Chapter 15 The Fallen Child Star 15

When Zhang Qingyi knew about this, Yao Rong had already contacted the program team.

"Are you really going to participate!?" The bird landed on the grape trellis and jumped up in fright at Zhang Qingyi's scream.

Yao Rong nodded.

Zhang Qingyi's face showed worry: "The Xu family must have bad intentions. I'm worried that you will get into trouble if you participate so recklessly."

"No." It was Xu Weiheng who responded to Zhang Qingyi.

He asked Zhang Qingyi to sit down and explained: "I just asked the program team. It was the program team's idea to invite us, not the Xu family. And most importantly, I still want to be an actor."

As an actor, the works shot must be presented to the audience.

So he had to go back to the stage.

This variety show was a great opportunity.

While Xu Weiheng was speaking, Zhang Qingyi had been looking at him.

As she watched, Zhang Qingyi was suddenly deeply moved.

She still remembered how Xu Weiheng looked when she first met him on the plane. He

was thin, weak, and pale, and when he spoke, it was as if he had a thorn in his mouth, which could not only hurt the other person, but also torture himself all over.

But now he seems to have been reborn.

This change is not only a change in appearance, but also includes his temperament, conversation and behavior.

The calmness and composure he showed when he spoke made people realize that this is a child who lives in love and is surrounded by love.

"Aunt Zhang?" Xu Weiheng said a lot, and when he looked up, he found that Zhang Qingyi was distracted.

Zhang Qingyi came back to her senses and laughed, "I feel relieved knowing that you didn't make this decision in a trance. When will the recording start?" "

In a month."

Zhang Qingyi nodded, returned to the room on the third floor, and sat in front of the half-open window in a daze.

Outside the window, the osmanthus tree was lush and leafy, and cicadas hid in the gaps between the trees, making disturbing calls.

Zhang Qingyi listened to the cicadas' chirping for a long time and turned on her mobile phone.

In her photo album, there were many photos of the family.

Zhang Qingyi looked at them for a long time.

If the cheating hadn't happened, they would have really been a model family. The child's father is an engineer, the mother is a photographer, the grandparents are university teachers, and the grandparents are editors-in-chief of a newspaper. Although they are not a wealthy family, they have enough to provide a rich life for their children.

But the cheating is an established fact.

Not only did she know that her husband had cheated, but netizens all over the country also knew about it.

During this time, she stayed in City D and chose to deal with the matter coldly. But in a few days, her son's closed summer camp will be over.

After careful consideration, she decided to divorce.

She couldn't continue to live with her husband without any grudges.

But after the divorce, what should her son do?

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Qingyi was startled: "The door is not closed, come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng walked in one after another. Xu Weiheng was holding a tray with desserts, fruits and a pot of scented tea.

Yao Rong said: "I came to have afternoon tea with you."

When Zhang Qingyi went upstairs just now, she noticed that Zhang Qingyi's condition was not right, so after Zhang Qingyi had been alone for more than two hours, Yao Rong called Xu Weiheng to come and see.

Zhang Qingyi hurriedly moved a stool for them.

Yao Rong took out the Bluetooth speaker, played a decompression light music, and asked Zhang Qingyi to taste her newly made dessert.

This dessert has a refreshing taste, sweet but not greasy, and it feels even better if you drink a sip of scented tea after eating it.

Zhang Qingyi finished her own meal in silence.

After she was full, she suddenly had a strong desire to confess: "I just came back to the house and have been looking at my son's photos."

Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng put down their things at the same time and pretended to listen attentively.

Zhang Qingyi continued: "You know, he especially admires his father. When I was organizing my phone, I found his composition written a few months ago."

"In the yellow homework book, he wrote in those big characters that always exceed the grid, stroke by stroke: I hope to become a person like my father in the future."

Zhang Qingyi smiled bitterly, and under the gaze of Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng, she slowly spread out her wolf pack.

