"Classmate Zhao, I didn't expect it to be you, I thought I remembered it wrong?" The young woman who came to negotiate with Zhao Xingchi from the University of Finance and Economics Press immediately said this sentence in surprise when she saw Zhao Xingchi.

Stephen Zhao didn't expect that the person who came to negotiate would be his senior counselor Qian Minli, a beauty from the province.

Dressed in an eggflower dress, cool high-heeled sandals, and a pair of black glasses on the bridge of her nose, her more mature temperament at work makes Qian Minli look more and more beautiful, and she is a real urban beauty. Only the pointed chin made Qian Minli look a lot thinner.

"Big money?" Zhao Xingchi said with some surprise: "I didn't expect it to be your rich beauty, aren't you a teacher, why did you suddenly transfer to work in a publishing house?" ”

Speaking of this, Qian Minli's face darkened slightly, but then she smiled and said, "What's this, secondment for work." I am a brick of the school, and I will use it wherever it is needed. Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have actually written novels, and you have been unanimously praised by many teachers in the publishing house? ”

Qian Minli knows Stephen Zhao, and in her impression, Stephen Zhao is more than inferior and ordinary.

When she was in school, she also didn't discover Stephen Zhao's talent in writing.

Who knew that Lu Dao was so coincidental, when she was in the publishing house, she was still muttering whether Zhao Xingchi, who wrote "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", was he, but she didn't expect that when they met, it was really the Zhao Xingchi she knew, and she was really surprised, and she hasn't eased up until now.

"Hey, it's not a mess." Stephen Zhao snorted, and then asked, "How is your work lately, is it okay?" ”

He noticed Qian Minli's face, and compared Qian Minli's figure in his impression, his chin was much sharper than in his impression, and the flesh color on his face was gone, and the originally round face completely turned into a melon seed face. Although it seems to be more beautiful and sexy than before, it reveals a distressing sense of exhaustion.

"Work is work, and nothing can't be done." Qian Minli obviously didn't want to say more on this issue, so she immediately changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, why don't you have to take care of me this time, I took over the task to pull you to our side, and you also graduated from our school, right?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Xingchi said with a smile.

……

The above is the first day the two met.

The next day, when the contract was signed, it was a different story.

As soon as they met, Qian Minli asked with a smile, "What?" Figured it out? Want to sign a contract with a school press? When I said the conditions yesterday, I was very unhappy to see your face. ”

Zhao Xingchi coughed and sneered: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, the conditions given by the school turned out to be the highest, so I came back." Of course, Sister Li, you have to carry a little bit for me, and help me say good things in front of all the teachers, just say that Stephen Zhao is grateful for the nurturing grace of his alma mater, so he resigned the super high conditions of other publishing houses and insisted on signing a contract with his alma mater publishing house."

Qian Minli laughed out loud, and then said with a smile: "Stephen Zhao, why didn't you find that you could speak so well when you were in school before?" Okay, you, one set. However, if I help you so hard, do you have to reward me too? ”

"Of course, of course!" Zhao Xingchi looked at her flower-like smile, his heart fluttered slightly, and he suddenly felt a little itchy, and when he hurriedly answered, his eyes became a little hot.

Qian Minli immediately noticed it, her heart couldn't help jumping, her face was hot, and she hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm not kidding you, since the contract has been signed, then I should also go back to Changnan." ”

With that, Qian Minli also stood up and began to pack up the contract.

Zhao Xingchi then stood up, and while helping to clean up, he asked in surprise, "You have to leave so soon?" I was going to treat you to a meal, right? ”

"No, next time, the publishing house still has a lot to do." After speaking, Qian Minli hurriedly left.

Although Zhao Xingchi was puzzled, he couldn't force her to stay, so he sent her out of the café and to the bus stop.

When she was about to get on the bus, Zhao Xingchi shouted at her in the back: "Qian Minli? ”

"Huh?" Qian Minli turned her head and looked at him suspiciously.

"If you have any troubles, you can call me, we're friends, aren't we?" Zhao Xingchi smiled and waved his hand.

Under the sun, Zhao Xingchi was dressed in the glow and smiled, and Qian Minli was stunned, and somehow, somewhere in his heart suddenly trembled.

There was a slight hint of water in her black and white eyes, and after nodding heavily and saying "Well, we are friends", she quickly covered her mouth, she was afraid that she would cry herself.

Qian Minli thought of the open and secret battles in the school, the dirty deeds, the shameless faces of some people, and the loneliness of a person in school. At this moment, Stephen Zhao's smiling face was like a warm sunshine shining into the depths of her heart.

The bus started quickly, leaving quickly, getting farther and farther away, Qian Minli who was sitting in the car finally couldn't see Zhao Xingchi's figure. She turned her head to look ahead, tears falling like broken threads.

Zhao Xingchi, who was standing at the waiting station, couldn't see this scene, he didn't know what to do, his subconscious actions and words would move Qian Minli to tears, he just felt that Qian Minli was not happy working at school, so he wanted to comfort her, and then be a listener at some point.

It wasn't until the bus disappeared that Stephen Zhao went home.

finally got the publication of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and Zhao Xingchi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Xingchi is still depressed, because in the contract signed with the publishing house, the remuneration is settled every six months, which means that he will not receive the manuscript fee for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" until at least the end of the year. During this period, he still has to rely on his parents for food and clothing, and he has to continue to gnaw at the old.

"Perhaps, I should find something to do with the quick money?" Stephen Zhao thought as he walked.

When I got home, it was already half past eleven in the morning.

As soon as I entered, there were already four cars parked in the small yard, filling the entire yard to the brim.

Zhao Xingchi was stunned for a moment, and then saw two girls running out of the house in a hurry, it was the two baby daughters of his aunt Zhao Ying's family, Zhao Li and Zhao Rong.

"Cousin, help me stop her, she snatched my ticket!" Sister Zhao Li ran behind, and when she saw him coming in from outside the door, she immediately smiled and hurriedly greeted him.

"Cousin, don't listen to him, this is my ticket." Sister Zhao Rong immediately retorted, and ran behind him with a smile, pulling his clothes as a shield.

Zhao Xingchi couldn't cry or laugh, grabbed Zhao Rong's collar and dragged her to him, and asked, "Good guy, you dare to use your cousin as a shield, tell me, what kind of ticket is it, and you can't stop scrambling?" ”

Zhao Li stopped, crossed her waist and glared at Zhao Rong, and said loudly: "This is the ticket for the concert that my father rewarded me." ”

"You're a sister, you have to let me." Zhao Rong pouted and said.

"You ......" Zhao Li was half angry, like rushing over to grab a ticket.

When Zhao Xingchi saw this situation, he immediately reached out and snatched the ticket from Zhao Rong's hand, and said at the same time: "Okay, don't fight, isn't it just a concert ticket, my cousin will give you one, so that you don't have to fight, it's really, what a big deal." ”

However, when he saw the content on this ticket, Stephen Zhao's face immediately collapsed, sister, it was actually a ticket for the concert of Jay Sun, the king of Chinese music!

But at this time, he couldn't be allowed to regret it, Zhao Rong had already pounced on him, and said with a grin: "It's still the best cousin, long live cousin!" ”
