I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

The call was a greeting call from the agent.

Although she became a big star, Luan Xiaolin didn't have many friends around her. Her former classmates and friends were basically cut off due to status barriers.

It is even more difficult for artists to become friends, and they are more likely to fight openly and secretly.

Apart from Li Zhe, the only people closest to Luan Xiaolin are her agent and assistant.

Assistant Zheng Hui has been with her for almost three years, and the relationship between the two is really good, like sisters.

After hanging up the phone, Luan Xiaolin pulled up her chair and sat down at the desk. She took out the script of "Super Body" from the drawer and flipped through it.

Quku Entertainment is expected to go public in the next two to three years, Fahrenheit was listed last year, and Guangxian is about to go public. As one of the largest private entertainment companies in the country, it is natural to put the listing on the agenda.

Only by raising a large amount of funds through listing can we further promote the development of the company and realize the industrialization of films.

The chemical industry costs money, and so does film industrialization, which requires high investment, large production, high output, standardization, and processization.

Qudong Group is not without money, but burning its own money is not as safe as burning the money of shareholders.

Compared with de-filming everything, making large sums of money to benefit the people and enriching private interests, and making a big dent in the fortunes of stock investors, Quku Entertainment is at least focusing on making movies and TV shows.

Speaking of which, Fahrenheit is also really good at tricking investors into tricking Penguin, and after tricking Penguin into tricking Ahri.

In order to cope with the listing plan, Quku Entertainment has established nearly forty projects including movies, animated films, TV series, and online series as its development plan for this year and next.

"Star You", "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", "Soul Ferry", "That Year in a Hurry", "Wuxin Master", "Source Code", "Big Shot", "Pacific Rim 2", "Along with the Gods", "When" When Men Are in Love", "Angry Birds" and more.

During the period before and after the Chinese New Year, artists under Quku Entertainment are busy competing for resources.

As the first sister of the company, Luan Xiaolin got several top-notch resources without having to fight for them at all.

"Witch 2", "Super Body", "Thieves", "Along with the Gods".

In particular, "Along with the Gods" is Quku Entertainment's first top-notch blockbuster produced with industrial standards. It is expected to invest 200 million and take two to three years.

Her resources are so good that other artists in the company are jealous to the extreme.

Liu Yufei has only received two major productions, and they are all TV series.

"Star You", "Three Lives Three Worlds".

The only movies available are "Pacific Rim 2" and "Source Code."

She still didn't star in "Pacific Rim 2," and "Source Code" was just a low-budget pseudo-sci-fi film.

Nini, Naza, and Zhao Yuhuan each received two or three movies and TV series.

Among newcomers like Zhang Jiao, Zhang Li, Leng Ba, and Zhang Yuxi, the one with the best resources is not Shu Xu Dan, who has the closest relationship with Li Zhe, but Zhao Xiaodao.

"Flower Thousand Bones", "Chef Fang", "Wuxin Master", etc., she has won five or six dramas by herself.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the company is preparing to favor her.

Luan Xiaolin flipped through a few pages and put down the script.

The film "Super Body" will not start filming until next year (2012). This year she only has one film, "Thieves".

She is a regular guest on "Running Man". Recording the show takes up a lot of time, so she doesn't have much time to take on roles. She only has one movie a year.

The company also positions her for the big screen and will basically not arrange any more TV series for her.

"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Linlin!"

"Mom, come in!"

Luan's mother opened the door and walked in. She looked at her daughter and said, "Have you finished making the phone call?"

She also saw that Luan Xiaolin was unwilling to deal with those relatives and friends.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Luan Xiaolin asked.

"Linlin, what do you think of that Wu Zhihao?"

"Mom, you're not going to introduce me to a partner, are you? I'm a celebrity. How can a celebrity get married too early?"

"I just think that Wu Zhihao's conditions are really good. He is tall and handsome, and he is a top student in a prestigious overseas school. His family is also in good condition." Luan's mother showed a pity expression on her face.

"Linlin, when are you going to get married?"

"It must be more than thirty anyway." Luan Xiaolin said casually.

marry? She never thought about getting married.

"More than thirty?" Luan's mother couldn't help raising her voice.

"It's too late then. Your dad and I are still waiting to have our grandson!"

"Mom, why don't you and my dad work harder and get me a younger brother?"

"What are you kidding about? Your dad and I are both over forty."

"What's wrong with being over 40? There is a female star in our industry whose mother gave birth to a younger brother when she was in her 40s."

Luan Xiaolin didn't say a word. Many people rumored that this child was the daughter of that female star...

