"Let me introduce, this is Zhou Quan. This is..." Wang Zuxian stood up and said.
Zhou Quan first greeted Lin Qingxia and the three girls, and finally extended his hand to Cheng Derong and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Chen Derong."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
When shaking hands, Cheng Derong said with a nervous and shy smile.
"Zhou Quan, call her Xiaorong. Xiaorong, just call her by her name." Wang Zuxian said.
She gave up her seat, letting Zhou Quan sit next to Cheng Derong, and she sat next to Ye Quanzhen.
"Qing Xia Qing, I'm treating you, you're welcome."
After everyone sat down, the waiter came over. Zhou Quan handed the menu to Lin Qingxia and asked her to order.
"Then I'm going to make your wallet feel bad today." Lin Qingxia smiled and took the menu.
"Xiao Rong, what movies are you filming recently?"
Zhou Quan's gentle smile made Cheng Derong relax and replied softly: "I'm not filming this year, I'm making a record."
"You can also sing?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"They have already released a CD. Let Xiaorong give you one tomorrow." Wang Zuxian said.
Cheng Derong nodded, Zhou Quan smiled and said, "How are the sales?"
Wang Zuxian rolled his eyes at Zhou Quan, "Aren't you quite smart? Are you confused now?"
Cheng Derong smiled awkwardly and shook his head.
There was no embarrassment on Zhou Quan's face, and he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just lost the finals. There are always times in life when things go wrong."
At this point, he changed the topic and said: "By the way, Xiao Rong, since I'm in a bad mood, why not do this? I'll go back to the United States in a while and ask you to go have some fun and relax there?"
Lin Qingxia and Wu Qianlian rolled their eyes. They were indeed experts in love. They started making love within a minute of meeting each other.
However, they are not worried about Chen Derong, because Chen Derong comes from a good family, has a high level of vision, and there are many people chasing her. Even a handsome king like Li Ming will not take the bait easily.
Sure enough, Chen Derong shook his head and said, "Mom will not let me go to the United States alone."
"Zhou Quan, I'm in a worse mood than Xiao Rong, and I also want to relax, why not come together?" Ye Quanzhen said, looking at Zhou Quan with an ambiguous expression.
Wang Zuxian moved his feet, kicked Ye Quanzhen, and gave her a warning look.
Ye Quanzhen curled her lips, but she really didn't dare to confront Wang Zuxian.
"I'll invite you if I get a chance."
Zhou Quan smiled and said casually.
His full-level panoramic vision saw the movements of Wang Zuxian's thighs. Although his eyes did not see the bottom of the table, his brain instantly simulated the action of Wang Zuxian kicking Ye Quanzhen. He estimated that Wang Zuxian did not want him to provoke Ye Quanzhen.
After dinner, Zhou Quan planned to invite a few people to sing, but Wang Zuxian declined and asked him to go back and wait for news.
After Zhou Quan paid and left, the women started chatting while drinking coffee.
"Xiao Rong, do you feel anything? If you really don't feel anything, just let me do it. Don't force yourself." Ye Quan asked without giving up.
Cheng Derong blushed, lowered his head and said nothing. He just kept playing with the spoon in the coffee cup.
Seeing Xiao Rong's look, Wang Zuxian laughed, even she was a little tempted. She didn't believe that Xiao Rong didn't have any affection for Zhou Quan.
Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "He is a good person, handsome and rich, and he is definitely a rich son-in-law. Moreover, he has worked hard for his career. He can succeed in the United States and has great abilities."
Wu Qianlian said: "It's a pity that I'm not pretty, otherwise I would have chased him."
Wang Zuxian said teasingly: "Isn't there someone here who plans to pursue me?"
Ye Quanzhen said disdainfully: "Xianzu, you guessed it right, why can't I catch up? If I catch up, I won't have to worry about it in my life. What else will I be filming?"
Marrying into a wealthy family may not necessarily be as good as marrying someone like him. Don’t think that wealthy families are better. Rich families have too many rules and look down on our industry. How many female stars can marry into a wealthy family? Most of them are small, and they don't even have the status of being a small person. "
"Okay, say a few words." Lin Qingxia interrupted the two of them.
"Xiao Rong, should I go to your house tonight?" Wang Zuxian asked.
"Um."
Cheng Derong froze for a moment and nodded slightly.
Ye Quanzhen curled his lips, what are you pretending to do, little girl, when I can't see that you are moved?
The girls then left the hotel, and Wang Zuxian and Cheng Derong went directly to her home and met her schoolmate, Mama Chen.
