Chapter 164: The Little Foreign Aid

"Brother Yan..."

Qin Hao brought Yang Qing to a publishing house named Qingyun Wendao. After making a phone call in the first-floor lobby, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came downstairs shortly after.

"Xiao Hao, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you almost all morning," Yan Daowen said as he walked up, patted Qin Hao's shoulder, and complained, "You wouldn't even give me a chance to be lazy!"

"Hehe... I was delayed by something."

Qin Hao smiled, then introduced Yang Qing to Yan Daowen, "Yang Qing, my brother-in-law. He's the one who wants to learn scriptwriting. Please take good care of him, Brother Yan."

"Oh! Yang Qing, God Qing, the big celebrity of Yangcheng!"

As if only just noticing Yang Qing, Yan Daowen hurriedly reached out his hand enthusiastically and laughed, "I really like that piano piece of yours! Thank you for making my wife force me to learn yet another skill!"

Yang Qing:......

He didn't know how to respond, so he could only offer an awkward handshake and a dry laugh.

"Brother Yan, speak properly and stop joking around. My brother-in-law is a serious man!" Qin Hao said helplessly.

"As if anyone here isn't a serious man!"

Yan Daowen retorted, then smiled at Yang Qing, "God Qing..."

"No, no, no, Brother Yan, just call me Xiao Yang," Yang Qing interrupted with a wry smile.

"Alright, Xiao Yang, haha, you're not bad," Yan Daowen laughed. "Don't mind me. I get exploited by my heartless boss every day, basically working all year round without a break. Now that Xiao Hao is finally here, I just wanted to vent a little. Don't take it to heart."

"It's fine, it's fine," Yang Qing waved his hand. "Working all year round without a break is indeed a bit excessive. Brother Yan, you can file a complaint with the Labor Security Bureau and get compensation."

"Sigh, forget it," Yan Daowen sighed. "Who told the boss to be my wife? I just have to bear with it."

Yang Qing:......

At this moment, he felt like his brain was about to split open.

Yang Qing turned his head in a dazed manner toward Qin Hao, his face full of silent questioning.

What kind of person did you introduce to me! He's rambling incoherently, is he even reliable?!

Qin Hao also spread his hands helplessly, then patted Yan Daowen's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yan, did you not hear clearly what I called him?"

Yan Daowen replied calmly, "I heard it clearly. I called him brother-in-law. What's wrong? Don't you have a lot of sisters?"

Qin Hao (‵□′): "I only have one sister, Qin Xue! He is my husband, do you understand?!"

"Gulp!"

Yan Daowen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Qing with some suspicion for a long time. Afterward, he gave a dry cough and said with a solemn expression:

"Hello, Yang Qing. I'm Yan Daowen. Nice to meet you."

Yang Qing: π_π

Since you're suddenly being so formal, do I need to shake hands and introduce myself to you all over again? Aren't you tired?!

"Alright, brother-in-law, Brother Yan, let's go over there and sit down to talk. Let's get down to business!"

Qin Hao was also very helpless, but from this, it was clear that his relationship with Yan Daowen was very good, not just a nodding acquaintance.

"Xiao Yang, since you want to learn scriptwriting, do you want to learn film scriptwriting or television drama scriptwriting?"

Getting down to business, Yan Daowen stopped joking and asked Yang Qing directly and straightforwardly.

Yang Qing immediately said, "For now, I'll start with film scriptwriting."

Yan Daowen nodded and said, "Alright then, when shall we start? Today or tomorrow?"

Yang Qing was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's best to start right now. But as for the cost... how is it calculated?"

Hearing this, Yan Daowen glanced at Qin Hao, then smiled and said, "Friend's rate, eight hundred per day. How about it? Can you accept that?"

"Eight hundred a day..."

Yang Qing pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, I'll book five days first!"

"Hehe, five days might not be enough," Yan Daowen smiled. "You have zero foundation, right?"

Yang Qing: "Yeah, let's just do five days for now. If five days aren't enough, I'll renew!"

"Alright, then let's start now. Today's half-day is on me for free, you just need to pay me four hundred for this afternoon."

"Great, sorry to trouble you, Brother Yan."

"Haha, you pay and I work, there's no trouble or no trouble. Let's go, to my office."

