Volume 6: Summer Chapter 44 Pineapple Cake
Lin Yu looked at Guan Nuo's pale face and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Do you want to go to the noodle shop next door to eat something first?"
Thinking that Jiang You would not get up for another half an hour, Guan Nuo said, "I'll charge for ten minutes and then go eat."
He pressed the power button, and shortly after the screen lit up, a call came in.
It was Jin Cheng who called.
Guan Nuo picked up the phone, "Hello, yes, it's me, yes, my mother wants to..."
When Guan Nuo answered the phone, Lin Yu walked out.
The yard is full of green.
Lin Yu took out a small hoe from the tool bucket, walked to the flower bed, and dug out the weeds one by one.
…
An hour later, Jiang You successfully struggled out of bed.
He walked downstairs and saw Lin Yu and Guan Nuo, one holding a dustpan and the other holding a broom. They put the shoveled weeds into the dustpan and then poured them into the garbage bag.
Jiang You leaned against the door and greeted them: "Good morning, Xiao Nuo, how are you feeling now?"
Guan Nuo replied while tying the garbage bag, "It's OK, that one." After putting the garbage bag aside, he turned his head to look at Jiang You and asked, "What happened to me yesterday?"
"It's probably not the first time you get used to it."
"What about Brother Liu? It's his first time too." Guan Nuo asked.
"Boyang and this tree are old friends," Jiang You walked to Guan Nuo, "What did you feel after you went in?"
"I heard a lot of sounds, and the sounds seemed to penetrate my body," Guan Nuo recalled. "I felt like I was going to explode, and then, it protected me," he took out three copper coins from his pocket, "and then I didn't know anything."
“It’s the first time, so it’s pretty good.”
"Really?"
"Really? I feel like you've made rapid progress in the past two months?"
" Have you noticed too? I am now..." Guan Nuo paused, and he changed the subject a little stiffly, "Now I am just waiting to get my diploma in school, and my main focus is on cultivation."
"That's right. You will officially start working next month," Jiang You said and yawned. "I slept too late last night. I went to bed at three o'clock. Did you have breakfast?"
"I've eaten. I went to the noodle shop next door."
"Then let's try again next month," Jiang You walked to Guan Nuo, "Don't be too stressed, relax, you can do it."
Guan Nuo assured Jiang You: "I will seize the time to practice."
"Let's have lunch together?" Jiang You asked him.
"No, I want to go to the research institute." Guan Nuo refused.
"The institute doesn't have a holiday on Saturday, right?"
"Jin Cheng is here, so..."
"He's already here?"
"Just arrived. I was going to pick him up..."
"Then go quickly and don't delay your work."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Jiang."
"goodbye."
After Guan Nuo left, Lin Yu asked Jiang You: "The research institute he mentioned is the place I went to last time, right?"
"That's it," Jiang You yawned again, "I'm going to have breakfast, and then..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Nan walking in with a colorful paper bag in his hand.
"Are you cleaning?" Chen Nan saw the broom in Lin Yu's hand.
"After the rain, the grass grows wildly when the sun comes out," Jiang You looked at the bag in Chen Nan's hand, "What is this?"
"Pineapple cakes," Chen Nan handed the paper bag to Jiang You and said, "Try it. Yunyun likes it very much. Is Xiaomo up yet?"
There were two boxes of pineapple cakes in the paper bag. Jiang You took out one box, opened it, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. "It's really good." He brought the box to Lin Yu, "Try it."
"Wait a minute, let me wash my hands." Lin Yu said as he put the broom aside and walked towards the kitchen .
Jiang You and Chen Nan also walked into the store.
Seeing Jiang Youlian eat two pieces, Chen Nan said, "Leave some for Xiaomo."
"There's still one box left," Jiang You stopped, "I didn't have breakfast, luckily Sister Nan thought of me."
"I have something to discuss with you." Chen Nan said.
"What is it?"
"Cheng Ming told me that the Yushui District Cultural Bureau wants to organize a series of lectures on Cultural Street during the summer vacation. This project is funded by the Tangjiang City Cultural Communication Fund."
Jiang You said: "It's a good thing to have a sponsor to pay for it."
Lin Yu walked out of the kitchen with three cups of hot tea. Jiang You took the cups, drank a sip of water, and said, "This pineapple cake is really delicious."
Lin Yu picked up a piece and took a bite.
"Now that Xiao Lin is here, you can just become a hands-off boss." Chen Nan said.
"Not bad, not bad," Jiang You touched another piece of pineapple cake and asked Chen Nan, "Does Cheng Ming plan to let you run this forum?"
"Yes, hasn't Xiao Liu been working on the official account? The previous book signing event was also quite lively. Maybe that's the reason," Chen Nan took a sip of tea. "I also heard some news that it seems that Mr. Xu contributed to it. I went to ask Jiaqi, and Jiaqi told me not to worry and just do a good job on the lecture hall."
"Do you want to do it?" Jiang You asked.
"Of course. Bookstores have very low profits now, but I've never done this," Chen Nan said of her worries. "I don't know anyone in the cultural circle. In the early stages, I will definitely need Mr. Xu's help to make connections. Jiaqi said it was simple, that if you come over to chat, you'll get money and government projects. They all said they would rush to come, but now that they're here, I must treat them well and then achieve some results, right? Themes, booking guests, preparing promotional materials. Oh, and Tangjiang Daily will also publish articles on its official website and public account. There are also requirements for behind-the-scenes footage, videos, etc. There are quite a lot of requirements."
"You've thought about it so carefully."
“I’m afraid of screwing up.”
Jiang You thought for a moment, "You can add Cheng Ming to the project. He must know how the Cultural Street organized the activities before. As for the theme of the first issue, I happen to be visiting Mr. Xu's home. Why don't you come with me? Why don't we just invite Mr. Xu to be the first guest and let him bring one or two friends."
Chen Nan nodded, "Cheng Ming seems to call Mr. Xu uncle."
"That's perfect. As for the venue layout, I think Xiao Liu did a good job last time. Let's leave it to her. As for the filming, video, and publicity, I'll help you find two people. They should be happy with the government project. Let's do it next week. I'll invite Ma Yi and Liu Tianyu to have dinner together next week."
"Then I'll give it a try."
"After your plan is ready, let Mr. Lin give you some guidance," Jiang You pointed at Lin Yu, "Let the former billionaire CEO give you a review. How about that? Are you confident now?"
Chen Nan's expression completely relaxed. "I got it, I got it. You are the smartest one."
"Hurry up and treat Mr. Lin to a meal," Jiang You said, and began to order dishes. "I want to eat fried chicken with chicken mushrooms and steamed pork with rice flour. I want it to be steamed with sweet potatoes instead of potatoes, and fish soup."
