Chapter 161 Do You Want Money or People?

"You are really good at editing post-processing.

If you know a little bit about P-pictures, your circle of friends in college won’t be all straight. "

Duan Xian brought a fruit platter and placed it in front of Meng Lang.

"What kind of straight man style?" Meng Lang stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth and asked doubtfully.

"The three best things about girls taking selfies are staring and pouting at a 45-degree angle. When straight men take selfies, they look serious and curl their lips. The uglier the better."

"Uh... Hey! After all, I am also an outstanding member who graduated from the Photography Amateurs Association. Am I as unworthy as you say?"

Duan Xian rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Don't mention your fans association. I just believed you and asked you to take a photo for me. What's the result? Not to mention the stiff posture and the strange composition, my height of 1.8 meters makes you uncomfortable. The photo was taken to be 1.6 meters tall.

Did you know that from that day on, all the male classmates in the class set the background of my call notifications to your photo?

Thank you so much for unifying the weights and measures for me! "

emm…

I thought it was because I was very skilled and my works were loved by my classmates, but I didn’t expect that I was unintentionally gaining respect for the whole class?

"Who made you look so angry? You don't even know how many people wanted to tie you up in the middle of the night when you first entered school. Singles lived in the same era and in the same school as you. That was so sad..."

Meng Lang and Duan Xian couldn't help but smile when they talked about their college days.

Meng Lang has been feeling tense recently, but Meng Lang really enjoys this rare moment of relaxation.

How many people have tried their best to live an ordinary life.

It's just that the ordinary future of their generation is precarious...

Duan Xian's parents went for a walk after dinner, leaving the space at home to the three young people.

Seeing the hint in Duan's mother's eyes before leaving, Meng Lang knew that she hadn't given up yet.

During this time, Xiao Yi was curled up watching TV, while Meng Lang and Meng Lang were sitting on the sofa chatting.

[In early trading on April 10, the price of Bitcoin suddenly fell sharply, with a drop of as much as 10%, causing 100,000 people to liquidate their positions. Financial regulatory agencies once again reminded investors to pay attention to related risks...]

Duan Xiaoyi changed channels casually.

"This virtual currency seems to be very popular recently. Many people around me are playing it, and they even told me that this thing can help me support my retirement. Is it true?"

"If you want to buy it now, I don't know if it will last for your retirement. It will basically last you until your death." Meng Lang said this while eating some fruit.

"Well……"

[Xinhua News Agency reported that the snake head, a national treasure-level cultural relic with twelve animal heads, has finally been seen again after 158 years, and will be exhibited for the first time at the Sioux City Museum in the near future...]

[‘I must die’ The data leakage of 87 million users continues to unfold. Bergzak was questioned by Congress at the Black House on the 10th. The following is the live scene...

“You think you don’t have a monopoly?”

"Yeah we didn't."

…

"I swear, it looks like he's wearing a mask."

"Can you smile? To prove you can do it."

"Okay, stop laughing, this is kind of scary."

"Are you sure you're not a robot?"]

It is now seven o'clock in the evening. Duan Xiaoyi has changed several channels, all of which are news.

"Tsk! This robot's expression management is really good." Duan Xian couldn't help but complain as he looked at the weird smile with completely symmetrical arcs on the screen.

"Well! At least this robot has a strong say..." Meng Lang looked at Bergzak on the screen thoughtfully.

“One-third of the world’s people are saying that they must die, so how can their voice not have such power?”

"Then tell me, if I could hack his 'Must Die' account, and then use it to force the screen dominating official to declare a 'Doomsday Declaration', how many people in the world would believe it?" Meng Lang touched his chin.

"Yeah! Your idea is quite creative, and it has a great rejuvenation effect, but if we don't use it in our country, it will have to die."

"What if we add penguins?

The social media of these two companies together cover nearly half of the world's population. With official announcements at the same time, can the effect be explosive? "

“I don’t know what other people’s reactions will be when they see it, I definitely don’t believe it anyway.

Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors, and don’t spread rumors from goose to goose..."

"Hey! It's officially the end of the world after all. Can you think about it seriously?"

"If I have time to think about the end of the world, I think it's better to pay attention to housing prices. Thanks to the trade conflict, housing prices in Suzhou City have risen again in the past two days..."

Meng Lang sighed helplessly.

Indeed, for ordinary people, instead of worrying about the doomsday in a few decades, it may be more practical to care about tomorrow's housing prices.

