The next day, she appeared at the dinner table with darker circles under her eyes that were thicker than the day before. Before Xu Anyi could ask her a question, she confessed, "I overplayed the game."

Zhan Siqi asked very interestedly: "What game do you play?"

Lin Jiqiao said a long list of names in one breath, Zhan Siqi nodded frequently, and Xu Anyi kicked her from below, which meant that he couldn't speak.

Reminiscent of the exchanges at the dinner table yesterday morning, Lin Jiqiao automatically connected to the voice of going to catch up on sleep after eating, and nodded.

However, Xu Anyi spoke--

"Today I'm going to the West District, and I won't be able to make it back at noon. Is it okay for the two of you to settle lunch by yourself?" While speaking, Xu Anyi only looked at Lin Jiqiao, "You catch up on sleep and pay attention to the time."

Xu Anyi's voice is clear and light, with a long breath, somewhere between alienation and tranquility. When he sings well, he can be rated as ethereal by music critics, but when Lin Jiqiao is recalling yesterday's thoughtfulness, he suddenly uses such a tone, which seems very You do it yourself.

Lin Jiqiao didn't let it go, and felt disgusted for no reason. After taking a few mouthfuls of porridge and throwing it away, he went back to the bedroom without a sound, and locked the door behind him.

Zhan Siqi asked cautiously: "Is it... I'm bothering you too much?"

"No." Xu Anyi smiled, and simply added, "Cheer up."

She also quickly finished breakfast, and because she was in a hurry, she explained to Zhan Siqi and asked her to help put the tableware in the dishwasher, and hurried out the door.

Zhan Siqi stretched out her hands to eat and opened her mouth when she was growing up in a coat. She could refer to it if she had the manual, but without the manual, she couldn't find the switch of the dishwasher after searching for a long time, so she rolled up her sleeves and planned to wash it by hand.

He failed to put the plates and dishes in the sink, but dropped three bowls to the ground, squatting at the kitchen door at a loss, when Lin Jiqiao came out yawning.

"Let me wash it."

Zhan Siqi stood watching while hugging Pudding.

She probably has a scar-retaining physique, her face is not as swollen as the previous two days, but the bruises and dull yellow colors are intertwined, and it is really embarrassing for the new popular Internet singer to go out to meet people.

Lin Jiqiao opened the refrigerator and took out two boxes of puddings, handed them to Zhan Siqi, and took the puddings from her arms.

Strange to say, maybe Xu Anyi has emphasized that she is the most likely to help Zhan Siqi, so Zhan Siqi is not a stranger to Lin Jiqiao in reality, but like a task NPC in the game, without any sense of unfamiliarity and without triggering social interaction. Jiao fear.

However, it is limited to the existence of barriers, and it is still challenging for her to actively find topics.

Zhan Siqi was not as self-conscious as an NPC. He followed her around and sighed after a while: "Yeah, Qiaoqiao, you paint", "Qiaoqiao, you still make models", "Your designers are amazing."

.........

Lin Jiqiao tried hard to maintain her NPC image in his heart, but couldn't stand her nonsensical praise all the time, and just wanted to hide in the study, only to hear Zhan Siqi say in a weak voice: "Sorry, Qiaoqiao, I talk too much ..."

Lin Jiqiao braked halfway, and turned 180 degrees with the cat in his arms. He babbled for a long time before choking out a sentence: "Why do you call her sister and me... huh?"

"Because Sister Yi has been my idol since childhood, no matter how close she is, I always think she is superior." Zhan Siqi bluntly said, "But you are different, you are very kind, very..." She went up and down Check it out, with a bright smile, "It's cute."

Lin Jiqiao nodded his head awkwardly, thinking: This is an npc, an npc, an npc.

"Qiaoqiao, can you lend me the computer?" Zhan Siqi put his hands on his chest, "I want to watch a movie."

"Watching a movie..." Lin Jiqiao opened the door of the audio-visual room, "you can come here."

As expected, Zhan Siqi exclaimed, "That's great!"

