"Since Teacher Ling Ling has signed the contract, I won't bother you any more." Xiao Xiao said as she was about to pack up and leave. After all, seeing that Ling Ling was now dressed in a maid outfit, she should still be working. Since everything was done, there was no need for her to stay here any longer.
What's more, there is a world of feasting and drinking waiting for her outside. Maybe if she goes out for a walk, she can even hook up with the young, rich and handsome guy in S City. The thought of it makes her a little excited.
After hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Ling Ling was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "Are you leaving so soon? How about having lunch first before leaving? It's almost lunch time now."
Xiao Xiao shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I just finished breakfast, so..."
"Oh~ That's really a pity. I wanted to treat my editor to a good meal, with braised salted fish, salted fish and eggplant casserole, steamed salted fish..." Ling Ling said, pretending to be very regretful.
What she just mentioned were all Xiao Xiao's favorite dishes. Xiao Xiao didn't have any particular likes or dislikes when it came to food, but there was one thing that she liked the most, and that was salted fish.
Thinking back to her past life, every time Ling Ling and Xiao Xiao went out to eat, they had to find a restaurant that had salted fish. Ling Ling couldn't understand why. Was salted fish really that delicious? Anyway, she didn't like it.
After hearing Ling Ling's words, Xiao Xiao, who had stood up halfway, sat back down, looked at Ling Ling with an expression that said, "I really can't do anything with you," and said, "I didn't eat much for breakfast, and I'm a little hungry now. But I really won't disturb your work, will I?"
Ling Ling glanced around the coffee shop casually. There were still very few customers at the moment, but compared to previous weekends, it was a huge difference. Even if there were only one or two people, it could still be handled.
"It's okay, these are just small matters. There are not many customers right now anyway. Please wait a moment, I'll go talk to the boss." Ling Ling said as he walked towards Chu Mengyao who was standing behind the counter.
After explaining the situation to Chu Mengyao, Chu Mengyao waved her hand and said, "Hey, if you have something to do, just leave. There aren't many people in the store right now, so we can handle it. Just don't forget me after your novel is published."
"Don't worry, I will definitely sell you one set at a 9.5% discount."
"Hey, be reasonable. Don't you just say it's a gift for me? You're not playing by the rules!" Chu Mengyao was almost pissed to death by Ling Ling.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would give you things for free?" Ling Ling said expressionlessly.
Chu Mengyao shook her head. Ling Ling was just as stingy as she was. Now that she thought about it, it wasn't easy for Ling Ling to give her a 9.5% discount.
Luo Xiaoning, who was standing aside, kept winking at Ling Ling. She also wanted to go out and have some fun. She was almost bored to death from staying in the store every day and most importantly, her computer was not with her.
Ling Ling also noticed Luo Xiaoning who had been winking at her, but thinking about Chu Mengyao's humanoid Tyrannosaurus-like fighting power, Ling Ling decisively ignored Luo Xiaoning's eyes and walked directly into the locker room to change clothes.
Luo Xiaoning was so angry that she stomped her feet, but because Chu Mengyao was beside her, she had just been pressed on the bed and rubbed. If she jumped again, it would not be as simple as rubbing.
After Xiao Xiao waited on the sofa for a while, she saw Ling Ling, who had changed out of her maid outfit, walking towards her. Looking at Ling Ling in a light blue dress, Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise. Ling Ling at this moment seemed different from the Ling Ling who was just wearing a maid outfit, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
"Sorry for the long wait. Let's go. I'll ask my daughter to come along. You don't mind, do you?" Ling Ling had just called her daughter in the locker room. After learning that she hadn't had lunch yet, she asked her to come along.
Xiao Xiao shook her head. After all, the novel written by Ling Ling's sister was very popular now, and she also wanted to meet this underage author.
Ling Ling's target was in a small restaurant near the shopping mall, which Ling Ling discovered by chance. The salted fish dishes in this restaurant were so delicious that even Ling Ling, who didn't like salted fish, couldn't stop eating them after eating them once. This showed how delicious this restaurant was.
When Xiao Xiao saw the tiny Ling Li, she was shocked once again. After learning that Ling Li was still in the sixth grade of elementary school, Xiao Xiao didn't know what expression to use.
She really couldn't connect the elementary school student in front of her with the phrase 'Mommy, I love you'. It was really unscientific. How old was he, and yet he could write a novel so well
She remembered that the monthly fee of this elementary school student seemed to be nearly ten thousand, which was more than her monthly salary! At such a young age, he had achieved such success. If he had another few years, he would have soared to the sky and become a god! Xiao Xiao seemed to see a future god standing in front of her.
