This man knows how to hype

Chapter 696 The World is Changing Too Fast

In the nanny car.

Middle row.

Hu Ningtian, who had a shaved head and was visibly thinner, blushed instantly after hearing Hu Ningwei's words, "Whose influence do you think allowed you to come out early?"

He misunderstood.

He thought Hu Ningwei was talking about Du Zhiping.

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Our family is really in such a state that we have to ask Du Zhiping for help? If I had known that I would have to ask her for help, I would rather not come out earlier!"

My goodness! Hu Ningwei almost choked to death after hearing these words.

Fortunately, Qin Shangqi, who was sitting in the back row, explained in a low voice at the right time: "It's not Du Zhiping, it's Xiyu."

"Who?!" Hu Ningtian was also choked.

"Xiyu."

"Him?" Hu Ningtian was a little bit unconvinced, but after being reminded, he said, "Speaking of this, I remember, has he ever been on the show?"

"Since you know this, you should have heard about his changes." Hu Ningwei asked back.

"I just heard it by chance." Hu Ningtian waved his hand slightly irritated. Although they watched TV on time at 7 o'clock, he didn't want to watch it at all.

And since the situation at home had been sorted out, he could avoid going if he could.

If he had that much time, he might as well read some novels. During this time in prison, he had read countless novels.

He only seemed to hear reports about Xu Xiyu on TV during the limited few times he watched TV, but he didn't know any more information.

After hearing his question, Hu Ningwei took several deep breaths to calm herself down, then she spoke softly and slowly, "Brother, a lot of things happened during the time you were in there.

Especially Xiyu, who has achieved many remarkable results and has been praised and loved by many important people. Grandpa specifically told us not to treat him the same way as before. "

"Yeah, if other people can achieve just one of these results, it would be amazing, but he has achieved success in all aspects!" Qin Shangqi echoed.

"For example?" Hu Ningtian's mind was buzzing with confusion because of what they said.

“For example, when you first entered, the novel The Three-Body Problem that you liked very much won the Hugo Award, and he became the first Asian writer to win the award…”

"I'm not surprised that he won the award. 'The Three-Body Problem' is indeed well written, and I helped a lot with its overseas promotion." Hu Ningtian interrupted with a frown.

“I wasn’t surprised to win the award, but something unexpected happened during the process of winning the award.”

"What accident?"

"When he went to the United States to attend the Hugo Awards, he encountered two shooting incidents within three days. The first was in Spokane, where the Hugo Awards were held; the second was in Los Angeles..."

"Wait, wait a minute, two shootings in three days?" Hu Ningtian was stunned by Xu Xiyu's bad luck. What heavenly law had he violated?
"Yes, twice in three days, that's not important. What's important is that during the second shooting in Los Angeles, he subdued one of the gunmen with his bare hands, while the other gunman shot and killed more than a dozen people.

In other words, he saved at least a dozen lives. Because of this, he was hailed as a "California Hero" by the locals in California, and Tru came to meet him in person.

Even when Lacy said he would award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he did not accept it. Instead, he ran to the victims' memorial and played an ocarina song called "Heaven."

Then I wrote another song called "One Day". That song "Heaven" has become one of the must-learn songs for ocarina.

"One Day" was even more exaggerated. More than 40 countries organized a peace chorus for "One Day". Just that one time, he became the most dazzling star in the world!"

stupid.

Hu Ningtian was completely stunned by Hu Ningwei's words.

no?

Is it so exciting outside as soon as I enter?

Subdue the gunman with bare hands?

California Hero?

Presidential Medal of Freedom?

A global chorus?
Hey man, are you filming a movie here?
With this plot, it would be a bad movie if it were made into a movie. There is no logic at all, right?
Hu Ningwei seemed to have guessed what Hu Ningtian was thinking. After licking her lips which were slightly dry due to the coming of winter, she said in a complicated tone, "It's hard to believe, right?

To be honest, I still find it unbelievable when I think back on it now. Some things are just like a dream. I can only say that reality really does not follow logic. "

After that, without waiting for a reply, she added, “Oh, by the way, Du Zhiping was there when the Spokane shooting happened.

