Huang Xi shook his head and said, "No, thank you."
Meng Yu said, "Are you thinking about something else?"
"I don't know. My idea was actually very simple: to use my connections with journalists to seek justice. But now it seems like it's been achieved very easily, so I'm not really interested anymore."
Meng Yu lifted her legs. In early summer, she didn't need to wear so many clothes anymore; a simple floral dress was enough.
Wearing those little leather shoes that are unique to young girls will make them look quite pretty.
In this era, hair dyeing wasn't as common. Long black hair was enough to make a girl look radiant, and she didn't even need to worry about cosmetics or disguises.
"I don't know what you're thinking. My idea is simple: take down Xu Lei, tie him up, and send him to my house, hahaha."
Huang Xi said, "You're really bold. Do you know what my aunt said?"
"Say what?"
“I asked my aunt why Xu Lei likes women older than himself. My aunt said it’s easy to understand. At his level, if he needs a woman, he only needs to nod his head. Why does he need to go through all that trouble to find one?”
"and then?"
"I asked again, 'Don't you need to learn more about her? For example, you should know what she likes to eat, how to pamper her, etc.' My aunt said, 'Those are stories in books. In reality, where is there time to learn about you? It's enough if he likes you. If you like someone, you don't need to let him know. He will do his best to show you everything.'"
"So, Xu Lei has never paid any attention to us."
Huang Xi was stunned and said, "Ah, it has something to do with this?"
Meng Yu put down the box in her hand, looked at the penguin label, and said, "Why bother with us? We're just small-time reporters. It's a favor if we pay attention, but it's normal if we don't. We have to earn a lot of money every day; coming with us might waste a lot of our time."
"You seem to have a very open mind. If I were you and liked Xu Lei, I wouldn't be able to. I would have to stick to him. Even when I'm cooking at home, I would be clinging to him."
"Where can you find men who cook?"
Huang Xi said, "I don't know how. If I did, wouldn't I be cooking?"
Here, a woman, perched high in the trees, approached the two.
Meng Yu knew this woman, Song Qian, who was hailed as a fashion queen.
What a tall woman!
"Are you looking for Xu Lei?"
The two nodded subconsciously.
Song Qian smiled unconsciously, wiped her mouth, and said, "Okay, I'll be down in a bit."
Huang Xi said, "You're Song Qian... um, those clothes of yours..."
"Hey, do you want it? I can give you a discount."
"No, no, it's too expensive, I can't afford it. Are you looking for Xu Lei?"
"Talking about work was one part, and the other part was asking Xu Lei to make me some clothes and inquiring about what styles of clothing would be available next quarter."
This guy can make clothes?
"Is this really a design by Xu Lei?"
"That's not it."
Meng Yu sniffed and said, "You smell like Xu Lei. You didn't just come here to have clothes made by Xu Lei."
Song Qian said, "I need to come here regularly to learn from their experience. Otherwise, Xu Lei will forget about me, and I can't bear to part with such a precious thing."
Xu Lei stood at a distance and said, "If all you do is imitate Chengcheng, I think I could beat you to death."
.............................
Meng Yu took out a document from the package and said, "Take a look at the editorial office's profits over this period."
Xu Lei took it and began to read it carefully.
"Hmm, not bad, but these places seem to be unnecessary to spend money on, it's a waste. Your accounting is a bit too detailed."
"Uh, this was my mistake, a bad decision. I didn't do it well and wasted more than a million."
Xu Lei said, "Publishing some literature is fine, but you've gone down the wrong path. This isn't something we should be doing right now."
"what?"
Xu Lei said, "You want to copy some works from the internet for promotion, but you've overlooked the fact that you can charge money for that, such as channel fees. These are all promotional channels. If you copy directly, you're just giving others free advertising and you might even get sued."
"really."
"Yes, this thing is called online literature. You have a good sense of smell. E-reading will become the mainstream in the future. I'll give you another 30 million as start-up capital, and then we'll create a website called Feilu."
"How much is the salary?"
"No salary is required; you can write a book with just your ID card. But remember, the editor you find must be in line with the times, and the book shouldn't be too refined. The book must be exciting."
"What you said sounds like what some of the people who came to my company to solicit investment said before."
“Those are the ones who are useful. If we catch them, and if I’m not mistaken, your editors probably look down on these peasants.”
"You know about this too?"
Xu Lei pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "In the future, traditional literature and online literature will be in a standoff. You just need to control both sides. These two groups of people should be managed separately. Anyone who is dissatisfied can be fired. There is no need to be indecisive. My core is to make money. As for those who want to realize their dreams, let them get lost."
Meng Yu nodded.
Xu Lei waved for Yu Jingjing to come over and transfer money to Meng Yu.
Huang Xi, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a long time before saying, "You just glanced at this and you're already planning to invest in it?"
"Yes, it can make money, so why not invest? I can also give you some data in advance: the future online readership will reach 400 million."
