Chapter 112: The Tragedy of Chicken Killing and the Reverie in the Book Store(2/2)

Li Miao looked at her in confusion.

Su Rou explained: "Master Li, it's like this. I have finished writing my first novel. Some time ago, I tried to go to a bookstore. The shopkeeper of the bookstore read my novel.

After that, he showed great interest on the spot, and after some discussion, he bought my novel for one hundred taels of silver."

When she said this, she couldn't help but smile a little. I guess she was very satisfied with it.

She continued: "Master Li, there are a total of ninety taels of silver in this money bag. I took ten taels from the one hundred taels."

Li Miao pushed the money bag back and said, "Miss Su, you wrote this novel. Why do you give me the money?"

Su Rou said: "Mr. Li, although this novel was indeed written by me, I just wrote it. The settings, storyline, etc. were all your thoughts, Mr. Li. So this novel is written by Mr. Li.

Mr. Li, yours is more accurate. Naturally, Mr. Li, you should occupy the majority of it."

Li Miao said: "But even so, I occupy too much land, right?"

Su Judao: "Not much at all."

Li Miao thought it was too much, but Su Rou thought it was not much, which is in line with common sense.

Next, after some lip-synching and tongue-drying from Li Miao, Su Rou finally accepted the view that she indeed occupied a relatively small position.

In the end, 50-50, the two reached an agreement here.

So, Li Miao returned the forty taels of silver to Su Rou, and took fifty taels for himself.

Then, Li Miao asked: "Miss Su, what is your share of the book store?"

"How much will it be divided into?"

Su Rou looked at Li Miao with doubts and confusion in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Li Miao couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, and said: "Miss Su, couldn't you have bought all of your novel for only one hundred taels of silver? What about the copyright?

All the other things are no longer in your hands?"

Su Rou still looked at Li Miao in confusion and said: "Master Li, is there any problem with this? I thought that the novel could be sold for dozens of taels of silver, which was already very good, but I didn't expect that it could be sold for one.

One hundred taels of silver. And... Mr. Li, what do you mean by copyright?"

Li Miao: "..."

He forgot that there is no such thing as copyright in this world.

Facing Su Rou's puzzled and curious eyes, Li Miao said sadly: "Miss Su, we have suffered a big loss!"

Then, some explanations were given.

Su Rou was dumbfounded and said: "Master Li, but... everyone else is like this too. There is no such thing as your statement. I deliberately asked about it before selling it.



Li Miao said: "Maybe not before, but that's not important. What's important is that before you sell your next novel, you must remember to tell me in advance that I will go with you."

We can't let those unscrupulous bosses continue to be so unscrupulous.

"Yeah."

Su Rou nodded lightly, although she still didn't understand why Mr. Li was so excited about this.

Then, she remembered the idea that Li Miao had been away from during this period, and said to Li Miao: "Master Li, I am going to start the second novel. During this time, I thought of an idea. I wonder if you have any ideas now, Mr. Li."

Can you help me take a look at it?"

"Oh? I don't know what the idea is? You might as well tell me and take a look."

Li Miao showed a curious look.

So, Su Rou took out the outline and talked about her idea. She looked at Li Miao expectantly and nervously, waiting for his evaluation.

There is no doubt that the background of her conception contains traces of A Chinese Ghost Story, as well as Taoist priests, ghosts and other elements.

After Li Miao pondered for a while, he said: "Miss Su, your overall idea is quite good, but there are a few points that I think are not very good and need to be improved."

"For example, since the fox demon named Bai Ling has been able to cultivate into an adult, it means that its magic power is relatively advanced. Therefore, your plot was about being injured by several hunters, seriously injured and escaped, and then was rescued by the male protagonist.

It’s a bit inconsistent.”

"I would like to ask, how could a fox demon with high magic power be injured by several hunters? This point needs to be changed. For example, the fox demon was injured by an old Taoist priest who also has profound Taoism..."

Li Miao pointed out some of the irregularities and deficiencies in Su Rou's ideas one by one, while Su Rou took out a pen and wrote them down one by one, just like before.

Just like that, about an hour passed.

Li Miao stood up to say goodbye. Su Rou wanted to keep Li Miao down to have breakfast with her, but this time she was refused by Li Miao.

After coming out of Su Rou's place, Li Miao walked towards the familiar noodle stall.

While walking on the road, I passed by a bookstore.

Li Miao remembers clearly that this place was not a bookstore before, and it was obviously opened during the period when he left the capital.

Wait...

An idea suddenly appeared in Li Miao's mind.

Why do we need to cooperate with bookstores when we can just get one ourselves?

In this case, doesn’t it mean that you have the final say in everything?

Li Miao became more and more excited when she thought of Su Rou coding and providing the bookstore by herself, with the white money pouring into her pocket in an endless stream.

During these days, I spent money lavishly. Although Zheliu had stuffed a lot of banknotes into me before, the money I won from the Bishui Pavilion Poetry Meeting was almost spent.

Moreover, Wu Yong must be paid every month...

Thinking of this, Li Miao decided in her heart that she would have to think about it carefully after going back to see how feasible this matter was.

Unknowingly, Li Miao had arrived at the familiar noodle stall.

Because it was breakfast time, the business of the small noodle stall was relatively lively, with people sitting down at almost every seat.

"Brother Sanshui!"

The little girl He Caier spotted Li Miao immediately, quickly put down the empty bowl in her hand, and ran over excitedly.

Li Miao picked her up and said with a smile: "Well... Cai'er has become heavier after not seeing each other for a while."

He Cai'er was hugging Li Miao's neck affectionately. After hearing this sentence, her little mouth suddenly tightened and she said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Sanshui, it's really annoying. When we first met, he said he was heavy. What a shame for him to do this."

Miss you."

Li Miao quickly apologized and said: "Okay, okay, brother Sanshui was wrong. Cai'er is not serious at all."

After saying this, He Caier showed a bright smile again.

Sweat!

At such a young age, weight is so important. It seems that women’s obsession with weight has no age distinction.

"Sanshui, I'm back."

After delivering a bowl of noodles to the guests, Qin Hong walked over with a doting smile on her face.

"Yeah."
Chapter completed!
