Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Sissi, do you have a fever?"

Aunt Liu looked at Liu Yifei who hurried in with a slightly nervous expression.

When I got up, I felt the temperature of her forehead, and kept mumbling: "You didn't listen to me when I told you to put on more clothes. You must have caught a cold now. Come on, let mom see if there is any fever."

"Mom, I'm really fine."

Liu Yifei took a sip of water, her bold actions in the car were reflected in her mind like a movie, and her heart was still beating hard.

"Still trying to be brave? Your face and ears are so red, and you still say you're fine."

Aunt Liu's tone was slightly angry.

But at the same time, he quickly took out the thermometer from the medicine box, and regardless of Liu Yifei's refusal, he came up to take her temperature.

After drinking another glass of water, Liu Yifei's mood calmed down a little. Aunt Liu was stunned when she looked at the normal body temperature displayed on the thermometer in her hand.

Since there is nothing wrong with your health, what's the matter with your face and ears being so red just now?

"Mom, look, look!"

Liu Yifei acted as if nothing had happened, and smiled calmly: "I'm really fine."

Something bad is going on now!

As someone who had been there, Aunt Liu vaguely noticed something was wrong.

"You should keep warm even if you have nothing to do. The weather in Beijing is so cold now. It's so uncomfortable if you catch a cold."

He didn't stop talking, but his eyes were looking at his daughter, and he keenly noticed that she looked at her mobile phone from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Ding!

The mobile phone information alert sounds.

Liu Yifei couldn't wait to open her phone and saw the content of the text message. An uncontrollable smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

Aunt Liu, who had enough fighting experience with her daughter, resisted the urge to check Liu Yifei's phone. Instead, she packed the medical kit and asked intentionally, "Sissi, who sent the message?"

"It's Xiao Zhou."

"What did he say?"

Aunt Liu's movements paused, and she felt a thump in her heart.

Liu Yifei felt that the surroundings were full of flowers and dew. She took two deep breaths and even the air was sweet. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said happily:

"Hey, he said Happy New Year."

……………………

"Is this your girlfriend?"

After getting into the car from Hongqiao Airport, Wang Fengqin watched with a smile as Zhou Yutang helped Li Yao put the luggage in the trunk, then approached Zhou Yutang and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, what did you say?"

Zhou Yutang denied it flatly and explained a little.

But looking at Ms. Wang Fengqin's expression, it was obvious that she didn't quite believe it.

The old mother's kind eyes kept glancing at Li Yao.

The girl looked at her and didn't know where to put her hands.

Due to the shortage of air tickets during the New Year, Zhou Yutang asked Mao Xiaoyu to book tickets directly to Hongqiao Airport in the magical capital.

Ms. Wang Fengqin's clothing factory is in Kunshan. She came to the city to talk to a designer about the clothing pattern design for the next season, and asked the driver to pick Zhou Yutang home on the way.

Li Yao also happened to be from Kunshan City, so he took her home with him.

Zhou Yutang enjoys life when he makes money. In the middle of the year, he also bought Ms. Wang Fengqin a white BMW 740.

Li Yao's home is actually in a county-level city below Suzhou, not far from Hongqiao Airport, and she was sent home in less than an hour.

"Hey, Qinqin, your boyfriend sent you home, and he drives a BMW?"

There was a small shop on the roadside, and an old man in a thick cotton-padded jacket was sitting at the door. He saw Li Yao standing on the roadside waving goodbye and grinning.

"no."

Li Yao blushed a little: "Uncle Li, don't be ridiculous, that's my boss."

"Oh, your boss is so kind. He even drove you home."

"He is also from Jiangsu Province. His home is in Yancheng. We happened to take a flight to Hongqiao Airport together, so he took me back along the way."

"hey-hey."

Uncle Li said cheerfully: "I just saw him get out of the car and help you carry your luggage. It's rare to see such a handsome young man. Take advantage of it."

"I won't tell you anymore."

Miss Li Yao was no match for this veteran, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Stomping his feet, he turned around and ran home with his suitcase in hand.

Ms. Wang Fengqin is actually a very down-to-earth and simple Chinese-style middle-aged woman.

She can sacrifice a lot for this family.

In his early years, when Zhou Zhengping was busy with his education career, she was responsible for housework and the education of his cub Zhou Yutang.

She had not finished junior high school and did not understand any big principles. Based on her own experience as a self-employed person, she instilled a lot of knowledge into Zhou Yutang that was not found in textbooks.

Don't suffer a loss.

Second, we must have a conscience.

Being self-employed is not easy.

In order to save labor costs, Ms. Wang Fengqin can carry snakeskin bags by herself to purchase goods. She has met all kinds of people, so she has rich experience in the world.

Zhou Yutang thrived under her influence and was about to enter college and start a new stage of life in a few years.

