Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 283 Sisi: So you have this function
"Yuanyuan, Tiantian, Jiaojiao, Shasha, I'm a little tired, you should go back."

The hospital, especially Min's ward, looked like a vegetable market today.

The ward was spacious and naturally offered VIP treatment, but looking at all the people in the room, Zhang Min felt that this wasn't a place for recuperation.

As soon as one person leaves, another arrives, and there are still some people on the road who haven't made it yet.

She told her assistant and everyone else that afternoon that she wouldn't see anyone. I just have a fever, is it really that big of a deal? One group after another, as if it were a farewell.

Others could be stopped, but the crew members couldn't.

Halfway through filming in the afternoon, Liu Jing left the set early and went directly to the hospital.

He had just arrived at the ward and inquired about the patient's condition when Zhang Jiao came to take care of the boss.

Before Zhang Min could finish asking about the stunt double's condition, Gao Yuanyuan arrived right after.

Next up were Chen Zihan and Jing Tian, ​​who came over after the film crew finished work.

“Brother Jing, while you were away, I took some photos…” Jing Tian pulled Liu Jing outside, recounting her performance that afternoon.

Liu Jing hesitated for a moment; it seemed he wouldn't be able to ask that night. These people had left, but two people who were truly taking care of Zhang Min remained.

"Liu Jing, don't go yet, I have something to tell you." Zhang Min was lost in thought when she saw Liu Jing about to leave, and then she spoke up.

Liu Jing? Gao Yuanyuan's eyes flickered slightly; she addressed him so formally.

"You two can go out too," Zhang Min said to her assistant.

“Brother…” Jing Tian also noticed something was wrong.

"Go back first and let Yuanyuan help you rehearse your lines. I'll find you when I get back." Liu Jing patted Jing Tian on the shoulder.

"Min-jie has something important to do, don't overthink it. Let's go back first, Zhi-ruo will help you. Go back and change into your costume first, it'll be easier to get into character that way." Gao Yuanyuan pulled Jing Tian away.

Jing Tian looked blank. "I haven't thought about anything. My co-star tomorrow isn't Brother Jing. I have no idea what to do."

Besides, this is a hospital ward. Even if they're in a hurry, they wouldn't do anything inappropriate.

Wait a minute! Gao Yuanyuan's words sound familiar. It seems like that's what Brother Jing said when he tricked me into wearing Zhou Zhiruo and the Purple-Robed Dragon King's costumes.

boom……

After everyone left, only two people remained in the room.

If you don't speak, I won't speak either.

Liu Jing sat on the edge of the bed, peeling an apple with a small knife. In no time, several small fish were carved into the apple. They were so lifelike that they looked as if they were swimming in water.

“This fish has no tail.” In the end, Zhang Min couldn’t hold out any longer and broke the deadlock first.

"This fish is the bait." Liu Jing handed the apple to Zhang Min, and sure enough, they caught a fish.

"Sigh!" Zhang Min took a bite of the apple and then ate the bait first.

Normally, she would have made a few jokes, but she wasn't in the mood today.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Liu Jing asked abruptly.

"I wasn't sure a few days ago, but I'm sure now." Zhang Min's myriad emotions vanished; the little guy really couldn't be kept in the dark.

"Really?" Liu Jing's hand suddenly trembled, and the second apple he was carving had a fish cut off in half.

"Don't worry. I didn't have any tests done at the hospital. I have my own access to testing services, which guarantees your privacy and safety and won't cause you any trouble." Zhang Min's expression was somber.

"Slap!" Liu Jing slapped Zhang Min's thigh and scolded, "What are you thinking? I'm just a little overwhelmed. Suddenly going from a child to a father is a bit of a shock."

"I want this child." Zhang Min bit her lip. That bastard really went all out. Didn't he know I was pregnant?

"Of course I want it! It's not easy to get pregnant, of course I want it, of course I want it..." Liu Jing couldn't hide his excitement as he paced back and forth in the room.

