Chapter 126

Actually, Biaozi and Lu Xiaoyan and the others' holiday hadn't ended yet; they just came back today to see everyone and, incidentally, to show off.

Alright, actually, the main reason was to show off, so they stayed overnight; this showing off had to be done thoroughly.

After the lights were out and they were in bed, Mei Wenhua stated that after deducting costs and expenses, the two brothers had earned a full 500 yuan, 250 each—that was more than a year's wages for them!

Yet, including the travel and the selling of goods, it only took seven or eight days in total; it was simply exhilarating.

However, for Wei Ming, who was carrying a huge sum of over 5,000 yuan, this couldn't stir his emotions at all; he was more concerned about how Biaozi got the injury on his eye, and what could make him smile so disgustingly.

"It was Yanzi who did it~" he squirmed on the bed.

Wei Ming was even more curious: "How did you mess with Yanzi, for Yanzi to mess with you like that?"

Biaozi couldn't control his laughter: "I, I kissed her!"

Mei Wenhua, who was excitedly telling Brother Feng how easy it was to make money doing business in Shenzhen, went silent. He looked at Biaozi on the lower bunk: "Damn, you loser, you're playing for real!"

Biaozi: "I just went to pay her back, and the way she counted the money was just too cute, I couldn't help but kiss her once."

"Where did you kiss her?" the other three asked in unison.

Biaozi: "On the face, where else could I kiss her."

It's not like he would kiss her butt.

Mei Wenhua felt a bit better, while Wei Ming asked: "You kissed her face, and then she gave you two punches?"

Biaozi reminisced: "At first it was one punch, then she went back to school. When she entered the door, someone noticed a red mark on her face, and then she came back and hit the other side too."

Brother Feng said with disdain: "You're such a big guy, and you let a little girl hit you like that? What about the combat techniques I taught you!"

Biaozi: "Brother Feng, you don't understand, this is called 'hitting is affection, scolding is love'; she never hits anyone else."

Wei Ming asked a key question: "Biaozi, did she take the money after she hit you?"

Biaozi: "She took it, and I also gave her what I earned, telling her it was all her profit."

Mei Wenhua had just learned about this: "Biaozi, are you stupid? Then you ran for nothing!"

"I want to let her feel that I have ability." Biaozi was lost in sweetness and couldn't pull himself out.

Wei Ming nodded: "If you kissed her and she threw the money in your face shouting 'dirty pervert,' then you'd be finished. Since she took the money, it's highly likely she's just shy, and if she didn't hit you, her hands would itch. It seems you two don't have any big problems."

Hearing this analysis from Wei Ming, an experienced person, Biaozi's spirit was lifted: "Brother Ming, do we count as dating now!"

Wei Ming rolled his eyes: "You can try kissing her on the lips next time you meet."

Hearing this suggestion, Biaozi was both stimulated and afraid: "If I kiss her face, she hits my eye socket; if I kiss her lips, won't she knock out my teeth."

"In my experience, when you kiss a girl on the lips, her body softens instantly, and at that point, she completely loses her combat effectiveness." Wei Ming thought of Wei Lindi again.

Biaozi listened to this experiential advice very seriously, and Mei Wenhua listened even more seriously, wishing he could take a small notebook to write it down, only worrying about how different the body structures of foreign girls and Yanjing girls were.

After finishing talking about those things between men and women, Mei Wenhua remembered his own business.

"Brother Feng, Brother Ming, taking advantage of the few days left in the holiday, I want to make another trip to Shenzhen. Biaozi, are you still going?"

"Going, of course I'm going!"

"Then what about your capital? I have five now."

Biaozi waved his hand: "That's not an issue at all. Tomorrow I'll go ask Yanzi for it again, and incidentally, incidentally..."

He became embarrassed; of course, it was incidentally to test the operation Brother Ming taught him. Thinking of this, he couldn't sleep all night.

Wei Ming suddenly climbed out of bed and wrote a letter on the table: "Since you are still going to Shenzhen, you should get off the train in Guangzhou, right? When the time comes, please help me deliver a letter."

"Brother Ming, do you have a sweetheart in Guangzhou too?" Mei Wenhua was surprised.

"Get lost, it's for a company." Wei Ming shook the envelope; the recipient was Pacific Audiovisual Company.

The Pacific Company, which cannot be avoided in the history of mainland pop music, was established around this time last year. It was also the first mainland company to release stereo cassettes. Zhu Fengbo's cassette "Roses Blooming Everywhere" was their opening masterpiece. The sales volume is estimated to be two or three million now.

The next day, Biaozi and Mei Wenhua rode their bikes back to the city early in the morning. The two of them were very enthusiastic about making money now, thinking about leaving on tonight's train.

After they left, Liu Rulong came, inquired a bit, and then ran to the school journal to find Wei Ming.

Wei Ming was currently working on a new fairy tale creation; during the final exam period, there was no news in the school to cover.

"A-Ming, here, the illustrations for 'The Brave One', do you think this style works?"

After Wei Ming took them, he handed the sunglasses back: "Biaozi and the others are back from Shenzhen. They brought them for you, and they also said they were grateful for your cousin's help; otherwise, they wouldn't have found a way at all."

A-Long smiled awkwardly: "I called my cousin a few days ago to ask if he helped. He said don't introduce such poor people to him in the future; it made him lose face when he had to introduce them for a business of 500 yuan."

