Chapter 330 Baby Egg
It has been three months since "The Legend of the Demon King of the World" ended.
Shen Xuewei originally planned not to publish any new books this year after finishing her current work.
But she was used to being busy, so she could manage both her studies and club activities.
Recently, she has invested in two projects that look promising.
One is a company specializing in web design and development called Chuangye Technology, which was co-founded by students from several top universities in China.
Shen Xuewei came into contact with this project because she had previously met the sister of one of the founders of Chuangye Technology through a social exchange organized by the literary society with several other universities in Shanghai.
Through this person's connections, Shen Xuewei invested one million yuan and acquired a 13% stake.
She knew that as long as the company didn't do anything reckless, it wouldn't fare too badly in the future with the rise of the internet.
Shen Xuewei is a complete novice when it comes to web design and development.
Since she wasn't a professional, Shen Xuewei wouldn't even think of interfering in company affairs.
Anyway, once the company develops, she'll be guaranteed her share of the profits.
Seeing that she didn't interfere or meddle in company affairs, the chairman of Chuangye Technology felt that this shareholder was indeed a good one.
The other project was an education and training company, in which she invested 300,000 yuan and received a 10% stake.
The education and training industry is a perpetually popular industry.
As people place increasing importance on education, various educational institutions, training companies, and online education platforms have seen a surge in stable revenue opportunities.
Moreover, this is Shanghai, a prosperous city in China that values education.
The company's founders are all graduates of well-known universities in Shanghai, and some have even returned from studying abroad. Therefore, Shen Xuewei is very optimistic about the company's development.
Although many years later, the implementation of the "double reduction" policy restricted the development of education and training institutions.
However, there is still a ten-year development period in between, so it is still worthwhile to invest in it.
She invested money in both companies, but aside from that, she didn't concern herself with any company affairs, and still had plenty of free time.
With more free time, I feel restless and my mind is overflowing with inspiration.
I couldn't resist starting a new book because my hands were itching to write.
I've achieved financial freedom now, and I'm not writing for money anymore.
Therefore, she no longer likes to write the campus youth and domineering CEO types she used to write, but instead writes her favorite fantasy cultivation novels.
So last month I finished the outline and started another ensemble fantasy cultivation novel.
Based on the success of her previous book, Yun Li, after reviewing her outline, decided to sign her for the highest price that Dreamweaver Book Gallery could offer, and asked her to write as soon as possible.
The pen name "Huayunbi" has been neglected by her because the types of works she wrote before are not compatible with the types of works she writes now.
The cursor, originally intended as a secondary account, swept across the pseudonym "Poetry" and became her primary account.
She was typing away on the keyboard, completely oblivious to what Huang Xin and the others had been saying earlier.
When her name was called out of the blue, she lifted the curtain and peeked out at Huang Xin, her face full of confusion.
Huang Xin repeated her question, and Shen Xuewei looked at her and asked in return:
"So, do you think you did something wrong?"
Huang Xin scratched her head, making her hair look like a bird's nest.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong. But Jiayi and the others all say he’s good and stuff, making it seem like I’m the one who’s wrong.”
Lu Jiayi explained weakly, "I didn't say you did anything wrong. I just think it's a pity to miss out on him."
Shen Xuewei stretched, stood up from her chair, and leaned against the side.
"Not all efforts will be rewarded. Who says that if you pursue a girl, she has to say yes?"
If that worked, she wanted to kneel down in the bank and ask them to give her all the money.
"This is called pursuing someone, but even after a girl has clearly rejected you, you still keep bothering her..."
She sneered, "This isn't pursuing, it's harassment."
She glanced at Lu Jiayi and said, "Don't you think he's so devoted, so persistent, and his feelings for Xiao Xin are so sincere and touching?"
In this world, besides men feeling sorry for men, women also feel sorry for men.
It could be due to affection for the man, or it could be the subtle influence of traditional gender concepts.
Just like when it comes to boldly pursuing love, society assumes that men are the ones who take the initiative, and that actively seeking a relationship is associated with a man's responsibility and courage, thus making him more likely to be praised.
Even if this kind of pursuit brings trouble to the girl's life, there will always be people who will defend the man.
"He's only doing this because he likes you."
"He's already gone through all this, how can you be so ungrateful? How can you let him down?"
If a girl pursues love so boldly, others will see her as lacking in modesty and subtlety.
It goes against the traditional stereotype of women as gentle, reserved, virtuous and kind, and is easy to be criticized and pointed at wherever she goes.
Why is it that when a man takes the initiative to pursue someone, he is considered brave and responsible, while when a woman takes the initiative to pursue someone, she is considered unreserved and lacking self-respect?
If you're going to pursue someone, who says a girl has to say yes?
If all efforts were rewarded, there wouldn't be so many unhappy people in the world.
Lu Jiayi wanted to nod, but Shen Xuewei's tone was a bit off, so she didn't dare to nod.
Shen Xuewei's tone was very indifferent.
"I don't have much of an impression of him. If I had to say, I only remember that one thing he said..."
She paused, then suddenly said in a rough voice, "Xiao Xin, be with me. Although I have no house, no car, and no diamond ring, I have a heart that loves you. I swear, I will be with you for the rest of my life..."
What was originally a touching statement suddenly gave everyone goosebumps when it came out of Shen Xuewei's mouth.
Huang Xin, the object of the confession, felt extremely uncomfortable and quickly called for a halt:
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
What kind of dialogue is this? It's disgusting!
Shen Xuewei, still eager for more, asked, "So, how was my learning?"
Su Shu suppressed the goosebumps that were standing on end. "It's good, too good. Turn your face away. Right now, when I look at your face, it's like I'm looking at You Yongyuan."
She glanced at Huang Xin and said, "If he keeps harassing you like this, you're going to become infamous at school."
"Warn him again: if he continues to harass you like this, go talk to his counselor and school leaders."
Although she and Huang Xin didn't get along very well, she did feel that being pursued so diligently by a boy made her seem more attractive.
But now that I think about it, I realize that You Yongyuan and Huang Xin are indeed not a good match.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in the same school, You Yongyuan would never have had the chance to meet a girl like Huang Xin.
She even maliciously speculated that You Yongyuan was pursuing Huang Xin relentlessly because of her family's financial situation.
Those who are close to Huang Xin know a little about her family background, and of course, her roommates know even more.
She's a local Shanghainese, an only child, and her family owns four apartments and three shops.
My father works in the government and holds a high position; my mother runs a flower shop and has both money and time.
Even the grandparents on both sides of the line were educated people with pensions.
Huang Xin is the only one on both sides, so she's a precious gem.
