"Honey, let me explain~"
"It's really not my fault."
"It's out of my control~"
"Besides, you're the one who dropped it on me."
"Besides, it wasn't really touching, and it was through your clothes, wasn't it?"
In the room, Ye Fan was full of sweat, unable to stop explaining.
It was fine that Ye Fan didn't explain, but with this explanation, Qiu Mu Orange was undoubtedly even more furious.Her nose was about to be crooked by Ye Fan, the guy who got together shamelessly.
"Bastard, you still say?"
"You shut up!"
Qiu Mu Orange roared in anger.
Eventually, the storm woke up Han Li and Qiu Lei's husband and wife.
Han Li comes out to ask Qiu Mu Orange what has happened, but how can Qiu Mu Orange say such things?
The only thing that was laid to rest was the shy red face and went back to sleep.
Ye Fan "escaped from death", and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, and this moment, his forehead had even been covered with cold sweat.
"Ma De, when the Chu family's hundred people surrounded and killed themselves back then, I wasn't even in such a mess as I am now."After returning to the study, Ye Fan smiled helplessly and bitterly.
He thought to himself, "Wife" is really the most terrifying creature in the world.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, Qiu Mu Orange still had a shadow of what happened last night.When she saw Ye Fan, she simply ignored him, and her beautiful eyes still had a strong "shy anger" and "coldness" in them.
Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed bitterly at this.
But he could also understand, after all, his wife, ice clear and pure, has not even held a man's hand.After that incident last night, it was strange that Qiu Mu Orange wasn't angry.
But Ye Fan wasn't worried, he reckoned that in a few days, Qiu Mu Orange herself would forget about it.
Shortly after Qiu Mu Orange left for work, Ye Fan received a call from Han Lao.
"Little Lord, the tickets are bought."
"Tonight at eight o'clock, Jianghai International Airport, direct flight to Yanjing."
A low, deep voice quietly emerged from the phone.
Ye Fan's face was expressionless, and he only returned one, "Good."
As it would take quite a bit of time on the way to Jianghai, so after receiving a call from Han Lao, Ye Fan then set off.
Half an hour later, Li Er's car was parked outside the Willow Garden neighborhood, and Ye Fan was waiting there early.
"Mr. Chu."
When he saw Ye Fan, Li Er immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Let's go, take me to Jianghai International Airport."
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Ye Fan then got into the car and ran to Jianghai.
On the way, Ye Fan sent a WeChat message to Qiu Mu Orange: "Mu Orange, I'm going to Yanjing, my ticket for tonight.Take care of yourself."
When Qiu Mu Orange saw Ye Fan's message, it was already noon.
She didn't expect Ye Fan to go in such a hurry, so she called over and asked if Ye Fan had brought all his things, and to be safe on the road.
"Also, I might have a class reunion next month, you must accompany me."
"If you can't come back, you know the consequences!"Qiu Mu Orange said angrily.
This stubborn woman, even if she expressed her reluctance towards Ye Fan, it was in such a tactful way.
Ye Fan smiled lightly and only returned one, good word.
"The friendship between Mr. Chu and Madam is truly enviable."
At this time, seeing that Ye Fan had already hung up the phone, but Li Er couldn't help but lament from the side.
Ye Fan didn't reply, just quietly looked out the window.
Wheels sped up, and the trees on both sides of the road, in sight, were pulled into a trail of shadows, sweeping madly towards behind them.
8pm.
Jianghai International Airport, a plane to Yanjing, but has already taken off.
Yunzhou City, Eastern Suburbs Villa.
Copper Mountain looked out the window of the vast starry sky, in the eyebrows and eyes, there is worry, there is prayer, but also a condensation full of cloth.
Only after a long time, did he let out a sigh.
"That Yanjing City, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful anymore."
"You...You are, Mr. Chu?"
The plane had already taken off.
In the cabin, Ye Fan was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
But at this time, a whisper of surprise came from his ears.
Ye Fan then opened his eyes and saw that not far away, a gentle and beautiful woman was looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Xiaohong!"
Seeing this woman in front of him, Ye Fan was also slightly shocked.,.
He didn't expect that he would meet someone he knew on the plane.
Yes, the gentle and lovely woman in front of him was the same Li Xiaohong who had a few encounters with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan remembered that the last time he had seen Li Xiaohong was at the Mount Tai martial arts meeting in An Ning County.
At that time, Li Xiaohong's uncle and a rich young man set up a trap for Ye Fan because they coveted Chen Nan.
In the end, of course, they didn't succeed and were so scared that they even kneeled down to Ye Fan and begged for mercy.
Ye Fan didn't expect the world to be so small, but he and Li Xiaohong, they met again.
"Mr. Chu, the last time at the foot of Mount Tai, my uncle and the others targeted you so much, but you not only didn't mind, you also let my uncle and the others go, I really thank you."
At this time, Li Xiaohong had already switched seats with a passenger next to Ye Fan, and did it next to Ye Fan.With a face full of joy, she expressed her gratitude to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head: "It's just a small thing, why do you need to say thank you."
"Rather you, Xiaohong, compared to the last time I saw you, you're prettier and much more radiant."
Indeed, compared to seeing Li Xiaohong before, the current her had undoubtedly undergone a drastic change.
The physical changes were not obvious, but what was truly obvious was the tremendous change in Li Xiaohong's mental state.
If the previous Li Xiaohong was still an inferior little girl who worked part-time in a restaurant, but now she was truly a positive and confident college student.
Being so praised by Ye Fan, Li Xiaohong's pretty face reddened.
When Ye Fan saw this, he also changed the topic and asked Li Xiaohong what she was doing in Yanjing.
Only after asking did Ye Fan Fang learn that the other day, Li Xiaohong's father had come to see her.
Expressing that he wanted to pick her up to go to Yanjing and continue her studies.
"When I was young, my father went out to work and never came back."
"I always thought that my father had passed away, until a few days ago, I learned that he was still alive.And in Yanjing, he made a lot of money and had his own business."
"He learned that I wasn't living well with my mother, and to make it up to us, he wanted to take us to Yanjing.My mother didn't want to forgive him, so she didn't go, but she told me to go to Dad."
"Mom said that Yanjing has the best university in Huaxia and that I could have a better future after I went there."
"I didn't want to disappoint mom's expectations, so I prepared to go to Yanjing to find dad."
Li Xiaohong slowly narrated.
From her words, Ye Fan couldn't tell if she resented or missed her father.
Perhaps, the reason she went to Yanjing this time was just because, she didn't want to disobey her mother's wishes.
But for some reason, looking at this gentle and filial girl in front of him, Ye Fan only seemed to be looking at, another self.
Hadn't his so-called father come to him, years later, to make up for all that he owed all those years?
Similar encounters, but Ye Fan and Li Xiaohong, but they made different choices.
Li Xiaohong chooses to forgive, while Ye Fan, on the other hand, takes a path of no return!
