Ji Qingling came back from the shock, and his smile was a little reluctant, "Mainly because I happened to wear two braids today, so I look similar to the old lady, in fact, if you look closely, my face is rounder, and the bridge of my nose is not so tall, there are still some differences." ”

"Even if it's a biological mother and daughter, they may not look exactly the same, I really think we have a lot of fate between us, please, can you give me a few hairs?" The silver-haired lady grabbed her hand and pleaded.

Ji Qingling froze, if it weren't for the silver-haired lady being Xia Zhu's elder, and Xia Zhu being Zhang Yuan's editor, she would have felt that this was a big scam, how could she ask someone for hair to confess her relatives when she saw someone?

"Auntie, don't be so excited," Xia Zhu knew Ji Qingling's embarrassment, asking for a few hairs seemed like a trivial matter, but it was very taboo in some places, just like you couldn't rashly ask others for your birthday, how unreliable it was to confess halfway for some reason, "You go back first, I'll have a good talk with Qingling, you will frighten her if you are so excited." ”

The silver-haired lady was finally appeased by Xia Zhu, and glanced at Ji Qingling, who looked guarded, she moved her lips, carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed after a while, "Okay, I'll go first, you guys talk slowly." ”

The silver-haired noblewoman's sad and pleading eyes before leaving gave Ji Qingling goosebumps, and she quickly turned her head to Xia Zhu and said, "Sister Xia Zhu, you have to help me, I'm really not an old lady's relative." ”

Ji Qingling felt very depressed, so she came out to go shopping, how could she meet an old lady who wanted to recognize her relatives alive and dead. I knew that she shouldn't have pretended to comb this kind of braid.

Xia Zhu looked at her with a smile, "Do you know who my aunt is?" ”

Even if it's the king of heaven, Lao Tzu has nothing to do with me, Ji Qingling looked unimpressed.

"My eldest uncle's surname is Xiao. His father is Xiao Haotian. Xia Zhu said mysteriously, she didn't believe that she could be so calm when she said this name, Ji Qingling.

Ji Qingling really didn't calm down, "Sister Xia Zhu, I didn't expect you to be also a relative of the emperor!" No wonder they said that when they arrived in the capital, they had to clamp their tails and be a man, and if they walked on the road, they would catch a random person who was a relative of the emperor. ”

Seeing the gossip glint in her eyes, Xia Zhu was speechless, her focus was really different. Although she knew that with Ji Qingling's net worth and her character, she would not cling to anyone at all, but that was Xiao Haotian, who was once one of the most powerful people in the country. Xia Zhu asked herself, it was absolutely impossible for her to be calm.

"Have you ever thought that if you really have something to do with my aunt's family, your life may change drastically? You don't have to live in City A anymore. Even in the capital, everyone has to give you a few points, my aunt and uncle have always been very concerned about my eldest cousin, they may bet this affection on you, and they will help you get whatever you want. Xia Zhu said seductively.

"The problem is that I have nothing to do with your aunt at all, I think what to do with these things, my mother is just a very ordinary rural woman, it can't be a relative of the emperor." Ji Qingling's expression was calm, "I have already got everything I want." I am very satisfied with my current life. So Sister Xia Zhu. Don't test me, I'm really not interested at all. ”

Xia Zhu was not embarrassed by her words, but just sighed, "In terms of heart, I am indeed inferior to you, no wonder Zhang Yuan is full of praise for you." ”

Xiao Haotian's name in the country up to the elderly, down to the Huangkou child, everyone knows, he has been in charge of the domestic power more than 30 years ago, and is one of the most influential people in the whole world, although he has been dead for many years, but the Xiao family has successors, so the Xiao family is still the top family in China, even if the Zhao family is inferior to them.

Although the Zhao family won the victory in the next election, the Zhao family only produced an ordinary national leader, but there is only one Xiao Haotian, and it can be said that the sum of ten ordinary national leaders is not as strong as one Xiao Haotian.

As Xiao Haotian's eldest son, Xiao Xingjian has also entered the central decision-making level, and in the next one or two decades, Xiao's glory will continue.

Being able to have a relationship with such a big family, Ji Qingling also admits that it is indeed very tempting, but she is not Cui Xiheng, she has no ambition, she is very satisfied with her life, and she does not have the habit of casually recognizing relatives, and she always thinks that the bigger the family, the more there are many unsavory secrets, and she is also ready to let Ji Jingui stay away from the Li family, how can she still go to the Xiao family?

"Sister Xia Zhu, let's talk about publishing." Ji Qingling didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he directly put the topic on the right track.

"Okay, I brought the sample book today, you can take a look at it first and give more opinions."

