Chapter 820 Why So Late?
Her new novel "We’ll Meet Again If Destiny Allows" was about to have a book signing event organized by the publishing house. She was going to meet with the person in charge today to discuss the details in person. She had not wanted to participate, but having already declined twice before, to refuse again would seem ungrateful.
Upon reaching the agreed location, she saw a lady with an elegant demeanor sitting by the window. Luo Qiao walked over and saw her own book "We’ll Meet Again If Destiny Allows" on the table: "Hello, I am Luo Qiao."
The elegant lady put down the book she was holding, stood up, and extended her hand: "Hello, Tiong Qiufeng."
Luo Qiao’s first reaction was that the name didn’t match the lady’s elegance. Tiong Qiufeng might have noticed what Luo Qiao was thinking, as she smiled and explained, "My late grandmother named me.
I was born in autumn, and the generations before me had only boys. My grandmother said I was the phoenix that the Tiong family had been longing for, so she bluntly named me Tiong Qiufeng. I’m just glad she didn’t name me Phoenix."
Luo Qiao’s eyes twinkled with amusement: "It indeed doesn’t match your demeanor, but it’s filled with a deep love from a relative."
Tiong Qiufeng laughed, the first time anyone had interpreted her name that way: "Thank you, you are absolutely right. Please sit, let’s discuss the specifics of the book signing event."
A pot of tea, two people— they talked until dusk, finding more and more in common as they discussed their work, life, and future aspirations, until at last they both smiled and extended their hands: "See you at the book signing event."
