Chapter 716 The First Investment
In the outer hall, Lian Xin looked at the person beside her and asked curiously:
"Sister Hui, how come you also know Comrade Ye Rou?"
The woman sitting next to her was wearing a hat with a strong retro feel, an embroidered vest, and a dark blue long-sleeved shirt dress. Her outfit was particularly elegant, and she looked generous and had a good temperament. It was a pity that the woman's face was a little yellow, her cheeks were thin, and she looked a little unwell.
——It was Wen Bo’s ex-wife, Cheng Hui, who had been patiently staying by Wen Bo’s side for many years out of concern for the teacher who had been poisoned.
After Wen Bo's poisoning was exposed, the teacher ate the meatballs given by Ye Rou, vomited several mouthfuls of black blood, and miraculously regained consciousness.
The teacher knew that she had had a hard time these years and did not want to drag her down any longer. He accepted the suggestion of his good friend, Luo Jitong, the dean of the School of Western Medicine, and went to a professional sanatorium.
Cheng Hui no longer needed to take care of the teacher and had nothing to do for a while. After thinking it over again and again, she picked up her pen again and wrote down her experiences of these years into a suspense novel.
She wanted Quince to be socially dead.
After writing the book, my submissions were rejected repeatedly because the story was too dark.
She was devastated and feeling lost when the newspaper where Lianxin worked contacted her and asked her to publish her book.
Working in the same newspaper, Cheng Hui and Lianxin became familiar with each other after a few interactions.
By chance, she read the new book that Lianxin was writing and was deeply attracted by the imaginative storyline. While she was admiring it, she heard Lianxin say that the inspiration for the story came from someone else.
She asked out of curiosity and found out that it was Ye Rou who provided inspiration to Lian Xin.
Knowing that both of them knew Ye Rou, the editor of the publishing house begged Lianxin to bring Cheng Hui with her when she went to see Ye Rou again.
The editor intends to make Cheng Hui's book into a movie and hopes Ye Rou can invest.
So the two of them came together.
After hearing Cheng Hui's story of how she met Ye Rou, Lian Xin covered her mouth and trembled all over.
She read Cheng Hui's book, which was full of suspense and twists and turns, and it made people's backs chill.
I thought it was fictional, but I never expected it to be based on real events.
If Ye Rou had not come to her aid, Lian Xin would not have dared to imagine what would have happened to Cheng Hui.
She hugged her arms tightly: "You are really a beast in wolf's clothing. Sister Cheng Hui, you are so brave. If it were me, I would have committed suicide long ago."
"It's all in the past. It's better to say I'm lucky than to say I'm brave."
Cheng Hui sighed, "If Comrade Ye Rou hadn't helped me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"Persistence is victory. Look, the turning point is here."
Lian Xin comforted her, "Sister Cheng Hui, your luck is about to change."
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I'll borrow your good words."
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the door. They turned their heads and looked over. The moment they saw the person standing outside the door, they were all stunned.
The person coming in from outside should be Ye Rou...
To be honest, they were both a little unsure about this outfit.
She wore an army green felt hat (to hide her colorful hair), sunglasses (to hide her discolored pupils), a mask (to hide her diamond-like glitter), and a clearly ill-fitting windbreaker (to hide her blossoming lotus). Most importantly, she held a black umbrella (to shield her from falling petals).
Under the astonished gazes of Lian Xin and Cheng Hui, Ye Rou slowly walked into the house holding a black umbrella: "Long time no see."
"..." Lian Xin slowed down for a moment, glanced at the huge black umbrella, and asked cautiously: "Ye Rou, you, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Hui followed up by asking, "Are you sick?"
The mask blocked her face, and her voice was a little muffled. Ye Rou nodded and said, "I have a cold. I'm afraid I might infect you. Just treat it as normal. Come and sit down."
Lianxin and Cheng Hui looked at each other.
Beautiful people always have something different about them, so they had to try their best to ignore Ye Rou's abnormality.
Lianxin spoke first: "Manman had work today and couldn't come. Let me tell you my apologies. Also, I've finished writing my book. This is the first draft."
She took out the manuscript from her bag and handed it to Ye Rou.
Ye Rou held the umbrella in her left hand and took the manuscript paper with her right hand. When she turned her head, her oversized hat tilted slightly and a flash of colorful light passed by.
Lianxin blinked blankly, suspecting that there was something wrong with her eyes.
Otherwise, why did she seem to see... Ye Rou's hair seemed to be glowing?
"Ye Rou, your hair..."
Although Ye Rou quickly adjusted her hat, she was still worried that Lian Xin would see something. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she asked in a panic, "What's wrong with my hair?"
"I must have seen it wrong." Lian Xin rubbed her eyes, "I really can't stay up late anymore, my eyes are having problems."
Ye Rou took the manuscript and breathed a sigh of relief while Lian Xin turned around.
She flipped through the manuscript, glanced through it briefly, and looked up after finishing it. She met Lian Xin's nervous yet expectant gaze. Ye Rou smiled and said, "It's very well written. Really very good. It exceeded my expectations."
Lian Xin's writing style is delicate, and her grasp of the characters' emotions is extremely accurate. She portrays the heroine's frustrated psychology of being bullied after getting married very vividly. Reading the text makes people want to drag the hero's family out and beat them up.
Ye Rou made the decision and said, "I'll make this movie."
Lianxin was overjoyed and her face flushed with excitement.
Unexpectedly, the book she wrote would one day be adapted into a movie!
Cheng Hui, standing aside, looked envious. After hesitating for a moment, she took out her manuscript and volunteered, "This is the book I wrote. Um... originally... but I felt... uh..."
She was afraid that her book wasn't exciting enough and not worth investing in to be made into a movie, so she hesitated for a long time and became more and more nervous as she spoke.
Seeing that the manuscript paper she was pinching was about to be deformed, Ye Rou hurriedly said, "Sister Cheng Hui, can you let me take a look?"
"Um, yes." Cheng Hui handed over the manuscript.
Ye Rou flipped through it and read it once, then fell silent.
Cheng Hui's heart sank, and she took the initiative to say, "This is also my first time writing a suspense book, so I might not write it well. Just tell me first, I can handle it, don't make it difficult for me."
Lianxin also looked at Ye Rou nervously.
Ye Rou shook her head and said, "On the contrary, you wrote it very well, but the ending...why did the heroine forgive the hero?"
Cheng Hui smiled when Ye Rou praised her writing. When Ye Rou talked about the ending, she said hurriedly, "Actually, the ending I originally wrote was that the heroine killed the hero, but the editor thought it was too dark, so we ended up with this ending."
Ye Rou: "According to the first version of the ending, I'll pay to make it into a movie, okay?"
"Really?" Cheng Hui, who was always steady, excitedly rushed over and hugged Ye Rou when she heard what Ye Rou said.
Ye Rou was caught off guard when being hugged, her head tilted, and the oversized hat fell off!
