What stands in front of you is the famous North City Restaurant.

The first time I went to meet Gong Chengen with Mi Hu, Wang Qianqian, and Gong Ershao ordered the Beicheng restaurant. Later, Wang Qianqian intercepted it halfway and failed to make a trip. Unexpectedly, when I came here again today, Liu Jingting was secretly slandering the Gong brothers' unanimous taste. As a result, Wang Qianqian pointed out the truth in one sentence: "Isn't it just that your family has bought some stocks, and it can't get around it."

Gong Chengen smiled and didn't say anything. The waiter in front of the restaurant came up with a spring breeze, walked to Gong Chengen accurately and asked, "Sir, do you need to stop?"

Gong Chengen nodded, and then said to the two: "Let's go in."

As the saying goes, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the signature of a restaurant, and the Beicheng restaurant dominates the national catering industry. In addition to meticulous service, the appropriate interior layout and decoration and elegant environment all highlight the restaurant's low-key and luxurious taste. Of course, all of this is still not very meaningful to Liu Jingting. The instincts and leisure in his bones are influenced by countless works in his mind, which gradually forms a sense of alienation from external things.

It can be seen that reading more can really change a person's temperament, gradually approach the essence of the world, see more thoroughly, and remove the bonds in his heart, and become more casual. Finally, he learned that as the world's largest famous brand, there is no need to rely too much on all "famous brands" in the outside world.

However, the front desk staff did not seem to have this awareness. When she saw the three of them wearing, especially Liu Jingting's casual jacket, she reminded very politely: "The minimum consumption per person in this store is 2,500..."

Before she could finish her words, Gong Chengen took out a card from her clothes and handed it over. The waitress's face changed slightly, and she respectfully returned the card, moved away from her side, reached out to treat her, and said respectfully: "Young Master Gong, please come here."

Gong Chengen smiled and asked Wang Qianqian to leave first. Wang Qianqian sneered and walked in the front. Liu Jingting didn't understand the other and was not used to this kind of etiquette, nor was he pretending. With Gong Chengen's humility, he kept up with Wang Qianqian.

Gong Chengpin ordered a seat in a private room called Yishiju. The waitress led the three of them to the elevator. The other two waitresses came up with standard steps, drove the elevator for the three of them, and then took the three to the private room.

Pushing open two heavy wooden doors, a huge room appeared in front of you. A huge round table was placed in the center of the room. A young man in a black suit was sitting in the seat opposite the door, talking on the phone seriously. There were several sofas in the southwest of the round table, and a rectangular wooden table ten steps away to the east. A young male waiter stood next to the wooden table.

That black suit is naturally Gong Chengpin, the third generation of the Gong family.

Gong Chengpin realized that someone was coming in and spoke a little faster. "Dispose this first and talk about other things tonight." After that, he hung up the phone, then stood up from his seat and greeted Liu Jingting.

Although Liu Jingting realized that he had gradually reached the state of being unstoppable and unscathing after coming to this world, when he watched Gong Chengpin walk towards him, he couldn't help but secretly praise: "As a great man from a wealthy family, it is really surprising that his method of dealing with people can be carved to such precision."

"I am Cheng'en's eldest brother Gong Chengpin." Gong Chengpin stretched out his hand when he was three steps away from Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting was completely unaccustomed to this social form and couldn't help but want to laugh, but in the end he still reached out to shake the eldest son of the Gong family.

"Please sit."

After completing the polite handshake of the first meeting, Gong Chengpin began to act like a host and said, "I don't know what dishes Mr. Gu likes to eat and what dishes should he avoid?"

Although it was the first time Liu Jingting had a meal at a restaurant of this level, he had also seen relevant descriptions from film and television dramas and novels and other literary works, and said with a smile: "I am really not familiar with this place, but I have nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Gong just order it casually."

Gong Chengpin neither asked or deliberately explained anything. He nodded slightly, then waved to the waiter to order the dishes.

Liu Jingting sat quietly and observed several people calmly. When Gong Chengpin ordered the dishes, his voice was very small. He pointed to the dishes on the menu while casually talking about the recipes and rules; Gong Chengen looked at Wang Qianqian with a smile, and Wang Qianqian rarely showed a quiet side, looking up at the silver-white chandeliers on the round table.

After a while, Gong Chengpin finished ordering the dishes, closed the menu and handed them to the waiter, then looked up at Liu Jingting and said, "I just read Mr. Gu's "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" recently. I was deeply shocked. Mr. Gu is young and has such a talent that is amazing."

Liu Jingting was not too humble to others, so he just said, "I'm too rewarded."

"It's not an award," he said, looking at his younger brother, "At first, Xiaoen told me that Mr. Gu was not yet twenty years old, and I still didn't believe it, but now I realize that I'm ignorant."

