"I'm finally back."

Today was pretty good. In the karaoke room, Gao Songdeng finally seemed less nervous, and his final singing was much better than usual.

That time, on the overpass, although Gao Songdeng was able to sing a little, it wasn't as smooth as it is today.

It is estimated that from now on, she will be able to stand on stage and sing without relying on the 'precepts'.

"Now... speaking of which, the most important thing is tomorrow's contract."

Nan Yun Yuyue swiped her phone and looked again at the contract regarding the adaptation.

"This location..."

"Never mind, it's not too far. Let's just go there first thing tomorrow morning."

It has been revised and will be updated tomorrow as compensation.

The details of the protagonist's encounter with Uesugi Koshi in Chapter 86, as well as the protagonist's reaction, have been revised and supplemented with some additional content.

Dear readers, you can find it by simply refreshing the chapter list. It's just a bug fix and won't affect the subsequent plot. There's no extra charge.

I will update more tomorrow. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Chapter 90: Signing the Contract, Triangle Emergence, Intruders, Old Photos (7.5k)

the next day.

Early in the morning,

After washing up, Nan Yunyu made herself a breakfast and then went to the company specified in the contract.

Although this was the publishing house that signed the copyright for his novel, he had never actually been there before; all the contracts were signed via mail and electronic means.

"So this is the place."

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at the building in front of her.

The building has about thirty floors and belongs entirely to an entertainment group.

It covers a very wide range of businesses, and light novels are just a very small category within it.

Besides film and television adaptations, celebrity signings, business agency deals, and traffic generation are the main sources of the company's revenue.

This was Nan Yun Yuyue's first time visiting this place. He looked around at the entrance for a while before walking through the gate.

"The nineteenth floor..."

Nan Yun Yuyue pressed the button on the elevator and waited for it to go up.

Ding-dong-

The elevator door slowly opened.

Reaching the nineteenth floor, in front of the office specified in the contract, he knocked on the door and then pushed it open.

"Hello."

A young man was sitting in front of me.

He looked to be in his early twenties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looked like a recent college graduate.

now,

Inuyamada was somewhat surprised to see Nangumo Ugetsu in front of him.

"Is this the person the head of the family said he wanted to take care of?"

He looked left and right, but couldn't see who the boy in front of him looked like. He felt that apart from being handsome, the boy didn't have any other distinguishing features.

Inuyamada is twenty-six years old this year.

A direct descendant of the Inuyama family, with C+ bloodline.

Because his bloodline rank was not high, apart from receiving some necessary teaching and training from the Snake Clan, he did not deeply participate in the disputes between mixed-blood societies.

However, despite his lack of martial prowess, he was indeed exceptionally talented in academics.

Through his own efforts, Inuyamada eventually gained admission to the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Tokyo. After graduating, he returned to his family to take a position overseeing the family's business related to film and television adaptations.

Within a family, there must be high-level martial arts to maintain the family's prestige.

But naturally, we also need professionals like Inuyamada so that the whole family can continue to prosper.

As Inuyama looked at Nagumo Ugetsu, Nagumo Ugetsu was also looking at him.

He had never seen this figure before, and the aura emanating from him was rather weak, indicating that his bloodline rank was not high.

"Is this... a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Family?"

He speculated in his mind.

Afterwards, Nan Yun Yuyue sat down in the office chair.

"Hello, I am Inuyamada."

Inuyama pushed up his glasses and then smiled.

"It's a pleasure to meet such a talented light novelist as you today. You are so young, yet you have achieved so much in this field. Your future is undoubtedly bright."

He started by praising her.

This was a technique he learned from his girlfriend, who studied psychology.

Before negotiations, casually compliment small details, such as "Your signature is really nice" or "Your hairstyle is great." This can effectively lower the other party's guard.

However, since the head of the household had personally said that he would take good care of his work, and since Nangumo Ugetsu didn't seem to be that old, Inuyamada's own guard was lowered considerably.

After giving a round of encouragement, he took out a printed contract from a folder on his desk.

"Let's get down to business, Mr. Nagumo."

Inuyama looked up at the boy in front of him, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Since joining the company, almost everyone he has dealt with has been older than him, and some veteran actors are even a generation older than him.

As a newcomer to the Inuyama family's business, he had to work twice as hard to learn how to conduct himself in this way. Although he didn't have to be subservient because of his bloodline, he naturally knew a lot about workplace etiquette.

