Chapter 544 Positive and Healthy Guidance
"Uncle Jiang?"
Shen Ci blinked doubtfully, looked at her mother and asked, "He asked to come here on his own initiative?"
Based on my understanding of my mother, she is not someone who would actively invite Uncle Jiang to visit our home. The main reason is that Uncle Jiang's social status would bring pressure and a sense of distance to others.
This also applies to herself. Although she has a good relationship with Uncle Jiang and would even take the initiative to ask Uncle Jiang for help when encountering problems, she still maintains respect and a sense of propriety in her heart. She will never underestimate the huge difference in their status because of their interactions and Uncle Jiang's attitude towards her.
She has always been aware of this. Although she is "God's darling", she also knows clearly that she is not the richest person in the world, or even the richest person in Longcheng. In terms of wealth and status, she is not arrogant. There are many big people who are much more powerful than her, so she always reminds herself to keep a low profile and awe.
There are "plug-ins", but they are not omnipotent "plug-ins".
"Didn't he get sick with a fever a while ago? I happened to see him going to the hospital alone to get an IV drip that day, so I took care of him." Shen Jingjing explained calmly, "After he recovered from his illness, he kept thinking about treating me to a meal to thank me. I said, then don't go out to eat. He likes my cooking, so why not come over to my house?"
Chen Ci laughed when he heard this: "You've actually made Uncle Jiang owe you another favor. He wanted to thank you, but you've been busying yourself. This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall alone will take nearly two days to stew."
Shen Jingjing didn't care: "Oh, it's not a big deal. I just thought that he always eats out, and it's not as good as at home."
Shen Ci did not intend to interfere with the party arranged by her mother and Uncle Jiang. She immediately reminded her mother, "But I won't be back tomorrow night. Shi Ye has invited me to dinner."
"Is that the boy from Longda who is pursuing you now?" Shen Jingjing asked.
Shen Ci nodded.
"Do you like it? Do you want to talk about it?" Shen Jingjing asked again.
Shen Ci did not hide it: "I like it very much, we should talk about it."
Shen Jingjing nodded when she heard this. She didn't give much advice on her daughter's relationship issues, and it all depended on her daughter's preferences. But as a mother, she did not forget to remind her: "Young people are hot-tempered and impulsive. You must take protective measures for yourself."
"I know." Chen Ci was at a loss for words and asked, "Have you told A Li this?"
"I said it once." Shen Jingjing covered her mouth and laughed, "I thought it was just a reminder from a mother to her daughter, something quite important and normal. After all, Ah Li is grown up. But I just said it, and she blushed, and quickly told me to stop!"
Shen Ci also smiled, already having an image of A Li being shy in her mind.
My younger sister is introverted and relatively conservative, but my mother never neglects to provide them with sex education, safety reminders and scientific popularization just because these words are too private and explicit.
Because in the mother's view, although this topic is obscure, it is not shameful, and it is also a necessary growth process for every girl. If parents can guide their children correctly, the children will look at these issues from a positive and healthy perspective.
"Ali is like this." Chen Ci said with a smile: "Also, don't look at our family where you start a business and I invest. In fact, Ali is the most career-oriented. Maybe she will have to fall in love very late."
"And they say that once someone is gifted in one area, they're bound to have flaws in another. Ah-Li is such a talented actress, but maybe she's emotionally insensitive or just a little bit clueless."
Shen Jingjing listened, her face softly lit up: "I don't restrict you from dating, including getting married and having children in the future. I don't care about these things. I just hope you can be happy and keep doing what you want to do. Let everything else take its course."
"It's almost November now, and Ali's drama should be wrapping up soon. I wonder how long I can stay back after filming."
Jinghai City, a red-eye flight landed at twelve o'clock in the morning.
At the VIP channel, Apan came out first with the luggage, and Xiaoyun walked behind with Chenli. Because it was a last-minute trip and a red-eye flight in the late night, there were no fans to pick them up at the airport.
But even so, Chen Li, wearing a baseball cap, was recognized by passers-by as soon as she appeared.
"Ah, Chen Li?" A pretty girl in her early twenties exclaimed, but she politely kept her distance. "Is it really Chen Li? I'm your fan. Aren't you on the set? Why are you in Jinghai?"
Chen Li smiled as she walked over and replied, "Come over to meet Director Li An and audition for a role."
"Ah!" the girl exclaimed, covering her mouth. "Then Ah Li, you have to keep working hard. Director Li An's films are all award-winning. You can definitely do it."
"Thank you, it's late, please be careful when you are alone." Chen Li reminded.
The girl asked cautiously, "Can we take a picture together, Ali?"
Xiaoyun subconsciously glanced at Chen Li. The company's assistants had to undergo training before taking up their posts, and one of the training items was that if the artist encountered such a situation, as long as they gave them a look, they would refuse on the artist's behalf.
But Chen Li was obviously not such an artist. She responded without resistance: "Of course, let's go to the brighter place in front."
She is always like this, never refusing fans' requests as long as it is convenient.
Afterwards, they boarded the pre-arranged business car. After the car door closed, Xiaoyun said, "Sister Kuan said she and the director have an appointment to have breakfast and chat at the hotel restaurant tomorrow morning. She reminded you not to wear makeup. Director Li An likes to see actors in their natural, bare-faced state when he interviews them."
Shen Li nodded while looking at the script in her hand.
"Ali, are you nervous?" Xiaoyun asked.
Chen Li raised her head, took a deep breath, and nodded without disguising: "Nervous."
Director Li An is an internationally renowned director. Having the opportunity to audition for his play is an opportunity that all actors dream of, and I really want to be selected.
She is never modest when it comes to roles. If she wants one, she wants it and will try her best to get it.
So she has read the script in her hand several times since Sister Kuan sent it to her.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Kuan is here too. She also said that it was Director Li An who took the initiative to meet you offline this time. He is very interested in you."
"It's not that I'm afraid, in fact, I'm more excited than nervous." Chen Li smiled: "But I can always feel more at ease with Sister Kuan around. All I can do is do my best and leave the rest to fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard A Pan's light snoring from the passenger seat.
The two were stunned, and then they laughed.
"You've all been working hard lately. Have a good rest tonight. You don't have to get up too early tomorrow. I can go find Sister Kuan by myself."
