Sun Ziming's idle villa in Beverly Hills is still the engagement gift given to them by Yang Guozhong's father-in-law eight years ago, in case he has an accident, he can leave a way out for the two children.

Later, as his father-in-law's status became higher and higher, Yang Guozhong, who was afraid of causing trouble to his father-in-law who was in a high position, was no longer short of money and cautious by nature, so he simply gave the house to Sun Ziming. Anyway, at that time, he had enough industries in the mainland, Hong Kong, and the United States, and there was no need for this retreat, and there was no need to leave a possible handle for political opponents.

At the beginning, Sun Ziming and Yang Guozhong did not have the current achievements and self-confidence, and they used the two houses in Beverly Hills as a possible refuge in the future. In order to facilitate the two families, Sun Ziming also specially asked the designer to transform the tulip forest in the middle and build a garden full of oriental charm, bluestone paths, wooden pavilions, and garden lights, all of which reveal the taste of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, the two were joking, if they were really in trouble, looking at this small garden, they could chat to relieve their homesickness.

After Yang Guozhong gave this house to Sun Ziming, Li Zhi lived for a while, and then it became a place for friends to stay in Los Angeles, and even Xu Qing came to the United States to see Sun Ziming, and he also lived here. Now, because of the promotional video, J.K. Rowling and their children have come from England and have naturally become a temporary home for the family.

Rowling doesn't have much feeling for the house, her house in England is better than that, but she is very fond of the little garden with an oriental charm, and often writes in the pavilion because it reveals the cultural heritage.

……

With Saborina, Jill could easily see Rowling sitting under the elegant wooden pavilion, the stone pavement, the garden lamp, and the bamboo bushes on the side of the road, all revealing a leisurely charm. If it weren't for Rowling's blonde hair, the two would have mistakenly thought that they had entered the Chinese landscape painting in the boss's study.

Sabolina, who once had a dewy relationship with Sun Ziming, although she has seen his ruthlessness and reason, but she has also seen his emphasis on friendship, and now she sees Rowling in the distance so elegant, and subconsciously said: "Jill, are you making a mistake with the boss?" Rowling is such an indifferent person, she shouldn't give up such a deep friendship for the sake of profit, right? ”

Jill was also unsure for a while, and a woman's unique intuition told her that maybe things were not as she and the boss imagined.

"Ms. Rowling"

Rowling, who was in a trance, turned around and saw that it was Jill and Saborina, and hurriedly got up to support her waist to meet the two, and said in surprise: "Jill, Saborina, why are you here?" Come and see, they replicated the teaching building from my college days as the teaching building named after me! ”

This kind of surprise can't be faked, and Jill is almost certain that about Harry? The agreement for the adaptation rights of the Potter film was modified, and Rowling was still in the dark nine times out of ten. Oh no, it's her husband and Brian's bastard who are playing tricks!

"Ok, wow, oh my God!"

Looking at the one-to-one copy of the photo, and the deliberately distressed 'J.K. Rowling House', the two of them exclaimed, "Well, it's really beautiful, very historical!" If it weren't for the different scenery around me, I would have thought it was a building, and that's where you used to study? ”

Talking about her alma mater, Rowling's face was full of pride, "Well, our University of Exeter, but it was founded in 1855 and is still a member school of the Russell Group!" The building was built in 1870 by Sir Edward. You see, this is his statue. ”

"Awesome! In the future, our Jingshi University will definitely become a world-class university. Miss K. Rowling's name will live on forever at the University! ”

Jill quietly puts a high hat on Rowling, and she quipps, "Jill, you're complimenting yourself, right?" You are a member of the school organizing committee and the school council. The chairman of the Juan Foundation is also responsible for exchanges with Harvard, Yale and other world-famous universities.

I believe that in the future history of Jingshi University, Jill will definitely be recorded? Miss Alontes has made an outstanding contribution to the establishment of the University. Well, I'm sure that in the distant future, a certain headmaster will definitely give you a statue! ”

Jill hurriedly said modestly: "No, no, I just helped the boss build this university, and you will be the pride of this university!" ”

"Really? You're too modest, Jill, you're a busy man, you won't come to see me today, will you? ”

Rowling made a few more jokes and reached out to help the two of them make tea, and Saborina hurriedly did it for them.

Jill took a sip of English black tea, gently placed it on the simple solid wood table, and sighed: "Rowling, you are so leisurely, we can't do it, we had a fight with Brian just now." ”

"No, Mr. Brian has such a good temper, can you quarrel with him?"

