Saturday.
It was just dawn, and there was only a hint of paleness in the east. Qin Guanglin and He Wei had already got into the car and set off, carrying half a book in the trunk, driving on the expressway back to Los Angeles.
Every time there are new developments, he is satisfied in his heart, and he doesn't care about the things that he hasn't got the list of betrothal gifts. As He Wu said, he won't get married until next year, so why worry about it now.
Although I didn't have much money when I just bought a house, I can still get enough dowry in this year, unless the old man offers a sky-high dowry to make things difficult for him.
"How much do you think your father will ask for as a bride price?"
"how could I know."
"You do the math."
"..."
He might as well have become accustomed to his feudal superstition, automatically blocked the words related to 'calculation', half-closed his eyes and leaned on the seat to rest.
"Will it be hundreds of thousands? Eighteen-eight thousand? One hundred and sixty-six thousand? It's impossible to reach two hundred thousand."
Qin Guanglin estimated based on the approximate number of Luocheng. Although Hecheng is a small place, it is not as good as Luocheng, but sometimes the smaller the place, the harder it is to ask for it. It cannot be calculated by the size of the city, but can only be estimated by the distance of the area. .
"More than a hundred thousand?"
"In some places, the price is sky-high... But if you marry you, it's not too much."
Why not hold back a smile and look outside, said: "Hmph, sycophant."
After a pause, she suddenly regained her energy, moved her buttocks to the chair, sat up straight and said, "You men call a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan a broken car, why is the same gift of hundreds of thousands of yuan worth a sky-high price?"
Qin Guanglin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Uh...is this different?"
"What's the difference?"
"I bought the car as my own..."
"Wife is not yours after you marry her?"
"..."
"Hmph, it's the car that's clearly marked on the price. If you don't pay for it, no one will give it to you. My wife likes you. If you can save money because of this, you can save it. You're going to get married anyway, right?"
"How can you say that..."
Qin Guanglin was amused by her appearance, "I didn't say it was a sky-high price, I just said it was in some places. Of course you are not."
"Then how much am I?" He Wu asked.
"It depends on how much I have."
"real?"
"Sure, if I have 200,000, I will give 200,000, if I have a million, I will give 1 million, and if I have 5 million, I will give 5 million."
Qin Guanglin tried his best to brag, but he didn't anyway.
"Then how much do you have now?"
"It's... more than a hundred thousand." He continued to brag, but his real financial situation was less than one hundred thousand.
But wait a few months for salary.
Why not nod, said: "Then I told my dad and the others, it's only a hundred thousand, is there more?"
"Hey, wait a minute, I misremembered, in fact, there are only tens of thousands of them now."
"Oh, hundreds of thousands, I'll tell my dad hundreds of thousands."
"..."
…
Qin Guanglin stayed at the old man's house for a week. He slept with the old man a few days ago, and although he squeezed into He Wu's room for the next few days, he didn't dare to make a mistake in her house, and they hugged and slept honestly.
Before the age of thirty, he was as energetic as a calf. No matter how hard and tired he was, he would be able to come back to life in just two days. Staying in Hecheng for seven days in a row, hugging his sweet and slippery girlfriend was really tormenting.
So I spent a whole day at home on the weekend without even going out.
the next day.
The sky was blue and cloudless.
Qin Guanglin, who was in good spirits, went out to work, striding forward, like a tiger that had just had a full meal, and his whole body was full of energy.
"Hey, did you steal chickens this weekend?"
In the office, Chen Rui was in stark contrast to his appearance. He looked sick, with dark circles under his eyes as thick as eyeshadow, messy hair, and a faint stain on his neckline, which hadn't been changed for a few days. .
"I haven't been back for four days."
The sleepiness on Chen Rui's face couldn't hide his excited eyes, and he stared at Qin Guanglin slightly bloodshot, "You want... no, you're already hot."
Seeing the data soaring in the past few days, he wanted to call Qin Guanglin several times to come back, but finally held back and gave him a fright.
"oh."
Qin Guanglin had expected it a long time ago, and was not surprised by it. Moreover, it was released for free and only charged an advertising fee. Whether it is popular or not has little effect on him now, so he returned to his seat with a bang.
Hmm... When this comic became popular, it should also bring some traffic to other works under his name, so I'm a little happy thinking about it.
oh…
Chen Rui didn't expect his reaction. He watched him sit back and tidy up the table and bags in a daze. After a pause, he spoke again: "You're on fire."
This kid didn't hear clearly, did he
"Well, didn't you just say it just now?" Qin Guanglin responded, he hadn't come for a week, and the desktop was quite messy, and Chen Rui was really busy, and he didn't even bother to go back after looking for the materials at his side.
Chen Rui held his breath and almost choked.
What the hell!
Fire!
What's the situation with this calm look like it's completely none of your business? !
"How hot is it?" Qin Guanglin finally kept him from holding back, and asked after finishing the documents on the table.
Chen Rui lifted his spirits, "You will find out when you come and have a look!"
"For a while, I had an inspiration before I went to my old man's house. I have been holding back until now, so I have to draw it quickly."
What Qin Guanglin was talking about was the idea of luxury mahogany handcrafted high-end western-style custom chess that he thought of that day. It was only when I dug it out that I remembered it again. It was delayed for more than a week. Now I want to draw it immediately, otherwise I will be in a panic.
He couldn't hold back his drawing anymore, but Chen Rui felt even more uncomfortable. He was bored there for a long time, wishing to drag Qin Guanglin over to look at the current data with wide eyes.
If I knew I wouldn't hold back, I should have told him that day!
"I'll go back to rest when you come. These two companies have run away, and I'm almost dying. If you have something to do, you can deal with it."
In the end, Chen Rui gave up his plan to drag him over, scratched his hair, stood up and greeted Qin Guanglin, and left the company angrily to take a taxi downstairs.
He was afraid of accidents while driving, so he stayed up for several days. He was painting during the day, and went to the platform at night. Can't stop.
At the beginning, the platform was in a hurry to go online, and some things were not done well. I planned to expand slowly later. The plan was very good, but it couldn't resist the accidental explosion of Qin Guanglin's comics, and some malicious people saw that it was a new site. I don't know what kind of mentality he deliberately attacked. When the traffic was heavy at night, the webpage crashed several times, and he was so anxious that he almost had a heart attack.
Being the boss is tiring.
Qin Guanglin also felt the same way.
Quiet painting is his favorite. Now that Chen Rui has returned, the company's big and small affairs are piled up on his desk as the honorary director. Just after the weekend, there are more affairs on the first day of work on Monday than usual.
Under the interference of various miscellaneous matters, it took a whole day to finish the simple episode. When it was close to the end of work, I saw that there were still ten minutes left, so I quickly sent it to the assistant and asked Hu Li to scan and upload it to the platform. , as an addition.
When he came back to see that Chen Rui's computer was not turned off, he leaned over to help him turn it off, but the sleep mode was awakened, and the interface was still in the background of his comic. The curve on it made Qin Guanglin's eyes widen.
I underestimated the 'fire' in Chen Rui's mouth, no wonder he didn't go back after four days of excitement.
It really took off.
