Chapter 264 Part 2 (Second Update)
Two□□:
Upon hearing his voice, Mu Feng exchanged a few hurried words with the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up.
"You're back." Mu Feng looked at Ye Qingxi sitting next to him. "How was filming? Was it fun?"
"Not bad," Ye Qingxi said. "Uncle Feng and the assistant director both praised my acting, saying that I acted with great spirit."
"Really? Then when your movie comes out, Grandpa will go see it."
Ye Qingxi was surprised that he wanted to go, and quickly said, "I'll invite you, Grandpa, to go then."
"Okay," Mu Feng replied.
Mu Shaowu: ...Why didn't you think of watching my movie when it was released?
It's true that sons and grandsons have different fates!
Mu Shaowu sat down on the sofa as usual, and then heard Ye Qingxi chattering to her father about what happened on set.
“Dad acted exceptionally well this time too, everyone praised him.”
"It's good that I didn't hold you back."
Mu Shaowu: ...
Ye Qingxi: ...Grandpa, don't be so sharp.
"Oh, Grandpa, I also made a friend."
"Friends?" Mu Feng asked in confusion, "The young actors on your film set?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "He is Uncle Feng's grandfather, Feng's great-grandfather."
Mu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "Feng Ming?!"
Ye Qingxi nodded; he had guessed that his grandfather knew him.
"How did you and Fengming become friends?"
Ye Qingxi then explained to him, and finally he said, "So now, we're best friends."
Mu Feng: ...
While Ye Qingxi wasn't paying attention, Mu Feng secretly glanced at Mu Shaowu: You come over here in a bit.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu could only nod: "Mm."
"You've gained quite a lot from this filming experience," Mu Feng said.
"Yes." Ye Qingxi thought so too.
The two chatted intimately for a while, then Qin Cheng and Mu Zheng came down, and Ye Qingxi went to play with Qin Cheng.
Mu Feng called Mu Shaowu into his study and sat him on the sofa. "Feng Ming and Xiao Xi are friends, really just because Xiao Xi lent him the toilet and gave him a bottle of yogurt? Do you believe that?"
"Of course I don't believe it." Mu Shaowu sat down next to him. "But Xiaoxi is getting along well with him now, and happiness is happiness in the moment. I don't want Xiaoxi to miss out on this happiness. Besides, he hasn't told Xiaoxi about me and Feng Que, so I've just turned a blind eye."
Mu Shaowu also had his own thoughts on this matter.
"Xiao Xi will only be filming for forty days. After filming, she will leave the crew, leave S City, and return here. At that time, they will be on different sides of the city, not seeing each other. Their contact will decrease, and their feelings will naturally fade away."
Just like the children Ye Qingxi met on "Look the Daddy".
At first, they would chat in the group constantly. Gradually, everyone got more used to hanging out with their friends and talked less and less. Now, basically only Tao Tao and He Lei keep in touch with Ye Qingxi and send her messages frequently.
Even Huo Zinan and Mu Shaowu still remembered the flower he didn't give away, and how he stood at the restaurant entrance, listening to Ye Qingxi and Zhong Yan's voices, watching them stand together, with undisguised disappointment in his eyes.
He thought Huo Zinan really liked their Xiao Xi, but now he's slowly stopping messaging Ye Qingxi.
That's life. As long as the distance is far enough, as long as the distance between each other's lives is far enough, then you will gradually fade out of each other's world.
The same goes for Grandpa Feng.
Mu Feng listened to his words and felt that they made some sense.
Ye Qingxi views Fengming as a pet friend, so once they stop communicating about pets, their relationship will naturally fade.
Moreover, Ye Qingxi had already returned here by then and made true friends like Pei Liang.
Even if his relationship with a pet friend on WeChat fades, it won't have a significant impact on him.
"Anyway, don't let your affair with Feng Que affect Xiao Xi too much," Mu Feng said.
"I know," Mu Shaowu assured him.
When it got dark, Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng had finished playing, and the Mu family's dinner finally began.
It's Lunar New Year's Eve again, another time for family reunions.
Ye Qingxi looked at the people in front of her. It was good that none of their family members were missing.
None of the things described in the book happened. They were still fine, sitting happily together in front of him.
"Cheers." Mu Shaoyan raised his glass.
"Cheers~" Ye Qingxi enthusiastically reached out and clinked glasses with his.
The clinking of glasses rang out one after another.
The beer, soft drinks, yogurt, and red wine of everyone mingled together through the transparent glass.
Despite being of different qualities, different personalities, different hobbies, and different lives, they have come together at this moment, in this room.
Mutual tolerance, mutual dependence, mutual love and being loved.
Ye Qingxi withdrew her hand and slowly drank her yogurt.
Fireworks went off outside the window; I don't know whose house they were setting off, but they were so bright they shone on their windows.
This year has also been a very good year.
After dinner and fireworks, Mu Shaoyan took Ye Qingxi to his room.
"Ta-da!" He opened the wardrobe, and a row of clothes appeared neatly in front of Ye Qingxi.
From sweaters to coats, from jeans to boots, you'd think this was his wardrobe if you didn't know better.
"Give it a try," Mu Shaoyan said with a smile.
Seeing his expectant look, Ye Qingxi had no choice but to start taking off and putting on her clothes.
He's cute, short but thin, and with fair skin, he can wear almost anything and looks good in anything.
When Ye Qingxi changed into a different outfit, Mu Shaoyan exclaimed, "So cute!"
"pretty!"
"handsome!"
"cool!"