"Don't you hate him?"
After a long silence, Ye Fan suddenly asked.
Li Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and suddenly shook her head and laughed, saying softly, "I used to hate it, but now, it's nothing to feel."
"After all, everyone has the right to choose their own life."
"What's more, when my father divorced my mother back then, he gave my mother all the properties in the countryside."
"It's not much, but at least, I can tell that Dad has a love for my mother."
"Perhaps, he had a bitter reason for divorcing my mother back then, and was forced to do so."
Li Xiaohong said superficially, this kind girl always tried to guess others with the greatest of good intentions.
Back then, his father, a few years after leaving home, suddenly sent someone to divorce her mother, and then there was no more news.
At that time, Li Xiaohong also felt that her father was a bit heartless, but as she grew up and experienced more and more things, she had a different perspective on many things.
She knew that there were too many things in this world that she could not control.
There were also too many things that were by no means as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Thus, gradually, Li Xiaohong was able to look down on her father's affairs.
Now that her father wanted her to go to Yanjing to continue her studies to study for a PhD and receive a better education, and her mother was in favor of it, Li Xiaohong went to Yanjing to find her own father, as her parents had wished.
"Mm."
"Then Xiaohong, congratulations."
"If you were in a novel, you'd be the main character template ah."
"When you get to Yanjing, you might be able to inherit a billion dollar family fortune and completely take the pinnacle of life, making me too high to climb."
Ye Fan poked fun at the humor.
But no one saw that, at this time, in Ye Fan's eyebrows and eyes, that inexplicable emotion.
Back then, did his father have his bitterness for what he had done?
Evan, I don't know!
-----.
Jianghai is not far from Yanjing, it's only an hour or two away by plane, and it passes quickly.
After arriving in Yanjing, Ye Fan wanted to say goodbye to Li Xiaohong at this point, but he didn't expect that Li Xiaohong would insist on inviting Ye Fan to his home for a meal before leaving.
"My father runs a hotel."
"After we have dinner, you also happen to stay at the hotel."
"Mr. Chu, you don't have to excuse yourself, it's just a meal, it won't take you too long."
Li Xiaohong said with anticipation.
Seeing the pomp and circumstance, Ye Fan didn't make any excuses and agreed.
At this time, Li Xiaohong's father, Li Lubin, called, saying that there was a traffic jam on the road, and it was expected to take half an hour to arrive, asking her to wait outside the airport for a while now.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, also happened to take advantage of this gap and was going to watch for something to buy near the airport.
After all, this first visit, you can't go empty-handed, right?
"Hmm?"
"I didn't think I'd run into a good one?"
At this time, Ye Fan was passing by an antique shop, but he was attracted by a rusty bronze tripod inside.
A few minutes later, when Ye Fan appeared in front of Li Xiaohong again, but he was already carrying a gift bag in his hand.
"Xiaohong, there was a traffic jam on the road, dad is late."
At this time, Li Xiaohong's father also happened to arrive.
Only to see a middle-aged man, dressed in a suit, with a friendly smile on his lips, after seeing Li Xiaohong, he was suddenly happy and gave Li Xiaohong a big hug.
"Xiaohong, get in the car.Your Auntie Liping has seated a table for you, and is waiting for you to return and pick up the dust for you."
In between the words, Li Lubin smiled and urged Li Xiaohong to get into the car.
"Dad, this is Mr. Chu, he has helped me a lot in the past, and this time I also want to invite him to come over with us and have a meal with us, do you think it's okay?"Li Xiaohong was now introducing Ye Fan to her father.
"Hmm?Mr. Chu?"Only then did Li Lubin notice the skinny young man at the side, plainly dressed, looking plain and unimpressive, not like a big man in the slightest.
But his own daughter, why did she respectfully call him Mr. Chu?
You know, generally speaking, people who can be called "Mr." are people of high esteem.
Ordinary people really can't afford to be called "sir".
"I guess it's some rich young master who has a low profile in his affairs."
But at the same time, Li Lubin also reckoned that his daughter, I'm afraid, was in love with this Mr. Chu, right?
After all, if it wasn't a very close relationship, how could she bring it home for the first time in Yanjing?
"It would be a blessing for Xiaohong if she could marry into a rich and noble family."
Li Lubin secretly thought to himself, and in the end, naturally, he readily agreed.As he thanked Ye Fan, he warmly invited him to his home as a guest.
Li Lubin's home was a single-family villa in the suburbs of Yanjing.
Although this location was a bit remote, but in the land of Yanjing where every inch of land was precious, to own a single-family villa was enough to make many people envious.
It also showed that Li Xiaohong's father, presumably, was really a small and powerful man in Yanjing.
"Mr. Chu, don't be polite.It's just like your own home here, eat openly, no need to be formal."
At the dinner table, Li Lubin was laughing.
The daughter who had been apart for many years, reunited with him today, Li Lubin was obviously very happy, and drank several cups in a row himself, his old face was a little red.
At this time, sitting next to Li Lubin, is his wife Sun Liping, and his daughter Li Yuan.
After divorcing Li Xiaohong's mother, Li Lubin married Sun Liping, and Li Yuan is the daughter of him and Sun Liping.
However, Sun Liping and her mother were obviously not very welcoming to Li Xiaohong as an unwelcome guest.Especially Li Yuan, who always had a straight face.
After all, to their mother and son, Li Xiaohong was an outsider after all.
"Yuan Yuan, your sister is here, why don't you call out to her?"
"No manners at all?"
At this time, Li Lubin, however, was somewhat blaming Li Yuan.
Li Yuan snorted: "My mother only has this one daughter, how can I have any sister."
"You~" Li Lubin was so angry that his old face was blue and was about to lash out, but he was stopped by Li Xiaohong.
"Dad, it's okay.Yuan Yuan and I aren't too far apart in age, so it doesn't matter if we call each other sisters or not."Li Xiaohong, however, smiled faintly.
"Hmph, hypocritical."Li Yuan snorted lowly, while no longer speaking and bowing her head to eat.
Sun Liping was not as capricious as Li Yuan, she was at least face to face with Li Xiaohong.After a few simple greetings to Li Xiaohong, she looked at Ye Fan at the side with great interest.
In her opinion, Li Xiaohong brought a person of the opposite sex to her door for the first time in Yanjing.
The relationship between the two of them must not be shallow.
Most likely, it was a lovers' relationship.
Sun Li Ping was naturally curious about this possible son-in-law.She would like to see what kind of husband Li Xiaohong, a woman born to a rural woman, had found.
Could it be that she has really hugged the thighs, and the turkey has turned into a phoenix?
Curious, Sun Liping then looked at Ye Fan and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Chu, I heard that you are a big figure in Jiangdong?"
"At your age, to be respected in Jiangdong, I'm afraid that your family, must have an extraordinary background, right?"
"I just don't know, what kind of business does Mr. Chu's family do?"