The content of chats between men is nothing more than chatting about housing prices, the stock market, macroeconomics, CPI...

Duan Xiaoyi didn't bother them and pressed the remote control boredly.

When the channel switched to a variety show, she sat up slightly, as if she had finally found the program she was interested in.

"Hey! Seriously, you haven't thought about developing in the entertainment industry? It would be a pity for you to rely on God for your livelihood. If you work hard, maybe you can be more popular than him?"

Meng Lang pointed to a close-up of a handsome and hopelessly handsome male star on the TV.

Although I can’t name him, this male star seems to be very popular recently.

"Entertainment industry? Haven't you heard, 'Once you enter the industry, it's as deep as the sea, and sincerity becomes a passerby from now on'? The entertainment industry is so complicated.

But that’s just not my ambition, otherwise I would definitely be more popular than him. "

"Put me down? Are you the only one who can compete with my Chao Ge? You are not allowed to insult my idol like this!"

Duan Xiaoyi, who was watching the show, quit and intervened in the conversation between the two men for the first time.

"Hey! I am your biological brother, but you are denying me because you are chasing stars!" Duan Xian glared.

"Chaoge is different from those ordinary celebrities. For the sake of my idol brother, I will show you my brother-in-law's righteousness!" Duan Xiaoyi glared back without showing any signs of weakness.

[Feel the fingertips that stop at my origin, how to freeze time instantly.

Remember to look into my firm eyes, maybe there is no tomorrow.

Facing the vast sea of ​​stars, we are as tiny as dust, floating helplessly...]

Meng Lang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but listen.

[Fate allows us to meet in troubled times, but fate wants us to fall in love in times of crisis.

Maybe the future is light years away, and I am willing to wait for you in the unknown.

I never thought I could be so crazy for you...】

Even Meng Lang had to say that this star's singing voice had a charm that made people go numb, penetrated people's hearts, and made people obsessed.

Several people were immersed in the beautiful singing.

[The universe is majestic and indifferent, our love is tiny and twinkling, bumpy but so selfless...]

After singing the song, the picture on the TV switched to the crowd below, screaming and cheering crazily. Duan Xiaoyi clenched her hands with little stars in her eyes.

"As expected of me, I love you!"

Duan Xian also smacked his mouth insincerely. "emm...Okay, I admit, this guy is a rare and powerful enemy."

"Huh?" X2.

"Uh...well, actually, I think I'm more suitable to follow the route of the idol group than the powerful group..."

"Cut!" X2.

"Give up your unrealistic fantasies and live in the present, okay? It's the same B. Going north is NB, and going south is SB. The most important thing in life is direction."

Meng Lang almost burst into tears. Xiao Yi was really merciless to his brother during this period.

"You probably have no chance at this level, but you can settle for the next best thing. People should always have some dreams, just in case they come true." Meng Lang suppressed his laughter and patted Duan Xian on the shoulder to encourage him.

Duan Xian rolled his eyes, "I don't need you to worry about it. My dream in life is very simple, not that complicated."

"What dream? Three thousand beauties in the harem?" Meng Lang asked curiously.

"Brother, you still don't understand me." Duan Xian looked disillusioned.

"Actually, having a job with a stable income, marrying a beautiful wife, and having a loving brother... is enough!"

Meng Lang thought for a while and nodded.

"Yeah! It's indeed a simple dream... Dalang almost thinks so."

Duan Xian: "..."

"Pfft!" Duan Xiaoyi also shouted. "I didn't realize you were quite funny."

"Really? That may be because my usual sense of humor is not so obvious."

"Hmm! If you weren't so good, maybe you'd be my type!"

"Well……"

"Ha! You two still care about each other? How about I go and you two chat?" Duan Xian crossed his arms and looked at the two of them.

"Tch! Let's chat! Bring your phone and I'll scan it for you!" Duan Xiaoyi said and actually took out her phone.

emm…

Meng Lang sweated, quite suddenly, and looked at Duan Xian speechlessly.

Your sister wants to join me, should I join her or not?

Duan Xian was also speechless. Do you really want to add more at any time?

This is the first time that he has seen his sister find a man and ask for her contact information. But these two people really know each other, right?

So, uncle, should I do it or not? I feel quite complicated...

"Oh, I'll do it myself!"

