The Young Matriarch
Chapter 713 - Chapter 713 Chapter 713 They Really Are Little Sly Devils

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: They Really Are Little Sly Devils! Chapter 713: Chapter 713: They Really Are Little Sly Devils! Liu Yuyou stood rigid, her fingernails digging painfully into her palm, turning the nails white.

This scene had already been posted by the gossipy students to the Imperial University student forum!

Director Li Dongyu personally showed up at the school’s anniversary celebration to discuss the screenplay contract with Bai Chuwei, even offering a sky-high copyright fee of sixty million, which caused quite a sensation on the Imperial University forum and was accompanied by photos, making it highly credible.

Just now, the senior professors of the Chinese department, who were boasting and reciting poetry with graduating students under the academic building, rushed towards Time Cafe as soon as they caught wind of the news.

What?

The graduates were missing their professors? No, no, no, it’s enough not to stir up trouble outside, no need to meet them!

Which one of these senior Chinese department professors wasn’t a towering figure in China’s literary world?

On the day of the anniversary celebration, they left behind a group of visiting graduates and hurried over.

When Director Li saw the professors arriving, he was just about to stand up to greet them, but the small table was quickly surrounded.

“Student Bai, we’ve heard that you are Mr. Bai’s descendant, and that your Bai Family possesses the unpublished latter half of his work, right? How about handing it over to us?” The professor’s eyes were gleaming like high-wattage light bulbs.

“We at Imperial Capital University have our own publishing house!”

Before Bai Chuwei could even speak up, another old professor with a goatee lifted his eyelids, pretending to faint, and weakly cried out, “Student Bai, I won’t live much longer, I just want to see Mr. Bai’s subsequent works before I’m laid in my coffin, you wouldn’t want me to die with regret, would you?”

The students nearby: “…”

Damn it, professor, you were faster than any other professor when you stormed into the cafe, alright? Now you come to play the weakling?

Director Li was stunned. These were all aged professors from Imperial University, cultural icons who loved to maintain a good reputation, the kind that cared the most about saving face!

To read the sequel, they were throwing their dignity out the window?

Director Li quickly interjected, “Professors, just now Student Bai had already signed a confidentiality agreement with our film crew…”

Director Li was quite shrewd himself; no one in the world knew what the sequel to “Records of the Mountain Moon” was, and once it was made into a film, the viewership was guaranteed to skyrocket.

So he hoped that Bai Chuwei would only release the content of the original work after the drama aired. Bai Chuwei herself didn’t object, but now these old professors had come chasing after her?

The old professor hearing this seemed as if his eyeballs were about to pop out, he covered his chest with one hand, started panting, and kept chanting, “I’m fainting, I’m having difficulty breathing…”

Director Li’s scalp exploded with fright: “!!!”

Crap, he didn’t just make an old professor pass out, did he?

Bai Chuwei propped her jaw, watching the group of old professors feigning faints with great interest, capable of grabbing an Oscar statuette.

This was getting awkward.

Bai Chuwei stood up, picked up the contract leisurely, and walked outside, casually dropping a line, “Professor Yang, you’re in good health, your heart rate is normal. Stop pretending.”

After Bai Chuwei left, the group of old professors instantly turned their gaze to Director Li Dongyu, their eyes flickering with excitement.

Director Li swallowed hard in shock, please… don’t look at him like that, it made him nervous and a little afraid.

“Director Li, let me be a consultant for your crew, I have done a lot of research on the original!”

“I’m the one with profound research on the original text, I once wrote a research paper on ‘Records of the Mountain Moon’ spanning tens of thousands of words.”

“Director Li, I have expertise in costumes, how about asking me to join the drama crew?”

“…”

Hey, if these old professors joined the crew, wouldn’t they be able to see the sequel?

They were really sly little devils!
