Chapter 215
The Xia family’s Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was very lively, and Chu Huaiqin’s appearance was even more exciting. Looking at Chu Huaiqin following behind the old man, the guests looked at each other knowingly. On the surface, he was Xia Entropy’s friend, but who here wasn’t a shrewd person?
"The younger generation likes to play and is interested in filming. The elders here are from various industries, so it's up to you to take care of them." The old man raised a glass of juice and clinked glasses with everyone with a smile.
"You're welcome, of course," the guest holding the wine quickly replied. See? They call them friends, but what elder in the family would be so protective of a younger friend? They're just short of saying, "This is my family, you guys protect me."
What's more, there are few of them in the business world, and even fewer in the entertainment industry. Most of them only hold official positions. Even if the old man asked them to take care of it, they really can't do it. However, the recent incident between Chu Huaiqin and Chen Minghui...
Thinking of this, everyone had to look at Chu Huaiqin differently.
"Grandpa, thank you." Chu Huaiqin helped the old man walk to the sofa. The old man couldn't stand for long and felt a little tired after taking Chu Huaiqin to greet everyone.
"Don't be so polite. To be honest, when Xia En ran away from home, if you hadn't adopted him for half a year, who knows what would have happened to him." When Xia En ran away from home at the age of thirteen, the Xia family was unable to reach him. The old man couldn't sleep well every day, fearing that he would get bad news one day. When they found Xia En, half a year later, he found that he had grown fat and white. Xia's father was so angry that he beat him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for a month. So when Xia En was caught and brought back, he failed to escape several times, which was also because his legs were not very flexible.
"Actually, I was lucky to have him accompany me during that half year." Chu Huaiqin turned his head to look at Xia En who was standing on the right side of Grandpa Xia. Seeing his uneasy look, he smiled secretly. It seemed that he had been taught a heavy lesson after he came back.
"By the way, Xia En is clamoring to marry you. What do you say?" Old Master Xia sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed old.
Chu Huaiqin was stunned. He didn't expect that Xia En had already told the elders in his family. Judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to object. It was so smooth.
Xia En had mentioned marriage to him before, and since the old man had spoken, he naturally agreed. However, his relationship with Chen Minghui was still unresolved, and since he was currently filming "Star Wars," marriage naturally took a back seat.
The old man was also very interested in the scene of "Star Wars". After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Huaiqin joined the crew again, and the old man also went to the crew every day. He wanted to watch it in advance, which made it difficult for the people in the theater. The Chinese actors were even more alert. The old man's identity was not ordinary, and they had to perform well.
The most important part of the sixth part of "Star Wars" is the second half, which mainly tells the story of the last army in the apocalyptic world that was still at war with zombies on Earth before the establishment of the Federation. Before evacuating the Earth, it received a distress signal from 100,000 people in Qiongyatai. As the commander, Chu Shaoqing led his soldiers to Qiongyatai to rescue them despite his subordinates' opposition.
The zombies are coming in waves, vowing to turn every human into a monster like them.
The man in the black windbreaker stood in front of the broken bridge, his fingers gently stroking the silver spear in his hand, a cold smile on his lips. "Andre, you take command. Jiang Yang, you keep an eye on the satellite."
General Andre was shocked, "You want to leave? You are the coach!"
The man smiled and said, "I prefer being at the front rather than being at the back."
There was an astonishing fighting spirit in his eyes.
Andre was stunned for a moment. He had always thought he was an emperor, and for the first time he realized that he might rather be a general.
"Stand still artillery fire, all departments ready to attack."
The silver spear in his hand was swung out, making a sharp sound.
The sky of the apocalypse is dark and lifeless, and the roars of zombies are like songs from hell.
“Charge!”
The deafening sound of the charge resounded through the sky.
A silver light flashed by, a cold light that made people shudder. The man holding the long gun and the soldiers wielding the big swords rushed into the group of corpses together—
With his presence, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more exciting. The commander's fierce and murderous aura enveloped every soldier like a protective shield, making the swords in their hands sharper.
