Chapter 21 Dolls
"Teacher Lingchen, this is the most sincere contract our company can bring to new authors. Please check it out."
In the cafe, Fang Yuan took out a folder and handed it to Lin Yicheng.
"Thanks."
Lin Yicheng took over the contract and asked while looking through it: "Can you explain the general content?"
"OK."
Fang Yuan smiled and said: "The main part of the agreement is that you hand over the copyright of the e-book "The Life of Matsuko Despised" to our company for the agent. Our company will provide promotion resources on the entire platform, and the net income of your works will be allocated 30% to our company as operating expenses."
"I have no objection."
Lin Yicheng nodded.
He remembered that the income of online writers is generally 50% of the platform, and he only needs to share 30% of Zhongxia.com, which is indeed a very sincere contract.
"Can you check it out?"
Yu Xin stretched out her little hand eagerly.
"Um."
Lin Yicheng casually handed the contract to Yu Xin.
Generally speaking, a contract is a commercial secret and leaking is a criminal act, but he has just said that Yu Xin is his "lawyer", so it is no problem.
“Um…”
Yu Xin looked through the contract seriously, as if she could really find out something. Lin Yicheng didn't expect her to tell her why, and said to Fang Yuan without changing his face: "I have no other opinions on the contract yet, but I can't be hasty in this kind of thing. Please give me a few days..."
“There is one clause here that is unreasonable.”
Yu Xin suddenly spoke out.
"Ah?"
Lin Yicheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the short-haired girl beside him in shock, "Little Yuer..."
Of course he would not be careless about contracts or something, so he proposed that it would take several days to consider, which was also to consult a lawyer...
Yu Xin's mother is indeed a lawyer, but her legal knowledge cannot be inherited, so he didn't take her previous words to heart... This guy doesn't really understand law, right?
"Fangyuan Edit."
Yu Xin wrinkled her little nose, put the contract on the table, pointed to an additional condition and said: "This 'Party A has the priority acquisition right of other copyrights of the agreed work'...isn't it reasonable?"
"Um?"
Fang Yuan was also stunned, and then said dryly: "Ms. Yu Xin, this is the standard clause of our company's standard contract. Under normal circumstances, this agreement will not be used, so you can rest assured..."
"Since you delete it like this, it doesn't matter, right?"
Yu Xin said without any concession: "This content is a tyrannical clause. If other copyrights of Acheng's novels are to be sold to a third party, you must ask your opinions first. This is very unreasonable and I think it should be deleted."
“…What you said makes sense.”
Fangyuan's eyes twitched.
This clause is indeed a small trap set by Zhongxia.com for newcomers. If Lin Yicheng is now a famous writer, he would never have seen this content.
No matter which industry, newcomers generally have no room for acceptance but no room for negotiation. Only when they achieve results can they have the right to sit on the negotiating table.
But there are exceptions in everything... geniuses have privileges.
"On behalf of the company, I agree to amend the contract. Do you have any other demands?"
Fangyuan politely said.
"No more...
Yu Xin turned over the contract in her hand again, then looked at Lin Yicheng like a credit, and said with a bright smile: "I didn't lie to you, are you?"
"It's great~"
Lin Yicheng couldn't react and raised his hand and rubbed her little head.
"Do you want to argue with me in this tone?"
Yu Xin slapped Lin Yicheng's hand away in disgust.
"Editor Fangyuan, let's sign the contract again now."
Lin Yicheng said to Fang Yuan with a smile.
Since Xiao Yuer really knows a little bit of law, there is no need to waste time and money to ask a lawyer for consultation, not to mention... Even if there are other unequal treaties in the contract, as Party B, he does not have much say. After all, he is just a newcomer, and it is normal to be exploited.
"OK."
Fang Yuan also smiled.
Lin Yicheng and Fang Yuan made a new contract in a self-service printer on the street. This time he did not struggle too much and signed the contract quickly.
...
After Lin Yicheng watched Fang Yuan leave, he looked at the beautiful girl beside him and smiled and said, "Thanks to you today."
"If you want to thank me, come up with something substantial?"
Yu Xin put her hands on her hips proudly.
"What kind of reward does Miss Yu Xin want?"
Lin Yicheng cooperated and said, "Please treat you to your favorite beef hotpot?"
"Okay!"
Yu Xin pulled Lin Yicheng and jumped towards the starry sky building.
Lin Yicheng soon regretted it...
He just wanted to have lunch, but when he came out of the hot pot restaurant and Yu Xin pulled him to a clothing store, he realized that today's time would be wasted on this woman.
...
"I'm back. There is still a painting in the studio that has not been finished. I have to go over and make up for it. Bye!"
"bye……"
In front of the gate of Shenyi Affiliated Middle School, Lin Yicheng looked at Yu Xin tiredly and slowly disappeared into the afterglow of the sunset, "A day passed so white..."
He complained, turned around and was about to go back to Shenmu, but after taking two steps, he suddenly froze again.
"No, no?"
He lowered his head with a twitching corner of his mouth and looked speechlessly at the shopping bag in his hand, "Why did that guy clamor for this in the end?"
Lin Yicheng was pulled by Yu Xin to wander around the Starry Sky Building. Although the latter was excited and kept visiting various women's clothing stores, he had no intention of buying it. It seemed that he was just enjoying the shopping process.
Finally, Yu Xin pulled him to take out a doll from the claw machine... and walked around for the only gain from noon.
"Call it up... forget it, just take it to the studio and give it to her."
Lin Yicheng rubbed his forehead and dragged his tired body towards the studio.
Yu Xin only has one studio where he stayed in. He also spent a few days in that studio last week, so he is quite familiar with it.
"Why does Xiaoyuer like such ugly dolls?"
Lin Yicheng looked at the doll cat in the transparent shopping bag.
This doll cat has pink and white hair, but its anthropomorphic facial features reveal a sinister look opposite to its own color. There is also a "love heart" cut from black fabric at the heart of the abdomen... Pink-cut black?
"I'm still coming to the studio so late, Xiao Yu'er is really working hard... eh?"
Lin Yicheng came to the first floor of the teaching area of Shenyi Affiliated High School. From a distance, he saw that the door of the studio was not closed and the warm lights were scattered out.
"Little Fish..."
Lin Yicheng was about to enter the studio, but the scene inside made his pupils suddenly shrink and he stopped.
There were two students in the studio at this time, one was Li Qiunian, whom he had met once, and the other was Yu Xin, who had just said goodbye to him.
The delicate face of this close friend who had been with him for three years was a look he had never seen before, as if he had changed...
