Chapter 306 - Missed Appointment
Chapter 306: Missed Appointment
Song Yaoyao half believed him. The more she looked at Huo Jiu, the more she sensed something wasn’t right.
“Really?”
Why didn’t she quite believe him?
Huo Jiu looked at her with sincerity and smiled. “Yes, Miss Song, I am one of your people. I am completely loyal to you!”
But I must listen to the Master first. Please believe me. I was forced!
Song Yaoyao: “…”
A thought crossed her mind, but when she tried to grab onto it, her brain was blank.
What had she missed?
…
“Yaoyao, over here!”
Inside a cafe on the pedestrian shopping street.
Song Yaoyao arrived at the agreed location. As soon as she entered, a hand raised high and waved at her.
“Hi, Miss Song.”
Yun Shuihan smiled politely. Even though Song Yaoyao looked young, she could not treat her like a child.
“Hello.”
Song Yaoyao nodded and sat down beside Tang Xinrou.
Meanwhile, Meng Qiqi sat down next to Yun Shuihan. Online, one could say anything they wanted, but in real life, Song Yaoyao and Tang Xinrou were actually quite intimidating.
Especially since they were both so beautiful. One was cute and delicate, the other was sexy and glamorous.
Countless youths secretly analyzed them as they walked past.
“What would you like to drink?”
Song Yaoyao ordered a cup of latte and pushed the menu over to Yun Shuihan.
Tang Xinrou furrowed her brows and took a glance at the watch on her wrist.
She didn’t sound too pleased, “Where is the representative that’s supposed to be here to discuss the copyright? Why aren’t they here yet?”
Although she didn’t care about business matters, she knew that trust was a basic requirement. If they couldn’t even arrive at the agreed time, how could they trust them with business?
Yun Shuihan felt a little awkward. It had been a long time since she spoke to someone from the website.
Even the editors had been changed several times. It wasn’t easy for her to contact the new editor and confirm things with Song Yaoyao. Only then did they agree to send a representative.
IP adaptations were popular these days and many popular television dramas were adapted from novels.
The website that Yun Shuihan used was very focused on this point.
They had agreed to meet at 9am and had reconfirmed the time. Everything was already set, so why now…
It was already past 9am.
The coffees arrived and Song Yaoyao added a large amount of milk to her drink as well as two cubes of sugar.
She swirled her coffee a little and said calmly, “Let’s just be patient and wait.”
But a trace of sharpness appeared in her eyes.
Time slowly passed and the four girls got along well.
But time ticked by and they sat there for an entire hour and a half without seeing anyone from Yulan Literature.
If Yun Shuihan still held onto some hope at the beginning, all that hope was now gone with the passing of time.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t disappointed.
Of course, she wanted to live some good days, and she wanted everyone to know about her novel. More importantly, she wanted to prove that her writing was no worse than the plagiarizer.
But now…
Reality had clearly given her a slap in the face and all hope was lost.
“Sorry, Miss Song…” Yun Shuihan was in a depressed mood and there was helplessness in her smile. “I don’t think we’ll be negotiating the copyright.”
If she was 10 years younger, she probably would have screamed in anger. She may have even turned up at the website’s office to question them. But she wasn’t young anymore. She was already 30.
