On a balcony on the second floor, Sun Quan was sitting in front of a round table. On the round table was his laptop, the screen was on, and he was typing.
Different from usual, he moved his computer to the balcony tonight for no other reason than to breathe in the fresh air outside and occasionally take a look at the starry sky at night.
Sitting on the balcony typing is no different from typing outdoors. The air is really fresh, and of course it is a bit chilly, even though it is already May.
He had a coat draped over his shoulders, and a can of beer was placed next to his computer. Tonight he went to eat hot pot alone without drinking, but when he came back to code, he opened a can.
When eating hot pot, he didn't drink because he drove there.
After I came back, I just stayed at home alone when I was drinking. I felt a little lonely, so I thought about drinking some wine while coding. After tonight's coding is finished, maybe with a little bit of alcohol, I can be very good at it.
fall asleep quickly,
Life! You have to find some flavor for yourself.
Not long after, when one chapter of the manuscript was almost finished coding, Yuan Shuiqing sent a video request.
He casually clicked "Accept" and the video was connected.
In the video, Yuan Shuiqing was sitting on the bedside. When the video was connected, she frowned and asked: "Why is it so dark over there? I can't see you clearly!"
Sun Quan continued to code in his hand and replied casually: "It's hide and seek! Come on! Try to find me as soon as possible!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "..."
Rolling her eyes speechlessly, she asked: "Didn't you turn on the light in your study?"
Sun Quan: "Yeah!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "Open it! Video, I can't see you, what video are you watching?"
Sun Quan: "Even if I open it, you still can't see me!"
As he spoke, he was still coding with his hands, but the speed of coding was a little slower.
Yuan Shuiqing: "Can you become invisible? If you turn on the light, I still can't see you?"
Sun Quan: "Haha, I'm not in the study. How can you see me if you turn on the light in the study?"
Yuan Shuiqing blinked, "Then where are you?"
Sun Quan: "Guess!"
If Yuan Shuiqing was by his side at this time, he would probably have been slapped in the face. These words were too irritating.
After another period of silence, she asked: "Where are you?"
Sun Quan: “It’s on the balcony!”
Yuan Shuiqing looked a little confused, "What are you doing on the balcony?"
Sun Quan: "Code words!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "Why do you go to the balcony to write?"
Sun Quan: "Why can't you code on the balcony?"
Yuan Shuiqing curled her lips slightly, "Are you sure you are at home now? You're not outside, right?"
Sun Quan: "Of course I'm not at home!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "Haha, let me tell you! Where are you? A hotel?"
Sun Quan: "No!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "It's not a hotel? Then where are you video chatting with me? Aren't you using a computer to video chat with me?"
Sun Quan: "I'm using a computer!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "..."
After another period of silence, Yuan Shuiqing asked: "Then where are you?"
Sun Quan: "I'm on the balcony!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "..."
Yuan Shuiqing: "Didn't you just say that you were not at home?"
Sun Quan: "That's right! The balcony counts as outside, not at home, right?"
…
The two of them chatted in such a useless way for a long time, and during this period, Sun Quan kept typing words with his hands, chatting with her sentence by sentence. Occasionally, he glanced at the scene in the video, and saw his daughter Sun Jiexi's heart crawling.
When he came to Yuan Shuiqing's side, he leaned his little face into the video and called daddy.
The couple chatted for about half an hour, and the video ended.
Sun Quan continued typing, and from time to time he would grab a beer can and take a sip of beer, blowing in the cool outdoor breeze. Not to mention, it was really refreshing.
The crackling sound of typing made him feel at ease, because this sound meant that even if he was alone at home today, he was working hard and not wasting his time.
He may be a bitch by nature. If he is lazy for a day, he will feel guilty in his heart.
Working like this every day and typing whenever he has time makes him feel very at ease and not worried about the future at all.
Because he has always believed that as long as he works hard every day, he will not have a bad life in the future. If a person who works hard every day will not have a good life in the future, can other people still live?
In this world, there are always some people who don't work that hard.
…
Under the same starry sky.
Tang Xin and her colleagues had finished their dinner party long ago and had already returned to the company dormitory. They had already taken a shower and washed their clothes. It was already past 10 o'clock in the night.
