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

Chapter 121 Urging for Update

Ye Yuwu was of course willing, as this way she could earn some money.

Moreover, her stories are currently only circulating within Bianjing; they haven't even spread outside yet, so she's naturally happy to see it succeed.

Manager Gao was someone she trusted. She had actually been considering opening branches in other places, but she needed time to visit other towns to investigate.

Deciding where to open the first branch requires time to investigate a capital city, as the first branch is of paramount importance.

Now that's good, she doesn't need to send people to investigate in the other capital cities.

Manager Gao grew up in Chizhou and knows this place best. He wouldn't be blind to the local customs and open a teahouse haphazardly.

Moreover, since Manager Gao wrote to her about this matter, he must have done so after investigation and careful consideration, so she didn't need to worry too much.

With Manager Gao overseeing things in Chizhou, after all, Manager Gao is a "partner"!

Thinking of this, she quickly took out some letter paper, ground the ink, and began to write.

The letter first expressed her wishes, and then outlined her plans for the teahouse.

She wrote several pages, which can be considered as writing down all her thoughts.

When she finished writing on the last sheet of paper, she picked it up and gently blew on it, trying to dry the ink as quickly as possible.

Then she looked at the letter in her hand with satisfaction, but the handwriting was still just as ugly.

She sighed. Alas, she had been too busy lately, and had even stopped writing her novel "The Little Chef of Jinchao" for several issues, so naturally she hadn't had time to practice calligraphy.

Ye Yuwu sent the letter to Chizhou, which was far away and would take at least a month to reach. She would then send some banknotes back to the bank as start-up capital for opening a branch.

Snow was falling heavily outside, like willow catkins dancing in the air. Walking on the street, snow was hanging on the bluestone slabs, houses, and tree branches. Fortunately, the snow had arrived in time. Ye Yuwu could only pray that so many people wouldn't die in this cold winter.

With this prayer in mind, Ye Yuwu braved the falling snow and walked from the street to the bookstore.

As soon as I entered, I saw Bai Zunxing sitting by the window on the first floor, her hands supporting her chin, looking dazed, as if she was in a daze.

It was cold, and everyone inside the bookstore was wearing heavy coats.

Ye Yuwu shook the snow off her cloak and entered the bookstore, unable to resist asking Liang Suxin, who was standing at the counter, "What's wrong with her?"

It snowed today, so it wasn't convenient for them to go out and collect inspiration. They stayed in the bookstore to help out.

At that moment, Guan Yan happened to be there too. He stood next to Liang Suxin, and to be honest, the two of them really did look like a perfect match.

Upon hearing her shopkeeper's words, Liang Suxin looked up at Bai Zunxing, who was secretly heartbroken not far away, and sighed, "Don't even mention it! Mr. Wuming hasn't updated his serialized story for over a month!"

"Huh? It's fine if the story hasn't been updated, but why does she look like this, as if her soul has been sucked away?"

Liang Suxin shook her head helplessly and said, "Zunxing was worried that something had happened to Mr. Wuming, so she wrote to him to ask about his recent situation. She didn't expect that Mr. Wuming would reply to her seriously in the past, but this time he didn't reply. Then she didn't give up and wrote several more letters, but she didn't receive a reply. She felt that Mr. Wuming must have encountered danger or some kind of predicament, which is why she hadn't heard from him. She has been in this state for several days now."

“She’s been frowning or sighing lately, and I don’t even dare to walk past her,” Guan Yan explained from the side.

However, Ye Yuwu felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, since the "Wuming" they were referring to was her.

"Let alone Zunxing, if Mr. Wuming doesn't release a new story, I'll soon be in the same state as him." Liang Suxin sighed, her eyes almost lifeless.

"Manager Ye, you must have met Mr. Wuming, right? After all, his stories always pass through your hands. Do you know anything about Mr. Wuming's current situation?" Guan Yan was afraid that her beloved would become soulless like Bai Zunxing, so she quickly asked Ye Yuwu, hoping to get an answer from her.

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Wuming is doing well! His serialized story will be published soon."

Ye Yuwu had no choice but to tell them this.

It wouldn't be right to reveal my identity to them now; I feel like I'd be beaten to death by the book fans.

Who could stand reading only part of the story only to find out the author had stopped updating?! This would truly be drowned in the spittle of the book's readers. So, feeling guilty, Ye Yuwu ran away after saying this.

She finally managed to leave them and found a quiet place when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. Startled, she turned around and saw Zhang Rouyan standing behind her, patting her chest.

You almost scared me to death.

"Shopkeeper, have you done something wrong? Is it really necessary to react so strongly?"

"What wrong thing could I possibly do?" Ye Yuwu straightened her back with righteous indignation.

"Tsk tsk, shopkeeper, it seems you don't have a clear understanding of yourself! Look at our book repair department, it's almost drowning in your fans' letters! Even I can't stand it anymore! When are you going to update?" Zhang Rouyan almost shouted as she spoke, but Ye Yuwu covered her mouth with her hand in time.

"Keep your voice down! Keep your voice down! If someone hears me, my identity will be exposed! Would you be satisfied if your boss was chased and berated by a bunch of people?!" Who would have thought that one day she would be pressured to write her manuscript right in front of her.

Zhang Rouyan rolled her eyes as the other woman covered her mouth, then removed her hand from her mouth.

"You're also afraid of being exposed and condemned! You have no idea how much trouble our book editing department has been going through this past month. Besides being condemned by your fans, we also have to deal with Bai Zunxing. She's really persistent. Every day, whenever she has a spare moment, she comes to ask if Mr. Wuming has replied to her letter. Every time she gets an answer, she looks so dejected. It breaks my heart to see her like that!"

After speaking, Zhang Rouyan took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ye Yuwu couldn't stand this kind of thing the most. She always responded better to gentle persuasion than force. "Oh, I... I'll stay up all night to finish writing the storybook, please don't do this!"

"Really?" Zhang Rouyan paused, the handkerchief beside her eye catching in her throat. She glanced cautiously at Ye Yuwu.

"Really! Give me two days." Ye Yuwu had a terrible headache.

Zhang Rouyan stopped crying, her previous worried expression vanished, and the speed at which she changed her expression was astonishing.

"Alright, then we'll be waiting for your serialized novel!" Having received Ye Yuwu's definite answer, Zhang Rouyan achieved her goal and left without looking back to attend to her own business in the book editing department.

Ye Yuwu was left standing there, feeling frustrated. She felt like she had been tricked. She slapped herself, secretly cursing herself for talking too fast. Why did she only talk for two days? Three days would have been fine too!

Fortunately, nothing urgent happened recently, so she turned down those trivial tasks and delegated them to trustworthy subordinates.
