Chapter 215: So Is This The Type Of Novel That Chu Xia Writes?
Since replying through WeChat and looking for where the information would arrive at the same results, Su Yang replied, “Which house are you at?”
Tang Xiaomi directly sent a location to Su Yang with WeChat.
Su Yang had a look at the address and saw that it was the ten million dollar house on The Bund. It wasn’t far away and was just a subway ride away.
Because of the two million in debt, Su Yang was still relatively thrifty.
While he was on the way, Su Yang’s other friends replied one after another as well.
Qu Xuan wrote — [Chairman, can’t you find a rich second-generation wealthy girlfriend, ask her parents to lend it to you? I’ve got a good candidate right here! She’s good-looking, well-educated, has a good family, and has no faults aside from being a bit... a bit... short.]
[What do you think? Do you want to consider her?]
Su Yang didn’t hesitate to reply — [Forget it, Xiaoming. I don’t want to sell my body for the 2,000,000 yet.]
Honestly, Su Yang always felt that what Qu Xiaoming’s said was suitable for use on an ad targeting wealthy folk who wanted to ‘buy’ a son-in-law.
Not long after Qu Xuan replied, Qu Xiaomeng replied as well — [Watch more American dramas.]
Just when Su Yang was pondering what watching American dramas had to do with making two million dollars, Qu Xiaomeng replied again — [After watching it, you’ll realize that making money isn’t that simple. Think about the two sisters in 2 Broke Girls, who saved dollar after dollar and are still broke even after the sixth season. So you’d better get down and learn...]
‘Blah blah blah, a bunch of nonsense again.’
Su Yang silently blocked Qu Xiaomeng again, thinking that he shouldn’t have re-added this girl in the first place.
Carrie Lin suggested — [How about shooting your own movie? I’ve heard that big network movies are very lucrative now. They usually take a week to shoot and edit before they’re ready to go online.]
Su Yang chuckled. ‘She definitely wants to be the female lead.’
He didn’t know anything about the entertainment industry, even if he had some post-production skills, he didn’t know anything about filming. Any day where he didn’t lose all of his money was considered a good day.
After chatting with a few friends, Su Yang went to Tang Jing’s home at Luxiang Garden.
Looking at this bunh of mansions standing on the edge of the Bund that was each worth no less than ten million, Su Yang once again felt that he was still very insignificant. However, after a few years, he should have enough savings to buy a house of his own in Shanghai!
As he greeted the familiar security guard, Su Yang stepped into Luxiang Garden.
It was easy to arrive at the door of Tang Jing’s unit. Su Yang pressed the door number of Tang Jing, and before the monitor was even displayed, the door of the unit opened by itself. That little girl Tang Xiaomi probably pressed it in advance.
After getting onto the elevator and arriving at Tang Jing’s house, he saw an already open door with Tang Xiaomi smiling adorably while standing in the doorway waving at Su Yang. “Su Yang! Su Yang!”
Su Yang greeted her with a smile and stroked her head. “Xiaomi, have you been good lately?”
Tang Xiaomi smiled like a brilliant flower. “Of course.”
Entering the house, Su Yang found a book buckled on the coffee table in the living room, and it seemed that Tang Xiaomi was just reading a book.
Su Yang changed his shoes and led Tang Xiaomi to the living room and asked, “Why aren’t you in kindergarten today?”
Tang Xiaomi said with an angry smile, “I made the classmate next to my table cry, so I’m in solitary confinement at home.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘This messed-up little devil...’
Su Yang asked, “How did you make him cry?”
Tang Xiaomi laid her top half on Su Yang’s body, exaggerating her movements. “I didn’t really provoke him. It’s just that my deskmate always wipes his eyes secretly so I asked him what was wrong. He said he missed his parents.”
“Then, I asked him what he missed. Then I suggested that they probably didn’t want him anymore.”
Su Yang’s jaw gaped.
Su Yang pinched the little thing’s nose, feeling that this obnoxious kid really acted like him.
After both of them finished chatting, Su Yang raised his head just to see the book on the table. The first time he saw the title, Su Yang was stunned. “10 Ways to Make Your Mother Angry”.
‘The title of the book...’
Su Yang looked at Tang Xiaomi and as she looked back at him, she giggled. ‘I wonder what this silly kid is so happy about...’
Su Yang touched her head, picked up the book and asked, “What’s going on here?”
Tang Xiaomi trailed off, “My mommy bought it for me. She wanted me to read it.”
