Chen Xinhan said embarrassedly: "Boss, I don't know either. Lin Yu is now popular abroad, and some publishers are willing to poach him at a premium, even at a loss."
"The royalty rate we offer was set a long time ago. If we increase the royalty rate again, we might lose money."
Liang Zhirong considered for a moment and said, "Shall we talk to Lin Chen in person? See what he thinks."
"Okay."
Chen Xinhan nodded.
The two quickly bought plane tickets and set off.
……
"Mom!"
Lin Xiaoqian rushed towards Xu Mengyao in surprise.
After a week of tossing around, Xu Mengyao finally came back.
"Qianqian, Mommy missed you so much."
Xu Mengyao picked up Lin Xiaoqian and kissed her several times.
"Mommy, Dad and I miss you too."
"Mommy, do you miss Daddy?"
Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice.
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen, who was smiling beside her, and she nodded: "Yes, Mommy misses Daddy, of course."
Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen and giggled: "Daddy, did you hear that? Mommy misses you so much, give Mommy a hug."
Lin Chen took two steps forward.
He hugged Lin Xiaoqian and Xu Mengyao together. He and Xu Mengyao were separated by Lin Xiaoqian, and his hand behind Xu Mengyao was clenched into a fist.
Xu Mengyao's heart beat faster.
Her face also turned a little red.
But she didn't break free. She can still fully accept this level of physical contact.
"Qianqian, you're going to become a sandwich."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian giggled: "It's so crowded."
Xu Mengyao's eyes met Lin Chen's, and she said shyly and coquettishly, "Lin Chen, let go quickly, there are still things outside the door, bring them in."
Lin Xiaoqian: "Daddy, it must be a gift."
Lin Chen nodded with a smile.
Compared to holding hands, this is considered progress. Now that there is such a hug, will a full hug be far away in the future?
Releasing Xu Mengyao and Lin Xiaoqian, Lin Chen went outside.
There were two gift boxes outside.
One large and one small.
Lin Chen brought in all the gift boxes.
Xu Mengyao put Lin Xiaoqian down.
Lin Xiaoqian happily picked up the small gift box: "Daddy, you are an adult, the big gift is yours. I am a baby, this small gift is mine."
Xu Mengyao said, "Qianqian, the big gift is yours, Daddy's is this small gift."
Lin Xiaoqian was stunned.
"Mommy, you want to give Daddy a big gift. I am a little baby, you can give me a small gift."
"Daddy, don't be sad."
Lin Chen rubbed Lin Xiaoqian's little head: "Daddy is not sad, Qianqian, let's open the gifts together."
Soon the two opened the gifts.
Lin Xiaoqian's was a beautiful doll, and Lin Chen's was a watch, the watch brand was Patek Philippe.
"Daddy, my gift is so big."
"Yours is so small."
"Do you want to exchange with me?"
Lin Xiaoqian said a little reluctantly. She likes this doll very much, but Lin Chen is her most beloved father.
Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart.
He squatted down and kissed Lin Xiaoqian: "Qianqian, gifts are not about size, but about whether others like them. Daddy likes this gift from Mommy very much."
Xu Mengyao: "Qianqian, Mommy didn't treat your dad badly. Your dad's is more expensive than your doll."
The doll she gave Lin Xiaoqian cost tens of thousands of yuan. Lin Chen's Patek Philippe watch cost several million.
It's not just a little more expensive.
"Daddy, then we won't exchange."
"Mommy, I like this doll so much."
Lin Xiaoqian picked up the doll and went to the master bedroom.
"Wife, thank you."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and smiled.
Xu Mengyao's pretty face turned red: "Try it on, it should fit. If it doesn't fit, you can change it for another one."
Lin Chen put on the watch.
It really fit.
"Mengyao, how much does this cost?"
Xu Mengyao: "More than three million, don't give me money. If you give me money, don't expect any gifts in the future."
Lin Chen laughed: "What are you thinking? After buying that house, I only have a million or so left on my card, I can't afford it. I can only choose to dedicate myself."
Xu Mengyao: "…"
"You are already my husband, how can you dedicate yourself?"
"Are you taking my things and giving them to me?"
After speaking, Xu Mengyao quickly slipped into the master bedroom.
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment and smiled.
Although Xu Mengyao has been on a business trip abroad recently, it seems that his relationship with Xu Mengyao has moved a step closer.
Two hours passed.
"Di Di!"
Lin Chen's phone rang, it was Chen Xinhan calling.
He answered the phone and said, "Editor Chen, what's the good news?"
Chen Xinhan on the other end of the phone laughed: "Master Lin Yu, the boss and I are on a business trip in Shanghai. If it's convenient for you, can we come over and have some tea with you?"
Lin Chen muttered in his heart.
It should be about the third book.
There are many publishers leaving messages in his comment section wanting to cooperate.
"Sure, when are you coming over?"
Chen Xinhan: "Master Lin Yu, we are not far from you, we can be there in about half an hour. If you have to take care of your child, can we come to your house and sit down?"
Lin Chen laughed: "My wife is here, someone is taking care of Qianqian, I'll wait for you at the teahouse outside the community."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen went to the balcony.
Lin Xiaoqian was drawing on the small table on the balcony, and Xu Mengyao was watching beside her. She was amazed by Lin Xiaoqian's talent for painting.
"Wife, I'm going out."
"The boss and editor of Tongxin Network are here."
Lin Chen said.
Xu Mengyao: "Your third fairy tale can be published. They are here to talk to you about this. The quality of this book is much higher than the previous two."
"Your reputation has also increased."
"They are probably worried about what kind of conditions to offer."
"Why don't you stay home and take care of Qianqian, and I'll go talk to them first, and when I've negotiated, you can come and have tea and chat with them?"
Lin Chen laughed: "I'm really not good at negotiating this."
"Then Mengyao, you can help me negotiate first."
Xu Mengyao nodded: "You teach Qianqian how to paint, you do what you are good at, and I do what I am good at."
There is a decent teahouse outside the community. Xu Mengyao opened a private room, and then she sent the private room number to Lin Chen, and Lin Chen sent it to Chen Xinhan.
"Editor Chen, I have something to do for the time being. My wife will entertain you first, and I will arrive later."
Seeing the message, Chen Xinhan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, look."
Chen Xinhan showed the message to Liang Zhirong.
Liang Zhirong: "Intellectuals like Lin Yu are not good at doing business. I don't know how to talk to people like him. It's better to have his wife talk."
"Everyone didn't know each other before, so we can talk openly."
Chen Xinhan laughed: "There is another advantage, if the negotiation breaks down, there is still Master Lin Yu to buffer."
More than ten minutes later, Liang Zhirong and the others arrived.
"Knock knock!"
Chen Xinhan knocked on the door of the private room.
Xu Mengyao opened the door.
Seeing Xu Mengyao, Liang Zhirong was stunned. He knew Xu Mengyao, she was the president of Xu's Group.
Liang Zhirong has assets of nearly one billion, which is pretty good, but his assets are dwarfed by Xu's Group.
"President Xu, why are you here?"
Liang Zhirong said in disbelief.
Xu Mengyao smiled slightly: "President Liang, Editor Chen, please come in. I'm here to help my husband discuss cooperation with you."
Liang Zhirong was numb.
Lin Chen's wife is Xu Mengyao?