Ye Qingxi was tired from changing, so she sat down on the sofa and began to rest.
Mu Shaoyan then moved closer to him and took out a bankbook from his pocket.
Ye Qingxi: !! You're so young, and you even know how to use a bankbook!
"This is for you," Mu Shaoyan said.
Ye Qingxi asked in confusion, "Didn't we already give out red envelopes?"
Just after setting off fireworks in the courtyard, Mu Shaoyan gave him and Qin Cheng a red envelope each.
Why are you giving me money again?
"This is our steamed bun shop's profit share for this year." Mu Shaoyan opened it to show him. "A few days ago, Duan Yi and I finished settling the accounts and then divided everyone's money. This is your share."
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi was shocked, "Our steamed bun shop has only been open for six months, and we've already made so much money?!"
"This isn't entirely due to my and your brother Duan Yi's good looks~" Mu Shaoyan clicked his tongue.
Ye Qingxi laughed, "That's true."
The steamed bun shop became popular shortly after its opening thanks to Mu Shaoyan, the "most handsome receptionist." Later, Duan Yi also became the "most handsome receptionist," and the two had a looks-off competition. Before their father could even make an appearance, the steamed bun shop became an internet sensation.
With its great reputation, delicious taste, and affordable price, it's no wonder it's made a lot of money.
“I figured you don’t lack money right now, so I helped you put this money into a savings account and set it as a fixed deposit. That way, I’ll save your annual dividends until you turn eighteen. When you’re older, you can use this money to do whatever you want.”
Mu Shaoyan said gently, "You can travel to wherever you want, start a business, or help those you want to help—anything is possible. Then, these can become your capital, and you can use them however you like. What do you think?"
Ye Qingxi looked at him and felt that he seemed to have grown up and matured without her even realizing it.
When they met a year ago, he was still an immature child with no plans and no idea where he was going in the future. But now, he has begun to pave the way for his future.
His uncle is slowly, little by little, moving towards the future he wants.
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
"Take this passbook for now, and I'll give you a new one next year."
"good."
Mu Shaoyan put his arm around him and said softly, "Duan Yi and I have discussed it. If the steamed bun shop is still doing this well next year, we'll see if we can open a chain store. However, quality control is a big problem with chain stores, so there will probably be a lot of things to deal with then."
"It's alright, Uncle. You and Brother Duan Yi are both so smart, you'll definitely be able to handle it."
"We'll discuss it and then tell you."
After all, Ye Qingxi was also a shareholder. Although Mu Shaoyan thought he might not understand, he still felt that his nephew needed to know.
That way, he can feel a sense of participation.
Ye Qingxi looked at him and felt as if she could see his shining future through the light in his eyes.
His uncle will definitely have a very, very good, bright and glorious future.
Mu Shaowu was somewhat surprised when he saw Ye Qingxi's bankbook.
Although the Chenxi Steamed Bun Shop is named after Chenxi, it has basically been run by Mu Shaoyan and Duan Yi.
At first, Ye Qingxi was too young, so he could only be the mascot of the store. Later, after recording "Look the Daddy", he became too famous, and the steamed bun store became a popular online store, so Ye Qingxi wisely stopped going.
Therefore, Mu Shaowu never paid much attention to this steamed bun shop.
Looking at the numbers in his bankbook, Mu Shaowu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This trendy shop is quite profitable!"
"Of course," Ye Qingxi said. "Otherwise, why would so many stores want to become internet-famous stores?"
However, most trendy online stores don't last long. To survive, you still have to rely on quality. In this respect, Ye Qingxi is very confident in their steamed bun shop.
"My uncle said he would help me open a savings account so I can save money for when I grow up."
Mu Shaowu nodded. Putting everything else aside, Mu Shaoyan's doting affection for Ye Qingxi was truly genuine.
When did Young Master Mu open a savings account? And did he put it in a fixed deposit?
I guess I only saw it when I was watching TV.
They actually went to the trouble of opening a savings account and making a fixed deposit just for his son; that shows how much thought they put into it.
"Then you should save it carefully and use it when you grow up."
Mu Shaowu flicked his nose and returned the bankbook to him.
Ye Qingxi took it and placed it at the very bottom of her drawer.
At that time, Ye Qingxi did not know that the numbers in his savings account were not only his dividends, but also Mu Shaoyan's dividends.
For the first time, Mu Shaoyan earned money through his own efforts. It had nothing to do with his family, his father, or his brothers. It was only related to himself, his friends, his friends' mothers, and his nephew.
He was very happy and excited, so he bought gifts for his family.
But when he tried to buy a gift for his nephew, he was in a bit of a dilemma.
He had already bought Ye Qingxi too many gifts, and he didn't know what to give in order to show the special nature of this first time he had earned money through his own efforts.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to give him a special gift.
He deposited all the money he had left over from buying gifts into the savings account he had prepared for Ye Qingxi, saving it for his future.
At that time, he could do whatever he wanted.
“I’ll save a sum of money for him every year. He’s only six years old now, so I can save for twelve years. When he grows up, he’ll be a little millionaire,” Mu Shaoyan said to Duan Yi with anticipation.
Looking into the light in his eyes, Duan Yi felt that his heart was like the dew on a summer morning—crystal clear, beautiful, and precious.
He turned his gaze to the sunset in the distance, "Then Xiaoxi's future will definitely be bright."
“This is exactly what I want,” Mu Shaoyan said. “I decided before that I must make a lot of money, so that Xiaoxi can do whatever she wants, help whomever she wants, without hesitation or looking back.”
"He can do it if he wants to."
