After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 51: Newlywed Diary

Yuska swung her toes as she reached out and tapped the screen.

When she saw who had sent her the message, she suddenly sat up in bed.

Yu Sijia originally thought it was a private message from the editor of "Comic Jungle", but she didn't expect it to be the editor of "Comic" who took the initiative to contact her.

Comic Jungle is a long-established comic magazine, but due to poor sales of its physical copies in recent years, people have become accustomed to reading it online. Many comic magazines have ceased publication, but Comic Jungle, as one of the oldest, has remained strong over the years.

But "Manhua" is completely different.

Although Manhui also produces physical books, the company itself started by creating online comics, and the website is called "manhui".

This is a new website that was built in the last few years. Although it is very young, the website owner is quick-witted, and the pages on both the PC and mobile versions are very smooth with clear navigation. The signed artists each have their own style, and in a short period of time, it has accumulated a lot of loyal users.

Now, it has become a giant in the Chinese animation industry.

[Comic editor Ma Zuozuo: Hello author, would you be interested in joining our comic family?]

Yusjia never imagined that one day she would receive an invitation to become a comic book editor.

She responded immediately.

It's evening in New Zealand now, which is roughly afternoon in the country.

Ma Zuozuo quickly gave You Sijia his WeChat ID, hoping to discuss the details.

Yusi added the other person on WeChat and sent them a bear emoji she had made before.

[Ma Zuozuo: Hi Little Squid, I'm Ma Zuozuo. I actually saw your "Little Bear Friendship" series on Weibo before, I didn't expect you to draw people now. Are you planning to serialize "Newlywed Diary" on Weibo?]

"Newlywed Diary" is the name You Sijia gave to a comic she drew some time ago; it has a very slice-of-life feel. While the storytelling of a webcomic may not be as compelling as that of a full-page comic, it was originally a product of a sudden inspiration from You Sijia.

[Yustya: Yes, that's right.]

[Ma Zuozuo: Do ​​you have an outline for your new work? Or do you have any drafts saved up? Could you show them to me?]

You Sijia actually drew quite a few pictures recently, all of which depicted her interactions with Meng Weiyuan.

It was like when Meng Weiyuan suddenly came to see him with a bouquet of flowers in the morning. He wouldn't say how much time and effort he had spent preparing them, but would just casually say that he saw someone picking flowers to sell by the roadside and bought them on a whim.

Or, when she was tired from taking wedding photos, Meng Weiyuan would magically produce canelés or white chocolate cookies as a reward for her hard work.

These were all small things, but they all left a mark on Yusjia's heart, and she recorded these scenes with a capacitive pen.

Yu Sijia quickly sent the draft to the other person and then honestly replied: "There is no outline for this theme. Originally, I just wanted to draw some heartwarming scenes on Weibo. I didn't think too much about it, so the story is not very strong."

This is why she didn't expect the comic book editor to come looking for her.

Her art style and stories are too slice-of-life, focusing on a heartwarming and healing feel. They could be a standalone book, but not really suitable for serialization. Because the emotional engagement and storytelling aren't strong, readers' anticipation for future installments might be lower.

Ma Zuozuo really likes You Sijia's painting style. Not only are the expressions of the characters depicted extremely vividly, but you can also tell from her brushstrokes that she must have received professional training, rather than being an amateur who learned on her own out of hobby.

[Ma Zuozuo: Our website doesn't really have any works in your style, but I really like them. Are you interested in signing a contract? You could serialize your work on our website. I'll send you the requirements and benefits first. Would you like to consider it?]

[Yuska: Okay! Thank you.]

The other party quickly sent a document.

If a painting is to be signed, the content on the website cannot be serialized on Weibo. However, if the painting is to be updated on the website, the author is required to update it at least weekly, instead of updating it as casually as she did on Weibo before. The website will recommend and promote the painting, and the author will also receive revenue.

Yusjia was very tempted. Without thinking twice, she immediately sent it to the chat box below.

After sending it, You Sijia suddenly realized that she hadn't sent it to the second brother, but to Meng Weiyuan.

Yu Sijia: "..." She was very quick and immediately clicked "recall" after realizing what had happened. However, Meng Weiyuan had already seen it and sent a question mark after seeing that she had recalled a message.

[Yusijia: Oops, I sent it to the wrong person!]

She had no intention of asking Meng Weiyuan for help.

However, Meng Weiyuan seemed not to have seen these words. The other party replied directly, "You can have the other party send the contract first, and I'll take a look at it for you."

When it comes to reviewing contracts, Meng Weiyuan is clearly more experienced than You Kuiqing.

Yuska lay on the bed, tossing and turning, then, with her hair all frizzy, said, "I didn't ask you for help, you know."

Meng Weiyuan sat on the bed and saw the message from You Sijia, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

[Meng Weiyuan: Yes, I want to see it; I'm curious.]

In the other room, Yusjia laughed out loud while holding her phone.

After she replied to Ma Zuozuo's message, Ma Zuozuo sent her the contract.

You Sijia forwarded it to Meng Weiyuan.

The contract from the comic book company was considered fair in the industry, with no unfair terms. Meng Weiyuan only replied to You Sijia after confirming that there were no problems with the contract.

[Meng Weiyuan: No problem, sign it. Congratulations, Teacher You.]

Even if any problems arise later, Meng Weiyuan is confident that the Ministry of Justice can handle them.

Presumably Yu Sijia was busy with work, so Meng Weiyuan did not receive a response immediately after sending the message.

Meng Weiyuan opened his phone and made two calls.

It's too late now, so he can only make some of his plans in China.

Yu Sijia was indeed very excited. After signing the contract, she immediately announced the good news in her small group chat with Yu Kuiqing and Jiang Lingyu.

This is the first time Yuska has spoken up in the group since the last time she took boudoir wedding photos in Tahiti.

The first person to reply to her was You Kuiqing.

[Yu Kui-ching: You just signed a contract with a website so casually?]

News of Jiang Lingyu followed.

[Jiang Lingyu: You didn't even ask us to take a look? You Sijia, you've gotten bolder now. Is there anything wrong with the contract? Send it to me now so I can take a look. Contracts like yours should still be reviewed by the website's specialists. Before it's stamped, I advise you not to be so impulsive.]

Yusijia looked at the two messages in the group and chuckled.

[You Sijia: No problem! Meng Weiyuan has already checked it for me!]

The remaining two people in the group sent out a long string of question marks one after the other.

Small Theater —

Years later, You Sijia and Meng Weiyuan looked through their wedding photos.

Yuska sighed: "It really cost a lot of money back then!"
Meng Weiyuan: Hmm?
Yusjia: The author spent 1000 ink points to release it, which she had painstakingly accumulated since signing the contract! And now it's all gone!

Meng Weiyuan: ...

(Actually, I wanted to write a short skit yesterday, but I ended up spending ink on a pre-approval process. This approval process is terrible! If I have to make changes, I have to spend ink again. I don't know why they set up such a hurdle to make things difficult for me! It's infuriating!)
Because I was reviewed the day before yesterday, I didn't even see myself on PK2. I'm begging you all to keep reading! And please vote for me! Love you all! *kiss*
