After crying once, the crux of He's mother's depression seems to have been solved. She is no longer frowning like before, and there are more smiles on her face, especially when she is holding the little bean bag and teaching He Xiaoxin a lesson. The smile on his face is also particularly bright.
The smile on He Xiaoping's face became even brighter.
In the summer of 1984, Wang Zhong graduated from the Medical University. His medical skills were recognized by the hospital, but he did not choose to stay in Xiehe. Instead, he quietly returned home and bought two more shops next to his two shops in Beihai Park. A small two-story building opened a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
In fact, Wang Zhong has long understood that for those large-scale surgeries that require precision instruments, no matter how well he learns and performs them, they will not be of great use to him in the future.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a wise woman to make a meal without rice. If there is a serious illness or serious pain, and a major operation is required, and there are no corresponding medical equipment, even if he is more sophisticated in Western medicine, it will not be of much use.
On the contrary, minor illnesses, minor disasters, difficult diseases, common fevers and colds, gunshot wounds, massage and bone setting, injuries from falls, etc., are more suitable for his situation.
Wang Zhong didn't know where his next world would be. If the timeline were earlier, Wang Zhong would not be able to complete those large-scale surgeries that relied on high-tech precision instruments.
But when technology develops and medicine advances to a certain stage, there will be a large number of doctors who can perform this kind of surgery, and there is no need for him to do it himself.
After thinking about this, Wang Zhong devoted all his attention to traditional Chinese medicine.
Compared to Western medicine, which is simple and straightforward and cuts whatever is broken, Wang Zhong is particularly interested in Chinese medicine passed down from his ancestors. This is something worth learning for several lifetimes.
From "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" to "Thousands of Gold Prescriptions", Wang Zhong has read basically all the popular medical techniques available on the market several times.
When he was at Xiehe University, Wang Zhong was an intern in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and studied under several leading figures in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His talent was highly praised by several seniors, and Wang Zhong's hard work and persistence in Traditional Chinese Medicine won their trust. recognition.
After several years of internship, several people have taught Wang Zhong everything. The theory is easy, but the actual operation is not that simple.
For the same disease, in different people and in different environments, the treatment methods and drugs are slightly different. This involves the monarch, minister, left and assistant of traditional Chinese medicine, the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the harmony of the five internal organs, the meridians, qi and blood, etc. etc.
If this rich theoretical knowledge is to be turned into practice and become part of Wang Zhong's advancement in medical skills, it must be practiced countless times.
Not to mention these, Wang Zhong has been studying the four techniques of traditional Chinese medicine for a lifetime.
He opened a small medical clinic by himself. He didn't have to commute to get off work on time. Not only did Wang Zhong have free time, he also had more free time. The shop hired three people, one was responsible for consultation and prescribing medicines, and the other was responsible for purchasing and selling medicines and cashiering. , a cleaner, the division of labor is clear and reasonable.
Wang Zhong was in a good mood, and occasionally went to see a doctor. If there was any difficult or complicated disease that the doctor responsible for consultation couldn't solve, Wang Zhong would go there in person. If Wang Zhong couldn't solve it, he would go to Xiehe to consult the old masters.
Most of the time, Wang Zhong stayed at home to take care of his children. Sometimes he would take Xiaodou Bao to the clinic and use Chinese medicine to enlighten Xiao Dou Bao.
As for where good luck comes from, the business is becoming more and more stable. After listening to Wang Zhong's suggestion, he hired a professional manager to manage it. He Xiaoping, who retreated behind the scenes, also had some free time, as long as he checked the accounts regularly.
But He Xiaoping has a restless temper, and when she is free, she will find things to do in different ways.
Wang Chongjian really couldn't defeat her, so he simply helped her find something to do.
Reform and opening up is in full swing. As long as you are a little cautious, you can make a lot of money in any industry.
However, Wang Zhong was familiar with the real estate and publishing industries, so he let He Xiaoping make her own choice. The cost of real estate was too high, the competition was too great, and there were too many big crocodiles in it. He Xiaoping was afraid that she would be eaten without even leaving her bones. In addition, Wang Zhong and his friend Xiao Suizi were both writers, so He Xiaoping naturally chose the publishing industry.