"I felt very sad at the time. As a mother, I didn't know how to tell my child that the father who he thought was omnipotent was actually a scumbag who had no responsibilities and betrayed his family..."

Such facts were enough to overturn all the cognition of a child's small world.

She could bear the pain of her husband's betrayal, but she didn't know how to make her child suffer less.

Yao Rong's hand was on Zhang Qingyi's back, silent but powerful, with a soothing force.

Xu Weiheng, who had been silently playing in the background, quietly raised his hand: "Aunt Zhang, do you want to hear my opinion?"

Zhang Qingyi didn't want to lose her composure in front of the younger generation, so she tried to cheer up: "You tell me."

"Don't hide it, and don't show off in front of your son. Just tell him everything. Aunt Zhang, although he is only a seven-year-old child, sometimes he is really stronger and more reasonable than you think."

Xu Weiheng's words were completely empathetic.

If possible, he really hoped that when Ms. Yao divorced, she would tell him all the truth, instead of keeping him in the dark for so long.

Zhang Qingyi was shocked.

This was the first time she heard such a statement.

She had discussed this matter with her parents and friends before, and they all advised her not to tell the child and not to destroy the image of the father in the child's mind.

But now facing Xu Weiheng's suggestion, Zhang Qingyi couldn't help but wonder: ... Have these adults underestimated the children? Is the protection they think they are providing actually harmful to some extent?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyi subconsciously looked at Yao Rong for help: "Sister Yao, what do you think?"

Yao Rong was actually surprised by Xu Weiheng's suggestion.

She thought about it and said carefully: "I think what Weiheng said makes sense. Qingyi, you know your son's character best. Think about it, what will his reaction be after telling him the truth?"

Zhang Qingyi tightly grasped the teacup, hesitating.

"Don't make a decision so quickly, you still have time to think about it." Yao Rong left space for Zhang Qingyi and retreated with Xu Weiheng.

***

Towards evening, Lawyer Zhou called and said that the mental damages paid by Xingyu Media had all been deposited into Xu Weiheng's bank card.

Yao Rong thanked Lawyer Zhou and went to find Xu Weiheng.

Xu Weiheng was lying on the bed reading "Starry Sky". Ever since he heard Yao Rong tell him the story outline of "Starry Sky", he has become a loyal reader of this science fiction novel.

Hearing Yao Rong's intention, Xu Weiheng said calmly: "Give it all to you."

"Give it all to me?" Yao Rong laughed, "I will be rich soon. This money is yours, I don't want it."

This five million is not some unexpected fortune.

It is the compensation from Star Language Media to Xu Weiheng, and it should belong only to Xu Weiheng.

Xu Weiheng knew that Yao Rong did not lie to him.

The publishing house attaches great importance to the publication of "Starry Sky". Now it is rushing to review and print, and it is expected to be published next month. Once this copyright fee is received, Yao Rong will become well-off, after all, she doesn't have many places to spend money.

"Then you can help me manage it. You can deposit it into the bank or use it for investment."

"What if you lose all the investment?"

Xu Weiheng wrinkled his nose: "That proves that you are not cut out for business. Don't play with investment in the future. We don't have another 5 million for you to lose in a short time."

Yao Rong laughed out loud at his reaction: "Okay. Anyway, I won't let you lose money."

Xu Weiheng curled the corners of his lips, not taking her words to heart, and not knowing the weight of her words.

After leaving Xu Weiheng, Yao Rong sat under the grape trellis and thought for a long time, and had an idea of ​​how to use the money.

She has been thinking that when the time is right in the future, she will invest in a doomsday disaster movie.

For movies of this kind of theme, the plot can be routine, the actors' acting skills can be average, but the special effects must not be lame, otherwise it will be really a disaster.

Since there is a demand, then use the five million to invest in a special effects company.

In addition to capital investment, she can also invest in technology -

3D naked eye technology and holographic film technology. If these two technologies can really be developed, the entire world film landscape will change.

