Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 108 Daily Life of Grassroots Literary and Art Workers
Xia An drank some wine, so Tang Wan drove the car again on the way back.

The two parties agreed to sign the contract tomorrow morning. After sending Venus back to the hotel, they drove a few kilometers away. Although there were only two people in the car, neither of them spoke, as if they were thinking about their own thoughts.

The commercial ended and the opening song of the radio program started again.

——I want you to hear my touching music...

DJ: Welcome back to MusicRadio 107.8 FM. This is the sound of music…

As autumn approaches, the night wind is a bit cold.

Tang Wan only left the car window a little cracked, and the singing from the top-notch audio system was very beautiful.

Zhou Bichang's album "Who Touched My Strings" released in the summer has a total of ten songs, among which the title song of the album performed the best.

Because of her recognizable voice, she quickly became famous after winning the third place in Super Girl last year.

...

Who is leaning on my zither pillow and dreaming of the full moon all night long?

I thought we could only be butterflies on both sides
Who made you and I as quiet as the moon?

only in my heart

Swallows under the eaves

Fly to you for me

...

Xia An hummed along.

Tang Wan also shook her head slightly, glancing at Xia An out of the corner of her eyes from time to time.

After a while, Xia An leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. She should look openly.

Look at his profile, his eyebrows and eyes.

The look is like looking at a monster.

Tang Wan had a strange feeling. The face in front of her was clearly still childish, but as soon as the eyes opened, it was completely different.

Xia An opened his eyes, and Tang Wan nodded involuntarily, muttering to herself, "Yes, it's this look that seems to be able to see through everyone."

——Is he a monster?

Xia Yan reached out and pinched her nose amusedly, "What are you thinking about?"

Tang Wan arched her nose, stepped on the accelerator lightly and passed the traffic post.

"I can't explain it, it just feels weird." She pursed her lips and shook her head.

"You've become a billionaire, and you haven't recovered yet?"

Xia An said that he put all his weight on the backrest and looked very relaxed.

The idea of taking advantage of the situation came to him on the second night after his rebirth, and within three months, he cashed in 400 million yuan.

In fact, he himself also had a bit of a dreamlike illusion, the illusion that the world was not so real.

"Rich woman? Me?"

Leaving the city center, there were fewer cars. On the expressway, Tang Wan changed lanes repeatedly and overtook several slow-moving cars.

She said, "That's your money, how did I become a rich woman?"

With a "tsk" sound, he glanced at Xia An and said, "I'm the one who gets married and then divorced."

Xia An laughed: "No, no, we won't get divorced once we get married. You are worth more than 400 million."

Tang Wan was very happy.

Feeling better, she began to understand what she had been thinking about.

"You're so young and have so much money. You're bound to meet all kinds of beautiful women in the future. Who will be the most valuable one?"

Yo yo yo, you’re acting like a spoiled child.

Xia An reached out and touched her chest.

Tang Wan said coquettishly, "Stop messing around and drive. Even wealthy people cherish their lives, so be careful."

Worrying about gains and losses is a basic expression of loving someone.

Recently, she has been getting along well with Le Ning, who is still her love rival. She is a little confused about what her own mentality is.

Tang Wan hadn't been alone with Xia An for more than a week. As soon as they met, the bad boy suddenly talked about a business deal worth hundreds of millions, which made her even more dazed.

Su Yi once whispered to her that beautiful women are not flowers in society, but outstanding men are.

Women who discover its brilliance will flock to it.

This is inevitable.

Like the blonde today, Tang Wan is also a woman, and she can sense that she has a good impression of Xia An.

Like Le Ning, Tang Wan felt that Le Ning was very open-minded, had clear goals, and was determined.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight?
Tang Wan pursed her lips, feeling both happy and aggrieved.

I am happy that the man I like is really outstanding.

The aggrieved thing is... I don't seem to have much offensive power and don't know how to defend myself...

At this time, Xia An reached out his hand again.

But he didn't touch her randomly. He picked up a strand of hair on her shoulder and slowly rolled it between his fingertips.

He said to Tang Wan, "I want you to help me."

Tang Wan was stunned.

"Help you? What can I help you with?"

I don’t know what I was thinking about, I glanced at Xia An’s belly... and my face turned red.

"Oh, can you do it? I can't."

"?"

After realizing what was happening, if Xia An wasn't driving, he would have wanted to hug her and kiss her immediately.

So cute, my Tang girl.

"Help me run the company and be my good wife."

With almost no hesitation, Tang Xiaowan smacked her lips and nodded immediately.

"Okay."

……

2006 10 Month 14 Day.

Chinese teahouse on the 18th floor of InterContinental Binhai Hotel.

