Everyone felt various degrees of envy and jealousy; it's too easy to become restless in a city like Jiangdu.
Xu Lin smiled and said, "Classmate, you're quite pretty."
"Haha, really?"
The girl, praised by Xu Lin, this handsome guy with a Maybach, was momentarily at a loss. She was pretty, and her sycophants often said so, but none of them could compare to Xu Lin. They weren't even worthy of stepping into the fishpond!
"Classmate, can we add each other as friends?"
She boldly asked, thinking it was a sure thing, while two other girls also looked eager to try.
"No way."
After Xu Lin said that, he closed the car window and drove off, leaving the group of girls staring at each other.
Before long, the car left Jiangdu Music College.
"Did you buy a car?"
Xia Xiyao couldn't help but ask; this car was a Maybach s680.
"I borrowed it, I haven't bought a car yet."
"Oh, oh."
"Are you busy today? You're wearing a suit."
It was Xia Xiyao's first time seeing Xu Lin in a suit, which made her heart race.
The "Dragon among Men" buff wasn't just talk.
Even men find it impressive, let alone women.
"My novel's rights were sold; I'm going to discuss the rights today, as they plan to adapt it into a TV series and movie later."
"Ah? Really?"
"Really."
"When will they start shooting?"
"Next year, I guess. My book will be finished next month, and filming will start next year."
"Who will play the lead roles?"
"I don't know, but they shouldn't be too bad."
In theory, with the popularity of his book, it's top of the top, so the level of stars, especially the leads, should be quite high too.
No matter what, the popularity is there. Like at the beginning of the year with "Great Feng," even though the filming was a mess, the star lineup was still very strong. That's the weight of a popular work; they can't possibly hire a lousy team.
Xia Xiyao said, "I'm looking forward to it!"
Finally, out of curiosity, she asked, "So how much did you sell the rights for?"
In truth, she was just curious. From what she heard, other novels' rights go for tens of thousands, some for millions, and some even break ten million, though that's rare. Xu Lin's book should break ten million, right?
"Exactly one hundred million."
"What! One hundred million?"
Xia Xiyao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's split fifty-fifty, and I have to pay twenty percent tax, so I'll end up with forty million."
Xu Lin was very calm, "Besides, it hasn't even been credited yet; they said it will only come at the end of the month."
"Amazing!"
Xia Xiyao's heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.
Forty million, what kind of concept is that?
After a while.
"Let's have a barbecue tonight, let's go to the market and buy some stuff!"
"Uh-huh!"
Xia Xiyao nodded.
Later, the two went to the market, with Xia Xiyao following behind Xu Lin.
Today, she wore a black hoodie on top, ultra-short gray-white denim shorts below, flesh-colored stockings, and brown ankle boots, with some fabric covering them—what's called the 'Railgun' outfit. Recently, this has been a trendy winter style among girls, though nobody knows which capitalist marketed it.
And Xia Xiyao, sticking close to Xu Lin, couldn't help but glance at him from time to time.
To be honest, the way Xu Lin walks in a suit is indescribable.
Soon, the two bought all sorts of ingredients and seasonings needed for the barbecue, several bags of stuff.
Afterward, they went elsewhere to buy an outdoor grill and charcoal.
A little after five-thirty in the afternoon, Xu Lin arrived at the gate of Finance University to pick up Rong Xiyi.
Then, the three of them excitedly set off to the barbecue spot.
