A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 428: Illness and Retirement

When Chen Jinnian learned that Liu Jing was looking for Li Meng, he immediately understood the inside story.

He said in a somewhat rude tone, "Auntie, please tell me the truth, did Uncle Liu ask you to be a lobbyist?"

"You are smart, okay." Liu Jing smiled helplessly.

Since Chen Jinnian had pointed it out, Liu Jing didn't want to hide it. After all, Liu Zheng was her disappointing younger brother, and as his elder sister, she couldn't just ignore him.

Liu Jing didn't know about the conflict between Liu Zheng and Li Meng at first. It was not until the Dragon Boat Festival some time ago that she noticed some clues and called Liu Zheng out for questioning, and only then did she understand the cause and consequences of the matter.

"Auntie, let me be honest with you. If you want to persuade my head teacher, then save your energy. She will never give up her career to become a full-time housewife."

Chen Jinnian and Li Meng were teacher and student for three years, and he was the type of person who was taken out every now and then. He knew Li Meng better than any other student.

Li Meng comes from a family of teachers. Both her parents work in education. Given her family background, what she cares about is completely different from what Liu Zheng, a businessman, cares about.

"Actually, Liu Zheng is also thinking about Li Meng. They're both not young anymore, so after getting married, they'll definitely..."

"Stop, please stop talking about this. Having children is too far off. Our head teacher definitely won't consider it in the next two or five years. Besides, you can't even get married, so how can you even think about having children?"

Chen Jinnian shook his head hurriedly. He felt that Liu Zheng was thinking too much.

"Two years? Five years?" Liu Jing was surprised at how Chen Jinnian knew such an accurate time point.

"Yeah, Chunfeng has a teacher-apprentice system. The same teachers teach students from the first year to the third year of high school. Our homeroom teacher has already taught the freshmen for a year, so there are still two years left. As for the fifth year, that's for the next class."

With Li Meng's strong sense of professionalism, she would never finish teaching halfway and then go home to have a baby.

"Yes, our teacher is back." Chen Jinnian pointed outside where Li Meng was chatting with Fang Shiya. "But instead of trying to persuade Li Meng, why don't you go back and persuade Liu Zheng to tone down his male chauvinism? He's too much of a daddy. He's not even close to getting married yet, so he should consider having children."

After receiving Chen Jinnian's reminder, Liu Jing immediately hesitated. Although she and Li Meng didn't spend much time together, she could see that she was a very opinionated person. She was afraid that if she spoke up, it would backfire.

"Oh, my brother is such a worry."

"Actually, your son is also quite troublesome." Chen Jinnian reminded from the side, and then pointed at Huang Zhitao who was standing next to Pan Shuai.

Ji Yangyang and Huang Zhitao didn't break up, but they didn't act like a normal couple. They didn't talk much this morning and were busy with their own things.

No matter how gentle Liu Jing's personality is, she still looks worried when faced with such a difficult situation. No one, big or small, can be at ease.

In the end, she didn't serve as a lobbyist for anyone. She couldn't speak about Liu Zheng's affairs, nor could she speak about Ji Yangyang's affairs. After congratulating Pan Shuai on his wedding, she left early and didn't even attend the wedding ceremony at noon.

Chen Jinnian left a little later than Liu Jing, but he didn't stay too long. After fulfilling his duties as best man, he said goodbye to Wang Yidi and left to attend the afternoon activities.

"Sister Shiya's wedding dress is really nice, but that red traditional Chinese wedding dress is also very beautiful. Which one do you think looks better?"

Wang Yidi held the phone and asked with a conflicted look on his face.

"What's there to choose from? Why not just choose all?"

"What nonsense! There is only one wedding. Do you want to get married twice?" Wang Yidi stared at him with his almond-shaped eyes. At the same time, he slowly raised his right hand, ready to massage Chen Jinnian's soft spot at any time.

Chen Jinnian's mouth froze, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Yidi's hand, "We can hold a wedding in each place, saving grandpa and grandma the trouble of traveling back and forth, and we can also hold two weddings of your choice at the same time."

Wang Yidi was very satisfied with his answer, but she still insisted, "Who wants to marry you? You are so shameless."

"Didn't we agree to get married after graduation?" Chen Jinnian asked hurriedly, fearing that Wang Yidi would go back on his word again.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Yiming, who was driving, could no longer sit still. He really didn't expect that the two of them had reached the stage of discussing marriage.

"What, you two are getting married!"

Wang Yidi shyly warned Chen Jinnian with her eyes, then leaned forward and knocked on the front seat, warning him, "None of your business, just drive carefully, and don't let anyone know what happened."

Although they both wanted to get married, they were not old enough and were just chatting casually. They didn't want to let their parents know.

"I understand." Wang Yiming nodded. He was a serious person and would not have spoken at all if he had not been so surprised just now.

Chen Jinnian went to participate in the film promotion work. The main person interviewed was Wu Jing. He only needed to appear as a background board. There was not much content, but it was quite time-consuming.

When he arrived, Wu Jing was reviewing the script with the host and memorizing the content of the interview that was about to be recorded, and had no time to chat with him.

However, the other person sitting there surprised Chen Jinnian a little.

"Hey, man, you're here." Yu Qian waved the folding fan in his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, uncle, why are you here? Don't you have any performances recently?" Chen Jinnian asked in surprise.

Summer vacation is not only a good time for movies, but also a good opportunity to make money for other entertainment performances. Commercial performances should be seamlessly connected. Yu Qian should not be so leisurely.

"I've been sick recently and can't perform. I can only rest at home."

"Are you sick?" Chen Jinnian saw that Yu Qian's face was flushed, and he didn't look sick at all. He even smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

So he asked suspiciously, "How can you drink alcohol when you're sick? Which doctor prescribed this? Could it be that the more you drink, the worse it gets?"

"Hahaha, if I really was drinking with cefuroxime, I'd leave right away." Yu Qian's hand trembled slightly, and he stood up with a smile, patting Chen Jinnian's shoulder vigorously. "Have you lost weight? Listen to what I say, don't work too hard. You can't make enough money, just enough to spend and have fun."

Yu Qian reminded.

In fact, he was not sick, but some people thought that the performance fee he received was too high and not worth the price. In order not to offend others, he simply pretended to be sick and retired. Anyway, for Qian, it didn't matter where he went to make money.

Chen Jinnian immediately understood the other party's implication. After all, there were not many people who could make Yu Qian sick. "Master, I understand what you mean, but it's a pity that the person who should understand it is not here."

"Then we have no right to interfere." Yu Qian didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs. His apprentice and fellow junior brothers had already arranged a way out. If they could still make money, they would continue to do it. If they couldn't, they would just part ways amicably.
