Chapter 309 Returning Still a Minor

Just as Feng Xuemei was about to continue arguing with her, Yun Li interrupted her.

"Alright, alright, you two stop fooling around. Let's order something to eat first. The steak here is pretty good; Xuemei and I have eaten here twice before. Weiwei, would you like some?"

Shen Xuewei nodded, "Okay, then I'll listen to Sister Yunli and get one. Your recommendation is definitely the right one."

The three of them each ordered a steak. While waiting for their food, Feng Xuemei and Yun Li carefully examined Shen Xuewei.

Feng Xuemei's eyes held a hint of admiration. "Yunli, Weiwei has been writing novels for several years now, hasn't she?"

Yun Li looked at her and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Feng Xuemei then looked at Shen Xuewei, "What I mean is, we've met so many novelists. Only Weiwei, after writing for six or seven years, is still a minor..."

Yun Li agreed, "There really is only one."

It was because of Shen Xuewei's special status that she had paid more attention to Shen Xuewei over the years.

Feng Xuemei nudged her shoulder, "Hey, Yunli, this is an author we nurtured together."

Yun Li smirked, "Stop flattering me. Weiwei is with me, not you."

"Bullshit, Weiwei submitted three applications for me."

"Ha, she submitted a few third-tier books to me. I was the first person to meet her, and I was the one who recommended her to you. How did you get the credit? She's an author I mentored, and she's still working for me now..."

Seeing the two start arguing in the blink of an eye, Shen Xuewei fell silent.

Seeing the two of them like this, she inexplicably felt as if her parents were divorcing and fighting for her custody.

Seeing that the two of them had started pinching each other's thighs, Shen Xuewei quickly told them to stop.

"Sister Yunli, Sister Xuemei, stop arguing. I was trained by you both, okay?"

The two snorted at each other and turned their heads away.

Just then, the steak and red wine were served.

As the three ate, Yun Li and Feng Xuemei calmed down.

Both of them work in Shanghai, and after learning that Shen Xuewei was going to university in Shanghai, they had wanted to meet up with her for a while.

Although it was their first meeting, they were already very familiar friends, and Shen Xuewei felt very relaxed in front of them.

The two of them were not much different in age from her in her previous life.

They were roughly the same age, and Shen Xuewei could basically keep up with whatever they said.

Neither of them found it strange, after all, they had worked for so many years and had come into contact with all sorts of people.

People like Shen Xuewei, on the contrary, are very compatible with them.

Having eaten almost all of her food, Feng Xuemei, who had been preparing for a long time, looked up at Shen Xuewei across from her.

"Weiwei, the three articles you submitted to me before all got amazing results. Are you really not considering writing another one?"

Shen Xuewei put down her knife and fork. "I'm sorry, Sister Xuemei, I want to try a different genre, so I won't be writing for now."

She asked curiously, "Sister Xuemei, didn't you just tell me a while ago that you'd discovered a pretty good author? They write about wealthy families and romance, and the feedback seems to be quite good."

Feng Xuemei sighed, "It's not bad, but it didn't reach your level of achievement."

"Many of the authors that the magazine collaborates with have been poached by newly emerging online novel platforms..."

She paused for a moment, then glared at Yun Li.

Yun Li touched her nose and turned her face to the side.

"With fewer and fewer promising authors cooperating with the magazine, the sales of Lock Love have declined with each issue due to multiple impacts."

Feng Xuemei picked up her glass, took a sip of red wine, and said wistfully:

"I think I might not be able to hold this position as editor-in-chief for long."

She had a feeling that the magazine was about to go bankrupt...

Shen Xuewei looked at Yun Li, who had become inexplicably excited when Feng Xuemei said those words.

"Hey Xuemei, do you want to work at Dreamweaver Book Gallery?"

Feng Xuemei glanced at her languidly.

"If I go to your place, will you be my editor-in-chief?"

Yun Li shook her head, "I can't offer the editor-in-chief position, I'll take it myself. But the deputy editor-in-chief position is vacant here..."

Feng Xuemei shook her fingertips in refusal, "It's still early."

Moreover, as someone who aspires to advancement, she would never allow herself to retreat.

Despite having their own worries, the three of them were still very satisfied with this rare gathering.

After a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, the students reunited at school.

Of the four people in the dormitory, Shen Xuewei spends the most time there every day.

Aside from necessary social interactions and attending classes, Shen Xuewei devoted the rest of her time to stock trading and writing novels.

When Huang Xin and Lu Jiayi returned from outside, they heard that familiar keyboard sound.

"Weiwei, what are you doing all day? Do you have so much to write?" Huang Xin asked, puzzled.

The keyboard clicks stopped, and Shen Xuewei's voice came from behind the curtain.

"nothing."

He only replied with those three words, and then there was no further communication.

Huang Xin muttered, "So secretive, and won't say anything when asked. They even used a curtain to hide it, but nobody in the dorm is peeking..."

Shen Xuewei ignored her words and saw that Lu Zhuyin and her sister had sent her a message on QQ inviting her to have lunch at the cafeteria.

After saving the 6,000 words she had written that day, she shut down her computer and left the dormitory.

After waiting for a few minutes in front of the dormitory building, the two sisters quickly appeared in front of her.

"Let's go! None of the three of us have classes this afternoon, so we can go to the cafeteria for lunch early. That's great!"

The three of them didn't ride bicycles; they just walked towards the cafeteria while talking.

Even Shen Xuewei herself didn't expect that, after more than two months of school, she would become the best friend of these two sisters who were not in the same major.

Lu Songyun said slyly, "Weiwei, why don't you guess who I am again?"

Shen Xuewei quickly lifted her arm, pushed up her coat sleeve, saw the red mole on the inside of her arm, and then pulled her sleeve down.

The entire sequence of movements takes less than two seconds.

Lu Songyun was still in a daze when she heard Shen Xuewei say confidently, "Songyun."

Lu Songyun immediately said, "Wrong..."

Before she could finish speaking, her sister covered her mouth.

"Shut up! Do you think Weiwei was tugging at your sleeve just now? She was looking for a mark."

Lu Songyun's eyes widened. "Sister, how could you be a traitor?"

Lü Jiayin looked helpless: "I didn't do it on purpose. Weiwei brought me a bottle of beer that day, and I was in a good mood, so I had a little. She accidentally tricked me into telling her something..."

Also caught in the trap were things that Shen Xuewei guessed correctly, but which were all denied by the two of them.

At this moment, Shen Xuewei spoke up in a sinister tone, "Lü Songyun, your sister apologized to me, shouldn't you also show your appreciation?"

Lü Songyun gave an awkward smile and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake.

"I'm sorry, Weiwei, it was my fault. I apologize to you, and I'll treat you to lunch at the cafeteria later."

Shen Xuewei nodded proudly, "That's more like it."

She knew it! After all this time, how could she not guess right even once? It was clearly the two sisters who were cheating.

She had just returned from eating in the cafeteria and sat down at the table when she received a call from Chen Fangli.

The two chatted for a while, and before hanging up, Chen Fangli hesitated and called out to her.

"Weiwei."

"Hmm? Second Aunt, what's wrong?"
