Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1780 "Hey, Kid" - Jia Yuanyuan, Fang Yun, Fang Xiang

On January 25th, Jiang Chen arrived in Shenzhen.

Why come to Shenzhen?

It's because Liang Shuang is about to have a holiday.

Jiang Chen hadn't seen Liang Shuang for a long time, so he planned to see her one last time before she left Shenzhen.

After spending two days with Liang Shuang, Liang Shuang finally left Shenzhen by plane.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't do nothing in Shenzhen.

The First World, while not as dangerous, is in terms of military force. For the Jiang family, military force is merely a means of protecting the family from external threats.

On the evening of the 27th, Jiang Chen arrived at Tianyi Media Company to pick up Bai Kao'er.

Unexpectedly, I saw Bai Kao'er walking out chatting and laughing with a woman.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised.

At that moment, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained a Level 1 Secret Realm.]

"A level one secret realm?"

"This is the sixteenth time I've checked in and obtained a level one secret realm."

"According to the system introduction, this level of secret realm is the smallest secret realm."

"A level one secret realm can only be entered by those under one hundred years old and whose cultivation is below the Martial God Realm."

"A level one secret realm spans a thousand miles and opens once every ten years, each opening lasting for one month."

"The time flow rate in a Level 1 Secret Realm is twice that of the outside world."

"This means that the Level 1 Secret Realm is open for one month, and there are two months inside the Level 1 Secret Realm."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Jia Yuanyuan, a character in "Hey, Child".

In the drama, she is Fang Le's wife and a radio host. At the beginning of their marriage, they decided to remain childless, but they were pressured by their elders to have children. Just when they adjusted their mindset and were ready to accept a child, they encountered workplace problems due to a false pregnancy.

"The plot of 'Hey Kid' begins in 16."

“Jia Yuanyuan…”

At the beginning of the story, Jia Yuanyuan unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant. After much agonizing, she decides to sacrifice her career for love and resigns to prepare for pregnancy, only to find out it's a false pregnancy (a false pregnancy), leaving her disappointed. Her resignation due to the false pregnancy leads to her being replaced and her salary being reduced. To get back to work, Jia Yuanyuan pressures her editor-in-chief, Shang Beijing, to find a solution, even using the Women's Rights Protection Law to pressure her superiors, and writing a "guarantee not to have children for the sake of her career" to coerce her boss.

Jia Yuanyuan's marriage with her husband Fang Le was in serious crisis due to issues such as childbirth and finances (mortgage), and they were once on the verge of divorce. They also experienced twists and turns such as separation and the intervention of both sets of parents.

After her father was diagnosed with cancer, Jia Yuanyuan planned to get pregnant to "bring good luck," but she discovered that her husband, Fang Le, had a physiological problem, causing further marital problems. Jia Yuanyuan later became pregnant again unexpectedly, but faced a series of new challenges, including parental opposition (because they disapproved of Fang Le), workplace complications, and escalating family conflicts. She even considered having Shang Beijing act as a nominal father for the child. Jia Yuanyuan experienced a miscarriage, causing her marital relationship to reach a low point.

However, in the finale, she not only fulfilled her wish to become a mother, but also reconciled with Fang Le and raised their child together.

"It's been over a year since the story began."

"I wonder how far the plot has progressed now."

This drama has 48 episodes, but the timeline in the drama may span several years.

However, Jia Yuanyuan and Li Yunrui were played by the same actor in their previous lives.

Unlike Li Yunrui's nobility.

This Jia Yuanyuan is just an ordinary white-collar worker.

Age... She's very well-preserved, even though she's from the First World.

"Kao'er".

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised to see Jia Yuanyuan, but he still went over to her immediately.

"Jiang Chen, you're here." Bai Kao'er wasn't surprised by Jiang Chen's arrival, because although Jiang Chen had been with Liang Shuang these past two days, how could Liang Shuang possibly be a match for Jiang Chen? Jiang Chen spent every night with them.

"Hmm, who is this?" Jiang Chen asked, feigning ignorance, as he looked at Jia Yuanyuan.

"This is Jia Yuanyuan, a new anchor under contract with my company," Bai Kao'er introduced. "Jia Yuanyuan, this is my boyfriend, Jiang Chen."

"Hello." Jiang Chen greeted Jia Yuanyuan with a smile.

"Hello." While Jiang Chen was sizing up Jia Yuanyuan, Jia Yuanyuan was also sizing up Jiang Chen.

