Chapter 162 Xia Shumin and Zhou Wan

   "Show you my humble house."

   "Humble house?"

  Chen Ji's distinctive adjectives aroused Xia Shumin's curiosity, and followed him to the old residential area, up to the sixth floor.

  The old stairs along the way, as well as the novel modern buildings, made Xia Shumin quite curious.

  Plus, after visiting the bustling commercial street, she returned to the quiet community, and was about to go to his house under the leadership of the young master.

  Let Xia Shumin feel relaxed and comfortable:

  She is also someone who has visited the fairyland of the earth~.

   "Yes, humble...she!"

  Chen Ji opened the door, smiled and showed Zhao Guojun's housekeeper daughter the two-bedroom apartment he rented for six thousand a month.

  Xia Shumin stood at the door, looked left, right, at him, and then at the house. After a long time, he burst out laughing.

  She covered her small mouth with a handkerchief, giggling, her two slender eyebrows were curved, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

   "It really is a humble house, right?"

  Chen Ji led her in, and said with a smile, "Does the immortal Mr. Chen feel like his dream is broken?"

  As an immortal in the world of martial arts and the creator of Shenen Continent, Chen Ji is also very helpless to live in this kind of place.

  But there is no way. As a social animal, even a social animal who graduated from 985 University, it is very difficult to buy a house of your own in Haicheng, where land is expensive.

   Don't look at this place as old and small, but six thousand yuan a month is not a lot of rent.

   "There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, which shelters the world's poor and happy~~"

  Xia Shumin recited Du Zimei's poem, covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Young master hides in the city, how can ordinary people like a little girl measure it?"

  When the little lady recites poems, she has a particularly beautiful rhythm.

  Chen Ji stretched out his finger and tapped her smooth forehead.

The little lady ran away with a smile on her face, walked cheerfully around the two rooms and the balcony, was very curious about his residence, went to the kitchen to ask what the furniture was, guessed what the young master usually eats from the things in the refrigerator, etc. .

  She was not disappointed at all, as if no matter whether Chen Ji was an ordinary person or a fairy, she was at ease.

   Xia Shumin suddenly became cautious only when he opened the closet in the next room and saw the girl's clothes inside.

   "Gong, son."

  She asked cautiously, "Is this my sister's room?"

"elder sister?"

  Chen Ji didn't realize it for a moment, "No, I'm the only child in my family."

   "Uh, what the little girl is asking about is... the room of the old lady."

  She asked in a very low voice, her expression becoming more restrained.

   "Big woman..."

  Mu Xiaoxiao's figure appeared in Chen Ji's mind.

  She is the wife of the Chen family, wearing a red wedding dress, looking shy...

  Ahem, it's impossible!

  The dignified empress couldn't be shy, at most she blushed and turned her head away awkwardly.

   "Master?"

  Xia Shumin asked again in a low voice.

  Chen Ji smiled and said, "What if I say it's a big woman?"

Xia Shumin turned her head away, like an angry little daughter-in-law, sobbing bitterly and said: "If the son has a wife... the little girl can only be a little girl, serving the old lady at home, serving tea and water for the old lady, and serving the old lady Boil water for cooking... ah!"

  Chen Ji hugged her, and said softly: "I'm just joking, there are no big women, my Shu Min is a big woman... No, no, my son, I mean, Shu Min doesn't need to serve anyone!"

  Who would be willing to be wronged by such a well-behaved lady?

   "Master..."

Xia Shumin raised her head in his arms, looked at him shyly, then lowered her head again: "Master, Shumin knew that he was wrong... Shumin was joking with you just now, how could Shumin not believe that you are a man? Shumin has already I know that the son has not married a wife yet."

   "Meaning, I got scammed?"

   "I'm sorry, son."

  Chen Ji couldn't help laughing, rubbed her little face, and said: "Shu Min don't always apologize in the future, it's just a joke."

"Um."

  Xia Shumin nodded obediently, leaned into his arms, and hugged him shyly.

   This time it was a rare moment for the two to embrace each other. Before Chen Ji hugged her, she was so ashamed that her petite body kept trembling.

   Now she can hug him quietly in Chen Ji's arms.

