Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 346: Jiangcheng Trip

Li Qiutang and Xia Yu played in Qiong Island for three days and returned to Yanjing with dark circles on their faces.

The next day after returning to Yanjing, Xia Yu signed the actor contract for Da Jin Ya.

Li Qiutang said to Chen Guofu: "On behalf of the crew, I accompanied him to eat, drink, and play on Qiong Island. I almost accompanied him to sleep. I was the director for three times."

"You seem to be having a lot of fun yourself." Although Chen Guofu felt that it was risky for Li Qiutang to ask Xia Yu to play the role of Big Gold Teeth, it was not impossible to give it a try.

Liu Yifei returned to Yanjing from Shangdu that night.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei and Li Qiutang set out from Xiangshan Villa for the airport.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the three of them landed at Jiangcheng Tianhe Airport on time.

The front foot lands on the ground, and the back foot is on the table.

When the new son-in-law came to her house for the first time, Li Qiutang hadn't even recognized him yet before Liu Yifei's uncle, who worked in a bank, forced her to drink two glasses of wine.

"Thunder God in the sky, uncle on the earth. If you don't drink this glass of wine, I don't agree with you and Yifei." Li Qiutang was stunned by the fright. How dare he not drink this glass of wine?
"The old man is in poor health and can't drink. I'm toasting to you on their behalf."

"No, no, I'm toasting to my grandparents." He drank two more cups.

"You are a director, and I have seen your movies. Here is a glass of wine from me as a fan to you." How can this be possible?
"Okay," Liu Xiaoli advised, "I haven't even touched the food yet and you've already forced me to drink half a pound of it."

But Uncle Liu didn't listen and said, "How can a son-in-law from Jiangcheng not know how to drink? This is just a small thing."

Li Qiutang had no intention of staying up and leaving the table today, so he said, "I'll toast to my uncle." He tilted his head back and drank the glass.

My uncle is a bank executive and his only connection to the entertainment industry is that his niece is an actress. However, he also knows that Li Qiutang has his own film company and is doing quite well.

So I asked him: "Which bank does your company usually cooperate with?"

"Yanjing Bank and Shengjing Bank are close, after all." Speaking of work, he had something to say, "In the first few years when we were short of money, we really needed bank loans, but now we don't need them anymore." Now in autumn, there are abundant sources of funds, "but many times, either the credit director or the president calls and asks your company to help us complete the 3000 million task this month. Sometimes we can't refuse."

The son-in-law wanted to brag about his career, and Li Qiutang was no exception: "30 million is in my crew, I will burn it all for you in two months."

When it comes to work income, Liu Yifei and he play a double act: "How much did you get for your last play?"

"It just finished filming, and the company hasn't paid me yet. The next movie I filmed was for Xiao Ming, and I got 200 million as a token of my appreciation."

"Didn't he give you a Mercedes-Benz G later?" Liu Yifei said.

"I hadn't driven that car for two days before you stole it. It cost one million, five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand yuan."

"Hehe." Liu Yifei smiled embarrassedly.

Someone asked: "How much money can you make?"

Li Qiutang said: "It's really hard to calculate this specifically."

Liu Yifei cooperated: "You didn't shoot any movies last year, which was the time when you had the least time. How much did you earn last year?"

Liu Yifei's family laughed at her: "You don't know this either?"

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Their jobs are special, and it's hard for them to calculate their income every month like we do when we work."

Li Qiutang made a rough calculation and said, "Probably about 10 million but less than 20 million." That's about the level.

This income level should be enough to support Liu Yifei.

Today, almost all members of the Liu family are here, even my aunt who immigrated to Australia has returned.

Liu Yifei's grandfather drank a glass of wine stubbornly, saying that he was very happy that his grandson-in-law came to see him for the first time and he had to drink this glass of wine.

The old lady is from Northeast China, and she feels more familiar with Li Qiutang, and her Northeastern accent is still there.

The old and the young got along very well, and Li Qiutang made the old lady very happy.

