Liu Zi has been away for too long this time, and she's starting to miss her child.
Fortunately, she gained a lot from this experience. Through Zhang Ke's introduction, Liu Zi met with three directors and selected one of them whose ideas aligned with hers.
The other party's name is Zhou Bai, 42 years old this year. His hometown is Shandong. His ancestors fled to Hong Kong and settled there. He had previously acted in two movies and later acted in TV series on CTV.
After studying the script, his insights coincided with Liu Zi's.
After further discussions, Liu Zi made the decision to have the other party film "Lost in Thailand".
After signing the contract, both parties discussed the subsequent filming locations, filming times, main actors, and so on.
Liu Zi finally made it home in early December.
It had been almost a month since she last saw her daughters. She felt that her two daughters had grown taller and fatter. Liu Zi hugged and kissed them for a long time.
Liu Zi called her parents, and that evening they all sat down together for a long-awaited family reunion dinner.
"This is really outrageous of you. You've been gone for so many days without even thinking about the children," Xu Mei muttered.
"Mom, Lingzi and Qiqi have been nagging me for ages." Liu Zi also felt wronged, since she had to be there when Pei Shiheng was kidnapped.
In order to cooperate with Xu Er and his group and avoid alerting the enemy, Liu Zi had no choice but to remain in Hong Kong and hold her position.
"Then I can't say! Your dad and I will worry about you traveling alone." Xu Mei knew her daughter was headstrong these days, but she still needed to be careful about her safety!
“I’m not alone. People from my studio are with me, and I’ve hired bodyguards in advance. I also have friends to take care of me when I get to the south, so I’m very safe,” Liu Zi immediately explained to her mother.
"Bodyguard? What were you doing there?"
Xu Mei was taken aback. In her opinion, only high-ranking leaders or ordinary people who were threatened would need protection. What had happened to Liu Zi?
"Mom, nothing happened to me. I was just being safe. A friend of mine runs a security company, so I hired someone. It's kind of like helping my friend's security company open for business." Liu Zi smoothed things over.
Xu Mei still looked worried, but it was time to eat, and both of her granddaughters were saying they were hungry, so she had to put the matter aside for now and deal with it later.
After dinner, Liu Zi volunteered to wash the dishes in the kitchen.
Back in the living room, the family remained silent, as if waiting for her.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Liu Zi was puzzled. Did these people still want to attack her?
"Have you made any plans regarding the Yunnan Province project you mentioned before?" Liu Daqiang asked first.
"Of course, I've arranged for us to fly over together around the 20th." Liu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't tell anyone.
"Zizi, could we move this time forward by two days?" Aunt Zhang rarely voiced her opinion; usually, she just listened to everyone else.
"What's wrong, Auntie?" Liu Zi asked in surprise.
“Zhang Qiang’s death anniversary is December 18th. I haven’t visited him for almost ten years. I was thinking that it would be good if I could go and pay my respects on that day!” Aunt Zhang’s voice trembled slightly.
"I'm sorry, Auntie." Liu Zi immediately squatted down in front of Aunt Zhang.
"It's okay, if you're busy and can't get away..."
Liu Zi shook her head, interrupting her.
“Auntie, you’ve been in this family for so long, but I haven’t been close enough to you. I don’t even know when Brother Zhang sacrificed his life.”
Aunt Zhang's tears fell in large drops.
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault. I know you were afraid of hurting me. You don't know how happy I was to come to this family. It must be my Qiangzi guiding Lingzi to find me."
“Yes, Brother Zhang couldn’t bear to see Lingzi suffer, so he brought her to stay with you, Auntie. This is fate between you and Lingzi, and also fate between you and us.” Liu Zi’s eyes also reddened. She still can’t forget the first time she saw Lingzi.
"Alright, stop crying. Let's discuss when to go and how to get there!"
"My plan is to fly to Ming City first, and then rent a car to go to Wen City and Ma County."
Liu Zi had already inquired beforehand and found out that there were direct flights between Ming City and Beijing, but it seemed that the departure time would be two days earlier.
She plans to hire a security company for this matter. Having them around when she goes out will save her a lot of trouble, and the money will be well spent.
"Okay, it's good that you have a plan." Liu Daqiang felt heavy-hearted when he talked about these things.
"Let me know once you've set a time, and I'll see if your Uncle Wang and the others are available. They might come along too."
"Okay, I'll confirm the time as soon as possible." Liu Zi nodded solemnly.
Since the matter was brought forward, Liu Zi immediately went to the studio the next day to confirm the schedule.
Ma County is located on the border, and it takes most of the day to drive there from Ming City along mountain roads.
Her parents and Aunt Zhang are all quite old, so they definitely need to get plenty of rest and try not to travel too much.
"Boss, you're taking the old and the young with you, why don't I go with you?" Wang Jian had never been to Ma County, but he had heard of it.
Several major battles of the Vietnam War were fought in that area, resulting in the deaths of many people.
"No need, I'm going to hire a security company. We'll fly to Ming City first, then take a car there. Go ask how many flights there are from Beijing to Ming City a week, before the 18th of this month," Liu Zi reminded her at the end.
She contacted Xu Er directly with the security company.
When Xu Er thought she was going to Hong Kong again, Liu Zi told her that this time she was going to Wenshan.
Anyone who has served in the military knows that place, Xu Er asked Liu Zi in a low voice about her purpose in going there.
"My dad is going to visit his comrades-in-arms, and my daughter's godmother-in-law is going to visit her son."
"Okay, I agree to this. When do you plan to leave?"
"Before the 18th, our plan is to fly to Ming City first, and then rent a car to go there."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. I'll try my best to keep Li Song with you." Xu Er knew that Liu Zi and Li Song got along quite well. Bringing him back would make it easier for Liu Zi's family to go out.
"Is Li Song alone? Is there any danger at the border?" Liu Zi was a little worried because she had brought too many people with her this time.
"There will be others, Li Song is leading the team." Xu Er reassured Liu Zi, saying that they were very familiar with the area because of certain business dealings.
"Okay, once we've confirmed the number of people, I'll have Wang Jian book tickets for everyone." Security costs can be settled later, but Liu Zi has no problem with the airfare.
"Someone will help prepare the car in Ming City, so you don't need to worry about it." Xu Er took on the land transportation issue.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Liu is so considerate of our business, this is what we should do," Xu Er said obsequiously.
Although the incident involving the Pei family was somewhat dangerous, their security company made a fortune, all thanks to the introductions provided by General Manager Liu.