General Andre looked at the man with compassion in his eyes during the war and suddenly realized:
Coexistence and common prosperity, this is the inextricable connection between him and his soldiers.
He loves them, and they are his sharpest knives.
"Be careful, there are still zombies, large-scale..."
Technician Xia Jiangyang was shocked, but it was too late. The sonar calculator used to count zombies showed that there were more than 200,000 zombies appearing. Their speed was astonishing, and the people fighting had no time to retreat.
"Quick, save you! We can't let them get behind you."
"General, the zombies are crossing the bridge."
"It's too late, retreat!"
A technical error had put everyone in a desperate situation. Their commander, who wasn't even wearing protective gear, was rushing to the front, trying to carve a bloody path for the retreating troops.
He will be hurt by the zombies.
These were the words that came to every soldier's mind. They waved their swords and tried to approach him, wanting to rescue him from the zombie swarm, but the fog rose, and when the fog cleared, he was gone.
"I'm going to skin them alive."
These were the last words spoken by the Marshal-in-Chief when he received the news upon returning from space.
Millions of soldiers on the battlefield were driven to tears and fell to their knees, crying loudly.
The Marshal has returned, but they have lost His Excellency.
The atmosphere in the theater was solemn, and many people's eyes were red, for the sacrificed soldiers and for the supreme commander, Chu Shaoqing, who disregarded his personal safety and rushed to the front line with the soldiers.
The rescue scene at Qiongyatai accounts for two-thirds of the entire movie. It was filmed for three consecutive months and was completed today.
"Why is it over? Why is it over? What's next?" The old man is addicted to watching it and wants to watch more!
"Grandpa, this is the end of the sixth part." Chu Huaiqin took off his makeup and took the old man to the nanny car. It was already December and the weather was very cold. According to the arrangements in previous years, Grandpa Xia had gone to the south to recuperate, but this year because of his addiction to acting, he stubbornly stayed in the imperial capital.
"Why so fast?" Old Master Xia sighed. It seemed he would have to ask the old housekeeper to read to him again. "But it's better to finish the filming early. It's too cold."
Chu Huaiqin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to reply, Anthony's voice rang out from behind him, "Chu, don't forget the wrap-up party tonight."
"Got it." Chu Huaiqin turned around and shouted, "Grandpa, let's go back quickly. It's windy today and your hands are cold."
"That's right, Grandpa, you should go back quickly." A man in a black suit and knee-length windbreaker got off the luxury bridge car. He was sturdy and handsome. Seeing that Chu Huaiqin was only wearing a sweater, he strode over, took off his coat and put it on Chu Huaiqin, "Why are you wearing so little? You must have caught a cold."
"It's okay. Why are you here so early today?" Chu Huaiqin was quite surprised. Xia En usually came around five o'clock, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
"I knew you'd wrap up today, so I finished my work this morning." Xia En opened the car door and let Grandpa and Chu Huaiqin get in before continuing, "Brother's on a business trip. Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?"
Xia Entang drove here by himself today and didn't ask for a driver.
"I have to go back to the company to attend the wrap-up banquet tonight. You can eat with Grandpa!" Chu Huaiqin leaned back in his chair, looking at the mature Xia En in the driver's seat from behind, and smiled. Xia En, whose face was still childish six months ago, has grown up suddenly, his bones have become much harder. Because Chu Huaiqin has to film, he has been helping Chu Huaiqin with cases for the past six months, and he also has to go back to work at the company. His personality has become much more stable.
But in front of Chu Huaiqin, he still acted childishly.
Chu Huaiqin was quite curious about Xia Entropy's willingness to return to the company, but later learned that this was a deal he had made with his grandfather and father. They would help Chu Huaiqin compete with Chen Minghui, and Xia Entropy would work hard to grow himself, truly take over the company, and become a man who could afford Chu Huaiqin's life.
When Chu Huaiqin heard this, he didn't know whether he should scold him. He, Chu Huaiqin, has been the support of the Chu family since he was a child. Now someone suddenly says that he wants to take responsibility for Chu Huaiqin's life. Isn't it underestimating him?
