Tao Yumo instinctively felt that something was wrong. She walked back to the door in confusion and looked at the house number.

"That's right!"

She swept around the house and found everything was clean. It couldn't be so clean after being robbed, right?

What's going on? You won't move back to the mainland, right?

Tao Yumo tried to make a call and found that the phone had been shut down.

She didn't know what had happened, and she was so anxious and panicked that she threw her luggage in the house and ran to the Prince's Building.

When they arrived at the Prince's Building and saw that the "Lin's Pictures" sign was still there, Tao Yumo's determination to go all the way was finally put back.

"Azhen!"

Seeing Wu Meizhen, Tao Yumo immediately grabbed her.

"Miss Tao, you are back!" Wu Meizhen greeted Tao Yumo.

"You're back. Where are my sister and my brother-in-law?" Tao Yumo asked anxiously.

"Mrs. Lin went to attend the launch ceremony of "Fantasy Girl" today. I don't know much about Mr. Lin."

Tao Yumo nodded, without saying anything else, picked up the company phone and called Tao Yushu.

"Hey, sister, I'm home, why is the house empty?"

"What?"

That evening, at Mid-Levels Central, Jiahui Garden.

The night is hazy, the mountain scenery in the middle of the mountain is hidden in the darkness, and the night view of Victoria Harbor in the distance is mesmerizing.

The evening breeze blew Tao Yumo's hair, and she pulled it back with a cold expression.

"So, you can move without telling me?"

There was a hint of coldness and grievance in her voice.

Tao Yushu was sitting on pins and needles on the sofa, "I thought your brother-in-law told you on the phone."

A piece of hot potato was thrown into Lin Chaoyang's hand. It was so hot that he grinned and dared not let go, and showed an apologetic smile to his sister-in-law.

"This is definitely my fault, brother-in-law. I only wanted to urge you to come back, and I forgot to tell you about moving to a new home."

His apology did not cause any emotional fluctuations in Tao Yumo. She looked at her brother-in-law coldly.

"Forgot? Why didn't you forget that you asked me to sign the contract? Why didn't you forget that you asked me to look after the child?"

Lin Chaoyang, who knew he was in the wrong, nodded and apologized, "Yes, yes, it's my brother-in-law and I didn't think carefully about it. Yumo, it's really hard for you to go to Japan this time. You need to get a raise in salary next month."

After hearing the meaning of "real money", Tao Yumo's complexion finally became a little better, but when she looked at the nanny Adi holding Yan Yan beside her, her complexion darkened unconsciously.

There is a kind of shock and bitterness when a dog goes out to play and finds another dog in the house when he comes back.

Tao Yushu observed her face and patiently explained: "Didn't you say you wanted to be a producer on the set?

Now that I'm gone, I definitely can't be as half-hearted as before. How can I have so much energy to take care of Dongdong and Yan Yan anymore.

Adi is here just in time to help you relieve some of the pressure - help me to relieve some of the pressure. From now on, I will be busy with the company's affairs and you will be busy with the crew's affairs. Isn't this just right?"

"Isn't there still my brother-in-law?"

"Your brother-in-law just takes care of the children and doesn't do anything else?"

Tao Yumo glanced at A Di with a complicated expression, "I don't want this kind of miscommunication to happen again."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Chaoyang and his wife nodded repeatedly.

"In order to prevent this from happening again, I think it is necessary for the company to equip me with a mobile phone so that we can communicate at any time."

Although they knew that this girl was taking the opportunity to blackmail, they both forgot about her.

"Okay. You always work for the crew, and it's appropriate for you to be a co-star on Taiwanese TV station."

Only then did Tao Yumo show a satisfied look. The anger and grievance she felt just now disappeared in the blink of an eye. She walked to A Di and stretched out her hand towards Yan Yan.

"Good boy Yanyan, let my aunt give me a hug!"

Yan Yan was held in Tao Yumo's arms. Dongdong, who was waiting aside, was extremely anxious, "Auntie, auntie, there's me, there's me too!"

Tao Yumo quickly smiled and hugged him into his arms, one on the left, one on the right, one on the right, and the three of them were smiling broadly.

While laughing, Tao Yumo did not forget to cast a flirtatious look at A Di.

