In mid-August, Tokyo, heavy rain.

Huang Shang stood under the eaves, looked at the clouds in the sky, and counted with his fingers: "Typhoon, the rain stopped at two hours and twenty-eight minutes, and fell again in thirteen minutes, and lasted until evening, on and off for about two days."

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

Huang Shang was relieved that the divination of the Book of Changes was also very accurate in reality.

I made some snacks for lunch and continued watching movies in the living room.

In the past four worlds, two of his worlds suffered from the lack of plot advantages. If he hadn't been cautious by nature and made sufficient preparations in advance, there might have been problems in the last world.

After returning, I now have a lot of free time, so I simply watch more movies, but the ones I watch are all Chinese movies.

When he traveled through the world for the second time, he was already in Japan, but the next three worlds were all Chinese movies. From this, it can be speculated that his system should only travel through the Chinese movie world, otherwise there would be no reason for him to be in Japan.

But I didn’t travel through the Japanese movie world.

While watching the movie, Yinglili sent a video call request.

It’s really strange that during the time we’ve known each other, she has never made a video call.

After the call was connected, Huang Shang looked at Ying Lili, who had slightly messy hair, some dark circles under her eyes, and black-rimmed glasses, and asked, "Are you staying up late to practice immortality again?"

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

"Thank you for your hard work." Huang Shang took a sip of Coke.

"You guy, don't you like drinking Coke?" Ying Lili bared her little fangs and drank Coke in front of her. You must have done it on purpose!

"First of all, let me correct you. It's not that I don't like drinking Coke. It's just that Coke is a carbonated drink and is not suitable for athletes to drink. I don't drink Coke very much, but I have retired a long time ago. It's okay to drink a little occasionally." Huang Shang said.

"Huh!" Yinglili reluctantly accepted this reason.

"Stop losing your temper. What do you want to do with me?" Huang Shang asked, "This is the first time you have a video call with me after we have known each other for so long. Is there anything important?"

"Also...it's not that important."

Yinglili suddenly became shy and seemed to be asking him for something. This girl is so easy to understand, and all her emotions were written on her face.

"Let me tell you, as long as it's not too much, I can do you a favor."

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

After listening to Ying Lili's story, Huang Shang looked at her anxious look and said, "I can't help you with this."

Ying Lili is talking about illustrations. She has a best friend who writes about light things. They have known each other since high school. That best friend is one year older than her and is a senior. After seeing each other's works, they became each other's favorites.

Fans gradually became good friends, and later developed into a relationship of good besties.

After graduating from high school, Eiri started her career as an illustrator. The senior student was admitted to Waseda University without taking the exam a year ago. Not long ago, the senior student completed her university studies and officially entered the society. She is currently writing a new book.

We have signed a contract with Bunko and are currently selecting illustrators for the illustrations for the first volume.

Just yesterday, the senior came to Ying Lili's studio for a long time to visit her, and then saw the color painting that Huang Shang gave her. With just one glance, the senior decided to let herself be the author of the painting.

New calligraphy, painting and illustration, and then pestered Ying Lili to ask for Huang Shang’s contact information.

Of course Yinglili didn't give it, but she still promised to help. It's just that she worked too much yesterday. Not only did she not sleep all night, but she also worked on the manuscript all morning. She finally finished the work at noon, and then she didn't bother to clean up.

At the urging of the senior who slept here last night, I sent a video message to Huang Shang. After explaining the situation, I was ruthlessly rejected.

"That's true." Ying Lili smiled helplessly: "After all, Aunt Xinyun has already prepared to promote your works through an art exhibition. How can the author of the library afford you?"

"That's not what I mean." Huang Shang shook his head: "I don't care about money. It's just that there are too many things at home recently. I also have things to do. I don't have time or energy to draw any illustrations. If it was last month, maybe I would have agreed. Help.

I apologize to your best friend and thank her for liking my painting."

"That's it! Well, okay!" Ying Lili said: "Then I won't disturb you, I'm too sleepy, so I'm going to sleep first."

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

"No Road Race!"

After hanging up the phone, Ying Lili turned to her best friend who had been hiding outside the camera and said, "That's it."

My best friend sighed: "What a pity."

Ying Lili's best friend is a tall, straight black man with extraordinary appearance. He wears a white hairpin on his head, a light blue dress, a small dark blue suit on his upper body, and a pair of plump and slender legs.

Wearing black stockings, her charm instantly increased by two levels.

