Chapter 518 Hidden Conditions (5100, 1000 added)
Rosewood Hotel Xinhao, fourth floor, Dragon Court, Tang Private Room.
"I didn't expect you would actually agree to the official announcement."
"At first, I thought you arranged this. Sorry."
Liu Shaoqian sat on a single sofa next to the small coffee table next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the private room, looking at Da Mimi opposite him with complicated eyes. This was the first time the two had sat down face to face to chat in nearly a year.
Da Mimi looked calm and said, "You're not the only one who looks at me like that. There's nothing to be sorry about. I'm used to it."
Hearing what Da Mimi said, Liu Shaoqian looked a little embarrassed, but also a little surprised at Da Mimi's calmness.
"I have shouldered all the responsibilities I should shoulder, and I hope you can keep your promise and communicate with your family as soon as possible."
Liu Shaoqian hesitated: "Mimi, this matter..."
"There's nothing to discuss about this matter." Da Mimi interrupted Liu Shaoqian, "This is already part of our agreement!"
Da Mimi's tone softened a bit. "Of course, you are my daughter's father after all. I don't want her to grow up without a father. You've been working in the mainland for a long time, so you can visit her anytime."
"Don't worry, my parents won't be like yours, boasting in front of the media but guarding against you like a thief behind the scenes."
When she said the last sentence, there was a hint of sarcasm in Da Mimi's tone.
Even someone as strong as Da Mimi can't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Da Mimi got married while pregnant, but she regretted it as soon as she got off her honeymoon.
A few days after getting married, Da Mimi was given a cold shoulder by her mother-in-law. When she laid the tablecloth at her husband's house, her mother-in-law mocked her for being a northern girl who didn't know the rules.
It can be said that from that time on, Da Mimi knew that she would definitely have to leave, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
Liu Shaoqian looked a little embarrassed. "That's not what I meant. I'm mainly considering that your workload will be very intense in the next one or two years..."
Da Mimi put down the teacup in her hand, swung her pigtail to her chest, smoothed her bangs, and said calmly: "If I'm busy with work, the grandparents will help take care of the child. I've already found an aunt."
Liu Shaoqian discovered that Da Mimi's hairline was actually much thicker than the last time it was his daughter's birthday, and her skin was even smoother and softer, as if there was a layer of jade underneath her skin.
Could this woman have had a hair transplant? Otherwise, how could her hair grow so well, like a field of crops that has been regularly fertilized?
Who applied the fertilizer?
Liu Shaoqian was a little puzzled.
"Also, I plan to reduce some of my work and work more behind the scenes in the future."
Working behind the scenes?
Reduce work?
Liu Shaoqian never thought that such words would come out of Da Mimi's mouth.
Ever since the day he met Da Mimi, this woman has been with him almost all year round.
If the two of them were not filming the same movie, he would visit the other person's set much more often than the other person would visit his.
Both he and his parents were quite dissatisfied with this, thinking that Da Mimi did not care about marriage and family at all and was only concerned about making money.
Moreover, the two have signed a prenuptial agreement and are financially independent. Every penny earned by each party is their own and has basically nothing to do with each other.
Reducing work means a decrease in income. Are you willing to do that?
Haven’t you always said that the window of opportunity for female celebrities to make money is only a few years, and if you miss it, it’s gone?
Liu Shaoqian stared at Da Mimi in a daze, as if he was meeting this woman for the first time.
Da Mimi stood up and picked up the mini Diorama bag on the back of the chair. "If it's convenient, you can book a flight for tomorrow and spend a few more days with your daughter. And convince your parents as soon as possible. I'll go to Xingang on Friday and bring my daughter back to Xingao with me."
"Mr. Liu, I have other plans." Da Mimi said calmly and firmly, "That's all for today. Goodbye."
After walking a few steps, Da Mimi stopped and turned back to say, "Oh, by the way, we have a daughter together after all. I won't say bad things about you in front of her. From now on, you can bring her to Xingang for winter and summer vacations every year."
"I still suggest you develop in the mainland, that way she can see her father more often, and there will definitely be more opportunities here."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether it's right or not...it's up to you to decide."