But I was very touched.
But Xia En didn't know that even if he still didn't take over the company, the old man would not sit idly by and watch the affairs of Chu Huaiqin and Chen Minghui. The Xia family would protect their own people.
"I don't want to have dinner with you guys. Xiao En, you accompany Qingqing to the wrap-up banquet. Qingqing's stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, so you take care of it." The old man was thinking about going out to eat something delicious with the old butler tonight.
"Grandpa, I told you not to call me Qingqing!" Xia En was angry. He didn't know when his grandfather suddenly started calling her the same name as him. This was the title Xia En has been called since he was a child. No matter who called her that, he always felt that someone was stealing her away from him.
The old man was also annoyed, "I'm calling you, I'm calling you, Qingqing, Qingqing..."
"hehe!"
Chu Huaiqin was amused. The more Xia Entang refused to be called, the more his family enjoyed teasing him. No matter how well Xia Entang had done in the business world over the past six months, in the eyes of the Xia family and Chu Huaiqin, he was still a child!
The wrap party was scheduled for Huanglu, and Xia Entang used his gold card to get a discount. All the main actors showed up, and Xia Entang, as a family member and discounter, was fortunate enough to be seated next to Chu Huaiqin.
"Chu, it was so great acting with you. I hope we can work together again next time." Wade raised his glass and toasted Chu Huaiqin.
"I'm also honored to be able to film with you." Chu Huaiqin said very politely, but there was nothing he could do because a jealous person next to him was staring at him with a fierce look.
"Pfft, ah, you are still so polite." After saying that, Wade took a sip of white wine and his face turned red.
Chu Huaiqin was about to drink when his hand was stopped.
"Grandpa said you can't drink." Xia Entang held Chu Huaiqin's hand and said to Wade, "He's had a bad stomach lately. I'll drink for him. Do you mind?"
"Of course." Wade was taken aback. He had a deep memory of Xia Entropy. For the past six months, whenever he had a scene with Chu, it was this man who stared at him with those sinister eyes, sending chills down his spine. To avoid the possibility of being killed, he had improved his acting skills considerably, just to be able to pull off the scenes with Chu in one go.
Anthony, who was watching from the sidelines, was amused and said, "What's wrong with you guys? Go give a toast to the leading actor, quick."
Huangluo's fees weren't cheap; he'd already spent a fortune on this film, but as the director of "Star Wars," the wrap party had to be held in the best possible place, so he bit the bullet and chose Huangluo. If he could get Xia Entang drunk and have him pay for the entire meal, that would be the perfect wrap-up gift!
As soon as the others saw Anthony's sinister smile, they knew he had bad intentions, but they couldn't offend the director! So, cup after cup of white wine flew towards Chu Huaiqin, but was blocked by Xia En. Not long after, Xia En was drunk and unconscious.
Chu Huaiqin was at a loss for words and had no choice but to take Xia Entang back home. When Anthony and the others finished their meal and went to pay, the manager insisted that they needed a card, a real card, even a membership number. Chu Huaiqin took Xia Entang and the card with him and left.
"Can't use facial recognition?" Anthony said in a daze.
"Whose face do you want to scan?" the manager asked very politely.
"Xia Entropy!" Anthony took it for granted.
The manager nodded and looked around, "Mr. Xia is not here!"
An Fanni: "..."
"It must be Chu's revenge." Anthony suddenly remembered the look and smile Chu Huaiqin gave him when he left with Xia Entang. "Sure enough, you can't mess with him."
Chu Huaiqin took Xia En to his house instead of Xia's residence. He and Xia En usually lived here, and only returned to Xia's house on Saturdays and Sundays.
Xia En had grown up and gained weight. Chu Huaiqin was already out of breath when he brought him back to the room. When he wanted to put him on the bed, he didn't expect that the drunk man would fall down with him in his arms.
"pain."
Chu Huaiqin covered his nose. This guy has become more muscular recently.
"My dear, my dear..."
