Chapter 612
Wang Yifei Gets Beaten Up!! Wang Duoyu Becomes a Missing Person!
June 28, 2006, Harbin, the largest IMAX cinema in the city center, is hosting the mainland premiere of "Fast & Furious 3".
It has already been released overseas, and its box office performance has been reported by the media many times.
It's just that it hasn't been released in China yet, which is why it's been a bit late.
In the original timeline, 2006 was precisely the era of rampant piracy.
Whether it's music, movies, or anything else, piracy is rampant.
The early access version of "Fast & Furious 3" has probably already become very popular in mainland China.
However, in this era, domestic piracy has long been thoroughly cracked down on, so who would dare to act recklessly?
I'll punish you to death!
Wang Yifei returned to her home in Harbin yesterday, and slept in until late this morning before getting up.
After all, the premiere doesn't start until 2 PM, so it's still early.
"Sister Xiaoli, isn't Brother Dayu coming back today either?"
At the bathroom door, Wang Yifei, who had just gotten up, was about to go to the toilet when she suddenly remembered something and asked her mother, who was sitting in the living room.
She came home happily last night, only to find that her brother, Big Fish, wasn't home at all.
If I had known, she wouldn't have pulled that surprise attack. Now look what's happened, my good mood is completely ruined.
She wasn't in a good mood when her father wasn't home.
"He has to go to work, he's very busy, how would I know if he'll come back? You should ask him yourself."
Liu Xiaoli said without turning her head.
What did Wang Duoyu do?
Nonsense, we're on the moon right now, there's no time to answer the phone.
In recent times, or rather in the past few years, he has been researching the application of anti-gravity technology.
He had already perfected the theory of anti-gravity technology in the early 1990s, and subsequently established an anti-gravity engine research and development department.
However, these scientific research findings do not pose a significant problem in the cosmos.
But inside a planet, that won't work.
why?
It's very simple. The anti-gravity in the universe is very weak, while the anti-gravity within a planet requires more technical considerations.
On the other hand, Wang Duoyu was more focused on traveling to outer space and interstellar travel at the time.
But now he's thinking about advancing research on anti-gravity technologies for the interior of planets.
Because this thing can make a lot of money.
Today, the global aviation industry is dominated by jet aircraft, which rely on the high-speed airflow to generate reaction force and are extremely dependent on air.
However, anti-gravity technology aircraft, especially anti-gravity aircraft within a planet, are theoretically designed to be independent of air.
In other words, antigravity spacecraft thrive in the vacuum of space, but face numerous difficulties inside planets with air.
In simpler terms, it's an anti-gravity spacecraft that can be used inside a planet, and the technical difficulty is far greater than that of an anti-gravity spacecraft operating in a vacuum.
Therefore, it becomes clear why Wang Duoyu insisted on researching anti-gravity engines for use in spacecraft.
"Yes, install it according to this design drawing."
On the lunar surface, inside a temporary base, Wang Duoyu was speaking to the person in charge.
He now needs to build an anti-gravity engine laboratory.
This is an anti-gravity engine on the moon.
This is completely different from laboratories on Earth.
First, the gravity of the moon and the earth is completely different, and second, the moon has no air.
Finally, the lunar base project is already underway, and the future goal is to accelerate the construction of the lunar base.
Therefore, means of transportation on the lunar surface become very important.
Once the anti-gravity transportation vehicle on the moon is successfully developed, the rest will be much simpler.
On the other hand, the reason he accelerated the construction of the lunar base was actually to be able to conduct some experiments on the moon.
Today, Want Want Group possesses a controlled nuclear fusion device, which significantly reduces the travel time between the moon and Earth, and at a very low cost.
This makes it quite convenient for Wang Duoyu to now come to the moon.
After finishing his work, Wang Duoyu did not stay on the moon any longer, but took the interstellar bus back to the Ali Camp launch site on Earth.
After arriving on Earth, he will have to stay on the ground for a few days because his body needs to adjust after returning from a vacuum environment to an airy ground environment.
He received many calls and messages from Wang Yifei, and he responded with a video call.
It made her extremely happy.
"Big Fish, if you, this missing person, don't come back soon, I'm going to come looking for you with a kitchen knife!"
"Speak properly, what's wrong with you?"
