I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 74 It will grow in a few years
"Jiang Yingzhu, without any personal attacks."

Li Yan pouted, immediately displeased.

"You caterpillar? You came here naked and asked me why I don't have one!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu became extremely anxious, feeling both ashamed and flustered. She jumped up and down in a panic and immediately retorted.

"You were just a kid who didn't know any better, how dare you say that!"

"You said I'm younger than you and I'll grow taller in a few years, but... Waaaaah!"

She glared at him, pried Li Yan off his hand to cover her mouth, and went all out.

"Stop talking, I'm being wrong."

Li Yan was speechless. Because of this, he was ridiculed by the boys in his village for years as the innocent Chu Nan.

"What is that meat-shaped Ganoderma?"

Mei Mengqian overheard the two arguing and vaguely sensed something was wrong, so she timidly looked at Jiang Yingzhu.

I hope I haven't made a fool of myself.

Jiang Yingzhu slapped Li Yan's hand away and whispered a few words in Mei Mengqian's ear.

"ah!"

Mei Mengqian gasped softly, glanced at Li Yan, and pulled Jiang Yingzhu back into the house.

Li Yan sighed. Yet another pure white flower had been stained yellow.

Back in his room, he performed his daily cultivation practice, and then checked his cultivation data.

The data is steadily improving, and I feel it could become a top-quality product next month.

It may take some time for the book to be finalized, and at that time, the book by Qidian will not be so easy to finalize.

Moreover, Li Yan's daily output of 10,000 units is being diluted and averaged out.

He writes about three chapters a day; any more than that would dilute the content too much, and there would be many skipped subscriptions.

It's too small and a bit expensive, so some readers might not be willing to buy it.

A little over three thousand words per chapter is just right!

After finishing the draft, Li Yan booked a recording studio and will record the song tomorrow.

Because of the "rising step by step" phenomenon, he also searched for promotional songs from other brands.

Some are nationally renowned brands.

But Li Yan may not have heard their songs, and even if he has, he may not know that they are promotional songs.

So I gave up.

······
The next day
In the living room, there was fruit on the table; yesterday's study group had moved here.

Hua Junshu curiously looked around Li Yan's house, then glanced at the empty seats and looked at Jiang Yingzhu.

Jiang Yingzhu sensed her gaze and turned her head away.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Where is Li Yan?

"Oh, the contract is in the room."

Hua Junshu nodded and continued working on the problems.

At that moment, Li Yan was adding to the contract, following the instructions given by Attorney Wei in the Feixin video call, to make necessary revisions.

For example, the scope of authorization may explicitly exclude copyrights for lyrics and music, recording rights, cover performance rights, etc.

There are also restrictions on derivative works, etc.

Li Yan didn't realize until he changed his mind that the other party had dug quite a few traps for him.

Good grief, if I hadn't noticed, you would have been the one who profited!
Li Yan felt that working with Zhao Fei was a bit tiring.

After the contract was revised, it was reviewed and modified by the other party before being sent back. Li Yan then reviewed and revised it again before sending it back.

After doing this three times, the task was finally completed.

Li Yan glanced at the time; it had been more than two hours.

He looked at Attorney Wei, who was in the video call.

"Thank you, Aunt Wei."

"You're welcome, but Xiao Li, I think you need to start a company, otherwise the tax burden will be too high."

“I know, but as you know my current situation, I need to discuss it with my family.”

After chatting with Attorney Wei for a few more minutes, Li Yan transferred 10,000 yuan to her as a consultation fee.

We can't always rely on personal connections, and besides, we don't have any personal connections with Attorney Wei.

Seeing that Attorney Wei had received payment, Li Yan checked the contract again.

There are many things mentioned above, but Li Yan can only gain two benefits.

One is an exclusive usage license bought out for 400,000, for a total of three years, which is 120 units.

The other is a revenue-sharing agreement, where you can get 0.1% of the sales volume once it exceeds one million.