"Bye."
Da Mimi waved her hand and opened the door of the private room. Her assistant Tingting, who was waiting outside, immediately came over and handed her the thermos cup.
Liu Shaoqian's assistant Xiaoxin was also outside the door. Seeing the door was open, he walked in without thinking and bumped into Da Mimi, spilling a lot of water in Da Mimi's thermos.
Some of it also spilled onto his shirt and pants.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Mi!" Xiaoxin was so scared that he tried to help Sister Mi wipe it off in a panic.
My boss's wife is not someone you can easily mess with. Last time, I didn't do something well and she scolded me for more than five minutes.
This time it was terrible, the water was splashed on the former boss's wife.
There must be a lot of reporters squatting outside. When they take pictures of the water stains on the former boss’s body, who knows what they will write!
Xiaoxin was so anxious that he almost cried.
Da Mimi frowned and asked Tingting to take out some tissues to wipe the water stains on her hands and shirt.
"Be more careful next time."
Da Mimi casually handed the tissue she had used to wipe her clothes to Xiaoxin, took the coat from her assistant Tingting, put it on to cover the water stains, and then turned and left.
Is that all? Xiaoxin was both relieved and surprised. Is this still the former boss lady I knew?
Liu Shaoqian stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He sat on the sofa for a long time, then buried his face in his hands and rubbed it.
"Brother Shaoqian, um... Tingting gave this to me just now and asked me to pass it to you."
Seeing him raise his head, the assistant next to him stammered and handed him a small box.
Liu Shaoqian's heart skipped a beat. He opened the box and found the wedding ring they had worn when they got married.
The ring was too big when I bought it, so Da Mimi couldn’t wear it, so she just wore it as a necklace.
Liu Shaoqian was 40 years old when he got married. A man of this age, who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, has seen and experienced everything.
Celebrity couples need to show their love in front of the camera, but they are just a commodity.
He had long understood in his heart that no matter who he married, it would be the same in the end. There was no need for so much passion, let alone any emotional hurt.
He has been in a bad mood since the divorce, but it was only because of the instigation of people around him. He felt that Da Mimi's many secret actions after the divorce were just to put the blame on him when the divorce was announced in the future, so he became more and more dissatisfied and wary.
Even when he was secretly photographed, his first reaction was: Could it be that Da Mimi arranged this so that she could use this as an excuse to officially announce the divorce later?
Moreover, before the official announcement of the divorce, his resources in the mainland had already plummeted.
He felt more and more that it must be Da Mimi who was behind this. Even if it was not her direct action, it must be that Jiaxing had given up on protecting his resources.
But what was unexpected was that Da Mimi actually agreed to officially announce the divorce and help him with public relations, risking the loss of the bet, and she also took the responsibility on herself!
The most important thing is what Da Mimi said just now.
If it was the old Mimi, she would definitely say something very nice to his face, telling him not to worry and that she would not use her resources to suppress him.
But today, she only said one thing: "If you stay in the mainland to develop, you can see your daughter more often."
On the surface, it is for the sake of the child, but the subtext is: Don't worry, I won't hurt you.
Although it is a roundabout way, it is much more reliable than false promises made in person.
Could it be that I had misjudged her before?
"Brother, are you okay?" Assistant Xiaoxin asked with a worried look on his face.
Liu Shaoqian looked at the wedding ring, closed the lid, put it in his pocket silently, and sighed softly.
It's completely over, that's fine, let's just go our separate ways, isn't that what it is?
"Sister Mi..." Xiao Xin hesitated, "Just now when she was leaving the house, I accidentally bumped into her and splashed water all over her, but she didn't get angry."
"If Sister Mi had been like this before, you wouldn't..."
Seeing Liu Shaoqian's expression change slightly, Xiao Xin quickly stopped talking: "I just feel that she has become so big... Is she really regretting it this time?"
Become so big?
What's so big about it?
Liu Shaoqian forced a smile and stood up: "Yeah, it has become very big, I don't know why."
——
Xinhao, Jinmao Mansion.