Saborina finished making tea for the two of them, made a cup for herself, and said with a smile: "It's so noisy, the whole company only hears them arguing, I haven't seen such a lively scene for many years." ”

Rowling can write such beautiful words, and naturally she is also a smart person, and she hesitated after a little turn of thought: "You are not arguing because of my business, are you?" ”

"Do you know why?"

Jill asked quietly, but her eyes were fixed on Rowling's expression, wanting to see if this writer lady was really what she thought - profit over friendship. If that's the case, things will be easy to do, it's nothing more than negotiations between the two sides. If this woman doesn't know the inside story, it must be her husband who is playing tricks, and then the matter is in trouble. The boss values friendship and personal reputation, and perhaps because he cares about his friend's family, he will not only give in, but also will not secretly stumble on the other person.

Who knew that Rowling shook her head again and again, and joked with a smile: "I don't know, but you just came to me after a quarrel with Blair, it must be because of my business." I'm writing novels, and I'm definitely a little bit of a psychologist. ”

If Rowling didn't know, then her husband must be playing tricks with Brian.

After pondering for a while, and then considering his tone, Jill repeated what he had just happened as it was, and said, "Rowling, my boss is very angry, because he was angry at Brian because of this." We admit that the original agreement may be unfair today, but at that time, who can see what is happening today?

The films made by our company, no matter how high the box office, are treated according to this condition, and they are of the highest standard in the industry. Did you know? Before the light and shadow company, even screenwriters who won Oscars in Hollywood only had a screenwriting fee of $750,000, not $2 million plus box office share.

Now our company has made the most movies in this series, and if we say yes, do you know what will happen? As soon as a film is a hit, those screenwriters will immediately ask for a change in the agreement to increase their revenue.

Rowling, although our movies are selling money now, who can guarantee that in the future? We can't always take the risk of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and the screenwriters are just providing a story, but they are always ready to grab more profits, right? ……”

Rowling was puzzled at first, but after a few words, she understood what was going on, her snow-white face flushed, and her fingers trembled with anger. Such a humiliating thing must have been done by Neil behind his back, and only he could get the original agreement!

God, how could he do such a thing? Didn't he know that without China Ming's friendship, he was still a poor single mother in Edinburgh! If it weren't for China Ming's help and encouragement, maybe I would have given up writing a long time ago, honestly found a job, and brought Jessica with difficulty alone!

Seeing that Rowling was so angry, Jill also stopped denouncing, and instead comforted: "Rowling, maybe things are not as you imagined, but Brian is thinking about the interests of the owner." As you know, agents in Hollywood are always ready to fight for the best interests of their clients. ”

"No, the agreement is still at my home in Gwentshire, there's no way he'll get it!"

Jill smiled dumbly, it seemed that geniuses also had times of forgetfulness, and hurriedly reminded: "Rowling, when you signed UTA, you didn't provide a copy of the novel adaptation rights agreement?" ”

Rowling suddenly realized, patted her forehead and said: "Yes, yes, the publication of the novel and the adaptation of the movie are all Brian's responsibility, how can he work without an agreement?" ”

Jill deliberately ignored that without the authorization of the client, it was impossible for the agent to negotiate without the client's permission. Anyway, this is already Rowling's family matter, and she won't intervene as an outsider, the boss wants to be famous, and she will often have a bad memory.

"Ok, since that's the case, then we'll take our leave. Oh, by the way, this is the first box office share in the overseas market, and I brought it to you by the way. ”

Saborina hurriedly handed over the check and signed the receipt of the paper, and Rowling did not doubt it, so she signed casually: "Okay, I'll tell Brian to stop arguing later." I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the rules of Hollywood. ”

"It's okay, it's a misunderstanding, just make it clear."

Jill and the others got up to say goodbye, and Rowling took the check and sent them to the gate, watching the red Lamborghini go away, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. For such a big matter, how could Brian not greet one and go directly to the light and shadow company to negotiate?

Rowling, who figured it out, hurriedly entered the house to find her husband and said angrily: "Neil, are you hiding it from me and letting the people of UTA go to the light and shadow to find China?" ”

Neil, who was playing with his stepdaughter while packing his luggage, saw that Rowling's face was very bad, so he quickly looked at Jessica, who was having a good time, and said in a low voice: "Honey, don't quarrel in front of the child, okay?" ”

"Ok", Rowling forced a smile to play with her daughter for a while, coaxed her to read a comic book, and then pulled Neil into the guest room with a grim face.

Neil, who is a doctor, is extremely rational and far less emotional than his wife, so he hurriedly stopped his wife from getting angry and whispered first: "You calm down first, listen to me explain first, okay?" ”

"Ok", Rowling shook off her husband's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to give her an explanation. Such a humiliating thing, can he still be justified? God, how will I face China Ming and other friends in the future?
