Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 837 - 836: Sounding Them Out

Seeing Zhen Yu’s mood suddenly drop, Han Mingyue thought she was feeling regret for missing the opportunity.

So he quickly reached out and hugged her, comforting her while also comforting himself, saying, "Don’t be sad. It’s not like missing this chance means there won’t be any more opportunities."

Zhen Yu pondered for a moment, "Hmm... That’s true! But I still feel we should try gauging their intentions."

Han Mingyue agreed indifferently, "Then let’s do as you say! I’ll call them later and set up a meeting."

Zhen Yu quickly responded, "I want to go with you!"

"Sure!" Han Mingyue agreed without hesitation, "But tonight, we have to go to my house. My mom called asking us to come eat dumplings."

Zhen Yu nodded, "Oh. Eh? Where’s my brother? Why isn’t he home?"

"I called him; he just said he had something to do and wouldn’t be home for dinner, but didn’t mention specifics."

"Well, just leave him be!"

Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue both had their suspicions; more likely than not, the so-called matter involved Mrs. Zhen, but neither mentioned it.

After Han Mingyue made the call, he informed Zhen Yu, "It’s set for tomorrow noon at Da San Garden."

Zhen Yu teased, "Are they treating us?"

Han Mingyue replied, "Yes!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Come on, let’s quickly discuss! How can we avoid drinking tomorrow, preferably getting them drunk instead..."

"That might be difficult! How about bringing Zhen Yan along? He can drink quite a bit..."

Han Mingyue had no qualms about selling out his brother-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yu’s eyes lit up!

"Sounds good! My brother can handle the drinking, and you manage the conversation..."

——

For the entire afternoon, the two were busy with training classes and other self-study activities.

After eating dumplings at the Han Family home and returning to her own, Zhen Yu routinely logged into the background of Taobao to check.

Perhaps because she hadn’t spent money on advertising or recommendations! Even though the shop had been open for some days, there hadn’t been a single order until then...

Finally, that night, the online shop officially opened for business.

Taking the first step at last, Zhen Yu naturally felt quite delighted!

So she immediately turned to Han Mingyue, who was waiting behind her to use the computer, joyfully saying, "I got an order!"

Han Mingyue was also genuinely happy for Zhen Yu, "Yes! You got an order! It’s a good start!"

"Let me see... Wow? There are quite a few orders! Look at this! A total of six sets! Do you think they’re for a year-end performance use?"

As Zhen Yu checked the order details, she muttered casually.

Then she pulled open the desk drawer, took out a blank sheet of paper and a pen to start jotting down the product names and the items included in the buy one get five free package.

After copying them down, Zhen Yu immediately stood up excitedly! "Go ahead and use the computer! I’ve got packing to do!"

Han Mingyue instinctively said, "I’ll help you,"

But Zhen Yu only left him her back as she casually waved behind and threw back, "No need!"

Then she walked straight out of the bedroom.

Seeing this, Han Mingyue smiled and directly sat in front of the computer.

Before long, he was immersed in the world of novels.

Perhaps infected by her good mood, he unknowingly completed the hardest first three Chapters that night.

——

The next morning, Zhen Yu went to attend her usual training class.

Close to noon, Zhen Yan and Han Mingyue mailed the six sets of Hanfu according to the address Zhen Yu left, then went directly to join her.

The three purposefully delayed on their way, arriving at the restaurant front exactly at twelve noon.

"Welcome! How many are there in your party?"

As soon as the trio pushed the door open, a hostess in a qipao with nude-colored tights bowed and asked.

Han Mingyue immediately responded, "We have a reservation! The other party’s last name is Wang! Let me make a quick call!"

No sooner had he said that, just as the hostess was about to answer "Alright," a man suddenly came from the direction of the private rooms!

"Excuse me... Which of you three is Mr. Han?"

"That would be me! You must be Chief Editor Wang!" Han Mingyue stepped forward, bent slightly, and shook hands politely.

"Ah, well, our Chief Editor Wang is waiting for you in the private room! I’m an editor at Qihang Net; you can call me Editor Chen."

Mistaking the person didn’t faze Han Mingyue at all!

He quickly bent again, offered his hand politely, and apologized sincerely to Editor Chen: "Sorry about that, it’s a pleasure to meet you!"

Editor Chen happily shook hands with Han Mingyue again, then said, "Please follow me!"

Even though he didn’t understand why Han Mingyue brought two others, they were here, so he naturally led them over!

As for other matters, since the Chief Editor was present, a small editor like him wouldn’t have to worry about them...

——

In the private room sat two men, a host and a companion.

Seeing the group enter, they stood up immediately, expressing a warm welcome!

After a round of pleasantries, they determined that the person in the main seat was Chief Editor Wang, while the person beside him was the Deputy Editor.

Han Mingyue’s goal was clear! Once seated, he directly asked many questions regarding copyrights!

Such as whether they had someone dedicated to handling film and television rights, what usual prices were for similar book film rights previously acquired?

What are the proxy durations for newcomer film rights? What are the modes of agency and distribution percentages?

Also, whether he could participate in the adaptation and screenwriting work, etc.

These were materials Zhen Yu aided him in researching online before attending the meeting; they shared the acquired knowledge!

But Chief Editor Wang only smiled slightly and gracefully dodged the questions...

"Ah! You asked me quite a few questions there; I really have to explain them one by one! But honestly, I didn’t expect the renowned Ye Yueming in our online literature circle to be so young! Ah? Let me guess, did you graduate High School? Are you attending university? Which school are you studying at? I wonder, are you a local of the Capital city..."

Helplessly, Han Mingyue exchanged a look with Zhen Yu, seeing the same speechless expression in her eyes, he could only patiently keep pulling the topic back!

"I’m here to discuss collaboration! Such trivial details don’t need meticulous discussion now. Chief Editor Wang, just talk to me about the copyrights first..."

"No rush, no rush!"

Seeing Han Mingyue unwilling to reveal personal details, Mr. Wang directly shifted the topic! Focused on dining.

"Ah! Since we’re all here today, all the dishes are served, let’s eat first and then continue! You can’t talk business on a hungry stomach..."

Han Mingyue: "..."
