I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Jingyi went to New York, USA, to discuss cooperation projects with Time Warner. To show her sincerity, she sold the copyrights of the 21-volume set of A Song of Ice and Fire and the single volume of Life of Pi. The two works were sold for $1 billion, including the film and television rights and their peripherals.

This price is very low, and Warner Bros. can make back its investment with one Harry Potter movie. But this is also the most expensive transfer of literary and film copyrights in history, and this news was reported by media around the world.

Time Warner also reciprocated the favor by signing an agreement with Jingyi to share the databases of each other's film and music websites. The film and music websites of these two companies suddenly became the largest film and music websites in the world.

This can be regarded as Time Warner's compensation to Jingyi. Two magnificent Harry Potter theme parks, one in London and one in New York, have now been built and opened. For a time, they attracted countless tourists and Harry Potter fans to visit.

It can be said that the Harry Potter series is a cash cow for Time Warner. As the author, Jingyi received $320 million in addition to the share of the book publishing.

Time Warner probably felt that it was too greedy, and seeing Jingyi coming to discuss sharing film sources and databases, and also selling the film and television versions of two other works, it readily signed the agreement.

Jingyi also returned with a full load! With Warner Online as a foundation, the number of registered users of the Legend Film and Music website will rise sharply. This Warner Online film and television website includes not only movies but also American variety shows and American TV series. Of course, those movies and American TV series with rating restrictions also need to be excluded.

The music website even includes a large number of European and American music works, which makes domestic music lovers very addicted. This wave of operations by Legendary Company has led to a major reshuffle of video and music websites. In order to find a way out, many websites have to go out and find people to cooperate.

Jia Honghong returned to Sijiu City for the summer vacation. After only two days, she told her aunt something. Her grandfather found a new partner named Liu Lan! This was something she had never experienced in her previous life, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad for her grandfather.

"Uncle He is only in his sixties, right? He has no children around him, so it is very right for him to find a companion to support each other. As long as Liu Lan's children don't cause trouble, you should support and bless them."

I have never seen this Liu Lan Jingyi, but according to the original novel and many online articles, this woman is still okay and has a very positive image. Being able to accompany Sha Zhu in old age can be considered a perfect match.

Jingyi thought again, if Shazhu and Liu Lan reunited as a family, Banggeng would not be able to fulfill his wish if he came back. Liu Lan's personality was quite fierce, she would not indulge Banggeng. Now there was something interesting to watch!

"I heard from Uncle Ma that the woman has two sons and they don't care much about their mother. I guess they don't have any contact with my grandfather either." Jia Honghong had already found out everything about this matter.

"This is not great! Don't worry about Uncle He and his friend's affairs. Go see them when you have time." Jingyi instructed Jia Honghong.

During the summer vacation, Jingyi kept her by her side, treating her like a little follower. Don't be like her in her previous life, hiding in the laboratory and doing research and development.

Jingyi also taught her how to behave and dress, and was determined to make her a rich lady. Jia Honghong had a lot to learn from her.

Liu Lan lived in Sha Zhu's house for a month. Bang Geng didn't come, but she and Sha Zhu spent a lot of time together, and good things happened naturally.

Sha Zhu came out to work because he was bored at home. Now that he has a partner at home and they both have retirement pay, it would be unreasonable to leave Liu Lan at home to work. So after the two of them established a relationship, Sha Zhu asked to quit his job and go home after this month's work. The two of them officially enjoy their own world at home!

Since Sha Zhu had Liu Lan by his side, Xu Damao's visits to his house have obviously decreased. He couldn't stand Sha Zhu's boasting towards him. What's so great about that? I, Xu Damao, don't care.

Just when he was feeling jealous, his ex-wife Qin Jingru came to his house under the pretext of visiting her niece.

Her brother-in-law Sha Zhu once came to her house and had a detailed talk with her. He said that Xu Damao had changed a lot and now worked as a doorman in Jingyi's company in Nanluoguxiang.

He was able to make peace with Xu Damao and become friends, so why can't you two reconcile and get back together?

After all, they have lived together for more than 20 years, so they still have a foundation of love. Qin Jingru is also the kind of traditional woman who follows her husband's lead! So she found an excuse to come and see Xu Damao. Has he really changed a lot as Sha Zhu said?

When Qin Jingru appeared in front of Xu Damao, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I'm here to see Honghong. Is she here now?" Qin Jingru stood outside the gatehouse window and asked Xu Damao.

"Please wait a moment! Let me make a phone call and ask." Xu Damao didn't even dare to look up at her. He quickly picked up the phone and called Jia Honghong.

After a few words he hung up the phone, and the two of them were speechless for a while separated by the window.

"How are you doing now?" Xu Damao saw that the atmosphere was getting awkward, so he mustered up the courage to ask her.

"It's okay! I just retired last year. There's nothing to do at home, it's quite boring." Qin Jingru replied casually.

"Well, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. I don't pray that you will forgive me, but I still want to say sorry to you." Xu Damao lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Qin Jingru.

"What's the point of telling me this now? If you had been aware of this before, you wouldn't be like this now." Qin Jingru was furious when she thought of Xu Damao's previous bad deeds.

Xu Damao wanted to say something, but when he saw Jia Honghong coming over from the Nine-Turn Bridge, he shut up tactfully.

"How come you have time to come and see me today, Aunt? I thought you had forgotten me!" Jia Honghong came over, hugged Qin Jingru's arm, and pulled her away.

In the previous life, when her grandmother Qin Huairu was still alive, her aunt and her family still visited each other. Later, her grandmother passed away, and her scumbag father became the head of the family and despised the poor and loved the rich, so her aunt and Xu Damao never set foot in the courtyard again.

"You have been in Hong Kong, where can I find you? I heard that you have been staying with your aunt this summer vacation, so I came to see you." Qin Jingru explained with a smile.

Jia Honghong took Qin Jingru to the reception room on the third floor, where the luxurious interior shocked Qin Jingru.

Jingyi heard the voice and came out of the office to meet the guest. She had not had much contact with Qin Jingru. When she was a child, she slept in the same bed with Qin Jingru for one night.

"Aunt! You are a rare guest." Jingyi could only call her according to her seniority.

"Hey! You haven't changed much, but I have grown old. You have brought up Honghong so well. I want to thank you on behalf of my sister."

Qin Jingru had long forgotten what Jingyi looked like when she was a child. She had met Jingyi once in Qin Huairu's ward a few years ago. The impression she left on her was very deep!

Jingyi saw that she was very reserved with herself, so she said a few polite words and went back to her office, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Your grandmother is also an unlucky person! She had such a capable daughter, but she tried her best to push her away when she was little. Yet she was still complacent, as if she had gotten a great bargain." Qin Jingru said with emotion after seeing Jingyi leave.

"What was my aunt like when she was a child? Tell me about it." When her great aunt mentioned her aunt's childhood, Jia Honghong immediately became curious.

"Your aunt left the courtyard when she was five years old, and I didn't seem to have married into the family at that time. So, I didn't have many contacts. I only know that once when they went to see a movie, your grandmother took your father and your eldest aunt, but not your younger aunt. I even asked your grandmother specifically, do you know what she said?" Qin Jingru said this and deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"My grandma must have said that my aunt is still young, and there are many children around her, so she is afraid that she can't take care of her." Jia Honghong guessed.

"Your grandma actually said that. Someone will take your aunt to the movies. Your aunt doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Someone will help her raise the child."

Qin Jingru will never forget the time she went to the steel mill to watch a movie. There, she met Xu Damao for the first time.
