Chapter 237 Unable to let go yet afraid to get close

Yang Miao goes to bed early because she has to go to school.

The next morning, on her way to school, she accidentally opened her phone and saw that Fang Li had sent her a message at around 11 p.m. the night before.

Fang Li felt it was a bit strange to ask Han Chunxi directly, so she asked Yang Miao to inquire about her mother under the guise of a friend being a fan of a celebrity.

"friend?"

Yang Miao's eyes showed doubt. Wasn't this excuse a bit too old-fashioned?

She replied to Fang Li: "Auntie, is your friend male or female, and what does he/she do?"

Fang Li had just gotten up and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up when she received Yang Miao's message.

Upon seeing it, my heart skipped a beat.

This girl is very cunning; we must never let her know that she asked on behalf of her senior.

Fang Li thought for a moment and replied, "Of course she's a girl. She works behind the scenes in the film and television industry, just like me."

Yang Miao: "Oh, I see. She wouldn't happen to be someone from your studio, would she?"

Fang Li's heart tightened, and she quickly denied it: "No, she works at another company and is not in Beijing. She wanted to follow her idol but didn't know how, so she came to me. I just asked her on her behalf."

Yang Miao sat in the car, raising an eyebrow: "Since you're a fan, why ask about their personal relationships? How about I get you some autographed photos? Don't fans like those? I can even get a personalized autograph."

Fang Li was about to reply with an autographed photo but then realized she didn't need it anymore. She had only typed half of her message when she suddenly saw what she had said above, so she quickly deleted it.

How could a fan possibly refuse an autograph from their idol!

She replied again: "Okay, then I'll trouble you. Please ask for my friend while you're at it. She's just a little curious and she definitely won't go around telling everyone."

Yang Miao stroked his chin, looking at the message that had been flashing for a while before he finally replied, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

Auntie, your ability to fabricate stories out of thin air is rather immature.

Is it because they were afraid that if they asked Ms. Han's uncle directly, he would find out, so they went through all this trouble to ask her?

She replied with a smile, "Of course I trust my aunt's friend. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll call my mom's assistant in a bit."

Yang Miao acted quickly. Fang Li had just finished tidying up and sat down in the dining room to eat breakfast when her message came.

"Jingsen has indeed been getting very close to a female artist recently, but he hasn't reported it to the company yet, so she's probably not his girlfriend."

After Fang Li arrived at the studio, she immediately told Zhou Yufan the news.

Zhou Yufan sat behind his desk, his expression unchanged.

Fang Li: "What are you planning to do next?"

"......have no idea."

Fang Li stood up, pulled out a chair in front of his desk and sat down. "Is Jing Sen's new movie about to wrap up filming? He should be returning to Beijing soon. Why don't we arrange a time to get together when he comes back?"

Zhou Yufan curled his lip, "What, are you going to play matchmaker for us right in front of us?"

Fang Li raised an eyebrow: "I'd be willing to play matchmaker, but only if you, senior, dare to do it?"

Zhou Yufan glanced at her and shook his head. "You're right, I wouldn't dare."

He took a deep breath and said, "If he finds out what I'm thinking, I'm afraid we won't even be able to be friends anymore."

"Then what can you do? Are you just going to keep watching from afar, unable to let go of the feelings but afraid to get closer, just torturing yourself like this?"

Zhou Yufan remained silent.

The office became quiet.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Ji Tiantian pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Xu, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, someone has come to visit."

Fang Li looked over, "Who?"

"The other party said they were from Xingyu Media and wanted to meet with Liyun's boss to discuss something."

“Xingyu Media…Senior, have you heard of this company?” Fang Li turned to look at Zhou Yufan.

Zhou Yufan rested his hands on his chin, thinking for a moment, "Never heard of it. It must be a new company, or it doesn't have much of a presence in the industry."

"Should we meet?"

"Yes, guests are welcome, why shouldn't we see them?"

Zhou Yufan stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and walked out. He stopped at the door and turned back to Fang Li, saying, "You don't need to show yourself yet. Let me hear what it's about first."

"it is good."

Zhou Yufan led his people to the reception room to talk, and Fang Li then went into the adjacent tea room.

There is a perforated partition between the tea room and the reception room, which is used to display some handicrafts and tea canisters. It can barely block the view, but it cannot block the sound.

Fang Li pretended to pour herself a cup of coffee and leaned back behind the partition to listen quietly.

Both sides introduced themselves. There were two people on the other end, who said they were the heads of Xingyu Media, one named Shi Hang and the other named Sun Jin. They then got straight to the point and stated their purpose.

"I heard from the platform that your studio bought the copyright to 'The Way of the Divine Emperor'. Would it be convenient for you to resell the copyright to us?"

The one speaking was the young man closest to Zhou Yufan; his name should be Shi Hang.

He was wearing black jeans and a gray hoodie, and his handsome face was framed by a pair of bright green glasses, making him look like a college student with a bit of personality.

"Resell?" Zhou Yufan looked at the two boys opposite him who looked to be no more than twenty-five years old and shook his head. "Sorry, we don't sell copyrights."

A hint of disappointment quickly flashed across their faces.

“But…” Zhou Yufan changed the subject, and a glimmer of hope immediately appeared on the faces of the two men.

"Would you two mind telling me what you intend to do with the rights to this book?"

Shi Hang glanced at Sun Jin beside him, then nervously clenched his hands on his knees and said, "To be honest, we've been following the book 'The Path of the Divine Emperor' since college. Back then, we were thinking about making it into a film. Now that we've graduated and finally started our own company, we planned to adapt this book into our first film and television IP. It's just that we didn't expect this copyright issue..."

Seeing that the two were honest, Zhou Yufan asked directly, "How much are you planning to pay to buy back the copyright to this book?"

Seeing that he had agreed, Sun Jin, who was next to Shi Hang, immediately said, "I heard that your company spent 300,000 to buy the copyright. We are willing to add another 100,000, so is 400,000 okay?"

"Four hundred thousand..."

"If you think it's too low, we can add another 50,000, making it 450,000. That's the highest price we can accept right now."

Young, passionate, and impatient.

These two individuals possess all the qualities that a recent college graduate typically has.

Always being so eager to reveal all your cards leads to being repeatedly pressured by others, and in the end, you may end up losing everything.

Fang Li looked at the two young faces through the partition, picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhou Yufan.

"Ask them how much start-up capital they have prepared for this project, and whether there is any progress on subsequent investments."

Upon receiving the message, Zhou Yufan opened his phone and glanced at it.

He quickly put down his phone and asked the two of them without making a sound.

Now, the two seemed to realize something, and they looked at each other without saying a word.
