Room 308 is a flame-themed room. The main color is red, with blue and yellow as secondary colors.

Many people who come to discuss business will book this private room specifically, as it symbolizes future cooperation and prosperous business. It is a very down-to-earth room.

Tang Muyan stood at the door in a daze, her eyes swept over everyone in the room, all of them were familiar faces.

Qi Yuan, Yu Tezhu, Qi Wang? Lu Huaichen!

Her gaze finally stopped on Lu Huaichen.

This is not prosperous at all, this is like roasting her on the fire!

It was Qi Yuan who spoke first, breaking the seemingly weird atmosphere, "Teacher Tang is here, Teacher Tang, come and sit over here."

Qi Yuan was pointing at none other place but the spot between Lu Huaichen and Qi Wang.

'Is it funny?'

"Wouldn't it be a death wish for me to sit there?"

Let’s not talk about Qi Wang first, let’s talk about Lu Huaichen. She had just finished a phone call with him a while ago, and she said some mean things to him.

Someone who holds a grudge like him must be killed.

Let’s talk about Qi Wang. She even gave him takeout this afternoon to please him.

No matter how you look at it, I have offended these two people.

Tang Muyan didn't reply to Qi Wang, but walked to Qi Yuan's side and smiled awkwardly, "I'll just sit here."

Qi Wangg looked at the position that Tang Muyan pointed to, with his back against the door, which could be considered a lower position.

When Tang Muyan's butt was about to touch the stool, Qi Wang spoke lightly, speaking in a Beijing accent, "That's not the right place. Teacher Tang, please take a seat."

"Qi Wang, are you seriously ill?"

Although Tang Muyan cursed in her heart, she smiled dignifiedly on the surface, "Boss Qi, please don't flatter me. I'll just sit here."

"Qi Wang, you'd better shut up."

Lu Huaichen raised his eyelids and looked at Tang Muyan with indifference and alienation in his eyes. He said calmly, "You are the protagonist after all, how can you sit there?"

"If I don't sit here, I'm going to sit next to you. Am I crazy?"

Tang Muyan sat down on the stool without saying a word, without any hesitation.

She was quite polite when she spoke to Qi Wang just now.

When facing Lu Huaichen, her words became sharper.

"Since when did Master Lu start to meddle in other people's affairs?"

The implication is, 'I can sit wherever I want, it's none of your business.'

Of course, Lu Huaichen also heard this.

Qi Wang couldn't help but laughed out loud. Although he was no match for the pretty boy beside Tang Muyan, compared to Lu Huaichen, he still had face in Tang Muyan's eyes, so naturally he was a little more arrogant.

It wasn't until Qi Yuan glared at him that he restrained himself a little.

Lu Huaichen's reaction was very calm, and he did not feel unhappy because Tang Muyan rejected his face.

He laughed at himself, "It's true that I was meddling in other people's business."

Tang Muyan was slightly stunned. She thought Lu Huaichen would be angry, at least his expression would not be as indifferent as it was now.

Soon the situation fell into a weird atmosphere again.

Several people sat around the table staring blankly, no one spoke.

Special Assistant Yu tried to speak several times to ease the atmosphere, but due to the disparity in status, the bosses remained silent. As a small assistant like him, there was nothing to do here, so he chose to remain silent.

"What's going on? Why aren't you talking?" Tang Muyan's little head turned around in confusion.

'That's very strange.'

Finally, it was Qi Yuan who took the initiative. "Teacher Tang, a film and television company under Mr. Lu's name wants to acquire the copyright of your comics. What do you think?"

Tang Muyan sometimes really didn't understand Qi Yuan. Copyright issues? They could just decide on their own. Why did they ask her?

Tang Muyan spread her hands and said indifferently, "I have no problem, you decide."

'As long as there is enough money, it's fine!'

Qi Yuan must have not expected Tang Muyan to be so disrespectful to her. She pursed her lips, her face showing embarrassment.

The food just arrived at this time, and the situation finally eased a little.

Tang Muyan sat at the door. When the dishes were served, someone would inevitably bump into her, but she was not pretentious and just sat there without any reaction.

She just wanted to end the dinner as soon as possible.

Lu Huaichen glanced at her casually, and seeing that she looked depressed, his eyes deepened.

Special Assistant Yu was very observant. When he saw the waiters serving the dishes, he said to them, "Have some sense! Keep an eye on them."

I have to say that Assistant Yu's lackey is sometimes quite useful. At critical moments, he can tell what his master means by just looking at his master's eyes.

After all the dishes were served, no one started eating.

After all, they are here to discuss copyright issues, and no one would come here specifically for dinner.

Qi Yuan glanced at Qi Wang and his face darkened.

Ever since Tang Muyan came in, Qi Wang's eyes have never left her, like a pervert.

It's like a hopeless case of rotten wood!

Qi Yuan felt resentful towards his younger brother. The old man favored boys over girls, and there was never any woman as the heir to the family.

Qi Siyuan only has this one son, so naturally he relies on Qi Wang to survive.

If she were a man, she wouldn't have to be controlled by Qi Wang.

I can't count on him anymore, I have to rely on her for this game.

Qi Yuan knew very well that compared to others, this was just a copyright cooperation business, nothing big.

But the seriousness of this matter lies in the fact that the person on the other side is the person in power of the Lu family - Lu Huaichen.

As long as the deal is reached, the copyright will be released in the future, or it will be a pleasure to develop long-term cooperation with Lu.

It was Qi Yuan who finally broke the situation. "Mr. Lu, I think the copyright fee for Mr. Tang's work could be higher. And for this comic adaptation, I hope we can become a partner of the work."

Tang Muyan had no intention of listening to the official rhetoric. While Qi Yuan was speaking, she naturally picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a shrimp and put it in her bowl.

Qi Yuan looked at her behavior and paused.

Tang Muyan didn't notice Qi Yuan's change and started peeling the shrimp.

She originally had no habit of eating lunch, but since Wen Huai came to her house every day to cook for her, she got used to three meals a day, and she would feel uncomfortable if she skipped a meal.

While peeling shrimps, Tang Muyan's face twisted uncomfortably. She thought of Wen Huai, "It would be nice if Wen Huai was here."

'I don't have to peel the shrimp myself.'

Qi Yuan didn't take this little episode to heart. She looked at Lu Huaichen and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Huaichen seemed not to hear her words. His eyes fell on Tang Muyan intentionally or unintentionally, observing her every move.

As she peeled shrimps, her eyes softened a little.

Qi Yuan looked to Special Assistant Yu for help.

Facing Qi Yuan's hint, Special Assistant Yu pretended not to see it and sat there like a wooden stake.

The master's purpose this time is very clear. It is obvious that he is not here to discuss cooperation. It is just a small copyright. Why can't he sign it at any time? He has to meet offline and specifically ask the author to come as well.

Isn't it just to meet the young mistress? He is not such a tactless person who would disturb his master's interest.

Qi Yuan saw that asking for help from Special Assistant Yu was useless, so he had to bite the bullet and do it himself.

She called out, "Mr. Lu?"

Lu Huaichen finally shifted his gaze to Qi Yuan, but the tenderness in his eyes just now disappeared, and suddenly, his eyes were cold.
