Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

Just like Brother Sicong who was called the national husband a few years ago, if he were really put on Baihe.com for blind dating, he would definitely not be as popular as his father.

Guan Peng's identity as a second-generation rich man made it easy for him to get his first pot of gold, and his skills of financial proficiency and golden eyes enabled him to achieve several small goals with ease.

"My friend recommended a private restaurant that is said to be quite good. I'll take you there to try it."

Enjoying a quality life is not something that can be achieved overnight. Fortunately, I have memories of the past, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to spend my money even if I had it.

"Okay, you decide."

As they spent more time together, Xia Lin has become accustomed to accepting Guan Peng's arrangements.

.........

In a courtyard house with a strong ancient charm less than 500 meters away from the Forbidden City wall, Guan Peng held Xia Lin's hand and walked into a private room under the guidance of a waiter.

"If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known this was a restaurant."

After sitting down, Charlene, who had recovered from her initial surprise, spoke.

"To be honest, I only found out about this place last week."

When talking about food in Yanjing, one cannot avoid mentioning Tan’s cuisine.

Tan's cuisine was created by the family of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1874, Tan Zongjun, a native of Nanhai County, Guangdong, won the first and second place in the imperial examination (second place), and entered the Imperial Academy in Beijing as an official. He lived in Xisi Yangrou Hutong, and later served as an inspector in Sichuan, and later as a deputy examiner in Jiangnan. Tan Zongjun loved delicacies all his life, and was also hospitable to friends. He often held Xiyuan elegant gatherings at home, and personally supervised the preparation of the dishes. The only "dish" created by a Hanlin in Chinese history was born from this. He and his son ate carefully and hired a famous chef in Beijing with a large sum of money. He learned his cooking skills and combined Cantonese cuisine with Beijing cuisine to create his own style.

The private restaurant that Guan Peng brought Xia Lin to was run by the third generation successor of Tan’s cuisine.

"Agar-agar in clear soup", "Braised shark's fin", "Lohan prawns", "Chaiba duck"

Because there were only two of them, Guan Peng ordered four dishes in order to avoid extravagance, but each of them was the chef's signature dish.

"How is it? Is it to your taste?"

Guan Peng asked after picking up a large shrimp for Xia Lin.

"It's pretty good, better than the Michelin restaurant you took me to last time."

Without pretending to be reserved, Charlene spoke the truth.

“As long as you like it”

Guan Peng doesn’t know what he likes about Xia Lin. She’s pretty, that’s all. It’s more about her temperament. Hu Yifei’s classmate, the famous model Hu Binbin, is right when he says that temperament is very important.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you eating too?"

After all, he is not a machine. Naturally, there will be feelings for each other after being together for a long time. Seeing Guan Peng staring at her in a daze, Xia Lin said shyly for a rare time.

"You should smile more often. You look really pretty when you smile."

Please forgive a man who has been single for 39 years and has suddenly reached the peak of his life. Although more than half a year has passed, he has not recovered yet.

"You don't have to be so nice to me. According to the agreement, you are my boyfriend for the next few years in college, and I will fulfill my obligations."

Well, her pretentiousness strikes again; but since she is a woman, Guan Peng doesn’t intend to argue with her.

"Auntie, are you doing well after being discharged from the hospital? I heard that you need to take a lot of anti-rejection drugs after a kidney transplant, and these drugs may cause the body's immune function to decline."

Since Xia Lin brought up the agreement, Guan Peng also showed some concern for his cheap mother-in-law.

"Fortunately, you give me so much living expenses every month, so I found her a senior caregiver who takes good care of her."

Whatever the reason, their relationship had an ignominious beginning, and Charlene was a little too embarrassed to talk about it.

"That's good. If the money is not enough, just tell me directly. There is nothing to be embarrassed about between us."

I could have endured darkness if I had not seen light; I could have endured poverty if I had not become rich;

Guan Peng just wants Xia Lin to get used to a life without having to worry about money.

She also knew that it was her proposal that ruined the mood, so during the rest of the meal, Charlene smiled and talked about the interesting things that happened to her recently, until the uninvited guest arrived...

Chapter 3 Encounter

"Mr. Guan, I'm sorry for coming here uninvited."