Mother Chen was not surprised to learn that her old classmate had introduced her daughter to a boyfriend. Her daughter was very beautiful and had many people pursuing her.
Wang Zuxian introduced Zhou Quan's situation and asked: "Old classmate, his conditions are very good. The people he associates with in the United States are all celebrities. Many first-line stars in Hollywood are his friends. His age is also very suitable for Xiao Rong. He has a good personality, what’s your opinion?”
Mother Chen did not refuse directly. After all, Zhou Quan's conditions were indeed good. Although he was from mainland China, his family developed in the United States. However, she could not accept it if her daughter had to stop her acting career in order to fall in love.
"Zu Xian, let's fall in love. Xiao Rong doesn't have to go to the United States, right?" She said doubtfully.
Wang Zuxian smiled and said: "Zhou Quan has to stay in the United States for at least ten months a year. If Xiao Rong doesn't go there, there is no need to talk about it.
I suggest that you go with him for a while and talk about it first. If you feel it is inappropriate, then come back decisively. This will have little impact on Xiao Rong.
If you feel good about it, then you must continue to stay there. If you have to give up your career here, and separate the two of you, that will definitely not work. "
"That's true."
Mother Chen couldn't help but nodded.
"Now you, mother and daughter, can discuss it among yourselves. I will leave first. By the way, we must make a decision as soon as possible. If not, he will return to the mainland in three days."
Wang Zuxian said goodbye and left.
"Xiao Rong, what do you mean?"
After sending Wang Zuxian away, Mrs. Chen asked immediately when she came back.
Cheng Derong felt a lot of pressure. Once she agreed to talk, she would have to go to the United States. It was related to her future and her life. She couldn't think clearly at the moment, so she hesitated and said nothing.
Mother Chen muttered: "The conditions are indeed good. If your sister Xian didn't lie, Zhou Quan earns more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars a year, and he is the master of his own affairs. It would be good for you to follow him. Xiao Rong, what do you think about others? How about it?"
"Very, very good. He asked me to go to the United States to play." Cheng Derong said in a low voice.
"The horoscope hasn't been written yet. You haven't agreed, have you?" Mother Chen was surprised.
"No."
"That's good, girls should be more reserved, otherwise people will look down on you." Mother Chen warned.
She then considered: "Although you have a contract with Qiong Yao's company, you are still twenty years old. If you encounter a good opportunity, you can't just let it go.
Let's do it, just like what you said, Xiaorong, you should get in touch with him first to see his character, temper and so on. He is engaged in sports. This kind of person may have a very bad temper. If that's the case If you are a person, stop talking about it.
It also depends on whether he is generous or stingy to you. It is not worthwhile for you to give up your acting career for him, and you will not live a good life with him.
Remember, this is your lifetime thing, so be cautious and you would rather miss it than be impulsive. "
"I know, mom." Cheng Derong nodded.
…
Zhou Quan stayed in Xiangcheng for a few more days and felt good about dating Cheng Derong. Although this girl was well-informed, she had no experience in dating and she blushed after a few sweet words.
Wang Zuxian suggested that he send some gifts to express his feelings, so he gave Cheng Derong a Mercedes-Benz sports car, which cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Gifts of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars successfully won Cheng Derong's heart, and Chen's mother finally agreed to let the two officially date.
However, the paparazzi in Xiangcheng are really powerful. The two of them tried their best to pay attention, but they were still photographed.
Regardless of the media hype, Cheng Derong and her mother immediately received a call from Qiong Yao.
Qiong Yao was furious. Next year she was going to film another film called "Confinement". The heroine was Cheng Derong. She would never agree to Cheng Derong falling in love at this time.
The relationship between Mother Chen and Qiong Yao fell apart. Although Qiong Yao is her daughter's favorite, she can only make a lot of money from filming. With her daughter's current celebrity status, Qiong Yao is very stingy. One episode of her TV series costs thousands of dollars. Zhou Quan directly gave his daughter hundreds of thousands of gifts. This was sincerity, and she could still tell which one was more important.
On the 25th, Zhou Quan invited Cheng Derong's family to dinner, and also invited Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia, and Xu Xiaoming to accompany him.
Cheng Derong's father, Chen Zu, also came over from Taiwan, and the meeting was very formal.
Zhou Quan and Cheng Derong have established a relationship, which roughly means that Cheng Derong can go to the United States, but Chen’s mother has to take care of her.
On the 26th, Zhou Quan left Xiangcheng and returned to Changsha.
"Really? Son, are you looking for her this time?"
