Chapter 574 A Private Date

Early in the morning.

Because of his biological clock, Li Luo woke up at exactly six in the morning.

He opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling of the master bedroom of the executive suite. After he woke up a little, he reluctantly stretched out on the crowded double bed.

This action naturally disturbed the two girls beside him.

Yan Zhusheng opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Li Luo, and seeing that he was awake, he climbed on top of him.

On the other side, Ying Chanxi rubbed her eyes in confusion. When she came to her senses, she saw Yan Zhusheng lying on Li Luo and wanting to kiss him.

"Hurry up and get up." Ying Chanxi gently pushed Yan Zhusheng in the quilt and urged him in a low voice, "Zhusheng, don't be like this so early in the morning. You haven't even brushed your teeth."

"I'm not sticking out my tongue." Yan Zhusheng sat up on Li Luo, blinked and said, "Xixi wants to kiss herself, right?"

"I don't want to." Ying Chanxi snorted stubbornly, "Hurry up and get out of bed. Didn't we agree last night that we would go try Tianhe City's breakfast today?"

"Um... breakfast?" Xu Youyu just woke up at this time, and the first thing he thought about when he opened his eyes was breakfast. "Let's go! Let's have breakfast!"

It was rare for Xu Youyu to be so proactive that he could actually get out of bed so early in the morning. The other three also quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The executive suite has a total of three bathrooms, one each in the master bedroom and the second bedroom, and another outside the living room.

The three girls each chose a bathroom to wash up. In line with the principle of not wasting too much time, Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi into the bathroom of the master bedroom.

As a result, before washing up, Ying Chanxi hugged him and kissed him a few times.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Li Luo said with a smile.

"I'm not sticking out my tongue." Ying Chanxi hummed, and after feeling satisfied, he turned around to brush his teeth and wash his face.

The bathroom in the master bedroom is the most luxurious one, with two sinks, so two people don’t have to queue up to use it.

After a simple wash, the four of them changed their clothes and got ready to go.

Xu Youyu took out his cell phone and looked at the address, then he waved his hand and led the way out of the room.

Tianhe City’s morning tea culture is something you must experience after coming here.

We went out to have breakfast together this morning. It was Xu Youyu who took the initiative to suggest it last night.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were a little surprised by this. They didn't expect that the senior sister would actually plan to get up early, but Li Luo was used to it.

After all, when the two of them traveled together in their previous life, Xu Youyu’s travel goals were mostly not the scenic spots themselves, but the different food cultures in different places.

When she came to Tianhe City this time, she tagged all the readers and fan group in advance and asked if there were any local people from Tianhe City.

Then I found several roadside breakfast shops not far from the hotel, which served authentic breakfast food.

After leaving the hotel, Xu Youyu originally wanted to take a taxi.

But Yan Zhusheng said that there had been no morning run today, so the three of them pulled Xu Youyu along and slowly jogged towards their destination.

This intensity of exercise was naturally no problem for Li Luo and others, but after arriving at the destination, after only a distance of less than two kilometers, Xu Youyu was almost exhausted.

"If I had known... I might as well... take a taxi here first..."

Xu Youyu grabbed Li Luo's shoulders with both hands, almost half hanging on him, and spoke breathlessly.

"So you still need to exercise more." Li Luo said with a smile, "If you had been jogging with us since your second year of high school, you would definitely have good physical strength by now."

"Haha...it would be better for me to just die."

Four people walked into the Xiaowei breakfast shop on the roadside while chatting.

The name is ordinary and the store is not very clean.

This breakfast shop occupies the size of two storefronts, with a dozen plastic tables and chairs outside the door. It was only around 6:30 at this time, but 80% of the seats were already occupied.

Business is really good.

"This restaurant doesn't have many ratings on Dianping.com, but there are usually a lot of locals who come here to eat breakfast," said Xu Youyu as he walked into the store.

After saying that, Xu Youyu ordered four servings of the most classic rice rolls here according to the readers' recommendations. There were four kinds of meat fillings, and he tried each one.

