Reborn Cultural Empire

114. Hearing the wind

After all, Dingchen didn't continue the negotiation, but went back to Shanghai that night with the embarrassment of hitting a wall.And Luo Ge and Yang Yi also deeply realized the fact that Xiao Mingnan's "Qin Pi style review" is very bad.

After coming out of Siyue, he hung up the phone at home, but was told by his mother, "Good son, mom is going to play poker outside tonight, and you cook for yourself." Yang Yi stood at the intersection for a long time in a daze, and finally I still choose to go to the hospital. Su Wan's mother will be discharged from the hospital at night, so she can go and help her.

At the same time, Xiao Mingnan, who had already returned to Yuezhou Publishing Group, was looking out of the window with the assistant's puzzled eyes, looking in a great mood.

"If you want to ask anything, just ask directly, it will blow your mind!" The person Xiao Mingnan was talking to was his assistant Zeng Yun, who graduated from University of Shanghai majoring in social relations and later studied at Cambridge. Xiao Mingnan was extremely talented. The successor he valued, that's why he repeatedly made exceptions and gave advice on issues he didn't understand.

"Mr. Xiao, why do you want to get involved with this Yunzhong Bookstore? They Siyue and they don't have their own sales channels. Even if this bookstore can dominate Yuezhou, it still lives in the southeast corner after all. What can it do?"

Xiao Mingnan smiled. When Rogo was soliciting funds from all over the place a while ago, almost everyone thought so. This is also the main reason why Rogo returned empty-handed despite his good connections.

And I thought so at the beginning, so I missed the wonderful performance on New Year's Day. If I had agreed to those two boys at that time, wouldn't he have made a big splash this time with Yuezhou Publishing?

"Do you know what the market value of Siyue Culture was half a year ago?" Xiao Mingnan casually threw a document in his hand onto the desk, then turned around and looked out the window. The posture changes rapidly, like a country under the turmoil of this era.Countless people are just one of these clouds that can't help themselves, while the other very small part is a high-altitude hurricane that can't be seen or touched, but dominates the fate of most people. A random and wanton swallowing will have the fate of countless people Change for it.

"Less than 2000 million." Zeng Yun is generally clear about these data.

Xiao Mingnan shook his head: "700 million, half a year ago, this statistic wasn't that amazing, but it is considered a very strong force in private publishing houses operating through backdoors."

"Any publisher in the group is better than them!"

"Oh?" Xiao Mingnan responded in a very flat tone, and then stared at Zeng Yun: "Any family is better than Siyue? Do you know what the current market value of Siyue is?"

"The latest report hasn't come out yet. The main reason is that the sales of several major bestsellers they have recently written are still being counted." Sensing that the boss's attitude is not good, Zeng Yun lowered his voice and put away his words. A disdainful tone.

"What about the evaluation report? What about the things I taught you?" Xiao Mingnan glanced coldly at Zeng Yun: "If you want to sit in my position, you must judge a publishing company anytime, anywhere based on the trends in the book market. The ability of recent situation!"

"Yes." The young assistant lowered his head obediently.

Xiao Mingnan frowned, and heaved a sigh of relief: "700 million, this is the most conservative estimate! And as long as that little guy like Yang Yi is still thinking about reading, this number will double again!"

"I understand, Mr. Xiao."

"Oh?" Xiao Mingnan looked back at Zeng Yun for the first time looking at the successor who quickly realized his own shortcomings and was able to draw inferences from one instance: "What do you understand?"

"The reason why Mr. Xiao wants to cooperate with Siyue on the project of Yunzhong Bookstore is because he is optimistic about Yang Yi's potential."

"Almost!" Xiao Mingnan was quiet for a while, and then nodded leisurely: "In the past six months, Siyue's development route has hardly made any major mistakes, but the market value has doubled like a rocket, which is a good explanation! If so, It’s nothing for me to take their express train. Although they seem idiotic to build such a bookstore without sales channels, it’s precisely this abnormality that makes me firm in my confidence to cooperate with Siyue .”

"But Mr. Xiao, they... seem to have not agreed to your request for cooperation."

"It's all about human effort." Xiao Mingnan smiled faintly: "Isn't it me who deliberately lured the boss of Dingchen Animation here? If we don't find some external pressure for those two brats, how will they know the value of allies!"

"Ah? But you did this..." Zeng Yun was stunned. He suddenly realized that he still had a lot to learn.

Xiao Mingnan "Huh?" looked at his assistant: "What should I do if they know what I did? Just put down my old face and apologize, what are you afraid of! Anyway, I think that little guy Yang Yi still likes this It's a trick, as long as you don't touch his bottom line, if you play foolishly, you'll pass by, that kid is a good guy."

He didn't know that he was issued a good person card by an old man, if he knew, Yang Yiyue would never meet Xiao Mingnan again even if he was beaten to death.

And this good man is now helping her mother into the house with Su Wan.

Although it has undergone a major renovation, the house is only internally modified. The appearance of the southern house remains unchanged. The wooden window lattices have been eroded into a dark yellow color by the rainy season. The swallow's nest is now empty, and its owner will not come home until next year's Grain Rain, and the clothes that Su Wan hung up when he went out in the morning are still hanging on the bamboo poles outside the house.

