Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 147: When will we have a baby? I have already thought of a name.

Although Cheng Hao attended an art school and had briefly entered the entertainment and film and television industry.

But Cheng's mother's understanding of the entertainment industry is very limited.

On the one hand, she was busy taking care of her sick husband and had no time to care about anything else.

On the other hand, the older generation’s familiarity with the entertainment industry mainly came from television, and TV actors and some well-known singers were the real “mainstream”.

After all, movies are a "luxury" consumption, and the revelations and hype of entertainment tabloids have nothing to do with real life.

Regarding her daughter, Cheng's mother's understanding is probably like this:
After graduation, he joined the People's Art Theatre.

It doesn’t matter what the People’s Art Theatre is, what matters is the establishment! It’s a government iron rice bowl!

This is the obsession of every Qilu person.

At that time, the old couple were very happy. Whenever they talked about their daughter to others, they would always stand up straight and be very proud.

However, the good times did not last long, as the onset of illness cast the family into a shadow.

In order to raise money for her husband's illness, the daughter quit her job to film a TV series.

From the initial 50 to the subsequent treatment costs of over one million, from domestic treatment to transfer to a foreign hospital.

Cheng's mother didn't understand a single word of the many titles behind the foreign attending physician's name, but she felt extremely distressed for her daughter's hard work and dedication.

As her husband's condition improved, he gradually recovered.

When I learned that Cheng Hao gave up his acting career and chose to work in a company.

Mother Cheng felt much more relieved.

Good job!
It is protected from wind, rain and sun.

Although it is not a public job, it cannot guarantee a stable income regardless of drought or flood.

But at least it's decent and easy, isn't it?
And life is much more stable!
Considering that her husband had just recovered from a serious illness and was not suitable for long-distance travel, Cheng's mother went to the capital alone to visit her daughter and urge her to get married.

Now that everything is going well, it's time to urge my daughter to think more about her personal problems and find a reliable shoulder for the rest of her life!
"What's with that expression on your face? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"I'm telling you, it's never wrong to listen to your mother more!"

Seeing Cheng Hao's stiff expression and his indifference, Cheng's mother decided to be patient and continue nagging.

"When it comes to choosing a man, a crazy guy won't do, and a clumsy guy won't do."

"It's even worse if your eyes are restless and you keep looking around!"

"Let's take the example of that boy just now. He saw me when I pointed at him. But he acted very openly. It was me who looked suspicious, which made me look too thick."

As Cheng Hao parked the car, Cheng's mother looked back to the previous position again.

For a moment,
"Hey, why is this guy coming towards us?"

"Is it just a coincidence?"

"Could it be that I pointed at him just now and caused a misunderstanding?"

"Okay, Mom, just guess less!" Cheng Hao's cheeks were red, and her heart was filled with sweetness and nervousness.

It was as if it was himself, not Zhen Jiecheng, who was meeting the other party's parents.

"Mom, why are you still standing there? Get out of the car!"

"Oh!"

Cheng's mother quickly unbuckled her seat belt, but before she could reach out, the car door was opened.

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who "had never even touched a girl's hand" stood before him, bent down, and said in a "gentle and polite" manner:

"Auntie, I'm Cheng Hao's boyfriend."

"I should have visited you a long time ago, but due to work commitments and my uncle's frequent trips abroad for treatment, I always missed the schedule."

As Zhen Jiecheng spoke, he took the bag that Cheng's mother had placed next to him.

"Come on, Auntie, go slower."

"Ah?" Cheng's mother was stunned. "Oh!"

He glanced at Cheng Hao, then at Zhen Jiecheng.

After being caught off guard, curiosity and desire to explore surged.

"What's your name, young man?"

"how old are you?"

"Where is your hometown?"

“We have them at home.”

"Mom~" Cheng Hao stomped his feet and interrupted Cheng's mother's question.

He walked quickly forward and tried to pull his mother's arm away from Zhen Jiecheng.

"Are you checking the household registration?"

Turning to look at Zhen Jiecheng,
"Why are you here?"

"Look at what you said. My aunt is here, so how can I not come?" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile, "This is not only a matter of courtesy, but also a matter of attitude!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right!" Mother Cheng nodded quickly.

At this moment, I just felt that the girl standing in the middle was particularly annoying.

So he drew out his arm,

"Don't pull me, and don't stand in the middle!"

"Let me talk to this young man, what's your name?"

"Auntie, my name is Zhen Jiecheng." Zhen Jiecheng adjusted his rimless glasses, looking even more refined and unsophisticated. "Just call me Jiecheng!"

"Okay, Jie, why are you still pushing me?" Cheng's mother glared at Cheng Hao, "Can you please just stay aside?"

