Huayu: From Prisoner to Movie King

Chapter 615 Little Surprise

[I had some tail end of my career to explain, but after writing more than a thousand words I felt the rhythm was not right, so I deleted it...]

Liu family villa.

Liu Yifei was observing her facial expressions in the mirror to see if they matched the character setting in The Way of Heaven, when she heard a cheerful shout from the stairs: "Sister X, you should go back early today. As usual, just come over at 10 am tomorrow!"

Then there were the sounds of footsteps, and soon Liu Yifei's door was pushed open. Liu Xiaoli said excitedly, "Xixi, Director Xu just called and said he would stay here tonight!"

"Oh~"

Liu Yifei, who had expected this, responded perfunctorily without even bothering to raise her head.

"You girl!"

Liu Xiaoli said angrily: "Director Xu has been busy outside for more than ten days. He just came back to Beijing to see us. Why are you still ignoring him?!"

Liu Yifei finally turned around to look at her mother, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't compete with you."

"You, you girl!"

Although this was the naked reality, Aunt Liu still felt a little embarrassed when her daughter teased her in person. She pointed at Liu Yifei and gasped for a long time, and finally stomped her feet and turned out of the second bedroom.

Liu Yifei walked over calmly and closed the door. Compared to her increasingly enthusiastic mother, she still adopted the "two no" policy: no initiative, no refusal.

This is probably the difference between women and girls. Without comparing products from different stores, how could one know the value of Xu Kun's advantage?

However, Liu Xiaoli went downstairs and quickly regained her good mood. She sat in front of the landline and started calling nearby restaurants, ordering a large table of food with seven plates and eight bowls.

Just as I was announcing the names of the dishes, I saw Shu Chang walk in from outside. He greeted me with "Auntie" and then walked directly to the air outlet of the central air conditioner. He stretched his arms and sighed, "It's really hot today. The taxi I took had the air conditioner on all the way but it didn't feel cool."

Liu Xiaoli lowered her voice and told the other party to deliver the things on time at 6 o'clock in the evening, then stood up and asked: "Why don't you let your agent send you here - you didn't make an appointment to go shopping again today? Yifei has something to do in the evening, so it might be inconvenient for her."

Although Liu Yifei said that she wanted to give way to the virtuous, this kind of thing still depends on the man's opinion. And what man doesn't like young girls?

"No, I just want to see Yifei for a while."

Shu Chang directly skipped the previous question, raised his hand and pointed to the second floor and asked: "Is Yifei studying the script again now?"

After getting a positive answer from Aunt Liu, Shu Chang walked to the door of the second bedroom on the second floor with ease. Just as she was about to knock on the door, Liu Yifei opened it first.

"Hey, Shu Chang? Why is it you?"

Seeing that the person who came was not her mother but her best friend, Liu Yifei felt a little puzzled. After all, Shu Chang did not contact her in advance and suddenly ran across half the city to come.

Shu Chang walked past her, went to the bed, turned over and lay down, then looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm coming to your place to hide away for some peace and quiet."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately understood what was going on. She shook her head and muttered, "Why can't I get away from him anywhere?"

"What did you say?"

Shu Chang didn't hear clearly, so he tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"nothing."

Liu Yifei pulled out a chair and sat down next to the desk, wondering, "Didn't you just brush it off earlier? Why is your agent making a fuss again?"

"I can't help it. Your Director Xu has a big news every day." Shu Chang changed his side-lying position, propped his chin with his hand and said helplessly: "Didn't you read the news? It said that Tencent is interested in acquiring Fanfou and JD.com, and the total valuation may reach 10 billion."

At this point, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "Oh my God, your Director Xu is not making money, he is printing money! In the past..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly swallowed them back.

Liu Yifei was about to refute 'your Director Xu's' statement, but when she saw that she was suddenly stuck, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened before?"

"nothing."

Shu Chang almost called Chen Jinfei out just now, wanting to discuss who was richer between the two, but this question was definitely not allowed, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Aunt Liu said you had something to do tonight and didn't let us go shopping. What was it?"

This time it was Liu Yifei's turn to have a hard time answering.

However, her hesitation had already given Shu Chang the answer.

Shu Chang first turned over and sat up in surprise, then thought about their current relationship and felt that there was nothing strange about it, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Why don't you just keep me company while I treat Director Xu to a meal? This way, my agent won't be imagining things all day long."

If someone else said this, Liu Yifei would most likely refuse directly, but since it was Shu Chang who was asking for help, she hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Then I'll ask him tonight."

After a pause, he added, "My mother might have to go with us."

"That's better!"

