Of course Li Yong knew that Zhong Xiaoqin was worried that Gu Jia would find out, so she had not told the Gu family until now.
In fact, Li Yong just mentioned it like this. Of course it was impossible for Zhong Xiaoqin to really live there, and it was indeed inappropriate to let Gu Jia know about it now.
"How about you change your job? Find one nearby, or work at home?"
"Ah?" Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment when she heard what Li Yong said. Then she lowered her head and thought about it. She was really thinking about the feasibility of this.
In fact, even if Li Yong didn't mention it, she would have already had this idea.
She has never liked this job. The salary is not high and there are many things to do. Moreover, the work does not distinguish between men and women, so she will not receive any preferential treatment just because she is a woman.
For example, she had to discuss relocation with several shops these days. She talked angrily, but no one paid any attention to her.
She feels tired now, mostly because of this reason.
And Manager Xu, whom she has always respected, didn't expect that he did one thing in front of her and did another behind her back.
Among the colleagues in the department, there are also old ladies like Sister Li who always want to take advantage of her whenever they have nothing to do. Because she is not good at refusing, Zhong Xiaoqin often has to carry out other people's workload together.
In fact, she has always endured this kind of working environment, but people are like springs. No matter how endured or pressed, there will always be a day when they will rebound. And the harder they are pressed, the stronger the rebound will be.
The problem is that Zhong Xiaoqin doesn't know what she can do. It's not that she hasn't thought about changing her job before. Chen Yu once suggested that she find another job. But Zhong Xiaoqin got used to it and didn't want to move around casually.
She is not the kind of person who has the courage to start a new business. When she goes to a new company, a new department, and faces new human relations, who knows whether she will be better than she is now.
If it's not better, what's the point of changing jobs, just to be closer to home?
"Li Yong, I feel useless and I don't know what I can do..."
Li Yong smiled, "Of course everyone has his own value in this world, and of course you have your own value, and I am not the only one who can see your value."
After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "By the way, you haven't been writing. Have you ever thought about publishing it, or even adapting it into a film and television series? By selling the copyright, you can become a rich little woman, and you won't have to go out to find a job in the future. , just write something at home every day."
Zhong Xiaoqin was fascinated by what he said, and then immediately returned to reality, shook her head and said: "I don't know how well I wrote, but there has never been good feedback. I can only treat it as a normal hobby now... …”
If she relied on this, she would starve to death after so many years.
Many artists were poor during their lifetimes, but their works become increasingly valuable after their death.
If she doesn't want to be that kind of person, she might not be able to become an artist.
Li Yong said: "How will you know if you don't try it? Otherwise, I will help you publish it, and then find someone to adapt it and invest in making it into a film and television series. If you are recognized by then, it will be equivalent to recognizing you."
Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head and said, "It's better not to trouble you anymore. It will cost you money instead."
If her work wasn't even worthy of being picked up by the editor, then no one would probably read the adaptation. If she lost money and still got scolded, she couldn't let Li Yong be taken advantage of.
Li Yong doesn't mind, she does.
Seeing what Li Yong was going to say, she hurriedly interrupted: "Li Yong, I know you are good to me, but I don't want to feel pressure. So we can just stay as we are now, okay? My current job is also I had a lot of fun doing it..."
Are you really happy?
Li Yong did not expose her. He thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I know some people from the publishing house. I can show yours to them. They must be the ones who know the value best. If there is With their affirmation, do you feel more confident?”
Zhong Xiaoqin looked at him suspiciously and said, "You won't tell them in advance and then let them say good things about me in person, right?"
The implication is that I agree with this, but I am afraid that Li Yong is "going through curves to save the country."
Li Yong laughed and said: "Why should I bother? In this case, I won't participate or help you contact me, so I will give you the contact information and let you contact their editors, talk to them, and see them From my perspective, this is okay, right?"
Zhong Xiaoqin actually still has some doubts, but she really wants to get recognition in this regard, at least to prove that her love for so many years is not empty talk.
And the thought of being able to wander in the private world of creation made her more tired of work, and she was even more eager to succeed in it.
It's just that she has never had any successful experience, so she can't help but worry about gains and losses. She looked at Li Yong worriedly and said, "Can I really do it?"
"I told you to just give it a try. Don't you even have the courage to try and fail?"
"Of course not...then, okay!"
When Li Yong saw her nodding, he smiled again and said, "Then I'll give you the phone number, and you can contact her yourself."
Zhong Xiaoqin memorized the number, and then "warned" Li Yong: "Don't interfere, I want to see what my real strength is."
Li Yong looked at the ruthless way she pursed her lips and clenched her fists, but couldn't help but smile and pounce on her: "You're so cute!"
"Ah, don't...um..."
A night without words...
Perhaps it was the driving force of the dream that Zhong Xiaoqin took time out during work breaks the next day to contact the editor of the publishing house and introduce herself and her own.
Of course she would not take the initiative to mention Li Yong, and the female editor didn't seem to be aware of her relationship with Li Yong. She just treated her very normally and even a little coldly, asking her to send some manuscripts to her mailbox first, and she would find them. Give her some time to review it and then give her a reply.
Zhong Xiaoqin was a little worried, but thinking that it was the person introduced by Li Yong, there shouldn't be any problem. If there was a problem, wouldn't it be Li Yong.
Although she was not very willing to trouble Li Yong with everything, when she really encountered difficulties, she could only rely on him.
And if the other party really covets her, it will actually confirm the value of her work.
So she sent the first 10,000 words. After a while, she thought that the beginning of her story was not very impressive, and the 10,000 words alone might not make much sense, so she sent another 10,000 words. .
What followed was a long wait. Because she was concerned about this matter, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't even have the intention to work. From time to time, she would think of checking her mailbox to see if there was any new news.
But apart from work messages and spam messages, there was never a reply from there.
When she went back in the evening, she endured it again and again, but still couldn't bear to ask Li Yong, seeing that he just didn't know what was going on.
Li Yong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and reassured: "You must be too impatient. You don't know how many messages they receive in their mailbox in a day for editors like them, especially with this kind of work account.
"If you refuse to report my name, then the editor will treat you equally. It will take at least two or three days before I can browse your message. How can I wait for a reply now? Let's wait two or three days before reading it."
"What if there is still no reply?"
Li Yong thought for a while and said, "It's okay. I'll ask again after that time. Don't you just want to know if your work will work? Isn't this just a good way to verify it?"
Hearing what Li Yong said, Zhong Xiaoqin nodded and could only accept this fact helplessly.