Cheng Hao: (╯︵╰)
"Auntie, I'm still in graduate school, but I'm going to graduate soon."

"Yes, it's good to study for a master's degree!" Cheng's mother nodded, "You will have a degree and culture."

"I have already started preparing to substitute teach in school, and will take up a teaching job after graduation."

"Teaching position? University teaching position?" Cheng's mother's eyes lit up.

"um, yes."

A visiting professor is also a professor, and an honorary teaching position is also a teaching position!

There was nothing wrong with what Zhen Jiecheng expressed. As for how Cheng's mother understood it, that had nothing to do with Zhen Jiecheng.

"It's good to be a teacher! Jiecheng, you look like a role model for a teacher, and you will definitely do a good job in educating students."

The fact that Cheng Hao gave up her regular job has always been a pain in the hearts of the old couple, but their daughter’s boyfriend has a regular job, so isn’t that a good way to fill the gap?
"Cheng Hao is in charge of the company. Cheng Hao is very good and I don't need to worry about anything."

"Company?" Cheng's mother was stunned. "Is the company where Cheng Hao works now yours?"

"Auntie, what you said is not right." Zhen Jiecheng shook his head, "Cheng Hao went there to be the head of the family, not to work as a laborer."

"Wait, what about her father's medical expenses?"

"It's also earned by Cheng Hao herself. In addition to being the general manager of the company, Cheng Hao is also my producer." Zhen Jiecheng was particularly sincere. "In fact, Cheng Hao is at a disadvantage. After all, if she continued to be an actress, she could have earned more just by advertising endorsements and commercial performances with her popularity as a 'heartthrob' in 'Sex and the City'."

"Besides, she will take on new roles and continue to earn pay, right?"

"But even if I can earn more money, I won't have access to relevant connections to introduce high-quality medical resources, right?" Cheng Hao did not allow Zhen Jiecheng to keep a low profile.

No matter what the occasion or who you are facing.

Our man is so outstanding, he should shine brightly!

"Mom, those foreign doctors were found by Jie Cheng."

"I don't have the ability to contact your daughter!"

"Also, Jie Cheng is the director. The 03 film "Life Events" and last year's "Nobody" were both directed by Jie Cheng."

"Although you haven't seen it, I can introduce it to you."

As he spoke, Cheng Hao's tone gradually rose, with a proud look on his face.
"Jie Cheng's first film earned 7631.487 yuan at the box office, becoming the box office champion of domestic films in 03!"

"Jie Cheng's second film grossed 1.106 million yuan, making him the second director in our country to enter the million yuan club!"

"Mom, do you know who the first one is? It's Director Zhang Yimou!"

"Jie Cheng just participated in the election for the chief director of the Olympic Games some time ago, although he was not able to compete with Director Zhang Yimou due to his age and qualifications."

"But I can tell you right now that Jiecheng will be involved in the opening ceremony of the 08 Beijing Olympics. That is our country's centenary Olympics!"

"Wait a minute, you're not right!" Zhen Jiecheng thought that his skin was well-trained, but now he felt hot for no reason. "It's not just because of age and qualifications, it's mainly because of insufficient accumulation, experience, and ability."

"I don't care!" Cheng Hao pouted and held his head high, "Anyway, you're awesome!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Cheng Hao is right!" Cheng's mother nodded quickly, "You are still young, but you are already the second-ranked director in our country!"

“That’s simply.”

Mother Cheng searched for an adjective in her mind for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable and appropriate one.

He finally managed to utter a few words until his cheeks turned red:

"Zhang Yi is the same! He is so old, but he doesn't even know how to give way to the young people."

"As a senior, you should support the younger generation. How can you just occupy the position and not move?"

Zhen Jiecheng: (;′⌒`)
"Ahem, Auntie, Director Zhang is my senior brother and he takes good care of me."

"Isn't that what he should do?" Cheng's mother asked back, "Since he is your senior brother, he should take better care of you!"

As he said this, he took Zhen Jiecheng's arm.

Soft-spoken and affable.

Especially that caring and kind look that seemed to be able to melt people's hearts. Zhen Jiecheng had never seen it even from his own mother.

What does it mean for the mother-in-law to meet the son-in-law?

Now, this is it!
"Auntie, I don't have a very good reputation in the media. I have a lot of scandals!"

"It's all my fault. When my first movie was released, I had to smear myself and hype myself up in order to raise my profile. But the result was that I couldn't stop it."

"Auntie understands! It's all for publicity. Good wine needs no bush!" Mother Cheng turned to look at Cheng Hao, "Jiecheng is under a lot of pressure at work. You need to take care of him and don't let him lose his temper."

"Mom, I didn't!" Cheng Hao rolled his eyes. "I followed him throughout the filming of his first movie and took care of him the whole time."