Wei Ming also laughed: "I was even afraid they would lose the 500 yuan. To them, this is an astronomical figure, but going again this time means a capital of over 1,000."

Immediately, he looked at A-Long's illustrations. Wei Ming hadn't seen the original picture book, but A-Long's level was enough to handle it. Seeing Wei Ming nod after finishing, Liu Rulong took out a slip of paper: "Here."

"What is it?"

Liu Rulong: "What you wanted, the address where our school's teacher Ma Jingwu is currently filming."

"That works!" After Wei Ming took it, he tucked it directly into his chest.

Then he also took out a few sheets of paper: "This is the character design drawing I created for the new story. This is the first chapter of the new work. Give me a few more illustrations."

A-Long: "Let me see, you have a cat and a mouse here, let me look at the novel."

After getting off work at noon, Wei Ming treated A-Long to a meal and chatted about the creative style of the new work. Once A-Long left, Wei Ming found the foreign music tapes he hadn't sold yet, wrote another letter, packed them all up, and mailed them to Zhu Lin, who was filming in a small mountain valley in Yunnan.

That day, this package left Yanjing together with Biaozi and Mei Wenhua. Wei Ming was very curious if Biaozi had been beaten by Yanzi this time; he could only wait until he returned to know.

A few days later, A-Long finished the illustrations, and at the same time, he was on holiday. He came to Wei Ming's place with his luggage, and the students of Peking University also left one after another. These past few days, Wei Ming stood at the South Gate post and bid farewell to many old friends.

For example, the inseparable Liu Zhenyun and Guo Jianmei, for example, the solitary Liang Zuo, as well as the not-so-familiar Cha Haisheng and the older sisters of the '77 and '78 classes who were already very familiar with him.

Wei Ming checked A-Long's illustrations and was very satisfied: "So you were taking final exams while drawing illustrations?"

!

Liu Rulong: "I found drawing this cat of yours quite smooth, and the speed was surprisingly fast. I even feel it has the potential to be made into an animation."

Wei Ming laughed: "Speaking of animation, I forgot to tell you last time, 'The Legend of the Heavenly Book' is preparing to be animated, and the Shanghai Animation Er Yingchang is going to make it into a movie."

"What!" Liu Rulong's voice almost pierced the roof, "You could actually forget such a big thing!"

And this is to be an animated feature film. How many animated feature films does the Shanghai Animation Er Yingchang have? This means their Egg-Born can receive the same treatment as the top mythological figures with their own traffic, the Great Sage and Nezha!

"Calm down, calm down, the script hasn't even been written yet," Wei Ming said, "Seeing you so excited, do you want me to recommend you to go there to do odd jobs?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" A-Long was ecstatic; he dreamed of entering the Shanghai Animation Er Yingchang, and he would be happy even doing odd jobs.

Wei Ming added: "Doing odd jobs shouldn't be necessary; after all, you are the designer of several Egg-Borns. If they continue to use your design, they will have to put your name on the opening credits."

Thinking of this possibility, A-Long smiled even more brightly.

"So are you planning to buy a ticket home today?" Wei Ming pointed to the luggage.

Liu Rulong asked: "When is your holiday? I was thinking we could go back together, and we could have company."

Tomorrow is the Little New Year, and Wei Ming's holiday is the day after tomorrow.

"That works, let's go together then." Wei Ming let him make do on Mei Wenhua's bed for two nights.

"I'm going to Uncle Ping'an's house. Are you coming with me, or are you going to the cafeteria to eat?"

Liu Rulong waved his hand: "I'll be fine at the cafeteria."

So Wei Ming took the original manuscript and illustrations to find Aunt Lu Xiaoyan, and incidentally had a meal.

Seeing this novel story and interesting character design, Aunt Lu Xiaoyan, who was busy with dinner, told him to tell it directly to Xizi and Lele.

Wei Ming coughed twice and made his voice sound a bit affected: "Do you know Chief Black Cat?"

Both heads shook, Wei Ming: "Now, what we are going to tell is his story. He wears a snow-white peaked cap, wears a black tight-fitting bulletproof vest, his two blue eyes are flashing, and straight whiskers are arranged proudly on both sides of his mouth..."

While talking, Wei Ming also showed them the illustrations, and the heroic image of Chief Black Cat immediately appeared.

Following Wei Ming's narration, the two little ones sitting on small stools listened very seriously. Even though it was time for dinner, they were reluctant to end it and strongly demanded that Wei Ming continue.

Wei Ming could only helplessly finish this part. Fortunately, he only wrote 6,000 words, which was only the length of one case. The hamsters made their debut. Except for one mouse whose ear was shot off by Chief Black Cat and escaped, all the other hamsters were caught.

The one that ran away was naturally Chief Black Cat's lifelong enemy, "One Ear."

All four little palms were clapped red, indicating they liked this story very much.

At this time, Wei Ping'an added: "This story isn't over yet, right? Didn't one mouse run away?"

Wei Ming: "Right, this is a unit-drama style fairy tale. One case per episode, and One Ear will appear later."

Hearing this, the two little ones were unhappy again and wanted to listen more. They wanted to see Chief Black Cat catch One Ear. They felt this story was easier to understand than the Egg-Born one.

"There's no way for this one, I haven't written it yet." Wei Ming spread his hands.

Lu Xiaoyan put her hands on her hips: "Eat first! Then Dad has important things to announce~"

(There should be more. If it updated at 0:00, remember to vote. If not, spit and then leave~)
