Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

After speaking, she blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Niu Chengrui's reaction.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"You are my first man, so of course I want to take a good look at you and etch you into my heart."

"If you said that in a different place or in a different way, I would definitely be moved!"

"I hope you'll fall for me. I know myself perfectly well. How could someone like you rich kids possibly be interested in someone like us?"

"This is your fixed perception, right? I don't want to say that I'm different from them, but in my heart, no matter what profession it is, it deserves respect."

If you can accept being a decorative vase at home, I can keep you as a pet.

Liu A-Ling hesitated for a moment before refusing: "Thank you, but I've suffered so much, I still want to try."

"Sure, if you have a dream, go for it. I can put in a good word for you with Grandpa Shao and hopefully you can finish your art class early."

That's all I can do to help you, since I don't have my own business yet.

"This is already an unexpected bonus!" Ah Ling said, propping herself up with her hands and gently kissing Niu Chengrui's left cheek...

They're both terrible at games and love to play – that perfectly describes them right now...

Niu Dazhuang's genes were strong; although his sons weren't as exceptionally gifted as him, they were still far beyond the average person...

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Lin Yongmei and Lou Xiao'e still called the two brothers back to the villa on the mountaintop.

There's a reason these two brothers don't want to come back: among their stepmothers in Hong Kong, only Lou Xiao'e and Lin Yongmei are significantly older than them.

Like Zhao Baishe and Shuanglin, who are both a few years older than these two brothers and are both incredibly beautiful. With Niu Dazhuang not around, how are these two brothers supposed to get along with these stepmothers?

"Chengzhi, Chengrui, you've installed international calling service. Call your parents later to wish them a Happy New Year and let them know you're safe and sound!"

The phone call started off peacefully, with a loving mother and son, but the tone suddenly changed as soon as Qin Yueru answered: "Niu Chengzhi, you little bastard, if you don't come back after the New Year and when flights resume, I'll have your dad drag you back. You'll be in for it then."

Niu Chengzhi quickly moved the receiver away from his ear, listening to his mother nagging him for more than ten minutes on the other end of the phone.

"You little bastard, have you arrived yet?"

"Okay, I heard you. I'll buy a plane ticket home as soon as it breaks the 5th, alright?"

"If you dare to fool me again this year, humph!"

At this moment, Niu Dazhuang answered the phone: "Chengzhi, you haven't been home for three years. That's a bit too much."

Qin Yueru's rants were no match for Niu Dazhuang's single sentence.

"Dad, I'm not lying to Mom. I'll go back home after the New Year once the flights resume."

The first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, thanks to Niu Dazhuang, brought together actors from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

The entertainment value was absolutely top-notch...

Grandma Ching was the liaison in the middle, and she was the one who felt it the most. It wasn't anything else that was so profound, but she never expected that there would be someone in her circle who had such a great influence on Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

In the past year or two, quite a few aspiring stars have gone to Hong Kong to develop their careers. Even established stars like Qing Nai are tempted, but they are reluctant to give up the achievements they have worked so hard to make in mainland China. Going to Hong Kong would mean starting from scratch, and what if they don't become famous?

Now that Grandma Qing knows about Niu Dazhuang's influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, her mind is starting to wander.

Despite being TVB's top actress and actor, Wong Chuen and Cheng Chin-chau are still treated like royalty in the gala group.

Even top-tier celebrities are no match for Niu Dazhuang. If only I could keep those thick legs... hehe...

Grandma Qing got more and more excited the more she thought about it...

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they came to pay their respects with gifts.

Qin Xueru greeted her with a smile, knowing full well that this person wanted to see her husband.

"You've come at the right time. In a few days, Seven Pounds' father will be going to Hong Kong Island. He'll be gone for six or six months."

"Actually..." Naiqing wanted to explain a few more words, but Qin Xueru pulled her into the house.

"I understand without you saying anything. You've starred in several movies without losing money. It doesn't matter who you work with."

When Niu Dazhuang was away, Shaw Brothers and the Niu family jointly produced many films in mainland China, all of which were decided by Qin Xueru, the boss's wife.

Niu Dazhuang hadn't expected that Qin Xueru would be so interested in the film co-production business...

When the visitor arrived at the main room, Meiru was in the bedroom helping Niu Dazhuang tidy up his frequently worn clothes.

Ms. Guan is also joining in the fun. Since Niu Dazhuang has returned to Hong Kong Island, Ms. Guan will definitely go back with him.

"Master, we have guests."

Niu Dazhuang then released Meiru, who was packing her luggage. He even put his finger to his nose and smelled it.

"Get out of here. I can't do any work with you inside."

"That's right, your hands are never idle." With that, Guan Meinu pushed Niu Dazhuang from behind and sent him flying.

Niu Dazhuang saw Qing Nai arrive through the bedroom window. He could roughly guess what she wanted to do.

"Brother-in-law, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Hello to you too," Niu Dazhuang said, deliberately rambling on and on about other things.

What are the filming assignments for today?

"I heard that CCTV is adapting the Four Great Classical Novels into a film. Why didn't you get a role in it?"

"For the TV series, Director Wang was casting for newcomers from all over the country, and none of us were qualified. For the movie version of Dream of the Red Chamber, Director Xie and I have met, and if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to participate."

"The movie version of Dream of the Red Chamber?" Niu Dazhuang hadn't actually seen the movie version of Dream of the Red Chamber. Actually, there's a hierarchy of disdain in the entertainment industry; those who make movies look down on those who make TV dramas.

"Yes, from the Beijing Film Studio!"

"Have all the actors been confirmed?" Niu Dazhuang asked, intrigued.

"We've pretty much decided on the female leads, but I'm not too sure about the others." Seeing his interest, Nai Qing continued, "Do you remember Tao Zhimin? And Fu Yi and the other two played Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai..."

Niu Dazhuang thought to himself, "Damn! This place is full of beautiful women. I have to find a chance to play a few rounds."

Niu Dazhuang suddenly had a bad idea.

"You're doing so well in China, why do you still want to go to Hong Kong? Although you can earn more money making a successful commercial film there than on the mainland, it's not an easy place to make a living."

"I learned some things about this through chatting with them, so I'm just trying to improve myself and learn more from them."

"Can your company release him?"

"I can take a long leave." Grandma Qing's plan is quite clever.

"Okay, I'll think about it. Let's have lunch at home!" Now that the important matters were settled, Niu Dazhuang didn't want to discuss anything further in front of Qin Xueru.

Although Qin Xueru is magnanimous, you can't talk about those kinds of things in front of people.

Grandma Qing is such a smart person. Since she said she was considering it, there must be a chance. But if there's a chance and she didn't agree directly, it means she didn't discuss the conditions she wanted...

Is it...
