The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 449 Double Happiness

Chapter 449 Double Happiness

After comforting the two dogs, Li Qin quickly went to the phone and picked up the ringing phone.

"Hello!"

At that time, telephones did not have caller ID, so Li Qin did not know who was calling him.

But I imagine it's just a few people;

It's either the law firm or the newspaper.

Because only a handful of people know his phone number.

"Hello Mr. Li, this is Huang Wen from Ta Kung Pao!"

Upon answering the call, Li Qin immediately heard a familiar voice.

However, it was Huang Wen, the manager of the editorial department of Ta Kung Pao.

After learning the other party's identity, Li Qin immediately smiled and asked:

"I wonder what brings Manager Huang to call me at this hour? Or is there some good news to tell me?"

Li Qin had a guess about the purpose of Manager Huang's call, but he needed to wait for confirmation from the other party.

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Huang Wen dared not keep him in suspense and said directly:

"Mr. Li, I'm calling to inform you that your novel will officially begin serialization in Ta Kung Pao tomorrow."

Although Li Qin had guessed that the other party might have called about this matter, he was now completely certain.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Qin's face.

He knew there would be no problem with his novel being published, but he couldn't be sure exactly when it would start appearing in Ta Kung Pao.

Unless Li Qin uses the spell again to alter the memories of the newspaper's senior management.

However, doing so would increase the likelihood of leaving a flaw.

This is somewhat counterproductive for Li Qin, who has always sought stability.

It was precisely because of this that the novel was not serialized after the contract was signed with the newspaper, and Li Qin felt a little anxious.

But they didn't do anything; instead, they chose to wait patiently.

Fortunately, Ta Kung Pao didn't make him wait too long, and the publication of the novel was finally finalized.

"Thank you, Manager Huang. I understand. I'll leave the publication of the novel to you from now on."

Li Qin was in a good mood and didn't mind exchanging a few polite words with the other party.

However, Li Qin's politeness made Manager Huang feel somewhat uneasy.

Ever since Ta Kung Pao unanimously passed the reform agenda because of Li Qin alone, Manager Huang has held Li Qin in great awe.

Therefore, upon hearing Li Qin's words, Manager Huang quickly replied:

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. This is just what I should do."

Li Qin noticed the other person's restraint and didn't try to keep them chatting. After exchanging a few words, he hung up the phone.

Li Qin's face was full of joy as he hung up the phone.

However, a good mood cannot replace food. It was almost lunchtime, and Li Qin was not in a hurry to return to Beijing.

Anyway, it's a holiday today, and he had already told Xu Damao in advance.

He could have stayed in Hong Kong until evening before going back.

Li Qin first used a life spell to activate the apartment kitchen, making it prepare lunch for him, and then sat down with his two pets in their usual spot.

When he was at the apartment, he often chose to sit on the lounge chair in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

I sip tea, read a book, and watch the scenery outside the window.

But sometimes, things just happen by chance.

Just as Li Qin was playing with his pet and waiting for lunch, the phone rang again.

"Ring ring! Ring ring!"

A look of surprise flashed across Li Qin's face.

"Hey, today is really strange. Usually, almost no one contacts me, but today they're contacting me one after another."

Despite his doubts, Li Qin walked straight to the phone.

"Hello!"

Li Qin picked up the phone casually.

The next second, Li Qin heard a male voice coming from the phone, and it was also the voice of an acquaintance;

"Hello Mr. Li, I am Lin Ping from Wenhui Daily."

A glint of light flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

The person who called earlier was Manager Huang from Ta Kung Pao, but this time it was Manager Lin from Wen Wei Po.

I suppose the other party's purpose in contacting me this time is the same as that of Manager Huang from before.

Of course, these are all just Li Qin's guesses and need to be further confirmed.

Thinking of this, Li Qin immediately smiled and said:

"Oh, it's Manager Lin. What brings you here?"

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Lin Ping on the other end of the phone immediately replied:

"Mr. Li, the novel we agreed on will be officially published in Wenhui Daily starting tomorrow. I thought I should let you know."

Upon hearing this, Li Qin's face flashed with an expression of "I knew it."

Although it was a bit late, the day had finally come, and strictly speaking, the time he had been waiting for wasn't too long.

Now that the serialization schedule has finally been confirmed, Li Qin is quite happy.

He then smiled and said:

"Thank you for letting me know this, Manager Lin. I'll leave the rest to you."

Lin Ping chose to contact Li Qin by phone to inform him of the news in order to gain favor with Li Qin.

Now, hearing Li Qin's words, Lin Ping was satisfied.

The two exchanged a few polite words and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qin sat back down in the recliner.

At this moment, a look of doubt flashed across Li Qin's face.

"The reason why Ta Kung Pao is only starting to serialize my novel tomorrow is because Ta Kung Pao did not have a novel column before."

I made some special reforms to serialize my novel, which required time for adjustments, so why has Wenhui Daily also delayed it until now?

For a newspaper like Ta Kung Pao, making reforms to its content layout is not something that can be done simply by saying a few words.

There are quite a few things involved.

Although Li Qin wasn't entirely clear on the details, he knew that it involved quite a few people and events.

Therefore, Li Qin was not surprised at all that the serialization of the novel was not finalized until today.

But Wenhui Daily is different;

Wenhui Daily has a fiction column, so it shouldn't have been difficult for him to publish his novel.

But the situation has dragged on until today.

Li Qin was also somewhat confused about what had happened.

Of course, Li Qin did not suspect that Wenhui Daily had not paid attention to his novel; he believed there must be a reason.

In fact it is.

Wenhui Daily does have a fiction column, but since there was already a novel being serialized, it will now be replaced with a novel by Li Qin.

Naturally, the matter of those serialized novels needs to be dealt with properly.

The key is not to let these things affect Wenhui Daily.

This is the real challenge.

Fortunately, Wen Wei Po holds a significant position in Hong Kong, and its sincerity was evident, which is why all these matters were successfully resolved.

Once these matters were settled, Wenhui Daily immediately began preparing to serialize Li Qin's novel.

That's why it took so long.

Although the novel was published a little later than Li Qin had initially planned, and serialization began later, Li Qin was already satisfied.

From now on, he should not need to worry about the power of emotions for a long time.
