Chapter 191 An Unprecedented Idea
It wasn't just inappropriate; she felt that Chu Yongqiang probably had some mental issues.
Shen Xuewei inwardly complained, but outwardly pretended to be trying hard to remember.
"Let me think about it..."
She frowned in distress, as if trying hard to remember, but to no avail.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Yongqiang, I have a terrible sense of direction... Although I stayed at my aunt's for a while, she doesn't usually let me go out, so I really don't remember much..."
Chu Yongqiang's initially expectant gaze turned to disappointment, and he managed to say, "It's nothing."
Chu De'an looked up at Chu Yongqiang and said hesitantly, "Uncle Yongqiang, why don't you ask Auntie yourself? I think it's not right for you to secretly ask her where she lives."
Shen Xuewei inwardly gave Chu De'an a thumbs up and made the same expression, hesitatingly saying:
"It seems like things aren't going well..."
Stared at like that by the siblings, Chu Yongqiang gave an awkward smile.
"I was just asking, if you don't know, that's fine. When you get back, please don't tell the adults about this, okay?"
Shen Xuewei and Chen Fangli agreed verbally, but after leaving the convenience store and returning to the Chu family, they secretly went to Chen Fangli to complain.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fangli frowned.
“How could he ask you two children about this in private? This man has no sense of propriety.”
Shen Xuewei agreed, "That's right, Second Aunt. I don't think Uncle Yongqiang is doing the right thing, and Auntie doesn't like him either. If he asks you about Auntie again in the future, please don't tell him."
Chen Fangli nodded slowly and said, "I understand. I'll talk to your grandmother about it privately later and ask her to let Yongqiang come to our house less often."
She then instructed the two of them: "Don't tell anyone about what your Uncle Yongqiang talked to you about today, lest he hold a grudge against you later."
Shen Xuewei and the other girl stood obediently in a row, saying, "We know, we definitely won't tell anyone."
Urging voices came from outside, and Shen Xuewei hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Fangli and the others, got into Chen Fangyang's car, and returned to Xiaoli Village.
After Chen Fangyang took the group home, he was worried that the elderly couple would ask him to go with them to sell vegetables and chickens again on the weekend.
As soon as the group got out of the car, he said something to them and drove off without stopping.
Although she had promised Chen Fangli not to tell anyone that Chu Yongqiang had privately asked her for Chen Fanglan's address.
However, as the person involved, Chen Fanglan was someone Shen Xuewei was determined to let know about this.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Xuewei took out her phone and called Chen Fanglan again.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Fanglan, unusually, swore and cursed Chu Yongqiang's ancestors for eighteen generations, cursing for several minutes before stopping.
Shen Xuewei covered the phone with both hands and held it away until Chen Fanglan's voice stopped, then put it back to her ear.
"Auntie, please be more careful in the future... Or, you should move to a safer place to live."
She didn't advise Chen Fanglan to change jobs because she knew that Chen Fanglan would never give up this job.
A better solution would be to move to a safer address.
The place where Chen Fanglan is currently living is still a bit messy.
Chen Fanglan sighed, "I know. I'll find some time to look at other houses another day."
We need to rent a place in a better and safer location, and the monthly rent will probably be much higher than it is now.
However, for safety reasons, this money cannot be saved.
The two talked on the phone for about ten minutes before hanging up.
However, she was still a little worried, so she would call Chen Fanglan twice a week to make sure she was alright.
Fortunately, Chu Yongqiang couldn't find out where Chen Fanglan lived from her, and Chen Fanglan moved to another place in time, which relieved Shen Xuewei slightly.
When December arrived, Shen Xuewei's second CEO romance novel finally began serialization.
The magazine did not disappoint her and Feng Xuemei. Two weeks after its release, preliminary statistics showed that it had sold at least 400,000 copies, a result that was no worse than the previous issue.
While Shen Xuewei was counting down the days until her royalties were paid, she was also working hard to finish her third CEO romance novel.
Feng Xuemei kept her word. When Shen Xuewei's previous novel, "The President Chases His Wife, the Sweet and Savage Secretary Can't Escape," was serialized to its final installment, she took the initiative to contact the publisher she had previously collaborated with.
