Chapter 364 Lu Jiangting's Bottom Line
Chapter 364 Lu Jiangting's Bottom Line
"Why would I ask about these things? I just asked casually."
wrong.
wrong……
Yuyao is acting strangely today.
"She ran away?"
Lin Yuyao raised an eyebrow.
"It's no wonder her family wouldn't let her out, Yuyao. She must have run away to seek refuge with you, right? I remember you said before that her parents weren't exactly kind people. If her parents and in-laws find out you brought her here, they won't let you off the hook."
Lin Yuyao glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I called her over? Don't frame me, I don't know anything. She came here to work and just happened to run into me, it's a coincidence."
Coincidence?
What a coincidence!
He suddenly understood Yu Yao's unusual behavior today.
She did it on purpose; the reason she was willing to stand here and talk to me was actually for Ye Xiaotong's sake.
Lu Jiangting felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He gave a weary, bitter laugh and said, "Yuyao, are you saying this on purpose because you think I'll tell on you? What do you take me for? How could I, Lu Jiangting, be that kind of person?"
Lin Yuyao crossed her arms and remained silent.
Lu Jiangting added, "Have you forgotten? I suggested she run away when you mentioned Ye Xiaotong earlier. Tell me, how could I possibly be that kind of person?"
"Oh, you might not be, but your family might not be."
"My parents and Fang Qing don't know her, they wouldn't talk nonsense."
Fang Qing doesn't know her, but your parents have.
“I’ve only met her once or twice, so my mother doesn’t need to worry. She can even mistake me for someone else now. My father might not remember her either. He met her when she was fifteen or sixteen, which has been several years, so he’s probably forgotten her long ago.”
"Won't he remember you as soon as you mention him?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
He understood; she stayed because she wanted a promise from him.
"Don't worry, I, Lu Jiangting, am not that kind of person. I won't say anything."
Lin Yuyao had been waiting for him to say those words, and upon hearing them, she immediately turned around and entered the residential area.
……
Fu Huaiyi didn't come back tonight, and when he returned the next day, he was complaining.
“That bastard Lu Jiangting ran off after lunch, making us work overtime until midnight.”
Lin Yuyao: "It seems that his father is sick."
Fu Huaiyi was taken aback. "How did you know?"
“I saw it. He was carrying his dad on his back. His dad still had that white gauze and tape from the hospital on his hand. I guess he came back from the hospital.”
Fu Huaiyi pursed his lips and muttered, "What a coincidence!"
Lin Yuyao: "What?"
"Oh, it's nothing." He stepped forward and hugged her. She had just taken a shower and smelled so good. "What soap did you use today? It smells so good."
"You bought it."
Fu Huaiyi: "I bought it?"
"Yeah, you bought so much last year, and you still haven't finished using it all."
is it?
Did I buy a lot?
I have some good news for you.
"Oh? What's the good news?"
"We received payment today, over 20,000, close to 30,000, which means we've recovered all the costs we invested."
Fu Huaiyi: "You made money?"
Lin Yuyao nodded. "Of course."
"You actually made money?"
Lin Yuyao: "..." What kind of expression is that?
Is making money abnormal?
"No, I just thought... I didn't expect to see money so quickly." He wouldn't admit that he genuinely intended for her to spend money and have some fun.
As long as she's happy, it doesn't matter whether she makes money or not.
Anyway, it's Grandpa's money that's being spent.
"Previously, payments were made every three months."
“That was royalties, which the publisher paid me every three months. Now we work independently, and the bookseller settles accounts with us monthly.”
"Oh, that."
Lin Yuyao: "..." Why does this feel a little strange?
We have a weekend off.
"That's great, the weather isn't so hot anymore. Where do you want to go for fun?"
"Do you want to go out and have fun?"
"Whatever, I'm asking you."
"Then let's not go out. My friend might be coming over for dinner."
"Your friend? Who is it? Yi Yunshuo?"
"Yes."
I knew it was him, that glutton.
"Row."
It's only Wednesday today, there are still several days to go.
The next day at work, I received a phone call early in the morning, and Fu Yatong's voice came from the other end.
"sister in law."
Lin Yuyao was surprised, "Yatong, didn't you go abroad?"
"Yes, I went abroad. I called you internationally. You have no idea how troublesome it was; it took several transfers to get through..."
Fu Yatong started complaining, saying how much effort it took her to make that call.
When they installed the telephones, they did indeed install them to a high standard, in order to be able to access the international market and make international calls in the future.
But when she received this international call and heard Fu Yatong rambling on and on about a bunch of useless things, she still felt a pang of heartache.
I don't know if Fu Yatong charges more, but if I answer it, it seems to cost around ten yuan per minute.
"Ya Tong, make a long story short, what do you want to see me about?"
Fu Yatong: "..."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Do you hate me?"
what?
"No." Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said quickly, "Due to the cost of domestic communication technology, it would be very, very expensive for me to answer your call. It might even bankrupt me."
"Is it really necessary? How expensive can phone bills be? If you run out of money, just ask your parents."
Lin Yuyao: "..." It's a mistake for me to discuss saving money with someone like you who has more money than you can spend.
"Okay, so what do you want from me?"
"I received your first magazine issue."
"Really? That's pretty fast."
"I saw that you're accepting submissions, and I'd like to submit something too, is that okay?"
Do you want to write it?
"I want to try."
"Of course, but let's make this clear first. Whether or not I accept your submission isn't up to me. We have editors here, and it can only be used after they review and approve it. Then we'll pay you a certain amount based on the quality and length of your content. Do you agree?"
"Sure, I'll write it and send it to you."
"Sure, no problem."
This was an agreement between Lin Yuyao and Fu Yatong. Every time Fu Yatong published a book, Lin Yuyao would send her a sample copy and ask for her autograph.
The first issue has been received, and the second issue is still on its way.
After exchanging a few words, Lin Yuyao said, "Wait until you finish writing it and send it over. By the way, I've already sent you the second issue; you should receive it in a few days."
"Really? That's great."
"Yes, that's settled then."
"Ok."
I finally heard those words.
"Okay, I'll hang up now. We'll keep in touch later."
She hung up the phone quickly after saying that.
Otherwise, given Fu Yatong's personality, she could go on and on for an hour.
As the number of submissions increased, Song Qin felt overwhelmed.
She can't review all of them.
Lin Yuyao said, "Let's hire two more people."
Song Qin nodded and said, "We need to recruit more, including reporters, specifically those who can negotiate with celebrities."
