My Life with Narration

Chapter 587 - 578: Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men

In this family, it seems only the two young ones understand each other without speaking. As for how Su He figured it out, haha~ after the landlady’s baptism, he now has a completely new understanding of women.

Who says women are inferior to men!

When women drive like pros, they’re faster than men, and they can even team up with their girlfriends to drive, something men can’t do.

The most critical thing is, men at most talk frivolously on the surface, but when women get together, they can deeply explore techniques.

The landlady is considered among the top echelon of female driving pros; not only has she seen countless films, but she can also deduce one thing from another.

If you dare to hint a little, she instantly gets it, which is very absurd.

Fortunately, Su Qing never called her the landlady, otherwise the lights in Wen Nanqing’s house would have been broken long ago.

After dinner in the evening, Su Qing received a call from Shen Yi, still the familiar formula, still the familiar taste, congratulating him on the double success of his movie in terms of box office and reputation.

"Oh my, how does my brother have such good taste? Just a random investment in a movie catches up to my annual wage, envy, brother, come and support your sister, your sister doesn’t want to work hard anymore!"

Shen Yi’s sickly sweet voice rang out, filled with intellect and maturity, paired with her spaghetti-strap nightgown and disheveled long hair, one had to admit, she was absolutely alluring.

This is what they call the ultimate mature woman, and honestly, Shen Yi hit his aesthetic precisely, not only fair-skinned and beautiful, curvy, but most importantly, she exuded that kind of sisterly vibe perfectly.

He was really into that, a person who had the appearance of a young girl but the stable emotions of a sister—what man wouldn’t be confused?

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Everything you’re saying... those are all my words though!"

Shen Yi smiled slightly, "This kind of thing, whoever says it first owns it!"

"You’re just being cheeky. By the way, when are you planning to come back? I’ve had some incidents here recently, otherwise I would have wanted to go find you," Su Qing chuckled.

The week before Shen Yi left, he had been quite happy, but recently he felt a bit empty. If it weren’t for the lots of things happening here, he really would have found a way to visit her and give a surprise.

"What? Missing your sister?" Shen Yi leaned her chin on her hand, blinked at the screen, and blew a kiss as she asked.

"What do you think... of course I miss you!"

"Really? How much do you miss me? What do you miss about me?"

Su Qing: ...

He suddenly realized that the comment he made about Tang Nan was also quite fitting for the current Shen Yi.

In response, Su Qing didn’t say a word, just looked her up and down, the meaning unspoken but obvious.

Shen Yi’s face turned slightly red as she spat, "You rogue!"

"Hey, hey, I’ve been to college, you’ve been to college too, how can a scholar’s matters be called roguish? It’s all for revitalizing the domestic birth rate!"

"Get out of here, all you spout is nonsense. Alright, let me see, I still need a few days here, I haven’t been home for a year, gonna stay a bit longer, should return after the fifteenth, be good at home, if I find out you’ve been out with some young girl, you’re dead."

"How’s that possible? Who could be as pretty as you?" Su Qing quickly flattered.

In response, Shen Yi rolled her eyes at him, "How is that not possible? Sister Qing is so pretty, I heard you agreed to accompany her to take photos for little Yun?"

Hearing this, Su Qing’s face couldn’t help but show a bit of embarrassment. He scratched his head and said, "Ahem, a little dad is still a dad; little Yun always calls me dad and wants me to accompany her, I can’t really refuse, right? I haven’t even prepared red envelopes for this year."

It turns out, earlier this noon, Wen Nanqing mentioned to him before leaving to accompany little Yun for a photo shoot in some time.

Facing the little girl’s request, he really couldn’t refuse.

"Hmph, that little brat always calls me auntie, I wanted her to call me little mom, but she wouldn’t, really pissed me off, not adorable at all!" Shen Yi puffed out her cheeks in anger.

Clearly, she wasn’t happy about Wen Yun treating them differently.

Her boyfriend was now almost mixing as a little dad, but after so many years, she was still an auntie, not at ease.

If she could call her little mom too, Shen Yi would be very happy. What’s another goddaughter anyway, especially when it’s Sister Qing’s child, she would be quite willing.

But the little girl wasn’t having it.

Sometimes she couldn’t help but imagine, if she actually married Su Qing in the future, and the little girl called her husband dad but called her auntie, what kind of kinship is that?

It’d make the CPUs of outsiders burn, those unaware might even think Su Qing snagged a pair of sisters.

"Why are you even arguing with a kid, aren’t you just 15?"

"I just feel like it, what’s it to you? During the photo shoot, don’t be dazzled by Sister Qing’s beauty, did you hear?"

"What’s so beautiful about Sister Qing? She’s not as good-looking as you are!"

"Mmm, I like what I’m hearing, say more!"

Su Qing: ...

Sure enough, fake sisterhood is everywhere, even such a formidable woman as Shen Yi isn’t immune.

Su Qing didn’t care much about the online buzz; he’s just an investor waiting for a share of the profits.

Soon, it was the eighth day of the lunar new year, and "Wandering Earth" was just getting more and more aggressive at the box-office. In only five days, it skyrocketed to 1.2 billion. At this point, among the seven films in the New Year holiday lineup, it was unrivaled and had already laid the groundwork to be the box-office winner.

What was most unbelievable was the massive popularity that no one saw coming. They initially had some promotion, but compared to other films, the budget was a bit lacking, but a few days after the word-of-mouth increased, everyone spread it by word of mouth, and the effect was even better than paid promotions.

By now, the theaters had also noticed the movie’s potential and started increasing its screening rate. After all, with the same time, if resources weren’t allocated to moneymakers, should they go to those with mediocre performance?

A theater is a business place, and everyone is in it to make money.

With the increased screenings, "Wandering Earth" didn’t just maintain its numbers as the holiday ended, it even saw slight increases, which was pretty absurd.

Recently, Wang Fan called him every day, his mouth crooked from laughter, because the more the box office, the more they make, who wouldn’t be happy seeing silver coins rolling in.

And each time the box office grew, it was like a stab in Tang Nan’s heart. She regretted it to death by now, as would the few people dining together on that day, now feeling some regret.

As the box office kept climbing every day, Tang Nan’s cries never stopped, a scene that was both amusing and laugh-inducing.

Today was the eighth day of the lunar year, and most companies had resumed work, including Shen Yi’s company.

Today, at a restaurant on the pedestrian street, Su Qing, Wang Xing, Qin Wei, and Ding Qiang were gathered once again.

That’s right, the meticulous Wang was leaving this afternoon.

After all, he worked at a hospital and couldn’t take much more leave, so everyone came to see him off, even Ding Qiang showed up.

"Ding Qiang, you have things at home, no need to come, really!" Qin Wei laughed.

In response, Ding Qiang shook his head, "Not much use at home anyway, perfect time to come see you off. If you were leaving tomorrow, I actually might not make it."

Nothing to be done, tomorrow is Ding Qiang’s father’s seven-day mourning.

"It’s New Year, since you’re here already, don’t talk about that, let’s just eat, I’m treating today, my movie’s box-office hit it big, made a lot of money again this time, don’t hold back, eat whatever you want!"

Hearing these words, the three rolled their eyes in unison and said together:

"Are you even human?"