Liu Jing's mind was in turmoil; all his previous speculations had now become reality.

Then came immense joy.

To my utter surprise, the first person to win the bid was Sister Min.

Isn't this a matter of probability, or just a matter of order? If that's the case, then Gao Yuanyuan might be next.

At the end of last year, I went to see Gao Yuanyuan's mother, and the old lady was urging me to have a child.

What about Sisi? Her body has been upgraded once, and the system says the chances of her winning are higher, but no one knows when she will win.

Should I invest in the education industry? If I get started, there will be no shortage of children in the future.

We must work hard so that one of our children will have a fortune of billions, and no one can compete with anyone else for it.

In an instant, the child was still a cell, and he was already thinking about old age.

"Oh dear, don't move around so much, it makes me dizzy." Zhang Min smiled, completely at ease.

She had already made up her mind that she would give birth to the child even if Liu Jing disagreed.

She would go along with anything the other person wanted, but this was one thing that had to be done her way.

Seeing that the other party did not object and was so emotionally agitated that she lost her composure, her eyes reddened, and she could not control her emotions.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" Liu Jing asked, looking anxious and suspicious. He sat on the edge of the bed and took Zhang Min's pulse.

"Quack doctor, you take pulses every day, but have you figured out anything?" Zhang Min scoffed.

"Uh..." Liu Jing chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head, clearly embarrassed.

“The child can’t be born in China; it will cause a bad reaction. Everyone knows I don’t have a man, and if I suddenly get pregnant and give birth, you’ll definitely be a suspect, the prime suspect. This will affect your career and your relationship with Qianqian. After a while, we’ll let the outside world know that I have a serious illness and need to go to the United States for treatment. What do you think?” Zhang Min placed her hand on Liu Jing’s head and gently rubbed it.

"Go to the United States?" Liu Jing frowned.

“It’s an unfamiliar environment there, and not many people know me. I don’t want to go to Hong Kong, and you shouldn’t try to persuade me. Besides, Huayang is going to expand its international business, and I can stay in the US for a while. As for Chunqiu Films, Wenqiong is there to support us, and there are you and Yuanyuan too, so it doesn’t matter whether I’m there or not,” Zhang Min explained.

Huayang has changed its name and is now called Huayang International.

Li Mengdie's eldest sister, Li Fuzhen, was very interested in Huayang and captured the market in Japan and South Korea.

This woman is also a legendary figure in South Korea. She joined Samsung in 1995, initially working at the Samsung Welfare Foundation, and later gradually became involved in core businesses.

In 1999, she insisted on marrying her bodyguard, which infuriated Old Li.

In 2001, she was appointed president of Hotel Shilla, becoming the first female CEO under Samsung.

For many years, we have been working diligently at Shilla Hotel and have achieved outstanding results.

With her pioneering efforts in the Japanese and Korean markets, Huayang's reputation had already spread even before it opened for business.

"Do whatever you want with the children. Don't worry about Sister Li and Qianqian, I'll talk to them." Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then realized that was all he could do.

He didn't care that the matter was exposed, but Zhang Min would definitely have to face strange looks and be condemned by everyone.

Secret marriages and children are not uncommon; they happen frequently in other circles as well as the entertainment industry, though they are not ordinary people.

There's even a secret industry chain for dealing with this kind of thing.

"Ah! I have to tell Sister Li too?" Zhang Min's heart tightened, and she looked uneasy.

“You went to the US to give birth, not to get medical treatment. Do you think you can keep this from her?” Liu Jing sighed.

Zhang Min understood this principle, of course, and suddenly shrank into the quilt, "Waaah, I'm so ashamed."

"Snapped……"

Liu Jing slapped the ostrich that was oblivious to its own rear end, saying, "Sister Li is very easy to talk to."

Zhang Min rolled her eyes inwardly. That was with you. Do you think she'd be so easy to talk to other people?

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway.

Since she wanted a child, she had made all the preparations, and social death was nothing to her.

