Chapter 54 Challenge 2
Around 9:30.
Huang Min took a taxi driven by Uncle Zheng back home.
When Huang Min opened the living room door, he saw a girl about the same age as his sister coming out of his bathroom, holding a white towel and drying her hair.
"Who are you……"
Huang Min asked in confusion.
"elder brother"
Huang Yun's voice came from the bathroom: "This is my roommate Xu Li. School won't let us stay in the dorms after summer vacation, so I invited her to work at our place. She doesn't want to go back this summer, so we can work together."
As she spoke, Huang Yun emerged from the bathroom.
"fine"
Huang Min nodded and said to Xu Li with a smile, "Then you can stay at my house."
Huang Min couldn't quite understand the friendship between his younger sister, whose hair was still wet. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower. Two twenty-year-old girls taking a shower together... He would never shower with a man if it were him!
"Brother Huang Min, you're much more handsome than you look on TV!"
Xu Li said with a smile.
"If you think he's handsome, then get to know my brother better. I've told you before, don't worry about the age difference. Even though my brother is quite a bit older than you, the older he is, the more caring he will be."
Huang Yun put her arm around Xu Li's shoulder and said, "Brother, what do you think of my roommate? Isn't she incredibly 'beautiful'? Since she'll be staying at our place for the next two months, you should make a good impression and try to win her over. She's never been in a relationship before!"
"What you're saying sounds exactly like what you've discussed before."
Xu Li quickly replied.
Then the two twenty-year-old girls started playfully fighting in Huang Min's living room. It was obvious that Huang Yun was stronger. This girl pinned Xu Li down on the sofa and shouted at Huang Min, "Brother, come and give me a kiss. It's not easy for a little white rabbit to come to your door, you have to cherish this opportunity."
"hehe"
Huang Min chuckled twice.
He went to the balcony to get his clothes and then went into the bathroom. After the bathroom door closed, Huang Min could still hear the laughter of two girls coming from the living room.
After taking a shower, Huang Min saw his younger sister sitting on the sofa with a girl named Xu Li, watching a TV series. After thinking for a moment, Huang Min reminded her, "I don't care what summer jobs you guys do, but you're not allowed to be models."
"Don't worry, bro, we've found jobs tutoring middle school students one-on-one."
Huang Yun replied, "We're home today, so we found two places in the neighborhood. We'll start tomorrow morning, it'll be fifty yuan an hour."
As she spoke, Huang Yun turned to Huang Min and smiled, "Six hours a day, that's three hundred yuan. Let's look again tonight, we should have more. In two months, we might be able to earn twenty thousand, and then I'll buy you new clothes."
"Then I'll wait."
Huang Min smiled and responded.
"Bro, is filming for 'The Terror Live' finished yet!?"
Huang Yun asked.
"Killed in the afternoon"
Huang Min replied, "You guys see! I'm going to get busy now."
Although filming for "The Terror Live" has wrapped, Huang Min still has a lot of work to do. The film needs post-production work, but fortunately, he filmed it basically according to the theatrical version, so the time will be short. A couple of days ago, Su Qing helped him reach a rental agreement with a film post-production editing company, and he can just bring his things and go there tomorrow morning.
As long as we can find a distributor, we can definitely make it to the August 1st release date.
As Huang Min brewed a cup of tea and carried it into his study, he could still hear his sister saying to Xu Li, "My brother's movie is about to be released. If he succeeds, he'll be a big director! Don't you have any ideas?! This is a golden opportunity!"
Huang Min gave a wry smile.
My younger sister... she really thinks about me, her older brother.
However, his current reputation is mainly due to his bankruptcy, which has been a hot topic more than once. A bad reputation is not scary; what is scary is bankruptcy. Moreover, Xu Li and his sister were roommates in school, so she might know that he mortgaged the house to the bank to get money to make movies.
In this situation, as long as the girl isn't stupid, she'll know what to do.
Just like that counselor named An He from last time.
Women nowadays are very realistic, and what men should do is not think about romance when they are poor, and even less so when they are rich, because there is no need for it anymore.
Huang Min put the water glass down on his desk, opened his laptop, opened a file, and started typing. Knowing that he was busy working, Huang Yun turned the TV volume down very low and spoke to the girl named Xu Li in a very low voice.
Huang Min didn't close his computer and leave the study until 11:30. The living room lights were already off, with only the television screen emitting light.
"Brother, are you done with your work?"
Huang Yun looked up from the sofa and pointed to the living room table: "I made you an apple platter. Eat something before you go to sleep. Sleeping on an empty stomach is bad for your health. Xu Li and I have already tidied up the bathroom."
"You should all go to bed early too."
After eating a few pieces of apple, Huang Min went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. When he came out, he said something to the two girls who were still lying on the sofa, and then went into his room.
"Your brother is actually quite mild-mannered, not at all like the reports online."
Behind them, Xu Li could be heard whispering to her younger sister.
"It was fine to begin with."
Huang Yun replied, "It's precisely because he's too good that he's been attacked by so many people and slandered by my sister-in-law. If he were any worse, my sister-in-law definitely wouldn't dare."
After saying that, Huang Yun added, "Good people never have good things to do. There's a saying: 'A rope always breaks at its weakest point, misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate, when it rains, it pours, and when the boat is broken, it encounters a headwind.'"
"Huang Yun, your words are quite profound."
Huang Min's laughter rang out.
"Go to sleep now."
Huang Yun replied, "What I said is true. My brother and I have suffered so much in the past. You finally made it and got married, only to meet a woman like my sister-in-law. Anyway, brother, you can make movies, and it's good if you make money, but if you lose money, you can't do anything drastic. If you really abandon your sister, I'll be in so much trouble. Our parents left early, and my older brother even committed suicide. I'm only twenty years old. I've already been through enough, and I don't want to go through anything else."
"I think you might need to look at the reasons within yourself. Is it possible that you have the character '克' (ke, meaning 'counteracting' or 'harming') in your destiny?"
"roll"
Huang Yun angrily cursed, "If I'm going to curse someone, it'll be those who deliberately make things difficult for us. I won't curse anyone who's good to us. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's not like we siblings haven't lived in that small house before."
"It will only get bigger and bigger."
Huang Min replied.
The next morning, filming for "The Terror Live" was completed. Originally, Huang Min didn't need to get up so early anymore, but perhaps his biological clock had been set to 5:30 during this period, so he naturally woke up at that time. Huang Min didn't continue to stay up late.
After getting up and quickly washing up, I went out for physical training.
As the city lights spread across the sky, he returned home, drenched in sweat. After a quick shower, he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He knocked lightly on the bedroom door a few times, but there was no response. Huang Min knew that his sister and Xu Li must have stayed up too late watching dramas last night and were still asleep.
Huang Min ignored the two of them and drove himself to the post-production editing studio that Su Qing had rented for him after breakfast. At noon, Huang Min ordered takeout for himself on his phone and ate it in the editing studio.
Around 4 PM.
Su Qing appeared: "I made an appointment with a senior executive of a publishing company, and they agreed to meet tonight."
He patted the bag he was carrying and said, "Here's a suit. Dress formally; we're asking for a favor, so we should try to make a good impression."
