In the master bedroom bathroom on the third floor, Li Luo took a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes.

Seeing that Butler Liu hadn't come to call him to eat yet, Li Luo sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, coded for a while and relaxed.

By the way, I took a look at the messages on QQ to see if there was anything important.

As a result, I saw the message from the editor Qianzhou.

[Qianzhou]: The people at the Copyright Department want your contact information. I gave you your phone number and QQ, saying that if there are any subsequent copyright negotiations, I will notify you in advance.

[Reignited]: Oh, I know this. The editor-in-chief talked to me about it before.

[Qianzhou]: Okay, you’ll be fine if you know that. If everything goes well and the copyright is sold, you will probably be platinum at the next annual meeting, and you will still be an 18-year-old platinum master!

[Reignited]: Cough...why do you feel you are more excited than me?

[Qianzhou]: Isn’t this exciting? Just ask other editors, they will never be able to produce an 18-year-old platinum award under their lifetime editors.

[Reignited]: So do you have a bonus?

[Qianzhou]: It must be true. If you have a master or platinum under your control, the proportion of commission bonuses can be permanently increased. It’s all money, right?

[Reignited]: If she works hard and gives her more resources to go to bed early, she will become a great master in the next book.

[Qianzhou]: Haha! Then I must be optimistic about her, but you are so kind to your girlfriend by privately soliciting resources for her.

[Reignited]: You are wrong. I am doing you a favor by pointing out a path for your commission bonus, but there is no need to say thank you. I don’t care about it either.

[Qianzhou]: ...You have something to say about your good writing, but your shame is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

After briefly chatting with the editor, Li Luo ended the topic, then thought about it and called lawyer Tian Litian.

After some communication on the phone, the two initially reached a verbal agreement.

When someone from the Copyright Department of Wenyue Group came over, Li Luo pushed Lawyer Tian over and asked the other party to communicate with Lawyer Tian later.

Anyway, his positioning for "Little Joy" is very clear, which is to use the endorsement of the Qidian platform to increase the value of his copyright.

According to what the platinum boss mentioned to him before, it is much easier for an author to sell new copyrights after successfully selling them once than for other authors.

If the copyrights sold and the film and television works adapted can still achieve good results.

Then this is not a question of whether the copyright is easy to sell, but a question of how high the price can be raised and how many companies are fighting privately to grab it.

For Li Luo, it was an unexpected surprise to be able to write a book called "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" with over 50,000 subscriptions.

Originally, he simply wanted to write a book and save money first. With a start-up capital, he could open an account to invest in stocks when he became an adult.

In his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to the stock market. He only occasionally listened to Xu Youyu's instructions on stock trading.

Relying on the ability of the memory palace, we can still know the general trend of certain stocks in the future.

Moreover, with the investment experience Xu Youyu provided him, regardless of whether he would make money or not, at least he could perfectly avoid those cancer stocks that Xu Youyu had invested in.

However, all of this was derailed by the unexpected song "Rings of the Year".

Not only relying on this original song, but also through Yan Zhusheng's relationship, I established a connection with Yuan Wanqing.

With this linkage between reality and novel content, a certain circle-breaking effect was achieved for the first time.

And this effect also reached an unprecedented peak in the subsequent collaborations with Yuan Wanqing.

So much so that the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" brought Li Luo far more profits than expected.

At the same time, it also opened another door to wealth and freedom for him.

If you can make big money early, who would be willing to wait until later?

Look at it now.

If they hadn't made money in advance, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong would probably still be busy in the breakfast shop right now.

Where can I be freed from the heavy work and enjoy the wonderful retirement life in advance like now?

Thinking of the smiles on his parents' faces today, and the overall changes in their spirits after giving up the breakfast shop for nearly a year, Li Luo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and his mood was particularly bright.

Rebirth...isn't that what it's for?

…

At half past six in the evening, Butler Liu went upstairs and invited them to the restaurant for dinner.

After a while, Li Luo and his group went downstairs and sat down in the restaurant.

After confirming that Li Luo and the others were all present, Butler Liu clapped his hands in the direction of the kitchen, and the maids began to serve the dishes.

"This is Yanglan fish in sour soup. It is a fish soup made from the two sea fish caught by Mr. Li, supplemented by sour beans, tomatoes, sour bamboo shoots and sour carambolas. It tastes very delicious."

Butler Liu stood aside and pointed to one of the dishes after introducing it, and then pointed to another plate of fish, "This is the steamed grouper, the one caught by Mr. Xu. Because it tastes fresh and tender, it only needs to be steamed."

It’s delicious.”