Shu Chang said happily: "The more people there are, the less awkward it will be."

This can only be said to be the case of those who are ignorant are not embarrassed.

Although Liu Yifei agreed to help, she didn't really want to talk about this topic, so she asked Shu Chang about his recent plans.

"What else can I do? I just have to keep taking on roles as the company requires. As the saying goes, sow widely and reap little. If I can have a hit, I won't lose out. You're still the best. Every role you play is a heavyweight, and you can still have time to rest."

Liu Yifei did not respond to this. Shu Chang envied her for being able to be picky, but didn't she also envy Shu Chang for being able to make his own decisions?

The two best friends chatted until after five o'clock. Seeing Aunt Liu coming over frequently to give hints, Shu Chang quickly said goodbye and left.

As a result, he received another call from his agent on the way. In order to save his ears from the pain, Shu Chang rushed to tell him that he had asked Liu Yifei to be the middleman and would invite Xu Kun to dinner in two days.

After hearing this, the agent turned around and complained to the second aunt, saying that it was such a good opportunity, but she had to drag Liu Yifei and her daughter along. Why didn't she learn from Liu Yifei and change the heroine of "The Way of Heaven" or something?

After hearing this, the second aunt immediately asked to bring Song Zuer to attend, saying that she could also persuade Shu Chang at that time.

Let’s go back and talk about the Liu family.

Aunt Liu ran to the door several times and looked out, and finally saw Xu Kun.

Seeing that he looked exhausted and had just returned from another place, Aunt Liu was even happier. She thought to herself that Jiang Yiyan was not as attractive as her own daughter, otherwise Xu Kun would not have left his home and come directly to the outer house.

She gently let Xu Kun into the house and asked, "The food I ordered will be delivered soon. Do you want to eat first or take a shower first?"

"No, I'm busy these days. I had a whole day of meetings with the bosses of Fanfou and JD.com today..." Xu Kun took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, and then reminded: "Don't wash your clothes. We have an event in the suburbs tomorrow, so you can wear this outfit for now."

Aunt Liu, who has always been a little bit of a clean freak, didn't even show any disdain and immediately said attentively, "Then go up and talk to Yifei first. I'll call you when the food is ready."

"also."

Xu Kun went upstairs without hesitation and knocked twice on the door of the second bedroom. When he heard a "come in" from inside, he turned around and went to the living room on the second floor. He sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Just after turning the channel to Beijing and Taiwan, the door of the second bedroom opened. Liu Yifei walked out with a frown on her face. Seeing Xu Kun watching TV, she hesitated for a moment and sat down on the sofa.

Liu Yifei frowned even more tightly because she smelled cigarette smoke on Xu Kun, but when she thought that Xu Kun had just returned to Beijing and came to her house, her disgust inexplicably lessened a little.

After hesitating for a moment, she took the initiative to say, "Shu Chang came this afternoon. She asked me to treat you to a meal. She said she wanted to thank you for helping her get a new endorsement."

Xu Kun was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Didn't she call to thank me? Besides, her participation in the 618 group buying event is also considered as supporting me. There is no need for her to thank me so much." Liu Yifei did not want to reveal the reason behind this. After all, the man in front of her was a well-known lustful person in the entertainment industry. If he worked together with Tianxing Media, Shu Chang might not be able to resist.

After thinking about it, Liu Yifei reluctantly found a reason: "Maybe I can earn more money from this contract."

Xu Kun nodded slightly, finished watching the prime-time trailer for Beijing and Taiwan, and leaned back on the sofa, tilted his head back and closed his eyes, saying, "It depends on the situation. I've been very busy recently."

As he said this, he rubbed his eyes hard.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately remembered the news about the 10 billion valuation, and then unconsciously thought of Chen Jinfei.

She didn't care much about these things at the beginning, so she didn't know how much assets Chen Jinfei had, but it should be only a few billion, right?

Doesn't this mean that Xu Kun is now on the same level as Chen Jinfei?

Liu Yifei subconsciously stared at Xu Kun's face. She felt that she couldn't see through the man in front of her. She didn't understand how he could catch up with his godfather's life savings in such a short time.

"what happened?"

Xu Kun felt her gaze, opened his eyes and asked curiously.

"nothing."

Liu Yifei avoided his gaze guiltily and subconsciously covered up: "I see you look very tired, do you want me to give you a massage?"

She regretted the moment she said it. This was something she had said to Chen Jinfei more than once before. Because she had been secretly comparing the two of them before, she accidentally said this.

"Okay."

Xu Kun smiled and said, "It was your mother who did the massage before, this time I will try your skills too."

These words...

This is what Chen Jinfei said back then.

