My years as a menswear boss
Chapter 116
After Mary taught the children, she sat on the sofa in the living room and read the "Daily Interesting News", which contained the latest serialized novels of Mr. Winston.
As a book fan, she has asked someone to buy the first printed edition of "I Became a Stray Cat".
"Do you like novels written by Paul Winston?" Jiqiu looked at Mary's newspaper and only read the section written by Winston.
"Yes, the content of his novels is very novel. I think he must have an interesting soul." Mary said sincerely.
Jiqiu thought about this strange classmate of hers. She was a different person when she was in Eton school. When she tried to keep a low profile, Winston tried every means to make himself stand out.
In the eyes of those nobles, they couldn't understand why a man of noble birth wanted to write novels to entertain those common people.
After graduating from university, Winston had no intention of inheriting the family, so he left all the property to his half-brother, gave up his extravagant life, and rented a small apartment in the city to make ends meet.
When Jiqiu knew about it, Winston had already made a lot of money from the novels he wrote, bought the apartment, and devoted himself to his writing career. Of course, not every novel was well-received. Popular. ...
Just like the novels he is currently serializing have been criticized in the society, just because Winston has reversed the identities of men and women.
In his novels, the man is responsible for the childbirth and carefully calculates and spends every sum of money, and the woman is responsible for working and supporting the family.
In the eyes of everyone, Winston has become a freak, and the book fans accumulated in the past are running and scolding, but there are still a very small number of people who are willing to wait for him to change his mind and write the next novel.
During this period, Jiqiu deliberately ran to Winston's apartment to test several times, and finally confirmed that he was a man born and raised in England in this era.
Sales of the Daily Anecdote were also affected, with many regular subscribers declaring that they would not pay a steel plate for the paper until Winston's articles had been cancelled.
"Even if something like that happened, are you still on his side?" Jiqiu asked curiously.
Mary hesitated for a moment, nodded her head, and stopped talking.
"Do you want to see him?"
"How could you?" Mary regretted after asking. She forgot that the young man in front of her was still the real boss of "Daily Anecdote".
"Is it really possible?"
"Of course, you have helped me so much, I should do something for you." Jiqiu looked at Mary's cautious eyes and comforted her.
"Will it disturb Mr. Winston? He is so busy." Mary asked hesitantly.
"Pfft, you imagined him to be too diligent." Jiqiu couldn't help laughing, "You won't think so when you see him."
Jiqiu is not a person who procrastinates, she immediately decides to visit Winston.
She had just walked to the door when she heard a roar from inside.
"I won't go back with you!"
Jiqiu and Button looked at each other, and the latter stepped forward to knock on the door.
Soon the door was opened. Behind the door was an old man dressed as a housekeeper. He bowed slightly and invited two people outside to enter.
"Who are you?" Jiqiu looked at the old man, every movement seemed to be measured by a ruler.
The old butler looked serious, "I am Balfour, the butler of Winston Manor, what can I do for you, Mr. Hyde?"
Jiqiu was not surprised that he knew her, after all, the Winston family was also in the upper-class social circle, "I'm here to talk to Winston about something."
Winston looked impatient, he didn't get up to say hello when he saw Jiqiu coming, and poured a bottle of whiskey into his mouth.
Jiqiu has long been used to his beastly demeanor.She kicked Winston's foot with great interest, "What are you doing? Drinking to drown your sorrows?"
Winston had a depressed face when he heard this. He took a sip of wine and said tearfully, "No one likes to read my novels. If this continues, I will have to go back to inherit the family sooner or later."
"Uh...do you want me to congratulate you?" Jiqiu frowned, the man's words were a little awkward.
After receiving the glaring eyes from her classmates, she had no choice but to explain the reason for her visit today, watching Winston's face gradually improve, "So, do you want to meet this young lady?"
"Oh my god, I didn't expect there to be book fans supporting me." Winston stood up and paced the room, he subconsciously touched the stubble on his face, "My current image is really terrible, give me three days Time! I'm going to order a suit right now, oh yes, lend me your blood diamond cufflinks!"
"Calm down!" Jiqiu rubbed the center of his brows irritably, "You are a fan of books, not on a blind date. What she likes are your words, not your perfectly packaged appearance!"
