Time flies, and a month passes quietly in the blink of an eye.

At the end of May, even Li Zi'an, who had excellent academic performance, felt the pressure at this time.

The main thing is to live in an atmosphere of high pressure every day, and it is natural to be affected by this atmosphere.

At this stage, there is a small test in three days, a big test in five days, and a model test in half a month, and I am soaking in the sea of questions every day.

The college entrance examination is an exam that can change your fate.

This is not a joke, only those who have experienced the hardships of society will know the importance of academic qualifications.

The starting point, platform, and resources are completely different for each level of university.

With the college entrance examination approaching, Li Zi'an usually doesn't have any big things, and he will follow the school's schedule, but today he took a leave of absence and did not attend the evening self-study.

Because today, Zhou Ru from Huaxing Publishing House is here.

......

Baiguo Pedestrian Street, Sakuragi Zhai.

In the luxurious box, Li Zi'an and his entourage sat in it, waiting for the arrival of Huaxing Publishing House and others.

Han Qian, Anya, Yin Zhen, Guan Yue and Li Zi'an, only the five of them came today.

In this month's time, Li Zi'an was not only busy preparing for the college entrance examination, but also "wrote" a book in his spare time.

A few days ago, he sent the first 30,000 words of his new book to Huaxing Publishing House, and then ......

His phone was blown up!

The day before yesterday, he sent the manuscript over, but today the people from Huaxing Publishing House flew over from Kyoto in a hurry, calling one after another, for fear that Li Zi'an's new book would be preempted by other publishing houses.

So, there is today's dinner.

Li Zi'an sat Han Qian on the left, Anya sat on the right, Han Qian went shopping on Taotao, and Anya was chasing variety shows with Yin Zhen on the other side of her, the two of them were extremely engaged, and even whispered exclamations from time to time.

This made Li Zi'an a little interested.

"Eh, what are you two looking at, with a full face. ”

Li Zi'an reached out and took off the headphones on Anya's ear and asked Anya.

Anya sighed, she reached out and pressed the pause button: "Boss, what you just said, I didn't hear clearly." ”

"I said, what are you two looking at, full of!" Li Zi'an repeated angrily.

"What do you say about this?" Anya raised her phone, and then said with a smile: "This show is "Global Star Movement 2021", a men's group talent show, this is the third season, this men's group is super high-quality, and they are all small fresh meat." ”

"Of course, they are still a little bit behind you in terms of appearance compared to the boss, but you can't stand the crowd, all kinds of small fresh meat are put together, tsk, it feels like you men watching the performance of a girl group are the same. ”

Hearing Anya's answer, Li Zi'an seemed to have some impressions of this show.

The variety show "Global Star Movement", which has been broadcast since the first season in 2017, has caused a huge trend on the whole network at home and abroad with its huge global auditions and extremely luxurious mentor lineup.

The men's group selected in the first season is already the top men's group in China after five years, and the group ranks on the second-tier star list, although the ranking is extremely low, but it is still on the second-tier star list.

At that time, Li Zi'an was still in junior high school, and he still vaguely remembered that this show was so obsessed with the girls in their class at that time.

This "Global Star Movement" is held every two years, and the one two years ago seemed to be quite powerful, but at that time, Li Zian was busy studying in high school, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Since it's so good-looking, then you can look at it, just pay attention to the image and wipe your saliva. ”

As a man, Li Zi'an is naturally not interested in the men's group talent show, and after a simple understanding, he is not interested.

When Anya heard Li Zi'an's words, she subconsciously wiped her mouth, but naturally she didn't get anything, she pouted a little angrily, she wanted to glare at Li Zi'an, but thinking that Li Zi'an was her boss, she finally chose to forgive him very cowardly.

However, just as Anya and Yin Zhen were just about to look at the handsome guy again, suddenly several mobile phones in the room suddenly rang.

"May 2021 Fourth-tier Star List Announced ......"

Anya whispered the pop-up message, but the more she read it, the louder it became.

The fifth-tier star list is updated every month, while the fourth-tier star list is updated every two months.

Li Zi'an has been ranked first on the fifth-tier star list for several months, just last month, Li Zi'an's name disappeared from the fifth-tier star list, Li Zi'an can't be off the list, so there is only one possibility, that is, Li Zi'an has been among the fourth-tier star list.

There are 500 people on the fifth-tier star list and 400 people on the fourth-tier star list.

Everyone is very curious about how many places Li Zi'an can rank in the fourth-tier list after the popularity of online dramas during this period of time.

Not only Anya received the news, but Han Qian, Li Zi'an, and Guan Yue also received the news.

Almost all of them subconsciously clicked directly in, looking for Li Zi'an's name in the ever-growing list.

"There is no ...... between 300 and 400 people"

"Between 200 and 300 people are not ......"

"Between 100 and 200 people did not ......"

Anya whispered, and at the end of the reading, her voice even trembled slightly, and she was a little uncontrollable with excitement.

“69！”

"The boss jumped directly to the 69th place, directly across more than 300 people!"

When Anya's excited voice sounded, the rest of the people actually found Li Zi'an's ranking at the same time.

"Oh my God, what an explosion!"

"This surge is too fierce!"

"Directly into the top 100, this is very close to the third-tier stars!"

"The explosion of "To Our Simple Little Beauty" has brought too much heat to the boss, and this has risen too hard!"

Anya, Yin Zhen and Guan Yue all chattered excitedly, as a member of Li Zi'an's team, they and Li Zi'an both prospered and lost, and Li Zi'an now directly jumped to the 69th place among the fourth-tier stars, how could they not be excited.

