"Brother, I don't have that kind of feeling towards Cheng Song!" Jiang Lian told the truth.

She and Cheng Song have been together for so long, of course she knows what Cheng Song is thinking, but he has never expressed his feelings to her directly. If she takes the initiative to explain it to him, she would seem to be being presumptuous!

"Since you don't have that intention, then you should keep your distance from her!" Jiang Cong didn't want his sister to always keep her hanging.

"Okay, husband, Xiaolian is old enough to make her own decisions. Let's just eat and stop talking nonsense!"

Qin Man spoke in a vague manner, and Jiang Lian gave her a grateful look.

In fact, Qin Man now feels that Jiang Lian is distancing herself from Cheng Song and getting closer to Zhang Ke, which is even more inappropriate, right?

After dinner, Jiang Cong rode his bike to take Jiang Lian back to the dormitory. After returning, Qin Man told Jiang Cong that she saw Jiang Lian and Zhang Ke go out to watch a movie alone today.

"Hubby, I don't think that Zhang Ke is an honest man. You'd better go to the store from time to time when you are free at school. I'm afraid Xiaolian has been fooled by him!"

"Even you have directly said that he is not a good person, so we must not deal with this person. I will talk to Xiaolian!" Jiang Cong looked a little unhappy.

"Of course, my judgment may be wrong, but the first impression this guy gave me was really not good!"

She may have made mistakes sometimes, so we can't make a decision too early.

"I'll find time to go check it out. Men understand other men the best. Don't worry!"

Qin Man found that after she and Jiang Cong had been together for a long time, Jiang Cong's personality had changed a lot. He talked more and laughed more than before.

Little did she know that he was only like this in front of her. If no one took the initiative to talk to him outside, he would still be as silent as ever.

"By the way, have you finished the second volume of your book?"

Qin Man suddenly asked about the progress of his book.

"I've finished writing it and am checking it now. When I go to the publishing house to collect my royalties on the 1st, I'll take the manuscript with me!"

He has already finished writing his second book, and the only thing left to do is the last volume, and then his first novel in his life, "The Legend of the Gods", will be finished.

"Come on, husband. I'm rooting for you!" Qin Man made a cheering gesture to him and winked at him playfully.

"Come on, Dad. I'm rooting for you too!" Xiaoyu also ran out to join in the fun and followed her mother in making a cheering gesture.

"You little brat!" Qin Man tapped her head in a reproachful tone. Jiang Cong held his daughter in his arms lovingly.

"Mom, I'm done with my bath, you can wash your sister now!"

Xiao Li took a shower and walked out of the bathroom, her hair was still wet.

"Okay, honey, you clean Xiao Li's hair, and I'll go give Xiao Yu a bath!"

Qin Man got up to get some hot water, and Jiang Cong went to find a dry towel to wipe Xiao Li's hair.

After cleaning up the two little ghosts, he boiled water for himself to take a bath.

The next day, Qin Man was responsible for sending two children to kindergarten. On the way, she met Da Zhuang's mother who was also sending her children to kindergarten. After sending the children to kindergarten, the two went to the store together.

When we arrived at the store, Aunt Liao and Uncle were already there, as well as the newly hired clerk.

The new clerk was ten years older than Qin Man, and her name contained the word "Chun", so Qin Man called her Sister Chun.

Aunt Liao is preparing the soup base needed for today, Uncle is grinding soybeans and brown rice to prepare today's free soy milk, and Sister Chun is in charge of sanitation outside the venue.

The supplier of the vegetable market delivered today's vegetables, and Qin Man and Da Zhuang's mother skewered the vegetables together. Everyone had a clear division of labor, and the preparations for opening the market were very thorough.

Now Qin Man hardly needs to worry about the store. She only needs to calculate the store's accounts every day and lend a hand when she is too busy.

On March 1st, Jiang Cong brought his manuscript to the publishing house to collect his royalties and also submitted the manuscript for the second volume.

Editor-in-Chief Lin had great confidence in his ability and only skimmed through a few pages.

The proceeds from the last 3,000 books printed last year have all been credited, and Jiang Cong received a fee of 2,100 yuan.

After all the second volumes have passed the review, they can be printed and put on the shelves. This time the target number is set directly at 8,000 copies. With the foundation of the first volume, many old readers have been waiting for the second volume to be put on the shelves, which is equivalent to having a certain fan base.

"Teacher Jiang, you can start preparing for the third and final volume now. We expect it to be finished by the end of this year and available in the early next year. We will then prepare a big promotion for you. We will print and release the entire volume, which will surely bring in considerable profits!"

Editor Lin has already made plans. He has done market research and found that the book has received very good reviews. After it is completed, he can promote and sell it. ..

"When the time comes, I will contact my editor friends in other provinces to help you get your product listed in other provinces. However, your income may be reduced to open up sales channels!"