According to Xiyu's later statement, if Du Zhiping had not reacted quickly that day and realized that someone had fired a gun and pulled him away to hide, an accident might have happened. "

"So, Du Zhiping has become his savior?" Hu Ningtian had an extremely complicated expression when he said this.

"That's exactly what's wrong with this. If Du Zhiping hadn't donated money to the school and asked the school to invite Xiyu to attend the school anniversary celebration, he wouldn't have been shot."

"..." Hu Ningtian was speechless. What a mess.

"Anyway, Du Zhiping's attitude towards Xiyu has changed a lot since that incident. It just so happens that Grandpa wants us to repair our relationship with Du Zhiping.

After all, you know the situation at home, and the fewer enemies there are, the better. So, every time Xiyu came home, Grandpa would hint at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Otherwise, do you think that with his personality, he would care about Du Zhiping and Li Yiguang? Isn't he doing this out of consideration for us? "

After saying this, Hu Ningtian fell silent.

He clenched his fists. The anger that had been accumulating in prison for a long time became even worse because he had no place to vent it, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Hu Ningwei took advantage of the situation and said, "Don't be unconvinced. You know Ling Yi."

"Ling Yi's father went to jail, right? I heard this while in there." Hu Ningtian responded instinctively.

"Yes, do you know who put it there?"

My goodness, Hu Ningwei's question made Hu Ningtian's eyes widen instantly, and his two big eyeballs seemed to be bulging out.

He knew his sister.

My sister asked this question. Considering the context, the answer can only be...

"Could it be Xiyu?" He looked at Hu Ningwei in disbelief. After asking, he instinctively looked at Qin Shangqi.

When Qin Shangqi saw him looking at him, he nodded with a complicated expression.

This nod was like pressing the button of a bomb, causing Hu Ningtian's brain to explode with a "boom".

The more people like him there are, the more they know how terrifying Ling Siming is.

And such a terrifying person would actually be...

He hurriedly asked: "Where is Ling Yi? Did Ling Yi run away abroad?"

"No." Qin Shangqi shook his head.

"Is he locked up with his father?"

"he died."

"He's dead...wait, what did you say?!" Hu Ningtian stood up quickly, but halfway through, his head hit the roof of the car, which pushed him back into his seat.

"Liu Dayong and Liu Yutao, father and son, fled to Canada immediately." Hu Ningwei said as she reached out her hand to rub his head.

"They both react quickly." Hu Ningtian pushed Hu Ningwei's hand away and started rubbing his own hand. He felt that he needed to calm down alone.

But Qin Shangqi did not give him a chance to calm down: "It's no use reacting quickly. Liu Yutao ran away but he still didn't stop and spread rumors about Xiyu on the Internet.

Then, he was tricked by Xiyu's Mexican female fan to Cancun, and was arrested on the same day and later sent back to China."

“???” Hu Ningtian tilted his head and showed a black face to Qin Shangqi.

"Hey, I remember Liu Yutao was imprisoned in the same place as you. Didn't you meet him in there?" Hu Ningwei suddenly remembered.

What responded to her was Hu Ningtian's face with an even more "black question mark".

Apparently, his CPU was about to burn out.

However, Hu Ningwei didn't care whether he was angry or not, and continued to ask: "Do you know why Xiyu has female fans in Mexico?"

"Why?" Hu Ningtian answered purely based on instinct.

"Because his animation company made a movie called Coco, which was set in Mexico. This movie grossed over 10 billion at the global box office and received rave reviews.

It is the second domestic animated film to become a big hit abroad. The first one was also produced by his company, called "Wall-E."

"A... a box office of more than 10 billion?!" Hu Ningtian was shocked by the box office.

"Very surprised?"

"Isn't this surprising? That's over 10 billion in box office revenue!"

"What's more than 270 billion? His movie 'The Wandering Blue Planet' grossed billion worldwide, the highest in global box office history, more than billion ahead of the second-place 'Pandora'."

"Mr. Duo??" Hu Ningtian hit the car roof for the second time.

My head hurts a lot from the collision.

But he would rather feel more pain.

Because this might wake me up.

He felt like he was still dreaming, otherwise, why did his sister and wife sound so much like "nonsense" to him? 270 billion box office?

is it possible?
Is this realistic?!
If I remember correctly, before I entered, the domestic box office champion seemed to be only over 50 billion.

