My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 306: My Husband Has Superpowers!
Chapter 306: Chapter 306: My Husband Has Superpowers!
While speaking, Shasha was pulling Lu Man to sit down and patiently explained, "What does it mean to have talent?"
"Take Sister Xun, for example."
"When you watch her roles, you’ll see that each one seems as if they were alive. Her every move, every smile seems so lively."
"Even if some of her roles might be flawed, it doesn’t stop everyone from seeing that she can act, and act well."
"That is talent."
"Talent is something that is actually visible to the naked eye."
"And you didn’t have it before."
"But, it’s okay, Sister Man. Now, you do."
"The expressions that you couldn’t control before are now easy for you to manage, and the expressions that used to be just glaring or pouting now have many different layers."
"This is truly talent!"
At this point, Shasha was a bit excited!
She said, "Talent is something innate, and it cannot be increased later on."
"So, I suspect you’ve always had talent. But because you didn’t go through formal training, you didn’t know how to utilize your own talent."
"And after this period of professional training, you suddenly knew how to act one day! You knew how to use your own talent!"
"That’s enlightenment!"
"So, you were right!"
Listening to Shasha’s words, Lu Man said:...
This mystical explanation is no better than saying I drank Chen Yan’s water...
Forget it, forget it, as long as there’s a reasonable explanation, it’s fine.
Lu Man didn’t bother to think any further.
Thus, under Shasha’s various assumptions, the "official" reason Lu Man suddenly knew how to act was settled.
Following that, with her professional guidance, Shasha began helping Lu Man grasp her own talent.
It must be said, Lu Man’s effort in the past two years played a big role.
Talent also needs effort to be realized.
Previously, she had effort but no talent. But now, with her talent and professional coaching, her acting skills improved every second.
Just like that, they practiced the whole day, and it was with reluctance that Shasha finally stopped training Lu Man: as a teacher, producing a good student is indeed a very fulfilling thing.
After seeing Shasha off, Lu Man finally had a clearer judgment of her own strength: according to Shasha, her acting skills were fast approaching that of a seasoned actor, and if she got the right role, competing for the best supporting actress, even winning the Best Actress was possible.
After all, Lu Man’s current expressiveness in acting had already surpassed over 80% of professional actors.
If Shasha was forced to quantify the change in Lu Man...
She couldn’t.
Because she felt it was like comparing night and day.
Having received affirmation from her acting coach, Lu Man couldn’t contain the excitement in her heart. She happily called Chen Yan to sincerely thank her beloved!
The phone was answered after two rings.
Before Chen Yan could speak, Lu Man said joyfully, "Chen Yan! My acting has really improved!"
At that time, Chen Yan was driving. Hearing Lu Man’s voice, he smiled and said, "Right? I told you last night that your acting was good."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, Lu Man giggled, "I have you to thank for that~~"
Pretending not to understand, Chen Yan asked, "Thank me for what?"
Lu Man said, "It’s the effect of that bottle of water you gave me."
At this point, Chen Yan started teasing, "What if I told you that the drink I gave you was just a normal beverage?"
A question mark slowly appeared over Lu Man’s head, "A normal beverage?"
Chen Yan confirmed, "Yes."
He asked back, "What did the water you drank yesterday taste like?"
Lu Man recalled. Yesterday, the water was a bit sour, it seemed like... "Mount Snake Herbal Water."
Chen Yan affirmed, "That’s right."
"Because what was in there was indeed Mount Snake Herbal Water."
"Ah?" Lu Man was surprised.
Chen Yan explained, "So, the improvement you see is due to your own skills. It’s not because of me."
"I just gave you a psychological suggestion."
"So, what you should be thankful for is the effort you’ve always put in."
After speaking, Chen Yan gave her more encouragements and then hung up.
At that moment, listening to Chen Yan’s explanation, Lu Man sat on the sofa, her mind echoing with Chen Yan’s encouragements, "Is it... really the result of my own efforts?"
"So... am I really that amazing?"
Lu Man blinked...
After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses. She stood up vehemently and said, "Alright! I was almost fooled again!"
Lu Man suddenly remembered the last time when Chen Yan’s certain part was glowing, and the time before when Chen Yan predicted she would be Best Actress!
