Lan Yujuan stood at the door, lost in thought for a long time.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" The little one rubbed his eyes and woke up, hugging her neck.

"Are you home yet?"

Lan Yujuan only snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound.

He began to regain feeling in his limbs, and his hands, which were holding his daughter, were so tired that they were almost numb.

"Yes, we're home," Lan Yujuan replied softly with a faint smile.

Upon hearing that they were home, the little guy struggled to get down from the ground, yawning and rubbing his tummy as he said:

"It smells so good! It's making me hungry!"

Lan Yujuan put down her bag, changed her shoes, and then turned on the light and went inside.

Following the aroma, I looked over and found the dining table laden with delicious food, all of which were dishes the family loved.

However, the food has been cooked for a while now, and it's almost cold.

Looking at the table full of food, Lan Yujuan's eyes welled up with tears. She tried to compose herself and, appearing calm, said to her daughter:

"Let's go wash our hands and get ready for dinner!"

After dinner, Lan Yujuan played with her daughter for a while before telling her a story to lull her to sleep.

After her daughter fell asleep, she tiptoed back to the small study on the balcony of the master bedroom and turned on the desk lamp and computer.

Her first short drama script, the first thirty episodes, has been successfully completed.

The editor-in-chief she was dealing with was very reliable. After receiving the email confirming the manuscript's acceptance, she indeed received the first payment of 10,000 yuan within three working days, just as stated in the contract.

Because she is still a novice screenwriter, her script fees are not high compared to those of experienced screenwriters in the same industry.

The entire script, once completed, will have at least 80 episodes. The pre-tax fee is 30,000 yuan, which is a guaranteed minimum plus revenue sharing model.

The first 10 episodes will be approved and a contract will be signed. The first payment will be made after the first 30 episodes are approved. The remaining 20,000 yuan will be settled within half a month after the final draft is approved.

If the script is successfully filmed and released online, the novice screenwriter can receive a 10% share after breaking the minimum guarantee.

Lan Yujuan opened her notebook while referring to the typing document.

The entire story had been polished in her mind for many days, and the outline and summary had been detailed in her notebook.

All she needs to do in the remaining time is to finish writing the remaining 50 episodes as soon as possible, submit the manuscript, and wait for review.

Lan Yujuan plans to focus intently on completing the series in about ten episodes over the next five days.

I write novels in the morning, work during the day, and write screenplays when I get home at night.

Her days are always packed with activities!

She was so busy that once she started working, she basically had no time to think about anything else or other people.

After finishing her work for the day, she would wash up and go back to her bedroom, where she would fall asleep immediately.

The next morning, she simply couldn't wake up without being reminded by more than three alarm clocks.

These hectic days lasted for five days after Chen Mo went on her business trip.

It wasn't until late on the fifth day, when she wrote the words "The End" at the end of the final episode of the script, that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure at work was immediately reduced by half.

However, the time not filled with work suddenly felt empty and boring.

After dinner, the little guy sat on the sofa watching cartoons, looking rather listless.

Lan Yujuan lay on the sofa, holding her phone, feeling utterly bored.

She opened her favorite Tomato Novel app and searched through the library, but couldn't find the novel she wanted.

After putting down my phone, I didn't know what else I could do.

"Mommy, I miss Daddy," the little girl next to me suddenly pouted and whispered.

"Dad's been away on a business trip for almost a week now, why isn't he back yet?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan sighed softly.

Then he changed his position on the sofa, curled up with his arms around his knees, and tilted his head to discuss with his daughter:

"Then tell me, what should you do if you miss your dad?"

The little guy immediately turned off the tablet, turned his head, and said with bright, sparkling eyes:

"How about we go to Beijing and bring Dad back?"

"Mom, didn't you say that we could go to Beijing once you finished your work?"

Lan Yujuan cleared her throat and nervously began to cough tactfully, "Cough, cough!"

"Um...did I say that?"

The little guy stared at her, his mouth starting to pout again, and his bright eyes gradually dimmed.

Lan Yujuan realized things were going badly and immediately changed her mind.

"Mom remembers! I do think I said something similar."

"However, although Mom has finished writing the script, she still has some other work to do and may not be able to get away for the time being."

"Or, why don't you ask your mother to mediate again?"

"Maybe Dad will come back from his business trip tomorrow without us having to go to Beijing to pick him up?"

The little one tilted his head and thought for a moment, seemingly agreeing with his mother's words. He then rubbed his little nose and said with a pitiful expression:

"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."

After saying that, she picked up the tablet again, frowning slightly as she continued watching cartoons.

Lan Yujuan wiped her forehead and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

This little guy is getting harder to fool as he gets older.

The key is that I might forget the promises I casually made as soon as I turn around, but this little guy remembers them clearly, which is really a headache.

Just as she was lying on the sofa in a daze, hesitating whether to watch TV for a while, her phone, which was next to her, suddenly vibrated.

Lan Yujuan picked up her phone casually and glanced at it.

"Are you free now?" This message was sent by the editor-in-chief who was guiding her in writing the script.

Upon seeing the message, Lan Yujuan immediately sat up straight, held the phone in both hands, and began to reply solemnly.

"some."

Soon after, the other side sent a string of messages:

"I've read the rest of the script, and it's generally good, but there are a few details that might need some retouching before filming starts."

"The day after tomorrow is Sunday, and we will organize a simple internal reading session for this script."

"The director and lead actors for this drama have been cast, and filming is scheduled to begin next week."

"Would you be interested in coming to Beijing to participate in this script reading session?"

"Don't worry, round-trip airfare, hotel, and accommodation will all be covered here."

After reading this information, Lan Yujuan's mind went blank with excitement, as if she were about to explode.

Unexpectedly, they were just considering whether to take advantage of their free time to go to Beijing.

She was immediately offered a new screenwriting job.

Lan Yujuan was eager to agree immediately.

However, when she looked up and saw her daughter beside her, she hesitated instantly.

If I go to Beijing for work, it will be inconvenient to bring my daughter with me.

But since the child was born, the mother and daughter have never been separated.

In addition, the little guy has been looking forward to going to Beijing.

If I leave my daughter at home while I go on a business trip, the little one will probably be extremely disappointed.

Just as she was repeatedly typing and deleting, unable to decide on a reply, the other end suddenly sent a message:

"If it's convenient, you can bring your children to visit the film set!"
