Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 107 105. Have a plan in life

In addition to the street lights still shining on the cold streets in the early morning, only 24-hour convenience stores can provide a warm environment for people who don't want to go home.

Chen Li'an stood by the water heater in the convenience store, holding a bucket of seafood noodles in his hand, waiting for the hot water to boil.

"Would you like some fish balls?" Wang Zuxian's voice came from the small bar at the door.

Chen Li'an turned around and saw that she was waving at him with a bunch of fish balls in her hands. The soup on the fish balls fell to the ground along with her movements.

"Yeah." Wang Zuxian took a step back, looked at the oil spots on his pants, and lowered his head to wipe it with some annoyance.

Seeing Wang Zuxian's silly look, Chen Li'an smiled.

clatter.

The water heater started to beat. Chen Li'an looked back and took the hot water before walking over.

Walking up to Wang Zuxian, Chen Li'an put down the cup of noodles, squatted down and looked at the oil spots on her pants, wiped them with paper and said, "Just go back and wash them."

"I like these pants the most." Wang Zuxian and Chen Li'an picked these pants together in Beijing. To be precise, Chen Li'an helped her choose them. She likes these pants very much.

Chen Li'an stood up and saw that she was still holding the string of fish balls in her hand. He took it and swallowed it in one gulp, then muttered, "I'll go back and help you get it. It's easy to drop it."

"Okay, if it can't be cleaned, you can help me buy another one next time." Wang Zuxian looked at the gloss at the corner of Chen Li'an's mouth, raised her hand to wipe it for him and asked, "When will you return to the mainland?"

"It won't be decided in a few days." Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian and asked, "What are your plans for this year? If you really plan to quit the circle, find something else to do."

When it came to this topic, Wang Zuxian raised his head and looked at Chen Li'an and said with some confusion: "I haven't thought about what to do. I didn't start work last year and I didn't even think about it."

Wang Zuxian sat on a high stool, looking at the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding her chin like a lost lamb not knowing where to go in the future.

"What did you want to do before becoming an actor?" Chen Li'an sat next to Wang Zuxian, opened the cup of noodles and picked it with a fork, and a burst of fragrance immediately wafted out.

Wang Zuxian sniffed her nose, turned her head and looked at Chen Li'an eating noodles, and after a while she said: "I didn't like school before, so I played basketball, and then I started filming. I don't know whether I like playing basketball or acting more. more."

After taking a bite of the noodles, they still felt a bit hard, and he was a little anxious. Chen Li'an closed the lid again, tapped his fingers on the surface of the cup, and then said: "You debuted too early. You started filming when you were a teenager. You must stop immediately." You’ll be confused, don’t be so anxious, just think about it slowly.”

"I'm not in a hurry. I didn't say that just because you asked me." Wang Zuxian grabbed the cup of noodles from Chen Li'an's hand, opened it and took a bite and said, "It tastes so good~"

Chen Li'an: "." I just asked you if you wanted to eat, and you said no! It's just delicious when you grab it, right?

Seeing Wang Zuxian eating noodles, Chen Li'an couldn't help but smile. He was indeed an athlete who didn't want to study and studied sports. He really felt a bit like a tomboy if he didn't deliberately maintain his image.

"If you don't have a plan, it's good to travel around. Maybe you'll know what you want to do after walking around." Chen Li'an looked at Wang Zuxian who had almost finished the noodles, quickly brought up a topic and took the noodles from her hand. Grab it.

Sure enough, they are still rushing to be popular!

Wang Zuxian wiped her mouth and said, "I don't want to go. Traveling alone is too boring. How about you come with me?"

"I don't have time. I'm going to Europe for an art exhibition in March, filming in April, and Venice in June." Chen Li'an counted his next tasks on his fingers.

Wang Zuxian glanced at the fork in Chen Li'an's hand and said, "Why are you so busy? But when you go to Europe to hold an art exhibition, I can go with you. Let's treat it as a trip."

"If I go, I will be very busy. I probably won't have time to accompany you." Chen Li'an took a bite of noodles and then said, "How about waiting for the second half of the year, when I will be free."

Wang Zuxian was a little disappointed, but as a star, he has long been accustomed to such a busy state. He nodded and said: "Okay, then I have to think about what to do this year."

"How about being a producer?" Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "The mainland film and television industry is developing now, and investing in TV series is a good choice."

"I don't know about mainland movies and TV dramas." Wang Zuxian was not very interested. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about I go to school? I want to go to university."

Chen Li'an put the lid on the finished cup noodles and asked, "What are you going to learn? Where are you going to learn it?"

"How about art appreciation, or majoring in Chinese." Wang Zuxian thought for a moment and said, "How about Canada? I like Canada very much."