Yang Yi glanced at it inadvertently, and immediately turned his head away with a warm face, it was so embarrassing, the white little xiong, the same white and thorough little underwear, did not have the dreamy color of those girls, pink and purple Class, and no decorations such as lace bows, pure and crisp.

But there is still the magic that makes the heart beat fast.

Su Wan probably noticed the point of Yang Yi's gaze. In the bright orange sunset, the girl's complexion was glowing, and she couldn't see the slightest change, but the slender hands holding the clothes were like frightened birds.

……

"Xiao Yang, go sit down and let Wanwan come!" Su Wan's mother hastily greeted her, even though she was not in good health yet.

The backyard is paved with bluestone slabs, and at a glance, one can see how prosperous it will be in summer, withered morning glory vines, gold and silver vines, and roses with only thorns left. The same is true for the black lotus stems and the moss on the edge of the water tank, quietly waiting for the vitality of the coming year.

Su Wan scooped a spoonful of water from the water tank, and swept away the fallen leaves that drifted into the yard. People in the south of the Yangtze River seldom use brooms, and mops are more common.Seeing the girl's hands and feet bound, Yang Yi went over curiously to see that there was actually a lazy and seductive goldfish inside.

"Just eat here!" Su Wan's mother insisted, and then she showed off something: "Today let Wanwan cook, this woman cooked for me once yesterday, and she used to do other housework, and she didn't let her do anything." , I don’t know she has this ability.”

Su's mother's enthusiasm for retaining her was not too much, and Yang Yi did not have anything to eat when he went home, so he pretended to decline a few times, and then agreed.To be honest, he was very curious about Su Wan's culinary skills that could be praised by her mother.

And over there, the girl didn't speak, she was cleaning the vegetable leaves by the pool, her figure curled up like a normal southern girl.After a while, there was the sound of shovels and iron pans colliding, and the neighbor heard the movement here, and looked curiously from the narrow balcony on the second floor: "Dinner is ready so early? Oh, the little son-in-law is here!"

The mother in the yard spat, but she was obviously smiling, Yang Yi was embarrassed, Su Wan's shoulders trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to turn her head.

Plates of stir-fried dishes were served, maybe to celebrate my mother's discharge from the hospital, or maybe it was the first time to cook for the one in my heart, so the dinner was extremely rich, including snails, sea melon seeds, shrimp skin and winter melon soup, shiitake mushrooms, rapeseed tofu, green pepper squid, and Half-cut salted eggs and red yanyan oil hearts are piled on the plate.

By the time dinner was ready, the lights were dimmed, and the sound of the pressure cooker began to be heard from the neighbors, and there were still gossips between the couple.

This evening, life is ordinary and real, but the taste is strong, and it is a day that feels extremely fulfilling.

……

"You tomorrow?" When sending Yang Yi out, Su Wan seldom tilted her head. It was probably because of Yang's love for dinner just now. Feel slightly astringent and satisfied from the bottom of my heart.

There was nothing vigorous and vigorous between the two people, which could barely be regarded as shocking, but it was just a firm hand in hand in the square.Su Wan just looked at Yang Yi silently, giving when she felt she should, but in the end she kept it until the clouds opened to see the moonlight.

Lightly touched a dead leaf blown to the corner of the wall with the tip of her toes, the frosty moonlight leaked through the eaves and fell on Su Wan's side face, looking at the girlish appearance that the girl would never show in front of another person , Yang Yi had no doubts that the current feeling was happiness.

"Go to Siyue, I guess it will be very busy before the Chinese New Year!"

"Are you going to take the exam?" The girl who was usually calm and cold didn't dare to meet Yang's eyes at this moment, but this demeanor betrayed her intention of asking this question.

"No exam." Yang Yi took a deep breath, he felt that he really didn't have the courage to say other answers now.

The hand was suddenly held, cold and soft as if boneless. After a moment of blankness, the girl withdrew and retreated.

Yang Yi stood there in a daze, it wasn't the first time he held a girl's hand, but in the past there were reasons for everything.And Su Wan's initiative just now made him almost numb to the point of getting an electric shock.

Just walking out of the alley in such a trance, he didn't even realize that he passed by a group of noisy people.

Today is really a happy day.

But when he walked out of the alley, he found that the phone was forgotten at Su Wan's house. If the fat man couldn't find him tomorrow, Yang Yi would almost certainly see his resentful face.

I can only go back and get it, but when I think of holding hands just now, Yang Yi's mood is hard to calm down.

The door was not closed, it seems that the girl just now may not be much calmer than himself, thinking of this, Yang Yi felt a little warmth in his chest, and when he was about to call someone, there was a burst of chattering from the inner hall.

"You too, the fourth brother has been away for so many years, why didn't you tell us! No matter what, there is a layer of kinship here, who would turn his face and deny him? See for yourself, how thin Xiaowan has become It looks like it!"

Yang Yi stopped in astonishment, and only then vaguely remembered the group of people who just passed by him.

