Chapter 108 Adding fuel to the fire by visiting Momo's parents

No, how did you know his name was Er Gou? I don't think I ever said that.

But at this moment, Bubble had no energy to pursue this issue.

Li Fangfang could see that Bubble was not mentally sound.

When she came back from the last date in Hangzhou, she was glowing and happy.

But this time when he came back, he seemed to have withered.

Li Fangfang was extremely anxious. What on earth had happened? Xiao Momo had already thought of the answer countless times on the way. She must not say that Ergou was Lin Xiao, my student. If she did, the relationship between the two would probably be completely over.

"He is too young." Xiao Momo said with tears in her eyes.

Li Fangfang asked: "How old are you?"

Xiao Momo said: "Nineteen."

"Ah..." Li Fangfang was also stunned.

This, this is really too small.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Mo Mo, are you back from Shanghai?" It was Zhou Cheng. Apparently he had been waiting for quite a long time.

Suddenly, Momo became alert. What are you doing here? Then, she walked directly in front of Zhou Cheng and said, "Let's go talk somewhere else."

Suddenly, Zhou Cheng was overjoyed.

Sure enough, after Momo was hurt, her attitude towards me changed.

Then, the two of them went to a remote place. Zhou Cheng held a bunch of roses in his hand and handed them over, saying, "Mo Mo, give me another chance to prove myself, okay?"

Xiao Momo stared at Zhou Cheng with her haggard eyes. She had hardly slept from yesterday till now.

"Zhou Cheng, I'm exhausted now and don't have the energy to speak." Xiao Momo said, "But there is one thing, please promise me."

Zhou Cheng said: "You said, ten or a hundred pieces is no problem."

Xiao Momo said: "Don't tell my parents that Ergou is Lin Xiao, otherwise... otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Suddenly, Zhou Cheng stood there in a daze.

After saying that, Xiao Momo turned around and left. Under the uneasy gazes of her parents, she went straight back to her room, curled up in bed and went to sleep.

I didn't cry when I was awake, but when I fell asleep, tears welled up in my eyes.

………………

Everyone in the company looked at Qu Feifei with envy.

Although he was very popular originally, people didn't envy him because he was too controversial and was criticized too harshly.

I even have a feeling that there is no turning back. Am I going to live under the criticism of others for the rest of my life?

However, what was unexpected was that she actually made a stunning turn last night.

Although there are still many people who criticize her, there are more and more true fans of her.

In every previous live broadcast, although Qu Feifei was extremely aggressive, very good at arguing with others, and very excited, she was actually very tired every day. After each live broadcast, she almost collapsed on the bed, unable to move.

And she wasn't really completely indifferent to the attacks from countless people.

Yu Hua said something very well: take out your heart and mend it before going to bed every night. When you wake up, you will be full of confidence again.

So Qu Feifei switches back and forth between collapse and self-healing every day.

And now she finally doesn't have to do this anymore.

After the Youth Song Contest yesterday, he felt the overwhelming support. In fact, there were still a lot of criticisms, but she automatically filtered them out and only focused on the voices of support and praise.

There were really so many that the voices of praise almost drowned her out, but even so she seemed unsatisfied and kept looking and looking.

During today's live broadcast, she was even in a daze and chatting at times, but her popularity was still very high, and she even received more tips than before.

And, for the first time, she truly felt happy.

Before, her heart and spirit were supported by a breath of air, but now it was as if there was a real pillar inside.

During the live broadcast, she kept looking outside and listening to the noise outside.

Every time the door opened, she would stick her head out to see if Lin Xiao had returned.

After being disappointed several times, Lin Xiao finally showed up at the company and the boss was back.

Qu Feifei rushed down with her long legs swinging, rushing over from a long distance away.

"Don't come over here..." Lin Xiao shouted wildly while opening his arms.

Sure enough, the next second, Qu Feifei pounced over and sat on Lin Xiao's waist.

