Due to the visits of relatives, this year's Spring Festival was much more lively than in previous years. Especially after Li Qiangguo decided to go home on the third day of the new year to worship his ancestors, Jiang Bei and Li Youqing, as their descendants, naturally had to go back too.
My hometown is not like a big city. The place is really remote. Just when I got home, I took all the means of transportation available. As soon as I arrived at my hometown, I felt exhausted both physically and mentally. I was too tired to walk.
The time left for them to rest is also short, and the matters of ancestor worship are cumbersome and boring. In addition, relatives who hear the news come to talk to you at any time, so everyone is very busy.
Especially Li Youqing, a popular artist who has become famous in recent years, has become the subject of heated discussion in the neighborhood. Many people surround her every day. The level of sensation is no less than that of an audience organized by the village decades ago.
Filming activities.
Of course, the topic of conversation was not about movies and TV series, but about women’s parents’ shortcomings.
For example, what role should a wife play at home?
What kind of wife is a qualified wife?
Why is it said that behind a successful man there must be a woman who manages the household well, etc...
Not to mention, Xiao Nizi is very enthusiastic about this aspect and is deeply involved in it.
It was not until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after the ancestor worship work was completed, that the family embarked on the journey home.
It is worth mentioning that the two families, Li Xuemei and Li Qiangjun, seemed to be worried that things would change and insisted on going back to Weilan City with them, as if they were afraid that Li Qiangguo's family would run away.
After a tiring journey, we finally set foot on the familiar land of Azure City at four o'clock in the afternoon.
"I've been really tired these past few days, and I haven't slept well at all. I need to have a good rest when I go home tonight." Sitting in the car, Li Youqing muttered, rubbing his sore shoulders.
"Liang Liang's massage skills are good. Go back and ask her to give you a squeeze." Jiang Bei glanced at his haggard wife and said with a little distress.
"With her strength, she can't pinch me until it hurts." Li Youqing shook her head and refused directly from the gambling king to loosen her muscles and bones, and asked: "We are not at home these days, have you left any living expenses for her?"
Jiang Bei was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "That's not true, but she just received the New Year's money from her parents, so she shouldn't have no money to eat, right?"
Since he was going back to the Li family to worship his ancestors, he didn't take Liang Liang with him, but asked her to stay at home.
"That's hard to say. Based on her urine quality, she'll probably be gone on the first day she gets the money." Li Youqing curled her lips and said.
"No, actually Liangliang is much better now than before." Jiang Bei felt that his wife misunderstood his sister a bit, and for the sake of a harmonious family life in the future, it was rare for him to speak to Liangliang.
"I don't know if she is good or not. Anyway, you are my conniving brother. If you don't have money, I will give it to you."
This is said in a strange and yin-yang way.
The old man held the steering wheel and replied: "Look at you, every time I pay living expenses, I don't hide it from you, let alone behind your back."
Xiao Nizi seemed to be at odds with this matter, shrugging and replying: "You didn't even know you gave it to me..."
"I can show you the transfer records." Jiang Bei thought for a while and felt that he could prove his innocence through the transfer records.
Li Youqing's eyes twitched when he heard this, turned his head and stared at his profile, and said with a smile: "It's boring to look at the transfer records, otherwise Beibei, why don't you leave all the money to me for safekeeping?"
Damn it!
"this……"
Jiangbei was a little hesitant.
"If you don't want to, forget it." Seeing this, Li Youqing did not continue to embarrass her. He just lowered his head and stretched out his fingers and said: "But I heard people say that if a man really loves this woman, he will be willing to give her to her.
All the money was given to this woman for safekeeping."
Hearing this, Jiang Bei twitched his lips and said, "Okay, here you go."
"Hey, Beibei, you're so kind."
"..."
Li Youqing acted very quickly. After returning home, he immediately took away all the money in Jiangbei's account balance, leaving only five thousand yuan for monthly daily expenses.
"Beibei, don't worry, I will help you manage the money and then take it out when you plan to open a restaurant."
After successfully getting the demolition money, Xiao Nizi had a smile on her face. She flipped through the accounts carefully, talking energetically but looking exhausted.
Looking at the only five thousand yuan in his balance, Jiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, most of the profits of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment and Erjing Group are still in the company's accounts. The remaining profits were used to support the "Qingbei Fund" to contribute to society before the year, so the remaining profits in the accounts are currently
The money was all from demolition money, so I didn't expose myself.