Yang Qing: "Um... Xiao Hao, are you coming with me or..."

Qin Hao waved his hand and said, "I have my own errands to run. Brother-in-law, you go with Brother Yan."

"Alright then, drive safely on the way."

"Don't worry, I'm off."

Qin Hao left, and Yang Qing followed Yan Daowen to his office, where he officially began learning film scriptwriting.

Yan Daowen explained things in great detail, and Yang Qing listened very attentively while taking notes in a notebook, just like a student taking class notes.

As he explained, Yan Daowen glanced at the contents of Yang Qing's notebook. Wow, this handwriting... leaves much to be desired, looking like chicken scratches, but the content... actually consists entirely of key points!

He looked at Yang Qing with some surprise, ripples forming in his heart.

"Uh, Brother Yan, what's wrong..."

Seeing Yan Daowen stop, Yang Qing looked up and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, oh, nothing, nothing. Let's continue."

"Yeah, okay..."

...

Inside the small shop, Tan Jin'er was busy when she saw Qin Hao walk in again.

"Eh, Brother Hao, why are you back? Where is Brother Qing?" Tan Jin'er asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law is busy. Um, I want to take Qiu'er and Xi'er out to play. Is that convenient?" Qin Hao asked with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"Take them out to play?" Tan Jin'er was stunned, then smiled and said, "Sure. They're on the second floor, go ahead."

"Yeah, okay."

Qin Hao came to the second floor and saw the three little ones sticking their little bottoms out on the floor playing with toy cars.

"Qiu'er, Xi'er, what are you playing?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

Hearing the sound, the three little ones turned their little heads toward him in unison.

"Hiahia... We're playing ambulance! Oh no, oh no~ the little ambulance is here, little doctor Xi'er is here!"

Little Xi'er pushed her little toy ambulance with her little hands until it slid to his feet.

Qin Hao: (〇_ｏ)

Is the sound effect of your ambulance even proper...

"Brother Hao, why are you back? Where is my brother?"

Little Qiu'er poked her little head out and looked behind him. Not seeing her brother, she couldn't help looking disappointed.

Qin Hao picked up little Dong'er, who was wiggling her little bottom as she walked over, and smiled, "Your brother is busy. Today, Brother Hao is taking you guys to play at the beach. How about that?"

"The beach?!"

The two little ones immediately opened their little mouths in pleasant surprise.

Yangcheng is by the sea, but they had never been to the beach even once.

"Brother Hao, will there be big sharks in the sea?" Little Xi'er asked in a cute, babyish voice. "Awooo awooo... are there big sharks that eat children?"

"Uh... yes, but we won't be able to see them."

"Then are there little dolphins?" Little Qiu'er asked.

"Uh...... if we're lucky, there should be."

"Then... then..."

"Alright, are you guys going to play or not? If you keep asking, it'll be dark soon."

Qin Hao interrupted the two little ones' questions, fearing that these two little toddlers would come up with even more weird and wonderful queries.

"Go!"

"Play!"

"Alright then, hurry up and change into your little clothes, and don't forget to bring your little hats and little water bottles, okay?"

"Mm-hmm..."

Cheering, the two little ones held little Dong'er's little hands and ran into the bedroom to change their clothes. Qin Hao smiled, took out his phone, and made a call.

"Hello, sis, are you sure Xiao Rou is resting at home today?"

"Nonsense! I'm the one who gave Xiao Rou her day off, how could I not be sure!" Qin Xue's exasperated voice came through the receiver. "What do you want?"

"Hehe...... I haven't seen her for so long, I miss her quite a bit, so I want to invite her out for a walk and to clear her head," Qin Hao chuckled.

"You also know it's been a long time since you saw her. Do you think you can actually invite her out?"

"Hehe... I can! I have outside reinforcement."

"Outside reinforcement? Don't mess around. If you make Xiao Rou awkward and put her on the spot, I'll see what you do," Qin Xue's voice sounded speechless and helpless.

"Hehe... don't worry. When she sees my little outside reinforcement, Xiao Rou will definitely be very happy," Qin Hao glanced in the direction of the small bedroom and said with confidence.

"Little outside reinforcement?!" Qin Xue was startled, "You couldn't possibly be..."

"Hehe......"