…

The mother and daughter joked for a while, and Luan's mother suddenly said: "Linlin, are you in love?"

Luan Xiaolin was caught off guard by the question and couldn't help but be stunned, her expression a little unnatural.

Fortunately, she is an actress, and her expression quickly returned to normal.

"No, I am so busy now that I don't have time to fall in love, and I don't plan to fall in love too soon."

"No?" Luan's mother carefully observed Luan Xiaolin's expression.

Mo Ruomu, a close friend, felt that her daughter was definitely hiding something from them.

"Linlin, I know that your celebrity relationships are private and cannot be made public, but you can't even hide it from your dad and me, right?"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Mom, I didn't hide it from you and my dad on purpose, but his identity is a bit sensitive."

"Then who is he?"

"It's Li Zhe."

"Li Zhe? Who is Li Zhe...ah, the big boss of your company, the Li Zhe who is worth more than 20 billion?"

"Well, that's him, but..."

"But what?"

"He's more than just my girlfriend."

…

Mother and daughter Zhang Wenjun, Liu Yufei didn't stay long, and left one after another after sitting for a while.

Li's mother and Li Zhe sent Liu Yufei and Liu's mother to the gate of the villa together.

When Liu Yufei and Liu's mother got into the Mercedes-Benz G and left, Li's mother and the others looked at Li Zhe.

Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qian both admired their second brother so much that even Liu Yufei could catch him.

Just now, Liu Yufei and Liu's mother acted as if they were relatives bringing their daughter to the house.

Although Zhou Ziyu and Wang Zhining are not worse in appearance than Liu Yufei, Zhou Ziyu is even better.

But Liu Yufei is a well-known star, and with the added aura of stardom, it is even more shocking, especially for girls like Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qian who grew up watching Liu Yufei's dramas.

Li Zhipeng's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. There were few young people in this period who were not interested in Liu Yufei.

Just because she was the earliest heroine in domestic entertainment novels, it is evident that people are still writing about her more than ten years later.

Mother Li felt very annoyed. Her second son had done too many messy things, and she didn't know how many girls he had provoked.

She decided to come here less often in the future, out of sight and out of mind.

Seeing Xiao Qiao and Zhou Ziyu staring at him dissatisfied, Li Zhe smiled, changed the subject and said, "By the way, we haven't finished posting the couplets yet. Let's continue posting the couplets."

Two years later in the afternoon, the Xijiao Hotel delivered the New Year's Eve dinner ordered.

32 dishes are enough to fill a large table, and there is a dazzling array of high-end ingredients such as bird's nest, truffle, sea cucumber, abalone, king crab, caviar, and Boston lobster.

Li Zhipeng, Han Fei, Cheng Shuang, and Cheng Qian were all stunned.

Isn't this too luxurious?

Especially the big lobster is one meter long. I don’t know how expensive it is.

There are also many high-end ingredients that they don’t know at all.

In fact, the most expensive thing is not the Boston lobster, but the black truffle and caviar.

A gram and truffles cost thousands, and top-quality Boston lobster only costs two or three thousand a pound.

Most of these high-end ingredients were ordered by Li Zhe from abroad, and the Xijiao Hotel only processed them on their behalf.

After Cheng Shuang was stunned for a few seconds to react, he quickly took out his phone and started taking photos.

"I'll take some pictures first."

She might only be able to eat such a top-notch meal once in her life, so she quickly took photos and showed off on her WeChat friends.

Cheng Qian took out her cell phone and started taking pictures.

Han Fei couldn't help but want to take some photos with her phone, but after taking a look at Li Zhe, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

After all, she is Li Zhe's sister-in-law and is considered an elder.

Mother Li looked at the dazzling array of high-end ingredients on the table, and her first thought was how much would it cost?

She turned to look at Mother Li, "Xiao Zhe, the food on your table must not be cheap, right? How much did it cost?"

Li Zhe smiled and did not answer directly, "Actually, it's not that expensive."

Although he is now worth tens of billions, he has never eaten so luxuriously. He feels that this is a bit too nouveau riche.

"How much is it if it's not that expensive? One hundred thousand?" Mother Li guessed.

The last time she spent 30,000 to 40,000 yuan (not counting red wine) for a meal at the Xijiao Hotel, she felt that today's meal was much richer (and more expensive) than last time.

I tried my best to guess as boldly as I could.

Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but smile. She thought this future mother-in-law was quite interesting.

One hundred thousand? Adding a zero is almost enough.

"Why did I say less?" Mother Li noticed the smile on the corner of her mouth.

