Chapter 454 New Things
"Sister, where is my brother?" Liu Yuqing and Liu Shishi walked side by side in Tsinghua University.
In private, she could not change her childhood habits and still called her "sister" affectionately.
Liu Shishi wore a mask and a woolen hat, wrapping herself tightly. "WeChat red envelopes just went online yesterday, and your brother went to the company to take care of some business. Let's meet at Rose House this afternoon."
"Okay, WeChat red envelopes are pretty new. I sent out dozens of them yesterday."
Liu Yuqing took her sister-in-law's arm, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "That's perfect, I'll take you on a good tour of Tsinghua University."
Liu Shishi nodded in agreement. Peking University was a top university she had often visited, but this was her first time at Tsinghua.
Tsinghua University is very interesting. It has the exquisiteness of classical gardens and the neatness of modern architecture. It can be regarded as a "garden within a garden" that combines Chinese and Western styles.
Sister, I will take you to see Shuimu Tsinghua University and Moonlight over the Lotus Pond first."
As the two sisters strolled along the campus path, Liu Shishi looked at the surrounding scenery and exclaimed softly, "It's truly breathtakingly beautiful.
Compared to Peking University, each has its own merits. Your brother once said that if you're talking about poetry and humanistic depth, Peking University is superior; if you prefer rationality and modern aesthetics, Tsinghua University is more suitable."
Liu Yuqing wrinkled her delicate nose and said, "He's an internet professional, why didn't he choose Tsinghua?"
"Because Song Yiyi is a romantic and literary young man at heart." Liu Shishi smiled and changed the subject, "Xiao Yuqing, don't you have a boyfriend at school?"
"No! I'm still young and don't want to fall in love so early." Liu Yuqing shook her head. Many boys in school were pursuing her, and her high school classmate Lv Zhong was also a suitor, but she had no feelings for anyone and couldn't even muster the slightest ripple of emotion.
"Nineteen is not young. Your brother and I have been together for a long time." Liu Shishi stopped and reached out to straighten her sister-in-law's scarf, her eyes falling on her pretty face that was no less than that of a female star.
With this appearance, I wonder how many boys will love her.
Liu Yuqing curled her lips and muttered, "Come on, you two are childhood sweethearts, you know each other well, and everything happened naturally. How can you compare me with you?"
"A few days ago, your brother told me that there's an exchange student program between Tsinghua University and several prestigious American universities next year. If you're interested, he can ask his friends in the US to write a letter of recommendation and send you abroad."
Liu Yuqing was stunned by Liu Shishi's words, and then a distressed look appeared on her face: "Study abroad? I don't really want to go."
With a father who is a bank president and a brother who is the richest man in Asia, she doesn't need to climb up the social ladder in terms of academic qualifications, and her life can still be smooth.
Besides, she doesn't think that the moon is rounder abroad than at home. She studies liberal arts, not science and engineering, so there is really no need to go abroad for further studies.
Seeing this, Liu Shishi said gently, "I didn't say I would force you. Ultimately, it depends on your own wishes."
The two were chatting when Liu Yuqing suddenly felt a slight vibration in the pocket of his windbreaker. He took out his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from "Minzhou Iron Man".
"Yang Liu, did you try on the bridesmaid dresses this morning?"
Liu Yuqing paused, her fingertips rapidly tapping on the screen. "No, I'll go this afternoon. I was just talking to my sister-in-law about studying abroad."
"What? You want to go abroad?" The other party's reply revealed obvious anxiety.
"I don't want to go to America anymore. I won't talk about it anymore. My sister-in-law is right here. We can talk again when we have time."
Liu Shishi caught a glimpse of the screen from the corner of her eye and asked with a smile, "A friend is looking for you?"
Liu Yuqing stuffed his phone back into his pocket. "Yeah, a pretty interesting friend. He's particularly obsessed with robots, and his Moments are all about them."
"Robots?" Liu Shishi was intrigued. Her husband, a technology enthusiast, had once imagined to her that perhaps ten years from now, artificial intelligence and robots would truly take center stage.
"Yes." Seeing his sister-in-law's interest, Liu Yuqing smiled and explained, "He is a student at Zhejiang University of Science and Technology. He usually studies robots and even created a small robot called XDog.
Even though it's a little ugly and clumsy, it looks quite interesting."
"Zhejiang University of Science and Technology? Your high school classmate?"
“No, we met through WeChat Shake.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel a little more worried. Her sister-in-law was so innocent and had such a beautiful appearance. What if she was deceived?
Seeing her sister-in-law's worried look, Liu Yuqing hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, sister, we haven't even met in person, we just chat a few times when we have time."
Liu Shishi still reminded him, "You must be cautious. Who knows who is on the other side of the screen? Don't respond to any requests he makes."
