After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Chapter 385: Misfortune 2nd Brush

In addition to meeting Han Li and Lin Xingran, Jiang Baige also went to Lincheng to meet another person - Dugu He.

A few days ago, Dugu He told her that her application for reprinting of her patricide article had been approved and printing would begin after the new year.

Because the print run this time is relatively large, and there is still some residual heat from the short drama broadcast, Dugu He hopes to carry out some marketing activities to make up for the regret caused by the epidemic during the first printing.

Dugu He provided three options: personal autograph bonus, offline signing and online live broadcast.

Jiang Baige rejected this offline plan.

It’s not because of the publisher’s cost considerations. After all, the marketing costs cannot be borne by her as the author.

She was just a little worried. The cyberbullying incident happened not long ago, and that incident was closely linked to the patricide article. There was no guarantee that there wouldn't be some extremists who would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Ruining a book signing isn't a big deal, but if she gets scared or even hurt herself, wouldn't that be a loss?

If the purpose is just to sell more books, there are many safe ways, such as -

"Teacher Dugu, since your second screening is due to the popularity of the short play, I can talk to the crew and send them a few copies after the book comes out. I'll let them post them online, which will definitely attract more people."

"That's a good idea! Let's do it!"

After the short drama was aired, Xue Qinghui's popularity increased visibly, as can be seen from the increase in endorsements she received and the number of people picking her up at the airport.

Although the extent to which a short drama can become popular is limited, it is a coincidence that a drama filmed by Xue Qinghui before the epidemic was also aired.

Although it was a period ensemble drama, Xue Qinghui was not the protagonist, but the third sister of the heroine.

But that was a TV series that was broadcast on TV, and with her solid acting skills, her reputation and fame improved.

This is reflected not only in the data of social accounts, but more in the advertising endorsements and scripts handed over.

Jiang Baige didn't know the inside story, but Xue Qinghui knew it herself.

Therefore, she regarded the short play of patricide as a turning point, and out of love for Jiang Baige, she regarded Jiang Baige as a benefactor.

On New Year's Day, I sent a special blessing text message to Jiang Baige.

Jiang Baige thought that if she went to find Xue Qinghui, she would probably help her.

Even without mentioning the benefits that the patricide skit brought to Xue Qinghui, Jiang Baige also believed that someone who could take the initiative to lend a helping hand when she was being cyberbullied would be willing to do this small favor.

Dugu He asked again: "In addition to offline signing, is there any problem with in-person signing and online live broadcast?"

These plans were for the purpose of buying books for her, so Jiang Baige naturally agreed.

However, at that time they only roughly decided on a direction and did not discuss specific operations.

Now Jiang Baige was about to go to Lincheng, so she took the initiative to find Dugu He and talk about this matter.

When Dugu He heard this, he was very happy and said that this was the best news he had received before the New Year. He also reimbursed Jiang Baige for her travel expenses.

That’s great. Jiang Baige would be happy even if it’s a train.

The matter was settled.

After the New Year, Jiang Baige went to Lincheng first and lived with Lin Xingran - saving accommodation expenses. She took some time to meet Han Li, and then found a day or two to spend with Dugu He to sign hundreds of books. Then she flew back to Anjing from Lincheng to work.

However, since she has to go to Lincheng after the New Year, she cannot take leave before the New Year and has to stick to her post until the last few days.

Jiang Baige did what she said. Before the New Year, she filled out the application for annual leave for 21 in the OA system and planned to return to work a week later.

The director and the boss’ approval was quickly obtained, and Jiang Baige felt relieved.

Everything was fine.

Unexpectedly, just after the fourth day of the New Year, Jiang Baige heard bad news from Susu.

It turned out that someone went to "report" to the boss, saying that Jiang Baige was secretly running a side business and taking leave at random, which not only affected her work but also caused a bad influence in the company.

"Anyway, when you come back after the New Year, your boss may want to talk to you. Be prepared in advance."

Even so, Jiang Baige was very unhappy: "How did I ask for leave in a wrong way? Didn't I follow the company's regulations?"

Because of this, she came back just before the New Year, and the air ticket was much more expensive than usual.

She hasn't even complained yet, but some bad guy has already filed a complaint?

Sure enough, what is more annoying than working itself is the people who don’t work properly and only want to engage in “labor struggles” every day.

Su Su advised her: "Hey, there are many things in this world that lack money and love, but there is no shortage of red eye disease! But think about it from another perspective. The fact that I know about this and tell you means that your boss wants you to know."

"what?"

"If that's not the case, why not just wait for you to come back and catch you off guard? Why give you so much time to prepare?"

This makes sense, but Jiang Baige still feels uncomfortable.

Since someone is jealous of her, even if she fails this time, there will be next time, and the next time... How can she live comfortably?

Su Su had no choice but to let her celebrate the New Year well first, and comforted her that that was what work was all about, it was just to support the family, and she shouldn't take it too seriously.

Jiang Baige suddenly thought: What if I don’t need this job to support my family?

I had been looking for a job step by step before because I was worried that I couldn’t support myself with writing and I didn’t want to repeat the mistakes of my previous life.

But now it seems that full-time writing can support her.

Why should she suffer the pain of working?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she thought of Han Li’s job invitation again - I can’t stay here, there are many places that want me!

Anyway, this administrative work is just a stopgap measure and it's not something she likes to do.

Thinking of this, the scale in Jiang Baige's heart tilted more towards Han Li.

But what Su Su said is right: Have a good New Year first!

After the New Year, Jiang Baige would stay at home for two days before going to Lincheng - because she could only get a train ticket for that day.

Just at this time, Zhou Ling called her and said that the defamation case that Jiang Baige had entrusted her with had entered the judicial process, and she wanted to meet with Jiang Baige before the trial.

“That might be next week.”

"What's wrong? Are you going on a business trip?" Zhou Ling asked casually, "If I'm nearby, I can come to find you."

The main reason is that Jiang Baige has confirmed that she will not appear in court. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Zhou Ling still wants to contact her as soon as possible so that any situation can be adjusted in time.

Anyway, their lawyers are also running around following the cases.

"It's not a business trip, but I have to go to Lincheng."

"What are you doing in Lincheng?"

"I've finished the second print run of my patricide novel, and the editor wants me to sign some books. Xingran is back, so I can stay at her place. Plus, Xiaoli wants Xingran to do a job, so she wants me to lobby for her. Since everything has come together, I might as well go over there."

After hearing what Jiang Baige said, Zhou Ling was also quite interested: "How about I go over there too? I'll look through the cases I have on hand to see if there are any nearby... After all, you are my client too."

"That's great. We haven't been together for a long time, right?"

Zhou Ling suddenly said, "Three of the four people in the dormitory have arrived. Do you want to call Wen Mian as well?"
