My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1043 The Child's Father (Part 5)

On the streets at night, all kinds of signs are illuminated.

And it happened on that very night.

Zhang Yi, who had already taken a shower and was lying in bed, received an unexpected phone call. "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had already finished its run in theaters, and her scenes in "The Truman Show" had also been filmed long ago.

The main reason was that the female lead's role in this drama was too small, and the director deliberately arranged her scenes together. After these two dramas ended, Zhang Yi went into a period of rest.

However, she did receive quite a few phone calls during this period.

After all, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed over 2 billion yuan, and as the second female lead, she also gained a foothold in the film industry with this movie, which is equivalent to truly becoming famous, so it is reasonable for her to receive film offers.

In the past, Zhang Yi would definitely have entered her busiest phase, but since becoming pregnant, her ambition has decreased significantly in a very short time. She even considered staying home to take care of the baby after it was born, but she quickly abandoned this idea because her circumstances didn't allow it.

Even though she has a lot of money, enough for her to live on as long as she doesn't spend it extravagantly, Zhang Yi still wants to earn more money to provide her child with a better quality of life.

During this period, the stocks she and Zhang You bought later actually doubled in value, which was an unexpected surprise for her. Twenty million became forty million. She took on two films, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and "The Truman Show," for a fee of three million.

This was Zhang You's overpayment; at market price, one million would have been enough for two films.

She might earn a lot of money filming a TV series, but when a TV actor transitions to a movie actor, before demonstrating their commercial value in film, even the most popular TV actor won't receive a high salary. Only those heavily promoted by investors or artists from their own companies will receive high prices; otherwise, even top-tier actors won't be paid much.

There are instances where young, handsome actors who are good at filming TV dramas go on to film movies and receive tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in salary. While such cases exist, they do not necessarily reflect the actors' intrinsic value.

Rather, it's because capital and companies need him to have that kind of value. For example, if a film project is invested in by a company, then it's normal to pay a high price. The key is that this is the price on the surface. It's hard to say how much the young star has to return privately.

"Aunt Zhang"

Midsummer called out.

"kindness"

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Why did you suddenly decide to call me? You didn't mean to ask if your master won an award, did you? If that's the question, it's too early to ask! Besides, you should be calling your master's wife."

"I……"

Speechless for a moment in midsummer.

"All right"

Having already teased this young woman, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Speak! What do you want from me?"

"I have a day off tomorrow, I want to go out to sea."

After hesitating for a while, Zhongxia finally explained her purpose.

"Didn't your master send you to Tianyu Entertainment's training center to train with the other trainees? Why did you suddenly decide to go to sea?!"

If it were any other girl, Zhang Yi might have thought she just wanted to go out to sea, but she knew that Zhongxia definitely didn't mean that.

During summer vacation, when Zhang You took her two apprentices and Xiao Zishan to her yacht, the two girls were learning to swim, but this girl stayed on the side until Zhang You asked her to learn too. Only then did she nervously get on the yacht, still wearing a swimsuit and holding a life ring. In Zhang You's words, her eldest apprentice knew her own value very well.

I want to see the sea.

Zhongxia replied honestly.

"..."

Zhang Yi was taken aback. What kind of reason was that?! However, Zhang Yi didn't press for details. She simply nodded in agreement and said, "No problem, be at the school gate at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll pick you up."

If anyone else had made such a request to her, Zhang Yi would definitely have refused. But with this girl, given her relationship with Zhang You, this girl was practically her disciple, so it was neither reasonable nor emotionally right to refuse.

If I really refuse, what will this girl think of me when she tells her master after Zhang You comes back from abroad?
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Zhongxia quickly thanked him.

"No need, it's getting late, you should get some rest!"

Zhang Yi replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi reached out and turned off the room light before going to sleep. She didn't tell Jiang Yiren or Zhang You about it; after all, it was a small matter, and she also wanted to see what her eldest apprentice, Zhang You, was up to at sea!

Surely she won't pick up her master's bad fishing habit! If she does, she'll be in big trouble.

Zhang You, a grown man, was fishing and no one said anything to him. But when a young girl, not even twenty years old, stood by the lake with a fishing rod in the middle of the summer, she looked incredibly ugly.

With these questions in mind, Zhang Yi quickly drifted off to sleep. She woke up a little before seven the next morning, washed up, and made herself a simple breakfast.

After eating, she drove to the entrance of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where Zhongxia was accompanied by a girl named Bai Xiaoxiao.

Teacher Zhang

Bai Xiaoxiao quickly greeted them.

"Just call me Aunt Zhang, like Zhongxia does. You can save the title of 'teacher' for Zhongxia!"

Without asking whether the two girls had eaten breakfast, Zhang Yi handed them a few pan-fried buns, a box of fried dumplings, and two cups of pumpkin porridge that he had bought from a breakfast shop he had passed by.

Driving the two to the dock, the yacht soon set sail. Zhang Yi stood on the deck, her long black hair fluttering in the sea breeze. Today, she wore loose casual pants and a brown coat, mainly because she was worried about getting cold at sea.

Things are different now than before. In the past, you could just take some cold medicine and get better. Now, you have to tough it out on your own. However, her best friend said that the hospital seems to have special cold medicine for pregnant women. She doesn't have a cold yet, so she doesn't need it. If she does catch a cold, she'll have to go to the hospital to ask about it.

The girl named Bai Xiaoxiao was standing next to her, probably out of curiosity. She asked, "Aunt Zhang, how much is your yacht?"

"This is secondhand, it's not worth much."

Zhang Yi replied with a smile, "But I advise you... even if you have money in the future, don't buy this thing. Yachts aren't expensive, but the other costs are too high, and the key is that they're rarely used."

"How could I afford it?"

Bai Xiaoxiao replied.

"Don't say that. Things are inanimate, like this yacht. It's only worth this much. But people are different. A person's future has infinite possibilities. When I was in school, I would hesitate for a long time before buying a pair of brand-name shoes that cost three or four hundred yuan, but now... So don't underestimate yourself, especially since Zhang You has you following Zhong Xia to company training classes and running around. This means..."

Zhang Yi tapped the yacht beneath his feet and said, "It was only a matter of time."

While the two were talking.

Sitting not far away in midsummer, watching the calm sea surface where seagulls fly by, I suddenly made a sound with my nose. The sound was very faint at first, but then it gradually grew louder.

Zhang Yi stopped chatting with Bai Xiaoxiao and turned to look at her with a surprised expression.
