At that moment, Big Beard Liu’s face was filled with question marks. He almost suspected that he was schizophrenic.
‘What’s going on? Who in the world is doing this?
‘Why is he posting stuff onto Weibo under my account?
‘Could I have been hacked by some nosy netizen?’
After regaining his senses, he finally remembered that the most important thing to do at that moment was to change his password.
Therefore, he quickly changed his login password and deleted the Weibo post. Then, he posted a “denial” post…
This time, the netizens had confirmed that Big Beard Liu was schizophrenic. Therefore, they left comments to “comfort” Big Beard Liu, telling him not to fall sick because of the bet since it would be too severe. Instead, it would be enough for him to break one of his legs.
At that moment, Big Beard Liu was in no mood to be bothered about the netizens’ mockery because… His wife had called him.
He picked up the phone. Before his wife could say anything, he asked, “Dear, why has my card been locked? Also, did you borrow money from Little Six?”
Big Beard Liu’s wife said coldly, “Yes, I did.”
Big Beard Liu felt that something was wrong. ‘She doesn’t usually treat me like this… Why is she suddenly so cold towards me?’
So he asks, “Are you… Okay?”
His wife replied, “Of course not. Why did you change your Weibo password?”
Big Beard Liu was stunned.
Then, he began to frown which became deeper and deeper. He was no fool. On the contrary, to be able to become a good director, his IQ was definitely not low.
Previously, he had not thought in that direction. Now that his wife had given him this hint, he immediately connected all the lines.
‘The incident where my cards have been reported to be lost, my wife borrowing money everywhere, the posts on Weibo and the screenshot…’
Big Beard Liu’s heart was pounding and his blood rushed to his brain. He felt like he was going crazy. He roared, “You f*cking donated my money? 10 million yuan?!”
Big Beard Liu’s wife did not deny it. “Yes, I donated it. Just this afternoon, I donated all 10 million yuan of it, not a single cent less.”
Disbelief was written all over Big Beard Liu’s face as he roared, “Why?! Why would you do that?!”
Big Beard Liu’s wife wasn’t frightened by his outburst. She immediately shouted back, “Why? You’re asking me why I did that?! Do you not know what you’ve done last night?”
Big Beard Liu was shocked. A bucket of cold water seemed to have been poured over his head and his domineering aura weakened. He said, “Did you hear some rumors?”
Big Beard Liu’s wife chuckled, “Rumors? Do you know that you used the wrong phone number when you made your booking?! Do you know that they’ve sent me a confirmation message?! Heh, five to six people with 10 to 12 girls… You guys are really good! What else do you want to do?!”
Big Beard Liu gulped and quickly explained, “No, dear, you’ve got me all wrong. I reserved it for my friend.”
His wife chuckled. “Is that so? Did you know that I called my friend in the Imperial Capital and asked her to watch it live?”
His wife said coldly, “In fact, I did give you a chance yesterday. I was also afraid that you had reserved it for your friend, so I didn’t call to cancel the reservation. Instead, I specifically found the numbers of your bank cards and then I called them one by one and reported them to be lost. It was all so that you wouldn’t have any money to go out and mess around and also to give you a reminder.”
“In the end, what did you do? You still went without any hesitation. My friend had been recording a video in her car for the entire night, clearly showing you entering the club and then all of you exiting with two girls each.”
“I have the pictures, videos and phone records. What else do you want to say about this?”
Big Beard Liu was speechless…
‘I’m indeed the one in the wrong..
‘But… That’s no reason for her to donate my money!’
With that thought in mind, Big Beard Liu said, “Even so, you shouldn’t have donated my money!”
His wife said, “Why can’t I? What’s the point of you keeping that money? So that you can continue having an affair? You might as well contribute to those kidnapped children! Plus, that’s a donation that you should’ve done in the first place!”
The more his wife talked, the angrier she got. In the end, she exploded, “Liu Yu! You’d better start being more charitable! When you come back, we’re getting a divorce!”
After saying that, his wife hung up the phone with a bang.
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Big Beard Liu stared blankly at the hotel room.
After a while, he let out a loud “Ah!” and smashed his phone onto the ground!
With a “Bang”, his phone broke into pieces!
Due to this sudden incident, Big Beard Liu was no longer in the mood to film. He applied for leave from the crew and flew home overnight.
After returning home, the couple had a huge fight over the donation. However, since the money had already been donated, there was no way to return it. Therefore, Big Beard Liu could only accept this to be a fact.
However, what made his head hurt even more was that his wife had even mortgaged their house to a loan shark just to make up for the 10 million yuan, which made him feel that it was really unbelievable.
However, his wife also said that women were very vengeful. After being betrayed, it was not strange for them to do anything extreme. If it was not for the fact that Big Beard Liu was not by her side at the time, she would have cut off his penis with a knife! Therefore, letting him off with a donation was going easy on him!
Hearing his wife’s words, Big Beard Liu felt a chill down his spine. At the same time, he decided not to provoke this woman again.
After leaving home and carrying his things to the hotel, Big Beard Liu began to consider the aftermath of this matter.
