Chapter 254 Loophole Talent: The Additional Condition of Shame
Thinking so, Su Yang clicked on the last column of the item description to see the loophole condition.
After reading it, Su Yang felt helpless.
The difference was just too radical! Two twists in a row that literally made him feel like he was in stitches.
The very first ability was to be invisible in a raincoat on a rainy day, which was a bit of a chickensh*t ability.
The additional talent, on the other hand, was that any bad weather could be used to make a person of choice invisible. Although it couldn’t make him invisible, it could make others invisible which increased the value of the entire item by quite a bit.
However, when he saw the final loophole condition, Su Yang felt like the most frightening condition was this final twist!
(Loophole Condition: An additional condition of shame.]
Condition 1: You must be wearing a raincoat in public with no buildings around for cover in order for the ability to take effect.
Condition 2: Once condition 1 is met, throwing water at yourself would activate the ability and make it work under any weather.
Note: If you tell others you’re doing some kind of performance art, do you think anyone would believe you?
Ildi
Su Yang was speechless.
‘This piece of shit!’
So the raincoat became one that had to be worn in public, in bad weather, or with water thrown at you to designate another person to be invisible.
It was shameful indeed!
Su Yang imagined how wearing such a transparent raincoat and sitting in the square was conspicuous enough, but to have to pour water on his head to become invisible?
‘Oh my god...
Would someone take it as a mental illness and call the police to arrest him?! Su Yang covered his face, feeling like he didn’t want to use this raincoat for the rest of his life.
However, he suddenly reacted. ‘No! I’m sure I’m the one invisible! So I definitely won’t be shamed for wearing the raincoat or for having water thrown at me!
‘What’s there to be ashamed about?! The shame should fall on the one chosen by me...’
Su Yang wondered. There are a few human-looking monsters in the house. Little Deeny can’t come out to the real world, and Pool needs to open the milk tea shop. Well, it seems like Janet’s the only one left.
‘But Janet has a foreign woman’s face... If she wears a raincoat in public, would it attract attention and cause a big fuss if water was poured over her head.
Su Yang felt like it was better to give it more thought before putting it to use.
After tossing and turning all day, Su Yang felt quite tired. So, he rolled up his raincoat, went back to his room to wash up, and crawled into bed.
Meanwhile, at Qu Xiaomeng’s home.
Qu Xuan and Qu Xiaomeng were sitting on either side of the dining table, each with a bowl of noodles in clear soup in front of them, looking at each other.
Qu Xuan pointed at the bowl of noodles and said softly, “Sis! I am here at your house as a guest! That’s all you’re buying me?”
Qu Xiaomeng whispered, “At least you have food to eat! Didn’t I tell you that I’ve spent all my money... We don’t have any money while Mom and Dad are away on a trip, so we should definitely save up.”
Qu Xuan asked, “You have a lot of salary too! Where did you spend it all?” Qu Xiaomeng’s eyes looked to the sky as she giddily replied, “Don’t ask me where all the money went, I don’t know. Anyway, I’ve
spent it.”
She paused and whispered in defense, “I suspect the money ran off with their long, slender legs...”
Qu Xuan was speechless
Looking at the plain noodle in clear soup on the table that didn’t even have an egg on it, Qu Xuan smacked his lips. “Forget it, I’ll buy you a meal.”
Saying that, he whipped out his phone and prepared to order take-out.
Qu Xiaomeng brightened up. “Really?!” However, she reacted haughtily. “I thought you said you had no money of your own!” Qu Xuan was stunned and immediately tried to put the phone away. “Yes, yes. I don’t have any money.” Qu Xiaomeng narrowed her eyes and shot a glare at Qu Xuan as she snatched the phone before he could lock the screen.
Qu Xuan didn’t have time to get it back, and Qu Xiaomeng had already seen the balance in WeChat. “Yes! You still have over 20,000 yuan! You actually said you had no money!”
n
Qu Xuan coughed to hide his embarrassment,.”That, that’s the amount that I’ve been saving up. I don’t want to touch that money.”
Qu Xiaomeng complained. “But that’s a lot of money!” Qu Xuan replied, “It’s always better to be well-prepared...”
Qu Xiaomeng looked on thoughtfully, and half-heartedly reacted, pointing at Qu Xuan. “You bastard! You’ve got money and yet, you were willing to let me borrow it from Su Yang! What does this mean?!” Qu Xuan coughed a few times again. “I was just... creating opportunities for you.”
Qu Xiaomeng was speechless.
Her face flushed red. “I don’t want to fall in love with my own student!”
Qu Xuan continued with a serious tone and said long-windedly, “Sister, you really need to broaden your horizons. Don’t flip and flop without a direction. You aren’t young anymore. It’s time to think about your lifelong future.
“I’m not necessarily letting you fall in love with Su Yang. However, you’re just slightly older than that student, so you can really think about it. Since Shanghai University is also a top-tier university, those who can enter are considered young talents and are good husband candidates. There are suitable ones that you can really consider.
