Chapter 210 Tea Party After the Movie
The empire's territory is wider than that of the Ten Stars. They have annexed surrounding countries, large and small, and own as many as thirty star systems.
Fortunately, after they occupied a territory, they did not adopt education and assimilation, but preferred enslavement.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, so there are many small-scale wars every day.
As a result of the consumption of this small war, many insidious weapons emerged.
This thing is the product of such a big environment.
The captured nobles had soft backs and vomited everything they could, but they could be asked if they understood space instruments.
They only know how to eat, drink and have fun.
If you understood, you wouldn't be here carrying a hoe and digging the soil, but going to the prison and using your brain with professors to reduce suffering.
Because of this, Su Xiaocai almost had a fight with Lieutenant General Bai.
She is being paid 3,000 yuan a month and wants to do a job worth 100,000 yuan? Who are you slagging?
Lieutenant General Bai did not accept the challenge, but Su Xiaocai took the opportunity to vent her anger and fought with Colonel Yuan. It was the first time that Colonel Yuan was beaten so badly. When he was checked with medical equipment, it was found that the bones in his hands were broken and he was limping.
"Why did you really fight with her? If you really want to fight, you don't have to give in to her." Lieutenant General Bai, who was watching the show, drank tea and pretended to care about his men.
"I didn't let her, she was too strong." I couldn't understand how such a small girl could be so strong.
Colonel Yuan somewhat believed the statement that concentration is the essence.
Lieutenant General Bai said, "I remember she didn't have that much strength before."
"Su Xiaocai has the strength of an admiral, stronger than you." The well-behaved Colonel Yuan might have been provoked and tried to provoke his superior.
Lieutenant General Bai laughed and said, "I won't compete with her. She is already an admiral." It seemed that the provocation was useless, but Lieutenant General Bai secretly found a way to find Su Xiaocai that night, and used a new simulation cabin to compete with her in the new world.
If he hadn't known that a fully-functional simulation cabin couldn't change a character's attributes, he would have thought that Su Xiaocai had turned into a bug-man.
Su Xiaocai, who was extremely strong, was particularly difficult to deal with. Even though he was extremely agile and quite strong, he still tied twice, lost once, and won twice.
In a communication that did not involve life and death, he was still slightly better. Only then did Lieutenant General Bai eliminate the impact of Colonel Yuan's words.
A life-and-death battle might be different. Su Xiaocai has a tenacious, hard-to-predict fighting style. If it were in a complex universe or terrain, General Bai would estimate that he would lose more than he wins.
Su Xiaocai has much more knowledge in her head than he does.
Afterwards, Lieutenant General Bai asked directly, "Why are you so strong? It's abnormally strong."
“I drink a lot of Min juice.”
"..."What a disgusting drink.
Someone once described it this way: After drinking the juice, the taste was so moving that tears fell unconsciously and the person cried and said that it would never happen again.
"Does it have the effect of increasing strength?" asked Lieutenant General Bai.
There are too many plants in the world, and it is hard for anyone to be willing to study something so unpalatable.
What Su Xiaocai finds interesting is that the substance in the juice that can enhance strength actually becomes less effective after being extracted into medicine.
For some patients with myasthenia gravis, the drug has mild effects and can be taken for a long time.
If someone like Su Xiaocai needs it to increase his strength, he needs to drink it in big gulps.
The harder it tastes, the stronger the effect.
This might be the price. After drinking it every day, Su Xiaocai would have a loss of appetite for half an hour.
Su Xiaocai replied: "Yeah, that's right."
Lieutenant General Bai suspected that Su Xiaocai was trying to fool him, but he had no evidence. After that day, he also drank the Min juice. He drank it every day during the holidays. If there was no effect, he would only ask her.
Colonel Yuan saw Lieutenant General Bai swallowing the mint juice bitterly every day, and almost thought it was his fault for leading Lieutenant General Bai astray.
If this continues, Admiral Bai's daily activities will be filled with "earth remedies".
Ji Li and Su Xiaocai's research continues as usual, but there is more to life than research.
The movie was about to start, and Su Xiaocai put down the work at hand and went to see the two little stars she had sponsored.
Just when she was taking time out to watch a movie, Ji Li came over from the manor and said, "The movie invested by the company is about to be released. Are you interested in going to the theater to watch it together?"
Going to the cinema to watch a movie, the atmosphere is different from watching it alone in the New World.
Su Xiaocai: “…”
She secretly thanked God that she didn't tell Ji Li that she bought the ticket.
Her future boyfriend asked her to go to the cinema to watch the premiere together, so she went.
