Chapter 6: Between Mother and Child
"Baby, why did you arrive at this point, everything is still going well on the road?" Yun Jingyi didn't sit and wait, she stood by the door after receiving the notice from the apartment housekeeper, although she was also waiting for her son to celebrate the festival together, but for her, the opportunity to meet only two or three times a year was precious, and she couldn't be as calm as an ordinary mother.

"Fortunately, the journey was quite smooth, but after entering the city, you always have to be careful to avoid those crazy women, and you are afraid. Liang Baoguang showed a helpless expression, he only drove from Boston to New York in a little more than three hours, and after leaving at half past ten in the morning, it took him four and a half hours to drive here, not because of the traffic jam on Route 91, but because the women in the New York City are too fond of playing routines, "I feel that the Upper East Side can be renamed Stroller Hell in the future, which just echoes Hell's Kitchen." ā
In New York, especially in Manhattan's Upper XC and Upper East Side, outsiders will find it interesting that many women love to push their strollers around, but their strollers often only contain food they have just bought from the bakery instead of their own babies.
In the eyes of these crazy women who call themselves New Yorkers, the stroller is as good as a gold medal for avoiding death, and passers-by have no way of knowing whether they really have a cute baby or a Prada handbag in their car, and they can't afford to gamble. This made the women with the strollers realize the power of Moses to separate the Red Sea, and they began to go even further, such as pushing the larger, more space-consuming side-by-side strollers for the twins.
Liang Baoguang is among those who can't afford to gamble, after entering Manhattan today, he has repeatedly looked at the "stroller road rage" slowly crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing in front of him, and endured the "Lao Tzu tens of thousands of dollars a second, I don't have time to accompany you to enjoy the street scene" The taxi drivers said Rap-like urging, and his head was bigger.
"Have you ever had lunch? If you're hungry, I'll call the restaurant and ask for a lunch, but there shouldn't be a few stores open for Christmas today, so let's eat a little first." Like all mothers in the world, Yun Jingyi didn't have much to respond to her son's cold jokes, she was more concerned about whether the child ate on time, studied hard, went to bed early and got up early, and went out with her friend Happy with a small raincoat......
"I've already eaten Subway, I bought it on the side of the road, so don't be busy with this or that. Liang Baoguang shrugged his shoulders first and then shook his head, his legs were numb all the way while driving, and now he just wanted to find a place to lie down and where to eat. Because almost all of the films in the film industry on Christmas Day are fast food chains, and the taste of Subway is relatively good compared to a certain M, a certain K, and a certain B, but most of the things it sells are cold, and it is never a pleasant experience to eat in winter, and his stomach is still a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, don't keep eating those unhealthy junk food, look at yourself, I don't like the lazy meat now, no wonder they are all single dogs now. Yun Jingyi pouted, in fact, she knew that her son's taste was very tricky, and he wouldn't eat fast food when he had a choice, but if she didn't seize the opportunity to nag, how could she show that she was a mother?
"I'm just a student, of course I have something to eat, not like you rich people who are so willful, I bought such a small apartment for four million dollars, not as big as my low-rent house in Quincy, at least I have a yard over there that can be played, and you have to go to the rooftop if you want to be lazy. "It's a good location, it's very chic, and Liang knows that Upper East Side prices are still as stable as Doge after multiple shocks, but he just doesn't like the atmosphere.
Yun Jingyi lived on the top floor of the Park Condominium at No. 607 at the intersection of Park Avenue and 65th Street, and she spent nearly $4 million to buy the 156-square-meter penthouse, which was a full ownership purchase, and had to pay high management fees every year. It is said that the housing prices in the Upper East Side are expensive, referring to only some high-end real estate, and this so-called penthouse is actually on the twelfth floor, and the official family sent by the property company is also a little unworthy of the name.
"It's next to Central Park, and if you want to play there, there's a place for you to play, and when you work in New York later, this apartment can be given to you directly. Yun Jingyi likes it here, just because she relies on the green space, she usually rests in the company, and rarely has the opportunity to come back to this apartment, but the company has a subsidy for housing, and it is not spent in vain, "Or you are really not satisfied, you can buy it again if you earn your own money." ā
"I don't want to go to Central Park to suffer, I've heard it's infested with rats. Liang Baoguang happened to read relevant reports before he came, the recent rat plague in New York City is very serious, he moves freely in the subway, and even dares to compete with people for food in the park. It's also a mammalian rodent.,If you see a cute little squirrel in the park to steal your cookies.,You'll think the picture is very loving.,But when you meet a group of Springda teachers (if you don't know, please do your own Baidu) rush towards you.,The picture is ......