The next step was simple. With the help of Wang Zhong, He Xiaoping spent hundreds of thousands on it, first made a magazine, with Wang Zhong as the main writer, and then opened it twice, adding some short stories, and first propped up the magazine. , to gain fame.
Having had the experience of being in the human world, Wang Zhong could just continue copying homework, but Wang Zhong didn't want to do that.
Seeing that her best friend was so motivated, Xiao Suizi naturally gave her full support.
However, Xiao Suizi's management skills are average and her writing skills are not bad. After all, she is a top student in the Literature Department of Yan'an University. When she was in the art troupe, she was also assigned to be a war correspondent and wrote a few articles. It was not a difficult task for her.
It's a pity that the content of the work and the magazine are not consistent. After all, what Wang Zhong is really good at is the readership market for martial arts and fairy tales that tend to be male, or the war and military.
What Xiao Suizi writes is either extremely beautiful, sad spring and autumn poems, or lingering and pathos love stories.
He Xiaoping was also greedy. Seeing that the two creative styles were very different, she discussed with Wang Zhong to publish two magazines at the same time. One of them was a martial arts mythology genre with Wang Zhong as the main character.
The other one is mainly based on scar literature and youth literature written by Xiao Suizi.
After all, the current market for scar literature is no better than the market for martial arts myths and novels.
If it were anyone else, He Xiaoping would definitely choose one. After all, you can't become fat by eating in one go, but Wang Zhong has confidence in himself, and his family is not short of money, so even if he loses money, it doesn't matter.
As long as He Xiaoping is happy with it, Wang Zhong will definitely have no problem with it. Anyway, she is lucky enough to have such a big cash cow.
If it's not enough for a big project like real estate, it might be enough to start a small magazine.
So He Xiaoping's magazine was set up in such a hurry.
There is an example of relying on one writer to support a newspaper and magazine in Xiangjiang. Wang Chong wrote quickly. In the early days of the magazine's establishment, he serialized nearly half of the pages.
But even so, He Xiaoping's magazine left Yanjing in just a few years and became famous throughout the country. In the field of martial arts and fairy tales, it is the most respected in the mainland. In terms of youth literature and scar literature, it is also famous throughout the country. The momentum of development is also extremely rapid, keeping pace with established magazines such as 'Youth Digest'.
As for He Xiaoping's restaurant, its development momentum was even more rapid. With Wang Zhong as a strategist, it was good luck to expand rapidly. It bought land and built buildings in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Yangcheng and other places. It was designed by Wang Zhong himself. A team of comrades who were engaged in decoration were involved in the construction work themselves. With the ultimate service and excellent dishes as the basis for competition, once it opened, it quickly became popular everywhere.
Really making money every day.
Time soon came to 1991.
This year, Wang Zhong was 36 years old, He Xiaoping was 32 years old, and Xiao Suizi was 35 years old.
After several years of writing, Xiao Suizi finally got what he wanted and wrote a popular book and held book signings across the country.
Qiongzhou Coconut City, the book signing event officially started at two o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Suizi always kept a smile on his face and interacted with readers and fans in a soft voice.
Half an hour later, the autograph session ended, and Xiao Suizi breathed a sigh of relief.
"tassel!"
A voice of surprise came from behind. Xiao Suizi was overjoyed when she heard the sound. As soon as she turned around, she saw a curly hair, a high-end lady's bag in her hand, and a sixty-seven girl in her other hand. A little boy who looks like 2 years old, the little boy is quite cute and fair.
"Shuwen!" Xiao Suizi also smiled and greeted the person coming.
"Why are you here? The autograph session is over."
"Isn't it half past two?"
"It's half past two, it's two o'clock."
"Look at my brain, I can remember everything wrong." Hao Shuwen looked remorseful.
"Is this your son? Why is he so old?" Looking at the little boy held by Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi was really surprised.
"Doudou, call someone quickly!" Hao Shuwen lowered her head and said to the little boy.
The little boy looked at Xiao Suizi and shouted "Auntie!"
"Doudou is so good! He's so good-looking, and..." Before Xiao Suizi could finish her words, she was interrupted by a louder and more excited shout.
"Godmother!"
Xiao Suizi turned around and saw a little boy with a tiger-like head running towards her with excitement on his face.