"You don't understand, this may be the only reader I have now." Winston said seriously, "You don't know how many dead cats and mice I have received these days, as well as a bunch of abusive letters. "
"I will ask your editor to stop these letters for you and show them to you after screening." Jiqiu saw the blackness under Winston's eyes, thought for a while and continued, "We will not collect letters from your family. , sent directly to your home."
"Thanks, buddy." Winston scratched his black curly hair. "Without you, I might not be able to continue publishing novels."
"You should thank the editor-in-chief, Frank, who was the one who decided to publish your novel."
Jiqiu said that she never thought that she would not only meet a maverick writer, but also an editor-in-chief with forward thinking. Perhaps the long river of history will annihilate the existence of these people, but their power to promote equal rights will always exist .
Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst came to Tenen Temple Street in a carriage, and they got out of the carriage slowly.
"I really don't want to go in," said Miss Bingley, frowning.
"The day will come," said Mrs. Hurst, looking at her sister. "We mustn't be rude, Caroline. Especially in front of these people."
The two of them were invited into the living room by the servants. Miss Bingley looked around the indoor decorations proudly. They were just some cheap antique decorations and fresh flowers picked in the yard. Chatted with Jane.
Jane answered one by one gently and politely, and Elizabeth sat beside her with a polite smile on her face.
"I'm sorry for causing a misunderstanding between you and brother, please believe me, this is not my intention." Miss Bingley said.
Jane immediately said that it was not her fault, and that she had something wrong.
Elizabeth looked at the fake smile on Miss Bingley's face, and there was a mockery in her eyes. She didn't believe that Miss Bingley couldn't see that her brother and Jane were in love.
"At the beginning, I did have some feelings about this matter, but I didn't want to tarnish the reputation of a young lady who was not married, so I gently reminded my brother not to be too attentive."
Miss Bingley observed the expressions of Sister Bennet, she paused, and continued, "Actually, I am not the only one who thinks this way. Mr. Darcy also persuaded my brother about this matter. He did it out of consideration for a friend. I don’t want to see my friend get hurt, so he agrees with me.”
Elizabeth took a look at Jane's expression, and she slowly said, "Mr. Bingley has his own right to like whoever he likes. Even relatives have no right to arrange his emotional life. Miss Bingley doesn't behave like a sister, but rather Like an elder. I think I would be very sad if I had such a selfish sister."
She learned the lesson from last time, and was not fooled by Miss Bingley's misfortune.
In her opinion, even if Mr. Darcy did this, the influence would be far less than that of Mr. Bingley's family, not to mention the stabbing letters from Miss Bingley.
Miss Bingley was annoyed by Elizabeth's eloquent remarks. The little thoughts in her heart that she least wanted to be known by others were completely exposed to everyone's eyes. It's really unfortunate for a sister like you."
"On the contrary, I am very happy to have such a relative who is willing to defend me."
Jane said with a cold look, this is probably the meanest thing she has ever said. Thinking of Mr. Bingley's firm eyes, she also has some strength in her heart, and she will never be swayed by other people's words, "This place is very unwelcome You, please come back, Miss Bingley, Mrs Hurst."
Mrs. Hurst pulled up her younger sister who could not maintain her dignity, and she said goodbye coldly, "I will tell Charles what you said."
Jane ignored it, stood up and bent her knees, showing the most standard etiquette.
Elizabeth looked at her sister who suddenly burst out in disbelief, "Honey, you really surprised me, are you still my sister?!"
Mrs. Gardiner was also surprised by her niece, who usually never fights or grabs. It is possible that Elizabeth said what she said just now. She did not expect Jane to say such a thing at all, and it was not like her character at all.
"I can't let you stand out for me all the time." Jane changed back to her gentle appearance before, and she gently touched Elizabeth's cheek.
"I'm really touched, Jane." Elizabeth looked at Jane who was no longer weak. She was so excited that she wiped away her tears, "I will always support you to be with Mr. Bully."
Then she felt a little worried again, "Miss Bingley and the others will definitely not repeat this matter truthfully. What should you do if you misunderstand each other again?"
"Oh, Liz. We said that we should give each other some trust. If we are so easily influenced by other people's words, our marriage will not be happy in the future." Jane said.
"That's really great!" Elizabeth hugged her sister happily. After thinking about it, she decided to be on the safe side and try to tell Mr. Hyde about it.
As a book fan, she has asked someone to buy the first printed edition of "I Became a Stray Cat".
"Do you like novels written by Paul Winston?" Jiqiu looked at Mary's newspaper and only read the section written by Winston.