"I know, I'm very smart!"
As they were talking, they walked forward and bumped into a few girls, who were Liu Yuqing's three roommates.
Zhang Zetian held a few books in his arms, his eyes fixed on the woman next to Liu Yuqing.
Although the other person was wearing a mask and her full appearance could not be seen clearly, the delicate eyebrows and eyes exposed made her feel inexplicably familiar.
"Yuqing, who is this?"
Liu Yuqing introduced her casually: "This is my sister-in-law. She came to see me. I'll show her around the campus."
The three girls quickly greeted: "Hello, sister."
Liu Shishi said in a clear and gentle voice: "Thank you for taking care of Yuqing every day."
"You're welcome, sister." "We're all roommates, it's only natural that we help each other."
After a few brief greetings, the three girls said goodbye to Liu Yuqing and turned back to the dormitory.
Looking at their backs, Liu Shishi said softly, "Your roommate is really pretty."
"Xiaotian is quite pretty," Liu Yuqing nodded. "She was quite popular online before. Netizens called her 'Milk Tea Sister.' Let's go, sister. The moonlight over the lotus pond is just ahead."
On the other side, the three girls returned to the dormitory.
Zhang Zetian was still racking his brains, that familiar feeling lingering in his mind, but he couldn't remember where he had seen Liu Yuqing's sister-in-law.
"Jia Jia, Xiao Ying, do you think Sister Yu Qing looks very familiar?"
Liu Jiajia was stunned: "Really? But her temperament is really good."
Yu Ying thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Now that you mention it, I feel a little familiar with it."
Zhang Zetian thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up and stopped thinking about it. Perhaps the sense of familiarity was just an illusion.
"What are we going to do this afternoon?" Liu Jiajia collapsed on the bed bored.
Zhang Zetian replied: "Let's go to the library."
"You can't just study all day, right?" Liu Jiajia said displeasedly. "Xiaoying and I are single, so it's fine if we don't have boyfriends, but why are you single too, Xiaotian? You're just like us."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Zetian's face. These words touched upon her unspeakable secret. After breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, her family strictly forbade her to fall in love again and had already started looking for blind dates for her.
One is the eldest son of Suning Group, and the other is the son of the deputy mayor and a director of Tengda Group. Her father regards her as a rare treasure, and these two are his targets.
Meanwhile, Song Ci finished his company duties in the morning and rushed to the Rose Studio at 2 p.m. He told his bodyguard to wait outside and walked straight in.
When I came to the inner room of the studio, I saw the four groomsmen, Lin Hao, Hu Ge, Wang Sicong and Tang Jun, chatting enthusiastically, while the four bridesmaids, Zhao Liying, Jiang Yuanyuan, He Chaolian and my little cousin, were trying on dresses.
"Mr. Song!" "Brother!" "Mr. Song."
When everyone saw the richest man coming, they all stood up to greet him, their voices rising one after another.
Song Ci nodded in response and said politely, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come all this way."
Liu Shishi smiled and walked forward: "Husband, what do you think of this bridesmaid dress?"
Liu Yuqing gently lifted the hem of her skirt, swayed gracefully, and turned around: "Brother, does this skirt look good on me?"
Song Ci waved his hand and replied with a smile: "It looks good, as long as you like it."
Liu Shishi pulled her husband's arm and said, "Hurry up and try on the suit."
Although their wedding was in classical Chinese style, they also had several suits custom-made for casual wear, and Song Ci came to try them on today.
After he entered the dressing room, the four bridesmaids discussed for a while and chose a pink dress as the bridesmaid's dress.
This dress was mainly liked by Liu Yuqing. Others knew that she was the sister of the richest man, so they all followed her wishes.
The studio then took measurements of the four bridesmaids to see if the dresses needed to be altered.
After the girls finished their work, it was the turn of the four groomsmen to try on their suits.
Song Ci had already chosen his casual clothes and emerged from the inner room. Liu Shishi was still choosing a skirt, and since it looked like she wouldn't be done any time soon, he sat down beside his sister to rest.
"Yuqing, how are your studies lately?"
"Chao Lian, I heard from Shishi the other day that you and Si Cong started a live broadcast company together?"
"Liying, long time no see, have you been filming recently?"
"Yuanyuan, Shishi praised you for being able to handle things on your own easily. You've made great progress."
WeChat red envelopes were successfully launched, and Tengda Group entered the Fortune Global 500. All these happy events made Song Ci in a particularly good mood today. He was no longer as aloof as before and talked a few more words than usual.
Liu Yuqing was busy chatting on WeChat, so she didn't say much to Song Ci. While others were usually respectful to the richest man, she didn't care at all and was completely at ease.
