"I have to keep the rights that come with this copyright in my own hands."
Xu Lin heard that in the early days when the website's copyright was not regulated, it disgusted many authors. One can't take capitalists as benevolent beings; eating people without spitting out bones is their true nature.
He opened Chi Linyue's WeChat and got straight to the point: "I have a business deal worth tens of millions. Could you accompany me to hold down the fort?"
Chi Linyue was probably busy, as there was no reply for a minute or two. Xu Lin then chatted about other things with Ranzhi.
Xu Lin: "Are you available on Friday?"
Ranzhi: "Yes, but regarding these copyright issues, I don't really have the authority to speak; it's the people above who handle it. As your editor, I'm just tagging along."
As expected, Ranzhi was not qualified to be at the negotiating table.
So Xu Lin needed to be more cautious. After all, as Ranzhi had just said, he's not the one making decisions.