Liu Jingting was still smiling modestly. Yu Guangzhong saw Wang Qianqian looking out the window in a blink of an eye, while Gong Chengen was looking at him with a smile.

"I wonder if Xiaoen has mentioned it to you. I'm asking Mr. Gu to come here this time, but I actually want to have a cooperation with Mr. Gu."

Liu Jingting thought to himself, "It's true." He didn't pretend, and said, "Mr. Gong is referring to "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch"?"

"Not that," Gong Chengpin looked at Liu Jingting sincerely and said in that unique and confident tone: "I hope to establish a long-term cooperation with Mr. Gu. Well, I can see that Mr. Gu is a person who doesn't like to go around the corner, so I said it straightforwardly. I mean, I hope to obtain an exclusive right to adapt the film and television works in the future."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, including Wang Qianqian, who was looking out the view outside the window.

Liu Jingting said in his heart: "This young master of Gong is indeed well versed in negotiations. He saw that he didn't like to bend around the corner, so he spoke so directly."

"Of course, this exclusive right must be time-limited, and it is definitely not permanent exclusive. Mr. Gu can rest assured that this is another thing I can guarantee is that no matter what form of adaptation is made in the future, it must respect the original work."

"Well, I actually have little understanding of these things, but the "Legend of the White-Haired Witch" will be handed over to Gong Ershao. This was agreed with him before. As for future cooperation, I really haven't considered it."

When Liu Jingting was speaking, Gong Chengpin looked at him very seriously. When Liu Jingting finished speaking, Gong Dashen thought for a moment and said, "Does Mr. Gu mind exclusive?" Gong Chengpin asked in a tentative tone.

Liu Jingting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I mind, but that's not used to it. Well, or say that, I don't want to carry all kinds of contracts on my back. In fact, we have faced too many documents, rules and treaties all the way, and I really don't like it."

"I understand what Mr. Gu means," Gong Chengpin said with insight, "It seems that we have no more choice in such a contract society."

"In martial arts novels, gentlemen are valued for being honest, and it can be seen that cooperation does not necessarily mean that they can only rely on contracts." Wang Qianqian, who has been quiet, suddenly spoke up.

Gong Chengpin frowned slightly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "The times are different, and the ways to deal with problems are naturally different."

"It's just an excuse for people nowadays to be untrustworthy."

"This is a system, and it is a rule."

Gong Chengen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, Mr. Gu is less than sixteen years old and cannot sign the contract."

"This is a trivial matter, and as far as I know, Mr. Gu and Qianhong also have a long-term cooperative relationship. As long as Mr. Gu agrees, other things can be handled by Qianhong, and Mr. Lu and I will know each other."

Liu Jingting was very excited. Even though he knew that as long as he let go, the Gong family's eldest son who acted like a textbook stipulated something would give him, he really didn't want to enter these circles so early. It can be foreseeable that one day in the future, even if these people don't come to him, he will actively promote some things. However, the young man is not yet eighteen this year.

Gong Chengpin turned his head to Liu Jingting again and said, "And Mr. Gu must know that with the development of film and television media, the mainstream consumer group is increasingly biased towards large and small screens. After we cooperate, we can establish a virtuous cycle system. The popularity of the novel itself is conducive to the progress of adaptation. After the adaptation, the film and television dramas in turn promote the sales of novels. Another point is that since we want to get exclusives, all the losses incurred in the middle are naturally our responsibility."

The meaning of the last sentence is translated as, "Sign up with us for exclusives and will give you a lot of money."

It sounds like there is no reason to refuse, but it seems very hasty if you don't refuse. Liu Jingting originally had a predetermined book promotion process in his mind, but with the gradual launch of the novel, some inevitable by-products followed, and at this time, he had no real experience.

"You can feel Mr. Gong's sincerity," Liu Jingting declined politely, and the cell phone in his pocket rang very appropriately, "I'm sorry."

Gong Chengpin smiled and shook his head, indicating that he could do it.

Liu Jingting took out his cell phone and saw that the number on the screen was actually the number in his dormitory.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Jingting, I'm Sun Xinyang," the voice on the phone was a little anxious, a little helpless and desperate, "Well, that, Su Nanhong's mother's condition suddenly became critical, the operation must be advanced, that, I..."

"Wait, I'll go back right away."

Liu Jingting hung up the phone and said solemnly: "A roommate in the dormitory has an urgent matter, I want to go back immediately. I'm so sorry."

Gong Chengpin's expression remained unchanged and said, "It's okay, let Xiaoen give it to you."

"Then I'll be in trouble again."

Gong Chengpin shook his head and said, "Mr. Gu can carefully consider my proposal and contact me through Xiaoen at any time if you have any ideas."