"So fast!" She took the book in Xia Zhu's hand in surprise, and was a little excited in her heart.

"It's just a sample book, you don't know, Zhang Yuan is very picky, and he has to make a lot of changes before publishing, and he will definitely be unrecognizable when the time comes." Xia Zhu said disapprovingly, only a big-name writer like Zhang Yuan has this kind of power, and the whole society has to revolve around her sun, and her old man said that if she wants to change, she must change.

Ji Qingling responded casually, her attention completely focused on the book that exuded the scent of ink, watching her words turn into lead characters, this excitement made her a little unable to come back to her senses.

Xia Zhu felt that this little girl was really interesting, she could still be so calm when she heard about Xiao Haotian just now, but she was excited when she saw a sample book, "Let's talk about your next book now." ”

"The next book?" She couldn't react for a while.

"You forgot? Last time I talked to you about publishing another food book, and then we also used guò to choose a topic for argumentation, and the approval was also very smooth, I even prepared the contract for you, and I will pass it to you later, you can print it out and sign it. ”

"So sloppy."

"How many times have I told you, it's not sloppy, it's efficiency." Xia Zhu glanced at her, "I remember that your hand-painting is good, can you attach some hand-painting yourself?" ”

"I scribbled casually by myself, and I didn't learn it seriously." Ji Qingling's face turned red, she felt that her painting was very naïve, and it was difficult to get into the elegant hall, Xia Zhu also asked her to put her hand-painting in the book, she was so ashamed that she was ashamed.

"It's better if you haven't learned, less craftsmanship and more naturalness. Otherwise, why would we ask you to publish a food book? Don't go to those chefs? Xia Zhu disagreed, "It's okay, it's really not good, let's find an illustrator to co-author with you." The audience of your book is white-collar workers who like to engage in a little flirtatiousness, and fun is the most important thing. So you also have to add some interesting text, and the text you wrote on that food website is quite interesting, and you can also use it. You go back and prepare, and we'll be ready to make your sample book next month. ”

"Next month? So fast? You must know that Zhang Yuan's book has been in preparation for half a year, and she still thinks it is too fast, how can it be possible to write a book in a month?

"What's fast? Some people can get a book out of it by just confined to their home for a week, and the month it takes us to prepare is already considered to be meticulous, you can rest assured that you are not writing an academic masterpiece, you don't need to do much preparation, the key is to attract people. ”

In fact, they have discussed this topic many times, and Ji Qingling has always been difficult to understand this kind of fast food culture, and he is embarrassed, "Then I'll try my best." ”

"What as much as possible? Yes. Xia Zhu is a very thoughtful person and acts decisively, which is completely different from the feeling she gives people, "I will keep an eye on your progress at any time, if I can't keep up with me, I will fly to your house with a photographer, staring at you every day to cook, make a picture, and then sit next to you and stare at you to write, I have to finish this matter within a month." ”

Xia Zhu's threat made her creepy, "It can't be so exaggerated, right?" I can't even write about you. ”

"There is pressure to be motivated, I don't believe you to ask Zhang Yuan." Xia Zhu raised an eyebrow.

"That's how you threatened Zhang Yuan?"

"It's not just a threat, I've always done that." Xia Zhu had an evil smile on her face, although Zhang Yuan often directed her around, but Zhang Yuan's list of people she feared the most must have her name on it.

"No, Mayor Zhao didn't kick you out?" Ji Qingling looked incredulous.

"Why are you kicking me out? I reported to her house on time every morning and left work on time in the evening, and he had to thank me for accompanying his wife to relieve her boredom. Xia Zhu looked disappreciative, "Do you also want to enjoy this kind of treatment?" ”

"Don't dare, let's just call us." She chuckled dryly.

"During this time, I still have to contact your food network, if our publishing house and your website jointly launch this book, it will also have a lot of benefits for your website." Xia Zhu is really a very shrewd publisher.

"I don't understand this, you should still contact Qi Li and Lin Chu, and all the affairs of the website will be decided by them." Ji Qingling waved her hand, she is a person who doesn't know how to operate at all, and she never points fingers at the operation of the website, at most she puts forward some harmless improvement suggestions from the perspective of user use, so their cooperation has always been very pleasant over the years.

"You're a hands-off shopkeeper, I'm quite optimistic about Gourmet.com," Xia Zhu smiled, "But I've heard that a private equity fund wants to buy the equity of Gourmet.com, is that really the case?" ”

"Yes, there is, Lin Chu said that the company is not large, but the conditions offered are very generous, so they are very tempted."

"Looks like you don't agree much?" Seeing that her expression was a little reluctant, Xia Zhu raised her eyebrows. (To be continued......)
