Chapter 25: Thanks, Sunday!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sunflower was completely impressed by what Wang Hao said!
Sunflower: “I got it, Sunday! You’re a genius! After listening to your opinion, it doesn’t feel right to me either! No wonder the emotion wasn’t strong enough when the protagonist says ‘Every dog has its day!’ I’ll make the amendments right away! Wait for a while, Sunday. It’ll be ready soon!”
Sunflower went back to work and Wang Hao took a deep breath. He was so glad that he read quite a lot of novels in his previous life, so he knew how to make them look better. If he directly published the version which Sunflower had written on the website, it wouldn’t even obtain 1/10 of the original result.
It would be a shame if they turned an incredible novel into rubbish. If so, he’d rather not do it at all.
Wang Hao suddenly remembered the message from the woman, and he quickly sent a reply. “I’ve received your computer. Its quality is a bit too high. I don’t think I deserve it.”
Wang Hao took a sip of water after sending the message. In just an instant, the woman replied.
Icy Heart: “That’s great. Why did you only reply after such a long time? I’ve read your novel. It’s pretty nice. Are there any more chapters?”
Sunday Wang: “I put my phone on vibrate mode. That’s why I missed the message. Just wait for a while. I have some wonderful ideas today and I’ve made quite some progress. I’ll send it to you later. Do you have an email address or QQ account? I can’t send a document on WeChat.”
This time, the woman hesitated slightly, before saying, “Add my QQ, 66888888.”
This f*cking tycoon number…
Wang Hao had a lot on his mind. After adding each other’s account, they continued talking on QQ.
Sunday Wang: “Did you enjoy reading my novel?”
Icy Heart: “Yes, it’s nice. I didn’t have anything else to do today, so I just had a quick look.”
Wang Hao snickered — how evasive! Would you be rushing me for more chapters if you only had a quick look?
Sunday Wang: “I’m happy you like it, haha. When I finish these chapters, I’ll send them to you altogether. Anyway, your computer set is terrific. I’m a bit afraid to use it.”
Icy Heart: “It’s nothing. I hope you like it.”
Sunday Wang: “I do, I really do. Did you know it only takes five seconds to turn on? A seven star supercomputer!”
Icy Heart: “Hm.”
Clearly, Wang Hao had no idea what to say to that. Both of them suddenly fell silent.
Luckily, the awkwardness didn’t last. Sunflower sent him a message.
Sunflower: “Sunday, I’ve made some amendments. You see if it’s alright!”
Sunday Wang: “Okay, I’ll look at it now.”
Wang Hao had to admit that Sunflower had extraordinary powers of perception and could quickly understand what other people wanted. The improvements Wang Hao told him to make were perfectly realized in his writing. The revised version looked much smoother, and the added hatred had successfully bumped up the emotions in the story!
This time, when Wang Hao read the scene where Xiao Yan shouted, “Every dog has its day,” he hit his lap fiercely. “Awesome! That’s it!”
Wang Hao heaved a contented sigh once he finished reading it.
Sunday Wang: “Perfect! Definitely perfect! Hahaha! Well done! Shall we talk about the contract then?”
Sunflower: “It’s good? Haha, wonderful! Sunday, you’re so talented! I’d work with you forever! Sunday, since I’ve done a fair job writing this novel, can you offer me a higher salary if it becomes a hit? What about 15 yuan per 1000 words?”
Wang Hao was speechless. This kid is kind — I can’t be unjust too, can I?
Sunday Wang: “Deal! When the novel is published, I’ll pay you 15 yuan per 1000 words. Once it gets popular, I’ll give you your share.”
Sunflower: “Great! Thanks, Sunday! You really have to guide me and give me some comments. Without your advice, I’d have ruined such a good novel. I’d never be able to come up with ideas like yours, no matter how hard I try.”
Sunday Wang: “Don’t worry, I’ll fulfill your request! Okay, I’ll send you a contract. You print it out and we’ll meet some other day. I still have a lot of ideas. If our collaboration goes well this time, I’ll offer you a 50/50 share for the next novel. I promise I’ll be fair to you!”
Sunflower: “Thanks, Sunday! Let’s do it!”
Since they had confirmed the details of the contract, what Wang Hao had to do next was search for a contract template, then change it a little and send it to Sunflower. Their collaboration would go smoothly once they took this crucial step.
Of course, Wang Hao didn’t forget to send the woman the revised chapters.
Sunday Wang: “I’ve sort of finished them. You want to have a look?”
Icy Heart: “Okay, let me see.”
…
Zhonghai Binhai Villas, in the woman’s villa.
The woman lay on her bed, holding her phone. She was reading the chapters Wang Hao had just sent her.
She was wearing a white slip and lying under the blanket with her fair little feet exposed. Coupled with the soul-stirring curves of her body, she seemed a bit lazy, but also attractive.
She had a sharp nose and a pair of bright eyes. Her features showed her maturity and a touch of innocence. Although her whole face couldn’t be seen clearly in the dim light, her perfectly proportioned shadow was proof of her beauty.
“Nalan Yanran…” The woman had fallen in love with the novel since the first chapter, so she read the chapters attentively, word by word. When she reached the scene where Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, she frowned and said, “Even though he’s a loser now, he was once a genius! Why can’t you give him a chance?”
