Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Jiang Wen did not reply to Yang Che immediately. He had to read it twice more, find a bunch of flaws, and then read the original work again to find another bunch of flaws.

Before he knew it, it was past 4 p.m. on August 8th when Jiang Wen finally called to arrange a meeting with Yang Che.

"I'm so sorry, I'm in Hong Kong."

Jiang Wen's tone was full of regret: "I see. Then...when will you be back? Let's meet up."

"Hmm...it'll probably be about a week from now."

"Well... okay then."

Goodbye, let's talk when we meet.

Jiang Wen had wanted to say that they could talk on the phone, but he had no choice but to hang up, feeling incredibly frustrated.

Yang Che wasn't really trying to provoke Lao Jiang; there was no need for it. He was currently at the Chengfeng Film Studio in Hong Kong, and as soon as he got out of the car, he felt like he had entered a steam room, which made him slightly irritable.

I encountered two rain showers on the way from the airport, but now the sun is shining again. Ah, the port city in August.

"Sister Kuan, it's been a long time."

"Hello, A-Che."

Chiu Li-kuan looked her up and down, then continued, "It's someone's birthday, and you're not even preparing a gift?"

Yang Che patted his chest: "Isn't that enough?"

"Drop it."

After making a sarcastic remark, Chiu Li-kuan burst into laughter.

Her feelings for Yang Che have returned to how they were when they first met, and they feel great about each other.

This is what happened after Chen Jiaying recounted his attitude towards Tongtong and his words to La Ying.

Of course, the most important thing is Wang Fei's attitude. After all, Wang Fei is determined to be with him, and as her manager, she can't go against her wishes. She's not like La Ying, who has no brains and low emotional intelligence.

The two then entered the film set, but Chiu Li-kuan led him into the dressing room.

"Wait a minute, we're still filming. Fei wants to see you, what's the point of filming now?"

Yang Che chuckled, quite pleased with himself.

With a face radiating the sweet and sour scent of love, Chiu Li-Kuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

Yang Che snapped out of his reverie: "Preparing for a new movie, getting ready to direct it myself."

Chiu Li-kuan immediately became interested: "Really? What kind of subject matter?"

Yang Che then gave her a brief explanation, omitting the part about schizophrenia, but only outlining the plot.

"Why did you decide to make this kind of movie?"

"To show off, to win awards."

Chiu Li-kuan was taken aback for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "So honest. I heard from A-Fei that you have two folk songs and are planning to make an album. I advise you to do it as soon as possible. Now there's online music, and you can openly start piracy. With more and more computer users, making music will become less and less profitable."

Yang Che gave Qiu Likuan a thumbs up for her assessment, then asked curiously, "What online music?"

"Nine Heavens Music Network. We contacted them, and they said they don't make a profit, and the spirit of the internet is sharing. It infuriates me."

Yang Che silently memorized the name, and later asked Yu Wenhao to study it and make a copy as soon as possible, waiting for the era of ringback tones to arrive. Just like 360's mobile version now, waiting for the Mobile Dream Network at the end of the year.

Speaking of this Mobile Dream Network, as long as you browse it on your mobile phone, both the mobile network and the website will generate revenue. If you add some word games, daily jokes, daily stock information, daily news, and other mobile monthly subscription services, the revenue will be even greater.

Of course, 360's website is now generating revenue. Because of the end of the "Happy Times" talent show last month, its reputation has soared again. Mainly, brands now recognize that it's a legitimate website and no longer just a knock-off site that talks about celebrity gossip.

The GG format involves adding a few words to the homepage, such as "[Latest Nokia Model]". Clicking on it redirects to a text-based introductory post. Of course, redirecting to external sites is not a good idea, and adding pictures is even more out of the question. This is the kind of situation I handled. The price was 18,800 yuan per month, and I took on six such cases in total.

Everyone was quite satisfied.

"Try to think positively. Once the period of unregulated growth is over, when a singer releases a song on a website for 1.99 yuan, and 20 million people buy it, that's 100 million yuan. They'll earn more than they do now."

"hehe."

Chiu Li-kuan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

"hehe."

Yang Che smiled but didn't say anything more, because Wang Fei pushed the door open and entered.

She had long hair parted in the middle, wore light makeup, and was dressed in a white sleeveless straight cotton and linen dress with slippers, looking very charming.

Yang Che stood up, smiling as he stretched out his arms.

In front of everyone, Wang Fei, unusually, did not resist his intimacy. She seemed to jump and throw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you."

After that, the two left the film set hand in hand.

The paparazzi from Hong Kong, who hadn't appeared when Yang Che arrived, suddenly appeared, and a flurry of camera shutters clicked.

"Mr. Yang, what birthday present have you prepared? Are you planning to propose?"

"Wang Fei, do you have any plans to get married?"

"Mr. Yang, what's your opinion on the magazine calling you 'Cheche'?"

"........."

The philanthropist Yang Che breathed in the humid air and felt that these paparazzi were working too hard and should be thrown into the sea to cool off.

No matter how noisy the paparazzi were, neither of them said anything. Yang Che simply led her forward, while Wang Fei smiled easily behind him.

The two then returned to Baosong Garden. Well, Wang Fei didn't throw any birthday party today. Even though her boyfriend wasn't there, she hadn't planned to. After spending the morning at the airport and the afternoon filming a music video, all she wanted to do was lie down, even just sprawl out...

This is perfectly normal. They're middle-aged, haven't seen each other for over a month, their periods have just ended, and they're in the honeymoon phase. The only reason they didn't make love in the car is because they weren't in a motorhome…

Forty-seven minutes later, Wang Fei was very satisfied.

"You've had an IUD inserted?"

"Um."

"Then I'll give you a ring too."

As Yang Che spoke, he groped around on the side of the pillow, but couldn't find it.

"Um?"

Wang Fei's eyes widened at this moment, and she couldn't help but think of the questions asked by the paparazzi on set earlier... Could it be?

For a moment she was stunned, glancing sideways at him, only to see him bent over, holding onto the edge of the bed, searching for something on the floor…

She felt a sharp pain in her teeth and, quite inexplicably, kicked the buttock that was even more perky than hers.

"I'm Ji Ou!"

Yang Che cried out in surprise and fell to the ground.

"Wang Fei!!! He hasn't gone down yet, ouch..."

When he kicked him, Wang Fei felt like he was sick, and now, hearing his groans, he panicked.

"Are you alright? Let me see. Should we go to the hospital?"

When she crawled over, she saw him turn over and hold up a small box with both hands. However, her gaze was not on the box, but on the crucial spot with concern, and then she reached out to touch it.

This put Yang Che in a very difficult position. Well, he couldn't blame him, after all, it concerned his lower body, oops, his happiness for the rest of his life.

"Hey, hey, look at this, look at this."

Wang Fei held it in one hand and looked up at him, only to see him dangling a purple safety buckle, which looked as transparent as a piece of plastic under the bedside lamp.
