Chapter 229 I Hold a Vulnerable Resentment
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when they came out of the backstage of CCTV. Gu Wei followed Zeng Li back to her residence.
When they arrived at the underground garage of the community, the two got out of Gu Wei's nanny car.
"Master Zhang, please come pick me up tomorrow~"
"Understood, Boss."
Zhang Long has been Gu Wei's driver for three years, 365 days a year, and he has to be on call whenever Gu Wei needs him.
Of course, if Gu Wei joins the crew to film and is not needed, he will be very free from morning to night.
He is a down-to-earth, hardworking, and taciturn person. He just works as required. He doesn't look at or listen to things he shouldn't. He is like a sculpture, and only speaks when he hears orders.
Gu Wei is never stingy with money to the people around him, whether it is his driver Zhang Long or his assistant Yang Dan who has always been with him. Not only do they have high salaries, but they also receive generous bonuses at the end of the year.
Various benefits are also given during holidays, so everyone still loves the boss Gu Wei very much.
Gu Wei is already a top star in this life, and it is very easy for him to make money. Not counting the various incomes from film and television companies, brokerage companies and investment companies, his annual income from his celebrity status alone is equal to the annual profit of a listed company.
In his previous life, he worked for many years after graduation and knew how difficult it was for workers. So after becoming a boss, the employees of his company had the highest salaries and benefits in the industry.
Gu Wei and Zeng Li went upstairs together. After entering the room, Zeng Li found Gu Wei's home clothes and gave them to him.
I went into the inner room and changed into a comfortable and close-fitting purple pajamas.
I tidied myself up simply and tied my hair up so that it would be easier for me to work.
When Zeng Li came out, Gu Wei was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. After leaving CCTV, the number of messages on his WeChat became 99+. Now when he has time to open it, he can see that they are all New Year greetings from some friends in the circle, and some praising his good performance on the Spring Festival Gala.
Reply to messages one by one according to the closeness of the relationship.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Wei turned on the TV in the living room. It was playing Sun Tao's skit "Community Policeman Yu Sankuai" from the Spring Festival Gala.
Sun Tao is a sketch actor that Gu Wei likes very much. His works can be performed on the Spring Festival Gala almost every year. In the final selection, he often wins the second or third prize in the language program. When Zhao Benshan was still performing on the Spring Festival Gala, this result was almost the best that other sketch actors could achieve.
Moreover, Sun Tao is an actor of the General Political Department Repertory Theatre and graduated from the Acting Class of the Drama Department of the PLA Academy of Art.
As a sketch actor well-known to audiences across the country, he is very low-key. Apart from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala every year, he is rarely seen anywhere else.
Zeng Li went straight to the kitchen, took out the dumpling filling and dough that he had prepared earlier, and prepared to make dumplings.
Because of my performance at the Spring Festival Gala this year, I can’t go back to my hometown on New Year’s Eve, but since I’m spending the New Year with Gu Wei, I can’t skip the necessary procedures.
In the evening, the two of them had a boxed lunch backstage at the Spring Festival Gala. They couldn't skip the dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner.
After moving the board and ingredients to the table in the restaurant, Zeng Li, wearing a yellow apron, began to roll out the dough, preparing to make dumplings.
Gu Wei replied to the WeChat message and walked over.
"Let me make dumplings too!"
Seeing Zeng Li busying himself, Gu Wei came over to help. It was okay that he couldn't help with cooking normally, but today he felt that he could still contribute to making dumplings.
"Can you make dumplings?"
Zeng Li asked with some doubt.
Talking to Gu Wei did not delay her work at all. The small rolling pin was wielded very quickly in her hands, and thin dumpling wrappers were rolled out one after another.
"You're underestimating me, aren't you? I can make dumplings, right? It's so easy!"
Gu Wei said confidently.
He said so, but actually he really didn't know how to make dumplings. When he was at home, his parents always made them, and Gu Wei never tried to help. He had no experience in making dumplings at all.
"Well, Sister Li, please make two for me first and show me how. I'm very smart and I learn very quickly."
Hearing what Gu Wei said, Zeng Li laughed. She didn't say anything, but picked up a dumpling wrapper, put an appropriate amount of stuffing in the middle, folded both sides in half and pinched the middle tightly, clamped the two ends of the dumpling with the left and right tiger's mouths, and pinched the edges of the dumpling with her thumbs, and a round belly was pinched out in one go.
