Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 361 Double Happiness
"I hope so!"
Duan Jiabao forced a smile.
After a while, Jiang Xiaoguo prepared the nitrogen balloon and tied the rope to his bed frame.
Looking at the nitrogen balloons floating in the air, Luo Yan dug out two boxes of snail noodles from the locker under her desk and said with a smile:
"Xiaoguo, would you like some snail noodles?"
"don't want!"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at Luo Yan, who was smiling awkwardly, and said,
"I know you're busy playing games, wait, I'll go make you some!"
"Thank you, Xiaoguo, you are so nice!"
Laughing, Luo Yan handed both boxes of snail noodles to Jiang Xiaoguo and said:
"Give Dabao one portion too, you really don't want to eat it?"
"No, I don't have much appetite!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaoguo took the two boxes of snail noodles from Luo Yan and walked towards the bathroom, because the hot water he usually prepared was placed on the sink in the bathroom.
Open the outer packaging of the snail noodles, tear open the seasoning packet and pour in the seasoning, then use boiling water to brew it, stir it slightly, and the fishy smell accompanied by the steaming water mist came to the nose, which made people nauseous. Jiang Xiaoguo felt a churning in his stomach, as if something suddenly rushed up from the stomach to the throat, making people feel extremely nauseous and uncomfortable. Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help vomiting twice, and quickly covered his mouth with his right hand, and lay in the sink to dry heave, but only vomited some clear water.
"Xiao Guo, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Guo, are you feeling sick again?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's retching, Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao rushed into the bathroom, gently patting her back and anxiously saying with worry on their faces:
"Xiao Guo, shall we go to the hospital?"
"Yeah, let's go to the hospital. You keep feeling nauseous. Are you pregnant?"
Duan Jiabao gently patted Jiang Xiaoguo's back to help her relieve her nausea, and said seriously:
"I have a distant cousin who is my high school classmate and her friend's best friend's classmate. When she was pregnant, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit just like you do now. She had no appetite for anything except sour and sweet food, such as sour plums!"
As he spoke, Duan Jiabao looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, who was still retching in the sink, and asked:
"Xiao Guo, are you like this too?"
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, Jiang Xiaoguo felt much better, and the whole world became fresher. He turned on the faucet, rinsed his mouth with tap water, and washed his face. Jiang Xiaoguo then stood up straight, looked at Duan Jiabao and smiled:
"Duan Jiabao, if I'm really pregnant, I'll tear your crow mouth to pieces!"
"Why?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo had recovered, Duan Jiabao said with a smile:
"If you are really pregnant, you should tear Yuan Xudong apart. He is the one who is really causing trouble for you. Why do you want to tear him apart?"
"That's right. I think what Dabao said makes sense. You should tear Yuan Xudong apart by hand, or make him take responsibility!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan joined in the fun and said:
“Otherwise, it will be like what’s shown in movies and TV shows, where you give birth to a child outside and raise the child alone. When the child is seven or eight years old, you bring the child back and stage a sweet but abusive love story between a domineering president and a Cinderella who gave birth to his child. In the early stage, the hero abuses the heroine, and in the later stage, the heroine abuses the hero, and the hero chases his wife to the crematorium!”
"Go away, you've watched too much TV, right?"
Seeing Luo Yan, who was even more capable of arguing than Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo could not help but wave his hands and said with disdain:
"You are so talented and have such a vivid imagination, why don't you write romance novels?"
"The key is that no one reads it!"
After the joke, seeing Jiang Xiaoguo's face not looking very good, Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao slightly restrained their smiles and advised:
"Xiao Guo, let's go to the hospital for a checkup. It's better to be safe than sorry!"
"That is, what if, what if you are really pregnant?"
"How can there be so many unexpected things?"
Jiang Xiaoguo glared at Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao, but despite saying this, she was still very worried. After all, that's how movies and TV shows play out. After a little hesitation, Jiang Xiaoguo nodded and agreed:
"Well, let's go to the hospital for a checkup, so you two don't have to worry about it all day long!"
"Let's go, come back quickly!"
…
Accompanied by Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo went to the Second People's Hospital for a physical examination. Amid the congratulations of the doctor on duty, Jiang Xiaoguo walked out of the hospital's outpatient building with the test results in his hand, looking a little lost, muttering to himself:
"What's going on? I just broke up with Yuan Xudong, and then I got pregnant. So whose child is this?"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's mumbling, Duan Jiabao slightly widened his eyes and said in surprise:
"Isn't this child Yuan Xudong's?"
