In the teahouse, Li Zi'an and Zhou Ru sat opposite each other, and Zhou Ru drank tea quietly, giving Li Zi'an plenty of time to think.

In Zhou Ru's view, this is actually nothing to consider, as a newcomer to get a buyout price of 500,000 yuan, this starting point is really very high, just take those young best-selling authors on the market now, it can be said that there are only a handful of people who can have such a starting point.

Therefore, Zhou Ru is very sure that in the end, Li Zi'an's choice must be a buyout, after all, it is unreasonable to leave the immediate interests alone, and choose a very risky cooperation plan.

"Sister Zhou......"

"I decided ......"

"I choose the second option!"

After several ideological struggles, Li Zi'an finally made up his mind, and he decided to give it a go.

"Huh?" Zhou Ru, who was originally quite calm and drinking tea, was stunned when she heard Li Zi'an's choice, and said in disbelief: "You choose the second cooperation plan?"

"Yes!"

When Zhou Ru heard this, she suddenly became a little anxious, you must know that before she came this time, the meaning of the leadership of the publishing house was obvious, that is, to let her talk about the buyout of the book as much as possible, and she had high hopes for this book.

Originally, Zhou Ru was very confident, because the other party was just a rookie writer, and she was not very old, and it should be difficult to resist in the face of the temptation of 500,000 huge sums of money, so she has always been sitting firmly in the posture of Diaoyutai, but she never expected that the other party's choice turned out to be the second cooperation plan.

"Mr. Li, I advise you to think about it carefully, royalty payment is indeed the most popular form of cooperation in the industry, but it is for best-selling authors who are already very famous, they have a fan base, and royalty payment is the most profitable for them. ”

"And Mr. Li, you are just a rookie writer, although the quality of your book is extremely high, but in the actual sales, whether a book can sell well or not, there are many factors involved, if you choose the second cooperation plan, if you want to get more than 500,000 yuan in revenue, at the usual price of 25 yuan per book, you have to sell at least more than 400,000 books, you are sure ......"

Next, Zhou Ru said a lot of bitter words, but the words basically meant the same thing, hoping that Li Zian would choose to buy out instead of royalty payment.

Li Zi'an listened to Zhou Ru's persuasion, and his heart, which was originally a little wavering, was firm.

For a long time, Zhou Ru's mouth was dry, and he looked at Li Zi'an with blazing eyes.

"Sister Zhou, I have thought about it very well, I still want to choose the second cooperation plan, I am still young, I want to give it a try, I hope your publishing house can respect my opinion. Li Zi'an said softly.

Li Zi'an's voice was very soft, but Zhou Ru could hear the firmness in her tone, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged in her heart.

"Okay......"

"Since you have made up your mind, then I won't persuade you anymore, so let's sign the contract......"

Zhou Ru shook her head, but her face was not cold because of Li Zi'an's insistence, but her evaluation of Li Zi'an in her heart had decreased a lot, and she felt that Li Zi'an was a little young and frivolous.

Next, the contract was in duplicate, and after Li Zi'an carefully read the contract and confirmed that the contract was correct, the two parties officially signed the contract, and after signing the contract, Li Zi'an also successfully got the bonus check for this essay competition.

After finishing the business, Zhou Ru quickly left and went back to the publishing house to hand over the errand, while Li Zi'an immediately went to a nearby bank, cashed the check, and put it into his bank account.

Walking out of the bank, Li Zi'an couldn't wait to call up the system page.

[Personal Information:]

[Host: Li Zi'an]

[Disposable amount: 20w Chinese dollars]

[Cumulative consumption amount: 5w Chinese dollars]

Seeing that the system page was so displayed, the big stone that was originally hanging in Li Zi'an's heart fell to the ground temporarily, at this time he only felt that the world was so beautiful, the air was so fresh, the young ladies on the road were so beautiful, and even the single dog in front of the screen looked much cuter!

( ̄▽ ̄)/

However, Li Zi'an did not drift, after all, there is still a long way to go before the small goal of life and freedom, and time is still very precious to him.

Before returning to the hotel, Li Zi'an rewarded himself with a big meal!

Baked cold noodles for ten yuan, with intestines and eggs, the Li Zi'an that eats is called a satisfaction!