Thinking back to the past, when she was this age, she could only write some novels full of middle school atmosphere. As for making money? Don't be kidding, even now, she is not sure that her novels can be as good as those written by this elementary school student in front of her.
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that she had lived a useless life at her age.
Ling Yu squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao warily. Although she knew that this was her editor, she was always very wary of people who suddenly appeared next to her mother, especially those who were very beautiful.
"Okay, both of you, stop standing here. Let's go in quickly, otherwise there will be no seats." Ling Ling looked at the situation inside the restaurant. Although the restaurant was located in a relatively remote place, there were still a lot of customers inside. If Ling Ling came a little later, there might be no seats left.
"Okay, Mom~" Ling Yu always listens to her mom. She will never say a word against whatever her mom says.
“Eh!?”
After hearing Ling Yu addressing Ling Ling, she was stunned for a moment. What the hell is Mama? Are these two actually mother and daughter? They do look a bit alike, but there is no way a high school student can have a sixth-grade daughter. She must be mistaken.

Chapter 223 God Fragment
"What's going on? Aren't we getting along well and shooting the cover today? How come you haven't come yet at this hour?"
At the headquarters of "Goddess" magazine, a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman was walking back and forth in the office. She was the editor-in-chief of "Goddess" magazine.
The editors standing aside looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything. Although their editor-in-chief looked amiable at ordinary times, once he got angry, he would definitely be at the level of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. So no one dared to say a word, for fear that a word would ignite this moving powder keg.
As for why this happened, it all started with this issue of the magazine. Originally, this issue of "Goddess" was going to invite the current popular female star Duan Pian to shoot the cover. The original appointment time was 10 o'clock in the morning, but until lunchtime, the person still didn't show up.
At this moment, He Miaomiao pushed the door open and walked in, saying to the editor-in-chief with a sullen face, "Editor-in-chief, I just contacted Duan Pian's agent, and she told me that Duan Pian is not feeling well today and may not be able to come."
"Feeling unwell? I don't think she has any intention of coming over." The editor-in-chief was so angry that he wanted to throw things, but then he thought that this was his office and all his things were his. If he broke them, he would have to pay for them and sort them out, so he gave up.
"Alas~"
The editor sighed helplessly. Although he had long known that Duan Pian was well-known in the industry for being a diva, especially after he became famous recently because of a movie, this diva behavior had become even more serious, although he always appeared to be pitiful in public.
The editor originally wanted to use Duan Pian's fame to increase the magazine's sales, but she really didn't expect...
In fact, their shooting plan was scheduled a few days ago, but Duan Pian always used various reasons to shirk it. However, after repeated assurances from Duan Pian's agent, the time was set for this weekend, which is today. Unexpectedly, Duan Pian still did not show up here.
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have looked for Duan Pian. It's all my fault for being too greedy." The editor-in-chief thought helplessly in his heart.
"Don't worry about Duan Pian. If the cover is still not ready today, we'll be in big trouble. Miaomiao, go contact the backup candidate immediately." The editor-in-chief was not panicked. As someone who could reach the position of editor-in-chief, she had experienced all kinds of storms.
But not long after, bad news came again.
Because there is a large fashion show at a certain venue today, all the top models have gone there to participate in the show, and there is also a large car show reported by the "Watch" company today, so there are fewer models again, and there are not many choices for them.
"No, no! None of these will work!"
The editor-in-chief looked at the photos on the screen and kept shaking his head. None of them were good enough. Either they were not pretty enough, or their figures were not good enough, or their temperaments were not good enough. For the perfectionist editor-in-chief, none of them met the standards.
But there is no other way now. If I can’t find anyone, I can only choose from here.
As if she had thought of something, He Miaomiao came up to the editor-in-chief and said to her: "Editor-in-chief, I have a candidate, I wonder if he is suitable~"
He Miaomiao also knew that as the editor-in-chief, she didn't like procrastination, so she decisively sent Ling Ling's photo over.
The editor-in-chief had a deep impression of Ling Ling. After all, Ling Ling could be considered a regular customer of his magazine, not to mention that she was still in high school.
"Do you really think she can do it?" The editor-in-chief looked at Ling Ling's photo and said to He Miaomiao with some doubt. She still had confidence in He Miaomiao's work level and vision, and had even begun to intentionally or unintentionally train He Miaomiao as her successor. Although Ling Ling in the photo did perform very well, she thought she was still a little too young.
"Yeah, this is a little too young~"
"If I remember correctly, Ling Ling has only been in the industry for less than a year. How can you let someone who has only been in the industry for less than a year shoot the cover? Even if you can't find anyone, you can't do this."
"I think that so-and-so is pretty good. He has worked with us so many times."
