Zhou Yan was very disappointed when she realized that she could not trick Su

Wen into becoming her daughter-in-law. She decided to s.h.i.+ft her focus to Su Wen’s younger sisters. However, she realized that it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring it up again so soon, so she thought she would wait until they had gotten to know each other.

Hence, she persuaded Su Wen to pay attention to the villains around her and deal with the matter first. At the very least, she should leave evidence to prevent others from slandering her in the future. After reminding her for a long time, she got into the car and left.

The two of them felt like old friends at first sight and had a good impression of each other.

Zhou Yan didn’t even go home but headed straight to the publis.h.i.+ng house in the Province. When she entered the office, the chief accountant, Wei Xin, was already impatiently waiting. When she saw her enter, she quickly went up to her. “How is it? How did it go?”

Now, the entire publis.h.i.+ng house was anxiously waiting for the sc.u.mbag’s handbook to save them! 10,000 copies of the book had been printed, but there was a flaw in the original author.

Speaking of which, they had been careless. In their desperate bid before the closure, they hadn’t followed the proper procedures, and it had nearly been a catastrophe.

If the negotiations didn’t go well, the loss of these 10,000 books would be tremendous.

However, when Wei Xin thought of the 10,000 yuan ma.n.u.script fee, she couldn’t even muster the energy to be angry anymore.

“Sigh! Was it really that easy to negotiate with a person who keeps making outrageous demands for a ten thousand yuan ma.n.u.script fee?” Wei Xin was so anxious that the corners of her mouth were bubbling. She started complaining without waiting for Zhou Yan to speak.

“I’m not holding out much hope now. After all, it was I who recommended this ma.n.u.script, and I have a responsibility in this too. Blame me! Although my conditions aren’t as good as yours, when it’s time to take responsibility, I, Wei Xin, don’t shy away.”

Then, she thought of something and quickly added, “But let’s make a deal. You can’t take the opportunity to ask my daughter to be your daughter-in-law. I know Xiaoxiao is very outstanding and handsome. But my daughter is afraid of him! You don’t know this, she refused to go to your house to pay her New Year’s greetings last year.”

Wei Xin had reason to suspect that Xu Xiaoxiao might have made advances towards her daughter when there were no adults around. Otherwise, why would her daughter be so scared?

Zhou Yan’s face darkened when she heard that. She threw her bag at Wei Xin and scolded with a smile, “Go, go, go… No matter how much I despise my son, I won’t allow you to mock him like this. In front of me, at least leave me some face!”

She thought, “She had gone overboard! What was wrong with my Xiaoxiao? Wasn’t it just that he had a bad temper, mischievousness, sharp tongue, and a penchant for teasing people? Besides these minor flaws, what else was there? Well, I must admit! The teasing part was indeed detestable.”

“I only told you this because I treat you as a friend.” Wei Xin tried to amend her previous statement, “I really like this child, Xiaoxiao. As long as he doesn’t become my son-in-law, anything else is acceptable.”

“Even if you want him to be your son-in-law now, it’s too late now. I’ve already found a new candidate.” Zhou Yan’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning as she spoke.

“Go, go, go…Forget it! Xiaoxiao may have a bad reputation, and part of it is due to his bad temper and difficult personality, but the other part may be your fault. Your choice of daughter-in-law never seems to work out, and they always end up breaking up.”

Zhou Yan was speechless.

Thinking about it, it was really, really amazing.

“Your Xiaoxiao is only twenty years old. Why are you in such a hurry? What was there to be anxious about? Perhaps there were still better prospects waiting in the future!” Wei Xin said casually, holding Zhou Yan’s briefcase in her hand. She was still concerned about the current situation.
