Chapter 41: 100,000 Milestones
Before dawn, Yan Yingzhen was already sitting in her Rolls-Royce Phantom. The driver drove steadily and took her to the headquarters building of Yuanguang Group.
Assistant Xiao Sun has prepared a nutritious breakfast and handed it to Yan Yingzhen on a tray.
Yan Yingzhen pressed her temples with her slender fingers, half-closed her eyes, and waved her left hand.
"Turn on the computer and show me today's arrangements."
Xiao Sun immediately put down the nutritious breakfast, took out the thin and light laptop, opened a document quickly after turning it on, and held it up for Yan Yingzhen to watch.
The heating of the air conditioner made Yan Yingzhen drowsy. She struggled to read the schedule quickly, and glanced out of the car, looking at the city struggling to wake up gradually.
The little light in the sky seemed so oppressive and cold.
Yan Yingzhen retracted her gaze and instructed: "All trips after 4 pm are cancelled. This afternoon is Caiwei's first parent-teacher meeting since she was in elementary school. I have to go by myself."
"But, at 4:30, the leaders of the cultural department came over..." Xiao Sun hesitated.
Yan Yingzhen raised her voice slightly to interrupt her: "I will go to the parents' meeting."
Xiao Sun nodded, accepted silently, and began to think about alternatives.
Seeing that Xiaosun was about to put away the laptop, Yan Yingzhen said, "Don't put it away yet, open the Genesis Chinese website."
Xiao Sun Yiyan put the laptop on her lap, opened the browser, and entered the URL.
Then, without waiting for Yan Yingzhen to speak, he logged into an account, opened the novel "Zhu Xian" from the bookshelf, and held the laptop in front of Yan Yingzhen's eyes.
Yan Yingzhen quietly read the novel. Occasionally reach out to control the touchpad, pull down the page, and turn the page.
After seeing the latest chapter, she closed the web page and said to herself, "It's Tian Linger again, and it's Lu Xueqi again. The characters you wrote are as carefree as you are. Haven't you learned enough?"
The driver and assistant Xiao Sun didn't look as if they didn't hear it.
After a moment of silence, Yan Yingzhen said, "How is the current performance of this book?"
Xiaosun replied: "I went to find out. This book is considered a good grade in the new book, and it has the potential to be a big hit."
Yan Yingzhen looked out the window again, her eyes obviously losing focus.
After a long while, she said: "Tell Shi Kejian, Creation Chinese website should pay attention to discovering potential new writers. "Zhu Xian" is very good, give it a try."
Xiao Sun nodded: "I'll do it right away."
Yan Yingzhen added: "Don't say it was me."
Xiao Sun didn't dare to laugh, but forced a serious face and said, "Understood."
...
In the morning, Du Ranqi came out for breakfast humming a cheerful tune, obviously in a good mood.
Du Caige glanced at her, the lovely younger sister was still so full of energy, and her appearance was attractive, which made Du Caige feel better.
He smiled slightly: "I forgot to mention something yesterday. Although I haven't figured out how to deal with my mother, I will cover my mother's hospitalization and treatment expenses in the future. You used to pay for mother's hospitalization. A lot of private money, right? I will supply you."
Du Ruoqi was stunned and sat down slowly. A bright and sincere smile appeared on her beautiful and unparalleled face, and a little tears flashed in those big bright eyes.
"Why are you crying, eat quickly." Du Caige said.
Du Ranqi picked up a piece of bread with a scrambled egg and took a small bite, filling his mouth with the smell of eggs, wheat, and happiness.
After Du Caige finished eating, he went back to his room and continued to carry the work.
Du Yanqi ate slowly.
She remembered the past.
The second brother has always had a good relationship with her, and has petted her very much since he was a child. Much of her enlightenment education was completed by her second brother. The second brother taught her to read and teach her to recite Tang poems. Many scenes still remain in memory.
However, the second brother became famous and got lost in this Sex and the City.
He moved out and would fight with his dad every time he came home.
And then there's that photography scandal.
Du Yanqi remembered that it was in 2002, and it was almost the end of the year.
She had just passed her 10th birthday at that time. Although her family did not tell her, she learned about it from her classmates.
