The next day, Monday

In the morning, after honestly taking four classes in school, in the afternoon, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun made an appointment to go to Xia Tang Animation Production Company together.

"Is this the car you bought?"

Song Lingyun has been accustomed to luxury cars since she was a child, but she was not so shocked by Xia Yan's new car, but after all, Xia Yan did not take a taxi this time, but personally drove her to the company, and she asked curiously.

"Well, how's that, it's handsome." Xia Yan's expression was excited.

After all, driving a cool sports car on the street is a two-dimensional teenager like him's wish since childhood.

The purpose is not to attract girls so vulgar by car, just to simply like it.

It's like the kind of boy in the parallel world who likes Transformers and Ultraman.

"Well, it's okay." Song Lingyun's expression was calm.

"Also, how can you be interested in cars?" Xia Yan smiled after looking at Song Lingyun's expression.

"I'm only interested in creating right now." Song Lingyun added.

"By the way, I heard that your new work Hidden Blade seems to be coming to an end, right?" Xia Yan asked while driving.

"Well, it's just a novella, and I didn't plan to write it long."

"Grades." Xia Yan asked more.

"In the five issues serialized in the past month, the ranking score in "Liuli" is 12221," Song Lingyun paused and said.

"Compared to your initial D and Sword Art Online's achievements, my Hidden Blade is still too far behind."

When Xia Yan heard this, he was slightly embarrassed.

"Actually. Your score is already exaggerated. Xia Yan recalled the information about the works and authors in the documents that Bai Xuan gave him that he saw yesterday.

"For example, the work of the Otherworldly Labyrinth, you know." Liuli" journal last week's second-ranked work Its author Xu Qing only became popular at the age of twenty-six with this work, and when she was twenty years old, she participated in the selection of the new gods, and it was only thirty-four, after signing a long contract with Liuli Publishing House, the first book written in Liuli Publishing House could not even be serialized on "Liuli", but in Liuli Publishing House, serialized in a more subordinate journal, and the sales of a single volume of that work were only more than one million copies" Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"At the age of seventeen, you participated in the New God Ascending Competition, and you have already achieved a top 10 pick. Written at the age of nineteen, you can reach the top of the "glazed color", I remember right, the single volume of the Hidden Blade has sold an average of three million copies! Compared with Xu Qing, the top young female writer of the Dragon Kingdom, your achievements at the same age are simply explosive. ”

"What's the use of that?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.

"The gap with you is even bigger than when I was in Southern Province."

"To the Moon, Sword Art Online, Initial D, Madoka Magical Girl." Song Lingyun paused for a moment, but immediately, he smiled recently.

"At the beginning, I wanted to chase you and surpass you, just because I didn't admit defeat, but I didn't think you would be so strong that it was desperate, and now."

"What's going on now?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

"Now I don't think I had a bad eye. The existence that I fancy is worthy of being called my enemy, and it can only be the first person in the two-dimensional industry of the Dragon Kingdom. ”

"The two-dimensional industry, the first person?" Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Are you killing me?"

"No, I really think so. If you are given a few more years, you will have a great chance of growing to this point," Song Lingyun looked at and said softly.

After all, a person who can create a phenomenal animation like the magic circle at the age of nineteen can't overestimate what kind of future expectations he has.

"I didn't expect you to expect this from me." Xia Yan paused, and then jokingly.

"Then I'm so terrible in your eyes, you still want to compete with me?"

"That's nature. Feng Shui just takes turns. You are now with me, just a temporary lead, and no one can always be at the top. But if one day, you're at the top of the industry, and there's anyone who can pull you down from that place. I think this person is me. A chuckle appeared on the corner of Song Lingyun's mouth.

That's why I finished the Hidden Blade so quickly. My agent, Shu Mei, told me that in November, there would be a vacancy for a serial seat in the journal "Liuli". The last time that serial seat, because you intervened in the air, the new work that many people were preparing was useless, so those people accumulated their strength for two months and waited for this opportunity."

Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.

"And I'm just the same, staring at this serialization seat."

"Is that so? No wonder." Xia Yan thought for a moment, and then said.

"I don't know about these things yet, I don't pay much attention to them."

"After all, you are standing very high now, and you rarely look down, last year's New God Ascend and our contemporaries, such as Jiang Jing and Chu Li, who ranked second and third in the New God Ascendant, are now open and shut up when interviewed by the media, aiming at you and surpassing you." Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan's expression and said a few more words.

"You may now be in the eyes of those top older generation of two-dimensional industry creators, who are newcomers to the industry, and the biggest wave of the future has launched a severe challenge to them. But in the eyes of those of us who are competing with you. You've grown into a Great Demon King-level existence now. ”

"The Great Demon King? This title, how does it feel good to be in the second second. Xia Yan said with a smile.

The two exchanged words, and soon, the vehicle drove to the company.

Xia Yan, Song Lingyun and Tang Yin, as shareholders of the company, have their own tasks and responsibilities in the company in addition to their own affairs.

Otherwise, Xia Yan's 9% stake would not be so easy to get.

In fact, Xia Yan can ask others for help in many things, and the reason why these two people will be arranged by Xia Yan to deal with work in important positions is entirely because of Xia Yan's trust in the two of them.

It is easy to find capable people who are willing to spend money, but there are few people in the Dragon Kingdom who can be trusted by Xia Yan and feel that they will not pit him.

At the meeting, the company's financial report reported on the expected income of the magical girl Madoka, as well as Xia Yan's allocation of a car and the purchase of a villa in a wealthy area in the name of the company.

