I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 103 Christmas Eve Encounter (Two Chapters in One)

"By the way, we already have three videos, so we will have revenue in the future, right?" Liu Xin asked again, as if he remembered something.

The conditions for Youku Video to apply to join the original advertising sharing plan are that the number of original videos uploaded must be greater than or equal to 3, and the total number of clicks must reach 100 million.

Currently, the account "Xinxin Daily" fully meets the requirements.

Li Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, we will get paid for filming videos in the future, but it's not much, and it will take a month to settle the bill."

The advertising revenue sharing ratio is 30% and 70%, with the platform taking 70% and the user taking 30%.

The amount of this share is not fixed and is calculated based on the advertising costs invested.

When the profit is high, you can get one dollar of commission for every 100 valid clicks (i.e., watching the ad in its entirety); when the profit is low, you may not get even one dollar for every 1000 valid clicks.

At present, the total number of clicks on the three videos of "Xinxin Daily" is more than 230 million. Based on the minimum of 1000 valid clicks, at least two to three thousand yuan can be obtained.

"Even if the money is not much, it's a good start that the videos we shot can make money!" Liu Xin looked excited.

These days, Li Xu has invested more than a thousand yuan in shooting videos. Just treating her, Xu Haoyang, Li Guanfu and others to dinner cost him six or seven hundred yuan, but he has not made a penny yet.

She was a little worried that Li Xu would stop filming because he kept losing money. Fortunately, he could finally make money now.

Li Xu looked at the joyful Liu Xin, took out the peace apple prepared for her from behind, and a beautiful Christmas card, and handed them to her.

"this is for you!"

"Thank you!" Liu Xin was very surprised and quickly took the apple and greeting card.

"You also prepared a greeting card?"

Liu Xin curiously flipped through the greeting card in her hand, then raised her head and said to Li Xu with a smile:

"Tomorrow is Christmas, and I'll give it to you too..."

Halfway through her words, she seemed to suddenly react and slapped her head in frustration, "Oh, I shouldn't have told you in advance. This way, there's no surprise."

Li Xu looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but laugh softly.

After chatting with Liu Xin for a few more words, Li Xu said goodbye to her and left.

He found a supermarket nearby and bought another peace apple, then took a taxi to Ningyi, intending to give Liang Hui a holiday gift as well.

Knowing so many beautiful girls can be a hassle sometimes. It’s hard to even send them all gifts during holidays.

……

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Li Xu and Luo Jiahui took a taxi to Jiangning 1912 Block at the intersection of Changjiang Road and Taiping North Road.

This block consists of 19 Republican-style buildings and 4 street squares. It is Jiangning's most distinctive and fashionable block, integrating leisure, entertainment and catering.

To the east of the block is the Presidential Palace.

On Christmas Eve, the 1912 block was ablaze with lights and bustling with people, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

There is a huge Christmas tree, Santa Clauses all over the streets, and young couples wearing Christmas Little Red Hats and holding hands can be seen everywhere.

Li Xu and Luo Jiahui also bought two Little Red Riding Hoods from a girl selling small accessories and put one on their heads.

This kind of Little Red Riding Hood is very cheap, only 2 yuan each.

After the two of them strolled casually on the street for a while, Li Xu took Luo Jiahui into a Western restaurant.

The restaurant is decorated in a very Western style, with walls full of wine and dim lights, which is quite stylish.

The two found an empty table and sat down. Li Xu ordered two medium-rare steaks, a vegetable salad, and a bottle of red wine for 298 yuan.

Luo Jiahui opened her handbag, took out a gift box tied with a bow, and handed it to Li Xu with a smile on her face.

"Holiday gift, open it and take a look."

Li Xu looked at her in surprise, took the gift box and opened it, and found a black Samsung smartphone inside.

"cell phone?"

"Your crappy phone should have been replaced long ago. I can't even send you a photo. How about it, do you like it?" Luo Jiahui tilted her head slightly with a coquettish smile on her face.

"I like it. I will definitely like the gift you gave me." Li Xu looked at the mobile phone in his hand and felt relieved.

Although this phone was purchased by Luo Jiahui using his credit card, her thoughtfulness is truly precious.

This phone isn't cheap, is it?" Li Xu looked at Luo Jiahui and asked.

Luo Jia chuckled and hummed, explaining, "This Samsung i9008 originally cost 4599. I negotiated with the boss for a long time and finally got it down to 4350. That's all I have. I can't afford a more expensive phone."

The two credit cards that Li Xu had given her had a combined limit of seven thousand. In the past few days, she had spent two or three thousand on clothes and cosmetics, leaving her with less than five thousand yuan.

Luo Jiahui glanced at Li Xu, then said with a slightly smug smile:
"How about it, isn't my girlfriend considerate enough? Unlike some people, who don't even know to give an apple during holidays, let alone gifts."

She deliberately said the last sentence in a slightly resentful tone.

Li Xu looked at her with amusement and said with a hint of meaning: "You want to eat apples, I'll let you eat as much as you want tonight."

He really didn't expect that Luo Jiahui would be willing to give him such an expensive mobile phone. This Samsung i9008 is no worse than iPhone 4.

