Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 367 Brother, just take the picture!

Yang Xi will have to go back to school after the Lantern Festival.

Even though I come to Shanghai whenever I have free time, visiting the hospital won't become a regular occurrence for me.

The only advantage is that I don't have to worry about Yang Guilan's daily life.

"elder brother……"

When Yang Xi saw Lin Lang approaching, he immediately stood up to greet him.

Lin Lang took her hand and placed the gift he had brought into the ward with his other hand.

Yang Guilan was in a particularly good mood after seeing Lin Lang.

She never expected her family to find such a good son-in-law; she was simply angered by Yang Xi.

She couldn't accept Yang Xi doing that kind of thing online.

But after learning that Yang Xi worked at Lin Lang's company, she didn't mind as much anymore.

And then, Lin Lang and Yang Xi actually got together...

The intimacy between the two is undeniable.

The current situation is that if Lin Lang feels that his mother-in-law is a burden, he can leave, or even die, as long as Lin Lang can take good care of Yang Xi.

"Langlang is here. I just wanted to tell you something. I feel like I'm almost fully recovered. I'm thinking of going with Xixi to rent a place near her school so I can cook for her and help you look after her."

She didn't want to spend Lin Lang's money anymore.

My family is poor and we don't have much dowry to give.
Lin Lang quickly said, "Auntie, what are you saying? Xixi has gone to school and doesn't come back much. How can I feel at ease having you living alone outside the school? If you stay here, someone will take care of you. I'll also be in Shanghai these days and can come to visit from time to time. Your health is the most important thing. When Xixi and I have children in the future, we'll be counting on you to help take care of them..."

Yang Guilan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon hearing this.

She really wants to take care of the child.

However, "Langlang, if you have children, Xiuyun will definitely be able to take good care of them."

“My mom can definitely take good care of them, but I don’t only have one child. Our family is already small, and my mom has given me a strict order: I need at least three children. How can they manage that… Auntie, you should just focus on recovering in the hospital. The doctor said you’re fine in other aspects, but you’ve been malnourished for years, so you’ll need at least a year of hospitalization to fully recover. Also, don’t worry about the hospital expenses. First of all, I don’t lack the money, and secondly, Xixi’s income can completely cover your hospitalization costs.”

"Huh? Does Xixi earn that much money?"

“Auntie, Xixi is an internet celebrity now. You think those photos are no good, but they are actually very normal photos online. Many companies have asked Xixi to be their spokesperson, and the endorsement fee is very expensive.”

"Isn't that just like being a big star?"

"Yes, internet celebrities are just like big stars. Actually, aren't Xixi's photos similar to those of celebrities? In fact, those celebrities take even more revealing photos. The level of revealing scenes they take in their acting is astonishing. So, don't take this to heart. Xixi will be a big star in the future. Our company will also arrange for her to participate in some variety shows. You'll be able to see her on TV then."

The last sentence was made up by Lin Lang.

Television programs will gradually become worthless, especially those variety shows that have no substance; they'll basically only deserve to gather dust in a corner.

It's pointless for Yang Xi to appear on variety shows; all she needs to do is attract the old perverts on the internet.

Under Lin Lang's persuasion, Yang Guilan gradually accepted the fact and put her mind at ease, and obediently went to the hospital.

Actually, her illness is not cured yet, and if she is stimulated now, it will still relapse.

Mental illnesses are almost impossible to cure completely. So-called recovery is at best a reduction in symptoms after a relapse.

Yang Guilan's symptoms are greatly affected by external factors. Similarly, this also means that changing some external factors can help stabilize her condition and prevent recurrence in the long term.

The doctors have been probing various points, and for example, they have determined that Yang Guilan has an inferiority complex, which has a significant impact on her.

She herself is useless, her daughter is useless, and she faces all sorts of judgment from the outside world. Even the people her daughter hired to take care of her don't give her a kind look...

Lin Lang chatted with Yang Guilan for over an hour, then took her and Yang Xi out for a meal.

After having dinner and escorting Yang Guilan back to her ward, Lin Lang prepared to leave.

But Yang Guilan insisted that Yang Xi take him.

In the corridor, Lin Lang and Yang Xi walked step by step toward the stairs.

