Even if Wang Yunping hadn't stopped her from telling her, she might have already booked a flight back home after knowing the news.
According to the plan, there is still some work to be completed in Xingcheng, but my mother is sick and the New Year is approaching, so these two days don’t matter. I can make up for it after the New Year.
This year, the whole family spent the New Year in Shanghai, and my aunt's family also moved to Yunhua Mansion. After all, the place is big and we can live anywhere.
My cousins like to live in my uncle's house very much. After all, they are still young. Although the house Wei Yang bought for them is nice, it is definitely not as comfortable and grand as a big villa.
It’s not that Wei Yang is stingy. Given the relationship between him and his aunt, it doesn’t matter if he buys another villa. It’s not like he can’t afford it.
But it is impossible for the eldest aunt to accept it. After all, she is almost a biological mother, but not a biological mother, and she has her own children.
To put it bluntly, whatever Wei Yang gave to his parents, no matter if it was a villa or a manor, would still belong to him after he passed away. But his eldest aunt has her own children. After she passes away, who will the house belong to?
Wei Yang treats his aunt as his own mother, but he does not necessarily treat his cousins as his own brothers and sisters. Even if they were his own brothers, he would not directly give them villas worth hundreds of millions.
Wei Yang has already helped a lot, and even intends to buy a house for his cousins. He will also help with their work and other aspects in the future.
My aunt and uncle are already very grateful and satisfied about this. If they continue to be "greedy", it might affect their relationship.
Wei Yang also knew this truth. A great favor can lead to a great hatred. If it was just his aunt, anything would be fine, but when it came to other people, things would become much more complicated.
Fortunately, this house is big and my parents can’t fit in it originally. My aunt and uncle can move in and enjoy it when they have free time or after they retire. It’s just right for the four of us to keep each other company.
In the audio-visual room on the basement floor, Wei Yang was playing Pro Evolution Soccer with his cousin using a controller.
He usually plays relatively few games, and this one is one of them. Now he is too busy and has a special status, so he has less and less time to play football, so he can only satisfy his desire in the game.
Watching Rooney perform a hat trick on the screen and Wei Yang taking a huge lead of 6:1, his cousin was disheartened.
Wei Yang felt a little embarrassed. The opponent had only been in the game for less than half an hour. Did he kick too hard?
So Wei Yang let his cousin score two goals, otherwise the boy would become autistic and no one would play with him anymore.
While playing the game, Wei Yang also asked about their studies. They are now in high school and transferred to the Magic City under Wei Yang's arrangement.
However, it is still uncertain whether he can stay in Shanghai to take the college entrance examination and enjoy the relevant policies, because these policies change every year, and Wei Yang is also in contact with them to understand them.
Nowadays, the household registration and related policies in Shanghai are becoming more and more strictly controlled, and the threshold is also very high, not to mention for college entrance examination candidates.
Wei Yang didn't dare to make any guarantees, he could only say that he would try his best. If it didn't work, he would have to go back to his hometown to take the college entrance examination.
Both of them don't have good academic performance. My cousin can still strive to get a bachelor's degree, but even with the policies of Shanghai, she can probably only go to a junior college.
However, for Wei Yang, it doesn’t really matter which university the two of them go to. After all, he has watched them grow up since they were young, and he will definitely take care of them in the future.
The treatment these two receive is considered good. After all, they have the best relationship with Wei Yang and have watched him grow up since childhood. The cousins on my mother's side are treated much worse.
Two cousins, a younger cousin, and a cousin-in-law now work as drivers, security guards, etc. in Wei Yang's company or crew. There are also two younger cousins working as front desk and administrative staff, as well as several cousins of the Wei family.
Of course, Wei Yang did some manipulation to make their jobs easier than ordinary drivers and security guards, earn more money, and have a better title, but forget about the rest.
To put it bluntly, Wei Yang just has to pay some money to support them, as long as they don't cause trouble.
This situation is difficult to avoid. If you have become successful, you cannot watch your relatives eat coarse food. You should not care about the reputation of your hometown and you should also consider your parents' feelings.
The two elders have lived in Zao City for most of their lives. They have a good relationship with their relatives. When people come to them for help, some of them are their nephews and nieces, so it is difficult to turn them away.
Of course, Wei Yang didn't help everyone. The people who stayed behind were all honest and obedient. They were satisfied with a high salary and would go back to their hometown to praise him.
There were also a few people who were too ambitious and wanted to be managers or manage money for their cousin, and some who relied on his relatives to cause trouble, so he drove them away directly.
When relatives from their hometown came to plead for mercy, Wang Yunping and Wei Xia scolded them back.
They value their relatives, but they value their sons and nephews even more. Helping them is a favor, not a duty.
They have been on the streets for decades, and the two old ladies are no joke. They want to help with moral blackmail, and with just a few words they can win over a group of relatives to isolate and exclude them.
Now, in the Wang family and the Wei family, the status and appeal of the aunt and sister-in-law are extremely high.
Thinking of his mother and Wang Yunping's fighting power, Wei Yang couldn't help but shudder.
He had personally seen the two of them team up to curse at a dozen old women, and they even won...
…
During the Spring Festival, Wei Yang was able to take a short rest at home. He played games, tended flowers and plants, and took care of his cousins every day. He felt very relaxed and comfortable.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he invited several friends in Shanghai, including Hu Ge, Huang Ling, Xue Zhiqian, Qi Wei, etc., to his home to play mahjong.