"Auntie, I'll be honest with you. I went to college when I was 17 and continued until my junior year. During those three years, I was extremely promiscuous, dating one guy after another, just like going through the motions."

Zhen Jiecheng lowered his head, not to mention looking directly at Cheng's mother, he didn't even dare to look at her face.
His frightened look of confession was particularly pitiful.

"Aren't all young people like this? They are undecided! Didn't your uncle often talk to beautiful female workers in the printing factory? He was not as good as you!" Cheng's mother didn't care and used her husband as a stepping stone for Zhen Jiecheng.

"Besides, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold."

"The prodigal who returns knows how to cherish more and is better able to stick to the bottom line."

"Auntie, you are so kind. You understand me better than my parents."

Cheng's mother even used Cheng's father to cheer him up, so how could Zhen Jiecheng be stingy? He had to double it.

"At the beginning, the Hong Kong media hyped up that I had affairs with a group of aunts in their forties, and my parents even called me to scold me."

"They didn't think about it. I was in Hong Kong for work and only stayed there for a few days. How many days can I spare?"

"Besides, some of them are older than my mom. How is that possible?"

"Hey, maybe your parents are thinking the wrong thing, or maybe they just want to give you a shot of prevention, but they just expressed it in the wrong way."

Cheng's mother comforted Cheng Hao and told him,
"Jiecheng is working away from home, you have to be more considerate and don't believe everything you hear."

"Jie Cheng is so outstanding, all the women out there want to get close to him and then spread the word."

"If you believe it, you've fallen into their trap. They're just waiting for you to make a scene, and then they'll have the chance to take advantage of you."

They talked and chatted from before dinner to after dinner, and until Zhen Jiecheng left, without stopping.

It seems like there is endless chat and endless topics to discuss.

When one person thinks highly of another person, the other person can easily gain trust no matter what he or she says.

Even take the initiative to help find reasons to explain.

Cheng Hao's tolerance comes from this, and so does Cheng's mother's generosity.

So when Zhen Jiecheng walked out of the hotel, he was greeted by a sky full of brilliant dark clouds, warm temperatures, and vibrant sandstorms.

In the hotel room, Cheng's mother was smiling as she was conveying the good news in detail to Cheng's father over the phone.

"You can tell at a glance that this child is an honest one. He even confessed his love affairs when he was a teenager."

"Educated and capable! Second best in the country in filmmaking!"

"I have opened a company outside, I also have to work at a university, and I have to help at the Olympics in the future!"

"Our daughter made a fortune. She caught the opportunity when this kid's career was just starting! Otherwise, how could she have gotten such a good thing?"

"Although I am three years younger than my daughter, a girl three years older will bring her a lot of wealth."

"Mom, tell Dad not to talk nonsense when he goes out." Cheng Hao couldn't help but remind her, "Jiecheng will be in charge of the work related to the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Anything related to the opening ceremony of the Olympics is strictly confidential!"

"Oh, yes! The Olympics is a national event, it must be kept strictly confidential!" Cheng's mother hurriedly told Cheng's father, "Watch your mouth, we..."

I was startled, raised my head,
"Why are you still here?"

"Me?" Cheng Hao was dumbfounded. "If I'm not here, where am I?"

"Nonsense, of course." Mother Cheng paused, said a few words to Father Cheng, then hung up the phone, and then looked at Cheng Hao again, "Of course you should go back to your own nest!"

"Don't tell me you don't live with Jie Cheng normally!"

"I"

"By the way, I have something to ask you!" Mother Cheng looked serious.

Seeing this, Cheng Hao immediately became nervous.

Urging marriage? Definitely!

How to respond?

Jiecheng has no intention of getting married for the time being, although he has already made a promise.

Forget it, I'll take the blame.

The worst that can happen is that I get scolded!
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao immediately looked for a suitable excuse in his mind.

Unexpectedly,
"When do you plan to have children?"

"Ah?" Cheng Hao's eyes widened, "You want a child?"

"Yes!" Cheng's mother nodded. "The country implements family planning, and Jiecheng is so famous and has a staff position. I don't know how many eyes are watching him."

"So you should give birth early, have more children, and give birth to a big fat boy."

"It's not that mom favors boys over girls, otherwise you wouldn't be an only child. But our situation is different after all. Jiecheng's business is so big, there must be a boy to inherit it in the future."

Patting Cheng Hao on the shoulder, he spoke earnestly.
"After you give birth to a big fat boy, you can get the marriage certificate and then have another one. More children, more blessings."

"As long as we insist that the first one was born, it was your own decision. No one can do anything to us if we hide the birth from Jiecheng before marriage."

"It does not violate national regulations, nor does it affect Jiecheng's future."