Lin Lang turned around unintentionally and saw Yang Guilan following behind him.

As they were about to go down the stairs, Lin Lang said, "Xi Xi, let's stop here. Although I'm quite busy, your aunt is in Shanghai, so don't worry, there won't be any problems."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Xi responded softly.

She also noticed that her mother was following behind her.

Lin Lang saw that Yang Xi was still silently following her, then glanced at Yang Guilan behind them, took Yang Xi's hand, turned his face to the side, pointed to his cheek, and said, "I'm leaving soon, aren't you going to give me a kiss?"

Yang Xi looked up at Lin Lang and, without any hesitation, reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Lang's neck.

She threw herself into Lin Lang's arms and said, "Brother, I don't want you to leave... Please stay tonight..."

As she spoke, tears seemed to well up in her eyes.

Even Yang Guilan, who was five or six meters away, could hear this.

Then she whispered, "Brother, my mom wants me to go with you."

Lin Lang understood and said, "Come to the hotel to find me after your aunt falls asleep. Don't you know where I'm staying?"

This sound was also loud enough for Yang Guilan to hear.

At the same time, Lin Lang pulled Yang Xi out of his arms and reached out to wipe away her tears. "Don't cry. It's not like we'll never see each other again. You can come to Shanghai anytime on Sundays. It's not that far away. If I have time, I'll come to see you too."

Then, he patted Yang Xi on the shoulder before they officially parted ways.

……

Back at the hotel, Lin Lang sent Yang Xi a message: "Just find an excuse to go back later, and go to the hospital tomorrow. Also, if you need anything related to the start of school, just let me know. If you run out of money, just ask Big Fish Media for it."

After sending the message, he felt that his task was finished.

Although I took this troublesome matter upon myself, I could still have signed Yang Xi even without doing all this.

However, some things cannot be measured by money.

If everything is measured in money, then people should spend all their time except for eating and sleeping working hard to earn money.

Besides their working relationship, Yang Xi and I also share a childhood friendship.

Letting parents enjoy life is the meaning of life; preserving the few remaining bonds of affection is also the meaning of life.

Of course, pursuing more desires is also a part of the meaning of life; otherwise, life would be in vain.

Lin Lang sat in front of the computer, looking at the exchange rate data.

Because it was Saturday, the exchange rate didn't fluctuate, but Lin Lang wanted to try to draw the chart. This wave of appreciation of the euro against the dollar didn't last long, mainly because it had fallen too sharply before. The euro's highest point was 1 euro to 1.6 dollars, extremely strong.

However, since Brexit, the euro has been depreciating. With Brexit now confirmed to be a done deal, in stock market terms, the bad news has been priced in and has led to a rebound.

However, this rebound will not last long, especially in 2022, when the euro exchange rate will fall directly due to the impact of the black swan event of war.

At that time, 1 euro will only be exchanged for 0.95 US dollars.

From 1 euro to 1.2 US dollars to 1 euro to 0.95 US dollars, there is a full twenty points of exchange rate difference.

Specifically, from 2019 to 2020, the euro-dollar exchange rate rose from 1.08 to 1.25, which was appreciation. In 2021, it fell from 1.23 to 1.10, which was depreciation. Then, in 2022, it even fell to 0.95, reaching its lowest point.

(I misread the data in the previous chapter, sorry, I'll correct it later.)
After organizing the data, it was helpful for Lin Lang's trading; at least he knew where the potential positions were.

The main reason he decided to take this risk is that it will be difficult to release another 1,000 yuan of QDII quota in the future; the minimum quota will basically be 10,000 yuan.

Otherwise, the value of gold coins will be greatly reduced.

This wave of participants are all ordinary people; those with a little money wouldn't even consider a 1,000 yuan limit.

Even if it's multiplied a hundredfold, it's still not much money to them.

Essentially, this is all a show.

The future appreciation of gold coins depends on wealthy people; only the wealthy are qualified to participate.

Even at the very least, they are middle class.

The success of this show has impacted the expectations of Tianjin Wealth Gold Coins.

The difference between 100x leverage and 400x leverage is huge; one only has 13x leverage, while the other has 52x leverage.

Even after deducting various fees, overnight interest, etc., one offers 11.5 times the potential, while the other offers 46 times the potential.

