Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 58: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
“All right, stop arguing,” Xu Yang glared at Xu Xiaoyu. “Let me see the short videos you’ve shot and I’ll decide if you can continue with this.”

He’d watched the growth stories of many future internet celebrities, seen how they got famous, what kind of videos they shot, and what their live streams were like.

Now a professional in the industry, he could easily judge the quality of a video and whether it had the potential to become a hit.

He could even tailor-make internet celebrities based on their individual traits.

It was just that he disdained doing such detailed work.

However, since it was his own cousin who insisted on pursuing a career in this field, Xu Yang was not averse to giving some advice and working his magic.

“Okay.” Xu Xiaoyu immediately took out her phone, opened Douyin, went to her homepage, and then handed the phone to Xu Yang.

Looking at it here wasn’t suitable; it would disturb their parents and uncles and aunts from chatting, so they went to the balcony instead. Zhao Yuxin and Xu Xiaoyu also followed to the balcony.

After watching a few videos, Xu Yang basically understood what kind of videos Xu Xiaoyu was shooting.

They were quirky and funny videos.

They looked quite hilarious, but they seemed very rough and sometimes not so natural, making them somewhat awkward to watch.

“Brother, what do you think?” Xu Xiaoyu asked expectantly.

“There are some issues,” Xu Yang said thoughtfully. “If you want to continue and succeed in a short period, you can do as I say. I can make you an internet celebrity, it’s up to you if you’re willing.”

Xu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up, excitedly saying, “Willing, of course, I’m willing. Brother, just tell me what to do?”

Xu Yang turned to Zhao Yuxin, “Wife, could you go to the room and fetch my laptop?”

He had brought his laptop with him mainly because he was worried about receiving some information in the system, sent to his email.

If there was any, he could check it promptly on his computer.

Although he could access emails on his phone, using a computer was still more convenient.

After all, it was just a laptop, not heavy, so it wasn’t a big deal to bring it along.

“Sure.” Zhao Yuxin nodded and left.

“And you, go fetch me a stool,” Xu Yang said to Xu Xiaoyu.

“Brother, are you treating me like a servant?” Xu Xiaoyu pouted, feigning dissatisfaction.

“Do you want to be an internet celebrity or not?” Xu Yang glanced at Xu Xiaoyu.

“Yes, very much so,” Xu Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, like a pecking chicken.

“Well then, hurry up and get the stool, or you can forget about being an internet celebrity for life,” Xu Yang said with a laugh.

“I’ll get it.” Xu Xiaoyu went into the living room and brought back a stool for Xu Yang.

Zhao Yuxin also returned with the laptop, already booted up.

Xu Yang took the laptop, sat down on the stool, placed the laptop on his thighs, opened a Word document, and started typing on the keyboard.

Ten minutes later, a tailor-made comedic short film script for Xu Xiaoyu, based on her personality and style, was completed.

Zhao Yuxin and Xu Xiaoyu were laughing as they stood behind Xu Yang and watched what he’d written.

“Film according to this script tomorrow. If your performance is up to scratch, it should at least become a small sensation!” Xu Yang said.

“Brother, you’re so talented. Don’t worry, when it comes to acting, I’m a genius. I’ll outshine many little flowers and herbs; I’ll definitely do well,” Xu Xiaoyu assured, patting her chest.

“If you do well with this, I can sign you up with my agency, and you can go for training. After half a month of coaching, someone will teach you, and then you can come back and continue to shoot short videos and do live streaming. If you still can’t do it right, you should just honestly look for a job and work, so you don’t make your parents angry anymore,” Xu Yang said.

“Brother, don’t worry. I’m sure I can do it right,” Xu Xiaoyu said.

“Alright, that settles it, we’ll head to the People’s Park to shoot at nine in the morning tomorrow. Have your friends come along; they’ll need to join us for the training in Jiangcheng as well,”

Xu Yang had already found out that Xu Xiaoyu was making videos with two friends, forming a small team.

“No problem, my friends will definitely be thrilled to hear this news. They’re in the same boat as I am. Just yesterday, they were saying they’d give it another month, and if it still doesn’t work out, they’d go job hunting. Now, with this, we don’t have to worry about that anymore,” Xu Xiaoyu said cheerfully.

With the matter settled, they all returned to the living room.

“Mom and Dad, my brother said he will teach me, and I’ll quickly become an internet star. Just wait and see, I’m sure the money I’ll earn in a month will be an eye-opener for you both!” Xu Xiaoyu boasted.

“Eye-opener? I’d be grateful to the heavens if you could even manage to fill your own belly,” Jiang Ying gave her daughter a skeptical look.

“Mom, that’s no way to encourage someone,” Xu Xiaoyu pouted, showing her displeasure.

“I’m not trying to discourage you, just telling it like it is,” Jiang Ying retorted.

“Brother, look, Mom doesn’t even believe in me,” Xu Xiaoyu pleaded with Xu Yang for support.

“Uncle, Auntie, it’s not that Xiaoyu can’t do this, she’s just been going about it the wrong way. The live streaming guild I’ve acquired, that’s actually what they do. If done well, it can indeed be quite lucrative. How about this: I let her come to Jiangcheng for a two-week training at my company. If she still doesn’t make it after that, she can come back and find a regular job, work honestly,” Xu Yang proposed.

“Sure, if you’re looking after her, I feel relieved,” Xu Dewei naturally agreed.

Xu Yang, as the boss, would surely take care of his sister Xu Xiaoyu during the training.

“Xu Yang, we’ll have to trouble you then,” Jiang Ying had no objections and then glared at Xu Xiaoyu, “While you’re at the training, listen to your brother. If you don’t behave, wait till you get back and see if I don’t break your legs!”

“Mom, don’t worry, as long as I get the training, I’m sure I’ll quickly become an internet star!” Xu Xiaoyu said confidently.

With a brother like Xu Yang, who has creative abilities and is the owner of a live streaming guild,

If she still couldn’t become an internet sensation, it would just mean it wasn’t her destiny. She’d accept that and return home to look for a job and settle into regular employment.

With Xu Xiaoyu’s issue resolved, Xu Dewei and Jiang Ying could finally relax.

They had faith in Xu Yang; to them, he had always been reliable.

Besides, Xu Yang was now a boss. Helping Xu Xiaoyu wouldn’t be too difficult.

Their daughter’s predicament had been a real worry for them. Every time they mentioned her to others, it was quite embarrassing.

Even though nobody had mocked them to their faces, they knew people were laughing at them behind their backs, mocking them for having a daughter with her head in the clouds.

If their daughter really did become an internet celebrity, it would count as success in that field.

In any of the three hundred and sixty professions, what mattered was succeeding at it.

As long as their daughter succeeded, those people would have to shut their mouths.

Their reputation would be restored.

By five o’clock, Jiang Qiuping and Jiang Ying started preparing the reunion dinner, with Zhao Yuxin and Xu Xiaoyu helping out.

The dinner was served, and both families enjoyed the reunion meal happily together.

After dinner, it was time to admire the moon on the rooftop and eat mooncakes.

During this time, Zhao Yuxin also called her father to wish him a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

In previous years, she had always spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with her father.

This year, since she needed to go to Xu Yang’s home, she couldn’t be with her father and had to settle for a phone call.

Her eyes turned red during the call.

Zhao Hai, on the other hand, didn’t seem to mind. He knew that a daughter was ultimately meant to marry off.

His daughter marrying Xu Yang made him very happy. She had found her own happiness, and he didn’t need to worry about her future life anymore.
