A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

next day, monday
In the morning, after honestly attending four classes at school, in the afternoon, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun made an appointment to go to Xiatang Animation Production Company together.

"Is this the car you bought?"

Song Lingyun was used to seeing luxury cars since she was a child, so she wasn't so shocked by Xia Yan's new car, but after all, Xia Yan didn't take a taxi this time, but drove her to the company herself, so she also asked curiously .

"Well, how about it, he's handsome." Xia Yan looked excited.

After all, driving a cool sports car and galloping on the street belongs to the wish of a two-dimensional boy like him since he was a child.

The purpose is not to attract girls so vulgar by relying on cars, but simply to like them.

Just like boys in parallel worlds like Transformers and Altman.

"Well, it's okay." Song Lingyun's expression was calm.

"That's right, why are you interested in cars?" Xia Yan smiled after looking at Song Lingyun's expression.

"I'm only interested in novel creation now." Song Lingyun added.

"By the way, I heard that your new novel The Hidden Blade seems to be ending, right?" Xia Yan asked while driving.

"Well, it was just a novella, and I didn't plan to write a long novel."

"About grades." Xia Yan asked one more question.

"In the five issues that have been serialized in the past month, the ranking score in "Liu Li Se" is 12221," Song Lingyun said after a pause.

"Compared to your initial D and the achievements of Sword Art Online, my Hidden Blade is still far behind."

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Actually, your performance in this novel is already exaggerated." Xia Yan recalled the information on the authors and works of various works in the novel world that he saw in the document Bai Xuan gave him yesterday.

"For example, the work Maze of the Other World, you know. Its author, Xu Qing, who was the second-ranked novel in the "Liu Li" journal last week, became popular with this work when she was 26 years old. , she participated in the selection of new gods' novels, and she was only 20th. After signing a long-term contract with Liuli Book Club, the first novel written by Liu Li Book Club could not even be serialized on "Liuli Color", but was published in Liuli Book Club. Internally, it was serialized in a lower-level novel periodical, and the average sales volume of that work is only more than 34 million copies." Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"You participated in the selection of new gods' novels at the age of 17, and you have already achieved the top ten results. A novel written at the age of 19 can reach the top of "Liu Lise". The average sales volume is 300 million copies! Compared with Xu Qing, the top female light novel writer in Longguo, what you have achieved in the same age group is simply killing her."

"What's the use of that?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.

"The gap with you is even bigger than when we were in the southern province."

"Go to the moon, Sword Art Online, Initial D, Magical Girl Madoka." Song Lingyun paused for a moment, but soon, she smiled.

"In the beginning, I wanted to chase you and surpass you, just because I refused to admit defeat. In fact, I didn't think you would be so strong and hopeless, but now."

"What's the matter now?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

"Now I feel that my vision was not bad at the time. The existence that I fell in love with and deserves to be called my enemy can only be the No. 1 material company in the two-dimensional industry of Longguo."

"Two-dimensional industry, No. 1?" Xia Yan laughed.

"Are you flattering me?"

"No, I really think so. Give you a few more years, and you will have a great chance to grow to this point." Song Lingyun looked at and said softly.

After all, for a person who can create a phenomenon-level animation such as the magic circle at the age of 19, what kind of future expectations can be given to him is not too high.

"I didn't expect you to have such expectations from me." Xia Yan paused, then joked.

"Then I am so terrible in your eyes, do you still want to compete with me?"

"That's natural. Feng Shui turns. You are just a temporary lead to me now. No one can be at the top forever. But if one day you reach the top position in this industry, who really can take you from that If the place is pulled down, then... I think this person is me." Song Lingyun smiled lightly.

"This is also the reason why I finished "Blade of the Hidden" so quickly. My manager Shu Mei told me that in November, there will be a vacancy for a serialization in the journal "Liu Li". The last serialization Seat, because you stepped in, the new novels prepared by many people are useless, so those people have accumulated their strength for two months, waiting for this opportunity."

Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan.

"And so am I, staring at this serialized seat."

"Is that so? No wonder." Xia Yan said thoughtfully.

"I don't know these things yet, and I haven't paid much attention to them."

"After all, you are standing very high now, and you rarely look down. People who were at the same age as us when the New God ascended the ranks last year, such as Jiang Jing and Chu Li, who were the second and No.3 in the Xinshen ranks, are now accepting media Opening and shutting up during the interview is to target you and surpass you." Song Lingyun saw Xia Yan's expression and said a few more words.

"In the eyes of the top two-dimensional industry creators of the older generation, you may be a newcomer from the industry, and the biggest wave of latecomers poses a severe challenge to them. But in the eyes of those of us who are competing with you at the same time... you now It has already grown into an existence at the level of a great demon king."

"Great Demon King? This title, why does it feel like a second grader?" Xia Yan laughed.

While the two were communicating, the vehicle arrived at the company soon.

Xia Yan, Song Lingyun and Tang Yin are the shareholders of the company. Apart from their own affairs, they have their own tasks and responsibilities in the company.

Otherwise, Xia Yan's 9% shares would not be so easy to get.

In fact, Xia Yan can ask others to help with many things. The reason why these two people are arranged by Xia Yan to handle work in important positions is entirely because of Xia Yan's trust in them.

Capable people are easy to find if they are willing to spend money, but there are not many people in Longguo who can be trusted by Xia Yan and will not cheat him.

At the meeting, the company's financial report reported on the expected income of the magic girl Madoka, as well as Xia Yan's purchase of a car and a villa in a rich area in the name of the company.