"What do you mean?" Luo Jiahui didn't react at first. But after a little thought, she quickly understood the deeper meaning of Li Xu's words and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"You are such a bad guy!"

Li Xu smiled, took out his wallet, pulled out the Bank of Communications credit card, handed it to Luo Jiahui, and said, "Take it. This is my holiday gift to you."

"You're giving me another card?" Luo Jiahui was surprised and happy, her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly reached out to take the credit card, playing with it happily in her hand.

"What's the limit on this card?"

"Five thousand." Li Xu replied with a smile.

After receiving his royalties, these credit cards with limits of several thousand yuan were no longer of much use to him.

If he wasn't worried about spoiling Luo Jiahui, he would have given her all four credit cards.

"Honey, you're so nice!" Luo Jiahui stood up excitedly, leaned over, and gave Li Xu a big kiss on the face.

She gave away a mobile phone worth more than 4,000 yuan, but in return she received a credit card with a limit of 5,000 yuan. She was so happy that she felt like she had made a fortune.

Now she has one more card, plus the two credit cards Li Xu gave her before, she now has 12,000 yuan in pocket money every month.

Looking at Luo Jiahui's smiling face, Li Xu felt both amused and helpless.

He was right. For Luo Jiahui, the best gift would be a bank card.

At this time, the waiter brought the steak, salad, and red wine they ordered.

After opening the red wine with a corkscrew, he poured a glass for Li Xu and Luo Jia respectively, and motioned them to taste it.

Li Xu picked up the red wine, took a sip, and couldn't help frowning.

Why does this red wine taste so sour? It is completely different from what he imagined. It doesn't taste as good as the wine (drink) he used to drink that cost 5 yuan a barrel.

Is it that his taste is bad, or is this red wine too cheap?

Luo Jiahui was holding a goblet and sipping red wine, looking contented and enjoying herself.

Li Xu put down his wine glass, glanced at her, and asked, "Have you ever eaten Western food before?"

"Well, I've eaten there once or twice, but neither place has as good an atmosphere as this one." Luo Jiahui answered while looking around the restaurant.

Li Xu knew without guessing that it must have been some spare tire or bootlicker who invited her to eat.

Thinking of this, he picked up the knife and fork, intending to taste the steak, but Luo Jiahui leaned over and took the plate in front of him.

"Honey, let me help you cut it!"

As she spoke, she picked up the knife and fork and started cutting the steak. Her technique was quite skillful, and in a short while, the steak was cut into small pieces of even size.

"Okay, you can eat now." Luo Jiahui brought the plate back to Li Xu and said with a smile.

Li Xu smiled at her, picked up a piece of steak with a fork, and put it in his mouth to taste. How should I put it, the taste was okay, but it felt not as good as the beef stew with potatoes.

It seems that his taste is really not good and he can't enjoy this kind of Western food.

Luo Jiahui cut a piece of steak with a knife, tied it up and put it in her mouth. After tasting it, she commented: "The steak in this restaurant is good, better than the two restaurants I went to before."

The food in this western restaurant is quite expensive. A sirloin steak costs 158, and a meal of two steaks, a salad, and a bottle of red wine costs about to .

Li Xu could see that Luo Jiahui had no dislike for anything as long as it was high-end and fashionable.

However, it's also good to have a girlfriend like this. As long as you can support her, she can give you the full emotional value.

I’m afraid that she will become more demanding in the future and want everything, both money and emotional value, which would be troublesome.

After dinner, the two left the restaurant and strolled on the street again.

The purpose of going out on a date during holidays is actually to enjoy the lively and cheerful atmosphere.

After walking for a while, they saw a stall selling Christmas trees on the side of the road. Li Xu took Luo Jiahui's hand and walked over. He spent 20 yuan to buy a Christmas tree and asked her to hold it.

The Christmas tree is about forty to fifty centimeters high, with colorful ribbons hanging on it, which is very beautiful.

After leaving the stall, Luo Jiahui pulled Li Xu's arm, pointed to a bar not far away, and suggested: "Why don't we go to the bar and have some fun?"

There are many bars in the 1912 block, and today is a holiday, so the bars are extremely lively, almost all of them are full. After buying a ticket, you even have to queue up to get in.

Li Xu turned his head and glanced at Luo Jiahui, saying noncommittally, "Have you ever been to a bar before?"

"I went there a few times in high school, but I haven't been there since I entered college," Luo Jiahui said with a smile.

Li Xu's face suddenly turned stern and he said seriously, "You are not allowed to go there again."

"Why?" Luo Jiahui pouted reluctantly.

"No reason, just don't go there again." Li Xu didn't explain much.

Luo Jiahui's charming appearance can easily attract trouble and be harassed, not to mention the mixed environment of a bar, which is really unsafe.

"Why are you always so overbearing?" Luo Jiahui muttered in dissatisfaction.

But after Li Xu looked at her again, she immediately put on a flattering smile and said coquettishly, "Okay, I get it. It's okay if I don't go."

Li Xu was amused by her, shook his head, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the church to receive Christmas presents? Let's go."

