Chapter 211 So delicious
Chapter 211 So delicious
Xu Youyou thought to herself that perhaps only if one has been surrounded by love since childhood and has a very low cost of trial and error in life, could one face the arrival of setbacks with such ease as he did.
Lu Jingyao suddenly said, "Next time you encounter something unpalatable like this, don't force yourself to eat it."
Xu Youyou's jealousy turned into guilt. She nodded casually and said, "No one is good at everything, and you don't need to compete with yourself."
Lu Jingyao didn't say he would give up cooking. He just said, "Let me practice for a while. I will definitely be able to make food that will satisfy you."
Xu Youyou thought of his advanced understanding and was reserved about this statement.
But the breakfast incident was finally dealt with. However, during dinner, Dean He couldn't help but mutter a few words at the table: "It's New Year's Day, why are the chickens in the backyard so listless? Did those little rascals go and bully them again?"
Xu Youyou was busy eating and didn't dare to tell the truth at all.
For others, there are endless relatives and friends to visit during the Chinese New Year, but Xu Youyou has all her local relatives and friends by her side. Except for accompanying the Lu family to climb Mount Huangshan, she did not feel any pressure during this Chinese New Year. She felt at ease as if she had been lying at home for a few days.
It was a rare occasion that Lu Jingyao turned down all his tasks and just stayed with her to slack off until the seventh day of the New Year. Even Assistant Liu had to return to Shanghai early for business, and Lu's parents also set off for Suzhou on the fourth day of the New Year.
Qing Yatou came over early that day and asked, "Sister Youyou, are you free tonight? I bought a barbecue grill and want to treat you guys to barbecue."
Xu Youyou agreed immediately. Because of the auditions, she had been online quite a bit. With a thought in her mind, she said, "It seems the filming crew sent by the company has already arrived. Remember to have them film this barbecue. It can also be considered as accumulating footage."
Xu Youyou then asked Lu Jingyao who was standing beside her: "If you don't want to be on camera, I'll ask the photographer to be careful when taking the photo."
Lu Jingyao shook his head and asked, "Am I too embarrassed to be seen?"
Xu Youyou didn't understand the man's desire to assert his position as the first wife. Instead, she was puzzled: "As the great CEO Lu, don't you feel that you have lowered your status by appearing in the camera of a small blogger?"
After all, this is Qing Yatou’s first self-media video. Even if money is spent, ordinary internet celebrities may not be willing to come. After all, no one is willing to share their traffic with their peers.
Therefore, Xu Youyou instinctively thought that Lu Jingyao was also unwilling.
Lu Jingyao patted his girlfriend's head gently: "I don't rely on traffic to make a living."
Xu Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs, and she said playfully, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for supporting my small business!"
She quickly contacted Xie Ran again, and as soon as the call was connected, she immediately said, "Remember to catch this overwhelming wealth!"
The richest man has personally joined the game, so Xu Youyou doesn’t have to think about what kind of heated discussion this will cause on the Internet.
The Internet can make a person famous overnight, but it is also possible that they will lose their wealth after becoming famous because they cannot handle the traffic. Xu Youyou communicated with Xie Ran in advance so that Xie Ran could do the finishing work.
Xie Ran on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Don't worry, boss, I have another piece of good news to tell you."
"Xiao Song's TV series has achieved remarkable success overseas, and some major foreign production companies have already wanted to purchase the overseas adaptation rights."
Xu Youyou was stunned when she heard this. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for TV dramas to be exported overseas, but only if the performance overseas is exceptionally good will the overseas adaptation rights be purchased.
"Foreigners already love martial arts films, and the TV series became an instant hit once it launched on Netflix. In just a few months, it brought our company $50 million in royalties."
Xu Youyou was surprised. Fifty million US dollars, more than three hundred million RMB! It was almost catching up with the revenue of this TV series in China.
She knew that the scripts produced by the system must be excellent, but she didn't expect it to bring such huge returns. It has only been a few months, and it can be imagined that it will remain popular in the next two to three years, and will only make more money in the future.
"There's also a foreign game company asking for pricing. They want to adapt the TV series into a game. Boss, do you plan to work with Mr. Lu, or look for an excellent game production team around the world? I asked Peter for you, but he's busy running Peak Showdown and doesn't have the energy to develop a new game."
Listening to Xie Ran's words, Xu Youyou couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Lu Jingyao owns a gaming company, which is also one of the two top gaming companies in China. If we are looking for a domestic cooperation team, Lu Jingyao will be the best choice.
But is it really okay to get emotional when talking about money?
However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment, and Xu Youyou couldn't help feeling guilty again. After all, it seemed that in all the financial dealings between her and Lu Jingyao, Lu Jingyao was the one who used his feelings to hurt his money.
She just mentioned this matter to Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao immediately said, "Don't rush to make a decision. I'll talk to Assistant Liu and have him provide you with a professional plan. You can have Xie Ran compare the plans with those of foreign game companies and choose the best one."
Xu Youyou thought to herself that Lu Jingyao was always so considerate and didn't want to put her in a difficult position, which made her seem petty.
"Do you think I'm not frank enough?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao said, "Business is business, and feelings are feelings. This is your company's most successful IP. You can't afford to make any mistakes. You can't be too cautious."
The last trace of guilt in Xu Youyou's heart disappeared without a trace under Lu Jingyao's comfort.
Qing Yatou's house has not been renovated yet, but she is not a lazy person. She used the salary that Xu Youyou paid in advance to buy a lot of tools. Now she doesn't have to hide, and she can tidy up the yard during the day during the New Year.
Although the house is still dilapidated, the ground in the yard is much flatter and looks quite pastoral.
As soon as she entered the door, Xu Youyou smelled an extremely pleasant scent.
Different from the heavy cumin flavor in other barbecue restaurants, this aroma seems to be the pure food aroma, mixed with a hint of sweetness, which makes people salivate at the sight.
"Sister Youyou, I just grilled this. Anyway, my grandfather likes the barbecue I make, so I think it should taste good." Qing Yatou handed Xu Youyou a skewer of grilled beef.
Xu Youyou glanced at the camera that was filming nearby, thinking that even if the barbecue didn't taste good, she would try her best to make it look delicious.
She had experienced Lu Jingyao's dark cuisine and didn't have high expectations for Qing Yatou's cooking skills. However, she didn't expect that as soon as the food entered her mouth, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
This is sooooo delicious!
