Chapter 438 Four-person Hot Spring
In the master bedroom bathroom on the third floor, Li Luo took a simple rinse and changed into fresh clothes.
Seeing that Butler Liu hadn't come to call him to eat yet, Li Luo sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, coded for a while and relaxed.
By the way, I took a look at the messages on QQ to see if there was anything important.
As a result, I saw the message from the editor Qianzhou.
[Qianzhou]: The people from the Copyright Department want your contact information. I gave you your phone number and QQ, saying that if there are any subsequent copyright negotiations, I will notify you in advance.
[Reignited]: Oh, I know this. The editor-in-chief talked to me about it before.
[Qianzhou]: Okay, you’ll be fine if you know it. If everything goes well and the copyright is sold, you will probably be platinum at the next annual meeting, and you are still an 18-year-old platinum master!
[Reignited]: Cough...why do you feel you are more excited than me?
[Qianzhou]: Isn’t this exciting? If you ask other editors, they will probably not be able to produce a platinum 18-year-old under their thumb after being an editor their whole life.
[Reignited]: So do you have a bonus?
[Qianzhou]: It must be true. If you have a master and a platinum player, the proportion of commission bonuses can be permanently increased. This is all money.
【Reignited】: If she works hard and gives her more resources to go to bed early, she will become a great master in the next book.
[Qianzhou]: Haha! Then I must be optimistic about her, but you are also very kind to your girlfriend by privately soliciting resources for her.
[Reignited]: You are wrong. I am doing you a favor by pointing out a path for your commission bonus, but there is no need to say thank you. I don’t care about this either.
[Qianzhou]: ...You have something to say about your writing skills, but your shame is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
After a brief chat with the editor, Li Luo ended the topic, then thought about it and called lawyer Tian Litian.
After communicating on the phone, the two initially reached a verbal agreement.
When someone from the Copyright Department of Wenyue Group came over, Li Luo pushed Lawyer Tian over and asked the other party to communicate with Lawyer Tian later.
Anyway, his positioning for "Little Joy" is very clear, which is to use the endorsement of the Qidian platform to establish his own copyright value.
According to what the platinum boss mentioned to him before, it is much easier for an author to sell new copyrights once he successfully sells them than for other authors.
If the copyrights sold and the film and television works adapted can still achieve good results.
Then this is not a question of whether the copyright is easy to sell, but a question of how high the price can be raised, and how many companies are fighting privately to grab it.
For Li Luo, it was an unexpected surprise to be able to write a book called "I'm Really Not a Star" with over 50,000 subscriptions.
Originally, he just wanted to write a book and save money first. With a start-up capital, he could open an account to invest in stocks when he became an adult.
In his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to the stock market. He only occasionally listened to Xu Youyu's instructions on stock trading.
Relying on the ability of the memory palace, we can still know the general trend of certain stocks in the future.
And with the investment experience Xu Youyu provided him, regardless of whether he would make money or not, at least he could perfectly avoid those cancer stocks that Xu Youyu had invested in.
However, all of this was deflected by the unexpected song "Rings of the Year".
Not only relying on this original song, but also through Yan Zhusheng’s relationship, I got in touch with Yuan Wanqing.
With this linkage between reality and novel content, a certain circle-breaking effect was achieved for the first time.
And this effect also reached an unprecedented peak in the subsequent collaborations with Yuan Wanqing.
So much so that the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" brought Li Luo far more profits than expected.
At the same time, it also opened another door to wealth and freedom for him.
If you can make big money early, who would be willing to wait until later?
Look at it now.
If they hadn’t made money in advance, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong would probably still be busy in the breakfast shop right now.
Where can I be freed from the heavy work and enjoy the wonderful life of retirement in advance like now?
When he thought of the smiles on his parents' faces today, and the overall changes in their spirits after giving up the breakfast shop for nearly a year, Li Luo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and his mood was particularly bright. .
Rebirth...isn't that what it's for?
...
At six-thirty in the evening, Butler Liu went upstairs to invite them to the restaurant for dinner.
After a while, Li Luo and his group went downstairs and sat down in the restaurant.
After confirming that Li Luo and the others were all present, Butler Liu clapped his hands in the direction of the kitchen, and the maids began to serve the dishes.
“This is Yanglan fish in sour soup. It is a fish soup made from the two sea fish caught by Mr. Li, supplemented by sour bean fruits, tomatoes, sour bamboo shoots and sour carambolas. It tastes very good. Delicious.”
Butler Liu stood aside and pointed to one of the dishes after introducing it, and then pointed to another plate of fish, "This is the steamed grouper, the one caught by Mr. Xu. Because it tastes fresh and tender, it only needs to be steamed." It’s delicious.”
After a brief introduction, Butler Liu excused himself and left without disturbing them to taste the delicious food.
Li Guohong couldn't wait to take a bite of the fish he caught, and then said with a satisfied look on his face: "This thing I caught is delicious. It tastes really good. You guys should try it too."
After that, he gave himself a bowl of fish soup first, and then tasted the steamed grouper, and couldn't help but praise it again.
