The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

The banquet began. The hall was elegantly decorated, combining Chinese and Western elements, with a harmonious atmosphere and rich and tempting dishes. This Four Seasons Hotel is a five-star hotel and is also owned by the Zhang family. It usually specializes in Cantonese cuisine. Today, the host family is having a good time, so the kitchen staff was even more excited and served delicious dishes in a continuous stream.

The Zhangs are from Guangdong, so the first dish must be the traditional soup. Everyone praised it while drinking. Steamed grouper, baked lobster in soup, Dongjiang salt-baked chicken, Ayi abalone, and homemade Chaozhou stewed food, all have authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. Gradually, people stood up to toast. Fu Yanheng also greeted Mrs. Zhang on behalf of the entire Fu family.

Fu Yanheng could drink a lot, and what's more, he was drinking red and white wine today, so Lu Qing didn't worry that her husband would get drunk. Lu Qing was also a good drinker, but she never showed it outside, and only drank some iced white wine.

During the dinner, director Jiang Zhouzheng and his screenwriter Xian Shengyuan both talked about the deeds of Zhang Qingsen, the late old man of the Zhang family, and praised him endlessly. Lu Qing thought, although Jiang Zhouzheng is also a wealthy man in the film and television industry in the city, he has never been heard to be close to the Zhang family before. Xian Shengyuan has a prominent position in the literary world, but it is a bit unusual for the Zhang family to invite him and sit at the main table. In addition, the two were talking about old man Zhang Qingsen, and Lu Qing vaguely felt that this matter might be related to filming.

Zhang Songnian's father, Zhang Qingsen, was a famous patriotic overseas Chinese in the UK, and the Zhang family was always present in all major events.

Before liberation, young Zhang Qingsen had supported progressive people in China from Britain, giving them money and goods. The most admirable story was that he once transported a large amount of penicillin, then known as penicillin, into China through Zhang's freight company at great risk and donated it to the front line free of charge. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he actively prepared to establish the Patriotic Merchants Association to cooperate with the development of the motherland. After the reform and opening up, the Zhang family was the first batch of businessmen to return to China to invest and develop.

Lu Qing was thinking, if the filming was true, how could the Fu family get involved in it? I couldn't sit at the main table for nothing today.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing picked up the wine glass and said to Zhang Songnian, "I have heard my parents-in-law tell the story of Zhang's grandfather many times. The whole Fu family admires him very much. Just the matter of transporting penicillin is amazing. Yan Heng said last time that it would be great if it could be made into a movie." After saying that, she glanced at Fu Yanheng.

Fu Yanheng immediately understood and said, "That's right, uncle. My father often taught us sisters and brothers to learn from Grandpa Zhang and be patriotic businessmen. If it can be made into a film or TV work, it will be the best education for today's young people."

Zhang Songnian was satisfied. He nodded and smiled, saying, "Thank you all for remembering my father! I will invite the Fu family's elder brother and sister-in-law separately some other day! Today, I am not afraid to tell you all that it has always been my wish to make a movie for my father, but I have to trouble the great director!" After that, he patted Director Jiang on the shoulder.

Jiang Zhouzheng immediately said, "This is my honor. There is no point in making commercial films over and over again. It is a blessing for all of us directors to be able to make a meaningful film."

After hearing this, Lu Qing understood that this was about 80% true. Therefore, while eating, she slowly asked Mrs. Zhang about some details about Zhang Qingsen and his wife's life.

The waiter brought a plate of peony shrimps. Lu Qing remembered that Mrs. Zhang loved to eat them, so she looked at Fu Yanheng. Fu Yanheng himself didn't know why, but he immediately understood what Lu Qing meant.

He asked the waiter for a clean plate, peeled two shrimps with a clean knife and fork and sent them to Mrs. Zhang. Later, he peeled shrimps for all the female guests at the table in the same way.

Mrs. Zhang said happily, "I'm sorry to bother you, my dear nephew!" The female guests at the banquet were all smiling and praising Fu Yanheng for being a gentleman who studied in England. They also praised Lu Qing and Fu Yanheng for their good looks. Mrs. Zhang said to Lu Qing, "I have watched Yanheng grow up since he was a child. He is well-educated, has a good family background, is handsome, and most importantly, has good character. He was so fun when he was a child."

