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

Chapter 88 Annual Meeting Invitation

Yu Sijia sat down next to Jiang Lingyu and hugged her.

"Hey, I'm not that fragile," Jiang Lingyu said with a smile. "Actually, I've figured it out. Since this business can't just fall into my lap, I'll fight for it. We'll see who wins in the end."

She takes it all in stride. Aside from the initial period when she suddenly realized she might not be loved as much, which made her a little down, she has now accepted and gotten used to it.

Most people don't have many things from birth; they earn them with their own hands.

Jiang Lingyu doesn't think she can't do what others can do.

Yusjia nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, when the time comes, you'll establish yourself in your research institute, plot a rebellion by the people at Kotei Pharmaceuticals, and lead them back to fight!"

Before You Sijia could finish speaking, Jiang Lingyu nudged her forehead with one of his fingers.

"Do you think you're watching a shonen manga? Turning people into rebels, are you putting on a war here?" Jiang Lingyu said speechlessly.

At this moment, Yu Sijia suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She looked at Jiang Lingyu and said, "Xiaoyu, you wouldn't refuse to date that Xie Yuci because you know you'll fall out with the research institute later?"

Jiang Lingyu was surprised that You Sijia's little brain could make such connections. She rolled her eyes and stuffed a piece of beef that was rumored to be apple-flavored into You Sijia's mouth. "We're just having fun among adults. Why are you thinking so much about it?"

Yu Sijia wanted to say something, but Jiang Lingyu gave her a look, and she immediately shut up.

"Speaking of action manga, how's your manga coming along? I checked it last night, and you haven't updated it yet? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by your readers?" Jiang Lingyu asked, cutting a small piece of beef.

After she finished speaking, she waited for a long time for Yuski's reaction. She turned her head and saw that the young lady who was very excited just a second ago was now dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lingyu waved her hand in front of You Sijia's eyes and said casually, "Don't tell me you forgot."

Yustia mechanically turned her head toward her, her expression looking as if she were about to cry.

Jiang Lingyu paused for a moment. "You haven't really forgotten, have you?"

Yustia: "..."

Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be true.

"You're so happy you've forgotten all about home," Jiang Lingyu said with a smile.

Yuska: "...Actually, it's not?"

She must have been so exhausted that she didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else.

“However, I had taken leave beforehand,” Yustja said. She knew the wedding would be very busy, so she took ten days off.

but……

If you include the honeymoon period, it's probably been almost half a month since the last update.

Jiang Lingyu patted You Sijia on the shoulder, "It's okay. I see a lot of people on your website only update once every ten days or half a month. At worst, you can just work overtime when you get back today?"

Yustia: "..."

Some things are simply best left unmentioned.

Yusjia had just finished her lunch when she received a message on her phone.

As luck would have it, the message came from Ma Zuozuo, her editor at the comic book company.

[Ma Zuozuo: Goodness, are you still on vacation?] Ma Zuozuo is still working overtime today. There's a new event coming up in the comic book industry recently, and she's extremely busy.

If it weren't for this new event, she might have discovered much earlier that her artist, Little Squid, had stopped updating for almost half a month.

[Yusjia: I'm back! I'll update tonight!]

[Ma Zuozuo: That's good. Keep up the good work with updates. The front-end data was great before; stopping updates will affect the data.]

Feeling guilty, Yuska quickly sent a cute little bear emoji.

Ma Zuozuo was working overtime today and contacted You Sijia not only to urge her to update, but also because of something more important.

[Ma Zuozuo: Christmas is just around the corner, and it's almost the end of the year. Every year, our comic book company organizes at least one offline event, and there's a regular year-end gathering for our artists. New and veteran authors come together. Little Squid, do you have any ideas?]

Before Yousijia could reply, Ma Zuozuo sent another message.

[Ma Zuozuo: Also, the year-end event coincides with the newcomer awards ceremony. You've done very well in the newcomer category, and you're very likely to win an award. Our editors will submit the names of promising newcomers. It would be best if you could come to the event; we'll have an on-site awards ceremony. However, if you can't come, we can mail you the trophy if you win.]

[Ma Zuozuo: That's why I still highly recommend you attend the event in person. The website covers your airfare and accommodation. Would you like to consider it?]

It must be said that Yusjia wasn't particularly interested in the year-end events she saw.

She likes to play, but only with people she's familiar with.

In front of acquaintances, I am an E person; in front of strangers, I may be a pure I person, not wanting to say a word.

However, when she saw the editor mention something about a newcomer award, Yu Sijia hesitated a bit.

Receiving the award in person is a completely different experience from receiving a trophy by mail.

It's similar to going to a concert.

Playing a CD is a completely different experience from attending a live concert; the atmosphere and feeling are entirely different.

"What are you looking at? You seem so engrossed?" Jiang Lingyu was still sitting next to You Sijia. Seeing the person next to her holding her phone and looking like she was in a daze, she couldn't help but lean forward and ask.

Yu Sijia didn't hide anything and turned her phone screen directly in front of Jiang Lingyu, "Do you think I should participate?"

Jiang Lingyu glanced at her and immediately understood what she was struggling with.

“Go ahead, what’s there to think about?” Jiang Lingyu said. “You’ve always enjoyed drawing these things, and since you’re going to keep doing it, it’s good to get to know more people in this circle. We can share information later. Even if you don’t go into this industry, you’ll still have to meet all sorts of people if you work. Just think of it as training yourself, it’s not a big deal. If you’re really unhappy, just call me, and I’ll come straight to the venue and pick you up.”

Jiang Lingyu knew You Sijia's personality well. She just didn't like to interact with outsiders. You could say she was introverted and shy, but she wasn't exactly petty. The bigger reason was that she herself didn't want to.

When You Sijia heard Jiang Lingyu's last sentence, she smiled.

"Little Fish, you're so kind!"

Jiang Lingyu: "..."

Yu Sijia picked up her phone and asked where the "annual meeting" event on Ma Zuozuo's website was held.

[Ma Zuozuo: Are you coming? Our head office is in Beijing. If you're coming, send me the flight booking confirmation, and I'll forward it to finance. Reimbursement will be processed within three business days.]
