Jiang Yue gently patted her mother's back: "Mom, I miss you too."
Seeing the mother and daughter so affectionate, Mr. Jiang pretended to be on the verge of tears and said, "Have you two forgotten about me?"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes. How could a forty-year-old have the nerve? Jiang's mother saw Jiang Yue rolling her eyes and gave her a wink, signaling her to stop acting up. Then she let go of Jiang Yue and hugged Jiang's father. Jiang Yue watched as her father raised his eyebrows at her, even provoking her. It was really too childish.
He took out his phone, snapped a picture, and saved it. He'll show it to his grandparents when he gets back, and see if they laugh at him.
After putting away the luggage, Jiang's mother got into Jiang's father's car. She didn't dare to ride in Jiang Yue's car. She should have just ridden in Jiang's father's car. Now she had to drive herself. Sigh, what a hassle. After returning home, the family had a meal together. Jiang's mother complained to Jiang Yue about what happened during the recording of the show. She was fine when she arrived, but she collapsed before the show was even finished. Then they had to work overtime to reshoot some scenes.
"If they paid me, that would be fine, but reshoots are like working for free. If the producer wasn't an acquaintance, I would have just walked away."
"Is that Nangong XX? There have been news reports about his landslide these past few days. I didn't expect to see him on your show."
"Yes, sigh, thankfully Yue'er doesn't plan to enter the entertainment industry. It's a mess right now, otherwise I'd be worried to death. And then there's my acting... thankfully your mother's acting is passable, otherwise there would have been a mishap on the show."
Even after dinner, Jiang's mother's complaints continued. Jiang's father and Jiang Yue listened for a long time. This time, Jiang's mother was really on the verge of breaking down. After Jiang's mother finished speaking, Jiang's father put his arm around her shoulder and said, "We won't participate in these kinds of shows anymore."
"Yes, I'll have to be more careful in the future. I wouldn't have gone this time if it weren't for returning a favor. I'm afraid that if I go too many times, I'll ruin my reputation."
Jiang Ma's career has not been very successful; she has never won any TV or film awards, and she has absolutely no talent in music.
Because she is quite laid-back, she entered the entertainment industry after graduation, and then got married not long after. Just as her career was starting to take off, she gave birth to Jiang Yue. By the time she recovered, two or three years had passed, and when she re-entered the industry, she was almost like a newcomer. Over the years, she has only played the leading role a few times, and the few times she did play the leading role were only because her father invested and pulled strings.
After my grandparents' and maternal grandparents' houses were demolished, they received their first sum of money. Both families were teachers and didn't know anything about financial management. After getting the money, they bought houses. Over the years, they bought and demolished houses, reaping all the benefits of the real estate boom.
After graduating, Jiang's father started his own business, which went very smoothly. Now he has several small goals in terms of wealth, a happy family, a loving couple, and no shortage of money. Acting is just a hobby, and he has achieved great success without any expectations. To be honest, if the original owner of this body hadn't died halfway through his life, this would be the life that 99% of people dream of.
That evening, the mother and son huddled together scrolling through Douyin (TikTok). Jiang's mother was looking at several of Jiang Yue's Douyin accounts, and she was quite puzzled as to why so many people were watching her home renovation videos. She didn't understand why anyone was watching. Jiang Yue didn't know either. In her later years, there were indeed short videos about home renovations that became incredibly popular, with millions of followers. Jiang Yue only found out about this after Bai Ze reminded her.
Jiang's mother was quite interested in the video editing account, probably because it was related to her profession. There weren't many videos, and Jiang's mother finished watching them in no time. She was still a little unsatisfied afterward: "When I watched this movie, I didn't notice so many details. Yue'er, do you think these details were intentionally left out by the director?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "There are some, but most of them are just over-interpretations. The director didn't think that much when he was filming. It's just that when more people talk about it, that's how it becomes. It's like when many dramas become popular and the main actors are interviewed, they say that they originally didn't plan to act in the role, and that the director persuaded them to do so."
"Mom, you're an actress too, don't you think so?"
Jiang's mother nodded in agreement: "I'm always overjoyed when they ask me to act, but I'm afraid they'll change the cast halfway through. You can't really choose whether you go or not, unless you're a top-tier star, then there's a chance."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Mr. Jiang finished his work. He looked at Mrs. Jiang's phone and saw her watching videos of Jiang Yue's account: "Wife, what do you think of Yue'er's accounts?"
"I think it's fine. I just don't understand why anyone would watch people repairing donkey hooves or washing carpets. I can understand the knife-forging competition, since boys like to play with knives and guns. But I don't understand why people watch the other two."
"It's great for stress relief. You can stare at this for a long time and your mind will be completely blank. You don't have to think about anything. People are under so much pressure these days, it's perfectly normal."
The decompression video account was recently created by Bai Ze. In less than a week, it has gained nearly five million followers across the entire network. There are similar videos on Douyin, but Bai Ze has a significant advantage: he can search for similar videos across the entire network, and his editing skills are top-notch, which is why he has managed to overtake others.
Jiang Yue didn't film a vlog, and Bai Ze suggested that she just stay home and become a product review blogger. With it, product selection wouldn't be a problem, and she could hack into factories at any time to check the production process and raw materials, so there was basically no chance of something going wrong. She could also sell products from her father's company. Jiang Yue thought about it and thought it made perfect sense; it suited her well. She bought a bunch of things and was on her way.
As Jiang's parents chatted, they pushed Jiang Yue to the side. By the time Jiang Yue realized what was happening, she was already at the other end of the sofa. Jiang's parents were snuggled together, talking animatedly with their heads close together. There were even videos they shared in their loving family group chat, tagging grandparents and other relatives to see them.
Jiang Yue looked at the data of several accounts, and they were all good. The accounts with the most followers could earn one or two hundred yuan a day, and people even came to advertise for them. However, the follower engagement was not high at the moment, so Bai Ze decided to wait and see. Although the followers of the other accounts were growing slowly, they were also slowly increasing.
After putting down her phone, Jiang Yue remembered the matter of sending a big gift package to the country. Such matters should be handled sooner rather than later. While her parents were being affectionate, Jiang Yue went to the garden and had Bai Ze control the surveillance. She then found a puppet in her spatial storage, handed the gift package to the puppet, and the puppet disappeared underground after receiving it. Bai Ze was using full-power control so there was no fear of it being lost.
Jiang Yue had no intention of contacting the government in her life. She planned to have Bai Ze secretly deliver the puppet to him when he was alone. Since there was artificial intelligence inside, there was no need to explain. Bai Ze was very fast. He found the person after scanning at full power. The puppet was also at full power. Two minutes later, they arrived at the bottom of the house.
Bai Ze blocked all the surrounding surveillance cameras. Before going in, he also took a pill, since Number One was old and might cause a bad thing instead of a good one.
