At the beginning of 2008, there was a cold winter.

Even in Guangdong Province, the temperature is much lower than usual.

For this cold winter, Yan Xin's impression in his previous life was too deep.

At the beginning, the impression was about himself, at that time he was still working as a security guard in Fengxiang City, because at the end of the year, some security guards resigned and went home, some security guards took leave to go home, and the remaining employees could only work in two shifts, 12 hours a day.

At that time, it was better to work the day shift, but the night shift was simply tormenting, and it was useless to wear a military coat issued by the company, and when the wind blew outside, it was cold to the bones, and it was useless to wear any clothes.

At that time, I felt that it was too hard to go to work, and I thought about whether to quit and go home to farm - I can't make money from farming, but no matter what, I can keep food and clothing, and my time is still free, and I don't have to be controlled by others.

Just think about that dilapidated house, think about the embarrassing days of being penniless, think of living with his father every day, how boring life must be?

So, in the end, I dispelled that thought.

Later, the heavy snow collapsed the old house and injured his father.

At that time, he couldn't even go home because the traffic was paralyzed.

His father was sent to the hospital by someone from the government.

I didn't go home until after the Spring Festival.

That year, he had a deep understanding of what it meant to make matters worse.

So much so that in the rest of my life, I have a special fear of the cold.

But I don't have that much to worry about in this life.

The living conditions have become different, the place where he lives is equipped with air conditioning, and he feels that it is cold to turn on the air conditioner to heat up.

And he doesn't need to work the night shift, not even the day shift, and he won't be shivering in the cold wind like in his previous life, and he has to patrol back and forth.

His father's side is not so worried.

It was a new house, so sturdy that it was impossible to be overwhelmed by snow.

What he is most worried about now is that under the ice and snow, his father will slip and fall when he goes out to work, so he may be injured.

But it will not be as dangerous as in the previous life.

He called home several times, that is, he said that he should not go out to work when the weather is cold, especially in ice and snow weather.

He doesn't just tell his dad, he tells his stepmom.

is so far away, he can't supervise his father, but Wu Xiuhong can supervise it.

He made such a request, and Wu Xiuhong would be taken to heart.

He is still confident in this.

This self-confidence comes from nothing else, but from his family status, of which he is now the breadwinner.

Not only will the two old ones rely on him to support their old age in the future, but even Bai Xiaoling, the little one, will also rely on him to help in the future.

With such an ability, you have a status that matches this ability, and you can also be valued when you speak.

His words may not be of much use to his father, because it is his own father.

But in Wu Xiuhong's place, it will still be executed.

What he is most worried about now is not this snow disaster, but that there are already two people who know his relationship with Alili who know his relationship with Feng Xi, does this mean that the happy time when he stepped on two boats is about to pass?

Even if these two people don't tell Arily, but now two people know, so what about the future?

The number of people who know will only grow.

If Alili goes to the capital with him one day, or Feng Xi comes to Yangcheng to look for him one day, this matter will also be exposed.

In that case, there is no way to hide it.

It's still a headache to think about.

- Although he knew that this matter could not be concealed all the time, and sooner or later it would be revealed, he was already mentally prepared.

But when it comes to the end, I still can't help but worry.

He knew the personalities of both women, and it was impossible to make such a principled compromise on feelings.

If the matter is revealed, he feels that the relationship with these two women will most likely come to an end.

The best outcome is that someone forgives him and will choose to continue.

It is impossible for both to forgive him and accept the existence of the other.

It is more likely that neither of them will forgive him and will choose to leave him.

That's not what he was hoping for.

What to do after it happens, and who to retain, is really a big question.

At least for now, he didn't answer.

He was also afraid of the day when he would give an answer.

Just like everyone knows that people will die after all, but when that day comes, they still can't help but be afraid.

No matter how much mental preparation you make, it doesn't make much sense.

On January 3, after having lunch at Ai Jing's, Yan Xin drove back to Yangcheng with Ai Lili.

Life is still the same as before, but Yan Xin has some more worries in his heart.

It's getting colder.

It's better in the north, the winter is already cold there, and the people who live there are used to that kind of temperature, so it's not too much of a problem to go a little lower.