Venus, on behalf of HomeAway, the leading company in the North American resort hotel rental industry, officially signed a domain name transfer contract with Xia An.

The contract initially stipulated that the first installment of US$3800 million would be transferred by the transferee to Xia An's designated account within one calendar month.

Xia An's personal account.

His original plan was to set up an asset management company to take over this huge sum of money. Firstly, it could avoid taxes, and secondly, it would facilitate future operations.

But after thinking about it, I gave up.

This tax must be paid, and this name must be obtained.

The two parties agreed to transfer the remaining US$1200 million within three months after Xia An’s hotel management company was established.

It’s just that this additional clause is implicit, and both parties tacitly promised not to disclose it to the public.

Therefore, the apparent amount of the transaction is still 38 million US dollars, which is the same as the price in Xia An's memory.

Signing a contract is a serious occasion.

Xia An was wearing a small suit.

Tang Wan, who also attended the event in gorgeous attire, completely stunned Venus.

Xia An told her in advance that Venus seemed to only have the black dress.

In order to avoid wearing the same clothes as others, Tang Wan specially chose a gray professional suit.

This was bought more than two years ago when she was preparing to open a training school at the gate of Dongshan No. 6 High School. It still fits her well now.

Little did people know that Venus had brought a professional suit with her before coming.

Also gray.

This is very embarrassing.

Venus sighed to herself, then pulled Tang Wan aside and complained openly, "Oh my God, God made me meet you. He must have thought I was too arrogant before."

Just like yesterday, the same outfit looked completely different on them.

The legs are so long and the buttocks are so perky.

Venus wore heavy makeup and had two buttons of her shirt open.

Tang Wan wore light makeup and had a bun on her head, with only one flower opening.

One is sexy, the other is graceful.

This was the first time Xia An signed such a pleasing contract.

Seeing Xia An writing his name on different pages, Tang Wan's mood fluctuated continuously, and she felt quite thrilled.

In her opinion, this is the most valuable signature.

Looking back at the night before, when I was helping him fill in his nickname on the website, I clearly saw the domain name maintenance fee marked below: only a few dozen dollars per year...

Tang Wan couldn't help looking at Xia An.

This affectionate look caught Venus's eyes, making her smile knowingly.

When they went to the bathroom together, Venus said to Tang Wan, "I have three classmates working on Wall Street. One of them is a senior wealth manager at Morgan. She has information on many wealthy people who are well-known around the world, and she has even become friends with some of them."

After applying a few touches of lip gloss, Tang Wan didn't know why she said this and listened politely.

"Once she came to Boston on a business trip, and we had afternoon tea together. That day, she told me that the top wealthy people all have one thing in common."

Tang Wan knew she was turning the conversation towards Xia An, so she asked, "What's the commonality?"

Venus sprayed some perfume again, the smell was very strong, not the sweet smell that Tang Wan liked.

Venus tilted her head and smiled at her, "Lucky."

"Lucky?" Tang Wan was puzzled.

“Yeah, just lucky.

"Xia is the man of his age that I have met who knows how to turn his knowledge into luck the most.

"And you, Tang, you must be the luckiest woman."

……

Xia An and Tang Wan personally sent Venus to the airport.

The return journey was still a long 20 hours.

After getting off the car, Venus smiled and said to them: "I wish you long-lasting happiness, it has nothing to do with money."

Venus hugged them one by one and left with her suitcase.

Xia An called her.

"I am a man who keeps his promises. You can give me the address of that yard by the sea."

"You want to give it to me?"

Venus tugged at the shoulder strap of her bag, smiled and shook her head.

"Xia, thank you.

"The subsequent development brought about by this transaction is very long-term. Brian promised to let me go to Seattle to serve as the head of the branch, and I can live in the house for free during my term.

"Also, I really like those shoes. Thank you for the gift. Bye."

……

When they were almost at the school, the two were still arguing about the house Xia An was going to give to Venus.

"160 million US dollars, you just give it to me? Have you ever asked me? Have you ever given me such an expensive gift? I don't care, Xia An, I want a gift."

Tang Wan changed her clothes, pants and shoes in the car and turned into a schoolgirl again.

Xia An was laughing so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.

Tang Wan gritted her teeth and said, "A woman is decent because she hasn't been tempted enough. Xia An, if you hadn't given me a gift, I would have been pursued by someone else."

"Do you know how many boys have confessed their love to me in the first month of school?

"There are two young male teachers..."

Tang Wan raised her little neck and looked coquettish.

I arrived at the food street but didn’t turn in.

Xia An held her hand and said, "Let's go buy you a gift. What do you want? A house? Okay, we agreed to buy a big one for us to live in."

