Chapter 219 217. The "surprise" given by Beauty Chen

It's not far from Yangcheng to Xiangjiang. It's more than 100 kilometers away and can be reached in two hours by car.

Chen Li'an was scolded by Qiao Linmu for coming to Xiangjiang so late, but Chen Li'an was so thick-skinned that he didn't care at all.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Li'an came out of the pass, followed by Li Dabai, looking excitedly at the night view of Hong Kong.

"Teacher Chen, can you stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days this time?" Li Dabai couldn't help but said while looking at the tall buildings in the distance.

Chen Li'an glanced around outside the gate, then turned back to Li Dabai and said, "We don't have that much time. There are still many things to do in the capital."

"Oh fine."

Li Dabai also knows that Chen Li'an has been busy recently, and it is not easy to find time to come to Xiangjiang this time.

Chen Li'an saw Wang Zuxian waving to him outside, turned around and said to Li Dabai: "I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Will you go out to play by yourself, or will you follow me?"

"Follow you!" Li Dabai said immediately. He was unfamiliar with the place and had watched many Hong Kong gangster movies, so he was still a little scared.

Chen Li'an hummed and said, "Let's go then."

Wang Zuxian saw Chen Li'an approaching and was about to run over and give him a hug when she noticed that there was a woman following him, and her pace immediately slowed down.

Li Dabai noticed this scene and carefully shrank behind Chen Li'an, fearing that the imperial concubine would misunderstand her. No one would support her when the queen was away.

Chen Li'an quickly walked up to Wang Zuxian, put his arms around her waist and said, "What's wrong with you? You're not happy to see me at all?"

Wang Zuxian glanced behind Chen Li'an, then looked at Chen Li'an again, and whispered: "Who is she?"

Chen Li'an smiled and couldn't help but laugh at Wang Zuxian's jealous look: "Are you jealous? She is my assistant, Li Dabai."

Seeing Chen Li'an teasing her, Wang Zuxian pinched his waist angrily and said, "You didn't tell me in advance. With your temper, who knows whether she is your assistant or not."

Li Dabai, who heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but interject in a low voice: "I am really Teacher Chen's assistant."

Seeing someone nearby, Wang Zuxian didn't care about Chen Li'an, turned to look at Li Dabai and said, "Hello, Dabai."

Li Dabai saw Wang Zuxian talking very well and said with some excitement: "Hello! I am your fan, I like you very much!"

She especially liked A Chinese Ghost Story played by Wang Zuxian, it was so beautiful!

Wang Zuxian took a look at Li Dabai. She was a young girl, and she was also a fan of her own movies. The vigilance in her heart immediately dissipated a lot. Based on her understanding of Chen Li'an, he didn't like little girls, but only liked mature women.

Wang Zuxian asked in a low voice in Chen Li'an's ear: "What will she do that night?"

"Let her go to the hotel by herself."

Li Dabai: "." He was abandoned again! The name Dabai is really bad, just like the light bulb!

But after two days off, I was able to take a walk around Hong Kong! I want to check out the scenes in the movie!

In Wang Zuxian's villa, Chen Li'an looked at her while eating a late-night snack and asked: "How do you feel about going to school recently?"

"It's very good. Although there are not many courses, they are quite fulfilling." Wang Zuxian said with a smile, and then ran to his room happily, took out a few books and put them in front of Chen Li'an and said: "Look, this It’s my textbook, and now I’m learning about the European Renaissance.”

Chen Li'an looked at the art history theory in front of him and flipped it open. He saw many underlined places on it. It seemed that Wang Zuxian was studying very seriously.

After reading for a while, Chen Li'an closed the book and asked, "Do you really plan to collect art in the future?"

"Well, I'm not short of money. I've made a lot of money in the property market recently." Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Li'an and said, "If I become a famous art collector in the future, I will definitely buy back all your works!"

Chen Li'an held back his smile and said, "Then you probably won't make enough money from the property market."

"Then you won't sell it to me cheaper." Wang Zuxian hugged Chen Li'an's arm and said, "I don't want to film now. I have to find something to do. I can't be a housewife."

"Then you are the most beautiful housewife!"

Wang Zuxian snorted and said, "Of course!"

Chen Li'an smiled, put down his chopsticks and said, "I've finished eating. What's the next show?"

"Take a shower and sleep!"

"oh"

After a while, the sound of water splashing was heard in the bathroom. In the steaming bathtub, Chen Li'an held Wang Zuxian's ankle and gently pinched her round and lovely toes. These were once rated as the most beautiful feet in the world.

In the movie Green Snake, Wang Zuxian fully displayed her beauty, and Chen Li'an was deeply impressed by many of the scenes.

Old Monster Xu is also good at photographing beauties.

Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Li'an with somewhat confused eyes. Her little feet were unusually flexible. Seeing Chen Li'an enjoying herself, she couldn't help but speed up.

