The more she said, the more likely she was to give herself away, and Qin Song didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer. She waved to Pei Xingzhi, turned around, and walked back to her office, leaving only one last sentence behind.

“I have money, I can afford to support those two employees, so you can hire them without worry.”

"..." Ye Ci turned her head, staring at Pei Xingzhi in disbelief, "Brother Pei, shall we confess?"

Pei Xingzhi hesitated for a few seconds, then decisively said, "I confess! Your sister-in-law can support me."

"..." Ye Ci pursed his lips speechlessly, "People said they support employees, not you."

"..." Pei Xingzhi stared at him with a resentful expression.

"Click..."

Qin Song gently closed the door and silently shouted into the room, holding his phone.

"Ah...ah...I made money! I made a lot of money!"

A few days ago, her video of the Wind Whisper Necklace garnered over two million likes on Douyin (TikTok). The official team of the game "King of Glory" noticed her, not only liking her video but also personally posting a comment claiming ownership.

However, she was busy communicating with Jiang Mian about design details and didn't notice the official message immediately. When she finished her work and opened the app again, she received a private message from the official "King of Legends" team.

She still remembers the contents of the private message.

—Miss Big Flower, do you sell your articles? Xiao Wang is currently planning a series of hero collaboration items, and he thinks your article would be perfect for Wind Whisper. Would you consider a collaboration?

Qin Song had always dreamed of receiving a collaboration offer from a major company. Therefore, she replied immediately the moment she saw the private message.

--consider!

So she added Xiao Wang on WeChat and they started communicating about the details of the collaboration that same day.

Because she was a new designer, the copyright buyout fee offered by "Legend of Kings" wasn't very high. Compared to other designers who received millions for their copyrights, she could only get a little over 800,000 at most.

Of that 800,000+ yuan, there were material costs, labor costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In the end, the profit she could actually take home was estimated to be only a little over 500,000 yuan.

But 500,000 is already enough. Once Jiang Mian's final payment comes through, and we finish that multi-million dollar influencer deal, we can easily scrape together the salaries for those two employees, right?

Although she only drew a small pie, she firmly believed that she could make it a reality!

Now that she has experience selling her work to major companies, she can raise her prices a notch next time she releases an image!

Yay! The future looks bright!

Because she still has two orders to complete, Qin Song doesn't plan to release any new designs anytime soon. She informed her fans on Xiaodigua that she would only be sharing gossip and not accepting wishes during this period, telling those who had wished to see designs to be prepared for a long wait.

Her fans are very understanding of her and happy for her success.

Pei Dahua's long-time fan of ten years: [Dahua, you've only been registered on Xiaodigua for three months and you've already sold three paintings! That's amazing! Do you have a system? Every painting you make sells!]

A Little Chestnut: [Ahhh! Big Flower, I'm your idol! I've been at Little Sweet Potato for half a year, but I haven't sold a single manuscript. I'm only asking for 500, why isn't anyone buying? Big Flower, can you give me some guidance?]

Have a Mixue Ice Cream: [Big Flower, I've watched you grow from a few dozen fans to tens of thousands, and your copyright fees have gone from 30,000 to hundreds of thousands. Heaven knows how excited I am!]

I want a double toilet: [Big Flower! My dear Big Flower! Even though you work hard drawing, don't forget to update me with gossip! How can I live without your gossip!]

Lowercase says: "Three years of success earning two cents a month: [Big Flower, honestly confess, are you some kind of pro player's alt account? How could a complete newbie draw such amazing designs? Are you some pro player here to slaughter newbies?]"

A big shot? Qin Song didn't consider herself a big shot. Before she transmigrated, she worked as a jewelry designer for eight years. Because she was too lazy and wanted to retire, she rejected a friend's invitation to start a business and also turned down offers from several well-known jewelry companies.

She loved freedom and being unrestrained. When she ran out of money, she would draw a design and sell it, using the money to travel and have fun. She could have achieved great success in jewelry design, but because she was too playful, she remained a relatively expensive, niche designer until her death.

Although she didn't suffer much hardship during her life, she still had some regrets when she was about to die.

So this time, she wanted to revisit the path she had previously rejected. She wanted to see what kind of future awaited her if she accepted the jewelry company's invitation; and how high she could climb if she started her own studio.

The road was somewhat unfamiliar, but fortunately Pei Xingzhi was with us.

Pei Xingzhi's future will be glorious, and so will hers. She even felt that she would be even more impressive than Pei Xingzhi in the future, because "Big Boss Pei Xingzhi" was supported by her selling design drawings.

……

The internet celebrity was very busy with work, filming during the day and live-streaming sales at night. Her meeting with Qin Song was repeatedly postponed, finally set for next Monday.

Qin Song secretly sent a WeChat message to Jiang Mian.

Pei Dahua: Sister Jiang, did you tell that internet celebrity about my fees? (Note: Official collaborating designer for "Legend of Kings")

Jiang Mian: ...No need to brag, I know your design sold for over 800,000...

Pei Dahua: Okay. (Note: Official collaborating designer for "Legend of Kings")

……

Jiang Mian was utterly speechless, and in a fit of anger, she sent out more than a dozen strings of ellipses.

Pei Dahua: Hehe.

Jiang Mian: I haven't talked to her about the fees yet, but she's very rich, so she can accept it even if you secretly raise the price.

Qin Song was finally relieved.

Thank you, Sister Jiang!

Jiang Mian: If you get her on your side, I'll raise the price for your next design. (Note: This is an official designer collaborating with "Legend of Kings," so don't go too far; my studio can't afford an 800,000 yuan copyright buyout fee.)

Pei Dahua: Sister Jiang, you are my benefactor. If you buy the picture, I will never raise the price.

Jiang Mian: Wow, that's pretty kind of you.

Qin Song smiled and replied with a voice message.

"You must have a conscience. You helped me when I was in my most difficult time. How can I forget your kindness?"

Jiang Mian: Hmm~ Being grateful and repaying kindness is a wonderful quality!

Qin Song replied with an emoji.

A few seconds later, she sent another message.

—Qin Song, you are completely different from what those rumors say. Who did you offend? A perfectly good girl's reputation has been ruined like this.

Qin Song smiled helplessly and was about to reply when he received a call from Pei's mother.

"Hey, Mom."

She answered the phone, got up, and left the office.

Outside the office, Pei Xingzhi was studying the evening's menu. Hearing Qin Song call "Mom," he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked over.

There were no outsiders in the studio, so Qin Song put the call on speakerphone.

Pei's mother's voice came through the speaker clearly.

"Xiao Song, do you and Xing Zhi have time now? Can you come home for a bit? That Xiao Li is bringing people to see the house this afternoon, and I'm feeling uneasy, afraid that something might happen again. I'd like you to come back and keep an eye on things for me."
