Chapter 106 She Can Do Nothing But Business
The next day, Meng Anran, who should have taken advantage of the weekend to catch up on sleep, got up early and looked at Meng Yushu who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom with a refreshed look.
"Brother, good morning!"
"Good morning." Meng Yushu was stunned for two seconds and asked, "Why are you getting up so early today? Are you going on a date?"
"No, I'm just used to it." Meng Anran lied without blushing or beating her heart. She picked up her toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste into her mouth, and said, "By the way, you're done filming today, right?"
"Well, with three scenes, we have to shoot until the afternoon."
"Then I'll drive you there, and we can have lunch together. I don't have anything to do anyway, and it's boring to be alone at home."
In Meng Yushu's understanding, Meng Rong and Meng Zhen had to go to work, Su Wanman had to open a shop, and Meng Chenghong had to go to Mr. Wu's place. It was indeed only Meng Anran who was at home.
"Don't you need to review?" He was worried that his sister would become obsessed with playing and would want to run outside all day long.
"One day doesn't matter. Let's go to the library to review together on weekends!"
"Okay." Meng Yushu was naturally happy to agree so that she could spend more time with her sister.
After the brother and sister finished washing up, Meng Anran forced Meng Yushu to help her choose clothes, saying: Clothes make the man.
After tidying themselves up, the brother and sister went out and walked to Lihuayuan to pick up the car.
After hearing the door close, the door of the master bedroom quietly opened a crack, and Meng Rong and Su Wanman stuck their heads out like thieves.
"Are we leaving?" Su Wanman asked.
Meng Rong hummed, "There's no sound anymore. He must have gone out."
The door to the second bedroom also opened. Meng Zhen leaned out half of her body and looked around the living room. "Come on, come on, everyone come out."
Mengrong and Su Wanman breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. After living for more than fifty years, preparing a surprise for their son was like committing a thief.
But it's very exciting!
"Mom, let me wash up with you first, and then I'll help you put on makeup." Meng Zhen said.
We are holding a birthday party for Meng Yushu today. His friends and Meng Anran’s friends will all be coming. As family members, we must dress up nicely and not embarrass ourselves.
Meng Chenghong flung open the door and said, "Big sister, can you help me figure out which outfit to wear?"
His second sister gave him several sets of clothes, all of which were very nice, so it was difficult for him to make a decision.
"I'll help you choose later. I'll help mom with her makeup first."
"good."
While the two beauties were putting on makeup and dressing up, Mengrong took his youngest son downstairs to buy breakfast. A man's duty is to serve the ladies of the family well.
Meng Anran did a great job in fulfilling the important task of sending Meng Yushu away. He went to Lihuayuan to get the car and took his brother to the set.
She had to follow Meng Yushu all day today in case Meng Yushu had any sudden changes in schedule that would ruin the surprise birthday party plan.
Driving by themselves is definitely faster than taking the bus for Meng Yushu. It was still early when they arrived at the university where the filming was taking place, so the brother and sister went to the cafeteria to have breakfast first.
Meng Yushu has a tall figure and a fair face. Today she wore a beige turtleneck sweater with black skinny pants, a pair of short boots, and a brown long coat, just like a model walking on the catwalk.
In addition, there was a bright and outspoken girl standing next to him. The combination of handsome man and beautiful woman attracted envious glances from people in the cafeteria.
Perhaps because he was already used to these looks, Meng Yushu ignored them and scanned the food in the cafeteria intently. "What do you want to eat? Fried noodles? Noodle soup? Rice rolls? Or steamed buns and soy milk?"
"Well... fried noodles are too oily, and buns are too choking. You can choose one of the remaining two." Meng Anran hugged her brother's arm and spoke in a particularly coquettish tone.
"Then let's have rice rolls." Meng Yushu said, and took his sister to order two servings of rice rolls, and then went to the stall next door to buy two cups of soy milk.
Meng Yushu chose an empty seat in the corner and sat down, concentrating on eating breakfast.
Meng Anran glanced at the eyes around her, then looked at her brother who had a cold and aloof temperament as if he was out of touch with the world.
"Brother, have you ever thought about applying to drama school and becoming an actor?"
Meng Yushu raised his eyelids and looked at his sister. "I'm studying law and will do legal work for you in the future."
"Why, I don't need you to work for me. Just choose a major you like and do what you like in the future."
Meng Yushu was thoughtful. "I'm different from my sister. She has her own hobbies. Although she made a mistake and chose the wrong major, she is now working hard for the career she loves. I have always studied for the sake of studying. It doesn't matter what major I choose or what job I do."
He has had no hobbies since he was a child, and he doesn't study because he likes it. He just feels that since he is doing this, he must do it seriously, so he has always maintained excellent grades. This is the explanation he gives to himself.
But things are different after high school. He has to choose a major in college and the industry he will work in in the future. To be honest, he doesn't have much idea.
No matter what he studies or does, he will maintain his current mentality. As long as he chooses it, he will do it well, regardless of whether he likes it or not.
"What do you want me to learn?"
If his sister gave him a suggestion, he would learn it. No matter what industry he was in, he always believed that he could do it well as long as he put in the effort and energy.
"Brother, don't you have any interests or hobbies of your own? Or don't you have anything to pursue?" Meng Anran felt unbelievable that Meng Yushu had only done reading for 20 years.
Of course, he is also good at studying and ranks among the top five in the city in every monthly exam.
Meng Yushu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any pursuits?"
Meng Anran was silent for a rare moment.
Born into a merchant family like the Lu family, she has been exposed to business matters since childhood, competing with her two brothers to the death. She has never had the opportunity to stop and think about her own interests and hobbies. She has always been committed to cultivating personal connections and developing industries, wanting to stand higher.
Until now, she has no hobbies. If you ask her if she likes investing, she will admit that she doesn't.
However, as her assets grew, she had to spend time managing them. If she gave up, all her efforts over the past decade would have been in vain.
She decided to choose economics and finance because she knew nothing but business, just like Meng Yushu only knew how to study.
"Brother, if you don't have any hobbies or interests, why not become an actor? You're so handsome and have a talent for acting, so you'd have a lot of advantages in this field."
If you don't have a direction, then choose based on your own strengths, you won't go wrong.
Meng Yushu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I heard that film and television actors are paid quite well. Then I can buy a big house and move my whole family in."
After breakfast, it’s almost time.
There was only one scene this morning, which was filmed in a milk tea shop inside the school. It was the date scene between the male and female protagonists.
Meng Anran sat in the corner so as not to affect the shooting. Since she was in a hurry to go out in the morning, she could also take this time to put on makeup.
Meng Yushu ordered her a cup of milk tea, treated her to a small cake, and asked her to wait patiently.
When she saw the Black Forest cake, Meng Anran knew that her guess was right. Yu Xiaoxiao had indeed inquired about Meng Yushu's financial situation.
While the filming was going on smoothly, there were some problems with the logistics of the birthday party.
