"It's difficult. The literary industry doesn't make as much money as other industries. My magazine is newly established and can't compare to those old and big companies. With the same salary, they will definitely go for a higher position."
"Can't the salary be increased a bit?" Zeng Fang asked curiously.
Wen Qingsheng sighed, "I wanted to do that, but the problem is that the magazine is barely breaking even right now, and we really can't afford to pay for more staff. That's why I wanted to ask Brother Chuan to come to my magazine and help me expand my business and generate some extra income."
"You might as well go to Momo instead of Brother Ling. Momo is the best at doing business."
Yes, why didn’t he think of it!
At the beginning, Xu Lixue's detective agency was on the verge of collapse and was about to close down. It was only revived thanks to Yun Mo's investment. Even if Yun Mo could not help him with advice, she could always invest money.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingsheng immediately looked at Xiang Yunmo with shining eyes.
"Yun Mo, no, Shao Mo, Miss Shao, are you interested in investing in a magazine?"
Yun Mo took a sip of coffee slowly and said, "I'm not very interested."
"No, Shao Mo, listen to me. The target audience of the Contemporary Youth Weekly I run is college students like you. Just think about it. If you become its investor, when you introduce yourself at the beginning of the school term, you can introduce it to your teachers and classmates. Oh my, that would be a big hit."
"Thank you for the invitation, I don't need this kind of limelight."
Wen Qingsheng did not give up. "When my magazine becomes famous in colleges and universities across the country, countless people will admire and look up to you wherever you go. It will be like a torrent of water that will never stop flowing."
Yun Mo was so annoyed by Wen Qingsheng that she agreed to take some time to look at Wen Qingsheng's development plan for the sake of their friendship.
Once the deal was settled, Wen Qingsheng no longer had the appetite to continue drinking coffee, so he hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the magazine to write a project plan.
After Wen Qingsheng left, Zheng Hua and Lu Dewang didn't want to stay any longer, so they tactfully said goodbye and left after a while.
"Momo, have I caused you trouble again?"
As soon as Wen Qingsheng and the other two left, Zeng Fang couldn't help but ask Yun Mo with a guilty conscience.
Before Yun Mo responded, Yao Suhua started to scold her daughter, "You should change your bad habit of speaking your mind. It's not that easy to run a magazine. Wen Qingsheng has all the connections and backgrounds, but he has been working hard for a year and hasn't made any splash. Momo is new here and is not familiar with the place, and you are just causing trouble for her!"
Zeng Fang pouted, "Okay, I was wrong. I will try not to open my mouth when I go out next time."
Yun Mo couldn't help laughing, "I can't not open my mouth. How can I eat without opening my mouth?"
"Then I'll just eat and not talk."
Yao Suhua glared at her daughter. "Still eating? It's been less than two months since the college entrance examination and you've gained nearly ten pounds. Take it easy!"
When it comes to weight, Zeng Fang looks as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost.
"Momo, what should I do? I gained back the 5 pounds I lost before, and I gained 3 pounds. Woohoo...Momo, please teach me how to stay in shape like you. Why do I feel like you haven't gained any weight in the past two months?"
Yun Mo pinched her cheeks. "I've grown a little too, but not as much as you, so it's not obvious. There's no shortcut to losing weight. Just control your diet and move your legs. When we move into the courtyard, I'll supervise you every day and make sure you lose weight."
"Then I'll make good use of the next few days and eat all the Beijing delicacies I want to eat, so that I won't be controlled by you and can't eat them. Well, I have a dinner party tonight, let's go eat roast duck tomorrow! Momo, let's go together."
“…”
When it was not so hot in the afternoon, Yao Suhua took her daughter to visit a friend, while Yun Mo and Ling Chuan returned to the Shao family compound.
After returning to Mo Garden, before she could even catch her breath, a servant came over and told her that Madam Shao invited her to the Lan Ju for some sweet soup.
After simply washing her face and changing into comfortable home clothes, Yun Mo went to Lanju with an umbrella.
As soon as I entered the main hall of Lan Ju, I found that there were other people there besides Mrs. Shao.
She knew two of them, Shao Yixuan and Shao Jia. In addition to these two, there was another exquisitely dressed woman. Judging from her age, she should be Mrs. Shao San from the West Courtyard, and the biological mother of Shao Yixuan and Shao Jia.
Mrs. Shao from the East Courtyard is 40 years old this year and should not be that young.
"Momo, you're back, come here quickly."
Mrs. Shao waved at her with a smile on her face, and Mrs. Hua took the umbrella from her immediately.
"grandmother."
"This is your third aunt, and your third brother and fourth sister. You should have met them yesterday."
"I have met my third brother and fourth sister." Yun Mo responded with a smile, then bowed to Mrs. Shao San and said, "Third Aunt."
Yun Mo's every move was graceful and elegant, and she knew when to advance and retreat. Even Mrs. Shao San, who came over to find fault, could not find any fault with her.
Mrs. Shao was very satisfied with her granddaughter's performance and introduced her to Mrs. Shao San: "This is Momo, A-Lin's eldest daughter."
Hearing Mrs. Shao's words, Mrs. Shao San subconsciously took off the bracelet on her wrist.
"So you are my eldest brother's daughter. I didn't bring anything for our first meeting. You can take this bracelet and play with it."
"Thank you, Auntie San."
Yun Mo took the bracelet and put it directly on her wrist.
Mrs. Shao San was slightly shorter than Yun Mo and was petite, so the bracelet's opening was just the right size for Yun Mo's wrist.
The bracelet is also the kind that can be worn daily, with ice-blue floating flowers, and it is very watery. The market price is around three to four thousand.
When Yun Mo put the bracelet on her wrist, Mrs. Shao San finally realized that she had come to this shrewish girl to seek justice for her son, not to give her a gift! Moreover, although this bracelet was not the most valuable in the jewelry box, it was her favorite one. She wore it every day, but now it fell into the hands of the person who beat her son.
But the things had already been given away, and she couldn't bring herself to ask for them back.
Mrs. Shao was extremely depressed, but Yun Mo sweetly praised the bracelet in front of her, saying how pretty it was and how it matched her skirt. Mrs. Shao was so angry that she almost burst into tears and asked for the bracelet back.
Mrs. Shao saw her granddaughter's mischief and smiled dotingly, "Okay, you just came back from outside. I'm afraid your throat must be dry after talking so much. Drink some Tremella and Snow Pear Soup to moisten your throat."
Yun Mo decided to stop while she was ahead, found a place to sit down, and picked up the bowl of sweet soup to drink.
"Is it sweet enough? If not, add some honey."
"That's enough. It's just right. If it's any sweeter, it will make your throat sick."
As the grandparents and grandchildren were talking, Mrs. Shao San, who was sitting opposite them, also looked at Yun Mo with a keen eye.
