196. Chapter XXXIV
After ending the filming of "Life", Cui Qi took Lilia back to China, this time mainly to seek medical treatment for Lilia's genetic defects. After five months of gene therapy, doctors declared Lilia's treatment over, followed by a lengthy observation period. Gene therapy is so delicate that it is operated on genetic factors, and it is not visible from the outside, and it may change as it grows, so it has an exceptionally long observation period. After the gene therapy ended, for the subsequent observation and recuperation, the attending physician in the United States recommended the domestic genetic research institute, Cui Qi listened to it in his heart, and as soon as the filming of "Life" ended, he flew to China with Lilia in his arms.
It was Yuqi who came to pick up the airport, he didn't know that Cui Qi had an extra daughter, and when he saw him coming out with a baby at the exit of the airport, he was a little curious: "Whose baby?" ”
"Mine," Cui replied. The climate of the two countries is very different across an ocean, when the Spring Festival is approaching, the weather in the national capital is cold and dry, Cui Qi was afraid that Lilia would be cold after getting off the plane, so he specially bought a cashmere blanket at the airport to wrap her in it.
"Who?" Seeing Cui Qi holding a child, Yuqi took his trolley case, and when he heard Cui Qi's answer, he moved his ears to think that he had heard it wrong.
"Mine," Cui repeated in standard Mandarin, hearing Yuqi stumble and almost stumble over the trolley case.
"You're married?" Yuqi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"No," Cui shook her head, brushing Lilia's small hand from her mouth and wiping her saliva.
"Not married? Your little ones? Yuqi took a moment to sort out the relationship, looked at him, and stopped talking with a face.
Cui Qi can guess what he wants to say casually, although he was out of tune when he was young, but Yuqi is obviously the mainstream of the East, and she disapproves of having children out of wedlock. Cui Qicai didn't want to listen to him, so he opened his mouth and asked something: "Second brother, is there any news about what I asked you to ask?" ”
"The high-level ones can't be connected for the time being," Yuqi shook her head and recommended another path: "You want to find a relationship in the genetic institute...... You may have to find a pool less. ”
Cui Qi didn't want to find Chi Ziyu much, he had a fight with Dr. Chi before he went abroad, but looking at Lilia, he made a call in the afternoon.
"Yo, are you willing to come back?" In the office of the Institute of Psychology, Chi Ziyu waited for him with Erlang's legs crossed: "Aren't you comfortable abroad, Spree actor?" He threw him a knife of evaluation paper in a weird way: "Recheck it once every six months, anyway, I said it in vain, fill out the form, take the test consent form, and open the back door for you, Lao Wang is in the psychometric room next door, there are hundreds of measurement tables waiting for you to do." ”
"I don't have time today," Cui Qi shook his head directly and sat on the sofa next to the wall of his office: "Want to ask you for a favor?" ”
Chi Ziyu turned his pen and waited for him to continue.
"My daughter was born with a genetic defect and I wanted to ask the Institute of Genetics ......"
"Wait, wait, who? Who has a genetic defect? Chi Ziyu waved his hand and paused, asking who he was.
"My daughter," Cui repeated, speaking clearly in standard Mandarin.
Chi Ziyu was stunned for a while, twitched the corners of his mouth, he was worried that the condition of this product would be repeated after two years of not being rechecked, but he was relieved to hear it, Ya's life is really comfortable, and even the baby is there, so how can he be embarrassed by a single dog!
"The Genetic Institute? I know," Chi Ziyu lowered his head and slapped his hands, and hurried people out: "You go to Lao Wang's place to do measurements first, you can do a few to do a few, and the rest will be done tomorrow, as well as a physical examination, and I will open the back door for you tomorrow, and I will do it together, and come over on an empty stomach in the morning." Chi Ziyu brushed out a few checklists.
Knowing that Chi Ziyu should respond, Cui Qi's heart was relieved, and he moved to the next door, he really didn't want to do an inspection.
This step moved like a caterpillar, Chi Ziyu was speechless behind him, patted the table and urged him to hurry up, there are people who have babies, and the attitude of hating to do inspections is still as obvious as ever.
Cui Qi was rare to be at ease when he returned to the country, and at first glance he didn't realize that the recognition at home and abroad was different, and he was holding Lilia and visiting museums and botanical gardens, and he had a lot of fun, and when the entertainment gossip made headlines, he remembered that he should pay attention to the appearance rate.