But not so much in the South.

The weather in the south is relatively warm, and in some places people have never seen snow in their lives.

The temperature is a few degrees lower than usual, and the feeling is completely different.

That's really unbearable.

It was unprepared, unprepared, cold, and it caught people off guard.

There was no trouble for Yan Xin in life.

However, as the cold snap became stronger and stronger, a large area of traffic in the south was paralyzed, and some places even fell into a large-scale power outage, which affected the data of online sales.

In the north there is not much of a problem, in the south it is too big.

Jinxi e-commerce company has opened several online stores, and has also spent a lot of money on promotion, and business is getting better and better.

But this time, the cold snap came, and a large area was paralyzed, which made many places unable to mail, and there were several provinces that could not place orders.

This naturally affects sales performance.

Entering January, because of logistics problems, the sales data of Jinxi e-commerce company fell by more than ten percentage points compared with last month.

It stands to reason that shopping should be more popular at the end of the year.

When this happens, it's because of the weather.

Gu Ru's first solo album was also sold on the Internet, and it has been put on pre-sale before it has been produced.

There is also no way to guarantee that the goods will be sent out before the Spring Festival, which has triggered some chargebacks.

Fortunately, Yan Xin had known about this situation for a long time, and he also made some responses, and the record factory he chose was from the capital, and most of the regions were not affected.

January 25th is the day they are scheduled to release the album.

The pre-sale data counted on January 20 has a total of more than 200,000 tickets.

Originally, they decided to issue 100,000 copies, but they felt that this number should not be much risk, and they would not lose much.

Jinxi E-commerce Company's Nishang Feather Clothing Store also sponsored this record, and the reward was that the record was accompanied by more than a dozen photos taken by Gu Ru wearing their Hanfu, and the name and URL of the online store were also pasted, which was an advertisement.

With this sponsorship fee, as long as the 100,000 records can sell 20,000 or 30,000 copies, they will not lose money.

I didn't expect that there would be more than 200,000 pre-sales.

It was unexpected.

Originally, only 100,000 records were prepared, but 200,000 were added later, making a total of 300,000 records.

It's just that there are some chargebacks later.

By January 25, more than 200,000 tickets had been pre-sold, and the total number was even nearly 10,000 fewer than before.

But there is no pressure on them, there is no loss if the backlog of tens of thousands of records cannot be sold, the production cost is not reflected in the final printing, if it is just a disc, there is no cost, and tens of thousands of more copies will not cause any losses, basically negligible.

According to industry practice, more than 200,000 sales data is written as an advertorial, that is, 500,000 starts.

And it's also a sensational "500,000 copies sold on the first day".

- Yes, on January 25, such an advertorial appeared in entertainment newspapers and entertainment news on several radio and television stations that night.

This is building momentum for Gu Ru.

It is to draw a successful end to her last performance career, and at the same time, it is also to add some value to her, create a character of a mainland music diva, and get more and better performance opportunities and advertising endorsement opportunities.

It's just the last month, and Gu Ru also wants to catch more.

The sales of her solo album is a big proof of her powerful position in the music industry, and it is also the most powerful evidence.

Making false propaganda on record sales is not the first of Starlight Entertainment, it is the entire industry that does this.

Putting aside those false ones, let's just talk about the real sales, this data is also excellent.

The main reason is that she can play these songs, and each one has the strength to be the title song.

Although it is the first solo album, this quality is more selective than the compilation.

More than a dozen highly sung classic songs are integrated into a record, and the original singer is still her, which is quite attractive to fans.

There is an even bigger reason, and that is that there is no piracy yet.

All of them are sold online, and they are sold by pre-sale a month in advance.

Before the arrival of January 25th, there was no such record on the market, and there was no way to pirate it.

- Although some pirated copies are pirated by the original record studios themselves, but now the records are not officially sold, and they come out to pirate, which is a bit too much, and people don't want to make the food so ugly.

These songs of hers have been found on the Internet for a long time, and there are many downloads, as well as various platter records.

But at that time, the conditions were limited, the production was simple, there was not much investment, and the quality was not very good, just the quality of ordinary Internet songs.

