Editor Chen almost couldn't stop talking about gossip, and accidentally even told the story that several authors had married second wives without telling their families.

"Oh, this sounds nice, but in reality, isn't it just that you want to keep your wife in your hometown to take care of your parents, while you also want to live an easy life and have the best of both worlds?" Editor Chen is a rare man who has stayed with his wife from the beginning, and he looks down on such people from the bottom of his heart.

"Ms. Feng, don't think that all these authors make as much money as you do. Some of them are just for show, and they love to attend banquets everywhere."

Editor Chen talked more and more, and soon his throat felt dry and smoking.

Shen Wenjiao filled his teacup with water, which was rare for her. She looked at Editor Chen with great trust. If he didn't really care about her, he wouldn't have explained everything in detail. Editor Chen was really thoughtful.

Well, thanks to Jian Xingzhi for the introduction. Editor Chen is particularly reliable in this regard.

Editor Chen talked a lot, and it was true that his daughter, who was not even old enough, had already felt the heart of an old father.

"Hey, today is the best day to attend a banquet. It just so happens that Mr. Xiao An invited me."

Editor Chen looked at Shen Wenjiao's bewildered expression and quickly explained, "This Mr. Xiao An is the bookseller responsible for the publication and sales of The Kingdom of Women, and it's selling well. Isn't he eyeing the currently serialized Four Doors?"

"He is the great-nephew of Mr. Xiao, and he has quite a bit of status in Shanghai. He is in charge of a portion of the Xiao family's business."

After Editor Chen's rambling, Shen Wenjiao made a mental note of Mr. Xiao An. He was known for his generosity in the Shanghai cultural circle. He was also a smooth listener and had good relationships with many literati.

"It was only because of Mr. Xiao's help, otherwise several people who spoke without paying attention would have been arrested." Editor Chen sighed when he said this. Now the newspaper's words are like a shackle, because the Japanese are watching!

I really can't even tell the truth~

Shen Wenjiao did not nod immediately. It was not easy to conclude whether someone was a good person or not.

Shen Wenjiao's rare initiative to ask to go out made Ms. Feng Ya smile all of a sudden, and she was very proactive in wanting to help her daughter dress up.

Ms. Feng Ya had a comfortable smile on her face. She discussed with Feng Ma about getting clothes and jewelry for Shen Wenjiao, wanting to dress Shen Wenjiao in the most fashionable way.

"Oh, I should have made a few more clothes for you. Time is still a bit too tight~" Ms. Feng Ya was a little dissatisfied with the clothes in her hands, and she was also a little disgusted with the silver bracelets and watches that Shen Wenjiao always wore on her hands.

"Why don't you change it to a jade one? It will be more suitable with this dress." Ms. Feng Ya wanted to help Shen Wenjiao change the silver bracelet on her wrist. It seemed that her daughter liked this bracelet very much and wore it quite often.

Shen Wenjiao blocked her mother's action and changed the bracelet naturally.

"Mom, that's enough. There will be many opportunities in the future~" Shen Wenjiao tilted her little face and squinted her eyes, letting her mother play freely. It didn't matter even if she turned out to be a clown.

Shen Wenjiao has never put on any serious makeup for the public, and she has to rely on the clever Ms. Feng Ya for this. In fact, Shen Wenjiao has used her fame to buy makeup skills, so it is easy for her to put on a suitable makeup.

Isn't this giving her mother room to perform?

Ms. Feng Ya paused, glanced at her girl who seemed to be just going out for fun, and said, "Be careful. Look at the sisters from the Su family across the street. They are much smarter than you~"

As a mother, she is really worried.

Shen Wenjiao said "Oh~" perfunctorily. She knew what was going on inside. If it weren't for avoiding the unreliable marriages pushed by their families, the Su sisters probably wouldn't have gotten married so early. Anyway, Shen Wenjiao didn't feel that they had much love before.

Blind marriages and making do with each other's lives are the norm in this era.

Shen Wenjiao's obvious lack of interest once again choked her mother, "Hey, pay more attention!"

After being dressed up by Ms. Feng Ya, Shen Wenjiao looked a little older, which reduced her naive and straightforward aura, and made her look much gentler. In simple terms, it was the kind of feeling that mothers-in-law like to have at home.

When Editor Chen came to pick up Shen Wenjiao, Ms. Feng Ya expressed her sincere gratitude for a long time.

"How pitiful are the love of parents in the world! Miss Feng, your mother really cares about you!" Editor Chen couldn't help but sigh as he thought of Ms. Feng Ya who was very enthusiastic just now.

"That's my mother. She's always been nice to me." Shen Wenjiao was speechless. It was nothing strange that her mother was nice to her.

Editor Chen shook his head and didn't say what Ms. Feng Ya had asked him to say. After all, in this era where parents' orders and matchmakers' words are important, it is rare for Miss Feng's mother to value her daughter's thoughts the most.

But considering Ms. Feng's current fame and financial resources, it won't be a problem for her to choose according to her heart. The elders can just help her to see the other person's character.

"Get in the car, Miss Feng, don't mind that this is a rickshaw!" Screenwriter Chen wanted to lend a car to Shen Wenjiao, but it was too late.

Shen Wenjiao naturally got on the clean and respectable rickshaw, which was obviously the best one, and replied in a very friendly manner, "I don't mind, as long as you don't let me walk past."

"That won't work! If I really do that, the other editors will laugh at me. And if you end up under someone else's control, I'll be at a huge disadvantage."

Editor Chen expressed his biggest worry in a joking way. In the past, Shen Wenjiao had entrusted him with all matters related to the novel. As the reputation of the pen name Qingfeng Mingyue rose, Editor Chen also made a lot of money and gained a lot of face in the newspaper.

The editors who had famous best-selling authors on their payroll had a louder voice in the newspaper office, after all, the sales of the newspaper still depended on these famous authors. Especially for authors like Shen Wenjiao who didn't get involved in current affairs and only focused on writing novels, her job as an editor was even easier.

"No, Editor Chen, you are so responsible! Usually you never bother me with anything, which is really great." Shen Wenjiao expressed her gratitude sincerely.

Editor Chen felt relieved that his efforts were noticed by others. It took him a lot of effort to stop those who had evil intentions.
