After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

The results of it?

After marriage, all the sweetness of the past was soaked in the mundane details of life, turning into a hodgepodge that was too good to throw away, but left with a mixed taste.

I never imagined that Zhou Jing, who usually seems so cheerful, had so many heartbreaking stories to tell.

It really is true that every family has its own problems.

Lin Yuyao and Liu Yihuan comforted her and told her to relax.

I pick up my child when it's time to pick her up, and we sit in the bookstore with a table nearby so she can do her homework without interruption.

When it was time to leave work, the mother and daughter went home together.

Anyway, it's not like the old lady lives with us, so let's just pretend she doesn't exist.

Although they don't live in the same apartment, they actually live in the same building, and even in the same unit.

There's only one layer in between.

The old lady and her eldest son lived on the first floor, while she and her daughter lived on the third floor.

When people bump into her downstairs, they act like they don't see her and don't say a word to her for months.

It's rare to see someone so heartless, living so close to you.

……

The first quarter sales report for Lin Yuyao's book is out. It wasn't a huge hit, but it wasn't bad either.

Song Qin said that as a new author, achieving this sales volume is quite good.

She took a break from her shift to negotiate the price of the second book. As soon as she got off the bus, she saw Song Qin standing by the platform.

Lin Yuyao was flattered and surprised. "Sister Qin, you're here to meet me?"

“Yes, come here.” She beckoned to her, mysteriously.

Lin Yuyao's expression turned solemn. "Sister Qin, what's wrong?"

Song Qin pulled her aside and whispered to her, "When you're negotiating the price for this book later, remember not to agree to a buyout. A buyout is a fire sale. You should negotiate a profit-sharing arrangement to ensure maximum profit, even if it means slower payment. You're not in a rush to get the money right now, are you?"

Lin Yuyao knew, of course, that a buyout was a bargain. She had only done it because she needed the money urgently, and since the first book was also intended to open up the market, she naturally wanted the publisher to make more money.

She just didn't expect Song Qin to tell her such a thing.

Song Qin represents the interests of the publishing house, no wonder I waited for her here and secretly told her these things.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Thank you, Sister Qin."

Song Qin smiled, "Why are you being so polite? I also have my own selfish motives. I want to cooperate with you long-term, so of course I want to fight for your interests. However, since it is the publishing house that pays my salary, there are some things I can't say."

"I understand."

The price was negotiated by their leader, a middle-aged man with a large belly, wearing glasses, and with a serious expression.

He embodies both seriousness and humor.

After half an hour of negotiation, the royalty was finally settled at 10%.

Once the price was agreed upon, Song Qin handed over the relevant procedures to her.

After he left, Song Qin whispered to her, "Getting 10% is pretty good. Here, it's rare for new authors to sign royalty-sharing contracts. Even if they do, getting 8% is already good. Yuyao, our leader must think highly of you."

Lin Yuyao said with a smile, "I also want to thank Sister Qin for speaking up for me earlier."

Song Qin smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll have them make the contract."

The contracts are all prepared in advance; you just need to fill in the price, date, etc., in the blank spaces.

When signing, Song Qin looked at the pen in Lin Yuyao's hand in surprise.

"My God, you're willing to buy this?"

Ok?

Lin Yuyao looked at the pen in her hand. "What's wrong?"

"This is ridiculously expensive. I wanted to buy it, but I couldn't bear to spend the money, and I was too lazy to wait for it to arrive. Well, of course, the main reason was that I couldn't bear to spend the money."

what?

"Is this expensive?"

Song Qin: "Don't you know? Where did you come from?"

"Someone gave it to me."

Song Qin: “…”

He said it didn't cost any money; his company gave it to him for free.

"What? Tell me quickly, what kind of company is so extravagant? A single pen costs several months of my salary."

Lin Yuyao: "..." Is it worth several months' salary?

She asked hesitantly, "Is it really that expensive?"

"Of course, look at what brand this is."

What brand?

She didn't recognize any of the brands.

"Maybe... they took the wrong one. I'll ask them another day."

After signing the contract, Lin Yuyao went back, looking at the fountain pen the whole way.

It felt quite heavy in my hand, and it definitely felt different from the ones she bought on the street.

Moreover, the writing is indeed very smooth and easy to use.

But if it's worth several months' salary, that's too extravagant.

By the way, judging from what Sister Qin said, it must really be a luxury item among fountain pens.

Fu Huaiyi actually gave her such an expensive fountain pen.

Ugh!

She was so scared that she didn't dare use it anymore. She took some scraps of cloth and sewed a pretty pencil case, carefully putting the pencil case inside.

Thinking to himself, he would return the pen to Fu Huaiyi when he met him someday.

They waited and waited, but didn't see him for a long time. Instead, Lu Jiangting appeared.

This is really bad luck.

"Yuyao, wait a minute."

Lin Yuyao had just gotten off work when Lu Jiangting harassed her on her way home.

Lin Yuyao was no longer afraid of him and forcefully shook off his outstretched arm. "What are you doing? You dare to lay a hand on me in the street? Don't force me to send you to the police station."

Her voice was quite loud, and Lu Jiangting, fearing it would attract the attention of passersby, dared not approach her any further.

I followed him at a distance of just a few steps, neither too close nor too far.

"Yuyao, I got paid today."

Ok?

What has it got to do with me?

"Congratulations! You can buy some good food for Fang Qing and her son again."

“My salary has nothing to do with them; it’s our money. Yuyao, let me take you to buy some clothes.”

Lin Yuyao couldn't help but laugh. She had dreamed of hearing these words in her past life, and now she was hearing them.

So he knew all along that his salary had nothing to do with Fang Qing and her son.

So he knew that his salary should be considered marital property.

Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry you didn't have what I needed when I needed it, but I don't need any clothes now."

She originally only had two sets of clothes, but after she got the money, she bought two more sets, so now she has four sets of clothes, including a beautiful dress.

Hearing her say that, Lu Jiangting felt quite guilty.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for being incompetent. Yuyao, I'll buy you a set of clothes, and you can return what Fu Huaiyi bought to him."

"Don't worry, I already paid him back for that outfit."

Lu Jiangting was stunned. "Really? That's great, Yuyao. I knew you and him weren't anything, you only care about me."

Good heavens, he's still trying to make himself look good.

Lin Yuyao stopped, turned to look at Lu Jiangting and said, "Go to Fang Qing's house by taking the left road. Don't follow me anymore, understand?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"I'm here to find you."

"If you really feel sorry for me, then don't come looking for me. If you dare to harass me again, I'll go find your old Wang."

Of course, Old Wang wasn't that easy to find; she couldn't even get in. That was just to scare him.

She wouldn't actually do that unless absolutely necessary.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"Jiang Ting, Yu Yao?"

Fang Qing has arrived.
