Little did she know that Jiang Mengxue didn't want to talk directly at all, but it was the right thing to do.

When you know nothing, don't pretend to know everything and talk nonsense to others.

The other party can find out your true nature in just a few words, and the final result is that you will be led by the other party.

Xiahou Liang also guessed that Jiang Mengxue didn't really understand the contract at all, and the so-called going home to discuss it was just to ask someone who knew a little about it.

The final request was just to raise the price, so Xiahou Liang was not worried at all.

So later when Gu Zhenjiang came to negotiate with me, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Wu Shuke glanced through the contract and only understood the price of two thousand yuan.

He shook his head. "I don't understand either. Do you know anyone you can ask? Two thousand yuan isn't a small amount, after all. No one can guarantee how much will be sold in the end. If we split the profits, if the sales volume isn't ideal, the final share might not even be two thousand yuan."

Two thousand is just the base price, we can definitely negotiate it up, I think four thousand will be no problem for you."

Jiang Mengxue didn't say anything. Although she was not sure how many copies could be sold in the end, she believed that they could sell at least tens of thousands of copies in the city.

If it is sold to other provinces in the future, the specific quantity will be inestimable.

However, Jiang Mengxue also knew that Wu Shuke was speaking sincerely, so she thanked him, "Thank you, Team Leader Wu. I will go home and discuss it with my family, and I will also settle this matter as soon as possible."

Wu Shuke didn't understand why Jiang Mengxue had to go home and discuss it with her family. No one in the family knew anything about this. What was the difference between that and a few illiterate people reading a text together? They still wouldn't understand anything.

"Doctor Jiang, is your family knowledgeable about this? Otherwise, we might not be able to come up with anything. It's better to ask a professional."

Jiang Mengxue shrugged: "I don't know anyone in this field. My second uncle works in the Education Bureau, so he must know more people than I do. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my former teachers."

Wu Shuke also understood when he heard that Jiang Mengxue's second uncle worked in the Education Bureau.

Even if her second uncle doesn't understand, she can find someone who does, and he is indeed more reliable than an outsider.

"Okay, Team Leader Wu, I won't disturb you from working any longer. I'll be going back now."

As soon as Jiang Mengxue returned to the meeting room, Xie Sheng sat down with her.

"What does Team Leader Wu want to talk to you about? What instructions does he have?" After saying that, he saw the contract Jiang Mengxue placed on the table.

"What is this? Can I see it?"

Jiang Mengxue pushed it over and gestured for her to take a look. There was no information on the initial contract, and even the price was only tentatively determined, so there was nothing she couldn't see.

Xie Sheng exclaimed when he saw the price at the back: "Wow, there are so many, are you going to sign with them?"

Jiang Mengxue continued to flip through her own little folk remedies and shook her head: "No, I'll take it back and let Second Uncle take a look. They will come back in a few days."

Xie Sheng agreed: "As it should be, signing a contract is no small matter."

At noon, the two of them ate directly in the cafeteria, while everyone in the conference room was actively learning new knowledge.

Jiang Mengxue and Xie Sheng found it boring.

In fact, they don’t have to come every day. The other doctors are doing their own things. Only the female comrades who come to study from the lower teams will come to attend classes every day.

Jiang Mengxue planned to go home where it was quieter.

"Sister Sheng, I'm going home. Are you coming back?"

Xie Sheng hesitated a little: "Doctor Yang asked me to go to the department to familiarize myself with it when I have time. Do you want to go with me?"

Jiang Mengxue shook her head. She was not a doctor at the Second Hospital, so why should she find work for herself?

Xie Sheng felt a little regretful: "Hey, it would be great if you could come to the Second Hospital too, so we could work together."

"What's the big deal? It's not far away anyway.

Then you go ahead, I'm going back now, remember to come back for dinner in the evening."

Jiang Mengxue did not go home directly, but went to the street where the Women's Federation was located, intending to see if Er Niang was there.

Jiang Mengxue knew where this was thanks to the big sign outside: Qinghe City Xicheng Women's Federation.

Jiang Mengxue walked to the door and looked inside, but saw no one in the yard.

There was no one on duty at the door, so Jiang Mengxue didn't know whether to go in directly.

"Hello comrade, who are you looking for?"

Jiang Mengxue was just about to step in when a female voice came from behind her. She turned around and found a woman in her twenties staring at her.

"Hello, I'm looking for Comrade Li Cuiying. I'm her family member. Is she in the office?"

Ding Siyu looked puzzled. She remembered that Director Li's family only had the couple and no one else.

"I'm a staff member of the Women's Federation. My name is Ding Siyu. I haven't heard that Director Li has other family members. Are you a relative of Director Li's?"

Jiang Mengxue scratched her head embarrassedly: "I guess so. My husband is your Director Li's nephew. Is he here now?"

Ding Siyu understood and guessed Jiang Mengxue's identity at once.

Thinking of what her cousin said last time, Ding Siyu's face turned bad: "Director Li is not here. She has so many things to deal with every day. How can she have time to sit in the office every day?"

Jiang Mengxue didn't know what the other person was thinking. It was as if her eyes were twitching and she wanted to look at people out of the corner of her eyes.

Since Er Niang was not there, Jiang Mengxue was too lazy to say anything to the other party.

"Since you're not here, forget it. I'll go back first." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the other person's attitude.

Li Cuiying often has to deal with family disputes and the problems faced by women, which is actually quite busy.

Because she has been planning to retire in the past few years, most of the matters are handled by the deputy director, and Li Cuiying only goes there when she is free.

The deputy director was her personally chosen successor, a woman named Liang Jingyi, who was only in her thirties. However, she was very efficient and got to the point when handling things.

Li Cuiying was very satisfied with her, so she took her with her in everything she did in the past two years, and this year she took over most of the things.

Jiang Mengxue went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two pounds of tofu with tofu coupons.

When you buy tofu, you have to bring your own bowl to put it in. There are no plastic bags now.

Jiang Mengxue took out her own iron lunch box, which was just enough to hold two pounds of tofu.

I plan to make some spicy soup with pancakes in the evening. It’s best to have hot soup in such cold weather, and stir-fry the rest with chili peppers.

I walked home carrying my lunch box, feeling lazy under the sun.

The closer you get to home, the more you can hear people chattering.

Jiang Mengxue was curious about what was happening and walked forward towards the sound.

Unexpectedly, we arrived at the door of Old Liu's house again. Many elderly people and women and children who did not work were standing at the door.

Jiang Mengxue moved closer, wanting to hear what everyone was talking about.

"The Liu family is such a jerk. I've never seen anyone in the surrounding area treat their daughter-in-law like this."

"That's exactly what happened. A healthy baby is gone. I heard it weighed only two kilograms when it was born and died of suffocation in the womb."
