Chapter 650: My Su Yang
The two of them didn’t know when it started, but whenever they met, a faintly beautiful atmosphere would be born.
The two of them had not noticed it themselves, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was extremely obvious.
The people who worked at Jiadian E-Commerce Company were all in their 20s’ or 30s’ and they had experienced this phase which was the best phase of their lives. Therefore, they easily noticed the ambiguity between the young man and woman and covered their mouths to chuckle silently.
Some of the bolder employees secretly raised their heads silently and looked at the two of them.
“Cough, cough.” As a competent female secretary, Pan Zhaodi reminded Su Yang timely and warned those who were watching the gossip.
Su Yang came back to his senses and pretended to be calm as he said, “Um… Um… Could you help me and Chu Xia pour two cups of water.”
Dressed in a professional suit and black stockings, Pan Zhaodi, who was dressed like a cold and able woman, nodded and said, “Ok.”
After instructing Pan Zhaodi, Su Yang walked towards Chu Xia. Under everyone’s gaze, he pulled Chu Xia to the chairman’s office.
It had been a long time since Chu Xia had been in the office, so when she came to the door of his office, she looked up at the nameplate and exclaimed, “Have you gotten… Promoted?”
Su Yang pushed the door open and walked in with her before saying, “Nope, I think i should be considered to have been dismissed.”
Chu Xia, who did not understand the entire structure of the company, was filled with confusion.
Not long after, Pan Zhaodi knocked on the door and brought over a cup of water and a cup of coffee. After placing the cup of water in front of Su Yang, Pan Zhaodi placed the coffee at Chu Xia’s place.
Su Yang looked at Pan Zhaodi in surprise.
Pan Zhaodi explained expressionlessly, “Ms. Chu Xia likes coffee.”
Su Yang looked at Chu Xia. Chu Xia, who was holding a cup of coffee, squinted her eyes into two little rainbows. She looked as cute as a cat that was intoxicated by a piece of dried fish.
Su Yang nodded. “Alright. Thanks, Sister Zhaodi.”
Pan Zhaodi nodded slightly and left the room, returning to her office.
After Pan Zhaodi left, Chu Xia said cutely, “Sister Zhaodi is such a nice person. When you weren’t in the company, she was the one who welcomed me.”
Su Yang nodded. ‘I feel like Chu Xia’s secretly entered my internal organization.’
Following that, under Chu Xia’s request, Su Yang took out the [Squid That Didn’t Like To Dive] and gave Chu Xia a buff. Due to the fact that this squid had not been used for a period of time, Su Yang kept throwing it into Pool’s swimming pool to recuperate while Little Hus took care of it.
‘After not seeing this squid for half a year, it actually… Gained weight.
‘I wonder if its buff would increase as well.’
Su Yang took it out, threw it into the fish tank and placed it on the table. Then, Chu Xia turned on her computer and started writing her novel with “Clicking” noises.
Su Yang took a few glances at her and realized that she was really focused.
‘Based on her focus, I can tell that… She must’ve owed her readers quite a lot of updates.
‘Otherwise, she would not be so focused.
‘After all, how could anyone ignore me when I’m such a charismatic person?’
Since there was no one else to play with him, Su Yang went out and asked Pan Zhaodi to bring him a table and chair. He intended to continue drawing RMB banknotes in his office.
After Pan Zhaodi left, Su Yang took out a few banknotes from his pocket and placed it on the table. Then, he took out a 100 yuan banknote and started to draw.
With his [Beginner Painting Ability], Su Yang’s basic skills were actually very solid. Furthermore, he knew a thing or two about various drawing techniques. ‘Perhaps, with my current standard, I might not be able to come up with a particularly beautiful or unique painting. However, I shouldn’t have any problems with copying.
‘Especially now that Chu Xia’s by my side, I can calm down and start drawing quietly.’
Chu Xia truly did come to look for Su Yang on that day for the sake of her novel. Due to the fact that she had a lot of work to do that semester and had also earned quite a bit of money, she had developed the habit of being a famous author… Dragging.
Initially, she would write 4000-6000 words a day. Later on, she would write 2000 words a day as a daily routine.
After that, she used the excuse that her studies were more important and would rest for two days every week.
Then, after that… She would update irregularly.
When she had the inspiration, she would write one or two chapters. Sometimes, she would just not write anything whenever she did not have any inspiration.
Therefore, her readers were all waiting for her updates. The amount of iron pieces that she had been mailed could be sold for a lot of money at the recycling station.
Some of the more extreme readers even made her a chair of little knives or even threatened to drag Chu Xia into the small dark room to lock her up, refusing to give her any food if she did not write.
Little did they know… This could actually be something thousands of authors would love to have.
As web novelists sat in front of their computers all year round and stayed at home, they did not exercise much, causing their bodies to expand rapidly.
If there was a place to lose weight, perhaps the authors would be more than happy to do so.
As for Chu Xia, she was not fat, of course, but… Is there actually a girl who would complain if they were thinner?
Therefore, Chu Xia did not care about the threats at all. Instead, she just spent the whole semester carefreely.
In the end, her readers started an uprising with all kinds of “one man blood letters” and threats to “leave the group” to complain about Chu Xia’s atrocities and demanded an update.
