Chapter 12: Rainy Day

In mid-August, Tokyo, heavy rain.

Huang Shang stood under the eaves, looked at the clouds in the sky, and pinched his fingers: "Typhoon, the rain stopped in two hours and twenty-eight minutes, and it fell again in thirteen minutes, lasting until evening, intermittently for two days." ”

Shortly after watching a movie in the living room, the rain outside the window stopped, and I looked at the time, and exactly two hours and twenty-eight minutes had passed. After waiting for a while, the rain continued to fall, and looking at the time, it only stopped for thirteen minutes.

Huang Shang was relieved that the divination of the I Ching was also very accurate in reality.

At noon, I casually made a bite to eat and continued to watch a movie in the living room.

In the past four worlds, he suffered losses in two worlds without plot advantages, if he hadn't been cautious by nature and prepared in advance, maybe there would have been problems in the last world.

After returning, I have a lot of leisure time now, so I simply make up for more movies, but all of them are Chinese movies.

When he crossed over for the second time, he was already in Japan, but the next three worlds were all Chinese movies, so it is speculated that his system should only travel through the Chinese film world, otherwise there is no reason why he is all in Japan, but he has not traveled through the Japanese film world.

While watching a movie, Ying Lili sent a video call request.

It's really strange that she has never made a video call during this time of acquaintance.

After connecting it, Huang Shang looked at Ying Lili, who had slightly messy hair, a little dark circles under his eyes, and black-framed glasses, and asked, "Staying up late to cultivate immortals again?" ”

"Ah, I've been getting a lot of work lately, and I can't catch up if I don't work hard." Ying Lili took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes and said.

"Good work." Huang Shang took a sip of Coke.

"You guy, don't you like to drink Coke!" Ying Li Li bared her little tiger teeth and drank Coke in front of her, on purpose!

"First of all, I'll correct you, it's not that I don't like to drink Coke, it's just that Coke is a carbonated drink, not suitable for athletes, so I haven't drunk much Coke, but I've long since retired, and it's okay to drink a little once in a while." Huang Shang said.

"Humph!" Ying Li Li reluctantly accepted this reason.

"Don't lose your temper, what's the matter with me?" Huang Shang asked: "I've known each other for so long, and it's the first time you've made a video call with me, is there anything important?" ”

"Also...... It didn't matter much. ”

Ying Lili suddenly became frightened, and it seemed that she had something to ask him. This girl is so easy to understand, and all emotions are written on her face.

"Let's talk about it, as long as it's not too excessive, it's not impossible to do you a favor."

"Well, that's it, let's ...... it."

After listening to Ying Lili's story, Huang Shang looked at her nervous appearance and said, "I can't help with this favor." ”

Ying Lili is talking about illustration.,She has a girlfriend who writes light novels.,The two have known each other since high school.,That girlfriend is a year older than her.,It's a senior sister.,Because after seeing each other's works.,Become each other's fans.,In this way, they slowly became good friends.,Later, it developed into a relationship between good girlfriends.。

After graduating from high school, Eriri made her debut as an illustrator, and that senior sister was admitted to Waseda University without examination a year ago. Not long ago, that senior sister finished her college studies and officially entered the society, and she is currently writing a new book, has signed a contract with Bunko, and is selecting an illustrator for the first volume of illustrations.

Just yesterday, the senior sister came to visit her in Ying Lili's studio after a long absence, and then saw the color painting that Huang Shang gave her. At just one glance, the senior sister decided to let the author of this painting illustrate her new calligraphy and painting, and then pestered Ying Lili to ask for Huang Shang's contact information.

Of course, Ying Lili didn't give it, but he still promised to help ask, but he worked too much yesterday, not only did he not sleep all night, but he was also in a hurry this morning, and finally completed the work at noon, and then he couldn't care about cleaning up, and at the urging of the senior sister who slept here last night, he sent a video communication to Huang Shang, and then after explaining the situation, he was ruthlessly rejected.

"Yes." Ying Lili smiled helplessly: "After all, Aunt Xinyun is ready to use the art exhibition to promote your works, where can the author of the library afford you." ”

"That's not what it meant." Huang Shang shook his head: "I don't care about money, it's just that there are too many things at home recently, and I have something to do, so I don't have time or energy to draw any illustrations, if it was last month, maybe I agreed." Help me apologize to your girlfriend and thank me for liking my paintings. ”

"That's it! Well, well! Ying Lili said: "That won't bother you, I'm also sleepy, so I'll go to sleep first." ”

"Pay attention to your body, don't die suddenly one day."

"No Road Race!"

Hanging up the phone, Ying Lili turned her head to her best friend who was hiding outside the camera and said, "That's it." ”

The girlfriend sighed: "It's a pity." ”

Ying Lili's best friend is a long-looking black straight, wearing a white hairpin on her head, wearing a light blue dress, a dark blue suit on her upper body, and a pair of plump and slender legs with black stockings, which made her charm soar by two notches in an instant.

