My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1307 Upgrade Three

Chen Anxi had a headscarf wrapped around her head, probably to prevent herself from catching a cold. Zhang You wasn't sure what its purpose was, but Jiang Yi hadn't worn one after giving birth to their two sons.

"no problem"

Chen Anxi smiled and replied, then added, "By the way, many of my students want your autograph; could you sign some for me?"

"little things"

Zhang You took the paper and pen that Yuan Hong had brought him and signed more than a dozen sheets.

He hadn't studied any artistic signature techniques, so he just wrote his name casually. As for whether Chen Anxi's students would have any doubts, that was none of Zhang You's business.

Yuan Hong's parents watched this scene with smiles.

The two were no strangers to Zhang You, having met him more than once or twice, and had heard some of his current development. Apart from feeling a little unreal, they didn't have any particular feelings about him.

However, Chen Anxi's parents were different.

The two were considered to be from a fairly well-off family in the ordinary world, but they did appear somewhat reserved in front of Zhang You, because this was probably the richest person they had ever seen in person, with a net worth of several billion, so they seemed particularly uneasy.

Aside from Zhang Youyi calling them "Uncle and Auntie" and the two quickly responding, neither dared to speak again.

After Zhang You finished signing, Chen Anxi said with a smile, "Heavenly King, I heard you've invested in several movies. I even saw on short videos the other day that 'Crazy Stone,' which you invested in, is going to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Why don't you invite my Yuan Hong to act in it?!"

"..."

Yuan Hong was stunned.

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Let alone just a TV actor, even a movie actor... a project with an investment of hundreds of millions or even millions of dollars naturally needs to be very careful in selecting actors.

Yuan Hong thought his acting skills were not bad, but this kind of thing needs to be considered by others. If a suitable role comes along, he will definitely be cast. Since no one has asked for it, it is not appropriate.

Now that Chen Anxi had said it to Zhang You's face, it was putting Zhang You in a difficult position, which was the least interesting thing to do. So, after a slight hesitation, Yuan Hong looked at Zhang You and smiled, "Don't take it seriously..."

"What do you mean, 'don't take it seriously!'"

Zhang You laughed and said, "Even if you, Professor Chen, ask, besides seeing my future daughter-in-law, I also wanted to talk to you about our collaboration tonight. Let's go outside and discuss it."

After Zhang You and Yuan Hong left the ward.

Chen Anxi's mother took out Zhang Yousai's red envelope from under the baby stroller's pillow. She took it out, looked at it, and counted it. When Chen Anxi's father also came over, the two old men looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. Then they handed the check to Chen Anxi, who had gotten up from the hospital bed.

Chen Anxi took it and looked at it.

After confirming the numbers, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but then he remembered something and it was replaced by anger.

Yuan Jianguo observed Zuo Hong and her husband's behavior. He was somewhat displeased, but said nothing. Before they even left, he took out the red envelopes. The key was to give them directly to Chen Anxi or her son and see what they meant first.

Don't understand any rules.

However, when he looked at the little one in the stroller, his mood instantly became exceptionally pleasant. After seeing others hold their grandchildren for so many years, it was finally their turn to hold one.

Location of the ventilation opening outside the ward.

Yuan Hong took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled out two, and offered one to Zhang You, but Zhang You refused. Yuan Hong tentatively asked, "Really quit??" "I haven't smoked since the fight with Jiang Yiren two years ago."

Zhang You replied with a smile, "Congratulations on finally becoming a father!"

"Hi"

Yuan Hong smiled and replied, "This is the only thing that's made me happy recently. As for the rest... don't laugh, it's been a complete mess."

"What's so bad about that? I have a child, a girlfriend, and as for my career! I took on several dramas last year, and once they all air, as long as the quality is good, my earnings will definitely rise again. As for money! I heard that after you won the Best Actor award, your per-episode fee for a TV series exceeded one million."

Zhang You said with a smile.

Although Zhang You knew that Yuan Hong's salary seemed high, he would only get a third of it at most, but Yuan Hong had taken on several projects, so it added up to quite a lot.

Earning tens of millions a year is considered high in the entertainment industry. Of course, it can't be compared with top artists, but this income is at least in the upper-middle range.

"This is just the surface."

Yuan Hong sighed softly and said, "How I'm doing is unknown to others, but I know best myself. I won't hide it from you. Chen Anxi asked me to buy her father a house worth over 30 million yuan. She was just mentioning it earlier."

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

Then, he reached out and patted Yuan Hong on the shoulder a few times as he took a deep drag on his cigarette, as a gesture of comfort.

Zhang You was powerless to help with this matter, and it was also difficult for him to say anything, since it was ultimately someone else's family affair. But to be fair, it was indeed excessive.

It's hard to say whether Yuan Hong can earn 60 million a year, but his father-in-law wants him to use more than half of his income to buy a house. The family that can make such a request must be difficult to get along with.

Anyone with common sense would never ask that question, and after buying a 30 million house, you can't possibly drive a dozen cars, can you?
It costs at least a million. A house this big can't possibly be without a nanny, right? We'll have to hire one.

Then there are the family expenses. Where does this money come from? It must come from Yuan Hong, the celebrity son-in-law. Yuan Hong is currently at the peak of his career and can still handle it. But the acting industry is not stable. He may be very popular this year, but his popularity may decline next year.

Yuan Hong hasn't done any side businesses or investments; his income comes entirely from acting. If his career declines, he'll have to live off his savings. How long can he live like that?
Zhang You couldn't understand what Yuan Hong's father-in-law was thinking. He was just an ordinary citizen, yet he wanted to live in a house worth 30 million... If he really wanted to live there, he would have had the opportunity. Yuan Hong and Zhang Da Meinu's old house was a luxury mansion, so they could just move there. Instead, he made Yuan Hong buy it.

To put it bluntly.

Such an expensive house, he can't even afford the property management fees, it will still belong to Yuan Hong in the end. Thinking of this, Zhang You felt a little sorry for Yuan Hong.

What a terrible coincidence to run into such a family! This is just too unlucky. Frowning slightly, Zhang You asked, "Is this why you're unsure about marriage?!"

"a portion"

Yuan Hong finished his cigarette, took out another, lit it, and took a deep drag. He spoke again, "The main thing is that I suddenly realized it's not worth it. What is marriage?! It's about being able to come home to comfort and understanding when one partner is tired, not to listen to nagging and being on guard. If that's the kind of marriage, Zhang You, is it even worth it?!"

"..."

Zhang You couldn't answer that question.

At the same time, he realized that he seemed to have missed the point of his visit tonight.