At the dinner table, Li Lubin's wife, smiling politely at Ye Fan, asked.
But Ye Fan shook his head: "Madam misunderstood.Like Xiaohong, I'm a farmer's son."
"I grew up as an elder in the countryside, bowing to the countryside, where do I have any background?And what's the big deal?"
"If I had to say what my background is, then the land that my mother and I used to cultivate together is my greatest background, right?"
Ye Fan said indifferently.His words were as calm as they could be, and he didn't have any intention of hiding anything, nor did he have any appearance of being difficult to talk about.
When the others asked about Ye Fan's background, Ye Fan never concealed it.There was nothing to hide either.
Now that the Li family asked him, he answered like this.
In the future, even if the Chu family asked him, he would still answer like this!
From the time he was expelled from the Chu family back then, Ye Fan was no longer the son of the Chu family.
He only knew that he was the son of a peasant!
Any time anyone asked him, he would answer like this.
Never, because of his mother's birth, would he feel any inferiority!
Besides, what's wrong with being from the countryside?
So what if you're a child of the cold?
Family background was never a yoke or shackle that limited the size of one's achievements.
Ye Fan never felt that birth was such an important thing.
Just like what Ye Fan said to Zhao Lichun at the beginning.
Even in a poor countryside, there are true dragons lying around.
Even though he was from a humble family, he was still immensely powerful!
"A farmer's son?"
"You're from the country too?"
However, when Sun Liping heard this, her look was immediately stagnant, and the smile that had been all over her face was gone.
Li Yuan, who was on the side, was even happier when she heard this.
"Heh~"
"And I thought this country woman was hugging a thigh, but now she's a redneck, too, huh?"
"It's really fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp ah."
"And yes, how could someone from a rich family be blind to a country woman?"
Li Yuanyuan sneered and laughed, looking at Li Xiaohong, her half-sister, with undoubtedly even more disdain and contempt.
From the very beginning, Li Yuan had despised hillbillies like Li Xiaohong in her heart, and to have a blood relationship with this kind of woman, Li Yuan felt humiliated.
She didn't even want to eat at the same table with such people, feeling dirty!
"Hope, how do you talk?"
"People Mr. Chu is being modest."
"After the real magnates, when they go out that's extremely low-key."
"Just like our richest man in Yanjing, when we met him on the road before, wasn't he also a pair of jeans and a white shirt, wearing a simple and simple outfit?"
"As the saying goes, return to the basics."
"When you've truly mastered great wealth and power, you don't care about things like vanity anymore."
"Mr. Chu, don't you think so?"Li Lubin was still speaking politely.
He didn't believe that his daughter would lie and deceive people, Li Xiaohong said that Ye Fan was a big figure in Jiangdong, so could it still be a lie to him?
Li Yuan still scoffed and laughed, "Dad, this isn't a big deal, it's not just a mouthful."
"Didn't he bring us a gift, why don't you show it to us?"
"At that time, this Mr. Chu in front of me, whether he's a real loser or a fake superior, it's natural to know at a glance!"
"Rich people, no matter how low-key they are, that's also low-key to themselves.This visiting friends and relatives to give gifts, it wouldn't also be low key enough to give a few pieces of junk that you can't get your hands on, would it?"
Li Yuan said coldly, and Li Lu Bin nodded.
What his daughter said was indeed reasonable.Even though some rich people were low-key, they would never be worse in terms of manners.
If this Ye Fan was really like what his own daughter said, that there was a famous and famous big man in Jiangdong, then this gift would naturally not be bad.
"How about it, Mr. Chu, take it out and let us see what kind of gift you, a big man, has given to our family, right?"Li Yuan sat there as if she was watching a good show, watching Ye Fan.
Her mother, Sun Liping, didn't say anything, apparently also wanting to see the truth about this Mr. Chu in front of her.
To Li Yuan's mocking laughter, Ye Fan ignored it.
Instead, he looked at Li Lubin and gave him the gift bag beside him: "Uncle Li, when I first arrived, a little gift is not a token of respect."
In the middle of his speech, Ye Fan placed a four-legged bronze tripod on the table.
This bronze tripod was not large, only the size of an adult's palm.It was just that, perhaps because it had been dusty for too long, it was covered in rust and dust all over it.
Seeing this rusty copper tripod, Li Yuan burst out laughing.
"What do I take for a great gift?"
"So it's just a piece of broken metal."
"I'm afraid you didn't pick it up from the garbage, did you?"
"And you have the nerve to send this kind of stuff out?"
"What a laugh!"
"Dad, what did I say?"
"Where's this guy, you've been duped by that hillbilly daughter of yours."
"That's just a hick."
After seeing the broken tripod in Ye Fan's hand, Li Yuan was close to laughing so hard that she was about to burst into tears.
I thought to myself that this Li Xiaohong and Ye Fan and the two of them are probably idiots, and they still think this is the countryside ah?
A piece of broken metal and you have the nerve to give it as a gift?
Sun Liping's face also darkened then, and she was no longer patient, slapping the table: "Li Lubin, look at the good daughter you've invited!"
"It's not enough to raise one turtle, but now you're inviting another?"
"Our house is not a shelter."
"It's bad enough to take in one country bumpkin, but now two at once?"
"Get them out of here now!"
"Or else, you get out of this house together."
Sun Liping scolded in an angry voice, filled with disgust.
She was already extremely unhappy with Li Lubin for bringing Li Xiaohong over, but now who would have thought that his country daughter would not only come by herself, but also bring her poor boyfriend from the countryside as well.
What did she want?
Come here to eat and drink?
What do you take her house for?Unjust?
Sun Liping was undoubtedly extremely angry, and immediately left the table with her daughter Li Yuan, angry.
For a time, a meal that was originally a good one, suddenly broke up unhappily.Here, only Li Xiaohong and three others were left.
"Dad, I'm sorry to embarrass you, but I really didn't lie to you ah Chu Yun, Mr. Chu he, really is a big man."
"That's enough!"Li Xiaohong still wanted to explain, but Li Lu Bin shouted angrily, scaring Li Xiaohong to lower her head, not daring to say another word.
After saying that, Li Lu Binton looked at Ye Fan, no longer polite and warm, full of displeasure: "I don't care if you are Mr. Chu, or a hick.But I'm warning you now, stay away from my daughter in the future."
"If you ever let me know that you compel to seduce my daughter again, I, Li Lu Bin, will never spare you."
"Also, this is not a shelter for me.Xiaohong is my daughter, I have no choice but to raise her."
"As for you, if you want to scrounge up food and drink, you're looking in the wrong place!"
"I don't want to drive you away, if you still have any self-respect, leave on your own."
Li Lu Bin said in a deep voice, and his icy words were full of anger contained within them.
Apparently, Li Lu Bin also regarded Ye Fan as a liar who compelled her daughter.
