N-M Chapter 42: The Opening of a Media Company
Chapter 42: The Opening of a Media Company
Cheng Ning's cheeks immediately flushed red.
"What nonsense are you spouting? What brother-in-law? What marriage?"
Wu Xiaomeng asked doubtfully, "A brother-in-law is a brother-in-law, you and your brother-in-law are definitely going to get married, are you planning to date for the rest of your life?"
Cheng Ning murmured, "You've misunderstood. Lu Ran and I are just..."
Cheng Ning originally wanted to say that they were just friends, but now she didn't even believe her own explanation.
They're just friends. Friends can hang out together every day, eat together, watch movies together, and exercise together in the morning.
Normal couples probably don't act like this.
Wu Xiaomeng didn't mind, just thinking that Sister Ning was too shy.
Wu Xiaomeng sat down on the sofa and picked up an apple to eat.
"Brother-in-law, are you going to see a movie with Ning-jie this afternoon?"
Wu Xiaomeng saw two movie tickets on the sofa and immediately guessed that her brother-in-law and Ning were planning to go out on a date that afternoon.
Cheng Ning was still thinking about how to explain when Lu Ran laughed and said, "Yes, I'll buy you one later too, let's go together."
Cheng Ning was embarrassed and anxious, thinking to herself, "How can Lu Ran be so shameless? He actually accepted being called my brother-in-law."
At this moment, Wu Xiaomeng tactfully said with a smile, "Forget it, I won't be a third wheel. You don't need to worry about me. I'll go out and explore by myself. It's my first time in Chengjiang, so I need to get to know it properly."
Cheng Ning shook her head and said, "How can that be? Xiao Meng, just listen to... Lu Ran. We'll do it together later."
Seeing that Cheng Ning had said so, Wu Xiaomeng didn't refuse anymore and agreed.
It's already noon, time for lunch.
So Cheng Ning told Wu Xiaomeng to sit down while she turned and went into the kitchen to cook.
Seeing this, Lu Ran also got up and went into the kitchen, skillfully cooking with Cheng Ning.
Wu Xiaomeng leaned back on the sofa, looking at the scene in the kitchen, and couldn't help but sigh, "They're all so good at managing their finances. Sister Ning even gets shy when she talks about her brother-in-law. Sigh, I'm so envious."
After the meal, Lu Ran cleared the dishes, but instead of letting Cheng Ning do it, he let her sit and chat with Wu Xiaomeng.
After cleaning up the dishes, Lu Ran was about to go out and ask the two of them if they wanted to order anything to drink.
He had just stepped out of the kitchen when the system notification appeared.
[Heartbeat Challenge - Speed Edition]
[Task deadline: 10 minutes.]
[Reward: 500 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
Lu Ran was bewildered and said, "Wait, you're asking me to take on this now? My cousin is still here."
[With someone around, the host might find it easier to complete the challenge.]
Lu Ran: ......
Actually, what the system said doesn't seem to be wrong.
Lu Ran crossed his arms and thought for a while when his phone rang; it was an alarm clock.
He specially set an alarm to remind Cheng Ning to do brain massage every day, as she was about to go abroad for surgery and definitely needed to rest well.
He had given Cheng Ning a massage once before, but ever since then, Cheng Ning has refused to let him do it again.
Lu Ran didn't insist.
After glancing at the challenge task issued by the system, Lu Ran blinked and then walked to the sofa in the living room.
"Xiaomeng, you said you're planning to intern in Chengjiang, have you found a job yet?"
"Not yet, Sister Ning. Take your time looking, I'm not in a hurry."
"Oh, okay, I'll help too..."
Cheng Ning was speaking when her voice suddenly stopped.
At that moment, a pair of large hands pressed down on her head and began to gently massage her.
Who else could it be but Lu Ran?
Cheng Ning, embarrassed and flustered, asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ran coughed and said, "Yeah, isn't it time for the massage? You can talk to yourselves, don't worry about me."
Cheng Ning blushed and pushed his hand away: "Xiao Meng is here."
Wu Xiaomeng instantly transformed into a spectator, excitedly saying, "It's okay, it's okay, Sister Ning, just pretend I don't exist."
"Brother-in-law is so good, Sister Ning, you are so lucky."
"Lu Ran".
Cheng Ning's neck turned red, but when she called out, she found that Lu Ran showed no sign of stopping, and she was both ashamed and annoyed.
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the challenge.]
[Gained 500 treasure chest experience points.]
[Congratulations, host, you have triggered a 12x experience bonus, gaining 6000 treasure chest experience points.]
[Current stored treasure chest experience points: 6780.]
Lu Ran was stunned. The reward of 500 experience points had actually triggered a critical hit, and it was even 12 times the amount. This was the biggest doubling ever.
Lu Ran was very happy; now he could open treasure chests again.
Although he was very excited, Lu Ran did not stop massaging Cheng Ning.
Half an hour later.
Lu Ran, who had been "kicked" out by Cheng Ning, happily returned to his room.
He hasn't opened any treasure chests for many days.
"System, open the King's Treasure Chest."
【Ding! 】
[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host! You have opened the King's Treasure Chest and received 50 million yuan in cash. The payment has been transferred to your account. Please check.]
"I'll use the first one as a mat."
Having just won a super prize, Lu Ran is currently in a calm and unhurried state of mind.
"System, continue, King's Treasure Chest."
【Ding! 】
[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host! You have opened the King's Treasure Chest and received 200 million yuan in cash. The payment has been transferred to your account. Please check.]
"200 million, not bad."
"continue."
Lu Ran opened two more King's Treasure Chests in a row, with average luck, getting a Land Rover and a Rolex watch worth 35 yuan.
"Why is it always the same old stuff? Can't you come up with something new?"
The treasure chest contained far more than just these items, which puzzled Lu Ran. Why were there always money, cars, or watches?
"System, continue, open the King's Treasure Chest."
【Ding! 】
[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host! You have opened the King's Treasure Chest and obtained an MCN company. Company location: Chengjiang City. Company size: Medium-sized, annual revenue exceeding 10 billion yuan. Company name: Shangyou Media.]
[The company's legal representative has registered the host's information. The host is requested to go to the company within one month to complete the handover. After the handover is completed, the host can officially become the company's de facto owner.]
Lu Ran was shocked.
I didn't expect to find something so special right after I finished complaining.
Good grief, a media company.
Lu Ran quickly picked up his phone and searched for information about the company.
A search revealed that although the company was not well-known, it was indeed of a certain size.
The company has thousands of live streamers and has also trained many actors for short dramas and web series.
Suddenly going from being unemployed to becoming the boss of a company, Lu Ran felt a little strange.
There was a mix of trepidation and anticipation.
After scrolling through company information for nearly an hour, Lu Ran finally put down his phone to calm himself down.
A few minutes later, Lu Ran silently told himself.
He needs to stay calm; there will definitely be even greater wealth to come in the future, and he needs to adapt to this kind of life.
A few more minutes passed.
Lu Ran calmly said to the system, "System, continue, open the King's Treasure Chest."
After starting a company, it was obvious that their luck ran out.
The last King's Treasure Chest was a huge win, worth 10 RMB in cash.
But these six unboxings were better than all of Lu Ran's previous unboxings combined. After all, they had opened up a company, and achieving an annual revenue of at least 10 million yuan was no joke.
