Moonlight Episode 2 Recap
> Moonlight Recap
Zhou Chuan saw Chu Li's face outside the door and looked puzzled. Chu Li said she was from Yuan Yue Publishing House and came to discuss the new book contract, but Zhou Chuan said she had come to the wrong place. Chu Li thought she had come to the wrong place, but after a brief search, she learned that this was Zhou Chuan's home. Zhou Chuan heartlessly called the property management to ask her to leave quickly.
Chu Li met Gu Baizhi when she was on the verge of breaking down. Gu Baizhi asked the property management to let Chu Li go, and advised her that as a girl out alone, she should maintain some dignity, as Zhou Chuan didn't want to see her.
Gu Baizhi represented Xindun to talk to Zhou Chuan about signing the new book, offering five million for a full copyright buyout, but Zhou Chuan said he wanted to sign the book with an editor who had a human touch. Gu Baizhi said she had moved into this complex and they would see each other often in the future. Chu Li persistently waited by the door, but still didn't see Zhou Chuan.
Jiang Yucheng came to find Zhou Chuan and happened to meet Gu Baizhi. Gu Baizhi proactively greeted him, but Jiang Yucheng pretended not to hear and left. Zhou Chuan's home was incredibly messy, and Jiang Yucheng couldn't stand to look at it. Chu Li came to Yu Yao saying that Zhou Chuan was not satisfied with their contract.
Yu Yao said the guaranteed print run could not be changed casually and told her to talk to Director Liang if she had anything. Chu Li cautiously went to see Director Liang and even presented Zhou Chuan's data report, but Director Liang threw it into the trash, insisting that the guaranteed number could not be changed. Director Li Yu wanted to buy Jiang Yucheng's "Vanishing Zoo". General Manager Luo handed this matter over to Gu Baizhi.
Du Niaoniao had already asked her uncle to contact Jiang Yucheng. Lao Miao hoped she would sign him before Chu Li did. Chu Li bought coffee for Lao Miao to seek advice. Lao Miao said Zhou Chuan only had the success of one book, and people who peak upon debut are everywhere; offering him this guaranteed figure was already enough. Zhou Chuan on Weibo was a gentle and positive person.
Chu Li began to doubt if he was the same person she met during the day. Chu Li complained about this matter to Fox Jun. She also didn't forget to look up information about Zhou Chuan on Weibo. Her father sent a video call, asking about Chu Li's situation. Chu Li said she was living well and work was smooth. Immediately after, the light broke.
Her father quickly transferred money to her and instructed her to take good care of herself and not suffer too much hardship. Zhou Chuan went to walk his dog early in the morning. Chu Li was already waiting outside his door early. Zhou Chuan quickly put on a mask when he saw her. However, Chu Li still recognized Zhou Chuan through Er Gou. After accidentally getting her hand caught, Zhou Chuan finally softened and gave her some time.
Chu Li was a bit speechless seeing Zhou Chuan's messy home. Immediately after, Zhou Chuan took off his mask, and Chu Li was even more surprised. Chu Li quickly apologized for previous matters and tried various methods to persuade him to sign the contract, but none moved Zhou Chuan. Chu Li unwillingly said that Yuan Yue Publishing House was where Zhou Guxuan created sales miracles. Doesn't he want to surpass him here and create new miracles?
Although the conditions offered by Yuan Yue Publishing House were average, Chu Li believed that Zhou Chuan inwardly preferred Yuan Yue Publishing House more, and if she didn't succeed, she wouldn't be able to stay at Yuan Yue Publishing House. Chu Li cautiously left her business card and left feeling disappointed.
Gu Baizhi went to Jiang Yucheng's bookstore and said someone wanted to buy the copyright for "Vanishing Zoo" to make a movie, which was a great opportunity, but Jiang Yucheng refused, saying he didn't want to sell the copyright. Gu Baizhi thought Jiang Yucheng was avoiding her, unaware that Jiang Yucheng didn't want any involvement with her, even if the opportunity was rare. Zhou Chuan came to the bookstore and was told Jiang Yucheng had left early.
Monkey Jun sent another message complaining about the day's events. Zhou Chuan stared at this familiar experience for a long time, took out Chu Li's business card, searched by phone number, and only then discovered that Monkey Jun was Chu Li! Chu Li happened to come to buy books. Zhou Chuan quickly hid, but they happened to bump into each other. Chu Li asked Zhou Chuan to reconsider the signing matter. Zhou Chuan walked away somewhat flustered.
Jiang Yucheng was at home watching a movie and crying. Zhou Chuan ran over to complain to him about his online friend. According to Jiang Yucheng, that online friend was the one Zhou Chuan held his phone and giggled foolishly about every day, like he was in love. Zhou Chuan skirted around the coincidences and said that online friend was now his editor, and he had driven her away in a very bad mood.
Jiang Yucheng advised Zhou Chuan to sign the contract. Zhou Chuan wanted to become a top author, surpassing his father, so he should sign the contract even more. Jiang Yucheng could tell Zhou Chuan's thoughts at a glance; he actually really wanted to sign. Jiang Yucheng said Gu Baizhi came today, so his mood was bad. After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Chuan sent Chu Li a message, asking her to come with the contract at eleven o'clock tomorrow.
The next morning, as soon as the alarm rang, Zhou Chuan started showering and getting ready, waiting for Chu Li to come. After finally waiting for Chu Li to arrive with the contract, Zhou Chuan couldn't find the studio's stamp. Lao Miao scolded A Xiang. Seeing this, Chu Li quickly stepped forward to intervene, explaining that she had gone to Zhou Chuan's house to sign the contract, but Zhou Chuan couldn't find the stamp.
Just as Lao Miao was about to scold Chu Li, Yu Yao came to help her out. A Xiang thanked Chu Li. Chu Li said her illustrations were very interesting. The two became friends. A Xiang asked Chu Li to get a signed photo next time she went to see Zhou Chuan. Chu Li couldn't help but send a message asking Zhou Chuan if he had found the stamp, and decided to go to Zhou Chuan's house at noon.
Lao Miao told Chu Li to organize the library. Chu Li was still absorbed in the matter of Jiang Yucheng's comeback. Du Niaoniao heard that Chu Li was a fan of Jiang Yucheng and asked her to help with a PPT, but Chu Li politely refused, believing that understanding Jiang Yucheng was part of her job. Chu Li sent a message asking Zhou Chuan if she could visit his house at noon. Zhou Chuan was a little jealous, thinking Chu Li only looked for him about the stamp and nothing else.