Chen Li'an: "That's okay." Why is it Canada again? Are you possessed?

"Okay!" Wang Zuxian said happily: "Then I'll check it out when I get back. I'm almost bored to death recently."

Seeing Wang Zuxian like this, Chen Li'an understood deeply that people should find something to do, even if they sit in the security booth and embarrass the owner.

"Let's go back to bed." Wang Zuxian jumped off the chair and pulled Chen Li'an to help yawn.

Three days later, Chen Li'an settled all the money in his account with Mr. Tang.

Excluding commissions, Chen Li'an's 400,000 yuan turned into 3.26 million yuan. He was considered a wealthy man in mainland China.

This is the hidden benefit of time travel. Although I don’t know financial knowledge, I can make money through professionals if I know a rough idea.

Chen Li'an didn't know how to spend more than three million for a while. He could buy many houses and courtyard houses in the capital.

How to spend so much money? Chen Li'an felt a little melancholy, so he turned his attention to Bai Qing.

In the hotel, Bai Qing was lying on the bed with some sluggishness, listening to Chen Li'an's ramblings. She had been looking at photos and piecing together photos for the past few days. Her whole body was highly concentrated and excited, and now she could no longer hold on.

"Ouch! You're so annoying." Bo Qing threw a pillow over, grabbed the quilt and covered her ears and shouted: "If you have money, go back and repair the yard! Then buy a house and a car!"

Bai Qing's words made Chen Li'an pause for a moment, remembering that the courtyard had not been repaired for several years. Although there were no problems now, it would not last long.

Moreover, it will take several years before that area will be demolished. It would be nice to repair the yard for everyone now, as a way to repay everyone for taking care of him.

Well, you can also buy a house or a car. As a man with many friends, you must prepare several houses. One car is enough.

Seeing Bai Qing who was about to fall asleep in a daze, Chen Li'an didn't bother to go out and call to book a flight.

Return to the mainland tomorrow!

Before returning to the mainland, Chen Li'an still stopped by Yangcheng to visit his second uncle and cousin.

Well... Mainly to prevent the money in my hands from sitting in the bank and gathering dust.

This time Chen Li'an did not take Bo Qing with him. Although Bo Qing wanted to follow, he thought that there were so many photos that he had not finished putting together, so he obediently took all the photos back to the capital, preparing to retreat for half a month to finish putting together all the photos.

The most important thing is that Ji Fa will come to the capital in a few days, and Chen Li'an and Bai Qing must have someone there.

The temperature in Yangcheng is slightly colder than that in Xiangjiang, but it is still very comfortable. Chen Li'an wearing a jacket is enough to resist the cold morning and evening.

The second uncle's name is Qiao Linmu. He owns a small electrical appliance factory, which mainly produces electric fans. He is considered a wealthy family.

But now it's still a little bit behind compared to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an has the feeling that the waves behind him push the waves ahead. Last year, he had to rely on his second uncle's help, but this year he has overtaken the lead. He deserves to be happy.

For this reason, Chen Li'an specially bought a few bottles of good wine and planned to have a few more drinks with his second uncle in the evening.

My second uncle's home is in the family building of Yangcheng Second Hospital. My second aunt is a doctor, a very good but stingy woman.

After asking around in the family's courtyard, Chen Li'an found out where his second uncle was, but he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response.

"Didn't I tell you on the phone? Why is there no one at home?" Chen Li'an was a little depressed, leaning against the door and lighting a cigarette out of boredom.

Chen Li'an lowered his head and lit the cigarette, but before he could take a puff, a big white and fat hand snatched it away.

"When did you learn to smoke?" The second uncle looked at the cigarette in his hand and frowned at the carefree Chen Li'an.

The lighter in Chen Li'an's hand was still on fire. When he looked up and saw his second uncle, he said angrily: "Second uncle, can you not be so scary next time?"

Qiao Linmu frowned and threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stamped it out. He couldn't help but slapped Chen Li'an on the head and said, "You dare to smoke without learning well at a young age. Your mother will break your legs if you live!"

"Second uncle, I'm already twenty-two, I'm not a kid anymore, okay." Chen Li'an touched his head and looked at Qiao Linmu helplessly.

"That's not okay!" Qiao Lin said with a serious face, then looked at Chen Li'an, who was half a head taller than him, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, why do I feel like you have grown taller again."

Chen Li'an looked at his chubby second uncle and muttered in a low voice: "I was already this tall when you came to see me the year before last."

Qiao Linmu looked at Chen Li'an and was silent for a moment before saying, "I always feel like you are still the kid holding my legs and asking for sweets. Time flies so fast."

The most frustrating thing about meeting an elder you haven't seen for a long time is that he always tells embarrassing things about you when you were a child to prove his close relationship with you and that he has always been thinking about you.