"What else could it be? Big Fish, you don't know, do you? Hehe, the movie I starred in has already grossed 1.5 billion yuan at the box office in mainland China. Guess how many days it's been showing?"
Is that all?
"No, Brother Big Fish, your reaction is way too indifferent! I've achieved so much, aren't you happy at all?"
"Yes, I'm very happy, Sisi. Is there anything else?"
"Waaah~"
The next moment, Wang Yifei actually cried in front of him.
She used to be her father's darling, he spoiled her rotten. Now that she's an adult, her father has turned out like this.
Logically speaking, her father should have made a grand celebration for her eighteenth birthday last summer.
The outcome was very calm and low-key.
Because her father said at the time, "You're already a pop diva and you've even made it to Hollywood. Don't be too cocky. It'll be better for you to keep a low profile."
So her coming-of-age birthday party passed by uneventfully.
Needless to say, after that, it was as if her daughter had been picked up from a garbage dump and was not favored at all.
Wang Duoyu had a terrible headache; he was still resting and recovering at the Ali camp.
"Stop, Sisi, I really have something to do. Wait for me for two days, and we'll talk when I get back. I was worried you had something urgent when I called you on video now."
"Big Fish, I have something urgent to tell you. How long has it been since you saw your dear daughter? Also, Sister Xiaoli said you've been gone for over two months. You haven't been out fooling around, have you?"
The eldest daughter's words made Wang Duoyu's face darken:
"I think you're asking for a beating. Now you dare to joke around with me? You have no manners. You better go back to Harbin Institute of Technology in two days, or I'll definitely beat you up!"
Two days later, at the villa on the lakeside island of Harbin Institute of Technology in Harbin.
As soon as Wang Yifei entered the room, she saw her father take a feather duster and hit her on the buttocks.
"I'll teach you a lesson for your lack of manners!"
"Ah, Dad, please stop hitting me!"
She returned home happily, but unexpectedly, she was met with a beating from her father, a punishment aptly described as "bamboo whip stir-fry."
Pain!
I never imagined that her father's beatings would really hurt so much.
Bai Doufu clapped her hands in delight, because it was rare to see her older sister get beaten up. She just didn't know what her older sister had done to anger their father so much that he actually hit her.
That's so rare.
Liu Xiaoli, unusually, did not try to mediate the fight.
Because she could also tell that Wang Duoyu only hit her on the first hit, and probably didn't even use much force, yet Wang Yifei screamed so loudly and pitifully, which only shows that the child's acting skills were too superficial.
The house was in complete chaos, quite a lively scene.
In reality, Wang Duoyu was just chasing after her; the feather duster he was hitting never actually landed on Wang Yifei.
It's a classic case of all bark and no bite.
After the excitement subsided, the family finally sat down for a chat.
"Bai Doufu, you've finished your middle school entrance exam. How does it feel? Are you confident you'll be the top scorer?"
Wang Duoyu asked.
He also just got home today, only about ten minutes earlier than Wang Yifei.
"Of course! Do you even need to ask?"
White tofu said smugly:
“Last month, and the month before that, I outperformed her in mock exams. I’m sure I’ll be the top scorer in this year’s high school entrance exam.”
I wonder if Gong Yao would laugh if she heard this?
Why worry about a single gain or loss?
Life has so many hurdles to overcome.
After the middle school entrance exam comes the college entrance exam, after the college entrance exam comes university, and then there is an even more complex and ever-changing society. Which one isn't a hurdle?
Wang Duoyu nodded slightly:
"That's right, this might be your only chance to surpass her... but whether you succeed or fail, you need to stay calm."
"Because you're about to go to high school, and then you'll be a big kid..."
After chatting with her for a while, Wang Duoyu then turned his attention to the other children.
A house is lively with many children, but the amount of care he gives to each child will decrease.
In the past, Wang Duoyu would try to spend as much time as possible with his eldest son and the other older children.
However, he spends very little time with his two children, Wang Junxian and Wang Sixin.
Therefore, whenever he has free time, he will dedicate it to the two little ones.
On the contrary, he didn't spend as much time on Wang Yifei and the other children who had already grown up.
"Brother Big Fish, I want to have a talk with you."
At this moment, Wang Yifei grabbed her father and said expectantly.
