86: Chapter 86 The Fox Has Arrived in Shenzhen?
Smoking in an air-conditioned room is something only a jerk would do.
Shen Weiyue locked his computer screen, ran outside the door to smoke, and casually lit one for Brother Crow, who had just returned from patrolling his territory.
"Brother Zhang, there's something I need to tell you in advance. I'm going back to my hometown in a few days."
"Oh, school is about to start, right? Come back when you're on break. The construction site here still has over two years to go; come find me for a drink anytime."
Brother Crow didn't think much of it, thinking that as long as your parents were still at my construction site, we would meet again sooner or later.
This is what I call taking parents hostage to command the rebellious son.
Shen Weiyue, however, shook his head with a smile: "I probably won't be able to come here much later. I plan to take my parents with me and let them go back to our hometown to live."
"What? They're not working anymore?"
"Yeah, it's my turn to earn money to support them now. They won't be working anymore."
Brother Crow's mouth fell open, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Other people's children are still living off their parents after graduating from college, but this kid is different—he's just started college and is already planning to let his parents go home and retire.
I want a son like this too!
If it weren't for my daughter who's only in elementary school, I'd want to just lie flat and enjoy life too.
Shen Weiyue patted his chest, full of bravado: "Brother Zhang, don't worry. The bond between us brothers is here. Being brothers, it's all in the heart!"
"Right, being brothers, it's all in the heart!" Having grown up watching Young and Dangerous, Project Manager Zhang Yaoyang said with a smile, "Before you leave, I'll find a place to give you a send-off."
"Thanks, but we're not going to Dongguan this time, right?"
"How can that be? If you don't have some local specialties, people will say I treated my brother poorly."
Project Manager Zhang Yaoyang laughed heartily, setting the tone for the send-off.
This time, no matter what, I'm going to push you in.
Always playing at the doorstep, what kind of thing is that?
...
Finished smoking a cigarette.
Those patrolling went to patrol, those writing went to write; everyone had a bright future.
Shen Weiyue broke into a cold sweat looking at the comments on his novel.
Damn it, no wonder web novel authors must never reveal their real information; people really will come to block their doors offline.
The editor was saying that if he didn't update another chapter tonight and release the next part of the story, he would personally dox him.
While grumbling, Shen Weiyue posted another chapter from his stored drafts amidst a pile of tips.
Now everyone was satisfied.
He'd pushed Bureau Chief Jiang; the protagonist was about to start his "acting cool" mode. How could they not be satisfied?
Shen Weiyue automatically ignored that huge tip and frowned as he looked at his remaining drafts.
How much was left?
Not much, not much. Is it a lot?
It is not much!
Even the landlord's family has no surplus grain; no matter what, he couldn't add another update today.
In about ten days, he had to go back to his hometown, and after that, he had to register for school. There were a bunch of things to deal with, and he wouldn't have time to write then, so wouldn't he have to rely on his stored drafts?
Shen Weiyue steeled his resolve, closed the author dashboard directly, and then ignored everything else to write like crazy.
Feng Jiayue was posing online, asking him to go sell goods.
Boss Shen sternly refused. He said he wouldn't go over there this afternoon no matter what. He wouldn't even enter the Peach Blossom Spring; he just wanted to grind out a few more chapters to save up.
The female demon shall not disturb my Dao heart!
Shen Weiyue hammered the keyboard until sparks flew. While writing frantically, he thought painfully to himself that he would stop writing after finishing this book.
This book had already blown up and could earn him a large sum of startup capital.
Once this Bureau Chief went to school, he would start a business and become a boss, then wash his hands of this and stop writing for good.
Being a flop author is painful, but being a hit author is even harder to endure.
Thinking about the web novels he'd read, other reincarnators either won tens of millions in the lottery, raked in hundreds of millions betting on soccer, or even became the world's richest person in a year by playing the stock market.
Yet only I, this reincarnator, am so miserable, having to use my lumbar discs as consumables to make money. Damn it all!
...
Two days later.
