Chapter 65: The royalties are astonishing
After returning to the New World Community, Li Yangshu did not go to his aunt's house, but returned to his own home.
Without the company of a woman, Li Yangshu brewed his favorite jasmine tea and started writing. What he wrote tonight was still "Buddha is the Tao". As for "Jurassic Park", he didn't have a clear idea for the time being.
Being alone and quiet is very suitable for writing. Time passed unknowingly and it came to one o'clock in the night. During this period, Li Yangshu completed 20,000 words.
------------------
Early in the morning, the big brother on the bedside kept making loud noises.
Li Yangshu, who was sleeping soundly, touched the phone with sleepy eyes, "Here, you'd better find a suitable reason, otherwise I will steal your horse..."
Before 'Zi' could say anything, the voice on the other end of the phone also rang, "You're so angry that you're jumping out of bed, and you're ready to curse people like this. Do I need to give you a loudspeaker to stand on the street and curse?"
”
"I told you to call me early in the morning, but it turned out that you were just trying to catch me. Don't worry, I won't take your advantage."
Damn it, I don’t even want the money.
"Damn it, can you please stop exposing your shortcomings? You're a deadbeat." Zhang Guorong on the other end of the phone cursed through gritted teeth.
After a few words, Li Yangshu also became sober, "Haha, Brother Rong, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
"Congratulations on making a fortune from the street. Two novels sold for more than 4 million.
I went to buy cigarettes just now, and the neighbors were talking about you, saying that you are the next Jin Yong.
I worked very hard and held 10 consecutive concerts in the Coliseum to earn less than 2 million. God is really blind."
"Damn, which newspaper said that? Doesn't it make me hate you?"
"The Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily have talked about it. After making so much money, when will we treat you?" Zhang Guorong laughed on the phone, as if he was happy to kill Li Yang.
"You are a fool, you hang up the phone as soon as you hear the treat." Zhang Guorong said to himself, "I haven't told you a fool yet, the newspapers are saying that Lin Qingxia and Qin Han broke up."
------------------
On Li Yangshu's side, it wasn't that he hung up the phone on purpose, but the landline in the living room also rang.
"Hey, hubby, are you up?"
"I just woke up and haven't put on my clothes yet."
"Don't forget to follow me to the airport to pick up my parents later."
"I know, even if I forget my parents, I can't forget your parents." Li Yangshu said impatiently.
"I hate it, can't you just talk properly?"
After hanging up the phone with his little aunt, Li Yangshu felt more and more impatient with her now. Is this what people say, what you don't get will always be turbulent, and what you get will not be cherished?
Yes, that’s it. Li Yangshu affirms himself.
------------------
I wash, wash, wash.

Damn, can you please calm down for a while? I can’t even brush my teeth.
"Smelly man, when will you repay your sister's 1.3 million?" Guan Zhilin called Li Yangshu on her mobile phone while eating breakfast.
"Sister, didn't we agree for three months? What kind of arrogance are you doing?"
"Yes, it was agreed to be 3 months, but you are rich now. Didn't the newspaper say that you earned more than 4 million from selling books? Can't you pay it back to your sister in advance?"
"Sister, please stop making trouble, my money is still useful."
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhilin's eyes widened in anger, "Anyone's money is useless? Only your money is useful, other people's are just waste paper."
Damn, that makes sense.
"The three months we agreed are three months, don't mess around." Li Yangshu didn't give Sister Qiu a chance to refute, and hung up the phone straightforwardly.

Chai Wan, Ming Pao headquarters.
Today, Monday, according to custom, writers under Ming Pao will come here to meet Master Jin.
At this time, a large number of well-known writers from all over Hong Kong were sitting or standing in Master Jin’s not-so-large office.
Such as Huang Zhan, Yi Shu, Ni Kuang, Lin Yanni, Shen Xicheng, Zhang Jiayu, Zhang Xiaoxian and others.
A group of big shots get together, just like ordinary people, they also talk about each other and ridicule each other.
Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, Huang Zhan, a salty man, said: "Fat man, you have a competitor. Looking at this young and handsome boy, two books have sold for more than 4 million.
As for you, you brag about your high royalties every day and claim to be the best person under Jin Yong, but you never see how much you earn throughout the year."
After saying that, Huang Zhan threw the Sing Tao Daily in his hand to Ni Kuang.
"Hehe." Huang Zhan seemed like Ni Kuang's nemesis, and Ni Kuang respectfully lit a cigarette for Huang Zhan, "Boss, who knew that boy had faster hands than mine. He wrote more than 5 million words in two books.
If I can write 5 million words in two novels, not to mention the money I get from selling the copyright, the royalties from Hong Kong alone will be almost 10 million."
"Then you should just write. You'll know how to blow water every day." Huang Zhan reached out and slapped Ni Kuang on the back of the head.
At this time, Yishu glanced at her brother Ni Kuang with disdain, "Humph, I can't see that in two years, Ashu's royalties will exceed yours. I have read his novels and his writing style is better than yours."<
/p>
"Sister Yi, do you know that handsome boy?" Huang Zhan asked.
"I don't know her, but I often hear it from Qingxia's mouth. It's easy to say. Besides, don't call me sister, call your sister Lin."
Hearing Yishu teasing Huang Zhan, a group of celebrities all laughed.
"Haha, that pretty boy is really having sex with Lin Qingxia?" Huang Zhan asked again gossiping.
"Don't you ask your sister Lin? She knows everything I know."
"Yes, ask your sister Lin, I don't know how to write. Lin Qingxia and Lin Yanni are good best friends." The great writer Zhang Xiaoxian also joked about Huang Zhan.
In her previous life, Lin Qingxia was a guest on "Undefended Tonight" hosted by Huang Zhan. Huang Zhan said at the scene that he had met Lin Qingxia a long time ago, and he had bad thoughts about her from the first time he saw her.
Huang Zhan then said that he was ashamed of himself, so he did not dare to take action against Lin Qingxia.
"Stop being sentimental, Qingxia doesn't like you, a salty guy like you."
Lin Yanni also attacked Huang Zhan and showed no mercy to him. Although Huang Zhan was his lover, Lin Yanni, as the first female writer in Hong Kong, did not give Master Jin any face. When she was angry, she even named her in the newspaper.
The last name is Jin Yong.
Haha...
"Save some face."
------------------
Lin Qingxia's parents were on a plane that landed in Xiangjiang at 10:30 in the morning. Today, Lin Qingxia refused to let Li Yangshu drive his Mazda, insisting on letting him drive his own Mercedes-Benz.
"Little auntie, you don't usually see it, but you are quite vain. My Mazda can't pick up your parents?" Li Yangshu smoked a cigar and joked to Lin Qingxia.
"Asshole, you told me not to call me auntie." Lin Qingxia stamped her feet anxiously.
"What are you afraid of? I don't shout to outsiders." Li Yangshu said with a smile.
"Ashu, do you dislike me for being old?"
"It's okay, it's still flexible." Li Yangshu turned his head and glanced at the elastic part of his little aunt.