Halfway through the meal, Xu Rongsheng brought the topic of chatting at the table to the book "Little Joy".
After learning that Li Luo's "Little Joy" was likely to have sold the copyright, Xu Rongsheng was slightly surprised, but immediately nodded and said: "If it can be made into a TV series, I think it will be quite good, at least your Aunt Cui I should like to watch it very much."
"How do you know that I like to watch it?" Cui Suling asked in confusion.
"You can even watch TV dramas with inferior plots." Xu Rongsheng glanced at her, "Then Li Luo's drama will definitely not be worse than those."
Cui Suling : "...You said this as if I have bad taste."
"That's not true." Xu Youyu interjected from the side, and Cui Suling was so angry that she almost couldn't hold back and exposed her on the first day.
"But the copyright is still being negotiated, so I'm not sure what will happen." Li Luo said with a smile, "And even if it is sold, it will definitely be a long time before it is actually filmed and released. It’s too early to say this now.”
“You can ask my dad during the Chinese New Year,” Ying Chanxi said from the side, “Let them have more companies. Just buy your copyright with the money. In the end, it will basically be the shareholders who will make more money.”
Li Luo: “…It doesn’t have to be like this.”
< br>If the board of directors is made aware of Ying Zhicheng's manipulation, not only will he be able to hold the position of general manager, but he may also be involved in a lawsuit.
I can only say that Ying Chanxi is really Ying Zhicheng’s caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Just when I met Li Luo, there was a slight leak.
After dinner, the eight people had enough to eat and drink, so they came to the second floor, intending to eat some food first.
Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng were a little tired from fishing in the afternoon, so they planned to get a massage first.
Li Luo and others accompanied the two mothers into the mahjong room.
Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu were playing with them, while Li Luo and Ying Chanxi were playing with them.
Xu Youyu sat between Cui Suling and Li Luo, watching them play cards, looking here and there.
When Li Luo was struggling with which card to play, Xu Youyu whispered: "Play nine."
Hearing this, Cui Suling was speechless: "You girl , how to eat inside and outside? Can you still talk after knowing my cards?”
“I’m just suggesting, what if I ask him to play the cards you want?” Xu Youyu said seriously, finally. He only got a blank look from Cui Suling.
However, while playing mahjong, Lin Xiuhong laughed a little: "I thought we were traveling, but in the end we played a lot of mahjong."
"The most important thing about traveling is who you go out with and having fun. Everything else is secondary." Li Luo typed nine words beside him, "We are here to have fun, and we don't have to go somewhere." It’s considered a trip to Qiongzhou City.” “Yes, I think so.” Xu Youyu nodded and said, “Traveling is about having fun. To be honest, most of these scenic spots are boring. The point is that we go out together. Play.”
Because the few times I traveled in my previous life, I always went out with Xu Youyu.
So Li Luo was also influenced by Xu Youyu in terms of his attitude towards tourism, and was disgusted and repulsed by special forces-style check-in tours to various scenic spots.
I prefer the feeling of taking my time and following my own pace.
If you are traveling just to go to popular scenic spots to watch the excitement and take pictures with the crowds, then it is really better to stay at home and blow on the air conditioner, and find friends to play cards and drink. .
On this point, Xu Youyu obviously agreed with Li Luo. After hearing what Li Luo said, he immediately agreed.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Luo with a smile in his eyes. It was obvious that Xu Youyu was very happy at this another agreement of views.
This feeling of having the other person agree with me no matter what I do is so comfortable.
......
I played mahjong with the two mothers for more than an hour. After Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng came back from the massage, the four little ones got up and left, and the two fathers took over the game.
Li Guohong sat on Li Luo's seat, opened the drawer of the mahjong table, took a look at it, and suddenly said speechlessly: "You have almost lost, and you only have one chip left?"
" It's fun when it's challenging, dad, come on, we're leaving first." Li Luo said with a smile at the door, turned around and walked away.
The four of them returned to the third floor. Xu Youyu clapped his hands and said, "I just told Butler Liu that hot water has been put in the indoor hot springs over there. Let's take a shower, put on our swimsuits, and go directly there. That's fine."
"Hurry up and change." Li Luo said, "I'll wait for you inside after I finish changing."
" OK," Xu Youyu said. He gestured with the question and walked towards his bedroom.
Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng also returned to the bedroom immediately.
Seeing the backs of the three girls, Li Luo slowly walked back to the room, took a shower, changed into swimming trunks, put on his bathrobe and went downstairs to the door of the indoor hot spring.
At this time, a maid was already waiting here. She took the initiative to open the door of the indoor hot spring, invited Li Luo to enter, and briefly explained some things that needed attention.
This indoor hot spring has a large space. The pool alone is about ten square meters. The main body is square, but it is surrounded by rockery rocks. It looks very much like an outdoor natural hot spring. What a hot spring looks like.
There are four water outlets on the four corners of the pool, all shaped like stone lions. They are actually hot water filtering devices that can keep the hot water in the pool constantly circulating and maintain the water temperature.