"Bang!" With her tall stature and fast speed, she immediately pressed Lin Xiao to the ground.

"Alright, that's enough, that's enough..."

Lin Xiao struggled to get up, enduring Qu Feifei's fiery red lips.

……………………

After Lin Xiao returned to the company, the first thing he did was take a shower and then change into relatively decent clothes.

Blue shirt, grey trousers.

Xia Xi walked in and was immediately surprised: "What are you doing? Dressed like this, are you planning to go on a blind date?"

"But to tell you the truth, only people in their 40s or 50s would like you like this."

"Young girls don't like this kind of dressing."

Lin Xiao said: "It is meant for people in their forties or fifties."

Xia Xi walked forward, closed the door and said, "There is something. Sohu has once again invited us to purchase."

Is it finally here? Lin Xiao had clearly refused twice before, but this time he could only say that he was reluctant to refuse but also willing to accept.

"Do you want to talk?" Xia Xi asked, "Should we go to Hangzhou to talk like last time?"

Lin Xiao fell silent.

If you don’t want to sell it, you can negotiate.

But when it comes to selling, we can’t talk about it.

It didn’t matter the last time we went to talk about it because no one cared about Lightning Technology.

But this time it’s different. Yangyang’s live broadcast room is thriving and really popular.

If we really talk to Sohu, it will definitely get out.

What will be the result? First, it will affect the company's morale.

Everyone is very excited and wants to push the Yangyang live broadcast room to another level.

Lin Xiao knew that there would be a ceiling for the Yangyang live broadcast room, and it would be reached soon, but others didn’t know it, and he couldn’t let others know it.

The goal is to make everyone feel that this is a brand new story, a big story.

Let everyone know that the Yangyang Live Broadcast Room has a lot of room for development, so that it can be sold at a high price.

If there is a rumor that it is negotiating with others to acquire it, what will everyone think? This is different from Chinaren, which has a huge number of registered users and huge traffic, but the founder can no longer afford the bandwidth and server costs.

His traffic really exploded. When he was acquired, he had nearly 10 million registered users and tens of millions of traffic every day.

What about the current Yanyan Live Studio? It advertises that its financial situation is very good, with revenue and net profit rising steadily.

With such a good development prospect and no shortage of money, why would they sell it? Is there something fishy going on? Has the company reached its peak and they want to cash out at a high price? Lin Xiao asked, "According to your current estimate, how much money might Sohu offer?"

Xia Xi thought for a while and said, "About 30 or 40 million."

Lin Xiao was shocked. How could this price be possible? It was quite far from the price he had in mind.

“What is our company’s current revenue, costs, net profit, and cash flow?”

Although Lin Xiao basically pays attention to these data regularly, they are now changing very quickly.

Xia Xi directly opened the computer and showed it to Lin Xiao.

The company's revenue is really high, reaching 5.26 million in June.

But the net profit was only 1.36 million, and of course the settlement with China Mobile has not yet been made.

The expenditure costs are too high.

The first is the server and bandwidth costs, and the next is the share given to the anchors.

There is also the renovation cost of nearly fifty live broadcast rooms, which needs to be spread over several months.

"If we talk about daily revenue, we started to see a decline seven days ago, and it was only yesterday and today that it suddenly started to increase," said Xia Xi.

"Because users are somewhat tired of borderline live broadcasts, many people have accounts but no longer use them."

"There are still too few big brothers, and it's not enough to get the benefits. Even if it's just to maintain their vanity, they reluctantly go to the live broadcast room to give large rewards. But some big brothers have stopped coming."

Or the pool is too small.

Without strong enough content support, it is impossible to retain users for a long time.

The real trend of live streaming on computers came with the large-scale live streaming of games.

But now live streaming of games is absolutely impossible.

Lin Xiao said: "We can't discuss it now, and we have to expand further."

"We still have 2.39 million on our company's books."

"Take out some money to sponsor "Rose Date" and send three anchors to participate in this program."