For a while, she felt that her face was dull, and her parents and eldest brother should feel the same way. The whole family couldn't raise their heads when they walked outside.
After that incident, the second brother withdrew from the entertainment industry, and his personality seemed to have undergone some changes.
At that time, Du Yanqi was already sensible, and she could feel that the second brother was always covered with a haze, and he was slightly alienated from the outside world and everyone.
No matter who you are with, even with your parents, even with yourself, with his good friends, they seem to be separated by a layer, and no one can reach the second brother's heart.
The prominent second brother always wears a mask with a thick smile, but behind the mask, I don't know how many shadows are hidden.
I don't know if that shadow has always existed, or was it caused by a photography scandal?
Many times, I see my second brother smiling softly. But when he looked away, he could hear the second brother's deep sobbing from the bottom of his heart.
And since the incident with the second brother in 2004 and the departure of the bad woman, he has been extremely depressed, and seems to have lost confidence in the whole world and no longer believes in anyone.
She is also hot and cold, and it seems that she no longer favors her.
At that time, she was very afraid, afraid that when she woke up, her second brother had left silently.
Later, at the end of 2006, my parents were trapped and betrayed by people they trusted very much. My father died of a heart attack, and my mother was mentally ill and was hospitalized.
In order to avenge his father, the elder brother injured someone and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
This home fell apart in no time.
At this time, the second brother stood up silently and silently assumed the debts of his parents.
Du Yanqi remembered that he lost all his support at that time, and when he saw his second brother appear, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw and relied on it.
But the second brother behaved very indifferently, ignored her, and didn't care about his mother, and even said that his mother "deserved it".
Angrily, Du Ruoqi swore never to speak to the second brother again, unless the second brother sincerely apologized.
Now, all is over.
The second brother became a lot brighter and brighter.
And started writing songs again.
Although he is not as intimate as he was when he was a child, he can clearly feel the second brother's concern for him.
As for not being so intimate, Du Rongqi can also understand. After all, he has grown up and is a beautiful and radiant girl, and the second brother has to learn to avoid suspicion.
Maybe life will be better in the future.
Although there is no father, but there is still hope for the mother to be cured. In another two years, the big brother will be released.
The second brother also came out of the shadows.
Our family will definitely get better and better.
Du Ruoqi thought happily, the sweet smile always hung on the corner of his mouth and never disappeared.
After breakfast, she packed up the dishes and suddenly found that Du Caige's mobile phone had been left on the dining table.
Du Yanqi picked up the phone and was about to give it to Du Caige. After thinking about it, she turned on the phone first, found the contact "Xiao", and silently memorized the number.
Idiot brother, other coquettish bitches are not suitable for you, only this woman is your good match. Since you don't take the initiative, I can only ask my super invincible beautiful and lovely sister to help.
...
After uploading the latest chapter, Du Caige found out that his novels already have 100,000 collections.
Due to the strong crackdown on piracy, the subscription ratio of online novels in this world is very high. Du Caige slightly estimated his possible income after listing, and found that although it is likely to be difficult to earn 1.5 million per month, but It can definitely reach a very impressive number.
100,000 collections is also a milestone.
Du Caige decided to celebrate.
He knocked on Du Rongqi's door and patiently waited for Du Rongqi to unlock and open the door, as if a beautiful girl came out of the second dimension and said with a smile, "Why?"
"Let's go out for dinner tonight."
"No, I'm going to find friends to play with."
Du Caige lengthened his voice: "Go again?"
The girl explained: "No, I really went to play today."
Du Caige was silent for a while: "Then you usually say going out to play, but what do you actually do?"
The girl was also silent, then stomped her feet: "I want you to take care of it, you don't care about me anyway, you just follow me."
Said to close the door.
Du Caige raised his hand to block her from closing the door, looked at his sister's eyes, and said sternly: "I won't let you spend money, but I believe you are a sensible child and won't spend money arbitrarily. So if you If you are short of money to spend, just tell me. You are a student now, and your task is to study hard. You don’t need to worry about making money. I was wrong for you to worry about your mother’s hospitalization expenses before, and I will never do it again. ."
The girl lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Got it."
