Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 63 After eight years of struggle, you asked me to be your gunner
Dan's reaction when he saw Jamie was even more surprised than when he saw a strange and beautiful girl named Collins coming to the house.

Before Dan could put down his shoulder bag, Rufus came up to him and asked how his talk with the publisher was going.

"It's okay. The other party thinks that there are still some areas that need to be improved in my story. They asked me to modify it before contacting them."

Dan responded casually.

Rufus didn't notice the strangeness in his son's tone and thought it went well this time.

Jamie happened to be here today, and he was going to make a more sumptuous dinner to celebrate Dan taking another step towards publishing the novel.

Jenny also introduced Collins to Dan at this time.

Dan heard at school this morning that there was a very beautiful transfer student in Jenny's class, and his photos were even posted on the gossip queen's blog.

Dan sent it himself after receiving the revelations.

Originally, Dan was quite happy that Collins came to his home as a guest, but he didn't expect that the next second something came out of Jenny's mouth.

"Collins came to see Jamie. I told her that Jamie had lived in our house for a year. I just showed her the room where Jamie lived."

Dan was very angry after hearing this.

"Jamie has moved out, and that's Nate's room now. How can you just bring anyone in?"

Of course Jenny would not make such a stupid mistake. She called Nate to ask for his opinion before taking Collins to visit.

Nate agrees.

Dan could only apologize to Jenny, but he still disagreed with his sister's practice of relying on Jamie's reputation to make friends.

At this time Rufus interjected curiously.

"Jamie, how did you meet Collins?"

Before Jamie could answer, Collins spoke first.

“My mom was an interior designer, and her first client in New York was Jamie, whom I met at a party at our house.”

Rufus then asked about Jamie's penthouse in Hampshire House.

Jamie takes the opportunity to extend an invitation to the Rufus family to a party being held at his house this weekend.

Knowing that Rufus might be worried about the embarrassment of meeting Lily at the party, Jamie went out of his way to add that he would also invite Collins' parents to the party.

Collins' mouth was also blocked.

In order to prevent Collins from coming to him and asking some "childish questions" from children, Jamie then asked if there was something he wanted to talk to Dan alone.

The two of them went upstairs to Dan's room.

After closing the door, Jamie pulled up a chair and sat down.

Dan sat on the bed opposite and asked Jamie what was wrong.

"What's going on with your new novel? Don't deny it, I know you just lied to Rufus."

Regarding Jamie, Dan had nothing to hide, so he shrugged and replied:
"The other party felt that my novel did not have much publishing value."

Jamie frowned and asked:
"Then they still want to interview you?"

"They think my writing is good and want me to write about another subject that is easier to publish, but I haven't decided yet whether to agree."

Dan wasn't entirely telling the truth.

Because the publisher’s original words were that he hoped that Dan would write Jamie’s story into a novel from his friend’s identity and perspective.

It would be best if we could get Jamie's authorization and consent.

If not, you can just make up a male protagonist. Anyway, as long as you can make readers believe that this character is based on Jamie.

There is no doubt that this publisher saw that Jamie is now popular. His father not only owns the largest ranch in the United States, but also bought the Bulls. It is very topical and decided to ride on this wave of popularity.Dan's contribution was an accident.

The publisher somehow found out about Dan and Jamie's relationship, which led to this meeting.

Dan himself was very resistant to this matter and did not intend to confess to Jamie.

At least not now.

In order to prevent Jamie from pursuing the topic, Dan took the initiative to change the subject.

"Are you looking for me because of the school's Ivy Week next month?"

Jamie asked back:
"So you already have an idea of ​​which school you're going to?"

Dan shrugged.

"I want to try to apply to Yale on my own. If I fail or don't get a full scholarship, I will consider Grandpa Nate's recommendation letter."

The implication is that I want to rush into Yale on my own, and can no longer rely on connections to go to Harvard.

This fits his character very well.

Jamie nodded, then asked Dan a strange question.

"If you successfully publish a novel, and the response to the novel is good, will this help you apply for a full scholarship to Yale?"

"of course."

Dan replied without hesitation.

After saying that, he suddenly realized that Jamie had already guessed what new subject the publisher wanted him to write about, right?
At this time Jamie suddenly asked.

"Are you going to write about the subject that the publisher said would be easier to publish?"

Dan was really panicking this time.

Just as he was hesitating whether to confess now, Jamie suddenly stood up from his chair.

"I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

Dan nodded subconsciously.

"The girl named Collins downstairs, my relationship with her family is not as simple as what she just said."

Jamie managed to grab Dan's attention with his first words.

"Collins' parents adopted a black adopted son who was one year older than Collins. Although he was born in a slum, he was extremely talented in sports and especially liked playing basketball. The only problem was that his grades in various subjects were very poor."

"Because of this, he couldn't go to King Chris High School to play, so his adoptive mother, Collins' mother, came to me."

Dan was no fool and reacted immediately when he heard this.

All this should be related to Jamie's father buying the Bulls a few days ago.

Jamie's next words also confirmed Dan's guess.

"I plan to sign an agreement with the Taosi family and obtain authorization to write a biographical novel about their family's adoption of black children and training them to become NBA players. As long as the publication of this novel can arouse good response, then the Taosi family will face The problem is no longer a problem.”

Dan looked at Jamie in mock confusion.

He had actually guessed what Jamie was going to say next, and his heartbeat started to quicken, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be nonchalant.

"so what?"

"You know, I still have to continue writing the follow-up novel of "Percy Jackson", and I really can't spare much time to interview the Taosi family and sort out the writing materials, so I want to find someone to co-sign with me and complete it together. This novel, and the first person I thought of was you.”

"Originally, I wanted to find another suitable time to tell you about this, but if you are really considering writing a novel according to the publisher's requirements, why don't we work together?"
