The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 188 Will not be separated
"Miss Gao is as beautiful as ever."

"You writers are just too imaginative, always thinking about this and that."

"Jiuyang, when can we go out and play together? There are so many fun things to do outside. Why do you have to stay indoors?"

Huo Siyan chattered a lot before leaving, and made no secret of her hostility towards Gao Yuanyuan. However, Gao Yuanyuan turned a blind eye to it. What was there for a reckless man to worry about? Fan Qiaoqiao had complained to her more than once that although Huo Siyan was obedient, she was raised to be a bit brainless.

But her mood was not so good afterwards. Wan Qian and Yin Tao came over one after another to chat with Xu Jiuyang, and even Qin Lan chased him out and said a few words to him, as if she was treated as air.

Six in total… Gao Yuanyuan counted silently in her mind. It seemed she needed to speed up her progress.

"Um...Sister Yuanyuan..." After coming outside, Xu Jiuyang called out a little embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, I told you I won't mind." Gao Yuanyuan said soothingly, then looked at him and smiled: "Forget it, I'll ask you for something so that you won't always feel uneasy."

"No..." Xu Jiuyang scratched his head, but breathed a sigh of relief.

"How about this," Gao Yuanyuan thought for a moment, "I just recently signed a girl who loves writing. She's from the Literature Department of the Central Academy of Drama. I want to develop her into an online novelist. What subject matter do you think would be suitable, Xiaoyang?"

After a pause, she added, "Let's limit it to Xianxia and romance."

"Xianxia and romance?" Xu Jiuyang was a little surprised at first, but soon felt relieved. "Well, it's more suitable for a female author. What's her name and what's her writing style like?"

"Guo Zhenni, from Erbin City. She originally wanted to study acting, but unexpectedly got into literature," Gao Yuanyuan introduced. "As for her style, it's hard to say. I've read a few of her short stories, and her emotional descriptions are quite delicate."

"Guo Zhenni?" Xu Jiuyang blinked, seeming a little confused.

"Anyway, she's not in China right now. She's helping me collect information in Korea," Gao Yuanyuan said, her eyes flickering. "I barely managed to get her some time off. You're not going to call her back, are you?"

"How could that be?" Xu Jiuyang quickly commented. "Xianxia romance themes are actually quite easy. We can just borrow from 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'. The hero suffers misfortunes since childhood, is then adopted and taught by a famous teacher, has a cold and aloof senior sister or a well-behaved junior sister by his side, and has a confidante from the Demon Sect outside. Isn't that the story?"

"You're oversimplifying this," Gao Yuanyuan feigned dissatisfaction. "It's basically a combination of Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji."

"Since it's a classic, it must have its merits." Xu Jiuyang smiled apologetically.

"In this case, I am not satisfied. I want to ask for a higher price." Gao Yuanyuan said immediately.

"Wow, Sister Yuanyuan actually has the habit of asking for a higher price." Xu Jiuyang exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Besides being an actor, you're also working as a screenwriter, right?" Gao Yuanyuan asked after rolling her eyes at him. After receiving his affirmative response, she added, "You can't give up novels either. Haven't you ever thought about writing something unexpected in science fiction?"

"Sister Yuanyuan means that she wants to sign the contract for my novel?" Xu Jiuyang guessed the key point immediately.

"Yes," Gao Yuanyuan didn't deny it. "We met through writing, so of course we should keep in touch through writing. If you don't write novels anymore, I'll be lonely."

It would be great to keep him in the entertainment industry as a star, but that was Fan Qiaoqiao's plan, and Gao Yuanyuan also had her own plans.

"I will definitely write it. Don't worry about it, Sister Yuanyuan. If you really acquire a novel website, I promise to write a popular novel to help you." Xu Jiuyang said, patting his chest.

"Really?" Gao Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows.

"Well... the quality should be okay. Whether it becomes a hit or not depends on practical factors." Xu Jiuyang smiled awkwardly, then quickly added, "Also, it might be a bit slow to write."

"It doesn't matter. The reason I'm planning to sign your author contract is to reasonably place people around you." Gao Yuanyuan said frankly.

"Assign...staff?" Xu Jiuyang's eyes widened. "Yes, as a contracted author for the company, it's reasonable to assign you two literary assistants, isn't it?" Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"This...this..." Xu Jiuyang opened his glasses wider, as if to say: You are actually like this, Sister Yuanyuan.

Then Gao Yuanyuan hit him: "What are you thinking? They are not close friends. They are also assistants to others. You should take care of yourself."

However, if they are attracted by his talent and offer themselves to him, that is another matter.

"Okay, okay," Xu Jiuyang quickly changed the subject, "Let's go."

There is no need to say much about what happened afterwards. The next day, when Gao Yuanyuan returned home, Li Xiaoran, who was waiting eagerly, went forward to check on her immediately.

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" she asked worriedly, with urgency in her eyes, but also a little shame.

"What will he do to me?" He pretended not to notice Gao Yuanyuan and asked back, then pinched her cheek, "You're not jealous, are you, Li Dabai?"

"Who's jealous?" Li Xiaoran said, a little embarrassed. "Which part of your body haven't I seen, touched, and eaten..."

She immediately reacted and hurriedly tried to excuse herself: "Yuanyuan, what I meant is..."

"Okay," Gao Yuanyuan took the opportunity to continue pinching her cheeks, "We agreed at the beginning that we wouldn't let this kind of thing affect our relationship."

"But..." Li Xiaoran was silent for a moment, "What if I feel guilty?"

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, making Li Dabai pout: "Yuanyuan!"

"No, no, let me explain, Ranran." Gao Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hands repeatedly, "It's like this..."

She told him about her plan to collaborate with Fan Qiaoqiao on "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

"Yuanyuan, are you going to be an actor too?" Li Xiaoran's focus was obviously on other things.

"I'm just having fun. As an author, I need to try different things to get inspiration for my writing." Gao Yuanyuan sighed. "Of course, there's another reason: I don't want to lose to Fan Qiaoqiao."

She looked at Li Dabai and said, "Even if it's not for myself, I have to at least vent my anger for you."

"It...it's not necessary to be like this..." Li Xiaoran said hesitantly, lowering his head and feeling a little embarrassed.

Gao Yuanyuan waited a moment, letting her emotions settle, before she coughed softly and pretended to change the subject: "You didn't even ask me why I laughed when I heard that."

"Why?" Li Xiaoran asked immediately.

"Because that sentence was said by Zhou Zhiruo," Gao Yuanyuan said this, and looked at Li Xiaoran seriously, "Ranran, why don't you play Zhou Zhiruo?"

"No, no," Li Xiaoran shook her head like a rattle. "Playing Mu Nianci with him is already difficult. If I play Zhou Zhiruo, then I will... then I will..."

She couldn't say it, but just stared blankly ahead with a complicated expression.

Gao Yuanyuan immediately embraced Li Xiaoran in her arms and let her rest her head on her shoulder: "Don't worry, Ranran, no matter what the situation is, we are one, we will not separate."
