Chapter 556 Liu Xiaoli VS Zhu Ling: A Clash of Titans
In the summer of the new millennium, everyone's attention was focused on the Olympic Games.
But within the entertainment industry, everyone is focused on the box office performance of "The Bourne Identity 2".
The Hollywood blockbuster will hit Chinese theaters in early August. Given the speed at which this film has grossed overseas, the release of "The Bourne Identity 2" in China will surely cause a viewing frenzy as well.
Everyone surely remembers the scene when "Iron Man," the groundbreaking film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was released earlier this year—it was packed with people.
Iron Man is the highest-grossing film in Chinese film history and is currently the highest-grossing film in mainland China, without exception.
When the movie was first released, long queues formed outside many cinemas. It was as if not seeing the movie meant falling behind, which led many people, especially young people, to rush into the cinema.
The second Bourne film is now being released, even though the timing isn't ideal as the Olympics are just around the corner. But it has finally arrived.
Xintiandi Plaza, located near Chaoyangmen, one of the busiest streets in Beijing, is now one of the most prosperous shopping malls in the capital.
Wang Yifei, along with two of her classmates and Bai Doufu, entered the mall; they were there to watch a movie.
After buying their tickets, the group also bought popcorn and cola, then entered the theater and waited for the movie to start.
As a female celebrity, Wang Yifei was not wearing a mask.
So when she meets many young viewers, they can't help but look at her more for two reasons: first, she is very beautiful, and second, she does look a lot like Liu Qianqian.
"Big sister, they're watching you."
Bai Doufu said softly, but was met with a glare from her sister, "I'm not blind, I can see."
Just then, a few teenagers encouraged a girl to come over and ask Wang Yifei if she was Liu Qianqian.
The result, of course, was rejection.
"I do look a lot like that female celebrity, but I am not."
Wang Yifei wore no makeup and dressed quite simply. Well, she specifically changed into her school uniform, the same uniform as her two female classmates.
So her fans accepted her honest explanation, but were still asked to take photos.
Of course, I was rejected.
Because if we take a group photo, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.
The movie started at that moment, and her fans finally had to quiet down.
After teasing her fans, Wang Yifei started watching the movie without any pressure. After all, she was out having fun, not trying to upset herself.
Besides, she felt incredibly satisfied just now, seeing how she acted.
The second Bourne film continues the plot of the first, and is just as mind-bending, but the action scenes are even more thrilling and tense, with one big scene after another that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
The director doesn't seem to care much about spending money, or perhaps he doesn't even know what money is. In any case, he's throwing money around to create grand scenes within the framework of a reasonable plot.
The first movie made a lot of money, so the second one definitely needs to make money too. The director has his own ideas.
Wang Yifei and the others thoroughly enjoyed the movie, as it was quite excellent, which explains its high box office performance overseas.
The cinema in Xintiandi Plaza has a very large screen and is very clean and tidy. Even though it's a weekday, there are still a lot of people coming to watch movies.
After a movie ended, before Wang Yifei and her group had completely left, cleaning staff had already started cleaning up, as if the next movie was about to begin.
Sure enough, when they walked out of the theater, they saw that there were already audience members queuing up to have their tickets checked and enter.
To be fair, the second Bourne film was indeed a huge hit, attracting many viewers to buy tickets to watch it.
After returning to No. 87 Zhongguancun West Street, Wang Yifei and the Bai Doufu sisters started chattering excitedly about recommending the movie "Jason Bourne".
Bai Doufu even wanted to drag her three older brothers along to see it again.
Was this movie good?
Wang Duoyu, who had just returned from outside, sat down with a smile and asked.
Then Liu Xiaoli placed the child in her arms on him and asked him to hold the baby for a while.
"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!" Bai Doufu exclaimed excitedly.
Wang Duoyu was well aware that the movie's box office was excellent. Even without considering the counterfeit money houses that Super Dollar Factory was promoting behind the scenes, the movie's actual box office in the United States alone exceeded 800 million US dollars.
At the original timeline, the box office figures for any single region in the world were not that high, at least not at the turn of the millennium.
However, Wang Duoyu had seen the exaggerated box office performance of the movie "Ne Zha", so he was not surprised by the box office performance of "The Bourne Identity 2".
After all, the super dollar factory did a lot of work behind the scenes.
People all have a herd mentality.
When The Bourne Legacy was enjoying phenomenal box office success, many viewers who hadn't seen the film before opted to buy tickets to watch it.
Therefore, the box office of this movie will naturally be pushed up even further.
Wang Duoyu held two-month-old Wang Sixin in his arms while chatting with the children.
Meanwhile, he was replaying his meeting with the leader in his mind: the issue of learning (fa valve)!
This is something he brought up on his own initiative, as mentioned above.
Because he had already seen the harm this problem caused, and these people had seriously jeopardized his research plans.
Therefore, he must step forward and take the initiative to completely eliminate the negative impact of this matter.
Human nature truly cannot withstand any test.
Some people are not very capable, but they are good at flattering others. They can deceive their superiors and subordinates and take all the credit for others.
