The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 48 0048, I am more greedy
Magic City Conservatory of Music, reception room.

Hu Guoting's face was heavy. Last night, the president of Panda Chinese Network, his immediate superior, said on the phone that Haidiao Literature Network had already known the real identity of the cross-border superstar and had arranged for Shura to come over for negotiations.

"Bian Dong, not only did you poach ten excellent authors when you left, but now you're poaching a crossover superstar. We worked together for three years, do you really have no feelings for each other at all?"

Hu Guoting didn't think that it was Yunfeng who took the initiative to contact Haidiao Literature Network.

Because whether it was the first impression or after getting to know him in depth, Yunfeng gave him the feeling that he was mature and stable beyond his age, and he was not a person who only cared about money.

"Ah, Editor-in-Chief Hu, why are you here?" At this time, Yunfeng pushed the door and entered the reception room. He was slightly surprised to see that it was Hu Guoting, the editor-in-chief of Panda Chinese Network.

Hu Guoting collected his thoughts and smiled, "I have something I want to talk to you about. You didn't make an appointment with anyone at noon, right?"

"No." Yunfeng shook his head, wondering what could have happened that required Hu Guoting to come in person. He usually contacted him through Bee WeChat when there was something.

Hu Guoting put the cigarette in the ashtray and extinguished it, then said, "I have reserved a table at Yipinfang. We can talk while we eat. Don't worry, it won't delay your class."

When he heard the word "Yipinfang", Yunfeng's eyelids twitched, the last experience was still vivid in his mind.

But it wasn't Chen Cheng's intention last time. He was just too happy and drank too much.

When they arrived at Yipinfang, Hu Guoting had already ordered the dishes in advance, and the dishes began to be served not long after they arrived.

"I'm worried that they will be slow in serving the food and it will delay your class, so I've ordered first. You can see if there's anything else you want to eat and order more." Hu Guoting was very thoughtful.

There are not many dishes, but they are all big dishes, such as imperial shredded chicken with bird's nest, imperial drunken shrimp, exquisite braised pork, Beijing-style lobster, and original juice abalone.

Yunfeng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is enough to eat."

"Then let's eat and talk at the same time." Hu Guoting started to eat a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks, showing an expression of great enjoyment, and said: "The braised pork at Yipinfang is the best in the whole Magic City. When I was not busy before, I would come here at noon to order a portion. I miss it so much."

Yunfeng is not picky about food, but who doesn’t like to eat delicious food, right?

This superb braised pork from Yipinfang is worthy of the word "superb".

The first bite was of lean meat, with a sweet and barbecued aroma. Then I gently cut down with my teeth, and this layer of fat was fat but not greasy, and melted in my mouth...

The fat and meat are connected in distinct layers, which is really wonderful and leaves a lasting aftertaste.

Yunfeng is a person who speaks very little at the dinner table. He basically just passively responds to what others say and rarely takes the initiative to find topics to talk about.

Hu Guoting is just the opposite. Although he talks a lot, he is not nagging. He finds good entry points, and his approach and tone make people feel comfortable listening to him.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye." Hu Guoting said with emotion: "In the beginning, many people were not optimistic about Huaxia Panda Group's novel website. When we introduced policies to focus on supporting martial arts, fairy tales, and fantasy themes, it went against the market and was repeatedly criticized by industry insiders."

At this point, he looked at Yunfeng, became slightly excited, and said: "You and Nanyuan Limeng have proved that the path we are on is right. Chinese culture is the most brilliant and wonderful. Eastern martial arts, immortal heroes, and fantasy are no worse than Western magic."

Yunfeng agreed with the last two sentences and said, "Online novels are just getting started. As time goes by, more imaginative and exciting novels will appear. Our Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, and there are endless stories to be written."

This is not a prophecy, but a fact that is bound to happen.

Yunfeng was about 70% full. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Hu Guoting, and said, "Editor-in-Chief Hu, why don't we talk about business?"

He didn't think that Hu Guoting wanted to eat Yipinfang's food and invited him to join him.

Hu Guoting was startled by his "directness", then he smiled and said what he meant: "Bian Dong, the current deputy editor-in-chief of Haidiao Literature Network and the former editor-in-chief of the first editorial team of our Panda Chinese Network, has come to talk to you, right?"

