Chapter 1394: She Wanted To Start A Company
When saying so, Xixi was quite calm, without many emotional changes on her face. It seemed that she and Jiang Cheng had passed the hot love period; they were more like husband and wife now.
He Xiyan was a little relieved. In fact, she was mainly worried about her daughter being cheated emotionally.
But hearing her daughter saying so, she believed that this boy should be sincere and persistent.
“Which stage are you in now?” He Xiyan asked again. She didn’t ask directly for fear that his daughter would feel embarrassed.
Xixi looked at her mother doubtfully and frowned. She did not seem to understand.
“What is ‘stage’?” She asked in reply.
He Xiyan blushed with embarrassment.
“It’s whether you have… have made…”
However, before He Xiyan finished, Xixi interrupted her.
“Mom, don’t you thnk too much?”
Xixi exhaled a sigh. Was her mother’s menopause coming? Why was she more and more nagging, and always treating her like a child?
“We’ve lived together.”
Xixi didn’t bother to cover up anything and spoke out directly.
She did not seem to think it as anything shameful.
(He Xiyan)…
He Xiyan’s hand, resting on the sofa, quivered slightly.
She seemed to be hit by something on the head so that there were a lot of little yellow stars surging in front of her eyes.
She opened her mouth without saying anything for a long time.
Her daughter was living with that guy! They have come to this point.
“By the way, ma, I want to set up a film and television company after graduation. I’m afraid my father won’t agree. Do advise him to give me financial support, will you?”
Xixi hugged her mother’s arm and smiled expectantly. Just like when she was young, she nestled in her mother’s arms.

It was not so much asking her mother for help as playing coquettish.
She had talked about it with her father on the phone before, but he didn’t say yes. Her father listened to her mother most, so she could only take a chance from my mother.
He Xiyan looked at her only daughter doubtfully. “Why do you want to start a film and television company?” She asked.
Ye family already had Huayang Film and Television Company, which ranked in the top five nationwide. But Xixi’s grandfather then gave the company to Ye Zhe, so Ye Zhe was now in charge of its business while Ye Hao held 20% of the stock of Huayang Film and Television.
There was no need for Ye family to start another film and television company.
Moreover, her daughter was still so young with no work experience. If she ventured to invest in the entertainment field, she was afraid that the money would only be wasted.
He Xiyan knew clearly that this was a bad investment, not that she didn’t trust her daughter, but that her daughter really needed experience.
Xixi glanced at a picture in her room not far away. It was drawn when she was a child, which was of her dancing on the stage.
Every little girl wished to be a dazzling star when she grew up. She, although hadn’t dreamed of becoming a star, liked the fashion industry.
“Mom…” She looked at her mother again, holding her shoulder with one hand. “Just promise me. Don’t you and dad hope that I can exercise more. I just want to experience the process of starting my own business.”
Xixi hugged her mother’s neck like a coquettish little girl.
She knew that her mother was soft-hearted. If she asked her mother for help, she would definitely agree. But dad is different. Dad was a cunning old man. He will regard it as a kind of venture investment.
Sure enough, it worked.

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
