Wen Ying insisted on not taking it, so Deng Yaomei had no choice but to take the passbook back, thinking that it would be better to wait two months before giving the money to Wen Ying.
Fortunately, Chen Li and Deng Shangwei did not come to give Wen Ying money. After sending Deng Yaomei away, Wen Ying took out a dozen magazines and began to study.
That night, Wen Ying read magazines until midnight. The next day, instead of going to cram school, she tried to imitate the style of the magazines at home.
The Deng family has a computer, which is not usually used by anyone at home. Deng Shangwei occasionally plays cards and minesweeper games... Wen Ying requisitioned this computer.

Wen Ying types very fast, her fingers clacking on the keyboard. What slows her down is not her hand speed, but her ideas.

After writing for a day, Wen Ying had typed out more than ten thousand words.
She wrote two short stories, one for submission to "Fireworks" and the other for submission to "Aige". It took her more than an hour to revise them. After checking them several times to make sure there were no mistakes, Wen Ying sent both stories out.

Contributing to magazines is a way to make money.
But that’s not enough.
Wen Ying is a newbie, so the magazine cannot pay her a high price. It is already very good if she can get a manuscript fee of 100 yuan per thousand words. The two short stories she wrote today can only bring her an income of about 1,000 yuan if all of them are published.
Even if she submitted her manuscripts to all the youth magazines on the market and all her submissions were accepted, there was no guarantee that they would be published in the near future. She would only receive a portion of the royalties before school started in September.
Far water cannot quench immediate thirst, Wen Ying has to think of other ways.
She was just thinking about it when Qin Jiao's text message came.
"Wen Ying, I've finished my exams today. When are you free?"
