Chapter 988 Slap
Su Ning understood very well why Tang Can and her mother did not agree immediately. After all, this matter involved many aspects, and once a choice was made, there was no turning back.

But based on Suning's understanding of the mother and daughter of the Tang family, Tang Can will soon give in to him, because sometimes hard work is always foolish in the face of capital.

So at this time, Suning is like an old man sitting on the fishing platform, quietly waiting for the fish he has set his eyes on to take the bait. Anyway, he has plenty of time to make himself more patient.

At this time, He Mei had become Suning's personal masseuse, giving the man in front of her a massage every day. "Haichao, I heard the film and television company is filming a new movie?"

"Yes! A super big project, it will definitely be a classic TV series." When he thought about the fact that he had won another god-level project, he couldn't help but be surprised by his own shamelessness.

"Haichao, Muzi Film and Television is so strong, why don't you enter the big screen project?" Then He Mei asked her own doubts, because she subconsciously believed that movies were more profitable and famous.

"The film industry is so complex, and I don't want to beg those theater chain bosses. Besides, I don't have such big ambitions in the film and television industry. I just want to make a few more classic TV series."

"Haichao, I heard that Mei Ting is the heroine this time. I want to invite her out for dinner."

"Forget it! They are busy filming in Qingdao. Let's talk about it after she finishes filming the drama."

Mei Ting is no longer the spokesperson for "Meixiang Beauty Salon", so He Mei rarely contacts her on weekdays.

"Also, I plan to go to Shenzhen in person and open a new branch there." He Mei then talked about another thing, which shows that she is really a woman with a strong career ambition.

"Shenzhen?" At this moment, Suning naturally looked up at the woman in surprise.

"Yes! Helan went there for a long time to investigate and felt that the beauty consumption market there is very prosperous."

"Since Helan has gained enough experience now, why not just let her be in charge of the Shenzhen branch?" Thinking of what happened to He Mei in Shenzhen in the original drama, Suning was still reluctant to let her go to Shenzhen to open a branch.

"Although Helan has gained experience now, I am still a little worried."

"Alright! But remember, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. If you can avoid conflicts there, it's best to be harmonious and make money."

"okay, I get it."

Thinking about what He Mei experienced in Shenzhen in the original drama, although He Mei has changed dramatically now, Suning still doesn't want He Mei to go there.

But Suning had no way to explain it clearly to this woman, so he simply stopped asking about He Mei's affairs. Some people will never turn back unless they hit a wall.

After sisters He Mei and He Lan left Xiamen for Shenzhen, Li Jianjian was puzzled. "Dad, where has Aunt He Mei been these days?"

Su Ning, who was eating at the table, saw He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao looking over. He knew that the three of them were worried about his relationship with He Mei, so he casually explained to them, "She went to Shenzhen! She and your Aunt Helan are going to Shenzhen to open a branch."

"Dad, but we have a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. What should we do if Aunt He Mei is not in Xiamen?" Li Jianjian immediately stared at Suning with her big, celestial blue eyes and asked.

"How about asking your uncle or aunt to go over?"

"Dad..." Li Jianjian immediately looked at Su Ning with a reproachful look, feeling that her father was not paying enough attention to her studies.

"Alright! Then it seems like I, as the father, have no choice but to take action. I hope I don't get scolded after I go."

"Humph! From childhood to adulthood, you always pushed every parent-teacher conference to Aunt He Mei. I don't even know if you're my real dad."

"No! I found you in the trash can. Go find your parents later!"

"Okay! Let's go to the hospital and do a paternity test. If the test says I'm not your daughter, I'll leave this house immediately."

"..." Suning was just teasing his daughter and naturally would not continue to pay attention to her sharp words.

When Li Jianjian saw that Su Ning no longer paid attention to her, she started to interfere in Su Ning's private affairs step by step, "Dad, you and Aunt He Mei have known each other for so long, why don't you agree to marry Aunt He Mei? And you also don't agree with He Ziqiu changing his name."

"Li Jianjian, am I giving you face? Do you think you can interfere in my private affairs?"

"Hmph! Scumbag."

"What did you say? I think you want to cut your living expenses in half next month?"

"..."

Seeing that Suning threatened her with next month's living expenses, Li Jianjian naturally chose to remain silent, but she had already determined in her heart that her father was a scumbag.

At this time, He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao were eating in silence, and chose to ignore the conflict between Suning and Li Jianjian. However, they were also very curious about the relationship between Suning and He Mei.

After all, they have personally witnessed the journey of Suning and He Mei, so naturally they hope that the two of them can be together.

……

The next day, Suning personally drove his Maybach to take his daughter to school. This was also the first time he attended Li Jianjian's parent-teacher meeting at school.

In the past, Suning would always push such things to He Mei, and He Mei would always accept Suning's assignment with a smile. She was also happy to play the role of Li Jianjian's mother in the outside world.

The reason why Suning does not like to attend the so-called parent-teacher meetings is because he feels that the form of such things far outweighs their actual effect. In other words, in Suning's eyes, these are completely meaningless.

Suning's Maybach is naturally very eye-catching in school. Although Li Jianjian often makes fun of Suning at home, she is now happily holding her father's arm and is very proud of the envious looks from others.

"Li Jianjian, why are you so late?" When Qi Mingyue saw Li Jianjian and Su Ning arriving late, she hurriedly ran over with a smile to greet Li Jianjian.

"It's okay! The parent-teacher meeting hasn't started yet." Li Jianjian smiled disapprovingly, then hugged Su Ning's arm tightly and introduced him to Qi Mingyue, saying, "Qi Mingyue, he's my dad."

"Hello, Uncle Li." Qi Mingyue nodded obediently to Su Ning.

