Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 515 Family
Hearing the good news that both of them had exceeded [-] million, Ma Liang felt extremely comfortable.

He proudly ordered to his assistant Lu Zhengyang: "Okay, you have been working hard enough during this period. Arrange your work well, take a few days off first, and take a rest before talking.

However, we cannot take it completely lightly. We still need to keep an eye on the market to prevent anyone from continuing to do evil things. "

During the Chinese New Year, you can't use people as livestock to death. You have to take a few days off.

However, as his boss's assistant, he is also considered a senior executive in the group, and he certainly cannot have as much freedom as ordinary employees.

Although you are not on call 24 hours a day, you must shoulder your work responsibilities.

"Don't worry, boss, I will keep an eye on you even if it's a holiday." Lu Zhengyang immediately expressed his loyalty.

A few days ago, "Yangtze River No. [-]" was involved in the project of peripheral products of the movie, which almost scared him.

As a result, the boss not only did not reprimand him, but also turned his hands into rain and immediately settled the matter.

And just yesterday, his boss gave him a big year-end bonus red envelope.

The number of red envelopes is enough to improve the quality of life of an ordinary family of four by several levels.

Even Lu Zhengyang, a native of the magical city, couldn't help but take a breath when he saw it.

To know that his parents can send him to study abroad is enough to show that the family conditions are not bad.The classmates and friends around me are basically middle-class and above.

But even so, Lu Zhengyang had never heard of several bosses being so generous.

This was too arrogant. Just a red envelope gave him a new understanding of his boss.

Ma Liang is not panicking because of too much money, but actually rewards based on merit.

The project of peripheral derivative products of "Yangtze River No. [-]" was handled from beginning to end by assistant Lu Zhengyang with a small team, and he was not worried about it at all.

Seeing that the project was going to make a lot of money, as a boss, he couldn't be too stingy.

If you want a horse to run, you have to make it eat more grass.If you don't even know this bit of human sophistication, then don't do business.

So not only did Ma Liang give Lu Zhengyang a big red envelope, but everyone in the small team he led also received a generous bonus.

After all, the sales of derivative products surrounding movies have a long-tail effect, and even if "Yangtze River No. [-]" is released, it will still sell well for a while.

As long as the operation is good, the revenue from peripheral products may be several times that of the box office.

You must know that the average ticket price in the domestic movie market is only about 40 yuan, but a small-sized genuine Qizai doll costs [-] to [-] yuan, and a large one costs [-] to [-] yuan.

If it is a limited edition, it costs more than 100 yuan and there are many girls rushing to get it.

In addition to dolls, there are many other peripheral derivative products.Such as keychains, figures, accessories, stationery, mobile phone straps, pillows, etc., there are many types that can be developed.

Moreover, the vitality of these peripheral derivative products is very strong, and some categories can even be sold for a year or two without any major problems.

Ma Liang is even planning to encourage Master Xing to make a sequel to "Yangtze River No. [-]" in two years.

……

After sending the assistant away, Ma Liang left the office and drove straight to [Ziyuan]. Sister Bingmei was still at home waiting for him to reunite.

It only took about twenty minutes, and we quickly arrived at the place.

As soon as the car was parked, the cute little Su Xiaomo heard the sound and ran forward.

"Brother, why are you here? Momo has been waiting all day." The little guy hugged his thigh and acted coquettishly.

This kid is getting closer and closer to him now, and he has been waiting at the door since noon.

Ma Liang rubbed the cute baby's little head and coaxed softly: "Brother is busy at work. I'll be here as soon as I get off work!"

The little cutie is about to turn a year older, and the baby-like appearance she once had is gradually disappearing.

She has grown a lot taller in the past six months, and now even if Ma Liang wants to hug her, it's a bit inappropriate.

"Brother, let's go in quickly. Mom and sister are video chatting."

The little guy took his hand and walked quickly into the house.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the rich woman sitting on the sofa holding a laptop and having a video call with the big girl.

"Don't deal with me at the New Year's Eve dinner. Remember to have a good meal in the evening. I won't come back even if I ask you to go home. What does it matter if you take a few days off?"

Yan Bing felt sorry for her eldest daughter who was spending the New Year alone in the United States, and couldn't help but talk about it again.

"Don't worry, I won't be hungry. I'm currently working on a project with Lily. I will definitely go back during the summer vacation!"

