I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 215 Domestic Violence

After driving for more than 40 minutes, everyone arrived at the place. They were in the car all the way. Li Peifeng didn't find a chance to talk to Wu Wenyue, but he guessed that climbing the Great Wall would be a good opportunity!

At around ten o'clock in the morning, with the sun in the sky and the crisp autumn air, everyone arrived at the Shuiguan Great Wall and bought tickets to enter.

The Great Wall follows the mountainous terrain, and the terrain is dangerous. It is like a dragon rising and falling among the mountains, and like a Kunpeng spreading its wings to fly through the cliffs.

The castles are connected, beacons look forward, and there are double-sided arrow stacks to resist thousands of enemies. The arrow tower is the enemy tower and also functions as a water gate. This construction method is extremely rare in the Great Wall along the line, so it is called Shuiguan Great Wall.

Its cost-effectiveness is also the highest among the three Great Walls in the capital. It can be described in one sentence: "Few people, good scenery, and steep slope!"

"This is not just a steep slope? It makes my legs tremble!!"

There were two employees in the studio who originally had classes during the day, but when they heard that they were going to go on location shooting and take a trip at public expense after work, they all said hello to the teacher and skipped class.

But now when I see how steep the Great Wall is, I feel a little regretful.

"How's it going? Is your back injury okay?"

Li Peifeng carried a large travel bag, which contained all the clothes Wu Wenyue needed to change for filming this video. He deliberately slowed down and fell behind, walking with Wu Wenyue, just to find a chance to chat... …

"good."

Wu Wenyue nodded slightly: "I use my legs to climb the steps, and I don't need my back. You can go first."

That being said, she also walks very slowly, so even if she gets injured, it will still have some impact.

"No, I'll accompany you."

Li Peifeng looked around and found that the five employees were not far away from them in the past few minutes. If the wind blew, they would probably hear the two talking. Especially Mu Anan, the little green tea, has been on the right side of Wu Wenyue, walking side by side with them, looking at Li Peifeng from time to time, very alert...

Just like guarding against thieves!

In fact, after everyone has been in contact for such a period of time, the five people in the studio can all see that the relationship between Li Peifeng and Wu Wenyue is not simple. They are still speculating on each other in private, but they have not spread it to the public. Mu Anan has also already told Li Peifeng Set as the love rival second only to Xu Manying.

But Li Peifeng doesn't care!

"Everyone, work harder. We can reach the top in twenty minutes."

Li Peifeng pulled Wu Wenyue to a stop and encouraged her loudly: "If you can reach the top before the two of us, I will treat you to a feast. You can choose the restaurant of your choice, and I have a high budget."

Tang Yan carried the equipment on his back and interrupted with a smile: "Brother Feng, how tall are you? Is he as tall as you?"

Li Peifeng thought: "This section of the Great Wall is 6.8 kilometers long... Then the per capita consumption for dinner should be 680!"

"Wow~ The boss is awesome!"

"Brother Feng is mighty!"

"Six hundred and eighty each, the seven of us...that's four thousand and seventy!!"

"Where is this four thousand and seven? This is lobster, this is abalone, this is power! Here comes my power!"

"For the feast, come on!"

As soon as the words "680 per capita" came out, the students laughed again and again, and instantly became more motivated. Both men and women climbed faster, and they were all discussing which restaurant would be better to eat in the evening. Their thoughts suddenly changed. , the body will not be so tired.

After all, they are all students, and even though many of the five employees in the studio are from well-off families, most of them have never eaten an average of 680 meals per person.

But Mu Anan still didn't move, blinked and said, "Brother Feng, I'm walking slowly, I might fall behind you."

No wink, you want to eat fried squid!

Li Peifeng chuckled: "It's okay. Wenyue is injured. We are walking slowly. You try to walk as fast as possible with them and lead them to choose a suitable shooting location."

Mu Anan said oh and looked at Wu Wenyue.

"I'll take a break. An'an, you can follow them first."

Wu Wenyue leaned on the railing and waved her hands. Mu Anan pursed her lips before taking a step forward.