  Chen Ji hugged the little lady contentedly for a while, and then said: "Are you hungry? Let's go to eat. While eating, I will tell you who lived in this room before."

   "Hmm... son, shall we go to a restaurant to eat?"

"right."

   "Don't you have a kitchen in your house?"

  Xia Shumin suggested in a low voice: "I just saw a place selling vegetables outside, why don't we go shopping together and come back and cook by ourselves."

   "As a young lady, Shu Min can cook by herself?"

   "Master, I'm so sensitive to reading books~"

  She showed a smug expression, which made Chen Ji laugh.

  Unfortunately, it is too late tonight, the vegetable market is closed, and it is troublesome to go to the supermarket to buy and cook.

  So Chen Ji still took her to have a barbecue.

There is one more advantage of eating barbecue in modern society than in the ancient world, that is, there are various ingredients, sprinkled with cumin, and the barbecue emits a seductive aroma, which makes the little ladies from ancient times eat oily mouths and eyebrows. The crescent moon is very cute.

  Chen Ji told her about the other three worlds while grilling meat for her.

  After listening to Xia Shumin, she said obediently: "My lord, Shumin will get along well with them... Whenever they are free, Shumin will meet them."

  She has put herself as the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, which makes people feel distressed.

  Chen Ji said: "The horoscope has not yet been revealed, and these things will be discussed later, but don't worry, they are all very good people. I will take you to other worlds for a tour in the future, as a tour."

"Um."

  Xia Shumin smiled, "Young master is not an ordinary person...Young master likes to live in old houses?"

  Chen Ji stuffed a piece of barbecue meat into her little mouth, and said, "I'll buy a house when I make money, son, buy a house and keep a house!"

   "Hee hee, when the young master buys a house... what kind of house does the young master want to buy?"

  Xia Shumin changed his mouth.

  Chen Ji glanced at her and said, "When I bought the house, I called you as a consultant. After all, the hostess will also live in it in the future."

  Xia Shumin's little face blushed, he faltered, and then nodded shyly after a long while.

   I was quite excited.

  Mistress…

  In the future, she will also live in the big house bought by the son, I don't know...

   "When will the young master make money?"

  She suddenly thought of this matter again, and said in a low voice: "Shu Min still has more than a thousand taels of private money, if it is not enough, you can take it."

  Chen Ji rubbed her little head, "Don't worry about making money, you can earn a big house soon."

"but."

   After a pause, Chen Ji said regretfully: "It's not easy to buy a house similar to yours in Hongye Mountain. Even if you have money, you can't buy it here."

"whee."

Xia Shumin covered her small mouth and snickered, with a smile in her eyes, looked at Chen Ji, and said softly: "Shumin saw...there are so many people on the earth, and the city is crowded with people. I don't think there are so many places to build houses. My son Please don't worry, Shumin can live anywhere~."

  Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, she doesn't have so many demands, she just needs to be by the son's side.

  Chen Ji can't wait to buy a large flat + big villa now, so that the well-behaved, sensible and lovable little lady can live in it!

  Unfortunately, due to limited conditions, we can only let her live in the old house tonight. Chen Ji let her live in his room, and he will spend the night on the sofa.

   But looking at the little lady's expression, she felt shyly excited about being able to sleep in his room.

  In her words:

   "Shu Min and Young Master are not yet married, so sleeping on Young Master's bed is certainly not in accordance with etiquette, but his family is 'poor', so he doesn't care about so much etiquette."

  After she finished speaking, she lay down on Chen Ji's bed with peace of mind, hugged his quilt, and smiled at him with bright eyes.

  Chen Ji rubbed her face hard, and will earn money to buy a big house tomorrow!

  The little lady was trembling with laughter on his bed.

  When going to bed at night, Xia Shumin didn't close the door.

  She also only took off two outer clothes, and she almost slept with her clothes on.

  When Chen Ji woke up the next day, he entered his room and smelled the orchid scent that belonged to the little lady.

  After being slept by a little lady for one night, his bed has become a treasure that is hard to find in the world.

  The bed is full of fragrance.

   After breakfast, Chen Ji originally wanted to take her to have a good time, and almost sent her home in the evening.

