Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

Wang Xiaozhou didn't know how to answer, and Meng Ziyi didn't need him to answer at all; she finished speaking and hung up the phone.

The next morning, Meng Ziyi bought the earliest flight back to Songbei, determined to accompany Wang Xiaozhou to the premiere of his movie.

After receiving the news at home, Wang Xiaozhou had no choice but to secretly call Mao Xiaotong in the morning to tell her that the plan to watch the premiere together via video call was canceled because he had work to do that afternoon.

Fortunately, Mao Xiaotong hasn't developed into a particularly clingy person yet. After easily gaining her consent, Wang Xiaozhou went to the supermarket to ask his father for the car keys, went downstairs, and headed to the city to pick her up.

Meng Ziyi landed very early, leaving the airport around 11 a.m. The movie wasn't scheduled to go online until 7:30 p.m., so she had nothing to do at home. She asked Wang Xiaozhou to take her out for a meal in the city, then went to the new house to check on the renovation progress and talked to the contractor about many things before heading to the county town.

Worried that Wang Xiaozhou might get sleepy while driving, Meng Ziyi brought up many topics with him, such as whether Wang Jianguo and his wife were busy running their supermarket, and how Huang Mao and his friends were doing in their studies and where they could get into university.

Finally, just before they were about to exit the highway, Meng Ziyi asked the question she really wanted to ask: "How are you doing with your studies lately? The college entrance exam is coming up soon, have you decided where you want to go to university?"

Wang Xiaozhou turned the steering wheel, turned his head and smiled at Meng Ziyi, saying, "You don't actually have many years in college. You're in the performing arts department. The art academy is very lenient towards students who are already somewhat famous. As long as there are announcements, students are allowed to take leave to work."

So it doesn't matter where I go to university, as long as I have a job, you can come with me, and we'll have the chance to be together every day.

Meng Ziyi blushed a little when her thoughts were exposed, but what Wang Xiaozhou said really resonated with her.

After preparing for the art college entrance exam in Kyoto for so many days, her biggest worry was what would happen if Wang Xiaozhou didn't get into a university in Kyoto and the two of them were separated for four months.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaozhou seems to have a plan in mind. As long as he has a job, the two of them can stay together, so where they go to university is not really that important.

With one worry gone, Meng Ziyi felt much better. After returning to Wang Xiaozhou's house, she started preparing dinner.

She was really busy, and had a very lavish dinner. She had heard on the way that Wang Xiaozhou's parents had been very busy working at the supermarket lately, busy making money, and hadn't had time to take good care of themselves. So she made a lot of delicious food to treat her uncle and aunt.

"Pack it up. My parents don't come home until 11 p.m. these days. Even if you ask them to come home for dinner, they won't be focused on it and won't eat well."

When Wang Xiaozhou was helping Meng Ziyi, he whispered a suggestion from the side.

Meng Ziyi nodded and said, "I never planned for my uncle and aunt to come back for dinner. Didn't you see that all the dishes I made here are easy to pack? We won't eat at home; we'll go to the supermarket together to keep them company."

Okay, okay, it was I who was being unreasonable...

Wang Xiaozhou pursed his lips, said no more, and silently cooked with Meng Ziyi. Then he quietly watched her pack the food and they took it to the supermarket together.

When Ma Xiaoping, who was standing at the cashier, saw the two children arrive, she raised her chin to the sky and started showing off to an employee who was about the same age as her.

"My son has known how to make money since he was little. He's the one who brought all this money home. His teachers and classmates at school all praise him for his talent and stuff. We don't really understand those things, but he's definitely been bringing a lot of money home lately."

"Oh, the one next to me is my son's friend. They do look like a good match, but they haven't said anything about whether they're together or not. Anyway, they're still young, so let them date for now. There's no rush."

"Right? This girl is pretty. I thought she was pretty the first time I saw her. That night when I got home, I told my son that I would try to marry her and make her my daughter-in-law."

"She's not a celebrity, just an ordinary person, but she is indeed good-looking."

......

Ma Xiaoping has completely forgotten about her initial comment that Meng Ziyi looked like a vixen. Now she boasts to everyone that she has good taste and found such a beautiful daughter-in-law for herself.

The cashier next to her nodded in agreement, then turned her head and whispered to the other salespersons when Ma Xiaoping couldn't see her.

"Did you see the girlfriend the boss's son found? She's got a naturally foxy face. It's not a good thing for a woman to be that beautiful. I bet it won't be long before the boss's son can't get out of bed..."

Wang Xiaozhou has exceptional hearing, so of course he can hear the aunties chirping. However, anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that these aunties don't actually have any malicious intent; they just have nothing better to do than talk badly about someone to ensure they're on the same side as the other person. This is also a way for them to build relationships.

"Mom, we have eight or nine employees in our store now, right? Does a small supermarket really need to be this large?"

Looking at the bustling supermarket, Wang Xiaozhou wondered if his mother had become addicted to being a boss.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoping glared impatiently at Wang Xiaozhou: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Our supermarket is so big, ten people is the minimum, and that's not enough. We're always hiring."

"Okay, okay, I don't know how. You guys hurry up and get it done. We need to go home for dinner too."

Wang Xiaozhou kept quiet and watched Meng Ziyi and her mother get close for a while. Seeing that it was almost 7:30, he urged Meng Ziyi to say goodbye to her mother quickly, as the movie premiere was about to begin.

Because they spent a lot of time at the supermarket, the two of them walked home in a hurry. When they got home, they didn't even have time to eat dinner, and immediately turned on the computer to look for movies on Tencent Video.

As always, the penguin is unreliable. It's not even 7:30 yet, and the cover of "The Return of the Soul" has already been changed to the main feature.

Click to enter the video homepage, skip directly to the intro, and then a barrage of comments begins.

"Yay! It's really Wang Shuai's new drama! I've been looking forward to it for so long. His last short film called 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' was really well made. I hope the quality won't drop this time."

"I'm almost embarrassed to say anything to you upstairs, but are you here for the quality?"

"Brother Wang is as handsome as ever, just ruggedly handsome, so charismatic. When will the entertainment industry have more people like him? He doesn't talk much, has no scandals, and doesn't even have any news, but whenever he releases a work, he's in a class of his own."

......

After watching the bullet comments with Wang Xiaozhou for a while, Meng Ziyi quickly made a joke before the movie got into the plot.

"Xiao Zhou is really handsome, and he's very popular with audiences on screen."

Wang Xiaozhou said without looking to the side, "I'm only handsome for you."