"In the future, online reading will be distributed through mobile operators. Reading software that is directly integrated into Xiaolong phones will become an indispensable part of the reading experience, and the era of reading for all can arrive."
Oh my god, that's scary.
"So, when you write, you don't care about anything else?"
"Yes, I'll implement a system for editorial review. Otherwise, some people will write whatever they want. A writer's pen is terrifying; it can kill people, and it can also kill itself."
Meng Yu said, "There's something else I want to talk to you about."
Xu Lei asked, "What is it?"
"I want to ask you out."
Huang Xi was stunned and said, "Huh?"
Xu Lei glanced at his watch, asked Yu Jingjing to hand him the documents, and said, "Cancel all these meetings and have Zhang Baobao come over."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Xu Lei said, "Alright, if it's a date, where do you want to take me? You tell me."
"I want you to make me a dress."

At the specialized tailor shop, Xu Lei pushed open the door and walked in. An old tailor saw Xu Lei's arrival and said, "Mr. Xu, you've arrived?"
"Yes, sir. I'm not buying clothes today. I'd like to use your shop to make some clothes myself."
"Okay, we have everything here. Take your pick, I won't bother you anymore."
Xu Lei nodded.
Huang Xi said, "These - suit materials..."
Xu Lei said, "Personalized customization is a high-end approach. The old man is an experienced tailor and is very skilled at making clothes. However, he can't keep up with the times. I gave him an idea to go into personalized customization, which is to say, the high-end approach."
"Honestly, it would be too easy for our country's tailors to make suits for foreign countries; it would be a piece of cake."
After finding the fabric, Xu Lei thought for a moment and said, "I'll have a cheongsam custom-made for you."
Meng Yu nodded.
Holding a measuring tape, he stood in front of Meng Yu and measured her body.
Meng Yu looked shy and spoke somewhat awkwardly.
Zhang Baobao, who was eating bubble tea next to him, said, "I could hear your scheme from hundreds of miles away. You can't beat me, so you're actually thinking of asking the boss for help. You're really something."
Meng Yu said, "How would I know you're the boss's man?"
"If I'm not one of the boss's people, why would I post a message on Tencent News that contradicts yours?"
Zhang Baobao used her phone to reply to several messages.
"Boss, Qi Tongwei is spending money, so he wants me to release some more news."
"It would be better if the price went up."
"Um, a price increase? Are you sure?"
Xu Lei's rice ruler slid along Meng Yu's body, moving little by little.
"Yes, prices are going up. There are too many people who need you now. In the media age and the internet age, Qi Tongwei was a pioneer and saw the benefits. Others will also try to establish their own reputation. People are actually very simple. The older they get, the more they care about other people's opinions."
"Okay, then let's raise the price. How much do you think would be a suitable increase?"
"Double would be fine."
Zhang Baobao was stunned and said, "Boss, are you this dark-skinned?"
"Is it a scam? If you're really doing good, Meng Yu can promote it for you for free. Only fake people will come to you. Good people don't need to spend this money, but bad people will have to spend more."
"receive."
Meng Yu blushed and remained silent.
Xu Lei asked, "You have a fever?"
"You're too close, I can't breathe."
Xu Lei said, "Am I that charming? I didn't even know."
"You, Xu Lei, you're teasing me again. I'm going to tell my dad."
Ha ha ha ha.,
Xu Lei put down the measuring tape and said, "Not bad, you've been developing very well lately. It seems you've been secretly working out. However, my personal advice is that when you're working out, don't just focus on your legs. That will make your legs thicker."
"I don't show this to others, but I'll show it to you."
"That's fine then. Having some muscle on your legs makes them more beautiful. Being bare like a wooden stick is not attractive."
Huang Xi felt that Xu Lei was hinting at something, no, this guy was making it explicit.
Holding scissors and a sewing machine, Xu Lei began making the product with great seriousness.
Meng Yu took out a video camera and started filming Xu Lei.
"They're filming this too?"
"Yes, big boss, being able to make clothes is a big plus. If Tencent News doesn't promote you, who will?"
Xu Lei ignored him.
It didn't take long for Xu Lei to finish making a purple cheongsam.
"Put it on."
Meng Yu took the clothes to the fitting room.
Xu Lei rubbed his temples and said, "Zhang Baobao, have any interesting people been looking for you lately?"
"Yes, there are some people. Zheng Xipo's son hasn't bothered me anymore. However, I've met some people who give me money, write articles for me to revise, and promote. You would never guess who they are."
"Gao Yuliang?"
"Yes, it's Gao Yuliang. I don't understand, didn't Gao Yuliang plan to disappear after his self-investigation?"
"No, Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang are enemies. If Li Dakang gains importance, Gao Yuliang will fight desperately for him."
"Oh, by the way, I have a few documents here that record things from the past. Take a look."
Xu Lei took the phone, scanned it, and said, "Zhao Lichun is in trouble?"