   As a result, after Huang Hao called to ask about his work, Xia Shumin changed his mind and urged him:

   "Master, let's get busy with work, you can play at any time."

  A well-behaved little daughter-in-law who is afraid that her husband will indulge in love between men and women.

  Chen Ji sighed, and asked her: "Why don't Shumin come with me to the company? I wrote a game about Zhao Guo Jianghu, and I'll tell you about the Dream of Red Mansions by the way."

   "The game of Zhao Guojianghu...?"

  Xia Shumin couldn't figure out how the two were connected.

  But she was very curious, so she agreed and went to the company with Chen Ji.

  She was still wearing the emerald green skirt. When she appeared in the company, she immediately attracted the attention of the employees.

   "What a cool coser, boss, is this a game promotional photo?"

   Tian Jianming, who is in charge of the game operation, saw his eyes brighten. After seeing Chen Ji bring such an ancient beauty in, he immediately thought of the game promotion.

  The group of freshly graduated female college students gathered around one after another. They couldn't help but love Xia Shumin's appearance in this ancient skirt.

  Xia Shumin was very embarrassed, and followed closely beside Chen Ji, with a rosy face.

   "Go back and sit down first, how are the game preparations going?"

  Chen Ji used the majesty of the boss to let the girls onlookers return to their seats.

  Huang Hao reluctantly looked at Xia Shumin a few more times before saying, "All the preparations have been completed. Just wait for you, Brother Chen, to set a good date for the public beta, and we will arrange the publicity right away."

   "How about the public beta now?"

"Now?"

  Huang Hao was stunned, and then looked at the beauty in ancient costume brought by Brother Chen, guessing his intentions.

"right."

Chen Ji smiled and pulled the little lady over, "Let me introduce you, this is Xia Shumin, who is the prototype of the daughter of the Xia Mansion in our game. At the same time, she is also the continuation writer of the company's upcoming "Dream of Red Mansions". Miss!"

   "!"

  Hearing the introduction, a group of people were dumbfounded.

   It's unbelievable, I suspect that the boss is talking nonsense.

  This little beauty in ancient costume who looks at most 28 years old is actually the author of the continuation of Dream of Red Mansions, which has attracted a lot of attention on the Internet, and has been praised by many professors and experts of Red Mansions as the best continuation of Dream of Red Mansions? !

   "Miss Ban Shu is so small?!" A staff member of an artist whose job was original painting screamed.

  She has also watched the electronic version of Dream of Red Mansions, and is quite familiar with the various plots in it, and admires the poems written by the continuation writer very much.

result…

  Miss Ban Shu is actually a twenty-eight-year-old girl? !

  Chen Ji laughed, and said to Xia Shumin in a low voice: "Shumin, say a few words casually, and meet them once. We will rely on them to earn our house in the future."

   "Yeah, Shu Min understands!"

  The little lady nodded vigorously.

  She has learned from her mother how to manage the books and take care of the business of the store. This so-called "company" should be the store that she will be in charge of in the future after she gets married, right?

  She wants to show the majesty of the hostess.

   In the future, she will be in charge of the Chen family property!

   "Everyone!"

Facing the group of employees, Xia Shumin said with a serious face: "My surname is Xia, and I am from Yongkang County, Zhao Guo. I have just come here to take charge of the company's account books, goods in and out, and personnel affairs. I am not familiar with it. I hope you will forgive me. Put more effort into your business, and hereby assure you that your monthly salary and..."

  She couldn't go on.

  Because the reaction of this group of people was completely different from what she had imagined, they all looked at her dumbfounded, as if she had said something terrible and embarrassing.

  Xia Shumin blushed and looked at the young master again.

Chen Ji hurriedly said: "Shu Min is one of the shareholders of our company. A Dream of Red Mansions is just the beginning. In the future, the company will publish some poems written by her. The company will set up a special department to be responsible for these things... Okay, let's make arrangements The game public beta!"

  He dragged the little lady to his seat, asked her to sit down first, and use the computer to surf the Internet.

   "Young master."

  Xia Shumin was pitiful, "Did the little girl say something wrong?"

   "How can you say something wrong, you will be the proprietress in the future!"

"ah."

  Xia Shumin lowered her head in shame.