After all, Bai Kao'er introduced Jiang Chen as her boyfriend, which also means that they might have contact in the future.

After chatting with Jia Yuanyuan for a while, Bai Kao'er parted ways with her.

"Let's go." Bai Kao'er took Jiang Chen's hand.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Jia Yuanyuan is someone I just signed..." Bai Kao'er introduced Jia Yuanyuan.

Unlike her introduction to Jia Yuanyuan earlier, Bai Kao'er gave a very detailed explanation this time.

With Jia Yuanyuan's explanation, Jiang Chen realized that the drama was halfway through.

“According to you, Jia Yuanyuan is going to have a baby, and with maternity leave and all that, you might…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

“I already have plans,” Bai Kao’er said.

"That's good." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Jiang Chen, is the Lunar New Year being celebrated earlier this year?" Bai Kao'er asked.

“Yes, the Spring Festival is earlier this year.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Although the New Year is celebrated in every world, Jiang Chen does not miss any New Year's time.

Moreover, since Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are in the First World, they still need to celebrate the New Year, even if it's just for their sake.

"Then let's give them a holiday early," Bai Kao'er said.

"Mm." Jiang Chen nodded.

I drove to a fresh food supermarket.

Jiang Chen and Bai Kao'er started buying groceries.

Since they have time today, Jiang Chen and the others plan to buy groceries and cook for themselves.

Although Jiang Chen and his group are now mainly eating meals made from spiritual plants, they still eat regular meals.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Bai Kao'er walked out of the fresh food supermarket.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Jiang Chen was surprised to see Jia Yuanyuan's eldest and youngest sisters-in-law.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received twelve Mortal Fire Seeds.]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten million-year-old Vermilion Fruits.]

"Twelve tinderboxes?"

This is my eighth time checking in.

According to the system introduction, ordinary fire is just common flame, usually found in the hands of ordinary cultivators. Its flame temperature and attack power are relatively low, but it can be used as learning material for basic fire-type skills. Its power and application range are both lower than that of exotic fire (exotic fire is also divided into grades, such as spirit grade, profound grade, holy grade, royal grade, emperor grade, etc.).

The ordinary fire seed that you are currently checking in with the system is the seed of ordinary fire.

Fire-attribute martial artists can cultivate more effectively after refining ordinary fire seeds.

"This mortal fire seed is a good thing... it can be given to the Jiang family's chef team."

"A fire source and a pot of unified energy, they are a perfect match."

"Ten Vermilion Fruits a million years old?"

"This is the fourteenth time I've checked in and received ten million-year-old Vermilion Fruits."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to advance to the Martial Emperor Realm as quickly as possible. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180."

"I wonder how much it will improve after the Vermilion Fruit is refined over a million years."

"By the way, besides refining it directly, it can also be used to make pills."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Fang Yun, a character in "Hey, Child".

In the drama, she plays the eldest daughter of the Fang family, originally a doctor who later becomes a bar owner. Devastated by the death of her child in a car accident, she endures hardship to have another child, ultimately leading to a divorce. She finds a new lease on life through Qin Shuanzhu's adoption and rescue of disabled children, a profound act of love that reconnects them.

Direction, a character in "Hey, Kid".

In the drama, she is the third daughter of the Fang family, a band manager, and a secretly married couple with Shang Beijing. The two enjoy their romantic life as a couple, believing that children are a constraint, a burden, and a hassle. They yearn for a free lifestyle but are forced to have children.

"Fang Yun?" "She should be divorced by now."

Fang Yun, the eldest daughter of the Fang family in the drama, was originally an obstetrician and gynecologist. Her son, Zhuangzhuang, died in a car accident five years ago. Unable to face her newborn after losing her son, she switched careers and ran a bar.

Meanwhile, the grief of losing her child plunged her marriage with her husband, Qin Shuanzhu, into a deep freeze, and the two lived a sexless marriage for a long time. To escape the shadow of grief and save her marriage, Fang Yun decided to have another child with Qin Shuanzhu. However, during a checkup, Fang Yun discovered that her ovarian function had failed, making natural conception impossible.

In an attempt to save her marriage, she tried to have a child through egg donation, but her husband objected. She even suggested that she would rather Qin Shuanzhu have an affair and have the child, which she would then raise herself. Qin Shuanzhu, deeply in love with Fang Yun and unwilling to let her become a "birthing machine" and bear the medical risks, lost control of his emotions during a heated argument, slapped Fang Yun, and insisted on divorce, leading to the divorce.

