Chapter 141 Autograph Session "I just admire his talent!"...
When Wang Ying mentioned the new product, everyone stood up.
"What new product?" Zhou Qianjin's voice trembled with excitement.
"A new product in the Panda Biscuit series." Wang Ying said as he opened the file bag and handed the information inside to Xu Lili.
Zhou Qianjin and others surrounded Xu Lili.
Lu Zhongming, now also a member of the R&D team, was the first to ask, "Do you have a recipe for this cookie filling?"
"There is no recipe, you guys have to try it." Wang Ying said.
Lu Zhongming said: "It's not easy to make. The taste and texture have to match the biscuits outside. The sum of the two must be greater than the sum of the two."
"We only do it because it's difficult!" Wang Ying said with a smile. "If anyone can make it, how does that make our Panda brand cookies look special? We have to make it difficult, and preferably something that no one else can make."
Zhou Qianjin said, "The director is right. We should do it if it's difficult. If we succeed, we'll be the first. Then we can sell it all over the country!"
"Okay, then it's up to you," Wang Ying said. "I suggest you split into two groups, one to make the cookies and one to make the fillings. I'll follow up with you at all times. Feel free to contact me if you need anything. Our advantage right now is that our superiors value us very much and basically respond to any requests we have, so we can't let them down."
Several people nodded.
Wang Ying returned to his original seat in the office and continued, "Please review my plan and discuss the grouping and work arrangements. I'll be here to listen."
After several people passed around the documents brought by Wang Ying, they began a discussion meeting.
Wang Ying listened and took notes, not interrupting them until they had formed their groups and had completed their discussion. Only then did Wang Ying offer some additional comments. Over the past few years, these individuals had grown considerably and were now capable of leading their own independent work.
"Then follow the arrangements you discussed and remember to submit your work reports to me every day." Wang Ying reminded before leaving.
Wang Ying returned to her office and found Director Xiang reading. Director Xiang hadn't been doing math problems lately and had mostly been reading, probably preparing for the next lesson.
"Director, what subjects will you teach?" Wang Ying asked.
Director Xiang said, "Advanced mathematics."
"That sounds impressive," Wang Ying said. "I just announced the new product's mission. Now it's up to them."
"Well, no rush." Director Xiang didn't even raise his head and continued reading.
Director Xiang always said there was no rush, but Wang Ying was very anxious. She wanted Director Xiang to return to university as soon as possible. Talents should return to places where they can shine.
Wang Ying was anxious, but the progress of the new sandwich biscuits was very slow. They made several kinds of biscuits, and Wang Ying tried them. They were all okay and could be used as long as the taste was adjusted in the end. However, they could not make the sandwich suitable, either too soft or too hard.
In order to debug a suitable formula as soon as possible, Wang Ying spent all day with the R&D team. She also tried many formulas herself, but all failed.
While Wang Ying's new product development is stalled, Zhao Yunsheng has good news. Zhao Yunsheng's new book is finally coming to market! Bai Tong invites Zhao Yunsheng to the provincial capital to attend a literary and artistic seminar and a book signing for "New Life" in the provincial capital.
"Book signing, book signing, I need to practice signing my name." Zhao Yunsheng sat at his desk, writing his name quickly. After practicing for a while, Zhao Yunsheng asked his "deskmate" Wang Ying, "Yingzi, do you think no one will go to the book signing?"
"How could there be no one? This book is serialized in a magazine and the response has been very good. We have received a lot of letters from readers. Don't worry, great writer, there will definitely be people going. The queue will be at least two miles long. Just be prepared to sign autographs until your hands hurt." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng chuckled, "That would be great. I'm also very interested in the literary and artistic seminar. Most importantly, I'm finally going to meet Bai Tong. Bai Tong is the person I should thank the most for my current situation."
Wang Ying paused, resting her chin on her hand and glancing sideways at Zhao Yunsheng. She was genuinely happy for him, but Zhao Yunsheng was wrong. He should be most grateful to her, Wang Ying, for his success as a writer. In his previous life, Zhao Yunsheng had been devastated after his manuscripts were burned, and he had never become a successful writer.
Yueyue's crying interrupted Wang Ying's thoughts. She got up to check on her daughter. Yueyue was more than four months old and could roll over. As long as her diaper was wet, she would start to roll over. She looked cute and clean.
Wang Ying changed Yueyue's diaper and stopped dealing with work. She took her daughter to bed and soon fell asleep with her daughter. Before falling asleep, Wang Ying thought vaguely that she seemed to have something to say to Zhao Yunsheng just now, but she forgot.
