Just then, the doorbell rang, and Nanako Ohara arrived.
After a brief greeting, the three of them went out together and headed towards the shop that Nanako Ohara had mentioned.
The shop she was referring to was next to the sushi restaurant where her best friend, Shinobu Kanda, worked.
Compared to places like Aiya Street, which are full of Chinese restaurants, it seems much more ordinary.
Moreover, the location isn't very good, and the area isn't large.
After a brief look, Dongpangxiong shook his head and rejected the idea.
During this period, he had visited quite a few places and gained a certain understanding of the market.
Even if the location is poor, he is confident that he can achieve success with his skills.
The main problem is that the rent here is not cheap, and when you factor in the cost of renovations, he simply doesn't have enough money.
Returning to the house with regret, Dongpang Xiong earnestly thanked Ohara Nanako.
Although as a Chinese person, Dongpangxiong naturally harbors some aversion towards Japan, he is very discerning about who has helped him and who is kind to him, and he doesn't resort to regional prejudices right away.
Although the shop matter wasn't settled today, Dongpangxiong is still going to cook a nice dinner to thank Ohara Nanako.
While Dongpangxiong was busy in the kitchen, Ohara Nanako sat on the sofa and looked at Lin Yu.
"Ayu, I went to the publishing house today and discussed it with the editor-in-chief. We're going to change your contract."
"contract?"
"Is there a problem? Why so suddenly?"
Lin Yu, who had never heard Nanako Ohara mention this matter, was somewhat puzzled.
"As an excellent editor, one of my responsibilities is to ensure that authors can focus on their creative work without distractions."
Nanako Ohara said with a smile, then took out a file folder from her bag and took out a contract.
"This adjustment mainly concerns the issue of royalties and author fees."
Lin Yu got really excited when this was mentioned.
A fiscal deficit is a problem that no one wants to face, especially when there is such a huge potential stock waiting for investment.
It would be even better if income could increase.
"Look at it."
Nanako Ohara handed over the contract and explained, "The payment for the manuscript has increased from 6000 yen per page to 8000 yen per page, and the royalties have increased from 8% to 9%."
"Although the improvement is not significant, it is already the highest it has reached at this stage."
"If we want to go any further, we should at least publish one more standalone volume first."
Seeing Lin Yu intently flipping through the contract, Ohara Nanako hesitated for a moment, then took out another bank card from her small bag.
"That's all the help I can offer as the editor."
"but..."
"As a friend, I also want to be able to help in some way."
As she spoke, Nanako Ohara pushed the bank card in her hand in front of Lin Yu.
Hearing Nanako Ohara's words, Lin Yu, who had just snapped out of his daze after hearing the news of the increased royalties, looked at the bank card in front of him with a strange expression.
"Nanako, what's wrong with you...?"
"It's not much, but it's a small token of my appreciation."
Update notification for tomorrow night
The author's wisdom tooth is inflamed, so tomorrow's update may be a little late, possibly in the afternoon or evening.
Chapter 122 Angel Investors
Looking into Nanako Ohara's sincere eyes, Lin Yu immediately realized why the contract had suddenly been amended to improve her benefits today.
It seems that Nanako Ohara took what I mentioned yesterday to heart and is doing her best to help me find a solution.
Not only did she proactively suggest increasing her payment to the editor-in-chief, but she also offered to use her own savings to help her.
Seeing the girl's serious expression, Lin Yu's eyes softened.
"Nana, you really don't need to be like this..."
Indeed, there's no need for that; for him, the lack of money is only temporary.
It's just a matter of writing two novels; once the manuscripts are submitted, this problem will be solved.
"There's no such thing as necessary or unnecessary. I'd be happy if it could help you, Ayu."
Ohara Nanako smiled, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons.
"And I know this is nothing to you, Ayu, isn't it?"
"So, don't worry about anything. Just focus on your creation and don't worry about anything else."
After saying that, Nanako Ohara took Lin Yu's hand and slapped a note into his palm.
"Okay, that's all for now. I have to go."
After doing all this, Ohara Nanako didn't wait for Lin Yu to refuse or say anything. She waved to him and ran briskly towards the entrance.
"no..."
As soon as Lin Yu got up, Ohara Nanako disappeared without a trace. There was a sound of a door closing, indicating that she had run away.
"This young lady is really good. She's much better than my wife. She doesn't look like the kind of person who would go to the Shu Road Mountains at the drop of a hat."
Dongpangxiong suddenly appeared, leaning against the door frame, and said to Lin Yu with a face full of emotion.
Lin Yu looked down at the note in his hand.
The password is 123456, you're welcome! (*^▽^*)
The small bank card felt surprisingly heavy in Lin Yu's hand.
He didn't expect that Nanako Ohara would take such a casual remark so seriously, even tossing him her bank card.
"Does this mean I'm being kept by a sugar daddy?"
Dongpangxiong laughed and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.
"If you're not going to pay back the money, then that's what being kept as a sugar daddy/sugar baby is all about."
"What do you think, bro? I think that girl is pretty good. Being kept by someone isn't anything shameful."
"Hehe, if that's really the case, then you shouldn't open a restaurant, brother. I do have some connections in this area, why don't you give it a try?"
"No thanks, no thanks, I can't do that. Otherwise, my Tyrannosaurus Rex at home will be in big trouble when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Dongpangxiong quickly waved his hand.
"Besides, I came out here to give my family a better life, how could I do such a thing?"
Lin Yu curled his lips. The fact that such a villain actually had incredibly upright values was always a stark contrast, no matter how many times you watched it.
Although there were many works in my previous life, they were all like this.
Villains are proactive, idealistic, serious, hardworking, and diligent, so they have more to consider.
The protagonist only needs to shout about some kind of bond.
"Alright, let's go, let's go out."
"go out?"
"Where are you going? Didn't you just get back?"
Dongpangxiong said, somewhat puzzled.
"Let's go to Tokyo!"
Lin Yu tossed a helmet to Dongpangxiong, then grabbed the guy and rode the motorcycle towards Tokyo.
When we didn't have money, we could let it go, but now that we do have money, we should hurry up and get things done.
The two arrived in Tokyo in the evening.
How much money do you have on you?
"three million."
Walking down the streets of Tokyo, Dongpangxiong instinctively answered Lin Yu's question.
Three million...
Arriving at an ATM, Lin Yu inserted his bank card.
"Ding!"
With a soft click, a series of numbers appeared on the screen in front of Lin Yu as he made his query.
20000000!