After her divorce, Fang Yun had a brief relationship with a street singer named Jiang Nan while running a bar.

After experiencing a low point, Fang Yun gradually overcame her inner turmoil, understood Qin Shuanzhu's pain, and began helping other bereaved parents. Later, she and Qin Shuanzhu jointly adopted a disabled child, remarried, and rebuilt their family.

"Xiang Fang is Fang Yun's younger sister."

"Her now..."

In the drama, Fang Xiang is the third daughter of the Fang family, the youngest child of Grandpa Fang, and a band manager. She secretly married Shang Beijing, an older radio editor, maintaining a marriage that is not made public. As a representative of the new era of women, she advocates a free lifestyle, believes that childbirth limits personal development, and insists on being childless.

After reaching an agreement with her husband to conceal their marriage, they maintained their independent space by living separately. Faced with pressure from her family to have children, she adopted a passive coping strategy and secretly froze her eggs as fertility insurance.

Later, she suffered hearing loss due to a second perforation of her eardrum, which led to emotional instability and abnormal behavior. During her treatment, she had conflicts with her husband, and Shang Beijing contracted acute pneumonia as a result, prompting her to reflect on her marital responsibilities.

Meanwhile, after discovering that her husband had left his assets to his daughter from his previous marriage, she initially planned a battle to protect her wealth. However, upon learning that her stepdaughter had leukemia, she changed her plans and decided to become pregnant to obtain umbilical cord blood for treatment.

"The character Xiang Fang in the drama has both a strong personality and a rational core. He is rebellious on the surface but kind at heart. He is secretly married, childless, and in a May-December romance. He occasionally does some out-of-the-world things."

"From DINKs (Double Income No Kids) who shirk their responsibilities to mothers who actively take on the responsibility of life."

Jiang Chen sized up Fang Yun and Fang Xiang.

Jiang Chen was not familiar with Fang Yun, the actress from his previous life.

However, the actress who played Fang Xiang and Guo Qingyi in the Third World was the same one in their previous lives.

The difference is that Guo Qingyi, as the Empress of the Song Dynasty, was also a pampered young lady raised from childhood, and her aura was incomparable to that of Fang Xiang.

As for being childless?

For ordinary people, the outcome of being childless is a joke.

In those movies and TV dramas, which of the female protagonists who choose not to have children end up having their own children?

The character in the drama is still going to have her own child, right?
However, Jiang Chen didn't look at it much at this moment, and got into the car chatting and laughing with Bai Kao'er.

After leaving the parking lot, I drove straight to OCT East Tianlu.

Although Bai Kao'er lived in a golf villa, Jiang Chen, having come to Shenzhen, naturally didn't want to go looking for her one by one.

Oh no.

Mary Zhang and Zou Yu do not live together because they haven't confronted each other yet.

When Chen Yanqing arrived at OCT East, she had already gone home.

The three of them then began cooking.

With the addition of spiritual ingredients, even ordinary ingredients can create dishes made with spiritual rice that are incredibly fragrant.

"Jiang Chen, your cooking skills are indeed better than the chef at home," Chen Yanqing said after eating a piece of monster meat.

"That's right, the family chef still needs more practice. Being a spirit chef isn't easy." The family chef is the Jiang family's culinary team. The current Jiang family culinary team has spirit chef inheritance, mortal fire, Qiankun Yiqi pot, and so on. It can be said that they are fully equipped. But having skills and equipment does not mean that one can have superb culinary skills.

“The family chefs are not enough; we must increase them,” Bai Kao’er said.

“I know, I will increase the number if there are suitable opportunities.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Now that the Jiang family has grown so large, the fifty-odd chefs in the Jiang family team are no longer enough.

Therefore, Jiang Chen plans to recruit chefs from among the maids of the Daming Palace.

The chef is a spirit chef, and his treatment in the Jiang family is better than that of the maids in the Daming Palace. Therefore, as long as someone has the talent of a spirit chef, probably very few people would refuse.

The next day, Jiang Chen walked out of the villa.

Just as I was about to go outside the community to buy breakfast, I saw Anxin not far away.

Jiang Chen walked over and asked, "An Xin?"

"Jiang Chen?"

An Xin saw Jiang Chen walking over: "When did you arrive?"

“You’ve been here for two days, An Xin. Are you going to buy breakfast?” Jiang Chen asked.

