The reception room was quiet for a moment. Screenwriter Wu, who was still full of anger, became silent all of a sudden, as if he didn't understand what was going on now. He looked at the clock and the person talking at the door, but he couldn't help it. As soon as the other party was supposed to be an elder, he held back and said nothing, his face was about to turn red.

Shi Yutong poked out a small head from behind the old man, stuck out his tongue, and explained helplessly: "Dad just told me when he came here today, Mr. Wu, maybe we still need to cooperate."

Screenwriter Wu turned his face away and said nothing, just stretched out his hand and pushed the check forward again, clearly meaning that he was unwilling to accept it.

Mr. Su leaned on crutches and walked over to sit down with the support of his precious daughter. He nodded and smiled at Zhong Yi, and then said to screenwriter Wu: "I asked them to discuss Mr. Wu's works, and Mr. Wu signed the contract himself. Yes, no one forced you with a knife, what does that mean now?"

"I-I don't-know-know that you are one-together!" Screenwriter Wu, as a playwright, studies writing, and the mundane tasks like selling scripts are of course handled by his agent, who just lost Zhong Yiyi A lot of money, she was a little tight, and the price offered by the other party was very good, and the agent didn't think there was any problem. Who knew that it was sold by Zhong Yi, so she couldn't accept it: "No, no Calculate!"

"You child, why don't you have the spirit of contract at all?" The old man shook his head and stared at Director Wu like a doll: "My child, aren't everyone in this world as easy-to-talk as Zhong Yi? I heard that you violated it before." She made an appointment. Not only did she not care about it, but she also came to your door many times hoping to continue to cooperate with you. Young people can be a little more arrogant, but not too arrogant. How about this? Since you don’t want to cooperate with Zhong Yi, then continue to press If you deal with breach of contract, then you lose money, and we will find another screenwriter."

Screenwriter Wu didn't expect the old man to be so talkative, so he immediately handed the check to the old man: "Money, here is the money."

The old man holding the check smiled and shook his head, then put the check back: "You, it's not enough, kid, you're still far from it."

"W-how is it not enough?" Screenwriter Wu was very surprised: "Enough, enough!"

Zhong Yi looked at the old man and couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking for a while. She still wanted to cooperate with the screenwriter Wu. Is the old man's talk broken?

The wrist was pulled, and the little daughter-in-law lowered her head and smiled at her, as if to reassure her that it was okay. Although Zhong Yi was confused, she didn't care too much. Anyway, she didn't have a better way to do it. fix this.

"Three, three times the compensation, how, how could it not be enough?" Screenwriter Wu obviously didn't realize that this was actually just a trick set by the old man for her.

"Of course not enough." The old man smiled: "Since you don't have such a good spirit of cooperation, when you signed the contract, the liquidated damages were written as ten times the compensation. Didn't you see it clearly, my child? Bring the contract to Wu Teacher, take a look."

Immediately, someone sent the paper version of the contract to Screenwriter Wu, and even turned to the page of the breach of contract thoughtfully. A few lines were listed separately, which was very obvious at a glance. Unfortunately, when she signed the contract, she He really didn't watch her carefully.

One is because of the trust in the agent, and the other is that these contracts are basically the same. She signed too many, which made her feel numb. Basically, the contracts handed over to her in the later stage were directly Turning to the last page and writing the name is complete, it is very worry-free, and there has never been a mistake.

She read the contract this time, but her eyes were attracted by the previous vested interests, so that when it came to the compensation clause, she was a little distracted, thinking that she would not breach the contract, so she didn't take it to heart. , all in a hurry to run into Zhong Yi alone!

Screenwriter Wu looked at those few lines, and silently calculated in his heart how much liquidated damages he should pay, and how much liquid assets he still had in his body. Before he could figure it out, he heard the old man say.

"Son, our company bought you three sets of scripts and the full copyright of [-] books in a package this time. This is a lot of compensation. You have to think about it carefully." Mr. Su continued to follow the steps while leaning on a cane. Shanyu: "It's easy to collect such a large amount of money. If you really want to take it out, you have to think carefully."

Shi Yutong nodded madly at the side: "Yes, it's a lot of money. If you pay such a compensation, then we don't need a script to make any new movies. My salary for this new movie is not as much as your compensation."

Zhong Yi watched the old and the young sing together, shook his head and sat beside his daughter-in-law without talking nonsense.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that this screenwriter Wu was really not an opponent of the old and the young, and if she was added, she would be a bit of a bully, not to mention that he was not good at speaking, a bit unkind, Zhong Yi tilted his head and gave Shi Yutong an approving smile, automatically and consciously held his daughter-in-law's hand, stared at the old man's gaze, pretending to be calm and natural.

"I, I will find a way to pay compensation." Screenwriter Wu pursed his lips: "Now, I don't have cash, I don't have that much."

"That won't work, we have to accept cash." Shi Yutong said innocently: "The kind that don't even want a house."

