The next morning, Wei Xiaoyu dressed up carefully and insisted on pulling Shen Xin downstairs with her.

Shen Xin did not refuse.

When the two arrived at the cafe fifteen minutes early, Li Xianghua was already waiting there.

When Li Xianghua saw the graceful Wei Xiaoyu, he could hardly take his eyes off her.

After shaking hands warmly with Wei Xiaoyu and exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Xiangyang glanced at Shen Xin and asked, "Who is this?"

Shen Xin smiled and waved her hand. "My name is Shen Xin, and I'm her friend. Manager Li, don't worry about me. I'm just a transparent person today."

Li Xiangyang shook hands with Shen Xin very gentlemanly and began his speech.

"Ms. Wei, actually our company doesn't sign works by unknown authors.

But... I do think you're quite talented, so I've done a lot of work with the company."

Wei Xiaoyu nodded excitedly in thanks, "Thank you, Manager Zhang!"

Li Xianghua put on the air of a successful man and said calmly, "Ms. Wei, I hope you can seize this opportunity. Please take a look at these two contracts first."

After Wei Xiaoyu carefully read the second contract, he frowned slightly.

"Does this mean that the copyright to any book I write within the next twenty years will belong to both of us? This... is this still a private contract?"

Li Xianghua smiled and nodded, "In the eyes of us professionals, your work can only be considered a little bit spiritual at best. There are a lot of novels like this.

If I help you in the future, it won't be difficult for your novels to sell at sky-high prices.

So this contract is actually a benefit for you.

In addition, this contract also gives you peace of mind. Now that we are bound together, I will definitely not be stingy with my resources in the future and will definitely push you to the pinnacle of your career."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Xiaoyu's heart suddenly became nervous.

She had to admit that as a little-known author, if she had a promoter to help her, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But once this kind of contract is signed, it is equivalent to signing a contract to sell oneself.

"If I don't sign this contract, will the copyright be lost?" Wei Xiaoyu asked weakly.

Li Xianghua smiled disdainfully, "I know you're making your own calculations. But I can tell you very clearly that this is the current situation.

For works of the same quality, if I offer 100,000 yuan, a large number of authors will rush to sign contracts with me. Why should I pay three times the price to sign a contract with you?

It has to be admitted that Li Xianghua's PUA had a certain effect on people like Wei Xiaoyu who have not yet found their self-worth.

Her eyes became a little unfocused.

Li Xianghua continued, "Except for me, no one in this world would offer such a high price. My time is valuable. If you don't want me to, I'll take my leave."

Wei Xiaoyu looked at Shen Xin.

It was a look asking for help.

Shen Xin smiled and said, "Sister Yu, didn't you say that there was another company that wanted to buy your copyright?"

Li Xianghua smiled disdainfully, "Little brother, your clumsy acting is too fake."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice was heard.

"Xiang Hua? Why is it you?"

When Li Xianghua heard this voice, his expression suddenly changed.

He immediately turned his head and saw Zhang Xiaoxue looking at him in surprise.

Shen Xin nudged Wei Xiaoyu with his elbow and said, "Introduce yourself!"

Wei Xiaoyu quickly stood up and shook hands with Zhang Xiaoxue. "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat! This is Mr. Li Xianghua, the development manager of Lightspeed Films."

Zhang Xiaoxue is a very smart person and she understood everything immediately.

"Haha, Manager Li, right? I'm Zhang Xiaoxue, the vice president of Ailong Company."

Even if Li Xianghua was thick-skinned, he still managed to dig out a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment under such circumstances.

"Uh...that...Xiaoxue, I actually..."

Zhang Xiaoxue smiled faintly, "Manager Li, I'm afraid we don't have much friendship, right? Just call me Mr. Zhang."

After she finished speaking, she sat down and glanced at Shen Xin secretly out of the corner of her eye.

She didn't expect Shen Xin to be there.

However, it seemed that Shen Xin had no intention of revealing his identity, so she chose to ignore Shen Xin's existence.

"Ms. Wei, our company is willing to purchase the copyrights of all six of your books."

Wei Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are there any additional agreements?"

Zhang Xiaoxue shook her head and said, "There's no additional agreement. Our company is willing to purchase the copyright for 500,000 yuan per copy."

Wei Xiaoyu's mouth suddenly opened wide. "Five...five hundred thousand per book?"

Li Xianghua was very clear at this time that his relationship with Zhang Xiaoxue had completely collapsed and there was no room for recovery.

In that case, let’s just start the war.

"Ms. Wei, our company's gold medal production team is the best in the country. If you give us the copyright of the book, I can guarantee that you will become famous overnight. This is much better than the mere three million."

Wei Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, "Manager Li, I don't want to sign a private contract with you."

The second private contract was originally signed by Li Xianghua, who wanted to take advantage of the fact that Wei Xiaoyu was not well-known yet and make some profits.

Now of course he knew that he didn't have that chance.

"Haha, that was just a test for Miss Wei. How could I possibly sign that kind of contract with you?

How about this? I can also purchase the copyrights for six books, and I'll pay a total of 3.6 million."

Wei Xiaoyu was stunned. He didn't expect that his net worth was skyrocketing.

Just when he was about to agree, Zhang Xiaoxue said decisively: "Six million!"

Li Xianghua's face suddenly turned pale. "Zhang Feixue, what do you mean? You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Zhang Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him in disgust. "Please respect yourself! I don't want to talk to a liar like you who's full of lies."

Wei Xiaoyu felt that there were more and more question marks in his head, but his brain circuits were increasingly unable to keep up with the progress.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Li Xianghua immediately turned to look at Wei Xiaoyu.

"The price of copyright is not the ultimate measure of a successful writer. I can use the company's gold medal production team to help your work reach the pinnacle."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiaoxue smiled disdainfully.

"You don't know yet, do you? Last night, I signed an agreement with your production team. They should be paying the penalty and completing the resignation procedures at your company now.

They will come to work in our company tomorrow."

Li Xianghua knew that Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't be so naive as to joke about such things.

He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Shen Xin exclaimed in astonishment, "Tsk tsk! Manager Li, you started by saying Wei Xiaoyu was worthless, but then you portrayed yourself as a mentor.

You also want to use this opportunity of the company buying out the copyright to benefit yourself, and want to trick her into signing 50% of all the copyrights for the rest of her life to you.

"You're in a TV show? Can you really make it to the second episode?"

Li Xianghua's face turned red and white. He turned around, pointed at Zhang Xiaoxue, and shouted, "You are such a vicious woman! Didn't you say before that your company didn't agree to buy out the copyrights of these books?

Do you know that doing this will hurt me? I have taken such good care of you for the past six months, and this is how you treat me, right? "