I just liked watching him hum. Only at this time did Wang Zuxian feel that he had conquered Chen Li'an, but in the next time, he could only feel the feeling of being conquered.

Time and time again. Wang Zuxian didn't know how many pairs of her stockings were damaged. It seemed that she would buy more next time.

The next day Chen Li'an got up from the bed, looked at the torn stockings on the carpet, and then glanced at Wang Zuxian who was still sleeping soundly. He leaned over to untie the stockings from her wrists and ankles, and admired them for a while. The beautiful feet that glowed in the sun woke up Wang Zuxian from a deep sleep.

Chen Li'an has always been greedy for beauty, and it is by no means a perverted lust. This is a devout belief in art!

Chen Li'an took the time to come to Xiangjiang this time not just to appreciate the beauty, but also to do business.

In a tea restaurant in Central, Chen Li'an and Wang Zuxian met Cheng Shufen, but the atmosphere among the few chatting was not very good.

"Li'an, the company's attitude is now very clear. We can only temporarily postpone your art space for a while." Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an apologetically.

Chen Li'an took a sip of the frozen lemon tea but showed no reaction. He looked at Cheng Shufen and said, "How long will the delay be? If it takes too long, I will do it myself."

"This won't take long. It will be in March next year at the latest. The company's budget for this year is indeed small." Cheng Shufen explained.

Chen Li'an nodded, and after wiping out all the pineapple buns on the plate, he said, "Sister Shufen, you know that's why I signed the contract."

Cheng Shufen sighed and said: "Well, the company's shareholders believe in the influence and appeal of Xueyou more, and I will try my best to fight for it."

"It doesn't matter. I don't mean to blame Sister Shufen. When doing business, you have to consider risks and rewards." Chen Li'an wiped his mouth and said, "It's just that I can't continue to wait."

"Do you want to terminate the contract?" Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an nodded and then shook his head and said: "That's right. Since the company has no money, then we can just pay for it ourselves. But the contract needs to be changed. I will pay and the company will help me operate it. Naturally, the share will also have to be changed."

Speaking of this, Chen Li'an smiled and said: "Actually, if I didn't have so many professional people and experience, I would have done it myself."

"I'll vote!" Wang Zuxian also interrupted, looked at Chen Li'an and said with a smile: "Just treat it as my extracurricular project!"

Chen Li'an patted Wang Zuxian under the table, looked at Cheng Shufen and asked, "What do you think, Sister Shufen? The company doesn't have to pay so much, it just needs to be responsible for the operation."

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and was silent for a while and said, "Li'an, how about this? I will personally invest part of it. I am very optimistic about this project."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "Of course I welcome Sister Shufen's investment, but aren't Sister Shufen afraid of losing money?"

"Don't be afraid." Cheng Shufen paused and said, "I know your plan best. It's impossible to lose money unless you mess around!"

Wang Zuxian looked at Cheng Shufen curiously and asked, "Then why is the company unwilling to start this project now?"

"I think I have no influence now." Chen Li'an took the initiative to analyze: "Feng Yue's box office in Xiangjiang this month is not good. Christ in Nanjing has not been released yet and is too niche for the arts. I have no influence in Xiangjiang."

"Feng Yue" has been released for many days, but the box office is very poor, and the reputation is even worse. The media in Hong Kong even said that "Feng Yue" was director Cheng's crazy work after winning the Palme d'Or.

Although the box office reputation was not good, Chen Li'an, the second male lead, did not attract much attention, but many people still remembered Chen Li'an.

A mainland actor who starred in two movies with Zhang Guorong, he is handsome and much better looking than the newcomers who were praised in Zhang Guorong's other two movies.

Chen Xiaochun: "Isn't the pheasant I played handsome?"

Cheng Shufen heard what Chen Li'an said, nodded and said, "There are indeed reasons for this, but the most important thing is that the company's budget this year is really not enough."

Chen Li'an didn't care whether what Cheng Shufen said was true or false, he just smiled and said: "In this case, let's change the cooperation method. I hope Sister Shufen will renegotiate with the company. If the company is not willing, then it can only terminate the contract. "

"I can make the decision on this." Cheng Shufen said directly, then looked at Chen Li'an and said, "But Li'an, have you thought about how to build the first art space?"

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "I've thought about it. I've been imagining it for a long time, and I'm just waiting to move it from my mind to reality."

"Okay! Then I will prepare the contract again now."

After coming out of the tea restaurant, Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian and said: "Actually, this project is just an attempt of mine. There is no need for you to participate. Strictly speaking, it is not about making art, but about downgrading art and commercializing art. Just like luxury goods now, the trend is the degradation of art.”

Wang Zuxian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I also like to make money. Don't you look down on me for making little money in the real estate market? I just want to make a lot of money with you."

