What's the result?

After marriage, all the sweetness we once had was soaked in oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and melted into a big pot of stew. It’s a pity to throw it away, but it tastes like a mixed bag when we eat it.

This book was first published on Taiwan Fiction Network → 𝘵𝘸𝘬𝘢𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮, providing you with a reading experience with correct chapters and no disordered chapters.

Zhou Jing usually seems like a cheerful person, but I never expected that he has so many sad stories.

It really is true that every family has its own problems.

Both Lin Yuyao and Liu Yihuan comforted her and told her to relax.

Go pick up the child when it's time to do so. When you bring her back, she'll be in the bookstore with a table nearby so she won't be disturbed from doing her homework.

When it was time to get off work, the mother and daughter went home together.

Anyway, we don’t live with the old lady, so just pretend she doesn’t exist.

Although they don't live in the same apartment, they actually live in the same building, and in the same unit.

There is a layer in the middle.

The old lady and her eldest son live on the first floor, and the mother and daughter live on the third floor.

Normally when we meet her downstairs, people pretend not to see her and don’t say a word to her for months.

It's rare to see someone so cruel even though they live so close to each other.

…

The first quarter sales report for Lin Yuyao's book is out. It's not a huge hit, but it's not bad either.

Song Qin said that as a new author, it is very good to achieve this sales volume.

She took a break to negotiate the price of the second book. When she got off the bus, she saw Song Qin standing next to the platform.

Lin Yuyao was flattered and surprised, "Sister Qin, are you picking me up here?"

"Yeah, come here." She waved at her mysteriously.

Lin Yuyao looked solemn, "Sister Qin, what's wrong?"

Song Qin called her aside and whispered to her, "When you negotiate the price of this book later, remember not to agree to a sale. This is a cheap sale. You should negotiate a profit share. This will ensure the greatest benefit. It's just that the return of the money will be a little slow. You are not in a hurry to use the money now, right?"

Of course, Lin Yuyao knew that buying the book in bulk was a cheap sale. She bought the book in bulk last time because she was in urgent need of money. Moreover, she wanted to open up the market with the first book, so of course she wanted the publisher to make more money.

But she didn't expect Song Qin to tell her such words.

Song Qin represents the interests of the publishing house, no wonder he had to wait for her here and tell her these things secretly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Thank you, Sister Qin."

Song Qin smiled, "Why are you being polite? I have my own selfish motives. I want to cooperate with you for a long time, and of course I want to gain benefits for you. However, after all, it is the publishing house that pays my salary, so there are some things I cannot say."

"I understand."

Their leader came over to negotiate the price. He was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing glasses and a serious expression.

The whole person is a combination of seriousness and humor.

After half an hour of debating, the final royalty was set at 10 percent.

After the price was agreed upon, Song Qin handed over the relevant procedures to her.

After he left, Song Qin whispered to her, "It's good to be able to get 10%. Here, new authors rarely sign royalties. Even if they do, it's good to get 8%. Yuyao, our leaders must be very optimistic about you."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I also want to thank Sister Qin for speaking up for me just now."

Song Qin smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask them to make the contract."

The contracts are prepared in advance and are ready-made. You just need to fill in the price, date, etc. in the blanks.

When signing, Song Qin looked at the pen in Lin Yuyao's hand in surprise.

"Oh my god, you're willing to buy this?"

Um?

Lin Yuyao looked at the pen in her hand, "What's wrong?"

"This is so expensive. I wanted to buy it, but I couldn't bear to spend the money and I couldn't wait for it to arrive. Of course, the main reason was that I couldn't bear to spend the money."

ah?

"Is this expensive?"

Song Qin: "Don't you know? Where are you from?"

"Someone gave it to me."

Song Qin: “…”

"He said it didn't cost any money, it was given to him by his company for free."

"What? Tell me which company is so generous that a pen is equivalent to several months' salary for me."

Lin Yuyao: “…” How many months’ salary is it worth?

She asked weakly, "Is it really so expensive?"

"Of course. Look at this brand."

What brand?

She doesn't recognize any brand.

"Maybe... they got the wrong one. I'll ask them some other day."

After signing the contract, Lin Yuyao went back, looking at the pen all the way.

It felt heavy in her hand, and it felt different from the ones she bought on the street.

And the writing is indeed very smooth and easy to use.

But if it is worth a few months' salary, it would be too extravagant.

By the way, from what Sister Qin said, it should really be a luxury item among fountain pens.

Fu Huaiyi actually gave her such an expensive pen.

well!

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to use it anymore. She took some scraps of cloth and sewed a beautiful pencil case and carefully put the pencil in it.

I thought to myself that I would return the pen to Fu Huaiyi when I met him someday.

I waited for a long time but didn't see him, but Lu Jiangting showed up.

This is unfortunate.

"Yuyao, wait."

At this time, Lin Yuyao had just got off work and was approached by Lu Jiangting on the way.

Lin Yuyao was no longer afraid of him. She shook off his outstretched arm with all her strength, "What are you doing? If you dare to do something like that in the street, don't force me to send you to the police station."

Her voice was quite loud, and Lu Jiangting was afraid of attracting the attention of passers-by, so he didn't dare to approach her again.

Just a few steps away, following not too close, not too far.

"Yuyao, I got my salary today."

Um?

What does it have to do with me?

"Congratulations. Now I can buy some delicious food for Fang Qing and her son."

"I got paid and it has nothing to do with them. This is our money. Yuyao, I'll take you to buy some clothes."

Lin Yuyao couldn't help but laugh. She finally heard the words she had dreamed of hearing in her previous life.

It turned out that he also knew that his salary had nothing to do with Fang Qing and her son.

It turned out that he also knew that his salary should be considered as joint property of the couple.

Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry you didn't have it when I needed it. I don't need clothes to wear now."

Originally she only had two sets of clothes. After she had money, she bought two more sets. Now she has four sets of clothes, including a beautiful skirt.

Hearing her say this, Lu Jiangting felt quite guilty.

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Yuyao, I'll buy you a set of clothes, and you return the ones Fu Huaiyi bought to him."

"Don't worry, I've already paid him back for the suit."

Lu Jiangting was stunned. "Really? That's great, Yuyao. I knew you had nothing to do with him. You only care about me."

Oh my god, you are still flattering yourself.

Lin Yuyao stopped, turned around and looked at Lu Jiangting and said, "Go to Fang Qing's house, take the left road, don't follow me, understand?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"I came to see you."

"If you really feel sorry for me, don't come to me. If you dare to harass me again, I will go find your Lao Wang."

Of course, Lao Wang was not that easy to find. She couldn’t even get in. She was just trying to scare him.

She wouldn't really do that unless it was absolutely necessary.

When the two were in a stalemate, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Jiang Ting, Yu Yao?"

It’s Fang Qing.