Zeng Li gently placed the wrapped dumplings on the round lid and looked at Gu Wei.
"Do you understand?"
"I see, it's very simple!"
Gu Wei was full of confidence and started to try the dough.
Zeng Li stopped paying attention to him upon seeing this and resumed the process of rolling out the dough and making dumplings.
After a while, two completely different kinds of dumplings appeared on the lid. One kind was like a small crescent-shaped ingot with a bulging belly, and they were neatly arranged like soldiers in a row.
There are also some fat and thin ones of different sizes, but they all have one characteristic: they cannot stand up, and each dumpling is lying down.
Looking at the final product, Gu Wei felt a little embarrassed.
"This is my first time. Look at the ones behind me, they are getting better and better. It shows that I still have talent~"
He forced an explanation.
"It's definitely a talent, it's exactly like the one my 6-year-old nephew made!"
Zeng Li said with a smile.
"Sister Li, please stop laughing at me. I'm telling you, even I'm afraid of myself when I get angry!"
Gu Wei said in a vicious tone.
"Oh? I wonder what can happen if you get angry?"
After Zeng Li finished wrapping half of the dumplings, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and said.
Gu Wei put his head close to Zeng Li's ear and whispered something.
Then he looked at her with a smirk on his face.
"How about it, are you scared?"
Zeng Li rolled her eyes at him, and perhaps the hot air from Gu Wei's words blew onto her ears, causing her face to turn slightly red.
"I think about these things every day~
You're so busy today, but you're not tired at all. God knows where you get so much energy?"
Zeng Li picked up the dumplings and was about to take them to the kitchen to cook them when Gu Wei suddenly said:
"Wait~"
Zeng Li stopped and saw Gu Wei stretch out his arm and wipe her nose with his sleeve. It turned out that flour was on the tip of her nose when she wiped the sweat just now.
"Okay, you were just a little cat, but now you're back to being a gorgeous cook."
"Funny~"
Zeng Li ignored him and left with the dumplings.
After wrapping the dumplings, Gu Wei went to the bathroom to wash his floury hands and sat on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
After a while, the hot dumplings came out of the pot.
Because of Zeng Li's eating habits, the dumplings were filled with leeks and eggs. Gu Wei didn't mind it. He happened to like leeks very much. He heard that leeks were aphrodisiac, so eating them more often could be considered a food tonic.
The two of them sat at the dinner table, and it was exactly 12 o'clock. Zhu Jun was shouting the countdown on TV. In Chinese tradition, the old is gone and the new is coming.
Gu Wei picked up the red wine glass in his hand.
"Sister Li, in the new year, I wish you good health, beauty and happiness every day!"
"I also wish you great success in the new year and further advancement in your career!"
After saying that, the two of them clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine.
The New Year's bell rang, and the sound of firecrackers outside the building rang out one after another. From the perspective of the two people, the fireworks rising into the sky from all over the city illuminated the black night sky beautifully, and the atmosphere of the New Year was full.
Because it was already midnight, Zeng Li didn't eat many dumplings and drank a glass of red wine. Her fair face was faintly flushed, her long wavy hair had fallen to her shoulders, and she looked at Gu Wei sitting opposite her with a dazed look.
In previous years, she always spent New Year's Eve in her hometown with her family, but she didn't expect that she would be with Gu Wei this year. She might remember everything that happened today for a long time in the days to come.
In a short while, the New Year's Eve dinner was about to end, and the Spring Festival Gala was about to come to an end. The song "Unforgettable Tonight" came from the TV.
Gu Wei looked at the beautiful and charming elder sister in front of him, and felt a burning anger in his heart.
He stretched out his hand to Zeng Li, looking at her intently without saying anything.
Zeng Li looked at Gu Wei's handsome face and somewhat anxious eyes, and of course understood what he meant, so she put one hand on his hand.
Gu Wei stood up and with a gentle pull, Zeng Li fell completely into his arms.
A masculine aura emanated from Gu Wei, and after drinking some wine, Zeng Li became limp like a puddle of mud.
Gu Wei put one arm around her and the other arm down from her hips, and with a little force he lifted her up horizontally.
Zeng Li also took the opportunity to put her arms around Gu Wei's neck.
"Sister Li, I still remember you laughing at me when we were making dumplings just now. Now I want revenge~"
Gu Wei whispered in Zeng Li's ear, kissed her, and then strode towards the bedroom.