As a result, Zhou Yutang suddenly told her that she wanted to start a career.

The son's wings became stiff and he wanted to fly, and the old mother was also worried.

After discussing with Zhou Zhengping, Ms. Wang Fengqin came up with the final result:

Let Zhou Yutang start his own career outside, while she and Zhou Zhengping worked hard at home, serving as Zhou Yutang's strongest backing.

Don't say anything else.

At least save enough money to buy a house for your son and a wife.

The thinking of ordinary local parents is roughly the same.

But he never expected that his son would be so promising.

Last year, the online store made more than 2 million yuan. Ms. Wang Fengqin was so proud that she had reached the peak of her career. Then she heard the news that Zhou Yutang reported that she was worth tens of millions.

My first reaction was a bit dizzy.

This year it’s even more extraordinary.

Zhou Yutang personally revealed that his net worth exceeds 100 million. Not long ago, the YC City Government officially announced that he has become a city image ambassador.

I definitely can't live in the original place anymore.

Zhou Yutang is now very popular, and many fans have learned about Zhou Yutang's home address through various strange methods.

So Ms. Wang Fengqin used the money she earned from the online store to buy a house in the city center, about 160 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms.

After arriving at his new home, Zhou Yutang walked around and commented: "Mom, the layout is good, but why don't you buy a single-family villa? The housing prices here in Yancheng are not expensive now."

"We're just a family of three, why do we live in a big villa?"

Ms. Wang Fengqin's thoughts were still simple. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked: "By the way, son, tell the truth. Is the girl who came back with you your girlfriend?"

"It's really not true."

Zhou Yutang was a little helpless, took a few apples and took a bite: "This person is an artist from my studio."

"Artist, is he a star?"

"It almost means the same thing."

"So this girl is also a star? I haven't seen her act in any drama?"

"The genre you're watching is wrong. This girl plays in a youth TV series."

Ms. Wang Fengqin likes to watch real-life rural marriages with family stories and TV series like "Country Love Story" and "Golden Wedding" that she never misses every episode.

But I have never even watched campus youth dramas like "We Went to School Together".

"Really not your girlfriend?"

He looked at Zhou Yutang's expression suspiciously, and after receiving his son's repeated affirmative and affirmative answers, he shook his head regretfully:

"That's a pity. I think Li Yao is a very nice girl. She is quiet, gentle, and very polite. She chatted with an aunt on the way. She is from our side and knows everything. If she really succeeds, it will be convenient for her to visit her relatives in the future. , you can drive to her home in two hours.”

"Mom, on the way home just now, did you even think of your grandson's name?"

"Don't tell me. I have thought about it, but your father has to come up with the name. Maybe it's his granddaughter."

"Mom, you have misunderstood me too deeply. Your son is very honest."

"Come on, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and that star fruit are all your girlfriends, I already know it." Wang Fengqin rolled up her sleeves to choose vegetables as she spoke, and said casually.

"."

Zhou Yutang's pupils were shaking, and he almost choked on the apple: "Where did you learn about it?"

"Mengmeng, she often reads entertainment newspapers and knows a lot."

"Why doesn't this Mengmeng learn well? She reads entertainment industry gossip every day. I have to talk to my aunt."

Zhou Yutang took a hard bite of the apple.

Before Zhou Zhengping came back, the two of them were chatting about homely things and preparing the ingredients for dinner, which was simple and warm.

"That little Chaoyue also came to our store. The little girl has grown taller again. She is really pretty and very sensible. She calls her aunt when we meet and takes the initiative to help with things..."

"She seems to be graduating from elementary school soon, right?"

In the evening, the family had a sumptuous dinner. Ms. Wang Fengqin was very happy watching Little Shenyang on the TV.

"Ouch, why is this sketch performed by Zhao Benshan so funny?"

"It's really good."

Zhou Zhengping also nodded slightly.

Lao Zhou and Ms. Wang Fengqin are both loyal fans of Zhao Benshan's sketches, and they basically follow them every year.

Zhou Yutang also took a look.

Northeastern King's sketch "Not Short of Money" is indeed a classic, and the young man named Xiao Shen Yang is going to be popular.

Reading the news, it seems that he is the proud disciple of the Northeast King.

At night, when they went out to set off firecrackers, Zhou Yutang sent a message back to Liu Tianxian and Liu Shishi.

After replying to the message, I received another video from Sister Li.

Zeng Li returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year this year and set off fireworks with her sister, smiling brightly.

Da Meiyuan is a big girl in the capital, so she naturally spends the holidays with her family.

Well, I want to make progress.

Time management must be done well.

On the first day of the new year, I went to offer incense and fulfill my wishes. During the day, I picked up a small koi carp and walked around and ate together.