When Guan Peng and Xia Lin were chatting sweetly, a middle-aged man walked in with a tall beauty, smiling, holding a bottle of red wine in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand.

"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence?" The visitor was Wang Jun from Brothers Media and Entertainment Company. Guan Peng was still sitting and did not stand up to greet him.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

The two met at a private auction three months ago; the world is bustling with people all for the sake of profit; after watching Guan Peng gamble on stones several times, Wang Jun said: I am determined to be your friend.

The young boy Mu Ai attended several banquets with Wang Jun, and Guan Peng also said, "Isn't it enough for me to recognize you as my friend?"

"Oh, Mr. Guan has a date with a beautiful lady. I really disturbed you this time."

Wang Jun saw Xia Lin only after he entered the room. He was suddenly in a dilemma. He was planning to use his old tricks again, strike while the iron is hot, and then get on the ship of wealth.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang. This is my girlfriend, Xia Lin."

Knowing why Wang Jun was so attentive recently, Guan Peng didn't care and introduced Xia Lin in a graceful manner.

"Ms. Xia is so beautiful. She and Mr. Guan are a perfect match."

Even though I didn't know Wang Jun, I still recognized the beautiful woman Xia Lin following him. She was the popular female star Li Bing. In the past, I only knew that Guan Peng was rich, but I didn't expect that he also had a good social circle.

"Mr. Wang is too polite. Compared with Miss Li, a big star, I am not pretty at all."

After all, she was the one who dared to snatch her best friend's boyfriend. Charlene was born with courage and did not have the fear that an ordinary little girl would have when seeing a big star.

"I'm not a big star. With Miss Xia's looks, if she were to enter the entertainment industry, I wouldn't have a chance to succeed."

Knowing that the person in front of him was a talented young man whom Wang Jun wanted to curry favor with, Li Bing did not dare to be arrogant in front of his woman and was very polite.

The situation was a little awkward at first, but they are all in the entertainment industry after all, so the men talked about cars and girls (of course they can't talk about that now), and the women talked about cosmetics and new models of bags, and within a few minutes both hosts and guests were having a great time.

"Boss Guan, do you have any plans for the Yunnan jade auction in two months? Can you take me with you?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Wang Jun stated his purpose.

"Brother Wang, gambling on stones is too risky. I'm just playing by myself, so I don't dare to bring anyone with me. If you want to make some pocket money, I also opened an investment bank. I can't say anything else, but I can still make 8% profit every cycle."

For fear of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives, Guan Peng dared not bring anyone with him when gambling on stones.

"Investment bank, which investment bank?"

No one's money comes from the wind. Wang Jun had seen Guan Peng's style in the gambling stone field many times, but he hesitated to hand it over to an investment bank.

"Boundless Investment Company"

"You opened the Wujiang"

Wang Jun knew that this young man in front of him was good at making money, but he was still surprised when he heard about Wujiang Investment Bank.

"Brother Wang, have you heard of it?"

Knowing that people in the entertainment industry are well-informed and he did not deliberately hide anything, Guan Peng was not too surprised when he heard from Wang Jun.

"I heard from a friend of mine that although Wujiang Investment Bank was established not long ago, the profit of each investment is as high as more than 10%. Brother, are you really willing to take me with you?"

Wang Jun was not talking nonsense. He had indeed heard about Wujiang Investment Bank from a friend, and he also knew that this investment bank did not accept money from just anyone.

"The next round of recruitment will start at the end of the month and will last for a month. I can't guarantee more, but I can still handle a share of around 50 million."

It takes three to make a fence, and it takes three to make a hero. If you eat alone, you will be hated by others. Ling Feng may not have understood this truth before he traveled through time, but Guan Peng now knows it very well.

Although Guan Peng's parents are abroad, he has a reliable uncle. He doesn't bully others in the circle, and no one dares to bully him. He also has a group of friends around him who he can talk to.

After knowing that he was doing well, they encouraged him to set up an investment company. The name of Wujiang Investment Bank was taken from the meaning of a great country with no boundaries.

After the company was established, Guan Peng recruited funds from friends in the circle; there were not many responses in the first two times, but by the third time, you had to rely on connections to get in.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guan. Come, I'll toast you a glass."

