Huayu is free to do as you like

After the family dinner, Gu Wei wanted to help clear the table, but Liu's mother stopped him.

"Sissi, you chat with Gu Wei while Aunt Wang and I clean up." Aunt Wang is Liu Yifei's nanny. Although she didn't cook the dinner, she also helped in the kitchen when Liu Xiaoli was cooking, otherwise such a sumptuous table would be Liu Xiaoli alone can't handle the dishes.

Liu's mother came from a privileged background. Although she divorced very early and left Liu Yifei alone, her living conditions were never bad. Naturally, she did not cook every day like ordinary housewives. For many years, she was surrounded by servants taking care of the housework.

"I know, you told Gu Wei not to be polite, but you are still so polite to him." Liu Yifei muttered impatiently.

It's not that she is rude, it's normal for Liu's mother to treat guests with kindness and enthusiasm, but because Liu Xiaoli has always wanted to bring her and Gu Wei together, she has some rebellious psychology.

In Liu Yifei's view, she and Gu Wei are very good friends. Even if they get closer in the future, it is because they get along well together. Her mother's ideas are too snobbish and purposeful, which will make her feel inferior to others in front of her good friends. a feeling of.

The idea is a bit naive, but Liu Yifei's smooth experience since childhood also created this kind of character.

Speaking of which, there are many women who are close to Gu Wei, but each person's unique personality and experience determine their different ways of getting along with him.

Da Mi Mi would never have such naive ideas as Liu Yifei. Her relationship with Gu Wei was largely maintained by interests, and she wished she could get more resources from Gu Wei.

Nazha is another type of person who doesn't care too much about resources and benefits, because she knows that Gu Wei will make arrangements for her, as long as she is obedient.

"This kid

Gu Wei, please sit down first, and Auntie will wash some fruits for you." Liu Xiaoli said warmly and turned to the kitchen.

"Auntie is so enthusiastic every time I come here."

"You are a young and promising son-in-law in her eyes. Of course she is enthusiastic."

"Oh? What do you think, Sister Yi Fei?

Do you think so too? "

Gu Wei laughed and joked with Liu Yifei.

"hehe.

Can you cut ties with those ‘scandal girlfriends’? "Liu Yifei stared at Gu Wei with her beautiful eyes, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, half-smiling.

"Ahem.

Sister Yifei, you already called her the 'scandal girlfriend', what else can you say?" Gu Wei laughed. He originally wanted to tease Liu Yifei, but he didn't expect to be criticized back.

"Scumbag. I've known what you are like since I met you." Liu Yifei curled her lips.

Gu Wei is the most suitable person she has met over the years. Regardless of all conditions, he meets her criteria for choosing a mate. Even Liu's mother is very supportive.

The two have known each other for so many years, and they know each other well, and their feelings for each other have gradually deepened.

She has a crush on Gu Wei, and the relationship between the two has the feeling of an unsatisfied lover above AUO.

When filming "Tang Detective 2" the year before last, she learned that her best friend had passed away. Her emotions were extremely fragile. Gu Wei was by her side to comfort her. At that time, she even had the urge to throw herself directly into the other person's arms.

Unfortunately, after a good sleep, she regained her senses and thought of Gu Wei's playboy style from beginning to end, so she took back the half-step she was about to take, and the two of them resumed their original relationship of good friends.

It's just that we got closer to each other.

Gu Wei was not angry when he was called a scumbag, he just smiled. This was not the first time Liu Yifei said that about him.

"The launch of [Cohabitation in Time and Space] is relatively late. Aren't you going to join the group in the second half of the year?"

"I'm not as busy as you. I usually shoot one or two movies a year, and then I run some brand activities.

The rest of the time is spent at home petting the cat and reading a book, so that I won’t get too tired.”

Liu Yifei sat up straight, shook her head, and tied her hair with a hairband again.

Then he leaned back on the sofa, with one leg crossed and the other dangling outside, and his white and tender feet swinging back and forth.

"This is how to enjoy life. I want to do this too, but it's a pity that I'm usually too busy with work."

"Why do you make yourself so tired? It would be better if you slow down the pace."

Gu Wei smiled slightly and said nothing.

It's not the time for him to rest yet. It's already 2017, and his foresight will soon expire. By then, whether he is a dragon or a worm will depend entirely on his strength.

By accumulating more capital now, you will be able to go more smoothly in the future.

"Although I don't have to join the crew for filming in the second half of the year, there is indeed one more important thing." Liu Yifei pouted slightly and thought for a while.

“Disney has a blockbuster movie that needs a Chinese actress and is currently in the casting stage.

I have got the opportunity to audition, and I will go to the audition after a while of preparation.”

"[Mulan], right?" Gu Wei thought of what movie it was as soon as he heard about Disney.