A plane taking off from Chengdu landed at Shenzhen Airport. As soon as Lu Chunyue and Zhao Qingyan got off the plane, they felt the heat here.
Zhao Qingyan raised her palm to block the sunlight and looked at the buildings in the distance, which appeared blurry and distorted due to the scorching sun. She thought to herself, is that donkey living in this kind of environment?
Shen Weiyue said in their chat that he was currently moving bricks at a construction site, getting up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs every day, and was almost tanned into an African black person.
Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but be a little curious about what Shen the Donkey would look like after getting tanned.
Would his face be as black as charcoal, with only a pair of eyes rolling around, and then he'd reveal a set of big white teeth that looked very white by comparison?
That must look especially funny.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and a trace of excitement couldn't help but appear in her expression.
Big Black Donkey, didn't expect this, did you? I've come to see you make a fool of yourself.
"Baby, you're already this happy before even seeing your uncle? I told you we should come out and walk around more. Lu Jiangyun arranged this just right this time; I have to praise him properly!"
Seeing her daughter in a happy mood, Lu Chunyue thought it was because they were going to Disney soon, and she felt proud of her choice.
She took out her phone and called her brother: "Hello, Jiangyun, Qingyan and I have landed... Where are you? Okay, got it. We'll come out through the VIP passage; it's too hot here..."
After finishing the call, she pulled Zhao Qingyan and said: "Your uncle's driver is already waiting for us. He has a meeting this morning, so we'll eat over by his company in a while. We'll make do with something at the hotel, and wait until evening for him to take us to eat local specialties."
"Oh, I'm not picky. If Uncle is busy, we can just eat something casual ourselves."
"Just listen to his arrangements. His own sister and niece have arrived; he has to show it properly, right? I spoiled him the most when he was little."
"Is that what you call spoiling? Uncle says you always bullied him when you were little."
Zhao Qingyan exposed her mother's words to her face, but Lu Chunyue became even prouder. Which sister doesn't hit her younger brother?
You only talk about bullying, but did you forget when I raised him, changing his diapers and feeding him?
The mother and daughter complained to each other as they went through the VIP service to exit the airport, seamlessly connecting with the private car arranged by Lu Jiangyun, without having to be in the sun at all.
The driver drove very steadily along the way, and before long, they arrived in the Huaqiangbei area.
Zhao Qingyan herself felt it was strange.
Uncle's company is here, and that donkey Shen Weiyue is actually here too. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
"Ms. Lu, Ms. Zhao, the boss has already arranged the accommodation. I'll help you take your luggage up."
"No need, it's just a little bit of stuff. We'll take it ourselves. You can drive the car back to the company; your President Lu will just walk over from the company, it's right next door anyway."
Lu Chunyue was always very easygoing with people, and the driver obeyed obediently.
After the mother and daughter settled in, they waited for the big boss of the Lu family to come over for a meal.
Zhao Qingyan took a photo of a landmark building not far outside the floor-to-ceiling window and, without saying anything, sent it directly to Shen Weiyue's QQ.
Her personality was just like that: spontaneous, casual, and distinct in her loves and hates. If she wanted to do something, she just did it.
Shen Weiyue was currently in a hourly-rate room guiding Feng Jiayue on sales techniques. After seeing Zhao Qingyan's message, he was so startled that he jumped up with a "pop" sound.
"Damn, the Fox has come to Shenzhen?"
Feng Jiayue, with dazed eyes, was just about to ask him what was wrong, but Shen Weiyue no longer had the interest to impart knowledge. He waved his hand, shooing her off to wash up.
"Damn it, why do I have a guilty conscience? The Fox isn't my wife, what am I afraid of?"
Shen Weiyue frowned deeply, contemplating the photo: "She sent a photo without any explanation. What does she mean by that?"
"Forget it, the Fox's thoughts are impossible to guess. I'll just ask!"
The Big Black Donkey that the little fox was imagining sent a message back.
"Oh, my God, has our beautiful School Beauty personally arrived in Shenzhen?"