Tang Wan pouted and shook her head, saying she didn't want the house.

He raised his two little hands again, rolled up his sleeves, and shook them back and forth.

"Look, look, except for a hairband, don't you think it's too monotonous?
"I don't even have any decent jewelry."

Xia An smiled and said, "A ring? A necklace? Or maybe a couple's watch? I'll get you the complete set today."

Tang Wan immediately became unhappy again.

“You just spend money like this?

"Bracelet, I want a bracelet.

"I really like the one Su Yi bought at the street stall that day. Come on, take me to the mall. They sell it on the pedestrian street.

"Also, since you gave it to me, you can't give it to anyone else."

Xia An was a little surprised.

Another bracelet?

The one that Xiaoyouzi gave away was real but she thought it was fake.

Tang Wan, however, only wanted to wear a fake one as if it were real.

After all, Tang Wan didn't let Xia An spend too much money. She only bought a crystal bracelet, which cost a few hundred yuan.

But Xia An gave her a women's watch that cost more than 30,000 yuan.

Tang Wan was overjoyed, but she put it in the box and didn't even wear it.

She said she actually doesn't like wearing jewelry.

"..."

Xia An was speechless.

There was an open class in the afternoon, and there was no one there when she returned to the dormitory. Xia An changed her clothes and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling that was within reach, her thoughts drifting to the sky.

It was not until dusk that I was brought back to reality by the message sent by Zuo You.

Zuo You: [Finally had some flavored shrimp this afternoon, oh my god, they were so spicy]
-
It has been almost a week since he landed, and Zuo You is already very busy.

Xia An had introduced local snacks such as flavored shrimp to her early on.

But it wasn’t until today that Zuo You got to eat it.

Not eating at the store.

It was sent by a local friend of another girl who shared a room with me in the hotel.

She followed suit and took two bites.

These days, she and Xia An kept chatting via text messages every night.

Not much, but always something to say.

Rehearsing with the team, what celebrities did you meet?

Share some scattered daily life.

The questions Xia An asked her most were whether she was tired and what the conditions were like.

Tell her not to be reluctant to spend money, and if the food and accommodation conditions are too bad, she can move out by herself.

Zuo You always replies: Not tiring at all, it’s more fun to live together.

Actually, it’s not that interesting.

I sent a text message to Xia An before sunset today because after a few days, Zuo You even began to doubt whether she had entered the entertainment circle.

It must be tiring, but also fulfilling.

I'm so busy all day long.

But what comes with it is the oppressive feeling of being confined to a small world and only able to move between two points.

I had this feeling since I got off the plane that day and met my agent.

Lying on the small single bed, Zuo You missed Xia An's hug a little.

Want to talk to him.

[I have an agent now, although it’s not exclusive. She also manages three other girls.]

[She is a very nice person and doesn’t look very old. Compared to us, she is very busy.]

[There's also this girl I live with, she's pretty too, we work in the same company.]

[I didn't tell her I had a boyfriend, but she must have guessed it because I texted you every day.]

[Haha, actually she has a boyfriend too, I know. One day she came back to the hotel earlier than me and even asked me to come back later. Guess what they did?]

We are not allowed to leave the hotel, so her boyfriend has to come to see her.

【I miss you】

【No rude words allowed】

【I want to tell you something, please don’t be angry...】

[Tell me honestly, is the bracelet you gave me very expensive? ]

……

Could it be lost?

Xia An was lying down with his legs crossed. When he saw the message, he frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Ah? Eighteen yuan, you know."

He felt that if Xiaoyouzi lost the bracelet, there was no need to tell the truth.

[That's okay, I lost it, you won't be angry, right? ]

[Why are you so angry? Just buy another one. I'll look for the same one.]

As Xia An continued to send messages, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

He remembered Xiao Youzi saying that she basically never took off the bracelet except when taking a bath or going on stage.

This week she was either in the hotel or rehearsing, and she took the designated bus back and forth.

Just lost it like that?
[Please be careful with your luggage in the room. Don't show off your wealth. After all, the hotel is full of people.]

Xia An knew that this year's Golden Eagle Festival would select the Golden Eagle Goddess for the first time, and the scale was grand.

Many newcomers in the circle gathered in Star City under the leadership of their agencies. Even if they couldn't go on stage, they were ready to show up in front of the media cameras.

At the very least, I plan to make more friends.

The entertainment industry is so small that you’ll gain experience as you get older.

But the threshold to entry in this industry is not high. Although the marginalized people have a very refined appearance, their cultural level and quality are really uneven...

Zuo You replied: [Do you also suspect it was stolen? ]

Also? Xia An sighed amusedly.
