At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

"Zhenzhen's friends are my friends. If you need any help, just tell me."

David ate a mouthful of dog food and felt that the air in the room was poisonous. He wanted to stand up and leave, but he finally held back.

"You really can't help me with this matter."

Qin Fan smiled, "Oh? Then I'd like to listen to it even more."

"Well, I did something that everyone would find ridiculous and unbecoming. I wrote an online novel, and it became an instant hit. Now, the website is trying to sign me..."

Which website is so generous that a book without a contract can become popular?

Aren’t you worried that after David becomes famous, he will be poached by other websites with more generous contracts?

I have previously complained that the drama You Feng did not have a deep understanding of the industry of online writers, and the character Zhou Qingtian he portrayed did not seem realistic enough.

But no matter how unreliable they are, at least we know about them.

The drama Ode to Joy 3 is even more outrageous, it is completely made up with eyes open.

The website is not a money-giving platform, and will not recommend resources for novels that are not signed.

Even if David's book is particularly awesome and super eye-catching, as long as readers see it, they will basically be immersed in it. Let's give him 100% follow-up reading, and there are many people urging him to update and giving him rewards, but it still won't become popular.

Because the number of readers who see his works every day cannot exceed a hundred. If he is given a month, at most three thousand people will have read it. With such a small number of people, how can he become so popular?

Qin Fan deeply suspected that this guy was faking the data, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why a book without a contract became so popular.

David didn't notice the suspicion in Qin Fan's eyes and continued, "Zhenzhen, you know my job. If the news of me writing online articles gets out, it will affect my future. That's why I came to you for help. Please sign a contract with them using your name on my behalf."

Ye Zhenzhen was very surprised. "What on earth are you writing about? You're afraid of exposing your identity. Could it be pornographic?"

David raised his arm and said, "With my looks and figure, I can find any girlfriend I want. Why would I bother to imagine it in novels?"

"Then why did you ask me to sign the contract on your behalf?"

Why else? He wanted to have some connection with Ye Zhenzhen to facilitate his next move.

David's routine was too simple. Not to mention Qin Fan, even Ye Zhenzhen could vaguely sense its use.

Only David himself couldn't feel it, and he thought he was hiding it well.

"Okay, I admit it. I can't bring myself to say I'm just a homebody writing code, so I'm asking for your help."

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head decisively, "The reason is not sufficient."

"Isn't that a sufficient reason? Then what reason do you want?"

Qin Fan said, "How about this, I can help you contact a relevant company, and you can entrust your novel to them for operation. If you are worried about your identity being exposed, you can sign a confidentiality agreement with them."

.......

727: Love rival defeated! Show affection!

Ye Zhenzhen immediately agreed, "That's a good idea. Having a professional team to help you run the business will help expand your novel's fame. They can also help you negotiate with the website and get a good price. Once your novel becomes a hit, other derivative copyrights can be developed to the maximum extent possible."

David looked constipated. He had thought of this method a long time ago. If it wasn't for finding an excuse to get close to Ye Zhenzhen, he might have signed the contract by now.

He looked embarrassed. "But, I have an appointment with the website editor to discuss the contract this afternoon. Is it too late to find a company like that now?"

"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call."

Qin Fan stood up and walked to the balcony and called his secretary Shen Bing.

"Help me find a company that's capable of operating a novel IP, preferably one with some strength."

"Boss, who wrote the novel?"

"A friend, please hurry up and call me back as soon as you find out."

Shen Bing smiled. "Boss, are you too busy to care about anything? Since its establishment, Xingmang Films has been spending a lot of money on acquiring high-quality IPs, spending over 100 million yuan. If your friend's novel has the potential to be a hit, he can definitely sign it to our company and be directly adapted into anime and TV series in the future."

Qin Fan slapped his forehead. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about this. Contact them now and have them send someone to Unit 1, Room 2203, Building 8, Ode to Joy Community. I'll be waiting here."

"Ok."

Qin Fan hung up the phone, walked back to the living room, and said to David with a smile, "I just called my secretary, and she reminded me that I have a film and television company under my management, and I have been acquiring high-quality IP. If you are willing, I can have someone come over to do an evaluation of your novel."