Xiao Suizi hurriedly bent her knees slightly, fearing that she would be knocked down by this kid.
"Godmother! You are so awesome, you have so many fans!"
The little boy was over 1 meter tall, and his body looked quite strong, but his strength was really scary. Even though he was well prepared, Xiao Suizi was still hit and staggered, taking two steps back.
"You brat, you're neither serious nor serious!" Xiao Suizi raised her hand and grabbed the little guy's ears, saying with a bit of anger, "Why are you still so reckless!"
“It hurts, it hurts~~~”
"Godmother, let go, let go quickly, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong!"
The little boy with a tiger-like head showed his teeth and screamed in pain, and kept begging for mercy.
"Hmph!" Xiao Suizi snorted and let go of the ear he was holding.
"Godmother, I came here to congratulate you with good intentions, how could you do this!" The little boy complained with a flat mouth and an aggrieved look on his face.
"Congratulations." Xiao Suizi glared at him: "You stinky boy, you are neither serious nor serious. I didn't see the high heels my godmother wore today. I can't stand such a bump from you!"
Only then did the little boy notice that Xiao Suizi was wearing a pair of high heels. Fortunately, Xiao Suizi had been prepared earlier, otherwise he would have been knocked down by this kid.
"Isn't this too exciting?" The little guy's tone was not as full of resentment as before.
"I think you shouldn't be called Xiao Dou Bao, but Xiao Man Niu. You run rampant all day long." The little guy is none other than Xiao Dou Bao, the godson of Xiao Sui Zi.
"Why are you the only one, where are your parents?" Xiao Suizi looked behind him, but did not see Wang Zhong or He Xiaoping.
"I don't know where my mother is, and my father definitely doesn't know where he can read and take a rest!" Xiaodoubao said angrily.
"Huh!"
"I seem to hear someone arranging my father!" A playful voice suddenly rang.
The expression on Xiaodoubao's face suddenly froze, as if he had pressed the pause button, and then quickly swelled into a bitter face. He turned around with a humble smile, ran to the person's side, held her hand, and acted coquettishly. .
"Aunt! My good aunt!"
I saw a girl who was almost the same size as a little boy, with two braids hanging on both sides of her shoulders and two small pink flowers in her hair. She was wearing a lotus-colored dress and had her hands behind her back, pretending to be stern. He walked towards them seriously.
Xiaodoubao was grabbing her arm and pleading.
The little girl is none other than He Xiaoping's little sister, Xiaodou Bao's aunt, He Xiaoxin, who is three years older than him.
"Okay, okay!" He Xiaoxin broke away from Xiaodoubao's hand and said angrily: "It's outrageous. Can you be a little more manly? Forget it this time. If there is another time, I will definitely tell my brother-in-law."
Seeing He Xiaoxin pretending to be a tiger, Xiao Suizi couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Auntie is so kind, I promise there will be no next time!" Xiaodou Bao promised again and again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He Xiaorui rolled his eyes at him and stopped talking to him.
"Sister Suizi, congratulations!" He Xiaoxin walked up to Xiao Suizi, cupped her hands, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Xin!" Seeing the little girl, Xiao Suizi was a little surprised, but more of a surprise: "Why are you here too? Didn't you say a few days ago that Coconut City is too far away and you won't come?"
"I have a surprise for you!"
The little girl said happily, then she came close to Xiao Suizi and whispered: "Actually, it was the second brother-in-law who dragged us here!" After saying that, she glanced around warily: "Don't say it was me who said that. .”
Seeing her ghostly appearance, Xiao Suizi couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Your sister Suizi has the tightest mouth in the world."
A smile suddenly appeared on He Xiaoxin's face: "Sister Suizi! You are so awesome!"
Then he gave a thumbs up and looked at Xiao Suizi with admiration: "I will become a great writer like you in the future!"
Xiao Suizi laughed at himself when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I am not a great writer, your second brother-in-law is the real great writer."
"What's so good about the fights and killings written by the second brother-in-law!" He Xiaoxin shook his head and said, "Sister Suizi, your writing is more beautiful."
"I think Dad's writing is good!" Xiaodoubao next to him was a little unconvinced and said something for his father, "When I grow up, I want to be Liu Wudi! The invincible fighter in the world."
"Hahaha!" He said and made a few fists and kicks.
