The rich and powerful: The story of the counterattack of the house girl

Chapter 37 The Law of the Jungle

"This is Director Li of our company. He is in charge of all the matters of this competition." The female editor got up first and introduced.

"Hello, my name is Lai Xiaocai. This is the document and outline I printed out. Please have a look." Lai Xiaocai handed the folder in his hand to the other party respectfully.

The female assistant hurriedly took the folder over, chatted with Director Li and whispered a few words, then Director Li rubbed his hands and nodded at Lai Xiaocai and smiled kindly: "Hello, Miss Lai, I also have some questions about you. Your editor has followed up on the situation, and also read your story and outline, and I personally feel very satisfied, and there is no need to continue any revisions."

"Really? Thank you!" Lai Xiaocai smiled happily at him.

Director Li also smiled and said, "Yes, you can create according to your own ideas, and we will never interfere in the later stage. The only requirement is that you can sign the contract immediately. "

"Right now?" Lai Xiaocai was surprised, and stuck out her tongue: "Ah, sorry! I seem to have accidentally forgotten to bring the contract that you said to be printed."

Then Director Li turned his head and looked at the female assistant, and then continued to smile: "It's okay, it's okay, we have already printed it out for you, you just need to sign it."

"Really? I'll trouble you then." Lai Xiaocai happily took the document from the female assistant, and then began to examine it carefully.

But having said that, Lai Xiaocai did not expect them to be so active at all, and their attitudes changed 360 degrees, which surprised her, so she continued to ask in disbelief: "By the way, I really won't interfere in the future." My creation is finished? Do you need any other requests?" Lai Xiaocai always felt that it seemed impossible for them to compromise so easily, and she must have rejected them first when she was on the phone.

Director Li winked at the female assistant again, with apprehension and hospitality in his eyes, he kept looking at Lai Xiaocai, then swallowed his saliva, and continued to smile: "Well...Actually, our only request is not much, that is I hope Ms. Lai can speak a few words of kindness for us in front of Young Master Ling."

"What?" The pen in Lai Xiaocai's hand paused slightly, and she looked up at the smiling Director Zhang: "How do you know that I know him?"

"Uh, this..." The other party's face gradually showed a bit of embarrassment, and then he quickly continued to rub his hands: "No, it's nothing, in fact, it's because Master Ling's assistant suddenly called and asked us about the shortlist for the competition Is there your name in it? After we answered truthfully, Master Ling suddenly allocated 100 million yuan to sponsor our competition. We are really grateful, so we guess whether Lai Xiaocai has a close relationship with Master Ling."

At this moment, Lai Xiaocai finally understood the reason for the sudden change in their attitudes, and she couldn't help but frowned and put down the pen in her hand: "So, because I knew him, you suddenly said that I don't need to change the plot, so you are in a hurry signed with me?"

The female assistant on the side quickly stepped forward and explained: "Miss Lai, you misunderstood. In fact, it is because we really think your work is excellent, so we are so anxious to ask you to sign the contract."

"Really?" Lai Xiaocai squinted at Director Li suspiciously.

Director Li also nodded quickly: "That's right, that's for sure. Your works are very special and refreshing in terms of painting skills and plots, so they must stand out from the crowd and win the prize. laurels."

Lai Xiaocai's interest was immediately lost by such panacea comments, and Lai Xiaocai's originally enthusiastic mood suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water.

"But this is just a shortlist. It's too early to say who will win the first place so early?" Lai Xiaocai said as politely as possible.

Unexpectedly, Director Li couldn't read the change in her demeanor at all, and continued to wave his hands and laughed: "No problem, no problem, I am also one of the judges, many of the current works have passed the preliminary review of the judges, everyone I have already listed my one, two and three in my heart, I think your champion will definitely not have to run away."

"However, according to the rules of the competition, are the finalists selected by the online audience? The votes of the judges only accounted for [-]% of the votes." Lai Xiaocai felt more and more that something was wrong with his words.

Unexpectedly, the other party finally said straight away: "What's the matter? The popularity of the online selection is just superficial data. In fact, just in case, our internal judges have already discussed the list. It worked out well."

"What?" Lai Xiaocai finally understood, her voice sank, and she almost blurted out: "Do you want to make an appointment?"

The expressions of the two people on the opposite side froze, and the female assistant smiled and smoothed things over: "Miss Lai, you also know that it is too easy to invite trolls in this Internet age, so in order to prevent some people from deliberately swiping tickets, we can only adjust the results as much as possible." to a point within our control.”

Lai Xiaocai lowered her head, pondered and didn't speak any more, her face became a little stiff.

Seeing this, the female assistant hurriedly added: "Actually, this is the case in various competitions on many websites, and you don't need to mind too much."

No, Lai Xiaocai suddenly raised her head and looked seriously at the opposite Director Li: "Director, you said before that you came to me because you saw my work and thought you liked it, right?"

Director Li smiled and nodded: "That's right."

"Then can you please comment on my work and tell me what you think is good about my story?" Lai Xiaocai's tone was a little aggressive.

"This..." A trace of embarrassment flashed in Director Li's eyes, and he was unable to speak for a long time: "Let me think about it...your story is..."

Seeing that he couldn't answer for a long time, Lai Xiaocai finally felt like a mirror in her heart, and the other party had never read her story.

A kind of inexplicable anger dared to rush into my heart. After a while, Lai Xiaocai took a deep breath, raised her head and squeezed out a polite smile, and continued: "Director Li, you are wrong, my work is actually not that novel. , It’s just a story about a little girl who had many dreams when she was very young, and then drew her own story on paper.”

"Ah?" Perhaps because they didn't understand Lai Xiaocai's abrupt words, the two people on the opposite side looked at each other for a while.

Unexpectedly, Lai Xiaocai suddenly showed a bitter smile, then took back the folders on the table, stood up and bowed to them and said: "Sorry, Director Li, I appreciate your kindness, maybe I really don't It is suitable to commercialize my works, I prefer to draw my own happy things, so thank you both, goodbye."

"Oh? What does this mean?"

"Miss Lai, you..."

Don't want to wait for the two of them to react, Lai Xiaocai has already turned around and left the box with her bag.