A country boy, still deceiving Xiaohong as Mr. Chu, pretending to be a big man posing there?
I almost fooled him, too!
Now of course he was angry.
If it wasn't for his own daughter's face, Li Lubin would have turned his face over and kicked Ye Fan out.
"Dad, why are you like this?"
"Mr. Chu he is a guest invited by my daughter after all, but you..."
Seeing that her own father had even headed out to drive Ye Fan, Li Xiaohong became anxious and said bitterly with her beautiful eyes red.
After all, Ye Fan was the guest she had invited, but now he had suffered such treatment, and no one knew how guilty and ashamed Li Xiaohong was at this time.
"You've been lied to and you don't know it?"
"How dare you defend him?"
Li Lubin harshly reprimanded, a few words but nearly will Li Xiaohong to cry.
At this time, Ye Fan is still sitting there, look calm, clear and beautiful face above, let people can not see the slightest bit of emotion.
Only as if a spring of water, let Sun Liping, Li Lubin and others how to ridicule, but always did not in his heart, set off any waves.
"I'm going!"
"You're a thick-skinned redneck, aren't you?"
"My parents have kicked you out and you're still stuck here?"
"Take your shit and get out of here!"
At this time, Li Yuan, who had just left, but came back over, seeing that Ye Fan was still deadly sitting there and not leaving, Li Yuan was undoubtedly even more disgusted and walked over to pick up the four-legged rusty tripod that Ye Fan had given her and threw it straight out towards the door.
"Get out!"Li Yuan growled low.
"Why don't you get out of here?"Sun Liping didn't know when, but she also came over, and with eyes full of disgust, she also lowly roared at Ye Fan.
The only person present was Li Xiaohong with a sad face, full of tears, lowering her head and unable to stop saying sorry to Ye Fan.
At this time, Li Xiaohong was full of self-reproach.
If it wasn't because of her invitation, Ye Fan wouldn't have suffered such an insult.
If it wasn't because of her humble nature, Ye Fan wouldn't have suffered such cold treatment in this family.
However, at this time, Ye Fan was the one who walked forward and gently helped Li Xiaohong wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, smiling faintly, "Xiaohong, you are not at fault, why do you need to say you are sorry."
"It's them who are at fault, and it's also them who have eyes but no pearls."
"It's just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to continue accompanying you for this meal today."
"I'll make it up to you when I have the chance some other day."
Ye Fan smiled lightly, and after saying that, Ye Fan no longer stopped and turned around.
However, when Ye Fan leaned over to pick up the four-legged rusty tripod, Ye Fan turned his back to Li Lubin and the others and smiled coldly, "If it wasn't for Xiaohong today, you people really wouldn't have the qualifications, to eat at the same table with me."
The cold voice, with an icy chill, but in this hall, swept through.
Under Ye Fan's words, Li Lubin and the others trembled unconsciously.
The feeling was only as if what was standing in front of them at this time was not a countryside person from a poor background, but a majestic and thick huge mountain!
The family couldn't help but feel terrified.
At a certain moment, Li Lubin couldn't help but wonder if this young man in front of him was really an unknown big shot?
At this time, Ye Fan had already left.
Here, there was only the cold wind sweeping, and the echo of Ye Fan's cold and majestic aftermath.
After Ye Fan left, Li Xiaohong, however, had infinite grief in her heart.
Her teary eyes, looking at Li Yuan, looking at Sun Liping, looking at everyone present, her miserable voice then sounded, "Dad, sooner or later, you will understand, what kind of big person are you driving away today?"
"You guys will definitely regret this."
Li Xiaohong tearfully roared, while she then ran into the room in tears.
Li Lu Bin looked embarrassed, and there was no doubt some drumming in his heart at this point.
Could it be that he, Li Lu Bin, had really offended someone big?
"Heh, what the fuck?"
"A piece of broken brass and you picked it up?"
"If this kind of poor person is also a big shot, then I, Li Yuan, would be the queen."
"That's ridiculous."
Li Yuan shook her head and laughed, only to feel as if she had watched a joke.Now that Ye Fan was gone, the farce, undoubtedly, had come to an end.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to bed first."
"Tomorrow I have to attend a birthday party with our CEO, it's said to be the Xu family's eldest daughter's birthday party, I have to be refreshed."
Li Yuan waved her hand and then went back to her room to rest as well.
However, Li Yuan's mother obviously didn't let Li Lubin off the hook, and still cursed at Li Lubin after returning to her room.
"I've long said that country daughter of yours isn't a thing."
"It's not enough to scrounge up food and drink by herself, but she also brought a wild man along."
"How shameless~"
"What do you need a daughter like her for?"
"No shame in that~"
"Okay, keep your voice down, don't let Xiaohong hear you."Li Lu Bin frowned.
"What?She's so nice to do it, and she's embarrassed to be told, so I won't whisper."
What happened after the Li family, Ye Fan naturally didn't know.
At this time, Ye Fan had already checked into the hotel that Han Lao had booked for him in advance.
"Little Lord, it has been contacted."
"In three days, the Starfire we supported in Yanjing will contact you."
"As for the last few days, he was not in Yanjing."
"Now after learning of your personal visit to Yanjing, he has immediately headed back."
From the phone, came Han's deep voice.
Ye Fan nodded, "Just in time, before that, I have to go to the Xu family."
"Did you look into all the things I asked you to look into about the Xu family before?"
"Mm."Han Lao immediately responded, "Little Lord, I've already sent the information to you."
"The Xu family is not small, at its heyday back then, it was ranked as one of the four most powerful families in Yanjing."
"However, since the Xu family's old man lost his life, the Xu family is now no longer at its peak and is declining."
"But after all, it's a hundred year old family with a strong foundation, and its connections and power in all walks of life are intertwined."
"If the young lord were to deal with the Xu family, he would probably face quite a bit of resistance,"
Han Lao warned worriedly.
Ye Fan remained silent for a long time, standing alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a teacup in his hand, the heat in the cup dense, just like this looking out at the vast starry sky, after a long time, the corners of his mouth lightly opened, smiling proudly.
"The four great giants?A hundred year old family?"
"So what!"
"Even if it's the Tiger's Den Dragon Pond, I, Chu Tianfan, have to go over there and take a walk."
"Bring Little Lei, out of it."
"That silly girl has been looking for me for ten years.Even if I can't give her the happiness she wants, I still have to let her have it, the freedom she deserves."
Ye Fan arrogantly whispered, while lifting the cup of tea and extending his hand to the vast starry sky outside.
Tilting his head, he drank the full cup of turbid tea!
"Since that's the case, I wish the young master, all the best for tomorrow."
"By the way, I understand that tomorrow is also the birthday of Second Miss Xu Lei of the Xu family.If the young master wants to give Miss Xu a huge surprise, he can instead prepare a gift."
At this time, there came another, faint reminder from Old Man Han.
Ye Fan nodded his head and only returned one, good word!
