evening.
While Ying Chanxi was helping to cook in the kitchen, Xu Rongsheng and Li Guohong also came here one after another, preparing to have dinner together.
It can be said that the two families are quite familiar with each other now. After all, they come here to have a meal twice every weekend.
Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling often make appointments to dance or play mahjong.
As for Xu Rongsheng, now whenever he has a dinner party with school teachers or something, he will take people to Li Guohong's Sichuan-Chongqing Old Hotpot to support the business.
With the coupons given by Li Guohong, it is quite cheap and affordable.
It also indirectly helped Sichuan-Chongqing Old Hotpot establish some popularity among teachers at the School of Liberal Arts.
And because the flow of people on West Street is currently too small, the price of Li Guohong's hotpot restaurant is much cheaper than the two hotpot restaurants on Ningshan Avenue.
So after Xu Rongsheng started this, teachers from the School of Liberal Arts were happy to come to the Sichuan-Chongqing Hotpot on West Street when they usually go out to have a good meal.
It can be considered a good thing.
Although the monthly income of Sichuan-Chongqing Old Hotpot is still not comparable to the two hotpot restaurants on Ningshan Avenue, let alone Li Luo's income.
But this job is much easier than running a breakfast shop before. The employees below are responsible for everything. Li Guohong mainly gives orders and just takes a look from time to time.
Earning a small amount of money every month, for Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong, who do not have any big expenses in daily life, without the goal and pressure of continuous savings, they can spend as much as they earn, and their little life is much more nourishing than before.
Through the friendship between Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng at the hot pot restaurant, as well as having a meal together every week, although the relationship between Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng was not as close as that of the two little sisters in the kitchen, they could still be considered familiar.
Although Xu Rongsheng was an intellectual from a scholarly family and a professor of literature at Qianjiang University, he was not arrogant as a scholar.
No matter what topic the conversation was about, Xu Rongsheng could pick it up and chatting with Li Guohong was very enjoyable.
Coupled with his admiration for Li Luo himself, Xu Rongsheng really liked chatting with Li Guohong about Li Luo's childhood.
Whenever this happened, Li Luo would immediately go to the sofa to sit with him, interrupting his father's rant about the embarrassing things that happened when he was a child, and quickly change the subject.
It just so happened that today I was chatting with senior Jian Chun about Qian University's elective course, so Li Luo and Xu Rongsheng talked about "Little Joy".
"Many students in my elective course like to read the book "Little Joy" you wrote." Xu Rongsheng said with a smile, "But when I look at the website you serialized it on, it seems that there is a charge for reading.
I wonder if it will have any impact if I share your text during class?"
"It doesn't matter." Li Luo shook his head, "Piracy is everywhere now, and I didn't write this book just for the subscription money."
Right now, "Little Joy" has more than 2,000 readers. Even if it reaches 3,000 average subscriptions for high-quality products after it is released, and publishes all 800,000 words, the total manuscript fee earned is estimated to be only tens of thousands of yuan, which is not as good as "I'm Really Not a Star"
》A fraction of .
Li Luo's ultimate goal in writing this book "Little Joy" is to see if he can sell the film and television rights at a good price.
This depends on whether the Wenyue Group’s realism-themed essay call is strong enough and whether Ying Zhicheng’s Huayue Film and Television can handle it.
It can be regarded as an attempt by Li Luo.
After all, Qidian will announce his identity as a great master at the annual meeting of Wenyue Group at the end of the year.
With the blessing of this level of status, coupled with the super high scores of "I'm Really Not a Star" and the essay scores of "Little Joy", I might be able to get a good copyright price.
Li Guohong didn't like reading, so he couldn't get a word in when they were talking about this topic, so he just sat aside and listened.
He had read some books written by Li Luo before, but he basically stopped reading them after reading them for a while.
If it weren't for the three heroines in this book, all of whom have prototypes in reality, Li Guohong might not even be able to survive the first chapter.
When I read it later, I just thought I was watching a short story about my son's love affair with Xixi and the others.
After that, I started running to a hot pot restaurant every day, or dealing with information about people or companies who came to sing in the office, but I put my son's books on hold.
After all, this online article is mainly written for young people. Li Guohong never had the habit of reading before. After putting it down before, he never picked it up again.
Xu Rongsheng obviously noticed that Li Guohong's chat was silent, so he smoothly ended the topic and said instead: "I heard you guys say you were planning to buy a car. How are you doing recently?"
"Oh, this is about it." As soon as Li Guohong heard the topic he was interested in, he became interested again and couldn't help but said, "I think the car at home can still be driven, so there is no need to buy it now.
