Shen Qingli stood in the small room of the cemetery management office, full of doubts. Who was the person who often came to visit her mother?
This question has been lingering in her mind for a long time.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the uniformed staff in front of her, her eyes full of eagerness, "Uncle, can I trouble you with something?"
The staff was stunned by her sudden request, but responded immediately, smiling and nodding, "Please go ahead."
Shen Qingli pursed her lips slightly, choosing her words carefully: "If you see that thing again next time, could you please take a picture of it?"
"I'm really grateful for leaving the contact form for you."
Noticing a flash of doubt in the staff's eyes, she quickly added, "Uncle, I don't mean anything else."
"I have been abroad for the past few years and have not had the opportunity to come back to visit my mother. I have always felt very guilty."
"If I knew someone came to visit me often, I would be very grateful to him and would like to thank him in person."
After hearing her sincere explanation, the staff member relaxed his tense expression and nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll take pictures for you next time I come."
Shen Qingli hurriedly took out his cell phone and quickly left his contact information, muttering: "Thank you so much, uncle, you really helped me a lot."
"You're welcome. It's nothing." The staff member replied with a simple smile.
Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Shen Qingli's thoughts were still deeply trapped in that mysterious mystery.
The street scene outside the window flashed by quickly like a slide show, but she had no interest in appreciating it at all.
When her mother was alive, she didn't have many friends around her. Most of the acquaintances she had in the past also lost contact with her over time. Who on earth would come to visit her mother?
Shen Jinxi beside her was sensitive to her mother's depressed mood. She gently pulled Shen Qingli's clothes with her little hand, and said in a soft voice with worry: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you missing grandma?"
It turned out that Shen Jinnan had just quietly told her that her grandmother had turned into a distant star in the sky, whom she could only gaze at from afar, but could not speak to or hug.
The little girl was full of worries about her mother.
Shen Qingli quickly came back to her senses, squeezed a gentle smile on her face, raised her hand and gently touched Shen Jinxi's head: "Xiaobao, Mommy is fine, don't worry."
As soon as the words fell, the cell phone in the bag rang rapidly, breaking the somewhat solemn atmosphere.
Shen Qingli quickly took out his cell phone and pressed the answer button: "Hello."
Pei Yi's energetic voice instantly poured out from the receiver: "A Li, are you done with your work?"
"Yes, I'm on my way back by bus." Shen Qingli replied.
"Then you bring Dabao and Xiaobao directly to the Mile Restaurant and reserve a table there. After dinner, we'll take them out to have a good time." Pei Yi arranged happily.
"Yeah, okay." After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingli took a deep breath secretly, trying to dispel the gloom in his head.
When Shen Qingli brought Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi into the Mile Restaurant, Pei Yi and Chu Xiaoyu had been waiting for a long time.
Shen Jinxi was sharp-eyed. She spotted them at a glance, immediately broke away from her mother's hand, and hopped over like a happy little deer, shouting, "Aunt, aunt, you are here!"
Pei Yi's face was full of doting. She rushed forward, picked up Shen Jinxi, and kissed her soft face hard: "My little baby, you miss auntie so much! Tell me what you want to eat today, auntie will pay for it!"
"You want to eat ice cream, okay?" Shen Jinxi blinked her big watery eyes, full of anticipation.
"Of course!" Pei Yi agreed without hesitation.
Everyone sat around the table, Pei Yi turned his gaze to Shen Jinnan: "Dabao, what flavor of ice cream do you want?"
Shen Jinnan shook his head seriously: "Thank you, Auntie. I don't want to eat it. Just buy it for my sister."
Pei Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he blinked: "Okay, our Dabao is sensible."
After ordering the dishes, Pei Yi seemed unable to suppress the curiosity in his body. He leaned forward and started talking excitedly: "Ali, Xiaoyu, do you know? When I went home last night, my mother actually relaxed!
"She agreed to let you enter the entertainment industry, but on the condition that you can go to popular media."
Shen Qingli and Chu Xiaoyu looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted!"
Chu Xiaoyu tilted her head and joked with a smile: "Then shouldn't we hurry up and seize the opportunity to get you to sign a few more autographs?"
"When you become famous, autographs will become a rare commodity!"
Pei Yi waved his hand gracefully: "It's no big deal. If you want it, I can sign a thousand of them for you!"
Chu Xiaoyu pretended to be serious and nodded: "Okay, then you must keep it well, maybe you can make a small fortune from it in the future."
Shen Qingli had a faint smile on his face. He picked up the water cup and took a sip. However, his heart was filled with ripples because of the words "Fengxing Media".
Pei Yi was still rambling on: "Do you know? Fengxing Media is the one I mentioned to you yesterday, under Zhou Yanchen's name."
"And Su Xinyao, she makes me feel uncomfortable just by looking at her, she's really good at pretending."
"My mom has to give me this option, or else she'll pack up and send me abroad to study. What do you think I should do?"
As he spoke, his eyes moved back and forth between Shen Qingli and Chu Xiaoyu's faces, searching for an answer.
But Shen Qingli's eyes were a little vague, as if he was lost in thought.
Pei Yi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Ali, what's wrong with you? Did you hear what I just said?"
Shen Qingli suddenly came back to his senses, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he quickly said: "Yes, I'm listening. I'm thinking, Fengxing Media is the leader in Beijing's media industry after all, and the resources at hand are beyond doubt, which will definitely be of great help to your future development."
"If you really love your acting career, don't worry about irrelevant things, ignore things you don't like, and just focus on your own business."
Pei Yi's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his lips raised high: "Oh, my good Ah Li, I still have to rely on you to wake me up at the critical moment!"
"Just do as you say. I'll ignore the things I don't like and go to the interview tomorrow with confidence. Whether I can get the job is another matter. Just try your best first!"
Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi also gave encouragement at the right time: "Auntie, you can definitely do it, come on!"
Pei Yi was enveloped by this warm atmosphere, and a smile spread from his eyes to his entire face: "Thank you, my babies, I will definitely work hard, and I will wait for good news tomorrow!"
On the other hand, the office of Xinyu Group seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Mr. Zhou sat on the sofa, staring at Zhou Yanchen across from him with a sharp gaze. His face was ashen and his voice was as deep as the prelude to a storm: "I heard that you were drunk again last night?"
"Zhou Yanchen, what's wrong with you? When did you become an alcoholic?"
Zhou Yanchen pursed his lips tightly, frowned, and had a deep and dark look in his eyes. He remained silent, but his hands on his knees unconsciously tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "Zhou Yanchen, what's wrong with you?"
"Why do you seem to have changed in the past few years? Xiao Li was just as you wished, but she completely disappeared from your sight. Are you still unhappy about anything?"
