Chapter 365 Supermodel Retires
The active period of Mr. He's battlefield was the War of Resistance Against Japan. He went home to become the village chief without a few shots in the War of Liberation. Mr. Zhang basically started from the War of Liberation. One of them was the Central and the other was the Huaye, so there was no intersection at all. However, they both knew one person, Xu Handong, nicknamed Xu Dadan, and he was the hub for maintaining the two veterans.
Mr. Zhang didn't expect that this in-laws was the leader of his old leader, so he immediately saluted a military salute. Lin Lin had said before that He Mu's grandfather had been a soldier, and He Mu also vaguely said that his grandfather was the Eighth Route Army before, but the number in the Liberation War was unclear. Young people were interested in those who had little understanding. Now the two old men met here, but they didn't expect that they had such a relationship. Mr. Zhang recalled the little things around Xu Dadan decades ago, and it seemed that he had really heard from him that he had worked under the No. 1 Niu Ren, and it was probably this in-laws' grandfather.
Although Mr. He was still caring about the frontline wars during the period after leaving the army, he didn't know much about his friends, especially in that era, for young soldiers who had not yet become famous generals, it was difficult to find out about them. Therefore, he was not aware of the later life experience of Xu Dadan, a boy who was once his guard and promoted to platoon leader. Fortunately, Xiao Zhang was Xu Dadan's soldier, so maybe he could understand some situations from him.
Speaking of his former leader, Mr. Zhang's expression became dim. It turned out that Xu Handong made considerable achievements in the War of Liberation and was promoted to the regiment commander. Later, Mr. Zhang and him participated in the War of Resistance and Aid Korea together. It was a tragic war beyond imagination. Unfortunately, in that war, Xu Handong died in the stray bullet at the age of only thirty. He was a very promising young soldier.
When talking about his deceased comrades-in-arms, Mr. He looked dim. Although most of his life was free and unrestrained, the more than ten years he had been in the army were also very unforgettable for him. In particular, Xu Dadan and a group of comrades-in-arms in the same team were very much missed. He thought that so many years had passed, at least he could have a stable old age, but he didn't expect to die in the 1950s. Life was really too impermanent and too sad.
The two old men talked about their comrades, former superiors, subordinates, wars, and international situations. Once these topics were involved, the two veterans began to stop talking. The sadness just now was also wiped out, and the rest of them started chatting with each other according to their seniority. However, Zilin's father and her cousin both developed a strong interest in He Mu's elder brother He Zao. Although this person didn't look like a mountain or a watery person, and even stood there with an undetectable strange feeling, inconspicuous but a strong sense of existence. This wonderful feeling was one of the reasons why they noticed him. But more importantly, they had a familiar feeling about He Mu's elder brother.
After thinking for a while, Zilin's father first thought that there seemed to be such a young man around Vice Chairman Xi. After all, Vice Chairman Xi is not the top leader of the country. He is just a designated successor and has not made so many appearances in the news broadcast and other media. Therefore, He Zao is not showing off many times around him. No wonder Zilin's father in the military system needs to think about it for a while before he can remember him. He looked at his nephew, meaning that he should have a chance to meet the people around Vice Chairman Xi. This person's achievements are limitless.
During the happy bilateral talks between everyone, Zilin's mother first mentioned the marriage, and then He Mu's mother also responded actively. Zilin's mother was really anxious. Zhang Zilin's family did not have the awareness of being surnamed Zhang. She now regards herself as the He family. All daily necessities and dogs are at He Mu's house. Her own home is like a hotel. She occasionally stays for a while and may leave without even calling him in the morning. This is He Taitong.
Although He Mu's mother didn't say anything about He Mu Zilin's unmarried living together, after all, boys would not suffer any losses, but she liked Zilin very much. She was tall, beautiful, very sensible and filial, and was the only lady of the world among Chinese women. Such a good child is hard to find with a lantern, and the children born in the future must be very excellent. Since his waiter met him, you must firmly grasp it. Feelings are unreliable, and a marriage certificate and a child after marriage are the best magic weapon to maintain marriage. Zilin has not yet married, He's mother-in-law has already begun to consider it from her perspective. It is difficult for such a mother-in-law relationship to be disharmonious.
Facing the pressure given by the two mothers, looking at the earnest eyes of the two grandpas, He Mu promised to take a break after filming the movie on hand for a while to get married, but he definitely couldn't think about it now, because something happened to his grandpa. He Mu could not leave the capital before his grandpa was out of danger. Xu Jinglei had made great concessions. In order to shoot the Thai scenery in the best season, she had already gone to Thailand first, intending to film her and Pai Ci's scenes, and allowed He Mu to postpone joining the group by one week. Now his grandpa's health is no longer seriously damaged. He Mu plans to fly to Thailand to meet the crew tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Because he has not even watched the revised script for recent events, he feels a little apologized, so he doesn't want to delay any more.