Yanjing, Xu Family.
Before the huge manor, but at this time is full of parked cars.
Yanjing city countless dignitaries, but holding their wives, dressed in full costume, just like this in a group of waiters, led towards the hall.
Today, the Xu family's movement made very large, colorful flowers, red carpets, the courtyard in front of the decorative flower clusters, but will today's Xu manor, decorated extraordinarily bright.
The pedestrians walking by the roadside, have a sideways glance, looking at the scene of the gathering of guests, luxury cars full of ground, eyebrows all reveal the light of envy.
"What's going on with the Xu family?"
"Could it be that Second Miss Xu, is going to be married today?"
"Wasn't it December 12th?"
At this time, the eyes of the pedestrians on the roadside, looking at the Xu family, were filled with doubt.
Many people were discussing.
"I go, don't you know about such a big thing?"
"The Xu family is not putting on this show today for Second Miss Xu."
"Rather, it's for the Xu family's eldest miss, Xu Meifeng."
"Today is the birthday banquet of the Xu family's eldest miss."
"A month ago, the Xu family released news on various media to promote it.The elites and dignitaries from all walks of life were invited to attend the meeting."A lover in the crowd said slowly.
"Just a birthday party, all that big?"
"This car dragon stretches a thousand meters, doesn't it?"
"It's at least half of Yanjing City's dignitaries are here!"
"It's worthy of the Xu family, Yanjing's oldest and most powerful family, it's just different."
Many people were filled with envy and emotion after learning that today was just a birthday banquet for the Xu family's eldest daughter.
Many women were even more yearning in their hearts, thinking that this was life.
A birthday banquet with a row that could compare to a state banquet!
Compared to others, the lives of these ordinary people like them were unbearable.
"But I guess the Xu family is hosting a birthday banquet is just a gimmick, and the main purpose is to choose a son-in-law for the Xu family's eldest daughter, right?"
"Second Miss Xu is getting married, Xu Meifeng, the cousin, is obviously anxious as well."
"But it's a pity that Second Miss Xu, such a nice person, is going to end up marrying that second ancestor of the Xue family?"
"I guess in the future, this second miss of the Xu family is afraid that she'll be trampled under the feet of the eldest miss forever!"
Many people shake their heads at the thought of this.
This search for a man, for a woman, is like a second reincarnation.
If you marry well, the turkey can become a phoenix.
If you don't marry well, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life.
Outside of the villa, many passersby who were watching the fun were discussing.
It's not just a matter of time, it's also a matter of time before you have a chance to get to know each other," he said.Of course, the most eye-catching among them was the noble woman who looked like a canary, Xu's eldest daughter Xu Meifeng.
However, in the midst of the prosperous scene downstairs, a penthouse in the villa was surprisingly quiet.
It was prosperous outside, but here it was as quiet as autumn.
In the room, there was a stunningly elegant woman sitting quietly in front of the window like this.
The outside sunlight, through the fine shutters, light sprinkling down, shining in her body, but sprinkled a ground haze.
It's not just a matter of time, it's also a matter of time.
Only as if a forgotten corner, outside flowers with brocade, this side of desolate full of cloth.
"Miss, they are too much."
"Obviously today is also your birthday, but they do not care to ask without saying, but they also grounded you."
"Simply bullying!"Behind him, a bland voice suddenly came out.
Only Lin Wenjing came from outside, but she was full of anger and even complained to Xu Lei.
"Mr. Xu, you don't know how lively it is outside."
"The Tang family in the south of the city, the Su family in the north of the city, even the Tang family in Jinling sent people over to celebrate that Xu Meifeng's birthday."
"You are unaware, that Xu Meifeng is so proud of herself as if she is an imperial princess."
"She doesn't even think about how they got their current glory, it's not even Miss your parents who fought hard to get it."
"But now, not only are they not grateful to Miss your parents, but they have grounded Miss, and now they even want to find anyone to marry her off."
"Paying lip service to your consideration for Miss you, I see ah, they just want to drive you out of the Xu family as soon as possible so that they can take over all of the Xu family's possessions openly and honestly."
The more Lin Wenjing thought about it, the angrier she became, and her pretty face was even redder at this point.
She had been in the Xu family for many years and knew the Xu family very well.
Although the Xu family was known as a hundred year old family, it was really mid-rise when Xu Lei's father was in power.
Later on, Xu Lei's parents passed away unexpectedly, and at that time, Xu Lei was far away in Jiangdong, so the Xu family's industry naturally fell into the hands of Xu Lei's second uncle.
The so-called Xu family's eldest daughter, Xu Meifeng, is naturally the daughter of Xu Lei's second uncle.
But in Lin Wenjing's eyes, the real daughter of the Xu family had always been Xu Lei!
"It's just not good to be without your parents."
"When you are oppressed and bullied in the family, you have to put up with it, but you have no one to rely on."
"Miss, don't be sad either.No one is giving you your birthday, I'll give it to you."
Lin sighed, only feeling extraordinarily sorry for Xu Lei.
Not only was the family business that should have belonged to her robbed, but now even the annual birthday banquet had been robbed by that Xu Meifeng family.
Lin Wenjing didn't dare to imagine how Xu Lei's path should be in the future.
These two princesses of the Xu family were both born on the same day.
Now that they were only given to Xu Meifeng to pass over, but completely ignored Xu Lei, Lin Wenjing certainly felt forked.
In between sighs, but Lin Wenjing placed a birthday cake on the table and helped Xu Lei light the birthday candle.
Xu Lei watched, but lightly smiled, a smile, filled with endless desolation.
"Wenjing, thank you so much."
"These years, it's fortunate to have you with me."
"Every birthday, and only you remember."
"Without you, I guess I, Xu Lei, would have really become that person who was forgotten by the entire world."
Xu Lei said softly, but at this time, she no longer had the majesty and power that she had in Yunzhou, there was only endless desolation and loneliness.
Her parents passed away unexpectedly, the family fortune was occupied by someone, and now even her annual birthday was taken away.
Even if Xu Lei had a strong heart, she would feel heartache and sadness at this time, right?
In a trance, it was as if Xu Lei had seen that night in the Chu family more than ten years ago today.
There was a silly teenager, wearing clothes scratched by a branch, holding two apples stolen from a tree, giving them to her and wishing her a happy birthday.
Xu Lei still remembers, because she doesn't like to eat apple peels, and she doesn't have a knife by her side, the boy helped her to gnaw off the apple peels bit by bit with his teeth.
Later on, in order to thank him, Xu Lei also used her mouth to peel another apple for him.
After peeling the apple, the two of them even switched and ate it.
I was young and ignorant at the time, but now that I think about it, how ambiguous that kind of behavior was at that time?
It was as if she had received countless kisses from him.
That was the first birthday gift Xu Lei had ever received from an outsider.
It was also the first and only gift that the young man, had given her!
It's just that, after all these years, that teenager back then has finally started a family.