"Come on, with your three-legged cat skills, you are still invincible!" He Xiaoxin looked disdainful: "You can't even beat me, a girl."
"Whatever you can't beat, I'll leave it to you!" Xiaodou Bao was unconvinced: "Dad said, I'm a man and I can't be like a woman!"
"Hmm~~~What did you say?" He Xiaoxin frowned, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Xiaodou Bao. ,
Even though Xiaodou Bao is about the same size as He Xiaoxin, he is also stronger than He Xiaoxin. He has been exercising since he was five years old and has a very strong physique. However, in front of He Xiaoxin, he still looks like a little chicken. He Xiaoxin glared at him slightly. , Xiaodoubao immediately became scared.
He quickly surrendered and hid aside.
"Suizi! They are..." Hao Shuwen's voice sounded.
"Oh!" Xiao Suizi finally realized that Hao Shuwen and her son were still nearby. She quickly slapped her forehead and said with an annoyed look on her face: "Look at my memory. I was knocked unconscious by this kid."
"This is Xiaoping and Liu Feng's son Liu Duan. He is seven and a half years old this year. His nickname is Xiaodou Bao. The nickname I gave him is very similar to your Doudou's nickname!"
"This is Xiaoping's sister He Xiaoxin! She is ten years old this year."
"Xiao Xin, Xiao Dou Bao, this is Hao Shuwen, my comrade in the art troupe, and also the comrade of Xiao Dou Bao's parents! Call someone quickly!"
"Hello Aunt Hao (sister)!" the two of them shouted in unison.
Hao Shuwen's face changed slightly, with a smile on her face: "Hello!"
"Xiaoxin looks so good-looking!" Hao Shuwen said with a smile.
"Sister is also very beautiful." He Xiaoxin's little mouth was as sweet as honey.
"Suizi!" Suddenly Xiao Suizi's editor came over.
"Xiaodoubao? Xiaoxin? Why are you here?"
"Aunt Su!" Xiao Suizi's editor-in-chief is Su Chang. She was quite surprised to see the two little ones: "Didn't Mr. He say he didn't bring you here?"
"We came here with daddy!" Xiaodou Bao said.
"Mr. Liu is here too?" Su Chang's voice was full of surprise and joy. She was one of Wang Zhong's loyal readers and fans.
He Xiaoxin asked: "Aunt Su, where is my second sister? Why didn't we see her at the scene just now?"
"Hi!" Su Chang said with a smile: "I'm just a part-time worker. Your second sister is my big boss. She won't report her whereabouts to me. I don't know where to go!"
"Oh!" The two little ones were a little disappointed. They came here suddenly this time just to give Xiao Suizi and He Xiaoping a surprise.
Now Xiao Suizi has seen him, but He Xiaoping has been looking for him for a long time, but he didn't even see him, and he doesn't know where he is.
"Don't Sui Zi have your mother's phone number? Just ask Sui Zi to call your mother later!" Su Chang looked at Xiaodou Bao's pouty look and said with a smile, making suggestions.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Xiaodoubao immediately said with a look of surprise on his face. He immediately went over to take Xiao Suizi's hand, shook it and started to coquettishly say: "Aunt Suizi~~~"
"Okay, okay! I'll call your mother later, okay!" Xiao Suizi said softly with a smile.
"Aunt Suizi is the best!" Xiaodou Bao immediately jumped up happily.
"Thank you Aunt Suizi, thank you Sister Su!" He Xiaoxin said to the two of them very well with a smile on his face.
"Why are you being polite to me?" For a ten-year-old girl to call her sister, especially for a woman like Su Chang who is almost forty years old, it feels comfortable to be called a clear mind and body.
"By the way, Sui Zi, there are some things at the scene that I need you to go over and handle in person. I'll go over and check out the situation first. If you're done here, remember to go there!" Su Chang came here specifically to see Xiao Sui Zi. , it is natural to put business first.
"Okay, Sister Su, I understand. You go first, I'll be there soon." Xiao Suizi nodded seriously.
"It should be nothing serious, don't worry."
"Xiaodoubao, Xiaoxin, sister, let's go first!" Su Chang waved goodbye to the two of them.
The two little ones also waved goodbye to her obediently.
