Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

A month after I handed the script to Director Chen, I received another call from Manager Zhou, asking if I was available. He said he had a future project we needed to collaborate on and asked if I was interested. Our previous collaboration had been quite pleasant, and the remuneration was generous, so I was eager to continue, so I quickly agreed. The appointment was still for Saturday, in the same hotel and private room as before. Unfortunately, Rong Zixuan's basketball team was away playing, otherwise I would have asked him to accompany me.

I arrived at the agreed place at the agreed time and found that there seemed to be more people in the box. Sitting on the left of Director Chen was an elegant young man, and his gray-green suit made him look very noble.

"Oh, Xiao Wei is here, come, come, sit here," Director Chen invited me to sit next to him, where there was an empty seat.

After I sat down, Director Chen introduced the young man next to me and said, "This is Mr. Xiao Yuan, the CEO of Yunce Pictures. He is very interested in investing in our film, but he wants to talk to you, the screenwriter, first."

I stood up and extended my hand to him, "Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Wei Qing, a student of Jinghua, and the screenwriter of Director Chen's upcoming film "The Code"

"Hello, hello. The script you wrote is excellent. It's the best script I've read in recent years. And you're still a student. You have a bright future!"

"Mr. Xiao, you're joking. It's just that his writing is a little better."

"Don't be so modest. I've also read your novel "Bullet". It's really well written and I'm following it, but why did you stop updating last month?"

"Last month I was busy with the script, so I couldn't find time to update."

"Hahahahaha, so that's how it is."

"What is your major?"

"computer"

"It's amazing for girls to learn this," Director Chen said in surprise.

“Although there are not many girls in this major, there are still some.”

Later, Xiao Yuan asked me about the film's conception and his thoughts and concerns after watching it, and I responded. We felt like old friends reuniting after a long separation; we hit it off perfectly. The entire afternoon was a two-person show, with no one else interjecting. Xiao Yuan saw potential in this film and immediately decided to invest in it.

A few days later, I received a strange call. I thought it was another staff member from Director Chen, so I answered it.

"Hello, Wei Qing, I'm Xiao Yuan"

"Hello, Mr. Xiao"

"Are you free this afternoon? Let's chat at a cafe near your school."

"What are you talking about? Do you have any questions about the movie last time?"

“No, it’s something else.”

"What else?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone, you'll know when you come."

Before I could ask clearly, Xiao Yuan hung up the phone.

I arrived at my appointment on time that afternoon, and there was a sign outside the cafe saying "Closed". What was going on? Just as I was about to leave, the door of the cafe opened.

"Wei Qing, come in!"

It was Xiao Yuan. Are all rich people so willful? He could book out the entire place at will. Last time, Li Zhanwen and his brother also booked the entire place. I followed him in, and as soon as I sat down, the waiter brought me a cup of coffee.

"I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered a cappuccino for you."

"Thank you, I can do anything."

"I came to you today mainly to discuss a cooperation with you."

“What kind of cooperation?”

"I've checked your profile. You sold an algorithm to LY earlier this year. Last year, you interned at a top IT company in the industry and received excellent grades. You also take on a number of IT projects, both large and small, with a good completion rate and high effectiveness. You're also highly regarded in the industry."

"You want to work with me on an IT project?"

"Yes, but it's not a project. I want to set up an IT company. I'll provide the capital and you'll provide the technology. I'll give you corresponding shares in due course. If you want to bring your fiancé along, that's fine too. He's quite capable too."

"It seems you've done a lot of research, even checking that he's my fiancé."

"Nothing, it's easier to employ people when you know their background and background."

“Why choose me?”

"First, the first time I read your work, I thought you were incredibly talented. Later, I learned from various sources that you're not only accomplished in literary creation, but also excel in other areas. Polygon Warrior, you're a rare talent. Meeting you in person has only solidified my belief. Second, your abilities are truly exceptional. You independently completed an algorithm in your sophomore year and sold it for hundreds of millions of dollars. Other companies might not even be able to complete a project, but you two accomplished it. This speaks volumes about your exceptional abilities. Third, I've always been confident in my judgment."

"What if? There's always a chance of something happening."

"Do you think you are that one?"

I was speechless and didn't know what to say.

“So you have confidence, don’t you?”

"I……"

"You only need to provide the technology, and I will convert it into shares for you later. It shouldn't be a big loss for you."

"I'll think about it."

"How long to consider"

"Three days"

"No, one day will be enough. Three days is too long. I will be entangled in hesitation again and again. If I hesitate when I should make a decision, I will suffer the consequences. I have to do things quickly and decisively. Dragging it out is a taboo."

"Okay, I'll give you an answer this time tomorrow."

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Before I could agree, he stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands. I awkwardly extended my hand and shook hands.

That night, Rong Zixuan and I discussed Xiao Yuan's proposal. He thought it was feasible. After all, we only provided technology and didn't have to pay for anything, so there was nothing to lose. He was still thinking too simply. I went back and thought about it for a long time. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. I drafted a contract overnight and gave it to Xiao Yuan the next day. He didn't even look at it and signed it directly.

"No, you haven't even looked at it, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"

“You’re not that kind of person”

“You know I’m not.”

“I can’t be wrong in the person I choose.”

“Have you always been so confident?”

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"No, I just think you're too confident and arrogant."

"No, no, no, I am just confident. I am sure of what I do."

"All right"

"You are actually very good, but why do you always lack confidence in yourself? This shouldn't happen to someone as good as you."

“Maybe I just don’t have the confidence.”

"Then I will be your support from now on."

"Uh... do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, why are you asking that? I don't have any romantic feelings for you, I just admire your talent."

"I was scared to death," I patted my chest.

"It seems there is a story, tell it to me."

"This memory is too painful to recall. At the beginning of the year, I went to LY for training. A rich second-generation man from Hegang insisted that he liked me and even got into a fight with my boyfriend. He called me from time to time to harass me."

"You are not talking about Shen Junhui, are you?"

"You know each other"

"He is my cousin, my father and his mother are siblings"

"No way, this can happen"

"After the last incident, Li Zhanwen came to complain, and his father scolded him severely, and then sent him to study in the United States. But I can see that he really likes you. His room is full of your photos."

"No, where did he get my photo?"

“That should be in your social account.”

“I didn’t add him.”

"He can ask someone else for it. He has been spoiled since he was a child, and his grandfather will always meet his needs."

"How perverted!"

"He's actually quite kind and sunny, but he just doesn't know how to express it. He's used to being pampered, so he lacks empathy and doesn't care about other people's feelings."

“I see.”

At that moment, his phone rang. He answered for a moment, then hurried off. Later, we co-founded an IT company. He, Rong Zixuan, and I became the founders. He provided the funding, while Rong Zixuan and I handled the technology. Since he was the one who provided the funding, we named the company Yuanyuan after him.