"Yes, it is the live-action version of [Mulan], a Hollywood A-level blockbuster. Only movies with special themes like this will find Chinese actresses as the protagonists.

I have been practicing recently to prepare for the audition for this movie! "

Mentioning [Mulan], Liu Yifei's eyes widened slightly, with a look of longing on her face.

For all Chinese actresses, this opportunity is their access to the best resources.

"Sister Yifei, you have no problem. Regardless of your image or reputation, you are the most suitable candidate for this role.

There are very few actresses of the younger generation who are as good at fighting as you are.”

"Zhang Tianai from your company is also very good at fighting. Most of the roles she plays are very heroic, and she is also very suitable for the role of "Mulan".

And now she is much more popular than me."

As the heroine of "Xiuchundao 1", Liu Yifei is also paying attention to "Xiuchundao 2". Of course she has heard of Zhang Tianai's reputation as "cutting off the martial arts dream of domestic entertainment actresses with one sword".

Moreover, "Wolf Warrior 2" is so popular now that Zhang Tianai has been called the number one domestic entertainment actress at the box office by netizens, and her popularity is unparalleled for a while.

In her opinion, the other party is her strong competitor for the role of "Mulan".

Liu Yifei said this with the intention of testing. Gu Wei is Zhang Tianai's boss and must be aware of her work arrangements.

"Zhang Tianai can't do it. Although her temperament is suitable, language is a big problem.

Moreover, her fame is mainly in China, and few people know her abroad. Currently, the company’s plans for her do not include the project "Mulan"."

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head. Of course he knew what Liu Yifei meant and told her directly.

In fact, the audition for "Mulan" is no secret. Disney clearly stated its recruitment requirements for actors for the live-action version of "Mulan" on its official website.

First of all, this is an all-English movie, which requires actors to have a certain foundation in English; secondly, they must have martial arts skills; and finally, the image and temperament must be consistent, and Chinese Americans are preferred.

Zhang Tianai's English is at the level of an ordinary college student. He can speak a few simple sentences, but it is incomparable to Liu Yifei, who grew up in the United States.

Liu Yifei was relieved to hear what Gu Wei said. If Zhang Tianai did not participate, then she felt that her hopes were still high.

Among the current Chinese female celebrities, those who can fight are not as famous as her, and those who are famous do not have martial arts skills. No matter how you look at it, she is the most suitable.

"Gu Wei, come on, let's eat some fruit.

The grapes and strawberries I bought during the day tasted very good."

While the two were chatting, Liu Xiaoli came over with two plates of washed fruits and greeted Gu Wei warmly.

"Thank you, auntie, this grape is so sweet."

"Not so polite.

By the way, Gu Wei, can you come over tomorrow? Sissi has been in the capital recently and she is relatively free. If you are free, you can come over often.

Aren’t you going to collaborate on a movie at the end of the year? It’s a good time to communicate in advance.”

"Mom~ Why am I fine? I have to practice physical fitness and martial arts recently," Liu Yifei said dissatisfied.

"It's not like you practice from morning to night, you can still have Gu Wei busy!"

Liu Yifei looked helpless and speechless.

"Auntie, I have some work matters to deal with when I come back this time. I'm already busy today and I'm going back to the set for filming tomorrow.

I appreciate your kindness, and I will come to see you and Sissy when I have time next time." Gu Wei glanced at Liu Yifei with a smile, and then said to Liu Xiaoli.

"So anxious"

Gu Wei nodded.

"I just asked the crew for three days' leave and I have to go back tomorrow."

"Are you just here to attend the [Wolf Warrior 2] celebration party?" Liu Yifei asked casually after eating a grape.

"No, I'm back to deal with some recent company affairs, and I have to attend the financing signing ceremony of [ByteDance]. I was supposed to attend the cocktail party over there tonight, but if Sissi, you call me and say aunt invites me, I'll just take that I pushed it and came straight over.”

"It's just to save my face that you say that~"

"The main thing is that Auntie is so proud." Gu Wei added with a smile.

"Didn't [ByteDance] raise Series D just last year? It's less than a year ago, right?" Liu Xiaoli's focus is obviously different from Liu Yifei's.

"It didn't have to be so fast. The main reason is that the company is expanding and needs more capital injection.

[ByteDance] There are professional people in charge over there, I am just a shareholder who doesn’t care, I will come back and sign.”

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Currently [ByteDance] is well-known in the industry. With the completion of this E-round financing, it is estimated that there will be reports in the financial section of major media tomorrow.

"Isn't it the company that developed [Douyin]? You are still the spokesperson of that software.

I remember last year’s financing valuation was US$12 billion. It’s only been more than half a year. How much can the valuation increase? Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"It has doubled. This time it raised US$2 billion, and the post-financing valuation is US$26 billion."

Gu Wei said it in an understatement, but both Liu Yifei and her daughter took a deep breath.

