“Su Yu, Jiang Xue, I have good news for you! 'Plain Face' has been selected by the client! And, Director Yi Bai even gave you an extra million, Su Yu! He said he wanted to be friends with you and hoped to collaborate again next time.”
Li Dayue's excited voice, like a booming bell, resonated throughout the entire composition department.
The voice was so loud that almost every lyricist at their workstation heard it clearly.
Well, they had to admit, there was indeed a tiny bit of envy for Su Yu in their hearts.
After all, such good fortune wasn't something they encountered every day.
However, they also secretly rejoiced that such a big order had been secured by their Tianxing Entertainment.
Otherwise, if it had been taken by another company, they would have had to endure the Chief Editor Li Dayue's wrath and roaring.
The thought alone sent shivers down their spines.
“Alright then, such a generous friend, I welcome him with open arms!” Su Yu smiled, calmly taking Director Yi Bai's phone number that Li Dayue handed him.
His smile was filled with confidence and composure, as if everything was under his control.
“Keep it up! The custom song payment will be directly deposited into your salary card on the third of next month, don't worry.” Li Dayue encouraged Su Yu, then left with a beaming smile.
His steps were light, as if his heart was filled with joy and anticipation.
In the afternoon, Su Yu accompanied Han Jiangxue for a few more practice sessions of the song 'torment'.
During the practice, Han Jiangxue was completely focused, as if she had forgotten everything around her.
Her eyes were filled with concentration and earnestness, and every note was performed to perfection.
This made Su Yu feel that Han Jiangxue's vocal ability seemed to have improved even further.
Of course, after the practice, Su Yu didn't forget to send the complete version of 'amorous swordsman ruthless sword' to Han Jiangxue.
He knew that Han Jiangxue was full of anticipation for this novel, and he didn't want to disappoint her.
After returning to his dorm, Su Yu immediately contacted Chief Editor Wu Yue, naturally to discuss selling the novel's copyright to Tianxing Entertainment.
On the phone, Su Yu and Wu Yue discussed the price of the copyright and various details in depth.
They both hoped to find a solution that satisfied both parties, allowing the novel's copyright to be smoothly sold to Tianxing Entertainment.
Just as Su Yu and Wu Yue were discussing an appropriate price for the copyright, Han Jianhua noticed a strange scene at the dinner table.
That was, after dinner today, both his daughter Han Jiangxue and his wife Jiang Yu were looking down at their phones!
What on earth could be so captivating that they weren't willing to spare him a glance?
Old Han felt a hint of jealousy at this moment.
He felt that his status in the family was being challenged, and he was being outshined by a mobile phone.
“Jiang Xue, what are you looking at?” Han Jianhua leaned closer and asked, his voice filled with curiosity and doubt.
“'amorous swordsman ruthless sword'!” Han Jiangxue replied without lifting her head.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet without any distraction.
She was completely immersed in the world of the novel, as if she had forgotten everything around her.
Han Jianhua was a bit confused; did Su Yu add more chapters today? But why didn't his App notify him?
His heart was full of questions, but he didn't know how to answer them.
“My daughter is amazing. Knowing I like this novel, she asked Su Yu for the complete version.” Jiang Yu had been waiting for Han Jianhua to ask, and at this moment, she spoke proudly.
Her voice was filled with pride and triumph, as if her daughter had done something incredible.
“Complete version! Su Yu's novel is finished? You have such a good thing, and you didn't send it to me! Really...” Han Jianhua was first stunned, then couldn't help but feel both ecstatic and resentful.
His mood was like a rollercoaster, from confusion to surprise, then to resentment, the speed of change was astonishing.
And just as Han Jianhua was raging helplessly, he received the novel file sent by Jiang Yu on his phone.
“Don't spread it around. Su Yu trusted Jiang Xue to give her the full manuscript in advance. If it gets out, how will you let Jiang Xue face Su Yu?” Jiang Yu admonished Han Jianhua irritably.
Her eyes were filled with seriousness and earnestness, as if this matter was extremely important.
He was no longer young, but his love for showing off hadn't changed. Jiang Yu was truly worried that Han Jianhua might not be able to resist showing off.
“I know, am I that kind of person?” After Han Jianhua replied perfunctorily, he eagerly started reading.
His eyes were filled with anticipation and longing, as if this novel was a treasure in his heart.
That night, the three members of the Han family actually finished reading the entire ending in one sitting.
They were completely immersed in the world of the novel, forgetting the passage of time.
When they finished the last chapter, for some reason, the three of them felt a little empty inside.
Although the novel's ending could be considered a happy one, they always felt that something was missing.
It was as if something was stuck in their throats, making them uncomfortable.
In the morning, before leaving, Han Jianhua looked at Han Jiangxue, who also came out, and asked, “Did Su Yu agree to sell the copyright to our Tianxing Entertainment?” His voice was filled with anticipation and concern.
“He is very satisfied with the company's terms. As long as the copyright price is appropriate, he will sell it to us,” Han Jiangxue replied.
Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was confident about this matter.
However, Han Jiangxue didn't seem to be in high spirits today, and there were noticeable dark circles under her beautiful eyes.
This was Su Yu's first reaction after seeing Han Jiangxue today.
“Senior, what's wrong? Did you encounter something bothersome?” After completing today's practice, Su Yu asked.
His voice was filled with concern and worry, as if Han Jiangxue's troubles were his own.
“Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong lived in seclusion together. I don't really like this ending. Since Lin Shiyin was always in his heart, why would he accept someone else? This shows that he didn't love enough.”
Han Jiangxue was clearly too deeply engrossed in the novel's plot, otherwise she wouldn't have let the plot affect her reality.
Her voice was filled with confusion and dissatisfaction, as if she was questioning this ending.
Su Yu was helpless; he hadn't expected Han Jiangxue's reason for being unhappy to be this.
He felt that Han Jiangxue was sometimes very cute, to be unhappy because of a novel's ending.
“I just didn't want Li Xunhuan to end up all alone in the end; that would have made him truly too lonely, too pitiful. That's why I arranged for Li Xunhuan to accept Sun Xiaohong. I feel this is a fulfillment for both Su Xiaohong and Li Xunhuan himself,” Su Yu answered seriously.
His voice was filled with sincerity and understanding, as if he could feel Han Jiangxue's emotions.
Before Han Jiangxue could speak, Su Yu's explanation came again: “Li Xunhuan's first half of his life already failed Lin Shiyin. In his latter half, I didn't want him to fail the brave and passionate Su Xiaohong again.”
His voice was filled with deep emotion and sentiment, as if he felt great sympathy and understanding for the character of Li Xunhuan.