"I'm very stressed when you say that." Chen Li'an smiled and put his arm around Wang Zuxian's waist. He didn't care if someone would take photos secretly. He looked at her seriously and said, "But I will definitely make you a rich little woman!"

Wang Zuxian panicked a little, fearing that she would be secretly photographed by paparazzi again and become the target of ridicule in magazines.

But looking at Chen Li'an's affectionate and serious look, he simply didn't care so much. He hugged him and said, "If I have to pay for it, I will become a housewife, but you have to pay yourself to me."

"I can compensate you now. I can't afford the rent, housekeeper. Can I pay the rent with my own body?"

"Hmph. Let's see how you behave!"

Chen Li'an stayed in Xiangjiang for another two days. After re-settling the cooperation, he left a sum of money for Wang Zuxian and returned to the mainland.

After sending Chen Li'an through customs, Wang Zuxian went to find Cheng Shufen, and the two women began to get busy with the money they had paid.

According to Chen Li'an's requirements, we started to select a site, make the most basic renovations, and find qualified manufacturers for inspection. In short, we were very busy.

On the plane flying to the capital, Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai, who was transformed into a Hong Kong sister, and couldn't help but praise: "You have changed a lot in the past two days."

Li Dabai gently shook his long hair and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Teacher Chen, do you think my hairstyle looks good?"

"Not bad, much better than that big wave you had last year."

"."

Big waves were a popular hairstyle in Beijing last year. Li Dabai was a little depressed. Chen Li'an always disliked her big waves at that time, but she obviously changed them later.

After returning to the capital, Chen Li'an received a call from Feng Xiaoning, and Red River Valley was officially scheduled to be released on July 20th.

There is less than a month to go and the promotion will begin soon.

It was a rush at this time. After Chen Li'an hung up the phone, he felt that he would be extremely busy in the next two months.

I have to hold a film festival, participate in the promotion of the Red River Valley, go to the United States to hold an exhibition, and participate in the Christian promotion in Nanjing.

When Chen Li'an had a headache, Chen Meiren's call also came. There was something at the advertising company that Chen Li'an needed to go to.

The advertising business is now on track, and film and television investment has not fallen behind, but now the company is almost running out of money.

I don’t know if it was because he walked around Yangcheng and shouted the slogan of two billion. When Chen Li’an returned to the capital and talked with Chen Meiren about investing millions in TV series, it always felt like a child playing house.

Chen Meiren couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you look down on this small amount of money?"

"How could it happen? I'm so poor that I can hardly afford a house." Chen Li'an said lazily while lying on Chen Meiren's big white legs.

He has become a bit fond of knee pillows recently and really enjoys the feeling.

Beauty Chen pinched Chen Li'an's earlobe with her little hand and asked curiously: "Why do you want to buy a house again?"

"Uh, investment," Chen Li'an explained casually.

Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an suspiciously, turned Chen Li'an's face and looked condescendingly into his eyes and asked, "Aren't you going to buy a house and raise a woman?!"

"How is that possible?" Chen Li'an said without changing his expression: "Do I have that kind of character? It's okay for others to support me."

"That's true." Chen Meiren nodded, and then realized that she had been led astray by Chen Li'an. She hit him angrily and said, "You have led me astray again. Do you want to agree to Zhang Guoli's conditions? "

"Yes, I'll give him dividends but no salary." Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "But we have to control the degree and don't agree so easily, and the contract must be signed well, and the copyright and specific collaborations must be clearly stated. .”

Chen Meiren nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I understand. The drama that was previously cast for the National Center for the Performing Arts has now been launched. The male lead is Huang Lei, or your teacher."

Chen Li'an snorted and said, "I'm not familiar with him and have never taken his class."

"You haven't even attended a few classes, but Huang Lei complained to me about you on the set."

"He is so idle that he starts talking nonsense at such a young age."

After chatting for a while, Chen Meiren talked about the advertisements and said excitedly to Chen Li'an: "I have accepted several advertisements recently, and they were all introduced by friends. My second uncle also introduced two to me, but there were no Negotiated."

Chen Li'an asked curiously: "Print or TV advertisement?"

"They are all there, just wait for me to show them to you!" Chen Meiren ran to the next room excitedly.

Chen Li'an, who had lost his knee pillow, sat up. After Chen Meiren ran back, he put an advertisement in the VCD and was shocked by the content of the advertisement.

"What a good shot!" Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an excitedly, looking forward to his praise.

Chen Li'an was silent for a while and then said: "Whose advertising idea is this? You can turn around and get rid of him."

Beauty Chen said unconvinced: "Why? Party A likes this advertisement very much, and this little girl is so approachable."

Chen Li'an looked at the model on TV wearing colorful hairpins, wearing a pink dress and holding a small bun with an exaggerated expression. He really didn't understand why Party A liked it.