Just as the two were about to leave Block 1912, a familiar surprised female voice suddenly came from behind.

Li Xu turned around and saw that it was Liang Hui. Beside her was a tall and pretty girl with delicate features, who was holding her arm affectionately.

Both of them were dressed up carefully and stood not far away, like two beautiful landscapes.

"What a coincidence, you guys come here to play too?" Li Xu greeted Liang Hui with a smile.

He went to Ningyi this afternoon and didn't see Liang Hui. She happened to be out for something. A roommate collected the apples and greeting cards for her.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Liang Hui walked over with the tall girl's arm in arm.

She first glanced at Luo Jiahui who was standing next to Li Xu, then smiled and introduced her to Li Xu, "This is one of my senior students, Zhang Yujie. I was able to contact the producer teacher thanks to her help."

The tall girl next to Liang Hui looked Li Xu up and down, then offered her hand and said with a smile, "I've often heard Xiaohui mention you as a talented person, and today I finally see you in person."

Li Xu also extended his hand, shook hands lightly with the other party, and said modestly: "Senior sister, you are too kind. I am not a genius."

This girl named Zhang Yujie is tall, about 170cm tall. She is a bright and beautiful woman with a high nose bridge, delicate features, and a bit of a mixed-race look, but she doesn't look like a mix of East and West. Instead, she has a temperament a bit like that of the Indochina Peninsula.

"Senior, are you from Guangxi?" Li Xu asked tentatively.

"How did you know?" Concubine Zhang was a little surprised and said with a smile.

"I just guessed." Li Xu smiled.

"By the way, I also prepared a Christmas gift for you. I wanted to give it to you tomorrow, but now that I've met you, it's easier." Liang Hui said, handing a shopping bag in her hand to Li Xu.

"Thank you!" Li Xu reached out and took the bag.

Liang Hui glanced at him, then said with a hint of complaint: "When are you going to record the song? It's been delayed for so long."

Zhang Jieyu beside her also looked at Li Xu with interest, and seemed to be very interested in him.

Liang Hui had contacted the producer and recording studio a week or two ago, but Li Xu was always unable to spare the time, so the matter remained delayed.

Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "Next Saturday, I have something to do these two days."

Liang Hui listened, nodded and said, "Then it's settled. I'll set the time with the producer, and you can't change your mind."

After the two sides chatted for a few more sentences, Liang Hui took Zhang Jieyu's arm and left together.

Seeing Liang Hui and the other person walking away, Luo Jiahui curled her lips, averted her gaze, and turned to Li Xu with a bit of jealousy and said, "You also gave her a holiday gift?"

"It's just an apple." Li Xu said casually.

"What did she give you?" Luo Jiahui said, taking the shopping bag from Li Xu, opening it, and found that there was a nice-looking sweater inside, which must have been quite expensive.

"Sweater? How did Liang Hui know your size?" She looked at Li Xu suspiciously.

"How would I know? Maybe he just bought it randomly." Li Xu had an expression of "How would I know?"

"Tsk, just pretend." Luo Jiahui snorted, her face full of disbelief.

What annoyed her the most was that there were too many beautiful girls around Li Xu, and today there appeared another one called Zhang Jieyu.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you to the church to receive the gifts." Li Xu smiled, took Luo Jiahui's hand, and led her forward.

After leaving Block 1912, Li Xu took Luo Jiahui in a taxi to the church on Mochou Road.

The distance is very close, only two or three kilometers, and it only takes five or six minutes by taxi.

After arriving at the church, we found that there were quite a lot of people participating in the event. The church was crowded and there was a long line outside.

Not all of these people came to receive Christmas gifts. Many of them were religious believers who came specifically to listen to the hymns.

Li Xu and Luo Jiahui waited in line for more than an hour and each received a small gift, including a scarf, a greeting card, and a gospel flyer.

In fact, if it weren't for accompanying Luo Jiahui, Li Xu would not have wasted time to get these things.

In fact, if he didn't have a girlfriend, he wouldn't celebrate Christmas Eve or Christmas at all.

There's nothing I can do about it, girls all like to celebrate this kind of festival.

After receiving the gifts, it was already past 9 o'clock. Li Xu did not accompany Luo Jiahui to continue shopping, but took her back to the Normal University in a taxi.

That’s right, it’s Normal University, not Elite College.

In the past few days, Li Xu took Luo Jiahui to experience all the better hotels in Xianlin University Town, and finally found that the one with the best environment was the Xianlin Hotel on the campus of Normal University.

It is a quasi-three-star hotel. Not only does it have good facilities, but because it is located in a university, the staff is relatively simple and there are not many messy people.

The taxi stopped at the east gate of Normal University. After getting off, Li Xu held Luo Jiahui's hand and walked slowly towards the hotel.

The East Gate is only one or two hundred meters away from Xianlin Hotel, and we arrived there quickly.

However, after arriving at the hotel entrance, Li Xu suddenly stopped and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Luo Jiahui couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing." Li Xu withdrew his gaze.

He had a feeling that he was being watched, but when he looked around, he didn't see anyone suspicious.

"Let's go in." After Li Xu said that, he took Luo Jiahui into the hotel.
