“Miss Ji Nian, are you willing to sell the copyright to us?” Peng He was a little surprised. This woman actually had no other conditions? Under normal circumstances, others would start the price as high as possible, eager to get more money.
Ji Nian was shocked. 50 million? Is he kidding? She must be willing! But in order to demonstrate her restraint, she still calmly replied, "Okay, would it be convenient to chat face-to-face?"
When Peng He heard this, he was a little excited and extrely delighted inside. He felt this was the best cooperation he had ever negotiated at work.
"Great, great! I'm very happy that Miss Ji Nian is willing to cooperate with us. I'll arrange the location for our face-to-face eting. Are you available tomorrow?” Peng He asked with a smile.
"I'm available tomorrow. Um... I live quite far away, you'd better send the address in advance so that I can plan my ti," Ji Nian thought for a mont. She lived in the suburbs, three hours away from the city center.
"No problem, Miss Ji Nian, don't worry," Peng He said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then," Ji Nian replied.
After hanging up the phone, she started floating. She didn't expect that she could sell Ordinary Road at such a sky-high price instantly, 50 million, she didn’t even dare to think about it. It seed that the day she paid off her debts was not far away.
"Happy," Ji Nian laughed out loud while holding her phone, enjoying the pages on Douyin.
The comnts she previously left under the trailer were also voted to the top, and many people followed to leave ssages below.
"Speechless, she's relying on this popularity too?"
"Does Ji Nian know the actors in it?"
"Could Ji Nian also be a fan of this book?"
"I noticed she liked all the comnts praising the newcor actress who played the princess!"
"No surprise they probably know each other."
Ji Nian saw a bunch of comnts below but didn’t bother to respond. Instead, she turned off Douyin’s private ssage function, and then went to turn off the private ssage function on Weibo as well. Such things were annoying.
Looking outside, it was already dark. Her stomach was also growling with hunger. She sighed and decided to solve her food problem with instant noodles first.
Just as the water started boiling, she tore open the package, but then heard a ssage pop up on WeChat. It was a friend request.
Ji Nian wondered and first put the noodles in the bowl to soak, covering it to let it soak on its own.
She opened WeChat. It was a profile picture of a landscape, with a note below, “I’m Peng He.”
After accepting his friend request, she curiously clicked open his Monts. But surprisingly, they were all photos of scenery, and Yu Luobai.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as a top celebrity, his looks are indeed superb," Ji Nian muttered. With one hand holding the bowl of noodles to the table, she lanted the stunning beauty in the photos on her phone.
In the photo, the man was wearing a black suit, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, his eyes a bit cold. His features were very three-dinsional, giving off a very steady feeling.
Peng He: Miss Ji Nian, I just forgot to ask for your WeChat. I tried your phone number and it worked. You don't mind, do you?
Before Ji Nian could finish looking through his Monts, a ssage popped up. She opened it.
Ji Nian: I don’t.
Peng He: The venue is Bulgari Hotel in the city center. We can talk while eating there. Let’s et at 12 noon tomorrow, does this ti work?
Ji Nian: Yes, no problem.
Peng He: Ok, see you tomorrow!
Ji Nian replied with an emoji, then exited WeChat. It was 8:30 pm. She opened the TV series that made Shen Shuyao famous overnight, which was starting to update online. She clicked to watch the first episode.
At 8:30 pm, Shen Shuyao got out of the car at the hotel. Not long after arriving in the private room, Director Lin was already red-faced from drinking.
A few actresses were giggling nonstop. Shen Shuyao looked coldly at the scene before her eyes. The seductive appearance of those fellow actresses made her lower her eyes, sneering inside.
Director Lin had long fancied this innocent actress. He finally managed to invite her to this dinner party. His eyes showed sothing ambiguous as he laughed, “Shuyao, it’s not easy getting you to co once. You have to drink a forfeit of three glasses this ti.”
Shen Shuyao was singled out. Looking at the man whose eyes were full of lust, she smiled awkwardly, “I’m not very good at drinking.”
“Are you not giving face?” Director Lin moved closer with a hint of threat in his eyes, ogling lasciviously at her fair neck, unable to help swallowing.
"It's just three forfeit drinks, Shuyao just debuted for a year, you should practice your alcohol tolerance." A face with obvious costic surgery laughed beside.
“That’s right, that’s right.” The people around echoed.
Director Lin handed her the wine glass, smiling as he gestured for her to drink it, and tried to put his arm around her shoulders.
Shen Shuyao avoided the director and picked up the wine glass with difficulty to drink it. She was choked by the taste and accidentally coughed badly several tis.
“Hahahaha, I like straightforward people like you.” Director Lin laughed loudly, his face already a bit drunk.
After an hour, although Shen Shuyao was vigilant in her heart, she was still drunk sloppily by him.
Feeling unwell, she rubbed her temples. Her eyes were misty as she said, "Director Lin, I need to go to the restroom."
Seeing that she was already drunk, Director Lin looked at her with a smile. There was sothing insidious in his eyes as he asked, “You're drunk. Let help you over there!”
Shen Shuyao gave a start, and quickly declined, “I couldn’t trouble Director Lin. I’ll go by myself and be right back.”
Director Lin looked ambiguous. Stroking the woman's arm, he said aningfully, "Then I'll wait for you."
Shen Shuyao was so scared that her heart thumped rapidly. She squeezed out an ugly smile and answered, “Okay.”
Staggering all the way out of the private room, Shen Shuyao held on to the wall. Her head was dizzy. At the mont, she only wanted to get away.
Clutching the wall all the way, she walked tipsily in her high heels. She leaned against the elevator wall after getting in. Her eyes couldn’t see clearly.
Just then, she heard the elevator ding. Still dizzy, she stumbled out, also not knowing where she was. Seeing a room with the door ajar, she thought she was ho. She went right in and closed the door.
Shen Shuyao saw the dark room. She walked further inside and forcefully kicked off her high heels before collapsing onto the bed.
At this mont, her whole body only felt dizzy. In a daze, she suddenly felt a weight on her body.
She felt heavy and couldn’t breathe. Pushing hard, it only led to more intense actions.
"Who are you?" Shen Shuyao's tone was frightened. The alcohol instantly sobered her up a bit. She realized she had walked into the wrong room.
Then she only heard the man breathing heavily. With a harsh tug from his big hand, her skirt instantly slid off.
"Ah!" Shen Shuyao shrieked, desperately trying to escape, but unable to break free from the man's arms no matter what.
Feeling the woman's struggle in his arms, it was as if the man was enraged. His actions beca rough as he fiercely attacked the woman.
Shen Shuyao couldn't resist. In the dark, she only heard the man's panting as she cried out until everything went black and she fainted.
