All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 810 811. Threats and New Works
After Yue Wenxuan said such words, his elder brother actually regarded him as a close friend. He was really shameless.

He glanced at his eldest brother and continued to say to his mother, "Mom, I think you should feel lucky. If my eldest brother hadn't repeatedly postponed the wedding, he would have talked to you about divorce instead of breaking up.

Although breaking up is unpleasant and a little hard to accept, it is much better than divorce.

You can't force matters of the heart, so let my brother make his own decision.

If you feel sorry for Lin Meijuan, you can give her a little more financial compensation, even though she may not need it, but this is the only thing you can get for her."

Cong Qiuhui was also very clear about what Yue Wenxuan understood. She also knew what kind of person her eldest son was, but she was a little angry that he didn't take feelings seriously.

Cong Qiuhui sighed, "Meijuan is a little ordinary in appearance, but there is nothing wrong with her character or personality.

They were already talking about marriage, but suddenly they want to break up. What's the difference between your brother and Chen Shimei?"

Cong Qiuhui was filled with resentment towards her eldest son, she was simply disappointed with him. "When he pursued Meijuan, his mind was not pure to begin with. Your father and I did give him a chance. We asked him to think carefully about whether to break up or not. It was his own decision, no one forced him.

Now he's a college student, and he doesn't even look down on his ex-girlfriend even before he graduates. I think he's the typical rich-snobbish person, and he's not loyal at all in his relationships.

With his attitude towards relationships, I'm worried that even if he breaks up with Meijuan, there won't be any good results in the future."

"Mom, how can you look at me like this?" Yue Lingxuan felt very aggrieved. "In the future, I will definitely be able to find a revolutionary partner that I truly love. I will definitely treat her well and be absolutely loyal to her."

Yue Lingxuan tried his best to defend himself, "You all know that when I first pursued Lin Meijuan, there were indeed many factors other than emotional reasons. It was precisely because of this that I wanted to break up with her many times.

It was a mistake for me to be with her. Now that I have realized this, I think it is better to correct it as soon as possible.

After all, we haven't gotten married yet. It would be better to end this mistake as soon as possible. Even if it will hurt her a little, the damage will be less.

If I wait until after marriage to get divorced, I will be really sorry for her."

Faced with her eldest son's arguing, Cong Qiuhui felt very tired and suddenly didn't want to preach anymore.

Yue Xuchu also couldn't stand his eldest son's behavior, but he knew that the situation was irreversible, so he could only say helplessly:
“You can’t force relationships, and since the boss has decided to break up, let him do it.

As for Meijuan, please consider whether to meet with her. If she is willing to accept, you can compensate her financially."

Cong Qiuhui nodded and said to her eldest son, "Then when you meet Meijuan later, tell me a message. If she is still willing to see me, you can help me make an appointment with her."

"I will tell her, but I don't think she will be willing to meet me." Yue Lingxuan didn't want his mother to get involved, and he didn't want to give Lin Meijuan financial compensation.

"If she really doesn't want to meet me, don't force it."

"I see."

Finally, he managed to deal with it with his parents. Yue Lingxuan's mood immediately improved a lot. He then quickly changed the subject and talked about some interesting things that happened in school recently.

Cong Qiuhui and his wife had no interest in talking to their children about other things. After a few words, they returned to their room.

Yue Wenxuan also returned to his room with his elder brother.

Yue Lingxuan finally convinced his parents and was in a good mood. At this moment, he had a strong desire to talk, so he pulled Yue Wenxuan aside and told him a lot of his inner thoughts.

After listening to him, Yue Wenxuan asked: "Brother, from what I know about you, you should already have a partner, right?"

"No, don't misunderstand me. Lin Meijuan and I broke up simply because we lacked a common language." Yue Lingxuan strongly denied.

"I don't know you yet."

Yue Wenxuan sneered, "If you didn't have a new lover, you wouldn't be so determined to break up with Lin Meijuan.

It’s fine if you hide it from your parents, but there’s no need to be on guard against me too. I won’t say anything to you.

Besides, you can't hide it from me. If I want to know, I can just go to your school and ask around, and I'll find out naturally."

Yue Lingxuan was still a little afraid of his parents, but he had nothing to worry about his brother.

Since Yue Wenxuan had guessed what he was thinking, he didn't hide anything and told the truth:
“You guessed it right, I have indeed found my destined revolutionary partner.

Both of us are college students of the new era. We can think alike on everything, and we have the same ideas and views on the future.

We have endless things to talk about when we are together. This is the ideal revolutionary partner in my mind.

It's not that I feel sorry for Lin Meijuan, it's just that we have nothing in common. Even if we are forced together, we will not be happy in the future.

I pulled myself out early and ended this wrong relationship as soon as possible, which was also responsible for her and prevented her from suffering greater harm in the future."

Yue Wenxuan simply ignored her subsequent excuses and continued to ask: "What kind of person is my future sister-in-law? What's her name? You have to introduce her to me."

“Her name is Jordan Qiu, she is the same age as me, she is a self-reliant and strong new-age woman, I like her personality very much.

After a while, when we are officially in a relationship, I will bring her home and you will be able to see her naturally."

When talking about his new partner, Yue Lingxuan was beaming with joy, and it was obvious that he liked this person very much.

"So his name is Qiao Danqiu, a nice name. I guess he must be very handsome, and his family should be good too."

Based on Yue Wenxuan's understanding of his elder brother, even if his elder brother and Qiao Danqiu have something in common, if Qiao Danqiu's family is too ordinary and can't help his elder brother, his elder brother might not like her. Yue Wenxuan's words really touched Yue Lingxuan's heart, and there was a little pride in his tone, "She looks okay, definitely more beautiful than Lin Meijuan, but compared to Wen Xiaoqing, she looks very ordinary.