Of course, for today's young people, after 10 o'clock, it is not a late night. Maybe 10 or 20 years ago, after 10 o'clock in the evening, it was already an out-and-out late at night, because people in that era did not have much nightlife.
, especially 20 years ago.
At that time, many people did not even have electric lights, not to mention televisions. Many people used either candles or kerosene lamps for lighting at night. Whether it was candles or kerosene lamps, they were an additional expense. Many people tried to save money at night.
Use it.
In that era, married people could have some other fun at night, but unmarried people could easily sleep alone.
Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is no joke.
But in this era, with the development of the times, young people's nightlife has become richer. No matter how bad it is, they can still watch TV or play with their mobile phones at night. Time flies and it will be past 10 o'clock. If you don't sleep before 12 o'clock, it is already
This is a habit of many young people.
Tang Xin is a young person. After many years of student life, she has already developed the habit of going to bed late.
You know, when you are a student, whether it is high school or university, the lights in the dormitories are usually not turned off before 12 o'clock in the evening.
At this time tonight, Tang Xin was leaning on the bedside, biting her lips, seeming a little hesitant. She was holding the phone in her hand, and she didn't know how long she hesitated. She found Sun Quan's number in the phone's address book, and edited a text message.
Send it and she will wait.
Waiting for Sun Quan's reply.
…
Qinglongwan Villa Park.
On the balcony on the second floor of a certain villa, Sun Quan, who was still typing, heard his phone ringing. He glanced at the screen of the phone that lit up, but actually saw nothing. He pursed his lips, paused typing, and picked up the phone with his left hand.
Beer can, pick up the phone in your right hand.
This was already the second can of beer he drank tonight. He took a sip of beer and saw the text message was from Tang Xin.
She actually took the initiative to send a message?
Is it because you met me while eating hot pot tonight?
With this thought flashing through his mind, Sun Quan casually clicked on the text message.
Tang Xin: "Brother Quan, why are you going to eat hot pot alone tonight? Are you in a bad mood?"
Sun Quan squinted at the text message for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, threw the phone back on the table, took another sip of beer, and continued typing.
He didn't reply to Tang Xin, and he didn't plan to reply tonight.
He had rich experience in love before he was reborn, and he had already summed up some love experience.
For example, if you want to hook up with a woman, texting her in the middle of the night can increase your chances of success.
Because everyone’s mind is relatively clear and rational during the day, but in the dead of night, many people are not so rational and sober.
He had seen such a conclusion somewhere - everyone's rationality prevails during the day, but at night, sensibility prevails.
No matter how rational a person is during the day, in the dead of night, he may lose his rationality due to loneliness, relaxation and other reasons.
According to scientific statistics, nighttime is more suitable for romance...well, he wasn't sure whether this was scientific or not.
Anyway, based on his many years of practical experience, the probability of success in flirting with girls at night is indeed relatively high.
During the day, if you send a text message to a woman, you may be ignored directly, or you may have to wait for a long time before the other party responds to a message, which is a test of your patience.
But it's different at night. If the other person happens to be lonely and cold, a beautiful woman who has no interest in him may chat with him back and forth for an hour or two.
And late at night, it is easy for two young men and women to chat for an hour or two and develop a good impression.
And he had no idea about Tang Xin.
So in such a late night, Tang Xin took the initiative to send such a text message, and he had no intention of replying.
Wait until daytime tomorrow and reply casually. After waiting for her to reply, wait for broad daylight and reply again. In this way, nothing will happen.
This is what he thought and what he did.
Passionate people are always annoyed by ruthlessness.
On the bed in the company dormitory, Tang Xin waited for more than half an hour, but still didn't wait for Sun Quan's reply. She finally sighed, put down her phone, and retreated into bed.
…
The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.
May passed in the blink of an eye and June came.
Sun Quan, who is alone at home, occasionally goes to the Salted Fish Studio during the day, occasionally to the headquarters of the 99 Braised Chicken Company, and occasionally to the Fisherman's Wharf store to have lunch or dinner. Most of the time, he
Coding at home.