I guess he has already forgotten his own birthday, right?
Have you even forgotten the girl who called him Little Brother Fan back then?
Time, after all, changes too many things.
Nowadays, Xu Lei, how much she wants to go back to her childhood.
Back then, beauty was still young.
Back then, heroes were young!
Unknowingly, Xu Lei had actually burst into tears.
The cold crystal, flowing down the stunningly beautiful cheeks, strung into beads and also connected into lines.
It's just like the dull pearl of the night.
Lin Wenjing, who was on the side, only felt her heart was breaking.
She clenched her palms, her shell teeth biting her red lips, she was close to being unable to help but say, what Ye Fan had instructed her to say before.
But Lin Wenjing, in the end, still managed to hold back.
She was afraid, afraid that Ye Fan would not come.
Even more afraid, afraid that Xu Lei would be disappointed.
She didn't dare to give Xu Lei too much misty hope, and the current Xu Lei was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take any more blows.
Therefore, Lin Wenjing didn't tell Xu Lei about her visit to Jiangdong, let alone that Ye Fan was coming.
However, at this time, Lin Wenjing was in her heart, praying over and over again.
"Mr. Ye, you may, you must come~"
"Definitely~"


Now you're the jury at my trial.
But now I'm back to cry my heart out for just one more chance.
This one was first popularized by Bing Crosby...twice! Bing first recorded "Just One More Chance" May 4, 1931, with the Victor Young Orchestra. It charted for 19 weeks, including two weeks at number one. Bing re-recorded the song for Decca June 9, 1939, and once again it charted for another 5 weeks, reaching as high as number 16.

i had an imaginative childhood.
Inspired by found objects, patterns and nature, my career is in creating items that push the imagination and curiosity of the onlooker.
After practicing ceramic art for a decade and graduating from The College of Wooster with a Bachelors in Studio Art (having focused mostly on sculptural and figurative work), I found myself with the desire for a change in medium. I was also looking to create artistic pieces that have function. I wanted to work with wood and metal but at the time did not have the means for producing work from the raw materials.
Thus began my journey into the world of found objects. I browse thrift stores and garage sales looking for the old and unusual. I search for shapes and forms that have withstood the test of time. I look for items that are visually interesting outside of their function and determine how I can reorient them, change their context, and create new imagery.

Turkey welcomes Bush promises
By Warren P. Strobel and McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Monday promised Turkey's prime minister improved intelligence-sharing and high-level military contacts to counter Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, easing fears of a major Turkish cross-border incursion in the coming days.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said after talks with Bush at the White House that Turkey remains prepared to strike into northern Iraq, where the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, is launching deadly attacks on Turkey.
"Turkey has the power to defend itself," Erdogan said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington. "We are on the point of using our rights emanating from international law," he added, apparently referring to the right of self-defense.
But Erdogan gave no sign that a military operation was imminent and at one point told the audience with a smile that he was "happy" with the results of the discussions with Bush.
Turkey has amassed an estimated 100,000 soldiers on its southeastern border facing Iraq, and its parliament voted overwhelmingly last month to authorize operations against the PKK.
The crisis has put the United States in an uncomfortable position between two allies: Turkey, a partner in NATO, and Iraq, where U.S. troops are fighting to bring about rough stability.
A Turkish incursion could destabilize the one relatively peaceful part of Iraq, the largely Kurdish north, and give Iraq's other neighbors cover to intervene.
Turkish leaders, private analysts and even Bush's former special envoy for dealing with the PKK, retired Air Force Gen. Joseph Ralston, have criticized the administration for failing to deal with the problem more urgently.
Bush, in a brief Oval Office appearance with Erdogan, seemed at pains to empathize with Turkey's concerns.
"The PKK is a terrorist organization. They're an enemy of Turkey. They're an enemy of Iraq, and they're an enemy of the United States," Bush said.

The first wedding of the season always brings a mixture of excitement and nervousness to me. I organize, reorganize and count the number of lashes and supplies that my makeup kit can hold. I run through different makeup looks and scenarios trying to troubleshoot anything prior to the big day. I think these feelings arise due to a small superstition that the first wedding is going to set the precedent for the season. Kelsey Cheda's wedding was our kickoff to Wedding Season 2017 and it was the smoothest wedding I have ever worked. The day started off beautiful, all of our stylists were on point and well caffeinated and the bridal party was a group of beautiful, sweet women.
Jenny, Lindsey and myself arrived at Kelsey's family ranch, Cheda Hills Ranch, in the early morning and were able to observe the hard work and thought that transformed a working ranch into a country chic wedding venue. Jenny's parents and Kelsey's parents have been friends for years, so Jenny was especially excited to see the transformation. Growing up in a small town everyone knows everyone, especially within the dairy industry. Jenny's parents and Kelsey's parents went to high school together and both are involved with the dairy industry. Kelsey's aunt was even Jenny's 4-H Leader! Even though Kelsey and Jenny are different ages they grew up knowing each other due to their parents friendship. We were all honored when Kelsey asked EB Elite Artistry to do the hair and makeup for her special day.
Kelsey creatively wove many traditional and nontraditional elements into her wedding day. However, she chose a traditional approach to her hair and makeup. Jenny chose a neutral makeup palette to highlight Kelsey's natural beauty. Her hair was swept away from her face in a low loose bun. The overall look was simple elegance and was perfect for her outdoor wedding. Kelsey's bridesmaids chose a variety of makeup looks and hairstyles based on their personal style and the variety of Show Me Your Mumu bridesmaid dresses. I think its great when the bride gives her bridal party the freedom to choose their own style of hair and makeup because they exude confidence when they precede the bride down the aisle. The mother of the bride looked beautiful with soft brown makeup colors and her hair styled to perfection.

Culture website ProDaVinci prospers in repressive Venezuela
作者 James Breiner
Oct 30, 2018 发表在 Media Sustainability
Angel Alayon is an economist in one of the craziest economies in the world, Venezuela, where inflation is more than 60 percent annually. It is awash in petroleum yet has chronic shortages of milk.
And he is a journalist in a country whose government has been censoring enemies by buying them up and turning them into pro-government mouthpieces or cutting their supplies of newsprint.
Add to that, only 41 percent of the population are Internet users. So he is used to challenges. Maybe that is why he has been undaunted about creating a website with the unsexy concept of journalism of ideas, ProDaVinci.
With a full-time staff of only three, ProDaVinci has monthly traffic averaging 1.5 million page views to articles about economics, art, literature, science and technology.
The latest month's numbers from Google Analytics were:
1.6 million page views
852,000 users
1:22 average session duration
84 percent bounce rate
49.9 percent new users
"We don't compete with the news sites," Alayon told me in an interview in Mexico City, where he had given a workshop. "Our network of 50 collaborators, who are experts in their fields, responds very quickly to news events and offers analysis of what they mean and what their consequences will be."