Although He Chaolian was familiar with Liu Shishi, she had only met Song Ci once before. She was inevitably restrained at the moment and could not find a topic to talk about.
However, Zhao Liying and Jiang Yuanyuan were more familiar with the richest man and chatted with him.
"I was filming 'Under the Gate of Zhengyang' a while ago, and after the new year I will join the crew of 'Later We Will Meet Again' directed by Han Han." Zhao Liying replied.
Song Ci chuckled, "Han Han and Guo Jingming are still at loggerheads, even competing with each other over their transition to directing. By the way, I saw your WeChat Moments a few days ago, and the commercial you shot for Chow Tai Fook was pretty good. It's a great endorsement."
Zhao Liying quickly said modestly: "It's all thanks to the company."
"You are an artist of Tengda Culture. It is reasonable for the company to strive for resources for you." Song Ci said, glancing at his little cousin beside him.
This girl is usually lively and talkative, but today she didn't say a word. She seemed to be chatting on WeChat with her head down. I guessed she had something private to tell her, so I didn't ask any more questions.
Turning his gaze back to Zhao Liying, he continued, "A few days ago, Liu Rong reported to me that the company was going to cooperate with Paramount on Transformers 4.
There are quite a few supporting roles in this movie. Although your screen time is limited, it's still nice to be able to show up in this top Hollywood production. Let Liu Rong arrange a role for you when the time comes."
He remembered that there was a very important supporting role in "Transformers 4", but Zhao Liying's temperament and image did not seem to be able to support it. He thought that the director might not be interested in it, so he did not think about it any further.
"Thank you, Mr. Song! I will definitely perform well." Zhao Liying heard this and tried hard to suppress her inner ecstasy, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
He and his agent were racking their brains to get a role in "Transformers 4", but they didn't expect the richest man to take the initiative to speak to them. It was really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but it turned out to be something he had found without any effort.
At that moment, Zhao Liying felt like she was floating in the clouds. This was Transformers 4! A top IP that was attracting worldwide attention!
Even if it was just a supporting role with few scenes, it was still a top-tier resource that the entire entertainment industry envied. He had never expected that such a great opportunity would fall upon him so easily.
Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at Zhao Liying in surprise. She didn't expect that the big boss would appreciate this little round-faced girl so much and even promised her a role in "Transformers 4".
However, she has been with the eldest sister all year round and has had a lot of contact with Song Ci. She can clearly feel that the richest man is in a really good mood today. He talks a lot more than usual, and his whole body is full of joy. Could it be because the wedding is approaching?
Song Ci encouraged Jiang Yuanyuan a few more words, asking her to work hard in his wife's studio. His eyes inadvertently fell back on his sister beside him.
Liu Yuqing still kept his head down, his fingertips moving rapidly on the screen of his mobile phone, and from time to time a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he didn't even notice.
He was completely immersed in the conversation with the "Minnesota Iron Man" and turned a deaf ear to his brother's conversation with others.
Song Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the teacup, and while sipping the tea, he glanced at Liu Yuqing's lit mobile phone screen, and the name "Minzhou Iron Man" came into view.
"Yuqing?" The richest man's voice was not loud, but it had an invisible penetrating power.
"Ah? Brother, what's the matter?" Liu Yuqing woke up as if from a dream and looked up suddenly.
"Nothing." Song Ci looked at his sister's slightly guilty look and wondered in his heart - his younger sister's condition was really strange.
"Since you're so focused on the conversation, I'd like to ask you what you want to eat tonight so that we can prepare it at home."
"Oh, it's all fine. I like whatever my sister-in-law likes to eat." Liu Yuqing said perfunctorily.
Song Ci didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at his sister deeply.
Liu Yuqing didn't notice her brother's expression and lowered her head to chat on WeChat again: "I haven't even started studying abroad yet, so why are you so anxious?"
The other party replied immediately: "I heard that the United States does not ban guns, so I am worried about your safety!"
"Thank you. University isn't as chaotic as society. Actually, I'm not really interested in going to the United States."
"You don't want to study abroad? That's great." There was obvious joy in the reply of "Minnesota Iron Man".
"Is it me or you who's studying abroad? You're more excited than me."
"willow."
Liu Yuqing waited for a long time but saw nothing further, so he asked, "?"
About half a minute later, a reply appeared on the screen: "After careful consideration, I have decided to start a business: to establish a robot manufacturing company."
Liu Yuqing was stunned. A few days ago, he had been saying that he wanted to come to Peking to take the postgraduate entrance exam. How could he suddenly change his mind? This change of heart was too fast.
“I plan to start a business while pursuing graduate studies.”
"Then it will probably be very hard for you."
"I have my own goals that I must strive for! I must make a career out of it!"