The share of 50 million, based on the 8% promised by Guan Peng, would mean a profit of 4 million.

In 05, he made four million in just one month. This was much faster than making money from making movies, and Wang Jun was immediately attracted.

"Brother Wang, I have to drive in a while, let's do it next time."

Guan Peng shook the glass of freshly squeezed juice to indicate that he didn't want to drink.

"It's okay, I did it, you can do whatever you want."

After all, Wang Jun was asking for help, so he certainly wouldn't care. Now that he had achieved his goal, he sat for a while and then said goodbye to Li Bing.

"I'm sorry to be disturbed when I accompany you out for dinner." Guan Peng said after Wang Jun and Li Bing left.

"It's okay. Thanks to you, I got to see my idol up close. I'm so happy."

Naturally, Charlene wouldn't be unhappy about such a small matter.

"Idol, Li Bing?"

Judging from what happened just now, Guan Peng didn’t think that Xia Lin regarded Li Bing as her idol.

"Do you think what Sister Bingbing just said makes sense?"

"What did she say?"

It’s not that Guan Peng was pretending to be stupid, he really didn’t know what Xia Lin was talking about.

"nothing"

I don’t know what Charlene was thinking, she stopped talking.

After eating and drinking, when Guan Peng went to pay the bill, he was told that Wang Jun had already paid and left a bottle of red wine for him.

…………

Gongyuan No. 6

Guan Peng bought this house three months ago, and he and Xia Lin have been here several times recently when they were alone together.

"What do you think about me joining the entertainment industry?"

"Entertainment industry? You believe what Li Bing said?"

At this point, Guan Peng finally understood what Xia Lin meant by "Does Sister Bing make sense?"

"I know I'm not as pretty as Li Bing, but won't you help me?"

This is a very eloquent statement. If Guan Peng had just traveled through time, he might have fallen into the trap.

"How can Li Bing compare to you? But the entertainment industry is not that easy to get into. You only see their superficial glory, but who knows the hardships they endure behind the scenes?"

It was not the time when capital was pouring in. Although she knew that the entertainment industry could make money, she did not exaggerate. Guan Peng also told the tragic story of a little star from the Korean country in later generations, and finally dissuaded Xia Lin from the idea.

"So the entertainment industry is so dark, then why are so many people rushing in?" Xia Lin asked puzzled.

"For fame, for profit? You have better choices, don't envy them, let's just take a rest."

Bedsides woven from horsetail, Venetian crystal lamps mixed with gold powder during blowing; walls decorated with hand-applied gold foil, silver foil, silk, brocade, mahogany, etc.; whole Swarovski natural crystal faucet switches, century-old elm burl decorative columns, cowhide walls, whole pony hide hand-sewn coffee tables, and washable silk wall cloths;

There was a wine glass on the bedside, filled with unfinished high-end red wine.

Yes, she has better choices; Charlene doesn't want to lie to herself, she enjoys her current life.

Chapter 4 Trouble

It was impossible to fight until dawn. Guan Peng was not the kind of person who would not care about his life. The two of them went to bed around 11 o'clock last night.

With a stable biological clock, Guan Peng wakes up at dawn. He has the habit of doing morning exercises, a very serious kind - running.

"Why do you get up so early? Did I wake you up?"

When Guan Peng came back from running, he found that Xia Lin had also gotten up and had prepared breakfast.

"No, I don't like to sleep in either. I just made breakfast, I wonder if it suits your taste."

Heart-shaped poached eggs, grilled hot dogs, and fresh milk. Although simple, it's obvious that Charlene put a lot of thought into it.

“I like everything you do”

Although this was a bit flattering, among all the women Guan Peng had, Xia Lin was the first one to make breakfast for him, and he was indeed a little touched.

"I'm glad you like it. I have to go back to school in a while. I have classes in the afternoon."

In her sophomore year, although the Fashion Design Institute was not a prestigious school, it was very strict in checking absenteeism, so Charlene did not dare to be unruly.

"Okay, I'll take you home. By the way, you've got your driver's license, right? I'll give you a car for your birthday, so it'll be more convenient for you to travel."

With Guan Peng's current wealth, buying a car is about the same as buying breakfast for an ordinary person. He will not let his woman down.