Flattered!

......

In the next few days, Li Zi'an spent the busy rehearsal.

Because of his amazing performance in the first issue, in this week's rehearsal, he became the sweetheart of the program group.

In the past, when he was rehearsing, almost no one cared, and he had to run around by himself to get a microphone, but now he doesn't have to worry about those little things.

It is said that the entertainment industry is the most realistic place, and Li Zian has a deep understanding at the moment.

The time quickly came to Saturday, today is the last day of the rehearsal of the second program, and tonight is also the day when the first episode of "National Style Boy" is officially broadcast.

Li Zi'an's rehearsal time today was in the afternoon, and after lunch, he came to the fifth studio early, at this time music was playing in the fifth studio, and it was obvious that someone was rehearsing inside.

According to the regulations, during the rehearsal period of each contestant, except for the staff, the rest of the idle people are not allowed to enter, and the list of idle people and other miscellaneous people also includes the rest of the players.

After all, people are unpredictable, and under the premise of competition, it is inevitable that someone will make a trick or stumble, and such a provision can avoid this kind of accident to a large extent.

Li Zi'an came early, and seeing that the contestants inside were not finished yet, he didn't have much to do, he sat directly on the marble floor outside the door of the fifth studio, took out his mobile phone and played by himself.

"Squeak......

Just when Li Zi'an was a little fascinated by playing with his mobile phone, the door of Studio 5 was pushed open, and a woman with a work card walked out of it.

"Xiao Li, hello, I'm Guo Mei, the program leader of Li Zimu, I don't know if I can discuss something with you?" The woman half-squatted and asked Li Zi'an with a kind face.

When Li Zi'an heard this, he looked at Guo Mei with some doubts, and then nodded slightly, he didn't expect that it was Li Zimu who was being rehearsed inside.

"That's right, Zimu's program suddenly changed yesterday, and now there are still some problems in music and stage that have not been solved, I don't know if you can give us a little time, just ten minutes. Guo Mei asked softly.

For Li Zi'an, Guo Mei is very polite, if it were the rest of the contestants, Guo Mei would not need to greet them at all, it would take up ten more minutes, and no one would say anything, after all, Li Zimu got a high score of 9.7 points in the last issue, and her performance amazed the audience, and now the entire program team is very kind to her.

But the embarrassing thing is that Li Zimu's next rehearsal contestant is Li Zi'an, if Li Zimu is the baby of the program team, then Li Zi'an is the heart of the program team.

Hearing Guo Mei's words, Li Zi'an thought for a while, nodded and said, "Since it only takes ten minutes, then I can accept it." ”

After all, Li Zi'an knows Li Zimu, although that little girl is very hateful, arrogant, grudgeful, and rebellious, but Li Zi'an still feels a little guilty about Li Zimu, and he gave someone a small punch in the chest when they met for the first time, and this time it was regarded as making up for his mistakes.

Guo Mei saw that Li Zi'an was relieved, and her face showed a little joy: "Then thank you Zi'an." ”

Li Zi'an nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Zi'an, why don't you go in and wait, it's cold on the ground, this is your rehearsal time, and then let you sit outside and wait, we are a little too much." Guo Mei said with a smile.

"Is it convenient?"

"There's nothing inconvenient, my sister can trust you!"

When Li Zi'an heard this, he was not polite, stood up from the ground, patted the ash on his buttocks, and followed Guo Mei into the fifth studio.

The temperature in the fifth studio is very high, the sound is noisy, and there are staff on and off the stage who are busy working, Li Zimu is standing on the stage at this time and I don't know what to say to the staff.

Li Zi'an walked into the fifth studio, said hello to the familiar staff in turn, and then found a random place to sit down.

However, just a few seconds after Li Zi'an sat down, Guo Mei also sat next to Li Zi'an.

Li Zi'an glanced at Guo Mei, and Guo Mei looked at Li Zi'an with a smile.

The two of them looked at each other at a moment's notice, and their eyes were soon on the stage.

Li Zi'an was a little speechless, this Guo Mei said it nicely outside, but in fact, he still didn't worry about him, afraid that he would make a trick.

Made!

What about trust between people?!
