Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dating
Although the covenant of Wuda was set, this did not affect the development of the relationship between the two. Deep down, both of them treat each other as lovers. This is also the reason why Lin Baoer never shies away from suspicion and goes out with him.
For couples, appear in front of each other's relatives, friends or business partners as the other half and participate in each other's lives. is a very important step. Many couples are very concerned about this, and obviously Lin Baoer is too.
After school at noon, Zhu Ziqing called Zhu's mother, gave a brief explanation of the situation, and told her to call the head teacher to help ask for leave. Lin Baoer was not so convenient, so she could only call the head teacher in person to ask for leave.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhu Ziqing always felt that the head teacher's words this time were a bit much. and kept asking from the side if he was with Zhu Ziqing. But fortunately, Lin Baoer was her protΓ©gΓ© after all, and finally approved an afternoon off.
Wei Zhixing and his entourage couldn't arrive until more than four o'clock, and now it's only a little past twelve. That's long enough time to go home for dinner and take a nap. But neither of them seemed to think of this, and neither of them mentioned the matter of going home.
"Such a big thing just happened, shouldn't Wei Zhixing, as the deputy editor-in-chief, be in charge of the magazine. Why did you come here?" Lin Bao'er asked Zhu Ziqing with a third of her share of egg fried rice.
"I know why he's coming, but I don't understand why he's coming at this juncture. Zhu Ziqing carefully moved the plate that was about to be spilled in front of him, and said, "Speaking of which, you have also read the sample of the magazine. How does it feel?"
"Well made, well laid out, more artistic, and overall better than before. However, there is still not much breakthrough in the content, and it is all supported by your two stories. β
"Haha...... I'm a genius. Zhu Ziqing pretended to be arrogant.
"Great genius, this time you were almost harmonized by the harmony. Fortunately, Professor Luo Hongmian came forward to write an article, otherwise it would be up to you to do something. Don't do anything like this again. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. β
"Don't worry, I promise not to do it in the future. "Remembering all the negative reports about him some time ago. Even if he didn't care about this fairy tale, Zhu Ziqing still had palpitations.
This experience made him personally experience the feeling of being pointed out by Qianfu, and made him deeply understand what it means to be full of money and accumulate bones. He didn't want to try it a second time in his life.
"It's good to know. "Little Beanie by the Window" is about to be revised, are you going to hand it over to another publisher or continue to cooperate with "Children's Literature"?"
After all, "Children's Literature" has risen too short and its sales channels are too narrow. It's okay to just publish a magazine. If a single book is published, the problem of insufficient background will be revealed. This new book Zhu Ziqing is not ready to take the road of serialization, but directly publishes a single book. If we continue to cooperate with magazines, I am afraid that the sales of new books will be affected. That's why Lin Baoer asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's wait until the book is fixed. Do you have any suggestions?"
"It's not that I have any suggestions, it's my mom. After reading the book, she had other ideas. You'll talk to her when you're free. β
"Mother-in-law, what does her old man think, can you tell me about it? Zhu Ziqing said with a grin.
"Phew, it's not in shape. My uncle bought a publishing house some time ago, saying that he was going to start a business. But the situation has not been opened. Didn't we just happen to be working on a book? I'm going to discuss with you and see if it can be published in my uncle's publishing house. β
It is not the first time that such an intimate little joke has been made between the two, and Lin Baoer also has a certain resistance, but her thin face is slightly red and she does not refute it.
"How can this be called not right, isn't it a natural thing for me to call her mother-in-law. β
"You also said that you have the ability to call it in front of her. What kind of ability to take advantage of me here. After all, Lin Bao'er's face is tender, and she still can't stand it if she is too intimate.
"Ah, that. Our uncle actually opened a publishing house? I knew who was still working with "Children's Literature". β
shouted in front of Mother Lin, and didn't dare to borrow ten guts from him. But he was really curious about Lin Bao'er's uncle running a publishing house. Why haven't I heard Lin Baoer mention it before.
"No one thought your novel would be so well written. Uncle's publishing house itself is losing money, if you don't write well. That's not more than paying. Lin Baoer took a sip of water, moistened her throat and said.
"......" Zhu Ziqing naturally won't, Lin Bao'er's words are serious.
He didn't need to say it, he could guess a thing or two. He writes fairy tales, and he still follows the path of serialization. Before fame, it is not suitable for direct publication. If Lin Baoer's uncle is wealthy, he can still make money by selling for a long time. But a publishing house that keeps losing money obviously can't wait that long.
After becoming famous overnight, he signed a generous contract with "Children's Literature". Lin Baoer's family is even more reluctant to delay his "money" journey.