"
"I have looked at Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and so on. I don't have any requirements for the car, as long as it is comfortable to drive."
"But if you want a more spacious seat, it would be nice to buy an SUV like that. But after looking at the price, it's too expensive."
"The cheapest ones cost more than 600,000 yuan, and the more expensive ones cost one million. This is almost enough for me to buy another house."
After hearing this, Xu Rongsheng looked at Li Guohong, then at Li Luo, and said with a smile: "Now that your son is making so much money, one million is only his income in two or three months, right?"
"Ahem." Li Luo coughed and reminded, "If we only look at September and October, it's only one month's income."
Xu Rongsheng: "..."
Li Guohong: "..."
In September and October, because Yuan Wanqing appeared on the stage as a singer and helped attract traffic to "I'm Really Not a Star" with new songs one after another, Li Luo's channel royalties exploded and he became the most popular channel player in those two months.
Even all piracy websites have put this book in the recommended banner on their homepage for several months, and you can still see it now.
"Then you have to treat money as money." Li Guohong said angrily, "If you don't feel sorry for me, I still feel sorry for you. After the Chinese New Year, I can just buy a car that costs more than ten or two hundred thousand, and just make it work and it can be driven.
.”
When Li Luo heard his father say this, he also smiled casually, did not answer the question, and just said it casually.
I told him before that I would buy him a car and let him choose whatever he wanted, just buy it in the name of the company.
As a result, in the first half of the year, I was told to pay off Bihailanting’s mortgage first.
During the summer vacation, I also said that I would deal with the hot pot restaurant first.
After Li Luo's second year of high school started, he said that he would be busy with Yuan Wanqing's singer program first and deal with the recent singing invitations.
Now that the end of the period is approaching, I also said that the second-hand car at home can be used again, so I should buy it after the New Year.
It can only be said that I used to live frugally, but now that my family has money, they are reluctant to spend it.
Li Luo also understood his parents' thoughts, but he had no intention of insisting on correcting them.
After all, the concept of money has always been easy to change from frugality to luxury, but difficult to change from luxury to frugality.
He had only been reborn for less than two years. Although the changes in his parents were obvious, it didn't hurt to lag behind in terms of spending money.
However, Li Guohong's idea is also very simple.
When Li Luo was called by Lin Xiuhong to go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, Li Guohong whispered to Xu Rongsheng: "Actually, I'm not really reluctant to part with that little money."
"If I were myself, earning hundreds of thousands or millions every month, I would buy this million-plus car with a wave of my hand."
"But now it is my son who is making money. Even if it is bought in the name of the company, I am not sure how to spend it. After all, he earned it by his own skills, and we, the couple, did not help much."
"Besides, writing a book is something that may change in the future. It would be more practical to save more money."
"Do you think so?"
After hearing what Li Guohong said, Xu Rongsheng nodded in agreement: "That's true, but if your car has been used for a long time, you should replace it with a new one."
"That's for sure, I know that too." Li Guohong nodded, "Isn't this the income from the hot pot restaurant? Then his company also gave me a salary. I have been saving for half a year now. After the New Year, I will probably have it.
A little less than two hundred thousand."
"I thought that I finally earned this money myself. Although I borrowed the help from my son, it is still my own income after all."
"When the time comes, I will buy a new car, and I will feel more at ease."
After hearing this, Xu Rongsheng was a little impressed with Li Guohong.
It can only be said that parents who can raise outstanding children like Li Luo are actually excellent themselves.
And this kind of excellence may not be reflected in the ability to make money, but in other aspects of doing things and being a person.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongsheng was somewhat moved. He looked at the back of Cui Suling who was busy in the kitchen and thought of what she said before.
Well...if my future son-in-law is Li Luo, it would be a beautiful idea for the two families to become one family.
Especially the relationship between Li Luo and his daughter... Xu Rongsheng recalled the last time he attended the symposium and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Cui Suling didn't know, but didn't Xu Rongsheng still know?
My daughter probably really likes this guy Li Luo.
Even in the book "The Age of Literature and Art", the further you look at it, the more the male protagonist resembles the character of Li Luo.
Not to mention those very explicit plots... My daughter is really quite mature in this regard.
Xu Rongsheng smiled helplessly, then looked at Ying Chanxi, who was helping in the kitchen, and Yan Zhusheng, who had just walked out of the piano room, and sighed slightly.
The only problem is that Li Luo is a bit of a magnet.
If she were an ordinary little girl, Xu Rongsheng would still be quite confident in her daughter.
To be continued...