David was so shocked that he couldn't wrap his head around it. "You have a film and television company?"

Ye Zhenzhen helped introduce, "I guess you haven't heard of Xingmang Pictures, but you must have heard of Misia. It is currently the largest luxury goods group in China, and Xingmang Pictures is their subsidiary."

When David heard that Qin Fan was actually the boss of Misia, his confidence instantly plummeted and his face turned gloomy.

How can I compete with such a billionaire?

"Most of the rights the company acquires are film and television adaptation rights. If your work is truly good, I can make an exception for Zhenzhen's sake and let the company manage the entire copyright for you. All you have to do is write the novel, and don't worry about anything else. Just sit back and wait and count your money."

The promise Qin Fan made was not to be underestimated. With his company helping to operate David's Ocean Adventure, the impact it would have would be much greater than simply serializing it on a certain novel website.

Moreover, David will be able to gain more benefits if Star Pictures represents him in the negotiations.

After all, individuals are often in a weak position when facing websites, and it is common to suffer losses in negotiations.

Rumor has it that a few years ago an author's novel generated more than 10 million yuan in revenue, but the author himself only received 8,000 yuan in royalties per month.

It's just a rumor, I don't know whether it's true or not.

It has to be said that some novel platforms exist entirely by exploiting authors. Information is not transparent, and they find all sorts of excuses to deduct royalties. Once you sign a contract with such a website, you can only swallow your anger.

It’s different when the company comes forward. If the negotiations with one company fail, you can find the next one. The chance of being cheated in negotiations between companies is much smaller, and the benefits obtained will naturally be greater.

Not long after, Starlight Pictures sent a deputy manager from the film review department and an employee from the legal department. After greeting Qin Fan, they began to evaluate David's Ocean Journey.

David rejected the people from Xingmang Films in his heart. He just wanted to use the novel as an excuse to get close to Ye Zhenzhen. He never thought about operating the full copyright...

But there was no other way. Since he was here and Qin Fan had generously made a promise, if he didn't appreciate it, he would lose face for Qin Fan, and Ye Zhenzhen would also think that he was ungrateful.

David felt very uncomfortable. He could only patiently communicate with the people in the film review department to discuss the possibility of the novel being adapted into a film or TV series, as well as the subsequent direction of the novel, while also having to endure Qin Fan and Ye Zhenzhen showing off their love from time to time.

He didn't want to stay in this damn place for even a minute.

After the discussion, the people from the Legal Department drafted a contract on the spot, and both parties signed a letter of intent. They would prepare the contract after returning and then formally sign it.

"Boss Qin, thank you so much, you have helped me a lot."

David suppressed his discomfort and thanked Qin Fan.

"You're Zhenzhen's friend, so I'll definitely do my part to help. For Zhenzhen's sake, I'll have the company prepare a comprehensive promotional plan. I believe your 'Fan Hai Ji' will soon become a viral hit online, and you'll become a best-selling author. So, are you really not going to use your real name?"

Ye Zhenzhen raised her chin slightly and smiled like a flower. She felt proud that Qin Fan gave her such face.

David felt even more uncomfortable. He was too grateful for Qin Fan's help. How could he be Qin Fan's love rival in the future?

"Forget about my real name. I don't want my identity to be exposed."

"Okay then. I'll have the legal department make a confidentiality agreement."

David then said goodbye and left.

Qin Fan sent his two subordinates away and turned around to complain to Ye Zhenzhen.

"Doesn't your friend understand social interactions? I've helped him so much, but he didn't even offer to treat me to a meal. Even though I don't need a meal, he needs to have this attitude."

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, "I don't believe you can't see that he was so devastated by you that he didn't know how to face us, so he fled in panic."

Ye Zhenzhen frowned as she spoke. "If that's the case, David might really be interested in me. If he contacts me next time, I should try to be polite."

"It's good that you have this sense of propriety."

Qin Fan could see that David was a person of relatively high quality. Since he had helped him this time, he would not come to harass Ye Zhenzhen for a long time.

This love rival was defeated from the moment they met and basically posed no threat to Qin Fan.

