorry, please excuse my rudeness. I don't know why this child is so temperamental today; he's not usually like this."
Jiang Wei's father, as a businessman, still had some sense of shame.
You have to save face eventually.
Zhen Tian glanced at the furious Jiang Wei, not intending to tolerate her. She showed no mercy to Jiang Wei and said, "You may not know your daughter. She's like this in the dormitory all the time."
After saying that, she added, "I don't lack these millions. Mr. Jiang, please settle your family matters before discussing cooperation with me. But I don't think we can reach an agreement."
"Zhen Tian, what do you mean? Yes, you're not short of money, after all, you have Ji Yuzhi as your boyfriend..."
Yang Tao and the others couldn't hear anything else they said because Tian Tian had already left the private room.
Yang Tao, listening to Jiang Wei's voice in the car, was furious: "Damn it, it sounds like someone begged her. It was her dad who begged our Tian Tian, okay?"
"She even mentioned my crush; I knew she was jealous."
"They're cutting off our source of income. Does our Tian Tian only have male gods? Has Jiang Wei forgotten about Tian Tian's brothers and uncles? Any one of them could easily beat her father."
Yang Tao angrily rattled off a whole bunch of things.
Even after Zhen Tian got on the bus, she was still cursing.
“We won’t sell it to him. I don’t believe there aren’t other investors interested in your comics.”
“Okay, we won’t sell to him.” Zhen Tian smiled and echoed Yang Tao’s angry words.
"Is everything alright?" Yuan Yuan asked.
"It's nothing. I didn't expect it to be Jiang Wei's father. What a coincidence."
"Is this Jiang Wei your roommate?" Yuan Yuan didn't know who she was, but from Tian Tian's conversation, she guessed she was.
"Yes, because she had a crush on one of our seniors but couldn't get him, she turned her love into hatred. She hates our Sweetie." Yang Tao immediately chimed in, "Damn it, she can't attract anyone and she blames our Sweetie? She even spreads rumors about Sweetie at school. She should have her mouth ripped off."
"Alright. There's nothing to be angry about."
Sweetie told the editor about it, then took Yangtao and Yuanyuan shopping.
The seasons are changing soon, and she needs to buy some new clothes. Also, Zhizhi will be back soon, and she needs to buy him some new clothes as well.
Nobody knew where Jiang Wei had gone; they hadn't seen her for several days, and she hadn't come to class either. Apart from Jin Yaya, no one in the dorm seemed to care about her.
But things didn't go as they expected. A few days later, the editor contacted Tian Tian.
[Editor Xiaoyu: Dear editor, this is the phone number of the person in charge of the comic adaptation. You can talk to her and then start drawing the original artwork.]
[Editor Xiaoyu: The funds have arrived, and the website is processing the paperwork. We'll transfer the money to you soon.]
[Sweet Tongue: Has the funding arrived?]
[Edited by Xiaoyu: Yes.]
[Sweet Tongue: Didn't you say you might mess it up?]
[Edited by Xiaoyu: I don't know the specifics either, but I received a notification from above.]
[Sweet on the tongue: Okay.]
She couldn't figure it out, but the answer was delivered to her that afternoon.
Jiang Wei's father called.
"Zhen, I'm so sorry, my daughter said some unpleasant things last time."
"It's nothing." Zhen Tian glanced at her phone with a puzzled look; it was indeed Jiang Wei's father.
"You should have received the notification from the website by now. Our company's funding has been secured. We're just waiting for you to join the team and start adapting the anime together."
"Okay, I understand."
"Don't worry, it's not for any other reason. I'm a businessman, and profit comes first. Since we both agree on the contract terms and are satisfied, this cooperation will naturally be completed. Just pretend that Jiang Wei's matter never happened; I won't change my decision because of her."
"Aren't you afraid Jiang Wei will make a scene?"
"I'm keeping her at home to reflect on her actions. I'll let her go back to school when she's thought things through. Don't worry about that."
"Since you put it that way, I have no other opinion."
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Zhen Tian hung up the phone, and Yang Tao, who had listened to the whole thing, said: "This man wouldn't make you go through all that trouble to edit it and then not let you play it, would he?"
"Won't."
"Why."
"Why would he do something so thankless? We were supposed to settle the payment in one go. He transferred all the money to me, then spent a lot of time and resources making the animation, and in the end it wasn't broadcast, so he lost all his money."
"So you're saying Jiang Wei's father really doesn't care about his daughter's feelings?"
"Who knows!"
Not long after, Jiang Wei returned to school, seemingly having indeed reflected on her actions.
For at least a long time, they didn't go against Zhen Tian.
I don't know what her dad said, but anyway, it's a good thing.
Because her ongoing comic about herself and Zhizhi is based entirely on true stories, she is very good at drawing the two of them, and the original drawings for the anime are produced very quickly.
The online serialization has been continuously updated, and it has now reached the point where Ji Yuzhi's studio has been completed.
The comments under the comic were all praising how amazing the male protagonist was. Zhen Tian would read the comments every day, which was also a source of joy for her.
As she drew these stories again, she missed Ji Yuzhi even more.
A few days later, she received another message from the editor.
[Editor Xiaoyu: Hey there! The website's annual awards ceremony for top influencers is coming up. You're number one in the comics section. You absolutely have to come this year!]
