Chapter 627 I Really Don’t Care
Cheng Xuyuan’s expression changed when he heard what Li Yufei said.
He knew in his heart that what Li Yufei said was probably not a joke to him.
After all, as his fame grows, more and more people will probably talk about his relationship with Shen Yumo.
For example, when I came to Donghai this time, some people talked nonsense about me in order to increase my popularity.
"Yufei, stop talking. These are just the gossips of villains. If you care about this, you will never have an easy life." Shen Yumo said to Li Yufei without waiting for Cheng Xuyuan to speak.
Li Yufei snorted and said, "Sister, you can bear this anger, but I can't."
"Why should others talk about you because of Cheng Xuyuan?"
"Cheng Xuyuan, since there is no possibility between you and my sister, I think you two should stop entangled too much."
"It will save some people from making irresponsible remarks."
Cheng Xuyuan wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
He knew very well that although he could handle many things, he could not stop others from gossiping behind his back.
As for us living our own lives, no matter what others say, that is their business. We don't need to pay attention to such words. It is purely irresponsible.
"Li Yufei, you really took seriously the nonsense that some people said."
"Let me tell you, if you live in the spit of others, then you will never achieve anything great in your life."
"I am who I am. Why should I care what others say?" Shen Yumo's expression suddenly became a little stern.
Facing Shen Yumo, whose face turned a little blue, Li Yufei finally sighed, turned around and left.
Looking at Li Yufei leaving, Cheng Xuyuan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Shen Yumo seemed to know what Cheng Xuyuan was thinking. She said calmly, "These things have nothing to do with you."
"I brought this upon myself."
"Isn't it just some rumors? I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan secretly sighed in his heart.
Although Shen Yumo said it in a casual manner, he knew that Shen Yumo did not care.
Thoughts surged in Cheng Xuyuan's mind.
For a moment, he couldn't think of any good solution.
"It's okay. If anyone talks nonsense, tell me and I will definitely not be polite to him." Cheng Xuyuan said this without any confidence.
Because he knew that what he said was just to comfort Shen Yumo.
In fact, the role it can play is not that great.
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Okay, as long as I know who said it, I will tell you."
After lunch, Cheng Xuyuan and Xiao Anan had a good time playing together.
When evening came, Cheng Xuyuan thought for a while and then said to Shen Yumo: "Yumo, my house is almost ready, so I'll move in there."
The house that Cheng Xuyuan was talking about was a reward given to him by Shanghai Film Studio.
Although he asked Xie Jin for help and bought a large villa in Donghai, villas like these require daily maintenance.
However, the small three-bedroom apartment given by Shanghai Film Studio did not have this problem. One could just move in and sweep the floor.
After hearing Cheng Xuyuan say that he wanted to live somewhere else, Shen Yumo hesitated and said, "Okay, just be careful on the road."
"Xiao An'an should get up after nine o'clock tomorrow, so you don't have to run so early."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded, called a tricycle, took his things, and came to the staff quarters of Shanghai Film Studio.
Xie Jin helped him to clean up this house.
Although it was just a simple white paint, it was still very neat.
Moreover, Xie Jin also specially arranged people to ventilate the house every week, so the condition of the house is still maintained very good.
Opening the door with the key, Cheng Xuyuan looked around the simply decorated home.
Not only were there tables, chairs and benches, but there were even two bottles of wine on the cabinet at home.
Looking at these two bottles of wine, Cheng Xuyuan felt that they were the work of Xie Jin.
It’s just that Old Xie should be in Yanjing now filming The Last Emperor, so he’s not at the Shanghai Film Studio, otherwise…
Just as Cheng Xuyuan put his luggage down and tidied up the house, there was a knock on the door.
Cheng Xuyuan opened the door and saw Xie Jin standing outside.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "Director Xie, shouldn't you be in Yanjing?"
"The filming of the scenes in the Forbidden City went very smoothly and has now been completed. The next filming location is still being prepared, so the crew has a few days off."
Xie Jin smiled and said, "I was planning to go back and look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to the East China Sea."
