The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 237: New Heights in Career

Jiang Yan woke up on time with his biological clock, carefully pulling his hand out from under her head. His hand had long been numb from being pressed by her all night, yet he didn’t even frown.

The summer heat was intense, but the early morning air was still a bit cool.

Jiang Yan picked up the small blanket that had somehow fallen to the floor and gently covered her stomach.

After finishing everything, he quietly left the room, and the little wife inside was not affected at all, sleeping soundly.

Jiang Yan went to the kitchen to start breakfast, put red bean and barley porridge in the rice cooker, grabbed a towel and went out for a morning run. On the way, he bought buns, egg crepes, and tea eggs. After returning, he first took a shower, then set the breakfast on the table.

Looking at the time, it was already seven o’clock, he went back to the room again, and when he entered, he saw the little wife had kicked the blanket aside once more.

Jiang Yan leaned forward and called softly, "Miao Miao, time to get up..."

In her sleep, Wang Miaomiao frowned unhappily, buried her face in the pillow, rubbed it slightly, then stretched lazily and opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw her husband looking at her with deep affection, a gentle smile on his handsome face.

Wang Miaomiao smacked her lips slightly and smiled with curved eyes, "Good morning..."

"Good morning." Jiang Yan bent down and kissed her forehead, then leaned his face toward her.

Wang Miaomiao lifted her head slightly and planted a kiss on his cheek with a "smooch".

After their morning kiss, Wang Miaomiao quickly got out of bed, stretched out her hand, and Jiang Yan pulled her up with a gentle force. Wang Miaomiao then hurried to the bathroom to wash and dress.

Jiang Yan always calls her right on time every day, and the two have developed a tacit understanding.

While Wang Miaomiao was washing up, Jiang Yan quickly tidied up the room. After over a decade of military service, he had developed a habit of being unable to tolerate messiness, doing whatever he could at the moment.

After they finished breakfast together, they cleaned up the kitchen, and then Jiang Yan drove her to school.

It was already near the end of June, and the high school entrance exams were approaching. The kids were all working hard. When Wang Miaomiao arrived at the classroom, the students had already started their morning study session, all diligently focused.

Wang Miaomiao made a round in the classroom, saw how earnest the kids were, and then returned to the office. It was the final sprint, and they were putting in their last efforts.

"Teacher Wang, here’s your mail." The mailroom delivered today’s letters, newspapers, and magazines.

Wang Miaomiao took a letter. The address was from the Military District Publishing House. Her second illustrated book, "Silly Boy’s Military Service," had been all finalized last month.

Now her third book was already being published. She had changed her style, creating a detective mystery-type illustrated book, "Little Cop, Big Impact," mainly about a rookie cop straight out of school starting to solve various cases, growing with each unfolding mystery.

Each case in the book was full of twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful, revealing the identity of the criminal with unexpected twists, peeling away layers of mysteries to expose the human nature of good and evil, and the struggle between justice and darkness.

Once sent to the publisher, the book was immediately released and received excellent market feedback, selling out quickly, more prints couldn’t keep up.

Wang Miaomiao wondered if they were rushing her for another draft.

She opened the envelope and took out a remittance slip and a letter.

Wang Miaomiao smiled, happy to receive another substantial income.

After reading the contents of the letter, she was even happier. The letter mentioned that the National August First Film Studio had taken a liking to her second illustrated book, "Silly Boy’s Military Service," and wanted to adapt it into a TV series, asking if she would be willing to collaborate...

Haha...how could she not be willing with such a great opportunity? It’s like a pie falling from the sky...

After finishing a day’s work, Wang Miaomiao walked out of the school gate with a light step and saw Jiang Yan standing in front of the car waiting for her from not far away.

She raised a big smile, waved at him, and dashed towards him.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow; his little wife seemed especially happy today.

Wang Miaomiao ran to Jiang Yan and didn’t intend to stop, throwing herself into his arms and wrapping her arms around his waist, giggling.

Jiang Yan leaned back slightly due to her momentum, counteracting the impact she might have felt from running into him, but he stood firmly in place, providing a steady and safe embrace that was always open for her.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and led her to the passenger seat, opening the car door for her, "What good news has got you so happy? Can you share it with me?"

Wang Miaomiao leaned into the passenger seat under the protective shield of his hand, "Indeed there is good news, hee-hee, get in..."

Jiang Yan smiled and closed the car door for her, then went to the driver’s side, got in the car, started it up, and drove away slowly.

At the school gate, many teachers and students saw this scene—some envied, some offered blessings, and of course, there were naturally those who were jealous and gossiped, unable to see others doing well.

However, Wang Miaomiao didn’t care about their opinions, those who cause trouble as long as they don’t confront her directly, she considers them irrelevant.

She and her husband are legally married, so there’s nothing to fear!

"Hubby, tada...look, what’s this?" Wang Miaomiao waved the letter at him.

"A letter?"

"Yes, do you know what the publisher mentioned in the letter?" Wang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, teasing him.

Jiang Yan played along, smiling, "What?"

"The publisher said the August First Film Studio was interested in my illustrated book ’Silly Boy’s Military Service’ and plans to adapt it into a TV series. What do you think? Is your wife awesome or what?" Wang Miaomiao bragged a little, raising her chin proudly.

Jiang Yan was genuinely happy for her and laughed heartily, "My wife is amazing, really awesome. I’m so proud of you..."

The couple chatted and laughed all the way home quickly, where Wang Miaomiao immediately picked up the phone to call the publisher, saying while dialing, "I wonder if they’ve gotten off work yet."

Lucky enough, the phone only rang twice before being answered, "Hello, this is Wang Miaomiao."

"Oh, Miao Miao! Finally got your call." The editor from the publishing house, Liang Wen, laughed as soon as they heard it was Wang Miaomiao.

The Military District Publishing House and August First Film Studio are both state-owned enterprises, Wang Miaomiao can build good relations with them, and she won’t have to worry about those rogues in the Beijing cultural circle in the future.

Jiang Yan listened attentively to their conversation the whole time, both parties agreed on a time, deciding to go to the August First Film Studio to sign the contract on Sunday.

This was a win-win situation for all three, everyone was pleasant and agreeable. Wang Miaomiao didn’t care much about the royalties, whatever they offered, she accepted without haggling.

The film industry is just in its infancy now, like a newborn baby, still learning to walk while slowly exploring its way forward...

This can be considered an advanced investment.

Everything went smoothly. After the three parties signed the contract, Director Liu from the film studio praised Wang Miaomiao, "Xiao Wang is impressive, your newly released illustrated book, ’Little Cop, Big Impact,’ I also think it shows great potential, keep up the good work, and I look forward to our next collaboration."
