Ning Qingyuan quickly signed the contract in his hand. As soon as he put down the pen and said something to Zhang Xu, it was like an arrow on a string, and it was shot out. The person was already sitting in front of Ning Xiyue.

"What are you talking about? We were having so much fun." Ning Qingyuan interrupted the chat between the two of them, gritted his teeth and looked around their faces with a stiff smile, and finally set his eyes on Ji Yanming.

Ji Yanming slowly put away the rippling smile on his face and restrained his expression. The revolution had just begun. He could not be discovered by the enemy so quickly and affect his revolutionary process.

Because he was so keen that he could clearly feel an unusual anger coming from Ning Qingyuan in front of him. Based on his understanding of the two brothers, he would only be his stumbling block and not his friend in this camp.

Ji Yanming tried his best to lower the other party's anger, nodded to Ning Qingyuan naturally, and simply answered his words as if he didn't know what to do. In fact, every word was deflecting the conflict and lowering the other party's vigilance.

"Oh, I was listening to Xiyue saying that she would take you to Beijing to eat roast duck when she has time. I also said that your relationship as brother and sister is really good, and I am very envious of it."

As soon as he said these words, the anger on Ning Qingyuan's body was extinguished, and the expression on his face was replaced by a sincere smile, with a little complacency in his words.

"Really? Then you can't be envious. My sister is so good. Comrade Ji will never be able to realize it without a sister."

"Yes, I will never realize that I am not as lucky as you to have a sister."

The treacherous Ji Yanming happily followed his words and nodded vigorously in agreement, making Ning Qingyuan's hair submissive.

Ning Qingyuan raised his neck like a arrogant rooster: You are a wise boy.

Ning Xiyue watched the two people's quiet performance with a smile, and waited until the two of them had finished talking before asking about Ning Qingyuan's situation.

"Brother, have you and Editor Zhang finished talking? How was the chat? Can the article be published?"

"That's it, it's been determined that your brother will take the lead."

Speaking of this, Ning Qingyuan felt lost for a moment: "But this time there is no royalties, only two notebooks, so I can't buy candy for my sister."

Ning Xiyue comforted: "The two books are not bad. They are a good start. Brother, you are already great. Many people submitted their submissions and failed to get selected. You won the first time. This shows that you are very talented, second brother."

"It's amazing." Ji Yanming also gave a thumbs up and praised.

Ning Qingyuan saw that his sales were about the same, and he laughed a few times: "Haha, I have another good news for you, I will be paid in a month."

He originally came here for the royalties, but after talking, he found out that most of the time submissions were free of royalties, and he would only get some notebooks, pens, daily necessities and other things.

But Editor Zhang saw that his article fit the style of a new column in the newspaper, and for the sake of being a friend, he helped him get the opportunity to write a column for educated youth.

From then on, he was equivalent to a temporary worker hired by the newspaper. He regularly contributed six articles every month. Occasionally he had temporary writing tasks and did not report to the newspaper. In this way, he would receive a salary of ten yuan a month.

Ning Qingyuan was very satisfied with the job and immediately decided to sign the contract and start working.

He told Ning Xiyue and Ji Yanming about the temporary workers, and received another round of praise from them.

"Brother, this is better than submitting an article. You are equivalent to having a fixed job, which is great." Ning Xiyue was happy for her second brother and picked up the tea in her hands to clink glasses in celebration.

The three of them clinked their water glasses together with joyful smiles on their faces.

"cheers."

After taking a sip, Ning Qingyuan raised the cup and passed it in front of Ji Yanming.

"Brother Ji, I still want to thank you. You have helped me a lot to have the job I have today. Thank you."

Although he was on guard against Comrade Ji abducting his sister, it did not prevent him from still thanking Comrade Ji when he should be grateful. This was a completely different matter.

"As long as I can help you, we are all friends, no need to say this." Ji Yanming smiled lightly, picked up the water glass in front of him and touched Ning Qingyuan's glass.

Ji Yanming also talked about his previous experience of writing articles, which Ning Qingyuan listened with great interest.

He had also contributed articles to this newspaper in the past, and the editor-in-chief Zhang Xu was still his editor, so he had contributed a lot to the editor's work, and he didn't even know how many articles he had written.

Therefore, he has rich writing experience and can give Ning Qingyuan a lot of advice.

After Ning Qingyuan found out, he immediately took out his notebook and asked Ji Yanming about his writing skills.

This was just as Ji Yanming intended, teaching him without reservation that it was his duty to please his future second uncle.

Ning Qingyuan listened carefully and asked questions actively.

Ning Xiyue held her chin up and watched the two of them discussing literary matters back and forth, which made her listen fascinated.

Unexpectedly, Comrade Ji is a versatile and outstanding talent who knows everything.

Her second brother is also very good and eager to learn.

For a while, the atmosphere between the three of them was very harmonious, which was in sharp contrast to Ning Qingyuan's gnashing of teeth when he first came over.

It wasn't until Zhang Xu came over with the signed and sealed contract that this harmonious situation was destroyed.

Zhang Xu handed over the contract and two notebooks symbolizing the royalties, and extended his right hand: "Comrade Ning, you are welcome to join."

"Thank you, thank you, it's my pleasure." Ning Qingyuan held the contract and book in his left hand, and held Zhang Xu's hand in his right hand, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

After leaving the newspaper office, Ning Qingyuan kept looking at the contract, and from time to time he would show it to Ning Xiyue for her to read, which was typical of excessive excitement.

"Sister, this is my first job. When you get your salary next month, I will buy you candies. We will each have this book."

Ning Qingyuan handed the notebook in his hand to Ning Xiyue, looking forward to the ten yuan salary next month. In the future, he would have more money to help his sister live a good life.

Comrade Ji is truly his noble man.

"To celebrate my second brother getting a good job today, let's go straight to the department store for shopping." Ning Xiyue put away her notebook and waved her hand proudly.

Ji Yanming immediately stood up: "I'll lead the way."

The three of them walked vigorously towards the largest department store in Shanghai.

As expected, as soon as I reached the entrance of the department store, the system beeped.

"Ding, I found that the check-in location is a department store. I need the host to sign in with love. Does the host sign in?"

"Sign in."

There are so many ways to compare love, and it is very simple to compare love without knowing it.

Ning Xiyue chose the simplest pen refill, placed her thumb and index finger on her head and pretended to touch them.

Then he turned around and praised his second brother and Comrade Ji exaggeratedly: "Department stores in big cities are just different, they are so grand."

The movements are natural and done in one go.

"Ding, you signed in successfully and got a 14-inch black and white TV set, a radio, a camera, and an electric fan."

Huo, good guys, they are all the most valuable items in this era.

Whenever a family owns something, it will arouse the envy and jealousy of a large number of people, making it the most popular family in the neighborhood.

The items signed in this time were really grand. Even though these items could not be released for use temporarily, she was very happy just looking at them.

This made Ning Xiyue full of expectations for the department store, and she looked at the building in front of her with gleaming eyes.

Also with the same expression was Ning Qingyuan, who saw the grandeur of a department store in a big city for the first time: "If we don't call it a big city, the department stores are much taller than ours."

"Brother, Comrade Ji, let's go in."