If this time it was Mount Snake Herbal Water, then how could the previous times be explained?
Is it possible that "enhancing acting" was "psychological suggestion", "glowing" was done with "glowing materials", and predicting "Best Actress" was just "plain luck"?
That would be too coincidental!
Chen Yan isn’t a magician, how could he know so many tricks? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
She’d rather believe that all this is because Chen Yan has supernatural powers!
Thinking of this, Lu Man decided not to think further!
She felt it was too exhausting to complicate the issue, better keep it simple.
She.... unilaterally declared that Chen Yan has supernatural powers!
Thinking this, Lu Man hummed a tone-deaf song, "My hubby has superpowers~" and happily went on with her acting practice...
At that time, Chen Yan, after hanging up, was thinking of Lu Man’s bewildered expressions, and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Every time he was with Lu Man, he felt this relaxed.
After driving for a while, Chen Yan snapped back to reality and suddenly remembered he forgot to call He Mengxue.
Thinking of this, he called He Mengxue.
The phone was connected in no more than two seconds. He Mengxue’s lazy voice came through, "Mr. Chen? Did you need something?"
Chen Yan spoke while driving, "Actually, I do need something."
He Mengxue, lounging in an executive chair with her long legs on the desk, asked, "What’s up? Just say it. As long as I can help, I certainly won’t refuse."
Chen Yan said as he drove, "You won’t refuse this for sure."
He added, "I’ve figured out your startup project. I plan to collaborate with you."
Hearing Chen Yan’s words, He Mengxue was momentarily stunned, then she excitedly took her legs off the desk, sat up straight, and seriously asked Chen Yan, "Really? What project?"
Chen Yan said, "Venture capital. How does that sound? Interested?"
He Mengxue’s brows suddenly furrowed.
Unlike Chen Yan’s "idealized" perception, He Mengxue, who had been exposed to the capital market from a young age and lacked the Golden Finger, did not think highly of the venture capital industry.
In her view, it was a business that depended on luck and connections.
You know, 90 percent of startups lose money.
The remaining nine percent break even.
Only the last one percent make a bit of money.
Out of that one percent, only another one percent make big money.
This already made the venture capital industry highly likely to fail.
Moreover, all sorts of messes in startup companies, like manipulating accounts to extract funds, uneven share distribution, splitting due to conflicts, giants entering the market, etc., even successful projects struggled to recover investments.
And most importantly, sometimes you can’t invest in projects you like.
Everyone is not foolish. It’s visible to the naked eye whether a company has potential or will succeed.
If there were good startups, they would have already been divided by internet conglomerates, financial groups, top-tier venture capitalists, and it wouldn’t be your turn.
Among the remaining companies, those with even slightly reliable founders wouldn’t just focus on getting investments but would consider what the investment institutions could bring to the company.
Like bringing traffic (Tencent, ByteDance)?
Like adding to the brand’s value with endorsements from well-known VCs like Redwood?
Like bringing resources from industry chains?
What? None of those? Just money?
Then... I’d better think about it.
So, venture capital can actually be called a high-mortality industry.
But... even with all these disagreements, after thinking for two seconds, He Mengxue still clenly agreed, "Fine! I’m in!"
She asked, "How much money do you need?"
Chen Yan, unaware of He Mengxue’s inner turmoil, casually said, "Not in a hurry. I’ll meet with your dad in a couple of days, have a chat and then discuss it."
Hearing Chen Yan mention her father, He Mengxue was suddenly surprised and a bit shy, "You want to talk to my dad? .... Isn’t that a bit fast?"
Chen Yan, distracted by driving, didn’t understand why talking to He Mengxue’s father was considered "fast."
He said, "What do you mean fast? What are you talking about?"
He explained, "I have some personal matters to discuss with your father. It also relates to our company."
"Let’s talk about it after we meet."
After speaking, Chen Yan chatted with He Mengxue for a bit and then hung up.
After hanging up, Chen Yan turned the steering wheel and drove back down to his own apartment’s underground garage...
Upon stopping the car, Chen Yan locked it, juggled the car keys, and returned home.
Once home, Chen Yan changed his shoes, washed his hands, sat at the dining table, and ordered some takeaway.
While waiting for the takeaway, Chen Yan opened up an app called "Cloud Foster Gaming"...