After a brief introduction, Butler Liu excused himself and left without disturbing them to enjoy the delicious food.

Li Guohong couldn't wait to take a bite of the fish he caught, and then said with a satisfied look on his face: "This thing I caught is delicious. It tastes really good. You guys should try it too."

After that, he first brought himself a bowl of fish soup, and then tasted the steamed grouper, and couldn't help but praise it again.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Rongsheng brought the topic of small talk at the table to the book "Little Joy".

After learning that Li Luo's "Little Joy" was likely to have sold the copyright, Xu Rongsheng was slightly surprised, but immediately nodded and said: "If it can be made into a TV series, I think it will be quite good, at least your Aunt Cui

You’ll probably enjoy watching it.”

"How do you know I like to watch it?" Cui Suling asked doubtfully.

"You can usually even watch TV dramas with inferior plots." Xu Rongsheng glanced at her, "Then Li Luo's drama will definitely not be worse than those."

Cui Suling: "...you said this as if I have poor taste."

"That's not true." Xu Youyu interjected from the side. Cui Suling was so angry that she almost couldn't hold back and exposed her on the first day.

"But the copyright is still being discussed, so I'm not sure what will happen." Li Luo said with a smile, "And even if it is sold, it will definitely be a long time before it is actually filmed and released.

It’s too early to say that now.”

"You can ask my dad during the Chinese New Year." Ying Chanxi said from the side, "Let their company use the extra money to buy your copyright. Anyway, in the end, it will basically be the shareholders who pay, and you can earn a little more.

"

Li Luo: "...It doesn't have to be like this."

If the board of directors were to find out about Ying Zhicheng's exploitative behavior in the future, not only would he be able to hold on to his current position as general manager, he might even be involved in a lawsuit.

I can only say that Ying Chanxi is really Ying Zhicheng’s caring little cotton-padded jacket.

Just when I met Li Luo, there was a slight leak.

After dinner, the eight people had eaten and drank enough and went to the second floor, intending to eat some food first.

Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng were a little tired from fishing in the afternoon, so they planned to get a massage first.

Li Luo and others accompanied the two mothers into the mahjong room.

Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu were there to accompany them, while Li Luo and Ying Chanxi came off to play with them.

Xu Youyu sat between Cui Suling and Li Luo, watching them play cards, looking here and there.

When Li Luo was struggling with which card to play, Xu Youyu whispered: "Play nine."

When Cui Suling heard this, she was immediately speechless: "You girl, how can you eat everything? How can you still talk after seeing my cards?"

"I'm just suggesting, what if you let him play the card you want? Li Luo may not believe me." Xu Youyu said in a serious manner, but in the end he only got a blank look from Cui Suling.

However, as she continued to play mahjong, Lin Xiuhong laughed a little: "I thought we were traveling, but in the end we played a lot of mahjong."

"The most important thing about traveling is who you go out with and having fun. Everything else is secondary." Li Luo typed nine words beside him, "We are here to have fun, and we don't have to go somewhere."

Card, it’s considered a trip to Qiongzhou City.” “Yes, I think so too.” Xu Youyu nodded and said, “Traveling is about having fun. To be honest, most of these scenic spots are boring. The point is that we go out together.

Play."

Because the few times I traveled in my previous life, I always went out with Xu Youyu.

Therefore, in terms of his attitude towards tourism, Li Luo was also influenced by Xu Youyu, and he was disgusted and repulsed by special forces-style check-in tours that specifically went to various scenic spots.

I prefer the feeling of taking my time and following my own pace.

If you go on a trip just to go to popular scenic spots to watch the excitement and take photos with the crowds, then it’s really better to stay at home and blow on the air conditioner, and find friends to play cards and have a drink.

On this point, Xu Youyu obviously agreed with Li Luo. After hearing what Li Luo said, he immediately agreed.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Luo with a smile in his eyes. It was obvious that Xu Youyu was very happy at this another agreement of views.

This feeling of having the other person agree with you no matter what you do is really comfortable.

…

After playing mahjong with the two mothers for more than an hour, after Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng came back from the massage, the four little ones got up and left, and the two fathers took over the game.

Li Guohong sat on Li Luo's seat, opened the drawer of the mahjong table, took a look at it, and suddenly said speechlessly: "You've almost lost everything, and you only have one chip left?"

"It's fun when it's challenging. Come on dad, we're leaving first." Li Luo said with a smile at the door, turned around and walked away quickly.

The four of them returned to the third floor. Xu Youyu clapped his hands and said, "I just told Butler Liu that hot water has been put in the indoor hot springs over there. Let's take a shower and put on our swimsuits and go directly there."