And this movie with a box office of over 50 billion seems to be Xu Xiyu's movie.

Wait, what word did I just use?

Only over 50 billion?

Since when can more than 50 billion be described as “only”?
"You don't dare to believe it, right? I don't dare to believe it either." Hu Ningwei said with some emotion.

Before Hu Ningtian could reply, she pointed upwards again and said, "I think, not only we dare not believe it, but also those people up there probably dare not believe it. This is a huge surprise.

Also, do you remember when I first met him, and I invested in "Journey to the West: The Sequel" with him, Xiaoyu, and others?

This game was also released. It is our first domestic 3A game. It has sold more than 3000 million copies worldwide and has achieved great success.

The value of the hardware industry, tourism industry, and cultural industry driven by it is immeasurable. In addition, he and I invested in a technology company called MOSS Technology.

Some time ago, we launched a model called MOSS-550B. This model has achieved the same level as Open AI at one-thirtieth of the cost, and can be deployed on domestic chips.

Before this, Tru was promoting the Stargate Project in an attempt to build AI and computing power hegemony. The launch of MOSS-550B broke their blockade.

As a result, the U.S. technology sector plunged by $5600 trillion in less than two days. Nvidia alone lost $ billion in market value in a single day.

Do you know how much Xiyu and I made by shorting US stocks? "

As Hu Ningwei spoke, she turned her head and looked at Hu Ningtian. Her bright big eyes revealed a look that Hu Ningtian had never seen before she entered.

Looking at that slightly unfamiliar look, Hu Ningtian suddenly felt that his own sister had also become a stranger.

she……

It seems like I have grown up a lot.

"Also, you are familiar with Wei Gu's business strategy, which was basically worked out by us and Xi Yu. Do you know how much sales Wei Gu has made since its opening?"

Hu Ningtian didn't ask "how much".

He just kept his expression tense, waiting for Hu Ningwei's next words.

"Xiyu founded the Dixing Culture Group, and he acquired Wanda Pictures. Even the four words Dixing Culture were proposed by Mr. Min himself, and I took advantage of it. The old man also wrote the two words Wei Gu."

As she spoke, Hu Ningwei sat up straight, looked ahead, and continued with narrowed eyes: "Brother, we used to be shareholders of Zhonghui. It looked glorious, but in fact we were just sucking blood from the 'dividends'.

We can suck this blood, and so can others. There is only one condition that determines who can suck it, and that is whether or not we have the upper hand. We lost the upper hand, so we were driven out.

It’s different now. Whether it’s Xiyu’s Earth or my Wei Gu, this is a real business created by us.

It is a powerful tool for the country to show its cultural soft power to the outside world, and it is also a vivid carrier for the people to feel the process of great rejuvenation! We are finally on the right path..."

Having said this, Hu Ningwei paused, then turned around and looked at Hu Ningtian and said, "Brother, do you understand what I mean?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Ningtian's body suddenly swelled up as if inflated, and his expression flickered and changed constantly.

After a long while, he slumped down in his chair like a deflated ball, staring ahead and saying, "Weiwei, you've really grown up."

After he finished speaking, Hu Ningtian suddenly felt his arm being hugged.

The next second, Hu Ningwei leaned her head on his shoulder and murmured, "Brother, grandpa is old. Now I feel tired when I talk more..."

Hu Ningtian's eyes suddenly became sore because of the four words "Grandpa is old".

There is a second half to my sister's words.

Although he didn't say it out loud, he already understood it - Grandpa is old, and some unpleasant things can only be said by his sister.

"Hu~~" Hu Ningtian puffed up his face and let out a long breath. He rubbed his red eyes and said softly, "Okay, I get it. I won't get involved in your business. I don't have the ability to get involved."

Hearing this, Hu Ningwei did not reply, but held Hu Ningtian's hand a little tighter.

Those beautiful big eyes also closed in pain.

Qin Shangqi saw this, thought for a while, leaned forward and handed the baby from the back row to the middle row, pretending to be natural and said: "Ning Tian, ​​look at your son."

son?

Hu Ningtian woke up as if from a dream.

Yes.

Become a father yourself.

