Chapter 308 Chen Bingzhi's attempt to join the group was rejected.
Chapter 308 Chen Bingzhi's attempt to join the group was rejected.
"No."
"Then you can call Chen Bingzhi too, I want to ask about Sister Song."
"Row."
Lin Yuyao was cooking upstairs, while Fu Huaiyi went downstairs to the phone booth to make a call.
He returned just as she finished cooking.
"how's it going?"
"I contacted a friend of mine, and he agreed to help investigate Lao Niu and see what's going on. He also called the Chen family, but Chen Bingzhi left Yunhua Publishing House two months ago and doesn't know anything about Sister Song. However, he can be contacted and promised to ask for you. He should call the bookstore tomorrow, so keep an eye out."
"Oh, that works too."
When the last soup was ready, she tasted it and it was just right.
"Wash your hands, grab your chopsticks and get your food. Time to eat."
"Hey."
Seeing her busy figure, Fu Huaiyi ate a few bites and suddenly said, "Why don't we hire a nanny?"
Lin Yuyao looked up and asked, "Why hire a nanny?"
"Cooking? We'll hire a housekeeper to cook for us."
Lin Yuyao: "Didn't I cook it well?"
what?
"No, of course your cooking is delicious. I just think it must be too hard for you to work during the day and cook at night."
"Weren't you doing it with me?"
“I can still work with you now, but I’ll be busy next month and may not even have time to come home for dinner, let alone cook.”
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"No need. If you're not coming back for dinner, just let me know in advance. I'll come back and cook if I'm free, but if I'm busy, I'll eat out and won't cook."
The main issue is that there's really no need for the two of them to hire a nanny.
Moreover, the house is small, and the nanny would have to take up another room, so we only cook one meal a day for them.
That's such a waste.
Fu Huaiyi said, "Cleaning also requires people."
“The house is so small, a few brooms will be enough.” Lin Yuyao sighed and said, “It’s really not necessary now. But when we move and have children, we will definitely need a nanny. Besides, I’m not used to having strangers around.”
He hadn't been persuaded by the previous points, but after thinking about the last one carefully, he realized it was indeed inconvenient.
Living in a big house requires a nanny; in such a small house, if another person squeezes in...
Oh my god, I can't even imagine that.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. If you're free, you can do it. If you don't want to do it, you can go to a restaurant. Our parents give us a thousand yuan for living expenses. We can eat as much as we want. We can't even finish eating out every day."
For Fu Huaiyi, food and drink don't cost much; he spends all his money on spiritual nourishment.
I haven't been to the antique street since I got married, but suddenly remembering it makes me feel a bit restless.
How about... we go shopping this weekend?
No, he doesn't have any money.
Now that Yao Yao is starting a magazine, she needs money right now, so he can't ask her for money at this crucial moment.
……
She didn't receive a call from Chen Bingzhi, but instead received a call from Chen Bingzhi and Song Qin around noon.
"Sister Song? You're here?"
Song Qin nodded and then asked, "Are you taking a lunch break? Shall we go to a restaurant and talk while we eat?"
Lin Yuyao turned to look at the store manager, Zhou Jing, who nodded to her. "Go ahead, just come over at 1:30 this afternoon."
"You still need to pick up your child."
Liu Yihuan said, "I'm here for you, so don't worry."
"Thank you."
Lin Yuyao thanked them before leaving with Song Qin and Chen Bingzhi.
It was the same restaurant and the same private room as last time.
There are very few customers during lunchtime, and the private rooms are usually empty, which is very convenient.
After ordering the food, they started talking about the publishing house while waiting for it.
Chen Bingzhi said, "I heard about the threats you were made to me yesterday from Brother Yi."
Lin Yuyao: "..." Why is he spreading this everywhere?
"We've known about Niu De for a long time. The higher-ups are secretly investigating him, so there are some things I can't tell you. But don't worry, he'll get into trouble sooner or later, and soon enough. Your book won't be shelved for five years, so the impact won't be too great."
Lin Yuyao looked at Song Qin.
Song Qin nodded as well.
“He disagreed with my resignation, but he was just trying to stall me so he could sign a contract with you in my name. I didn’t want to go through all that trouble with them, so I went through the resignation process directly. Whether he approves it or not, he has to let me leave in a month. As for now, I’m saying I have some family matters to attend to and I’ve taken leave.”
She was wrong. It was true that President Niu wouldn't approve it, but she wasn't suspended. She simply took leave to avoid it.
"I'm glad you're alright. I was worried something had happened to you when a new, unfamiliar editor called me."
Song Qin smiled and said, "It was my oversight; I should have told you."
Chen Bingzhi asked, "Are you planning to start your own publishing house?"
Lin Yuyao: "It's a magazine publishing company, preparing to publish a monthly magazine."
"Wow, a monthly magazine? That's great, it's quite rare on the mainland."
Lin Yuyao nodded with a smile.
"Have you decided on the subject matter yet?"
Lin Yuyao and Song Qin exchanged a glance, only smiling and saying nothing.
Chen Bingzhi understood that since the magazine hadn't even opened yet, they certainly wouldn't discuss the magazine's content with outsiders.
"Do you need more people? Maybe I can join in too."
“You?” Song Qin said, “You make children’s content, this is not suitable.”
“I create content for children, but I never said I couldn’t create content for adults. Why don’t you give me a try? Maybe I can succeed.”
Lin Yuyao smiled and shook her head. "Difficult."
"Huh? I can't do it?"
"It's highly unlikely that it can be done."
For a man to create children's content is quite a leap forward.
She couldn't even imagine him writing young adult literature for women.
Can he understand what a young girl is thinking?
This made Chen Bingzhi even more curious.
What kind of magazine are you guys making?
“You’ll see when it’s over.” Song Qin tapped the corner of the table and said, “Xiao Chen, you should stay in the Ministry of Culture. It’s a good place, and not just anyone can get in. Why are you messing around with a small workshop like ours? There’s no future in it, and your family might not even agree.”
As a second-generation rich kid, he went to Yunhua Publishing House to get some experience after graduation. He only worked there for a little over a year before being transferred to the Ministry of Culture.
His family has probably already planned out his future; he can't really do whatever he wants.
But they are different; they have to rely on themselves.
……
After talking with Song Qin and the others, Lin Yuyao felt more confident.
The higher-ups know some of what President Niu did, and they are currently conducting a secret investigation.
He's finished; it's only a matter of time.
Lin Yuyao no longer cares about the publishing house; let them withhold the copyright if they want, it doesn't matter to her.
Instead, he focused his energy on his own magazine.
She frantically browsed through various magazines in the bookstore, including traditional Chinese versions from Hong Kong and Macau.
While planning the content for their magazine.
In addition, the Industry and Commerce Bureau called her to confirm the name, which was Xingyun Society.
Shining like a star, drifting freely like a cloud.
This was also her first choice among the three names.
Very satisfied.