Some readers even wrote a long letter to Chu Xia, saying that they could understand very well when Chu Xia initially said that she wanted to focus on her studies and would update whenever she felt like it. ‘I understand and believe that studying is the most important, so I will silently support you.
‘However, you should have been done with your university exams by now, yet why have you not updated yet? Will I still be alive by the time you release your next update? Or, would I have to ask my children to burn the update for me?’
The long letter that this female reader wrote moved Chu Xia greatly. Only then did she realize that there were so many readers silently waiting for her, waiting for the fate of the character in her book to be revealed.
Furthermore, she had just finished her exams, so she decided to start writing again. She wanted to finish the book and give her readers a perfect explanation.
Thus explains why all that had happened on that day.
Under the influence of the squid’s buff, Chu Xia’s inspiration kept on rus.h.i.+ng into her mind like an endless spring. All the characters in her book seemed to have come alive, living their own lives in Chu Xia’s mind as they acted out one scene after another.
Chu Xia felt like she was not the creator of a novel, but a mover where she would record all the stories from that magical world into words before moving all of it to this world.
So, gradually, she became immersed in the situation, being worried about the fate of the characters in the novel, feeling relaxed for the protagonist who had managed to break through a tough obstacle, teary-eyed for the love between the male and female protagonist and smiled for the sweet interaction between the two of them.
Very quickly, as the chapters were being completed one after the next, the entire story came to an end. “Su Yang, the live-in son-in-law”, was finally reunited with the female lead.
Chu Xia wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and stopped her fluttering hands. She then looked at “the other Su Yang”… Her Su Yang.
Su Yang was drawing something on a small table not far away from her.
Chu Xia stretched her aching fingers and stood up gently. She tiptoed over to Su Yang and sized him up.
Su Yang was focused on drawing the banknote when he suddenly felt that the light in front of him had dimmed. He raised his head and saw… A flat body…
Other than the slight rise and fall to prove the gender of the girl before him, she was practically no different from a man. Then, Su Yang could not help but sigh. ‘Life is indeed imperfect.’
Su Yang lifted his head from her small b.r.e.a.s.t.s and looked at the surprised Chu Xia. “Are you done?”
Chu Xia didn’t answer Su Yang’s question at all. She pointed at Su Yang’s drawing and exclaimed, “You… You… Su Yang, are you forging counterfeit banknotes?!”
Su Yang was stunned.
‘Counterfeit banknotes?’
He looked down again. ‘Oh… My RMB banknotes… No wonder Chu Xia is reacting like that.’
However, before he could explain, Chu Xia quickly pressed his hand down and said, “Su Yang! You’ve got to reconsider this! It’s illegal to create counterfeit money!”
Su Yang replied, “I didn’t…”
Chu Xia looked into his eyes and said firmly, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. You don’t have to explain yourself either. I know that counterfeit currency experts would draw the patterns of genuine banknotes with their own two hands which looks flawless..
“After that, they’ll use this drawing to make a circuit board and an inverted mold. Finally, they’d finalize the paper and the color-changing paint before they start to print these counterfeit banknotes.”
Su Yang was confused. ‘Young lady, why do I feel that you’re the one who’s actually making counterfeit banknotes? You sound so familiar with the processes already, don’t you?’
Chu Xia pressed Su Yang’s hand and said, “But, I don’t want you to walk down this path of no return, Su Yang.”
Su Yang was speechless.
“Chu Xia, you’ve really misunderstood. It’s true that I’m drawing a banknote, but I have other motives.”
Chu Xia looked at Su Yang. It was obvious that she couldn’t figure out who would copy banknotes other than intending to create counterfeits. Moreover, Su Yang was copying a 100 yuan banknote.
Su Yang explained, “I want to make a special item with superpowers.”
Chu Xia asked curiously, “Special item? With a banknote?”
Su Yang nodded and said, “After I copy this banknote, I can turn it into a useful special item.”
Chu Xia asked curiously, “What kind of abilities would it have?”
Su Yang shrugged. “I don’t know either. We’ll only know after it’s done.”
After saying that, Su Yang shook the paper in his hand and took a closer look at the details. He felt that it was already very realistic. Therefore, he opened the system shop and chose [Appraise].
[Similarity level: 52%]
‘It’s only 52%… This is really hard…’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang sent Chu Xia back to continue writing novels while he continued to fulfill the remaining 8%.
After another half an hour, Su Yang checked the similarity level again.
[Similarity level: 61%. Congratulations on pa.s.sing the test.]
Su Yang finally heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Things are going to be easier after this test.’
With that in mind, he took out the gla.s.s phone from his pocket and called Spirit Building out. Then, he took out a few Little Monster Bean Fragments, an iron basin and a lighter from the virtual s.p.a.ce.
Then, with the lighter in his hand, he lit up the remains of the Little Monster Bean Fragments and tossed it into the iron basin. The fire started to burn, but the strange thing was that the fire was dark green, which looked a little weird.
Spirit Building’s gaze froze, slowly recording some information in the notebook in her hand.
Su Yang watched as she took down notes. When she was done and nodded at him, Su Yang threw the banknote that he had just drawn into the fire.
With a “Boom!”, green flames soared into the sky like how demons normally would.
At the same time, Su Yang heard a notification.
