Happy! The stepmother of a wealthy family will lie down and count money

Yu Jingmo took out a number that he had just saved in the phone book, hesitated for two seconds, and finally looked at the time and decided to send a text message first.

Explained his identity and purpose.

It's only a few minutes past nine in the evening. Although the deputy editor asked Hong Hu to tell him that he could contact him at any time, it's better to send a text message first to be on the safe side.

If it's inconvenient, just wait.

But she didn't expect that the phone call came in just after she sent the message.

Yu Jingmo quickly picked up the phone, "Hello, is this Editor-in-Chief Chen?"

A capable and gentle female voice came from the phone: "Hello, Miss Yu."

Chen Daixuan was obviously a person who was quick, decisive and accurate in doing things. After a brief politeness, she went straight to the point.

"One of our fans mentioned your paintings. I went to see them. They have a solid foundation, fine details, and a good overall effect. So I would like to ask you to design the cover for the new solar term series of Micro Matters."

What she didn’t say was that more than a few fans mentioned Yu Jingmo on the official Weibo of “Weishi”.

At first the staff didn't take it too seriously, but later on, for some reason, more and more fans mentioned her.

Everyone hopes that they can ask Yu Jingmo to design the cover, and says that if they really do, it will definitely be a big hit.

We have long-term cooperation with artists for the illustrations of each series of "Micro Matters", and only in certain cases will we look for other illustrators to buy the copyright.

But this time we are planning to launch a new series and need to look for new illustrators.

There were already several candidates, all of whom were illustrators with some fame and good works.

Although Chen Daixuan is not responsible for the operation of the official account, she will read the comments below in her free time every two days.

At a glance, I saw that many netizens mentioned the account "I have to collect rent today too".

She clicked on it and watched it for more than an hour.

There are always people who are better than you, or is it that the masters are among the common people? The words of our ancestors do make sense.

I don't know when it started, but they start by looking at the fame of illustrators first, and then choose the ones with good ability and suitable style from those with good reputations.

Even if the final effect is not that bad, it is putting the cart before the horse.

At first, when she saw so many people mentioning Yu Jingmo’s account below, she wondered if they were the internet trolls she had hired.

But after seeing the works on her homepage, I even wondered for a moment whether it would be a waste of talent to ask her to draw a magazine cover.

However, she still sent her a private message, but she didn't expect to not receive a reply for a long time.

After a little thought, she roughly understood the reason. Fortunately, when she looked at Yu Jingmo's Weibo, she found that she had cooperated with Hongsui, so she immediately asked Hong Hu for help.

"Let me first tell you the general arrangement of this series, and you can think about it."

Chen Daixuan had read Yu Jingmo's Weibo and naturally knew that she had just accepted the design draft for the game "Travel Companion" and was worried that she would not plan to accept other drafts.

So he spoke first: "There are only 24 issues in the Solar Terms series, one for each solar term, so there is plenty of time."

She paused and continued, "The style of painting will also be somewhat different from before."

Most of the covers of "Micro Things" are in simple cartoon or realistic styles, and only a few are in a more delicate style with attention to details.

"In addition to the theme of each issue being related to the solar terms, we plan to use a more complex painting style. Of course, the specific content will be determined by the artist himself."

It was not convenient to go into more details now, so Chen Daixuan stopped and asked, "What do you think?"

Yu Jingmo finally had a chance to speak, and she immediately said, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, just call me normally."

Editor-in-Chief Chen is older than her, and she feels uncomfortable being addressed as "you" all the time.

Chen Daixuan was stunned and didn't react for a moment, but she quickly responded with a slight smile.

Yu Jingmo then continued, "I want to ask when this series will start?"

"The first issue is tentatively scheduled for the spring equinox."

Yu Jingmo calculated that the vernal equinox would be at the end of March, which was just over a month away.

But if she was only responsible for one cover, there would definitely be enough time.

"I want to know, am I only responsible for the cover, or am I also responsible for the illustrations on the inside pages?"

Chen Daixuan certainly didn't get the position of deputy editor-in-chief easily.

After hearing what Yu Jingmo said, she guessed something. "We can discuss this in detail. If you are willing, Miss Yu, we would be happy. But if you don't have so much time, you can just be responsible for the cover."

Yu Jingmo also said simply: "Okay, I'll go to your magazine tomorrow."

Chen Daixuan smiled even more, "Okay, just call me when you get there tomorrow."

Yu Jingmo agreed, and after they confirmed the time, they said goodbye to each other and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she didn't sit still. She immediately found another number and dialed it. After pressing the speakerphone, she put it on the table.

She thought the other party might not answer the phone so quickly, so she picked up the milk and took a sip.

After two beeps, the line was connected, and the young man's cold, doubtful voice rang out in the room.

"Is there a problem?"

Yu Jingmo quickly swallowed the milk in his mouth and said slowly, "You haven't come back yet?"

Lin Qingchuan: "Not yet, waiting for the car to arrive."

Yu Jingmo: "Is there a bookstore nearby that can bring me some copies of Micro Matters?"

Lin Qingchuan paused, looked around, and actually saw a bookstore not far away. "There is one. How much do you want?"

Yu Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "See how many you can get. It would be best if you could get one book from each series."

Lin Qingchuan: "...Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yan immediately came forward and asked, "Aunt Yu, do you want you to bring anything?"

Without waiting for Lin Qingchuan to answer, he continued, "I just saw the message Aunt Yu sent in the group, and I haven't had time to reply yet."

Lin Qingchuan said casually, "Let me buy some books. I'll go to that bookstore."

Cheng Yan immediately pulled Cheng Shu along, "Wait, we'll go with you!"

……

A few minutes after Yu Jingmo finished calling Lin Qingchuan, he saw Cheng Yan's reply in the group chat.

[Cheng Yan: Aunt Yu, we just bought you a book, why do you suddenly want to read Weishi?]

[Cheng Yan: But it’s not important. I know a little about what you said. Wei Ruan and Gu Fu seemed to be good sisters in the past, but according to gossip, Wei Ruan stole Gu Fu’s boyfriend!]

[Cheng Yan: And within a month after he snatched her away, he dumped her again, saying he was no longer interested. That’s it!]

[Cheng Yan: Oh, and she also said that if the guy wasn’t Gu Fu’s boyfriend, she wouldn’t bother snatching him away!]