The additional updates he promised have never stopped. Although he only adds one chapter every day, at least there are additional updates.
And the effect of additional updates is indeed impressive.
At the end of May, "The Sword in the Clouds" ranked third on the Qidian monthly ticket list.
This is the best ranking this book has had on the monthly ticket list in the past few months.
Not only that, at the beginning of June, the overall ranking of "The Sword of the Clouds" started at fifth. For three consecutive days, he added two chapters every day, and the monthly ranking ranked third.
In addition, over the past few days, the ratings of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" have continued to rise, and its good reputation has continued to grow on the Internet and in reality.
There are so few domestic TV dramas available these days, and it is so rare to occasionally have a domestic drama that is well-produced, has a novel plot, and has online actors and actresses.
Anyway, Sun Quan occasionally had a thought. When he searched the ratings of this drama online, all he noticed was that the data continued to rise.
News praising this drama on the Internet often appeared in front of him.
He occasionally visited the author forum and saw some posts praising the quality of the play or the performances of several main actors in the play.
Before this drama, Wu Qilong was already a little confused. With the popularity of this drama, just like in the original time and space, the old tree blossomed and became famous again.
The heroine, Liu Shishi, has soared in popularity and is showing signs of being promoted to an A-list actress.
Sun Quan is very pleased with the quality of this drama, which seems to be no worse than the original version. Of course, he is also gratified with the income this drama will bring to his studio.
You must know that the rights to adapt the original work of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" were not sold directly to Tangren Film and Television by his Xianyu Studio.
The condition that Fu Lei negotiated at the beginning was that she would use the film and television adaptation rights of the book to become a shareholder in the drama. After the drama was aired, she would directly participate in the profit sharing.
Now, this drama has been aired, and its ratings and reputation are both good. When the profits are divided, it may bring tens of millions of dollars in revenue to his Salted Fish Studio.
As a layman, Sun Quan loves money.
He would naturally feel happy if he could earn tens of millions of dollars.
The world is bustling, and everyone is going there for the benefit of others.
He's chasing profits, what's the problem?
However, when the profits arrive, he doesn't plan to use them for investment. He plans to invest them all in the paper gold market.
Because in his memory before his rebirth, around 2012, the price of gold would rise to an unprecedented high and then suddenly collapse.
He is not sure about short-term operations, but it should be very safe to hold it for a year or two in the long-term and sell it all before the price of gold collapses.
And under this premise of safety, the profits should also be considerable.
…
On the afternoon of June 6, Sun Quan received a call from Xue Zihan.
Xue Zihan said on the phone: "Ah Quan, I have some good news for you!"
At that time, Sun Quan was drinking tea in the studio office. When he heard this, he casually said: "Are you pregnant?"
His bad-mouthed nature was suddenly aroused for some reason.
Xue Zihan: "Bah! What are you talking about? My sister is divorced, why are you cursing me? No! "The Birth of an Actor" is about to be broadcast. In the evening of two days later, if you have time, lock in our Blueberry TV
, prime time in the evening, I suggest you take the time to watch it. After watching it, we can have a phone call to communicate and share some of your views and opinions on this program. If you have any good opinions, we will record them later.
It can be used every time, what do you think?"
"Prime time on the evening of June 8th?"
Sun Quan asked.
Xue Zihan: "Well, yes! It's that time, will you watch it?"
Sun Quan pondered slightly and said, "Yes! I will see it!"
For this show, according to his agreement with Blueberry Channel, he was supposed to be the assistant director for the entire show. However, when the show started recording, he suddenly received a call from his wife and learned that she was pregnant with their second child, so he had no intention of doing so.
I don’t have time to stay in Hangzhou to follow up on the recording of this program.
Originally, he would rather Blueberry TV cut his salary and resign from the position of assistant director.
But Xue Zihan helped him take a long leave.
In this way, he has had the freedom of time during the recent period, and Blueberry TV will not reduce his remuneration because he failed to perform his duties as an assistant director.
Therefore, he owed Xue Zihan a favor.
So Xue Zihan hoped that he would watch this program and give some opinions, and it was difficult for him to refuse.
You can’t be too arrogant!
What's more, he actually wants to see the finished product of this program.