"Hello! I often hear Jianjian talking about you at home. When you have time, go to your uncle's house for noodles." Looking at the second female lead in front of him, Su Ning's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that this time he was determined to be the "bad uncle" to the end.

"Thank you Uncle Li."

Soon Qi Mingyue's mother also noticed the situation here. When she saw Su Ning being hugged by Li Jianjian, her eyes lit up. She quickly got rid of the parents who were flattering her nearby and came here.

Qi Mingyue's mother fawningly shook hands with Su Ning, her expression as if she were meeting a business tycoon. "Hello, Mr. Li! I'm Qi Mingyue's mother."

"Hello, Mingyue's mother."

"Mr. Li, our Qi Mingyue has a very good relationship with your Li Jianjian. She often mentioned Li Jianjian when she came home."

"I've heard that too. After all, the world of children is pure and innocent." "Mr. Li is right! One day when we have time, our two families can sit down together for a meal and let the children deepen their relationship and communication."

"Alright! Here's my business card. Just contact me when the time is right."

Soon the head teacher walked into the classroom, and then Qi Mingyue's mother ended her conversation with Su Ning with a reluctant look on her face. Her attitude was completely different from the arrogant one in the original drama.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Mingyue's mother gave an impassioned speech just like in the original drama, but it made all the parents in the classroom laugh and cry.

Of course, with Li Jianjian’s grades, it was impossible for Suning to give a speech on stage, and he was even criticized by the class teacher as a “bad parent”.

Soon the head teacher drove all the students out of the classroom, and finally began to talk about the real purpose of this parent-teacher meeting.

"I wonder who is Li Jianjian's parent?"

"I'm Li Jianjian's father, my name is Li Haichao."

"Then please stay here alone later. I need to discuss something with you about Li Jianjian."

"it is good."

Soon when the parent-teacher meeting was over, Suning and several other parents were left alone. When Qi Mingyue's mother left the classroom, she waved her cell phone at Suning with a smile.

Then Suning listened obediently to Li Jianjian's head teacher's nagging. It was nothing more than that Li Jianjian had entered high school and the teacher reminded Suning to urge Li Jianjian to seize the time and study hard.

"Teacher Wang, I've discovered that Li Jianjian is quite talented in sculpture, and I plan to suggest that she pursue artistic pursuits in the future."

"Li Jianjian's father, even if Li Jianjian applies for an art major, she still needs a certain cultural foundation, so she still needs to focus on her studies."

"No problem! This time when I go back I will urge Li Jianjian to study hard."

"Li Jianjian's father, if you want your child to keep up with his studies, parents must assist our school. It's impossible for us teachers alone to achieve the desired results."

"Teacher Wang is right! I will definitely pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

This is why Suning doesn't like attending parent-teacher meetings at school. As soon as he gets here, he feels like a student being scolded by his child's teacher. This makes Suning, who is used to calling the shots outside, very uncomfortable.

……

Tang Can and her family did not appear at this parent-teacher meeting because Tang Can was filming "Parents' Love" in Qingdao at the time.

Although she did not have many scenes and it was a small and dispensable role, the crew who were striving for perfection still asked her to join the crew earlier.

"Teacher Mei, I really like your work. I hope you can take good care of me in the future on the crew."

"Okay! I love discussing acting with newcomers. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly."

"Thank you, Teacher Mei! I never thought a teacher like you would be so approachable."

"Tang Can, are you an actor at Muzi Film and Television now?"

"No! I haven't signed a contract with the film and television company yet, and I haven't negotiated terms with Muzi Film and Television."

"Tang Can, Muzi Film and Television is very strong. Mr. Li personally invited me to start this company with him, but I declined because I was overthinking it. If I hadn't, I would be a veteran shareholder of Muzi Film and Television now."

"Teacher Mei, have you known Mr. Li from Muzi Film and Television for a long time?"

"It's been almost ten years. We met when I was filming 'Don't Talk to Strangers' in Xiamen."

"Oh? I see!"

"Tang Can, as an old hand in the film and television industry, I advise you to seize this opportunity. You should know that it's better to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. Even if the contract period is a little longer, it won't matter."

"..."

At this moment, Tang Can felt a little bit amused and helpless. After all, she heard that Mei Ting misunderstood that she was dissatisfied with the long service period. Little did she know that Suning's requirements for her were actually the "canary" in the cage.

Of course, Tang Can couldn't understand too many things at such a young age, but after seeing her parents' extreme reactions, she also realized that such things should never be easily compromised.

Judging from the current situation, it is fortunate that Suning and Muzi Film and Television are unwilling to suppress her, otherwise Tang Can would face the end of her career.

Afterwards, Tang Can stayed obediently in the crew of "Parents' Love", paying attention to and learning the acting skills of the great actors every day.

Unfortunately, acting skills cannot be easily honed, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many great actors with “staring eyes and crooked mouths”. Therefore, Tang Can, who lacks talent, always seems to struggle in such a god-level crew.

"Cancan, how was your time on the set?"

"Huh? Not bad!"

"Cancan, the result of your last audition for the female lead role in a Shanghai film crew has been confirmed."

"Mom, the results are out? Was I selected?"

"No! The director said you're still too young and your acting skills are still a little lacking."

"That's impossible! Those competing with me are all newcomers. Their acting skills and looks can't compare to mine!"

"I actually found it a little unbelievable, but when I asked around I found out the result was already decided, and the newcomer chosen was the daughter of the show's investor."

"What? If it's already been decided, then why hold an audition? Aren't you just making a fool of me?"

"Cancan, I'm sorry! Mom and Dad are incompetent and can't help you with your career."

"..."

At this moment, Tang Can was undoubtedly slapped hard by reality. He realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare to the unspoken rules. The last bit of self-esteem and strength in his heart was torn to pieces.