Xia Xi asked, "Still spending money? Pushing hard?"

Lin Xiao said: "Yes, we will increase the intensity, tap into another wave of popularity, create another boom, and create a situation where the fire is boiling."

Xia Xi said: "When we sell it, we will always need a reason."

"Yes." Lin Xiao said, "There must be a reason, a very sufficient reason."

"Not only do we want to cash out at a high price, but we also have to play the role of a tragic hero."

"There is a trend now to investigate our Itchy Live Studio, did you know that?"

Xia Xi said: "I heard about it."

Lin Xiao said: "If we make good use of this opportunity, we will not only be able to expand, but also achieve our goal of being a tragic hero."

Xia Xi nodded and said, "I understand."

"We want to make those giants feel that the problems encountered by Yanyan Live are no problem for them. We are definitely not selling it because of poor development, but because of other irresistible pressures."

"Then we need to master the timing very well."

Lin Xiao said: "It's better not to sell it to Sohu, it's better to sell it to TOM."

Xia Xi said: "Because we still have a relationship with Sohu, TOM is just an outsider, so we can just cheat him, right?"

Lin Xiao said: "It would be a waste if I don't cheat Li Huanggua's money."

Xia Xi let out a long breath, opened the door and looked down. Everyone was working busily.

"After selling Yangyang.com and Yangyang Live Studio, what are you going to do with the money?" Xia Xi asked, "Or, what are we going to do?"

Lin Xiao said: "I haven't made a complete decision yet."

"But at least enjoy life for a while."

“It’s been almost a year since we started our business, and the pace has been really intense.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xia Xi said: "You promised me that you would make something high-end."

Lin Xiao said: "Yes, it must be high-end."

Xia Xi: "How was the meeting with Bubble?"

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "It's just as I imagined, but also better than I imagined."

Next, he briefly talked about his meeting with Bubble.

Then, Lin Xiao said in front of the mirror: "Do you think I should wear a tie?"

Xia Xi asked: "What on earth are you going to do?"

Lin Xiao said: "Go to Xiao Momo's home and visit her parents."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Xi couldn't believe it and said, "You, are you crazy?"

"According to Paopao's personality, she will definitely not tell her parents that you are Lin Xiao. If her parents knew that you are Lin Xiao and Paopao's student, then your relationship would be over. This is a small county town, and the circle is very small."

Lin Xiao said: "I know there is a little risk, but I can handle it."

"And I have to go, and deep down, Bubbles is eager for me to go."

"This is the result of our meeting, and it was because of my concealment and even deception. As a result, I completely let her do whatever she wanted and left her alone at home. Is this still Er Gou?"

Xia Xi thought for a while and nodded: "That makes sense."

"But don't wear the tie. It makes you look silly. This will be fine."

"Please bring two bottles of Moutai with you."

……………………

Bubble was still sleeping. She had already slept for almost six or seven hours. Before she knew it, her tears had soaked the pillow.

Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang were feeling uneasy at home, but they couldn't wake up Bubble to ask him clearly.

What on earth happened?

Li Fangfang even felt a little resentful towards Ergou in her heart: As a boy, are you going to let Bubble go home sadly alone?

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Li Fangfang asked.

"Auntie, I'm Ergou."

Suddenly, Li Fangfang and Xiao Wanli sat up abruptly.

"Should we go wake Bubble up?" Xiao Wanli asked tremblingly, not knowing why he was so nervous.

Li Fangfang said, "No, let her sleep. It's a good opportunity for the two of us to see the quality of this Ergou alone."

Xiao Wanli quickly went to the mirror and tidied his appearance.

Li Fangfang also picked up the comb and combed her hair, then took a deep breath and walked forward to open the door.

It was almost dark at this point, with only street lights on.

After opening the door, I immediately saw a tall young man.

Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang had really prepared themselves mentally and were ready to face Ergou, who might not look very good.

result……

Overjoyed.