Da Mimi has become so big, ah, no, it’s the spiritual state that has changed a lot.
In Fang Yu's sight, after achieving transcendence, the spiritual fire on Da Mimi seemed to become alive in an instant.
Sure enough, after ordinary people achieve transcendence, the improvement of their life essence also has a certain restorative effect on their spirituality.
Freud believed that the human mind is divided into three parts: the ego, the id, and the superego.
Regardless of whether what he said is right or wrong, or whether it is nonsense, in the spiritual realm, as people grow older and gain more experience, the operation of the spirituality and the "imprint" will indeed undergo corresponding changes.
When a person is born, the spiritual fire is relatively pure and lively, but as people grow up and experience more and more in society, the spiritual operation and "aura" will change, and most of them will become more and more "stagnant" and "dim."
This "stagnation" and "grayness" are just metaphors, because the spiritual state cannot be recognized by the naked eye and there is no corresponding language to describe it.
Compared to ordinary people, Da Mimi's spiritual "damage" is more serious, and some of the "damage" is similar to Liu Feifei's.
The difference is that Liu Feifei chose to split into two different personalities, the main personality bears the pressure and harm, and the secondary personality preserves ideals and hopes.
Da Mimi deals with this "damage" by changing the way the spirit operates. By "partially closing the spiritual circuit", she forces a part of the spirit to not respond to external stimuli.
This approach is like humans using immunosuppressants to control allergic reactions. Although it avoids "severe reactions" in the short term, it also eliminates the immune system's ability to identify and transform external "threat factors."
At the same time, spirituality is unable to identify and reject the "harmful impurities" that mix into spirituality. The "impurities" mixed into spirituality will become more and more, and may eventually lead to the overall collapse of the spiritual structure.
But now, after entering the extraordinary realm, the improvement of the essence of life has caused a huge change in Da Mimi's spiritual structure. To be precise, the structure has become more complex and more changeable.
The originally closed spiritual circuit still maintains its defense against "harmful stimuli", and at the same time, an "immune system" is generated within the spirit.
Da Mimi is the first human being that Fang Yu has seen who has been promoted to the extraordinary level besides himself. It is also the first time that Fang Yu has seen how the essence of life changes the human spirit.
This new "immune system" marks and removes some of the "harmful factors" within the spirit, allowing the spirit to gradually regain its activity and clarity, while also increasing the "strength" of the individual spirit.
No, not only the intensity has changed, it seems that the spirituality has also become more... "solid"?
Using the word "solid" to describe it doesn't seem accurate either...
What is it?
Comparing the difference in spiritual "texture" between Da Mimi and Repa next to him, Fang Yu felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't really catch this hint of inspiration.
This feeling was verified during the ETPD experiment, when the 12.6 Thz signal of the "God Model" appeared.
It also appeared when the strange bead that "exists but does not exist" was discovered at the bottom of Cuiping Lake.
Now, the spiritual changes that Da Mimi had undergone after achieving transcendence made him feel this way again.
What is it exactly?
Fang Yu's eyes flashed slightly. He vaguely felt that these questions might be related. As long as he found this "inspiration", he could solve all the mysteries.
There is still a lack of "conditions for solving the problem", and it is impossible to give accurate results and proofs.
Or are there more "hidden conditions" that I haven't found?
Fang Yu touched his chin. Damn it, it felt like he was back to the first time he took the math test for the 3054 Xiwu State College Entrance Examination in the first semester of his senior year. It was like that big question that Tao Pingsheng had given him.
I’m a junior now, and I still have to solve problems?
If the conditions are not sufficient, then create them!
Many people around me are already doing Bufflit training every day, and everyone who has been promoted to extraordinary level is a "sample".
With so many “samples”, I don’t believe that we can’t find the truth!
What would happen if a personality like hers, whose spirit had long been split in two, also achieved transcendence?
Is her dual personality a rare example? Wouldn't it be more valuable for research?
Maybe you can provide more "problem-solving conditions"?
Fang Yu smacked his lips. Unfortunately, he still liked Big Bear better.