Because the indoor hot spring room is located in a corner of the villa facing the sea, the walls facing the sea on both sides were directly penetrated to make two sides of floor-to-ceiling glass.
After opening the curtains, you can instantly see the sea and moonlight at night.
The entire field of view has been broadened countless times, as if it is not indoors, but a hot spring at the beach.
I can only say that the big boss will still enjoy it.
When Li Luo came to the edge of the pool, the maid who sent him in asked if she wanted to provide fruit drinks.
Li Luo nodded to express his need, and then watched the maid come to the edge of the pool. She didn't know which button she pressed, and heard a burst of bubbling in the water. A round stone slowly rose up from the water in the center of the pool. The table made Li Luo look at it for a while.
"So high-tech?" Li Luo glanced at the stone table and saw that there was a chess board carved on it. He was surprised and asked, "Is it possible that chess can still be played on this?"
"Yes." The maid on the side smiled and nodded. , "The boss likes to play chess, so he specially made this table in the pool. If you need it, I can bring you the chess pieces later."
"That's my trouble." After listening to it, Li Luo was very happy and said that he really had to give it a try.
“Okay, no problem.” The maid nodded, and then added, “There are four stone chairs around the table, but they can’t be seen clearly in the water. Please be careful when you get into the water. .”
"Okay, thank you for reminding me."
After sending away the maid, Li Luo was the only one in this indoor hot spring for the time being.
He took off his yukata and hung it on the hanger nearby. Then he came to the hot spring pool, took off his slippers, stepped on the steps and crossed the edge, and entered the hot spring water.
As the hot water covered his knees and thighs, Li Luo let out a long sigh of relief and finally sat completely in the water, leaving only his head outside.
"It's so comfortable..." In the afternoon, I recorded material on the beach, played volleyball, and then played in the sand. I was really a little tired.
At this time, as soon as I soaked in the hot water, the fatigue in my whole body was immediately swept away, as if my spirit and soul had been infiltrated.
Li Luo enjoyed it for a while, then remembered the maid's reminder just now, so he tried to get close to the stone table in the center of the pool and groped around it.
Sure enough, I touched a stone pier in the water.
Li Luo sat down on the stone pier and sat next to the stone table. The water surface could reach his chest. He put his hands on the stone table. The height was just right.
The thickness of the stone table is about as thick as a fist, about three-quarters of it is exposed to the air, and the remaining part is still hidden under the water.
If you look at it from a distance, you might think it is a stone slab floating on the water.
This is the first time Li Luo has seen this kind of hot spring design. He has never seen anything like this even in various animations and film and television dramas.
Not to mention the EDITION hotel where Xu Youyu and I stayed together before. Although there was a bathtub in the room, it was obviously far behind compared to this one.
It can only be said that rich people still know how to play, and they can also build hot spring pools directly according to their own needs.
In fact, the big boss may only come once or twice a year. At other times, the villa is completely vacant.
Lending him the private villa for free this time is actually a reasonable use of resources.
Li Luo was thinking about this, and after a while, the door to the indoor hot spring was opened again.
Yan Zhusheng, wearing a bathrobe, walked in from the outside. When she saw Li Luo soaking in it, she immediately took off her bathrobe, crossed her long legs, and walked into the hot spring pool.
At this time, Yan Zhusheng had already changed into a swimsuit. The pink upper body swimming cover still had a ruffled design, which perfectly modified Yan Zhusheng's flaws.
But this time it is no longer a one-piece swimming skirt, but a split design. The lower body only wears a briefs similar to Xu Youyu's before.
The only slight difference is that her swimming trunks still have side straps, which can be easily removed by simply pulling them from the side.
However, these are obviously not the focus.
When Yan Zhusheng walked into the hot spring and came to Li Luo, the hot spring water covered her knees and exposed most of her thigh skin.
In Li Luo's eyes, it looked like the kind of ham sausage that was pulled apart with two sticks, pretending to be a pair of beautiful legs. It was pink and delicate, making people want to take a bite.
It looks delicious at first glance.
"Li Luo, do you look good?" Yan Zhusheng blinked and noticed Li Luo's gaze on her thigh, and showed it to him without mind, "Do you want to touch it?"
"Ahem... That's unnecessary."
"It's okay." Yan Zhusheng took Li Luo's hand and touched it on his leg.
Li Luo was forced to pinch her thigh meat a few times. It felt so good that he couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
As a result, at this moment, Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi also pushed the door in from the outside and saw the scene in front of them——
Yan Zhusheng stood in the hot spring pool with his back to them.
Li Luo was sitting in the water, stroking Yan Zhusheng's thighs with his hands, most of his body being blocked by Yan Zhusheng.
Fortunately, Li Luo reacted quickly. After hearing the movement at the door, he immediately held Yan Zhusheng's thighs with both hands. He groped around with his feet in the water and found another stone pier. Said:
"Stand firm, come this way, yes, yes, yes, there is a stone chair here, just sit down, be careful not to hit your legs."
While saying Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu and Ying Chanxi at the door and said calmly: "Why are you standing there? Come in."