It’s this little girl’s treat.

However, as I grow older, I also learn to be smarter and know how to put money in my own small wallet and keep it tightly in the pocket of my new clothes.

But when Zhou Yutang asked about his results, the little koi looked around him in a huffing voice.

During her holidays, she would occasionally go to Ms. Wang Fengqin's clothing store to help. She also knew that Zhou Yutang had been a top student since she was a child.

Probably because I feel that my mid-to-lower results are a bit unspeakable.

"Do you really want to be a star in the future?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then your academic performance can't be too bad. At least you have to get into college."

"Brother Yu Tang, why are so many celebrities illiterate?"

"Where did you see that?"

"In the entertainment newspaper."

"..."

Zhou Yutang was speechless.

In fact, it is not too outrageous now. The further we go, the more illiterate people will become.

Do you dare to imagine that a hot celebrity can’t even write about visiting here, and can’t tell the difference between odd and even numbers?

"Your conditions, if you want to be a star, I think that's fine, but do you want to be a star like me, or the kind of illiterate star who is laughed at?"

Zhou Yutang's tone gradually became serious.

"That must be you, Brother Yu Tang. All the Chinese teachers in our class are your fans."

"Then don't think so far ahead. Try to get into No. 1 Middle School first, and then I'll tell you what to do."

"All right."

No. 1 Middle School is the top-ranked junior high school in Yancheng.

Zhou Yutang is still very positive.

I have learned about the achievements of small koi fish.

She was originally smart, but due to family reasons, her mind was a bit mixed and she did not focus entirely on her studies.

Later, her parents reconciled. If she is willing to endure hardships and work hard, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to go to the first middle school.

Little Koi is still a primary school student. Although he is a little more mature than ordinary primary school students, he should still focus on learning in the short term, which is also responsible for his life.

While shopping, I went to the bookstore and picked up a complete set of Huanggang set meals to give to Mengmeng as a New Year gift.

She informed Ms. Wang Fengqin about her scandal every day.

There is no greater good than advising people to make progress.

In the second year of junior high school, Zhou Yutang went to her grandma's house with her parents. Lin Mengmeng turned out to be a loyal fan of Jike Junyi. She was very dissatisfied with the elimination of her from the The Voice program and pestered Zhou Yutang to help him resurrect Jike Junyi in the second season. Win the championship.

Zhou Yutang carried a box of Huanggang examination papers to his aunt's car with his backhand.

On the third day of junior high school, I met and had a meal with the second-in-command of the Yancheng government. Zhou Yutang is now the local publicity ambassador and has a strong influence.

With the emergence of such a famous figure, the leader felt proud and encouraged him to continue to contribute to his hometown.

When Zhou Yutang heard his leader talk about making contributions to his hometown, he thought of his fellow Jiangsu Province native Dong Ge.

Brother Dong is also a well-known figure, but his career development has not been very smooth in recent years. Jingdong's capital chain has problems, and Brother Dong's hair is almost turning gray.

However, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Yutang’s Spring Festival holiday has ended.

Return to the capital and start working officially.

Needless to say, he brought special products to several teachers. His smooth progress to this day was indispensable without the support of several teachers in the college.

I originally wanted to go to Teacher Yu's house to pay New Year's greetings and chat with Sister Yu about life exchange ideals. I didn't expect that Sister Yu would go back to the south to celebrate the New Year with her family's elders this year. She would at least wait until after the Lantern Festival before returning to the capital, so she had no choice but to give up.

Mao Xiaoyu is a native of Beijing. He also followed Zhou Yutang into work mode. After sorting out his work schedule, he asked curiously:

"Boss, I saw that you have a lot of offers for commercial performances. They all cost more than 1 million. You can rank among the top three mainland stars. Why don't you accept any of them?"

Business performances are when businesses invite celebrity artists to help promote products or participate in some platter parties.

When Zhou Yutang first debuted, he and Zeng Li took on a lot of commercial and acting activities.

You can always see Humble Zhou's busy figure at any real estate ribbon-cutting or shopping mall opening, so he was not joking when he told Lao Hu that the song "Want to See You" when he debuted made him want to vomit at one point.

At that time, the price for commercial performances was only a few hundred thousand, but the little money accumulated into a big sum, and millions of start-up funds were accumulated for the studio.

Later, Zhou Yutang's celebrity status soared and the studio was not short of money, so he stopped participating in such activities. Armani, the top luxury brand, probably took a fancy to Zhou Yutang's high-end style to some extent.

"Boss, you still have an endorsement to discuss."

"Jiaduobao, right?"

"Well, Jiaduobao offers 20 million for two years. How come the herbal tea seller is so rich?"

Mao Xiaoyu was amazed.

For now, only those first-tier Hong Kong stars can get this endorsement price, which is enough to show Zhou Yutang's high status.

