The next day, You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er made an appointment to arrive at Hong Ye Film together with their managers.
They didn’t expect Luan Fei Yun, the general manager of Hong Ye Film, would personally come to receive them.
Luan Fei Yun's friendly and close attitude made both people who were used to conceited bosses a little uncomfortable.
Luan Fei Yun said, "Since you guys didn't bring a lawyer today, if you don't feel safe with the contract, how about I call Hong Ye Film's lawyer to help you interpret the contract?"
"We’ll appreciate that very much," Qiu Xue Er thanked him.
"If it wouldn’t trouble you, President Luan." You Si Zheng added.
"No no no, you can't call me President Luan, just call me Mr. Luan or Big Brother Luan is fine." Luan Fei Yun smiled and waved his hand.
When the lawyer arrived, he clarified all the questions You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er had. After discussing with their managers, the two felt that there was no problem and signed their names on the contract.
As You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er left, Luan Fei Yun escorted them out to show how much importance he attached to them.
Inside the elevator, You Si Zheng finally asked the question that he’s been burying in his heart, "Mr. Luan, may I ask what is the relationship between you and Qing Xiao?" Both of them were surnamed Luan, maybe they were relatives.
"Why? Did Qing Xiao not tell you?" Luan Fei Yun asked. However, he quickly shook his head and answered, "I mean it's hard to explain, it's hard to explain."
This only made You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er become even more curious.
The two stared at Luan Fei Yun curiously with wide eyes, causing Luan Fei Yun to laugh lightly, "Qing Xiao is my cousin."
You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er nodded: sure enough, just like they thought Qing Xiao really has a strong background. It turns out she was the cousin of Luan Fei Yun, the general manager of Hong Ye Film and could even introduce its resources to them.
With the questions in their hearts answered, the smiles on You Si Zheng’s and Qiu Xue Er’s faces became brighter.
"Big Brother Luan, then we’ll be leaving first." When they reached outside the gate, the two said goodbye to Luan Fei Yun.
“Take care, come hang out whenever you have time." Luan Fei Yun treated them like a big brother next door.
On the other hand, Yan Zhou Ming also became the male lead of 《The Legend of Ming Dynasty》 after meeting Xia Zhong He.
The few people met at Xia Zhong He's house. Since Xia Yun You hadn’t returned from his training at Hong Ye Film and Television, Xia Zhong He and his wife Ai Wa were the only ones at home.
Luan Qing Xiao brought Nie Zhen'er and Yan Zhou Ming with her and rang the doorbell.
"Qing Xiao, Zhen'er, Zhou Ming, quickly come in." When Xia Zhong He opened the door, he warmly welcomed the three.
Behind Xia Zhong He stood his wife, Ai Wa. It was obvious Xia Yun You had perfectly inherited her beauty.
After Yan Zhou Ming entered, he went to the study with Xia Zhong He to discuss business matters, leaving Luan Qing Xiao, Nie Zhen'er and Ai Wa in the living room.
"Auntie Ai Wa, long time no see." Luan Qing Xiao gave Ai Wa a hug.
"This is Nie Zhen'er, you can call her Zhen'er." Luan Qing Xiao introduced Nie Zhen'er to Ai Wa as she held her hand.
"What a beautiful girl, Qing Xiao, is Zhen’er your girlfriend?" Ai Wa glanced at their held hands.
Luan Qing Xiao smiled, "It's still a secret for now, Auntie Ai Wa, you’ll know in the future."
Ai Wa nodded exaggeratedly, "Oh, I see, a secret. I'll know when it's no longer a secret."
After Yan Zhou Ming and Xia Zhong He finished talking, Ai Wa stood up and said, "Why don’t you all stay for lunch? Since Yun You won't be back at noon, we’re quite lonely."
Then, she went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
"Auntie Ai Wa, let me help you." Nie Zhen'er said.
"No need, no need, it’ll be quick." Ai Wa stretched out her hand to stop Nie Zhen'er.
