Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

But when Zhong Xiaoqin arrived at the pet market with great enthusiasm... ☜✌ 6❾ˢ𝐇Ǘ𝕩.ᑕ𝑜𝐦 ♠♔

After she inquired about the price of tailless cats.

Zhong Xiaoqin completely dismissed this unrealistic idea.

From then on, she realized that tailless cats were cats she couldn't afford to keep. She couldn't even afford to keep one, while Li Haoyu kept a whole litter.

The key is:

That's not even the most infuriating thing.

Judging from Li Haoyu's post on WeChat Moments, that floor was actually his cat room, specifically for raising cats. There was even another floor dedicated to raising dogs.

What kind of fantastical, idyllic life is this?

So, with a try-it-and-see attitude, Zhong Xiaoqin searched for news about Snail Games online. To her surprise, she found a lot of related information.

What new force in the gaming industry, dark horse company, game going global, IPO exceeding 100 million?

There's a ton of news about Snail Games, and most importantly, the websites that published this news are all well-known and authoritative media outlets—the kind you see all the time on TV.

Zhong Xiaoqin faced this scene.

Even if she knows nothing about the gaming industry.

She also realized that the Snail Games were not as simple as Li Haoyu had made them out to be. Zhong Xiaoqin didn't know what to say, so she could only silently like each of Li Haoyu's posts on WeChat Moments.

Just at this time.

Zhong Xiaoqin's phone suddenly rang.

Zhong Xiaoqin answered the phone. ♘🐺 ➅9s𝕙ⓤｘ.ᶜ𝕠Μ ඏ🐉

Li Haoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You finally remembered me? I thought you'd completely forgotten me. I kept thinking, surely not. I thought you'd just run off with the bucket to scam me out of a meal?"

Zhong Xiaoqin listened to Li Haoyu's words.

She was utterly speechless.

Although she couldn't afford to invite Li Haoyu to her private meal last time, Zhong Xiaoqin wasn't so ignorant of even the most basic etiquette in social interactions.

She had previously invited Li Haoyu to dinner several times via WeChat.

However, Li Haoyu declined all offers, citing that he was too busy with work recently.

Now Li Haoyu is turning the tables and biting back.

Zhong Xiaoqin said somewhat indignantly, "Then I'll treat you to a meal today so you won't keep nagging me. Besides, how can you, a grown man, say something like that?"

In fact, Zhong Xiaoqin already knew about Li Haoyu's speaking style.

I also know Li Haoyu well; he often has a sharp tongue.

But this time, she was still angered by Li Haoyu's sarcastic remarks.

Li Haoyu heard Zhong Xiaoqin's exasperated voice.

He can already picture it in his mind; he can imagine Zhong Xiaoqin gritting her teeth and stomping her feet in anger.

Li Haoyu wasn't afraid of her getting angry; he was afraid of her remaining indifferent.

Li Haoyu decided to add fuel to the fire, "Then I'll wait for you downstairs. If you run away, there's nothing I can do."

Zhong Xiaoqin said angrily, "Send me your location, I'll be downstairs in a bit. ♟✎ ➅❾𝔰н𝕌ˣ.ςόΜ 👻♪"

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "Then I'll be looking forward to your arrival. Oh, and remember to bring your credit card."

Zhong Xiaoqin said with some surprise.

Why?

Li Haoyu said, "I was worried you didn't have enough money. Even with my credit card limit, it was barely enough."

Chung Hsiao-chin: !

!

She's not angry anymore.

Chung Hsiao-chin started to laugh in exasperation.

This world is outrageous.

How can this be so unfair?

It just so happens that this man is the one who makes her so angry.

She's thinking about starting her life over again.

This is really unfair.

Zhong Xiaoqin angrily hung up the phone and started packing her clothes to leave.

She hesitated for a moment, but as Li Haoyu had said, she brought her credit card. The exorbitant menu from last time felt like it had just happened, and to be on the safe side, she even pulled out her most treasured savings account.

She couldn't help but recall that lavish feast in the private kitchen.

It's so delicious!

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but blame herself, wondering why she hadn't been careful with her words last time. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

She originally intended to refuse last time.

But Li Haoyu kept tempting her, even sending her pictures of the dishes. How could a foodie like her resist?

Hey

Li Haoyu is simply a devil.

Not only is he glib-tongued?

And also very sarcastic and mean-spirited?

These are clearly all flaws!

But why is it that this wicked man always makes her lose her composure? God, please rescue me from this devil's clutches!

At this moment, another person started laughing.

That's Li Haoyu, the one whose phone call was hung up on by Zhong Xiaoqin.

Li Haoyu felt that Zhong Xiaoqin was indeed starting to take the bait.

Actually, there's a lot of strategy involved. Li Haoyu devised a special "Porcupine Plan" specifically for Zhong Xiaoqin. That's why Li Haoyu named his plan to win over Zhong Xiaoqin.

It was because of Li Haoyu that I once read this story.

A group of porcupines huddled together for warmth in winter, but they couldn't figure out how far apart they should be. If they got too close, their quills would prick each other; if they stayed too far apart, they wouldn't be warm enough.

After several attempts to adjust, they finally found the right distance.

There are actually strong principles of interpersonal communication involved here.

Li Haoyu's strategy utilized knowledge of interpersonal communication. In fact, the core strategy is quite simple and can be summarized in just twelve characters.

A lingering connection, a push-and-pull, a subtle flirtation.

Thinking about this, Li Haoyu himself couldn't hold back any longer.

Are his standards getting lower and lower?

Li Haoyu even questioned his own conscience, but to no avail. It wasn't that Li Haoyu wanted to avoid the answer.

But his guiding principle has always been: do good deeds and don't worry about the future.

This statement can be interpreted in two ways.

One interpretation is that the river is narrow and the current is swift, so people are desperate to survive. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, they still venture into the tiger's den.

Just focus on doing your own thing and don't worry about what happens next. Just like a narrow river channel makes the current swift, there will naturally be a solution when the time comes.

Another interpretation is: making things convenient for others makes things convenient for yourself.

Instead, we should focus on doing the things at hand well and to the best of our ability.

Then the path from the present to the future will gradually become clearer step by step. There's no right or wrong interpretation of this statement; it all depends on individual experience and understanding.

But right now, Li Haoyu is still busy chatting with Zhong Xiaoqin.

He doesn't have time to think about such a brain-teasing question right now.

After Li Haoyu sent Zhong Xiaoqin the location of Junyue Mansion.

He continued, "Where are you now?"

Chung Hsiao-chin quickly replied, "Didn't I just go downstairs and take a taxi to find you?"

Li Haoyu replied, "You did a good job. I'll buy you two coffees later. Mine is an iced Americano without sugar, but you can have whatever you like."

"Consider this the interest you've accrued for delaying things."

Chung Hsiao-chin: "???"
