So red that everything is black

Chapter 32 Red (Thirteen)

It took lawyers from both sides an entire afternoon to negotiate the contract.

The moment she signed and pressed her fingerprints, Wen Xinlan was not relieved, but felt like she had fallen into a deep pit.

Fang Mingtang shook hands with Hu Zun and complimented each other.

Wei Qingkuan shook hands with Wen Xinlan, "Teacher Guifu, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wei! Happy cooperation!"

Wei Qingkuan asked Xiang Zhai Siyue, "Has the work meal been arranged?"

"It's arranged. We've booked two tables at the Japanese restaurant downstairs."

Wen Xinlan waved her hands repeatedly, "Mr. Wei, don't bother me!"

"From today on, Teacher Guifu has officially become Meng Lei's partner, so we should celebrate."

Wei Qingkuan looked at Hu Zun again, "Lawyer Hu, are there not many long-term contract writers from Wenyuan Pavilion selling their IP on external websites?"

Hu Zun smiled lightly, "It's true that there are not many. Teacher Guifu is a special case."

Since Hu Zun was also present, Wen Xinlan could not refuse and had to agree.

Wei Qingkuan personally sent Wen Xinlan into the elevator.

In the small space, Wen Xinlan's breathing was a little rapid, and there was an overwhelming sense of oppression all over her body.

The eight of them walked to a nearby Japanese restaurant.

Sharing tables is not allowed in this restaurant, so the seats Zhai Siyue booked were in two adjacent six-seater private rooms.

Wen Xinlan didn't know where to sit.

Wei Qingkuan: "Ladies first, please take a seat first, Mr. Guifu!"

Wen Xinlan followed the direction of his arm and sat in the first single room, and Wei Qingkuan also sat opposite.

Zhai Siyue, Fang Mingtang, Sui Bo, Bai Ci, and Zhu Dan naturally sat in another private room.

Hu Zun suddenly understood something, and resolutely walked to the private room with the most people, and sat down next to Fang Mingtang, "Fang Lu, you don't mind if I sit here, right?"

Fang Mingtang replied generously: "I don't mind! Hu Lu is young and promising, and Fang is looking for an opportunity to ask for advice!"

"No, Fang Lu is a senior in the industry, and the junior is just trying to learn."

Sui Bo looked at the two people in a lively atmosphere and cursed secretly: "I'm lucky I'm not blind. It would be fun if I sat in the wrong seat!"

Everyone has arrived and the waiter brings tea.

Wen Xinlan was eagerly hoping that Hu Zun could sit with her, but she didn't expect that Hu Zun betrayed her and went to squeeze into a six-person room.

Now she was alone with Wei Qingkuan, so embarrassed that she could dig out a Great Wall with her toes.

Wei Qingkuan was a little disappointed, "Oh, I have no status as a boss. None of them want to eat with me, Teacher Guifu, don't mind."

"No, it's an honor for me to have dinner with Wei."

Wei Qingkuan's deep black eyes stared at her, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Teacher Guifu seems very nervous?"

"fine……"

"Teacher Guifu's surname is Wen?"

"Yes, my real name is Wen Xinlan."

"Xinlan...Guifu Lanxin, Teacher Guifu's real name and pen name are both very nice."

"Mr. Wei has given you too much praise."

The waiter brings the menu.

Wei Qingkuan asked: "What does Teacher Guifu like to eat?"

Wen Xinlan hates eating raw meat the most, but when faced with a Japanese menu full of raw meat, she still smiled sweetly: "Anything is fine."

"Then let me order some special dishes?"

"it is good."

While waiting for the food to be served, Wei Qing loosened his tie, exposing his sexy neck and throat.Wen Xinlan accidentally took another look, her heart was pounding, and she immediately blushed and lowered her head.

It was definitely not because of her heartbeat, but simply because she had a sense of fear for this man and the adrenaline surge.

Every move of the woman was reflected in Wei Qingkuan's eyes.

He looked at her red little ears with a smile in his eyes.

"Actually, I have been paying attention to Teacher Guifu for a long time. He writes quite good stories of various types."

"Since Mr. Wei has paid attention to me for a long time, why didn't you ask the editor to sign a contract with me earlier?"