Lin Lang would definitely be willing to take the risk and choose the second option. In any case, if things don't work out, he can find a way to transfer some funds to serve as a margin.

"No, we don't need to wait until then... It's better to prepare in advance. Tianjin Global Selection has set aside some funds..."

“The market is definitely large enough. The daily trading volume of the US dollar and the euro is enormous. With a leverage of 400 times, that's a scale of 600 billion US dollars. The daily trading volume of the foreign exchange market is more than 9 trillion US dollars, of which the euro accounts for 25% to 30%. That means the trading volume between the euro and the US dollar is close to 3 trillion US dollars.”

"One day is definitely not enough. If we extend the time to three or four days... it will be much easier."

"After all, the depreciation of the euro has prompted many companies to release various contracts in the market in an effort to maintain their exchange rates..."

"A significant price increase, coupled with an annual quota of 50,000 yuan, is needed to attract large amounts of capital... Otherwise, Tianjin Wealth Gold Coins will not have the potential for explosive growth; both are indispensable."

Before we knew it, more than two hours had passed.

The doorbell rang, pulling Lin Lang back to reality.

He walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

Why did Yan Li come over so late at night?

No, no, Yan Li is definitely not that unreserved. We already agreed to celebrate the Lantern Festival together tomorrow.

"Brother, it's me."

The sound was very quiet because of the door.

But Lin Lang still recognized it as Yang Xi's voice.

He walked over, opened the door, and saw Yang Xi, wearing a mask, standing at the door, looking somewhat nervous.

The reason why Yang Xi could attract so many old perverts even while wearing a mask is entirely because not only does she have a great figure, but her eyes are also particularly alluring.

Even after taking off her mask, she was still pretty, but she certainly couldn't match Yan Li's level of refinement.

"No, why are you here?"

Yang Xi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Didn't you ask me to come, brother?"

"I said it on purpose for your aunt to hear. Didn't I send you a message specifically so you could find an excuse to go back?"

"Oh? Um... I forgot to check my phone..."

Lin Lang: "...Alright, come in first."

It's not good to just stand at the door.

Actually, Lin Lang had another question: how did Yang Xi arrive at his floor so accurately?

Yang Xi knew which room she was staying in, but the elevator required a card, and if she asked the front desk for help, the front desk would definitely call her.

Of course, it's also possible that Yang Xi was lucky and happened to run into a guest living on the same floor as her, so she took advantage of the elevator ride.

After Yang Xi came in, he said, "Brother, are you busy?"

"Well, there's still something I haven't finished. When are you planning to go back to school with Wang Shengnan?"

Lin Lang sat at the desk, while Yang Xi sat on the corner of the bed.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after that we have to report for school, and the day after that school officially starts."

Yang Xi's gaze never left Lin Lang.

"Don't feel pressured. Although you signed a 30 million contract with Big Fish Media, I think that if all goes well, you can pay it off in three or four years. You can even make some money afterward, enough for you and your aunt to live a comfortable life for the rest of your days..."

However, Yang Xi shook her head, "Brother, I know, I'm not worth that much money."

“Worth it! Wang Shengnan casually gave the company an idea, which could potentially yield millions in returns in the future. Your value is very high…”

“But I also approached a media company before, and they weren’t even willing to offer a guaranteed contract.”

"That's because they lack vision, and they have limited channels, so they don't know how to manage your traffic."

"My value is tied to you, brother. Without you, I'm worthless..."

"No, why are you being so polite with me? Once you've paid off the contract and are making money, just treat me to a few more meals."

"But... I'm afraid you'll get taken advantage of... I heard that in order to limit those internet celebrities who can help you make money, you ask them to cooperate with you to take some photos. Although we've known each other since we were little, but..."

"Where did you hear that?"

Lin Lang felt it was just weird; why couldn't good news spread, while the rumors spread so widely by that bastard Qin Haiyang?

"Brother, please take the picture for me. I won't feel at ease if you don't."

"Is this your excuse for pretending you didn't see the WeChat message? Come on, go back to sleep. I'm going to spend the Lantern Festival with Yan Li tomorrow."

After Lin Lang learned the reason, he got up and chased the person away.