"yesterday……"

Seeing that everyone else had gone away, Li Peifeng was about to speak, but Wu Wenyue complained in a low voice: "Are you sick? Treat them to such an expensive meal? It's better to just give it as a bonus."

The normal version of Brother Yue who is diligent and thrifty is finally online!

"You have to eat, and you have to pay bonuses. The two are different." Li Peifeng felt relieved and said with a smile: "Dinners are to deepen relationships, and bonuses are to bind interests. The two-pronged approach is more effective... I personally pay, you do not need to worry."

"Pretending to be wealthy!" Wu Wenyue sneered, still having strong objections.

Li Peifeng said to himself, "You have to know that Lao Zhao and I spent 5,000 yuan on a meal yesterday, so why don't you go crazy?" They might have to push me off the Great Wall.

"My royalties last month were calculated, and they were three hundred and fifty-eight thousand. It's nothing to eat once in a while."

"What? Last month's royalties were more than 300,000 yuan? That much?!"

Wu Wenyue was slightly startled, and smiled happily for the first time today, but then she felt that she was so happy for him. Why? It’s not like I earned it myself, and the two of them were still in a cold war, and last night...

Be restrained!

Wu Wenyue couldn't help but suppress the surprise and coughed dryly: "I remember you said before that the monthly manuscript fee is only fifty or sixty thousand? Even if you sign a platinum contract, won't the share be changed from fifty-five to thirty-seven? That's an increase. It’s only 20%, how come the manuscript fee suddenly increased six or seven times?”

Li Peifeng said with a smile: "When the manuscript fee was not calculated, I didn't expect it to increase so much, but later the editor called me to explain, and I figured it out myself. Because I signed a platinum contract, the website would vigorously promote me , the book I am serializing and the completed old book have received a lot of recommendations, and the monthly manuscript fee depends very much on the recommendation position."

"I took advantage of the time when I was in the recommended position to publish more updates. I used to update four to five thousand words a day, but now I update at least 12,000 words a day for "The Heroine". The number of words has doubled, and my income has doubled. Plus With an additional 20% share, this is enough to increase my royalties from the original 50,000 to 170,000 to 170,000 to 170,000 to 80,000."

Wu Wenyue frowned after hearing this: "That's less than half of your 350,000 yuan royalties."

"Have you forgotten the video we shot together? The rest is all thanks to it."

"A co-produced video can increase your royalties by 170,000 to 80,000 yuan?"

Wu Wenyue's eyes widened, and when Li Peifeng agreed, she shook her head: "No wonder you insist on cooperating with me. It turns out you want to gain my popularity."

"If I don't rub against you, who will I rub against? I not only want to rub against your heat, I also want to rub against something else!"

Li Peifeng spoke in a low voice and secretly grabbed her hand.

Wu Wenyue, however, dodged and looked at the backs of everyone not far away: "Then if the impact of the subsequent short videos is over and the recommendation slot is gone, next month...that is, the royalties for this November, Will it drop significantly?”

"Judging from the current data, it should not, and may even rise again."

"Is it still going up?" Wu Wenyue was dubious: "Are you sure?"

"Ninety-nine percent of the time it will go up."

Although Li Peifeng said this, he looked a little unconvinced and said with emotion: "Because my book is almost finished and I am platinum, the editor will definitely arrange recommendations for me in these two months." , the recommendation will not stop. And the impact of the video will not pass so quickly. The video we co-produced was released on the 30th of last month. How many days has it been?"

Wu Wenyue thought about it and nodded slightly: "Now that the video has three million likes, it is probably still attracting traffic to you. I searched for my pen name 'One or Two Winds in the World' on Douyin yesterday and saw that Many bloggers who promote online novels have taken advantage of this popularity and send you free videos to advertise.”

"Yes, so all the books under my pen name, whether from subscriptions to this site or other channels, have seen a substantial increase in income. This morning the editor told me that he saw many new users who had just registered subscribed to my books from the background , they must all be diverted from Douyin.”

