Chapter 101: Chapter 101: If it’s Brother Jiang Xu, it’s not necessarily a no
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyan, Jiang Xu felt a surge of anger.
This girl was too much, keeping him up all night yesterday.
He planned to give her a severe scolding.
Yet, Jiang Xiaoyan, upon seeing Jiang Xu, lunged straight at him.
Under Jiang Xu’s astonished gaze,
She collapsed to her knees with a thud, begging, “Spare me, I know I was wrong.”
God!
Was this the so-called adaptability?
After that submissive act, Jiang Xu’s anger considerably subsided.
But still, he warned her, “If this happens again,
I will shave off all your long hair.”
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him with watery eyes, “If it’s you, Jiang Xu, I might consider.”
“Consider your ass!” Jiang Xu was utterly speechless.
He discovered that his methods to deal with Jiang Xiaoyan were indeed very few.
Scaring her with brute force seemed the only effective method.
Fed up with her nonsense, Jiang Xu grabbed his backpack and headed out the door.
Before leaving, he dragged her down from the second floor.
However, what Jiang Xu didn’t know was,
Jiang Xiaoyan soon returned upstairs and locked herself inside his room.
She wrapped herself in a quilt, 𝗳𝐫𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦
And strange sounds started coming from the room.
When Jiang Xu arrived at the school, the first class had just ended.
An Nuonuo anxiously asked him what had happened.
“Ah!” Jiang Xu sighed, “Nothing much, just that I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept tossing and turning.
Kept seeing someone’s figure in my head. Before I knew it, it was morning.”
“Wh…who were you thinking about?” An Nuonuo nervously and expectantly asked.
Jiang Xu shrugged, “I don’t know, but that girl liked to bite people, she was a little menace.”
An Nuonuo fell silent.
She quickly picked up a book, lowered her head, pretending to be engrossed in reading.
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but tap her.
An Nuonuo angrily retorted, “What are you hitting me for?”
“Dummy, you’re holding the book upside down.”
An Nuonuo looked down. Sure enough, she was.
She laid her head on the table, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone. freewe(b)novel.c(o)m
Jiang Xu burst into laughter.
At noon, Jiang Xu received a call from Liu Yue.
She wanted to buy the TV and Film rights to “Pure Lover”.
It seemed the initial success of “Those Bygone Years” had given her a taste of success.
Therefore, she wished to continue the collaboration between them.
They agreed to meet at six in the evening to discuss the details.
When school ended in the afternoon, Jiang Xu parted ways with An Nuonuo.
Now he was going home with Zhang Yuanyuan.
They established a good rapport during the summer break.
Jiang Xu had observed this girl. She was pretty decent and could be a friend.
The meeting took place at a restaurant.
Jiang Xu arrived first and waited for over ten minutes before Liu Yue arrived.
She was elegantly dressed.
She sat down and said, “I apologize for being late. I was promoting our project in another city in the morning and got delayed on my way here.”
Jiang Xu shook his head indicating it wasn’t a problem.
He asked her about her food preferences and if she had any dietary restrictions.
They ordered eight dishes.
They didn’t jump into business right away and made polite conversation.
Honestly,
When Jiang Xu publicly humiliated Zhou Qingyue at school,
Liu Yue really disliked him.
She even regretted buying the rights to his novel.
But after conducting investigations through other sources, her opinion of him completely changed.
She understood, it was Zhou Qingyue who had rejected Jiang Xu before.
It was entirely her own undoing.
Wasting such a good, such an outstanding boy.
The dishes arrived quickly.
Jiang Xu was cheerfully eating and chatting away with her.
He had no intention of bringing up the actual matter at hand.
He didn’t want to put himself at a disadvantage.
Liu Yue couldn’t help but feel Zhou Qingyue was too impulsive and had really missed out.
Jiang Xu was only a senior in high school.
Yet, he exuded a maturity and stability some twenty-five or twenty-six-year-olds lacked.
Off her own accord, Liu Yue starts, “About the copyright of the novel “Pure Lover,”
“I was thinking of going about it the same way as we did for the previous novel.
I believe you’ve seen the capabilities of Qinghe Company.”
“No, no, no.” Jiang Xu shook his head, “That doesn’t apply here.
“Firstly, “Pure Lover” sold twenty times as many copies as “Those Bygone Years.”
This corresponds to a higher level of name recognition, which naturally means higher copyright prices.”
Liu Yue, “But the success of your novel
is due to the promotion by our company’s second-largest shareholder.”
Jiang Xu spread his hands, “But what does that have to do with me?
That was an individual voluntary act.”
Liu Yue was exasperated.
At such a young age, he already behaved as if he could fleece others.
Helpless, Liu Yue had to ask Jiang Xu what price he had in mind.
Jiang Xu said, “We can follow the model of our previous novel.
However, one thing should be added.
The revenue share should be increased by six percent. Additionally, pay me an extra hundred thousand.”
The revenue share agreed for the previous novel was ten percent of the net profit.
If six percent is added, that’s too much.
Liu Yue could not accept that, shaking her head, saying it was too much and she couldn’t agree.
Jiang Xu came up with such an amount to negotiate, it was not the final price.
Subsequently, they started a war of words.
Finally, the revenue share for the third book was set between thirteen and twelve percent.
This time Liu Yue wanted to buy both the TV series and movie copyrights.
Thirteen percent for the TV series and twelve percent for the movie.
Later, Liu Yue planned to also sign for the TV series rights of “Those Bygone Years”.
Last time he only gave her the movie rights.
However, this time Jiang Xu demanded a fifteen percent share from the start.
And under no circumstances did he compromise.
“Those Bygone Years” already had a trend of becoming a sensation.
That meant the future TV series already had a pre-established audience base.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Xu naturally wouldn’t relent.
He had Liu Yue cornered.
Liu Yue was out of words, and Jiang Xu hadn’t budged an inch.
In the end, she had no choice but to agree.
She bitterly laughed, “You really know how to negotiate.”
Jiang Xu didn’t reply.
After the meal, they headed to the same law firm as before.
Under the lawyer’s witness, they finalized the agreements for two contracts.
They went their separate ways.
Actually, Jiang Xu initially planned to put forward another condition.
Which would forbid Zhou Qingyue from participating in “Pure Lover”.
But upon giving it some thought, he dropped the idea.
Though he had gained some fame now,
It had not reached to the point where he could influence their selection of actors.
He went home, planning to write more outlines for his novel.
Since he was not short on funds, he could go all out.
At ten o’clock, he stopped working.
He sent the outlines for sixteen novels to Lin Nan.
Just as Jiang Xu was preparing to sleep, An Nuonuo sent him a message.
