Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

After reading it, Ai Shutong returned the newspaper to him and said, "I read this novel when I was in Beijing."

Zhan Yongwen scratched his head awkwardly, "My colleagues and I have just arrived here and have not received any good submissions yet, so we are serializing the previous novel first."

Ai Shutong: "I wrote a novel. Please take a look at its quality and see if it is worthy of being published in your newspaper."

After saying that, she reached into her purse and took out the first three chapters of the novel she had prepared.

After reading it, Zhan Yongwen praised it highly: "Your vernacular writing is so good, the sentences are easy to understand, and the subject matter is very novel. It is exactly what we need!"

Ai Shutong was very happy and immediately flattered him, "Sir, you really have a keen eye. With a talent like you in your newspaper, it will be hard not to prosper!"

"When I first met you, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. You had a scholarly air about you, but men and women are strictly prohibited from introducing themselves."

"My name is Ai... Li Qiuying. It's an honor to meet you, sir. What's your name?"

Zhan Yongwen finally understood that the two had only met once and did not know each other...

After the two got to know each other, they immediately got down to business.

Zhan Yongwen: "How many words does it take to write Miss Li's story?"

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes and did not say that she had already finished writing the novel, which had more than 500,000 words in total. Instead, she said ambiguously, "About 400,000 to 500,000 words. If it goes well, it may be 500,000 to 600,000 words!"

With over 500,000 words, it is already considered a novel.

Zhan Yongwen said happily: "It's better to make it longer, so that readers will enjoy it more!"

Ai Shutong asked with concern: "Do we need to sign a contract?"

Zhan Yongwen: "Yes, yes!"

"I'll get it. Take a look."

Ai Shutong read it carefully and asked a few questions about what she didn't understand. After being answered one by one, she asked again, "What's the difference between publishing 1,000 words, 1,500 words, and 2,000 words in this daily edition?"

Zhan Yongwen: "From your looks, you haven't published any work before, right?!"

It was not surprising that Ai Shutong was found out to be a newcomer, after all, an experienced person would not ask so many questions.

"Yes!"

She was not afraid of being deceived by him. If he lied, he would be exposed sooner or later. If he was not a fool, there would be no need to take the risk.

"New writers are paid one yuan or one dollar and fifty cents per thousand words."

"But if you can guarantee continuous updates, the more you publish per day, the more money you'll get."

Ai Shutong immediately climbed up the pole, "If I can guarantee to update continuously, and publish 2,000 words every day, can I get a price of 1.5 yuan per thousand words?"

Zhan Yongwen: "Yes, but after you sign the contract, if you stop updating, we will deduct money from you. It is written in the contract."

Ai Shutong nodded and said, "I saw it. Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to deduct money!"

This was exactly what Zhan Yongwen wanted, and the two quickly signed the contract.

Ai Shutong felt very lucky today and was in a good mood.

On the way home, I saw a cake shop on the street and stopped the rickshaw.

She packed a small cake and took it back to the villa.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the smell of beef stewed with potatoes, "Xia Yu, what delicious food did you make?"

Xia Yu tied an apron and ran out of the kitchen, "Miss, I made your favorite potato stewed beef."

"I know you love beef, and I bought two kilograms when I saw it at the market!"

Ai Shutong feels that she is so lucky today!

It was sunny on March 4.

After raining for several days, the sky finally cleared up.

Ai Shutong ran to Li Zhong's house to call Ina.

"Yina, I want to go to the shooting range in the basement of the department store to learn how to shoot. Can you lend me Andre for a day?"

She had never been there and wanted to find someone she knew to show her the way.

When Ina heard this, she immediately said happily: "I haven't been to the mall for a long time. If you accompany me for a morning, I will lend you Andre in the afternoon."

Ai Shutong responded neatly, "No problem!"

After the two met, Ina looked at her and said, "Tong, if you want to go to the shooting range, you'd better change into a pair of pants!"

Ai Shutong shrugged and said, "I don't have any pants, only a skirt!"

Ina said with a "tsk tsk" sound, "You are so pitiful. I must pick out two more sets of clothes for you today!"

Ina was shopping with Mary, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, they sat down in the restaurant on the fifth floor.

On the table were French sausages, ham, spiced beef, sirloin steak, shrimps...

The two of them chatted while eating!

"I agreed to go shopping with you in the morning, and let Andre accompany me to the shooting range in the afternoon!"

"It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't have the energy to learn how to shoot!"

Ina smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, little cutie. I can lend you Andre for a day tomorrow. I'll pay for your time at the shooting range! Are you satisfied?"

Ai Shutong nodded repeatedly while eating steak, "Satisfied! Do you want to learn how to shoot with me?"

Ina, who was thought to be interested in this, shook her head and said, "No, no, no, my knight will protect me!"

"No, look, here he comes."

Ai Shutong turned her head and saw Li Maili walking slowly towards her with a gentleman's cane.

No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see any charm in this middle-aged man.

Why is Yi-na so obsessed with him? !

He walked closer and sat down next to Ina. Ina took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his head. "Where have you been? Why are you sweating so much?"

Li Maili: "I went to the rooftop to dance with the Haas couple!"

Ina introduced to Ai Shutong: "Hass is the director of the Concession Municipal Council! He is a Jew with a good business sense."

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement.

Li Maili looked at her and said, "I found the Dean of Academic Affairs of Zhongxi Girls' High School, and she agreed to let you study there as a transfer student!"

Ai Shutong asked: "Don't you have to take the exam?"

Li Maili: "If you can pass the exam, you will save a lot of money!"

Ai Shutong: "Oh! Believe me, it will save a lot of money!"

"But recently I want to learn how to shoot a gun, so I may have to postpone my enrollment in school for a while."

Li Maili: "Shooting is not suitable for you girls!"

Ina advised: "If she wants to play, let her play! It's no big deal!"

Li Maili suddenly felt a little worried when he saw the two of them. When they were together, they often did some outrageous things. If he had known this would happen, he would not have allowed them to meet...

The next day, Ai Shutong was taken to the underground shooting range by Andre.

There are strong men coming in and out here, and even the ones serving tea and water are male waiters.

Ai Shutong was glad that she didn't rashly come here alone.

After Andre came in, he kept greeting people and looked like he came here often.

Ai Shutong asked, "Do you come here often?"