These words are nothing more than, I hugged you when you were a child, and you peed all over me; you were only a little bit older before, but now you are so tall, and so on.

Most young people would feel embarrassed by this kind of affectionate expression, but Chen Li'an, who is relatively thick-skinned, didn't feel it at all. Instead, he complained: "I pestered you to ask for sweets and you didn't get them, didn't you?"

"Your mother said you had cavities and refused to give them to you, what can I do!" Qiao Linmu glared at Chen Li'an angrily, took out the key, opened the door and said, "Hurry up and come in with your things."

"Oh, where is my sister? Why aren't you at home?" Chen Li'an asked after entering the door.

Qiao Linmu said while changing his shoes: "I went shopping for groceries. I'll be back soon. Your aunt will be on duty tonight."

"What kind of food are you buying? Let's go out to eat. I'll treat you." Chen Li'an put down the things and looked at Qiao Linmu and said.

Qiao Linmu turned around and glanced at Chen Li'an, looking at his doggy appearance and the bottles of Wuliangye on the ground, and then he suddenly realized and asked belatedly: "What have you done recently? Where did you get so much money?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that I made two movies?" Chen Li'an explained.

Qiao Linmu walked to the water dispenser and took a glass of water, and asked questioningly: "Making a movie is so profitable? Didn't you say it hasn't been released yet? Aren't you doing something bad like that kid Qi Sheng?"

The Qi Sheng Qiao Linmu was talking about was Uncle Qi's son, who was arrested for violating laws and disciplines. Chen Li'an said somewhat speechlessly: "Am I that kind of person? I earned this money myself."

"Then tell me what's going on." Qiao Linmu looked at Chen Li'an with his legs crossed and asked suspiciously, "I'm curious about how you make money."

Being able to brag to his family, Chen Li'an immediately became interested and talked about his experiences this year with great interest.

After a while, Qiao Linmu looked at Chen Li'an as if he were an alien, and asked with some disbelief: "You just sold it for hundreds of thousands, and then you made more than three million with a casual investment?"

In Chen Li'an's story, making money was as easy as drinking water. Qiao Linmu even wondered if there was something wrong with the world. He had worked hard to set up a factory for more than ten years and his family only had a little over one million.

This eldest nephew just took a few photos and sold them for hundreds of thousands. He made money twice as much by doing financial management. Qiao Linmu felt that his life experience was overturned at this moment.

Seeing the shocked look on his second uncle's face, Chen Li'an looked like a child begging for praise and said proudly: "Second uncle, do you admire me very much?"

"What you said is too outrageous." Qiao Linmu shook his head and then smiled bitterly and said, "I would rather believe that you went to rob a bank."

Chen Li'an: "." Why don't you want this second uncle?

There was the sound of the door lock being unlocked in the house, and then a young, beautiful and somewhat cold voice came from the entrance.

"Dad, I'm back. Is Li'an here?"

"Here we come!" Chen Li'an immediately stood up and ran to the door. He looked at his cousin carrying a bag of vegetables and shouted, "Sister, you are back. I miss you so much."

Qiao Xiulin, who was changing her shoes, looked at Chen Li'an's cold face in front of her and smiled. Looking at his smiling face, she remembered that every time he saw her, he would chase after her and call her sister. She smiled and said: "Still like a child. Nothing has changed.”

Chen Li'an smiled, looked at Qiao Xiulin, who had half taken off her shoes, and quickly handed her slippers over and said, "You are like my second uncle, and you look at people with old eyes. I am already in my twenties."

"The kid is still not convinced." Qiao Xiulin changed into her slippers, looked at the faint stubble on Chen Li'an's chin and said with a smile, "But she has indeed grown up."

Qiao Linmu was leaning on the sofa in the living room, listening to the conversation between the two children and kept interjecting: "They have grown up. They come to me to show off that they can make more money than me."

"Huh?" Qiao Xiulin frowned lightly, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I made a little money." Chen Li'an explained, then turned to look at Qiao Linmu and said, "Second uncle, I'm not here to show off. Don't slander me."

Qiao Linmu snorted and said, "Then what are you here for."

"Looking at you, um...mainly looking at my sister." Chen Lian turned around and smiled at Qiao Xiulin.

"I believe this. You have liked to cling to your sister since you were a child." Qiao Linmu patted his thigh and said sadly: "I don't kiss my nephew...sigh..."

Chen Li'an ignored his much-played second uncle and changed the subject: "...Second uncle, I actually have one more thing to do when I come."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Linmu asked curiously.

"Invest, second uncle, let's build a VCD factory. It has a better future than your electric fan!"

I’ll add one chapter first, and two more chapters tonight.