Li Luo glanced at the menu and ordered another portion of barbecued pork buns, a small basket of siu mai, and another serving of shrimp dumplings.

The four of them found an empty table near the plastic tables and chairs outside the store and sat down. After a while, the fragrant breakfast was ready and brought to the table by Li Luo.

Xu Youyu didn't have much appetite at first. After all, he had just finished strenuous exercise and his body was still recovering.

So he ate in small bites while watching Li Luo and the others enjoying the food.

After he had almost recovered, he finally started to feast on his meal, and in the end he was the one who ate the most.

"Oh~" Xu Youyu touched his belly and said comfortably, "When can we travel around the country? Then we can eat all over the country!"

"At least we have to wait until after the college entrance examination." Li Luo laughed.

"That's only half a year." Xu Youyu said, "I'm still thinking about buying an RV for fun. If there are four of us, should we buy two to make it more spacious?"

"We should think about this kind of thing in detail later." Li Luo said, "Besides, we still have to go to college, and we only have two months of summer vacation. It's not cost-effective for you to buy an RV at this stage."

"Then wait until graduation!"

"Still early."

"You talk too much. Am I just imagining the future?"

"If you want to imagine the future, I'm planning to look at some villas in Yinjiang District recently." Li Luo suddenly said, "Those three- or four-story small villas, let's see if there are any suitable ones. Let's go and see them together then?"

"What are we going to see?" Ying Chanxi snorted, "The house you live in is not ours."

"I can rent the rooms inside to you." Li Luo blinked and said shamelessly.

"I don't need it." Yan Zhusheng said immediately, "I'll just sleep in your room."

The four of them started chatting again, and after taking a while to digest their food, they got up and left, strolling along the Pearl River.

It was already past eight in the morning when we got back to the hotel.

As soon as Xu Youyu returned to his room, he fell asleep.

Li Luo took Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng out again, and took advantage of the free time in the morning to visit some nearby attractions.

Halfway through, Yan Zhusheng said to the two of them, "I'm leaving tonight. Sister Xiaowen will pick me up."

"Huh?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Going to Nanshan City in advance?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Go there tonight, and you can still attend the rehearsal tomorrow."

"Okay, shall I take you to the subway station in the evening?" "Sister Xiaowen will pick me up at the hotel."

After confirming that Yan Zhusheng's itinerary for the evening was safe, Li Luo took them both back to the hotel.

At noon, I had lunch in the lunch restaurant specially prepared by Wenyue Group and chatted with several familiar great authors for a while.

Because Xu Youyu and Li Luo had a close relationship at several previous annual meetings and salon events, everyone actually tacitly acknowledged the relationship between rekindling and going to bed early.

So Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng had to accept the title of Li Luo's cousin at Xu Youyu's home court and get to know other family members nearby.

After sending invitations to the big guys he had a good relationship with and talking to the editors, Li Luo received about four or five confirmation replies, and they would go to Nanshan City together to watch Yuan Wanqing's concert tomorrow night.

Although he is about to become a platinum writer of Wenyue Group, he still has connections with Yuan Wanqing and Ying Zhicheng in private.

But it never hurts to get to know more people.

After lunch, this group of authors were called into a small meeting by their editors and leaders. The meeting room was basically filled with some of the most popular authors of the past two years.

In addition, some senior leaders from film and television companies, gaming companies, etc. also participated in the conference discussions.

To put it bluntly, it is just a small meeting, and Wenyue Group is just a pimp, connecting these companies with Li Luo and his group of authors.

If you find anyone you like, you can add my contact information and we can discuss it in detail later.

What was a bit beyond Li Luo's expectations was that many companies were actually quite interested in his book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and said they were planning to adapt it into a film or TV series.

Li Luo is actually very clear that it is very difficult to adapt an online novel of his size into a TV series.

There might be some hope of adapting a movie based on "Charlotte's Troubles", but it would also require a very good screenwriter to integrate the plot.

Speaking of adaptation, Li Luo even feels that it might be more feasible to adapt his book into a short play format that was very popular in later generations.

