1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 59 Resignation
Jiangcheng, Linjiang Residential Area.

Liu Xiaoli made a very important decision in her life today.

This major decision was that she resigned from her job at the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater.

Actually, she had already worked for a week before resigning.

She took her daughter to work five days out of the week, and left her mother-in-law to take care of her on the other day.

Bringing my daughter to work is allowed by my workplace, but it still presents many inconveniences.

The only day I didn't bring it, well, that was it, even worse.

Liu Xiaoli was preoccupied with her daughter all day and was completely distracted.

In addition, their family had no financial pressure, and Chen Fusheng had already expressed his support for her resignation, so Liu Xiaoli finally made up her mind and submitted her resignation to her company today.

"Comrade Liu Xiaoli, your husband has written to you again. The letter is in the usual place. Find it yourself."

"Okay, thank you, sir." Liu Xiaoli found the letter her husband had sent in the mailbox at the entrance of the community, thanked the security guard again, and then entered the community.

But as soon as I got downstairs, I heard my daughter crying.

She quickened her pace, hurriedly took out her keys to open the door, and saw her daughter being held and comforted by her mother-in-law.

They're just hungry; coaxing them won't work.

Hearing her daughter crying, Liu Xiaoli didn't even bother to close the door or change her shoes. She quickly walked over and said, "Mom, Qianqian must be hungry. Give her to me."

"Okay, Xiaoli, if you don't come back soon, I'm going to make her some formula."

Yang Hongmei handed her granddaughter to her mother, and saw that she immediately calmed down after nursing. She touched her forehead and realized that she was sweating.

She felt awkward watching her daughter-in-law breastfeed, so she went over and closed the door. As she turned back, she asked:
"Xiaoli, did you really quit that job?"

"Yes, Mom."

"What did your supervisor say?"

"They didn't say much, just offered some token advice, and seeing that I was quite determined, they finally agreed."

Liu Xiaoli answered while breastfeeding her child.

“It’s good that you quit. Qianqian is too young, and it’s inconvenient for you to take her to work. When she’s a little older, Lao Chen and I will be retiring soon, and we’ll help you take care of her then. Xiaoli, if you want to work, let Fusheng help you find a way.”

Yang Hongmei didn't really support her daughter-in-law's resignation, because in her mind, a good job was too important, how could she just give it up? It's just that her son was too successful, earning enough to support the whole family on his own, so when Liu Xiaoli proposed to resign, she only advised her to think it over and didn't stop her.

The die is cast, and for the sake of family harmony, she can only say nice things.

Liu Xiaoli nodded to her mother-in-law.

"Then you can continue breastfeeding. I'm going to go make dinner."

"it is good."

After watching her mother-in-law walk into the kitchen, Liu Xiaoli looked away and noticed the letter she had just retrieved.

She first changed her daughter's pacifier, then opened the letter and began to read it.

"Brother Sheng actually went to Shanghai?!"

After reading the letter, Liu Xiaoli gently patted her daughter's bottom and said:

“Baby, your dad is really something else. He hasn’t even been in Beijing for more than a few days, and he’s already off to Shanghai.”

“Eee...ya ya…”

"Hehe, you agree, don't you?"

After eating, the little one, probably exhausted from crying at home, soon began to look drowsy. Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli got up, picked up her daughter, and rocked her to sleep.

"Like a cute little pig."

After placing her sleeping daughter in her crib, Liu Xiaoli gently tapped her little nose with her finger, then kissed both of her cheeks before reluctantly getting up to leave.

"Mom, Sisi is asleep, let me help you."

"No need, the kitchen is too small. You go ahead and do your work."

Seeing that her mother-in-law really didn't want her help, Liu Xiaoli didn't insist, but before she left, she mentioned that Chen Fusheng's work had been transferred to Shanghai.

"Hey, this rascal, he's quite the runner. He's only been in Beijing for a few days, and he's already off to Shanghai." Yang Hongmei complained about her son, but she was actually quite proud of him.

Liu Xiaoli chatted with her mother-in-law about her son in the kitchen for a while. Seeing that dinner was not ready yet, she left the kitchen and went to her desk to take out paper and pen to write a letter to tell her husband about her resignation that day.

As for where to send this letter, it should be to the Shanghai Film Studio, of course!
……

Shanghai Film Studio.

The crew of "Good Things Take Time".

Today we're filming the final scene.

The female lead, Gong Xue, arrived at the set early, intending to make some preparations, but unexpectedly spent all her time listening to gossip.

"Hey, have you heard? The director, screenwriter, and lead actor of 'Cow,' which recently grossed $100 million overseas, came to our Shanghai Film Studio yesterday. Our Director Xu personally received them."

"Isn't the screenwriter of 'Cow' the same person as the male lead?"

"Yes, I remember it was the same person, I think his name was Fusheng, and he was also the author of the novel 'Bullfight'."

"But what are they doing at our Shanghai Film Studio?"

“I know a little about that.” The director of the film crew joined in their conversation: “Your troupe leader Zhang also went to the reception yesterday. Since Zhang and I are neighbors, she talked to my husband about it last night. She said that at the beginning of the month, the Film Bureau established a film revenue-generating working group. The director and screenwriter of the film you are discussing, ‘Cow,’ are both members of the group. They came to Shanghai this time with a film project. Moreover, the Film Bureau gave our factory a task a couple of days ago, saying that we should fully cooperate with them. So even Director Xu personally came out to receive them yesterday.”

"Isn't this taking it way too seriously?" one comrade remarked.

"That's true to some extent, but I guess the factory leaders must have their own considerations."

After listening for a long time, Gong Xue finally couldn't help but ask, "Director Song, what kind of movie are they bringing?"

"I don't know about that, but since their films are made specifically to generate foreign exchange for the country, they should be similar in style to 'Cow' and probably intended to be sent abroad to compete."

"I don't know if we'll have a chance to act in it. If we could make an appearance at an international film festival, oh my, they'd talk about it for three days and three nights when we got back."

"Hahaha, Comrade Gao Cui, didn't you hear Director Song say that our Commander Zhang has gone to do reception work? Maybe he can actually get some roles for us."

"Then I'll have to ask around carefully. Even if I can't play the lead role, I'll still be happy to play a supporting role."

"That makes sense. Our film is wrapping up today, so everyone has some free time... By the way, Comrade Gong Xue, you could give it a try. You have such a great image; you might just get the lead role."

"Sister Zhang, you think too highly of me." Gong Xue said modestly, but she was actually quite tempted.

Because she is currently still working at the General Political Department Drama Troupe, and the filming of "Good Things Take Time" is about to wrap up, if the Shanghai Film Studio still doesn't want her, then she will have no choice but to return to her original unit.

At this critical juncture, she will seize any opportunity that arises.

Because she really didn't want to go back.

I hope to find a role that suits me!

Gong Xue silently made a wish in her heart, and then the final scene of "Good Things Take Time" immediately began...