Her second son's girlfriend is the most flirtatious and the most spendthrift.

Mother Li actually liked Zhou Ziyu when she first met her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also well-behaved and sensible, and she was also a good cook.

The only drawback is that she is too pretty.

But I am afraid of comparison in everything. She is not as charming and charming as a good-looking girl, and is not as popular with the elderly as Xiao Qiao, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi.

In addition, her ability to spend money (prodigal) cannot be hidden, which makes people like Li's mother, who has been frugal all her life, look down upon her.

"Ah, aunt, you called me?" Zhou Ziyu was stunned for a moment, as if he was distracted before he came back to his senses.

With her on-the-spot reactions and acting skills, it would be a waste of her talent not to become an actress!

Xiao Qiao was originally prepared to see Zhou Ziyu's joke, but she didn't expect to be dodged by her so easily, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Vixens just know how to act!" She muttered in her heart.

Li Zhipeng said a little impatiently, "Mom, don't worry about money all the time. Just feel free to eat. Xiaozhe is not short of money now."

If he had a choice, he would rather Li Zhe give him the money for the meal in cash.

After everyone sat down, Li Zhe picked up the red wine that the waiter had poured into the decanter and poured some into Mother Li's wine glass.

"Mom, try this red wine."

Mother Li picked up the wine glass and tasted it, looking like she was not used to it. "It tastes similar to last time. It's not sweet and sour, but it feels a little spicy."

"How much does this red wine cost?"

The red wine she drank at the Xijiao Hotel last time cost more than 10,000 yuan per square meter. She felt that it was not as delicious as the red wine (blended with grape juice) that cost 5 yuan for a small bucket before. At least it was a little sweet.

"It's a little more expensive than the last drink." Li Zhe said with a smile.

This bottle of red wine costs more than 100,000 yuan.

"Is it more expensive than the wine last time?" Mother Li shook her head with a look of disapproval.

"You should drink this wine, I can't get used to it."

"Auntie, try this. This wine is delicious." Xiao Qiao gave her a glass of sweet fruit wine.

Mother Li tasted it again and was indeed quite satisfied this time.

Seeing Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qian looking longingly at the Boston lobster and king crab, Li Zhe gave them each a large piece of lobster meat, and then asked everyone to start.

"Mom, hurry up and eat!"

"This big lobster is so delicious!" Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qian devoured it.

This Boston lobster weighs 12 kilograms and has been growing for nearly a hundred years. Canada only catches 3,000 lobsters every year and supplies them to the world. People who are not really rich can't afford it.

Not only Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qian, but also Li Zhipeng and Han Fei were a bit wolfish.

Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, and Liu Kaiyue ate very gracefully. They rarely moved their chopsticks, and they mostly introduced ingredients and picked up dishes for Mother Li.

They have been with Li Zhe for so long that they have already eaten all kinds of high-end ingredients, and there is no freshness anymore.

Only Shen Xinyi looked like she was enjoying her food. As long as it was delicious food, she would never get tired of it.

"Auntie, try this caviar." Zhou Ziyu scooped a spoonful of caviar for Mother Li.

Mother Li picked up the caviar and smelled it, then put it in her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

"This caviar tastes quite crisp, but it's a little fishy and salty."

Li Zhipeng couldn't help but said: "Mom, you need to feel the taste after chewing this caviar. If you swallow it directly, it will be a waste."

He has worked as a waiter in a big hotel for more than a year, and he knows a little bit about how to eat high-end ingredients.

Li Zhe smiled lightly and said, "It's just caviar. You can eat it however you want. It doesn't require much attention."

He knew that Li Zhipeng's words were not just for his mother, but also for him.

When he ate caviar just now, he chewed it and swallowed it.

Of course Li Zhe knew how to eat caviar, even if he didn't know Zhou Ziyu.

But caviar is a luxury product to ordinary people, but to him it is just an ordinary ingredient. He can eat it however he wants, so there is no need to pay so much attention to it.

When people reach a certain level, they can be casual. Just like Jack Ma, even if he wears a pair of old cloth shoes all day long, no one will say that he is vulgar or unconventional. Instead, they will praise him for being low-key.

Even if Li Zhe really doesn't know how to eat caviar, no one really thinks that he can't eat it, and they will only praise him for his informality.

Having money means being reasonable.

After eating the group meal for more than an hour, Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qian, who were very worthless, were so full that they couldn't sit still, so they had to lie down on the sofa.

After finishing the meal, Li Zhe sat with his mother for a while, and then went back to the room with Xiao Qiao and the others.

Thank you all for your monthly votes, enough for one thousand!
