Mrs. Lu loves you to death

Chapter 193

At noon, just after finishing my meal, I received a message from Wang Ruohan

"Chen Zhiyu, won't you reconsider? The money you've earned in the past few months isn't even as much as the penalty for breach of contract. Besides, the novel is about to reach its climax. There's no need to disappoint your readers because of your little temper."

Chen Zhiyu looked at the WeChat message and was particularly suspicious about what Wang Ruohan and the company were planning. It was bad enough that she was a novice author and asked the editorial assistant to come and meet her in person, but looking at Wang Ruohan's attitude, she couldn't help but wonder if there was something going on behind the scenes.

"No, it's okay. I don't mind the money. Just send me the breach of contract information and the termination letter."

Wang Ruohan looked at the message. It was the first time for her to encounter such a situation. In the past, when it came to liquidated damages and termination letters, even the most capable authors would eventually compromise, even if they were reluctant. But now, she encountered such a tough situation.

"Chen Zhiyu. You are the most willful author I've ever taken on. Think about the fans who wait for your updates every day. If you give up halfway, they will be so disappointed in you."

Chen Zhiyu was really amused by her. She was not the Virgin Mary and did not have time to please everyone. She expressed her gratitude to those who liked her books, and there was nothing she could do about those who did not like them. After all, it was their mouths that were on their bodies, and they could say good or bad things just by opening their mouths. She wanted everyone to take this into consideration. Was she crazy?

"Then let them be disappointed. I will find other ways to express my gratitude to them for accompanying me for more than a hundred days and nights."

Wang Ruohan knew Chen Zhiyu had made up her mind, but she was unwilling to give in.

"I know you're not short of money, but have you ever thought that not everyone has a family as well off as you?"

Chen Zhiyu looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"You haven't thought about what will happen to those fans who rewarded you for your books, who topped up their accounts on the website. If you suddenly remove your books from the shelves, it's not just about money for them. Novels are about desire. They like your books, you're tempting their desires, and you're collecting their money. Can you just feel at ease removing them from the shelves?"

Wang Ruohan's relentless attitude further confirmed her doubts, but she didn't have the time to worry about so many things.

"I'm not a saint, I can't be compassionate to all living beings, and you know I have plenty of money. In this case, I can find someone to do free advertising myself. Then, whether it's a new reader or a long-time reader, they can all read the book for free. Wouldn't that be better for them?"

Wang Ruohan was speechless after being confronted by her. She was originally eloquent but could not find any words to refute.

After a long silence, Chen Zhiyu said, "If there is nothing else, I will hang up. What I said today is my word."

Then he hung up the phone.

Wang Ruohan hesitated for a long time with her phone before calling the editor-in-chief.

"Editor-in-Chief, Chen Zhiyu is determined to terminate our contract."

An irritable voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you a pig? I asked you to come over to sign a contract with her. Tell me, what did you do to make her want to terminate the contract? Although her novel is not finished, she has already contacted the film and television company to understand the situation. Don't you know this? How much money will the company lose if the contract is terminated at this time? Do you have any brains?"

Wang Ruohan was scolded and didn't dare to breathe. Although the contract was drafted by the company, most of the work was done by her. At least Chen Zhiyu seemed to be indifferent to the royalties. After communicating with her many times, he thought she was easy to fool, so he had this unequal cooperation to exploit her. He never expected that she would not only not be fooled, but now proposed to terminate the contract.

"Editor-in-Chief, I will negotiate with Chen Zhiyu again."

The man snorted coldly, "If it's not resolved, you don't have to come back."
