Chapter 26: This Is Awesome!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Indeed, Sunflower’s writing was wonderful and provocative.
So, when the woman read the scene where the protagonist shouted, “Every dog has its day,” she was thrilled. “Yes, well said! Every dog has its day! Brilliant!”
She might have said it too loudly. The Robot Butler knocked on her door and asked, “My lady, were you calling for me?”
“Huh?” The woman quickly replied, “No, I was just reading.”
“Oh,” the Robot Butler said, “call me if you need anything.”
“Alright, run along.” The woman sent the Robot Butler away, then lay down on her bed. The terrifying image of today’s car accident suddenly appeared in her mind, and she thought about the saying “Every dog has its day” again.
“By the way, he encountered something before that was similar to breaking off an engagement.” The woman smiled and mumbled, “Will he work hard and stand out in the future?”
The scene where Wang Hao pulled her into his arms at the critical moment appeared in front of her eyes, and she said softly, “I… think so…”
…
The contract was ready.
Wang Hao drafted the contract, which explained the details of the confidentiality agreement, the distribution of profit and other terms, and sent it to Sunflower.
Around 5pm, Sunflower went to print out the contract.
Then, the front door opened. Wang Hao’s mom came in and yelled, “Hao, what are you doing? Is the lady still here?”
“She went home.” Wang Hao stretched. “What are we having for dinner?”
“Huh?” Mom was surprised. “She’s gone? Why didn’t you ask her to stay for dinner?”
Wang Hao mumbled, “She was here just to take something. After that, she left.”
“What did she take?” Mom went into Wang Hao’s bedroom and saw his new computer. “Wait a second!” Mom rushed forward. She looked at the new desk and computer from every angle. “Where did you get these?”
F*ck, what should I tell her?!
Wang Hao’s brain operated like a CPU. Roughly 0.01 second later, he decided to tell her the truth. “She gave it to me…”
“Wow, Hao!” Mom slapped Wang Hao hard on his back. “She’s giving you presents already?” She sized up the computer desk again, then shook her head. “It must be quite expensive! How can you just accept her gift? We have to give her something in return. What should we buy her? It has to be similar in price…”
Wang Hao was instantly shocked — Mom, this entire set is almost 150,000 yuan!
You can’t afford it even if you sell me! Are you sure you want to buy something similar in price?
“Well…” Wang Hao started sweating. “We just need to show our gratitude. The money isn’t a big deal to her…”
“No way! Our family might not be as rich as hers, but we have dignity!” Mom said emotionally. “When your Dad comes home, we’ll gather some money. Buy her a Longines watch! Around 8000 yuan will do! It’s settled!”
Even ten watches can’t measure up to this desk set!
Wang Hao was so frustrated, but seeing the excited look on Mom’s face, he couldn’t tell her the truth — she might break down if he did.
Mom hummed and went into the kitchen. Wang Hao sighed — this was quite the huge favor…
After dinner, Wang Hao lay on his bed. This unlucky day was astounding — he had almost died.
Luckily, he got some compensation out of it. At least he got a new computer, and exchanged WeChat, QQ, Weibo and phone numbers with the woman. If not, this day would be too gone for tears — and if he was dead, he couldn’t even cry…
The fortune from the Fortune Dice seemed to have a limit — perhaps the car accident and the ground collapsing had used up all the misfortune; he didn’t feel so unlucky now.
Above all, it was still within acceptable limits.
Anyone would go crazy if serious incidents like that happened all day long…
“I hope I’ll have better luck tomorrow.” Before going to sleep, Wang Hao thought, “The probability of getting an ‘Unlucky’ is 1/6, so getting it two days in a row was a 1/36 chance. I guess it isn’t that miserable…”
…
Wang Hao slept. He had no idea that a heated discussion was happening on the Internet right now!
It all started with a news article titled “Tragic Pileup on Zhonghai Tianfu Street” posted on the country’s largest media website. The netizens who had been at the scene soon uploaded some pictures on World End Forum.
Netizens always liked to join in on the fun, so countless users commented on the pictures and expressed how crazy they thought rich people were. Then, some netizens noticed the beauty of one of the drivers involved. Even with the sunglasses on, they could tell that she was a total stunner.
Such a topic rapidly attracted people’s attention. Later, a netizen called Swinging Fish posted with the title “Investigation of the driver’s identity.” It became a hot topic in the forum and many other netizens started following the post!
The content of the post was simple and straightforward. The author demonstrated all sorts of techniques which were especially impressive!
Swinging Fish: “Hi, I’m Swinging Fish. I believe you’re all curious about the gorgeous woman involved in the Tianfu Street accident. Who is she? Okay, calm down. Let us use real techniques to solve the mystery. First picture, coming up.”
Then, a picture was posted. It was a screenshot of the woman getting out of the car.
The netizens replied, “Count me in! Front row! Sofa! Here’s the link to all the pictures! This post is going viral!”
Swinging Fish: “The angle of this picture isn’t so great. It’s a bit dark and not clear enough. It’s hard to see. Don’t worry, I’ll adjust the colors with Photoshop — what do you think? Does it look brighter?”
The netizens replied, “Such talent! Awesome! Master of Photoshop!”
Swinging Fish: “Then, go look for an image profile of Ice Queen on Baidu. Hm, this angle and posture look similar. Insert it into the picture and lower the transparency… Although the angle doesn’t seem right, you can see that the features match perfectly, so…”
Netizens: “Such talent! Impressive! This is awesome! You’re innovative~ keep it up, haha!”
A netizen voiced their doubts. “One picture doesn’t mean anything, does it?”
Swinging Fish: “I knew some of you would say that. Let’s keep going! Next is this picture. Its angle is trickier. It’s difficult to look for, but I happen to have one with a similar posture and the angle is only a little bit different. I’ll just insert it first. Rotate… overlap… lower the transparency…”
Netizen: “Wow! Are you from CSI???”
Swinging Fish: “What do you think? Do they match? Hehe, take it easy. The real show is about to start!”
