Chapter 442: Money for Life

"It's about your sister. She recently filmed a TV series and played a supporting role. I saw that she was very happy in the role, so I didn't stop her. However, Mr. Xu contacted me recently and said that he wanted Yaya to be the heroine of his new movie. I want to hear your opinion."

"Boss Xu? Doesn't he have a bad relationship with Boss Hu?"

Although Mao Mao didn't pay much attention to this, he still remembered that the last time he was filming, he heard Mr. Hu curse Mr. Xu as a shameless person. In short, the relationship between the two was not good, and they would quarrel with each other every time they met.

"That Mr. Xu is Director Bai's disciple. Director Bai brought him up personally in his early years. Although Mr. Xu's achievements have long surpassed Director Bai's, he still gives Director Bai face in public."

Huang Xinran explained these complicated interpersonal relationships to Maomao: "Director Bai, you know that he and General Manager Hu also have a grudge... In a word, even General Manager Xu and General Manager Hu don't get along very well. Of course, if you want to talk about grudges, they are not that big. Anyway, they just fight each other in public."

Maomao nodded to show his understanding.

"What do you think, Mom?"

"It's just that I have a hard time making a decision, so I told you this and wanted to hear your opinion." As Maomao grew older, her temperament became more stable. Many times, when Lu Yunchen was not at home, she was more willing to listen to Maomao's opinions.

This time, Maomao did not jump to conclusion: "What conditions did the other party put forward?"

"There are no extra conditions. I just want your sister to play the young heroine, and we can film the movie according to your sister's schedule. Her role is not too many, and the performance fee is not bad. Your sister and I are both quite satisfied."

Huang Xinran gave Maomao a number and said, "He also said that if we have any requests, we can ask for them."

"Isn't this price a bit high?"

Maomao was a little confused.

When he played the leading male role in Mr. Hu's drama, his performance fee was almost the same as that of his sister when she played the supporting female role.

If it was less than half, he would think it was normal. But at this price, it is no wonder he would question it.

"I'm not sure what the other person means either."

She was just a supporting actress, and she only had a small part in the young heroine. No matter how you look at it, it was not worth the price. But the other party offered such a high price. It was obvious that there was something wrong.

"Could it be that the drunkard's real interest is not in drinking?"

Maomao asked back.

Huang Xinran was silent.

If the other party is trying to plot something, then it must be related to you.

She couldn't help but think of Director Bai, Uncle Jiang who worked with Director Bai, and Jiang Yurou...

A trace of deep thought flashed across her eyes. Maybe it was true. I just don't know what the other party is playing again? Or what kind of tricks is that Jiang's uncle planning to make again?

Speaking of which, she hadn't heard any news about the Jiang family for a long time. When the Jiang family was suspected of taking drugs, they were arrested one after another, including Jiang Yurou. Not only was she imprisoned, but the TV series she starred in was also removed from the shelves.

In today's film and television industry, Jiang Yurou has long disappeared.

After Jiang Yurou disappeared, Jiang Xiaoshu also gradually became silent. If he hadn't secretly taken action against the three cowboys in Haishi and plotted against them, she would have even forgotten that such a person existed.

Now that Mr. Xu has invited Yaya to participate and offered her a sky-high salary, it seems like he has bad intentions.

"Forget it. Yaya has a wild temper. It's better to let her stay under my nose for the time being. I will ask Mr. Hu to give her a small role later. She doesn't need to take up too much of my time, so that she can be self-sufficient through her own efforts."

It’s not that Huang Xinran doesn’t think highly of Yaya, it’s just that her performance is hard to describe.

If Yaya can pursue a career in acting, going to the acting department in the future is not a solution.

After saying this, Huang Xinran stood up and was about to leave.

Maomao called her and asked, "Do you know a man named Yan Qing?"

"Yan Qing? I do know him. We played opposite each other in a previous scene when Yaya was filming. I was also on the scene and met Yan Qing. He and Yaya went to the same school, so they seemed to have a lot to talk about. Oh, by the way! I heard from the nanny that Yan Qing was here today, too?"

"Well, you're right, he did come. But I feel like he was too good to Yaya. Sometimes he was even better to her than me, her brother."

Better than twin brothers?

