The following day, Xu Tingchuan talked to Ni Sitian about the company's cruise ship annual meeting while having breakfast.
As expected, Ni Sitian was indeed very interested in holding the annual meeting on a cruise ship, repeatedly asking, "Can I go? Can I really go?"
Xu Tingchuan put a steamed dumpling into her mouth and said with a faint smile, "Of course you can go, you have to go. You'll even have to go on stage and read a speech to thank the employees for their hard work."
Ni Sitian almost choked on her dumpling. She was extremely shy and timid, and waved her hands repeatedly. After swallowing the dumpling, she hurriedly said, "No, no, I can't do this."
Xu Tingchuan was just teasing her. Seeing how flustered she was, he couldn't help but continue teasing her, "Mrs. Xu, didn't you say you wanted to be a wife who stands shoulder to shoulder with me, instead of a dependent who is sheltered by me?"
Ni Sitian stared blankly, her mouth slightly agape. These were indeed words she had said.
But she didn't expect Xu Tingchuan to bring this up so quickly, and she couldn't refute it at all.
"Mrs. Xu, I look forward to your wonderful performance." Xu Tingchuan was in a good mood when he saw that she was speechless from being amused.
Ni Sitian's face fell, her previous enthusiasm gone, and she muttered, "Can I not go?"
"Do you want me to dance with other women?" Xu Tingchuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian frowned slightly. "We still have to dance?"
"There's a vote for Party Queen and King, and the two of them have to dance an opening dance." Xu Tingchuan picked up his glass, took a sip of water, and said unhurriedly, "Who else do you think could be King?"
Ni Sitian blinked, realizing that he meant he was sure to be elected king, and if she didn't go, he might have to dance with other women.
But even if she goes, what then? Will she be voted queen?
Xu Tingchuan looked at her pouting lips and knew she lacked confidence. He tapped her on the head and said with a smile, "Silly girl, the boss's wife is there, do you think they wouldn't have some sense?"
Ni Sitian rubbed her forehead, glared at him, and said reproachfully, "If I become stupid, it'll all be because you're so stupid! If our future children inherit bad intelligence, it'll all be your fault!"
"Oh, I just called you stupid, but now you're all shrewd, trying to shift the blame onto me?" Xu Tingchuan pinched her cheek.
Ni Sitian giggled.
After finishing breakfast, Xu Tingchuan changed his clothes and went out.
Ni Sitian doesn't need to go to Wu Miaoshui's place today. She plans to stay home, tidy up the house, and write some more articles.
After seeing Xu Tingchuan off at the door and giving him a goodbye kiss, she turned and went back into the house.
After washing clothes, changing bed sheets and blankets, sweeping the floor, and tidying up the closet, it was noon in the blink of an eye.
There's not much to cook for one person at lunchtime, so she just boiled some noodles and made do.
In the afternoon, she stayed home and wrote her manuscript.
Then I received a notification from the editor that the book was almost all printed and was now scheduled to be shipped to bookstores for sale.
Then I told her that the sample book had been sent to her home and that online pre-orders would be available in a few days. I asked her to post a Weibo post to hold a signed book giveaway to generate buzz.
Ni Sitian quickly replied with a few happy emojis to the editor, just then the doorbell rang.
She quickly got up to open the door, and sure enough, the delivery had arrived.
Ni Sitian was quite excited to receive this heavy package. She had been writing this book since last year, and it had been almost half a year since the book was officially published.
This feeling is so much like being pregnant for ten months, finally having a baby.
She unpacked the package, took out all the books, and held them with joy for a long time, unable to resist lowering her head to smell the fresh ink from the new books.
