Dan's reaction when he saw Jamie was even more surprised than when he saw Collins, a strange and beautiful girl in the house.

Before Dan could put the bag down, Rufus greeted him and asked him how he was talking to the publisher.

"It's okay, the other party thinks that my story still needs to be improved, let me contact them after I revise it."

Dan said casually.

Rufus didn't notice the strangeness of his son's tone, and thought it was going well.

It just so happens that Jamie is here today, and he's going to make dinner a little more sumptuous to celebrate Dan's step towards the publication of his novel.

Jenny also introduced Collins to Dan at this time.

Dan heard at school this morning that there was a very beautiful transfer student in Jenny's class, and the other party's photo was even on the gossip queen's blog.

Dan sent it himself after receiving the revelations.

Originally, Dan was quite happy that Collins was a guest at his house, but he didn't expect a sentence to come out of Jenny's mouth in the next second.

"Collins came to see Jamie, and I told her that Jamie had lived in our house for a year, and that I had just shown her the room where Jamie was staying."

Dan was furious when he heard this.

"Jamie has moved out, and now it's Nate's room, how can you just bring someone in?"

Jenny certainly wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, and she called Nate before taking Collins on a tour to ask for his opinion.

Nate agreed.

Dan can only apologize to Jenny, but he still disagrees with his sister's use of Jamie's fame to make friends.

At this time, Rufus interjected curiously.

"Jamie, how did you meet Collins?"

Before Jamie could reply, Collins spoke first.

"My mom was an interior designer, and her first client in New York was Jamie, whom I met at a party at our house."

Rufus then asked about Jamie's penthouse at Hampshire House.

Jamie took the opportunity to send an invitation to the Rufus family to attend a party at his house this weekend.

Knowing that Rufus might be worried about embarrassing Lily at the party, Jamie also went out of his way to add that he would also invite Collins' parents to the party.

Homeopathy also gags Collins' mouth.

In order to prevent Collins from coming to him to ask some childish "childish questions", Jamie then asks that he wants to talk to Dan alone.

The two of them went upstairs together to Dan's room.

After closing the door, Jamie pulled a chair and sat down.

Dan sat on the opposite bed and asked Jamie what was the matter.

"What's going on with your new novel? Don't admit it, I know you just lied to Rufus. ”

Dan had nothing to hide from Jamie, shrugged and replied:

"They don't think my novels have much value for publication."

Jamie frowned and asked:

"Then they're still asking you for an interview?"

"They thought my writing was good and wanted me to write on another subject that was easier to publish, but I hadn't decided whether to say yes."

Dan wasn't quite telling the truth.

Because the publisher's original words are that he wants Dan to write Jamie's story into a novel as a friend and from the perspective of a friend.

It would be best if you could get Jamie's permission.

If you can't, you can just fictionalize a male protagonist, as long as you can convince the reader that the character is based on Jamie.

There is no doubt that the publisher saw that Jamie is now popular, and his father not only owns the largest ranch in the United States, but also bought the Bulls, which is full of topicality, and decided to take advantage of this wave of popularity.

Dan's contribution was just an accident.

The publisher somehow learned about Dan and Jamie's relationship, and that's how they met.

Dan himself is very resistant to this matter and does not intend to confess to Jamie.

At least not now.

In order to prevent Jamie from chasing the problem, Dan took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Are you looking for me because of Ivy League Week next month?"

Jamie asked rhetorically:

"So you've already figured out which school you're going to?"

Dan shrugged.

"I wanted to try to apply to Yale myself, and if I failed or didn't get a full scholarship, I would consider a letter of recommendation from Nate's grandfather."

The implication is that I want to rush to Yale by myself, and I can't rely on relationships to go to Harvard.

It's very much in line with his character.

Jamie nodded, then asked Dan a strange question.

"If you succeed in publishing a novel and the response to the novel is good, will that help you apply for a full scholarship to Yale?"

"Of course."

Dan replied without hesitation.

After saying that, he suddenly came to his senses, Jamie couldn't have guessed what the publisher wanted him to write about a new subject, right?

Then Jamie suddenly asked.

"Are you going to write about the subject matter that the publisher says is easier to publish?"

Dan was really panicked this time.

As he was hesitating to confess now, Jamie suddenly stood up from his chair.

"I have an idea, would I like to hear it?"

Dan nodded subconsciously.

"The girl downstairs named Collins, my relationship with their family is not as simple as she just said."

Jamie's first words caught Dan's attention.

"Collins' parents adopted a black adopted son who was a year older than Collins, who was born in the slums but was extremely athletic, especially fond of basketball, and the only problem was that he did poorly in all his classes."

"Because of that, he couldn't get into King Chris High School to play, and that's when his adoptive mother, Collins's mother, found me."

Dan is not a fool either, and immediately reacted when he heard this.

It all had something to do with Jamie's father buying the Bulls the other day.

And Jamie's next words also confirmed Dan's guess.

"I'm going to sign an agreement with the Tawsi family to get permission to write a biographical novel about the family's adoption of a black child and raising them to become NBA players, and as long as the novel is published, the Toussi family will no longer be a problem."

Dan looked at Jamie with a fake puzzle.

He had already guessed what Jamie was going to say next, and his heart began to beat faster, but on the surface he had to pretend that nothing had happened.

"So what?"

"You know, I'm going to continue writing the follow-up novel to Percy Jackson, and I really don't have much time to interview the Taussy family and organize the writing material, so I want to find someone to co-sign this novel with me, and then the first person I think of is you."

"I wanted to talk to you about it at another time, but if you're really thinking about writing a novel as the publisher asks, why don't we work together?"