First of all, the terrifying income of the magical girl Madoka was officially confirmed by the two at the meeting today. After all, finance is the absolute core department of any company, and Xia Yan has full authority to handle related matters, and they don't know about it. Just guessing.

But the terrifying profits that are expected to total more than one billion in the next two or three years still made the two of them dumbfounded.

That is to say, the 9% shares of each of the two can theoretically be distributed to more than 9000 million Longguo coins, provided that Xia Yan, the major shareholder, distributes these dividends.

But no matter what. Compared with the investment of several million for each of them.

This is a tenfold rate of return. Moreover, this is not counting the possible benefits of the animations of I’m Waiting for You and Cyberpunk Edgewalker that the company is currently producing.

This... This is too heaven-defying.

9000 million, Dragon Country Coin
Even though Tang Yin and Song Lingyun are from wealthy families, they still feel that the money is too easy to earn.

On the other hand, the villas and cars that Xia Yan bought through the company's name are trivial matters.It's just for reasonable tax avoidance. After all, the company holds real estate and can use the annual depreciation of the real estate to offset the business tax, and Xia Yan doesn't have to pay the house purchase money to turn him into a private real estate after paying a tax. That way, he has to pay a tax Well, if you calculate it that way, you will have to pay tens of millions more in taxes to buy this suite, which is too bad.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. For example, if the company goes bankrupt, the house will also be liquidated. If the house is to be sold in the future, if the house appreciates, it will have to pay value-added tax and corporate income tax.
However, Xia Yan does not think that Xia Tang Animation Production Company will go bankrupt, after all, as the chairman, he does not borrow money to operate, nor is he contaminated with bad habits.

The house he lives in is not going to be sold either, so in Xia Yan's view, there are almost no disadvantages in doing so.

And then there's the point.

After the accountant explained the purpose of the money, Xia Yan looked directly at Tang Yin and Song Lingyun and said.

"So... you two want to move in?"

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.

"Eh?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with a dazed expression after hearing the words.

"I mean, do you two want to move here?" Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"I bought this apartment for tens of millions because it is a well-closed community, and no reporters can secretly take pictures. You are also being chased and intercepted by those fanatical fans now."

Hearing this, Song Lingyun hesitated and nodded.

"There is also Tang Yin. As the vice chairman of Xia Tang Animation Production Company, you are actually being watched by many people in the animation industry. And you are our company's foreign affairs handler. There were reporters who wanted to follow you before, hoping to find out" My "true body, right?"

Tang Yin also nodded when she heard the words.

"With the development of the company, the two of you will encounter more and more situations like this. If you continue to live in that ordinary community, the troubles will only increase." Xia Yan also knows that his words may be misleading. It caused a misunderstanding between the two, but he was telling the truth.

"The villa I bought in the name of the company belongs to the company's assets. You can treat it as a company dormitory and move in for employee benefits. Anyway, the villa is quite big, and more than a dozen suites are more than enough for four people to live in." Xia Yan looked at To two people.

"The most important thing is that you should believe in my character."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Tang Yin blinked her eyes and coughed after hearing the words.

"Four people?" Only Song Lingyun noticed something was wrong.

"Why are there four people?"

"Oh, and my sister from the comic book club, Mo Ran, who is helping me draw the initial D, her situation is even more serious. Last week, some fanatical comic fans stopped by her door. There is no way, she It’s my partner, and I have to guarantee her daily life and privacy, so I also asked her if she would mind moving here, so that I don’t have to run around when I’m communicating with her about initial D manga drawing.”

"She agreed?" Tang Yin narrowed her eyes when she heard this.

"Yeah." Xia Yan nodded.

Song Lingyun and Tang Yin's expressions changed, and they immediately said in unison.

"I see."

"I understand."

"Are you? Agreed?" Xia Yan was a little surprised when he heard the words, and reconfirmed.

Song Lingyun and Tang Yin paused for a moment and then nodded.

After getting two nodding replies, he felt relieved.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't know that his proposal is wrong. He is a man who invites them to live in the new house he bought.

But Mo Ran, Song Lingyun, and Tang Yin basically have a deep connection with Xia Yan. They are either partners of Xia Yan's company or comic partners, and it is also beneficial to do so for the convenience of work contacts.

As for the bad
It's just a bit weird to say, three women and one man live in the same villa.

But to change the way of thinking, Xia Yan's partner should live in the luxurious villa dormitory arranged by him.

Apart from living in a villa in name, the privacy and firmness of each room are much stronger than the houses in the community.

The community is nothing more than a large building. In fact, the distance between households is only a wall. If you jump upstairs, you can hear the sound downstairs. The privacy is not as good as the rooms in Xia Yan's villa.

Since both of them agreed to Xia Yan's proposal, Xia Yan didn't bother to propose plan b.

After all, plan b is to buy another villa in the same community, coordinate the work of the three, and arrange the three partners to live together. This will also make it easier for Xia Yan to discuss work with them, without wasting time on commuting above.

Anyway, it is definitely impossible to let them continue to live in the original residence, otherwise Xia Yan is really afraid that one day they will be attacked by perverted fans.

However, plan b is too wasteful, and there is no point in spending tens of millions of funds.

After finalizing these details, in the next few days, Xia Yan, Song Lingyun, Tang Yin, Mo Ran and others all have a new job and move.

In the passage of time, Sword Art Online Chapter 3 was also successfully serialized on Friday.