Wei Qingkuan let out a long sigh, "Menglei is a listed company, I can't have the final say alone. Earlier I had made suggestions to the editorial department about signing contracts and adapting IP, but the board of directors felt that you were too little famous and the investment risk was It's too big, and the project has been stranded until now. It was Teacher Guifu who became popular in the literary world recently, so the company was willing to let go and talk to Miss Wen about cooperation."

Wen Xinlan did not expect the other party to answer so straightforwardly, "The board of directors is very realistic."

"Yes, the most important power in the future is influence. Only after Teacher Guifu has influence can I promote certain things."

Wen Xinlan wanted to retort to him, but because she remembered Zhen Nuan's warning, she suppressed her sarcastic remarks.

Wei Qingkuan looked at her deflated look and said with a smile, "Teacher Guifu, you can speak freely without being restrained."

"Don't dare. Today is the first time I've met a big shot like Mr. Wei with a strong background. I'm afraid I might say something inappropriate and make you angry."

"Teacher Guifu is joking, how do I have a strong background? My mother is a civil servant, and my father does some small business. I don't even have the say in the company I opened, and I have to watch the board of directors every day. It's not as good as I imagined. So awesome."

Senior officials in Beicheng VS civil servants

Super conglomerate VS small business

This Mr. Wei is really well versed in the art of language.

The waiter bowed respectfully and served dishes one after another.

Coincidentally, everything placed in front of Wen Xinlan was steamed and fried cooked food.

Sea urchin, sashimi and other raw foods were all placed around Wei Qingkuan.

Wen Xinlan was secretly delighted that she finally no longer had to eat raw meat!What a joy!

Wei Qingkuan introduced: "The sauce in this restaurant is good. They make it with fruits themselves. Teacher Guifu will try it."

Wen Xinlan dipped the tip of her chopsticks into it a little, "Well, it's salty and fresh with a sweet and fruity aroma. It tastes really good."

"Teacher Guifu's comments are very accurate. He deserves to be a great writer."

It happened that the waiter brought the green plum fruit drink, Wen Xinlan pointed to the green plum and said: "Where is it? Now I regret not reading "Yang Xiaolu" twice more, so that I can talk about the method of making green plum sauce in front of you."

"Is "Yang Xiao Lu" only for women and villains who are difficult to raise?" Wei Qingkuan smiled heartily, "I didn't know that "Yang Xiao Lu" was written by Gu Zhong Diet, so I thought it was some unorthodox work."

"Mr. Wei is knowledgeable about the past and the present."

"But having said that, women are indeed difficult to raise. Wei has not been able to have a girlfriend since he started working."

Although Wen Xinlan had heard rumors about the golden bachelor, she was still a little shocked when she heard him say it himself.

The waiter knocked on the door and brought out a secret shrimp slider.

This dish was supposed to be placed in the free space outside, but Wei Qingkuan quietly moved a plate to the right of Wen Xinlan and said to the waiter: "Put it here!"

"Okay." The waiter complied and took the plate from Wei Qingkuan's hand.

"Thank you."

Watching the shrimp slide down to the place closest to her, Wen Xinlan had an extremely narcissistic thought.

Could it be that Wei Qingkuan knew that she liked to eat shrimp slippery and specially prepared today's dish for her?

Could it be that Wei Qingkuan liked her a little, so he deliberately mentioned that he didn't have a girlfriend?

But there is a huge class gap between them. Wen Xinlan only wants to make money by selling books, and does not want to have anything to do with these rich second-generation and third-generation officials.

She turned to a surprised smile and continued the previous topic, "Mr. Wei, you are just joking. How come a successful man like you is in need of women?"

"It seems that Teacher Guifu has misunderstood me a lot."

"Human beings are complex and changeable, and it is normal to have misunderstandings." Wen Xinlan shook the green plum juice in her hand and pretended to recall, "When I was a child, I had social phobia and didn't like to talk at all. After I went to college, I tried to I broke through myself, made my personality more outgoing, and took the initiative to participate in some school activities. It was during this period that I met my current boyfriend. Later, when my job became stable, my personality changed again, and I gradually became taciturn. .So, Mr. Wei, which one of me do you think is the real me?"

Wei Qingkuan did not answer her question directly, but hit the point: "Maybe it's not your job that makes you reticent, but the person next to you is not the best choice."