Su Xiaomi at the other end of the video immediately explained that she actually missed her mother and sister too.

But not only are there classes at school, but my roommates and I have recently started working on a website in private, and it’s now the most critical time.So I can only give up the idea of ​​going home to celebrate the New Year and wait until the summer vacation.

Seeing this, Ma Liang walked up to her in a few steps, sat down next to the rich woman, and said hello to the big girl: "Hi, Xiaomi, happy New Year!"

"Well. Happy New Year!" Su Xiaomi was stunned for a moment, but still responded weakly.

Although I hope Ma Liang can take good care of her mother and sister, the meaning behind this guy running to his house during the Chinese New Year is completely different.

Could it be that this boy, who was not a few years older than him, really wanted to become a family and prepare to be his stepfather?
Su Xiaomi shook her head and immediately got rid of this idea from her mind.

She still couldn't face this reality. What was this? Why should she face this kind of thing?

Just when she was filled with grief and anger, her roommate Li Li suddenly rushed to the computer and made a blessing gesture towards Ma Liang: "Marlon, Happy New Year!"

Li Li had already greeted Yan Bing before, but she never expected that Ma Liang would appear in the video call.

"Hi, Lily, happy Spring Festival!" Ma Liang greeted politely.

Li Li suddenly reacted, and with a curious look on his face, he planned to ask: "Hey! Marlon, why are you here? Um..."

As a result, Su Xiaomi immediately covered her mouth, preventing her from continuing to ask further questions.

"No more talking, let's leave it at that!" Su Xiaomi immediately hung up the video call, for fear that her roommate would keep asking questions.

Yan Bing originally had a lot to say to her daughter, but when the eldest girl suddenly hung up, she couldn't help but shook her head: "Oh, this child is getting weirder and weirder!

If this continues, I don’t know which stinky man will get me in the future. "

As he spoke, he looked at Ma Liang next to him with a headache, trying to find some comfort.

"I don't know where to go. It's impossible for me to go anyway." Ma Liang complained angrily.

Yan Bing immediately rolled her eyes at him: "It goes on day by day, and nothing happens."

While the two were flirting, in the Stanford University student apartment on the other side of the ocean, Li Li was questioning Su Xiaomi with a gossipy face.

"Mia, shouldn't we spend the Chinese Spring Festival together with our families? But why is Marlon at your house today?"

"I'm here. What's the big deal!" Su Xiaomi didn't want to face reality at all, so she couldn't be in the mood to answer this question.

But Li Li's curiosity was now fully aroused, so how could he let her go so easily: "Could it be that Marlon...?"

"What about him? Are you annoyed?" Seeing her reluctance, Su Xiaomi had to pretend to be fierce.

If you keep asking, the secret will really be revealed.

When Li Li saw that his roommate was angry, he muttered angrily: "Isn't it just an arranged marriage? What's the big deal!"

She obviously misunderstood and thought Su Xiaomi and Ma Liang were getting married on the fingertips.

It was also her grandma who told her a lot of feudal dross stories when she was little, which led her to imagine a lot of bloody plots.

It was precisely because of the mistaken belief that it was this very close relationship that Ma Liang showed up at Su Xiaomi's house like a family member on New Year's Eve. She directly thought that she was paying New Year's greetings to her elders.

"You still said that?" Su Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had misunderstood.

Li Li immediately shut up, and then said flatteringly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Mia, it's New Year's Eve this year, what should we eat tonight?"

"I'm so angry with you that I don't want to eat anything." Su Xiaomi planned to give this roommate a good treatment.

What if this silly girl discovers the secret of the family one day?

Mia was indeed tricked and immediately begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I promise not to talk nonsense again.

Mia, would you like to invite me to Xifuju for an authentic New Year's Eve dinner tonight? "

It had been several months since she had eaten authentic Chinese food, and the glutton in her stomach began to protest.

"You're good enough. Let's go quickly. If we don't go for a while, there won't be any room in Xifuju." Su Xiaomi nodded with satisfaction, grabbed Sha Niu's roommate and rushed out the door.

Not long after, they appeared in the private room of Xifuju.

The two of them ordered a large table of dishes, all of which were made with high-quality ingredients. Even if they were served in China, they would be just as good as a dinner at home.

But watching the silly girl roommate feasting, Su Xiaomi had a bad appetite.

She thought of her home thousands of miles away again, and of the "family" who was having New Year's Eve dinner with her mother and sister.