"Here I am, calling my soul!"
Chu Huaiqin was lying on Xia En's body and wanted to get up, but Xia En held his waist and turned him over, and he was pressed underneath.
His hazy eyes were burning, his throat was rolling, and his breathing became heavy. As a man, Chu Huaiqin knew what was going on at a glance.
Speaking of which, although he and Xia En had already made a promise to get married, they did everything they could except three times. It was not that they deliberately avoided it, but there was always a lack of a wedge.
The man on top of me slowly lowered his head...
Chu Huaiqin thought: The opportunity has come.
The next day, Xia En was the first to wake up, followed by Chu Huaiqin. When he opened his eyes, Xia En was already standing at the bedside holding porridge.
Chu Huaiqin: "What are you doing?"
Xia Entropy: "I, I heard that people who do it for the first time can't get out of bed."
Chu Huaiqin: “…”
A few days later, the feud between Chu Huaiqin and the Chen family finally came to an end. Chen Zigao was sentenced to ten years for murder, and Chen Minghui was sentenced to three years for economic crimes and was ordered to return the Chu shares.
The current Gaohui Group is the predecessor of the Chu family. How to offset the shares is another long case. However, for Chu Huaiqin, this is the end of his relationship with the Chen family.
On the day the verdict was announced, Chu Huaiqin and Xia En went to visit the graves of his grandfather and mother. When they were coming back and waiting at the traffic light, they saw a group of noisy people making a fuss.
He is from the Chen family.
Chu Huaiqin quickly recognized that the person running in front was Mrs. Chen, who was acting crazy, and the one chasing after her was the Chen family’s housekeeper and bodyguard, who was shouting something loudly.
"This is the price they have to pay." Xia Entang grabbed Chu Huaiqin's hand and comforted him.
"Yeah!" Chu Huaiqin nodded, leaned back in his chair, and thought of his grandfather. Just as he was about to lament the passing of time, Xia En pulled him and hugged him.
“You are not allowed to be unhappy.”
"good."
Chu Huaiqin smiled. How could he not be happy? He was just a little emotional.
From then on, the Chen family had nothing to do with him.
More than half a month after the filming of "Star Wars" was completed, New Year's Day arrived. On this day, the variety show "Survival in the Wild" issued an announcement, shocking fans at home and abroad.
"Oh my God, this year, this year, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."
"Ahhh, Anthony, I love you. This is so great. I can see Wade surviving in the wild again. He is the first wilderness survival champion."
"Zorro, the most romantic man in the history of wilderness survival, I can see him again. I want to scream and tell everyone in the world how happy I am."
"Alexander, the most violent champion in the history of wilderness survival, awesome."
"Edward, the walking robot. Oh, I can see him sternly arguing with people again."
"Hahaha, Peppa Pig, hahaha Peppa Pig, the funniest wilderness survival champion, God, he will also compete."
"Ahhhh, seeing my brother again, the most popular champion in history, go ahead, charge!"
"I'm so excited. Will the North Pole be Chu Huaiqin's home turf?"
"Whoever wins this year will be the strongest in the world!"
"Oh, this year's wilderness survival competition is so exciting. All the previous champions are participating. Anthony, so cool."
Audiences were overwhelmed by the announcements about this year's Wild Survival. The seventh season of Wild Survival will take place in the Arctic, with six former champions and nine others participating in a voting process to select nine more past contestants, for a total of fifteen participants, to challenge the seventh edition of Wild Survival.
"There are only nine spots. I, Ilona, must qualify and vote."
"Liman, Liman, I still want to see him and Chu fighting each other, give me the votes!"
"Little Monk, Xia Entang, Lin Zhinan, Su Huaichen, you must return to me intact! Charge, fight your way out!"
The Arctic race was scheduled to start in March. Now it is January, and there are still two months left for voting. Fans all over the world have started to move. Every day is spent voting. The atmosphere is very warm, making it the most sensational pre-race of "Survivor" in history.
The author has something to say: The next chapter will start the Arctic chapter.
