The rich young man was looking for fun, but Weng Xiaoxiao didn't have time to accompany him. She didn't know who he was, so she could not afford to offend him or avoid him.

Weng Xiaoxiao didn't stay in the area after leaving the noodle stall. She just wanted to go out for a walk on the first day. She didn't bring much with her, so she went home after selling 30 bags.

After returning home, Weng Xiaoxiao first went to boil some water, brought a bowl to Weng, and drank two large bowls herself. After resting enough, she began to practice calligraphy and conceive the storybook.

Weng Xiaoxiao was about to go into the kitchen to cook dinner when Lu Yaowen called her over and handed her a stack of manuscripts.

"Sir, has it been finished?" Weng Xiaoxiao was very happy. Holding the manuscript, she found a seat and sat down, slowly flipping through it.

The main plot has not changed much, but after being polished by Lu Shusheng, the writing style has improved a lot and it reads more elegantly. It is really worthwhile to cooperate with Weng Xiaoxiao.

"Mr. Lu writes well. I will take it to the shopkeeper tomorrow. Sir, that store wants to see the entire manuscript. Is that really okay with it?" If there is a problem, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and there would be no return.

"I heard that it has a good reputation. There's nothing we can do except believe it, right?"

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded and stopped caring about it. "Then wait for my good news, sir."

Seeing that Lu Yaowen had already picked up the book and was reading, Weng Xiaoxiao was tactful and quietly walked out.

......

The next day, Weng Xiaoxiao came to Wangyuezhai with ease, found the clerk at the Huabenzi shop, and said that she had a manuscript for the shopkeeper's review.

"Sorry, the shopkeeper is busy right now and will be able to meet you later."

"No hurry, I'll wait." Since the shopkeeper was there, Weng Xiaoxiao didn't want to make a wasted trip, so she simply put the bag on her back and started flipping through the books on the shelf.

In the accounting office next to the script room, Lin Changqing yawned, "Manager Liu, you handled it very well, let's do it this way."

He was not a scholar, and he took over the bookstore out of helplessness. He didn't understand many things, and he was too lazy to understand them. As long as the monthly profit was about the same, not too embarrassing, and the government could report to him, it was enough. He only came once every ten days or half a month to listen to the report and look through the account books.

Manager Liu quickly agreed. The only advantage of the young master is that he doesn't ask too much about the details and delegates the real power. Of course, with the Loyalty and Faithfulness Mansion established there, no one dares to bully the master.

"Are there any interesting new books? I'll take two back for entertainment." He himself doesn't like reading, but his cousin at home does.

"There are a few new books out this month. I'll get them for you right away."

Lin Changqing had nothing to do, so he followed and entered the script room.

"Boss," the waiter greeted Lin Changqing and then saw him, and hurriedly lowered his head and called him "Young Master".

Hearing the voice, Weng Xiaoxiao raised her head from the book, quickly put the book back on the bookshelf, took off her bag, and walked respectfully to the middle-aged man.

The waiter was about to introduce Weng Xiaoxiao, but Manager Liu waved his hand and said, "Go and get a set of this month's new books for the boss."

Upon hearing the order, the waiter immediately responded and turned to look for a book.

Weng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to introduce herself, "Hello, shopkeeper. I have a manuscript here and would like you to take a look at it."

"You wrote it?"

"My brother wrote this, and it is inconvenient for him, a scholar, to show up."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded. There were many poor scholars like him. It was not uncommon. He took it and flipped through it casually, looking at the handwriting, and paused for a moment at the beginning and the end. "Okay, it's passed. Let me read it carefully and decide the number of copies to be printed."

You accepted it right away? It was so quick that I was a little caught off guard.

"That?"

"Don't worry, our store is honest and fair, and we won't bully newcomers. I'll tell you about the contract later."

It's fine as long as we can sign the contract. Newcomers don't dare to expect much money. With a grin, a bright smile bloomed on Weng Xiaoxiao's porcelain-white face, "Okay, okay."

From the beginning, she was only focusing on the shopkeeper, and didn't notice Lin Changqing standing next to her.

However, Lin Changqing had already recognized her and was watching her every move with great interest.

Shopkeeper Liu wanted to send the young master away first, but he didn't expect that after taking the book handed over, the man was still looking for something on the shelf and had no intention of leaving.

Do you want to listen? Shopkeeper Liu is eager for him to learn more.

"The handwriting is clear, the writing is good, and the beginning is attractive. Little brother, can you make the decision?"

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded, "I can make the decision."

"It's fine as long as you can make the decision. We have two cooperation models. One is buyout, and the other is commission based on the number of copies printed. As a newcomer, I suggest you choose the guaranteed buyout. We usually print a hundred copies to test the waters first, and the buyout money is about the same as the commission of these hundred copies."

The shopkeeper is very kind to be able to talk to Weng Xiaoxiao to this extent.

It is impossible for an article that has been popular in later generations to die out here. Weng Xiaoxiao made up her mind without much hesitation, "I understand what you mean, but I am confident in my story. I choose the second cooperation method and get a commission."

Manager Liu smiled and said, "Sure. Zhang Chao, go get two contracts, the kind that pays commission."

I took the deed and read it twice. Fortunately, I have been practicing calligraphy in the past few days and have become familiar with the Thousand Character Classic. I can basically recognize the words in the deed.

Weng Xiaoxiao signed her name without hesitation. Although it was much better than the one she wrote when she rented the house that day, it was still ugly.

When Manager Liu saw that stroke of the pen, he no longer doubted that it was written by his "brother".

Lin Changqing didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he felt that "this kid" Weng Xiaoxiao was extraordinary. There was not the slightest timid and petty nature in him.

"Excuse me, how long will it take for me to get the money?"

"Generally speaking, it will be next month. You can come to collect your commission on this day of every month."

As a newcomer, Weng Xiaoxiao couldn't make any requests and was mentally prepared to get her money later.

"Well, thank you. I don't know your last name yet?"

"Your surname is Liu. Please leave me your address, so I can find you if there is any emergency."

Weng Xiaoxiao didn't think about it anymore, she picked up the pen and wrote it down on the paper. She put the deed away, put it in her sleeve pocket, and left.

Lin Changqing didn't know what was going on, but he followed him for some unknown reason.

"Why are you following me?" Weng Xiaoxiao turned around subconsciously, but unexpectedly caught Lin Changqing red-handed.

"The road is wide and we can go our separate ways. Why would I follow you?" Lin Changqing smiled innocently.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Weng Xiaoxiao had no way to refute it. She naturally recognized that it was the rich kid who was teasing her. There was nothing to talk about with a playboy, so she went around in circles and finally got rid of him in a crowded place.

Watching the little fox slip away, Lin Changqing was not depressed at all. Instead, he looked like he had discovered something interesting. With an unusual excitement on his face, he whistled and strolled into the theater he often visited.

The Qingyi on the stage was singing, "The clear lotus leaves and clear water pond, the mandarin ducks are in pairs, brother Liang~ If Yingtai were a girl in red makeup, would you be willing to be her partner?" (Liang Zhu Yue Opera lines)
