"You want to send me ten thousand words, but you are sending me a beggar!"
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Russell suddenly became angry. He pointed at Lin Ruo and wanted to curse, but when the curse words came to his lips, he swallowed them alive. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lin Ruo, don't go too far.
, I also have a temper."
"Oh..." Lin Ruo said oh when she heard this, her expression seemed to say, "What does that have to do with the manuscript I want to urge you to write?"
"You -" Russell suddenly became even more angry. He took a deep breath, looked at Lin Ruo and said viciously: "Your new book is gone."
"This time, even if you lock me in a dark room, don't expect me to write another word."
Lin Ruo blinked, as if he finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He then took a sip of tea and said: "Sorry, I was just in a bad mood. In fact, your latest chapter was very good, considering its quality.
, ten thousand words is completely enough.”
"Ha!" Russell sneered and didn't look at him. He went to the seat next to him and sat down. At the same time, he poured himself a glass of water to calm down his anger.
"I heard from Bu Luo that your recent investment has encountered a cash flow problem." Lin Ruo didn't care about Russell's attitude and said calmly, "Maybe you need some sponsorship?"
Although the Church of Steam has begun to pay attention to Russell, this attention is basically reflected in the importance and support for Russell's research and inventions, the back door opened to Russell in various types of knowledge, and the priority when applying for promotion.
Wait, instead of actually turning into a nanny, taking care of Russell's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then giving him countless gold pounds to squander.
So although this kind of attention has brought Russell many benefits, it still cannot solve some problems, such as lack of money.
After all, the amount of reimbursement is limited, and the Church of Steam is not taken advantage of and will not provide unlimited money to Russell.
So after hearing Lin Ruo's words, Russell's hand holding the cup suddenly froze, and he heard Lin Ruo continue:
"How about ten thousand gold coins? If it's not enough, I don't mind adding more later."
Hey, I'm so rich... Russell's fingertips trembled, but he still said in a cold voice: "Am I the kind of person who would bend down for ten thousand gold pounds?"
"Well, you're not." Lin Ruo put down the tea cup and heard that Russell's subtext was "I need more money." He continued unhurriedly: "So is 20,000 gold coins enough?"
To the angel of judgment, money is just a number.
Therefore, Lin Ruo will not be stingy at all if he can do things with money.
Russell's fingertips trembled again. He drank all the water in the cup, then looked at Lin Ruo and said seriously:
"...I won't take advantage of you either. For the money you invest, I will pay you dividends based on the shares. From a long-term perspective, you will definitely make a profit."
"Then please help me use this money to establish a charity to support children who have no fathers or mothers." Lin Ruo replied with a smile.
Hey, don't you think I'm very unloving... Russell muttered in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you don't feel bad about the money then." At the same time, he also made up his mind to wait in the future.
The charity was established and he invested some money into it.
"Hmm..." Lin Ruo blinked, but after all, she said nothing more that was in Zarosel's heart.
After all, it will be very troublesome to smooth the hair if it really arouses it again.
Lin Ruo is still waiting for Lindsay Russell's output. She is really furious. Doesn't he have no books to read?
"So what happened to you before that made you feel so bad that you took your anger out on me?" Russell, who Mao had finally smoothed over, finally found time to pay attention to this matter, and asked curiously and angrily.
"Do you really want to know?" Lin Ruo held her chin with one hand and smiled brightly.
Russell suddenly felt a sense of danger and quickly shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing this."
"Haha..." Seeing his sincere performance, Lin Ruo was immediately amused, and then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just met people I didn't want to see and recalled some things I didn't want to hear."
This doesn't sound like it's nothing at all... Russell complained in his heart. Although he was still a little curious, he didn't ask anymore.
Lin Ruo took a sip of tea, then thought of something and looked at Russell, asking: "I heard Bu Luo said you are getting married soon?"
"...Why does Archbishop Buluo tell you everything?" Although they haven't been together for too long, Russell, who is obviously used to Lin Ruo's jumping thinking, complained, but he couldn't help but think of his fiancée Mattie.
Erda's mood suddenly improved, she nodded and said: "On the fifteenth day of next month, it will be my wedding to Miss Matilda."
Although Russell was initially resistant to this fiancée, after meeting her in person, Russell quickly chose Zhenxiang.
Although he still may not like his fiancée very much, let alone love at first sight, Russell is undoubtedly satisfied with Matilda, his future wife.
"So you are getting married in less than a month, but you didn't invite me to your wedding. Oh, this is really sad." Lin Ruo said with a sad expression.
Russell:……
Do you really have no idea why I didn’t invite you?
Who would invite someone to their wedding who would never stop talking about drafts when they meet?
And can your expression be more fake?
Russell had countless words in his heart that he wanted to vomit, but in essence, he was in the wrong. After all, he had known Lin Ruo for more than half a year. Although every time they met, they were always in a hurry. The basic topic was except urging manuscripts.
I urged you to write, but you can still call me a friend.
Since we are already friends, it would really not be a good idea not to invite each other to the wedding.
So Russell thought about it and said, "Should I write an extra two thousand words in the next chapter as an apology?"
"I regard you as a good friend, but you didn't invite me to your wedding. Is this a problem that can be solved in two thousand words?" Lin Ruo looked at Russell, her attitude was also very obvious.
"Four thousand." Russell reported a number.
"Two chapters." Lin Ruo reported another number.
"You might as well go and grab it!" Russell gritted his teeth and said.
"Aren't I just robbing someone?" Lin Ruo replied with a smile, fully embodying what it means to be unreasonable and unforgiving.
"Impossible, eight thousand at most, not one more word." Russell refused with a very firm attitude.
"Okay, eight thousand then. I'll check it when I submit the manuscript next time." Seeing his resolute attitude, Lin Ruo didn't insist anymore. After all, for him, he would make money if he read one more word.
It’s just a matter of making more or less.
"It sounds like you never checked." Russell curled his lips and said angrily.
Lin Ruo immediately laughed and said nothing.
He then put down the teacup, thought of something again, and reminded: "By the way, has little Zaratul secretly contacted you recently?"