Duan Xiaoyi saw that Meng Lang had not made any move, so she took the mobile phone he placed on the table, scanned his face to unlock it, and then operated it with his fingers for a while.

"Dip!" The friend was added successfully.

Meng Lang sweated. Are there any "self-help" friends here?

Although the number of requests from beauties to scan QR codes and add friends has increased suddenly recently, he has become somewhat immune to it.

However, counting the previous few times, whether it was Lu Kexin or Lin Haitang and Yan Weiwei, they were completely full of purpose, soulless scanning, and full of various routines in the city.

This must be the first time that a beautiful woman has been added as a friend, and thinking about it, I'm actually a little excited.

Then... I saw Duan Xiaoyi operating on her mobile phone for a while.

【Ding! Your Zhifu Pay has received 200,000 yuan. 】

"Huh?" X2.

Seeing the surprised looks from the two of them, Duan Xiaoyi arched his eyebrows.

"I just got a signing fee some time ago. It's not much. I'll pay you back 200,000 first, and then I'll pay back the rest when I make a lot of money!"

Meng Lang's little excitement calmed down instantly.

It turns out that adding friends is to repay the money...

think too much.

Beautiful women take the initiative to add themselves as friends for the pure purpose of in-depth communication... It is indeed an illusion of life...

It's like every time someone calls "handsome guy" on the street, I know I shouldn't, but I still turn around.

We all understand the truth, but sometimes the story is too provocative and emotions get in the way...

Meng Lang sighed in his heart, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Duan Xiaoyi.

"Hey! The relationship between you and my brother is one and the same. Brothers must also settle accounts clearly. We still have to pay back the money we should pay. Otherwise, I always feel that I owe you something. When I see you, I always feel that I Mom wants to sell me."

"Uh...actually..."

"Okay, I know what you want to say, I can understand it, but I can't accept it.

If you still insist, then all I can do is say, "This little girl has nothing to repay, I can only pledge myself to you."

If you want money, or if you want me, it’s your choice. "

Duan Xiaoyi's words are not surprising, but Duan Xian and Meng Lang are both in trouble.

Do you want money or people?

Now that the words have come to this, how can he choose?

Choose money and get points, choose people and get lives!

"Okay! Let's talk then." Duan Xiaoyi saw that she had calmed down the scene, and stood up with a smile to leave.

"Hey! Why are you going?" Duan Xian asked.

Duan Xiaoyi pointed at Chaoge's handsome face on the TV.

"Go back to the house and next wallpaper, lick the screen!"

rash:"……"

Duan Xian: "..."

Until Duan Xiaoyi gracefully disappeared into the living room with her hands behind her back, Meng Lang was stunned for a long time before he clicked his tongue and gave a thumbs up.

"My sister is such a sweetheart!"

Duan Xian had a wry smile on his face, "I've been accustomed to doing my own thing since I was a child, but as an elder brother, I'm really outdone by my younger sister, alas!"

When his father treats his illness, he has to share the burden with his younger sister. As an elder brother, he feels a little disappointed.

"Why are you so anxious? You have just graduated. It still takes time to achieve something.

When you get older, you will realize that money is something you cannot take with you until you die..."

"When these words came out of your mouth, I didn't feel comforted at all."

"Hey! If you really have an idea, why not come and help me? I'm short of people here.

I can help you realize at least two-thirds of your dream. Meng Lang looked at Duan Xian and smiled half-jokingly.

He is short of money now, and he is also short of people, people he can trust!

Now he doesn't even understand the cause and solution of madman's disease. It's difficult to save himself, let alone save mankind, but at least he has seen the light of day.

But even if he can survive past 2043, he may still have to face an extremely chaotic apocalypse. Every person he can trust is the key to his survival.

Those who do not plan for the eternity cannot plan for a moment.

We need to think about increasing the available manpower.

Can't the other party have thousands of troops, and we are still a group of old, weak, women and children, right?

If you work hard to develop good friends, wouldn't you have "one hundred thousand talents"?

"Short of people? Last time I heard you say it, I found that your company's disability rate is particularly high. Shouldn't you be working as a mercenary abroad?" Duan Xian looked suspicious.

In a sense, what I did was more dangerous than that...

So far, I have narrowly escaped death!

"You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death. Everyone is destined to die..."

"Stop, stop, stop! What exactly does your company want to do?"

"Here we go to Quantai to recruit the old troops and kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners!"

Duan Xian: "..."

Can you speak human language?