‘Other than having to pay the loan sharks back as soon as possible, I should probably explain on Weibo that I’ve really made a donation and show them the receipt for it.
‘After all, I’m a member of the entertainment industry, so I really need the audience’s recognition and popularity. Previously, I didn’t think that those things were worth 10 million yuan, but now that I’ve already donated the money, I’ve got to make a name for myself anyhow!’
With that thought in mind, he posted another Weibo post saying that he had actually donated the money. The Weibo posts that said that he had not donated were the ones that had been posted by the hacker. The screenshots of his donations were also deleted by the person who had hacked into his account.
After posting on Weibo, Big Beard Liu felt that he was smart! ‘I’m a genius!’
But, there is a story called “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” where the first time the boy shouted that there was a wolf, someone believed him. On the second time, someone still believed him. However, on the third time, no one believed him anymore.
This was especially so when he had said that he would donate the money and even refute the rumors later on. Hence, no one knew which of his posts were real and which ones were fake. They even thought that that very post might also be declared to be posted by a hacker again.
Therefore, the netizens had no desire to reply to him. Even if they did, they only did so to mock him.
‘I’m willing to bet a spicy stick that this Weibo post will be deleted in five minutes.’
‘I’ll bet a bouncy ball that it’ll get deleted in three minutes.
‘The two of you are going too far with this, Director Liu has already donated 10 million yuan three times, totalling up to 30 million yuan, yet you guys are still using him in your bets. You’re going too far!’
‘Agreed. You could make a bet if you want to, but the stakes have to be 10 million yuan. However, don’t you say that you’ll only pay one-tenth of the amount after you lose, you’ll only become a laughingstock.’
These sarcastic remarks made Big Beard Liu’s face turn red and white. He then recalled how his wife’s first donation post was filled with praises and he almost vomited blood!
There was only one thought in his mind. ‘If I had known that this would be the outcome, I wouldn’t have deleted the first post. No… If I had known that this would be the outcome, I wouldn’t have made this bet with Su Yang!’
Su Yang was watching the entire scene. The main reason was that the little loudspeaker, Little Deeny, kept telling him about the progress of the matter. Hence, he had no choice but to listen in.
Although he did not know what Big Beard Liu had experienced, at least the outcome was decent anyhow.
‘This 10 million yuan is going to be donated to a welfare organization, I suppose this is good for those children that have been kidnapped.
‘I feel like I’ve turned into a philanthropist. However, I don’t know if I’ll be able to earn some coins or affect the number of people influenced into doing good.’
Su Yang did not know whether he could earn those things from the charity, but he knew that he could definitely earn it from his movie.
Over the past few days, with the release of “Wolf Warriors”, Su Yang’s coins and the number of people influenced for his Gold Mission had both received an explosive increase.
In just 10 days, Su Yang’s total number of coins had reached 410,000 coins, the most amount of coins he’s had till date.
On the other hand, the Gold Mission completion rate had reached more than half.
[Gold Mission: Road To Zenith (4)]
Mission Objective: Lead your business to affect a million people and make them have a positive change.
Mission completion details: 544686 / 1000000.
‘A single “Wolf Warriors” has caused the number of players involved in the Gold Mission to increase by 380,000… This is simply blinding.
‘However, I’m still not satisfied with this surge in numbers.’
The main reason for this was because he had high expectations for “Wolf Warriors”. Initially, he thought that he would be able to get a million coins from “Wolf Warriors” and complete the Gold Mission in one go. However, he did not expect for it to be so difficult in the end.
However, he recalled the statistics he saw backstage. ‘”Wolf Warriors” has only been in cinemas for 10 days, yet the box office earnings have reached 580 million yuan and the number of people that’ve watched this movie has reached 23 million.
‘Of the 23 million viewers, 380,000 have been influenced, which is already out of my expectations.
‘If it wasn’t because of the fact that “Wolf Warriors” is a movie with positive energy, I think the conversion rate wouldn’t even be 1%.
‘Looks like I’ll still have to film such positively energized movies in the future. “Wolf Warriors 2” and “Wandering Planet” are good examples…
‘However, with the increase of my coins, I think I should be able to do some things that I’ve been wanting to do previously…
‘For example, I could build a [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] and a [Cellphone Development Factory]…’
The [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] was a building that appeared after the [Descent] of the virtual space. These buildings ranged from the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] to the [Cellphone Development Factory] to the [Large Ship Construction Dock] and so on.
‘I think that the most important buildings to have are the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base] and the [Cellphone Development Factory].
‘After all, they can be used together by Little Deeny.
‘With the [Satellite Launching Rocket Base], I can build my own small rocket launching base and launch independent satellites, allowing Little Deeny’s signal to spread around the world.
‘As for the [Cellphone Development Factory], Little Deeny’s 10 doppelgangers could be completely used as servers. Then, the [Glass Screen Phones] produced in the factory would replace her doppelgangers as cellphones and she will then acquire the function of interacting with the virtual space.
‘More importantly… I’ll be able to mass-produce [Glass Screen Phone] and create a revolutionary cellphone. Then, I’ll have these cellphones that Little Deeny could freely control to be scattered all over the world.’