Li Qiutang aroused the old lady's homesickness and she was no longer depressed. She said she wanted to eat Northeastern cuisine.

“The vegetables in Northeast China are tastier than those outside.”

"That's right. When I eat out, the meat is fine, it's pretty much the same, but the vegetables out there are just not as good as those in the Northeast. I always feel like the taste is not right."

The two also said that Northeastern rice tastes better than other rice.

"I want to cook for myself and only eat rice from our Northeast."

"You can cook?" the old lady was surprised.

"Yes, when I was a kid my parents were busy so I cooked by myself. I couldn't cook well but I could support myself by tinkering." Li Qiutang was modest, but Liu Yifei said: "His cooking is delicious, especially the three fresh vegetables and stewed pork elbow."

The old lady was delighted after hearing this.

Li Qiutang was tied to the wine table by the Liu family. If Liu Yifei hadn't exchanged her bowl with his, Li Qiutang would have eaten two mouthfuls of rice and would have gotten drunk even faster.

Li Qiutang was drunk, so Uncle Liu let him go.

"Look at you." Liu Xiaoli scolded him, "What era is it now? You're still forcing me to drink."

Uncle Liu had his reasons: "How can a new son-in-law not get drunk for the first time?"

Liu Yifei sat by the bed taking care of Li Qiutang and also joined in blaming her uncle.

Uncle Liu said, "A person's character can be seen from his drinking habits. This kid is a good drinker." He also drank so much that his face turned red and he staggered.

Liu Yifei stroked her boyfriend's chest: "Are you feeling better? Would you like some water?"

Li Qiutang was like a dead pig now, and could not hear what Liu Yifei was saying.

Li Qiutang got drunk, so the dinner was over.

Liu Yifei has agreed, why couldn't the Liu family disagree?
Today is just a formality.

Li Qiutang slept until 8 o'clock in the evening and was starving!

He wanted to wash up with a heavy head, but he didn't know anyone in Liu's house and didn't even know where the bathroom was.

Li Qiutang sat up slowly. After a while, Liu Yifei came in. Seeing that Li Qiutang had woken up, she hurried forward and asked, "How is it? Does your head still hurt?"

Li Qiutang hummed lightly.

"Are you hungry now?"

"Bring me a basin of water so I can wash my face."

Liu Yifei hurried to get some water, and Liu Xiaoli made him a cup of honey water.

"It's just this once in a lifetime. They won't embarrass you in the future."

"I know. I had no intention of leaving the table awake today."

After washing her face, Li Qiutang wanted to go to the bathroom. Liu Xiaoli said, "Xixi, hold on for a bit. I can't even walk steadily. Be careful not to fall in the bathroom."

After Liu Yifei helped Li Qiutang solve the problem, Li Qiutang was hungry again. He had hardly eaten anything at noon, so the mother and daughter started to prepare food for him.

Li Qiutang woke up. Three or five people from the Liu family came to see her and talked for a while, and that was it.

The next day, when we went to An's house, Liu Xiaoli refused to go.

An Shaokang rushed back from France specifically for this family dinner.

During the half day at the An family, Li Qiutang could clearly feel that it was different from being at the Liu family.

Liu Yifei is not close to the An family, not close to her grandparents, and not even close to her biological father An Shaokang.

Similarly, the An family was not close to her.

This meal was more like a formality than a formality.

Liu Yifei didn't feel comfortable here. Less than five minutes after finishing her meal, she said she wanted to leave.

The An family didn't even try to keep him.

It was obvious that Liu Yifei came just to show her courtesy: I found a boyfriend and brought him here for you to see.

As for whether the An family’s opinion is important or not, judging from the performance of Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, it is obvious that it is not important.

After staying in Jiangcheng for another day, the three returned to Yanjing.

It’s really that Liu Yifei is too busy with work. The popularity of "Pacific Rim" has given her a lot more work.

"Harper's Bazaar" has already confirmed that she will be on the cover of next year. The opening issue of the new year is so exaggerated that preparations begin half a year in advance.

There is still a lot of work waiting for Liu Yifei.
