When Zong Jia opened the door and saw that her forehead was a little red, he asked with concern, "What happened?"
She used a subtle way of speaking to describe what had just happened downstairs.
Zong Jia knew her so well that he accurately guessed the answer from her words. He chuckled and rubbed her forehead, "Will you still be cheeky next time?"
Jiang Xiaoli brushed his hand away and emphasized, "This is just a friendly interaction, it's nothing."
She walked into the house and saw Zhong Yuan there. She said gloatingly, "Brother Yuan, Xin Xin didn't invite you home?"
Zhong Yuan, munching on spicy snacks, said confidently, "How could that be? But at such an important moment as the launch of the new version of 'SOSO,' I still chose to prioritize my career. Xin Xin and her parents will understand!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Indeed. Oh, by the way, did Director Shen call you?"
Zhong Yuan sucked his fingers and said excitedly, "I shamelessly came over just to ask you about this. 'The Outstanding' has had a great start at the box office today, right? Little Pear, what do you think the final total box office will be?"
She sat down and analyzed, "The movie will be in theaters for 30 days. Today is the first day of the National Day holiday, so it's normal for the results to be a bit better. The main thing is how well the movie performs in the later stages. But I think with the quality of 'The Outstanding', there shouldn't be any major problems. I conservatively estimate it to be over 80 million."
Zhong Yuan jumped up and squatted on the sofa like a monkey, excitedly asking, "80 million? And that's a conservative estimate? Little Pear, are you serious?"
Jiang Xiaoli was leisurely eating a boneless chicken foot. "Why would I lie to you?"
"Hahaha!" Zhong Yuan was overjoyed. "Old Shen said the box office revenue would be 35%-37%. If we calculate it this way, 'The Outstanding' will gross close to 30 million! That's doubled in a year, hehe, not bad, not bad!"
Jiang Xiaoli was quite happy. Although the return on investment was not high compared to her other industries, it was still the first pot of gold she had earned in the film and television industry.
Moreover, the previous film "The Outstanding" had grossed 96 million at the box office. With her financial support this time, the quality of the film has been elevated to a new level, and she feels that it is not impossible for it to win the annual box office champion.
She laughed and said, "Let's wait and see. We'll know roughly how the box office is after the National Day holiday."
The seven-day Golden Week holiday is enough for "The Outstanding" to spread its reputation and attract a large number of movie fans to pay for high-quality films.
Zhong Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, no rush. Okay, you two can be all lovey-dovey. I'm going home to call my Xin Xin and tell her the good news!"
Zhong Yuan ran off like a gust of wind, and Zong Jia hugged Jiang Xiaoli's waist, "Xiaoli, are you happy today?"
"Of course!" she said with a smile. "The success of 'The Outstanding' is not just about the money the movie makes. The fact that the actors my company signed are becoming famous is like a continuous money-printing machine. How could I not be happy?"
Seeing her greedy little face, Zong Jia couldn't help but pinch her chin and kiss her lips.
Jiang Xiaoli wrapped her arms around his neck, "Ayu, why are you looking like a little teddy bear now?"
Zong Jia raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
She sat up and whispered in his ear, "You're so arrogant, you can be hot and bothered with everything and everything, you can get horny anytime, anywhere."
Zong Jiayu's gaze deepened as he looked at her. "Little Pear, can I take this as a provocation?"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly forced a flattering smile, and instead of hugging his neck, she massaged his shoulders. "How could that be! My Ayu is mighty and domineering, how could he be a little teddy bear? Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"
Zong Jia witnessed her amazing ability to change her expression, and while enjoying her ticklish massage, he said, "You don't actually think I'll let you off the hook just because you say a few nice words, do you?"
Jiang Xiaoli immediately stopped massaging and leaned back on the sofa, sulking, "You're so hard to coax!"
Ignoring her bluff, Zong Jia picked her up lazily and said, "Little Pear, you're the epitome of turning the tables."
She was like a fat fish caught in a fishing net, struggling but unable to escape.
In the bedroom, her expression changed again, and she began to soften, "Okay, Yu, I was wrong, you're so kind..."
Her words were cut off by a passionate kiss.
After a while, Zong Jia looked at the girl whose expression had softened and asked, "Little Pear, are you disgusted with me?"
Jiang Xiaoli's voice was soft and sweet, "No way, it's not illegal to joke around, is it?"
Zong Jiayu nodded and chuckled, "Yes, it's not illegal."
Then came another passionate kiss.
Jiang Xiaoli felt that her fathead fish had only gone through a very short time from being caught to being washed, cut, fried, and stir-fried.
But Zong Jia had to ask her in a very nasty way, "Little Pear, I didn't force you, did I?"
She bit his shoulder in a fit of anger, "You've gone too far!"
Zong Jia hissed in pain and raised his hand to give her a light slap on the buttocks.
His voice was somewhat deep, yet surprisingly alluring, "A puppy? Hmm?"
Jiang Xiaoli winced in pain, unaware of how delicate her voice sounded, "You're so vengeful, aren't you?"
Zong Jia chuckled, "I was too lenient with you, that's why you're trying to argue with me now."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her murmuring lips...
...
The fathead fish, now completely devoured, rolled over on the bed, somewhat disgruntled. "I'm going to complain about you!"
Zong Jia played with a strand of her long hair between his fingers. "Oh? Little Pear, do you think I didn't perform well?"
Jiang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him and ordered Zong Jiayu, "Go get me a mirror! I definitely have a mark on my neck!"
Zong Jia didn't move. He gently brushed her hair aside, and sure enough, there were two rosy marks below the girl's delicate neck.
He suddenly felt a little guilty. "Is there any way to fix this?"
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes darted around, and she propped herself up on her elbows. "There really is a way!"
Zong Jia listened to her completely at this moment, saying, "You tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it."
She beckoned with her index finger, "Come closer."
Zong Jiayu thought she was going to say something, so he moved closer to her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss, not satisfied with just one, so she took another.
She reached out and touched her masterpiece, nodding in satisfaction. "Now it's fair."
Zong Jiayu smiled indulgently at her mischievous little expression, "Okay~ it's good that Little Pear is calmed down."
Jiang Xiaoli sat up abruptly. "It's alright!"
She pointed to the wardrobe and said, "Have a bath and change my clothes."
Zong Jia helped her get a change of clothes, washed the bighead carp clean, dried its hair, changed its clothes, and sent it home.