However, Jiaduobao's sales increased several times last year with the help of the national variety show "The Voice".

Nowadays, when visiting relatives and friends during the holidays, one or two boxes of Jiaduobao herbal tea must be carried in hand. Even Ms. Wang Fengqin recognized this brand and bought two boxes for her aunt and uncle when she went to Grandma Zhou Yutang’s house.

This is the terrifying influence of national-level variety shows.

News came back from Tian Ming that Jiaduobao’s pre-signing fee for the second season of The Voice has been directly increased to 150 million!

Last year, the advertising fee for The Voice was more than 100,000 yuan for 10 seconds, but this year it has increased to more than 500,000 yuan!

Mingjie Company signed a sharing contract with the TV station, and the increase in naming and advertising revenue meant that he could also get more revenue.

Tian Ming admires Zhou Yutang now.

Follow the royal path and make a good reputation.

This strategy directly gave Mingjie Company a golden chicken that can lay golden eggs.

"Mr. Zhou, we're here."

The person driving today is Zhou Tai, the newly recruited driver from the studio.

Now that Zhou Yutang's status is very high, Li Shuang's attention to his security has also been raised to a higher level, and he has found connections to recruit a veteran from the army.

Zhou Tai is also an old scout who retired from the army. He is from Lu Province. He has a harmonious family, reliable character and stable character.

Jiangdong Studio has developed rapidly. It is no longer a bandit team at the beginning, but has transformed into an entertainment company.

Zhou Yutang is the big boss and controls the overall direction of the company's development.

Li Shuang is the general manager, responsible for execution, and also serves as the head of the artist management department.

In addition, there are several major departments such as business planning, brand projects, contact, finance, legal affairs, and promotion and publicity.

They are also recruiting people one after another to help handle the daily matters of the company's operation. After discussions with Tian Ming, Jiangdong Film and Television Culture Company is preparing to add a variety show department to be responsible for working with Mingjie Company. Side docking.

It's not that there is any problem with the relationship with Tian Ming, but that everyone has the idea of ​​​​long-term cooperation, making too much money, and needs to settle the accounts clearly.

If Zhou Yutang hadn't felt that Mao Xiaoyu was enough, Li Shuang would have even wanted to give Zhou Yutang three assistants.

"Yu Tang, I have to talk about you. You came right here. Why did you bring those things?" A middle-aged beautiful woman took the initiative to open the door for Zhou Yutang with a look of surprise on her face.

"That's right, Aunt Deng."

Zhou Yutang smiled innocently and put the things in his hands aside.

The Aunt Deng he talks about is Wang Xifeng in the 1987 version of Dream of Red Mansions, and she is also Zhang Guoli's wife.

"Come in quickly, Lao Zhang talks about you every day."

Deng Jie was criticizing, but she was actually smiling. She was in a very happy mood and directed her son to work: "Xiao Mo, go get Yu Tang a drink. Just drink Jiaduobao, hot pot." When the heat is raised, herbal tea can reduce the heat.”

With Zhou Yutang's style of doing things, he would not go to an elder's home empty-handed, and he would also bring along some local specialties from Jiangsu Province and Maotai and other gifts.

Zhang Mo glanced at Zhou Yutang silently and nodded as a greeting.

However, he seemed a little afraid of Lao Zhang, so he obediently brought Zhou Yutang a few cans of drinks.

"Thank you, Brother Mo."

Zhou Yutang's biggest impression of this brother should be that he looks very similar to Prince Long, as if he was copied and pasted from a template.

In addition, the story between him and Tong Yao also caused a small sensation in the circle at that time. The director of the Chinese Opera Performance Department immediately resigned, and a legal term was also invented.

We were not from the same place and couldn't talk to each other, so we just kept the politeness on face.

Seeing his son put down his chopsticks and walked outside without taking a few mouthfuls of food, and looking at Zhou Yutang again, Zhang Guoli's face darkened. He wanted to reprimand him, but Deng Jie tugged on his sleeve.

In desperation, Zhang Guoli shook his head and sighed in his heart.

It would be great if this brat could be one-tenth as successful as Zhou Yutang.

However, he is a person who does big things, so he didn't take it to heart. A smile appeared on his face instantly: "Yu Tang, you came at the right time today. There is also an elder in the circle who wants to get to know you."

"Oh? Which one?"

Zhou Yutang became a little interested.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived."

The doorbell rang, and Deng Jie quickly opened the door: "Lao Zhang was chatting with Yu Tang about you just now, come in quickly."

A middle-aged man wearing a black jacket walked in, sniffed, and said with a smile: "This hotpot mutton tastes right."

No introduction was needed, Zhou Yutang recognized who this person was at a glance.

The boss among the bosses in the Beijing circle.
