“Hello, are you the screenwriter, Beanie?” One of them stepped forward and introduced himself, “My surname is Qian, and I’m currently Cao Yuezhi’s agent. The person next to me is Wang Entertainment’s lawyer. I’d like to talk to you about Yuezhi’s new movie.”

Agent Qian looked at Beanie’s dilapidated apartment and was secretly speechless.

It was another poor little screenwriter.

He had been in the industry for many years, and he had seen too many poor but talented screenwriters. As long as he gave them some money, he could easily keep their mouths shut.

Beanie’s heart was beating excitedly.

Goddess Yuezhi did not lie to her!

“There’s a coffee shop nearby. Let’s go there and talk,” Agent Qian said.

Beanie nodded quickly and followed the two men into the coffee shop nearby. Agent Qian ordered three cups of coffee and surveyed the environment around him. He then went straight to the point. “You claim to be the original author of ‘South Wind Intoxication’. Do you have any evidence of this? You can show it to the lawyer.”

Beanie was already prepared. She handed the folder over.

The lawyer looked at the contents of the document carefully. After a moment, he nodded at Agent Qian.

Agent Qian coughed slightly and took out a contract. “Miss Beanie, as compensation, we will pay you 30,000 yuan. We hope that you can sign a confidentiality agreement and not publicize this matter.”

The excited expression on Beanie’s face froze.

She flipped through the contract. There were all kinds of rules and regulations that she could not understand. One of them was that if she violated the contract, she would have to pay a million yuan in liquidated damages.

Beanie was a little uncertain. Her fingers were trembling. “Th-Thirty thousand…

B-But this is my work. I want my name to be written on the screen and credited.”

Her creations are her life!

She can’t just let somebody steal her work!

She stayed in the rented house, ate instant noodles, and worked hard to write the script. She didn’t want her work to be plagiarized, not for a measly 30,000 yuan. She wanted more people to know that it was her work.

“Miss Beanie, this is the biggest concession the company can make,” Agent Qian said with a straight face, “You’re just an amateur screenwriter. You’re not popular.

It’s already a great honor for your work to be filmed and acted by Cao Yuezhi.”

“You’re still young and have a long life ahead of you. Why do you have to offend a big company for a small script?”

“Believe me, if you don’t sign this agreement, you’ll never be able to survive in the screenwriting industry in the future.”

Agent Qian was indeed an experienced person. He hid a knife in his words and used both soft and hard tactics.

She was just a small screenwriter. It would be easier for the company to crush her than to crush an ant.

Beanie bit the corner of her mouth, after a long while, she said, “I… I must have my own work signed by me! I don’t want this 30,000 yuan, I only want justice! He obviously copied my work, why should I shut up?”

Agent Qian sneered, naive!

“Miss Beanie, you can keep the contract. I hope you will consider it carefully.”

Agent Qian slowly stood up and patted the dust that did not exist on his clothes, “If you are willing, I can give you 30,000 yuan. If you are not, Miss Beanie, the adult world is very cruel.”

In the cold winter, the cold wind blew in from the window, causing Beanie to tremble.

She stammered, “Yuezhi… does Cao Yuezhi know about this? She… She said she would give me an explanation.’n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Is 30,000 not enough?” The agent smiled..
