Chapter 63: Extension of the Effect of [Joker Poker]
When Zhai Da returned home, Yu Xiaoli was watching TV, while Lu Wei seemed to be studying in her room.
She decided to prepare for the college entrance examination and put in due effort, regardless of whether she was where Zhai Da could see her or not.
It was rare for Zhai Da to sit next to Yu Xiaoli. He had not sat on this sofa many times since his rebirth.
Yu Xiaoli turned around and said, "What's wrong? You're not studying today? Xiaowei is waiting for you in her room."
Zhai Da whispered, "Mom, is there any hidden secret in our family?"
Yu Xiaoli raised her eyebrows curiously: "Did you find the ice cream in the refrigerator?"
Zhai Da was stunned: "What kind of secret is this? I finished eating it all, and there is only an empty box left."
Yu Xiaoli: ...
"I mean...does our family have any hidden identities?"
Yu Xiaoli curled her lips. "From you on, three generations of your Zhai family have been workers, and those above them were poor and lower-middle peasants. Your father wanted to start a business, but unfortunately...what hidden identity can he have?"
"Your aunt, whom you haven't seen much, has done some business. Is that what you want to talk about?"
Zhai Da immediately said, "What do you mean by 'your Zhai family'? You and I are one family! Wasn't it you who decided not to change our surname?"
He has been called this name since he was a child and has long identified with it psychologically. He will definitely not want to change it now.
But it is definitely not because his sense of belonging to the Zhai family is stronger than that to the Yu family. He was raised by his mother.
"I want to ask, did Grandpa have any hidden identities back then? Like... a top expert or something? A scientist? What was he doing in Northwest China back then?"
Yu Xiaoli was surprised by the sudden mention of Yu Lihua and sighed:
"How should I know?"
"You don't know? Then who would know?"
"Your grandfather took the college entrance exam at 30, didn't go to university, and spent six or seven years in seclusion in Northwest China. He didn't have me until he was almost 40. How would I know what happened before that? And every time your grandmother talks about this, his mouth becomes as shut as if it were sewn shut."
"So much so that your grandmother has always suspected that he had someone else outside when he was 'going to be a jerk'... You know, it wasn't uncommon in that era."
Zhai Da: ...
Yu Xiaoli was born in 1967, the second year after Grandpa Zhai Da returned to Dongyang County. It is normal that she is not clear about what happened before that.
At least as far as Yu Xiaoli could remember, Yu Lihua was just a relatively respected technical expert in the woolen mill.
"As for the things you're thinking about, I also thought about them when I was young, but...it's meaningless."
She was also young and fanciful once, and Yu Lihua's life trajectory does make it easy for people to think about some things.
"But I am sure of one thing, the only thing your grandfather left us is
This house, and by the way, there are bicycles downstairs."
Zhai Da shook his head and took out the thick old notebook: "Maybe there is this one too."
He told his mother what happened today. There was no need and should not be any hiding of this kind of thing from his mother.
Yu Lihua opened the notebook and saw the familiar handwriting inside, and he felt a surge of emotion...
"It seems so. Your grandfather was in poor health in the last two years. After he retired due to illness, he wrote some things at home. I think it was me who sent them to the library at that time..."
Zhai Da's eyes immediately lit up: "There are several more, right? Mom, do you remember where they are?"
Yu Xiaoli shook her head. "It's been seventeen or eighteen years... The reference room has moved three times. I thought it was long gone, but surprisingly, there's still a copy... So your teacher is Director Liu's nephew, and he introduced Lu Wei to her. This is incredible..."
I didn’t know what adjective to use for a moment, but it felt like I had gone around in a circle and came back.
Yu Xiaoli closed the notebook, stood up and prepared to put it in her room. After all, it had special meaning and had to be protected.
Zhai Da said that he wanted to study it, and Yu Xiaoli agreed after a little hesitation.
...
