Editor Shen directly took it out—

[Pinnacle Studios Copyright Agreement]

He skimmed through the words and was stunned.

The front part of the contract was a little long and mainly talked about regulations. He skipped past it and turned to the last page.

At the back was the internal beta copyright contract signed between “Celestial Wolf 2” and the Qin Corporation.

There were three signatures underneath, including Celestial Wolf, Pinnacle Studios, and the Qin Corporation.

Editor Shen stood rooted to the ground, unable to regain his composure for a long time. a.s.sistant Cao pressed her heart and stuttered, “Editor, Editor Shen… Isn’t this the quota appointed to Yiyi Zining?”

Moreover, with Magic Lamp’s rookie status…

How did she obtain the contract?

…

At the Mu family’s house.

After paying respect to Mu Zongyuan, Old Master Mu invited Ning Wei back to the Mu family’s house.

Standing in front of the tomb under the hot sun, Ning Wei was a little still and silent. Glancing at Old Master Mu, her dark eyes gradually deepened. “It’s okay.”

She politely rejected him.

“I’m holding a banquet to introduce Xiao Nan to the people in the circle…” Old Master Mu tried again.

“No.” Ning Wei shook her head. “Old Master Mu, if it’s okay, I’ll go back with Xiao Nan first.”

They had to return to his place, where Cheng Juan would come by to see her at night.

Old Master Mu remained silent and only nodded silently.

Standing at the back, Mu Zongxi watched as Old Master Mu got into the car. At the same time, his phone rang.

He took a look and saw that it was the lawyer. He picked up as he got into the car.

Mu Zongxi’s expression changed greatly when he heard from the lawyer. “What?”

After a long while, he finally hung up and asked the driver to drive to the city instead. His expression was dark.

In the evening, Mu Zining returned home after discussing with Fourth Master Liu.

As soon as she arrived at the lobby, she saw Mu Zongxi waiting there. “Dad?”

She was a little confused.

She didn’t stay in the Mu family’s house and usually stayed in her own apartment. These days, she had only actively returned to the Mu family’s house to improve the old master’s goodwill.

“Zining.” Mu Zongxi turned around and looked at her, his face dark. “Do you know what your grandpa put on his will?”

Mu Zining was stunned. “A will?”

“Yes.” Mu Zongxi sneered. “He gave Mu Nan one-third of the Mu family’s properties. Does he even put me in his eyes at all?”

There were so many people in the Mu family who had inheritance rights. Mu Nan had only just returned to the Mu family. So, him receiving one-third of the inheritance really angered Mu Zongxi.

“I worked so hard for the Mu family all these years to give everything to someone else?”

Mu Zining knew that Old Master Mu liked Mu Nan, but she didn’t expect him to be so muddleheaded. However, she wasn’t as anxious as her father. “Dad, don’t worry. The Mu family properties will be ours in the end. I’m going to be busy in Beijing from now on. You just keep an eye on the Mu family for now.”

“Beijing?” Mu Zongxi was taken aback.

Lowering her voice, Mu Zining smiled faintly. “The Qin family of the four major families in Beijing.”

Mu Zongxi stared at her, then smiled proudly. “Yes, you’re my daughter indeed!”

Not only did he have a good relations.h.i.+p with Mo Zhihuai, but he also had connections in Beijing. For Mu Zongxi and the others, this was the best trump card.

With this trump card, everyone would surely stand on their side when it came to it.

“But Mu Nan…” Mu Zongxi’s eyes sharpened. “I can’t let it go.”

The Mu family had changed too much regarding Mu Nan these days.

Mu Zining sat down on the sofa and opened Weibo. Sure enough, news of the cooperation between the Qin family and Pinnacle Studios was already released by the authorities.

The Qin family official also issued a notice that the cooperating authors would receive many benefits from the Qin family.

Most of the fans were wondering if this cooperation partner was Mu Zining.

Reading through the fan comments, Mu Zining gave a Like to the fan who guessed it was her.

She had a lot of fans on Weibo. The moment her Liked comment appeared on her homepage, her fans instantly became active.

It even went on the hot search.

…

In the evening, at the place rented by Mu Nan.

Cheng Juan and Qin Ran came over for dinner to eat Ning Wei’s dishes.

After dinner, Ning Wei went to wash the dishes and asked Qin Ran to help her out.

Cheng Juan stayed outside to educate Mu Nan.

“Don’t be like your cousin and be so indecisive.” Cheng Juan sat on the sofa with a teacup and glanced at him. He slowly lectured, “Physics is a good thing. The Research Inst.i.tute will have to rely on you in the future. Of course, you can take the Mu family at will if you want. But if you don’t want to, leave it to someone you trust in the future.”

Mu Nan nodded. “Okay.”

He already understood these clearly. Cheng Juan wanted to hand over the physic researcher’s booth to him so that Qin Ran would be less involved in the future.

Qin Ran came out of the kitchen thoughtfully.

“Are we leaving?” Cheng Juan put down the teacup and walked over to hold her waist. “I’ll go say goodbye to Little Aunt.”

Qin Ran nodded silently.

They left together.

In the elevator, Cheng Juan looked down at her. “What did she say?”

“Just…” Qin Ran slowly leaned on him. “Do Shanghai apartments have courtyards as well…”

Taken aback, Cheng Juan looked down at her.

Without speaking anymore, Qin Ran continued looking thoughtful.

…

The next day, on Monday.

Pinnacle Studios headquarters.

The creators of the Great G.o.d comics of Pinnacle Studios had their own studios and a.s.sistants. Every day, comics, line drafts, and many trivial matters of copyright were handled by their a.s.sistants and staff.

Magic Lamp was the only one not among these well-known authors, as she never showed up.

This was also one of the many reasons why many people speculated that Magic Lamp was too bad-looking.

The editors didn’t hold a meeting today mainly because of the Qin Corporation’s case.

Inside.

After the general manager talked to all the editors about the cooperation, he turned to the few Great G.o.d authors. “If the cooperation project is successful, we’ll continue to cooperate with the Qin Corporation for a long time in the future. Every author will have a chance. This time, we’ll select an internal beta author as a representative. At the same time, we’ll select an editor to communicate with the Qin Corporation.”

He clicked on the remote control and turned to the next page of the slide.

As soon as he said this, the conference room instantly became heated with discussions.

They were all congratulating Yiyi Zining.

The male author beside Yiyi Zining even smiled and said, “Zining, it must be you and Editor Liu…”
