Chapter 124 Eating Peggy

Peggy felt she was very well prepared; after all, a precocious genius like her had been preparing for years.
Then, seizing this rare opportunity, he pretended to be drunk at the party, ended the birthday party early, and then proposed the theory of "best before"!

My wish has finally come true!
However, even with thorough preparation, when the event actually occurs, one often finds that they were not prepared at all, or at least not adequately prepared.

She specifically collected a lot of "instructional videos" to study, only to find that they didn't teach what to do if she couldn't resist.
—If this continues, my soul will fly away!

But once again, I smelled that refreshing and intoxicating fragrance!
However, many things are self-taught, it's innate... Besides, isn't there an experienced driver to guide her?

There are many ways to drive~
When his summer biological clock woke him up in the morning, the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten.

Summer glanced down at her pale golden hair...

Pulling back the covers, Xia Tian saw Peggy's still-sleeping face and felt a pang of regret—he had acted impulsively!

I don't think waiting another year is a big deal...

Forget it, I don't want to.

Yes, that's right, everyone is indeed special.

The terrain of a narrow gorge is indeed unique.

Oh, and he has an answer to a question that has been bothering him all summer: people's fur color is indeed uniform throughout!

……

The days that followed were a time for the gifted girl to receive re-education from the adult world.

After all, things took a bit unexpected turns, so I'll have to stay here for a while longer in the summer.

The next day, Peggy, who was still having some difficulty walking, took Summer to her studio—three computers, two telephones, and the walls were covered with all kinds of financial information, newspapers and newsletters, stock trading strategies, stock price fluctuations and the like.

It has been proven that most geniuses can utilize their intelligence in many fields.

The $10 I left for Peggy before summer to try things out has now grown to $27.

This is because Peggy is the kind of player who plays conservatively and doesn't make aggressive moves.

Xia Tian reviewed her operation records in detail and talked to her a lot.

It has to be admitted that Peggy is more professional than I am in this regard—she actually studied finance and then practiced while learning, and she even doubled her principal.

Summer himself didn't do any detailed operations; he mostly gave general guidance and let specialized traders do the specific work.

In terms of buying high and selling low, and going long or short on individual stocks, she is indeed not as good as Peggy.

Seeing this, Xia Tian felt much more at ease with Peggy and handed over the account that Yu Beibei had helped Xia Tian operate when she was in the United States.

Now she has over $300 million in funds. Let's see how things go...

Xia Tian had a lot of confidence in her.

Even if you do lose money, it's only a small amount.

On the third day, Summer took Peggy to the Illusion Studio to check out its financial situation, including income and expenses.

Furthermore, they are delegating some authority and plan to hire three to five more assistants to help the increasingly skilled illustrators.

We need a professional manager to run the comic magazine!
The "Fantasy Comics Weekly" is selling quite well now, mainly because the works are novel.

The published works are quite numerous, including original pieces such as "Resident Evil," "SpongeBob SquarePants," and "XX Park"...

With some submissions included, the variety of works is quite rich.

Today, Xia Tian came here to further define the comic style, the studio's work focus for this year, and to determine the main works to be promoted this year.

Resident Evil is now the flagship product of Fantasy Comics Weekly, so naturally a sequel is in the works.

The main storyline and style of the work need to be finalized in the summer. Furthermore, many of the monster designs also require the summer's approval.

Summer chose a route that interweaves movies and games, using multiple narrative threads.

Centered around the Umbrella Corporation's T-virus, the story will also feature variants like the G-virus, Parasite, and the original virus, such as Rowenica. In short, as long as sales are good, the plot can go on forever!
SpongeBob SquarePants has also received praise from some people, after all, classic characters like SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward are really appealing!

There's also a following for "XX Park," even though it's a bit cheesy, but Americans have strong tastes, so it suits their palates perfectly.
In addition to creating Resident Evil 2 this year, and continuing the previous evergreen non-mainline works, it has been decided to start two more projects this summer.

The first thing was to try adapting his first English novella, "The Corpse Immortal," into a manga. Xia Tian even drew some sample illustrations for this project, mainly to determine the art style and that bizarre and fantastical aesthetic.

We need to determine if a few artists can master this skill.

Then there's Inception, the dream he had on the plane when he arrived—we can't let the Twin Towers go to waste, can we?
"All of a person's secrets are hidden in their dreams!"

"Don't you know that dreams have many layers? Time in the second layer is 20 times slower than in the first layer..."

"Constructing a complete dream is a very difficult task; such a person is called a dream architect!"

"That's right, someone can steal your thoughts and secrets from your dreams..."

Summer has decided to add some "creativity" to this fantasy masterpiece, which revolves around dreams, dream architects, dream thieves, dream guardians, and multiple layers of dreams, by incorporating some "prophecies"!
For example, a plane crashing into a building!
Of course, you can't just draw the Twin Towers directly; it's best to leave it ambiguous and let Americans guess—in fact, similar "prophetic images" are often found in shows like The Simpsons!
For example, my golden retriever friend Rongdeng Dabao~
Haha, just thinking about how someone discovered this secret years later makes Xia Tian so happy she wants to slap her thigh!
Aside from Shenlong Pictures, other businesses here will gradually be handed over to Peggy for oversight.

The saying goes, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." Summer believed in Xiao Piluo, but she also knew better than to put too much pressure or temptation on others... It would be detrimental to both herself and others!

……

Summer was in the United States, pondering the Dao of Yin and Yang with Peggy, when Milan called: "Summer, there's big news here!"

"what happened?"

Milan also mentioned the publication of Chen Zhongshi's novel "White Deer Plain," saying that she bought seven or eight copies for Xia Tian and Xiao Xu, so that they could not only read them but also collect them.

They also said they saw someone selling "cut-out CDs" on the street.

Foreign publishers cut off excess tapes and discs, indicating they could no longer circulate in the market, and then dumped them in developing countries due to high recycling costs.

Currently, cut-out cassette tapes and CDs are imported into China under the guise of being plastic raw materials.

Many people hear foreign music through bootleg CDs.

Milan also mentioned seeing a new animated series on TV called "Blue Mouse and Big-Faced Cat"!
Little mouse, little mouse, doesn't steal rice~ Big-faced cat, big-faced cat, loves to eat fish~
Summer promised her that she would bring her American comics and cartoon videotapes.

There's something else Milan didn't mention; I only learned about it later, after returning to China that summer.

……delete
The seasons in China are characterized by alternating periods of warm and cold air masses, and wind directions can change rapidly...

Just as Milan was about to hang up, and even the "nua~" was over, she suddenly asked a question: "Is there a girl next to me?"

Xia Tian was taken aback, "Hmm!"

Are you channeling Sherlock Holmes?! Can you smell it from across the Pacific Ocean?

"Who?"

"Paige."

"Is it the genius girl you told me about?"

"Yes."

"Can I talk to her for a bit?"

Summer seemed to see President Mi suddenly sit up from the sofa, looking radiant with pride.

"Ok."

Summer handed the microphone to Peggy: "It's Milan, the one I told you about..."

Peggy wasn't intimidated. She took the microphone and said in Chinese, "Hello Milan, I'm Peggy..."

Peggy's self-taught Chinese is quite standard!