He Mu promised to get married after the next drama, which was a rare joy for the elderly in the He Zhang family. He Mu agreed so happily was a bit unexpected. It seemed that he was afraid of marriage before, hoping to get married when he was more mature. He didn't expect that today he would give such an accurate answer in front of the four parents, two grandpas and two brothers. It seems that the desire of the He family to add a new partner is not far away.
Seeing the happy look of his relatives, He Muzilin looked at each other and smiled bitterly. If this hadn't happened, they might have become legal couples now, and their marriage was no worse than others. While everyone was not paying attention, He Mu whispered to Zilin again, "Why don't we get the certificate tomorrow and give them a surprise." He Mu glanced at several old men.
Zilin thought carefully, then shook his head, "We don't need to be so anxious. We will do it slowly after you return to China, and I still have some work things to deal with tomorrow."
It seems that after the initial fanaticism, Zi Lin no longer rushed to get a marriage certificate like she hated marrying a daughter as she wanted to marry. Now she is like the mature, steady and charming sister Zi Lin. She is still very career-oriented and knows to finish her work first and then talk about marriage.
But what He Mu didn't expect was that Zhang Zilin's so-called handling of some things on the next day turned out to be like this.
Zhang Zilin and the boss of the New Silk Road also discovered her Chinese model godfather, Li Xiaobai, the first mainland model agent, sat face to face in the cafe. Zhang Zilin apologized slightly. Although Li Xiaobai's face was calm, he could not hide his disappointment.
"Have you really decided?" Li Xiaobai asked again.
Zhang Zilin nodded, "I decided, thank you Brother Xiaobai for your cultivation of me over the years. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what it was to walk the catwalk."
Li Xiaobai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You have to be so good. Even if you don't have me, there will be others who will lead you to this path. You are born to do this. But I'm not bragging about it. If someone else is your agent, I'm afraid your achievements will be limited to the domestic front line. There is still a certain gap in becoming an international supermodel, and this is exactly where the New Silk Road can help you."
Zhang Zilin nodded with a smile. She understood the truth. New Silk Road and Li Xiaobai put a lot of manpower and material resources to him, so she made a promise to Li Xiaobai. "I promise not to join other model companies, let alone work for New Silk Road competitors. I really want to quit."
"Don't you think about it anymore? You are only twenty-five years old and are the golden age of a model. If you work harder, you may become an international first-line supermodel." Li Xiaobai continued to tempt.
Just yesterday, Zhang Zilin called and said she wanted to talk to him. Li Xiaobai knew that the five-year contract they signed was about to expire. Zhang Zilin should have wanted to talk about the contract renewal. In order to keep Zhang Zilin, Li Xiaobai made a generous contract that she could not refuse overnight. She was the company's money tree and pillar. Not to mention that her endorsement fee income alone was equivalent to the total income of four or five sisters in the same period. Just her title of Miss World and the media effect of He Mu's girlfriend will also bring unexpected gains to the New Silk Road, so Li Xiaobai was unwilling to let go.
But Zhang Zilin wanted to let go, and she didn't want to renew the contract. The two of them were drinking coffee. Zilin said her thoughts, and I'm afraid she can no longer engage in the modeling industry.
Li Xiaobai certainly understood why Zhang Zilin had this idea, it must be because of her boyfriend, "Do you think it's worth giving up his career for He Mu? When he succeeds and becomes famous, you have accomplished nothing because of his success. Don't you feel that you have lost money?"
"I think it's great to be the woman behind him, and even if I don't become a model, I can do something else, such as management. I originally learned this, but now I finally have the opportunity to apply what I have learned." Zhang Zilin mainly felt that if the couple are both public figures, then there will definitely be a media voice, which is not conducive to the stability and harmony of marriage, so she is willing to break away from the pursuit of the spotlight and return to the life of ordinary people.
How could Li Xiaobai not understand her thoughts? "Your sacrifice is a bit big. If you break up in the end, your career will be impacted by a fault." There are not many successful cases of retirement and return in the modeling circle. If you retreat, it will be difficult to think about it later. The most important thing in the modeling circle is fresh blood, and a large number of tall beauties are caught.
Zhang Zilin smiled sweetly, "We are ready to get married, I believe we will be together forever."
"Oh? Is that so, congratulations," Li Xiaobai finally gave up on the struggle. He knew that he could not persuade this woman who was immersed in the love honeypot. At this time, he suddenly thought of what Zhang Zilin had said before, "You said you would like to do some management work after not being a model, right?"
