On Thursday, Li Wei got off work and hurried home. Liu Chunzhi had already prepared a table of delicacies, while Zhao Qian and Li Jianbo were having a long chat in the study.
Li Wei did not disturb the two of them. She turned around and went to the kitchen. Liu Chunzhi was busy cooking. Sister Jin was learning cooking skills on the side and did not forget to flatter her.
"Mom, didn't you invite Shiyun to come over for dinner?"
"Why didn't you invite me? But your second brother said she was busy and couldn't come. Weiwei, does she look down on our family?"
Li Wei hurriedly said: "Mom, please stop thinking about it."
In fact, that's pretty much it. She went back to her room and changed her clothes, then helped set the dishes and chopsticks.
Liu Chunzhi finally showed off her special skills and cooked a table of delicious dishes. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, the color, flavor and taste are no less than those in a big restaurant.
Li Jianbo showed off to Zhao Qian: "Isn't our mother's cooking skills good?"
"It's natural. The food cooked by my mother-in-law is delicious."
"You can eat more if you like it. Jianbo often comes back to have a few meals with us, which is the greatest affirmation for me."
Liu Chunzhi served Zhao Qian and Jian Bo some food while Li Wei watched. It seemed that it was difficult for her mother to change her habit, so she let her go.
After dinner, Zhao Qian and Li Jianbo continued to chat, while Li Wei silently went to the study. She closed the door and called Tang Shiyun.
"Shiyun, why don't you come together today? I'll send you today."
"Aren't I busy? I have a full schedule of work and study, and I don't have any free time at all. There have been big personnel changes in the company recently, and I have to get familiar with a lot of things. Dad has given me another task, and I have to do it. . Now I’m quite envious of you. You have an easy job and you’re about to be a mother again. It’s great.”
Li Wei said: "Shiyun, Zhao Qian is back. How about the four of us getting together sometime? If we're not at my house, we can go outside."
"Okay, you can arrange it. But I don't know if I'll be free."
"Shiyun, is there something wrong between you and my second brother?"
There was silence for a long time, and finally Shiyun said: "Li Wei, it's actually nothing."
"Shiyun, let's all get together and come up with a countermeasure. We can't stand still. You and my second brother finally got together, do you want to give up so easily?"
Shiyun fell into a brief silence again, and soon Shiyun answered Li Wei's invitation: "Okay, I'll try my best!"
Li Wei's persuasion for a long time was not in vain.
Outside, Jian Bo said he was leaving. Li Wei hurriedly hung up the phone and went out to see him off. She followed Jian Bo to the elevator and told Jian Bo: "Second brother, I have contacted Shiyun. She promised us to get together." "Ju, you can explain the problem clearly when the time comes, okay?"
Seeing his sister working so hard, Jian Bo suddenly scratched Li Wei's nose and said with a smile, "Are you still worrying about me after this?"
Li Wei said: "This is what it should be. Second brother, promise me that you and Shiyun will be good."
Li Jianbo nodded. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he turned around and said to Li Wei, "Go back to the room. It's cold outside."
Li Wei waved to him, Li Jianbo nodded and smiled, then turned around and strode outside.
In the evening, Li Wei and Zhao Qian talked about the two of them. Zhao Qian asked in surprise: "Did you really get them together?"
"Actually, I didn't play any role. They got to this point on their own. Mom has always been worried about my second brother's lifelong events. Now that a good girl has finally appeared, I'm very happy."
"That's not bad. When they plan to get married, they will probably receive a big red envelope."
Li Wei sighed: "Let's wait until we get to that point. The two of us have encountered a big test now. I'm almost worried to death."
"How can you, a pregnant woman, worry about it? Let the person concerned worry about it!"
The couple chattered for a long time, until Li Wei was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and then her voice gradually became quieter.
Zhao Qian is busy handling work in Beijing, and the most important thing now is to promote the new play. Qin Gang is still on the run and he doesn't know when he will be caught. I just hope that the movie will be a big hit, and then I can be able to speak in front of those investors.
Zou Keyan signed a document. He raised his head and said to Zhao Qian: "If this drama has a good response, we must be prepared to make a sequel."
"Boss, I feel very uneasy and have no confidence at all."
"There's not much problem with the book, and the production team is also top-notch. The leading actors are all chosen by you, and they are all people you have worked with before, so you don't have to worry about anything. International awards may be a bit difficult, but it's enough to earn a nomination. I I can guarantee that the box office won’t be any worse. You have to have confidence that you have overcome the most difficult places, so what are you afraid of?”
Zhao Qian spent a lot of money on this movie, and now he dares not expect much profit. He only hopes to make up for the cost and make up for the shortfall.
"I heard that Qin Gang has gone into hiding in the United States. Extradition will be difficult and will take some time. No one can guarantee how much he will be able to recover. You have to be mentally prepared."
Zhao Qian nodded and agreed: "The most important thing is to let him get the punishment he deserves."
Zhao Qian is of the right age at the moment, and there are people who want to take the literary route, the tough guy route, and even the idol route. Now is a good time, and he can be considered a pillar of the company. When the contract expires, if he is let go like this Zou Keyan It feels like a huge loss.
"Zhao Qian, you are not entirely responsible for Qin Gang's incident, but it seems unreasonable to ask you to bear the loss alone. When the accounts are divided, I will give you 25% of the income in addition to the part you deserve. Make up for it. deficit."
Facing the boss's generosity, Zhao Qian said quickly: "Then I'll thank the boss first."
"I heard that you have collected some good things. How about inviting me to open my eyes some other time?"
The boss was interested in his collection, Zhao Qian knew it and said quickly: "No problem."
Zou Keyan smiled: "Zhao Qian, you are really generous. What are your plans after the contract expires?"
Zhao Qian also said without hesitation: "I am still engaged in the film and television industry, but I am slowly transitioning to behind-the-scenes production."
This was a potential threat. Zou Keyan had to pay attention to it. He thought about it and said to Zhao Qian: "How can it be so easy to start a new business? Opening a company will face many unexpected problems. I say that instead of doing that Don’t worry, why not just follow me and I’ll give you more shares?”
But Zhao Qian was determined. He said: "I can't make movies for a lifetime. Besides, I'm a little tired and can't find a breakthrough, so I want to transform. If I stay on the set for a long time, I rarely take care of my family. Going down is not an option.”
"I don't see it, but you are still a family man. Zhao Qian, your potential is unlimited, but it needs to be well explored and packaged. Listen to my advice and follow me for a few more years. I will definitely push you to the international front line. "
International front line? Zhao Qian didn't dare to think about it. It was already very difficult to secure the international and domestic markets, not to mention that the current generation is changing so fast. Many new people are pouring into the entertainment industry every year. There is never a shortage of actors here. He is very aware of his status and does not dare to expect too much.