   After comforting her, Chen Ji went to discuss work with Huang Hao.

   "Brother Chen, do you really want to launch the public beta today?"

  Huang Hao was a little apprehensive, feeling that it was too fast and he was not ready.

"right."

Chen Ji nodded, "Anyway, our game is not a multiplayer online game, it is more of a stand-alone game, and the promotion is almost the same. We will promote it while releasing it. I believe that there will be tap water to help us promote the quality of our game. of!"

"…OK!"

  Huang Hao gritted his teeth and agreed.

  The company’s previous mini-game releases were similar, and the announcements were basically zero, all relying on the advertisements of major mobile phone store platforms.

  The release time of "Zhao Guojianghu" is tentatively scheduled for 2 pm.

  Chen Ji called Zhou Wan.

   "Your game is going to be released?"

   "Too urgent, I am very optimistic about your game, are you sure you want to release it in the afternoon?"

   "Wait for me, I'll go to your place."

Zhou Wan hastily said a few words and hung up the phone. She should be driving to the company in her Rolls Royce—Huang Hao and the others have already recognized it. The luxury car Rolls Royce downstairs that came to the company before is her.

  Xia Shumin blinked.

   More than half an hour later, she saw a tall, graceful, and beautiful woman with a very cold and arrogant temperament walked into her son's shop—and came to the company.

  She subconsciously stood up and met the eyes of this sudden woman.

   "..."

  Zhou Wan was originally full of words, but after seeing this girl in ancient costume who stood up, she suddenly fell silent.

   "Chen Ji, this is...?"

   "Master, is she...?"

  The two spoke almost simultaneously.

   They looked at Chen Ji together.

  Looking at each other with two pairs of eyes, Chen Ji had only one thought in his mind:

  Fortunately, the Zhou Wan in front of him is the little Zhou Wan, not the Zhou Wan whom he hugged in the doomsday, and who is almost equivalent to a sure relationship.

   "Zhou Wan, you are here!"

  Chen Ji greeted her first, and then introduced Xia Shumin to her and said, "This is the author who continues to write Dream of the Red Chamber, Miss Ban Shu, and her name is Xia Shumin."

   "Ancient Lady..."

  Zhou Wan immediately remembered what Chen Ji had told her before.

  The graceful girl in ancient costume in front of me comes from the ancient world of martial arts and continues to write Dream of Red Mansions.

   "My lord, she is..." One of the four worlds?

  Xia Shumin asked in a low voice.

  She inexplicably felt that this beautiful and aloof woman in front of her was one of the four worlds that Chen Ji had told her about.

   "Her name is Zhou Wan, and she is a partner of... the company."

  Chen Ji doesn't know how to introduce Xiao Zhou Wan to her. This world is not a doomsday world, and this Zhou Wan is not that Zhou Wan.

"Hello."

   Zhou Wan smiled faintly at her.

"Hello…"

  Xia Shumin wanted to salute, but felt that it was not appropriate, so she turned to look at the young master.

   "Let's sit down and talk."

  Chen Ji pulled her, and then greeted Zhou Wan, and sat down first.

   Zhou Wan didn't go to talk about Dream of Red Mansions for the time being, and focused on the upcoming game. After confirming that Chen Ji would release it today, she took a deep look at Xia Shumin.

  After that, she took out her mobile phone to make a call, and arranged some announcements for Chen Ji's game.

   "Wait, we haven't signed the contract yet!" Chen Ji called her to stop.

  Zhou Wan shook her head, "No need...these are the rewards for helping 'me' before you."

  She glanced at Xia Shumin again.

  A person from the ancient world of martial arts appeared in front of her alive, and the impact was extremely strong.

  She couldn't think of the situation when Chen Ji gave something to another Zhou Wan as a gift, but since "Zhou Wan" accepted his kindness, she thought it was necessary for her to repay Chen Ji.

  Chen Ji asked Xia Shumin to sit first, go online or read some magazines and books, and he and Zhou Wan started to communicate with the publicity company.

  Zhou Wan directly spent 10 million purchases, and promoted the game "Zhao Kingdom Jianghu" in one morning.

  On major forums and websites, there have been some discussions about "open two-dimensional", "open world with meat pigeons", "randomly generated plots and characters".