So he quickly turned around, took the baby and held him in his arms.

Looking at the sleeping little meat ball, a feeling I have never experienced before rose from my heart.

He carefully rubbed the baby's face with his fingers, then raised his head and said to Hu Ningwei beside him: "Does it look like me?"

"Like, Du Zhiping just said it looks exactly like you when you were a child."

"Really?" Hu Ningtian laughed and repeated, "Really? Haha, hahahaha..."

"Grandpa has set up a family trust for the baby. Even if he does nothing, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life relying on the dividends." Qin Shangqi said at the right time.

"That's good, that's good. A healthy and safe life is the greatest happiness." Hu Ningtian not only got more irritable after being in jail, but he also figured out some things.

"You know that when grandpa divided up the family property, he gave me more. But I didn't agree. After you go back, you can take your share. You can start a business or invest. It's up to you."

"Let's take a break for two years first. I'm tired after all these years." Hu Ningtian shook his head. He didn't mean what he said. He was indeed tired.

"Okay." Hu Ningwei didn't think his brother was being hypocritical.

These years, he has indeed been supported by his brother.

Having said this, the serious topic has come to an end.

What's left is just the family's daily routine.

After talking for a while, Hu Ningtian suddenly looked up and said, "Should I explain this to Xiyu later? Should I apologize?"

"There's no need. A formal apology would be embarrassing." Hu Ningwei shook her head. Then she tilted her head to look outside the car, trying to see if Du Zhiping's car had caught up.

But there was no sign of Du Zhiping's car.

This made Hu Ningwei feel nervous, and she immediately took out her cell phone and wanted to call Xu Xiyu.

But I found that Xu Xiyu sent a message at this time: [The convoy has lost track, but I am on my way to your house. It is normal for my brother-in-law to dislike yellow-haired people (silly smile)]

Looking at this message, Hu Ningwei's fingers holding the phone began to unconsciously exert force, and her fingertips slowly turned white.

On the other side, Du Zhiping, who was sitting in the back seat, stole a glance at the message sent by Xu Xiyu and said sourly: "You are quite generous."

"If I wasn't generous, I would have started to punish your stupid son a long time ago." Xu Xiyu stuffed the phone back into his pocket unhappily. He didn't care about Hu Ningtian, but he didn't want Hu Ningwei to be caught in the middle.

Besides, Hu Ningtian was just throwing a tantrum, which was not a big deal. Xu Xiyu wouldn't be like Long Aotian and care about everything.

"Why are you fussing over a child?" Du Zhiping said as a matter of course.

"Who is it? Li Yiguang is a child?!" Xu Xiyu was shocked by her words and looked at her in disbelief.

Du Zhiping's ears started to burn when he looked at her.

Fortunately, the car was separated into front and back rows, so Xiaolin, who was driving in the front row, and Xinbao, who followed in, could not see the scene behind.

Because of this, Du Zhiping suddenly mustered up the courage to say, "Based on our relationship, isn't he just a child?"

"..." These words were too harsh, and Xu Xiyu began to pretend not to hear them.

But Du Zhiping was a bit more open-minded and brought up the old matter again: "Musen Holdings is holding an event in Zhangjiakou to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Can you come?"

"No." Xu Xiyu shook his head.

"I'm just joining in the team building and being a distinguished guest to help me support the occasion. It's not... I don't want to do anything else."

When Du Zhiping finished speaking, she turned her head to the side, but her eyes couldn't help but glance towards Xu Xiyu.

Xu Xiyu was instantly amused by her words.

Du Zhiping was so happy that she was embarrassed. Her cheeks were burning and she stammered, "You...you are laughing...what are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"No, what you just said sounds so familiar. I used to say that when I was lying to little girls." Xu Xiyu said while holding back his laughter.

“……”Du Zhiping was speechless.

At the same time, she was completely embarrassed.

So, he turned his head to the side with a cold face, turned his back to Xu Xiyu, and stopped talking.

And Xu Xiyu also realized that what he said was a bit too much.

Maybe they really just want me to attend the celebration?

Maybe, they just think that their presence will make the celebration look more prestigious?

dirty!

You have a dirty heart, Xu Xiyu!
How could you misunderstand Aunt Du?