"Let me make one thing clear beforehand, even Sister Li can't do it. The child has to take my surname, Zhang, not An, and not her surname, Liu..."

"Slap!" Liu Jing slapped her again, extremely displeased. "What do you mean by 'having her surname Liu'? Don't I have the surname Liu?"

“You? I guess your surname is Liu,” Zhang Min muttered. “…”

Liu Jing silently complained that before having children, the two were close business partners.

Zhang Min's mindset changed immediately after she became pregnant, and her business partner became her mother-in-law.

“The child’s surname is Zhang, and I will raise him myself. I won’t compete with Qianqian for anything. Since the child has my surname, I will naturally be responsible for him. Sister Li doesn’t need to manage the family property. It’s my own business, and passing it down to my children won’t be a problem,” Zhang Min explained.

She has the confidence to do so because she is a major shareholder of Huayang, a shareholder of Chunqiu, and more importantly, a shareholder of Qinshi Capital.

Besides her company shares, she has been buying houses continuously over the past ten years. People used to frequently ask her for loans, and she didn't know how to refuse. In addition, she learned a painful lesson from being scammed in business.

Later, she simply ran out of money so that she could refuse anyone who asked her to do business with her or borrow money.

So whenever she had cash, she would buy a house. She doesn't even remember how many houses she's bought over the years.

There were also some houses that were demolished, and the compensation for one house was several houses, but she couldn't be bothered to remember them.

Several years ago, she set up a dedicated property management company to manage her own real estate and the commercial properties under her name.

Last November, the Forbes China Rich List was released, and Sister Li's name was not on it.

Huang Guangyu, the richest man in China, has assets of 180.9 billion yuan, while Lan Shili, ranked 100th, has assets of 24 billion yuan.

Zhang Min ranks 181st with assets of 15.5 billion yuan, and this includes a considerable amount of real estate and hidden assets that have not been included in the statistics.

If Huayang goes public, given its current growth momentum, it's entirely possible that it will directly enter the top 100, or even rank higher.

With food at home, one has no worries. With money in hand, one can walk with one's head held high.

"Leave the father and keep the son," Liu Jing said with a wry smile.

"I didn't say you weren't the child's father, don't overthink it." Zhang Min laughed.

"Didn't you say you'd raise them yourself?" Liu Jing grumbled, "You're just using me as a tool."

"Don't worry, I have a lot of experience raising children," Zhang Min said confidently.

"Where did you get this experience from?" Liu Jing didn't believe it at all. He had never seen you take care of a child before.

"I took care of you," Zhang Min said with a grin.

"..." Liu Jing was hit hard again. These words were all flawed, but upon closer inspection, they weren't entirely wrong either.

Do you prefer a boy or a girl?

"I don't discriminate against girls; it's the same whether you have a boy or a girl."

"The boy is too naughty. He'll definitely grow up to be like his father and not a good person."

"..." Liu Jing was hit again. The implication was that he wasn't a good person.

A dozen minutes later, the doctor knocked on the door, interrupting the two's daydream.

Two assistants followed him in. After the doctor left, Liu Jing instructed, "Take good care of Sister Min. I have to go back quickly."

"You're going back?" Zhang Min asked in surprise. This is my first time being pregnant, can't you stay with me a little longer? That jerk is really going too far.

"I need to revise the script and give Xiao Zhao more screen time," Liu Jing said before quickly leaving.

Zhang Min was both amused and exasperated, silently marveling at the wonder of fate, "The child I had fourteen years ago is now going to have a child. It really is..."

Fourteen years ago, when the first installment was filmed, Fatty Wang cut a lot of Zhao Min's scenes and added a lot of scenes for Xiao Zhao in order to promote his girlfriend.

Now that the second season is being filmed, Liu Jing doesn't want her to film it anymore. He wants to cut Zhao Min's scenes and add more scenes for Xiao Zhao.

If he hadn't killed off Zhao Min, he would have been heavily criticized. He simply decided not to let Zhao Min appear in the story, as if she had died on Ice and Fire Island.