Zhai Da spent the next half day with Lu Wei. He tutored Lu Wei in Chinese and English, while Lu Wei tutored him in math, physics, chemistry and biology. Occasionally, they also watched videos on the "Old Man's TV".
On the premise that he has sufficient self-awareness and self-discipline and has found the right method, the "Old Man's TV" actually has little effect on Zhai Da. He no longer needs external forces to make him "addicted to learning."
Not to mention Lu Wei, she had almost no distractions. Once she decided to work hard with Zhai Da, she would not hesitate any more.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhai Da went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came back and saw Lu Wei's back in front of the desk, he was a little dazed for a moment.
Recalling that when I was at Teacher Shen Rui's house, I "hallucinated" and saw my grandfather's back.
That should be what the system calls "resonance", which seems to be an effect that all [Note] type equipment has.
He had studied Lu Wei's Mathematical Notes (Part 1) before, but it seemed that he had never triggered it. Was it because of the blood bond?
Will there be more? Will I be able to see more of my grandfather? Zhai Da is not sure.
Oh, by the way, find some time alone and try to combine three [Lu Wei's Math Notes]...
And Lu Wei's "alexithymia"...
Zhai Da received too much information today and his mind was a little confused.
Lying on the bed, I picked up my phone and saw a text message from a "literary girl".
Lu Siwen said in a surprised tone that the number of readers of last night's blog had soared to 13,000...
And it’s still growing.
This number far exceeds the proportion that a blog should have. After all, "Bed Explorer" originally had less than 3,000 followers, and blogs are not short videos with traffic.
The huge number of readers has even pushed up the number of followers of "Bed Explorer", which currently stands at 5,000.
What surprised Lu Siwen was that, judging by the comments, 30% of people were drawn to the tongue-twisting yet philosophical phrase, while the remaining 70% were actually asking about the playing cards in the photo...
It was just a blog post, with about twenty words and a photo. If I had gone by the price that Xinglang had agreed on before, it would have cost me 1,300 yuan.
Although it was cruel, Zhai Da couldn't help but take out the monetary units and compare them in his mind.
It was exactly one month’s salary for Lu Wei.
This is obviously something to be happy about, as this money is earned without any effort.
Didn't move at all.
Even the publishing and communication were done by Lu Siwen.
After confirming that [Joker Poker] could indeed extend its effects to a certain extent by using photos as a carrier, Zhai Da planned to make a lot of money from it.
That paragraph of text was just one of the vast amount of copywriting he had accumulated in his previous life, from the famous "Retarded Bar" which was full of talented people.
In 2008, "Retarded Bar" was just a forum for psychiatrists to communicate, and a large number of philosophy masters had not yet emerged. These contents can basically be regarded as his original works. Of course, it is okay not to use the Retarded Bar content, after all, the key point is [Joker Poker].
This set of operations can allow him to earn some start-up capital in a short period of time, as long as Xinglang does not change his mind.
Considering that Lu Siwen was busy running around, although it was out of her own sense of participation, Zhai Da couldn't sit back and do his part, so he replied to Lu Siwen and gave two important instructions.
1. Urge Xinglang to implement the reward mechanism into a contract. Although the other party may find it troublesome, with the good results of the first blog, it should not be difficult to advance the process. They have the motivation to do so.
As for being overwhelmed by Zhai Da in the future, it depends on Xinglang's character.
2. The profits generated from this round of "Bed Explorers" will be split 80% with Lu Siwen, and we will treat it as a joint venture.
The ratio is the same as when I shared the "cheating fee" with Lu Wei.
This is called treating everyone equally.
He knew that Lu Siwen was not short of money, and he also knew that if he didn't mention it, no one would mention it, so he could continue to use Lu Siwen's labor for free.
But for some reason, the local boss Yu Donglai appeared in his mind during the day.
If we cannot achieve common prosperity due to limited capabilities, then at least we should achieve distribution according to work.
Even the local boss received the notice, so why can't he, a reborn person, do the same?
Are you afraid that you won’t be able to earn more money in the future?