If it were someone engaged in mathematical research, Wang Duoyu would certainly not be worried, because all he needed to do was have the other person stand on the stage of the report meeting, and he would know at a glance whether they were a worm or a dragon.
Simply because someone without that ability cannot clearly explain the calculation process even when standing on the podium.
However, it's hard to say for other majors such as physics, chemistry, and biology.
The same applies to many other different research directions.
A few days ago, a materials science professor from a university in central China who was involved in the Nantianmen Project made a fool of himself.
Wang Duoyu was unaware of this at first, until someone casually mentioned it to him, and he realized something was wrong.
It was only then that he realized how rampant this practice had become in the country.
These people are very good at circumventing what is considered illegal and turning illegal income into legal income.
First, a meeting was held, and it was said that the higher-ups had finalized the Nantianmen Project, and several major research directions could be determined.
So this group of people sat down for a meal, and during the meal, they started discussing which specific areas they should research and develop.
Before they had even finished their meal, they had already determined the general direction, and then, while everyone was still there, they made a phone call to report to their superiors.
"Boss, we've now decided on these research directions."
The leaders listened and said, "Hmm, that works too."
Okay, the research direction has now been finalized.
Next, it's time to arrange for the master's, doctoral, and undergraduate students to take the stage.
Experts and professors do not need to personally take charge of specific research and development projects; they only need to apply for and approve research project plans.
Then you can hand these projects over to your trusted subordinates.
So, who will be the judges reviewing these projects?
No need to ask, it's definitely the same people.
They were either fellow disciples of the same grandmaster or members of the same faction.
In short, it's about the people involved in this chain of interests.
After the project is launched, the master's, doctoral, and master's students in charge of the specific research projects will invite these experts to the project site for guidance.
Then the travel expenses and such should definitely be given to the experts.
This is the experts' legitimate income.
Because they are all 'authorities' in the field, whatever they say goes. After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, and having received the money...
Experts would then tell these master's, doctoral, and other highly educated students: "You can modify this direction further and explore it in greater depth."
The so-called guidance did absolutely nothing.
They just came here to eat, drink, and have fun, but they still got paid.
Those knife throwers who travel all over the country.
At least they managed to save the person.
If that were all, Wang Duoyu would be even angrier.
Some people take the money but don't do anything useful; instead, they try to cheat and make more money.
For example, the results of a scientific research project are directly divided into more than a dozen small modules.
The research funding for each module was exorbitantly demanded.
The longer he delays, the more money he can earn.
Naturally, there will be more.
If they take all the money, Wang Duoyu will write his name backwards.
Outside the main room, Wang Junhong brought someone back.
Liu Xiaoli, who was chatting with the children, turned her head to look near the door and her eyes widened in surprise.
Because Wang Junhong actually brought Zhu Ling back.
"Sister Ling is here! Come in and sit down quickly. Second brother, pour some tea."
Liu Xiaoli stood up with a smile and instructed Wang Junan to quickly serve tea and water, acting like the lady of the house.
Zhu Ling felt stifled, but she had no choice but to force a genuine smile.
After sitting down, her gaze kept sweeping over Wang Yifei and the other children, and she felt even more bitter when she saw the twins Wang Junxian and Wang Sixin.
How could I have been so bewitched back then?
"Xiaoli, you're amazing! You're forty years old and you still managed to give birth to a pair of healthy, chubby twins. That's incredible!"
"Haha, it's alright. I think having a baby is pretty simple. It's just that Duoyu is always worried about me. Hey, you have no idea, when I was pregnant with both of them, Duoyu was almost never away from me."
"Heh, really? Now that you've already had your first child, are you planning to have more? There's the one-child policy now, and you've already had two more. Aren't you worried about having so many children?"
"Hey, Duoyu just told me that the boss even congratulated him. The boss just told him to remember to pay the fine, but the boss was still very grateful to him because his children are all talents that the country needs."
"Oh, so Xiaoli, you're planning to have more children? That makes sense. Your complexion is radiant and your figure is great; you're definitely suited for having more kids. But you should hurry, after all, you're not young anymore."
"I'm definitely not young anymore. If I wanted to have children, I could still. My periods are still quite heavy. By the way, Sister Ling, what about you? I think you were born in 1952, right? Do you still have your period? Oh, why am I asking this? You're still single and can't have children. Unlike me, even if I wanted to have children, Duoyu wouldn't agree now. Sigh, it's so difficult~"
Zhu Ling couldn't hold back any longer, and her expression immediately fell.
Liu Xiaoli has a really sharp tongue!
Wang Duoyu and the children, who were standing nearby, didn't hear their back-and-forth conversation because they weren't speaking loudly. However, Wang Yifei and the Bai Doufu sisters, who were right next to them, heard it clearly.
Unfortunately, the two sisters can't tell anyone about it now, so they can only listen to it.
Having lost a round to Liu Xiaoli, Zhu Ling didn't argue with her anymore. Instead, she turned to Wang Duoyu and said:
"Duoyu, it's like this, I came here today to discuss something with you. I found a girl for my Junhong, and he has already met her. They got along quite well. When would you like to meet her parents?"
