Chapter 137 The Visitor and Dai Qingyue Eat...

The atmosphere when having dinner with Dai Qingyue was very good and we had a pleasant conversation. But when Xu Hong came, the atmosphere became a little weird.

Xu Hong has been in a very good mood recently, and she was naturally even happier when Xu Qingye asked her out. However, when she saw Xu Qingye and Shen Que coming in hand in hand, Xu Hong's smile froze on her face.

Although she already knew this, she found it hard to accept Xu Qingye walking in hand in hand with someone so directly, but she had to smile.

"Come on, take a seat. I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered some signature dishes. See if there's anything else you want to eat and add some more."

Xu Hong wanted to get closer to Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye was more capable than she thought. It was all thanks to Xu Qingye that she was able to stand on the award podium again this time.

Xu Hong wanted to express herself more, but she felt uncomfortable seeing him and Shen Que kissing each other.

Speaking of Shen Que alone, he is indeed an outstanding person, but if this person is her son's boyfriend, then all his excellence will be dimmed and she will not like this person at all.

"How long have you been together?"

Xu Hong asked casually. It has been nearly three years since Xiao Yang first saw Xu Qingye and Shen Que together. Looking at the two of them, Xu Hong knew it would not just be kissing and hugging. The more she looked at Shen Que, the more she disliked him. Where on earth did this little vixen come from?

"Why are you asking this? Don't worry about these useless things. Don't want these dishes, replace them with these."

Xu Qingye looked at the menu and explained to the waiter that all the dishes Xu Hong ordered were things Shen Que didn't like, so he changed them.

"Can't I even care about you for a moment? Even if we're just ordinary friends, can't I care about your love life?"

Xu Hong felt a little sad. She knew she couldn't do anything about it, but she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"This is my personal privacy, it's not convenient to say more. I came here today to congratulate you on winning the award. Just talk about you. Don't talk about me all the time. I've made a simple work plan for you and sent it to Xiao Yang. You can study it later. Take advantage of the popularity of "Blooming" and accept more advertising endorsements. Don't accept movies for now, just maintain the output of one per year. For TV series and the like, you can guest star in a few if you are interested, but don't shoot too many. Also, since you have chosen to return to your family, then show more of the beauty of your life and don't be too active in your work. You have been too eager to work in the last few interviews, and some people are already speculating whether you are unhappy in your marriage."

Xu Qingye talked a lot about work, but Xu Hong didn't seem to take it seriously. She might have been happy in the past, but now she wasn't happy at all.

In the past, she ignored Xu Qingye and sometimes even thought that it would be better if she had not given birth to her.

But now, Xu Qingye doesn't want her anymore, and she feels panic again. She wants to save the precarious family relationship. Unfortunately, what is missed is ultimately hard to recover, and the only connection between them is the little blood relationship.

The meal was tasteless, and finally, Xu Hong couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Ye, you always wanted to know about your father. Now,

Xu Hong had just opened her mouth to speak when she was interrupted by Xu Qingye.

"I really wanted to know before, but now there's no need. Our relationship has become like this, why should I know who that person I've never met is? I won't miss anyone who abandons me. We've finished our meal and talked about work, so we'll leave now. We have a flight tomorrow morning, so we need to go back and rest early."

"Your father didn't abandon you. I didn't tell him about your existence. He's a good man. Don't hate him. Since you don't want to know, I won't tell you. Just take good care of yourself."

Xu Hong stood up and explained that even if Xu Qingye no longer wanted to know about his father, she didn't want him to have any resentment towards him.

Xu Qingye paused and looked back at Xu Hong. There were many versions of stories about her past on the Internet, from after-dinner conversations to tabloid reports, but none of them seemed to be clear.

Xu Qingye's feelings for her are very complicated. They are bound by blood, but they are so cold to each other emotionally.

Putting aside these relationships, he admired Xu Hong, a woman who ran away from such a family and reached her current position step by step. She was determined and strong. After so many years in the storms, she still spread her wings and flew high.

Too many beauties from his era have passed away, but she can still sing rock songs and pursue her dreams on the big screen with a group of young men and women. Xu Qingye sometimes thinks that if Xu Hong had not given birth to this child, her life might have been smoother.

What was she thinking when she chose to be with him? At least at that moment, she loved him.

Xu Qingye nodded at Xu Hong as a response to her. After all, the love between parents and children is not a bond, and everyone has their own life to live.

Shen Que started to get busy as soon as he returned to China. Xu Qingye followed him for a few photo shoots and then slipped back to the studio.

He really can't stand hardship.

Xu Qingye was in the office, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking coffee. Opposite him was Li Wei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Li Wei was sitting there with her legs crossed, a smug look on her face. It seemed that she was having a good time recently.

