After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Soon, she stopped having these strange thoughts. She was drawn to the sweet soup in front of her, took a small sip, and found a hint of bamboo fragrance in her mouth. The oranges and tea blended perfectly, and the taste was quite good.

She fell in love with it after just one bite; sweet soup is something that can make people happy.

The private room was quiet, and a woman next to her was drinking sweet soup and reading a book. It was a peaceful and serene atmosphere, which made her unable to resist opening a book and reading while drinking. She had completely forgotten that she was going to attend a book appreciation banquet tomorrow. Last night she had sworn that she would never read the book in advance, but now she had completely forgotten about it.

After finishing the sweet soup, she said that this trip was worthwhile.

Ye Yuwu didn't expect the drinks to sell so well. Among the five people who came to buy books, one would buy some to try. However, she only had two kinds of drinks. She planned to sell them for a while and if the results were good, she would decide to add some more.

At that moment, Huaping also brought Zhang Rouyan over. When Zhang Rouyan heard that Manager Ye was looking for her, she thought that her short story was no longer good, so she rushed over in a hurry.

After leaving the matters in front of the hall to Uncle Li and An Xing, Ye Yuwu found a room and chatted with her in detail. Zhang Rouyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, "Thank goodness it wasn't for this reason that they came to find me."

But the relief she had just felt was quickly replaced by a few words from Ye Yuwu, which made her anxious again.

"Well, Manager Ye, if I may be so bold as to ask, why did you choose me to be the manager of your book repair department? I've only copied books for you a few times, and I have no prior experience in this area, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish anything."

Are you worried about yourself, or about me?

Zhang Rouyan moved her red lips, but ultimately remained silent.

"Don't worry, I've thought it through. You're the best choice in my heart. I believe in you!"

"Manager Ye, but I am a woman." Zhang Rouyan lowered her eyes, nervously clutching her sleeves with both hands.

Because she was a woman, she was rejected many times when she tried to find work to support her family after her family fell on hard times.

"What's wrong with being a woman? You're no less capable than any other man, and my book repair department is just missing a talented woman like you! Don't worry, I'll have Huaping help you so you can get up to speed quickly. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get paid well, and if you do a good job, I'll give you a raise." Ye Yuwu knew that she had to support her younger siblings, and her family was already struggling financially.

"Thank you very much, Manager Ye." Zhang Rouyan looked at her gratefully, not knowing what to say, and could only keep saying thank you.

To be honest, if she hadn't met Manager Ye, who knows what would have happened to her now.

She still remembered the scene from that day: her younger sister suddenly developed a fever, but she had no money. Ye Yuwu, who happened to be passing by, saw this and paid for her.

Although Manager Ye was a woman just like her, she was very strong and resilient, making people want to get closer to her. She wanted to learn from Manager Ye and was determined not to let her down, and also to fight for women's honor.

Zhang Rouyan secretly made up her mind, while Ye Yuwu unknowingly won over people's hearts once again.

Ye Yuwu was unaware of what she was thinking. Seeing that she had agreed, she was quite happy. After a while, she called Huaping in.

Ye Yuwu led the two of them to a room on the second floor, which she planned to turn into a book repair department.

This room is close to the stairs, offering good privacy and isolating it from the noise downstairs. There is a wooden corridor right outside the door, and you can see the bookstore under the railing as soon as you open the door.

As soon as Ye Yuwu opened the door, she introduced to Zhang Rouyan and Huaping, "This will be where you work from now on. This is where you collect and revise manuscripts on weekdays. You can rest here. There are reclining chairs for taking a nap, and I will arrange snacks and pastries. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Manager Ye has everything you need, this is too complete!" Zhang Rouyan couldn't help but go over and touch the brand-new tables and chairs, which were obviously bought with money. Even the painted screen was the first time it had been brought into the room since the renovation.

"As long as we don't lack them, Rouyan and Huaping, I think the revision department will recruit women in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rouyan and Huaping, who were standing nearby, were stunned. No one had ever thought of such a thing before.

"Manager Ye..."

"This world is inherently unfair to women. Women with some talent can only be good wives and mothers. I want to change the status quo, even if my abilities are small and this is all I can do."

When she arrived in this dynasty, she witnessed firsthand the prison that confined women in this era; life was incredibly difficult.

She also knew that her strength was insufficient, and that the books and magazines she founded had only reached their current status with the support of these women. Since she was making money off women, she should also do something to change things for them.

"I'll post a job advertisement then, only for women. As for who to choose, Rouyan, that's up to you." Ye Yuwu winked at her.

"Thank you, Manager Ye." Thank you for giving me a chance, and thank you for giving other women a chance as well.

Zhang Rouyan was deeply moved by Ye Yuwu's shocking words.

If her family hadn't fallen on hard times, she might be married by now. That's nothing unusual, because that's how women were in that era.

The purpose of having women read more books was so that they could manage the household affairs after marriage. She liked reading and writing, but unfortunately, she could only write for herself.

She had previously submitted manuscripts to other bookstores, but as soon as she revealed that she was a woman, they would be rejected for various reasons, and gradually she had no choice but to accept it.

Her writings piled up at home, but no one appreciated them except herself.

If she hadn't seen the notice at Zhiyu Bookstore and met someone like Manager Ye, her writings would probably never have been seen by anyone in her life.

Ye Yuwu could tell what she was thinking from her expression. She just sighed and said, "Don't forget, I'm a woman too. This isn't about thanking me."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

A gust of wind blew through the sycamore leaves outside the house, opening the wooden window halfway. Green leaves drifted down onto the window frame. The sun was shining brightly, and the fresh scent of the trees wafted in with the aroma of street food, drifting into the window of a second-floor private room in a restaurant not far away.

The vermilion window was originally half-open, but a slender hand suddenly slammed it shut.

At this moment, the owner of this hand closed the wooden window, sat casually on the table, and snapped the folding fan shut.

"Those popular stories among women lately almost got me into serious trouble!" The speaker was none other than this nonchalant man.

He was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, with a high nose, thick eyebrows that were slightly raised in a rebellious manner, and a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes under slightly curled eyelashes, making him look cynical and irreverent.

"Are you talking about that serialized novel, 'The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with His Little Maid'?"