"Why, are you here for a vacation?"
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "No, I'm going to Hong Kong."
"Mr. Cha is planning to hold a few book signings. I'm going to support him."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Xie Jin immediately understood the meaning of these book signing sessions. He smiled and said, "You are so kind. You can go out and have a look whenever you have nothing to do."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Director Xie, as long as you are willing, you can do it too!"
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I have to spend all my time this year watching the drama The Last Emperor."
Xie Jin waved his hand and said, "Xuyuan, you came just in time. I was just thinking about going out for a drink with some friends."
"Let's go together and get drunk today."
Hearing Xie Jin talking about drinking, Cheng Xuyuan felt like his head was a little big.
Although he can drink quite a bit, it depends on who he's comparing himself with.
Compared with Xie Jin, the gap is really huge.
"Director Xie, I have something to do tomorrow. Why don't you guys go and I'll rest at home."
In response to Cheng Xuyuan's words, Xie Jin simply pulled him up and left.
With no other options, Cheng Xuyuan could only leave.
The place for drinking was still the old guesthouse. There weren't many dishes, but there were several bottles of wine.
Looking at the wine, Cheng Xuyuan felt his heart beating fast.
He himself really couldn't hold his alcohol tolerance, but today, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.
The next morning, when Cheng Xuyuan woke up from bed, he felt a severe headache.
However, since he had already said that he would take Xiao An An out to play, Cheng Xuyuan could only wash his face with cold water and then drink a cup of hot water, which made him feel much more energetic.
When he arrived at Shen Yumo's residence by car, before Shen Yumo said anything, Li Yufei said disdainfully: "Who did you go drinking with? You reek of alcohol."
"You are not afraid of the smoke, but what if Xiao Anan is smoked?"
After hearing what Li Yufei said, Cheng Xuyuan could only explain to Shen Yumo: "I happened to meet Director Xie last night, and he invited me to drink some wine."
Shen Yumo glared at Li Yufei who was about to speak and said, "It's okay, just have some breakfast."
"Yufei cooked a pot of mung bean porridge this morning. I'll serve you a bowl."
As he spoke, Shen Yumo went to the kitchen and brought a large bowl of rice to Cheng Xuyuan.
Although Li Yufei didn't say anything under her sister's gaze, the look she gave Cheng Xuyuan was not very pleasant.
After the meal, Li Yufei went to wash the dishes while Cheng Xuyuan held little An An and played in the yard.
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment, but still came to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "You really don't need to take what Yu Fei said yesterday to heart."
"Rumors are always present."
"So if you can't hear them, just pretend they don't exist."
Cheng Xuyuan heard Shen Yumo say this, and naturally knew that Shen Yumo was afraid that he would worry, and was here to comfort him. He smiled and said, "I think so too."
"After all, he who is not envied is a mediocre person."
"When I came here from Yanjing this time, I heard many people say that the novels I wrote were nothing."
"It is because of the good times that we have achieved what we have now."
Shen Yumo smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing Shen Yumo turning around to leave, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Yumo, do you want to go to Hong Kong for a walk?"
When Shen Yumo heard Cheng Xuyuan's invitation, he hesitated and said, "I won't go."
"Little An An is still young, I don't want to carry him around."
"Xuyuan, go by yourself."
Cheng Xuyuan wanted to persuade him again, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.
Two days later, Cheng Xuyuan boarded a plane to Hong Kong.
Coming to Hong Kong again, Cheng Xuyuan's feeling became different again.
In the past, although he was famous in Hong Kong, he did not have much money.
After all, although his royalties at that time allowed him to live comfortably in Hong Kong, he was not very rich.
However, with the hot sales of Game of Thrones, the royalties paid by Mirren Publishing House have quickly made his wallet fatter.
So this time, Cheng Xuyuan came to Hong Kong with the main purpose of making some money from the stock market, and then take advantage of the stock market downturn to spend the money.
After all, money in your hand is always just a number.
He had agreed with Dong Cheng to come to Hong Kong this time.