This... this child is very good looking.

And he's not bad looking, either.

She is even very beautiful, and she is a perfect match for our baby Bubble.

But, she is indeed too young, several years younger than Bubble.

Although he tried hard to dress conservatively and appear a few years older than his actual age, you could still tell that he was really young.

The couple stared at Lin Xiao for a long time and forgot to open the door to let him in.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly."

"You're here, but why are you bringing anything with you? And such expensive wine? Take it back, take it back, and let your father drink it."

Lin Xiao walked in shyly and changed into slippers.

"Kid, what's your name?" Li Fangfang asked, bringing Lin Xiao a cup of tea.

Lin Xiao quickly stood up and took it with both hands.

"Auntie, my name is Lin Chengze."

He wasn't lying. This was really his other name, and this was the name in the family tree.

Because the middle character of each generation in the family tree must be the same, for example, the character "Huai" in the name of Lin Xiao's father, Lin Huaili.

It's a ranking word.

"Only nineteen years old?" Li Fangfang asked.

Lin Xiao nodded embarrassedly: "Yes."

This is really too small.

Xiao Wanli asked, "Did you go to college? Which college?"

Lin Xiao said: "Fudan."

Although it hasn’t been launched yet, it’s a done deal, so it’s not a lie.

Oh, the university is good, very good.

Li Fangfang said, "Xiao Lin, tell me, what happened when you met? Paopao was so depressed, and it's definitely not just because you are too young. I know Paopao very well."

Lin Xiao said: "Auntie, this is my fault. I am too naive and too chauvinistic."

Li Fangfang said: "What's going on? Please tell me quickly. I'm so anxious."

Lin Xiao said: "Paopao and I agreed to meet on July 10. That's because I felt I had to give her a home, so I worked hard to make money and buy a house in Shanghai."

"After I bought the house, I added Bubble's name directly, and then I met her."

"Because I was young, it was hard for her to feel safe, so I had been hiding my age from her. Of course, I didn't lie, I just didn't tell her I was only 19 years old. In fact, when I started dating her last year, I was only 18 years old."

"I worked hard to earn money and finally bought a house. I plan to give Bubble a big surprise."

"But when we met inside the house, she got scared when she saw how young I was, and backed off."

"I thought at the time that I had spent so much effort to buy a house, why weren't you surprised, but instead backed off."

"I was too young, so my tone was not good. I said walking out of this door was a breakup."

"Paopao doesn't care about the house at all. She may not even want to settle down in Shanghai. She doesn't want to leave you guys."

"Buying a house to give him a sense of security is just wishful thinking on my part. She is not a materialistic girl at all."

"But I really want to give her a sense of security and a home."

Suddenly, all the attention of Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang was attracted by this house.

Buy a house?!

You, you are only nineteen years old?

You bought a house in Shanghai.

Xiao Wanli couldn't help but ask: "You, you are so young, where did you get the money to buy a house?"

Lin Xiao said: "I started a company with someone else, and also wrote a book. It sold very well and I earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties."

Then, Lin Xiao took out the book from his bag, handed it to Xiao Wanli with both hands and said, "Uncle, please correct me."

After Xiao Wanli took it, he couldn't help but flip through a few pages.

It seems to be well written.

Can a book earn hundreds of thousands of dollars? Can it earn the same as a house?

If time had allowed, he would have really wanted to finish reading the book immediately.

Lin Xiao said: "Uncle and aunt, please tell me my apologies to Paopao. I shouldn't have used the house to kidnap her, and I shouldn't have forced her to settle in Shanghai and leave you."

Li Fangfang said, "Don't worry, I...I'll go wake up Bubble for you?"

Lin Xiao said: "No, she hasn't slept since we met. Let her have a good sleep and don't wake her up."

As soon as these words came out, Li Fangfang and Xiao Wanli looked at each other.

Exchange a message.

This child is so nice.
