Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 122 How about I pursue Yifei as my girlfriend?

Li Qiutang and her family left the Gold Coast on the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and planned to fly back to China from Sydney.

The Liu mother and daughter will stay in Australia for a few more days.

The two young people were fine, but the two mothers exchanged phone numbers out of mutual sympathy and said they would visit each other often in the future. Mother Li even said she would send Liu Xiaoli some specialties from Northeast China.

The Liu family mother and daughter saw the three members of the Li family off to the car at the hotel entrance. As they watched the taxi drive away, Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "They are a pretty nice family."

"Yes." replied the daughter.

"It's nice to have a lively and fun New Year." Liu Xiaoli added.

"Yes."

Liu Xiaoli hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "From now on, I will be the only one to accompany you. There will be no one of your age to play with you."

Liu Yifei would also coax her mother: "Mom is the best in the world, I don't want to play with him."

"I can see that you are not speaking from the heart. What's the fun in being with a middle-aged woman like me?" Liu Xiaoli didn't think much about the relationship between her daughter and Li Qiutang in recent days. They were just classmates meeting and playing together for a few days.

The mother and daughter returned to the hotel chatting and laughing.

On the other hand, it was not until they landed in Yanjing that evening that my mother told Li Qiutang: "Have dinner with Teacher Wu and the others tomorrow. They are all in Yanjing now."

"What?!" Li Qiutang was puzzled.

"It's the one I mentioned to you before the New Year. Teacher Wu from the building next door wants to introduce his niece to you. Her name is Yanyan. She's from Bincheng, but I forgot her last name."

"Didn't you push it?"

"Teacher Wu has already said this, saying that we should meet in Yanjing after the New Year. We have been neighbors for more than ten years, so we can't say anything."

Li's father said: "I have never seen a girl so eager to meet a boy."

Mother Li was more open-minded: "This shows that my son is excellent."

Father Li said, "Tomorrow you will have dinner with Teacher Wu. Girls, if you like each other, you can chat with her for a while. If not, it doesn't matter."

"Yes." Mother Li said, "Teacher Wu is also anxious. That girl was born in 86, two years younger than Qiu Tang. How could she be willing to go on a blind date at the age of 2? I guess she is also reluctant."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

In fact, Li’s parents were a little resistant to the idea of someone coming to them for a blind date.

Of course Li Qiutang didn't want to go on this marriage, but it was an arrangement made by her parents, and the other party had already arrived in Yanjing, so no matter how unwilling she was, she had to deal with it.

Near noon the next day, Li Qiutang and his family set out for their destination hotel.

Although he was the one being chosen, as the man, Mr. Li still bought a box of fine tea as a gift.

Although they were the ones who were chosen, the Li family, as the male party, still arrived at the hotel early. However, they did not expect that the introducer, Mr. Wu, and the girl's family arrived earlier than them.

Both parties greeted each other warmly and learned that the girl's surname was Jiang and she was doing business in Bincheng, and was very successful. Although not worth tens of millions or billions, it should be said that her assets were worth millions without any exaggeration.

The Jiang family is rich but they don't look down on middle-class families like the Li family. The Li family's parents are average, but their son is able to make money. Li Qiutang is also an only child, so it's a different story.

Jiang's parents had a good first impression of Li Qiutang, who was tall and handsome, so they called their daughter, "Yanyan, come here. You two were classmates, so maybe you knew each other before."

Jiang Yan was very generous and said with a smile: "I know him, but he may not know me."

This is true. Li Qiutang really doesn't know Jiang Yan. I've heard of her, and she became famous later.

Jiang Yan and Li Qiutang looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes - they didn't want to go on a blind date.

It's easy to deal with with such a consensus, it's just an ordinary dinner party.

Jiang Yan was from the 05 Vocational College of Acting class, so they were indeed classmates and had also started acting, so the two had something to talk about at the dinner.

Jiang's parents don't know much about the film and television industry. Jiang Yan said: "He is now the most popular director in the country. Countless people want to act in his plays."