The ticket to New World will be automatically invalid after it expires, so the ten yuan is wasted.
After she disguised herself and arrived at the cinema, she sat in the semi-virtual chair with the best position in the cinema, with Ji Li on her left and Yu Haiming on her right.
Yu Haiming wore optical camouflage earrings, which changed the contours of his facial features. People who were not familiar with him could not tell who he was.
But Su Xiaocai recognized him at a glance, "Didn't you vow to stay at the company until death?"
Yu Haiming also recognized this sister.
“Aren’t you watching it in the New World?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Xiaocai's little thoughts were easily exposed.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Su Xiaocai glanced at Ji Li guiltily. The dim environment made the man's profile look even more profound.
The "beauty" glanced at her, causing Su Xiaocai's heart to beat rapidly. She immediately tried to comfort her, "I just want to take a quick look and figure out if it's worth investing in another movie. I definitely don't mean to not invite you. You are my big baby. If this movie is rubbish, it will affect my mood and our relationship! Next time I invest in a movie, I will definitely take the initiative to invite you."
She said sweet words and pinched her face. If she wasn't so young, you would have thought she was a sea king.
“That’s not necessary.” Ji Li knew that Su Xiaocai was a person who spoke the truth. If he continued, she would start to make up stories again, and he would be the only one who would be angry.
Su Xiaocai glared at Yu Haiming.
Yu Haiming curled his lips, "Even if I don't tell you, Brother Ji will know it sooner or later."
"It's only a matter of time. It can happen sooner or later, you big mouth. How can I be your brother if you want me to take the blame for your mistakes? You know Ji Li is my first love, Bai Yueguang, how can you destroy my image like this?"
Yu Haiming: ???
Ji Li: ???
As expected of you, what an image you have!
Ji Li's handsome face was covered with "dark clouds". Su Xiaocai said that he was her first love, Bai Yueguang, so he should be happy, but what should he do if he couldn't be happy for some reason? He had the urge to strangle her to death.
Take a deep breath and hold it in.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ji Li directly covered her chattering mouth and said, "The show is about to begin."
The movie is not about heroes, but about the scenes of small people fighting against insects. The protagonist is a mecha division team of five people. In order to wait for rescue, one sacrificed, three died in battle, and the last one lost both hands.
The cruelty of the war is vividly expressed in the scenes. There are many things to do and not to do after the arrival of the Zerg.
Among them is the popular science introduction of the new life shielding instrument, which makes many viewers know about this item. It is available for sale online and can be placed at home like a fire extinguisher.
The movie came to an end when the huge rescue team arrived. Two of the children could only be seen from their backs, and they saluted the rescuers.
Representing the new generation, they will also inherit the will of their predecessors and fight against the insect people.
Su Xiaocai felt that the film’s portrayal of cruelty was very mild, and she was not too touched by it.
It was different for others because the semi-virtual seats made people feel as if they were in the situation. They empathized and used several tissues.
Yu Haiming used to live a hard life, so hard that even bitter melon tasted sweet to him, and it was difficult for him to be moved by emotions.
Even so, his eyes turned red while watching the movie.
The two people next to him, one was yawning, and the other was holding his chin, with a slightly dazed expression and not in the right state of mind.
"Are you two heartless?"
When you have seen similar real-life scenes tens of thousands of times, and then look at the idealized movie scenes, Su Xiaocai can only say: "I have a black heart, even dogs wouldn't eat me."
Ji Li gave a different answer: “I don’t really like watching movies and TV series. Every time I watch them, I see a lot of loopholes and flaws.”
Almost all movies get nasty reviews from Ji Li, luckily Ji Li is not so bored as to write movie reviews.
Yu Haiming sighed: "It's true that people from the same family don't live in the same house."
"Yes, yes, you are also a family." Su Xiaocai clicked his tongue and left.
The acting skills of both actresses are pretty good. In the movie, they both abandoned their images and brought to life the panic and fear of an ordinary person.
Both of their characters are likable. One of them was willing to sacrifice herself for her friend, the mecha pilot. No matter how panicked she was, she did not hold him back. In the end, she pulled the disabled mecha pilot into the shielding device and saved him from danger.
The other one hid underground and snatched back two steamed buns by force. Then he turned around and sat next to a dead old lady, pulled up the old lady's granddaughter who was almost fainted from hunger, and gave her half a steamed bun.
These are all the lives of small people, and they are full of confusion about the future, but she is very determined. A few lines from the play explain why she is selfish and selfless.
Selfishly, it is to stay alive. Selflessly, he pulls up his "granddaughter" in order to find a companion.