“Age is a problem, but a difference of three or four years is really not a problem. Especially... It’s not like you can tell on the outside.”
Qu Xiaomeng was confused by her brother’s words. That, and their bet about opening the door within 2 minutes earlier stuck Su Yang in her mind. This made her head go giddy despite already being a mess.
Their faces slowly lumped together. Qu Xiaomeng was just stunned out of her mind...
After a night of silence, Su Yang got up the next day and went to the office.
On vacation, he had gone from being a good student who occasionally went to school, to a good boss who occasionally went to the company.
After the two incidents, the cohesiveness of Qidian E-Commerce was obviously much stronger. As the boss, Su Yang held a meeting for all the employees, praising them for their recent work and telling everyone to keep up the good work and get ready! The company was about to hit the ground running and would start expanding. They’d even be setting up branches all over the place.
So, there would be lots of opportunities for promotions and raises for everyone!
The scariest thing about work was actually the lack of money, followed by the lack of upward mobility!
The company’s employees were extremely motivated when they heard that Su Yang would be increasing their salary and giving them the opportunity to be promoted!
After that, Su Yang chaired a few meetings with a few department managers and gave them the development plan he had written down for the next month of Qidian E-Commerce’s operations.
During the next month, Su Yang’s goal was to do massive advertising throughout 64 colleges and universities in Shanghai to promote the Find Me App and the work-study app. They would also be persuading students to register with their real names and use the mobile applications.
With a good base and a fashionable reputation, he believed that the Find Me app would have no problem attracting a number of college users. As long as each school had enough seed users, it was easy to push for a trend with the behavior of college students.
The work-study app, on the other hand, was going to be promoted as a must-have application. Su Yang’s strategy was to push the advertising to the max, offering the most competitive prices and services available in the market. Without a middleman to earn a cut, the work-study app would allow students to make as much profit as possible.
With the backing of the resources left by Junqing in the beginning, the work-study app now had many, many, part-time tasks for those from all walks of life. It could recommend part-time jobs related to their majors of students, helping them to have some work experience before they enter society.
After all, society was becoming more and more competitive. Some internet companies had already raised the requirements for applicants to be under 30 years old and have 20 years of work experience. If you don’t improve yourself during college, you probably wouldn’t be employed in the future.
Although Su Yang’s plan had many pitfalls, such as the various schools organizing part-time students programmes and the various school counselors who do these things, Su Yang believed that with the price and service advantage, students would make their own choices wisely.
After a day of work, Su Yang took a shower back home and lay on the sofa to watch TV. Soon, the sound of WeChat ringing in the virtual space was heard within a few minutes.
Su Yang called out an interface and saw that it was Lin Jiali.
Lin Jiali messaged. (Su Yang! You really are a psychic! My contract was indeed approved today!] Su Yang dawdled and replied, [Of course! I’m the divine calculations expert, Su Xiaoyang!] Lin Jiali sent an emoji of a cat blinking with a star shooting from its head and said, (Can you see whether my drama will be a hit again?) Su Yang was speechless.
That was too much to ask of him!
Su Yang replied, (This, I can’t do.)
Lin Jiali sent an emoji of a cat riddled with question marks on its head. (Why?]
Su Yang continued. (If I can predict the future and confirm that it’ll be a huge success, why don’t I invest in it myself?]
Lin Jiali, the comical actress, took a full minute before she replied, (Makes sense...]
Su Yang turned off the interface, not bothering to pay attention to her, and continued to watch TV. However, Su Yang found that he had been unable to watch the TV five minutes later because he was thinking about how he was going to complete that silver mission of his...
‘Ten million!
‘How do I spend it sensibly!
‘Why don’t I... Invest in a movie?’
There seemed to be a movie being planned in his own company.
With that in mind, Su Yang pulled up the information and took a closer look at the drama, which was one from Netbig. The story was about the Monkey King, Sun Wukong who was cultivating on earth in his quest for self-awareness, love, and friendship.
From the introduction, it felt that the drama was very cliché. It was obviously a romance drama with a westernized front.
‘Can this drama really be a hit?’
Su Yang felt a bit hungover.
However, Su Yang suddenly brightened up as he looked at it and he remembered where he had seen the name of this drama!
It was in the memory of Tang Dafa!
In his memories, Tang Dafa he found his friend who wanted to invest in the drama and even spent a total of almost three million dollars to get the one and a half million dollars to invest in it!
Based on his evaluation, this drama had a lot of potential. It was rated S in the IQIYI rating board, and it’s a guaranteed success. Since it was highly recommended, he was very optimistic about it.
Did this drama actually fall into his hands? This was too much of a coincidence!
However, Su Yang thought about it and felt that it made sense. Tang Dafa was one of Chen Ye’s lackeys. Master Chen and Young Master Ying were close and were from the same small circle. To add on to that, the owner of this film company was also a friend of the three, and was from the same circle. It seemed very reasonable.
Then the question arises... How was the drama doing? Was there a need for funding? What was its real quality?
Should he make a personal investment in the movie and give it a try?
