Hu Yifei looked at the clock on the wall. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Meijia was about to get off work.
When he saw Li Yi's depressed expression, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. When Li Yi wasn't paying attention, he pecked Li Yi on the lips.
"Remember, you can't let Meijia know about what happened today. Otherwise, hmph!”Hu Yifei left after saying those harsh words.
Li Yi, on the other hand, was extremely excited. Wasn't Hu Yifei implying that as long as Meijia didn't find out, they could continue like this?
Meijia had to go to work every day. So, the two of them had a lot of alone time every day?
After Hu Yifei left, Li Yi tried to move his arms. His hands had already regained feeling. Although his arms were still sore, he could still move them. It seemed that he would need at least three to four days to recover.
He sent the 110,000 words that he had just written to Qing Gua and asked him to make the arrangements.
That's right, it was 110,000 words. In the previous seven hours, he had typed a total of 110,000 words.
Qing Gua: " Li Yi, thank you for trusting me so much and giving me the new book.”
Li Yi moved his mouse and sent a voice request to Qing Gua. He really couldn't type anymore.
After the call went through, Li Yi said," Green Melon, let's start publishing this new book today. As for the contract, you can handle it and send it to me. I'll sign it." In addition, I've encountered some trouble. I hope to know some of the remuneration for 'The Best Childe.' Help me communicate with the leader of your editorial department.”
"Li Yi, are you in need of money now?" Qing Gua asked. How much do you need?"
Li Yi thought for a moment and said," If possible, I hope that you can pay me the royalties for 'The Best Childe' in one go. In addition, you can take my new book to your managing editor and show him. My minimum requirement is 5 million."”
"Ah! Five million?" Qing Gua was obviously shocked. "How about this, Li Yi, I'll read your fortune first. At present, there are about 1.7 million unpublished words in the book. According to your current collection, plus the big push in the past two days, it shouldn't be a problem for your collection to increase to 600,000. If you can reach a 5:1 ratio, you will have 120,000 readers.
That's about two million yuan in royalties, but that's only in theory. You'll need to maintain that number of readers. With your current income from tips, it'll be a total of three million yuan. As for your new book, it hasn't been released yet, so I don't know how it will fare. I can only try my best to help you fight for it. However, the chances were not high.”
"Sorry to trouble you, Qing melon. I'm a little tired today, so I won't chat with you anymore.”
After ending the call, Qing Gua couldn't wait to open Li Yi's new book.
"Hmm? Ethereal Journey? Was it Xianxia? My favorite!" To be honest, although Qing Gua admitted that Li Yi's " Top Grade Young Master " was a rare and good book, and many people even said that " Once Young Master is out, there are no books in the city ", Qing Gua did not really like " Top Grade Young Master ".
When he saw the first chapter, titled " Accidentally Entering the Heavenly Court ", Qing Gua was even more convinced that this was his favorite Xianxia novel.
Purple Flame Heart? What was this? Dimensional Bracelet? Was there such a magical thing in the world? He could store things inside!
When Qing Gua saw that there were eleven cultivation realms for cultivators, they were: Whirllight, Enlightenment, Fusion, Heartbeat, Spirit Silence, Nascent Soul, Leaving Aperture, Soul Clone, Fusion, Tribulation Transcendence, Mahayana. Each of them had a difference in level.
Qing Gua felt like his heart was stuck in his throat. This was a brand new system setting…
After reading it once, Qing Gua felt that it was not enough. He read it carefully again. Just as he was about to read it a third time, Qing Gua suddenly remembered that he had promised Li Yi that he would discuss the payment with the managing editor. However, when she looked at the time, she realized that she had already gotten off work.
Embarrassed, she took out her phone and sent Li Yi a text message.""I'm sorry, Li Yi. Your book was too attractive and I lost track of time. I'm the only one left in our editorial department. I'll help you ask about the remuneration tomorrow.”
Li Yi looked at the message and couldn't help but laugh.
Meijia was the one who brought over dinner and served Li Yi. Hu Yifei was obviously a little embarrassed to come over because of what happened in the afternoon. The meal lasted for an hour and a half. Meijia liked it this way. It was too sweet. She wished that Li Yi would lie on her bed and wait on her for the rest of his life...
"Wen Xiaoyi, why don't you lie on the bed in the future and I'll keep feeding you?”Meijia unknowingly blurted out what was on her mind.
When Li Yi heard that Meijia actually had such a " sinister " idea, he couldn't help but think of a story.
The story went like this. There was a newly married woman. Her parents had taught her since she was young that she must be virtuous in the future. After a long time, the word virtuous had already penetrated deep into her heart. However, after getting married, this daughter-in-law suffered from not having the opportunity to show off her virtuous side. Whether it was her father-in-law or mother-in-law, they all fought for work, leaving her idle.
Her daughter-in-law was indignant. She was such a virtuous woman. How could she just eat and not work? Therefore, when her parents-in-law went out to visit their relatives, her daughter-in-law dug a trap at the door of the house. In the end, when his father-in-law and mother-in-law came back, they fell into the trap at the same time. There were sharpened bamboos in the trap, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law became disabled.
At the end of the story, the daughter-in-law took care of her disabled parents-in-law every day. She was extremely virtuous and received praise from all over the country. She was simply a model daughter-in-law!
