The boss heard the conversation and immediately took out a book and a hundred yuan. "I want it in half a month. The handwriting must be neat and beautiful. This is the deposit."
Gu Rongyu winked at the boss, who immediately understood, "My lady is really eloquent. I am humbled by your skill. I will have a steady stream of work from now on."
On the way back, Gu Rongyu gave her all the small change Chang Xixi had given her, along with the money she had earned from copying books. "Go back and renovate our house, and move back in after a while. I can't let you live in your parents' house forever."

The driver asked the dock foreman for a sip of water and waited for Chang Da's reply.
