The more Liu Ling’s mother spoke, the angrier she became. She poked Liu Ling’s forehead. “Are you a pig? She already took your script away and didn’t give you money. What if she reneges on her debt?”

Liu Ling covered her forehead, her heart wavering a little. However, when she thought of how Xia Wanyuan had not only sent her to the hotel but also given her money to use, she felt that Xia Wanyuan was not that kind of person. “Mom, Xia Wanyuan is a very big celebrity. Her family is very rich too. She won’t do such a thing.”

“You already said it. She’s so rich, why didn’t she even give you the remuneration?! She took your manuscript and only gave you two thousand yuan a day. Rich people are all heartless. The money they earned was plundered from us!”

Liu Ling’s father also turned around and looked at Liu Ling. “Your mother is right. No rich person is good. Didn’t the person who lived upstairs in the past become rich by cheating others of their money? Have you forgotten that she cheated us of a thousand yuan and left?”

Seeing her parents’ concrete words, Liu Ling was a little swayed. “Why don’t I ask Sister Xia if I can get my pay in advance?”

“No, just ask her directly how much she’s willing to give you.” Liu Ling’s mother winked at her.

“Okay.” Liu Ling called Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan and Lu Li were checking their schedules when Chen Yun answered the call.

After hearing Liu Ling’s question, Chen Yun said honestly, “Your script only has imagination and not a complete plot. In addition, we’re not sure what this movie can do. I can only say that we can buy your copyright for at most a million.”

According to Chen Yun’s personality, one million was actually too much. After all, buying the copyright had to be profitable. Now that the movie had not been released, no one dared to confirm that the movie could sell well. They were willing to give one million in copyright fees because Liu Ling was brought by Xia Wanyuan.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Liu.” Liu Ling hung up and repeated the situation to his parents.

“One million?” Liu Ling’s mother had never seen so much money, but she suddenly thought of something. “Didn’t you say that Xia Wanyuan and her husband are very rich? How much money do they have?”

Liu Ling searched the asset rankings on his phone and found Jun Shiling’s assets.

The family surrounded the phone and counted for a long time, but they could not count how many zeros there were.

Liu Ling’s mother, who had thought that a million yuan was a huge sum of money, suddenly looked down on this mere million yuan.

“That Xia Wanyuan, any set of jewelry is worth twenty to thirty million, but she only gave you a million. You still say she’s a good person? Are you a pig?” Liu Ling’s mother placed her hands on her hips and began to scold Liu Ling. After scolding Liu Ling, she began to scold Xia Wanyuan, this rich person, for being heartless. Liu Ling’s father echoed.

Liu Ling, who had thought that Xia Wanyuan was very good, felt a little resentful.

In the past, she had no concept of money. Fifty yuan was a huge sum to her and could be used to buy many things.

However, ever since she saw Xia Wanyuan, she realized that she could live so comfortably. She had so many beautiful clothes and so many delicious things.

As long as one had money, they could buy these.

Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan’s jewelry was worth tens of millions, and how she was only willing to fork out a million yuan for so many manuscripts, the scales in Liu Ling’s heart gradually tilted. “Mom, what do you think we should do?”

“Hang on to Xia Wanyuan first and tell her that you’re writing properly. At least you can get two thousand yuan a day now.” Liu Ling’s mother thought of her tricks when she was doing business at a small stall. “Your father and I will go out and help you move around and see if anyone is willing to bid higher.”

“Okay.” Liu Ling was used to being attacked by her parents. Now that her parents were willing to help her, Liu Ling habitually tried to please them.

However, Liu Ling’s parents had never seen the world before. How could they have any connections? If they wanted to find the person who bought the manuscript, they could only take Chen Yun’s short video and run to the film studio to ask the director if he was willing to accept the manuscript.

Soon, this matter spread throughout the entire film studio base and naturally reached Chen Yun’s ears.

In the manor, Chen Yun was complaining to Xia Wanyuan about this.

“Wanyuan, I really don’t want to say this, but that young lady looks so obedient. Why is she so ungrateful? We were the ones who made that short video. If not for you, she would still be living on the streets. She actually secretly found a buyer outside. She’s really too much.”

Chen Yun paid more attention to Liu Ling’s short videos and stayed up with the production team for a few nights. Furthermore, he did not take the advertising fee and gave it all to Liu Ling. Who would have thought that this person did not know what was good for him?

After hearing Chen Yun’s complaints about Liu Ling, Xia Wanyuan’s expression changed slightly, but she did not say anything.

Just as Chen Yun hung up, the hotel called.

“Madam, I shouldn’t have called, but I really want to explain the situation to you.” The hotel manager sounded very troubled.

“Tell me.”

“It’s like this.” The person-in-charge could not take it anymore. “The young lady you brought along, you instructed us to take good care of her. We did our best to take care of her, but later on, her entire family stayed in the hotel suite and completely treated the hotel as their home. It’s fine if she has good quality, but the key is, sigh, I’ll send you a few photos.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a few photos popped up on Xia Wanyuan’s phone.

Xia Wanyuan clicked on it. The originally elegant hotel suite had a sofa that was wrinkled beyond recognition. The white woolen carpet had already turned yellow. There were all sorts of melon seeds shells, snack bags, and pools of red oil. The smooth wall had missing pieces here and there.

The entire room had completely changed. It looked sloppy, and no one could imagine that this was the luxurious suite of the Beijing Hotel.

“Madam, it’s not that we find it hard to clean or anything. We send two cleaners up every day to clean, but that young lady’s parents said that our staff will steal their things and don’t allow us to go in. There’s really no other way.” The person-in-charge sighed. If Xia Wanyuan had not brought such a person, they would have chased her out long ago.

“Follow the hotel’s rules,” Xia Wanyuan said after hearing this.

“Yes!” The person-in-charge immediately perked up. With Xia Wanyuan’s words, he had a plan.

In the hotel, Liu Ling and his family were eating hotpot on the carpet. No one cared about the red oil that splashed on the ground.

“It’s fragrant, let’s buy this again tomorrow.”

“Okay, buy more meat. That man surnamed Chen transferred me four thousand yuan yesterday.”

Just as they were eating happily, the door suddenly opened and seven to eight staff walked in. Without a word, they began to pack their things.

“Hey, what are you doing?! Get out!”
