After a while, Jiang Qiuyun said: "Cheng, the peach blossoms in Taohua Valley should be in bloom."
Lu Cheng thought for a while, checked on his mobile phone, and said, "Only a few parts have bloomed. Shall we go back tomorrow?"
"Okay, will you treat Liu Qingcheng to dinner tonight?"
"Okay, it's better to go to the Moon Tower."
In the evening, Deyuelou, a time-honored restaurant in Suzhou.
Liu Qingcheng was invited by Jiang Qiuyun and brought her daughter Chen Yuting to the banquet.
Chen Yuting is 11 years old and 1.5 meters tall. She is almost an adult, but she is still a little girl after all.
She specially took a copy of "Ten Thousand Green Mountains" and asked Jiang Qiuyun to sign it, and also asked Lu Cheng to sign it too.
Jiang Qiuyun signed her autograph and asked, "Did you buy this book yourself?"
"The teacher recommended it, and my mother bought it for me."
"Is it good to buy it?"
Liu Qingcheng smiled and said: "It's not easy to buy. I went to several bookstores to buy it."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "I heard from people from Sanlian Publishing House that this set of books has been reprinted three times."
Liu Qingcheng said: "Despite this, the supply still exceeds the demand! You are now a famous family in the country. It can be said that you are a household name, just as much as Qiong Yao back then."
"Totaling up my short and long stories, I have only written ten books in total. Qiong Yao has written 42, and if you include movie scripts and TV scripts, there are even more."
"But you are younger than Qiong Yao, and you still have a long time to come."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled slightly and thought to herself: "In terms of word count, I have surpassed Qiong Yao. The average length of my several novels is 5 million words. The "Mingyue Shuangxi Shui" I am writing is expected to exceed 10 million words. In comparison, Qiong Yao Most of them are in the hundreds of thousands of words.”
To be honest, there is a big gap between the Internet and the physical world. Back then, Qiong Yao probably wrote by hand. How many words could she write in a day? Jiang Qiuyun can write 150,000 words in five hours by typing on the keyboard. If she works hard, she can write 300,000 words in a day.
Chen Yuting asked: "Brother Lu Cheng, many of my classmates want to know, why did you only participate in the Olympics once and then quit sports?"
Lu Cheng said with a smile: "There are endless masters. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. A new generation replaces the old ones. China can get enough gold medals without my intervention."
"Brother Lu Cheng, the teacher taught us, 'If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, you can carve gold and stone'."
"Haha, haha... I gave up halfway!"
"Tingting, don't talk nonsense!"
"It's okay. Tong Yanwuji, I don't care."
After a while, the table was filled with dishes, and everyone was eating and talking.
Liu Qingcheng said: "A few days ago, someone broke into Qiucheng Garden, but did not find any valuables and left quietly."
Lu Cheng said: "There are no valuables in Qiucheng Garden. Even though I am on the rich list, I am actually very poor. I have neither cash nor gold, silver or jewelry at home. I still owe people more than 10 billion!"
He put all the valuables in the jade ring. He kept the jade in a cave more than 100 meters deep in Taohua Valley, and kept the cash in a big bank. Only the furniture in Qiu Chengyuan's home was of some value.
Liu Qingcheng added: "I have asked someone to plant new varieties of mulberry saplings, but the old mulberry trees have not been cut down. Someone has reserved mulberry leaves for this year."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "I understand. I'll leave this matter to you. Your work has increased, and I will give you a salary increase of 10,000 yuan per month!"
"Ah? Thank you very much!" Liu Qingcheng was overjoyed. She is a professional woman with a master's degree and is proficient in English and French. She once worked in a well-known technology company and was sent overseas for several years. She only left the workplace because she got married and had children, and later changed her career to a personal housekeeper. With her ability, managing 22 acres of mulberry forest is a piece of cake.
Lu Cheng took out a small white jade bracelet, placed it on the table, and said to Liu Qingcheng, "This is for your daughter."
Liu Qingcheng said: "It's too valuable! Take it back!"
Lu Cheng said: "This is not an ordinary jade bracelet. I carved an amulet on it. If you put it on her, it will protect her safety."