Su Yang was even more surprised now. ‘I didn’t think that Tang Jing still had masochistic tendencies. She’d actually let the child read such things.’
Tang Xiaomi looked at Su Yang’s expression to know what Su Yang was thinking and patted his shoulders with her little hands as she said maturely, “What are you thinking, Su Yang? This book is just to coax children.”
Su Yang was confused. “Why?”
Tang Xiaomi replied, “The title of the book is ’10 Ways to Make Your Mom Angry’, but it’s written from her point of view to make us feel how annoying we are in our own way.”
Tang Xiaomi spread her hands wide as she continued explaining, “That, and the ending has to be reversed! It actually says that if you want to make your mom happy, you’d have to do the opposite. Pfft, this is the kind of book where if you read the beginning, you’ll know what the end is.”
Su Yang was rendered utterly speechless.
I knew the method of educating kids here in the city was complicated, but never would I have thought there was such a method available.
Tang Xiaomi smiled, chuckled, then took out her phone. “Here’s a good novel that’s written in an interesting way.”
Saying that, Tang Xiaomi looked at Su Yang and smiled in an even more sinister manner. “The name of the man is actually the same as yours.”
“Say what?” Su Yang smoothly picked up Tang Xiaomi. “It’s just an ordinary women’s fiction novel that has a strong female crossover genre. It’s about a college student who traveled back to ancient times. Originally, she thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family, enjoying the glory and money that came with it. However, she didn’t expect that her family’s empire would fall apart and she would be the one responsible for the debts to countless foreign entities.
“Forced to carry the corpse of a collapsed family on her back, she buys time to repay the debt. Then, she used modern technology to lead her family to recovery.”
“The woman in this book is amazing.” Tang Xiaomi was starry-eyed. “She developed a textile machine along with many other products that propelled her and her generation into a conglomerate of business behemoths.”
Su Yang flipped through the book and noticed the name of the book. “Cherish Chu Yao.” Chu Yao was the name of the female main character.
Su Yang questioned, “Uhh... What about me? Nope. What about the man?”
As she spoke of the male character, Tang Xiaomi began with a disgusted face. “The male character was a superfluous son-in-law who originally joined the family for the female character’s family background. As a result, when the female character’s family fell from grace, he began looking for an opportunity to break away from the Chu Family.
“Although the female main character was domineering, abdominal, and cold, she completely doted on this superfluous son-in-law. Although he knew nothing and wasn’t anyone important, he still wanted to leave the Chu Family. However, the female character loved him so she didn’t let him go.”
“So the whole story was about the process of the female character starting a business while disciplining the male character.”
Su Yang was speechless yet again.
‘Does it sound like me? What nonsense. Why is the male character who has a similar name to me painted in such a bad light?
‘Huh?
‘Chu Yao? Chu Xia?
‘Why did it sound like there was some kind of similarity there?’
Su Yang looked at the author’s name. “Xia Yutian.”
‘Hmm... What a stupid name.’
Still... It really felt like Chu Xia.
It couldn’t possibly be written by Chu Xia, right?
Su Yang silently wrote down the title of the book and was planning to ask Chu Xia later on.
He asked, “This kind of story that only has two protagonists probably doesn’t rank that well, right?”
Tang Xiaomi shot Su Yang a confused look. “How did you know?”
Su Yang smiled proudly. ‘How can a novel with two main protagonists rank well?’
Tang Xiaomi continued with an exasperated face. “This book doesn’t rank badly! We vote daily and yet, the best we can do is come in second but not first! It’s simply pissing us off!”
Su Yang was speechless.
This little brat was so good at upsetting others.
Tang Xiaomi clearly sensed Su Yang’s unhappiness so she winked at Su Yang before proudly holding her head high.
Su Yang rapped her on her little head. “Silly girl.”
Tang Xiaomi covered her forehead in pain. “I hate it! Stop knocking me, I’m not silly.”
Su Yang replied, “You’re already silly to begin with.”
Tang Xiaomi replied unhappily, “How am I silly?! I can help you figure out how to get that 2,000,000 yuan!”
Su Yang looked at her in surprise. “Really? Have you figured out a way?”
After that, Su Yang looked at her warily. “If you’re going to tell me how much you want me to put into your PayPal again, I’ll knock you on your head so hard you’ll die!”
Tang Xiaomi cocked her head. “I’m not the little girl I was back then! I’m thinking of a real idea.”
Seeing Tang Xiaomi who was rarely serious acting like this for once, Su Yang asked, “What idea?”