Everyone was silent for a moment and listened to Mrs. Zhang. "I still remember when he was seven or eight years old, he followed Mr. Fu to our old house to play, the old house on Qingyuan Road. The adults were talking about things, and he was playing in the backyard. Somehow, he found a kitten trapped in a tree and couldn't get down, so he had the courage to climb up and save the cat. As a result, both the man and the cat fell down. The cat was fine, but Yan Heng couldn't get out of bed for three days!"

Everyone laughed again. Zhang Songnian said, "Some of the trees in our old house were very tall. We were really scared that time. The first thing Yan Heng did when he woke up was to ask how the cat was. I knew at that time that this kid was right!"

Lu Qing looked at her husband with a smile, the scene of the little boy bravely saving the cat came to her mind. She was a little moved, and her heart couldn't help but feel more tender.

After the meal, some reporters came to take pictures. Before the banquet, a group photo of the guests had been taken. The reporters who came now were writing articles for the magazine's internal publication. The guests at the main table also had to accept brief interviews.

After the banquet, everyone went home. The entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel was crowded with luxury cars, handsome men and beautiful women, and the lively atmosphere was like the Lantern Festival. When Fu Yanheng and his wife finished the interview and left, Fu Yuanji and his wife had already left.

Fu's mansion. Lu Qing's bedroom. Lu Qing took off her makeup while listening to Fu Yanheng's speech. "What do you think we can do to participate in this matter?"

Lu Qing replied, "You know, I'm in charge of the planning department now, and I also have an agency. I've signed a few new people. I saw the report from their department and they're planning to sign Zhao Xinzhi."

"You plan to let Zhao Xinzhi play the role? Will the director agree?"

"I also asked about it during dinner. We haven't reached the casting stage yet, and the script is still being prepared. Zhang Qingsen's wife, Zhang Xia Yunzhu, whose name was Xia Yunzhu before marriage, plays a very important role. I have some ideas, but whether it will work depends on the subsequent operations. The signing fee we gave is the market price, which is not low. If we use this movie as a condition, Zhao Xinzhi may agree. And our economic company can also get on the right track through this. After all, it won't work without big stars to support the scene."

Fu Yanheng nodded, "I support you. If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me! Lu Qing, you have been working so hard for the Fu family, and everyone has seen it. Thank you so much."

Lu Qing smiled, "We're a family, so don't be polite. I'm thanking you on behalf of the kitten. I'm happy when I see the kitten. Sometimes I feel like I might have been a cat in my previous life. It's only right for me to thank you for saving my life on its behalf."

Fu Yanheng laughed and said, "I couldn't keep up with math for a while, and my dad always suspected that I had damaged my brain after the fall."

Fu's West Wing. Gan Meng took off her earrings in a bad mood, "What does sister-in-law want to do?! She didn't even ask for permission before buying a gift. She bought some brocade on her own. It's so rustic and looks like a country bumpkin. Zhang Songnian's wife likes it, but she seems to be a country bumpkin too."

"Then what did you give? How much was it?" Fu Yuanji asked.

"The earrings I gave you are from a famous brand. They must have been worth 10,000 yuan as a gift from someone else last Christmas."

"Sister-in-law's Yunjin must have a zero!"

"What? A shabby shawl like that? That's crazy, why would she give me something so expensive?"

"When you give a gift to someone, you must have something to ask for. Just wait and see. She must have some plan. This sister-in-law originally seemed to be a low-key person. The old man only asked her to be a planning manager, so she had to take care of the publicity. Who asked her to be so scheming in everything?"

"Isn't it?! But don't worry, I think she is just a woman with a delicate mind, she doesn't have any great abilities."

"I hope so! The eldest brother refused to get married, which made dad angry. I was thinking that he had no hope of becoming the heir, but who would have thought that he would marry Lin Luqing! It would be troublesome if he gave birth to another boy or girl."

"That's easy. Even if she gets pregnant, I have a way to prevent her from giving birth!"

It was late at night, and only the gatehouse in the mansion halfway up the mountain was still lit. The moon came out, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on the world, soothing every peaceful or restless soul.