"Alright, let's talk then."
The father and daughter didn't go anywhere else; they just chatted in the living room.
As children grow up, they have their own privacy, and Wang Duoyu doesn't really want to interfere. Firstly, he doesn't have that much time to take care of his children, and secondly, he doesn't want to.
Children are not their parents' puppets, so why worry so much?
As long as the child is not lazy, does not break the law or commit crimes, does not harm society, and does not become degenerate, then that's fine.
For example, Bai Doufu, it seems that Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli discipline her a lot, but in reality, they are just guiding her, not constantly disciplining her.
What Wang Yifei wanted to talk about was somewhat unexpected for Wang Duoyu, because she actually wanted to talk about Yao Jiahong.
Wang Duoyu didn't know much about the Yao family in San Francisco.
Admittedly, because of the super dollar factory, Want Want Group executives are very familiar with those dark forces involved in arms smuggling, mercenaries, and other shady dealings.
However, Want Want Group will not do business with human trafficking, drug lords or other powerful groups. Although the money in the Super Dollar Factory is not clean either, one must always adhere to principles.
Some money can be earned, and some money cannot.
Moreover, with such a huge gold mine as the Super Dollar Factory right under our noses, why would we need to dabble in illicit goods or blood-stained products?
Therefore, Wang Duoyu had only heard of the Yao family in San Francisco, but didn't know much about them.
The Yao family is already in the process of whitewashing their image. For example, Yao Jiahong did not stay in San Francisco but moved to Los Angeles to develop his career.
Once the Yao family has established themselves in Los Angeles, their business will gradually shift here, at which point they can completely clean up their act.
Wang Yifei's words clearly expressed her dislike for Yao Jiahong, because the latter had been harassing her for some time.
For example, waiting for her to get off work outside the photography studio with 9,999 roses.
There was also the fact that he spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy watermelons, milk tea, barbecue, and other things to treat the cast and crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean," including Wang Yifei, to meals.
In short, he is extremely annoying.
"Well, since this person is so annoying, I'll make arrangements to have someone deliver a message to him."
After listening, Wang Duoyu also had some reservations.
My lady, my gentleman is good.
Yao Jiahong's methods of expressing his love were perfectly acceptable; they were very clever. However, unfortunately, Wang Yifei did not like them.
Moreover, Yao Jiahong himself is not exactly clean, so this person shouldn't even think about getting close to his daughter.
"Big Fish, you don't need to do anything. Auntie will teach him a lesson."
Wang Yifei chuckled at this moment:
"I just wanted to tell you what I've been up to lately. Besides this annoying person, I've also completed several investments, for example..."
Seeing her talking about her investments in such detail, like a little money-grubber, Wang Duoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Stop immediately:
"Okay, I got it. This is home, so let's not talk about work. I get a headache just hearing about it."
Before Wang Yifei, who was pouting and very angry, could speak, her younger brother Wang Junxian suddenly interrupted:
"Dad, I want to invest too, I want to make money too!"
The unhealthy trend of "making money" in the family was started by Wang Yifei. For example, Bai Doufu is now heading in the direction of making money.
It's true that it's a good thing for children to learn about investing early on. In fact, when Wang Junhong and Wang Junan were young, their father, Wang Duoyu, even encouraged them to "make money."
However, the situation at home is completely different now.
The two younger children don't seem to have much interest in academics.
Compared to Wang Yifei and the others, Wang Junxian and Wang Sixin seem to be lazier.
"Okay, so you want to make money too, right?"
Wang Duoyu had an idea and asked with a smile.
Now, Wang Junxian, Wang Sixin, and even the little girl Wang Ruoxi all came over, expressing their desire to make money.
Wang Ruoxi, born in June 2002, is now four years old. Time flies!
"Okay, okay, no problem." Wang Duoyu laughed, then suddenly turned his gaze to Wang Jun'an, who was holding up a camera.
"Here, take this video as proof. For every like, I'll give you one dollar. This is for a three-day period. I'll pay you whatever number of likes I get by then. This will be the cost of the investment. I'll also tell you what projects you should invest in. How about it?"
Wow!
The little guy immediately cheered with joy.
This is definitely a good thing, and even Wang Yifei and the Bai Tofu sisters are clamoring to get involved. (End of Chapter)
