Chapter 320 The new son-in-law comes to the door
Of his novels in the past two years, only "Edge of Tomorrow" and "The Matrix" are suitable for publication in mainland China.
Edge of Tomorrow is set in China and has sold relatively well, selling 1200 million copies. The Matrix has a lot less sales because it contains too many computer terms, selling just over 1000 million copies.
But in terms of word of mouth, "The Matrix" is much better than "Edge of Tomorrow". Hardcore science fiction is more high-end than soft science fiction.
The remaining three trilogies, "The Silver Hand", "Windrunker" and "Twilight Judgement", did not have a large audience in China and only sold more than 200 million copies.
This achievement is indeed something to be proud of for ordinary writers, but for Liu Hongmin, it is too little.
Liu Hongmin's novels with domestic backgrounds can sell at least tens of millions of copies. Even the Shaobao series written more than ten years ago can still sell millions of copies every year. There was no family planning in the 70s, and the number of newborns was much higher than in the 80s. As they grew up, many of them became fans of Liu Hongmin's books.
After more than ten years of development, the Shao Bao series has become an enduring public case novel. Many people highly praise the Shao Bao series and believe it is a classic of modern public case novels.
Many of Liu Hongmin's novels have been rated as classics. "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "White Night Walk" are classics of modern suspicion novels, and "The Donkey Gets Water" is a classic of modern satirical novels...
The cumulative sales of these classic novels have basically exceeded 2000 million copies, and the highest has even exceeded 4000 million copies.
"Are you done with your work?" Li Lizhen pushed the door open and walked in.
Liu Hongmin looked up and saw that she was holding a cup of tea. He immediately put down the sales form and took the tea.
"The novel is finished, but there are still many documents to look at."
Li Lizhen smiled and said, "Who made you come from a wealthy family?"
Liu Hongmin shrugged, "I don't want to either! Actually, I'm not interested in money!"
Li Lizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're talking nonsense again."
The two chatted for a while, and Li Lizhen said, "Aying said she will come back tomorrow, and it seems she will bring her partner with her."
"Partner?" Liu Hongmin was a little annoyed when he heard the word, as if he was being eaten by a pig. But he quickly realized that Liu Hongying had already graduated from college and was old enough to find a partner.
"What did Hongying say?"
Li Lizhen chuckled. She certainly saw through Liu Hongmin's heart. The eldest brother is like a father. Liu Hongying was almost raised by Liu Hongmin himself. She is not much different from his daughter. Now that Liu Hongying is dating someone, Liu Hongmin must feel bad.
"She seems to be her classmate. Her family seems to be from the countryside. Her conditions are not very good, but she is a very honest person. She is introverted and doesn't like to talk."
Liu Hongmin nodded. He didn't care much about family background. At this stage, except for those red families, no family could compare to the Liu family. He valued the person. He didn't care how powerful he was, as long as he was good to Liu Hongying.
"Let Aunt Zhang buy some good food and some good wine later. Let's prepare a good family dinner tomorrow to entertain the good people."
"Okay, leave it to me." Li Lizhen nodded with a smile.
The next morning, Chen Yu drove to the station to pick up Liu Hongying. After waiting for more than ten minutes at the exit, he found Liu Hongying in the crowd. Next to her was a tall, honest-looking boy.
"Hongying! Here!"
Liu Hongying was talking to the boy when he heard someone calling his name. He immediately looked towards the exit. Soon he saw Chen Yu waving at him and shouted in surprise, "Brother Yu!"
Soon, the two of them left the station. Liu Hongying handed the suitcase to Chen Yu and said, "Brother Yu, why are you here to pick me up?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Your elder brother was worried, so he asked me to come."
He looked the boy up and down and asked jokingly, "Hongying, who is this?"
Liu Hongying was a little embarrassed, but she still said openly: "This is my boyfriend, Xu Lihua."
Xu Lihua scratched the back of his head, "Brother Yu, hello."
Chen Yu stretched out his hand and shook his hand. "Let's go! Our family is waiting!"
The three got in the car and Chen Yu drove back to Shichahai.
Xu Lihua was a little restless sitting in the car. Liu Hongying noticed it and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Is your family rich?" Xu Lihua asked nervously.
When Liu Hongying heard this, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore. "Well... I do have some money, but it was all earned by my eldest brother. It has nothing to do with me."
Xu Lihua looked at the decoration inside the car and said, "Your brother must be quite rich. This car must cost at least 100,000 yuan."
Liu Hongying smiled and said nothing.
Soon, the car arrived at Shichahai and stopped at the sentry post. Two security guards came over and immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw Chen Yu, "Captain!"
Chen Yu nodded, "Normal inspection."
"Yes!"
Two security guards immediately opened the trunk of the car and checked the luggage with a metal detector.
Xu Lihua looked outside the car in confusion, "What is this...?"
Liu Hongying explained: "This is my eldest brother's security."
After the guard post let them pass, they soon reached the second guard post. Xu Lihua looked at Liu Hongying again in confusion, "Why is there another inspection?"
Chen Yu explained: "There are three inspections in total. When we get to the third one, we will also inspect everyone."
Xu Lihua looked at Liu Hongying in astonishment. "Who is your elder brother? Why does he have such high-level security?"
"These security guards were hired by my eldest brother himself." Liu Hongying said with a smile: "As for why the standards are so high, it's mainly because he is afraid of death."
"Afraid of death?" Xu Lihua didn't expect to hear this answer.
Chen Yu laughed. "Hongying is right. His elder brother is indeed afraid of death. He often said that the greatest sorrow in life is that one dies without spending money."
Xu Lihua felt that he had a cerebral infarction. Although this sounded reasonable, who would think so?
Soon they arrived at the third checkpoint, the three got out of the car, passed through the metal detector scan, and walked into the alley.
The security guard at the door saw the three people coming and immediately ran over and took the gifts from their hands.
"The eldest lady is back!"
Liu Hongying glared at them and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Lihua with a guilty look. Xu Lihua was also looking at her, "How many things have you not told me yet?"
Liu Hongying pouted immediately, "There are many things I don't know how to tell you. After you meet my eldest brother, you will know why I didn't tell you."
Xu Lihua thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay!"
At this time, a figure appeared at the door. When Liu Hongying saw it, she immediately ran over and said, "Brother! I missed you so much!"
Xu Lihua looked at the figure and was stunned.
Who did he see?