Zhang Min has been through a lot these past few days. The two of them just discussed that Zhang Min will go back to Beijing for recuperation tomorrow.

Zhang Min was sighing, and Liu Jing was also sighing.

He didn't go back immediately. Passing by the smoking area, he lit a cigarette and stared blankly out the window.

In 1993, he filmed "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", which was his first real drama and the beginning of his career.

At that time, he played the young Zhang Wuji, and was still a little actor who needed Zhang Min to hold him.

In 2002, he filmed "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" again, which was his first drama after his comeback and a symbol of further progress in his career.

He played the young Zhang Wuji, and was not only an actor but also the action choreographer for that show.

In 2007, Liu Jing once again filmed "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and this time he was preparing for both the TV series and the movie version at the same time.

He played the adult Zhang Wuji, the absolute protagonist, and was also the director and screenwriter of the film version.

"The Sacred Flame of Yin and Yang" is the first film he directed, the place where his dream began, and also the place where he sets sail again.

Now it carries an additional commemorative significance, as his identity has transformed once again. It's not just a transformation from actor to director, but also from child to father.

Preparations for the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" have not yet begun, but some positions have already been filled. The producer is Big Beard, the executive producer is Zhang Min, and Liu Jing will serve as the supervisor.

However, now that Zhang Min is pregnant, some of her work will definitely need to be adjusted.

Liu Jing plans to appoint Gao Yuanyuan as producer; it's time for his semi-public mistress to change her status.

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, what a coincidence, witnessing so many of my firsts," Liu Jing murmured.

He stood there until nightfall before he composed himself and dialed Sisi's number.

The phone rang more than a dozen times before it was answered, and a deafening sound came through the phone to his ears.

"Holy crap, what are you doing?" Liu Jing exclaimed in surprise.

"What? What did you say? I can't hear you," Sisi shouted on the other end of the line.

Liu Jing was speechless. "You'd be lucky to hear that clearly," he thought. He, however, had heard it clearly—it was a singing competition. He also clearly heard who was singing. Shu Chang was singing a duet with Tang Yan, and Tang Yan's singing was...well, let's just say it wasn't great.

Shu Chang has released albums before, and her singing ability is quite good.

Tangyan's quality is very average, below average.

"What did you just say? I came out of the house." Sisi's voice sounded a little naive; she had been drinking.

"I said I love you, but unfortunately you didn't hear me," Liu Jing chuckled.

"Say it again, I want to hear it." Sisi was extremely annoyed. To this guy, these words were absolutely priceless, and even a thousand pieces of gold might not be enough to buy them.

"Are you having a party?" Liu Jing asked, puzzled.

“Yeah! You’re not home, and I happen to be in Yandu these past few days. I’m inviting a few friends over, including Changchang, Tangtang, Dayangzi, Liangying, and Sister Beina. We’ll have hot pot, red wine, and then karaoke,” Qianqian replied.

"You guys really had a blast while I was gone," Liu Jing said sourly.

"Of course, if you were here, we would definitely eat out, and we wouldn't give you that chance." Having learned from two previous experiences, Sisi wouldn't let the same thing happen a third time.

"Sisi, ignore the blockhead, next song is yours."

Liu Jing grunted. It was Shu Chang's voice. Sure enough, if you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.

"Is something wrong? Tell me quickly, I still want to sing," Sisi urged.

"Sister Min is pregnant." Liu Jing took a deep breath, then felt very uneasy, as if he were waiting for a sentence.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

For him, every second felt like an eternity, and time itself seemed to stretch on endlessly.

A melodramatic scene was already forming in my mind when I heard Sisi ask, "Are you sure it's your child?"

It only took seven or eight seconds. Liu Jing sighed, "Confirmed."

Sisi seemed thoughtful, murmuring, "So you have this function. I thought..."

Sisi shut up, and Liu Jing's heart itched. "What did you think?"

"Cough cough, I thought you were infertile." Sisi coughed twice.