Li Yi subconsciously shrank back. Meijia, she wouldn't do that, would she?
"What, you don't want to?" Mika was a little unhappy.
"No, Mika, I prefer the two of us taking a walk in the woods under the sunset every day. Don't you think that's more interesting?”Li Yi felt that he had to dispel Meijia's thoughts, so he added,""If I really can't even get down from the bed and need someone to serve me to survive, I'll kill myself immediately and not drag you down.”
" In your dreams," Meijia said. She then picked up a sofa cushion and threw it at Li Yi!
……
Qing Gua spent the entire night thinking about how to convince the chief editor to give Li Yi more money. He barely slept.
The next morning, the first thing Qing Gua did was to log into Li Yi's author platform and publish " Ethereal Journey ". It was 30,000 words and he used his editing authority to quickly pass the review.
Qing Gua had his own reasons for doing so. This was because she could not guarantee that the managing editor would agree to Li Yi's conditions. In fact, she even believed that the managing editor, Li Fei, would have some bad thoughts after reading Li Yi's " Ethereal Journey."
Li Yi trusted him so much that he sent the original manuscript of " Ethereal Journey " to him. If the managing editor plagiarized Li Yi's idea and released a book similar to " Ethereal Journey " first," Ethereal Journey " would become a copycat, and the impact would be huge.
That was why she had published " Ethereal Journey " with 30,000 words. With these 30,000 words, the general situation of cultivation had already been explained. Even if someone published another book of this type, it would only be plagiarizing the creativity of " Ethereal Journey."
As soon as he walked into the editorial department, Qing Gua realized that something was wrong with the department today. Every colleague was sitting upright, as if they were welcoming their leader for an inspection.
Could it be that some big leader was coming today?
At this moment, Qing Gua saw the managing editor, Li Fei, walking in with a young woman, talking and laughing.
"Chief Editor, I have something to tell you." Qing Gua quickly went up to him.”
Li Fei's expression did not look too good. He glared at Qing Gua and said,""Can't you see that I'm busy? If there's anything, we'll talk about it later."
Thinking about how Li Yi was still waiting for the money to save him, and how he had been delayed for another day yesterday, he couldn't drag it out any longer. Hence, he braced himself and said,""Managing Editor, it's about Li Xiaoyi. He's starting a new book.”
Before Li Fei could speak, the young girl beside him spoke first,"Are you saying that Wen Xiaoyi has published a new book? What was the theme? Still in the city? How many words were published? Was the book good? What was the male lead's name? Are there many female leads in it? Is the female lead pretty?"
Qing Gua felt a little dizzy. So many questions…
"Didn't you hear Miss Lin asking you a question? Hurry up and answer!" Li Fei berated.
"President Li, you can just call me Wanyu. Also, President Li, this is not right. My father taught me that as a qualified manager, I should not scold my subordinates. Instead, I should use my own charisma to influence my subordinates…Oh right, little girl, you still haven't told me about Wen Xiaoyi's new book!”
Qing Gua almost cheered for this young girl. She had spoken her mind. She was the editor who had been reprimanded the most in the editorial department. Reason? Because she was young!
"Miss, Li Yi's new book is called 'Ethereal Journey.' It has already been updated to 30,000 words on the Singularity Chinese Network.”Qing Gua said.
The young girl looked at Chief Editor Li Fei and said,""President Li, let's keep things as simple as possible. I can't wait to read Wen Xiaoyi's new book.”
Li Fei had no choice but to shout in the editorial department,"" Everyone, please take note. The person beside me is the heir of the Lin Group International Bank, Miss Lin Wanyu…Qing Gua, please move aside. You're blocking everyone's line of sight…Cough, from today onwards, Miss Lin Wanyu will be the deputy editor of our Singularity Chinese Network. Let's give Miss Lin Wanyu a round of applause and say a few words.”
The applause was very enthusiastic. Beautiful women were welcomed everywhere. Although there were more women in the editorial department, women's claps were obviously not as loud as men's.
"Hello, everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you. " Alright, I've finished my two sentences. I'm going to read my book…Quick, Qing Gua, bring me to Wen Xiaoyi's new book…" Lin Wanyu pulled Qing Gua into his office.
"Miss Lin Wanyu is humorous…" Li Fei coughed dryly.
Although Lin Wanyu didn't give him any face, he didn't dare to complain at all. He had already seen the horror of the Lin Group. Just yesterday, this woman called Lin Wanyu had brought four of the five Supreme Gods under Oddity Chinese Network, 26 Great Gods, and more than 100 Mid Gods and Little Gods 'contracts to him.
Then, without any suspense, Lin Wanyu took over the Singularity Chinese Network. There was no other way. If they lost these authors, then the Singularity Chinese Network would only exist in name. This was because those readers were not fans of Singularity Chinese Network, but fans of the authors!
Fortunately, Lin Wanyu's conditions were very generous. After conversion, not only did he not lose out, but his personal assets instantly doubled.
Just like Green Melon, Wan Yu couldn't wait to watch it a second time after watching it the first time. As she watched, she habitually wanted to throw in a few Alliance Masters first. However, this was Green Melon's account, so there were no Singularity Coins in it.
"Oh right, Qing Gua, can we remove all the other books and recommend all of them to Wen Xiaoyi?”