"Yeah." Yunfeng was not surprised. If he hadn't come here for this matter, he would have come for the matter of "The Escort". He immediately said, "I talked to him for a while..."

Hu Guoting interrupted and said, "You don't have to tell me what you talked about."

Then he smiled and said frankly, "People go up, water flows down, this is an eternal truth. What we can give you now is not as much as what Haidiao Literature Network can give you. What I can strive for is only the priority to repurchase the copyright before you become a signed author of a great writer, and the right to participate in the decision-making of copyright sales."

On the issue of copyright, the company's top management did not make any further concessions. Unless you become a contracted author of Panda Chinese Network, the copyright will still belong to Panda Chinese Network.

Hu Guoting did not mention the signing recommendations given by the company's senior management.

Of course, if Yunfeng signed the contract, it would be good for Panda Chinese Network.

But didn't Haidiao Literature Network have this idea? Moreover, the conditions offered must have been excellent, so why did Bian Dong return empty-handed?
Hu Guoting analyzed that Yunfeng probably doesn't like signing contracts, because signing contracts usually starts at three years, and there are some requirements every year or every book. The higher the signing fee, the higher the requirements.

"I'm more greedy." Yunfeng raised his lips slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile. After a moment of silence, he said, "I want money, but I also want freedom."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hu Guoting's eyes.

His analysis was correct. Fortunately, he didn't mention it.

Perhaps because Yunfeng was used to being alone in his previous life and didn't like being bound by constraints, he was not very interested in this kind of contract with a time limit and conditions.

What people are greedy for are nothing more than money, power and love. These three things have been associated with them since the day they were born.

Even the three words are used as the standard to evaluate whether a person is successful or not.

Some extreme people even believe that life is nothing more than a struggle for these three words. Without these three words, life will be meaningless.

Yunfeng likes money because only with money can he feel safe.

However, after getting a second chance at life, I have gained more insights. Money is valuable, but freedom is more valuable. If it is for the sake of life, both can be thrown away.

Having said that, when he looks at Hu Guoting now, he always feels like he is looking at Chen Cheng. They both come with their sincerity just to keep him.

In the previous life on Earth, the copyright disputes between some online writers and novel websites were basically due to interests.

Now Panda Chinese Network has given the "right of priority to repurchase copyright" and the "right to participate in decision-making on copyright sales", which are already the best conditions besides returning the copyright.

Yunfeng enjoyed the meal very much. At least, the money was paid by Hu Guoting.

Hu Guoting enjoyed the meal very much. At least, Yunfeng stayed for the time being.

On the way back, Yunfeng looked at his cell phone.

Xia Dachuan sent a WeChat message saying that Xiao Tianpeng went to the infirmary, got some medicine and is now feeling much better.

There was also a WeChat message from Yunyun.

"Sister..."

Yunfeng clicked it and took a look.

"Brother, are you there?"

Ever since I last spoke on the phone with the mother of the original owner of this body, I have figured out some things and am no longer opposed to face-to-face contact with her family.

In my memory, my second sister, Yunyun, was a lively and cheerful girl.

Because "Yunfeng" is a good student, his younger brothers and sisters would basically go to him for help whenever they have any problems, and the relationship between the three siblings is pretty good.

Yunfeng replied: "I didn't see you because I was having dinner just now. What's the matter?"

A few minutes later, Yunyun sent a message: "(д) The teacher asked me to buy another set of review materials. I have already asked my mother for the autumn and winter school uniform fee and the class fee this month..."

So that’s what happened.

For a family with average income like this, raising three children is indeed difficult.

Yunfeng asked, "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

Yunyun: "Four hundred and fifty yuan."

Yunfeng thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll transfer one thousand to you. Use it sparingly. Remember, don't tell mom."

Yunyun: "Brother, you don't need so much. You work so hard as a part-time worker."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "My part-time job isn't that hard, don't worry, I'll give it to you, just take it."

Yunyun: "Thank you, brother. Don't be too tired. Pay more attention to rest. Love you (づ￣3￣)."

Yunfeng transferred one thousand yuan over.

It's not that he is stingy. He is a sophomore in high school, and a day student. He doesn't need much money, and giving too much would be bad.

At this time, Yun Yun, who was at home in Hangzhou, rolled happily on the bed and thought to herself: It’s so good to have a brother.
