Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: My Wife's Worry

[Ding, your income today is two thousand yuan.]

[Do you want to enable random multiplication?]

"Enable"

On the way to pick up his wife, this golden finger did not disappoint. The moment Chen Pingsheng received the two thousand yuan payment, a line of golden text appeared before him.

It was those two gleaming golden dice again. Chen Pingsheng was still fantasizing about rolling two fives at the same time.

That would be ten times the amount, directly close to twenty thousand yuan.

The first die stopped. Instead of a five, it showed a four.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. Good luck.

The second die also stopped. It was a middle number, three.

Also not a small number.

[Congratulations Host, you have received a random seven times increase]

[Your Alipay account has received fourteen thousand yuan, balance fourteen thousand five hundred yuan.]

Tsk... his shoulders had to shake three times.

Nothing else, it was purely because he was happy.

At this rate of income, it wouldn't be long before he could buy a house.

By then, he could do whatever he wanted with his wife, and on ordinary days, he could lie on the small balcony. Life would be incredibly comfortable.

His wife's side still didn't have any particularly major issues. It was just that their company completed Series D financing this year.

After this financing round, their valuation soared to eight hundred million.

In 2012, the internet was still dominated by BAT, and the development of these internet companies was truly fast.

Just like his wife's company, it had only been established for a few years, and not only had it not made a single penny, but it was losing money every month.

Despite this, the company's valuation kept getting higher.

He heard that this time, a famous major capital from China was among the lead investors.

It seemed they were quite optimistic about their company's development.

All of this had nothing to do with him; he was just sighing at how fast these internet companies were developing.

If it were a brick-and-mortar business, when would it ever make hundreds of millions?

Here, the valuation was casually pushed up.

After completing this financing, his wife's company also grew larger. They planned to move the company to Zhongguancun, Beijing's famous internet entrepreneurship town, after the New Year.

This was also in preparation for future development and financing.

There would also be a large annual meeting before the New Year, which he could also attend.

Just sitting in the back with his wife, Chen Pingsheng thought it would be good to go and broaden his horizons.

He couldn't possibly spend his whole life just thinking about selling durian on the street, right?

Song Yanxi came out, still dressed simply, her hair tied in a casual low ponytail.

And wearing a thick black cotton coat.

She was also about to go on holiday soon. They were both spending the New Year in Beijing this year. When she left, Du Juan also asked her to go shopping together after the holiday.

To buy New Year goods.

Song Yanxi originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Pingsheng accepted for her. The main reason was that he felt he could earn a good amount of money now.

There was no need to stretch every yuan like before.

Save where you can, but spend where you should.

"Then it's settled. We'll go shopping in Sanlitun after the holiday."

Du Juan's family background was indeed good. As soon as she started working, her family provided her with a Honda car worth over one hundred thousand yuan.

Born in Beijing, the word 'demolish' stamped on your door guaranteed you started ahead of the curve.

After Song Yanxi agreed with her, she went home.

When he got home, he found that Zhao Liying, the extra from next door, was also back, practicing her acting skills alone while holding a copy of 'An Actor's Self-Cultivation'.

Yesterday, Song Yanxi knew that a young girl, an actress, had moved in next door.

She only met her today, so naturally, she had to greet her.

"You must be Liying. My Husband mentioned you yesterday. You're truly beautiful."

Zhao Liying was indeed very beautiful. Her features were exquisite, and what was most striking was her bright smile, like a warm sun in winter.

It was very comfortable to look at.

"Sister-in-law."

Zhao Liying smiled brightly, very affectionately.

The two hit it off on their first meeting. Song Yanxi even invited her over for dinner.

Xiao Anan was usually home alone. If both parents went to work, it would be good to have one more person to look after her.

Chen Pingsheng's cooking skills had improved greatly over the years. Although he hadn't studied professionally, he could cook a mean dish.

Since the two women got along well, it was natural for him to do the cooking.

Ordinary people often have some longing for the Entertainment Circle, and Song Yanxi was no exception.

Like a curious baby, she asked questions about everything.

Zhao Liying patiently explained everything to her.

"Sister-in-law, it's true that you can make a lot of money in the Entertainment Circle, but to become famous... If you can only be an extra like me, the income is just average."

After a pause, she added, "But Chen Ge is amazing. He went to be an extra for the first time today, and our assistant director was very impressed with him. He even left him his number before leaving."

As if afraid she wouldn't understand the meaning, Zhao Liying specifically explained, "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate a director leaving his number. There must be tens of thousands, if not eighty thousand, extras like us in Hengdian."

"To be valued by a director the first time you go as an extra, like Chen Ge, is absolutely one in ten thousand."

"He can act?"

Song Yanxi was completely surprised. She glanced sideways at the busy figure in the kitchen and asked curiously, "What did he act in?"

"Didn't Chen Ge tell you?"

Zhao Liying said, "He went to be a protagonist's double this time. Chen Ge is especially capable of enduring hardship. No one in our crew could stand that zero-degree water temperature, but he said he would jump and jumped. He endured the freezing cold and stayed in the lake for a whole day."

Song Yanxi's expression changed. She understood. It turned out he wasn't going to act at all; they were looking for him precisely because others couldn't do it.

To put it bluntly, staying in a lake at that temperature for a day, if you caught a cold or fever,

That little money wouldn't even be enough for the hospital.

With an outsider present, Song Yanxi couldn't say much, but her heart ached.

Over the years, he had done more than just one or two dangerous jobs to earn money.

What she feared most was a time during heavy rain when no one dared to deliver goods into the mountains, afraid of a landslide burying them alive.

But he dared.

He delivered once, twice, three times, and then a landslide really happened.

Chen Pingsheng had a big life; the car only flipped over and he wasn't seriously injured.

It was after that incident that Song Yanxi strictly forbade him from running deliveries. Later, he bought a tricycle and sold durian everywhere.

She didn't expect him to be doing these dangerous jobs again now.

"Liying, your Chen Ge is willing to do any job to earn money. In the future, if there are any more extra jobs, try to introduce him to easier ones. It's okay if the pay is a little less."

Zhao Liying was slightly stunned, but she understood her thoughts.

It was just a wife worrying about her Husband.

"Dinner's ready! What were you two talking about, so engrossed!"

Chen Pingsheng made three dishes and one soup, which was definitely a hearty dinner for his family.

Of course, they didn't know that this little extra girl before them would become a pillar of the Entertainment Circle in the future.

A unique existence like a queen.

For now, they just felt that she also had it particularly tough.

It had been a long time since someone invited her for a meal. Zhao Liying ate simply and smiled very sincerely.

As soon as she left, Song Yanxi immediately pulled Chen Pingsheng into the room.