50% of the payment will be transferred after the song is released, and the remaining amount will be transferred after the promotion of the advertising song.

Li Yan calculated that this money was not after tax, unlike the last time.

He will probably get 100.8 million this time.

Nearly 200,000 yuan disappeared in an instant!

Li Yan sighed, feeling a pang of heartache, but not a deep pain. It really is true that ruthless capitalists make more money!

He took out his phone and called Lao Li.

"Hey Dad, help me set up a company."

"Why are you starting a company? Your mother and I are running a perfectly good shop."

"That's for tax reductions."

Li Yan recounted how he had sold another song.

Old Li didn't quite understand why his son was so talented, but that didn't stop him from feeling sorry for him.

Upon hearing that the payment was 200,000 yuan, more than he had ever earned in his entire life, he was heartbroken.

"Do it! We absolutely have to do it! Why should those wealthy companies have to pay less? Do it thoroughly!"

Li Yan didn't disturb the angry young man from Zhongdeng. After he calmed down, he reminded him:
"Remember to go tomorrow. It's Sunday today, so they're not working."

"got it."

"If you have any questions, you can ask your waitress Xiaxia."

Since meeting Attorney Wei last time, Li Yan discovered that Xia Xia seemed to have some connection with Attorney Wei.

Although the other party has already started school, they have not stopped their part-time job.

Li Yan felt that he could have Ms. Fang make some contact, perhaps with the income company or something.

After finishing all his business, Li Yan took a book and went into the living room to study.

The main thing is to practice problems, to find all the knowledge I had forgotten before, and to refresh it.

But he didn't study for long because it was noon.

"Senior, what do you like to eat? We'll cook at home for lunch."

"Let me help."

Hua Junshu put down his pen and paper and said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenyu and Gan Tiantian exchanged a glance and remained silent; they couldn't cook.

Li Yan shook his head.

"no need."

"No, I can't eat without your help."

As Hua Junshu spoke, he stood up and deftly tied his hair into a high ponytail.

Then he went into the kitchen, looked around, and took the rice and rice cooker that were on the table.

"Steamed rice, that's fine too."

Li Yan nodded upon seeing this; he had no idea that Hua Junshu could cook.

After he took out the ingredients, he saw that Hua Junshu was already standing beside him.

She glanced at the things on the cutting board.

"Kung Pao Chicken, Stir-fried Pork, Sweet Potato Noodles with Shredded Pork?"

"How did you know, senior?"

"I guessed it because I see you guys eat in the cafeteria all the time."

Hua Junshu paused for a moment, then added, "It was about the same yesterday at noon."

After saying that, she glanced at the bag of plump shiitake mushrooms, then looked up at Li Yan.

"I do like eating shiitake mushrooms; you've observed very carefully."

"Hehe." Li Yan chuckled.

Then I witnessed my senior's cooking skills, which were different from Li Yan's, who had been trained by the system.

My senior has her own style of cooking, which is neat and smooth.

Chop vegetables, prepare ingredients, stir-fry!

She seemed to be solving a problem, but she had thought through every step.

The movements were fluid and complete, leaving Li Yan no chance to intervene.

All I could do was take out a towel to wipe her sweat.

But wiping away sweat is nice too, it lets you admire the senior's cool profile up close.

He has a high, straight nose, deep-set eyes, and a well-defined jawline.

Her face is pale. Hey, why is her face a little red? Is it normal for a person to get this hot while cooking?
He then raised the towel in his hand and wiped his senior's forehead.

Seeing that his senior's dish was about to be ready, he immediately grabbed a plate.

"you"

Hua Junshu finally couldn't hold back any longer and took the opportunity to look at him.

"take a break."

“That won’t do,” he said, holding up the towel in his hand again. “It was agreed that I would cook, but now it’s all my seniors doing the cooking.”

Hua Junshu paused for a moment; she couldn't stop once she started.

She glanced at the last plate of uncooked bok choy and handed it over.

This time, Li Yan fell silent. He should have come up with a different excuse.