Her name is Kasumigaoka Shiu. She was the flower of the high mountains in the eyes of others during high school. She and Eri were known as the two campus beauties. She was the perennial number one in her grade. Therefore, she got admission to Waseda University early without taking the exam.

He started writing lightly in the first grade of high school, and before the end of his second year in high school, his sales volume exceeded 500,000 and he became a best-selling author. This is very rare for a newcomer, so he was particularly valued by the contracted library.

In the following three years of high school and four years of college, he successively created two light works, with total sales exceeding five million copies. He has almost become the mainstay of contract libraries. Moreover, his status as a beautiful girl writer is so popular that he even filmed a movie last summer.

A set of photo albums was released for sale, not showing the naked body, the type of literary girl, and it sold out of stock.

Another year passed, and its commercial value increased, even alarming the top management of Bunko. After comprehensively evaluating her commercial value, Bunko came up with a ten-year purchase agreement with a total value of one billion yen.

Break the contract.

Kasumigaoka Shiu came to visit Eiriri yesterday, and actually brought this contract with her for her reference. After all, Eiriri is a well-known lady, and she may not be very good at this aspect of contracts, but she has the best lawyer behind her.

.

Yesterday, Ying Lili faxed the contract to a barrister. After reading it, the lawyer felt that there was basically no problem with the contract. Except for the tens of billions in liquidated damages and the workload, which was a little high, there were no other problems.

The final suggestion given by the lawyer was: you can sign it, or you can continue to discuss those two points.

This result was similar to Kasumigaoka Shiyu's prediction. The reason why she hesitated was actually because of these two points.

She is an inspirational creator. As long as inspiration comes, she can write amazing text plots. But if there is no inspiration, she cannot write a word. However, this contract guarantees her the next ten years.

The workload has made clear requirements, which makes her uncomfortable, and the liquidated damages of 10 billion are indeed too high. Once she violates the contract for some reason, where can she find a 10 billion liquidated damages?

Jin? She wouldn't be worth so much money even if she were sold.

But there is no rush for this contract. Just like the lawyer said, just talk about these two points slowly. The most important thing right now is the illustrations for the new book.

Now the painter who attracted her heart has clearly rejected it, which makes her a little frustrated, but this painter is quite handsome, which makes her have the urge to be in love with him at first sight.

"Speaking of which, what's the name of this friend of yours? Why is he so unknown in the industry because he paints so well?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked.

"He is not from the industry." Ying Lili yawned, threw herself on the bed, and said: "He is the son of the Queen of the Empire Jin Xinyun, his surname is Huang, and his name is Huang Shang. He used to play basketball and he was very good at it. You You can search for his game videos online, but he retired due to injury a few years ago and now works as a teacher in a third-tier town in China."

"..."

The amount of information in these words was a bit large. It took Kasumigaoka Shiyu some time to absorb it, and he was surprised: "He is actually the son of the queen of the empire, but what the hell is being a teacher in China? Shouldn't he be ready to take over?"

"Hey, Huang Shang's temperament is a bit like yours. He is a relatively casual person and has no interest in taking over." Ying Lili smiled and said: "And this guy is versatile. Not only is he good at painting, but he is also good at calligraphy. The rice is even better..." Having said this, Ying Lili's mouth watered.

Suck--

"No, my mouth is watering just thinking about it."

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It seems that Huang Sang's cooking skills are drooling even if you, a young lady who has eaten all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, are drooling!"

"It's awesome, okay!" Ying Lili showed her little fangs: "Huh! This guy is a genius with a high IQ. He can learn everything in one go and become good at it in a while. The painting style you see is also the same. He created it himself, and no one in the industry can draw it. Ah! Damn it, why is there such a thing as a genius in this world? These guys should be captured and sliced ​​for study."

"That's really amazing." Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled slightly. Although he praised him, he didn't take it seriously. Since he refused to draw an illustration for himself, he was someone who was not related to him. Since he was not related, no matter how good the other person was, he was friendly. What does it matter to you?

Kasumigaoka Shiyu is such a proud person.

"Hey, speaking of..." 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 the relationship between Fantastic Library and Jin Xinyun's head office. 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 for a while and suddenly said, "No wonder there seemed to be some job changes within Fantastic Library three years ago. Fortunately, my editor-in-chief did not change and was promoted, otherwise I would not have continued to stay. In the Fantastic Library."

"Hehe, this is interesting." Yinglili said with a bad smile: "You actually want the son of the ultimate boss to draw illustrations for you. How brave you are."