Huang Xinran frowned: "I know about this. I will have a good chat with Yaya later."

She left Maomao's room and turned to look at Yaya's room. Yaya's door was ajar, and no one was in the room. Instead, Yaya was chatting happily on the phone in the living room. Huang Xinran could hear Yaya's happy laughter from time to time.

Huang Xinran looked for a long time before returning to the house.

Lu Yunchen hadn't come back yet. This time he seemed to have been away for a long time to discuss business. Huang Xinran didn't know exactly how long, but it felt like a long time.

She picked up the extension in the master bedroom, but hesitated to decide whether to eavesdrop.

In fact, she has always believed that children should be given enough private space and secrets. But judging from what Yaya said, she may have already fallen in love.

She had clearly picked up the microphone, but in the end, she put it down.

Forget it, I'd better just ask her directly.

After Yaya hung up the phone, Huang Xinran called Yaya and asked about the person on the other end of the phone.

"It's Brother Yan Qing! He's the boy who was waiting for you at home before you came back. He's in the high school department, and Maomao knows him. What's the matter, Mom, why are you suddenly asking about Yan Qing? Are you planning to introduce a role to him? However, I think you'd better not get your hopes up. He won't take any role, he's very picky."

"Don't worry, I know he's picky."

Huang Xinran also secretly relaxed after hearing these words. As long as Yaya didn't get involved, everything would be fine.

Huang Xinran contacted Mr. Hu and asked about the cooperation between Yan Qing and Yaya Maomao. The three cowboys sent a large sum of money. This money was the bonus from selling wild mushrooms in the past few months.

"This is the share for you and Fourth Brother, what's left after deducting various expenses. In addition, this share is for Zhuangzhuang's living expenses."

While the three cowboys were explaining, they also gave Zhuangzhuang living expenses.

Zhuangzhuang's living expenses were not much, even less than one-tenth of the bonus given by the Three Cowboys, but he still handed the money to Huang Xinran very carefully.

Huang Xinran gladly accepted the money.

"Okay, I'll take the money. I'll give it to mom as living expenses for next month. Zhuangzhuang is a very obedient child. He is usually very quiet. I can even say that he is so quiet that people can hardly notice his existence. I don't know how you, a grown man, can raise such a quiet boy. I want to learn from you and use the money on Yaya."

"That's not necessary. It will make Yaya more lively. As for being strong..."

The third cowboy was silent for a moment, "If I hadn't been busy outside all day, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"He's very good this way. He's very sensible and well behaved."

Zhuangzhuang is too quiet. As she said before, he is so quiet that people will subconsciously ignore him. With such ability, and he is only six years old, it is obvious that he has been through something to become like this. She even wondered if Zhuangzhuang had depression or something.

Fortunately, after careful observation, I found that none of these seemed to be real.

"Not long after Zhuangzhuang entered school, the teacher asked him to join the Young Pioneers. This child is willing to listen to the teacher and is a sensible and good child."

Zhuangzhuang seemed to know that she was exaggerating himself, his ears turned red and his cheeks were burning.

The third cowboy was also very happy. He patted his son on the back and told him to listen to his fourth aunt: "If you dare not listen, I will punish you later!"

"What's wrong with Zhuangzhuang? This child is so well-behaved. Did you, San Niu Niu, misunderstand the child? You must not hit the child!" Huang Zhiye closed his stall early today and came over. As soon as he came, he heard San Niu Niu's words. He didn't hear the previous words, only heard this half, and hurried to protect the child.

"Dad, Three Cowboys isn't trying to get a blowjob, he's hurting a blowjob."

It’s no wonder that Huang Zhiye misunderstood the action of the three cowboys touching Zhuangzhuang’s head.

"Uncle Huang."

The three cowboys stood up hurriedly and greeted Huang Zhiye.

It took Huang Zhiye a while to figure out what had happened, and he couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Huang Xinran was considerate and helped him out in time: "Dad, did you come here today to see me for something?"

"It's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask about your second brother's recent situation."

Huang Hongyuan was in charge of the warehouse. In addition to his monthly salary, he also received a certain amount of subsidies from the government. After deducting his expenses, he still had a lot left every month. According to Huang Hongyuan's own wishes, he saved all the remaining money and planned to leave it for his parents to rely on in the future.
