"Mom, giving birth is not just to compare with others. We congratulate her if she is not pregnant, but what does this have to do with whether I am pregnant or not?"
Yang Tao doesn't hate Lan Weiwei's mother, but when she hears her mother talking about Lan Weiwei's mother, she gets a headache, because these two old people are really too noisy.
"Why doesn't it matter? You and Weiwei grew up together and got married around the same time. Weiwei had an accident and got pregnant. You're not even pregnant at all. Mom, can you not be anxious?"
Despite Zhou Chen's explanation, Xue Sumei still couldn't let go. In the past, her daughter's marriage was what she was most anxious about.
Now that her daughter Yang Tao is married, having children has become her top priority again.
Although she is now helping Su Qing take care of the child, Su Qing is still just a niece, different from her own daughter, and incomparable to her own grandson.
Star Tao had a headache from being talked about, so she could only say: "Embrace, embrace, embrace, mom, we will be pregnant soon."
Xue Sumei: "What kind of attitude do you have? Is it for me that I ask you to have a baby? It's for yourself. In a few years, you won't be able to have a baby even if you want to."
"No, Mom, I have already said that I want to have a baby, can you stop talking about it?" Yang Tao looked helpless, but there was nothing she could do about her mother.
Su Qing has been getting along with her aunt and Yang Tao for more than ten years and has long been familiar with them. Whenever they have a dispute, she can act as a peacemaker.
"Auntie, I think Zhou Chen and Tao Zi are right. Prenatal and postnatal care is more important. Just ignore Aunt Lan."
Xue Sumei: "Do you think I want to pay attention to her? She came here all the time and couldn't even hide. Tell me about her. Her daughter is pregnant. What's there to be proud of? Who did she do?
It’s like she’s never been pregnant.”
Zhou Chen's mouth twitched. How could he not know what kind of character this mother-in-law was? She was really the same as Lan Weiwei's mother.
"Not only the pregnancy, but also that Lan Caiping, who always uses his son-in-law to show off in front of me. Who is he? Really, don't you think you have embarrassed yourself enough before?"
Su Qing held Xue Sumei in her hands and said: "Auntie, you are right. Although Weiwei's husband works in a bank, he is still far inferior to Zhou Chen. Anyway, I don't believe they can be like Zhou Chen and Taozi.
Just as deeply emotional.”
Xue Sumei also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xiao Zhou is much better than that Li Kui. He can make so much money at a young age, and his future is bright."
Then he said to Zhou Chen: "Xiao Zhou, mom thinks highly of you, but you can't be compared to that Li Kui, do you understand?"
Zhou Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sure enough, the older people get, the more they look like children. Xue Sumei was only less than sixty, so her temper was almost that of a child.
"Mom, don't worry. Taozi will definitely be happy if you follow me. Just watch it."
More than two months have passed, and two of the stocks he bought have begun to rise sharply. The other stocks have fluctuated and fluctuated, but the range is not large. Zhou Chen did not sell them and continued to keep them.
The stocks in his hands now, if sold according to the market price, would be worth at least 50 million.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry to cash out his stocks, because he feels that there is still room for growth, and he cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. The money he has now is still far from achieving financial freedom.
I had nothing to do that day, so Zhou Chen went to the bridal shop and sat there for a while. It happened that Jiao Yang was free from the crew today and was also playing in the bridal shop.
Zhou Chen and Jiao Yang were chatting together. Jiao Yang mainly told Zhou Chen about the crew he was on recently, saying that he had met several big stars and so on.
Regarding this, Zhou Chen just smiled. He really didn't care about big stars or anything like that. He was not a star-chasing fan. What's more, he knew too many big stars in a pretty good world. Those people were no different from ordinary people.
There is no difference.
While the two were chatting, Jiao Yang suddenly said: "By the way, Zhou Chen, are you not interested in movies?"
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "Why do you ask? I still watch good movies."
Jiao Yang: "I'm not asking if you like watching it, but I want to ask if you are interested in investing in movies?"
"Invest in movies?"
Zhou Chen was even more surprised: "Is it possible that you are still planning to make a movie?"
Jiao Yang waved his hands repeatedly: "Are you kidding me? Shooting shopping ads is my limit. I asked you if you are interested in investing in movies because the friend who introduced me to the crew, his teacher is filming.
In a big-budget movie, one of the investors suddenly had an accident and withdrew his investment."
"So you want me to invest in this movie?"
