Chapter 141: Designer

It was already 10 pm when the movie ended.

Shen Sangyu walked out of the cinema and heard everyone discussing the film. Only Wen Qingchuan and Shen Sangyu left without joining the conversation.

Wen Qingchuan felt he wasn’t very artistic and assumed Shen Sangyu wouldn’t have much to discuss with him. He also didn’t think the movie was very good.

But watching the people coming and going, discussing the movie, Wen Qingchuan paused and asked, “What did you think of the movie?”

Shen Sangyu was still thinking about how to make money and was startled when Wen Qingchuan spoke. She replied, “It was okay, but…”

Wen Qingchuan hummed, “But what?”

“Wen Qingchuan, how much do you think this movie will make at the box office?”

Wen Qingchuan didn’t know much about the film industry but had heard Shen Xu talk about it.

There was no other reason. In this era, entertainment was scarce, so a movie could quickly become popular nationwide.

Of course, the movie they watched today, “Love in Qingshan,” was quite popular in the city.

Even though a ticket only cost one cent, the subject matter was explicit, and it earned millions at the box office in a short time.

When people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan were still sought after, a movie had a box office of several million!

“What if I invested in a movie?”

“Ahem!”

Wen Qingchuan was truly startled this time.

“What did you say?”

Shen Sangyu said seriously, “I’m not kidding. You know the state of our economy.

I want to do my own research, but the research funds are insufficient. Even if the teacher and the country are willing to give me funds, it’s like a drop in the bucket.”

Current scientific research conditions were truly difficult.

“Do you think the drone I studied before is amazing?”

Wen Qingchuan didn’t understand why Shen Sangyu’s topic jumped so much, but he nodded honestly, “Yes, I heard from Chief Yang that drones will be mass-produced soon.”

With drones exploring the way ahead, there was no need to consume manpower. It was definitely a rare good thing for them who were walking on a tightrope.

Wen Qingchuan never thought that such a small drone could replace people for search and rescue, and the search and rescue accuracy was so high.

“Sangyu is very powerful.”

Wen Qingchuan praised Shen Sangyu whenever and wherever.

Shen Sangyu was helpless.

“The drone I made is just the most basic version. Can you imagine that such a small thing can drop bombs, avoid radar, and can be used for the three armed forces of the navy, army, and air force?

It can also be used for civilian purposes in the future. If you install a camera on it, you can see things you can’t see.”

Wen Qingchuan didn’t have Shen Sangyu’s imagination, but he was shocked just by hearing these effects.

“Can all these be made?”

“Yes, as long as there is enough research funding, I can make it.”

Shen Sangyu paused and said seriously, “But these things don’t cost 30,000 yuan or 300,000 yuan.

If I can gain a foothold in the circle like Teacher Qin, it might be easy to get funding, but not now.”

At any time, people like Qin Duanshan were better than her.

She was able to create these things because she learned the essence of rapid global development in the next few decades.

Qin Duanshan and others were the founders of these essences.

Wen Qingchuan didn’t say anything after hearing this.

Suddenly, Wen Qingchuan asked, “Is the money enough?”

“Huh?” Shen Sangyu was stunned.

“Since you want to invest, then is the money enough? I heard that there is a lot of money to invest in movies.”

Shen Sangyu was stunned for three seconds, and after reacting, a smile immediately broke out on her face: “I thought you wouldn’t understand.”

Wen Qingchuan said honestly, “I really don’t understand what you said, but as long as you want to do it, I support you.”

Shen Sangyu smiled, “I just thought about it, but whether I do it or not depends on the situation.

We are husband and wife. I should discuss what I want to do with you. I’m very happy that you can support me.”

When Wen Qingchuan heard the words “husband and wife,” his face softened immediately.

Shen Sangyu would indeed tell him about important matters. This feeling of being trusted was something Wen Qingchuan had never experienced before.

“I’m also very happy that you can discuss it with me.” Wen Qingchuan paused, “If you need it, just come to me.”

Although his salary might not be high, he had many connections. If he asked around, he might be able to get in touch with people working in this field.

“But investment is investment, and academic studies cannot be left behind.”

“I know. You see, I did so many things last semester, and my grades were also the first in my major?”

Wen Qingchuan couldn’t help but think of Shen Sangyu’s grades after hearing this.

Shen Sangyu’s academic performance was like a fault. Not only did she get the first place in her major, but she also opened up a huge gap with the second place.

After returning to the family compound, Shen Sangyu also began to think about investing in movies.

She didn’t know much about the events of this era. She only remembered a few major events, and they had nothing to do with her.

But what she remembered deeply was that a few years later, a love movie was really popular all over the country.

The movie ticket cost one cent and sold 200 million box office, and that movie was also the pioneer of love movies in the true sense.

Shen Sangyu didn’t know exactly when the movie was made, but she remembered that the director said in an interview that he was so poor that he could hardly afford to eat at that time.

If she could find the director…

Shen Sangyu imagined, and suddenly felt that she thought too much.

She had already started thinking about how to invest and make money for something that hadn’t even been decided yet.

She didn’t even know which province the director was in now.

Shen Sangyu couldn’t help but feel helpless.

She thought that if she had known that she would travel through time, she should have read more news of this era to catch up.

Who knows, she could become a wealth tycoon like the protagonist of the novel.

Shen Sangyu sighed helplessly, took a shower and went to bed early.

After the New Year, the start of school was on the agenda.

The samples that Shen Sangyu had sent to the garment factory before were also made into finished products.

The fabrics used were the best, so they did not look cheap when worn.

Among the gray clothes, Shen Sangyu’s white velvet coat looked much brighter and more beautiful in the crowd. Even Cao Ruyue, who had just had her wool curled, was envious.

“Oh my goodness, isn’t this the clothes in the newly opened mall? Forty or fifty pieces, and they are sold out. Sangyu, where did you get them?”

Shen Sangyu said that she was the designer of this dress.

Cao Ruyue was stunned after hearing this: “What did you say!!!”

It’s no wonder Cao Ruyue was so shocked. It was really that Shen Sangyu’s words were too shocking.

“When did it happen? I didn’t hear you say it!”

Cao Ruyue is from Northeast China. She usually speaks Mandarin to Shen Sangyu, but when she got excited, she spoke in her hometown dialect.

Shen Sangyu was helpless and explained in a low voice: “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I really don’t know how to start.

I can’t go over and say “This is the clothes I designed”, people who don’t know would think I’m showing off there.”

Cao Ruyue nodded in understanding: “Yeah, I didn’t ask, don’t blame you.”

As she spoke, Cao Ruyue became more and more envious and couldn’t help asking: “Sangyu, I used to think that Captain Wen marrying you was like sticking a flower on cow dung, but now it seems that you are as good as Captain Wen.”

Not only can she speak foreign languages, but she can also translate novels. Now she has been admitted to such a good university and even quietly became a designer.

That’s a designer, a profession she had never even heard of before.

Now the designer herself is standing in front of her!

“Oh my god, Sangyu, you are simply amazing!”

Shen Sangyu: “…”

Needless to say, she looks like cow dung.
