"Brother Sheng, how long will you be gone to Hong Kong this time?"

Chen Fusheng, who was packing his luggage, stopped what he was doing when he heard his wife's words, went over and hugged her.

"Don't worry, it won't be long, I'll be back in a week at most."

Actually, if it was just for promoting the movie, Chen Fusheng didn't need to go in person at all.

But he still has to discuss the filming issue with the Hong Kong government; there's no way around it, he doesn't trust anyone else with it.

In addition, we also want to invite Jackie Chan to star in his next film after that…

As for whether or not to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards, we'll talk about that after we get there.

"What is Hong Kong like? Is it very developed?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.

"You'll see when I have the chance."

"Okay, then take care of yourself and come back soon. My due date is in two weeks."

"Yes, honey, don't worry. If you say you'll be back in a week, you definitely will be back within a week. There won't be any delays."

As he spoke, Chen Fusheng squatted down and put his ear to his wife's big belly to listen to the condition of their second child.

As a result, her daughter saw this scene, dropped her toys, and came over, excitedly saying, "Me! Me! Me!"

"Oh, baby, you want to hear that too? But you can't bite Mommy, you know?"

"Mmm, I won't bite."

Seeing how obedient and sensible her daughter was, Chen Fusheng picked her up and pressed her against her mother's belly.

Liu Xiaoli reached out and tucked a few strands of hair behind her daughter's ear, saying gently, "Qianqian, do you remember that you also came out of your mother's belly when you were little?"

"Here?" Chen Qian pointed to her mother's belly.

"Yes, do you remember?"

The little guy thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Black."

Good guy!
Liu Xiaoli had only asked the question casually, not expecting an answer from her daughter. But the girl actually answered, and with such a genuine answer, which greatly surprised her.

"Honey, did you hear that?"

Chen Fusheng nodded.

Although he was somewhat surprised that his daughter still remembered things from inside her womb, he wasn't as surprised as his wife.

He had seen similar stories on short video platforms in his previous life, called fetal memory. Although it is not scientifically considered to be true, its existence is justified. Otherwise, he would have suspected that his daughter might be a time traveler like him.

"It's alright, it might just be some kind of physical memory, or maybe it's just a kid talking nonsense," Chen Fusheng reassured his wife, worried that she might be frightened.

However, his worries were completely unnecessary. Although Liu Xiaoli still found it somewhat unbelievable, she was more surprised and delighted by her adorable daughter.

Chen Fusheng looked at his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, then at his wife's belly, and suddenly a question popped into his mind. After a moment's thought, he couldn't help but ask it.

"Sisi, do you hope Mommy is having a little brother or a little sister?"

His question also made Liu Xiaoli look at her daughter with a hint of expectation.

Chen Qian looked at her father, then at her mother's belly, and said without hesitation, "Little brother!"

The reason the little guy says "brother" instead of "sister" is because he's heard adults say it so often.

However, her words sounded like golden advice to Chen Fusheng and Liu Xiaoli, making them both delighted at the same time.

"Looks like the second brother is a boy," Chen Fusheng said with a smile.

"Now, are you satisfied?"

"Aren't you satisfied now?"

They both couldn't help but chuckle.

Liu Xiaoli then asked, "Give your son a name."

"What was our name again when we said it was our son?"

"That was when you were thinking of someone when you gave birth to Xixi."

Chen Fusheng understood his wife's hint, so he thought about it and said, "How about calling me Chen Gong? It sounds like 'success' in Chinese."

"Why don't you call yourself Chen Zhe? Calm and collected." Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at her husband.

"Chen Zhe is also fine, or you could call him Chen Guo..."

The name Chen Guo caught Liu Xiaoli's eye. "Chen Guo is good. It would be perfect as a nickname, Guo Guo, and it has a good meaning too."

Seeing that his wife was satisfied, Chen Fusheng didn't dwell on it and said directly, "Then what do we say? From now on, the second child will be called Chen Guo?"

"It might not be his son."

"It's okay, our daughter can have this name too."

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Xiaoli realized that it was indeed true.

So he nodded: "Alright, then let's tentatively choose Chen Guo."

At this point, Liu Xiaoli lowered her head, touched her belly, and told the baby in her womb about the result.

“Little Guoguo, did you hear that? From now on, your name will be Chen Guo… Ouch, he kicked me, he heard it!” Liu Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise.

……

Oriental Film Export Company.

"Director Chen, everyone's here. When are we leaving?" Ling Zi knocked on Chen Fusheng's office door and asked from the doorway.

"Have the comrades from the Security Bureau arrived yet?" Chen Fusheng put down the phone and then looked up at the other party.

"Already here."

"Let's go then."

Chen Fusheng and Lingzi came downstairs together and found that everyone was already waiting downstairs.

Since one of the purposes of his trip to Hong Kong was to promote the film, he brought along the film's main cast and crew.

After all, he went to Hong Kong alone last time to promote the movie. If he goes alone again this time, wouldn't all his efforts over the past year have been in vain?
"Hello, Chief!"

"Alright, alright, Comrade Li Yuanchao, Comrade Wang Weiguo, it seems like it's been more than half a year since we last met. I didn't expect the organization to send you here again... We entrust the safety of our delegation to you."

These two were the bodyguards the organization had arranged for him when he went to Hong Kong last time. He never expected it would be them again this time.

So Chen Fusheng was quite surprised.

"Yes, sir, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

"Call me by my name or Director Chen, I'm not used to being called 'Chief'."

"It's Director Chen."

Chen Fusheng nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the time and, feeling it was about time, ordered, "Let's go."

As soon as he boarded the plane, Chen Fusheng noticed Ling Zi, who was sitting next to him, taking a magazine out of her bag. Feeling bored himself, he asked her:
"Do you have any extra? Could you give me a copy to pass the time?"

"I bought this issue of 'Fragrant Grass' magazine. Your own novel is in it. Do you want to read it?"

Despite saying that, Lingzi still handed the magazine in her hand to Chen Fusheng.

At the same time, he took out a new magazine from his backpack, and upon looking at the cover, it was "Fangcao" (芳草).

Yes, she bought... more than two.

"This issue of Fangcao magazine was only released today. I guessed that none of you had bought it, so I bought a few extra copies, but it's still not enough. So Gong Xue, you can pass it around and read it."

"Thank you, Sister Ling."

Gong Xue and the others did not buy it, mainly because they did not know that this issue of "Fangcao" magazine was on sale in Beijing today.

Even Chen Fusheng didn't know.

He's been too busy lately. Even when he has some spare time, he spends it all on his family and hasn't paid much attention to his novel at all.

So when Lingzi said it was this issue of "Fangcao" magazine, he also showed a curious look.

I took the magazine and glanced at it, and guess what?

The first thing he saw was a congratulatory message from the magazine "Fangcao"!

"Warmest congratulations to Comrade Fusheng on winning the top prize at the Berlin International Film Festival for his new film 'The Devotion of Suspect X,' setting a new record for overseas copyright!"

The latter followed the editor's message:

"As we all know, Comrade Fusheng is not only an excellent director, but also a very talented writer. His new work, 'The Adventures of Shuke and Beta 2,' is back to meet readers after a year. If you have children at home, you definitely shouldn't miss it..."

After reading it, Chen Fusheng couldn't help but chuckle.

"Great, you guys really managed to ride this wave of popularity!"
