novelHad to Ask Lin Nuan for Her Opinion
| ← Ch.0858 | Ch.0860 → |
Because the outcome between them was written in stone, Lin Chen's rational senses told him that he shouldn't place focus on Lin Nuan. Once he lost control and crossed the boundary, the problem would afflict not just him but also Lin Nuan and his parents.
Hearing the bathroom door open once again, Lin Chen sloppily chewed the dumpling in his mouth before swallowing it down quickly, then wiped his lips with a napkin.
Lin Nuan walked over and took out a hand cream from her bag. Seeing that Lin Chen's plate of dumplings was largely untouched and that he had already set down his chopsticks, she asked, "Do the dumplings not taste good? If you don't want to eat dumplings, I'll get Nainai to bring you something else on the way back?"
"No need to go through the trouble. I'm not hungry. I'm merely eating something so that I don't have to take my medication on an empty stomach, " Lin Chen said slowly.
Lin Nuan nodded and set down her hand cream. She went over to pour Lin Chen a glass of warm water...
He watched as Lin Nuan went to get the medication, then brought it to him after carefully reading the instructions for dosage. Lin Chen's breathing was slightly heavy, as if there was something stuck in his chest. The spot where he had the surgery done was giving him an uncomfortable sensation.
He took the medicine from her and swallowed it down with water. Before he could reach out to take his plate, Lin Nuan had already gone into the kitchen with the plate of dumplings.
"Don't eat these dumplings in the afternoon, it wouldn't be good to eat dumplings that have been left out for so long. Just get the part-time helper to come over and make you something to eat!" Lin Nuan twisted her head and spoke to him as she emptied the dumplings into the trash can."Rest for a bit after taking your medicine. When you wake up in the afternoon, don't just make do for your meal! You haven't fully recovered, so don't take your health lightly."
"Got it. When your friend comes back later, lock the door properly when you leave!"
Lin Nuan could tell that this was Lin Chen trying to chase her out. She nodded, watching Lin Chen as he went back to his room.
Actually, how could Lin Nuan not know that Lin Chen was trying to avoid her?
If it were anyone else, Lin Nuan, who always had a keen sense about such things, would certainly avoid that person. But facing the sick Lin Chen, Lin Nuan couldn't make herself do something like that.
He was her older brother, the older brother she had grown up with!
But if her frequent appearance made Lin Chen feel uneasy, Lin Nuan could choose not to come as well. She just had to know that he was doing well.
You Nainai came back right after Lin Chen went back to his room. Lin Nuan feigned relaxedness as she put on her jacket, then smiled and said to You Nainai, "Let's go... I'll treat you to hotpot!"
"Didn't you say that we're cooking dumplings?" You Nainai halted in her action of changing into slippers with a bottle of vinegar in hand."I already bought the vinegar..."
"Brother needs to rest! I'm afraid we might disrupt him, so we'd better go!" Lin Nuan smiled as she explained to You Nainai.
You Nainai wasn't a nosy person. Since Lin Nuan said to leave, You Nainai didn't even remove her jacket, merely putting the vinegar in the kitchen before leaving the place with Lin Nuan.
...
On the way back to the Fu residence, when the bored Lin Nuan was swiping through Weibo, she saw that plenty of people were posting about the show "After Heroes."
Yesterday's guest was the previous commander-in-chief of the construction of aircraft carriers, General Tan Hongjun. General Tan Hongjun spoke of the difficulties and obstacles they encountered in the creation of aircraft carriers. He spoke of how the US had used economic sanctions to obstruct the country's progress in the development of those aircraft carriers, as well as the reactions from other countries when they later succeeded in building aircraft carriers.
General Tan Hongjun even talked about the issue that Fu Huai'an mentioned on "Talking with Lin Nuan, " about the problems of turbines in cargo planes and fighter jets!
He said that what the US was doing to the country now was just like what they did to them back when they were constructing aircraft carriers, carrying out sanctions, be it in the open or the dark. This was because the US government's most advanced fighter jets... came from fighter jet manufacturers! They knew all too well that for such military projects, the collaboration between the government and companies could result in a leap in the quality of a country's military equipment!
This was the first time the government had tried to collaborate with local companies in the development of turbines, and it was enough to make the US want to carry out economic sanctions against the country. One could see from this how important turbines were to the country! The importance of it... wasn't secondary to the construction of aircraft carriers!
Because only when they had good turbines would they be able to construct better fighter jets and combat aircraft!
General Tan Hongjun even said that the wars of the future would be a battle between the ocean and the skies. If the economic sanctions that the US took this time sent the economy into winter again, he hoped that the citizens could brave through it again, just like they did last time!
At the end of the show, General Tan Hongjun even appealed to the people to support locally produced goods, caling for the local enterprises to maintain quality control over their products. If they managed to make things cheap and good, he believed that every citizen would be willing to support goods that their own country produced.
Many netizens had commented that they hadn't expected that there were so many constraints and obstacles when it came to constructing something.
Someone immediately pointed out that, although America's economic sanctions back then did send their economy into winter, they managed to get through it without bowing to America. He felt that their country was right in doing this. Only when a country had a strong military could it truly be considered powerful.
The show "After Heroes" had more depth and was more serious than any show Lin Nuan had ever done before. This helped her attract many fans who were into military stuff. Even people of Old Master Lin's age would camp by the computer to watch the show.
In the past, it could be said that Lin Nuan was a popular show host. However, "After Heroes" had elevated her to an even higher status, making her the most popular show host in the country's history. It turned her into a show host that was liked across the most diverse range of ages!
Very quickly, when Jincheng TV Station found out that they didn't sign a contract for "After Heroes" with any TV station, they speedily extended an olive branch to her, hoping that the show could be broadcasted on Jincheng TV Station.
Jincheng TV Station had always taken the crown when it came to ratings. Fang Yan said that she needed to consider the proposition, but the person in charge at Jincheng TV Station had found Fang Yan's agency through connections, looking like they would agree to buy exclusive rights to this show regardless of the conditions Fang Yan stated.
Jincheng TV Station was quick to respond. As for Jinjiang TV Station, which had been collaborating with Fang Yan's agency... they naturally saw the bright prospects of "After Heroes." They were also in the midst of a discussion with Fang Yan about buying the exclusive broadcast rights to "After Heroes." In fact, they were willing to offer even more lucrative terms than Jincheng TV Station.
Even Haicheng TV Station had found Fang Yan, enticing her with the reason that it was more convenient for Lin Nuan to return to Haicheng TV Station to record the show.
Coincidentally, the representative of Jinjiang TV Station bumped into the representative of Haicheng TV Station, leading to a quarrel.
One mocked the other for having the cheek to seek Lin Nuan.
The other accused Jinjiang TV Station of being too greedy, saying that Jinjiang TV Station wanted to hog Lin Nuan's other show despite having rights to one of her shows already.
Fang Yan watched on as they quarreled in increasingly loud voices. Fearing that the two of them would get into a brawl at their agency, Fang Yan had no choice but to get them to go back first, for she had to ask Lin Nuan for her opinion.
Fang Yan pondered for a long time before calling Lin Nuan to ask for her opinion.