"Sister Suizi, if you have something to do, go and get busy first. I'll take Xiaodou Bao to find your brother-in-law." He Xiaoxin immediately said obediently, and Xiaodou Bao also stood obediently behind He Xiaoxin and said: "Aunt Suizi, you go and get busy first. , we can take care of ourselves.”
Although Xiao Suizi wanted to feel relieved, there were so many people present. He Xiaoxin and Xiaodoubao were ten years old and seven years old. How could she feel relieved?
"The same goes for your brother-in-law. Why don't you worry about you and Xiaodou Bao running around blindly?"
"Sister Suizi, we didn't run around. It was the second brother-in-law who asked us to come here to find you." He Xiaoxin said, "The second brother-in-law said he was waiting for us in the restaurant next to it. I know where it is." He Xiaoxin pointed to the restaurant next to the hotel.
The restaurant was not far away, just next door. A few steps away, Xiao Suizi glanced out and happened to see Wang Zhong sitting by the window, facing the direction of the hotel. Wang Zhong happened to be looking here and waving at her. beckoned.
Okay, I worry about it for nothing, my dad is always watching.
"Suizi, if something happens to you, how about I take them there?" Seeing that Xiao Suizi didn't speak, Hao Shuwen thought she was in trouble, so she took the initiative to ask.
"Uh..." Xiao Suizi hesitated.
Hao Shuwen thought she was afraid of bothering her, so she quickly said: "Hey, you're still polite to me! Liu Feng and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we just caught up with each other."
"Okay! I'll trouble you then!" Xiao Suizi nodded.
"Okay, okay, just leave it to me. Go and get started!" Hao Shuwen urged.
"Then you go sit next door for a while. I'll be back as soon as I'm done here." Xiao Suizi turned to look at the two little ones, and her expression changed: "Xiao Xin, Xiao Bean Bao! You follow Aunt Hao, she I'll take you there to look for me! Don't run around, do you hear me?"
"Sister (Aunt) Suiko, don't worry, we won't run around!"
When Xiao Suizi looked at the restaurant opposite just now, Hao Shuwen also looked over and happened to see Wang Zhong sitting by the window.
With her three children in tow, Hao Shuwen walked out of the hotel and headed straight to the restaurant next to her.
Wang Zhong was sitting in a well-lit position next to the window, wearing a white shirt and holding a book in his hand. He watched them coming and waved to them several times.
We haven't seen him for more than ten years. Wang Zhong's complexion is much paler than when he was in the art troupe. His whole body is clean and tidy. Looking from a distance, he exudes an air of elegance.
"Dad! Dad!" As soon as Xiaodoubao saw Wang Zhong, he couldn't wait to run over.
He Xiaoxin followed closely behind.
Hao Shuwen stood four or five meters behind Wang Zhong, looking at Wang Zhong with a smile on his face. The sunlight was shining through the window. She looked at Wang Zhong, who had an elegant temperament. At this moment, he was directly bathed in the warm sunshine. His facial features The outline of the edges and corners became more and more distinct, and suddenly I felt that the familiar person in front of me suddenly seemed strange.
"Why, your Aunt Suizi's autograph session is over?" Wang Zhong asked Xiao Doubao opposite him with a gentle smile.
"It's been over for a while!"
"Dad, there are many people queuing up to buy Aunt Suiko's book!" Xiaodoubao was very excited as if he was offering a treasure.
"Then your Aunt Suizi will make a lot of money this time!"
"Brother-in-law!" He Xiaoxin walked to Wang Zhong with a smile, pulled his hand, and pointed in the direction of Hao Shuwen: "Look who that is?"
Wang Zhong had already seen Hao Shuwen. He stood up and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Hao Shuwen!"
"Liu Feng!" Hao Shuwen pulled her son forward and shook hands with Wang Zhong.
"long time no see!"
The two hands separated as soon as they touched. Wang Zhong pointed his hand towards the seat opposite and said: "Sit down, it must be more than ten years!"
Hao Shuwen pushed the child inside and asked him and Xiaodou Bao He Xiaoxin to stand at the table. There were many cakes and desserts on the table.
"Thirteen years, almost fourteen years." Hao Shuwen said.
Wang Zhong is from the art troupe who left in the summer of 1978. It is now the winter of 1991.
