Chapter 7
You Have to Wait for Me to Come of Age
The incessant chirping of cicadas outside the window in the early morning was quite annoying.
Su Yu took a deep breath and reached for the bedside table, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything and was completely dumbfounded.
Damn it, I almost forgot I've been reborn. I kept my phone and everything under my pillow.
I glanced at the time and prepared for today's shooting assignment.
Su Yu first washed up and tidied up his things, then took the steamed buns that Li Yang handed him, and then went to the park.
Upon arriving at the park entrance, he immediately spotted Liu Yifei.
She was wearing a pink dress today, her long hair cascading down to her waist, and her eyes were clear and bright. She was standing there, bending over, watching the ants moving their nests on the ground.
He would also poke it with a small stick from time to time.
This pose made her slender arms stretch out straight, and although only her profile was visible, she still exuded an ethereal beauty.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm watching ants attack this centipede."
Liu Yifei looked up at him and pointed her slender finger at the pile of things on the ground.
Su Yu walked over and squatted down to start his own ant-centipede battle scene until the centipede, which had already been stepped on, was lifted away. Only then did the two begin their filming for the day.
Then, Liu Yifei opened her small bag, took out a patent application form, and handed it to him.
"for you!"
To be honest, Su Yu himself was a little embarrassed.
He's sixty years old across two lifetimes, and yet he still needs help from a fairy who's not even 15. How could he possibly feel comfortable doing that?
However, the fact that Liu Yifei took it out immediately, without even waiting for him to ask, shows that she had been keeping this matter in mind all along.
This is quite touching.
Su Yu held the patent application in her hand, glanced at the last column where her father had signed his name, and still felt it was a little unreal.
Just standing there, he grabbed her leg?
He still remembers when he first entered the entertainment industry, he took on roles everywhere to help Lao Su pay off his debts, and he was scolded a lot. Although they were all adults, it was a very unpleasant experience.
Thanks.
"Of course."
"Um... how about we hear a few short stories today?"
"Three!"
As expected, the celestial being still loved gossip. Su Yu carefully put away the patent application and checked it every few days; only then could he feel at ease.
He originally wanted to ask Liu Xiaoli what she had said to the An family, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided against it, because he felt that the question was completely unnecessary.
They're just getting a divorce.
Besides, with such a beautiful daughter as Liu Yifei, I doubt many people would have the heart to cut ties...
Oh well, as long as I get the patent application, that's fine.
However, it must be said that the fairy is quite clever; she actually kept the patent application in her hand and then exchanged it with herself for some juicy gossip.
He plans to first obtain a patent for the universal charger, find manufacturers and distributors within three months, and then officially start production.
We aim to acquire the audio-visual rights to "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" before next year, and get into the theater chain before the reform documents are released.
At that time, the "big father" of the Chinese entertainment industry will officially go online.
"Weren't the materials supposed to be submitted in a week? Why so quickly this time?"
"I urged them," Liu Yifei said, raising her chin slightly.
Su Yu had only asked casually, but he was stunned by the answer. Then he raised an eyebrow and asked, "You urged me? How did you urge me?"
Liu Yifei said proudly, "I told my dad that I have an older friend and I want to ask him for help."
"And then he agreed?"
"Hmm... If he doesn't agree, I'll just ignore him."
Liu Yifei's expression was arrogant, as if she felt there was nothing wrong with what she was doing, but that in itself was the biggest problem.
Su Yu was genuinely at a loss.
What kind of friend would let their daughter threaten them, saying they'd cut off all contact if they didn't help?
The key issue is that he and Liu Yifei are really not familiar with each other; they've only known each other for less than half a month in total.
Although we take photos together every day and occasionally share some dramatic stories, we can only be considered friends at most.
Su Yu thought for a moment. If his daughter dared to talk to him like that, then he would have to get to know that blond-haired kid.
Similarly...
Su Yu remained silent for a few seconds, feeling that the matter was becoming tricky, even though he hadn't done anything.
He's really short on money right now and really wants to curry favor with powerful people. He doesn't care about the universal charger, it's too hot to handle, but he definitely doesn't want to become a rich kid.
"Do you have any other questions?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.
"I'm fine with it, but I'm worried your dad might have a problem after hearing it."
Liu Yifei shook her head. "No, I already told him not to let him bother you."
Su Yu felt even more numb after hearing this. "Why do I feel like I'm going to die even more miserably after you emphasize this?"
"So, are you going to use it or not?"
"Of course we should use it."
"That's settled then, it's just helping out," Liu Yifei said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu fell silent.
At this moment, it felt like there was a little voice inside him, constantly urging him not to ask so many questions, since he already had the patent application.
Isn't that just how the world is?
The so-called bottom line is nothing more than an excuse for not having enough benefits; it is utterly worthless in this world.
Besides, Liu Yifei is practically begging to help you; she's a celestial being! What are you still hesitating about?
Su Yu convinced himself in just a few seconds, took a deep breath, and emphasized the importance of the matter to Liu Yifei.
Because Liu Yifei had no idea what a patent application represented, she only had a general idea, but Su Yu felt that since she had chosen to help, she had the right to know the background and consequences.
But then again, what exactly is this celestial being thinking?
Does she really consider me a friend?
After Su Yu explained the entire patent application process, he casually mentioned why he sought help from the An family, but Liu Yifei didn't seem to care at all.
The so-called exchange of benefits is completely unimportant to her.
After explaining, Su Yu stood aside in silence, feeling that his experiences during this period were more absurd than the rebirth itself.
What does she want from me?
Could it be that she was also reborn at the same time, or does she have some kind of system cheat?
It can't be because I'm old and don't shower, right...?
Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
Just then, Liu Yifei suddenly handed him a piece of chocolate, tilting her chin up as she looked at him, as if she had something to say.
Su Yu snapped out of his reverie. "Want to hear more stories?"
"Okay, give me your phone number so I can keep listening when I go to America." Liu Yifei nodded.
"?"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of operation this was.
But then, he seemed to discover a blind spot—was Liu Yifei doing this just to listen to gossip?
But why did she insist on looking for me?
Su Yu fell into a mental trap again. He turned to look at Liu Yifei, who was staring intently at his profile, and thought he might have figured it out.
Is she not only very curious, but also a sucker for good looks?
The celestial beauty clearly came for me!
"Phone number...you're not going to have a long phone conversation with me, are you?"
"Not right now. My mom says I'm too young to make friends. Can you wait a few years?"
"???"
