However, some people were putting in great effort to suppress her, which infuriated her.
The people of my Zhou family wont be bullied just like that. Zhou Yan snorted coldly.
The chief accountant happened to come in to look for her. She handed the just-completed financial report to Zhou Yan and sat on the sofa to wait patiently. In the boredom of waiting, she grabbed the thickest letter from the cardboard box at the side and started reading. The more she read, the more focused she became. In the end, she couldnt help but burst into laughter.
Hahaha
Zhou Yan was driven to despair by the long string of losses, yet her old partner was actually secretly laughing at her.
What are you laughing at?
Quick, take a look. This ma.n.u.script is really interesting. Wei Xin, the chief accountant, was a woman in her forties. She was dressed like an educated urbanite. She had known Zhou Yan for decades, so they spoke casually. She immediately handed the content she had read to Zhou Yan.
Sister Zhou, we can give this a try. Wei Xin joked, Dont mind my lack of understanding. Im just an accountant, but my intuition tells me that this publication is definitely going to be a hit.
Is that so? Zhou Yan lowered her head and read it suspiciously. A sc.u.mbags handbook? Thats a fresh way to describe bad men.
Haha In the future, I wont have to worry about my daughter being cheated by bad men. I think not only is the wording humorous, but the content also makes a lot of sense.
The more Zhou Yan read, the wider her eyes opened. She was anxious to read the following content. When she saw the few examples given by the author, even she was amazed.
Theres such a thing?
How is it? Wei Xin asked anxiously.
The writing is average, but the novelty and substance of the content are what stand out. Zhou Yan critiqued in her usual manner.
Forget about your standards! Youre still picky at a time like this. I think its quite good. No one has ever written about this kind of theme before. I dont dare to say anything about others. Anyway, Ill definitely be the first to support it. Ill buy eight or ten copies for my daughter and niece.
The corner of Zhou Yans mouth twitched. She worriedly said, My Xiaoxiao cant get a wife in the first place. Wouldnt he be single for the rest of his life if this book is published?
Wei Xin didnt know whether to laugh or cry. I think Xiaoxiao isnt bad. How many people around us can compare to Xiaoxiao?
Then let your daughter marry into my family.
No way. Wei Xin immediately waved her hand. My family background is poor, and my daughter is too ugly. Shes not worthy of Xiaoxiaos peerless beauty.
Wei Xin wasnt joking. Her daughter had really liked Xu Xiaoxiao when she was in the first awakening of love, and she even plucked up the courage to confess. Guess what Xu Xiaoxiao said? He said that the little girl was too ugly and did not match his peerless beauty.
This nearly shattered the little girls confidence to live. It was fortunate that Wei Xin and Zhou Yan had known each other for decades and had an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p. Otherwise, they would have gone to Xu Xiaoxiaos place and beaten that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d to death. In the end, it was Zhou Yan who forced Xu Xiaoxiao to come over and apologize, and that incident had blown over.
Now that Zhou Yan had mentioned it, Wei Xin had used the incident from back then to make her want to teach that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d a lesson.
Publish it. One last bet. Zhou Yan was a straightforward and candid person. Once she made up her mind, she would not hesitate. Send an express registered letter to the author to sign the contract and arrange for it to be printed immediately. We also have a few book numbers on hand, so we dont have to wait for the application. Also, find a few well-known authors in the industry to help write recommendations.
With Zhou Yans instructions, the initially depressed publis.h.i.+ng house quickly turned into a flurry of activity. Everyone was full of enthusiasm, staking all their hopes on this Sc.u.mbags Handbook. They were nervous and filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Life or death would depend on their final effort..
