Chapter 1585: Chapter 1585: Take Me There

Lin Feng and Wang Jiayi from Wenyue Group, who previously met with Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing, were already sitting in the café waiting for them. Upon seeing Luo Yuqing, Luo Ziling, and Dai Shulan enter, they promptly stood up to greet them.

There were constant storms in the Yanjing playboy circle, but only people at that level knew the news. People like Dai Shulan, and those in the same dorm as Luo Ziling, were completely unaware of the matters concerning Chen Jiahai and Yang Yunzhong. Of course, Wang Jiayi and Lin Feng didn’t know either.

They only cared about matters in their own vicinity. For instance, what Dai Shulan cared most about was the adaptation of her book’s rights, while Wang Jiayi and Lin Feng were concerned with website operations, rights management, and which book had IP value.

Your circle of life determines your focus.

The notion that “where you sit determines how you think” is entirely true.

After they sat down, Wang Jiayi, who had dressed up specially today and looked quite alluring, took out several contracts from her bag and handed them to Luo Yuqing, “Miss Luo, these are the contracts we drafted based on the key points of our meeting with you. Please review them first, and if you find everything in order, we can sign the contracts today; if there are areas that need refining, we can discuss further.”

“Okay, I’ll take a look,” Luo Yuqing immediately shifted into work mode and started carefully reviewing the contracts.

Dai Shulan also picked up another contract and began to read it slowly.

Luo Ziling wasn’t interested in the contracts and didn’t know much about them, so he didn’t look at them. Instead, he chatted about other matters with Lin Feng and Wang Jiayi. The three quickly started discussing creating a book tailored for Luo Ziling.

Wang Jiayi informed Luo Ziling that she had already been in contact with a writer named Hui Xialiu, who was interested. If Luo Ziling was interested, they could arrange a meeting to chat.

“Maybe some other time,” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile. “I’ve got a lot going on these days, and soon I’ll be accompanying a Traditional Medicine Exchange Delegation on visits to several East Asian countries. I won’t have time for at least a month.”

“No problem,” Wang Jiayi, seeing that Luo Ziling wasn’t outright rejecting the idea, immediately smiled. “We can arrange a meeting once Mr. Luo is free.”

Luo Ziling also smiled.

Wang Jiayi then asked Luo Ziling, “Our website is planning to promote Dai Shulan and her work. I’ll show the proposal to Miss Luo. I want to ask if we can also feature your film company’s name; if possible, you guys could help with the promotion. That way, her reputation will become even more prominent, which will certainly benefit her and our website. I believe it will also be beneficial for your company.”

“I think it’s doable,” Luo Ziling thought for a moment and replied, “but I’ll still need to ask my sister’s opinion. If she’s okay with it, then we can collaborate.”

Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Wang Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, “That sounds good.”

After chatting for a while longer, Wang Jiayi suggested again, “Mr. Luo, our company is looking for a few brand ambassadors and I wonder if there are any suitable signed actors from your company? It’s best if they are male, as most of our works are male-oriented. The requirements are sunny, handsome, popular, and preferably enjoys reading.”

“Except for popularity, I meet the other three criteria,” Luo Ziling joked, “When I become famous, I will endorse for you.”

“Haha, really?” Wang Jiayi was surprised but then immediately laughed, “Mr. Luo’s reputation is already quite good—young, talented, and wealthy. If this international visit is covered by the news and then media gives you an exclusive interview, you’ll become a genuine internet celebrity. By then, many companies will be looking for you to be a spokesperson.”

Wang Jiayi checked Luo Ziling’s information and discovered that a lot had indeed happened to him, especially at Yan University, where he was extraordinarily popular and had a certain level of fame on the Qinghua Campus.

If there’s more hype, his fame could become even greater.

What’s more important is that Luo Ziling is handsome, sunny, and carries an aristocratic air that ordinary celebrities can’t compare to. Additionally, he’s very skilled.

Wang Jiayi thought that if Luo Ziling acted in films, he would definitely become popular quickly.

“Haha, if one day I really become famous, I’ll definitely endorse for you, and the price will be very preferential.”

Of course, Luo Ziling’s words were meant as a joke, but Wang Jiayi replied earnestly, “Then it’s settled. Don’t refuse when the time comes.”

While they were talking, Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan had finished reviewing the contracts.

“No problem, we can sign them now,” Luo Yuqing, whose personality was quite straightforward, had carefully reviewed the contract and found it even better than she had requested, so she immediately said that they could sign now.

Dai Shulan was not very familiar with contract matters. In the past, when she signed contracts, she didn’t even look at them.

After all, everyone said that if you want to publish a book on the Wenyue platform, you had to accept their domineering contract. So, she just printed the contract, signed her name without reading it, and sent it over.

Today she didn’t look too carefully either. She still felt that in this regard, she didn’t have the qualifications to demand much. The other party provided a contract, and all she had to do was sign it. But seeing Luo Yuqing looking at it seriously, she also took a moment to review it.

After reviewing it for a while, she found this contract wasn’t domineering at all and provided her with benefits she hadn’t expected.

Previously, electronic subscription had a fifty-fifty revenue split. Now she actually received eighty percent from the film company for film rights.

The copyright fee both parties agreed on was 6.5 million, and she could get 5.2 million. Taking into account a 20% copyright tax, she would get about 4 million—this is the income her parents worked many years for, and she had accomplished it easily. How could she not be excited?

Moreover, Wang Jiayi’s suggestion made Dai Shulan even happier.

Wang Jiayi suggested that Dai Shulan set up a workshop so that by paying taxes through the workshop she could significantly lower the tax rate. This is called legitimate tax avoidance, with taxes generally being below 5%. Calculating it, the difference in taxes alone could be nearly a million, making Dai Shulan so happy she almost jumped up. Even though she is usually calm, she couldn’t completely control her emotions, her pretty face stayed flushed, and she remained in a state of excitement.

Right in that café, Luo Yuqing signed her name on the contract, and Dai Shulan signed hers too, pressing her fingerprint.

However, they still needed to have seals stamped, and they agreed to go to the company the next day to affix seals and exchange the contracts.

After finalizing the matters, Wang Jiayi and Lin Feng took their leave.

Luo Ziling, Luo Yuqing, and Dai Shulan didn’t hang around in the café either and left together.

After leaving the café, Dai Shulan cheerfully bounced back to school after thanking them.

Tonight, she was destined to be sleepless.

“Let’s head back too,” Luo Yuqing hooked her arm through Luo Ziling’s and teased him, “If you’re courting Dai Shulan, then your courting techniques are unmatched.”

“Stop it, you go back first, I still have things to do.”

“Do what?” Luo Yuqing looked wary.

“Something unsuitable for children!”

“Take me along, I know someone was following us, and your people caught them. I want to see how you interrogate someone.”

“……”