Lin Yufen pointed at Du Qianqian on the TV, her mouth closed in surprise.
"What TV show is this?"
When Zhou Quan took a look, he really was Cheng Derong.
"The third part of Plum Blossom Lane Three, Shui Yunjian. Son, you really found this. What's her name?" Zhou Jianguo said in equal surprise.
"Cheng Derong, my nickname is Xiaorong." Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Formal, or this year?" Lin Yufen asked seriously.
"Of course it's official. Aren't you urging me to get married?" Zhou Quan smiled.
"So fast?" Zhou Jianguo asked.
"Why hurry? I can't wait to hold my grandson now."
Lin Yufen glared at Zhou Jianguo, and said with a smile: "This girl is beautiful, and I heard she is from Taiwan."
Zhou Jianguo nodded and said: "It's faster, but your mother and I just met once and got married. Isn't this a good life? Okay, son, you did a good job."
"What is this girl's personality like? I wonder if she will be easy to get along with. Will celebrities have airs?" Lin Yufen said with some worry.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "I think you have a pretty good personality these past few days, otherwise...although it is indeed a bit too fast, I still like it quite a lot.
The main thing is that since she is in a relationship, she will definitely go to the United States and will not be able to film, so her family needs some protection and the relationship must be formalized. "
Lin Yufen nodded and said, "That's right. If a girl loses her career and goes to the United States with you, you have to provide her with protection."
"As long as you like it, it doesn't matter about me and your mother. Anyway, you will basically stay in the United States from now on. If we don't get along with her, we won't be able to see each other." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.
"Dad, why don't you resign and go to the United States with my mother? I have photos here. The environment where I live now is super nice."
Zhou Quan dug out a large stack of photos. Zhou Lin and his wife couldn't close their mouths when they saw it.
"Son, what kind of villa did you buy? Isn't it too big? This is a palace!" Zhou Jianguo said in surprise.
"I don't think this is luxury. Look at this lake. There is an island in the lake. The mansions on it cost tens of millions of dollars."
"The Golden Nest isn't that expensive, right?"
Zhou Jianguo shook his head and sighed, then chuckled and said, "Your dad and I might be able to be promoted to a higher level in a few years. By then, we will be deputy directors. Resigning is out of the question."
"Then you take leave during the Chinese New Year this year and take my mother and Xiaojun Xiaoye to the United States. It's settled." Zhou Quan said.
"Well, okay then."
Zhou Jianguo couldn't bear to refute his son's face again and again, so he nodded in agreement.
After staying in Changsha for two days, on the 28th, my younger brother and sister had their summer vacation. The family of five drove back to their hometown and paid homage to their ancestors’ graves.
Today is NBA draft day.
The Sonics had a first-round lottery pick No. 11 that was traded in, and eventually used it to select 211-centimeter Carlos Rodgers.
The draft is over and the NBA trade window is open.
Bob Whitsitt quickly made a deal, using Earvin Johnson and the newly acquired Carlos Rogers from the Nets in exchange for the team's backup big man Almon Gilliam.
Gilliam was the second overall pick in 1987. He is 30 years old. He was traded to the Nets by the Warriors last season. He averaged 24 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 51%.
From the data point of view, it is okay to play the main force, but this is the data obtained in the substitute lineup, and the opponent is not strong. If it is in the main lineup, it is difficult to produce such data.
He is 206 centimeters tall and can play the fourth and fifth positions. Although he is not tall enough, he is fully qualified to play as a substitute.
Whitsitt traded Sam Perkins for the Heat's No. 2 backup center Matt Geiger, the Heat's No. 15 pick in the second round of 1992.
This person is 213 centimeters tall, has height, strong defense, and good rebounds. Last season, he had 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 17 minutes, with a shooting percentage of 57.3%.
…
I originally planned to stay in my hometown for two more days, but on the morning of the 29th, I suddenly received a call from Wudang Mountain. Grandpa was dying, so the family hurried to Wudang Mountain.
When the family arrived, the old man had just bid farewell to his grandfather. It was not until he saw them that the old man closed his eyes.
Grandpa was cremated locally, and the family took the ashes back to their hometown for burial.
When Zhou Quan was a child in his hometown, his grandparents were very kind to him. His grandmother has been gone for a few years, and now his grandfather has also passed away. He is very sad when he misses him. He has insomnia at night, tossing and turning, and he is still awake at three in the morning. .
He thought of the sleeping pill technique that his grandpa taught him last year. He had never practiced it since he went down Wudang Mountain. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he might as well practice it and just think of missing his grandpa.