The sales of "Love Locked" over the past few months have been remarkable. Everyone has seen the contribution of Shen Xuewei's novel to the sales of "Love Locked," and several publishers have expressed interest in her book.
Before long, Feng Xuemei selected one of the publishing houses and negotiated terms for Shen Xuewei.
The royalty is 9%, and Locklove will take 10% of the royalty as commission for its agents.
The terms were quite favorable, so the two parties quickly signed the contract after reaching an agreement.
Despite her deep desire to recruit Yun Li, Feng Xuemei ultimately declined her invitation after careful consideration.
Yun Li still hadn't given up on the idea of bringing Shen Xuewei back. She would occasionally chat with Shen Xuewei on QQ and then ask her if she had any plans to submit her new book to her.
Each of Shen Xuewei's answers left her somewhat disappointed.
Although somewhat disappointed, she still liked Shen Xuewei very much, and it did not affect their friendship.
After declining Feng Xuemei's invitation, Yun Li was also somewhat confused.
However, she had no one to confide in about her confusion.
She used to talk to Feng Xuemei, but she had just declined Feng Xuemei's invitation when she went to Feng Xuemei to confide in her about her confusion...
She could already picture Feng Xuemei mocking her.
Looking at the chat interface with Shen Xuewei on the computer, she suddenly had an idea and wanted to talk to her.
The other person is young and bold; perhaps they can offer some good advice.
Yunli: Weiwei, do you have time now?
Shen Xuewei had just dried her feet and lay down on the bed when she picked up her phone and saw that someone had sent her a QQ message. She found that it was from Yun Li and replied.
Become a rich woman soon: Yes, I have time now and can chat with you for ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, the dormitory supervisor returned to check the rooms, and it was time for her to go to sleep.
Time was precious, so Yun Li quickly typed the message.
Yunli: It's like this, I have a friend who's also an editor like me... He originally had the opportunity to switch jobs, but for some reason, he ultimately didn't go. But...
She typed out a long message in a flash, and Shen Xuewei patiently read it all, understanding the message.
Yes, I have a friend who uses this excuse very familiarly...
After thinking for a moment, she typed out a few words.
Become a rich woman soon: I'm not very familiar with your friend's situation. However, based on what you said earlier, there are indeed no opportunities for promotion at the current company, so changing jobs in time would be a good choice.
Become a rich woman as soon as possible: If you regret your decision after already refusing, you can ask again or find other magazines.
Become a rich woman soon: Of course, I don't think it necessarily has to be limited to print magazines or anything like that. There are already quite a few online novel platforms, and they also need experienced and qualified editors like you.
Becoming a rich woman as soon as possible: The above is my personal opinion; you can take it as a reference, but don't take it too seriously. Because the specific situation depends on your individual needs.
Yunli: ...I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about a friend of mine.
Shen Xuewei readily agreed and returned to the past.
Become a rich woman soon: Sorry, I forgot to mention it. It's your friend, not you.
Yun Li fell silent after seeing the three words she sent that specifically emphasized "not yours".
It seems there's no need to hide it... The kid across from me can see it clearly.
Looking at Shen Xuewei's three suggestions on the screen, she focused on the third point, editing novel websites, and fell into thought.
At this time, most editors of physical magazines were taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the work of editing novel websites, while some looked down on it or began to try it out.
Yun Li was curious about the operational logic of novel websites and had privately contacted several website editors to exchange ideas.
However, I had never considered becoming a website editor before.
She sent another message to Shen Xuewei.
Yunli: Are you optimistic about the future of online novel platforms? Do you have any plans to submit your work to online novel platforms in the future?
Becoming a rich woman as soon as possible: Relatively speaking, that's a pretty good prospect. As for submitting articles, I might consider that if the payment is good.
Sometimes, it's as if a fire has ignited a person, and a thought they've never had before suddenly pops into their mind.
Yunli turned off the computer, but her eyes shone with an eerie light.
Seeing that she hadn't sent any more messages, Shen Xuewei turned off her phone, curled up in the blankets, and went to sleep peacefully.