The website's collaborators include professors and experts in architecture, economics, literature, public policy, culture, and many other topics.
Probably more important from a business perspective is that 15 percent of those users are coming to the site more than 9 times a month — loyal users, in other words. And 7 percent come more than 25 times a month.
The volume of traffic has started to attract advertising from media buyers, which has allowed the site to continue expanding gradually.
The biggest expense is the three full-time journalists. The business model has been to keep costs low and expand only as the growth in revenues allows. Alayon declined to give specific revenue numbers. Any profits are re-invested.
Alayon draws a monthly salary as director but the majority of his personal income comes from his work as a professor and consultant. He dedicates about three hours a day to ProDaVinci. A year ago he added a partner, the Venezuelan writer Oscar Marcano.
Journalism of ideas
Alayon started out writing a blog five years ago and converted it to an online magazine 2 1/2 years ago. I got to know him in 2011 when he was one of 10 participants in an online course in entrepreneurial journalism that I coordinated for the Foundation for New Journalism in Iberoamerica (FNPI, for its initials in Spanish).
From the beginning, Alayon's idea has been to create something more in-depth than the journalism he was seeing all around him. Obtaining high traffic numbers was never his goal. "Being a part of the conversation is more important than the number of clicks. You can't let yourself be tyrannized by clicks."
The big challenge for any digital medium, he said, is to attract a part of the fragmented digital audience. All media and social networks are competing for people's attention. But for him, it is not as important that a particular article received 100,000 page views as it is that an article with 1,000 page views reached people who have the power to steer policy or effect change.
It is easy to get lots of clicks with stories about sex and celebrity scandal, he said. What gets him excited is to hear that an article on ProDaVinci started a discussion among people over lunch or at a meeting.
Censorship in Venezuela
Another challenge is avoiding the heavy hand of the government of President Nicolas Maduro, whose socialist policies have lost popularity because of rampant inflation and chronic shortages of basic products. The falling price of crude oil has hit the government hard since it depends on exports for much of its revenue.
For Alayon, the formula is not self-censorship but high ethical standards: don't attack people or institutions, but do challenge their ideas. For topics that are controversial, he and his team give special attention to verifying facts and figures. They do not let writers express opinions that are not buttressed by facts.
Alayon, 42, has a bachelor's degree from the University of Santa Maria in Caracas and a master's degree from the University of Chicago, where he focused on applied economics. Although Chicago is famous for nurturing conservative economists, Alayon's own writing does not necessarily follow that line.
Audience becomes mobile, social
Alayon worries every day about how to compete for attention and keep the traffic coming. The Internet audience has changed dramatically in just the last year. Half the site's traffic now comes from mobile devices, so he is planning to invest and create a mobile version of the content.
The other big change is that two-thirds of the traffic is now coming from social networks, with half of that from Facebook alone. When Facebook tweaks its algorithm, every website feels it.
"The issue is the same for social networks and the whole ecosystem of digital media --reputation," he said. "The goal is that people know if they enter your site it's because your content is carefully crafted and responsibly researched. And it should not be boring."
Alayon wants everyone who comes to ProDaVinci -- even those who visit just once or twice month to read a particular writer -- to experience carefully crafted and edited work.
ProDaVinci is also on the country's top non-music radio station with twice a week with one-hour interview programs during drive time and is producing a 15-minute video interview program twice a month that has obtained a sponsor.
Alayon compares the business of attracting and keeping an audience to the secret of maintaining a successful marriage. He quoted the Nobel Prize-winning novelist and journalist Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who said, "You have to get up every day with the goal of winning your spouse's love as if it were the very first time."
Below is a full video interview with Alayon in Spanish.

The 2018 Mineola High School Marching Band.
Posted Wednesday, October 3, 2018 12:30 am
Mineola Band Director Chris Brannon and the East Texas Music Awards trophy.

Although UIL rules prohibit them from taking another shot this year at a state crown, the Mineola High School Marching Band nevertheless earned recognition recently as one of the finest musical groups in East Texas.
An acknowledgement of their excellence came Sept. 10 in Gilmer when Mineola High's 100-member musical ensemble was named 2018 Marching Band of the Year at the East Texas Music Awards.
The annual red carpet affair pays homage to aspiring artists and the top musical talent in East Texas – from blues, rock and jazz to country, bluegrass and hip hop. In all, artists and talents from 31 categories were nominated and then voted on by fans. The 2018 event was co-hosted by Kadie Lynn, a featured artist on America's Got Talent season 11.
The Mineola High School Marching Band, which last year was judged the best in Texas in Conference 3A, was nominated along with bands from Carthage, Kilgore, Sabine and Athens. MHS Band Booster President Candice Holt attended the event and received the award on behalf of band.
Mineola High's band director Chris Brannon said the band's success over the past few years can be chalked up to several factors.
"Great kids and great support," he said. "We've got an administration and school board that provides what we need. Good instruments and a schedule so we can work with the kids. Another thing we do is we share kids. Kids can play football and run over during halftime and play with the band, then go play the rest of the game. We've got a lot of great kids who do different things and they do it well and they get support."
They've managed to get the best out of the Yellowjackets band even though the "Sound of the Swarm" is ineligible to compete in the UIL State tournament in November.
"Well, we just try to teach our kids to strive for excellence," Brannon explained. "If there's not a big trophy at the end, that's not what we're working for anyway. Just be good at what you do. Excellence is excellence. Don't just go out there to win. It doesn't matter what the year is; if you're working toward that, everything else takes care of itself."
Brannon is assisted by Dago Gonzalez, Tyler Broadhurst and Stephanie Castor.
Also at the East Texas Music Awards, former Mineola music instructor John DeFoore was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. He is the founder and lead instructor for the DeFoore Music Institute. After playing and teaching for 10 years in the Dallas, he moved to East Texas 1989 and taught in Mineola. His students included Kacey Musgraves of Mineola, Miranda Lambert of Lindale, Michelle Shocked, Casey Rivers, Jon Wolfe, Jeff Allen, and Ryan Beaver. He now lives in Tyler.

Save Leitrim has first successful appeal against forestry in Leitrim
Leitrim Observer Reporter
Save Leitrim have been appealing forestry licences.
Members of the Save Leitrim group are celebrating their first successful appeal against plans to allow forestry in an "environmentally sensitive" area of north Leitrim.
The group lodged an appeal against plans to plant in the Shass area. Earlier this month Leitrim County Council acknowledged they had concerns over plans to plant forestry in this area.
A spokesperson for the local authority told the Manorhamilton Municipal meeting that the planning office in the council had issued a detailed comment to the Forestry Service on the proposed planting Shass/Tullyclevaun pointing out that this new planting, was in an area identified as "low capacity/high sensitivity."
A spokesperson for the council had added the proposed planting fell partially within an area identified as being of outstanding natural beauty in the County Development Plan 2015-2021 and said the planting in such a location "is strongly discouraged."