When Wang Ying woke up early the next morning, she remembered what she was going to say to Zhao Yunsheng.
"Yunsheng, when you go to the provincial capital, you will go to see Zhenhua, right?" Wang Ying asked.
"Well, it's a rare opportunity to go there, so let's go see him," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"I just need your help with something," Wang Ying said. "We're launching a new product, and we'd like him to design the packaging. I'll write down my ideas and the basics of the product, and you can give them to him and have him work on it. When he comes back from summer vacation, you can bring back the plan."
"Okay," Zhao Yunsheng said. "Come to think of it, I once asked him to design the cover for my book. I didn't get the chance this time. It's all up to the editor and publisher to decide."
"When the hardcover edition comes out, I'll ask him to design it." Wang Ying said with a smile.
Zhao Yunsheng leaned over and kissed Wang Ying: "You have such a sweet mouth and are really good at talking."
Two days later, Zhao Yunsheng took the early train to the provincial capital, and Wang Ying saw him off.
Standing on the platform, Zhao Yunsheng said with emotion, "I always sent you on business trips before, and this time it's your turn to send me off."
Wang Ying laughed: "It's a pity that I don't have your good literary talent, so I can't write a prose for my husband."
Zhao Yunsheng also laughed: "I can write the essay my wife gave me, it's the same. It just happens to echo the previous essay."
"Okay, then wait for you to come back and show it to me," said Wang Ying.
The departure time was approaching, and Zhao Yunsheng had to board the train, but he was reluctant to leave. He was reluctant to send Wang Ying off on a business trip, and he was also reluctant to leave Wang Ying and go out on his own.
"Hurry up and get in the car, rising star of the literary world!" Wang Ying urged.
Zhao Yunsheng carried his luggage and boarded the train. After getting on the train, he and Wang Ying looked at each other through the glass. Wang Ying waved at him and did not rush to leave.
Only after the train departed did Wang Ying leave the station and go directly to work.
When the train was one stop away from the provincial capital, Zhao Yunsheng was inspired and began to write prose.
At this time, Wang Ying had already finished get off work and was having dinner.
"I don't know where Yunsheng is." said Chen Xiuqin.
"According to the time, we should reach the provincial capital in about an hour." Wang Ying said after looking at his watch.
"He's going alone. I wonder if anyone will pick him up."
Director Zhao said, "He's already thirty, not thirteen. Why are you worried?"
"Haven't you heard that a mother worries about her child even when he's thousands of miles away?" Chen Xiuqin glared at Director Zhao, then turned to Wang Ying and said, "Yingzi, can you take care of Yueyue by yourself at night? Do you want me to sleep with you?"
"No need, Mom. It's hard enough for you to take care of her during the day. Yueyue is very well behaved. I can take care of her by myself." Wang Ying said.
Chen Xiuqin did not force him and started talking about Zhao Yunsheng again, saying that she also wanted to see what her son's new book signing event was like.
Wang Ying actually wanted to watch it too.
That night, Wang Ying carried her daughter upstairs to bed. Yueyue fell asleep quickly after feeding, but Wang Ying couldn't fall asleep. She was clearly tired, but her mind was clear. Without someone around, something felt off. When she was on business trips, she ate well, slept well, and didn't miss home much. But now that Zhao Yunsheng was gone, she felt a little unaccustomed.
Is this what it feels like to be alone in an empty room? Oh, she wasn't alone in an empty room, she still had Yueyue with her. Wang Ying dozed off for a long time before she finally fell asleep.
The next day, Wang Ying was resting, and Li Fengju came to bring her pickled cucumbers. Whenever Li Fengju made something for herself, she would always bring some to Wang Ying, and of course, to Wang Hui as well.
"Yunsheng is not at home?" Li Fengju asked.
"No, I'm in the provincial capital." Wang Ying said.
"Are you on a business trip?"
"I guess so. His book has been published and he is going to sign copies and attend a conference," said Wang Ying.
Li Fengju smiled happily: "Oh, Yunsheng is really promising!"
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Yeah, he's quite promising."
Li Fengju quickly added, "You're quite capable. You don't know how often I get caught and praised."
Wang Ying thought that if she hadn't been so successful, her mother wouldn't have been as kind to her as she was now. But Wang Ying quickly shook the thought off. Good or bad, it was just like that.