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly brought up another matter. "Qin Fan, I mentioned to you last time that I recently made a major breakthrough in my research project. Professor Tao was particularly supportive of my ideas and allocated a lot of resources to my team."

Qin Fan knew what she wanted to say and asked, "Some people have pink eye?"

"You guessed it right. That's it. Recently, some unfriendly rumors have been circulating in my workplace, accusing me of having an affair with Professor Tao."

"Last time, I drove the M8 my dad gave me to work, and Professor Tao saw me. He was quite curious about the car, so he got in the driver's seat to experience it. Then someone saw Professor Tao getting out of my car, and the rumors spread even more fiercely..."

Qin Fan frowned, "Why are there so many low-quality people in scientific research institutions?"

"There are dark minds everywhere. It has little to do with the nature of the job."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Just take me to work tomorrow and show some affection outside the office, and the rumors will be dispelled."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

.......

728: Fang Zhiheng surrenders! Crushed to pieces!

The next day, Qin Fan got up early and brought breakfast to the Ode to Joy community. While giving it to Ye Zhenzhen, he also did not forget to bring some for the three girls in Room 2202.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the stairs and was about to press the intercom button, Fang Zhiheng came out from inside. He saw Qin Fan appear outside through the glass door, and his hand that was about to open the door froze in mid-air.

"It's just right that I don't need to bother Zhenzhen anymore. Please open the door for me."

"Humph!"

Seeing the person she hated the most, Fang Zhiheng turned around and walked back without thinking. At this moment, Qin Fan's teasing voice came into her ears through the door.

"So you're so afraid of me? Afraid I'll drag you to the stairwell and force myself on you? Don't worry at all. I told you that sooner or later you'll submit to me. I can afford to wait, and I'll play with you slowly."

Fang Zhiheng stopped and anger flashed on her face. How could I be afraid of this bastard?

What a joke!

So he turned back angrily and opened the door.

"This is so good!"

Qin Fan walked in leisurely, and without waiting for Fang Zhiheng to leave, he grabbed her arm and dragged her roughly towards the stairwell.

"Ah! Bastard! What are you doing!"

Fang Zhiheng never expected that this bastard would be so untrustworthy. Suddenly, she was pulled by a huge force, her body was unstable, and she was dragged in staggeringly.

"Qin Fan, you promised not to touch me, you didn't keep your word!"

"Let me go! Or I'll call for help!"

Qin Fan pushed Fang Zhiheng against the wall roughly and looked at her flustered face with a smile.

"The last time I threatened you, there's still no result. Just think about it, it's been a few days. If I don't push you, you'll just play dead, right?"

You still think it's a threat! How shameless!

Fang Zhiheng turned his head to the side and said, "I told you, give me some time."

"How many days exactly? I'm a very patient person, but I don't like being teased. You'd better think it over before answering me."

Fang Zhiheng wanted to delay for a while longer. "You know, it's hard to get over this kind of thing. I've been hiding at home thinking about it for a long time these past few days, but I still can't make up my mind."

"It seems the threat wasn't strong enough. In that case, let that female accountant pay for your retreat. Carry the breakfast for me while I call my subordinates in the capital."

"do not want!"

Fang Zhiheng lost her composure in an instant, "Please, don't reveal her identity."

"I don't want to do this either, but you won't cooperate. I have to threaten you. Look, I asked you to bring breakfast and you took a long time. Do I have to say it again?"

“…Give it to me.”

Qin Fan bought breakfast for five people in total. When put together, it was quite heavy. Fang Zhiheng couldn't lift it with one hand, so she had to hold it with both hands.

Then her body stiffened, and Qin Fan freed his hands to begin measuring her figure.

"Look at it, it's so big and has such a good figure. It would be a waste not to give it to me. What do you think?"

What kind of bullshit logic?

Is it that the reason I am so beautiful and have such a good figure is just for you?

Fang Zhiheng turned her head away in anger.

Now she didn't even dare to glare at Qin Fan, for fear that this vengeful guy would remember her again and then take revenge on her friends.

"I'm asking you a question? Answer me." Qin Fan emphasized.

"Humph!"
