Ning Qingyuan quickly signed the contract in his hand. As soon as he put down the pen and said something to Zhang Xu, it was like an arrow on a string, shot out with a chirp, and he was already sitting in front of Ning Xiyue.

"What are you talking about? You seem so happy." Ning Qingyuan interrupted their conversation, gritted his teeth and looked at their faces with a stiff smile, and finally his eyes fell on Ji Yanming.

Ji Yanming slowly put away the smile on his face and restrained his expression. The revolution had just begun, and he couldn't be discovered by the enemy so quickly and affect the progress of his revolution.

Because he was very sensitive, he could clearly feel an unusual anger coming from Ning Qingyuan in front of him. Based on his understanding of the two brothers, they would only be obstacles to him and not friends in his camp.

Ji Yanming tried his best to calm the other party's anger, nodded naturally to Ning Qingyuan, and answered his questions simply as if he knew nothing. In fact, every word he said was to divert the conflict and lower the other party's vigilance.

"Oh, I heard Xiyue say that she would take you to Jing City to eat roast duck when she has time. I also said that you two have a great brother-sister relationship. I'm very envious."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Qingyuan's anger subsided, and the expression on his face was replaced by a sincere smile, with a hint of complacency in his words.

"Really? Then you can't envy her. Only my sister would be so kind. Comrade Ji, without a sister, will never understand."

"Yes, I will never understand. I am not as lucky as you to have a sister."

The cunning Ji Yanming happily agreed with his words and nodded vigorously in agreement, which made Ning Qingyuan completely obedient.

Ning Qingyuan raised his neck like a proud rooster: You are a sensible boy.

Ning Xiyue watched the two people's quiet performance with a smile, and waited until they had almost finished talking before asking about Ning Qingyuan's situation.

"Brother, have you finished your conversation with Editor-in-Chief Zhang? How did it go? Can the article be published?"

"That's right, your brother is going to be the equivalent of two men, it's already been confirmed."

Ning Qingyuan felt lost for a moment when he said this: "But this time there is no royalties, only two books, so I can't buy candy for my sister."

Ning Xiyue consoled him, "Both manuscripts are good too, and they're great starts. Brother, you're already amazing. Many people submit their manuscripts but they don't get selected, but you got one in the first try. This shows that you, second brother, are very talented."

"Very impressive." Ji Yanming also gave a thumbs up in praise.

Ning Qingyuan saw that he had almost sold out his secret and laughed a few times: "Haha, then I have another good news to tell you. I will get my salary in a month."

He originally came for the royalties, but after the discussion he realized that most of the time there was no royalties for submissions, and he would only get some notebooks, pens, daily necessities and other things.

However, Chief Editor Zhang saw that his manuscript was in line with the style of a new column in the newspaper, and out of friendship, he helped him get the opportunity to write for the educated youth column.

From then on, he was equivalent to a temporary worker hired by the newspaper, who was required to contribute six articles every month. Occasionally, he would have temporary writing tasks and would not have to report to the newspaper. In this way, he would receive a salary of ten yuan a month.

Ning Qingyuan was very satisfied with the job and immediately decided to sign the contract. In one word, do it.

He told Ning Xiyue and Ji Yanming about the temporary job and received another round of praise from them.

"Brother, this is better than submitting an article. It's like you have a stable job, which is great." Ning Xiyue was happy for her second brother and clinked the tea glasses in her hand to celebrate.

The three of them clinked their water cups together, joyful smiles on their faces.

"cheers."

After taking a sip, Ning Qingyuan raised the cup and handed it to Ji Yanming.

"Brother Ji, I still have to thank you. You helped me a lot to get the job I have today. Thank you."

Although he was wary of Comrade Ji kidnapping his sister, it did not prevent him from thanking Comrade Ji when he should. These are two different things.

"I'm glad I could help you. We are friends, there's no need to say this." Ji Yanming smiled calmly, picked up the water cup in front of him and clinked it with Ning Qingyuan's cup.

Ji Yanming then recounted his previous experience in writing articles, which Ning Qingyuan listened to with great interest.

He had also contributed articles to this newspaper in the past, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang Xu was his childhood friend, so he had contributed a lot to his childhood friend's work and he didn't even know how many articles he had written.

Therefore, he has rich writing experience and can give Ning Qingyuan a lot of advice.

When Ning Qingyuan found out, he immediately took out his notebook and asked Ji Yanming about his writing skills.

This was just as Ji Yanming wanted. He had to teach him without reservation and it was his duty to please his future uncle.

Ning Qingyuan listened carefully and asked questions actively.

Ning Xiyue supported her chin and watched the two people discussing literary matters, which fascinated her.

I didn't expect that Comrade Ji is such a versatile and outstanding person who knows everything.

Her second brother is also very outstanding and eager to learn.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them was very harmonious, which was in stark contrast to Ning Qingyuan's gritted teeth and angry look when he first walked over.

This harmonious situation was not destroyed until Zhang Xu came with the signed and stamped contract.

Zhang Xu handed over the contract and two notebooks representing his royalties, then extended his right hand: "Comrade Ning, welcome to join us."

"Thank you, thank you, it's my honor." Ning Qingyuan held the contract and notebook in his left hand, held Zhang Xu's hand with his right hand, and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

After leaving the newspaper, Ning Qingyuan kept looking at the contract, and from time to time he would show it to Ning Xiyue, a typical example of excessive excitement.

"Sister, this is my first job. I'll buy you some candy when I get my salary next month. We'll each have one notebook."