However, Tik Tok has just emerged and is not very popular. There is not even any sign of the short drama market yet, so there is no need to think about such distant things.

If there really is a sucker who wants to buy it, Li Luo doesn't mind it that much...

For these investors, film and television adaptations are almost like a lottery.

The meeting ended at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Luo was taken to tonight's annual meeting for a simple rehearsal.

In the evening, Li Luo took Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, who had just returned from shopping nearby, back to the hotel room.

At this time, Xu Youyu had been typing in the room for an entire afternoon and finally finished today's update. He also showed off a little in the Writer's Words.

After all, many authors who came to attend the annual meeting took leave, and she was one of the few who did not.

But you have to raise your chin with pride.

"Change your clothes." When Li Luo said this, Ying Chanxi had already trotted into the master bedroom, found Li Luo's suitcase, and helped him take out the suit he had prepared.

Because he rarely wears suits, this gray suit is the one Xu Youyu bought for him last year.

Xu Youyu was too lazy to buy a new dress and still wore the one he wore last year.

As for Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, although they can attend the dinner and annual meeting as family members, the dinner will be held in the family seats in the next hall, and they do not have to go on stage at the annual meeting, so they can just wear casual clothes.

Otherwise, given their looks, if they put on dresses and appeared at the annual meeting, they would somewhat steal the show.

After all the preparations were completed, Xu Youyu continued, "During lunch, a few authors asked me to go shopping after the annual meeting, and maybe play mahjong or something."

"Who is it?" Li Luo looked puzzled. "A man or a woman."

"They are all female authors." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and whispered in his ear, "Are you jealous?"

"I don't have any." Li Luo shook his head repeatedly, "Then you go."

Four people came out of the room.

On the way downstairs to the restaurant, Li Luo pulled Ying Chanxi behind him and whispered to her, "Zhu Sheng is leaving tonight, and Sister You Yu is not here either, so let's go out for a walk together tonight."

Upon hearing that he had a chance to be alone with Li Luo, Ying Chanxi nodded happily: "Okay, let's go to the riverside? I also brought a camera."

"OK."

The dinner was in the form of a buffet, and the authors and their families were divided into two restaurants. So Li Luo took Xu Youyu, and Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng separated at the fork in the road.

After enjoying dinner in the restaurant, they met again at the entrance of the annual meeting hall.

The content of the annual meeting is more or less the same every year. It is nothing more than announcing some annual titles, bringing out the best-selling works, and showing the investors whether there are any good prospects.

At halftime, this year's top players and platinum winners were announced.

Among them, particular emphasis was placed on Rekindled, which had just turned 18 and had already won the platinum title this year.

This is also a very explosive publicity point for Wenyue Group.

A senior high school student, who just turned 18, has won what is almost the highest honor in the online literature world.

Li Luo himself doesn't want to be too high-profile, but Wenyue obviously doesn't think so.

After all, an 18-year-old author who has only been writing online novels for two and a half years has won the platinum title with his own strength.

This not only shows that Li Luo himself is very capable, but also shows that their platform still has a steady stream of fresh blood.

This is a completely movable signboard to attract more new authors.

It also further consolidated Qidian’s reputation as the place of enlightenment in the online literature industry.

Li Luo did not react much to this. He went on stage to receive several awards, including the best-selling author of the year, the hit work of the year, and the first prize in the realistic essay contest for "Little Joy".

In short, after an annual meeting, Li Luo did earn a lot of honors.

Even from this moment on, the relevant content has been spread on the Internet.

An 18-year-old platinum writer, most outsiders might just think the title is intimidating.

But what if we add another sentence: annual income of tens of millions?

That would be enough to shock most people.

However, the ups and downs in the outside world have little to do with Li Luo tonight.

After the annual meeting, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi saw off Yan Zhusheng who was going to Nanshan City, and Xu Youyu who had an appointment with the female authors to go out and play, then took their cameras and left the hotel.

Feeling the warm touch of Li Luo's palm when their fingers were intertwined, Ying Chanxi jumped for joy.

Li Luo turned his head to look at her cute and delicate profile, fell into deep thought for a moment, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
