Chapter 2 Seeking Marriage from the Family
Faced with this sudden water meter, Qi Lele took a deep breath in front of the door before opening the door. Outside the door was an old man, about fifty years old, his temples were almost gray, but his spirit was still strong. And a bit of shrewdness was hidden in the expression of low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
He saw that he owed Qi Lele respectfully, and said, "Miss, dinner is ready." Do you want to dine downstairs?"
Only then did Qi Lele notice that the room he was in was on the second floor of the house, and the house that was so atmospherically decorated was actually a villa.
She didn't know what to call the person in front of her, so she just showed a slightly arrogant look, glanced at the man and said, "Got it." Anything else?"
The man bowed again: "There is no eldest lady, but the young master will come back for dinner." ”
Qi Lele bowed slightly to indicate that she already knew, and added before closing the door: "I'll come down in a while." ”
The man went downstairs in response, and Qi Lele leaned his back against the door and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this person is the housekeeper of the family. Zhu Ziqi didn't have this person in his memory, and he was probably new.
"It's strange, it turns out that Uncle Li did a good job, why did he come with a new person?
Originally, when Uncle Li was there, she never had anything unpleasant. Uncle Li manages the family in an orderly manner, is loyal, and never relies on the old to sell the old, so Zhu Ziqi's father respects him very much.
And then there is Uncle Li's son Li Chaoli is now working in the Ruixing Culture Media to which she belongs, doing things steadily and reliably, but he looks a little like his father. It stands to reason that as long as the old man Zhu is alive, there will always be a bite of food from the Li family's father and son. And now it seems that there must be a reason for it.
When Zhu Ziqi finished cleaning up and went downstairs, Zhu Yizhe was already waiting for her in the living room. Zhu Yizhe is the founder of Zhu's Group, and he is also the seed that Mr. Zhu unintentionally left behind in the game flowers in his early years. Mrs. Zhu injured her body when she gave birth to Zhu Ziqi and has not been able to have children ever since, and Mr. Zhu has gradually kept to himself in his later years, so Mrs. Zhu treats Zhu Yizhe as her own, but the mother and son are not very close to each other.
At that time, he broke with his family for his first love, and resolutely started his own business, working all the way from an ordinary employee to a manager, and later pried away several obstructors installed by his father before he sat firmly on the throne of the president of Zhu's Group.
With such an achievement at a young age, the old people around his father naturally did not dare to look down on him, and they chose to watch the fire from the other side, and the two sides were uneventful.
The success of the Zhu Group has become a reliever for family conflicts. However, Zhu Yizhe and his first love still missed it in the end, but in exchange for the ice between father and son, they shook hands and made peace, which can hardly be said to be a complete regret.
Now Zhu Yizhe is sitting opposite Zhu Ziqi, cutting the beef on the plate gently. 's elegant manners and excellent appearance, coupled with the personality of the domineering president, how to think about it makes people excited, but at this time, Zhu Ziqi is like water.
Because she knows that Zhu Yizhe is a calm and old-fashioned person, he doesn't smile when he works, and he always has a cold face when he comes home, and you may have provoked him inadvertently.
It is very tiring to get along with such a person, because you have to adjust your words and actions all the time to move in a direction that satisfies him.
Obviously, neither Qi Lele nor Zhu Ziqi are people who like to abuse themselves, and it is not worth challenging the ethics of brothers and sisters for him, so such a handsome guy is destined to only harm other people's fields.
Thinking like this, Zhu Yizhe opened his mouth and asked, "How are the Qi family's affairs considered?" Qi Lele quickly reacted, Zhu Ziqi's memory of the marriage between the two Zhu Qi families is a strong stroke: the Qi family was prevaricated back by Zhu Ziqi several times, and he felt that his face was dull.
The Qi family is in the leather business, and their ancestors have some connection with the road, and they can be regarded as good in W City. Who knew that this youngest son Qi Dongliang was really a rotten wood, and he spent all day drinking, and it was a trouble to let his two brothers clean up the aftermath for him.
But who knew that within two days, I don't know which gust of wind had hanged, Qi Dongliang actually wanted to change his ways, saying that he wanted to enter the film and television industry and invest in movies. The Qi family is total, making movies to make money, plus his temperament, it is best to have a daughter-in-law to take care of him, if there is a mixed film and television circle, a mature and stable woman to stop him, it would be better.
No, I came to the door. Who knew that after rubbing his nose with ashes, the Qi family's face was not good-looking.
Old Man Zhu was unwilling, he was a good daughter, with such a bastard boy, no matter how he looked at it, it was a flower inserted in cow dung. But the Qi family was willing to bleed, and gave a piece of land that had just been approved as a dowry, and patted her chest to ensure that Miss Zhu would never suffer a loss when she came to the Qi family. In the future, as long as Old Man Zhu speaks, the Qi family will definitely do their best to help.
After eating such a personal favor, Old Man Zhu was a little moved, and it happened that the little cub of the Qi family came to the door, and the old man saw it, good guy, he was still a handsome guy. When even if you generously say that it is normal for young people to be impulsive, look at my old Zhu, look at my stinky tempered son, who was not mixed up when he was young? I think this young man is very good.
So Old Man Zhu made the decision and took Zhu Ziqi back to the old mansion for a few days, so that she could figure it out. Who knew that Zhu Ziqi didn't eat this set, she swayed around the house unkempt every day, and lived a very free life with nothing to do.
Who knew that when Qi Dongliang heard about this, he was even more determined to chase her. The bar is gone, the song hall is gone, and the racing car is gone, just like a young man, who comes to visit every day, and he is simply an outsider.
