Chapter 297

"It's just having dinner with the investors of this drama, to entertain them a bit.

Su Yang will go with you, and I and Mr. He will be with you the whole time too. After all, public opinion hasn't been great online lately, so we need to take a stand and reassure the investors.

Of course, you won't need to do anything. Many brands also cooperate with us, no one will deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Mr. He will take care of the pleasantries, I'll drink the alcohol."

Qin Wei pulled at the corner of her mouth:

"Li Yao, I don't mean to underestimate you, but your alcohol tolerance really is quite poor..."

Li Yao was prepared:

"I'm bringing a colleague who can really drink. That kind of person."

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll do Miss Qin Wei's makeup while we chat."

He Hong picked up the makeup bag next to her and looked at Sun Tiantian.

"Oh...okay...the dressing room is over there, there's also a makeup counter, go ahead and use it..."

He Hong smiled satisfactorily, showing a smile, then invited Qin Wei to go with her.

Sitting in front of the mirror, He Hong applied her makeup while saying:

"By age, I should be your elder. If Miss Qin Wei doesn't mind, I'll call you Wei Wei, maybe it won't feel so impersonal."

You still call Jiao Sixiao by her full name, don't you think that's impersonal?

Of course she had no business asking this question. Qin Wei replied: "Anything you like is fine."

"Doing your makeup reminds me of when my daughter entered a dance competition as a child. I did her makeup back then too."

Looking at Qin Wei in the mirror, He Hong's eyes showed rare gentleness.

...

"Qingqing, come out for dinner!"

Her mother's voice came from outside the door. Shen Qingqing threw her phone aside and lay on the bed, yelling back:

"I'm not eating!"

For Shen Qingqing, the past five days had been five days under house arrest. Her parents had not only cancelled all her jobs for those days, they wouldn't even let her leave the house.

"Your dad said to come out and eat, then do whatever you're supposed to do after."

Understanding the subtext, Shen Qingqing finally opened the door and reluctantly followed her mother downstairs to eat.

The family of three rarely sat down for dinner together. Shen Qingqing ate a few bites casually, then got up to leave.

Without even raising his head, Shen's father simply said:

"Come back. Sit down."

Shen Qingqing sat back down with a sullen face.

Shen's father asked: "You're not even married yet and you already don't want to eat with your parents? Where are you in such a hurry to run off to? Got some new mischief planned for today?"

Shen Qingqing: "I'm a grown adult now, do I have to report to you when I go out? Who's ever heard of an adult being grounded by their parents, and for five whole days at that! The police uncle even said I'm just an innocent bystander enjoying the show. I just don't get it. Am I really so worthless in your eyes?"

Shen's father glanced at her and shook his head with a laugh:

"You'll always be a child in your father's eyes. If you don't want to be controlled, fine, get married. When someone else is taking care of you, your father won't interfere."

Shen's mother took the chance to say:

"I think the Xu Family's boy is pretty good, the Wei Family's second son works too, and then there's that..."

"Career first, family later!"

Shen Qingqing was annoyed listening to this. She wanted to pound the table, but suddenly had an idea. She put her arm around her father and spoke coquettishly:

"Dad, I've been interested in a new drama lately. I think investing in it would have great returns. I don't want a car anymore, just invest for me, okay? Consider it starting a business for me."

Shen's father looked happily surprised.

"Oh? Don't want to be an actress anymore? Now you want to be an investor?"

Shen Qingqing continued cajoling:

"I'll still be an actress, but that won't get in the way of investing, right Dad? I want to start a career."

"It's the one your little friends are in, right?"

"Mm-hmm!"

"No way."

"Huh?"

Rarely rejected by her father, even Shen Qingqing was surprised. Her father must think she would ask for an outrageous amount. So Shen Qingqing explained:

"You don't need to put in that much, just 200 million..."

Shen's father squinted at her.

Shen Qingqing compromised:

"100 million...80...50 million, come on Dad, any less wouldn't look good, right?"

Shen's father patiently explained:

"You're treating investing like a game! It's money I earned. I don't mind spending 200 million on a car for you because you're my daughter. But business is business, I won't put in money I shouldn't. You don't understand the business world, so don't get involved. Right now all the investors in this TV drama are cautiously observing. You have no idea, a failed investment isn't as simple as just money down the drain. It could even lead to turmoil."

Shen Qingqing let go of her father's hand:

"Online they're saying this incident might impact later fundraising for this drama. Wei Wei is my friend, consider it helping her out, okay? Worst case, I'll listen to everything you say for the next six months..."

"Then get married."

Without a second thought, Shen's father said:

"If you're really going to listen to me, for that drama I'll invest 50 million. Consider it..."

"200 million."

Shen Qingqing held up two fingers in front of her father and waved them around, seeing her parents' shocked expressions, she couldn't help feeling a bit smug, even holding her head high.

"Then I'll go marry Qin Wei abroad. I've actually been pretty into her lately, with her it wouldn't be a bad marriage, ha ha ha! That way Dad and Mom you'll have gained another..."

"Shen Qingqing."

Shen's father gritted his teeth and banged the table.

"I treat you as my daughter, yet you treat me as a complete fool, don't you?"

...

"Ah-choo!"

He Hong was spraying on powder. Qin Wei couldn't help letting out a sneeze. She rubbed her nose and looked at herself in the mirror. She had to admit, He Hong did makeup pretty professionally.

Not only did it conceal the bruises on her face, but the makeup look was clean and natural.

He Hong packed up her things and walked over, lightly squeezing Qin Wei's shoulder.

"It's about time, let's go."

Li Yao and Sun Tiantian were standing at the door. He Hong suddenly pushed the door open, startling both of them and making them jump back several steps.

Sun Tiantian's calf even bumped into the coffee table. Her body tilted back. If not for He Hong hurriedly catching her, she would have fallen over.

Sun Tiantian was flustered and at a loss, but was comforted by He Hong with:

"Be careful, you're not hurt are you?"

Sun Tiantian nodded. She didn't know what to say.

He Hong smiled at her. Her smile was very friendly, yet it always made Sun Tiantian feel an invisible oppressive force.

"Thank you for everything you did today."

As He Hong spoke, she took out her business card and leaned down to place it on the coffee table.

"My company is preparing for an MV shoot. We need a sweet and cute girl for the female lead. Miss Sun fits what I'm looking for very well. If interested, have your agent come sign the contract tomorrow morning. I look forward to working with Miss Sun."

After speaking, He Hong walked out. Li Yao hurried to the door to open it, then stood aside, signaling the two ladies to exit first.

Qin Wei's five friends were still standing in the hallway. Seeing her come out, they all looked concerned.

While waiting for the elevator, Auntie Zhou asked:

"Little Qin, you're leaving now?"

Auntie Zhou looked reluctant to part, and even started wiping away tears. Her mood affected the other four ladies, and they all became emotional together.

"Auntie, I'm just going to work, not off to war. Don't worry, I'll come visit whenever I have time. Help me look after Tiantian in the meantime, with her social anxiety it's hard for her to make friends..."

Before she could finish, the other aunties seemed even sadder. Auntie Chen kept nodding and wiping away tears:

"Child, go, don't worry, we're here..."

Auntie Liu: "Waaah..."

Auntie Tang: "..."

Qin Wei: "..."
