After returning to the base, Liang Su realized that Rong Xiang had come several times, but was unsuccessful.
Liang Su knew without thinking why she came here. It was to urge the manuscript of the second volume.
She packed her things and thought about going to the city to hand in her test paper.
Gu Xia thought that she hadn't bought anything for Liang Su for a long time, so she said that they should go to the department store together to have a look.
Gu Yunsi felt it was too much trouble, so he decided not to go and that it was fine to stay at home with Shen Limei.
It was a rare opportunity to show off, so Chu Jingcong of course had to follow, and Shen Congji followed as the driver.
Ever since the remains of the old man from the Qiao family were brought back to Cheng County and his soul was allowed to return to his homeland, Gu Xia's attitude towards him has softened a lot.
At least his efforts can be seen by Gu Xia.
After buying a lot of things at the department store, Gu Xia still felt it was not enough.
"The variety of things here isn't as great as in Coconut City. Next time we'll go to Port City to buy some."
Obviously, this small place cannot satisfy Gu Xia's shopping desire.
Liang Su had only been to Guangzhou and had never even been to Shenzhen, let alone Hong Kong.
I don’t know how prosperous the port city is.
"I heard that Shenzhen has introduced foreign investment and built several new housing estates. I'll buy you two apartments so you can stay when you visit the port city."
Shenzhen has just started to develop, and houses there are not expensive.
Chu Jingcong has been alone for so many years, and apart from raising two children, he doesn't have much to spend money on.
In addition to the Chu family's foundation, he has a lot of money in his hands.
Gu Xia snorted, "I don't dare use your money. If your mother finds out, she'll use it against me."
Chu Jingcong: "..."
No matter how much he does, it is not as good as a word from Jing Fan.
There is still a long way to go.
The family came out of the department store and met Director Guo.
Because they had stopped cooperating with Yang County Publishing House, Liang Su and he hadn't seen each other for a while.
Director Guo seemed to be waiting for her at the door on purpose, and walked in with a bright smile on his face.
"Liang Su, I thought I was seeing things just now, but it turns out it's really you."
Liang Su's expression was indifferent. "Is there something wrong, Director Guo?"
"Of course I have. Our previous cooperation ended a bit unpleasantly due to poor communication between our subordinates. How about I treat you today and apologize to you in person?"
"There's no need to apologize. The cooperation has ended anyway, and we won't have any intersection in the future." Liang Su refused coldly.
Director Guo still smiled apologetically, "That's true. After all, we've worked together for such a long time. If it weren't for our publishing house, you wouldn't have become famous in such a short time. You should thank us."
He spoke so righteously, as if he was not the one who had sought the pirated cooperation and forced her to share the profit.
"Director Guo, this is a mutually beneficial matter. If I can't make money for your publishing house, will you cooperate with me?"
Director Guo originally wanted to use his personal connections to pressure her, as young people are thin-skinned and easy to talk to.
As a result, Liang Su refused to listen.
"In that case, let me be frank with you. I heard you're partnering with a newly established publishing house. A publishing house without a foundation has no future. Why don't you come back? I'll give you a raise on your share of the profits. How about that?"
Liang Su smiled and shook his head, "Thank you Director Guo for your kindness, but it's not necessary."
Director Guo froze. "Did you hear me clearly? I said I'd give you a higher commission."
"Listen carefully, I said no."
He was so angry that he laughed. "Liang Su, our publishing house doesn't need you! You know the popular "Song Song Adventures" on the market recently, right? We have already poached the author. If you cooperate with us, I can introduce you to each other in the future."
Liang Su: “…No need.”
"Okay! Very good! Then don't regret it!"
Just as Director Guo finished his harsh words, he heard Rong Xiang's voice: "Liang Su!"
Rong Xiang was a little frustrated today because she went to the base a few days ago but failed.
"Have you finished drawing the second volume? Do you know that our publishing house's mailbox is about to explode?"
Liang Su: "...I've finished the painting. I came here today to deliver the manuscript. Don't worry, Sister Rong."
She handed over the drawing, on which were clearly written the words "The Adventures of Song Song 2".
Director Guo was dumbfounded. "Did you draw this story picture book?"
Liang Su blinked innocently. "Yes, Director Guo, you just said you'd already poached the author. Did you get scammed? I've only worked with Teacher Yang from the beginning to the end, and I haven't sold the copyright to any other publisher."
Director Guo's face turned pale and blue. What he just said was just his own words.
I just have this plan in mind, but I haven't put it into action yet.
I didn't expect that the bragging would be directed at the real person.
Rong Xiang asked curiously, "Isn't Yang County Publishing House still closed, Director Guo?"
Even with so many collaborating creators gone, it's still able to survive until now.
Director Guo's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he spat, "It's none of your business!"
Rong Xiang raised an eyebrow. "You want to steal my people, and you say it's none of my business? Liang Su, do you want to go to the publishing house and have a seat? Boss Yang happens to be here today."
Liang Su looked at Gu Xia and heard her say, "You go ahead. I'm going to the clothing market to have a look."
Liang Su nodded, "Okay, let's meet at the restaurant at noon."
Shen Congji naturally followed her and let Chu Jingcong drive the car away.
"Director Guo, we'll leave first." Liang Su smiled.
Rong Xiang took Liang Su's hand and walked forward. "I wasn't kidding when I said bankruptcy. Yang County Publishing House is almost unable to continue. Many old employees have been laid off. I recruited several capable people to come here."
Now their publishing house is developing and needs more manpower.
As soon as he arrived, Liang Su saw Liu Jun and Yang Jianxiao talking and looked over in surprise.
"When did Comrade Liu Jun come?" Rong Xiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled.
When Liu Jun first saw Liang Su, he felt embarrassed and forced a smile.
"I just came over to sit down."
Liang Su walked over with a smile, "If the old lady of the Chu family knew that you were in contact with your ex like this, I wonder if she would be happy?"
Liu Jun's face froze. "I came here today for something, not what you think."
"What's the matter? Tell me about it. Uncle Chu is here too. Aunt Liu can't be thinking about marrying into the Chu family while pestering her ex, right? That's not fair."
You need money, power, and affection, but nothing comes cheap in this world.
Liu Jun turned his face away in humiliation, "I didn't think that way, you misunderstood."
Yang Jianxiao smiled and said, "It's true that it's easy to cause misunderstandings. Comrade Liu Jun should not come here in the future. I'm not interested in talking about people and things in the past. I just want to live a quiet life."
These cruel words made Liu Jun very sad.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked out quickly.