Zhu Ling has lost everything, while Liu Xiaoli is completely overwhelmed by her wins.
But she also has her biological son, Wang Junhong. This child is not only Wang Duoyu's eldest son, but he has also been very well educated and is now a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. Zhu Ling is naturally very proud of him.
Although Wang Jun'an and the other children are still young and their future is uncertain, Wang Junhong has won the Fields Medal, which means he has definitely reached the pinnacle.
So although Zhu Ling lost, her son won.
Even if Liu Xiaoli has many more children, so what? They still can't compare to her son.
Wang Junhong is about to turn twenty, so it's time to find him a partner.
Once Wang Junhong's child is born, Zhu Ling will have an excuse to come and take care of the child, and she can also take the opportunity to move into her son's house.
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu was about to speak when Liu Xiaoli interrupted him in surprise:
"Boss, when did you start dating? How come I didn't know?"
Liu Xiaoli raised Wang Junhong like her own son. From childhood to adulthood, she always thought he was very well-behaved and obedient. She never expected that he would have a girlfriend without telling her, and they were about to meet each other's parents. Where did he put her?
"Xiaoli, I told him not to tell you," Zhu Ling said first.
“You were heavily pregnant before, so it wasn’t suitable for you to travel around. Besides, Junhong hadn’t officially started a relationship yet, so I didn’t tell you.”
"Sister Ling, what is your purpose in doing this? Junhong is my child. Why didn't he tell me he was dating someone? So what if I'm pregnant? Don't I have the right to know?"
Zhu Ling and Liu Xiaoli are at it again, and neither is willing to back down.
Wang Duoyu waved to the boss, and when he came in front of him, he grabbed the boss's ear and twisted it:
"Aren't you usually very smart? How could you make such a foolish mistake? Look at how your aunt and stepmother have done so much for you."
The eldest brother was indeed a smart man; he understood instantly, immediately played the victim, and cried out in pain.
In an instant, Liu Xiaoli and Zhu Ling stopped fighting. They were both worried about Wang Junhong, so why did they come over to mediate?
After all, Wang Duoyu is the head of the family, so it's only natural for him to beat up Wang Junhong.
Liu Xiaoli and Zhu Ling were very worried, but they never expected that Wang Duoyu and his son were putting on an act for them.
So when they quickly came over to mediate, the sharp argument between the two women vanished instantly.
Seeing the two of them examining Wang Junhong from either side, Wang Duoyu's smile widened.
But after checking her eldest son's ears and finding nothing wrong, Liu Xiaoli glared angrily at Wang Duoyu:
"What kind of father are you? He's your son, not your enemy. Why did you hit him? Even if you want to discipline your child, you can just say a few words. Why did you have to hit him? How old is he? How can you still act like this?"
Zhu Ling also couldn't help but complain a couple of times:
"Yes, Junhong is getting married soon. You should give him some face. He's not a three or four-year-old child."
The fact that the two spoke with one voice was a relief to both Wang Duoyu and his son Wang Junhong.
As long as they stop pointing out each other's shortcomings and maintain a superficial harmony, that's fine.
In the courtyard of No. 87 Zhongguancun West Street in Beijing, the central air conditioning in the main room provides sufficient cooling, keeping the indoor temperature at a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius.
It's August of the new millennium, and the outdoor temperature in the capital is already very high, well over thirty degrees Celsius.
Wang Duoyu and his family were chatting in the living room, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
"Big brother, your wife is so beautiful! When are you going to bring her home so we can see her?"
At this moment, Wang Yifei was holding a group photo and smiling as she spoke to her older brother.
More than ten minutes had passed since Zhu Ling mentioned wanting Wang Duoyu to meet the girl's parents.
In just over ten minutes, a lot has happened.
However, Wang Duoyu made a final decision, saying that he hadn't met the girl yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to meet her parents.
To be honest, Wang Duoyu didn't expect Zhu Ling to pull such a stunt.
So he could only stall for time and then immediately arrange for someone to investigate the matter.
Yes, he really didn't know about this beforehand.
Because Wang Junhong always came to Beijing under the guise of seeing Zhu Ling, since he is Zhu Ling's biological son, something Liu Xiaoli cannot replace.
It's not that Wang Junhong is unfeeling, but Zhu Ling's care and love for him are considerable, although her companionship is naturally not as good as Liu Xiaoli's.
But after all, she was his biological daughter, and Wang Junhong naturally longed for Zhu Ling's maternal love.
He was enjoying the love of two mothers, which made him somewhat lost.
On the other hand, he is now an adult and a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, so he occasionally goes out to give lectures.
As long as he doesn't encounter any danger, Wang Duoyu naturally won't keep an eye on him all the time.
Most importantly, Wang Duoyu is not a peeping tom; he cannot keep an eye on the other person all the time just because they are his son.
But he really didn't expect that this kid would not only not tell Liu Xiaoli about his girlfriend, but also not tell his father.
unacceptable!
So when he twisted the kid's ear just now, he did use some force. (End of Chapter)