"Your Qiutang is so capable. You have trained her well."

"We don't understand movies either. He figured it out on his own." The dinner gradually turned into the parents talking about their parents, Li Qiutang and Jiang Yan talking about their own things, and the two groups occasionally interrupting each other.

The two parents saw that their two children got along well and thought that this could be successful.

But in fact, Li Qiutang and Jiang Yan both knew that the other party did not want a blind date and did not like them today.

Jiang Yan is certainly a beautiful girl, but Li Qiutang doesn't like that.

Li Qiutang is certainly an excellent director, but Jiang Yan didn't like him either.

"Zhou Xun is really good at acting." Li Qiutang told Jiang Yan something that she, a newcomer, could not experience. "I can't say that she can do it in one take, but basically she can give you the best effect within three takes. Ordinary actors may not be able to keep up with her. You can see in Painted Skin that Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun's performances are obviously different from hers."

"Yes, yes, yes. I also think she acted so well in Painted Skin." Jiang Yan nodded in agreement.

"It's a little harder to shoot Xiao Ming." Even though she has worked with Xiao Ming twice, Li Qiutang still says this, "But he is a very good person, very cooperative, and takes good care of everyone."

Huang Xiaoming is such a nice person that Li Qiutang feels he shouldn't be in the entertainment industry.

The atmosphere of the meal was very good, with everyone talking and laughing. Li Qiutang and Jiang Yan also exchanged contact information, saying that they were both from Northeast China and could keep in touch and visit more often in Yanjing in the future.

The elders of the two families actually noticed that the two young people didn't get along with each other, but it was good for them to have a meal and make friends. Since both of them were working in the film and television industry, they could take care of each other in the future.

The two families parted ways after dinner, and Jiang Yan even joked, "I can brag in the future that I know Director Li Qiutang."

Li Qiutang said, "He's not a famous person, there's nothing to brag about."

"I'd like to ask Director Li to take care of me in the future, haha."

"You have to give me face and come when I invite you next time." Li Qiutang said this politely without hesitation.

Li Qiutang drove her parents back to the apartment. Along the way, she was listening to her parents talking while thinking about other things.

If it weren't for today's blind date, he wouldn't have remembered that he is 25 years old. Although not too old, he is indeed at the age to get married.

Li Qiutang now has a stable job and makes money, so it seems like it's time to consider getting married.

It may not be appropriate to talk about marriage, but it is probably the right time to have a girlfriend.

"You should also have a girlfriend. You are alone in Yanjing and traveling all over the country. A girlfriend can also take care of you for us." This is what my mother said.

"I'm looking for a girlfriend, not a babysitter."

"It's the same. It's good to have a companion." Dad sat in the back. "Your mom and I are still young. You don't have to worry about us. If you take care of your affairs, we will feel at ease at home."

"I think the Yanyan just now is good. Her looks, height, way of speaking are all good, and her parents are reasonable, too." said mother Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"It's obvious from the first glance that the girl isn't here for a blind date, she's here to get by."

"Who says it's not?" But Li Qiutang is still young after all, and marriage is not yet a concern for her parents. Mother Li suddenly said, "I like Yifei."

Father Li poured cold water on her and said, "We can't support a girl like that in our family."

Mother Li nodded: "Yes, it's very beautiful."

Liu Yifei is certainly kind and generous, but her appearance and temperament give people a sense of alienation: such a woman can only be married home to be provided for, she will not take care of the family and is not suitable for living at home.

When Li Qiutang's parents talked about Liu Yifei, she couldn't help but recall the time they spent together with her on the Gold Coast.

She got drunk in her own bed; she rode a jet ski with herself; and she went to the Warner Bros. Movie World theme park with herself.

These memories are all beautiful.

Thinking of this, Li Qiutang felt itchy and warm inside.

I think I'm a little bit in love with Liu Yifei.

Although her parents thought Liu Yifei was not suitable for living at home, Li Qiutang still said:
"Mom, how about I pursue Yifei as my girlfriend?"
