After getting excited, Editor Huang immediately explained his duty, "Our company wants to publish a complete set of poetry calligraphy books! The content selected includes ’Poems of the Book of Songs,’ ’Tang Poems,’ ’Song Ci Selection,’ ’Yuan Qu Selection,’ ’Modern Poems,’ and ’English Poems Selection,’ a total of six volumes! The main theme is love poems!" "But that’s way too much!" Zhen Yu blurted out, "I can’t possibly finish all that! I haven’t even submitted the calligraphy drafts for middle school and high school textbooks yet!" Editor Huang retorted without hesitation, "You can do it! It’s just writing, not like it’s novel writing!" Zhen Yu silently rolled her eyes, as if saying, it’s not you who has to write! This text is hosted at NoveIFire.net The quality of the calligraphy in these drafts must be excellent! "Really, I can’t! I won’t have time until after May Day," "How about submitting the drafts in phases from after May Day until summer break?! We are not in a big rush, or else I wouldn’t have waited over a month to contact you!" "Can’t do it before summer break... Six volumes in two months, my high school curriculum is really tight!" "How about... submitting three volumes before summer vacation, and the other three one month after summer break! Does that work?" "... I’ll think about it and call you back before seven tonight!" "Okay then! That’s settled then! I’ll hang up now, waiting for your call!" Editor Huang hung up so swiftly that Zhen Yu hadn’t even reacted before all she could hear were the ’beep beep’ sounds. "Ah... really running out of time!" Zhen Yu was about to turn off her phone when it vibrated again. Seeing ’Factory Director Lu’ displayed on the screen, Zhen Yu’s hand moved faster than her brain, and she answered immediately. "Factory Director Lu," Zhen Yu hadn’t even finished her greeting when Factory Director Lu started talking, "Zhen Yu! The factory location is settled!! I’ve also secured the brand! See when your brother is free and ask him to come sign everything! He’s the last shareholder who hasn’t signed yet!" Zhen Yu thought quickly and asked, "Can he come by this noon? Where should he sign?" "Noon works! I was planning to invite some officials and the seller for lunch today! Let your brother join us! I’ll bring all the documents," "He’s still a student!" Zhen Yu interrupted with a stern tone, "Please give me an address closer to Qi City No.1 High School! I’ll have my brother take a taxi there to sign." "Ah... then come directly to the government office! It’s the building closest to No.1 High School, I’ll also ask the seller to meet there and wait for him together." "Can we make it 12:30?" Zhen Yu was all business. Factory Director Lu was probably thrilled by securing two big deals! Cheerfully he said, "Sure! We were planning to have lunch together anyway, so it’s okay if it’s a bit late!" "Let’s go with that then! I need to hang up now Factory Director Lu, I’m actually in class right now!" Zhen Yu had been out of the classroom far too long and really didn’t want to talk more. "Oh! Oh, I forgot, you guys started school today!" Factory Director Lu just remembered his daughter went back to school today, he hurriedly said: "Hang up quickly! We can talk after your school ends..." After hanging up this call, Zhen Yu’s phone finally went silent. She quickly turned it off and tucked it back in her pocket, with a composed face, she returned to the classroom. Just as Zhen Yu reached the front of the lectern, the class monitor Zhao Guoqing of class two loudly called her out: "Zhen Yu, it’s class time! How can you leave the classroom without even a heads-up?" Even though it’s a self-study class and no one manages the discipline, that doesn’t mean you can just leave as you please! Could you be any more outrageous?! Zhen Yu covertly glanced at Jia Ming and took a deep breath, "Sorry! I really had to pee just now!" That sentence made the faces of the classmates in class two quite colorful. Han Ming Yue was amused by Zhen Yu’s blunt lie and sniggered silently, while Zhao Guoqing was choked up not knowing what to say! Zhen Yu didn’t care and just walked back to her seat after responding. In order to maintain his dignity as the class monitor, Zhao Guoqing finally spoke again, "Next time you have this situation, remember to raise your hand and ask for leave!" "Got it! Will do." Zhen Yu responded without even turning back, not hesitating in the slightest. Han Ming Yue moved her chair back and sideways, stretching her long legs into the aisle so Zhen Yu could squeeze through the gap between the tables and chairs. While doing this, Han Ming Yue seemed to casually ask, "Why did it take so long?" If she had returned any later, it would have been time to leave school for lunch break. "Oh! There were a few calls, ended up taking three in a row." Zhen Yu sat down with a frown starting to worry. "What’s wrong? Was it about the calls just now?" Han Ming Yue was a bit puzzled. Who called? What was said? Why did Zhen Yu react after the calls? "Han Ming Yue! Even Lu Xun said that time is like water in a sponge, there’s always more if you’re willing to squeeze!" While saying this, Zhen Yu raised her hand, palm up, and squeezed it tightly to vividly act out the ’squeeze.’ But then she suddenly opened her palm and said, "But why do I feel like squeezing a sponge is harder than squeezing a ditch now? Life is so tough!" Han Ming Yue blinked. It seemed like he understood, but also not quite. So he had to just pick a part he could understand to ask! "Are you really short on time?" "Uh-huh!" Zhen Yu unconsciously nodded, "Editor Huang from Beijing called, and I want to collaborate with her on another set of cursive calligraphy books." Han Ming Yue somewhat understood, so that was it! No wonder Xiao Yu was worried... "Is the draft being rushed?" "That’s not it." Zhen Yu honestly said, "It’s just that this way, I won’t have time to write my novel, nor continue the series!" Han Ming Yue fell silent. He couldn’t help her with the calligraphy drafts, but he could actually write the novel! Yet the real problem was that Zhen Yu definitely wouldn’t agree to this! Hence, he really couldn’t help with these issues, and at this moment, the only thing he could do was comfort her. "Xiao Yu! There are priorities in everything, you’ve already made up your mind about the importance of calligraphy and novel writing, haven’t you?" Of course, Zhen Yu had figured it out! But she was still somewhat unwilling! After all, the novel was a project she had been eager to start since her rebirth! How could she give up halfway? She at least needed... to mourn for it for three minutes...