Lin Jiqiao turned on the machine and selected theater mode on the start interface. When waiting for the system to turn on, there was always a voice reminding her if you forgot something, but she was too sleepy, staring at the chrysanthemums that kept turning on the screen absent-mindedly, too lazy Use your brain.

Then, a whole page of moving images of Xu Anyi lit up on the curtain.

The history playback interface adjusted by herself is smoother and smoother than the original system, and there is no play button to block it.

Xu Anyi on the left hugged his legs and wept, Xu Anyi on the right closed his eyes, and Xu Anyi in the middle looked back and smiled.

"..."

"..."

After a while, Zhan Siqi muttered to himself, "It's so good to live with idols, real people meet every day, and even the original resources can be obtained..."

Xu Anyi left in a hurry to prepare for the pre-litigation negotiation with Nick Hans.

When she arrived at the company, she spent the morning with Yang Zecheng and two assistants who flew in temporarily from the United States to file documents, decided on a negotiation strategy, and then drove to the west district after having a light meal at noon.

Nick Hans is full of American style, and the agreed meeting place is chosen as the venue of the hotel.Xu Anyi and his party arrived 5 minutes early, but they waited another quarter of an hour in the hall before receiving the notice of entering the venue.

The opposite lawyer also had a lineup of one master and two assistants. Nick Hans put his legs crossed on the conference table defiantly, and waved his hand casually when he saw Xu Anyi, signaling her to take a seat.

Yang Zecheng focuses on intellectual property rights, and has seen many cases where he started with a well-thought-out plan and ended up defeated. Nick Hans' attitude is not very arrogant.However, he still kept an eye out, and whispered to Xu Anyi when he opened the folder: "If your client has any doubts, you should tell me in advance."

Xu Anyi glanced at the folder on the opposite side, and shook his head slightly.

Because once the lawsuit is formally filed, the reputation of Cavill's image and the sales of Qianshi will inevitably be affected, so the initiative to negotiate before the lawsuit lies with itself.

Yang Zecheng is very good at grasping the rhythm. From presenting evidence and appeals to dismantling and continuing to press the evidence, it can be seen that the other party retreats and retreats.Several times, Nick Hans couldn't hold back, put on a bad face, and whispered to the lawyer, and finally he didn't leave without the lawyer's persuasion.

The negotiation lasted until the fourth hour. As Lin Jiqiao's agent, Xu Anyi formally put forward the specific demands that she and Yang Zecheng had agreed upon, including civil compensation in the early stage and profit distribution in the later stage, and the methods were not limited to equity and cash.

Yang Zecheng took out Nick Hans' apology email and Kevin Dan's threatening email at the end. The opposing lawyer probably didn't expect the client to be so stupid, and obviously relaxed his attitude. The lawyer even called Hans by his first name to signal him Go out and talk privately.

Generally, this is a harbinger of intentions to accept a settlement.

"Shall we have dinner at home together in the evening?" Yang Zecheng said while sorting out the files, "My mother is still talking about you when I came out in the morning."

"Maybe not tonight, there's something else to do." Xu Anyi kept her eyes on her phone, replied a few emails and checked the messages. Lin Jiqiao and Zhan Siqi hadn't sent a message all day, so she sent a message to Zhan Siqi, asking if they had any questions. Didn't eat well or anything.

"You have to go to my house once before you go back to the United States. You know my mother may be really old, and I miss the old days."

With that said, Nick Hans and the lawyer returned to the venue.

The haze on the lawyer's face disappeared, and Hans also returned to the attitude he had before the negotiation started.

"We accept the request for a written apology, but compensation..." The opposing lawyer shrugged and exaggeratedly raised the corners of his mouth, "Sorry, we refuse to accept it."

Yang Zecheng didn't expect to go out for a trip, and the attitude of the other party was completely turned upside down, "Why?"

"Because..." Nick Hans took out the black folder from behind and threw it in front of them, "You are helping a paranoid and schizophrenic blackmailer."

On the way back, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng." Xu Anyi took the initiative to apologize, "I didn't expect him to bring this up."