Liu Yifei was very reluctant, but thinking that Xu Kun did not go home this time and came directly here, she felt that he was really thoughtful, so she gritted her teeth and went around behind the sofa and began to help Xu Kun massage the acupoints on his head.

Ten minutes later.

Liu Xiaoli came up and called the two of them to eat, and was stunned when she saw this scene.

Hasn't my daughter always been very cold? Why did she suddenly change her mind and become smart today?

But no matter how to say it, this is a good thing. After all, Aunt Liu knows very well that if she really wants to tie Xu Kun down, she has to rely on her beautiful and promising daughter.

So she quietly retreated to the first floor, but after waiting for half an hour, the two of them did not come down to eat. Instead, a familiar sound was heard from the second bedroom.

Liu Xiaoli sighed, took out a few vegetable bags and covered the dishes on the table, thinking that this meal could only be a midnight snack.

…………

at the same time.

Zhao Liying was calling her friends in Wang Ou's apartment, preparing to go to the townhouse tomorrow night to welcome the premiere of "Dwelling Narrowness" - in fact, there were not many people, just Jin Chen and Li Yitong who had just joined, and Liu Tao, who was introduced by herself.

Then there is Hao Lei, the second female lead, and Jiang Yiyan, the master of the South Heaven Gate.

Wang Ou, who was cleaning up the dishes, heard her call Liu Tao and started to notify the sisters she had met in the crew and school before - they definitely couldn't make an appointment to go to the townhouse, just inform them to remember to watch the drama in the evening.

So Wang Ou reminded him, "Isn't Huang Yi also considered a member of our party now?"

"she?"

Zhao Liying hesitated and said, "But I've never dealt with her before."

"Then let's start from this time. In the exchange of favors, you have to give in order to receive."

Seeing that Zhao Liying was willing to follow suit and decisively started to contact Huang Yi, Wang Ou went to the kitchen with the leftovers.

When she entered the kitchen, her smile turned into melancholy.

Seeing that the sisters were about to soar to the sky, but he himself was still stuck in the state of "roast chicken sisters", unable to move forward. No matter how happy Wang Ou was for Zhao Liying and how much he understood that Zhao Liying's rise would only bring benefits to him, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

Especially since all the young girls are throwing themselves at Brother Kun, if he doesn't make more money now, he might not have enough resources to share in the future.

"Sister Ou."

At this time, Zhao Liying poked her head in from outside and asked excitedly, "Do you think we should prepare a table of dishes or have a snack party?"

Wang Ou quickly put on a smile and thought seriously, "Let's make it a snack party. I think Sister Hao Lei is quite lively and will probably like this more."

Among all the guests, besides Jiang Yiyan, the one she cared about the most was Hao Lei, and Jiang Yiyan said that it was up to them to make the arrangements, so Wang Ou immediately thought of using Hao Lei's preferences as the criterion.

"Too."

Zhao Liying immediately decided: "Then let's go shopping tomorrow afternoon and try to fill up the trunk and back seat!"

As he said this, he raised his little fist with a confident look.

But after a moment, she couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity that Brother Kun went to the crew to make a guest appearance. Without him at home, I always feel like something is missing."

"It would be strange if a big shot like Brother Kun wasn't busy."

Wang Ou sincerely sighed, "I saw on the Internet that he might be ranked in the top 200 of the rich list by the end of the year. That's billions of dollars in assets!"

"EMMM~"

Zhao Liying poked her cheek with her finger and shook her head for a while, saying, "The number is too big for me to feel anything, but Brother Kun has always been so amazing, so it's not surprising that he can become a millionaire."

Wang Ou nodded repeatedly in agreement.

That night, the two sisters stayed in bed and talked until about three in the morning before falling asleep. They got up around noon, tidied themselves up, ate some leftovers from the previous night, and then set off in Hao Lei's discarded Golf.

This big shopping spree cost more than eight thousand yuan - mainly because the alcohol and drinks were expensive.

In the past, Zhao Liying would be heartbroken for several days, but this time it was the eve of her becoming famous, how could she not bleed a little?
It was around four in the afternoon when they arrived at the villa.

Zhao Liying even went out of her way to deliver some food to the bodyguards who stayed behind in the underground garage - although she always subconsciously avoided surveillance, in fact, the two sides had already become "familiar faces" for a long time.

As soon as she returned to the first floor lobby, the bodyguard who stayed behind started making phone calls.

A few minutes later.

Xu Kun, looking even more exhausted than yesterday, appeared outside the door of the townhouse.

We still need some small surprises in life, especially these small surprises that kill two birds with one stone and are cost-effective.
