Since the bag next to Zhen Yu was for her painting supplies, Han Mingyue didn’t suspect anything else.
But after taking the damp handkerchief to wipe her face and neck, she ant to return it to Zhen Yu.
However, what she saw was a Zhao character embroidered in the corner of the handkerchief.
"Huh? This handkerchief, why is there a Zhao character embroidered on it?"
As far as Han Mingyue knew, Zhen Yu didn’t seem to know anyone with the surna Zhao!
"Hm?"
Zhen Yu was also puzzled when asked, and upon taking back the handkerchief to see, she realized it was part of the batch of Hundred Family Surnas handkerchiefs she had Su Xuan embroider.
This ’Zhao’ embroidered one was probably on top of the pile.
"Oh! I had these handkerchiefs custom-made, with all the Hundred Family Surnas on them! Plan to sell them at the clothing store!"
"I see!" Han Mingyue nodded her head and said no more.
The next part was much simpler. Guided by the moonlight and street lamps, it took Zhen Yu a full two hours to complete her first portrait drawing spanning two lifetis.
"Okay! You can move now!" Zhen Yu said while packing up her things to Han Mingyue.
But after Han Mingyue moved her hands and feet, she found that her legs had gone numb...
So she couldn’t help but mutter softly, "Ah... I really don’t want to be a model anymore!"
"Don’t worry! From now on, you won’t need to!" Zhen Yu imdiately reassured him.
"Good thing I had the foresight! I wonder how Kang Jian that kid is doing now!"
It was strange for Han Mingyue to suddenly ntion him, Zhen Yu thought. "Him? Didn’t he transfer schools already? Could it be,"
"He’s very likely gone to model."
"Hm?" Zhen Yu stopped her movents in surprise, "Why do you say that? Do you know sothing?"
"That ti when I went to the final round..."
——
"Ha! I really didn’t expect you two to have such an extraordinary encounter!" Zhen Yu, looking at Han Mingyue who had taken off the Hanfu, suddenly asked, "Aren’t you the least bit tempted?"
Han Mingyue shook her head very firmly, "I know what I like! Rather than being watched by people, I prefer quietly writing at ho."
Zhen Yu’s eyes darted around, then she suddenly asked, "What if this opportunity was given to Han Jiaoyang? Would he,"
"I thought about it! But then I gave up on the idea!"
"Why?" Zhen Yu was genuinely puzzled now!
Han Mingyue was silent for a mont as if considering how to phrase her response.
"Because I feel that, if he tried doing those things without even finishing high school, it might not be good for him! Just an intuition!"
"... Actually, you’re right! Education is quite important in our society today! If your brother really becos famous in the future, a well-known superstar! By then people’s first impression when ntioning him would be that he only graduated from junior high! Think about it..."
Han Mingyue imagined that scenario, then couldn’t help but laugh.
"Heh! Seems like I did the right thing not handing out my business card to my family after all!"
Zhen Yu was curious again at this point, "You still have that person’s business card?"
"He gave one."
"Keep it! Maybe it’ll co in handy in the future!"
"Mm!"
——
After organizing all the trademark materials, Zhen Yu suddenly realized that she was facing an old problem!
That is, she hadn’t reached the age of eighteen yet! Therefore, she couldn’t apply for the trademark under her own na!
After hesitating back and forth, Zhen Yu still didn’t hand over the trademark registration authority to Mrs. Bai, instead, she planned to take the materials directly to the Capital! Then let Zhen Yan apply for a parent-child clothing trademark in the Capital...
As for the Hanfu trademark, after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, she planned to let Han Ming apply for a business license for a sole proprietorship and then give him the ’Yueyu’ trademark to apply for!
After all, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket!
The thought that applying for a trademark would also take ti finally made Zhen Yu decide to set off for the Capital.
However, she neither inford Zhen Yan nor Mrs. Zhen!
She just handed the keys over to Bai Xue early and boarded the plane to the Capital alone on a rainy day.
She didn’t have anyone send her off, nor did anyone pick her up at the station!
When Zhen Yu walked out of Capital Airport, she was only wearing a backpack, which contained the draft of the calligraphy manuscript she was about to hand over to Editor Huang.
They had agreed to et at Knowledge Publishing House, so as soon as Zhen Yu left the airport, she took a taxi straight there!
"Hello! Is Editor Huang here?"
"Hello! May I ask who you are..."
The receptionist looked at Zhen Yu, sowhat unsure if she was the person Editor Huang had told them to wait for.
The key was that this girl in front looked too young! Although she was quite tall...
"I’m Zhen Yu!
"Ah, really you?" The receptionist montarily lost her composure but quickly recovered.
"Sorry! Please co in! Editor Huang has been waiting for you!"
"Thank you!" Zhen Yu bowed and then went straight in.
——
Knock knock—
"Ah! Zhen Yu, you’ve finally arrived!" Editor Huang imdiately stood up and greeted her as she saw Zhen Yu through the glass door.
"You probably don’t know yet! The first three volus of our calligraphy book have been on the shelves for a good month! Since it debuted right before sumr vacation, the sales figures have astounded even ! A hundred thousand copies! A whole hundred thousand copies!"
Zhen Yu’s mouth fell open in shock as even she didn’t expect it to sell so many!
"Ah! Look at , I’m so busy talking to you, please co in and have a seat!"
After saying all that, Editor Huang rembered to bring Zhen Yu into the office!
Zhen Yu was also quiet, following her in.
"Did you bring the manuscripts for the last three volus?" As soon as they sat down, Editor Huang went straight to the point and asked.
"I did." Zhen Yu calmly took off her backpack and placed the manuscripts on Editor Huang’s desk.
"Ah! Then sit, sit! Let take a look!"
You could tell! Editor Huang was very excited! So Zhen Yu didn’t disturb her, and sat herself on the guest sofa opposite the desk and quietly waited.
"...Good! Good! The calligraphy is consistently excellent!" After Editor Huang skimd through all the manuscripts, she quickly sat down beside Zhen Yu and said, "Zhen Yu! On behalf of Knowledge Publishing House, I extend a formal invitation to you! We’d like to sign you as our contracted author, what do you think?"
This was like a huge pie falling right out of the sky! Zhen Yu was imdiately dumbfounded!
After several seconds, she ca to and said, "Could you show the contract for a contracted author first? Also, I’ve never signed this kind of contract before! If I don’t understand sothing, may I ask you to explain it to ?"
"Of course! Just one mont..."
