I became beautiful by eating melons

Chapter 716 The 1st Investment

In the outer hall, Lian Xin looked at the person beside her and asked curiously:

"Sister Hui, how come you also know Comrade Ye Rou?"

The woman sitting next to her was wearing a hat with a strong retro feel, an embroidered vest, and a dark blue long-sleeved shirt dress. Her outfit was particularly elegant, and she looked generous and had a good temperament. It was a pity that the woman's face was a little yellow, her cheeks were thin, and she looked a little unwell.

——It was Wen Bo’s ex-wife, Cheng Hui, who had been enduring by Wen Bo’s side for many years out of concern for her teacher who had been poisoned.

After Wen Bo's poisoning was exposed, the teacher ate the meatballs given by Ye Rou, vomited several mouthfuls of black blood, and miraculously regained consciousness.

The teacher knew that she had had a hard time these years and did not want to drag her down any longer. He accepted the suggestion of his good friend, Luo Jitong, the dean of the School of Western Medicine, and went to a professional sanatorium.

Cheng Hui no longer needed to take care of the teacher and had nothing to do for a while. After thinking it over again and again, she picked up her pen again and turned her experiences of those years into a suspense novel.

She wanted Quince to be socially dead.

After I finished writing the book, my submissions were rejected because the story was too dark.

She was devastated and feeling lost when the newspaper where Lianxin worked contacted her and asked her to publish her book.

Working in the same newspaper, Cheng Hui and Lianxin became familiar with each other after a few visits.

By chance, she read the new book that Lianxin was writing and was deeply attracted by the imaginative storyline. While she was admiring it, she heard Lianxin say that the inspiration for the story came from someone else.

She asked out of curiosity, and only then did she know that it was Ye Rou who provided inspiration to Lian Xin.

Knowing that both of them knew Ye Rou, the editor of the publishing house begged Lianxin to bring Cheng Hui with her when she went to see Ye Rou again.

The editor intends to make Cheng Hui's book into a movie and hopes Ye Rou can also invest.

So the two of them came together.

After listening to Cheng Hui's story of how she met Ye Rou, Lian Xin covered her mouth and trembled all over.

She read Cheng Hui's book, which was full of suspense, twists and turns, and made people feel cold.

I thought it was fiction, but I never expected it to be based on real events.

If Ye Rou hadn't come to her aid, Lian Xin couldn't even imagine what would have happened to Cheng Hui.

She hugged her arms tightly: "You are really a beast in wolf's clothing. Sister Cheng Hui, you are so brave. If it were me, I would have committed suicide long ago."

"It's all over. It's better to say that I'm lucky than to say that I'm brave."

Cheng Hui sighed, "If Comrade Ye Rou hadn't helped me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on."

"Persistence leads to victory. Look, the turning point is here."

Lian Xin comforted her, "Sister Cheng Hui, your luck is about to change."

Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I'll borrow your good words."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the door. They turned their heads to look, and when they saw the person standing outside the door, they were all stunned.

The person coming in from outside should be Ye Rou...

To be honest, they were both a little unsure about this outfit.

She wore a military green felt hat (to hide her colorful hair), sunglasses (to hide her pupils that change color), a mask (to hide her face that sparkles like a diamond), and an obviously ill-fitting windbreaker (to hide her lotus steps). Most importantly, she also held a black umbrella (to hide the petals falling from the sky).

Under the astonished gazes of Lian Xin and Cheng Hui, Ye Rou held up a black umbrella and slowly walked into the house: "Long time no see."

"..." Lian Xin slowed down for a moment, glanced at the huge black umbrella, and asked carefully: "Ye Rou, you, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Hui followed up by asking, "Are you sick?"

The mask blocked her face, and her voice was a little muffled. Ye Rou nodded and said, "I have a cold, and I'm afraid I'll infect you. Just treat it as normal. Come and sit down."

Lianxin and Cheng Hui looked at each other.

Beautiful people always have something different about them, so they had to try their best to ignore Ye Rou's abnormality.

Lian Xin took the lead and said, "Man Man had work today and couldn't come. Let me say sorry to you. Also, I have finished writing my book. This is the first draft."

She took out the manuscript from her bag and handed it to Ye Rou.

Ye Rou held the umbrella in her left hand and took the manuscript paper with her right hand. When she turned her head, the oversized hat tilted slightly and a flash of colorful light passed by.

Lianxin blinked blankly, suspecting that there was something wrong with her eyes.

Otherwise, why did she seem to see... Ye Rou's hair seemed to be glowing?

"Ye Rou, your hair..."

Although Ye Rou quickly adjusted her hat, she was still afraid that Lian Xin would see something. Her nervous heart was about to rise to her throat, and she asked in a panic, "What's wrong with my hair?"

"I must have seen it wrong." Lian Xin rubbed her eyes, "I really can't stay up late anymore, my eyes are having problems."

Ye Rou took the manuscript paper and breathed a sigh of relief while Lian Xin turned around.

She flipped through the manuscript and glanced through it. After she finished reading, she looked up and met Lian Xin's nervous and expectant gaze. Ye Rou smiled and said, "It's very well written. It's really good. It's beyond my expectations."

Lian Xin's writing style is delicate and her grasp of the characters' emotions is extremely accurate. She portrays the heroine's frustrated psychology of being bullied after getting married in an extremely vivid way. Reading the text makes people want to drag the hero's family out and beat them up.

Ye Rou made the decision and said, "I will shoot this movie."

Lianxin was overjoyed and her face flushed with excitement.

Unexpectedly, the book she wrote would be adapted into a movie one day!

Cheng Hui was standing aside, with envy in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she took out her manuscript and recommended herself: "This is the book I wrote. Um... originally... but I felt... uh..."

She was afraid that her book was not interesting enough and not worth investing in to be made into a movie, so she hesitated for a long time and became more and more nervous as she spoke.

Seeing that the manuscript paper she was pinching was about to be deformed, Ye Rou hurriedly said, "Sister Cheng Hui, can you let me take a look?"

"Um, yes." Cheng Hui handed over the manuscript.

Ye Rou flipped through it and read it once, and after finishing it, she fell silent.

Cheng Hui's heart sank, and she took the initiative to say, "This is also the first time I've written a suspense book, so I may not write it well. Just tell me directly, I can bear it, don't embarrass me."

Lian Xin also looked at Ye Rou nervously.

Ye Rou shook her head and said, "On the contrary, you wrote it very well, but the ending...why did the heroine forgive the hero?"

Cheng Hui smiled when Ye Rou praised her for her good writing. When Ye Rou talked about the ending, she said hurriedly, "Actually, the original ending I wrote was that the heroine killed the hero, but the editor thought it was too dark, so we had this ending."

Ye Rou: "According to the first version of the ending, I'll pay for it to be made into a movie, okay?"

"Really?" Cheng Hui, who was always steady, excitedly rushed over and hugged Ye Rou after hearing what Ye Rou said.

Ye Rou was caught off guard when being hugged, her head tilted, and the oversized hat fell off!