But... this boy in front of him looks about the same age as his younger brother, maybe a few years older at most. How should he be addressed?

In an instant, all the words of address flashed through his mind, but in the end, he still had to follow his usual habit and address Nan Yunyu Yue as "sir".

"This is the adaptation contract for your work. The specific terms were sent to you via email yesterday. You can take another look at the details above."

"Oh, by the way, we've made some slight modifications to the revenue sharing for the adaptation."

"Don't worry, it's just that your share of the profits has been further increased."

Inuyama smiled.

"This is a contract I specifically requested from higher-ups. The revenue sharing ratio is 15% higher than the previous contract. The company values ​​your work and naturally won't let talented creators suffer."

"Please take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, you can sign it here."

He handed the contract to Nan Yunyuyue, along with a pen.

Nan Yun Yuyue looked down and saw that the terms and conditions were densely packed, but at a glance, the content was no different from yesterday's.

He paid special attention to several details that could not be wrong, glanced at the profit-sharing ratio, and finally signed his name at the back.

——Nanyun Yuyue.

"OK, Mr. Nagumo, authorization successful."

Inuyama stood up and shook hands with Nagumo Ugetsu.

"It's a pleasure working with you. A dedicated person from the company will be in charge of the specific communication matters and will contact you by phone at that time."

"I have something to take care of first, I'm sorry I can't see you off."

"it's okay no problem."

Nan Yun Yuyue waved her hand.

He pushed open the office door and returned to the corridor.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly..."

He glanced at the contract just now, and there were no flaws in it. In fact, the profit-sharing ratio was even higher than yesterday's.

"I never thought I'd be able to sign a contract of this caliber... Contracts of this caliber are usually only for top-tier players."

"I wonder why this light novel is receiving so much attention. Could it be that someone has taken notice of it...?"

I haven't had any contact with any other members of the Snake-Headed Eight Families recently, except for Uesugi Echizen. Moreover, Master Echizen left the Snake-Headed Eight Families many years ago.

As Nan Yun Yuyue walked towards the elevator, she pondered these thoughts.

The elevator was descending from the upper floors to the lower floors, but for some reason it got stuck on the twenty-third floor and didn't move for a long time.

"what happened."

He pressed the button again.

The button remained completely still.

It was previously lit up in red, but now it has suddenly dimmed.

at the same time,

boom!

boom! boom! boom!

Gunshots suddenly rang out from nearby.

Subsequently,

The lights inside the entire building suddenly went out, as if the power had been cut off, and all electrical equipment went on strike, including the surveillance cameras on each floor.

"I wipe!"

Nan Yun Yu Yue was startled.

Judging from the direction of the sound, it seems to be coming from upstairs?

what happened?

Without hesitation, he activated the 'Discipline' directly, and his domain spread out like a tide, while he kept a close eye on the movements above.

In the 'Discipline's' perception, a figure dressed in black, with its face covered, was rushing up the stairs.

He was incredibly fast, carrying a pistol, and when he reached the twenty-first floor, he started kicking the fire escape door marked with a sign.

now,

The interior of the entire building is in two states.

The employees on the ground floor had no idea what was happening. The sound of gunfire couldn't reach the lowest point; they simply assumed there had been an unexpected power outage in the company.

The ordinary employees on the nearby floors heard the gunshots and then the lights went out abruptly; now they were filled with terror.

"what happened!"

Fortunately, it was Saturday, and there weren't many people in the office. Most people were still at home enjoying their weekend holiday, and only a very small number of employees were working overtime.

Otherwise, a crisis of this magnitude occurring in an office building would be a major disaster, with the stampede alone causing serious problems.

However, all the employees in this building, even the ordinary ones, have received training on the relevant procedures.

Since the gunman's location is still unknown, most of them are hiding in their offices, locking them up and using tables to build cover.

And the other part...

Inuyamada's eyes were cold.

The moment the gunshot rang out, he immediately pulled a pistol from the drawer, ready to prevent anyone from rushing in from the outside.

However, the gunshots faded into the distance, and the intruders did not rush in that direction; they simply disappeared somewhere else.

"What the hell is he going to do?"

Inuyama was anxious.

He initially thought the intruders were looking for him, since as a member of the Inuyama family, although not a high-ranking member, he was one of the youngest mid-level managers.
