The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 25 What’s the price?

Of course, Liu Xiaoli is an adult after all. After several years of simulation, she has noticed the trend of the People's Artist sliding towards the direction of an actor, and this process is quite fast.

There is no doubt that it was this trend that made her idea fail, because she had no solution.

So for now, I can only continue to find ways to make money and save up, and then carefully educate my daughter. No matter what, she must not become a person with no image in the future.

Thanks to the existence of the simulation system, Liu Xiaoli was able to perceive Liu Xixi's psychological changes in advance and adjust her own state, being strict when necessary and kind when necessary.

So far, things have been...pretty good? Anyway, in the simulated future, even though the endings weren't great, there were still some changes in my daughter.

The pressure is all on Liu Xiaoli.

"It would be nice if there was someone who could share the burden." Liu Xiaoli sighed as she cleaned the house.

She was not a strong person to begin with, so she got the simulation system. She wanted to avoid that terrible future, so she had to take a chance. It was normal for her to want to find someone to rely on because of the great pressure.

However, it's not like she hasn't simulated it before. There's only one person who might be able to help her, and the others are either bastards or assholes. But this one person can help her...

Liu Xiaoli deliberately threw the still damp sheets into the bathtub filled with water, changed her clothes, and became dignified again. She went downstairs to have lunch and then began to focus on her own affairs.

Actually, it’s nothing. The key things have been discussed yesterday. What we need to do today is to confirm. In addition to the delivery of new short-term positions, the most important thing is the procedures for immigration to Hong Kong.

That's right, Liu Xiaoli plans to take her daughter to Hong Kong, not to some simulated future America. After seeing pictures of the LGBT parade and the Paris Olympics with the Green Lion Spirit, the European and American filters have become shattered for her.

No matter what, normal people admire only the strong, not the abnormal.

What's more, Liu Xiaoli grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, and some things are more or less ingrained in her bones.

In this way, coupled with the changes in the relationship between China and the United States over the past thirty years, and the troubles that can and cannot be said due to my daughter's unfortunate American nationality, I decided to just forget it.

However, it is somewhat inappropriate to keep their household registration in the country. Although they are not orphans and widows, if they cannot change certain things in the future, some things will still be very difficult. Hong Kong citizenship is somewhat of a way out.

After much deliberation and comparison, Liu Xiaoli decided to go to Hong Kong. After all... she has returned, hasn't she?

Fortunately, it is not difficult to obtain Hong Kong citizenship at present. You only need to have assets of HK$100 million, and HSBC also handles this kind of business. However, after the formalities are completed, you still have to go to Hong Kong for a visit.

"Finally, another problem has been solved." After returning to the Peace Hotel in the evening, Liu Xiaoli said to herself as she lay limp on the bed.

The emptiness of having accomplished something so important left her feeling somewhat lost. Subconsciously, she thought back to last night. That handsome face reappeared in her mind, and the babbling voice seemed to ring in her ears. After all, it had been several years...

However, Liu Xiaoli had been tempered after all, and she quickly controlled herself and made a decision that she didn't know whether to regret or not: when she went to bed tonight, she would simulate it on the premise that "she would definitely go find that little bastard in the future."

So when she woke up the next day, she stared at the ceiling for a long moment before turning over and burying her head in the pillow and sobbing, "What a sin... How could I be involved with Xu Jiuyang again..."

Unlike the previous two, Liu Xiaoli didn't want anything to do with Xu Jiuyang at all, because... it was too shameful. It wasn't, or rather, it wasn't just the shame she'd felt during the initial simulation, it was a kind of... she couldn't really explain it, but she would never admit that the woman in the future was herself.

The words between the lines revealed that she was like a little girl who was blinded by love, but she was actually jealous, and with herself... Oh my God, this is simply...

The most troublesome thing is that I am normal at other times, but as soon as that guy is involved, I immediately become abnormal.

So, even though Xu Jiuyang got the first medium to low ending and obtained a skill called "Quit While You're At It", she still decided to stay away from him in the future.

When you're ahead, quit: When you're gambling, you can trust your intuition most of the time.
That's why she took her daughter to Beihai Park for a walk after seeing the keyword, to find him and stay away from him.

As for those endings, they can all make money by relying on the system to trade stocks, and there may be better ones in the future. She really doesn't believe that she has to hang herself on a tree.

In a sense, this is also a manifestation of the strength of a mother.

Then, until yesterday, no, until the night before yesterday, everything was going pretty smoothly. Even though the simulated outcomes still had many bad or lower-middle outcomes, and the only ones that could be rated as lower-middle were still those related to Xu Jiuyang, at least I had earned more than 10 million yuan.

Liu Xiaoli firmly believed that once she earned 10 million US dollars, she would be able to create a brand new future. But the night before last, she fell into the hands of a little boy, and this little boy was the one she wanted to avoid as much as possible.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but after the simulation last night, she not only got a mediocre result, but also gained one and a half new skills!
Know when to quit and strengthen: When gambling on luck, you can trust your intuition most of the time, and you can trust it completely when you are with Xu Jiuyang.

Like a Fish in Water (Special Attack): A fish should swim freely in water, so that it can maintain its best appearance.

Although it is still unclear what the second skill is used for, and it took me a long time to figure out the rules for the first skill and when to stop, it is definitely very useful.

But, what is the price?

"It's okay, it's not mandatory. You don't have to be tied to him." Liu Xiaoli got up and ate some biscuits, using sweets to relieve the tension, and said to herself comfortingly.

Although the first skill is not particularly convenient to use, there will always be two or three inaccuracies out of ten times. She has indeed suffered losses before, but relying on the rules she has summarized, she has accumulated her current wealth. So as long as you are not greedy and are careful, there will be no problem.

But, thinking back on what happened the night before... this was just a rehearsal! Even now, she knew who that little bastard was, but she still couldn't hate him.

"Calm down, you have a backup plan, remember, you have a backup plan..." Liu Xiaoli continued to comfort herself.

That's true. After being tricked twice by the "quit while you're ahead" strategy, she's learned to keep a backup plan, but...

"One isn't enough. Let me think... Well, we need to get the shell film and television company up and running... Sign a few future female stars... But as for connections... Well, sign people from Beijing Film Academy, cooperate with them... Then run a simulation..." Liu Xiaoli paced around the room, "As long as... As long as..."

As long as I don't involve my daughter, if I can't escape... then I can't escape...

Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped and showed a hesitant look: "Lingfei... Erfei..."
