Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

Chapter 144 Li Yunying's Request

Hearing this, Dong Xin felt much more at ease.

She looked up at Jiang Yang, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Okay! I'll do as you say!"

"Okay, I'll be going now. Study hard." Jiang Yang said, turning to leave.

Just then, a voice came from far away.

"Jiang Yang!"

Jiang Yang turned around and saw Li Yu running towards him.

"Jiang Yang, you've finally come out! I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Li Yu ran up to him, panting heavily, and said...

"What's wrong, Li Yu? Is something the matter?" Jiang Yang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“My aunt, Li Yunying, wants to invite you to lunch,” Li Yu said.

"Inviting me to dinner?" Jiang Yang was even more puzzled. "Why?"

“I don’t know either,” Li Yu shook his head. “She just told me to call you out, and didn’t say anything else.”

"Okay, then let's have lunch then." Jiang Yang agreed without much thought.

At noon, Jiang Yang and Li Yu went to a small restaurant next to the school.

The restaurant wasn't big, but it was quite clean, and there were a few old-fashioned New Year pictures on the wall, which looked quite vintage.

The two entered the private room, where Li Yunying was already there.

She was clearly dressed up today, wearing a new blue Lenin suit, her hair was neatly combed, and she had applied face cream, looking very energetic.

"Jiang Yang, you've finally arrived! Please have a seat!"

As soon as Li Yunying saw Jiang Yang, she quickly greeted him.

Her face lit up with a smile, her eyes filled with affection and anticipation.

Jiang Yang didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Editor Li, you look really smart today!" Jiang Yang said with a smile.

"Hey, it's all to see you, my great talent!" Li Yunying was beaming from ear to ear.

"Your novel last time was really well received!"

As she spoke, she poured Jiang Yang a cup of tea.

Jiang Yang picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then asked directly, "Editor Li, you didn't just come to praise me today, did you? Just tell me what's on your mind."

Seeing that he was being so direct, Li Yunying didn't beat around the bush either. She cleared her throat and said, "It's like this, Jiang Yang, your last novel received a very good response at our newspaper. Readers have been writing to us, urging us to publish your new work!"

"Editor-in-Chief Meng Yan specifically asked me to come find you because she wants to commission an article from you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang couldn't help but laugh.

So that’s what happened.

"Editor Li, I'm so sorry, I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to write anything." He said apologetically.

He wasn't lying.

He was so busy with the clothing factory that he was practically running around like a headless chicken. How could he possibly have the time or inclination to write a novel?

Besides, he wasn't really interested in writing novels.

What he really wants to do is to go into business and become a trendsetter of this era!

Upon hearing this, Li Yunying's smile froze.

She hadn't expected Jiang Yang to refuse so decisively.

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

There's been a fierce battle between old and new ideas at the newspaper office lately, with newcomers and veteran employees vying for power.

She needs to achieve something to establish herself.

Jiang Yang noticed the change in her expression and asked, "Editor Li, is something bothering you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunying sighed with a wry smile.

"Jiang Yang, to be honest, ever since I was promoted to editor-in-chief, quite a few people in the newspaper have been watching me, waiting for me to make a mistake so they can pull me out of this position..."

She paused, then continued, "The situation at the newspaper is complicated right now. I need to produce some results quickly to shut those people up... Editor-in-Chief Meng Yan asked me to contact you to commission an article. I think this is a good opportunity..."

Seeing his aunt looking worried, Li Yu felt anxious.

He looked at Jiang Yang and whispered, "Third brother, could you help my aunt? I know you're busy, but..."

Jiang Yang raised his hand to signal him to calm down, then turned to Li Yunying and said, "Editor Li, we're on the same side. My novel was able to be published thanks to you. I will definitely help if I can. It's just that there's a lot going on at the garment factory, and I really can't find the time to sit down and write."

Disappointment flashed across Li Yunying's face, but she still forced a smile and said, "I understand. You're doing something important right now, and your time is precious. I won't force you. When we get back, I'll report your situation to Editor-in-Chief Meng Yan."

Although Li Yu was anxious, he knew that Jiang Yang was indeed in trouble.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words back.

Jiang Yang smiled slightly, confident: "Editor Li, Li Yu, don't rush, sit down and talk. Although I don't have time to write it, this matter is not entirely hopeless."

Li Yunying's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward eagerly, asking, "What's your idea? Tell me quickly!"

Li Yu's eyes widened, his face full of anticipation.

Jiang Yang calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Editor Li, could you help me find a few people?"

"Looking for someone? What kind of person?" Li Yunying was taken aback.

"The writing style needs to be good, the delicate kind, and preferably a young person with some literary background," Jiang Yang added.

"Here's the thing, I can provide a story outline or synopsis, and they can write the details. We can then co-author the story, and if it's successful, we'll split the profits proportionally. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu slapped the table in admiration: "Third brother, that's brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! How did you even come up with such an idea!"

Li Yunying also fell into deep thought.

She had never heard of this kind of cooperation before.

But upon closer inspection, it does seem to be feasible!

Jiang Yang's storytelling creativity is undeniable.

As long as his writing skills are good, coupled with his creativity, it would be difficult for him not to achieve success!

She thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is quite novel. However, do you have any specific requirements regarding the candidate?"

“Everything else is fine, even if the spirituality is a little lacking, but…” Jiang Yang’s tone changed.

"You must have good character! You must be diligent and down-to-earth, and you can't be lazy or cheat!"

Li Yunying nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry about that, I've got it covered! When I was an editor, I knew quite a few authors, some of whom had really good writing skills, but their story structure and attention to detail were a bit lacking. I'll do a good job of screening them and recommend a few reliable ones to you!"

"Sure! Editor Li, I'll leave this to you. But let's not look at too many at once. Find someone for me first, let me meet them, and let us get to know each other. Let's take it one step at a time, step by step," Jiang Yang said with a smile.

Li Yunying nodded and readily agreed: "Okay, we'll do it your way! I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yang, Li Yunying went straight back to the newspaper office.

She rushed into the office and went straight to Meng Yan's desk.

"Editor-in-Chief Meng, I have something to report to you."

Li Yunying got straight to the point, revealing Jiang Yang's thoughts in detail, along with her own analysis, and speaking with great clarity and reason.

Meng Yan was stunned at first, her eyes wide open.

"Is this...is this okay?"

She hesitated.

After all, this kind of cooperation was something she had never heard of before.