Of course, you have to be careful in what you do next, especially when it comes to money transactions, it is best not to go into his account, otherwise it will be easily discovered by the young child.
However, with Liangliang as a third-party storage center, you don’t have to worry too much about this.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei looked around and found that the house was empty. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the gambling king hadn't come home yet.
"Beibei, shall we watch "Infernal Affairs" later?"
At this time, Li Youqing finally took care of the demolition payment and raised his head to make a suggestion.
"Infernal Affairs", the second film launched by Erjing Film and Television last year, was released in China on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year. Due to the acquisition of Sanchuan Cinema, "Infernal Affairs" scored 100% on the first day of release.
A film scheduling rate of forty.
Of course, the classic movie "Infernal Affairs" did not disappoint domestic audiences. The box office exceeded 120 million on the first day of the Lunar New Year, becoming the first movie in 2021 with the fastest single-day box office to exceed 100 million, and the first movie in 2021 to break the 100 million box office.
Billions of movies.
With the film's high quality and reputation, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" has exceeded 1 billion after seven days of release, giving the Chinese film market a good start in the new year.
And the down-and-out actor Xu Hanzhou also reappeared in the public eye with the release of this movie. Although he did not become an instant hit, he ushered in a new life.
But what's more important is that Li Youqing is participating in this movie, so she definitely wants to see how she performs on the screen and what the fans in the theater think of her.
"Okay, you might as well go and have a look."
Jiang Bei nodded in agreement. He also wanted to see if this world's "Infernal Affairs" could match the standards of his previous life.
"Then I'll clean up first and then go out to eat. Ask where Liangliang is." Li Youqing explained and got up and went into the bathroom.
The old man picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Liangliang, but received no reply.
"Where is this girl?"
…
Guomao Mall, this is the place where the couple spent time alone tonight. After having dinner on the basement floor, the young couple walked hand in hand in this huge shopping mall.
"How long until the movie starts? If there is enough time, why not buy you two sets of spring clothes first?" Li Youqing held Jiang Bei's hand and shook it gently, her eyes under the mask full of comfort.
This is the price of being famous. If you go out without wearing a mask, you will easily be watched.
"It starts in thirty minutes, so let's go up and wait." Jiang Bei really has no interest in shopping, especially after buying clothes, he has to carry large and small bags to watch a movie, which is inconvenient.
"Okay, let's go shopping after watching the movie." Xiao Nizi was in a good mood and jumped on the elevator first.
The cinema is on the fourth floor, and it takes about five minutes to go up. After buying a ticket, you can almost enter.
But he never expected that just as he reached the fourth floor, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side of Li Youqing, wearing a worn-out peaked cap to cover his face, and said in a low voice: "You two, do you want movie tickets? I sell them at 20% off here, and couples can sit together.
, five to eight rows of middle numbers, excellent for movie viewing.”
Jiangbei and Li Youqing were both stunned: "Liangliang?"
The old peaked cap was raised slightly, revealing the tender white face and the innocent smile that was harmless to humans and animals: "Oh, it's my brother and sister-in-law!"
"What are you doing? Are you selling movie tickets?" Li Youqing frowned and asked.
"I sent you a message and I didn't reply. I thought you were kidnapped." The old man also interjected.
"Ah! My mobile phone is out of service because of arrears. I'm just waiting to sell my movie tickets to make some money to pay the phone bill." Liang Liang took off his peaked cap and laughed.
"Where's your pocket money?"
"My brother hasn't sent it to me this month."
"What about your new year's money?"
"These days you go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. No one cooks at home, so I can only eat outside."
"What can you eat that costs tens of thousands of dollars!"
"I thought the same thing at first, until I ordered a bottle of red wine from 1982. After drinking it, I was forced to stay in the store and wash the dishes for several days. By the way! Don't you want to watch a movie? I'm here
There are exactly three tickets and it will start soon, so hurry up and watch."
No one would believe the gambling king's nonsense, but she quickly changed the topic to watching a movie, leaving Li Youqing and Jiang Bei unable to ask clearly what was going on.
In fact, there is no need to ask more. As the famous gambling king of Anseong, where else can this money go?
"Look, what I said is right, right?" While entering the cinema and waiting for the movie to start, Li Youqing paid Liangliang's phone bill and whispered into his ear.
Jiang Bei glanced at Liang Liang who was eating popcorn and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I think she should be forced to get rid of this bad habit."
"Nature is hard to change, how to change it?"
"Starting from today, her pocket money will be cancelled."