These people made phone calls and brought a few close friends with them, in order to make friends with the big boss Wei Yang.
Wei Yang did not refuse. Firstly, it would be more lively with more people, and secondly, most of these people were from Shanghai, so there would be no harm in getting to know them.
Boss Wei’s threshold for entry is not low, and most people don’t dare to come. The few people who came are all well-known. The more noteworthy ones are Wu Gao and Deng Chao and Sun Niangniang.
Wu Gao was brought by Huang Ling. He did not live in the Magic City, but in the capital. However, he stayed in the Magic City for the New Year this time.
Wei Yang looked at the two people, recalled the gossip he had seen on the Internet before, and smiled knowingly.
Huang Ling had known him for a long time and they had a good relationship, so they spoke relatively casually and Huang Ling couldn't help but complain.
"Don't get me wrong, we are just friends, he just happens to stay in the Magic City."
"I understand. I understand everything!"
Wei Yang nodded and chatted with Wu Gao. To be honest, he really wanted to get to know this person.

Blue Whale will have a lot of film and television theme song work in the future, and it is impossible for him to write them all. He does not remember so many songs, nor does he have so much time and energy, so he has long wanted to find an expert for long-term cooperation.
Although Wu Gao’s price is not low, it is famous and its price-performance ratio is quite good compared to Jay Chou and JJ Lin.
In addition to Wu Gao, Xue Zhiqian is also the same. He can write and sing, and the price is right, so we can start some cooperation.
Naturally, the two were willing to do so. It was a money-making business, not to mention that Blue Whale’s projects were all hit dramas.
No matter how good the music is, it still needs the bonus of the platform. If it weren’t for “Palace”, “The Offering of Love” would definitely not be as popular as it is now.
Therefore, by cooperating with Blue Whale, if the TV series becomes popular, they can also benefit from it. This is a win-win situation for both parties.
After finishing the chat in the afternoon, Wei Yang had another conversation with Empress Sun and her husband.
Empress Sun is from Shanghai, and logically speaking she is a descendant of the Shanghai circle, but in fact she mainly mixed in the Beijing circle before.
She became famous for filming Hai Yan's dramas in her early years and has been the number one actress of Hairun for many years. The two sides still have a certain relationship now, but Sun is basically independent.
Not only Hairun, but also director Zheng Xiaolong, who collaborated on his masterpiece "The Legend of Zhen Huan", is also a big shot in the Beijing circle.
However, although the TV series is mainly based on the Beijing circle, it does not mean that Empress Sun has nothing to do with the Shanghai circle.
The movies she starred in, such as "Painted Skin", "Robot", and "Guan Yunchang", seem to be produced by Hong Kong resources on the surface, but in fact the main or even the first producer is Shanghai Film Group.
So it is not difficult to understand why Sun Niangniang, who seems to be more closely tied to the Beijing and Hong Kong circles, is always considered a part of the Shanghai circle, and even a prominent figure in the later period.
Although everyone's cooperation is based on interests first, when it comes to this kind of regional circle, there will inevitably be a bonus based on place of origin.
People who were born and raised in Shanghai are able to mix well in the Shanghai circle, and those who were born in Beijing are naturally more likely to be favored by the bigwigs in the Beijing circle than those from other regions.
This is human nature. It is easier to get close to people who are from the same hometown and have the same customs.
Wei Yang himself also has a better impression of people from Shandong Province. Blue Whale director Zhang Yongxin has only been in the company for a short time, but he is now highly valued and even has the momentum to overshadow Li Muge who joined earlier. It is hard to say that his identity as a native of Zaoshi City has no added value.
Although Sun Niangniang has no deep connection with the Shanghai circle, if she is willing to come back, with her qualifications and her noble origin, she can immediately become a flagship of the Shanghai circle.
At this time, Empress Sun, who had just married Deng Chao last year and had settled in Shanghai, had already made relevant plans.
This can also be seen from her previous life. Since "Hot Mom", every drama of hers has been premiered or even exclusively broadcast on Shanghai TV. She won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress twice in a row, one of which was even a "complementary award".
The much-anticipated "The Legend of Zhen Huan" did not win the Best Actress award, but the following year, she defeated Mei Ting, the actress of "Parents' Love", with the ordinary family drama "Hot Mom", and was said to have won a replacement for the Best Actress award.
The matter of making up the prize is outrageous. The win or loss is over, why should it be made up, and why can only Sun Niangniang make up the prize? Wei Yang didn't want to talk about the tricks here. On the surface, Sun Niangniang and her husband came here for a gathering, but in fact, it was a bit like a mountain visit.
Now in the Shanghai circle, especially on the small screen, apart from those with official backgrounds, the private sector basically respects Wei Yang, and even some large companies have to give him some face.
Putting his strength and reputation aside, his relationship with Modu TV is unmatched by ordinary people.
Even though Empress Sun filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she is much better than Blue Whale in several hit movies. And for Wei Yang, being a native of Shanghai is not a big deal.
Even for the couple, who are both actors, they have also thought about working with Blue Whale.
So Empress Sun and her husband were very humble this time, and Wei Yang did not put on airs. The couple did have some skills, and many of their projects were promising. Now they were willing to get close to them, so they could cooperate and make money.