“No, I just wanted to take a walk.” An Xin shook her head.

"Shall we take a walk?"

A strange light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes: "An Xin, are you in trouble?"

"It's just a minor inconvenience," An Xin said.

"Would you like me to walk with you?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Okay.” An Xin glanced at Jiang Chen and nodded.

"I'll go buy breakfast first." The ordinary breakfast in the First World can't compare to the breakfast made with spiritual materials, but that's the taste that Jiang Chen likes.

An Xin nodded slightly.

Soon, Jiang Chen returned with breakfast.

"Here, have some." Jiang Chen took out some steamed buns and handed them to An Xin.

"Thank you." An Xin took the steamed bun.

Jiang Chen and An Xin chatted as they walked.

Because An Xin didn't want to cause any trouble, Jiang Chen didn't ask.

"An Xin".

Just then, a voice came from ahead.

"Ok?"

An Xin looked up.

Jiang Chen looked up.

He raised an eyebrow.

Because the person who came was none other than Lu Zening.

A character in "A Lady's Dignity".

In the drama, Lu Zening is An Xin's classmate; both graduated from Jinghai Business School. Lu Zening is An Xin's junior, having seen one of her speeches during their time at the school and secretly admiring and liking her ever since. Lu Zening is dispatched by the Zhongxing Group headquarters to serve as the deputy general manager of the business department, ostensibly to share An Xin's workload, but in reality, the company intends for him to replace her. After joining the company, he and An Xin develop a competitive relationship due to their work.

When Lu Zening first joined Zhongxing Group, An Xin mistook him for a new employee and assigned him work. Later, through Cao Da's introduction, she realized that Lu Zening was her competitor. In projects such as the Flower Fragrance Baby pitch, Lu Zening and An Xin were in competition, and their relationship was tense in the early stages.

Due to a conflict between his son Lu Xiaodi and An Xin's niece, Lu Zening contacted An Xin privately for the first time, and their relationship began to thaw. Later, Lu Zening invited An Xin to his son's kindergarten sports day, which was witnessed by An Xin's younger brother, An Yang, who then informed their father. Lu Zening interviewed and hired Mike, but was later forced to dismiss him at Cao Da's request.

Lu Zening and An Xin attended an alumni reunion together, further deepening their relationship. When their boss, Cao Da, was investigated for financial issues, Lu Zening was also taken in for questioning but was proven innocent. After leaving the police station, Lu Zening immediately confessed his feelings to An Xin, and the two began dating.

Lu Zening took An Xin home to meet his father, An Baoguo, and she passed his tests of drinking etiquette and character. When An Xin decided to help her ex-husband pay off his debts, Lu Zening expressed his respect for her choice. Ultimately, Lu Zening successfully proposed to An Xin at the beach, and the two began a happy family of three.

Jiang Chen never expected to run into Lu Zening here.

Looking at Lu Zening again, his gaze revealed an unreadable emotion when he looked at An Xin.

This means that Lu Zening's appearance here was premeditated.

"An Xin, I didn't expect to run into you here." Lu Zening approached An Xin, his tone tinged with excitement.

"Who are you?" An Xin frowned.

"My name is Lu Zening, and I'm your junior." Lu Zening introduced himself.

"Junior?" An Xin was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Is there something you need?"

"No, I just came over to say hello to you, senior." Lu Zening noticed Jiang Chen beside her and asked, "Senior, is this your husband?"

"Uh?"

Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard Lu Zening's words.

Lu Zening didn't know who An Xin's husband was.
If Lu Zening liked An Xin back in college, how could he not know about An Xin's husband?

If that's the case, what was Lu Zening's purpose in doing this on purpose?

“He is my friend,” An Xin said.

"Oh, who is this?" Lu Zening looked at Jiang Chen.

"My name is Jiang Chen," Jiang Chen said.

"Oh."

Lu Zening looked at An Xin and said, "Senior, this is my business card." As he spoke, Lu Zening took out a business card and handed it to An Xin.

"This is my business card." An Xin and Lu Zening exchanged business cards.

Lu Zening and An Xin chatted for a few minutes before Lu Zening left.

"An Xin, this Lu Zening is interesting." Jiang Chen said meaningfully, looking at Lu Zening's back.

"What do you mean?" An Xin asked.

“I think this Lu Zening…” Jiang Chen was about to say something when a voice came from the side: “I saw it after all, An Xin, let’s see what you have to say now…”
