Chapter 130 Entrusted by Someone

Yao Fanghua was surprised that Yu Qingqing went to Gangcheng. No wonder Weimin hasn't been going to the Great World recently.

He has feelings for her, but she doesn't reciprocate; what can be done? We can only hope that Yao Weimin can let go of this relationship as soon as possible. Yao Fanghua asked the sales manager to assign Yao Weimin more work recently, to prevent him from overthinking.

After finalizing the advertising deal, Wu Peng returned to Shenzhen.

When Wu Peng returned to Shenzhen, Yao Weimin made a special trip to find him for drinks.

"You're quite the sentimental guy, aren't you?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to know if she was doing well. Brother-in-law, please don't laugh at me."

“Okay, I’ll go to Hong Kong when I go there. Don’t worry, you’ve already made it all the way to Hong Kong, they’re more capable than you, what’s there to worry about? Focus on your work, you’re not getting any younger, find someone suitable and settle down.”

Yao Weimin just lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Wu Peng shook his head and sighed. This kid used to be quite lively, but he's been badly hurt by Yu Qingqing these past few years. Everyone fell silent and became composed.

Entrusted by Yao Weimin, Wu Peng went to Gangcheng and made a special trip to Da Beitou Entertainment Company.

"Boss Wu, what brings you here?" The man with the slicked-back hair was even more enthusiastic than before when he saw Wu Peng. Look at this couple, one is out there expanding their territory, and the other is at home maintaining the status quo. Bah, that's not maintaining the status quo, that's a strong support system! If he had that kind of support, he would have already started doing whatever he wanted, and he would have gotten involved in any business that caught his eye.

"It's been a while, so I came to see you." Wu Peng offered a cigarette to the man with the slicked-back hair. "How have you been lately? Made a fortune?"

The man with the slicked-back hair told his assistant to quickly serve him some tea.

"What big fortune? I can't possibly be as rich as you!" The slick-back-haired man lit a cigarette. "I really don't have your foresight. I should have followed you into real estate." Now, it's so hard to even squeeze in. He really should have bought in at the bottom of the market back then; he could have saved decades of hard work. Before, Wu Peng was just a small business owner to him, with a factory in Shenzhen and barely any assets. But after buying up real estate at the bottom a few years ago, and then building and selling properties in the last two years, his assets have multiplied many times over.

Wu Peng: "You, always looking at other mountains while occupying this one, how can all the money end up in your pocket? How can all the money belong to the Xu family?" Entertainment companies don't make money? Jewelry companies don't make a fortune? In Wu Peng's view, they all make a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't have invested in making movies and TV series.

The man with the slicked-back hair smiled and said, "So, what brings you here today? Did President Yao send you?"

It's really bizarre. The advertisement was already arranged. Lily was eventually cast as the female lead, but she complained about the mainland Chinese product and refused to film it, saying it would lower her image and damage her reputation if the product had problems. She wouldn't do it no matter how much money was offered. Hsu Tsung-wei was speechless. Would he harm her? Wouldn't he do his due diligence before accepting an advertisement? He's overthinking things; he must have lost his mind.

Originally, because of the high price and the harsh contract terms, he specifically rejected the female celebrity originally chosen by Yao Fanghua and recommended Lily, who was relatively innocent from beginning to end. Unexpectedly, although she was innocent, she was also brainless.

After being scolded by him, the person simply claimed to be sick the next day. This infuriated him.

If you don't want to take pictures, fine, there are plenty of other people who want to!

When Yao Fanghua received his call and heard that he was going to change the actress again, she immediately agreed to the change after learning the reason, as it was a two-way selection process. She even said that if he couldn't find a suitable person, she would hire a female celebrity from mainland China.

Yes, there had to be a suitable one. He assured Yao Fanghua that he would definitely find someone she was satisfied with. He refused to believe that he could find another oddball. So he announced the search for the advertising lead actress, and anyone in the company who was interested could apply. He would then screen them. The selected actresses would then be given to Yao Fanghua to choose from.