Nie Zhen'er persuaded her, "Qing Xiao likes Western food and I don't know how to cook it, let me take this opportunity to learn from Auntie Ai Wa."
Yan Zhou Ming who overheard this sentence: "... …"
Why do you have to learn when Qing Xiao likes western food? What exactly is the relationship between you and Qing Xiao? ? ?
After lunch, the three of them didn't stay much longer and left Xia Zhong He's house together.
Yan Zhou Ming came here in Luan Qing Xiao's car. On the way back, Luan Qing Xiao said to Nie Zhen'er, "We’re going to drop Zhou Ming off first and then go home, alright?"
Because Nie Zhen'er was sitting in the passenger seat, Yan Zhou Ming couldn't see her expression, but he could hear the peppiness from her voice.
"Today I learned some new recipes with Aunt Ai Wa and now I can cook Western food for you when we get home. After sending Big Brother Yan home, let's make a trip to the supermarket before heading home. I want to buy some ingredients for tomorrow."
"Ok."
The two words "heading home" circled in Yan Zhou Ming's mind. Listening to what they meant, did the two already move in together? Should he ask about it?
By the time he got off the car for home, Yan Zhou Ming still couldn't make himself ask.
After entering his house, Yan Zhou Ming's WeChat chimed. When he opened it, he found You Si Zheng had created another small group with only You Si Zheng Qiu Xue Er and him.
You Si Zheng: Big Brother Yan, Xue Er and I have both signed the contract. How’s it going on your side?
Yan Zhou Ming: Everything’s settled.
Qiu Xue Er: Big Brother Yan, Si Zheng and I know Qing Xiao’s identity!
Yan Zhou Ming: What is it?
Qiu Xue Er: Qing Xiao is the cousin of Luan Fei Yun, the general manager of Hong Ye Film! Because Si Zheng and I were introduced by Qing Xiao, his attitude towards us was extremely friendly.
When Yan Zhou Ming saw this text from Qiu Xue Er, he was stunned; Luan Qing Xiao was Luan Fei Yun's cousin? Luan Fei Yun's father, Luan Ze, is one of the shareholders of Hong Ye Group. The father and son pair, one in the business world and the other in the entertainment industry, were equally high-profile.
Luan Ze seems to only have one younger brother, Luan Ze, who was... … the chairman of Hong Ye Group!
Yan Zhou Ming's hands were full of sweat.
If Luan Qing Xiao is Luan Fei Yun’s cousin, doesn’t that mean Luan Qing Xiao is the daughter of Luan Ze, Hong Ye Group’s chairman? !
That has to be right! Luan Ze’s wife is Ling Ya, the ageless goddess of the entertainment circle, who often cooperated with Xia Zhong He when she was younger. Not only are the two friends, he was also her mentor. So that’s why Xia Zhong He would ask about Luan Qing Xiao’s mother as soon as they met on [Returning to A Country Life].
In the past two years, Luan Ze retired from the management of Hong Ye Group due to physical reasons. He heard it was his only daughter who took over the company… …
Yan Zhou Ming sat on the sofa in a daze. He only came back to his senses when his phone vibrated.
Turning on his phone, he saw it was Luan Qing Xiao from the five person group chat, inviting them to her home to taste Nie Zhen'er's cooking tomorrow… …Wait! Nie Zhen'er? ? ? He almost forgot about Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er!
He can now be sure the two people definitely live together, but he just doesn't know if that’s the extent of their relationship.
Whether there is or not, he’s not sure. He can only observe them tomorrow at Luan Qing Xiao's house.
Luan Qing Xiao drove the car to the nearby supermarket. Before getting off the car, she helped Nie Zhen'er put on a mask.
Since Nie Zhen'er is now a double film queen, her reputation has significantly increased, with Weibo fans already exceeding 10 million and about to exceed 20 million as well as endorsements visible everywhere. If she went out without a mask, she’ll definitely be swarmed by fans.
When they entered the supermarket, the two went to the second floor to pick up some snacks. As they pushed the shopping cart downstairs, someone suddenly called Nie Zhen'er from behind them.
