Chapter 52 Returning Home
"Sister Li, you don't have to be sad. It's not too late now. You are at the most beautiful age in a woman's life. You are about to play the heroine in a movie. Why worry?" Gu Wei comforted her.
"Haha, Gu Wei, you really know how to comfort people." Zeng Li smiled and did not continue the topic.
"Gu Wei, tell me the truth, how did you come up with the idea of becoming a director and making a movie?" Zeng Li asked.
"I just have some ideas in my head occasionally. When I was making a movie, I liked to watch how the director shot it and wonder how I would shoot it if it were me.
Later, I connected some fragmented ideas into a complete story, and I had the idea of making my own movie.
I just did it when I thought of it, and that’s how we ended up in today’s situation, as you can see.” Gu Wei made up a half-truthful story.
"That's great. It shows that although you are young, you have your own ideas and talents to match them." Zeng Li looked at Gu Wei and said with a little admiration.
"I can't say about talent, but I'm sure he's rich and wealthy." Gu Wei thought and smiled.
"What talent? I just did what I wanted to do."
Gu Wei and Zeng Li were talking happily, and before they knew it, they had finished a bottle of wine.
After the dinner, Gu Wei gentlemanly sent Zeng Li home and returned to the hotel himself.
At home in the evening, Zeng Li was thinking about today's dinner. She originally wanted to thank Gu Wei for letting her play the leading female role.
Later, the two of them got along more and more, and she was also attracted by Gu Wei's charm, but she only regarded Gu Wei as a talented younger brother.
After all, she was born in 1976 and is already 37. Gu Wei, on the other hand, hasn't even graduated from university yet and is a true post-90s.
I was still sighing in my heart, this little brother is so talented.
There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, and the early preparations for the film have basically come to an end. We are just waiting for the launch conference after the Chinese New Year.
Gu Wei packed up his things and prepared to go home.
Bincheng is not far from Beijing, and the flight takes about 2 hours.
Gu Wei took a short nap in the first-class cabin and then the plane landed.
The winter in the north is still cold. Gu Wei walked out of the airport wearing a black long down jacket, pulling a simple suitcase, and wearing a confidential three-piece suit - a mask, a baseball cap, and sunglasses.
"Son, here~"
From a distance, Gu Wei saw his mother waving, and his father was standing beside her. Although he was not as excited as his mother, he was also smiling.
I didn’t go home during this summer vacation because I was filming a movie, and it has been a year since I last saw my parents.
No wonder his parents came to the airport to pick him up.
Gu Wei pulled the suitcase and walked over quickly.
As soon as the mother saw him, she took Gu Wei's arm and looked him up and down.
"Son, you must have suffered a lot outside this year. You've lost so much weight!"
In the eyes of a mother, if she hasn’t seen her child for a while, the child will definitely be thinner when they meet again.
Dad looked at Gu Wei happily and said
"Why are you thin? I think you look much more energetic."
"Mom, Dad is right. I haven't lost weight. I eat and drink well every day. If I hadn't paid attention to exercise, I would be so fat now." Gu Wei said with a smile.
Mother Gu asked a few questions about their well-being, and then the three of them got in the car and headed home.
"Son, you came back so late. How many days can you stay at home during the New Year?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"Mom, there's a new movie coming out in Beijing, and I'm going to play the leading role again.
I have a lot of things to do, so I may not be able to stay at home for a few days. I will go back after the New Year." Gu Wei said apologetically.
"You're leaving after the New Year. Can't you stay home for a few more days?" It turned out that when Gu Wei was not out filming, his mother hoped that he would achieve success in his career in the future.
Now that my career has developed and I'm busy, it's a pity that my mother can't stay at home for more time during the holidays.
"Okay, Gu Wei has important matters to attend to. What difference does it make if I stay one day longer or one day less?"
Gu Wei's father said while driving.
"Gu Wei, you don't have to listen to your mother. Work is the most important thing."
"I know, Dad."
Gu Wei returned home and had a good rest for two days.
He never goes out, not even downstairs. Every day he watches TV series and eats snacks, and of course, the delicious food that Gu Ma makes for him.
Mother Gu also made delicious food for Gu Wei in different ways, and she was very happy to see him eating with relish.
At dinner, the family of three ate and chatted. Gu Wei's father asked him about some things about filming, while Gu Wei's mother was more interested in his life at school.
Mother Gu poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Gu Wei. "Son, you have been studying outside for a year and a half. Do you have a girlfriend?" Mother Gu asked curiously.
"I don't have a girlfriend, Mom." Gu Wei didn't care. He picked up the bowl to drink the soup and answered absentmindedly.
"Really? My son is so handsome and he's a big star now. There are so many pretty girls in your school, don't you like him?" Mother Gu looked doubtful.
"Mom, I'm busy filming and studying, so I don't have time for a relationship.
I really don’t have a girlfriend now.
"If I ever have a girlfriend, I'll tell you first," Gu Wei replied. He didn't plan to tell his family about the entertainment industry. It was enough for them to know he was successful; nothing else mattered. In his parents' eyes, Gu Wei would always be their good son.
"Don't worry about it. Gu Wei is in this line of work, so he should work hard on his career while he's still young. There will be no time to waste when he falls in love.
Besides, the child is older now and has his own ideas. He can take care of his own affairs, so you don’t have to worry about him.” Dad said to Gu Ma from the side.
"I'm just concerned about him." Mother Gu muttered softly.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, there's something I've always wanted to tell you.
"I opened a film and television company in Beijing. Last year's film, 'The Blade of the Assassin,' also had an investment in my own company. Now that the film is a big hit, I've made some money," Gu Wei said slowly.
"Where did you get the money to start a company?" The parents were very surprised when they heard this, and Gu Ma asked.
"Mom, do you still remember the 300,000 you gave me last year?"
"Remember, your father also knows about this. Aren't you going to use the money to give a gift to the director?" asked Mrs. Gu.
"Well, I originally wanted to give it as a gift, but then I saw a domain name online and bought it for 300,000. A few months later, a large Internet company in Beijing contacted me and bought the domain name for 30 million." Gu Wei said lightly.
Gu Wei's parents looked at each other and asked, "Son, are you serious?" Mother Gu couldn't believe it.
"There's nothing to lie about. I still have the domain name transfer contract in my hand, and I can show it to you." Gu Wei could understand his parents' surprise.
Gu Wei's family has some assets. His father started his career when he was young and it took him many twists and turns to open the factory.
Later, in order for the factory to gain a foothold in the market, I put in a lot of effort inside and outside. I had to manage and supervise the production in the factory and deal with the customers outside.
After more than 20 years of hard work to build up a small family business, Gu Wei's father is very proud that he can provide a good living environment for his wife and children.
But Gu Wei's father has worked for so many years and has not earned a total of 30 million!
