Chapter 40 She Doesn’t Want to Wear Those Cute Clothes
Finally, Ji Chen left a phone number for Lin Qingya, asking her to call him when she was too busy to take care of Bai Lianwan.
Since he had classes in the afternoon, he left the infirmary after staying there for a short while.
As soon as Ji Chen left, Lin Qingya, while treating Bai Lianwan's wound, exclaimed in admiration, "Wanwan, to be honest, Ji Chen is quite responsible. And why do I feel like she treats you particularly well?"
Occasionally, Lin Qingya would hear some students talking about how Ji Chen didn't get close to other girls because of the person he liked.
How should she treat this little girl in front of her? She feels a little special.
Bai Lian's face suddenly became hot when Lin Qingya asked this, "Don't speculate, it's just that my foot was injured and he thought it was his fault."
"Okay...but you two look really good together."
"Hmm?" Bai Lianwan looked at Lin Qingya in front of him with an unfriendly look.
Under pressure from the tyranny, Lin Qingya could only laugh and say, "No, no, I was just saying it casually..."
Then she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she continued, "Wanwan, National Day is coming in a few days. There's a comic convention at the Jiangcheng Convention and Exhibition Center. Should we go and have some fun?"
Lin Qingya said this, looking at the beautiful girl in front of her with a flattering smile.
Although Lin Qingya is already 23 years old, she is also a veteran of the second dimension.
And what she is most passionate about is to have Bai Lianwan, who has a perfect figure, COS various popular anime characters with her.
Especially the girl in front of you who fits in perfectly with the two-dimensional world. She can easily handle all styles such as maid, cat-ear girl, JK, and even Lolita!
Every time she took a photo of Bai Lianwan, she carefully kept it and used it as various screensavers.
However, she had only managed to persuade Bai Lianwan to join her twice before.
Sure enough, this time when Bai Lianwan heard Lin Qingya's request, she refused without hesitation, "I won't go."
Those are toys for little girls, she doesn’t want to go there!
Lin Qingya opened her eyes wide, pleading, "Wanwan... just promise me... I've even thought of a character for you to cosplay this time. A soft, cute, and adorable hottie. You'll definitely like it!"
"I don't want to wear cute clothes like that!!"
"Wanwan... I feel like you're the best fit for that role. Please, please, if you're willing to be with me, I can promise you anything in the future."
"don't want!"
…
On the other side...
After Ji Chen returned to class, he entered the ultimate learning state and began to study seriously.
I studied until 5:30 in the afternoon.
After class, he went to the cafeteria with Yun Chuan to eat, and met Li Yiyi.
After the meal was ready and everyone had just sat down, Ji Chen's phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
When he took out his cell phone and saw the caller's note, he couldn't help but feel happy.
This person was none other than Director Zhou Songwen, who had contacted him a few days ago.
Soon, the call was connected and Zhou Songwen's voice came out.
"Xiao Ji, do you know why I called you?"
Ji Chen smiled and said, "It must be a good thing."
"Yes, it's good news. The box office statistics for this week are out! Can you guess how much it is?" Zhou Songwen said mysteriously to Ji Chen.
"It should be over 500 million." Ji Chen replied.
He has been paying attention to it occasionally recently, and the box office of this movie has indeed increased very quickly.
Zhou Songwen laughed heartily and said, "That's right, it's over 600 million now! It's completely exceeded my expectations."
Zhou Songwen had originally estimated the box office to be just over 300 million yuan.
But he didn't expect that it would exceed 600 million in just one week. A lot of credit should be given to Ji Chen.
The company conducted a questionnaire survey on major websites two days ago, and more than half of the people chose to watch his movie because of Ji Chen's theme song.
Some people also heard that the theme song and the plot are a perfect match.
The rest is for Yi Yang Qianxi and Zhou Dongyu.
So Ji Chen can be said to be the biggest contributor to this movie!
When Ji Chen heard Zhou Songwen's words, he also smiled and said, "Congratulations."
"Hahaha, thanks to you, Xiao Ji. I must continue to work with you on the theme song of my next movie!"
"Then my next charge might be higher. Can you accept that?"