Li Peifeng also received the second call from Xia Sheng in the morning, and after chatting with him in detail, he realized how much dividends this co-produced short video had brought to him. In less than a week, it made the world famous. Feng' added 80,000 paying readers. Therefore, whether it is the serialized "The Queen" or the previous Mouse book, the results have skyrocketed.

Take the ongoing serialization of "The Heroine" as an example. Before signing the platinum contract, the average subscription price was 96,000 or 87,000 for the collection.

After signing the platinum contract, I received a wave of recommendations, and after half a month, the subscriptions increased to 18,000 and 150,000 collections. Although this achievement is impressive, it is still understandable.

But once the video co-produced by Li Peifeng and Wu Wenyue was released, the results increased again.

On the 30th, the first day of release, the average order increased from 18,000 to 21,000, the average order increased by 2,000, the number of collections increased from 150,000 to 180,000, and five alliance leaders were added that day.

No. 31, both were ordered for 23,000, and the collection soared to 220,000. Ten alliance leaders were added that day, including one Silver Alliance. The reward for these eleven alliance leaders was equivalent to 60,000 yuan. According to the platinum contract, Li Peifeng could get 70%, and after deducting taxes, it was worth four. Ten thousand yuan.

At this time, Li Peifeng felt the effect of the short video to attract traffic. At that time, Xia Sheng also used TT to mention it to him. This unexpected surprise made him very happy, but he didn't care too much. After all, the increase was in the collection. There is a lot, but the average order increase is not much. It only increased by five thousand. I update 10,000 words every day, and I subscribe to the 5,000 yuan increase, which is equivalent to a monthly increase of more than 30,000 yuan.

Moreover, the ratio of collections to subscriptions was very high. Li Peifeng was even a little indignant at the time. He estimated that most of the people attracted from Douyin had gone to watch pirated copies. He could earn more than 200,000 yuan in monthly manuscript fees and he would be exhausted. .

But he forgot to consider two issues.

1. He not only has one book, "The Queen", but also five or six old books. These old books have also seen a surge in subscriptions. Although the increase is slightly weaker than that of "The Queen", which is currently being serialized, the number of new subscriptions has increased. Added together, it is very scary to gather a small number to make a large number. Li Peifeng did not carefully calculate this at the time.

2. Most of the readers who came here from Douyin were attracted by his good looks and singing voice. They are "newbies" who have just come into contact with online articles, and their reading habits are still at the stage of savoring every word and every sentence. The reading speed is very slow, which means that during these two days, most of them are still reading the free chapters!

Waiting until November 1st, the third day after the video was released, these "novice" readers read the VIP paid chapter. Then two days passed on the 2nd and 3rd, the collection increased steadily, and the new subscriptions and average subscriptions also increased. The price has skyrocketed.

The rising trend was even more ferocious than the momentum, which led to the fact that early this morning, before Li Peifeng woke up, Xia Sheng called to announce the good news and to urge the update...

Wu Wenyue nodded: "As of now, what is the average order for "The Heroine"?"

Li Peifeng raised three fingers: "Thirty thousand, with a collection of 300,000, third in this month's bestseller list, and fourth in that month's monthly ticket list. If we keep this momentum, in addition to the royalties, we will also get bonuses from the monthly ticket list next month. "

"Then come on."

Wu Wenyue still couldn't help but laugh: "In the future, we will make two more videos together and start your Douyin."

"Stop talking about this, what happened between you and Man Ning yesterday? Did you quarrel with her?"

The others walked further and further away, and Li Peifeng finally asked about the topic he cared about most.

Wu Wenyue did not answer immediately, but looked at the mountain scenery in the distance. Both sides of the Great Wall were covered with red-leafed cotinus trees all over the mountains. After the wind and rain in late autumn, the red leaves on the mountains also had a hint of light yellow. Occasionally, there was a burst of light in the mountains. The autumn wind swept by, and the leaves fell one after another, adding some thickness to the red carpet.

The voices of the people in front gradually faded away, leaving only unknown birds chirping, adding a touch of loneliness and desolation to the scenery.

Wu Wenyue said softly: "Pei Feng, look at these leaves."

