Chapter 552: All I Want Is What I Wish For
Cheng Xuyuan is very conflicted!
He knew very well that if he said it out loud, the current sweetness would turn into thunder.
No matter how good-tempered Fang Yuqing is, she would not want to become a child's stepmother without getting married.
But if we don't say it, how long will this matter be hidden?
After marriage? Although Shen Yunliang had other purposes in what he said, one thing he said was still right, that is, Fang Yuqing had the right to know.
She should know about this before she can regret it, so that she won't reach a point where it is irreversible.
But speaking out now...
Thoughts surged in Cheng Xuyuan's mind, making him feel conflicted.
"What are you thinking about?" Fang Yuqing moved closer to Cheng Xuyuan and asked softly.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I was thinking that now that I have returned to Yanjing to see you ahead of time, does what you promised me count?"
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Fang Yuqing immediately became serious.
She stared at Cheng Xuyuan and asked, "What do you want me to promise?"
"Actually, I will agree to whatever you say."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "What I asked you to agree to is something that even I don't know. I just want you to agree first."
"Only if you agree, I can bring it up later."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was pretending to be mysterious, Fang Yuqing pouted and said, "Although you came early, my birthday is not here yet."
"Whether you agree or not depends on whether you appear in front of me on my birthday."
"If you show up, then it means I promised. If you're not here, then it means I didn't promise."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's words, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
Although both of them were willing to stay at home at this time, Qin Wenhui and Fang Yuning were Fang Yuqing's sister and brother-in-law after all, and they definitely couldn't keep them waiting for too long for dinner.
So after taking a quick shower, the two of them walked out of the house.
Because the weather was too hot, Fang Yuqing held an umbrella in her hand.
Cheng Xuyuan usually doesn't like to use this kind of umbrella, but Fang Yuqing forcibly pulled him under the umbrella.
But it feels very good to have an umbrella blocking the sun, not to mention that Fang Yuqing is by his side at this time.
"What's going on over there?" Cheng Xuyuan suddenly noticed that there were a dozen people surrounding a stall in front, so he asked curiously.
Fang Yuqing said, "It's selling big bowls of tea."
"In order to increase job opportunities, the street arranged for the educated youth who had returned to the city but had not yet been assigned a job to set up stalls around the scenic area to sell tea."
“It’s much cheaper than soda.”
"A bowl is only two cents."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the people in line and said with a smile, "How about we go have a drink?"
Fang Yuqing glared at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Why are you willing to join in all the fun?"
Although she said so, Fang Yuqing still followed Cheng Xuyuan to the place where big bowls of tea were sold and asked him for a big bowl of tea.
Although the taste of this tea is indeed average, it is very thirst-quenching.
After Cheng Xuyuan drank a bowl of tea, he smiled and said to Fang Yuqing, "How about making a bet? There will be more and more stalls like this in the future."
Fang Yuqing snorted and said, "I won't bet with you if it's obvious that I'm going to lose."
At this point, Fang Yuqing suddenly asked, "Why do you always ask me to promise you things and even make bets with me? Do you have any purpose?"
Hearing Fang Yuqing's question, Cheng Xuyuan laughed and said, "I'm just saying it. If you don't want to, forget it."
Fang Yuqing had no doubts about Cheng Xuyuan, and the two quickly changed the subject.
After having a meal with Qin Wenhui and his wife, Cheng Xuyuan had a good sleep in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Early the next morning, Cheng Xuyuan met the American director named Simler.
Cheng Xuyuan had some impression of this director.
This impression came from a book that Cheng Xuyuan had read in his previous life, in which there was a brief record of a film by this director.
From this record, Cheng Xuyuan knew that this person should be an ordinary American director without any significant achievements.
"Mr. Simmer, it's nice to meet you." Although Cheng Xuyuan had already made a decision in his heart, he still showed the necessary enthusiasm on the surface.
Simpler was in his forties and had graying hair.
His tall figure is a little bloated, so he gives people a feeling of being fat rather than strong.
Simmler was naturally familiar with Cheng Xuyuan.
The fact that he was able to make up his mind to find Cheng Xuyuan actually meant that he had a certain understanding of Cheng Xuyuan.
"Mr. Cheng, it's really nice to meet you."
"First of all, I want to congratulate you. Your movie is a big hit now!" Simler said with a smile, "You can make a lot of money this time."
Sinml's words were quickly told to Cheng Xuyuan by an interpreter who was following him.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Simmer."
Simler looked at Cheng Xuyuan's calm expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, I came here this time hoping to cooperate with you."
“I like your works very much.”
"Especially the Forrest Gump you wrote. I have read it at least ten times."
"I think if this film could be adapted for the screen, it would definitely be a popular classic."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the somewhat excited Simmer and said calmly, "I am very happy to receive your affirmation."
Cheng Xuyuan's lukewarm words made Simpler feel a little pressured.
But he still kept smiling and said, "Mr. Cheng Xuyuan, I hope to be able to adapt your work. The contract can be the same as your current one."
"What do you think?"
Cheng Xuyuan said calmly: "Thank you Mr. Simpler for your appreciation."
"I know that every director hopes to find a good work that can demonstrate his or her strengths."
"Authors like me also hope to find a director who can truly present their work perfectly."
“So, I hope I can have more choices.”
"I hope you don't mind, Mr. Simpler."
Upon hearing this answer, Simmer's face suddenly became much gloomier.
Never mind, you're kidding.
However, Simmler also knew that if he said he minded at this time, it would cut off the possibility of cooperating with Cheng Xuyuan.
So he said in one breath: "Mr. Cheng Xuyuan, I naturally don't mind."
"I think I should be the most suitable candidate."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I hope so too."
"But let me investigate this matter a little more before I speak."
Simler smiled and said, "Can you give me some time for your investigation?"
"After all, I can't stay here forever."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "How about this, please leave a way to contact you, and I will contact you after I have done my inspection."
"This way, you won't be delayed from doing other things."
Cheng Xuyuan's words were very polite, but Cheng Xuyuan's meaning made Simmer's heart a little cold.