"Well, to be on the safe side, I will tell your father not to disclose any information about Jie Cheng to the outside world."

"When the child is born, we will spend some money and find some connections to register the child in our home."

As she spoke, the smile on Cheng's mother's face became brighter.

"Mom has already thought of a name. It's Jiecheng's last name plus your first name, so it'll be Zhen Hao!"

"Zhen Hao Zhen Hao, ha ha ha, that's great!"

Cheng Hao did not leave the hotel in the end.

It’s not because she has a big enough face, but because sanitary napkins are very convincing.

In the next three days, Zhen Jiecheng specially accompanied the mother and daughter to visit all the scenic spots in Beijing.

It was not until the Beijing Film Academy sent the class schedule and called Zhen Jiecheng to substitute for him that he returned to the Beijing Film Academy at the urging of Cheng's mother.

"Teacher, why so soon? Didn't you say you would substitute for the class next month?"

Before Zhen Jiecheng even walked into the office, complaints were already heard.

"A junior student just handed in an assignment, so it's a good opportunity for you to go over and give him some pointers." Director Tian didn't even raise his head. "What's going on? Do you have any objections?"

"Opinions? How dare I give them!"

Zhen Jiecheng picked up the cigarette on the table, took out one and lit it.

"I'm almost in my third year of graduate school, and will soon be released. I don't want to offend my boss and have him block my diploma."

"Then I studied for three years in vain?"

"Alas, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."

"Oh, look at what you said, there's something else behind it!" Director Tian raised his head, "Why, is studying for a master's degree in directing making you feel depressed?"

"Or did I make you feel wronged?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head like a rattle. "The Directing Department is the cradle of my growth. You care and love me. How could I feel wronged? I can't thank you enough."

"Then why are you asking around about my school days?" Director Tian slammed the table.
No, I was photographing the book on the table.
"Dig up old history? Find out my mistakes?"

"You want to rebel?"

"No, no! Teacher, please don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant! I just want to admire your glorious history and try to draw nourishment from it, so as to fill the spiritual emptiness and inspire the motivation to strive for success."

Zhen Jiecheng couldn't smoke any more, so he stood up and was about to run away.
"Teacher, you are busy. It's almost time. I should go substitute for the class!"

"and many more!"

Director Tian stood up and saw Zhen Jiecheng shiver subconsciously, then he smoothed out his wrinkles with satisfaction.

"I'll go too, together!"

Zhen Jiecheng's "substitute teaching" was temporary and was not made public in advance.

But when the students came to the classroom and saw a row of teachers and even leaders sitting in the back, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

First they reasoned individually, then discussed in a low voice.

It was not until Zhen Jiecheng and Director Tian appeared in the corridor that the news spread like wildfire and flew to every corner of Beijing Film Academy.

Suddenly, QQ notification sounds kept coming!
Figures gathered one after another towards the classroom. Seeing that the room was full and the heads outside the window were still surging, Director Tian had to temporarily change the classroom to a more spacious one.

But even so, it still can't all be stuffed in.

"Old Tian, ​​how about going to the lecture hall?"

"It's just a substitute class. It's not appropriate to go to the lecture hall!" Director Tian rejected the suggestion and then directly ordered the students to close the door.

"You are usually so listless in class that even the roll call can't stop you from skipping classes!"

"Why are you so active today?"

“Is the Film Photography Course so attractive?”

"Go do what you need to do. If you keep gathering together to join in the fun, I will make you all do your homework and take the exam. The exam results will be included in the final grade!"

In the end, it was Director Tian who knew how to speak. He just shouted a few times out the window, and the crowded crowd quickly retreated like a tide.

Soon, the bell rang, Zhen Jiecheng stood on the podium and turned on the projector.

"I will be the one to teach the class today and review the assignments you have submitted."

"Considering that this is my first time as a teacher and I have no experience, I would like to ask for your opinions."

As he spoke, Zhen Jiecheng raised his head, smiling.

"Which do you think is better, literary criticism or martial arts criticism?"

"I'll listen to you!"

In the audience, Liu Yifei, who was attending the class for free, shuddered subconsciously.

"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" asked Yang Mi, who happened to meet and sit next to her.

"No! Nothing!"

Liu Yifei replied quietly while taking out her cell phone from her pocket. After thinking for a while, she took out her mp3 from her schoolbag.

"Xixi, what are you doing with your cell phone and mp3?"

"recording!"

"Recording?" Yang Mi was stunned.

"Yes, record it!" Liu Yifei nodded, "Then take it home and listen to it. You can use it when you are filming on the set in the future."

"Mi Mi, I suggest you record it as well, or I can make a copy for you later."

"It's very useful! Senior Xiao Ming also listens to it often!"