She understands human nature and knows that at times like this, it is easy to give up on oneself, so her "granddaughter" becomes her spiritual support. Her "granddaughter" needs her, and she cannot give up living.
This kind of contradictory expression brings a character to life.
You can see that he put his heart into the performance.
In later film reviews, some professional film critics thought that they were both good. In the art industry, it always needs people to perform well.
After finishing the movie, Su Xiaocai sent them a private message, praising them, saying that these two 18th-tier actors were qualified and could continue to be invested in.
A small essay of fair praise made the two actors very excited. "We have a lot of news to share with you. Do you have time? Let's make an appointment to meet, okay?"
Fei'er acted coquettishly towards Su Xiaocai.
Ever since they started filming this movie, they have been receiving advertisements from small brands one after another. However, the two sisters value their reputation and dare not squander it, so they have not accepted any of them. At most, they have shot some environmental protection and fashion-related ones.
After Su Xiaocai came back from Lanxing, her popularity skyrocketed.
People all over the world became even friendlier to them.
In the past, the agent dared to scold them. If they didn’t attend a fashion show, he would scold them for being ungrateful. If they didn’t go, he would scold them for not appreciating the resources he had worked so hard to get.
After all, they have too few activities.
If Yu Haiming didn't secretly arrange some resources, they would probably starve to death.
Now, the agents dare not speak loudly to them. They treat them no differently than their ancestors.
As soon as the movie was released, many scripts came in, and some larger brands even approached the company. All of the brands that came to the company were good and not just seeking fame because of Su Xiaocai's support.
The two little sisters finally got their revenge.
Fortunately, Yu Haiming repeatedly warned them not to accept resources indiscriminately, otherwise when big money came, they would not be able to accept it so smoothly.
Of course, the two sisters were able to get through these months safely thanks to Su Xiaocai.
Well, I have some shocking gossip, but it is not convenient to communicate online, so I can't wait to come to the door.
Su Xiaocai didn't know whether to meet them or not. If she did, it would confirm the rumors that she was promoting the two little stars.
No, the news that the two were taken care of by her was not hidden and spread quickly. There were also rumors that she was promiscuous and had no aversion to meat at such a young age.
What a sin, she is just a domineering boss who loves to see and hear.
Su Xiaocai thought for a while and sent them a message, "Come to Youyi Diancai Manor."
After getting Su Xiaocai's clear answer, the two sisters shook hands with each other and said, "It's settled. We will have someone to protect us from now on." No one is more suitable to be a financial sponsor than Su Xiaocai.
Not seeking money or sex, just wanting to hear interesting stories, what could be a more comfortable and stable trading relationship than this?
The two sisters came to the door without bringing anything. They put on exquisite makeup and wore beautiful clothes, looking their best to meet their sponsor.
The meeting place was set in front of the newly built movable building in the manor. It was already evening, and the two sisters turned down all their notices and headed straight for the manor.
In the quiet courtyard, there were two small charcoal stoves on the table, with a lot of food piled on the stoves, including tofu skin, potato tubers, and small pieces of meat, and steaming tea at hand.
The cute furry robot was standing next to the table, using tongs to turn over the meat. The thumb-sized piece of meat was golden brown on all sides, and it was obvious that the cooking time was just right.
"Ms. Su." Fei'er and Luo Min called her coquettishly.
Looking up from the e-book, Su Xiaocai pointed to the seat next to her and said with a smile, "Sit down, don't be so polite."
The two of them glanced at what Su Xiaocai was looking at.
It is full of complicated formulas and numbers, and probably a lot of professional terms. To them, it is undoubtedly a mystery.
The two of them couldn't help but stand in awe.
Mr. Su is indeed a recognized academic genius. What he has learned is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Don't be so reserved. Even though I'm learning these things, it doesn't stop me from preferring to be a wild boar."
Seeing that Su Xiaocai was as down-to-earth as ever, Fei'er and Luo Min relaxed a little and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, Xiaowanzi put two pieces of meat on the plates in front of them and said considerately: "Beef tenderloin, you won't get fat if you eat a few pieces."
The two were flattered and quickly said thank you, expressing their admiration that the robots in the god's house were so polite.
They said everything they thought, without hiding anything.
This filter is thicker than Su Xiaocai's face and successfully makes Su Xiaocai blush a little.
"Eat, drink some tea, and tell me what you have heard recently."
In the entertainment industry, many things are hearsay, and their authenticity is questionable.
In order to restore the truth as much as possible, the two sisters inquired very carefully. People in the circle knew that they loved to inquire and gossip. They probably never told anyone about it, so we would talk to them more.