"Then you came to New York after graduating by default?" Yun Jingyi asked happily, it is impossible for her son to accompany her husband in South Korea for five years to say that she has no grievances, but if she works and lives in a city in the future, the old accounts can naturally be written off.
"I didn't say that, it's so tiring to work in a career related to economics. After studying at Harvard, the more he studied, the more he felt that he was not suitable for this profession, "In fact, now that I think about it, it is quite good to be a director, but it is also a choice for photographers if I can't do it." ā
"If you have a virtue with your father, you know how to fiddle with that thing, no matter how fun the camera is, can a woman be fun? "Yun Jingyi, as an enlightened mother in New York, can accept her son's nonsense, but she can't accept her son's non-involvement.
"Isn't this talking about work?" Liang Baoguang was a little embarrassed.
In all fairness, Yun Jingyi doesn't think it's a good choice to work in the economy, after all, she knows the hard work of this industry, sometimes tens of thousands of pages of reports have to be read at one time, and when you reconcile with banks or other institutions, you are tired and tired, "If you really want to be a director, your mother will support you, if you don't have money to shoot secretly, I will be an investor for you, but I have a little money left in my hands over the years." ā
"Forget it, I won't pit anyone on my own mother's head. Liang Baoguang is also a man, let him take his mother's money to toss, even if he succeeds, he will lack a sense of achievement, and Yun Jingyi is a strong woman who speaks well, with a salary that many people envy, in fact, she is just a high-level working girl, an income of eight million US dollars a year is not even anything in New York, and it is not enough to make up 100 million US dollars for ten years without eating, drinking or shopping, and when making movies, it is a cost of one or two hundred million yuan, and the gap is very large.
"Speaking of movies, how did you say about the movie you made recently, can you watch it?" Yun Jingyi didn't expect her son, who studied economics and psychology, to make excellent works, but she still had to ask, and she wouldn't forget to help, "If you have difficulties in distribution, tell your mother, and your mother also knows a few people." ā
"No, I've already decided to send this movie to SXSW for a chance to wait for the situation to be clear. Liang Baoguang's heart is very big, or he has not tasted the bitterness of reality, in fact, the Sundance Film Festival is just a few days away, but he is not prepared, and second, he really can't remember any good works from Sundance, so he directly set his sights on the younger and more diverse SXSW.
SXSW is the abbreviation of SouthbySouthwest, the name is inspired by Hitchcock's famous movie "North by Northwest" festival is difficult to be a specific definition, too mixed but not show chaos, the word was founded in 1987 after 20 years of development, has been the world's first creative festival name. Liang Baoguang can't guarantee that "This Man is from Earth" will be very popular with young people, because he made this movie with a very mouthy but very indifferent atmosphere, and there must be a market on that occasion.
Liang Baoguang made up for sleep in the afternoon, and in the evening, the mother and son went to PerSe for dinner together, and they had promised to spend Christmas together, so Yun Jingyi booked a restaurant early. Originally, it was most appropriate to cook a meal for her son in person during such a festival, but her skills couldn't be used at all, and the mother and son had high requirements for food, so they could only eat outside.
Two materialists spend Christmas together, the atmosphere of Christmas is almost meaningless, but it is strange that mother and son have an atmosphere together, they always think about it when they don't meet, they really meet but can't say nutritious words, Yun Jingyi was entangled for a long time, and then asked a question that she wanted to laugh when she finished speaking, "Are you wearing autumn pants?"
"It's so cold in Boston, and I live by the sea, so I can't go out without pants. Liang Baoguang was a little speechless, sitting in a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, his mother, who is the CFO of a large company, actually wanted to discuss this kind of issue, and those subordinates of NEE Energy knew about it and didn't know what to think.
"Sure enough, it's an adult. Yun Jingyi said with emotion.
"Uh......" Liang Baoguang chewed the beef in his mouth, while thinking about life strangely, and took the initiative to put on autumn pants when it was cold, which is a sign of maturity, what kind of strange setting is this?
