Chapter 184: Moving ahead of schedule, trivial matters...
Chapter 184
After breakfast, Lin Mujin set off again, this time to go to Boyi Publishing House.
The Four Noble Truths has been published for many days, and it is inappropriate for her to ignore it.
So, upon entering Editor Chu's office, she explained, "I went to Beijing inland for something and just got back yesterday."
So there is a reason why he has not shown up.
As expected, Editor Chu's expression improved a lot. "I thought Miss Lin would look down on the trivialities of publishing a book."
Lin Mujin quickly smiled and said, "How could that be? There really is a reason. Editor Chu, how is the publishing going?"
Editor Chu was also delighted; after all, he was getting a bonus. "It's very good. The feedback from bookstores and stalls has been very positive. The leadership has already decided to recommend it to several Southeast Asian countries. It will take another two weeks for publication in inland areas."
Lin Mujin's smile was harder to suppress than Akshay's. "Thank you, Editor Chu. You must have put a lot of effort into it."
Editor Chu waved his hand. "It's all my responsibility. The publisher will settle your bill at the end of the month. Don't disappear again."
Lin Mujin said, "I went to the post office yesterday to apply for a phone installation. You can contact me anytime once it's installed."
Then he asked, "If I'm not here, can my brother come and get the money? I haven't finished my business inland yet, so I might have to go there again soon."
Editor Chu said, "Your brother doesn't need to come. Just give your passbook number to the finance department, and they'll transfer the money directly to your passbook."
Lin Mujin thanked him again. "Okay, I'll get it done right away. Please, Editor Chu."
Editor Chu asked tentatively, "Ms. Lin, have you got any inspiration for your next novel?"
Lin Mujin didn't expect that the editor of the publishing house would urge her to update her work. Isn't this the job of a newspaper editor?
However, considering that she had disappeared recently, Editor Wu and Editor-in-Chief Ma of Chengbao could not see her at all, there was no way they could urge her to update.
"some."
She wants to open a restaurant, but she can't give up her main business of writing novels. She has to work hard with both hands.
"The next one is a new martial arts novel, which will be very different from traditional martial arts novels. I'm still working on the outline, and I really hope to work with Editor Chu again."
She still wanted to publish it.
But just throwing out the bait will do, there is no need to go into details. Lin Mujin thanked again and said goodbye.

"Brother, are we moving now?" Lin Mujin saw her cousin Lin packing his suitcases as soon as she got home.
Cousin Lin said, "There's no smell on the fourth floor. I'm free now, so let's move early. My tricycle happens to be at home."
Lin Mujin thought about it and said, "Then I'll move too."
She also started packing her things into her backpack and suitcase.
"Brother, have you signed up? Is it the driving school near our house?"
Lin Mujin just remembered that her brother had gone to the driving school to register in the morning, so she asked about the follow-up.
Cousin Lin replied, "I signed up right there. It's 2,500 yuan. They give me a book to read on my own. I can learn to drive anytime. Guaranteed to learn."
Lin Mujin thought the price was not cheap. "Don't you include the license?"
Cousin Lin shook his head. "No, that means it's not covered. I can learn it on my own. They said it takes a year anyway."
Lin Mujin said, "Yes, it is more important to learn the technology."
She started packing her books again, which were a bit too many.
"Brother, what did you say to Sister Xiuying yesterday? There is still a bit of smell on the second and third floors. I think she should not be anxious and it is better to wait a few more days. Anyway, our house lease has not expired." Lin Mujin not only did not recommend Li Xiuying to move in a hurry, but also Mrs. Luo and the others did the same.
Cousin Lin had probably grown thick-skinned after being teased so much, "That's what I said too. She said she would move before the end of the month."
Lin Mujin replied, "A wise choice."
The brother and sister went downstairs to move their things and prepare to deliver the goods first.
Lin Mujin didn't forget to lock the door.
“Are you moving?” Tailor Feng asked.
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "You guessed it right. Let's talk next time."
Without caring whether he believed it or not, Lin Mujin jumped onto the tricycle and signaled her cousin Lin to leave.
Soon we arrived at the entire rental building.
As soon as I arrived nearby, I saw several workers working on the first floor.
"Brother, please move the luggage upstairs. I want to chat with Brother Chen." Lin Mujin was not being lazy, he really had something important to do.
Cousin Lin had no objection and started climbing the stairs with a suitcase in one hand.
"Brother Chen, you are decorating a house. How much do these decoration teams charge now?" Lin Mujin planned to inquire first.
She had been in contact with a decoration team before, when she was decorating Huimei.
Lawyer Li found it, but that time they were responsible for both driving and providing materials, so they were definitely different from an ordinary decoration team.
The chubby landlord didn't even ask why we were moving out now, since we'd agreed to move tomorrow. He replied with a smile, "I bought the materials myself and hired a renovation team I know. They charge 80 bucks per person per day. It's not always that pricey. The guy who did the roof waterproofing was 200 bucks a day. Different types of work have different prices."
Lin Mujin wrote it down; it was quite complicated.
The fat landlord continued, "Actually, if you don't want to bother with the hassle, you can just do it yourself. That way, you'll save yourself the trouble, but you might also be worried about cutting corners."
Lin Mujin nodded, understanding the logic. "So where can I find a skilled renovation team?"
The fat landlord gave two addresses and said, "I'm only familiar with the area around Sham Shui Po. You can also ask around in other places. Generally, renovation workers in their thirties or forties who have been working for many years can judge their skills. After all, our requirements are not high."
Lin Mujin wanted to say that she had a high request, "I've noted it down. Thank you, Brother Chen."
Lin Mujin and her cousin Lin moved four times in total, and almost all the things in the house except the kitchen were moved.
"Brother, we can live in the new house tonight." Lin Mujin was very happy looking at her bedroom. She finally had her own private space.
Cousin Lin asked, "If we don't move the kitchen, what will we use to cook?"
Lin Mujin said, "Brother, there will be more and more employees in the future. It's impossible for Mrs. Luo to cook for them all. We might as well take this opportunity to separate them. As for the employees... maybe we can provide them with food supplements or elect a team leader per floor to manage some daily issues. We were overly involved before, almost like a 'nanny'. We can't do that anymore."
Fortunately, being a "nanny" is still valuable. Both Mrs. Luo and her daughter and the Zhou sisters are very capable, diligent and capable. She is still very satisfied.
Cousin Lin thought about it and said, "I'll do as you say."
Lin Mujin said, "Then let's go to the underground mall to buy kitchenware, and then go to Kowloon Walled City to recruit employees in the afternoon."
She also has to go to Boyi Publishing House, and if she has enough time, she will ask a few driving schools. However, she doesn't plan to ask near her home. She can drive, so she just wants to ask if there is any way to get a license directly or quickly.
When you think about it, there are quite a lot of things.