The quality of the pirated records based on that version is naturally not much better, a strong copycat style.

And this solo album, she was in the best state, invited a first-class production team, rearranged the music, and it took nearly a month to complete the production.

Each song has a half-minute of content on the Internet, and the auditory effect is completely different, and it goes directly to the next level.

This naturally attracted many fans who were willing to spend one or two dozen yuan to buy such a high-quality album.

Among the more than 200,000 sales, users of Starlight Network accounted for more than half.

Gu Ru is the first sister of Starlight Entertainment Company and one of the bosses, of course, the website must be vigorously promoted.

In addition, in order to make the sales data better, Gu Ru will also interact with fans on the music forum when she is free.

With her current coffee position to come to a mobile website, it can definitely cause a sensation and make a large number of people watch.

Under such publicity, it is understandable that more people are buying her albums.

This solo album is Gu Ru's first album, and it is also her final work, which is the embodiment of her dream over the years, so she attaches great importance to it.

Even if he is busy with commercial performances outside, he will ask Yan Xin for the data of online pre-sales every day.

After the number of pre-sales exceeded 100,000, she said this:

"My life is worth it! I'm worthy of my dream! I'm worthy of my youth! ”

Years of perseverance have finally paid off.

With this achievement, you can leave a deep footprint in the music world.

This is in the 21st century, when industry insiders are wailing that "the record is dead", and there are few in the entire Chinese-speaking area in a year to achieve such an achievement.

She is also worthy of pride.

This year, she didn't receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala of Brick TV Station, because she was on it last year, but not this year, which is not surprising.

She is not a related household of the Spring Festival Gala, she does not have such a network channel, and she rushed to the Spring Festival Gala by virtue of the popularity of the song.

It's not easy to be able to last year, and if you want to go to it for two years in a row, it's not yet to that point.

However, although she did not appear on the Spring Festival Gala of Brick TV, she received invitations from several satellite TV Spring Festival Galas.

Those satellite TV Spring Festival Galas have live broadcasts and recorded broadcasts, and there is no conflict in time, and the ratings over the years have always been okay.

The most important thing is that the price is quite high.

As long as the schedule can be arranged, Gu Runa will not refuse to come, and will accept the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala of the four satellite TV stations in one breath.

In addition, there are platter concerts, annual meetings of large companies, and events in large shopping malls, and there are many opportunities for performances.

At the end of the year, she received several more invitations to advertising endorsements, and she had already asked Xiao Yin to talk to the other party.

As long as she can earn money, she doesn't want to miss out.

In January, Chen Li's physical publication manuscript fee in the second half of 2007 was settled, and half was given to Yan Xin, and the remaining half was enough for him to repay the more than one million he borrowed from Gu Ru.

He even used the remaining money to buy a house of more than 100 square meters in Pengcheng, and also bought a parking space by the way.

He said to Yan Xin: "In case their mother and son don't mix well abroad and are going to return to China, this house will be given to them, then I will be considered benevolent." ”

After he and Liang Wei added back to QQ friends, they didn't have much time to chat, but Liang Wei would still take the initiative to tell him about the child - after all, he paid 200,000 US dollars.

The child has not yet been born, but the gender is already known, and it is a son.

Liang Wei also asked Chen Li what kind of name he wanted to give his son.

Chen Li replied to her: "He was born in the United States, and he will be a member of the United States in the future, you can give him the name of the United States, you are his mother, his guardian, it is up to you to decide, you don't need to ask me." ”

But when he turned around, he asked Yan Xin again:

"What do you think would be a better name if I had a son?"

Yan Xin was very strange: "Don't you don't want a son, how did you think of this problem?" ”

"Isn't there now?" Chen Li said depressedly.

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, understood what was going on, and said to him: "Then you have to think for yourself, you can't choose a name for a writer, you ask me?" Don't you think that's funny? ”

Chen Li was surprised: "What's so funny about this?" Didn't you choose the names of the main characters in my two books? ”

Yan Xin couldn't say that the name was copied by him, so he only patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully:

"I can't take away your happiness as a father, your son's name can only be taken by you."