Li Peifeng held her hand with one hand and hugged her waist with the other, overlooking the mountain scenery with her: "What's wrong with these fallen leaves?"

Wu Wenyue withdrew her eyes from a distance, stared at the hands held by the two of them, and sighed: "Sooner or later, you will become yellow."

"Don't scare me, okay?!"

Li Peifeng's expression changed: "What happened to you last night? Let's start from the beginning."

"See for yourself."

Wu Wenyue had a complicated look on her face, and she rolled up the sleeves of both arms. Her two wheat-colored arms were covered with scratches, and three of them even left clear blood marks, which clearly showed the viciousness of the perpetrator!

"Hi~~This, this?!"

Li Peifeng took a breath of cold air and said with fear: "Xu Manying scratched it?"

Wu Wenyue nodded silently.

Li Peifeng really didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. He thought that the two girls would quarrel for a few words at most, but he really didn't expect that they would start fighting. The nature of this move was different. It was domestic violence!

Xu Manying was weak and could only scratch Wu Wenyue twice at most, but with Wu Wenyue's move... Xu Manying was probably going to be hospitalized!

"She... how is she?" Li Peifeng probed carefully, and Wu Wenyue snorted: "I knew how to ask her, but don't worry, she was unharmed because she hit me unilaterally and I didn't fight back at all! "

That's good, that's good.

Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't show it on the face of his face. He looked like he was filled with anger: "Man Ning has gone too far. How could she scratch you? It's better to ask Yue that you know the general situation and didn't fight back."

"Scratch? More than just scratching?!"

Wu Wenyue looked sad, put down her sleeves, unzipped her jacket, and tugged on the right side, revealing her slender neck and... deep tooth marks on her round shoulders! !

Li Peifeng was heartbroken: "How much hatred and hatred?! I didn't hit you so hard when I fucked you."

"Don't fucking fart!" Wu Wenyue yelled angrily and gritted her teeth: "That little bitch, she bit me while I was asleep. Everyone was reconciled, but she stayed up late at night and attacked me secretly. Me, I was sleeping soundly and unprepared, but I was woken up by her sore throat, which made me cry."

"It's too much! It's really too much! I criticized her and taught her a lesson! Why is she so vicious?! Is there anything I can't say properly?!"

Li Peifeng was really angry now. He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Xu Manying to accuse him. But just as he was about to dial, he suddenly realized the problem and frowned: "That's not right. Logically speaking, she is in the wrong. You are not the one who should be angry." Coax you? Why does she scratch and bite you?"

Wu Wenyue sniffed and looked into the distance with wandering eyes: "...Anyway, she hit me because she was wrong. You call her first and teach her a lesson. I'll tell you after you've taught her a lesson."

Li Peifeng said in a deep voice: "The lesson is for sure, but Wenyue, you have to tell me what you did to make Manning so angry."

Wu Wenyue felt impatient and guilty: "...Who knows what's going on with her, will you help me or not?!"

"How can I help you if you don't tell me clearly?"

Li Peifeng continued to ask, but Wu Wenyue kept his mouth shut, so he stopped asking: "Okay, don't tell me, I'll call her."

"actually……"

Wu Wenyue was silent for a moment, then coughed dryly: "I just borrowed a few books from her, and then deleted one of her files."

borrow? It's a grab!

The second half of the sentence was very vague, but Li Peifeng still heard it, and his intuition told him that this was the point!

"What document?"

Wu Wenyue was exasperated: "What book did you ask her to read, what shitty PPT did you write? She has written two thousand words behind my back, and if I don't delete it, I can still..."

Hesitant to speak, Wu Wenyue said bitterly: "I just deleted it for her, what can I do if I delete it? Can she scratch me like this if I delete it?"

Yes, that's great.

Li Peifeng was stunned for a long time and was speechless.

Seeing his attitude change, Wu Wenyue had a gloomy expression: "You won't help me vent your anger, will you?"

Li Peifeng said in his heart, why am I getting angry at you, the main reason is that you are so embarrassing! !