"Why not? Forget 0.5, I'll just give you 20% or 30%!"
Zhou Songwen was not talking nonsense. If Ji Chen's theme song for the next movie satisfied him, he would definitely give him a high share of the profits. Ji Chen was worth the high price.
Then, the two chatted for a while before talking about the main purpose of Zhou Songwen's call today.
"Xiao Ji, I've already arranged your share. After deducting taxes and costs from the 600 million box office, your share of the remaining profits will be around 14 million."
"This is just a rough estimate. After all, our normal procedure is to settle box office revenue with the theaters about a month after the movie is released. Since you need the money urgently, I can transfer it to you from the company first."
Although ten million is not a small amount of money for Fruit Pictures, it is not too much either. Moreover, this is what Ji Chen deserves, and they are just paying him in advance.
"Okay, thank you Director Zhou. If you come to Jiangcheng someday, I'll definitely treat you to a nice meal."
Although he knew that their relationship was only mutually beneficial, Ji Chen couldn't help but feel warmed by the fact that Zhou Songwen was willing to advance him such a large sum of money from the company for emergency use.
"Hahaha, I should be the one treating you. Xiao Ji, you're the God of Wealth for this movie of mine!"
…
Then, the two chatted for a few more sentences and ended the call.
Ji Chen also opened WeChat immediately and sent his bank card account information to Su Yue.
After finishing these, he started to eat.
Finally, he was able to settle the family debt and keep a considerable income. Ji Chen felt that today's food tasted much better.
Yun Chuan was chatting animatedly with Li Yiyi who was sitting opposite him, completely unaware that the buddy next to him was about to have one-tenth of his wealth.
"Yiyi, the Jiangcheng Convention and Exhibition Center is hosting an ACG comic exhibition during the National Day holiday. How about we form a couple?"
Yun Chuan said as he put the chicken leg from his bowl into Li Yiyi's bowl.
"Who wants to be a couple with you? But... we can go together. I heard that this year's comic convention has invited many cosplay masters, and there is also a Hanfu culture theme!"
Li Yiyi thought that the two of them might feel awkward at that time, so she looked at Ji Chen and said, "Ji Chen, do you want to go with us?"
When Ji Chen heard what Li Yiyi said, he smiled calmly and said, "Forget it. I'm not very interested in this aspect."
Those were things young people played with, and he, a forty-something old man, had no interest in them.
"Go ahead, Old Ji. Comic conventions are fun. You can't be tense all day long. Relax once in a while." Yun Chu'an also understood what Li Yiyi meant, so he followed her words.
At the same time, he did not forget to wink at Ji Chen - Old Ji, my happiness is in your hands!
Ji Chen looked at Yun Chuan who was winking, touched his chin, and thought for a while, "Then my breakfast this semester..."
"Old Ji, what are we? We're buddies closer than brothers! I'll even cover your breakfast for this semester!"
Seeing Yun Chuan's sincere attitude, Ji Chen could only nod reluctantly and said, "Okay."
After all, this guy helped him a lot in his previous life, even after graduation.
It is only right that I do my best to help him pursue a girlfriend. After all, there are so many days of National Day holiday, so I might as well take a day to relax.
"Thank you, Old Ji! I love you!" Seeing Ji Chen agreed, Yun Chuan quickly picked up the other chicken leg in the bowl and gave it to Ji Chen.
"Put it back, it's all your saliva."
"Hey, who are we to each other? We're sleeping in the same bed, why do we need to be so clear about it?"
Li Yiyi covered her mouth and giggled, looking at the two well-matched boys opposite her.
“I feel like you two can cosplay Wuxian and Wangji then!”
"What is that?" Yun Chuan asked in confusion, picking up the soup in the bowl.
"Ah, don't you know these two? They're a super popular gay couple!"
As Li Yiyi spoke, an image of two people in ancient costumes blowing up the entire ACG scene appeared in her mind.
Yun Chuan, who had just taken a sip of soup and had not yet swallowed it, couldn't help but spit out the soup in his mouth when he heard the word "male-male".
Li Yiyi, who happened to be sitting opposite him, was instantly in trouble.
"Yun Chuan'an! You bastard! Die!"