"I'm just asking if you are interested. My friend's teacher is a well-known director in China. He has directed many movies with a box office of over 100 million. The box office is absolutely guaranteed, and the investment will definitely not be lost."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Chen doesn't believe in movies that are guaranteed to make money without losing money. Even well-known directors can direct box-office poison.
For a good movie, the director is very important, but the quality of the script, team capabilities, actors, etc. are all important factors.
"Which director, that movie, let me see it."
Jiao Yang immediately told everything he knew. He also really hoped that Zhou Chen could invest, because if Zhou Chen invested, he might be able to get into the crew. For him, this was considered a success in the film and television industry.
a good start.
Zhou Chen did not immediately agree to invest. The film industry is indeed a place to make money, but if you want to make money, you must have enough power and vision.
Two days later, Zhou Chen collected enough information and discovered that Jiao Yang was right. This was indeed a good movie with a large investment. It had been a project for two years. The reason why it had not been filmed was because the director was striving for perfection.
, the shooting was very serious.
Logically speaking, there should be many people who want to invest in such a movie.
But in fact, because the film cycle is too long, and the director has many demands and delays, many investors are impatient. If they had not withdrawn their capital, they would have lost a lot of money. I am afraid that many investors would like to
It's time to divest.
Zhou Chen thought about it for a day and felt that even if the movie wouldn't be a big hit, the box office should be high, so he finally decided to invest 10 million.
It is now 2014, and although the domestic movie box office is rising linearly, it has not yet reached the point where it can easily reach two to three billion. If it reaches one billion, it will be a huge explosion.
So investing 10 million is definitely not too small.
With the people Jiao Yang was looking for and the most needed investment, Zhou Chen's investment went very smoothly. The most important thing is that he has been guaranteed that the movie will be shot within half a year and will be released for the Lunar New Year next year.
It will definitely be released.
The business of the bridal shop is getting better and better, and Yang Tao has also taken advantage of her own strengths and started designing wedding dresses. However, in the past few months, she has only sold four wedding dresses.
There is no way, people nowadays trust big brands more. Although the wedding dress designed by Yang Tao is good, after all, it is just an unknown designer, so generally discerning people will not choose a wedding dress designed by Yang Tao.
Star Tao was not discouraged, but started studying more seriously.
Her biggest characteristic is that she is self-aware and knows that she is not a professional, so she does not set high goals. As long as someone can like the wedding dress she designs, she will be happy.
Some time later, Zhou Chen was lying on the bed sleeping when he suddenly heard a scream.
"Ah, ah, hubby, hubby."
I saw Star Tao in pajamas rushing out of the bathroom in the bedroom with excitement on his face.
Zhou Chen looked at the excited Yang Tao with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong? Is the constipation gone?"
Star Tao, whose face was full of excitement, suddenly lost his expression and cursed: "Can you please stop being so fun?"
"Haha, what's wrong? Are you so happy?"
"Husband, look at this."
Yang Tao placed a pregnancy test stick in front of Zhou Chen.
As soon as Zhou Chen saw this, he immediately understood what was going on.
"pregnant?"
Star Tao nodded happily and said, "Well, my aunt hasn't been here for half a month, so I thought about buying it to try. I just got up and took a test, and sure enough I'm pregnant."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "This is a good thing, and it's worth being happy about. I'll tell your mother soon. She will definitely be very happy when she finds out."
Xue Sumei has been talking about having children and raising grandchildren every day for half a year. Now that she has finally arrived, she may be very happy.
"Well, I'll tell her later."
Although she was impatient with her mother who kept urging her to have a baby, after becoming pregnant, Yang Tao still wanted to share the joy with her mother as soon as possible.
After learning that her daughter was finally pregnant, Xue Sumei was indeed crazy with joy. However, what left Zhou Chen speechless was that after the mother-in-law learned that her daughter was pregnant, the first thing she did was to start calling, and the person she called was Lan Lan.
Weiwei’s mother, Lan Caiping.
Listening to the mother-in-law talking to her old best friend on the phone, talking about scientific parenting, prenatal and postnatal care, planning, etc., Zhou Chen really laughed in his heart.
In order to celebrate her daughter's pregnancy, Xue Sumei specially bought a table of dishes today and asked Zhou Chen and Yang Tao to go over for dinner in the evening.
"Taozi, let me tell you, you should be careful when you are pregnant. You should eat regularly, don't skip breakfast, don't eat randomly, don't work too hard at work, and..."
Xue Sumei didn't even eat and started to tell Yang Tao what to pay attention to when pregnant.
Su Qing also interrupted from time to time. She had just been pregnant and gave birth not long ago, so she knew more about the important points to pay attention to when giving birth now.