"Really?"
Luo Yan, who was standing by, was also shocked and said:
"Xiao Guo, please don't scare us. Is this child really not Yuan Xudong's?"
"Not a head!"
Jiang Xiaoguo glared at Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, then held the test report in his left hand, stroked his belly with his right hand, and muttered to himself:
"But I've broken up with him. Will he still recognize the child? If he doesn't recognize the child, should I give birth to the child?"
As he spoke, without waiting for Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan to speak, Jiang Xiaoguo said with annoyance:
"It must be because we stayed in the hotel that night and didn't take any safety measures. What the hell is going on?"
"Xiao Guo, it's okay!"
Duan Jiabao comforted Jiang Xiaoguo and said:
"Let's go find Yuan Xudong now and ask him to take responsibility for you and the baby in your belly!"
"What about Liang Shuang?"
Looking at Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo was somewhat embarrassed and said:
"Besides, I don't want to have a baby so early. If I choose to have a baby, what will happen to my current job? I finally became the president's assistant, and now it's over?"
"So what do you think?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who didn't know what to do, Duan Jiabao frowned slightly and said:
"You don't want to keep this child?"
"I have no idea!"
Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Duan Jiabao and asked:
"Dabao, do you think I should want it?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo looking at him, Duan Jiabao quickly passed the blame to Luo Yan:
"Ask Shitou. She has a lot of ideas. She should know!"
"Stone?"
Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Luo Yan and said, seeing that she was also stroking her belly with her hands like him, she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. She didn't even hear him calling her, so Jiang Xiaoguo called her again:
"Stone?"
"ah?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo calling her, Luo Yan suddenly came back to her senses and said with some confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"fine!"
Looking at Luo Yan, whose face was bewildered and even slightly pale, Jiang Xiaoguo asked doubtfully:
"Shitou, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
"No, nothing!"
Seeing Duan Jiabao and Jiang Xiaoguo looking at her like this, Luo Yan blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, Xiaoguo, what did you ask me just now?"
Looking at Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo asked again:
"Shi Tou, do you think I should have this child?"
"I can't be your boss on such a big matter!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan said directly:
"I can only say that you need to think carefully about such a big matter. The child is yours and Yuan Xudong's, and only the two of you can make the decision. You must be responsible for both yourselves and the child. However, no matter what your final choice is, whether you want this child or not, Dabao and I will always be with you!"
"I understand. Thank you, Stone!"
"Thank you for what?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who was being polite to her, Luo Yan forced a smile. In fact, she was just talking. If such a big thing really happened to her, she would be ten times more nervous and flustered than Jiang Xiaoguo. Moreover, she had also spent a whole night with Yuan Xudong. She was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. What if she...
Thinking of the scary place, Luo Yan couldn't help but turn pale, and had a faint feeling of wanting to vomit. Seeing her like this, Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Shitou, what's wrong with you?"
"Shi Tou, why are you so pale?"
"No, it's okay!"
In her heart, she comforted herself that it couldn't be such a coincidence. It was all her illusion, caused by her being too nervous. On the surface, Luo Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and changed the subject:
"By the way, Xiaoguo, when are you going to tell Yuan Xudong?"
"I have no idea!"
Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Xiaoguo said in confusion:
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell him when I have thought about it!"
"Okay, then remember to hurry up!"
"Well, let's go back first, I'm a little tired!"
"Okay, let's go!"
…
The sun rises and the moon sets, and more than a month passes in the blink of an eye.
Probably because of having children, Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang, and Yuan Xudong have all changed a lot.
During this month, the first person to join was Liang Shuang, whose dream had always been to become a beauty blogger under the spotlight, and the same was true when she joined Star Entertainment Live Broadcasting Company. However, a company is a company after all, and its ultimate goal is to make maximum profits, not to satisfy the dreams of its artists.
It is precisely because of this, and the fact that Liang Shuang's IQ is inversely proportional to her appearance, that she signed the contract casually. The end result is that Liang Shuang cannot accept endorsement contracts only according to her own wishes. The few requirements she originally raised did not include this aspect. In addition to endorsing the cosmetics and skin care products she wanted to endorse, Xingyu Live Broadcasting Company also arranged many other endorsement contracts for her.