Her name is Kasumigaoka Shiyu, the flower of Kaolin in the eyes of others in high school, and the pear pear is known as the two school flowers, and she is the holder of the first place in the perennial grade, so she got the entrance qualification for Waseda University without entrance examination early.

I started writing light novels in my first year of high school, and then before the end of my sophomore year of high school, the sales of the novel exceeded 500,000 and I became a best-selling author, which is rare for a newcomer, and it is therefore particularly valued by the contracted library.

After the third year of high school and the four years of college, he created two light novels one after another, with a total sales of more than five million copies, and it has almost become the pillar of the contracted library, and its identity as a beautiful girl writer is too fan-catching, and last summer he also filmed a group of photo albums for sale, not showing flesh, the type of literary girl, and then sold out of stock.

Another year passed, and its commercial value grew, even alarming the top of Bunko, and after a thorough assessment of her commercial value, Bunko came up with a 10-year buyout contract with a total value of 1 billion yen.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu will come to visit Yingli Pear yesterday, in fact, she brought this contract to her reference, after all, Yingli Li is a famous lady, and she may not be very good at this aspect of the contract, but she has the best lawyer behind her.

Yesterday, Ying Lili faxed the contract to a barrister, and after reading it, the lawyer felt that there was basically no problem with this contract, except that the liquidated damages of 10 billion yuan were a bit high, and the workload was a little high, and there was no other problem.

In the end, the lawyer's suggestion was that you could sign it, or you could continue to talk about those two points.

This result is similar to what Kasumigaoka Shiyu predicted, and the reason why she hesitated was actually because of these two points.

She is an inspired creator, as long as inspiration comes, she can write amazing text plots, but if there is no inspiration, she can't write a word, but this contract makes clear requirements for her workload in the next ten years, which makes her very uncomfortable, and the 10 billion liquidated damages are indeed too high, once she violates the contract for some reason, where can she find 10 billion liquidated damages? It's not worth so much to sell her.

But this contract is not in a hurry, as the lawyer said, just talk about these two points slowly, and the most important thing at the moment is the illustration of the new book.

Now the painter who made her heart flutter has clearly refused, which makes her a little frustrated, but this painter is quite handsome, which makes her feel the urge to want to knock on the wall at first sight.

"Speaking of which, what's the name of this friend of yours? The painting is so good, why is it unknown in the industry? Kasumigaoka asked.

"He's not in the industry." Ying Lili yawned, threw herself on the bed, and said: "He is the son of the imperial queen Jin Xinyun, surnamed Huang, called Huang Shang, he used to play basketball, and he played the ball very well, you can go to the Internet to search for his game videos, but he retired due to injury a few years ago, and now he is a teacher in a third-tier town in China." ”

“……”

The amount of information in these words was a bit large, and it took Kasumigaoka Shiyu to absorb it for a while, and said in surprise: "It's actually the son of the queen of the empire, but what the hell is being a teacher in Huaxia?" Shouldn't he be ready to take over? ”

"Hehe, Huang Shang's temperament is a bit similar to you, he is a more casual person, and he has no interest in taking over." Ying Li Li smiled and said: "And this guy is versatile, not only is he good at painting, he is also very good at calligraphy, and he is a must ...... cooking" Speaking of this, Ying Lili's saliva flowed out.

Suck –

"No, it's going to drool just thinking about it."

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to smile: "Even you, the eldest lady who has eaten all the world's delicacies, drools in cooking, it seems that Huang Sang is very powerful!" ”

"It's a blast, okay!" Ying Lili showed her little tiger teeth: "Hmph! This guy is a genius with a high IQ, no matter what he learns, he will be good at it for a while, and the style of this painting you see is also created by him, and no one in the industry can draw it. Yes! Damn, why is there such a thing as a genius in this world! These guys should just be grabbed and sliced and studied. ”

"That's pretty good." Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled slightly, although he praised him, but he didn't go to his heart, since he refused to draw illustrations for himself, he was a person who was not related to himself, since he was not relevant, no matter how good the other party was, what did it have to do with him?

Kasumigaoka Shiyu is such a proud person.

"Hey, speaking of which...... Ying Lili suddenly thought of something, and said, "Shiyu, the Fantastic library you signed with seems to be a subsidiary of Aunt Xinyun." ”

"Really?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm." Ying Lili used her mobile phone to search for the relationship between Fantastic Library and Jin Xinyun's head office, and sure enough, Fantastic Library is a subsidiary of Jin Xinyun's industry, "but it was acquired three years ago." ”

"Three years ago?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought about it for a while, and was a little surprised: "No wonder there seemed to be some job changes within the Fantastic Library three years ago, but fortunately, my editor in charge has not changed, and I have been promoted, otherwise I would not continue to stay in the Fantastic Library." ”

"Hey, that's interesting." Ying Lili smiled evilly: "You actually want the son of the ultimate boss to draw illustrations for you, it's so bold." ”
