"Xiaoli."
The gentle voice sounded again.
Ji Xiaoli looked up and saw Li Songyuan walking over with a bottle of safflower oil. He waved the bottle in his hand and smiled at her. "Do you mind if I apply the medicine for you?"
"I... I..."
Ji Xiaoli's face flushed instantly. She stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Otherwise," Li Songyuan raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue. "Are you going to limp like this to meet the producer later?"
Of course not!
Ji Xiaoli shook her head like a rattle.
Li Songyuan smiled, half - squatted down, and looked at her swollen foot.
"Then I'll apply the medicine for you?"
Ji Xiaoli's face turned even redder, and her mind seemed to be on fire.
For a moment, her mind went blank. All she could think about was that sentence - [Wow~~ The system detects that the player's romantic luck is booming now! The player must seize the opportunity!]
Seize...
The opportunity...
Ji Xiaoli looked at her opportunity.
Her eyes were burning brightly, like a tiger or a leopard eyeing its prey.
...
A few hours later, after Ji Xiaoli finished talking with the producer of Chenyu Film and Television Company, her mind was still buzzing.
It was her first time contacting a producer, and she had absolutely no experience in negotiating contracts. So throughout the whole process, basically the producer talked about requirements and ideas, while Li Songyuan negotiated terms and prices.
Ji Xiaoli was completely confused. She didn't dare to speak rashly, so she had to pretend to be seriously studying the contract in front of them.
So, even after the producer had left, Ji Xiaoli was still pretending to study the contract.
"Do you understand?"
After seeing off the producer, Li Songyuan turned around and looked at Ji Xiaoli with a smile, who was still studying the contract with her head down.
This girl had been distracted just now. He wasn't blind.
But it was understandable. It was her first time dealing with such things. She must have been completely dazed.
"Yeah, yeah. I understand."
Ji Xiaoli pursed her lips and nodded seriously.
"Oh? Then, Xiaoli, tell me about it?" Li Songyuan seemed to be interested. He pulled out the stool next to Ji Xiaoli and sat down, looking at her with great interest.
Ji Xiaoli shrank her neck and her eyes fixed on the contract.
"It means that," she pursed her lips, and her hand picked up the title page of the contract. "If everything goes smoothly, Chenyu Film and Television will start shooting my novel by the end of this year?"
"Yeah." Li Songyuan nodded.
"And they'll invite me to be the screenwriter?"
Li Songyuan interrupted her and pointed at himself. "And me."
Ji Xiaoli quickly averted her eyes in a flurry. Of course she knew this. After all, it was the requirement she had added just now.
The excuse she made was that she was a newbie and had no experience, so she hoped the editor could assist her.
But actually...
Ji Xiaoli raised her eyes and stole another glance at her... prey.
"Xiaoli," Li Songyuan still had a faint smile on his face. "Did you forget the most important thing?"
Oh right, the most important thing was the film and television copyright fee...
Ji Xiaoli took a deep breath. "The film and television copyright fee for My Life Is on a Roll they offered me is..."
When her finger pointed at the eye - catching figure on the contract, her hand trembled a little.
"30 million yuan."
Ji Xiaoli wasn't unaware of what this 30 - million - yuan figure meant.
Before coming here, she had specifically checked online how much a novel could sell its film and television copyright for.
She remembered the answer she found at that time: there were novels sold for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and there were also many sold for 4 or 5 million yuan. As for those sold for over 10 million yuan, well, just dream on!
Dream on...
And she... had dreamed it into reality!!
"Xiaoli, you deserve this."
Li Songyuan suddenly said.
His voice was gentle, like a gurgling stream seeping into Ji Xiaoli's heart.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoli thought it would be great if she could have a boyfriend like Li Songyuan.
Ji Xiaoli was an action - oriented person. Since she had this thought, she would definitely take action - find the system!
As soon as she parted ways with Li Songyuan, Ji Xiaoli drove back to her dormitory.
On the way, she hurriedly found the system to inquire.
Ji Xiaoli: Big shot, big shot, how can I make my male god fall in love with me?
System: [Oops~ This question stumps me. Change the way of asking!]
Ji Xiaoli:...
What a useless system! What's the use of you?
[Please give the system at least some respect! Muah~]
Ji Xiaoli: %&￥...
After taking a deep breath, Ji Xiaoli rephrased her question: May I ask the respected system, how can I increase my romantic luck?
The system really knew the answer to this question.
[The principle remains the same. The player still needs to spend money. When the player spends money, the good - luck value will increase, and the romantic luck will increase accordingly.]
Ji Xiaoli: Oh... So if my romantic luck increases, will the person I like fall in love with me?
[Hehe.]
Ji Xiaoli wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt as if the system had sneered twice without any attempt to hide it!
[Sorry, player. The system doesn't have the ability to detect who you like.]
[After all, I'm sure even the player herself isn't clear about this, right?]
Not clear? How could she not be clear??
She liked Li Songyuan now - the mature, gentle, and considerate uncle who was as warm as the spring breeze.
Moreover, she was going to win him over!
A ringtone rang, breaking Ji Xiaoli's daydream.
"Hey, Ji Xiaoli, where are you?"
Zheng Nanfeng's voice came through.
Ji Xiaoli walked slowly with the phone in her hand. She looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and smiled. "Me? I'm under the sun!"
The sun was extremely warm.
Thinking of the person she liked, her heart was also extremely warm!
"Pfft." Zheng Nanfeng laughed. He joked, "What a coincidence. I'm under a cloud now. I..."
"Get to the point. If you've got nothing to say, get lost!"
Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes and interrupted him.
"Why are you so fierce..."
Mr. Zheng's good mood was completely ruined!
He sighed and said, "I want to invite you to dinner this Saturday..."
"— I'm not going!"
"— With Aunt Wei."
With her mother...
Ji Xiaoli thought for a moment but still refused. "I'm not going!"
"There's also a big shot. Are you sure you don't want to come?"
Zheng Nanfeng's voice rose at the end, obviously smiling. "A celebrity who just came back from South Korea. His name is... Zhong Canxi."
Ji Xiaoli suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Come or not?"
Ji Xiaoli: "I'll come!"