Li Fengju held Yueyue for a while before leaving. After returning home, she took the lunch box and went to Wang Hui's house again.
Wang Hui and Du Jianguo were quarreling again, just because of what Wang Hui had said before, which Du Jianguo took to heart. But seeing that Wang Hui had not made any move, he would tease her from time to time.
Li Fengju originally wanted to put down the pickled cucumbers and leave, but Wang Hui kept her.
"Mom, I want to buy a TV." Wang Hui said that she had to watch TV to know when the foreign TV series were broadcast and what models were available.
"Just buy the TV. Why don't you tell me anything? It's not like your family can't afford it." Li Fengju became alert. She still remembered that she had helped Wang Hui get out of a hole and paid her two hundred yuan!
"There are no tickets, and even if there were tickets, I couldn't get them," said Wang Hui.
"Then I can't grab it either." Li Fengju had already guessed what Wang Hui was going to do.
Sure enough, Wang Hui said, "Mom, aren't you and your eldest sister getting along pretty well now? Your eldest sister's mother-in-law used to work at the Wujiaohua store, so she must still have connections. Ask her to talk to them and ask them to reserve one for our family when their TV series arrive. I'll find a way to get the tickets myself, so I won't bother them."
Li Fengju was reluctant: "Your eldest sister's mother-in-law is retired, how much favor can she show?"
Wang Hui was unhappy: "Mom, you didn't even ask, so why don't you just tell me? I don't believe that you can offend Big Sister just by asking like this?"
Li Fengju was really a little scared. She basically didn't mention Wang Hui in front of Wang Ying.
Seeing that Li Fengju remained silent, Wang Hui grew even angrier. "Eldest Sister treated you like that before, and you're still clinging to her like that? Is that interesting? Am I not good to you?"
"Your elder sister is very nice to us, don't talk nonsense." Li Fengju glared at Wang Hui.
"Mom! Please help me. I'm not asking you for money. It's just a matter of words." Wang Hui saw that the hard approach didn't work, so she tried the soft approach.
Li Fengju thought about it and said, "I'll mention it when I go to my eldest sister's house, but I can't say whether she agrees or not."
"Mom! You're the best!" Wang Hui became happy again and hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly.
Li Fengju brushed off Wang Hui's hand. "You're already grown up! And you're still acting like a spoiled brat. Let me ask you, what do you think about your work? Your mother-in-law is almost reaching retirement age, right?"
"Well, we'll talk about it later." Wang Hui avoided answering the question. Working was too tiring, and she didn't want to go on. Once the foreign TV series came on, she would definitely help Du Jianguo get promoted. Then, after a few years, they could go south to start a business and make a fortune! There was no need for her to go to work and suffer that!
Seeing Wang Hui like this, Li Fengju was too lazy to persuade her anymore and left without saying a few words. The next day, Li Fengju went to Wang Ying's house again to deliver something to Wang Ying. She went straight to Chen Xiuqin and told her about the TV. She didn't ask Wujiaohua Store to reserve one for them, but just said that if there was news of a purchase, please let her know. Chen Xiuqin agreed immediately.
After talking about the TV, Li Fengju asked about Zhao Yunsheng again.
Zhao Yunsheng is still in the provincial capital and hasn't returned yet. Because there were too many people coming to the signing event on the first day, many people were left without a spot in the queue, so the organizer added another day. Unexpectedly, there were even more people on the second day, so they had no choice but to add a third day.
Zhao Yunsheng only then realized how popular he was...
On the last day of signing, Qiu Zhenhua came and brought two female classmates and one male classmate.
"Zhenhua, why are you here?" Zhao Yunsheng hadn't looked for Qiu Zhenhua yet, and was very happy to see him.
"What do you think? I just said that writer Zhao and I are good friends. Do you believe me now?" Qiu Zhenhua said to the classmates around him.
Zhao Yunsheng also gave Qiu Zhenhua face: "Hello, classmates, Zhenhua is my best friend."
"Well, after the signing is over, can you take a photo with us?" said one of the female classmates.
"Okay, but you have to wait." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Then we won't sign for now. You can sign for us later." The female classmate looked at Zhao Yunsheng with a blushing face.
"Okay." Zhao Yunsheng agreed with a smile.
Qiu Zhenhua left with several classmates.
After walking a distance, Qiu Zhenhua said to the blushing female classmate, "Don't have any feelings for him. He's already married and has a wife and a daughter."
"No!" The female classmate blushed even more, "I just admire his talent!"
