Some people may think that Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong’s behavior is superfluous and self-admiring.
Why bring up something that's already happened?
Can going door to door to find the students who bullied Wen Ying, forcing their parents to discipline them, and forcing them to apologize to Wen Ying really make up for the harm that happened in the past?
They were absent when Wen Ying needed her parents' protection, and now that Wen Ying no longer needs it, they insist on doing this. This is probably just Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong venting their guilt and making up for it...
Wen Ying didn’t know what others would think, but she herself didn’t think so.
Better late than never, better done than never.
Wen Ying never told her parents about being bullied at school. This was due to Wen Ying's own personality and the family atmosphere at the time.
After a while, when Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong learned about this, the couple felt angry and guilty.
They should do something for Wen Ying.
They had to do something.
It is for Wen Ying and also for themselves.
As Teacher Kang said, being a parent is a process of continuous learning and improvement. Don't make the same mistakes in the past, and avoid them in the future. Different personalities have different ways of handling the same situation. Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong's personalities made them think of this way to express their apology. Wen Ying even felt that this was the highest form of apology.
Parents like Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong are just slow-witted. What is even more terrifying is another type of parents. When their children are bullied outside and finally muster up the courage to go home and tell their parents, not only do their parents not stand up for their children, but they also ask their children to reflect on themselves: There are so many people in school, why do they bully you instead of others? Is there something wrong with you?
This kind of parents will not reflect on themselves, but are very good at forcing their children to reflect on themselves in order to cover up their own cowardice.
——They don’t even have the courage to stand up for their children!
Only by facing the trauma of the past can one reconcile with the world. Wen Ying wiped her eyes with her hands. Fang Hui was still chattering and accusing her in the chat pop-up window, but Wen Ying didn't get angry but laughed instead.
"After all this talk, you still want to apologize. I don't sympathize with you at all. People always have to pay for their mistakes. I hope you can truly recognize your mistakes."
After sending this message, Wen Ying logged off QQ.
Of course Fang Hui would not repent just because of such a light sermon, but Wen Ying didn't care whether this person was truly repentant or not!
As long as Wen Ying no longer replies to Fang Hui's messages, it will be enough to make her angry.
That night, Wen Ying was no longer uneasy.
Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had explanations for their recent politeness, and Wen Ying decided to give them more time to digest the matter.
Wen Ying felt that the storm of "investing in Tianjiao" had passed, but the impact of her letter went beyond that, and her relationship with her parents would undergo new changes.
Early on Saturday morning, the three members of Wen Ying's family all had their own things to do. Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong both had to go to the company to work overtime - this time it was real overtime, and the two had to make up for the missed work.
Wen Ying also wanted to go out, but not to Xie Qian's house, but to Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
Editor-in-Chief Bao Lixin, who travels frequently, finally had the royalties for "Teenage Idol" and "Star River With You" calculated after the influence of the "Writers Rich List" spread.
Not only that, Editor-in-Chief Bao also took the initiative to ask Wen Ying to discuss the publication of the new book "Xun Yong".
In the past, Wen Ying would do these things first and then tell her parents. This time, Wen Ying also wanted to make some changes.
While the family was having breakfast, Wen Ying took the initiative to bring up the matter.
The family of three hadn't communicated like this for a whole week, and Chen Ru was a little nervous.
After carefully organizing her words, Chen Ru tried to appear calm:
"Although Director Yuan has been entrusted with the publishing of your novel, you still need to show up at certain events. Editor-in-Chief Bao may not truly realize his mistake. He's worried that you'll simply abandon your partnership with Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House after all this delay. And with the impact of the 'Rich Writers List,' he's worried. With your current fame, the media will undoubtedly be paying attention to your new book. If you suddenly stop collaborating with Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House, the media will try every possible means to uncover the reason, which would be very detrimental to Editor-in-Chief Bao, so he's anxious. I don't think Editor-in-Chief Bao is someone I can work with long-term. What are your thoughts?"
Chen Ru had no contact with the new editor-in-chief Bao Lixin, but Wen Ying had.
In the past, Chen Ru would have thought Wen Ying was a child who couldn't judge people.
After reading Wen Ying's letter and listening to Teacher Kang's words, Chen Ru also tried hard to believe Wen Ying's own judgment.
If you think about it carefully, Wen Ying never relied on her parents' help in writing novels and becoming a writer. From creation to publishing, how to negotiate royalties, and how to protect her own reputation, Wen Ying had her own ideas.
Of course, Chen Ru couldn't let go completely and give Wen Ying complete "freedom", but she did try to reflect and introspect. After giving her suggestions, she did not forget to ask Wen Ying what she thought, which was already a great progress.
Wen Ying stopped being cautious and chose to speak the truth: "I don't like people who break their promises."
Having worked as a lawyer for so long in her previous life, Wen Ying herself has a strong sense of contract.
The terms are written in black and white in the contract, why not enforce them?
Take the case of Bao Lixin using Wen Ying to establish his authority. If he has different opinions on the new book "Xun Yong", then he can discuss the new book with Wen Ying, including whether to revise it or postpone the publication date. As long as Bao Lixin has sufficient reasons, Wen Ying will respect his opinions even if she disagrees.