"Isn't this good..." Jiang Bei was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He had just promised to double Liangliang's pocket money, and now he has canceled it rashly. What if Liangliang has any objections?
"You don't need to worry about this matter. If she has any objections, she can come to me." Li Youqing seemed determined to cure the gambling king's 'disease' and said with all his heart.
OK.
Don't care, just don't care.
If it doesn't work out, I'll make up for it privately with pocket money from within the company. Anyway, I can't let the black fan alliance break up due to interests.
Thinking of this, Jiangbei simply relaxed and enjoyed the movie.
The quality of the movie is indeed very high. Although it certainly cannot restore 100% of the original scenes, the core of the story is successfully expressed.
The acting skills of the actors in it are also very good. Even Li Youqing, who doesn't have many roles, can be considered quite satisfactory and has reached the level of online acting after tempering in the past few years.
In addition, the economy of this era is more developed than that of the previous life, and the per capita purchasing power has increased. It is reasonable for the movie to reach a box office of one billion in seven days.
Even with the current strength of "Infernal Affairs", maybe the final box office can reach more than 2 billion.
It's just that movies are so profitable, which is actually a very distressing thing for Jiangbei.
He really doesn't want to make too much money, because the more money he has, the greater the risk of exposure. Even if he puts it in Liangliang's pocket, there is still a chance of being discovered.
Therefore, you have to find a way to waste some money and maintain a balance.
…
The New Year of 2021 passed quickly, and it was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye, and most people started working.
Li Youqing is no exception, but she has not forgotten the promise she made to her relatives in her hometown. The first thing she did at work was to take sisters Ruyu and Ruji to Yihe Film and Television Entertainment to see if they could be signed and become one of its affiliates.
A trainee.
His father-in-law Li Qiangguo also took office and personally established a "Black Fan Organization WeChat Group" and invited Jiang Bei and Zhang Jiuliang to join.
Li Qiangguo: "From today on, this is our network gathering place. I hope everyone can be active and work hard for our goals."
Zhang Jiuliang: "Spread flowers~I will follow the leadership's instructions."
Jiangbei: "Spread flowers~"
Even though Li Qiangguo is a bit old, he still plays this kind of social software very well. After finishing his speech, he specially sent a lucky red envelope worth 200 yuan to liven up the atmosphere.
In the end, Jiangbei got 98 yuan, Li Qiangguo got 101.50 cents, and the rest was snatched away by the gambling king of Ancheng.
"Next, follow the plan. Let Ruyu Ruji enter Yihe Film and Television first. In addition, Beibei, sort out all the properties currently under your name and send them to me. I will see what I can use to suppress Youyou.
of."
After handing out the red envelopes, Li Qiangguo began to give orders.
"Okay, Dad."
Jiang Bei replied in the group, then turned around and immediately contacted Li Shushu and asked him to sell Li Youqing to save the face of the two sisters Ruyu and Ruji.
Then he secretly sent a message to Liangliang asking for countermeasures: "Liangliang, it is known that your sister-in-law wants to bring Ruyuruji into the entertainment industry to change your uncle's mind; your uncle also wants to block your sister-in-law through our hands, then we
What should I do if I’m caught in the middle?”
The news was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the gambling king has not responded to the news for a long time.
Jiang Bei was a little confused. He looked at the huge office of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment. He got up and looked around for the gambling king. Finally, he saw her walking in the aisle carrying a sack and happened to hold a staff member's drink bottle in her hand.
This girl, why did you put away the rags?
"Cool cool!"
The old man waved quickly.
When Liangliang saw her brother, the oil bottle at the corner of her mouth took off: "Liangliang is long, Liangliang is short, you don't care if Liangliang doesn't have money."
Jiang Bei felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He rubbed his nose and lowered his voice and said, "It's not like you don't know that the financial power of the family is now controlled by your sister-in-law, and there's nothing my brother can do about it!"
After Li Youqing decided to cancel Liangliang's pocket money and informed her of it, Liangliang protested loudly; but due to the financial power in her hands, no matter how she protested, it was of no avail, and she eventually lost her monthly pocket money subsidy of 500 yuan.
This is also the reason why a cool mood is not beautiful.
Seeing that she was so angry that she didn't speak, Jiang Bei hesitated and said: "In this case, you can ask your left and right to give you a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan as a sweeper. It will be counted as pocket money that I will give you privately, but you can't tell your sister-in-law.
.”
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Let's help discuss how to solve the current problem."