"Teacher Wu, actually I don't quite understand why you are so stubborn?" Shi Yutong said as if we were discussing it: "The old saying is good, if you don't practice, you don't have the right to speak. Look, you are listening to some gossip. Just for us, Zhong Yi and I have such a big prejudice, it’s fine if you don’t want to cooperate with us, but don’t you think that you are a bit unfair? Don’t look at things so one-sidedly, don’t just see Those murky ones, not everything is what you think it is."

"Zhong Yi said, you playwrights admire sincere love the most." Shi Yutong looked sincerely: "But you don't know us well, so how do you know that our love is not sincere? Ever? I have liked Zhong Yi for almost ten years. I have liked her since my adolescence, from blind worship to appreciation, and then to falling in love with her step by step. How many decades can a person have? I am I don't understand why you all look at us with those colored glasses, either that I hold the clock and my thighs, or that we hype each other, say blessings on our mouths, and hide sarcasm in our eyes, as if we have seen us What's the point of breaking up in the future?" The choked voice made people worry.

Zhong Yi pressed Shi Yutong's hand to stop her from continuing, hugged the young daughter-in-law's shoulder, patted it gently, and comforted Shi Yutong softly: "Baby, don't cry, I'm sorry, I'm too stubborn .”

Then he collected his expression and said to screenwriter Wu: "I'm sorry for making it difficult for Teacher Wu. I accept the check and I won't bother Teacher Wu anymore."

The words should have ended like this, Zhong Yi lowered his head and rubbed the hair of the person in his arms, and said with some helplessness and bitterness: "Actually, the reason why I have disturbed Teacher Wu repeatedly is just to fight for breath. It is said on the Internet that Mr. Wu is unwilling to cooperate because he discriminates against homosexuals. I don’t believe it. Teacher, come and prove to those who read our joke behind our backs that they are wrong, they are wrong."

"Actually, I was wrong." Zhong Yi shook his head, hugged the person in his arms tightly, with a bit of pity: "This label has long been solidified, they will not see what you have gone through, will not I know what kind of stories and emotions there are between you, I don’t, I don’t understand your mutual support, I only see this label, and I can only see this label, including myself, I care too much, I want everyone to bless us too much, I want to tear off this label too much, and be like ordinary heterosexuals."

"But what if you tear it off?" Zhong Yi held Shi Yutong's hand, held her face, and smiled softly: "Baby is wronged, for my selfishness, you spoil me so much. In fact, you don't care." , the person I care about is always only me. You are just my heroine. No matter how the script changes, you are just my protagonist. You have never had any relationship with others. It is me who puts those negative The rhetoric has been magnified too much, in fact, it doesn’t matter to us, I have you, you have me, we have parents and family, that’s enough.”

"Stop crying, how about having afternoon tea with Dad later?" Zhong Yi looked at Mr. Su inquiringly: "Or, let's go horseback riding with Dad. Did you forget what you said last time? Take me to see it together." Look at the pony that Papa bought for you, is it good?"

Shi Yutong hid his face in Zhong Yi's arms in embarrassment: "Who is crying, but not crying."

The old man also sighed and waved his hand, telling people to pack up and prepare to leave. Originally, he planned to use means to support the two girls. The young man was indecisive and hesitant, and the old man didn't care about those things. He wanted to sing a bad face. In the end, instead, after listening to his daughter’s inner confession, Mr. Su was very glad that although he was a bit repulsed by his daughter’s marriage, he did not stop the relationship between the two. , is enough for a tragic drama, it is simply too sad.

"Since Zhong Yi said so, then my old man will not make things difficult for you." Mr. Su sighed, reached out for the secretary to take the contract, and put it directly into the shredder: "I don't want the money anymore, just be, Do a good deed. Mr. Wu, please go slowly and don't see him off."

The secretary also kindly helped to clean up the checks on the table. Director Wu was silent for a while, and did not move his feet. He wiped away his tears after sneaking around Shi Yutong's side for a long time, and the people there still had no intention of moving.

Shi Yutong was puzzled: "Mr. Wu, are you going back on your word? Are you willing to cooperate with us?"

"It's, it's, it's my fault that I violated the contract before." Screenwriter Wu looked a little unnatural: "You, you said it. Yes, without investigation, investigation, you have no right to speak, and others have no right to criticize you, you life. Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't, I shouldn't be so arbitrary, I, I promise to cooperate."

Zhong Yi raised his eyebrows: "Then what if I don't want to continue to cooperate with Mr. Wu now? After all, I suddenly figured it out, why should I spend money to make myself unhappy?"

"Ah?" Screenwriter Wu didn't know how to respond, so he froze on the spot.

"Just kidding, Mr. Wu, don't take it seriously." Zhong Yi's mouth curled up and brought out the next sentence: "I believe that Mr. Wu will not be unhappy with me, we have a happy cooperation."