"Time flies!"
Wang Zhong looked at the little boy next to Hao Shuwen: "Your and Chen Can's child?"
"Did Sui Zi tell you?" Hao Shuwen asked.
"Xiao Doubao, my son, this is Xiao Xin, Xiao Ping's sister!" Wang Zhong introduced.
"Suizi has already introduced me!" Hao Shuwen said.
"Have you called anyone?" Wang Zhong looked at the two children.
"Screaming!" Hao Shuwen said with a smile: "They are both very well-behaved, much better than my Doudou."
Then she taught her son: "This is your Uncle Liu Feng, why don't you call someone quickly!"
"Uncle Liu Feng!" Doudou shouted.
"How good!" Wang Zhong smiled and pushed several plates of cakes in front of the children: "Hurry up and eat! You're welcome."
"Thank you Uncle Liu Feng."
With the pastries, the attention of several children was immediately attracted.
Wang Zhong and Hao Shuwen just started to reminisce about the past.
"By the way, why are you, Doudou, and Chen Can the only ones?"
"He, he is obsessed with money now! He only cares about making money all day long, how can he have time to take care of us two! Doudou and I finally came to Qiongzhou to see him, and he had a meal with us , I can’t wait to run to Sanya!”
"Take the land again!"
At first glance, these words sounded like complaints, but upon closer inspection, Hao Shuwen's proud tone was unabashed. It seemed like she was complaining, but she was actually showing off.
"With the opening up of the country's commercial housing policy, the real estate industry will have a period of growth in the next period. Chen Can will have a good eye and know how to make money." Wang Zhongdao.
"Everyone is obsessed with money!" Hao Shuwen said with a smile on her face: "I know how to make money every day, and my children don't care."
"For men, it's normal to be busy with your career outside." Wang Zhong said.
Hao Shuwen was very satisfied with Wang Zhong's answer, "By the way, I heard from Suizi that you were admitted to the Medical University and went to work at Union Hospital. I haven't congratulated you yet!"
"What Concord? That happened many years ago. When I graduated in 1984, I left Concord!" Wang Zhong waved his hand and said.
"Leaved Xiehe?" Hao Shuwen was a little surprised: "What's going on with you? I remember Suizi said you had a good time in Xiehe, didn't you?"
Wang Zhong said calmly: "It's my own fault. I don't like to be restrained. Now I have opened a small clinic near my home to treat headaches and fever for the neighbors."
Hao Shuwen was even a little surprised: "Small clinic?"
One is the famous Yanjing Union Medical College Hospital, and the other is an unknown small clinic. With this difference, even a fool knows how to choose, but Wang Zhong...
Hao Shuwen really couldn't understand: "You are a top student at a medical university, why don't you stay in a big hospital like Union Medical College? Open a small clinic by yourself?"
Wang Zhong explained: "Xiaoping's work is too busy. One of the couple must sacrifice. Our family is very democratic. Xiaoping likes to work outside, so let her work. Besides, I can make money. It’s not as good as her, so I open a small clinic and hire two people to work. I can still have time to take care of the children, so Xiaoping can work outside without worries. It’s the best of both worlds. What a good thing.”
Hao Shuwen remembered what Xiao Suizi's editor-in-chief had just said about Mr. He, and immediately couldn't help but ask: "What is Xiaoping doing now?"
"It's nothing. Even if we open several chain restaurants and hot pot restaurants in Yanjing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Yangcheng, and Shancheng, they are very busy."
"Oh?" Hao Shuwen was quite surprised: "There are so many places! What are the names of your restaurants and hot pot restaurants? When I have a chance, I will call Chen Can to cheer you up." Hao Shuwen said.
"I know, I know!" Before Wang Zhong could say anything, Xiaodou Bao, who had just spoken to Hao Shuwen's son Doudou, couldn't wait to answer: "Good luck to the restaurant, New Century Hot Pot Restaurant."
"New Century Hot Pot Restaurant?" Hao Shuwen was stunned: "Is it the one advertised on TV every day?"
"Xiaoping seemed to have told me some time ago that she had spent money to buy advertising time on TV, and she even let us watch it!"
Wang Zhong said: "But I don't like watching TV, so I didn't pay attention."