Xu Qingye put down the cup and opened a PPT with Li Wei's name on it.

"Hey, why did you make everyone into a PowerPoint? It feels so weird."

Li Wei watched her information turn into various data in the PPT. She felt as if she had been turned into a commodity. Although this was indeed the essence, it still felt a little weird looking at the strings of data.

"Whether you prefer documents or spreadsheets, I can edit them. I'm just more used to making PPTs."

Xu Qingye answered casually and turned to the back of the PPT, which contained some recent data.

"What a boring joke. Anyway, what can you understand from these data? And your data looks so bad. Is it really my data?"

Li Wei turned around and leaned on the back of the chair to look at the big screen. The data listed by Xu Qingye were much worse than what she knew, and looked a bit ugly.

"The Emperor and the Assassin" has been very popular since the reshoot with a new cast. Li Wei strongly requested that all the highlight clips in the center that originally belonged to the female lead be changed back, and the effect was very good after it was broadcast.

Because the production was poor, the male lead was chosen by the audience vote, so the male lead was very cooperative and the whole script was more harmonious than ever before.

The data exploded after the show was aired, perhaps because the early stages were quite chaotic and there were some bad things before, so everyone's expectations for the show were lowered. But after it was actually aired, it became really good.

Li Wei made a comeback in ancient idol drama with this drama, and this time, no one would say that she was a big shot who only supported newcomers.

After the small success of "The Emperor and the Assassin", Li Wei followed Xu Qingye's advice and calmed herself down. She played a supporting role in a Republican drama, and unexpectedly, this role became a hit because of her cheongsam style.

The scripts that Li Wei has received recently are all good. Although they are not big productions, they are of very good quality.

She came to see Xu Qingye this time to keep in touch with him, and also to hear more of Xu Qingye's suggestions.

"These are all dehydrated data, so they may look a bit ugly. Although I can't guarantee that they are 100% correct, they are pretty close. Big data won't lie. Whether the show is effectively broadcast or not can be seen from the subsequent data."

Xu Qingye took a look at the data. Li Wei has been in good form recently, with many active fans and strong spending power.

"You tell me, should I take this opportunity to transform myself into an actor? I've been getting a lot of compliments on my acting skills lately, and I feel like I've gotten a little too cocky."

Li Wei touched her chin. Most of the compliments her fans gave her before were about her cool looks and pretty face. Although it was pleasing to look at, it was a bit empty after all, as if she had nothing else except this face.

Most of the recent reviews are praising her acting skills. Every time I see them, I can't help but chuckle a few times. It feels so happy.

"It would be better if you can make a smooth transition, but you can't just play ancient idol roles for the rest of your life. However, your acting skills still need to be honed. Have you considered the acting variety show I mentioned to you before? I see that the variety show has been reported, so it should be in preparation."

Xu Qingye nodded. He took out his mobile phone and searched. Sure enough, he had found the official Weibo of the variety show. If there is an official Weibo, can the show be far away?

"I have contacted them, but I haven't received a clear reply yet. Because they have invited several famous directors to be judges, there are many actors who have signed up, so they need to screen them, and I don't know if I can be selected."

Li Wei spread her hands. She was in a very contradictory state of mind, feeling both confident and inferior, so she needed someone to show her the way.

"It should be fine. Variety shows need topics, and you are the topic itself. They won't miss you. They should be able to receive the news soon."

Xu Qingye looked at the discussion about Li Wei. Her popularity has always been high among female stars. She has many works and romances, and everything seems to be related to her.

"How's your relationship going?"

Xu Qingye closed the PPT and asked casually, her relationship with Wen Cheng seemed to be quite delicate, and he didn't know whether they had reconciled or broken up completely.

"Why, are you curious? I told you, you won't see it on the trending search the next second."

Li Wei narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Qingye, doubting his intentions.

"Forget it, I'm busy. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

Xu Qingye rolled his eyes. He shouldn't have said too much.

"Just kidding. Forget it. I can't stand his arrogant look. But I have a new target recently. This time I want to find a young brother. Young brothers are good. They are full of blood, enthusiastic and cheerful. They don't know anything and can only work hard. It's beautiful just to think about it."

"Puff——" Xu Qingye choked on a mouthful of coffee. He wiped it quickly and gave Li Wei a thumbs up. She really was in love forever.

"Someone is looking for me."

As the two were talking, Cao Mu'an came over and knocked on the door. Xu Qingye looked outside and saw Dai Qingyue, who was gentle and elegant in a Zhongshan suit.

Dai Qingyue smiled at Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye was a little surprised. He had just returned to China not long ago and he didn't expect Dai Qingyue to come to him so soon.

Xu Qingye's office has a glass door. Li Wei took a curious look and saw Dai Qingyue. She spoke almost subconsciously.

"That's your father, he looks like you."
