"Guorui is here."

"elder brother."

"Uncle, uncle."

Everyone greeted each other, and He Jingyun smiled slightly and called: "Dad."

This time Li Fan was too embarrassed to follow him and said politely: "Hello, uncle."

Father He's eyes were slightly surprised. He stared at Li Kai for a few seconds and nodded.

He Jingyun introduced: "Dad, this is my friend, Li Huan."

As she spoke, she naturally took Li Fan's arm. Seeing her move, Father He's expression condensed, and he nodded speciously again, then turned to talk to others.

When Father He sat down, Li Fan took out a gift, which was a purple clay tea set.

Father He took it in his hand and looked at it, then at his daughter, then at Li Fan, nodded and said, "I'm interested."

Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was a little bit displeased. The worst result of rejection did not happen, but his attitude towards him was relatively cold. It would be okay if it was a gesture from his father-in-law, but he was afraid that he would not approve of him in his heart, but

I don't want to embarrass him in public.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you are a good athlete, let's go play ball." Zhu Mei poured a cup of tea for He's father. Li Fan wanted to take it and hand it to He's father personally, but He Yuanjie came over excitedly and came from nowhere.

Find a pair of badminton rackets.

After such an interruption, the tea was already in the hands of He's father. When he heard the address of "brother-in-law", He's father frowned slightly, and three wrinkles appeared on his forehead. He glanced at He Yuanjie, then glanced at Li Fan with the corner of his eye, and looked away.

After blowing on the tea, he drank two sips, stood up and said to his uncle: "I'm going to see Dad first."

Looking at He's father's back, which seemed a little displeased, Li Kai smiled bitterly, reached out and patted He Yuanjie on the shoulder: "Let's go."

There was a large open space in the yard, with two trees on the left and right, and a net hung in the middle. Li Fan and He Yuanjie were on one side, and badmintons were flying around on the net.

Li Kai waved his hands, but his mind flew away. From the attitude of the He family towards him, he had already noticed some clues. He and He Jingyun came to attend the old man's birthday banquet. He Jingyun should have only informed He Jingkun and others beforehand.

People, elders including He Jingyun’s eldest brother were unaware of it.

And He Jingkun and the others called him brother-in-law, presumably because of He Jingyun's instruction. He Jingyun would hold his arm from time to time in front of the elders, seemingly inadvertently, but actually on purpose. From this, it can be inferred that He Jingyun was not sure at all!

Of course, the question is not about other elders, but whether her parents approve of it.

"My father-in-law is lukewarm, so it seems I can only count on my mother-in-law. As the saying goes, the more my father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the angrier he becomes; the mother-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him."

Li Fan thought self-righteously, but he didn't know that He Jingyun's family was a typical loving father and strict mother...

At the same time, He Jingyun followed He Guanqun into the study.

They were facing each other at a tea table. He Guanqun brewed a pot of Kung Fu tea and poured it into three teacups one by one. He Jingyun took a cup and took a sip: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

He Guanqun laughed dryly: "I argued with my dad just now, did you hear it outside the door?"

He Jingyun said yes.

He Guanqun drank a cup of tea in one gulp, considered it briefly, and then said: "The thing is like this..."

Then, he explained the situation.

In April last year, He Guanqun met Su Ruowei when he was in charge of a small commercial for the company, and gradually developed into a boyfriend and girlfriend. They brought him home once on November last year. The elders were not very satisfied, especially his father who was determined to

be opposed to.

But the two did not break up. This time for his grandfather's birthday, He Guanqun brought He Ruowei again, hoping to show his attitude and make his family accept it.

But the birthday banquet was postponed from yesterday to today, and Su Ruowei had already made an appointment tonight. She came here specially to give grandpa a birthday gift in the afternoon. As a result, her father became even more unfavorable to Su Ruowei.

He Jingyun teased: "You mean I ruined your good deeds, so I shouldn't come back."

He Guanqun rolled his eyes: "I wish you could come back. If you are here, my dad won't speak so harshly."

After saying that, he sighed and said directly: "Can you help Ruowei?"

He Jingyun had guessed it early on, and after a moment of silence, she said: "My record company cooperates with many film and television companies, but I can't help with recommendations. My agent has emphasized to me that I would rather suffer a loss in terms of contract remuneration.

It is better to give up opportunities than to owe favors casually. Once a favor is owed, it is up to others to decide when and how much to repay."

After a pause, he added: "If you invest in a movie and one or two million can change a character, I can help you with this."

Investing one or two million to change a character is better to say buy a character. He Jingyun is obviously not prepared to recoup the cost, which is equivalent to giving it away for free.

From other people's mouth, He Guanqun would only take it as a bad joke. One or two million. In Nanshi, where the per capita annual income is over 10,000 yuan, it is an astronomical figure that is out of reach for more than 90% of ordinary households.

.

But he knew that He Jingyun would not make such a joke and indeed had the financial strength.

