"I’ve been switching to the female genre in recent years," Zuri Ginger interjected.
"That’s not important," Bob Ginger hurriedly continued, "The main thing is he writes very well, I really like him, and my sister invited him to a book signing event together..."
"Pfft!" Mia Ginger spat water onto the dining table.
Luckily, there weren’t many dishes in front of her, and she hurriedly grabbed a napkin to wipe it up messily.
She instinctively glanced at Zuri Ginger.
The sister Bob mentioned obviously couldn’t be her, it must be Zuri Ginger.
Zuri Ginger invited her to a book signing event?
How come she hasn’t heard a word about it?!
Mia Ginger was lost in thought as she bent down to throw the napkin into the trash bin.
She tilted her head to glance at her, and Zuri Ginger couldn’t help but curve her lips slightly, feeling quite pleased.
Bob Ginger was quite active as a child, loved playing with plastic toys, and got into martial arts novels and online games in recent years, with "Wine" being his favorite. She was quite clear about that.
Her novel is being reprinted, and there’s a book signing event at the end of October.
While chatting casually with her editor, she learned that "Wine" was about to publish its first short story collection.
An idea came to her mind about inviting "Wine" to a joint signing event.
An attempt to win Bob Ginger over naturally.
Bob had been leaning noticeably towards Mia Ginger these past few days, and of course, she couldn’t stand that.
Even though she hadn’t received a response from "Wine," and nothing was confirmed, she couldn’t wait to tell Bob Ginger.
Needless to say, she was very satisfied now.
Seeing Mia Ginger’s surprise upon hearing about the signing event, she was positively smug about her envy and jealousy!
Zuri Ginger’s lips curled up as she saw Aiden Jiang and Charlotte Chester arriving, and she cheerfully said, "Look at how excited you are, having a book signing isn’t a big deal. I’ve already received definite news today—the script adapted from the novel has gotten approval to start filming, and once it’s shot, it’ll be on TV. I’m one of the screenwriters."
"Really?" Charlotte Chester was momentarily stunned but then laughed first, "That’s great news, definitely something to be proud of."
"Isn’t it?" Aiden Jiang also smiled immediately, "That’s really nice, quite an unexpected joy. You’re about to graduate and majoring in Chinese Literature, this achievement will definitely help with your career. Don’t get cocky, keep working hard."
"I know, Dad," Zuri Ginger smiled warmly.
Bob Ginger cautiously glanced at Mia Ginger and then smiled at Zuri Ginger, "Congratulations, Sis, remember to take me to the set when that happens."
"All you know is playing around."
"Hehe." Bob Ginger scratched his head.
"Congratulations, Sis," Mia Ginger wasn’t stingy with her smile and curiously asked, "Which novel is it?"
"Well," Zuri Ginger laughed, "you probably haven’t read it."
"But it must have a name, right?" Mia Ginger picked a slice of cucumber, lowered her head, and slowly chewed.
"It was called ’Marriage by Accident’ when serialized online, and after publishing, it was renamed ’The Most Beautiful Years,’ which is also the TV show title."
"’The Most Beautiful Years’?" Mia Ginger smiled, "I know it; the female lead’s name is Harris Sutton, right? I’ve read it. The plot is pretty cliché, but it gets better later on with a nice twist."
"Cliché?" Zuri Ginger’s smile dimmed, showing clear displeasure.
"Isn’t it?" Mia Ginger paused mid-action, looked at her earnestly with an innocent smile, "The heroine whose best friend steals her love goes out drinking and accidentally ends up with the male lead, with a reluctant marriage due to an unexpected pregnancy. Weren’t most female web novels a few years ago?"