For example, if the ham was disgusting, Liang Shuang had to say it was delicious against his conscience; if the vegetables and fruits were obviously not green and environmentally friendly organic, Liang Shuang had to say they were pure natural and pollution-free, and so on.
It is obvious that the product does not meet the actual requirements, but there are all kinds of testing certificates. According to the contract, Liang Shuang must obey the company's arrangements, otherwise it will be a breach of contract and a penalty of at least 300,000 yuan will be imposed. He has obviously not made a penny yet, but if he disobeys, he will have to pay the company at least 300,000 yuan in liquidated damages out of his own pocket.
At the beginning, Liang Shuang endured it silently. She didn't want to tell Yuan Xudong, for fear that he would scold her and laugh at her. She could only eat the ham and organic fruits she endorsed with an expressionless face, saying woodenly that they were delicious. Her expression didn't look like they were delicious at all. Her eyes were full of disgust and she almost vomited while eating.
Liang Shuang's original intention was to use this negative attitude to confront the company, and at the same time remind her fans not to buy these junk products. As a result, for some reason, in the same company, those anchors who tried hard to recommend the products could not sell many products, while the negative Liang Shuang became the anchor with the highest sales. She suddenly became the sales expert and the number one live broadcast host in the Xingyu Live Broadcasting Company.
Just like that, Liang Shuang miraculously established herself in the Star Entertainment Live Broadcasting Company and gained a certain say. She could accept advertising endorsements according to her own wishes. After all, the penalty for breach of contract was only 300,000 yuan, and the company did not want to lose the big picture for the small and let her cash cow run to other live broadcasting companies.
During the live broadcast, the more arrogant and domineering Liang Shuang's attitude was, and the more disgusted and contemptuous her eyes were, the more the spectators bought into her. They called her all kinds of titles, such as the grumpy female anchor, the ice queen, the eternal goddess, the leader of the jade girls, etc. Anyway, the more they were scolded for being cheap, the more they liked her. Their values were determined by their appearance!
Secretly, in order to encourage and support Liang Shuang, Yuan Xudong also registered a live broadcast account specifically for giving her rewards. In the beginning, he was always the number one on the list, and he had brushed ten silver . As a result, a lot of gold alliances suddenly appeared later, which was a waste of money. The thrifty Yuan Xudong quietly withdrew from the throne of the number one on the list. During the day, he watched those local tycoons mocking him for being poor, and at night he went home and hugged the goddess in their eyes to sleep, and he immediately felt relieved.
With the support of those true fans, Liang Shuang's career is booming. According to her career plan, she plans to stay in the Internet celebrity circle for a while to accumulate fan popularity, and then enter the entertainment industry after giving birth. She likes to stand under the spotlight and let those spectators worship her like a goddess. Yuan Xudong also supports her because he likes to sleep with goddesses.
Of course, it is not so easy to sleep with the goddess. If you want the goddess to be your goddess forever, then you can only be the capital tycoon behind the goddess, just like Xiaolongnu’s godfather. In the TV series, Xiaolongnu is the mount of the dragon knight Yin Zhiping, and the aunt and master of the one-armed hero Yang Guo. But in reality, she has always been the godfather’s sweet little cotton-padded jacket, living in the Jinfei Apartment. Whenever I think of Feifei being held in the arms of her godfather, my heart aches!
Back to the point, Yuan Xudong's career has also been rising steadily. Most recently, with Pulin Capital and Lanhe Capital competing to raise the price, because of Jiang Xiaoguo, the two companies tacitly offered 40 million yuan. Yuan Xudong sold all his shares in Hongcha Studio to Pulin Capital, leaving no shares behind, and then invested all the proceeds into the gold and crude oil markets.
The world is always in turmoil. Today there is a trade war, tomorrow there is a geopolitical conflict, and from time to time there is a war of faith, economic blockades and sanctions. In order to cope with high inflation, the United States is ready to start printing money to reap the world. Apart from land, natural resources are the most valuable. Yuan Xudong can't touch some sensitive things, so he can only invest in gold and crude oil. Although Yuan Xudong has always hoped for world peace, God always likes to go against him.
In general, Liang Shuang is preparing to enter the entertainment industry to make money, and Yuan Xudong is preparing to make great plans in the financial circle. One is cultivating fan popularity, and the other is reaping the benefits of the family wealth. Just as the "New Testament Matthew" says, to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance; from him who has not, his remainder will be taken away. Only in this way can they have a devout faith.
