Chapter 66 Eighteen Years Old
"Mu Mu, I want to join. Let's do it together." Sun Jingyi was in high spirits and very interested in the book club.
Wang Tong looked at the two people who were clinging to each other and whispering excitedly, and exchanged glances with Wang Jing. He said helplessly, "They are simply obsessed."
Wang Jing shook his head and took Wang Tong's hand, "Don't worry about them, they are obsessed, let's go have breakfast."
Time flies, and soon it is early November. Liu Shishi has been on the crew for three weeks.
During this period, Miss Liu was not around, and Song Ci worked day and night and devoted himself to study and work. He and the company completed several major tasks one after another.
The investment in Facebook has been finalized. After a month of haggling, the US finally agreed. Song Ci will invest in Facebook with the domain name plus 1 million US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares, but will hold Class A shares, not Class B shares with ten times the voting rights.
Song Ci was only making a simple financial investment, so he agreed to Facebook's Class A shares requirement and had entrusted Wang Jing as his full-power agent to fly to the United States to handle the investment procedures.
Tenda Technology successfully developed its own email service, TT Mailbox. Thanks to Song Ci's suggestion, TT Mailbox borrowed the gameplay of the previous drift bottle and became a hit product once it was launched, which was widely favored by young users.
At the same time, TT Mail and Toutiao complement each other and attract traffic from each other, and both have experienced explosive growth in users.
In terms of daily visits, Toutiao has successfully surpassed Sina and NetEase, and is approaching Sohu, and is on the verge of becoming the largest portal website in China.
Song Ci has decided that after Toutiao.com turns a profit next year, Tenda Technology will launch a series of major projects.
Next year, Xiaonei.com will go online and enter the social field. Penguin Company will change and innovate, develop QQ Pets and QQ Space, and become the overlord of the PC instant messaging field.
Video websites such as Tudou.com also came online one after another, and online videos began to emerge. All these indicated that 2005 would be a turbulent year for the Internet industry.
Tenda Technology must also play to its strengths, avoid its weaknesses, seize the opportunity, and increase its market share in the portal and gaming sectors.
After the evening study that day, Song Ci strolled on the quiet path of the campus while talking on the phone with Liu Shishi, expressing his heart to each other.
"Yi Yi, did you miss me?" Liu Shishi had been busy filming and hadn't contacted Song Ci for several days. She was very excited at this moment, and her words revealed a sense of longing.
Song Ci's tone was kind and gentle, and he asked with concern, "Of course I do, Shishi, is everything going well with the crew?"
Because it was inconvenient for Liu Shishi to bring her cell phone when she was filming, and Song Ci was sometimes in class, they were unable to reply to each other's messages in time during the past few weeks, and it was rare for the two to talk on the phone.
"It's okay." Liu Shishi muttered.
Song Ci could tell that Liu Shishi was a little frustrated and said, "Tell me about what difficulties you have encountered." He knew Shi Ye too well and knew that he would only report good news and not bad news.
Liu Shishi on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and said frustratedly: "I am always NG, and I drag down the progress of the entire crew."
Song Ci tried to make his tone sound relaxed and natural: "I thought it was something serious. You are a novice actor, so it's normal to do NG. Did the director and other leading actors scold you?"
Liu Shishi's voice was a little low and weak. "That's not the case, but the crew members were talking about me behind my back, saying that I was unprofessional."
Song Ci felt sorry for Miss Liu and consoled her, "Don't listen to their gossip. If you are not envied, you are a mediocre person. They are jealous of you.
Since the director didn't say anything about you, it means he recognizes your performance. All new actors go through this. As long as you work hard and make a little progress every day, that's fine."
"Oh!" Liu Shishi sighed.
Song Ci felt distressed when she heard this, so she had to change her mindset and encouraged him, "Aren't you going to become a big star and support me? Why are you so depressed over such a small problem? I'll support you, and you can just be my canary."
This trick really worked. Liu Shishi immediately hit back, "Humph, I want you to support me? Song Yiyi, just wait and see, I will definitely become a big star, the most popular one!"
"Shishi, is there anything interesting happening in the crew? Tell me about it." Song Ci deliberately changed the subject and enlightened Miss Liu.
"One thing is that my mother also starred in this play. The director said that she had a good image and temperament, so he asked her to play a cameo role."
Talking about this, Liu Shishi seemed very happy. It was indeed very interesting for mother and daughter to act in the same play.
Song Ci smiled and said, "Oh, then this "Moon Shadow and Wind Lotus" is the debut work of you and your aunt. I will definitely take a good look at it after it is released."
"You actually want to watch TV series?" Liu Shishi asked in surprise. She knew that Song Ci hardly watched TV series since he was a child. It was really strange.
Because Song Ci was reborn, he had already watched many TV dramas in his previous life, so naturally he didn’t want to watch them again.
In addition, before his rebirth, it was the era of online dramas, and he hadn't sat in front of the TV to watch programs for many years, so he didn't watch TV after his rebirth, and it became a habit over time.
"This is my Shishi's debut work, I must support it! For you, breaking the habit is natural." Song said seriously, making Liu Shishi smile.
"all!"
"Um?"
“I really missed you.”
The longing of the young man and woman was conveyed in the autumn wind. Song Ci listened to the weak breathing of Miss Liu coming from the phone and responded with deep affection: "I miss you, Shishi, too. I really miss you!"
January 1, 2005 is New Year's Day, which is Song Ci's eighteenth birthday. Song Zhang and Liu Xiaoxian made arrangements in advance and invited Song Ci's grandparents to their home so that the whole family could celebrate this important birthday with him.
Song Zhang and Liu Xiaoxian were busy in the kitchen, grandpa and grandma were watching TV in the living room, Song Ci was accompanying the two old people, and the house was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
Song Ci was sitting on the sofa opening a parcel, which contained an 18th birthday gift from Liu Shishi, a greeting card and an exquisite packaging box.
Song Ci first looked at the small and romantic pink birthday card, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.
Best wishes to you:
Happy birthday, good health and all the best.
Poetry
The letter was short but the sentiment was deep. A few simple words of blessing made up for the regret that Liu Shishi was not around to celebrate his birthday with him. Song Ci decided to keep this greeting card as a treasure.
When I opened the elegant and classic gift box, I found a fountain pen inside. This pen has a unique design and exquisite craftsmanship.
The shape is extremely beautiful, with a smooth red and black pen body, a gleaming gold hook embedded in the pen cap, and a signature, like a perfect work of art.
He recognized it as a Montblanc fountain pen, and it was a limited edition of the Writers Edition series specially made in 1992 to commemorate the American literary giant Ernest Hemingway.