His family background is not bad either. Qiao Danqiu's parents are both cadres, but I don't want to ask too much about their specific ranks."

Yue Lingxuan certainly would not ask directly about the position of Qiaodan Qiu's father, as this would seem a bit too utilitarian. But he had already learned from the side that Qiaodan Qiu's father had resumed work two years ago, and his administrative level should be eleven or twelve.

He has a clear plan for his future work and a clear understanding of himself. Although he is also a college student, his school is a bit ordinary after all, so it may be difficult for him to be assigned to a good unit after graduation. If he can get some help from outside, the situation should be different.

"Hearing what you said, I think the future sister-in-law should be very good in all aspects. You have to hurry up and don't miss it."

Yue Wenxuan was not surprised that his good brother could find a partner with such good conditions.

Although Yue Lingxuan's appearance is not as good as his, he is still a handsome guy. He comes from a good family and is a college student. He is quite attractive.

For the Yue family, Yue Lingxuan's sudden proposal to break up was of course a big deal, but as he said, after all, they were not married yet, so the impact of the breakup was not particularly large. Moreover, he did not ask his parents to intervene, and he solved the matter himself. After a while, the matter gradually faded, and no one mentioned it again.

After the graduate student interview, Yue Wenxuan became completely free. He took time every day to conceive a new novel and lived a very leisurely life.

In the morning, he was drinking tea in his office when Qu Zhize, whom he hadn't seen for a while, came to him again.

After such a long time of contact, the two of them have become very casual with each other. As soon as they met, Qu Zhize said:
"I see you live a pretty leisurely life. With your literary background, the interview shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to go to Kyoto University to study for a master's degree when the new semester starts."

"How enviable! If I remember correctly, you should be 21 years old this year, right? You actually skipped the undergraduate stage and went straight to graduate school. You really came at a good time."

"Why do I feel like I smell something sour? Should I be proud that an old college student like you is jealous?"

"You think too highly of yourself. You're just a graduate student. Why should I be jealous of you?"

Qu Zhize would certainly not admit it, "I just think you got lucky. You were able to pass the postgraduate entrance exam without going to college. God is really too kind to you."

Yue Wenxuan poured a cup of tea for Qu Zhize, "Let's talk about business. How about what I mentioned to you last time? I am now a famous young writer after all, and my novels have sparked heated discussions across the country. Should I raise my royalties again?"

"You are really obsessed with money. All you care about is the manuscript fee. The current maximum manuscript fee is only 7 yuan per thousand words, and yours is already 6 yuan per thousand words. There are only a few people in the country who have higher manuscript fees than you, and you are still not satisfied."

Yue Wenxuan said confidently: "I am at least one of the most influential young writers, so shouldn't I get the highest remuneration?
Although I am young, I have produced quite a few works, right? And the influence of each of them is not bad. I think my request is reasonable. "

"It's not that there is no hope, but you have to show some attitude. Think about how long it has been since you published new works. How can I fight for you?"

Qu Zhize took the opportunity to make a request, which was also the purpose of his visit today.

"I think you are the Zhou Paopi of the editing world, and you will exploit young writers like me.

Don't you think about how many works I have published in this year? Can you find a writer who is more prolific than me?" Yue Wenxuan said confidently.

“How can you compare yourself to others? You have to compare yourself to yourself!

Your last work was "Love in Lushan" published in April. It has been more than two months and the graduate student interviews have ended. Isn't it time for you to conceive a new novel?
At your age, you are full of inspiration. You should write more works while you still have the energy.

When you get older and lose your strong creative energy, you will not be able to write new works." Qu Zhize looked distressed.

"You are such a good and responsible editor! Does Editor-in-Chief Zhang know that you are so good at collecting manuscripts?"

“Thank you for your recognition and understanding. It doesn’t matter whether Editor-in-Chief Zhang knows or not. What matters is that you understand.

I'm just worried that you're relaxing your standards, so I came to urge you. Now that the graduate interviews are over, you should focus on creating new works."

Yue Wenxuan's literary skills are deep enough and his foundation is solid enough. The recent postgraduate review did not take up too much of his time. He did not interrupt the creation of new works, but just did not produce them in time.

Recently, he changed his creative thinking and no longer created his own original works. In addition to "Lushan Love" published in April, he also completed "Night Rain in Bashan".

The original film script was simpler in plot, so he made some necessary additions and adaptations and created two novellas with the same name.

Since Qu Zhize came over, Yue Wenxuan just handed the new manuscript to him.

He opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of manuscripts, placed it in front of Qu Zhize and said:
"This is my new novel, Night Rain in Bashan. Take it back and read it.

But I have one request, you must raise my remuneration standard, otherwise, without the motivation to create, you don’t know when you will see my new work next time.”

Qu Zhize took the manuscript with excitement and said cheerfully: "Just put your mind at ease and work hard on your creation. When I get back, I will ask Editor-in-Chief Zhang to raise your remuneration to the maximum of 7 yuan per thousand words.

If you can't do this, I will make up for the difference in remuneration next time."

"You said it, and I'm a stubborn person. If you can't do it, don't blame me for blocking your door."

Qu Zhize was not threatened and used the diversion method directly, "Just come, I will take you to Editor-in-Chief Zhang's house for dinner. If he dares not agree, we will eat him out of money!
Let me tell you, Editor-in-Chief Zhang’s wife is an expert at cooking fish. If the two of us could really afford two meals out of her, it would be an absolute treat.

The last time I had fish stew at their house was a year ago, and I still miss it when I think about it now.”

Yue Wenxuan said: "You are really mean. If Editor-in-Chief Zhang knew that you gave me such bad advice, I wonder if he would fire you."
