"My goodness, what a waste! Such a great book hasn't been published. What's wrong with the publishing houses in China? They have terrible taste!" Jenny

  "Great! From today on, I'm a fan of Su Ruo Chen! At 15 years old, she can write such a great detective story, she must be blessed by God!!"

  "No way, I have to translate this 'Sherlock Holmes Collection' into English and let them take a look. Good stuff should be shared by everyone," said Jenny before she went offline again.

  She should have gone to translate "Sherlock Holmes" instead, Wang Shan didn't know that her unintentional move attracted many fans for Su Yuechen in the US.

  "It's true that books know no borders, 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' is wonderful and has conquered an American. If the Hugo Award this year doesn't go to 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection', then it's absolutely certain that there's foul play involved." Wang Shan wrinkled her little nose.

  Thoughts returned to the present, it was because "Sherlock Holmes" conquered Jenny that Wang Shan became a die-hard fan of "Sherlock Holmes".

  "Su Tiancai, have you ever been to London in England?"

  "No, I've never been abroad" Su Xichen still felt a bit uncomfortable with the title of "Su Tiancai".

  "Who was the prototype of Sherlock Holmes? After reading it, I still think that there is such a genius on Baker Street. What's the inspiration for Holmes' character setting?" Wang Shan had many questions.

  "The inspiration for this character setting of Holmes is actually one of my hopes"

  According to Conan Doyle himself, the prototype of Holmes was his professor at medical school, Dr. Joseph Bell, though Bell himself did not like this idea.

  As a result, some readers speculated that Conan Doyle must have been under strong pressure from the real prototype to mislead readers in this way. Some readers speculate that Holmes may actually exist in London, but this detective is not called Holmes and does not live at 221B Baker Street; he is probably a friend of author Conan Doyle.

  It doesn't matter what he says, it's not suitable for Su Yuechen to say such things because it's obvious that he has never been to London, UK. So Su Yuechen himself is talking nonsense: "I'm a person who gets emotional easily, I might get unhappy over some small things, so I really admire those who can suppress their emotions with reason. Therefore, I wanted to create someone like that in me, and I even exaggerated it, creating someone who remains extremely calm at all times, and that's how Holmes came about."

  "Oh, I see." Wang Shan nodded.

  Su Shuai let out a sigh of relief, and finally muddled through.

  But before Su Cheng could catch his breath, Wang Xuan asked another question: "Su Tiancai, I heard that you became the screenwriter of the crew and completed a script of more than 60 episodes in just one month. Is this true?"

  "This is actually correct"

  "By the way, is the crew having fun?"

  "Outside people now call you the world's youngest deputy director, isn't it a great achievement?"

  ……

  Wang Shan seemed tireless, bombarding him with question after question.

  It turns out that Su Xichen discovered a problem, the mothers and daughters now have completely different personalities. Zhao Dan and Tang Liuyu, the mother is enthusiastic while the daughter is cold, whereas Wang Ni and Wang Shan, the mother is aloof but the daughter is extremely passionate, damn it, I'm so shocked!!

  Just as Su Xue was lamenting in her heart, Wang Ni finally returned from buying vegetables.

  "Mom (Aunt) is back," Su Xichen and Wang Shan said in unison.

  "Hmm" Wang Ni responded with a murmur, then took the dishes into the kitchen and started bustling around.

  At noon, three people had lunch. Through this meal, Su Shichen understood one thing and realized why Aunt Wang was getting colder and colder to him.

  Wang Ni used to be the editor-in-chief of a publishing house. Although being an editor-in-chief doesn't require as much people skills as being an editor, sometimes when trying to publish books by big-name authors, negotiations are still necessary. At this time, being too aloof won't work, so she needs to hide her cold side.

  Wang Ni's personality was originally quite cold, so the more familiar she became with someone, the less she needed to hide herself. That's why Su Rui Chen felt that Wang Ni was becoming increasingly cold towards him. The best proof is Wang Ni's attitude towards Wang Shan, which is also icy, and Wang Shan seems to have gotten used to this way of communicating.

  Once she understood this point, Su Rui Chen felt much better and thought of tomorrow's company opening, asking "Auntie, is the company's business ready? Business license and all that?"

  "Alright, tomorrow's opening will feature Xiao Chen's 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection' as the main event. I hope it can make a big splash and at least establish a foothold in Yang City."

  With Su's reputation in Yangcheng, plus the brilliance of "Sherlock Holmes", it would be no problem to stand firm in Yangcheng, as long as there were no accidents. Relying on the fame brought by the publication of "Sherlock Holmes", Xianyue Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. will soon rise.

  "It's definitely going to be a success, 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' is great, it would be best if it were published globally, my classmates in the US love reading it." Wang Shan suddenly interjected.

  King's aunt cooked a pretty good meal, and one dinner was quite delicious.

  After dinner, Wang Shan went to wash dishes, presumably this was agreed upon by Wang Ni and Wang Shan.

  "Aunt, is the company's funding sufficient?" Su Xichen now has over 5 million in his account. Mentioning funds, Wang Ni's icy face revealed a hint of fatigue. "Aunt, if there's not enough money, I have some here, I made several million from online serials." Su Xichen added.

  "Made a few million from online serialization?" Wang Ni's face flashed with a hint of skepticism.

  "Yes, the online novels 'Ordinary People's Cultivation' and 'Fighting Through the Sky' are mine, and they're doing pretty well." Wang Nian Su had nothing to hide from Xie Chen.