The council has also said that "where possible" the existing area under forest cover in this location "should be reduced."
Save Leitrim spokesperson, Justin Warnock, said "we had serious concerns about this planting in this part of the county. We fought hard against it and they (forestry appeals board) took everything we said on board. We are delighted to know that there will be no planting allowed at this location (Shass)."
He said this was the first successful appeal for the Save Leitrim group but said that they would continue to "fight tooth and nail against the planting of monoculture Sitka spruce."
"We had three more appeals last Monday and we have more coming up. We are at 20% plus forestry in Leitrim and there is no further capacity for more," he argued.
"Planting should not be allowed in areas of environmental sensitivity. We need to protect our environment and the existing bio-diversity and it's great that the appeals board are acknowledging the importance of areas of environmental sensitivity."
He described the situation as a "battle between David and Goliath" but vowed that "we'll continue to appeal these licences."
"When you have losses you do find it hard to pick up and keep fighting but a win like this gives you the heart to go on," he said.

Synaptics Reports Record Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results
Synaptics Reports Record Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results 33.6 KB
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 22, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Synaptics Inc. (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported record fiscal third quarter revenue, net income, and earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.
Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $116.2 million, an increase of approximately 16% from net revenue of $100.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and a decrease of approximately 13% from net revenue of $133.3 million for the previous quarter.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $11.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and net income of $12.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the previous quarter.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation and tax benefit from a loss carryback, was $16.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and net income of $21.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the previous quarter. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
"Synaptics delivered record fiscal third quarter results and double-digit revenue growth on a year-over-year basis, reflecting better than seasonal trends in both notebook PC and mobile phone applications, coupled with strong acceptance of our technology," stated Tom Tiernan, President and CEO. "We expect to end fiscal 2010 on a high note based on demand for our product offerings. As an innovation leader, Synaptics continues to be at the forefront of the industry for touch-based human interface solutions."
PC revenue of $72.9 million represented 63% of total revenue for the quarter and increased 44% from the comparable period last year. Synaptics benefited from better than expected demand from the notebook market and continued to drive increasing penetration of its multi-finger gesture enabled TouchPad and innovative ClickPad offerings.
Non-PC revenue of $43.3 million comprised 37% of total revenue for the quarter, with 36% generated by mobile phone applications. Performance from the mobile market reflected increasing adoption of Synaptics' high-quality capacitive touchscreen solutions by a growing number of major mobile handset manufacturers. Revenue from the portable digital entertainment market was down from the previous quarter, as expected.
Cash and short-term investments at March 31, 2010 totaled $168.7 million compared with $140.0 million at December 31, 2009.
Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, "Considering backlog of approximately $90 million entering the quarter, expected product mix, customer order patterns, and customer forecasts, we anticipate revenue in the June quarter to be between $136 million and $146 million, an increase of 18% to 26% over the comparable quarter last year. This outlook reflects continuing positive trends in our core markets."
Synaptics' board of directors approved an additional $100 million for the stock repurchase program expiring in April 2012. The $38.1 million remaining under the prior authorization, which was set to expire in July 2010 has been extended, such that $138.1 million remains available for the repurchase of company stock through April 2012.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income per share excluding share-based compensation, non-cash interest charges, and other items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation, non cash interest charges, and other items is not a measurement of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. The Company presents net income excluding share-based compensation, non-cash interest charges, and other items because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance. The Company believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of non-cash compensation charges, non-cash interest charges, and other items. Net income excluding share-based compensation, non-cash interest charges, and other items has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's GAAP net income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect the Company's actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its net income and net income per share.

I'm frequently on about how simple visual additions can lift something and perhaps make it more profound. This typical nativity set, though beautifully made, was just a nativity set. But then it was set up with hessian fabric (probably a grain bag) and white fabric streaming from the traditional star, through the core scene, to a lighted candle. What a difference. Thanks to a Facebook friend for posting this.

This too WAS NOT MADE BY ME!
All Credit goes to xl HazarD lx of Blueshadowz.info. All of the following was taken DIRECTLY from the ORIGINAL POST.
I forget where exactly I saw a post, but the person managed to edit their avatar's skin color. So after about 10 minutes of figuring out each color for the other features (hair, eyes, face paint etc). I decided I'd release a easy to use application. Using it is simple, I will update it so you don't have to do the next part, but that might be a while (rented Prototype lol :]). Anyways, to find out what the offset of the Avatar Data is refer to the Help section of the program. Has a nice little step by step tutorial.
Well with out further I do I present you the Avatar Color Editor.
Before you use this make a back up, just incase you **** up your profile you will have a working one. The program writes what is in the box, you add some stupid **** to it, and your SoL.
Basically the background color is the color that you will have for your avatar. You can choose any color, but you must hit the Set "Insert Part Here" Color, to choose it.
You can choose those colors, or hit the Define Custom Colors. That will show an added part onto it.
Now you just move the cursor to the selected color you want, and to choose the type of coloring move the pointer shown in the picture above. After you have chosen the color just click OK.
Alternatively you can enter your own color if you already know it.
***Don't be stupid and add letters G-Z or add spaces that will just **** it up, and you can say good bye to a working profile***.
Here is an example of what it does. Credit to Turk645 for the picture.
Whoever found the skin color first, I can't find the site I found it at, but awesome job.
SotG Caboose - for the research and original modding.
Give Credit to SOTG Caboose, he is the one who found how to do it.
yo dawg i herd bout dis somwar nd it r pr3tty cewl. Tell him to give me credit please.
I know. All of that was taken directly from the original post.
...you could still add it in.
Nice app. Does anyone know how GameTuts made the avatar invisible?
can you get banned?:? and perm. ban or wat?:?
I play 1 vs 100 all the time. My guy is green.
i guess it just depends who sees it?
Where do i get the avatar colour offset from?
partition 3/content/ E00000091..../FFFFE07D1(used to say "(dashboard)" now it says "(E0000000091...)")/00010000 then drag the file on to desktop and thats what i used is that right? if so or if not what am i doing wrong?
i tried doing this it worked but it didn't turn into the colors i want i made blue skin and it was normal but i got green hair red eyebrows and red eye shadow and i didn't want any of that! :cursing: any body else get this problem?
Just gonna paste what I put into the main avatar area.
Would have been nice if the prog offered a spot to just put the first offset of color in stead of working backwards to find some whacky # in a see of c1c8f1s to get the program to look for the values I already found.
"Figured id give this a whirl for fun.
Took a little while but I always seem to be the exception.
The Dec value you need for the offset, its the same as the offset for the c1 of the first c1c8f1, correct?
I could see that theres 9 color categories and they were separated by FF so I was able to find that section fairly easily, it was the whole working back to find the "first" offset to use for the editing tool. Prolly would have saved 5-10 mins if I just used the tool or checked online for color codes..."
