As soon as Li Song arrived at the magazine office, he saw Amin coming out of the elevator. Amin looked at Li Song with a complicated expression.

"Come here quickly." Li Song looked at Amin and then realized that Amin was on summer vacation.

“Song…” Amin felt a sense of estrangement from Li Song, and their relationship was no longer as harmonious as before.

“I’m still me. You can still call me Brother Song. I haven’t changed,” Li Song said.

“That’s different…” Amin never expected that the person guiding her writing every Sunday was the famous Third Uncle.

I never expected my third uncle to be so young.

“Nothing’s different. I just don’t want to put pressure on you. Do you think you should study harder if your third uncle is guiding you? Otherwise, you’ll embarrass your third uncle?” Li Song asked as he walked into the magazine office with Amin.

"Mmm." Amin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“I’m not the same. In fact, from my perspective as a writer, immortals are people who have cultivated themselves, so naturally they have the same characteristics as ordinary people. That’s one of the reasons I taught you.”

"Furthermore, I also believe that writing should be market-oriented, that is, writing what people like to read. If it's for the sake of passion, then what will you choose when the market and passion conflict?"

"The magazine has so many employees, and they all need to be paid. Each employee has a family behind them. If a novel that was written well is ruined because of passion, then who will pay the employees' salaries?" Li Song walked through the office area, and everyone nodded to him as a greeting.

Some of these employees knew Amin, such as the legal and finance staff, but others did not.

"Sister, who is this?" As Li Song and Amin entered Li Song's office, someone asked.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Is she a relative of the boss?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

In Li Song's office, Li Song poured Amin a glass of water and said, "Your main task right now is to study. Writing is something you do in your spare time, so I only ask you to write one piece a week. Now is the time for you to read and do more."

When Amin arrived, she was very conflicted, but after seeing Li Song's attitude, she felt much more relaxed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "If I don't write well, will I embarrass you?"

"Haha, that's why I told you to call me Brother Song. My third uncle doesn't take on any apprentices. I was just talking to those editors about how to write historical novels."

"Of course I don't recommend you write it, because writing history requires logic. At the very least, you need to know the names people used to address each other back then, as well as various other things. Your current knowledge base is insufficient."

“Besides, everyone has different strengths. If you can’t write well like this, you can write other types of novels. There are many kinds of novels,” Li Song said.

"Brother Song, will I come again in the future?" Amin nodded when she heard this.

“If you’re willing to come, I’ll teach you; if you’re not, that’s fine too. The most important thing about writing is that you have to enjoy it yourself, so you won’t be bored sitting there,” Li Song said.

"Then I'll try again." Amin was also a little confused, afraid that she wouldn't learn well and would embarrass Li Song.

"You don't need to come this Sunday. I'm giving you a task: go back and read the first chapter of Interstellar Mercenaries, analyze the foreshadowing, and what makes you want to keep reading," Li Song said.

“Mmm, mmm.” Amin nodded.

"Brother Song, actually I'm pretty good at drawing."

“Comics are fine too. If you have any ideas, think about them yourself first, then don’t ask others. Just do it yourself first, and then judge whether it’s good or bad. If it’s good, keep working on it; if it’s bad, fix it. Don’t be timid.” Li Song thought this was a viable approach.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Song." Amin nodded.

“Besides, there’s a huge market for comics. There are comics that kids like, comics that adults like, comics for boys, comics for girls. As long as your comics appeal to a certain group, you’ll be set for life,” Li Song continued. “Thank you, Brother Song. I’ll show you my comics as soon as I finish them.”

"Okay." Li Song nodded.

Then he saw Amin off and went back to talk to the magazine's ghostwriter about historical novels.

Then I let these writing editors come up with their own ideas, write outlines, main themes, and introductions, and then I give them guidance.

When Li Song got off work, he still took Liu Jiale's car to go outside, where He Erge and He Sige picked him up in a sedan.

On July 27, 1980, Li Song saw in the newspapers that the matter of him, Lucas, and Golden Harvest was still being hyped up, and he knew that this matter would not be over anytime soon.

Of course, once the hype died down, that was it. Everyone on Hong Kong Island is very busy. Even if reporters can't find any news, they'll look for other stories because everyone needs to eat. Hong Kong Island is a fast-paced place.

"Brother Song, aren't you going on a business trip?" Ah Lin felt that if Li Song didn't go on a business trip soon, she would have to go home, otherwise she would be ruined.

"I have to go on a business trip next Monday, what's up?" Li Song asked.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you to go out and have some fun sometime. I see you're either at work or at home writing," Arlene quickly said.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Okay." Arlene breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to go home. This place was big and comfortable, and the scenery was beautiful.

"By the way, should I find you a maid?" Li Song asked again.

"Is this ok?"

"Of course, do you want to find it yourself or should I find it for you?" Li Song asked again.

“I’ll find it myself,” Arlene nodded.

"Hmm." Li Song didn't say much, but he felt in his heart that he should buy another house.

Because some things are more convenient for me to do alone.

On July 28, 1980, Li Song returned to Guangzhou with his second and fourth brothers, while his eldest and third brothers returned to Guangzhou the following week and then went back to their hometown.

A month later, the two returned to replace He Erge and He Sige.

Li Song had several color TVs bought for his family, his two uncles, his eldest sister, his second sister, his master, and his master (three TVs in total, as his master has two sons), and one TV for each of his bodyguards.

Back in Guangzhou, Section Chief Zhou and Ma Shengli came to pick them up. After arriving at the factory, Li Song said, "Mr. Ma, Brother Zhou, go to this coordinate on Tuesday the 12th of next month. I will give you the coordinates after your ship arrives. There are Chinese operating instructions on it. You will need about twenty people."

"It's an 8000-ton cargo ship. The ship will lower a rope ladder. Please give me your registered ship number as soon as possible so we can change the hull number when we arrive at the destination."

"In addition, this is the inventory of the cargo ship, which includes some equipment for producing automobiles and some equipment for producing airplanes."

"There are also detailed technical specifications and complete blueprints for the two aircraft."

"As for what you want, there are three in total: a Tomcat, an F-15, a single-seat aircraft, and a two-seat training aircraft, as well as complete materials, technical processes, and blueprints."

"In addition, there are the construction processes and blueprints for aircraft manufacturing plants," Li Song said.