  Xia Shumin, who had been sitting all this time, looked at the busy people in the company, and suddenly felt that she was so useless...

   That woman named Zhou Wan is really very capable.

  After she arrived, she arranged the company's affairs properly. Xia Shumin heard that the employees of "operation", "finance" and "publicity" all worked under her command.

  Her capable demeanor when she was in business made Xia Shumin fascinated, and even a little discouraged, thinking that she was the real woman...

noon.

  Chen Ji and the two of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

  Zhou Wan asked Xia Shumin about the Dream of Red Mansions, and after knowing that Xia Shumin was indeed only 28 years old, she showed a surprised expression.

   "You also wrote poetry?"

   Zhou Wan looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

   "Just wrote some miscellaneous poems."

  Xia Shumin whispered, glanced at her, and said, "Miss Zhou, you have been to many places to study, and you made so much money before you got married... It really makes the little girl feel ashamed."

  Chen Ji couldn't help laughing.

Of these two people, one is a returning elite who has studied for a Ph.D., and her family assets started out at tens of billions, and she is about to make a splash in the capital market. It is only a matter of time before she is listed on the young rich list—even if she only inherits the family property, she can still be on the rich list list.

  The other is a lady from Yongkang County, Zhao State, the world of martial arts. She has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child.

  She also writes well!

  Chen Ji was quite proud that these two girls from completely different worlds could sit and eat together.

   What's more, their identities are not simple.

   Zhou Wan has a special connection with Zhou Wan in the doomsday world.

  Xia Shumin was suspected to be the daughter of the way of heaven, her words came true, and the ghosts and gods were shocked when she wrote the pen.

  Now they sit and talk together.

  Chen Ji, who knew their inside story, couldn't help laughing again.

   "I really don't know what you've been through."

   Zhou Wan glanced at this guy.

  From the conversation with Xia Shumin, she could see the thoughts of this ancient young lady:

   From one end to the end, she considers herself Chen Ji's daughter-in-law, and she does not hesitate to come to the modern world that is very strange to her from ancient times.

  At the same time, Zhou Wan also knew something about Chen Ji's experience, and her curiosity about him became stronger.

   "Miss Wan'er, do you want to be my guest?"

  Xia Shumin took the initiative to invite, because Zhou Wan also invited her to be a guest at home just now.

  Zhou Wan hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Ji, and couldn't help asking him: "Can I go?"

  She is more and more curious about another world, whether it is the end of the world or ancient times.

  She is willing to spend 10 million to help Chen Ji announce the game, maybe it is because she wants to build a good relationship with him.

  Chen Ji glanced at the phone.

  Mayen has already given a reminder that she can take Zhou Wan to the doomsday world.

   Maybe the two Zhou Wans will be able to meet soon?

   "Are you sure you want to go?"

Chen Ji sat in front of her and looked at her: "The world in the end will encounter mutated creatures, and it is also very cold. Although I can bring you back in time, you will still encounter certain dangers. You should think about it. As for Shumin's world , I can’t take you there yet.”

  Xia Shumin looked at Zhou Wan.

  The latter lowered his head and fiddled with the chopsticks in his hands. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Did the other Zhou Wan experience many dangers?"

"right!"

   "Okay, I'd like to go."

   Zhou Wan added: "I am willing to go to the doomsday world where the sun is extinguished, and I am willing to meet her... If this can make her space ability stronger, I will be very pleased with it."

  She already knew in a dream that another Zhou Wan had spatial abilities in the doomsday world.

   also guessed that after she met the other party, the spatial ability might have some kind of change.

  Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhou Wan in front of him: "Okay, I will thank you for her first, whether it is useful or not."

   Zhou Wan chuckled lightly, "I should be the one thanking you."

  Xia Shumin asked curiously: "My lord, can Shumin take a look at the world where the sun is extinguished?"

   "Unfortunately, not yet."

   "Oh~~ Then I will go again when I have a chance."

  That's it.

  After the game was released and Zhou Wan was ready, Chen Ji took her to the doomsday world to meet another Zhou Wan.

  Chen Ji is looking forward to what kind of sparks they can collide with.
