What Li Shaoting wants to know most now is who the man is who sent Ye Shuning back today. He needs to know more about the situation for his brother.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "You're working with someone on a movie. Is he the person who sent you back today? Is he reliable?"
Ye Shuning knew Li Shaoting would ask, and she had nothing to hide. "His name is Qin Zongye. We were able to come to Nangang by sneaking onto his boat. Although he discovered we had sneaked onto his boat from the beginning, he didn't kick us off. He even helped us get legal ID cards when we arrived in Nangang.
He was our benefactor, even the house we were living in was found with Qin Zongye's help. Later, I happened to be hired as a fashion designer at his garment factory, and that's when we started to interact.
Later, I wrote the script and we collaborated on a film, which later became a huge hit. He was my mentor.
We are each investing half of the money in this movie that is currently being filmed, and we will split the box office revenue earned by Wanhua Film Company equally.
The Qin family holds a very important position in Nangang. The reason why I cooperate with Qin Zongye is that I want to use the power of the Qin family to get protection.
Gangs are prevalent in Nangang. If you don’t have someone to support you from behind, it will be very dangerous. If you are targeted by them, you will either be destroyed or controlled to make money for them.
I'm not strong enough to compete with them right now, so I need help from someone more powerful. The Qin family is a relatively principled family, so it's safer to cooperate with them.
Actually, the Ling family is a good partner. They have a strong position in Nangang, and I saved the young master of the Ling family. However, the Ling family is still in chaos, and the family members are fighting among themselves. I don't want to get involved in it yet. We may cooperate when there is an opportunity in the future.
Li Shaoting saw that Ye Shuning was speaking very frankly and knew that she probably had no other thoughts about that man. He was very impressed by the fact that Ye Shuning had fully understood the situation in Nangang in such a short time and had found a strong partner.
The third brother was the most fortunate of the three brothers, as he was able to meet Ye Shuning when she was at her lowest point. And the two of them knew each other and fell in love, which was undoubtedly enviable.
He would also help his brother keep this happiness. But the most important thing was to get his brother to come.
The situation in the mainland cannot continue like this. Sooner or later it will open up, and then my brother and his friends can go back.
Some departments in the mainland have also set up branches in Nangang and will also send people to Nangang, so it is not impossible for my brother to come here. As long as he has a legitimate identity, he can do it.
Li Shaoting simply wanted to understand Ye Shuning's current situation and didn't interfere with her decision. He believed he didn't have the young girl's skills in business and filmmaking, so it was best not to make any irresponsible remarks.
Ye Shuning didn't know if Li Shaoting had a place to stay, so she asked, "Brother Li, where are you staying now? Do you have a place to stay?"
Li Shaoting said: "I am staying in a hotel now."
Ye Shuning said, "It costs money to stay in a hotel, and it's not convenient. If possible, you can stay at my house. You can also accompany Jingyu and share a room with Jingyu.
I've been filming a movie lately and can't manage my schedule, often finishing work very late. Qin Zongye wants Jingyu to stay at his house. If you can pick Jingyu up from school in the evening, I won't let Jingyu go to his place.
Li Shaoting's budget for coming here was limited, so the hotel he stayed in was quite poor, far inferior to Ye Shuning's. Staying at Ye Shuning's was certainly better. He could also spend time with his son.
He didn't hesitate any longer. "Then I'll check out the room over there and move the luggage over. I'll pick up Jingyu from school in the evening and take care of him at night. You can just focus on your work."
Ye Shuning felt relieved when she heard this. She also hoped that Li Shaoting would spend more time with Li Jingyu during his time in Nangang.
She didn't know where Qin Zongye would be today, so she called Uncle Xiang and asked him not to pick up Li Jingyu.
After seeing off Ye Shuning and her niece, Qin Zongye returned to the old house. Today was the first day of the new year, so he had to spend more time with his parents.
When Jin Huilian saw her son coming back from sending someone off, she pulled him aside and said, "Aye, Xiaoning is a really good girl. You shouldn't miss out on such an outstanding girl. Marry her home as soon as possible to be my daughter-in-law."
Qin Zongye put his arm around his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, Xiaoning and I are just friends now. I like her, but I haven't told her clearly. I'm not sure if Xiaoning likes me or not. I'm afraid she'll distance herself from me if she rejects me."
After all, we are not just friends now, we are also business partners. I don't want to lose such a good partner, so I can't be careless."
Qin Hongchang, who was sitting next to him, said, "Aye is right. We can't rush into this matter. The girl is only eighteen years old and has just come of age. It's better not to make it clear until we are completely sure."
This little girl is not comparable to ordinary people. Judging from what she said today, she is a person with great ambitions and will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. It will only be beneficial for Aye to cooperate with her.
Even if they don't like Aye and can't marry into our family, don't let things get sour. A movie's box office revenue of tens of millions depends on how well this new one does. If it's still a big hit, Aye, try to get her to invest in your Wanhua Film Company. That way, she'll become the boss, and you won't have to worry about her getting poached.
How can we control a person who is like a money-printing machine in our own hands?"
Ye Shuning estimated that Li Shaoting would not be able to eat well in Nangang. After all, most of the food here was from the south, which would definitely not suit Li Shaoting's taste as he was from the north.
Ye Shuning made braised pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, celery and shrimp, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the evening. The four dishes were quite large, and she steamed a pot of rice, which was enough for the three of them.
Li Shaoting, who was playing with toys with his son in the living room, smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and felt very hungry. His stomach started to growl.
He'd been tortured by the food in Nangang these past few days. He was unfamiliar with the area and didn't know where to find northern cuisine that suited his taste, so he could only eat the food here. It was okay for a day or two, but eating it every day was unbearable.
It seems that he can have a delicious meal today. He thinks staying at Ye Shuning's place is a wise choice.
The food was soon served, and Ye Shuning said, "Brother Li, let's eat. Go wash Jingyu's hands."
Li Shaoting took his son to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then the father and son sat together at the dining table.
Ye Shuning made a bowl of rice for everyone and said, "Brother Li, I don't know what dishes you like to eat. I cook home-cooked dishes. You're welcome."