Liu Feifei barely got a B, even worse than her cousin. If her overall grades weren't good and she hadn't brought her scores up, she would probably have to pay the school selection fee to get into her school.
But I have too many students, and it is impossible for me to give Liu Feifei too much special tutoring. She started school too late and is still a long way from going to higher education. I'll just let nature take its course.
Among the other women, the closest ones are Wang Xiaoya and Tang Yufei. These two were actually the first to reach the peak of the apprentice realm.
But both of them have lazy personalities and were stuck here without any breakthrough. Instead, they were overtaken by Mimi and Scarlett.
Among the relatives and friends who have achieved mental growth through Buffy training, the one who has made the fastest progress is not Fang Daqiang, nor Huang Xiang, nor Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao, but Luo Ziming, who has always been the most lively.
This guy is usually the most jumpy, has low anti-interference ability, and is also a quick shooter.
But I didn't expect that this guy's innate mental strength is 10, and his affinity with the magic network is not low, so his mental power conversion efficiency is quite high.
It is estimated that in half a month, Luo Ziming's mental power will reach 11, and in three months to half a year, he will be able to break through the mental power limit of 12 points.
Although they cannot learn arcane magic and have no magic power in their bodies, because they are the "interface" between them and the magic network, they can use the "proxy" mechanism to make the magic network "think" that they have met the requirements of a level 1 wizard, thereby deceiving the magic network into "giving" them an improvement in their life essence.
Gigi and Kendall Jenner's progress in "refining essence into energy" is not much different. Gigi's progress is a little faster, after all, she has more time to finish.
By the way, Kim Kardashian has arrived in England these days. I’ll ask Harry how the preparations are going.
Fang Yu pulled Repa over and performed a technique of refining essence into energy.
——
"It's time to end your relationship with Meghan." William handed Harry a glass of whiskey. His demeanor was impeccable, and every move he made was filled with the grace of the world's top aristocrat.
"I was just playing around." Harry took the wine, shrugged, and drank it in one gulp.
"Who would take a woman like that seriously?"
Harry turned around seemingly indifferent and put the cup down.
"It's great that you think so. Remember, you are a member of the royal family. Fortunately, you didn't continue to embarrass the royal family and embarrass me this time."
William sat down on the sofa leisurely, his eyes fixed on Harry's back.
Of course he couldn't see the hatred flashing in his brother's eyes.
"The media relations office just told me that they'd like to arrange a get-together for you and Eleanor in the next few days. Kate and I will also be there... Rose has put a lot of thought into this matter. What do you think?"
William took a sip of whiskey and spoke.
"What else can I do? It doesn't matter who I marry. When? Where?"
Harry turned back, his eyes now submissive.
Eleanor was the 8th Earl of Carwyn, the daughter of Edmund Hugh Carwyn, and was the blind date the royal family had chosen for Harry.
Earl of Carwyn is one of the 191 earls currently living in England. He rose to prominence during the Napoleonic Wars and was granted the title by the then Regent George.
Eleanor, now 27 years old, although not good-looking, is a typical aristocratic woman. She graduated from Windsor College and obtained a master's degree in art history from Oxford University.
She has interned at Sotheby's and is currently working as a project curatorial assistant at the Great Anglia Museum.
No one expected that Harry would actually accept the blind date arranged by the royal family.
Even his grandfather, Prince Philip, Duke of Mountbatten, who was always known for his sharp tongue, found it incredible when he heard it. He frowned and asked, "The Carewyn family's daughter? Has she started wearing yoga pants too?"
Seeing Harry's attitude, William was still a little unbelievable. He didn't know why his younger brother, who always wanted everything, suddenly changed his personality.
"The day after tomorrow, there's a charity match against Sri Lanka at the Oval, in the VIP box there. What do you think?"
the day after tomorrow……
Harry's eyes flickered slightly and he nodded: "The day after tomorrow, yes. This is indeed a perfect location."
"You've finally grown up, Harry."
William patted Harry's head with satisfaction and laughed, but he didn't notice the fleeting humiliation in Harry's eyes.