Just as they were talking about the advertisement, Yu Qingqing brought in tea.

The man with the slicked-back hair paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Qingqing, come and meet President Wu. Let me introduce you. This is Yu Qingqing, my newly signed artist. She's a really good singer and dancer."

This is Mr. Wu, the general manager of Huapeng Real Estate, and also the husband of the owner of Huazhong Technology. You want to film that advertisement, right? Please ask Mr. Wu; it's guaranteed to be done."

Yu Qingqing: "Hello, Mr. Wu."

Wu Peng quickly stopped him, "No, no, no, you know I'm afraid of my wife, how could I dare to make decisions about her?"

The man with the slicked-back hair waved for Yu Qingqing to leave, saying, "Look how scared you are! Don't you have any dignity as a man in public? I haven't invited you for drinks and karaoke as often these past two years."

Wu Peng shrugged. "My wife said that if I go there once, she will go there once. If I dare to support a woman, she dares to support a man."

Big Back Hair: "...You can say that to me, but don't ever tell my wife that." Big Back Hair sighed, "Marrying a capable wife really has its advantages and disadvantages."

Wu Peng made a closure gesture, "Okay, I just came to see you. I have other things to do today. Let's have dinner together another day. Our kids will be starting elementary school soon, and they might even be in the same class. I'll bring the kids over later so they can get to know each other beforehand."

The second son of the slick-back-haired boy is the same age as Wu Wenxin and Jiang Ming. Wu Peng and the slick-back-haired boy also attend the same elementary school, so the children might actually end up in the same class. The three children met once when their parents took them to visit the school.

When his son came home, he looked a little upset. When asked, he wouldn't say anything, only that everything was fine, and then locked himself in his room to read. Kids' faces change quickly, especially his son. Because of his intelligence from a young age, he always seemed out of place among his peers, never having any real playmates, and sometimes even being ostracized. His greatest hobby since childhood was reading. The old man with the slicked-back hair felt a surge of pride, as if the Xu family had finally produced a cultured person. Thanks to his second son's intelligence, he now had some standing in front of his grandfather. However, his son also seemed to have developed a passion for physical exercise lately.

“Okay, let’s not reschedule. This weekend, bring your child to my house. I’ll have him take good care of his younger siblings.” He had been wanting to find playmates for his son for a long time, and Xu Zongwei became quite talkative when talking about his second son. “Putting everything else aside, my son has been smart since he was little, and he doesn’t have any other hobbies except reading. You know, I’ve always been restless, especially when reading. My mind is always wandering off to play, and I got a lot of beatings for that when I was little. But I never expected that my son would do so well. He’s already finished second and third grade, so if your daughter and nephew have any questions, they can just ask him. He hasn’t had many playmates since he was little, so it would be great if he could play with your daughter and nephew.” He’s been buying some toys to fill the house these past few days, hoping that a room full of new and interesting toys can help his son keep his two little playmates together.

Wu Peng knew Xu Zongwei was showing off. His toothache and twitching lips made him understand Yao Fanghua's feelings about wanting Jiang Ming to change his surname. He couldn't brag about someone who wasn't his biological son! He just wondered who was better, his child or Jiang Ming.

“Okay, I’ll take them there this weekend. It’ll be a good opportunity for them to exchange ideas about their studies.”

Wu Peng was also taken aback; he hadn't expected that even after meeting all the requirements for primary school admission, there would still be an entrance exam. He was already prepared to pay for Wu Wenxin's admission.

Wu Peng came out from the slick-haired guy's place and had just gotten into the car when the car door was opened again.

It is Yu Qingqing.

Yu Qingqing lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Brother Peng, it's been a long time."

Can I talk to you?

Wu Peng nodded, gesturing for her to sit down.

Yu Qingqing was overjoyed.