Did you see that I am the king of children in this family?

Adi was over forty years old and came to Hong Kong from the mainland a few years ago. She was an honest person. Seeing Tao Yumo's aggressive personality, like a teddy, she lowered her head unconsciously.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!

"Okay, let's give the child to Adi first. First, tell me about the situation in Japan. Why did you come back so late?"

Tao Yumo's turn is over, and it's Tao Yushu's turn to make a move.

Upon hearing this question, Tao Yumo's eyes immediately flickered, and his aura weakened a lot.

"I have to sign a contract with Kawade Shobo. They keep changing it. Besides, I did a thorough inspection in Japan this time."

"Oh? What did you find after all the inspections?" Tao Yushu asked, staring into his sister's eyes.

"Well.---I found out through research that the yen has risen sharply recently. If my brother-in-law's book is published in Japan, he will definitely make money without losing money."

Tao Yumo was telling lies and she could hardly stop making them up. She smiled guiltily at Tao Yushu.

"Hey, sister~"

Seeing that she surrendered, Tao Yushu immediately scolded her severely and claimed: "If this happens again in the future, don't go."

"No, no, no, no! Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will definitely act according to the instructions next time and will never disobey them."

Tao Yumo's sworn guarantee was just not credible, so it was almost like he didn't say anything.

Seeing her sister's perfunctory attitude, she took out the contract she signed with Hede Study, ready to show off her merits, and said to Lin Chaoyang:

"Brother-in-law, have you written the inscription that Ms. Kondo asked for?"

"Nothing."

"Why are you not positive at all?"

Tao Yumo escorted Lin Chaoyang to the study and asked him to write a calligraphy as required. Then she frowned and looked at it for a long time.

"Your word is average!"

In a daze, Lin Chaoyang felt like he was seeing an old friend.

"You're quite generous, but it's not for you."

"I'm here to urge you to make progress. You still have to practice writing with my dad. Okay, I'll frame this word later and send it to Kondo-kun. It will be the face of your Japanese Literature Research Association.

.”

Tao Yushu curiously asked about the literary research association, and Tao Yumo became more energetic when he talked about it.

"It was only after I went there that I found out that those Japanese people quite admired my brother-in-law——."

Two days later, Lin Chaoyang finally received the sample book from Gallimard Publishing House in France.

Since I signed a publishing contract with them in May, I have received the sample book in nearly four months, which is very efficient.

Compared with the efficiency of Gallimard Publishing House, China Film's efficiency is extremely slow. All the imported novels have been published, but "The Truman Show" has not yet been released in the mainland.

Seeing that early September was coming to an end, Tao Yushu planned to go back to the mainland to see the progress of Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" is not in a hurry, but Chen Kaige's "The King of Children" plans to participate in next year's film festival.

She planned to go back to Yanjing with Lin Chaoyang, and Tao Yumo was still in charge of Xiangjiang.

Before leaving, Lin Chaoyang received the royalties from "The Truman Show" settled by Ming Pao Publishing House.

This is the second royalty payment for "The Truman Show" since it was published in Hong Kong, and it is much more than the first royalty payment.

The main reason is of course the huge popularity of the movie "The Truman Show" in May and June, which directly led to a crazy increase in sales of the original novel.

In June, the most popular month for the novel, it achieved a sales volume of 64,900 copies in a single month.

Even in the 1960s and 1970s when Xiangjiang martial arts novels were at their peak, this sales volume was at the top level, not to mention that "The Truman Show" is a serious work of pure literature.

In the past six months, the sales volume of "The Truman Show" has reached 142,500 copies. If previous sales are included,

The cumulative sales of this novel have exceeded 200,000 copies.

A purely literary work has sold 200,000 copies. This is the first time such a situation has occurred in Hong Kong's literary world.

Therefore, the sales of Lin Chaoyang and "The Truman Show" have been the focus of many people in the literary world during this period.

However, the development of pure literature in Xiangjiang has always been non-mainstream, and its presence is not strong.

If the novel sells well, Lin Chaoyang's royalties will naturally be high. The income from this royalty settlement is as high as 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Including previously settled royalties, the royalties income from "The Truman Show" alone in Hong Kong has exceeded 200

Thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
