Chapter 107 Visitors
Ye Qian returned to the office, put down her bowl, and then went to the visitor room.
Ye Qian was a little confused as she walked along, wondering who was looking for her.
It was not until they arrived at the visitor room that Ye Qian pushed open the door and walked in. She found a man and a woman sitting inside, but she did not know them.
I first asked the security guard who was looking for me, and the security guard told me that it was these two people, and then he walked out.
The two people sitting here didn't expect that the person they were looking for was such a young girl.
When the two saw Ye Qian, they didn't know how to start the conversation. They asked cautiously, "Are you really Ye Qian? Ye Qian from the Grain Bureau?"
Ye Qian asked cautiously, "I'm Ye Qian, who are you and what do you want from me?"
The two men also noticed Ye Qian's gaze, so they took out their work IDs and introduced themselves: "My name is Yao Xiaona, and the person next to me is Zhang Weiguo. We are from XX Newspaper, and we are the editors responsible for your novel. We came here specifically to see you."
When Ye Qian heard that the person was a reporter from the newspaper, she took out her work ID as well, and the three of them looked at it in turn.
Ye Qian muttered to herself, could it be that there's something wrong with the novel? Wasn't it already finished at the beginning of the month? Now it's the end of the month, and if there's a problem, it's useless to even bother with me.
At this time, Yao Xiaona said, "Comrade Ye Qian, it is very presumptuous to disturb you this time, but we do have something to ask you."
Ye Qian asked, "Comrade, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Yao Xiaona heard Ye Qian's words and spoke directly: "Didn't you serialize your novel in our newspaper before? The sales of the newspaper were very good during that time. After the novel was completed, many readers wrote to me. I felt a little lonely when I couldn't see your novel every week. I hope you can continue to write. Have you considered starting another novel?"
When Ye Qian heard the editor's words, she already had plans to start another novel. She thought for a while and said, "Okay."
The two editors smiled at each other, and Yao Xiaona continued to ask, "When can you give us the first draft at the earliest?"
Ye Qian calculated the time and realized there were only two days left this week. She could just write an outline and start writing next week. She replied to the editor, "The earliest I can send it is next weekend. You won't receive it until the week after next."
In fact, Yao Xiaona didn't expect Ye Qian to give her the manuscript so quickly. It was enough for her to receive it. There was no need to be secretive about next week or the week after next.
After the time was set, Yao Xiaona also told Ye Qian that the manuscript fee would increase. Previously, it was 200 per 10,000 words, but this time it was 210 per 10,000 words.
Although it is only 10 yuan, 10 yuan can do a lot in this era. Some farmers can't earn 10 yuan even after working hard all year round. Ye Qian is very satisfied with the salary increase.
Since this matter had already come to an end, the two of them could not stay for long and proposed to leave. Ye Qian sent them out and returned to the union.
Li Manyu asked where she had been, and Ye Qian did not hide it: "Just now, the editor of XX newspaper came to see me and asked me to start a new book."
Everyone in the office was delighted when they heard this. The novels written by Ye Qian were indeed very good, and everyone would read them every week. Since the novel was completed at the beginning of the month, it seemed like something was missing, so everyone was naturally happy that she could write another one.
Ye Qian spent the entire afternoon thinking about the novel she was going to write, and decided to name it "The Lone Wolf Chronicles". It was a story about a soldier who quickly grew up to be a general, and the group led by this general were called Lone Wolves. They repeatedly broke through the enemy's lines of defense and attacked the enemy's camp until the very last moment. It was a story full of blood and tears.
The framework was basically organized in one afternoon, and the next step was to write the outline.
Just as Ye Qian was about to take out the paper and pen, Li Manyu called out to her, "It's time to get off work. What are you daydreaming about?"
"Ah." Ye Qian finally came to her senses and realized that it had come to this point.
I immediately packed up my things and went home.
Gu Jinyan, on the other hand, was not so relaxed. After knowing what happened in the morning, he felt uneasy. How about taking the initiative? What if she thought he was too old? If he didn't take the initiative, Ye Qian would be deceived by someone else. Did this girl know that boy? Why was she smiling so happily at him?
Gu Jinyan spent the entire day dwelling on what happened that morning, until the afternoon when his secretary knocked on Gu Jinyan's office door and said, "Deputy Director Gu is off work."
"Yeah." Gu Jinyan came back to his senses at this time. It turned out that a whole day had passed like this.
Ye Qian returned home and had just taken out the food she was going to eat from the space when Gu Jinyan came back.
Gu Jinyan's face didn't look very good. If it were usual, Ye Qian would definitely notice it, but today Ye Qian was a little absent-minded so she didn't notice it.
Ye Qian was cutting vegetables while thinking about the contents of the outline, and accidentally cut her hand.
With a cry of "Ouch", Ye Qian quickly put down the knife in her hand. Gu Jinyan also ran in after hearing the sound. Seeing Ye Qian's hand, he quickly washed it with water. The wound was not big, but it was definitely impossible to continue cooking.
Ye Qian had never cut her hands while cooking before. She must be worried today. What could be on her mind? Needless to say, it must have happened this morning. She actually cut herself for a man. She is so useless.
The useless Ye Qian:...
Ye Qian, who had been particularly slow to react today, also realized that Gu Jinyan was in a bad mood today. Did he know what had happened? I hadn't heard of any major incident at the Grain Bureau.
Gu Jinyan picked up the knife, cut the food prepared by Ye Qian, and planned to cook it himself.
Seeing that Gu Jinyan was about to cook, Ye Qian immediately ran over to burn firewood, but was stopped by Gu Jinyan and punished: "Why are you burning firewood when your hand is injured?" Then she was kicked out of the kitchen.
What Ye Qian was worried about was that Gu Jinyan would burn down her house. This house was not cheap. All the money she had earned from selling supplies on the black market was hard earned. It would be a shame to burn it down.
Gu Jinyan:...
While Gu Jinyan was cooking, Ye Qian kept staring at the door, afraid that something might happen so she could stop it. After all the food was served, Ye Qian finally realized, "You can cook."
Gu Jinyan still had a cold expression: "I didn't say I can't."
Ye Qian took a bite and it was not bad. It was not very delicious, but it was not bad either. At least it was not raw or undercooked.
Ye Qian saw that Gu Jinyan was unhappy, so she tried her best to pick up food for him, hoping that he would eat more and be happier.
Gu Jinyan looked up at the food in the bowl and said, "It's not tasty anymore."
Ye Qian didn't react: "Ah, oh, no."
Gu Jinyan asked: "Then why don't you eat it? You keep picking it up for me."
Ye Qian finally reacted: "No, it's not bad. I just saw that you were unhappy, so I wanted you to eat more."