It's not that they haven't seen the world before, but the figure of 26 billion US dollars is a bit exaggerated.

Let’s put it this way, the second place on Forbes China’s rich list in 2017 is Mr. Ma of Alibaba, with a personal wealth worth 188.9 billion, which is basically equivalent to the current valuation of [ByteDance].

Moreover, in just over half a year, the company's valuation has doubled. It is obvious that the future of money is bright, and US$26 billion will not be the end at all.

"This is rising too fast. The valuation has increased by 14 billion US dollars in 8 months, with an average increase of 1.75 billion per month, and a daily increase of 58.3 million US dollars, totaling 400 million yuan."

"Haha. Sister Yifei, your math is really good." Gu Wei praised with a smile.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

"I also use [Douyin] frequently. Is this short video software so profitable?"

“That’s not what you think. Not only [Douyin], but in fact all the current products of [ByteDance] are not profitable. But for Internet companies, the most important thing is users and traffic. [Douyin] is developing very rapidly. The number of users has increased dramatically in the past six months.

Now that an overseas version [Tik Tok] has been developed, it can be said that the future is bright.

Capital will not engage in loss-making transactions. Every penny they invest now is intended to be returned several times or even ten times in the future."

After Gu Wei explained, Liu Yifei shook her head.

“I understand what you are saying, but I still don’t understand why a company that makes short videos is worth so much money.

Compared with those working on the Internet, the money we earn from filming seems to be nothing."

After dinner, Gu Wei didn't stay too long at Liu Yifei's house. He sat for a while and then said goodbye.

At night, the villa area was very empty, and Liu Yifei sent Gu Wei out.

"Hey~ let me ask you a question." Liu Yifei walked with Gu Wei with her hands behind her back and her feet on her back, looking a little cute.

"What?"

"When we were chatting just now, why did you call me Qianxi?" She turned her head and looked at Gu Wei's face.

"Did I?"

"How not?"

Gu Wei scratched his head.

"Even if there is, your nickname is just Cixi. It shouldn't be a problem if I call you Qianqian."

"snort

I'm 5 years older than you. You've been calling me sister since we met. Now that you've become a big star and boss, you've changed to calling me by my nickname."

"Doesn't this show that we are close to each other?" Gu Wei's experience was that he could tell Liu Yifei didn't mean what he said as soon as he turned his eyes.

"Right, Sissy"

"You're still shouting?" Liu Yifei looked a little angry.

"Okay, then I won't shout anymore, Sissi."

Gu Wei left, and Liu Yifei returned home humming a song.

"Gu Wei is gone?" After entering the door, Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and asked.

"Ah, let's go, I'll take him to the car." Liu Yifei stepped to sit on the sofa, took a strawberry from the fruit plate on the coffee table and took a bite.

"Are you happy?"

"Huh? What are you happy about?" Liu Yifei asked casually while eating something in her mouth.

"Gu Wei, are you happy?" Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter with a smile.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't we already agree not to mention the matter between me and Gu Wei?" Only then did Liu Yifei react.

"I didn't say anything. I just asked you because you were in a good mood."

"Hmph~ That's what you meant anyway.

Also, you don’t have to be so polite to Gu Wei in the future, just be more casual.

We are just friends, and I have nothing to ask of him.”

"Okay, okay, I understand. We have to take care of our Sissi's self-esteem. We don't need to rely on anyone. We have the strength ourselves." Mother Liu coaxed her eldest daughter like a child.

"However, I have to say that this young man Gu Wei is getting better and better now."

"I'm not bad either!" After saying this, Liu Yifei felt a little guilty.

"It's not about comparing with Gu Wei, our pursuit is different."

Liu Xiaoli smiled.

"Yes, our Sissi is definitely excellent!

I have been preparing hard recently to get the chance to star in "Mulan", and I will be an international superstar by then! "

"It will be no problem!" Liu Yifei was full of fighting spirit.

The night is already dark, and a full moon hangs high in the night sky. The bright moonlight shines down, like covering the earth with a layer of silver gauze.

Liu Yifei, who had washed up and was ready to rest, was lying on her big bed, staring at the night outside the window in a daze.

This was not the first time she thought about how to get along with Gu Wei.

To be honest, I am really happy to be with Gu Wei. He exudes a charm from the inside out, always attracting me unconsciously.

And it's easy to be with him, there's never any burden.

She had wanted to take that step several times, but when she thought about Nazha, with whom she had a good relationship, Gu Wei's other ex-girlfriend Zhang Tianai, and various scandals, she would shrink back.

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, just let nature take its course. What's the use of me thinking about this alone?

It’s only right to work hard on filming

sleep"

After thinking for a while, Liu Yifei, who was a little impatient, covered her head with a quilt and simply imitated the ostrich.