"Wow, I didn't expect Zhu Ziqi's suitor to be so enthusiastic!" 998 looked moved with tears in his eyes.
"Are you stupid, a little cub whose hair hasn't grown yet, you want me to be a nurse for him?" Qi Lele was almost annoyed. She only likes the mature and steady uncle type, okay? This kind of stalker sissy type is not her cup of tea at all.
"But don't you think it's strange? The Qi family spent such a big price just to find an all-round wife for the young master Qi?" 998 was puzzled, like Qi Dongliang, if he didn't ask him to turn pressure into motivation and start from scratch like Zhu Yizhe, it should be useful for external forces to intervene, right? The Qi family didn't try to educate him? His two elder brothers didn't look like good stubble.
"Oh, the Qi family is not stupid, their own baby is afraid, how can they educate themselves? And I'm different, I'm an outsider, and a woman, I'm a bully, and I'm a good man, and someone has to bear the guilt. ”
"Moreover, the first two brothers probably want to find a woman to watch him, and the specific purpose is uncertain, in short, the Qi family has been a businessman for several generations and will not do loss-making business. ”
"Oh," 998 suddenly realized.
"They want to take advantage of me, and I don't want to let them get what they want. Qi Lele had a plan in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a fine light.
"Master, I think your smile is particularly terrible. "998 Secluded Road.
“…… Really?"
“…… It's really scary, it's just a weak little system.
The next day, Zhu Ziqi agreed to meet Qi Dongliang, the Qi family was both a surprise and an accident, and Qi Dongliang dressed up in the morning, holding a large bouquet of flowers, and carried large bags of things into the door.
Zhu Ziqi hinted that the housekeeper didn't have to step forward, and he smiled and watched him panting out of breath, stunned. When Qi Dongliang sat down and planned to talk to Zhu Ziqi, Zhu Ziqi preemptively put forward conditions.
"What, a year of part-time work?" Qi Dongliang's mouth was big enough to stuff an egg. He didn't care about any image now, he just wished that what he had just heard was an illusion.
"That's it, I think you have good appearance conditions, and it is more than enough to enter the entertainment industry. You work for me for a year, find your own resources, and if you are satisfied with me after a year, I will consider marrying you. ”
Maybe the last sentence was too solemn, and Qi Dongliang forgot his words all of a sudden. After holding back for a long time, I finally couldn't help asking: "Why? Isn't investing in movies a sure way to make money? Why do you want to enter the entertainment industry and endure hardships?"
Zhu Ziqi didn't catch his breath, and was so angry that he wanted to directly knock Qi Dongliang's dog head: "Who said that investing in movies is a sure profit? If so, everyone invests in movies, and it will be your turn?"
Seeing Qi Dongliang's surprised appearance, Zhu Ziqi felt a lot happier in her heart.
"What's more, you are in the prime of life, and you should not be disappointed in your good years. Zhu Ziqi leaned into his ear and said with a smile: "Look at my brother, an honest man, how much ability do you think he has? It's just luck that he's catching up with the market trend." What's more, he has at least taken the first step, and the next road down will be smooth sailing. In terms of talent and appearance, do you think you will lose to him? If you become young and fight hard, then the future, you can think for yourself. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Ziqi had already left his ear, looking at him calmly and reservedly, as if he was sure that he would not refuse.
Qi Dongliang was a little nervous because of her approach, and hurriedly silently recited the beauties he had seen to cheer himself up.
He couldn't tell why, Zhu Ziqi was not the best among the beauties he had seen and dated, but the temperament and momentum around him crushed his heart to death, no matter how bohemian he usually was, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her.
"What? What does Qi Gongzi think?" Zhu Ziqi was not in a hurry, picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly.
"Then, why don't you just teach me how to invest? I don't know how to act, and I will definitely make jokes when the time comes!" Qi Dongliang resisted stubbornly, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"Haha, Qi Gongzi is just joking, I'm just an agent, my usual job is to lead artists, and I don't know the tricks of investment, so I'm also powerless. Zhu Ziqi put down the teacup and sighed.
"But Qi Gongzi, you think, if you want to invest in a movie and don't know anything about the entertainment industry, how can you do it? In other words, when an artist experiences life, by the way, touches the water and explores the market, when investing in the future, he doesn't say that he has a bamboo in his chest, but he won't be led by the nose. I can't guarantee that every movie you cast will make money, but there is an old saying you should have heard: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. The wisdom of the ancients must not be wrong, don't you say?"
Qi Dongliang's lips moved, but he didn't speak.
Zhu Ziqi knew that he had been moved, so he was almost on fire. She stood up slowly, walked behind him, and gently held his shoulder, but her eyes looked straight ahead, and she didn't look at the person who trembled slightly under her hands: "I know that no matter how much you say, it's useless, you are an assertive person." She paused slightly.
"If you become an artist under me, you can't be impressed by getting along with me day and night," Zhu Ziqi sighed softly, and her tone was slightly lonely, "Then, don't you want to fight for a breath in front of your two elder brothers? Make some achievements and convince everyone, who will dare to question you? When the time comes, who in the Qi family has the right to restrict your freedom, and who is qualified to criticize you?"
"Have you ever sailed a boat?" Zhu Ziqi looked into Qi Dongliang's eyes, "Have you tasted that taste? ”
Qi Dongliang turned his head suddenly, and a pair of pitch-black pupils stared at Zhu Ziqi firmly.