First of all, the terrifying income of the magical girl Madoka, the two of them were officially confirmed at the meeting today, after all, the financial part is the absolute core department of any company, and the relevant matters are handled by Xia Yan, they don't know, they just have some guesses.

But the terrifying profit that is expected to have a total income of more than one billion in the next two or three years still makes the two of them look confused.

This means that the 9% shares of each of the two can theoretically distribute dividends to more than 90 million dragon coins, provided that Xia Yan, the major shareholder, distributes these earnings.

But anyway. Compared to the millions of investments of the two.

That's a tenfold yield, and that's not even counting the possible benefits of the animation I'm waiting for you and Cyberpunk Edgerunner in seven years, which the company is currently working on.

This. It's also too rebellious.

Ninety million, dragon coins

Even if Tang Yin and Song Lingyun are both wealthy people, they still feel that this money is too easy to earn.

On the other hand, the villa and car that Xia Yan bought in the name of the company were trivial. It's just to avoid taxes reasonably, after all, the company can use the annual depreciation of the real estate to deduct the business tax, and Xia Yan doesn't have to pay the individual income tax on the purchase of the house to turn him into a private property, so he has to pay a tax, so that he has to pay millions of extra taxes to buy this suite, which is too much of a loss.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, such as the bankruptcy of the company, the house will also be liquidated, and if the house is to be sold in the future, if the house appreciates, it will also pay VAT and corporate income tax

However, Xia Yan does not think that Xia Tang Animation Production Company will be at risk of bankruptcy, after all, he, the chairman, does not borrow money to operate, nor does he get contaminated with bad habits.

The self-occupied house is not ready to be sold, so the disadvantages of this are almost non-existent in Xia Yan's opinion.

And then there's the point.

After Xia Yan explained the purpose of the money clearly, Xia Yan looked directly at Tang Yin and Song Lingyun and spoke.

"So. Do you two want to move in? ”

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

"Huh?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Tang Yin's expression was heard and she looked at Xia Yan with a confused expression.

"I mean you two are moving in?" Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"I bought this suite for tens of millions just because it has a closed community, and no reporters took pictures secretly. You're being chased by those fanatical fans right now."

Hearing this, Song Lingyun hesitated and nodded.

"And Tang Yin. As the vice chairman of Xia Tang Animation Production Company, you are actually stared at by many people in the animation industry. And you act as our company's foreign affairs handler. There have been reporters who want to follow you before, hoping to find the real identity of "me", right? ”

Tang Yin also nodded when she heard this.

"As the company grows, the two of you will only encounter more and more of this situation, and if you continue to live in that ordinary community, the trouble will only get bigger and bigger." Xia Yan also knew that his words might cause misunderstanding between the two, but he was telling the truth.

"The villa I bought in the name of the company is a company asset. You just use it as a company dormitory, and the employee benefits can move in. Anyway, the villa is quite large, more than a dozen suites for four people. Xia Yan looked at the two.

"The most important thing is my character, you should believe in it."

"Ahem, cough, cough" Tang Yin blinked his eyes and coughed when he heard this.

"Four people?" Only Song Lingyun sensed that something was wrong.

"Why four?"

"Oh, and my senior sister in the comic club, who is now helping me draw the initial D, her words are more serious, last week I have encountered some fanatical comic fans squatting on her doorstep, no way, she is my partner, I also have to ensure her daily life and privacy, so, I also asked her if she would mind moving over, so that when she exchanges with her about the drawing of the initial D comics, you don't have to run around."

"She agreed?" Tang Yin's eyes narrowed when she heard this.

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded.

Song Lingyun and Tang Yin's expressions changed, and they immediately said in unison.

"I see."

"I see."

"What are you? Agreed? Xia Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, and confirmed again.

Song Lingyun and Tang Yin paused for a moment and then nodded.

After getting the two nodding in reply, he was relieved.

In fact, he was not unaware of the inappropriateness of his proposal, and he invited them to live in the new house he had bought.

But Mo Ran, Song Lingyun and Tang Yin are basically very close to Xia Yan, either partners of Xia Yan's company or comic partners, and in order to facilitate work contact, this is also beneficial.

As for the disadvantages

It's just a bit weird to say, three women and one man live in the same villa.

But to change the way of thinking, Xia Yan's partner lives in the dormitory of the luxury villa for employees arranged by him.

In addition to nominally living in a villa, the privacy and solidity of the individual rooms are much stronger than those in the community.

There is nothing more than a large building in the community, in fact, the distance between households is just a wall, and if you jump upstairs, you can hear the sound downstairs, and the privacy is not as strong as the room in Xia Yan's villa.

Since both of them agreed to Xia Yan's proposal, Xia Yan didn't bother to put forward Plan B.

After all, plan B is to buy another villa in the same community, coordinate the work of the three of them, and arrange the three partners to live together, so that it is convenient for Xia Yan to discuss the work content with them, and there is no need to waste time on commuting.

Anyway, it is definitely impossible for them to continue to live in their original residence, otherwise Xia Yan is really afraid that one day they will be attacked by perverted fans.

However, Plan B is too wasteful, and tens of millions of funds are meaningless.

After these small things were determined, in the next few days, Xia Yan, Song Lingyun, Tang Yin, Mo Ran and others all had a new job. Uproot.

The third chapter of Sword Art Online in the passage of time was also successfully serialized on Friday.

(End of chapter)