So as soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw Dong Cheng coming to greet him.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, Dong Cheng's face was full of smiles. He shook hands with Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, Mr. Cha originally said he would come to the airport to pick you up, but he had something urgent to deal with."
"So he asked me to apologize to you. Also, let's go to the Treasure House at noon, and he wants to treat you to a good meal."
Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't know how much courtesy there was in Dong Cheng's words, he smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, when I see Mr. Cha later, I will definitely thank him for his kindness."
"In fact, I am flattered that you came to pick me up at the airport."
"Xuyuan, you are too modest. Given your current status, I feel a little nervous when I come to greet you!" Although Dong Cheng's words were a bit polite, they also contained some truth.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan's works are becoming more and more popular.
In particular, the hot serialization of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality has made many people have a much higher opinion of Cheng Xuyuan.
Some even say that he has become a master who can establish his own school.
After the greetings, Dong Cheng took Cheng Xuyuan to the hotel that had been booked long ago.
This time, Dong Cheng booked a high-end suite for Cheng Xuyuan, which is more than 50 square meters in size. From this point alone, it can be seen that he values Cheng Xuyuan very much.
Half an hour later, when Cheng Xuyuan and Dong Cheng arrived at the Treasure House, they found that waiting for him in the private room were not only Mr. Cha, but also several familiar faces from his memory.
Dong Cheng was also a little surprised when he saw these people.
When he came to pick up Cheng Xuyuan, he didn't expect that there would be so many outsiders at this dinner.
"Xuyuan, welcome, welcome!" Mr. Cha's face was full of smiles when he saw Cheng Xuyuan.
He had just said hello to Cheng Xuyuan when Li Hanxiang, who was sitting next to him, came over with a smile and said, "Xuyuan, if I hadn't known you were coming to Hong Kong this time, I would have gone to Yanjing to find you."
"You are a golden screenwriter now. I wonder how many people want to get a script from you?"
What Li Hanxiang said was not an exaggeration. With The Truman Show and The Shawshank Redemption winning awards and becoming big sellers, many directors began to pay attention to Cheng Xuyuan.
Many people also hope to cooperate with Cheng Xuyuan to increase their own popularity.
However, Cheng Xuyuan spends most of his time in school, so it is not easy to contact him.
Cheng Xuyuan and Li Hanxiang chatted for a while, and then Mr. Cha introduced a few other people.
Among these people, most are directors.
For example, Zhang Che and his group came here with the hope of working with Cheng Xuyuan to make a movie that would satisfy them.
Faced with such a situation, Cheng Xuyuan should have been enthusiastic, but he kept silent about the cooperation.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he is unwilling to take out his script so easily.
With Mr. Cha's warm hospitality, the meal was naturally a great success for both the host and the guests.
Li Hanxiang, Zhang Che and others also understood that if they wanted to discuss cooperation with Cheng Xuyuan, it would not be possible to conclude the deal with just a few words, so they made an appointment with Cheng Xuyuan to visit them again, and then said goodbye and left.
"Xuyuan, I heard Dong Cheng said that you plan to stay for a few more days this time." Mr. Cha asked Cheng Xuyuan with concern.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cha. I have nothing to do recently, so I plan to stay a few more days."
Mr. Cha smiled and said, "I heard that Xuyuan, you are about to graduate."
"Would you like to come work with us?"
"If Xuyuan is willing, I can help Xuyuan."
"Our newspaper also needs talents like Xuyuan."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally declined this invitation.
He doesn't have the mood to find a job now.
Mr. Cha did not dwell on Cheng Xuyuan's refusal. Although he did not know how much money Cheng Xuyuan earned at Milen Publishing House, he could estimate a rough figure based on sales.
From this number, he could feel that Cheng Xu was far from short of money.
But his invitation just now was indeed very sincere.
After all, talents like Cheng Xuyuan are really rare.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Xuyuan returned to the hotel. But when he was about to open the door, he saw a middle-aged man quickly approaching and said, "Mr. Cheng, I have something to talk to you about."