  "Are 'First Intimate Contact' and 'Co-habiting with a Flight Stewardess' written by you, Xiao Chen?" Wang Ni didn't show much interest in the online novels serialized on Longyun Net. As a former editor-in-chief of a publishing house, Wang Ni's criterion for evaluating a book was whether it was suitable for publication or not. Compared to 'Ordinary Person's Cultivation Story' and 'Fighting Through the Sky', 'First Intimate Contact' and 'Co-habiting with a Flight Stewardess' were indeed more suitable for publication.

  There is another reason why a web novel can have three or four million characters, if it were to be physically published, how many volumes would that be? It's not suitable for Xian Yue Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd. at present.

  "Auntie, have you read the book I serialized online?"

  "Of course I've heard of it. Just the other day, my aunt even sent a few private messages to Tian En's blog, but there was no response. I didn't expect that Tian En would be you, Xiao Chen."

  Too many publishers wanted to publish his book, so Su Xichen didn't check private messages at all, and naturally he didn't know about Wang Ni's private message.

  A cultural dissemination company relying on just one book, no matter how popular it is, can't last long. Although Wang Ni worked hard to dig up potential works in the past month or two and even set up a forum for authors to submit their work online, the effects were not good. After all, Xanadu Cultural Dissemination Co., Ltd. was just a new company that wasn't well-known in the industry, and many authors were afraid it was a shell company. Moreover, although Wang Ni had been the chief editor of a publishing house for several years and had connections, she didn't have sufficient funds. As a result, she spent these few months running around to raise capital, meeting with numerous CEOs and directors, but none showed any signs of wanting to invest.

  These two things have been troubling Wang Ni every day, but as soon as Su Rui Chen came back, they seemed to be all resolved.

  "First Intimate Contact" and "Co-habiting with a Flight Attendant" are extremely famous online. Didn't you see that after the 2012 Top Ten Female Lead Actress selection ended, Ruan Jing won first place, while Light Dance Flying also got eighth?

  These two books may not be as brilliant as the "Sherlock Holmes Collection", but in terms of popularity, they are by no means inferior and can fully serve as main works, completely making up for the shortcomings of Xianyue Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd.'s new establishment, such as the lack of first-rate authors, and even more so in terms of funding.

  As she looked at Su Xichen, Wang Ni felt a sense of relief in her heart, as if Su Xichen could solve everything.

  "The company's start-up capital is still short of over 3 million. Does Xiaochen have it?" Wang Ni quickly regained her composure and returned to her strong woman mode.

  "Yes, I can transfer it to Aunt's account this afternoon," Su Xichen said.

  "Xiao Chen, if you invest 3 million, then the company's shares will need to be redistributed."

  "That aunt doesn't need to..." Su Xichen's words of refusal were cut off by Wang Ni "Aunt can't take advantage of you, Aunt will redo the contract" She acted quickly as was her decisive and efficient nature, immediately going back into the room to redo the contract. Before long, the new contract was ready.

  "Take a look, Xiao Chen. If there's no problem, then sign it." Wang Ni handed the contract over to Su Xiao Chen.

  Su Shilei took a rough look and suddenly exclaimed, "Auntie, how can this be? I hold 60% of the company's shares, and you only hold 40%. Doesn't that mean Auntie is working for me? No way, no way, the new company is Auntie's brainchild."

  Shaking his head repeatedly, he refused this approach.

  In fact, owning more than 50% of the shares is already absolute control, let alone now adjusting the shares to make him own 60%.

  "Listen, Auntie said," Wang Ni stopped Su Xianchen. "Now the company's total assets are 5 million, and among them, Xiao Chen, you invested 3 million. Adding the three books 'Sherlock Holmes', 'First Intimate Contact' and 'Living with a Flight Attendant', any one of these three books can be published as a flagship work in other companies. The help these three books bring to the company is self-evident. With 3 million financing plus these three books, Auntie only gave you 60% of the shares, and it's still Auntie who got the better deal."

  "Then the company wouldn't become mine?" His rationality told him that Wang Ni was absolutely right, but his emotions told him he couldn't do it, and Su Rui Chen had always been a person who prioritized emotions over rationality, which is why he hesitated.

  "If you don't agree, Auntie won't want this 3 million financing," Wang Ni said more firmly. Looking at Wang Ni's determined gaze, Su Xiao Chen knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he reluctantly agreed.

  However, contracts signed by those under the age of 18 are not legally binding and require a guardian's signature. They need to take it back home for Wei Xin and Su Jian to review. In the evening, invite Ma Jun and Li Dongfang over for dinner at his place.

  He hadn't been home for two months, and with his classmates coming over, Wei Xin went out to buy chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and prepared a sumptuous dinner.

  "Xiao Si, how are Shufa Ge and San Qian Ge doing? Do they miss me?" Ma Jun asked with a smile.

  Ma Jun has one thing that Su Zhan is not good at, even if he lived on Earth for more than 30 years in his previous life. That's the level of making friends. Ma Jun has been with the crew for less than half a month and has already become very familiar with everyone in the crew. Take Qiu Yeming, Huang Sanqian and Li Xianshu as examples, they are all very familiar with Ma Jun.

  "Didn't they give you a call when you left? You don't even know how to make a phone call and ask." Su Xichen said with a mix of curiosity and annoyance.

  "Haha, I've also been on a film set before, filming is quite busy and tiring. Now that I finally have some rest, how can I bother calling him?" Ma Jun has another good point, which is being considerate. If it were an ordinary person who got a celebrity's phone number, they would probably call every day, but Ma Jun didn't. He considered the other person's feelings first.

  Li Dongfang pouted and said, "Xiao Si, I also want to act."