Chen Li'an sighed and said: "Maybe my aesthetic appreciation is not suitable for this kind of advertisement, but this model is indeed pretty good. I remember her advertisements seemed to be shown on TV."

Chen Meiren nodded and said, "Yes, this little girl has filmed several commercials. The ice cream commercial on TV these days was filmed by her."

"Why does it look familiar?" Chen Li'an took another careful look and recognized who the model was.

Isn’t this a big dollar!

But at this time, Da Meiyuan is so young and has no charm at all. The accurate description is that it is not moist at all, and a woman should be more mature and look better.

I didn’t expect that Beauty Chen would still be able to find a lot of dollars by filming an advertisement. It was such an unexpected gain. It was a small surprise.

Chen Meiren didn't know what Chen Li'an was thinking. She looked at the young Gao Yuanyuan on TV and said, "This little girl is only a teenager, but she has no stage fright at all. She is very good."

"Then just sign it. The advertising company must have its own models to work with. If you find more models, you can join the crew for filming in the future and switch to a film and television agency." Chen Li'an said casually.

Chen Meiren was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and found that it seemed possible. There is no professional agency in mainland China yet. She also shoots advertisements and invests in film and television dramas. She really can sign more advertising models, and she can also sign actors in the future. .

The resources were put to use immediately. Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an excitedly and said: "Husband, your idea is really good! I will sign her back later!"

"For diversified development, take it one step at a time. When you have the foundation in the future, you can make your own." Chen Li'an hugged Chen Meiren and said with a smile.

Chen Meiren hummed, feeling Chen Li'an's restless hands, her eyes were mist-filled, and she looked at him passionately.

It has been more than three months now, and the dangerous period has passed. However, Chen Meiren is now a little confused about how to confess her pregnancy.

She was suddenly a little worried about Chen Li'an's reaction.

What if Chen Li'an doesn't want it, or is angry that he didn't tell him in advance?

It would be better to talk to the second uncle first, which would be safer. Looking at Chen Li'an who had already picked her up and walked to the bedroom, Chen Meiren felt that she might not have the chance to find her parents first.

If you don't say anything, you will be hit hard, and the child will be hit and killed. Please confess now!

After Chen Li'an put herself on the bed, Chen Meiren raised her legs to resist Chen Li'an who was about to pounce. She lightly rubbed his chest with her toes. She looked at him with charming eyes and said softly: "Husband, I I have a surprise gift for you."

Chen Li'an held Mei Chen's little feet, thinking that she was going to play another trick, so he asked curiously: "What's the surprise?"

Seeing Chen Li'an's expectant look, Chen Meiren mustered up the courage to say directly: "I'm pregnant!"

Suddenly, Beauty Chen's feet slipped directly from Chen Li'an's hands and fell onto the bed.

Chen Li'an rubbed his eyes and looked at Beauty Chen and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

I didn't hear why you were rubbing your eyes. Beauty Chen shrank back and looked at Chen Li'an and whispered: "I'm three months and twenty days pregnant."

Looking at the cautious Chen Meiren, Chen Li'an took a deep breath and finally heard what she said clearly this time.

You care about this fucking surprise? !

As expected of you! Chen Meiren, you are a cruel person!

Chen Li'an sat on the stool at the end of the bed and watched Beauty Chen remain silent for a long time. It was difficult to describe his current mood. It was hard to tell whether he was surprised or frightened.

Looking at the silent Chen Li'an, Chen Meiren thought he was angry, so she gently poked Chen Li'an's hand with her toes and whispered, "Husband, are you angry?"

angry? Chen Li'an was indeed a little angry when he heard it at first, but now he couldn't get angry. He turned to look at Meiren Chen and said, "Is it accidental or intentional?"

Chen Meiren pursed her lips and said, "Deliberately. Accidentally."

Chen Li'an suddenly thought that when he came here a few times before, Chen Meiren would always avoid him intentionally or unintentionally. It should still be a dangerous period at that time.

You can really hide things. Chen Li'an glanced at Meiren Chen with admiration and asked, "What do you want to do now?"

"Aren't you angry?" Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an's calm eyes, a little unsure whether he was too frightened.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said: "Why are you angry, but it's quite a 'surprise'!"

Seeing that Chen Li'an was not angry, Chen Meiren immediately came over to hug him and said, "You scared me to death. I thought you didn't want children."

"Then you're telling me now because you're worried that I don't want it?" Chen Li'an turned to look at Beauty Chen, held her waist and asked, "So you want to force the marriage?"

Chen Meiren wanted to answer yes, but she suddenly felt a little scared when she saw Chen Li'an's overly calm eyes.

How could this be the reaction? No surprise, no pleasant surprise, no fright. What on earth was he thinking? Chen Meiren's heart really started to tremble.

But after struggling for a while, he still asked: "Then will you agree to my forced marriage?"
