My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 267 - 4 Qi Da Fei Ou

Although she had plans to open a shop, Lin Xiaoguai was in no rush.

Unlike other recent graduates who were hustling for a future, her life had become more relaxed and leisurely after leaving school.

She wrote articles every day, DIYed for her family, occasionally went outside to paint when she felt inspired, and charged up in the evenings under the guidance of a system master. She was accustomed to and enjoining this slow-paced lifestyle. Now, with a loving and doting husband and a smart and obedient son, the happiness of her family imbued her with a vitality and vibrancy she did not have in her past life.

In her previous life, she was already in her fifties. Despite her youthful and beautiful appearance, her heart had decayed and become barren. Now, she had returned to the beginning, and her once dormant heart was revived.

Her life was splendid; the pains of her past life were gradually receding, and the world in her eyes changed from pale to vibrant and colorful.

Being too happy always brings some unease, hence her desire to do something for the world, even if it’s a modest help, it was her way of showing gratitude.

Ding-ling-ling...

The phone rang, and Lin Xiaoguai answered it: "Hello, this is Lin Xiaoguai."

"Lin Xiaoguai, this is Mr. Liang. I have a question for you: is your pen name Lin Wanwan?"

Lin Xiaoguai paused and then said, "Yes, what’s the problem?" She always wrote a lot but submitted little. Later, Shen Chi, unable to look on, would help her submit her work to different newspapers and magazines according to their genres.

During this time, because of her profound literary skills and seasoned writing style, some publishers contacted her wanting to publish her collections. She didn’t care much about these and left everything to Shen Chi. Eventually, several of her collections were published and, due to their considerable sales, garnered attention from the publishers. Several of her long novels that she held also got the opportunity to be published.

With a heart enriched by two lifetimes and innovative ideas from the future, Lin Xiaoguai’s work undeniably surpassed that of her previous life and even received acclaim from many literary giants, elevating her reputation further; every book she published was a best-seller.

Over the years, before she even realized it, not only had her royalties increased, but her pen name, Lin Wanwan, had also established a significant presence in the literary world as a renowned writer and freelance contributor.

However, with too many books to study in the Book Collection Hall, Lin Xiaoguai hardly had any time or inclination to browse bookstores or seek out the books she had read in her previous life, and publishing matters were all handled by Shen Chi. She wasn’t fully aware of her own reputation.

Thus, when Liang Gaoyi brought this up, she was taken aback before responding.

"You really are Lin Wanwan!?" Although he had anticipated it, Liang Gaoyi couldn’t help but get excited upon confirmation.

He had read Lin Wanwan’s works – the fresh writing style and the seasoned pen made him once believe the author was a wise and life-savvy elderly lady. Now, learning that the writer he had long admired and cherished was his own student, he felt both thrilled and a touch of despair, like the classic feeling of the new waves pushing the old waves of the Yangtze River.

Lin Xiaoguai felt somewhat embarrassed and pursed her lips: "Mr. Liang, did you need something?"

"Oh, yes, the Capital Daily contacted us wanting to invite you to join their newspaper, either as a special contributor or an editor, the choice is yours, and the treatment is the same as a full-time employee," Liang Gaoyi said, unable to hide his excitement. Having a student from his class getting such a good job also made him proud as a former teacher.

"No need, Mr. Liang," Lin Xiaoguai responded without hesitation: "I prefer a free creative environment. If I have pieces suitable for the Capital Daily, I will still submit them, but otherwise, I am not considering it. Please help me to decline their offer."

Liang Gaoyi was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but he respected her choice and after a few more words, hung up the phone.

Shen Chi had gone to the military camp early in the morning; he said that his military rank would likely increase again this time.

Lin Xiaoguai calculated that, compared to his previous life, Shen Chi’s career advancement was much smoother. In her memory, at this age in his previous life, he had just become a Lieutenant Colonel.

This time, Shen Chi might be promoted to Major General.

Unlike before, Shen Chi did not get leave after this mission and was busier than ever. Naturally, this also delayed the search for a storefront, but thankfully, Lin Xiaoguai was not in a hurry.