"New Century Hot Pot Restaurant!" Doudou's eyes suddenly lit up while he was playing with Xiao Doubao: "Brother, is the New Century Hot Pot Restaurant opened by your family?"
"Yes!" Xiaodoubao nodded.
"Then you can eat hot pot every day?" Doudou said enviously.
Xiaodou Bao raised his head with pride: "That's for sure!"
"Wow!" Doudou immediately turned around and tugged on Hao Shuwen's pants: "Mom, I also want to eat hot pot every day."
Hao Shuwen had a stern look on her face. The New Century Hot Pot Restaurant just emerged in the past few years. It specializes in Sichuan-style hot pot. It was first opened in Shancheng. It has also introduced a variety of hot pot flavors such as mandarin duck, mushroom soup, and tomato. Every day in the center There was a lot of advertising on the set, and business was extremely booming. She and Chen Can took Hao Chaozi there many times.
Doudou especially likes it, and the hotpot mutton in the copper stove is Doudou's favorite.
They kept clamoring for Hao Shuwen to take him there every three days.
"I just heard what Suizi's editor said about Mr. He? Couldn't he also be talking about Xiaoping?"
"You mean Su Chang, she is Sui Zi's editor," Wang Zhong said.
"I just heard your little beanbag call her Aunt Su!" Hao Shuwen said.
"Then it's Su Chang who's right."
"Speaking of this, the reason is still with me. After I retired from the army, I didn't have any other hobbies. When I was free, I just wanted to write something and put the thoughts in my mind on paper. Later, when I wrote more, Xiaoping persuaded me to try to send it to the magazine. If I was selected, my family would have an extra income. If I was not selected, it would not be a big deal. It could only be affected by a stamp. , I unexpectedly got selected and earned a lot of royalties.
Later, when Xiaoping saw that my writing was pretty good, and the business in her family restaurant was also good, and she had some spare money, she just started a magazine of her own, and she also took Sui Zi over and became a columnist. In the past few years, she has become a columnist. I set up a publishing house and organized book signings, fan meetings, etc. for those books that sold well and were popular, with a lot of bells and whistles. "
"So you mean Xiaoping is Suizi's boss now?" Hao Shuwen swallowed, her eyes trying to hide the shock and disbelief.
Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "Suizi also has shares in the publishing house, and there are quite a few. They are considered a cooperative relationship."
"What kind of partnership?" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Xiao Suizi's voice came from the door.
"You said you are the owner of the publishing house, you hold shares, and you have a cooperative relationship with Xiaoping." Wang Chong said with a smile.
Xiao Suizi smiled and rolled her eyes at Wang Zhong: "What the hell, boss, I'm not working for you two. Your books are the best-selling ones in our publishing house all year round."
Xiao Suizi walked straight to the reserved seat at the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Hao Shuwen couldn't keep up with the two people's thoughts. She looked at Wang Zhong, then at Xiao Suizi, and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean? Why didn't I understand?"
Xiao Suizi said with a smile: "What don't you understand? The person sitting opposite you now made our magazine famous with the help of two movies. It is famous all over the country, has countless fans, and has sold as many as three copies." Qingping, a famous writer with more than one million dollars!
He created many genres such as fairy tales, martial arts, and fantasy. Now, two-thirds of the books our publishing house prints every year are his. "
"Liu Feng is Qingping?" Hao Shuwen was stunned. It wasn't that she was incompetent, but the news was too shocking.
The person who carries the cauldron in the post-wuxia era, the supplementary continuation of the Xianxia school, and the founder of the Chinese martial arts school.
Although Hao Shuwen didn't care much about it, there was always news about Wang Zhong in the newspapers. However, Wang Zhong never revealed his real name, so not many people knew that Qingping was Wang Zhong.
Moreover, Hao Shuwen's husband Chen Can is also a fan of Qing Ping's books. On Chen Can's bookshelf, Chen Can has bought every copy of Qing Ping's books since her debut.
Xiao Suizi said with a smile: "If he holds a book signing, the scale will be beyond what a small show like me can do! I'm afraid not every venue will be full."
"If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. Don't praise me too highly. I just want to write mine with peace of mind." Wang Zhong glared at Xiao Suizi.
"Don't try to trick me! Don't even think about the autograph session!"
