"Is Liu Jin awake yet? Come and have breakfast if you're awake." Grandma Yan's voice came from over.
Liu Jin quickly pulled Xue Mei towards the restaurant. Seeing the table full of food, Liu Jin felt his appetite was awakened. He reached out and grabbed a steamed bun and a bowl of congee with preserved egg and shredded pork.
With one bite of the preserved egg and shredded pork congee, a satisfied smile spread across Liu Jin's face. This is the taste! How can it be so delicious? One more bite, one more bite.
Seeing Liu Jin's greedy expression, Yu Shu couldn't help but laugh. Liu Jin was engrossed in the delicious food when he heard Yu Shu's laughter and opened his eyes.
"Yushu, you seem to have grown quite a bit." Liujin greeted Yushu.
Yu Shu nodded and replied seriously, "Big brother, I've grown up a lot, and you've aged a lot too."
"Pfft!" Liu Jin quickly used his hand to block the century egg and shredded pork porridge that was about to spray out, thus preventing everyone from suffering. He hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and face clean, but faced with the delicious food, he had already lost his appetite.
"Yushu, have I really aged a lot? I'm only twenty-two years old," Liujin retorted.
Yu Shu nodded and explained earnestly, "Big brother, you are twenty-two years old, but I am only seven. Compared to me, you are much older."
Liu Jin finally felt relieved. It turned out that the little girl was comparing her age to his. How could they compare? If Enming could speak, he might be able to be a father.
Pshaw, I can't take advantage of my aunt. It's just a metaphor, really just a metaphor.
Liu Jin ate a proper breakfast. He hadn't had home-cooked food in five years. People who haven't tried it probably don't know that home-cooked food is the best feast.
Liu Jin quickly finished a bowl of congee with preserved egg and shredded pork, and then reached for a second bowl. Grandma Yan took a small bowl, poured out half of the congee, and handed it to Liu Jin.
"You can't eat too much when you're too hungry, or you'll get diarrhea," Grandma Yan explained.
Liu Jin nodded quickly, realizing he had been too greedy. He picked up his small bowl and began to eat slowly. Yu Shu and Tian Ru laughed, saying, "Big brother is too greedy!"
After watching Liu Jin finish his breakfast, Yan Xiaonan brought over a set of documents. The group went to the study to discuss the matter. Liu Jin looked through the documents in his hand and became more and more excited as he read.
"Auntie, the film studio you built is even better than the ones in the US. And all the sets, both indoor and outdoor, are complete. Auntie, how can you be so amazing?"
"Of course, I wouldn't be that capable of being your aunt. Here are two scripts, take a look and choose one. If you're sure there are no problems, we need to start filming as soon as possible. By the way, I want to make it into a TV series." Yan Xiaonan gave Liu Jin two scripts.
Liu Jin's eyes lit up when he read the scripts. One was a family drama, and the other was about a young intellectual sent to the countryside. Just by looking at the synopsis, you could tell that both had very interesting plots.
"Regardless of the script, you will be the lead. Dean Tan will be the assistant director, and we have hired another director, a senior director from Shanghai. You can talk to him. He will choose the supporting roles, and you can choose the female lead yourself," Yan Xiaonan said.
Liu Jin nodded repeatedly. It was essential to choose a suitable female lead; otherwise, if the two didn't work well together during filming, the movie could very well be a failure.
"Auntie, what's the name of our film and television company?" Liu Jin asked.
“Your great-grandfather named it Tianru Media Film and Television Company. You don’t own any shares in the company. Your share of the profits is 20% of the total profit after deducting all costs,” Yan Xiaonan said.
"I disagree. How can there be such a high salary? I only need 10% profit." Liu Jin disagreed.
Yan Xiaonan shook her head and said, "Aunt Liu Jin doesn't want to treat you unfairly. Also, Tianru Media Company can't just have you as the male lead. There might be other actors in the cast. In addition, our venue will also be rented out, so other companies can hire you as their lead actor."
Liu Jin was stunned. Had his aunt gone mad? She had put so much effort into raising him, and now she was letting him go out and eat wild food. What if he got stolen away? Wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
"Liu Jin, broaden your horizons and expand your perspective. Not everything is static. Actors are human too; they will also be born, grow old, get sick, and die. For our media company to operate sustainably, new talent is indispensable."
Liu Jin understood. His aunt was clearly telling him that relying solely on his aunt's company was not enough to give him sufficient compensation. If he wanted to make money, he had to be affiliated with multiple companies, since youth is limited.
When he becomes more famous and gets older, he can have newcomers replace him, while he can become a director, a producer, or even a composer.
“Aunt, I must have done a lot of good deeds in my past life to be able to be reborn into the Yan family as your nephew.”
"You chatterbox, have you sent out the gifts yet? Hurry up and do it, then we'll go and give you a welcome-back dinner," Yan Xiaonan said with a smile.
Upon hearing that gifts were being given out, everyone rushed over, countless eyes fixed on the suitcase. When the suitcase was opened, everyone looked curiously at the boxes wrapped in colorful paper, wondering what was inside.
The three boxes were dark green. Ye Chenming handed the boxes to Grandma Yan, Ye Ren, and Fu Qingping. The two boxes were bright red, and they belonged to Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming.
The blue box is for Cuihua, Yan Xiaoqiang, Uncle, and Aunt; the pink box is for the three little girls; and the white box with gold flecks is for Tianru and the others, as well as for Duoduo and Wujinban.
The cyan box was for Bei Nan and Xin Nan, as well as Ai Dang and Ye Chen'er, and of course Yan Aiguo.
The last two yellow boxes belonged to Southeast and Xuemei. Everyone was itching to open them and see what was inside, but Liujin had said that everyone should open their gifts after dinner.
After dinner, it was already time to leave. Everyone hurriedly got into the car and headed towards Tie Jun's restaurant.
The car stopped in front of the restaurant, and Liu Jin looked up at the sign: "Iron General Restaurant".
Wow, what a unique name! It not only tells everyone that the restaurant's surname is Tie, but also that the owner is a capable general.
"Ah, Liu Jin is here! It's been years since I last saw him. He's grown into a fine young man. Not bad, not bad. Welcome home." Tie Jun ran out to shake hands with Liu Jin. He's a grown man now, so he should be treated like an adult.
"Hello, Uncle Tie Jun." Liu Jin never knows how to address Tie Jun. According to seniority, he should be in the same generation as Bei Nan, but he just happened to marry Ye Chenming's aunt. Sigh, it's tough.
Bei Nan was very perceptive and pulled Liu Jin into the restaurant in one go. He was also very aggrieved by Tie Jun's identity, feeling that he was inexplicably a generation lower than him. Who could he complain to?
