Chapter 413 Growing Up
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Gu Siqing's TV series "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" begins airing on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. This is because this TV series is different from other TV series, it is humorous and closer to life.
During the Chinese New Year, there was a happy TV series that made everyone happy, so it was very popular and had a high viewership rating on the first day of its broadcast.
Almost everyone associated with Gu Siqing would be watching the show at 8 o'clock every night. Zhou Guoyuan's name suddenly became known to many people. Even Qu Anyi, who played a supporting role, was asked for her autograph whenever she went out.
Just then, Qu Anyi called and said, distressedly, "Now, everyone in our compound greets me when they see me. It's so enthusiastic that it's unbearable. Today, I went out with my mom to buy New Year's goods, and we went to your Guangming Supermarket. The salesperson recognized me right away. She called out, and a bunch of people gathered around to stare at me. At that time, I felt like a monkey."
Gu Siqing laughed out loud, "Classmate Qu Anyi, this is just the beginning. If you become a big star in the future, it will be inconvenient for you to go out."
"Alas, being famous is also very troublesome!" Qu Anyi said in a pinched voice. After hearing this, Gu Siqing spat at her, "Virtue!"
The two laughed and chatted for a while before hanging up. Just as they hung up, Zhou Guoyuan called again. He said, "I thought the response would be good, but I didn't expect it to be this good. Siqing, are you really not planning to make 'Whose Youth Isn't Reckless' into a TV series? I read your book, and I think it would be quite good."
"No." Gu Siqing said decisively, and then she said: "You are famous now, there will be plenty of opportunities to film, right?"
"Yes, the factory has contacted me and asked me to take on a TV series. I'm still hesitating." Zhou Guoyuan said.
Gu Siqing understood what he meant. It was nothing more than making films for the studio without making any money. When making films at a studio, you were paid a monthly salary, and at most, if the film was good, you'd get a bonus of one or two hundred yuan.
It was nothing like filming "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled" and getting a profit of 90,000 yuan right away. Therefore, he also wanted to film Gu Siqing's book.
"How about this? You pick out some scripts, and if you find one that's suitable, I'll invest." Gu Siqing said. Zhou Guoyuan has the ability to do this. As long as the script is good, the film will be good.
"Okay, then I'll pick out some books carefully." Zhou Guoyuan knew that Gu Siqing was rich and she was surrounded by rich people, so he was not worried about funding issues.
Gu Siqing hung up the phone, and Han Zhengping came over. He had been busy these past two days, and they hadn't seen each other for two days. After entering the room, he smiled at her and said, "Congratulations, great writer."
Gu Siqing bowed, "Congratulations!"
Then the two of them laughed.
"If you have nothing to do, let's go to the Forbidden City?" Han Zhengping said as he sat next to her.
Gu Siqing was naturally fine. She went back to her room, put on her down jacket, and went out with him. When they reached the door, they saw a gray car parked there. She asked, "Is this yours?"
"Home." Han Zhengping said as he opened the passenger door for her.
Gu Siqing got in, waited for him to get in, and asked, "When did you get your driver's license?"
"I took the test in the US, so it works here too." Han Zhengping started the car and said, "Open the storage box in front of you."
Gu Siqing stretched out her hand to open it, and saw that it was filled with snacks. She took out a bag of dried fruit, tore it open, took out a piece from it, and put it to his mouth. Han Zhengping opened his mouth and ate it, his heart beating a little faster.
In fact, Xiao Si often fed him like this before, but at that time Xiao Si was young and he didn't have any other thoughts. But now, Xiao Si is older, no longer the little girl she used to be. Now, every time they have close contact, his heart can't help but beat faster.
"Is it a bit sour?" Gu Siqing asked after eating a piece of dried kiwi.
"Oh, it's a little sour." In fact, he didn't feel what the taste was at all. When Xiao Si asked, he felt it and found that it was indeed a little sour.
Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Gu Siqing asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, I was thinking about which route would be faster." Han Zhengping made up an excuse.
Gu Siqing didn't care. She took a bag of biscuits, opened it, took out another piece and fed it to him, then started eating. As she ate, she said, "Sanjing will participate in the Olympics next year. I guess you still can't go. I will take more pictures and send them to you. I heard that there are many interesting places in Korea."
Han Zhengping nodded. School had already started at that time, so he really didn't have time.
As they were talking, they arrived at the Forbidden City and bought tickets to go in. Han Zhengping, carrying a bag filled with snacks and a water bottle, and a camera in his hand, took pictures of Gu Siqing from time to time, attracting the attention of other tourists. Gu Siqing couldn't help but smile. Han Zhengping was a very qualified boyfriend.
Taking the snacks from his hand, Gu Siqing asked him with a smile, "Are you tired?"
Han Zhengping shook his head. "I'm not tired. I'll take a few more photos for you later and take them to be developed tomorrow."
It seems that he is really not tired and is still thinking about taking more photos.
The two spent the afternoon in the Forbidden City, had dinner outside, and watched a movie together before Han Zhengping sent him home. Seeing how late it was, Gu Jianguo worried it might be unsafe for him to drive back, so he said, "Why don't you stay here instead?"
Han Zhengping naturally agreed to this suggestion and called home to say that he would not go back.
Wang Yueju asked the nanny to clean up the guest room and then went back to her room to rest. Seeing Gu Jianguo, she said, "You are already four years old and will go to college next year. We can't be together like we were when we were little. It's okay to be together during the day, but we can't play so late at night anymore."
Gu Jianguo thought about it and felt that this made sense, so he said, "I'll talk to Zhengping about it tomorrow."
"Xiu Wan mentioned to me a few days ago that she wanted to arrange marriages for the two children after Xiao Si goes to college." Wang Yueju said, "But I always feel that Xiao Si is too young. Although he will go to college next year, he will only be sixteen next year."
"That's not certain. Let's wait until they grow up a little bit." Gu Jianguo said.
As Wang Yueju made her bed, she said, "Although people used to get married at sixteen or seventeen in the village, that was in the past. Kids nowadays haven't experienced hardship, haven't gone through anything, and are immature. Who knows if things will change in the future?"
Gu Jianguo felt that his wife was right, so he said, "Then let's wait until Xiao Si graduates."
"I think so."
The next day, Han Zhengping also had breakfast at Gu's house. After breakfast, Gu Jianguo called him aside and said, "Zhengping, you and Xiaosi have grown up. You should be more careful when playing together."
Han Zhengping was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately said: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I know."
After all, this was a child he had watched grow up, so Gu Jianguo trusted him. He patted his shoulder and went to work.