But he couldn't accept it. He was getting a huge sum of money for nothing that he might not be able to repay in his lifetime. As a man who was doing well and had a self-motivated spirit, he was not so shameless. He really wanted to do this.

, the relationship between him and his girlfriend also changed.

"Thank you for your kindness."

He Guanqun waved his hand: "Actually, I want Li Fan to help me. I heard Ruowei say that many actors became popular. In the beginning, they accumulated popularity by finding singers to co-produce music videos. If you are a woman, find a female for the music video."

My partner is not suitable, but Li Fan is."

He Jingyun suddenly realized that when a singer releases records, in addition to tapes, CDs and MVs are also very important.

Her latest album has sold nearly 1.5 million copies in one month, one-fifth of which is the music video. According to the default standard of 500 gold, the music video will eventually sell nearly one million copies.

Participating in the filming of the music video is equivalent to having at least one million viewers, and it will be several times more in reality.

The popularity gained is even higher than that of being the female lead in some small-investment movies.

Former famous movie stars, such as Liu Manyu, Qiao Yinglin, Xiang Xiang, etc., were even relatively popular when they started, and they still appeared in the music videos of singers.

Among today's popular movie stars, Lu You, Guo Lixia, Zhao Meitang, etc. have all participated in the shooting of no less than five music videos for first-tier and above singers.

Li Kai is not only a singer, but also a songwriter. He is also the major shareholder of Hua Can Group, which owns five record companies and is qualified to release videos and record music videos, including at least a dozen male singers.

The cousin's request was not difficult. Just when He Jingyun was about to agree, her eyes suddenly rolled around and she said with a smile: "I can help you with this, but in exchange, you also have to do a favor..."

Seeing the cunning look in He Jingyun's eyes, He Guanqun felt flustered for no reason and his eyelids twitched a few times.

.....

Before five o'clock, the third uncle and the third aunt came, and a quarter of an hour later, the younger uncle also came.

Li Fan greeted them and gave them gifts. The three of them fell into his favour, and their attitude toward Li Fan was very good.

At half past five, He Jingyun's mother arrived last.

There was a coat on her arm, a bag with a bell, her hair neatly tied up, a gray women's suit, brown trousers, and black high heels, exuding a sense of rigor from top to bottom.

From the appearance and temperament, you can tell that he is a leader, and most of them are state-owned enterprises or civil servants.

Li Kai felt a little nervous. Isn't this mother-in-law very strict?

However, unexpectedly, after He Jingyun introduced Li Kai, He's mother looked at him a few times and actually smiled. When Li Kai presented him with a gift, He's mother did not delay. It seemed that her smile was a little stronger.

Li Kai felt reassured, it seemed that his mother-in-law was quite pleased with him.

That's good, that's good.

At about six o'clock, a round table was laid out, and the table was filled with cold dishes and hot dishes.

They are all home-cooked dishes, but they are rich in color, diverse in variety, and fragrant, making people want to eat.

After the old man came out of the room, the whole family came to the table.

This is a family banquet, there are no rules, drinks are based on personal preference.

As soon as they arrived, everyone toasted the old man with a glass of birthday wine, and then they ate and drank as they pleased.

Li Fan drank the first glass of white wine and then changed drinks. Even though he had a good capacity for drinking, he couldn't drink too much when he came to the house for the first time.

When it comes to picking up vegetables, they are all within arm's reach on a small half of the table. You can eat them without making a sound while chewing them, which is a change from the usual indulgent delicacies.

When the elders talked and laughed, he looked like he was listening, and never said a word. When he talked about something wonderful, his expression changed when he talked about something funny, and when he talked about something funny, he put on a smile on his face, but it was a reserved smile.

To maintain a calm and measured image, he must also keep a low profile. This is something he has long thought about.

The dinner table was filled with warmth, and just when Li Fan thought he could finish the pretense, a sound suddenly sounded.

"Hey, brother-in-law, why are you drinking soda? I want to propose a toast to you."

He Guanqun held up a glass of beer, stared, and pretended to be displeased: "Change the project quickly, or you won't give me, my brother-in-law, face."

The chatter and laughter suddenly weakened, and everyone's attention was attracted.

He Jingkun and the others called Li Fan brother-in-law, because they were younger than him after all, and after He's father came, they were the only ones who called him brother-in-law, He Yuanjie.

But now that the He family is gathered around the table, He Guanqun calls him brother-in-law and calls himself brother-in-law. This is so fucking surprising!

Unexpectedly, Li Fan was so frightened that he broke into a waterfall of sweat and was completely confused.

He Jingyun, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to pick up a wine bottle and an empty glass, fill them with wine for him, and said with an angry smile: "My brother is toasting you a drink, and I must give you this face."

Li Fan nodded mechanically, without looking at the expressions of the elders. He raised his glass and gestured to He Guanqun: "Brother, I respect you."

Then, he raised his head and drank. In a moment, half the glass was gone. Then Li Fan remembered something, slowed down, and spent three times as long to drink up the remaining half of the glass.

"Okay, happy."
