Black Cat Mansion: Book of Paranormal Events

Chapter 531 Nerd

Dongzhu pulled Yan Xiaoai into the room again, Chen Lu had already changed into a clown outfit, without the thick oil paint, Chen Lu's skin was a little pale, and his figure was a little puffy, which seemed to be a very typical Otaku image.

Standing there, Chen Lu felt a little cramped, as if he was not used to showing his true colors to others. He grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and looked at him randomly. When he heard the sound of two people coming in, he subconsciously took a few steps back. It was Yan Xiaoai who relaxed a little, and seeing Dongzhu tense up again, her nervous ears turned red.

Looking at Chen Lu's appearance, Yan Xiaoai became angry for no reason. What kind of way is this guy? He is so fierce in the skin of a clown, and he looks so cowardly when he takes it off.

"You guys are quite interesting, what's your name?"

Dongzhu couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Lu's appearance. He heard that he was a college bully, but he really looked like a nerd. It's so funny to be so cute.

Dong Zhu looked a little foolish, and Chen Lu immediately became alert again. He took a step back and instinctively made a movement of pushing his glasses, only to realize that he was not wearing glasses at all after he finished.

"My name is Chen Lu, Er Dong Chen, Ma Lu's Lu."

"You are so good at writing, even if you don't write books, you can still find a decent clerical job. How can you be a clown?"

Dongzhu nodded and pretended to be chatting with him, without mentioning the contract.

Chen Lu was still a little wary, but he still spoke up.

After graduation, Chen Lu joined the editorial department as an editor. At that time, he had just finished writing "Mask". Because he happened to be working in the editorial department, he showed the manuscript to his boss at the time, Mr. Wang. After reading it, Mr. Wang felt that what he wrote Very good, but also very euphemistically said that Chen Lu is not well-known, even if it is published, he may not have very good results, and asked him if he would like to put the novel under the name of other writers. At that time, Chen Lu was full of high spirits just after graduation Time is naturally unwilling.

After Chen Lu refused, Mr. Wang didn't mention the matter of being named under someone else's name. He only said that the results might not be too good if he published it. After all, he was just a newcomer. Chen Lu naturally knew that he didn't really care about being famous in one fell swoop. It’s just that if he has the opportunity to publish it, it’s one of his wishes, so when President Wang took out a contract, he signed it without looking at it carefully. A lot of money, tens of thousands after paying taxes, which is already a lot of money for a poor student.

Chen Lu's mother was not in good health, so the money was used to treat his mother.

After a period of time, when Chen Lu saw the publicity about "Mask", he realized that the author's name was not his. He went to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang threw the contract over, which clearly stated that Chen Lu would All copyrights of "The Mask" are assigned to the company, including authorship rights.

Looking at the content of the document, Chen Luru was struck by lightning, Mr. Wang smiled and pointed to the breach of contract clause, which clearly stated three times the liquidated damages.

"If you bring three times the liquidated damages, the manuscript will be returned to you."

Chen Lu had no money at all, let alone three times, he didn't even pay back the capital.

Chen Lu was stunned after leaving the company, but he had no choice but to admit it.

But later, "Mask" became popular and various copyrights were sold out. Chen Lu's heart would inevitably be unbalanced, so he went to make a big fuss, and one can imagine the ending.
