Negotiations went on for an hour but there were no result results. Zheng Fulong won't give more than 10% and Lei Feng was still at 30%. So he took out his trump card.
"How about this Mr. Zheng, we enter a wager agreement. If we reach the below standards I will take corresponding royalties."
then he took out a piece of paper from his bag and started writing.
Sales - Royalties
1,000,000 - 10%
2,500,000 - 15%
5,000,000 - 20%
7,500,000 - 25%
10,000,000 or plus - 30 %
Agreeing to this proposal they drafted a contract in duplicate after which he handed over all other study materials to Mr. Zheng and asked him to print with the maximum possible speed and also create soft online copies for people outside the Lotus City.

On the third day after negotiations. Lei Feng called the Zheng group and was assured that they had enough products to meet immediate demand. They wanted to know how his advertising part on his end was going.
He assured Mr. Zheng that there would be no problem on his side.
Just wait and start counting money.
He checked the broadcasting software one more time on his new device and seeing it running smoothly, he felt relieved.
Lei Feng left early because The College Entrance Exam results would be announced this afternoon. Everyone is required to gather at school to collect scorecards.
Lei Feng met with Xu Lei and his family and took their car to school. They parked their car some distance from the school gate since there was too much traffic.
"The College Entrance Exam Results" banner was hung on the school gate and a lot of parents and children were entering the school. They soon went inside and lined up outside Mr. Wang Hao's office.
He is the Dean of Education and he will be distributing the scorecards to each student.
Soon it was their turn, excited Xu Lei who was lined ahead called his roll number, and Mr. Wang went to the cabinet and came back with a laminated scorecard.
"Xiao Lei you scored 618, not bad son. Keep up the good work and make the nation proud."
"Congratulations Mr. Xu, your child might be able to get a decent course in a prestigious College." Wang Hao said with a smile on his face.
Uncle Xu was grinning from ear to ear and asked Lei Feng to tell his roll number as well.
"Your parents didn't come? Hmm, I have an impression of this roll number. Let me see...."
"Sir, Uncle Xu is my guardian." Lei Feng kept it short.
"Hmm Let me see....73...735!!!!!!!"
"No wonder I felt I had seen this roll number. Turns out to be the City Topper!! Hahahaha!!! Congratulations Lei Feng and Mr. Xu."
"You are the highest science stream scorer in the city as well as the school. Also, you are ranked 2nd in the province and 15th in the whole Country! Brilliant!!!! It is a blessing to have a student like you. Hahaha come here kid." excitement in the room couldn't be described in words.
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu were teary-eyed, holding the two scorecards.
Xu Lei instantly hugged him like a real brother.
"Take this with you Lei Feng, although it's not much but this is a reward from my side" Wang Hao sent a red envelope to him.
Lei Feng took it without hesitating which made the smile on Wang Hao's face brighter.
Soon they came out and met a huge crowd at the gate. Turns out Ancient Group has spent a lot of money to invite journalists. There was now a van parked near the gate with banners of
Gu Feitian and Zhao Lang were standing there answering the journalists. Apparently, the sisters went inside to collect the scorecard.
As for why they were so confident to write banners like this? Gu Feitian used his connections in the office to check his son's score before others. He knew his son performed really well and got 670 points which was 10 higher than last year's highest score.
So he shamelessly assumed his son would be the topper.
He saw Lei Feng coming out and ignored him like a fly and forgetting the negotiations that happened in the hospital.
Lei Feng and the Xu family waited to the side since they promised to meet Zhu Yiting there.
After this, they probably won't meet again so they all planned to go to a family dinner after this.
Soon Zhu Yiting came, and after greeting them she went inside to collect her scorecard.
Gu Tianchen and three sisters also came out cheering all the way. Gu Tianchen in C-position of this parade like a hero but only he knew what happened inside.
Turns out when he asked Wang Hao if he is the highest scorer this time around (He already knew the score but not the position), Wang Hao only sighed and broke the news to him.
He was #3 in the city. Yes 'Third'.
His mind was a mess but he got himself straight and walked out to meet her sisters and the crowd. Now they are at the gate. Reporters didn't give him a chance to contact his parents surrounded him with mics and started asking
"Young Master Gu, How much did you score?
"Young Master Gu did you get the highest score in the city"
"Master Gu..."
"How do you feel Master Gu?"
numerous questions bombarded him so bodyguards came forward to control the crowd.
Gu Tianchen looked at his father who nodded to him. He gathered his courage, tightened his ass, and finally said, "I scored 670 marks in this exam."
"This is 10 points higher than last year's city topper."
"No more questions please, I am tired."
with that, he was escorted out of the crowd. The reporters thought something was amiss but what did they have to do with truth as long as the news was sold well?
They made up the rest of the story themselves.
Hearing them adding spices to his words in the background he got into the car and left alone.
Gu Ling looked at Lei Feng still standing there whispered "Mom, Lei Feng is also here. Should we ask his score?"
"Can you please not mention him at this time? It's a letdown." Zhao Lang rolled her eyes at her. "He didn't do well in the monthly exams, so how can he do well in the college entrance exams?"
Mr. Wang Hao, Mr. Long Chen(Principal) walked out with a banner. Zhu Yiting was with them as well. When they reached the gate Zhu Yiting left the crowd and met Lei Feng along with her parents.
Both Parents exchanged polite greetings. This was the first time Lei Feng and Xu Lei saw Zhu Yiting's parents. They looked like celebrities on the internet.
Upon asking she decided to have a faceoff. Turns out her family runs the biggest jewelry business in the Lotus city and nearby cities. Their wealth nearing billions. She wanted to get along with them as usual so she never showed off her wealth.
Both of them were stunned.

Gu Feitian on the other hand was busy answering all the calls he received congratulating his son's performance in the college entrance exam.
The stock of Ancient Group had soared by 4% and it was nearing the 5% upper circuit already.
Gu Feitian was smiling ear to ear, unaware of the disaster he would be facing next.