Li Zi'an and Han Qian didn't say anything, but they were also very excited.

can have such a big ranking improvement, in fact, it is largely due to Li Zi'an's self-writing, directing, acting, self-cutting, each title has provided great help to Li Zi'an's popularity and status.

If Li Zian simply acted in this web drama or was a simple director, his improvement would never be so great.

Just when everyone was excited, the door of the box was pushed open, and Zhou Ru and the people from Huaxing Publishing House arrived late.

"Zi'an, read the news, don't say anything, congratulations!"

Zhou Ru obviously saw the fourth-tier star list just released, so she congratulated her directly.

Li Zi'an and Zhou Ru hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two shook hands politely.

"I'm really sorry, the car we were sitting in was accidentally rear-ended by someone else, we took a taxi on the side of the road temporarily, we were late, I'm sorry for making you wait so long!"

When Zhou Ru shook hands with Han Qian, she said to Han Qian apologetically.

"Eh. When Han Qian heard this, she immediately cared: "Then are you all right, is anyone hurt?"

"No, no, we were rear-ended while waiting for a red light, and we were all right. ”

"It's good that people are okay, fortunately. ”

Everyone greeted each other, and Anya and the others, who were originally patronizing and excited, also quickly adjusted their state at this time, and greeted the people who came with Zhou Ru.

When everyone arrived, they informed the waiter that they could serve the food.

The crowd didn't come up and talked about business directly, but chatted about some ordinary things casually.

People from Huaxing Publishing House touted Li Zi'an's recent online drama as popular all over the Internet, and Li Zi'an's people touted which book of Huaxing Publishing House sold well recently.

Chat and eat at the same time.

After all, it is normal to eat something before talking about business to bring the relationship between the two parties closer, but if you drink, it will be a bit excessive, and there is no question of who publicizes whom.

Half an hour passed, and the business exchange was almost done, and everyone began to talk about business.

"Zi'an, I'll get straight to the point, your new book "The Legend of Wukong", we Huaxing Publishing House is very optimistic, we are here with sincerity today, I hope we can cooperate again after the book "Sadness Flows into a River", and win-win again!" Zhou Ru said sincerely.

That's right, the second book that Li Zi'an chose to "borrow" is "The Legend of Wukong", which is a very classic from the previous world.

This is a big name in the last world, known as the "first book on the Internet", it runs through the youth of several generations, whether it is the book itself or its own IP value, it is immeasurable.

It adapts and interprets the four Tang monks and apprentices in the book "Journey to the West" in a modern way, and its core is to fight, fight against the injustice of fate, fight against authority, and think throughout.

Li Zi'an has sung two versions of Wukong on the stage of "National Style Boy", so it is reasonable for him to take out the book "The Legend of Wukong" now, and no one will jump out to question it.

Li Zi'an's thoughts flashed away, he looked at Zhou Ru in front of him, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, we are very familiar with each other, let's talk about your conditions, there is no need to say the buyout, there is no need to waste time, just talk about royalties." ”

Li Zi'an was so direct, Zhou Ru smiled.

Thinking of when she and Li Zi'an talked about the cooperation plan of "Sadness Flows into a River" half a year ago, Li Zi'an's young and ignorant appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Zhou Ru took out a pen and paper from her bag, wrote a big number on it, and then pushed it to Li Zi'an's side.

Li Zi'an looked directly into Zhou Ru's eyes, he didn't even look at it, he directly turned over the paper, wrote down a number again, and pushed it back.

"Zi'an, don't you even look at the price we offer?"

"My aunt told me that I don't need to look at the first price offered by the other party. ”

Hearing Li Zi'an's slightly domineering words, the momentum of Zhou Ru and the others suddenly stagnated and fell into disadvantage.

And the momentum of Anya and others is high, after all, what Li Zi'an said is really domineering.

As for Han Qian......

？？？

When did the old lady say this?

Zhou Ru smiled bitterly, she looked down at the price offered by Li Zi'an.

Thirty-five percent!

It's too high, you must know that the price they opened is only 20%, although this is not their floor price, but now the price opened by Li Zi'an has far exceeded their floor price.

"Zi'an, this price ......"

Li Zi'an raised his hand slightly and interrupted Zhou Ru's words.

"Sister Zhou, I'll give you a chance to bargain, you can call your leaders now, if I am satisfied with the price you give, we will cooperate happily, if not, we will get up and leave!"

Facing Li Zi'an, who was scorching, Zhou Ru pursed his lips.

It's too strong!

But Zhou Ru has no temper, because she knows very well the quality of Li Zi'an's new book, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Li Zi'an steps out of such a door, there will be publishing houses that want to rush to publish this book.

"I ...... I'll give you a call......"

Zhou Ru whispered, and then hurriedly walked out of the box with her mobile phone.

The box was extremely quiet, Li Zi'an didn't speak, and the rest of the people didn't dare to speak, not even stretching out their chopsticks, so they waited for Zhou Ru quietly.

Today's Li Zi'an, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and is as famous as a rainbow, under this kind of confidence, the aura on his body has naturally become extremely powerful, and now that he is in a momentum, even Anya and others, who are used to seeing a lot of big scenes, will feel more or less restrained.

In this state, ten minutes later, Zhou Ru hurriedly returned.

"Zi'an, the price given by our leader is ......"

"Thirty percent!"

After speaking, Zhou Ru's hands under the table were tightly clenched together, and he was nervous, and even a layer of fine sweat appeared faintly on his forehead.

Long......

Li Zi'an picked up his wine glass and smiled again.

"Happy working together!"