"Oh, that's even more precious!" Liu Qingcheng stopped refusing and picked up the bracelet and put it on her daughter: "It's a pity, Tingting's wrist is too thin, so this bracelet can only be worn for two years."
Lu Cheng said: "In two years, I will change you to one with a larger ring."
"I can't thank you enough." Her thoughts were all on her daughter. When she got the amulet, she was moved beyond words.
Lu Cheng said, "Did you know? When the amulets came out, they could only sell for 100 million yuan each! Now, there are too many amulets, and the country has provided amulets for all military and police. So this thing is worthless."
Liu Qingcheng said: "Even so, we are civilians. We don't have police officers in our families, so we don't have access to amulets."
In fact, the information Lu Cheng knew was inaccurate. The state equipped the military and police with amulets, which were only worn when on duty and had to be taken back normally.
Moreover, the protective strength of the amulets made by the state is not very strong, and there is a gap between the amulets made by Lu Cheng himself.
When Lu Cheng made the amulet, he chose high-grade jade and used the micro-carving technique to carve several runes.
For this reason, the wealthy people who bought his amulet did not regret it after comparing the effect of the amulet.

While he was eating here, the three employees in the desert were still making rune bombs. The two young people didn't care too much, but the old man among them, named "Xu Hengmin", was already very upset.
Xu Hengmin is a retired expert from a certain arsenal. He was hired to study rune bombs. He originally thought it was a fool's errand, but he came because of the monthly salary of 300,000 yuan. When he developed a grenade with a radius of 70 meters, he wanted to report it to the government. , but being in the desert, there is no mobile phone signal, and it is difficult to go out and call the police. He was afraid that if the news leaked out, he would be murdered by two young men, so he never had the chance to report it.
This time, seeing the explosives with a radius of 700 meters being produced, Xu Hengmin was anxious and anxious!
"What the hell, it's not even a grenade! It's close to a tactical nuclear weapon! If something goes wrong, your head will definitely be lost!"
He finally couldn't help it anymore and said to the two young men: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, do you know? Illegal production of explosives, and making so many and so powerful, is a capital crime!"
Xiao Wang looked up at him and said: "Mr. Xu, you can't report it! I have been here for one year and two months, earning 300,000 yuan a month, and I have already earned 4.2 million yuan! I will get double the bonus afterwards. , by then, I will be a multi-millionaire! If you report it, not only will I not get the money, but I will also be put in jail! You ruined my dream, and I won’t make it easy for you!"
Xu Hengmin said with a grimace: "But this is a serious crime after all! Think about it, if these bombs explode, how many people will be killed!"
Another Xiao Li sneered: "Hmph, do you know who the 'boss' who came yesterday is? That is Lu Cheng, the seven-time Olympic champion, a celebrity on the top 100 rich list! Do you think the country will sentence him? Death penalty? I guess there is a high probability that it won’t happen! Even if he is imprisoned for ten or eight years, he can kill you and me with just one phone call from prison!"
Xiao Wang also followed: "Yes, Lu Cheng is not an ordinary person. He became a rich man at a young age. How could he be a fool? He asked us to make 100 grenades of each kind. Could it be that he expected to use these 300 grenades to rebel? If one explodes, he is the principal culprit! We are just accomplices!"
Xu Hengmin said: "But I am so worried that the grenade will explode and hurt many people. In that case, you and I will both be shot!"
"Isn't it too late for you to go out and report now? Rune grenades have been made, what else can you say? You can only lower your head, shut up, and you won't say anything about being beaten to death!"
"Mr. Xu, if you think about it carefully, if you don't report it, each of us will have more than 10 million, and we will live a very comfortable life for the rest of our lives; if you do, not only will you not be able to escape the guilt, but the money you get will be gone! Isn't that right? Working for nothing for more than a year?”
"No matter what, you can't tell anyone!"
After being persuaded by the two young men, the old man no longer dared to insist on reporting, otherwise he would not be able to get out of the desert, and he would probably be killed, buried in the sand, and eventually turn into withered bones!
"That's all, don't mention this anymore!"