Even if these two technologies cannot be researched for the time being, it is possible to slightly improve the current level of special effects.

Thinking of this, Yao Rong began to search for domestic special effects companies and carefully understand the operating conditions of each company.

If this five million is used to invest in a large special effects company, it will definitely not even make a splash. Even if she really invests, she will not have much say in the company. So Yao Rong is eyeing those small companies that have financial problems and operating difficulties, but have a complete basic framework and a set of mature talent teams.

With a clear idea, Yao Rong quickly selected her desired target -

Tiangong Vision.

While Yao Rong was planning for the future, Zhang Qingyi, who had been sitting there for the whole afternoon, finally made up her mind. During

dinner, she announced, "I bought a flight ticket to City A tomorrow."

Yao Rong asked with a smile, "Have you made up your mind?"

Zhang Qingyi nodded, "Although my son is only seven years old, he has always been very sensible. When he comes home from summer camp, I will communicate with him well, gain his understanding and support, and try my best to fight for his custody after the divorce."

Hearing this answer, Xu Weiheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Qingyi stood up to thank them, with sincerity in her eyes, "I am very grateful for your care during this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know how depressed I would be."

In addition, Zhang Qingyi also learned a lot from Yao Rong and the others.

She saw her own path after divorce, learned how to live well, and understood how to teach her children.

This kind of wisdom in life, and a friendship that is better than family members despite a chance encounter, are her greatest gains.

Zhang Qingyi couldn't help but reach out and gently hugged Yao Rong: "Sister Yao, I really treat you and Wei Heng as my relatives. I will not leave for a short time when I return to City A this time. If you go to City A, you must contact me."

Yao Rong hugged her back: "Don't worry, I will always keep the room you live in for you. Whenever you want to come and play, just come directly. Then bring your son and parents over. There is not much else in the B&B, but the room is ready."

Zhang Qingyi burst into tears and laughed.

The next day, Zhang Qingyi gave a painting to Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng as a parting gift.

In the painting, the epiphyllum bloomed quietly, vividly.

"I drew this last night. I didn't have time to send it for framing. Please don't mind."

Zhang Qingyi smiled slightly, raised her hand to tidy up her hair, and the wind blew in from behind, making her hair flutter slightly.

Her outfit today was exactly the same as the one she wore on the plane when they first met that day.

She wore pearl earrings, a suit, and her hair was short.

But she looked completely different from that day.

She became more confident and calm.

"Don't send me off. I can just take a taxi to the airport by myself." Zhang Qingyi waved her hand casually, turned around and got into the back seat of the taxi, and just left.

***

Everyone has their own life. As for Zhang Qingyi's departure, Yao Rong could only wish her well.

After seeing Zhang Qingyi off, Yao Rong began to busy herself with her own affairs.

On the one hand, she plans to start writing a new science fiction novel, "Light Years", and on the other hand, she plans to renovate the B&B.

The B&B has been renovated not long ago, so there is no need to make any major changes, but if she wants to make the B&B more refined and beautiful, minor adjustments are still needed.

The production team of "Dear Family" said that the first episode of the program will definitely be recorded in the guests' own homes, and it will be broadcast live throughout. The Xu family wants to step on her and Xu Weiheng to climb up, so of course she has to be in the best condition. This naturally includes the place to live.

When Yao Rong talked about the matter, Xu Weiheng volunteered: "Is there anything I can help with?"

"Yes, really. I will make a purchase list, and then you will go to buy things according to the list I made. After buying the things, you will be responsible for hiring the construction team."

Yao Rong did not intend to let Xu Weiheng be idle.

The things she mentioned were not very difficult to do, but most of them were trivial, and it was not easy to do them well.

Xu Weiheng thought about it and agreed: "No problem."

He took the list written by Yao Rong and read it from the beginning.

When he saw some of the items, he exclaimed: "Carpenter's ruler, flat file, round file... these things are used for carpentry, right? What do you want to do with them?"
