When Zhao Qian and Li Wei rushed back to the house, Liu Chunzhi was asking people to set out the dishes. Zhao Qian stepped forward to say hello again: "Hello, aunt."
Liu Chunzhi still didn't look at him, and Zhao Qian was indifferent to her when he spoke to her. Anyway, his face was full of disapproval, but fortunately, he was never kicked out like before.
Yang Man and Li Wei were busy serving the food. Li Jianping got excited and went to get a bottle of wine that he had treasured for a long time. He cheerfully said to Zhao Qian: "Today we have a distinguished guest, it's time to drink two cups."
Zhao Qian just smiled politely. After the food was served, everyone returned to their seats. Brother and sister Li Wei and Li Jianping sat to the left and right of Liu Chunzhi, Zhao Qian sat to the left of Li Wei, and opposite Yang Man.
The first glass of wine was raised by everyone, wishing Liu Chunzhi good health and a long life. Liu Chunzhi still found it helpful to face the blessings from her children.
Then Li Jianping began to care about Zhao Qian's affairs and began to ask his family: "I heard from Jianbo before that when you returned from overseas, what did your family do?"
Zhao Qian glanced at Li Wei and then said: "I have no father or mother, and I am an orphan."
The word "orphan" made everyone look at him. Zhao Qian went on to say, "I was adopted by a kind-hearted person. Later I returned to China and slowly started my acting career."
Yang Man thinks that Zhao Qian is really handsome, and even among those big stars who are all good-looking, his appearance is top-notch. Zhao Qian not only looks outstanding, but also exudes a noble aura that is rare in the entertainment industry. Such a character is so bright and beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
"If you can't do anything good, why do you have to act?" Liu Chunzhi curled her lips disapprovingly. Maybe in her opinion, it was not a serious job after all.
Zhao Qian was not annoyed when he heard what his future mother-in-law said. He said, "I entered this industry in order to gain a foothold as soon as possible and make a living. If Auntie thinks this is not good, I will stop acting in the future."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
What else could Zhao Qian do if he wasn't acting? Li Wei also thought that if he wanted to retire, he would just retire? In fact, Zhao Qian's acting skills are pretty good, and he looks like anything he plays. It's just a pity that he has not been very lucky. He has not won any awards in the more than ten years since he has been in the industry to prove his ability. He does not lack strength, but what he lacks now is a good script. As long as he encounters a good script, he will definitely reach a higher level with his efforts, and awards will beckon to him.
But wouldn’t it be a pity to just give up like this
Liu Chunzhi was also surprised and even asked: "What else can you do if you don't act?"
Zhao Qian chuckled and said, "Be a businessman and do business."
Li Jianping said: "Can you still do business?"
"Well, I used to work in catering, but the management was not very good, so I didn't continue it."
Zhao Qian knew very well that if he wanted to impress the Li family, he had to show his sincerity. As long as he can be with Li Wei, he is willing to give up everything about himself.
Li Jianping laughed when he heard about it: "It's true that a family doesn't stay in the same house. We have done catering before. But then we stopped due to urban reconstruction. Now we have opened a hotel, and we are planning to start catering again. . Leisure, food and health are all integrated.”
Zhao Qian followed suit: "Awei has never told me what our family does. My eldest brother is really good at running such a big stall by himself."
"It all depends on everyone's help, but I can't make it work by myself. What does Mr. Zhao think of the environment here?"
“The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is good.”
Li Jianping laughed after hearing this.
Li Wei didn't say a word, just listened to their conversation. Gradually, Zhao Qian's sense of restraint seemed to disappear. The more Li Jianping talked with him, the happier he became, and the atmosphere suddenly improved a lot.
Li Wei went to pay attention to his mother's face again, but saw that his mother always had a calm face, and Li Wei still felt uneasy.
The meal took an extremely long time. After the meal, Li Wei said that she was going back to the city. She had to go back to work. When Qiu Kai drove to pick them up, Li Wei and Zhao Qian said goodbye to their families.
Liu Chunzhi ignored Zhao Qian and just said to Li Wei: "Take care of yourself."
Li Wei hugged his mother and said with a smile: "Well, don't worry, Mom. I will come back to visit you during the holidays. Mom also needs to take care of her health."
Li Jianping and Zhao Qian said: "You are welcome to come here again next time."
Zhao Qian said respectfully: "Thank you for your hospitality. I will definitely come again as long as I have the opportunity." Before leaving, Zhao Qian and Liu Chunzhi said: "Auntie, we are going back now, please take care!"
Liu Chunzhi hummed and said nothing else.
Zhao Qian and Li Wei sat in the back seat of the car. Li Jianping sent them out of the gate and didn't come back until the car was far away.
"Mom, do you still have any prejudice against this Zhao Qian?"
Liu Chunzhi sighed and said: "Wei Wei is already thirty years old. I look forward to her getting married early every day, but when someone really comes to take her away, I feel reluctant to let her go. This person named Zhao always feels that he is not a down-to-earth person." He is not going through life. I always feel that this person is unreliable.”
It is normal for a mother to have such worries. Jian Ping smiled and said, "What did Jian Bo tell you? Why are you worried?"
Liu Chunzhi said: "It depends on what tricks this Zhao Qian can play. I hope your sister can be wiser and not be deceived by him."
Jian Ping smiled: "Wei Wei is so smart, how could she be deceived. Mom, don't worry."
How can Liu Chunzhi rest assured that a mother has to worry about her children for a lifetime.
In Jian Ping's opinion, after Jian Bo's discussion, his mother had somewhat changed her mind, and at least she didn't insist on driving Zhao Qian out. This was a good sign.
Li Wei felt sleepy soon after sitting in the car. Zhao Qian stretched out his arm to let Li Wei fall asleep comfortably in his arms. Qiu Kai drove the car and chatted with Zhao Qian: "Boss, the company is urging you to go back."
"I know, I'll go back the day after tomorrow. You can buy the ticket for me."
"I've bought it. But I heard that the people above are not very happy. Boss, you have to be mentally prepared."
"Qiu Kai!"
"Boss, tell me."
"I want to officially retire."
Qiu Kai suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car suddenly stopped. He quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I lost control of my feet. But boss, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm telling you this seriously."
Qiu Kai was even more puzzled. Zhao Qian had just disappeared for a while and was not coming back. No matter what losses were caused to the company, they would be slowly compensated. Anyway, they could still make money. At worst, they would have to work harder and take on a few more dramas. Why would they suddenly want to retire
Li Wei was in a daze. She vaguely heard a few words of the conversation between Zhao Qian and Qiu Kai, but she was too sleepy, so she did not negotiate with Zhao Qian on the spot.