And now looking for him, first, they found that "Little Doudou by the Window" is not a simple children's book, it can be said that it is suitable for all ages, and it can be published directly as a single book. The second possibility is that Lin Baoer's uncle is no longer able to support it. Had to find him to gamble.
"Don't worry, this book will be handed over to our uncle's publishing house. Not only this one, but all my books will be published by him in the future. β
"Think about what to do so far, let's get past the difficulties in front of us first. Now that you agreed. Then I'll send the manuscript to my uncle when I go back and let him read it. Obviously, Lin Baoer is quite unoptimistic about her uncle.
"Don't worry, I'm here to promise it's okay. Don't you still believe in my abilities? Tell me the details of my uncle first, so that I can be prepared. β
"I know so much, it's usually my mother who is in contact with him. When you're free, you can ask my mom.
Strictly speaking, this is the first date since Zhu Ziqing and Lin Baoer confessed.
Although the two of them went in and out of school in the afternoon recently, they both went straight to Lin Baoer's house, and they didn't stop in the middle. So these four hours are especially cherished by both of them.
Don't get me wrong, they didn't do what they loved to do, they didn't even hold hands. It's just a matter of eating and shopping. The two did not go to the big shopping malls and supermarkets, but went to the small street stalls on the side of the road.
"Look over there, that crystal headdress is so beautiful......"
"How about I buy a ribbon like this and tie my hair at home?"
"This tumbler is so cute, look at it, you see, no matter how you shake it, it won't fall ......"
Lin Bao'er was like a bee running around in the garden, and she had no time to care about a few crystal-like beads of sweat on her delicate face.
Looking at the girl who was very different from her usual light and elegant appearance, Zhu Ziqing suddenly realized that she was not doing too unqualified? Just a simple shopping can make her happy like this.
Then it occurred to him that he had never given anything to a girl in all the time he had known her. It's not that girls are greedy for vanity, it's just an interaction between couples. It doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or not, what they care about is the emotion and romance contained in this behavior.
Zhu Ziqing is not a person who does not admit his mistakes, since he has not done well, he will quickly make up for it. Let's start now, now. Strive to be a qualified boyfriend.
"Bao'er, you wait for me. Thinking of this, Zhu Ziqing suddenly opened his mouth and called out to Lin Bao'er, who was about to go forward. Then under her gaze, he walked over to a stall.
"How much does a pair of boss sunglasses cost?"
"Twenty-five for a fixed price. β
"Fifteen, I want a pair. β
"Okay, you pick. β
The difference between a stall and a large shopping mall is here, one can negotiate the price, and the other has a fixed price. If you are not a frequent visitor to the stall, it is easy to be slaughtered.
Many things in Zhu Ziqing's house are bought from stalls, so he is naturally familiar with this. Very skillful to reveal the actual price of glasses.
The eyes of setting up a stall are the most vicious, and it is easy to hear from Zhu Ziqing's words that he is knowledgeable. I happily agreed to the price. After all, he can still make a lot of money by selling it at this price.
Zhu Ziqing carefully selected a pair, and then took out the wet wipes he took from the restaurant during the meal and scrubbed them clean. came to Lin Bao'er: "Give it to you." β
Lin Bao'er didn't reach out to pick it up, but stood there quietly looking at him with a smile. I also fell in love a few times in my previous life, and I was not a rookie, so Zhu Ziqing understood what she meant at once. A heart was suddenly filled with a wave of tenderness.
With a slightly trembling hand, he carefully put the glasses on for her. Fingers inadvertently touched the skin on her cheeks, and suddenly an electric shock sensation hit her. The skin is as smooth and delicate as satin.
Without a pause, pretending to be natural for her to put it on. Then he took a few steps back and looked at it, but there was a feeling of amazement.
The one Zhu Ziqing chose was a large-framed sunglasses with purple lenses, which could almost cover the small half of a person's face. Purple originally represents this mysterious, noble, and passionate.
Lin Bao'er is usually like a slim daffodil, graceful and gentle. Wearing this pair of purple glasses, it turned into a proud noble rose, mysterious and cold.
But no matter what kind of Lin Baoer, in Zhu Ziqing's opinion, she is so beautiful and moving.
"How about it, do I wear it properly?" asked Lin Bao'er with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
"It's good-looking, this pair of glasses is fortunate to be worn by you, it's really a blessing that it has been repaired for eight lifetimes. "I'm not a rookie, adjust my mentality, and the love words will come as soon as I open my mouth.
"Desser. Okay, it's not too early, Wei Zhixing and they should also arrive. Let's go back now. β
"Good. β