"That's right, you're doing it like this. The nong people in our area all think we are evil people! Even orphans and widowed mothers can't stand it! Xiaosi is Xiaosi. He's been away for so many years, which one of our family is going to be better? The old man left I was still calling his name all the time, so he was just stubborn, and he would not come back unless he gritted his teeth... If it wasn't for visiting Yuezhou that day and strolling in the square, I don't know how you two mother and daughter are doing now!"

Why does it sound like a relative of Su Wan, but when Yang Yi asked her several times before, didn't the girl always say that she and her mother depended on each other for life, and didn't they have any relatives anymore?

It was just those few voices talking back and forth, Su Wan and her mother didn't say a word, which made Yang Yi more suspicious, so he simply didn't make a sound, and stood silently in the hall listening.

It took about a quarter of an hour before a clue was clarified from the messy conversations among these people—these people were actually the brothers and sisters of Su Wan's deceased father.

The girl's father sounded like he was at odds with his family, so he left his hometown in Meicheng with his wife and daughter, and cut off contact with him ever since.And these people have ignored the mother and daughter for more than ten years, but now they suddenly come to the door, Yang Yi can understand their intentions with his ass.

"And let me tell you, sister, Wanwan is promising now, but you can't just let a girl show her face outside! You said that the New Year's Day event was not about the liar being caught in the end. Didn't Wan Wan be wronged and bullied for nothing?" If you only listened with your ears, anyone would think that the person who spoke was very angry.

Su Wan's mother argued: "Wanwan's autograph book sale was also arranged by her boss, and it is also her job now. How can she say that she won't show her face if she doesn't show her face?"

"Oh, sister, you don't understand!" The voice that spoke at the end said repeatedly: "Now there is a famous agent called an agent, and those big stars do it like this. They handle it, and they are the ones who are to blame! According to Wan Wan's current status, she should be assigned a manager, and she doesn't need to act as her own if any messy things happen to her."

Hearing this, Yang Yi finally couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, they should recommend themselves to be Su Wan's "manager". These relatives who came out of nowhere are really shameless These four words.

Thinking about his uncles and aunts again, Yang Yi suddenly felt that he was actually very happy. Although he had characters like his aunt He Ying and uncle Ma Jun, compared to Su Wan's relatives, he was really stronger than the sky. go.

Not bothering to listen anymore, Yang Yi pushed open the door and entered the inner hall: "Then you plan to let someone be Wan Wan's manager?"

Yang Yi's sudden appearance startled the people in the back room, but Su Wan and her mother frowned a lot after seeing Yang Yi's arrival.

A black-faced man stood up: "Who are you, why did you break into someone's house?"

After a woman next to him came back to her senses, she looked at Yang suspiciously for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and pulled the man's arm: "This boy seems to be the one on stage that day!"

What the woman said made all the men and women in the room pay attention to Yang Yi. After looking at each of them for a long time, they all came to understand.

"This little classmate, are you Wan Wan's classmate or her friend?" One of the women stared at Yang carefully for a long time before asking.

Normally, Yang Yi wouldn't bother to pay attention to these people, but now that Su Wan's mother didn't show her attitude, he couldn't just do it for him, and replied flatly: "It's all counted."

This attitude is undoubtedly difficult to satisfy those evil relatives, but their main energy is still on Su Wan's side, so they glanced at Yang Yi dissatisfiedly, and then turned back to Su Wan: "Wan Tell me later, if there was someone who could help you that day, how could you be wronged like this!"

"There is Yang Yi."

Her mother understood Su Wan's words, and Yang Yi understood what she said, but the uncles and aunts who hadn't seen her for more than ten years couldn't understand them. In the end, Su Wan's mother had to explain to them again.

At this moment, the faces of these men and women became weird, and resentment and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in their hearts.

Could it be that this kid wanted to climb higher because of his performance that day, and seeing his weird niece's performance, he actually took this "Yang Yi" as a reliance?How can this work!

"Wan Wan, you still don't have much contact with the society, you don't know what it means to be sinister, how can you hand everything over to outsiders!"

There were also indirect remarks from Su Wan's mother: "Sister, you are too! Xiao Wan is ignorant, and you will be ignorant too! Let outsiders meddle in our own affairs in the house!"

Uncle Su Wan, who was the first to get up, even gave Yang the eviction order: "That little classmate, we have something to do at home and it's inconvenient to receive guests. You'd better go back quickly!"

"Yeah? The house of feelings belongs to you! Wanwan and Auntie didn't tell me to leave!" Yang Yi looked at this man with pity and sympathy as if he was looking at an idiot.

Does this expose your faces?

Undoubtedly, Yang Yi's eyes angered Uncle Su Wan. He stood up and stared at the boy condescendingly, and put his arm around Yang Yi's shoulder, vaguely threatening violence: "You're pretty awesome, I'll tell you You said, don't be ignorant, little baby..."

Without waiting for him to continue talking, Su Wan picked up someone's teacup with a series of clattering sounds, and slammed it at her uncle's feet.

The eerie tranquility that was astounded to the extreme, the wind and rain came.