"Make headlines as soon as you return home?" Fan Da's agent called him to go back to the company, and he didn't jump like this for a long time, and he still had a smile in his tone. As soon as Cui Qi returned to China, he disappeared as soon as he was notified by a text message, and there was a whole big news, this familiar development model made Fan Da's agent very nostalgic, nostalgic and skipped, and saw Fang Ruian when he got out of the office, Fan's big agent slapped his head at this time, and he wanted to hit the wall, and he forgot that the old party came to discuss new film investment today. Think about Cui Qi and think about Fang Ruian, Fan Da's agent can't help but have a headache, they are all shareholders, they don't see each other when they look down, what's the matter?
It's not neat, one gets married, the other has a baby, it's like a plate of cold dried vegetables, and it's ordinary to eat a table. What else can I do? Xie Sirong almost never appears in front of people when she retires from the circle, the past is gone, and no one is qualified to break the past and say that it doesn't count. It's better not to see, Cui Qi thought, he hugged Lilia and kissed her long eyelashes gently.
It's better not to see it, he is obviously not the only one who thinks like this, even the long-sleeved Fang Yingdi who is good at dancing is embarrassed when he encounters this incident.
"Xiaoguang is back, I will play this role," Fang Ruian ignored Liang Feiyu's embarrassed face very unexpectedly and directly recommended Cui Qi, he stood up and inserted his pockets and seemed a little unable to sit still, after thinking about it for a while, he sighed and decided to leave. It's better not to see. I didn't want to be unlucky, and as soon as I opened the door, I met Cui Qi who was holding the child.
Fang Yingdi opened his mouth, and suddenly there was a feeling of being speechless, and he couldn't hold back a word.
"Uncle Fang," it turned out that Cui Qi spoke first. The clouds are light and the wind is light, just like in the past.
Fang Yingdi didn't know how he should feel, his heart was so complicated that it was difficult to describe, he sighed and replied to him: "You're back?" He looked at Lilia, obviously confused.
"My daughter," Cui Qi smiled, her eyebrows stretched, facing Fang Rui'an, and said, "The previous things have passed." The moment he saw Fang Ruian, he suddenly understood that sometimes it was not himself but the other party who couldn't let go.
Xie Sirong held her wedding a month ago. Cui Qi knew the news, a very low-key and luxurious wedding, just a dozen friends and dozens of relatives attended, no media, no reporters, some just a sentence "forever". After that, a joint statement, jointly issued with Fang Ruian, the unexpected combination of two people was like an atomic bomb, which blew up the entire entertainment industry. No one thought that some people laughed and blessed, some people wept with grief and indignation, and some people cursed maliciously. The one who endured the most was Xie Sirong, who was called a scheming bitch green tea bitch, and was scolded as a "slut" and "disgusting", in the face of all the abuse and blessings, she only replied with one sentence: "Thank you for your love and support over the years, after which I will quit the entertainment industry." This is her most recent Weibo update, a month ago, and after that, it has completely fallen silent, with only blessings and insults rolling in under the comments. After that, Fang Yingdi, who rarely posts on Weibo, spoke to defend her.
"Blessings," Cui Qi flipped out a Weibo that he hadn't used for a long time, and he posted these two words in Xie Sirong's comments below. Why bother to keep clinging to the past! It took him many years to understand this truth, the Tang Dynasty is gone, the hatred is gone, the unwillingness and regret are also gone, and what is presented in front of him is the future, which may not be clear, but he knows that he has a new future. On the fork in the road in the past, Xie Sirong took Fang Yingdi's hand and walked farther and farther, and he was on the other road, leading Lilia and going farther and farther.
"Does Xiaoguang have any interest in this role?" In the reception room, Su Wu touched the cover page of the script and asked. Qiao Zhi sat beside her, staring at Cui Qi with burning eyes.
Fang Ruian still left, Cui Qi entered the reception room and looked at the script and was surprised, he remembered that the film had started filming a long time ago, and it hadn't finished filming yet?
"There was an accident, this film was shelved halfway, and the heroine is still Yang Yiling," Su Wu smiled and discussed the script. Qiao Zhi sat next to her, barely speaking. "Autism" is not really a disease, this nickname just refers to his personality, he is not gregarious, and he hardly speaks, which makes Cui Qi very curious about how Qiao Zhi directed the film.
"The Song of the Mermaid" is about a poignant love story between a female writer who has returned to her hometown and a teenager who doesn't know where to come, maybe it shouldn't be called love, this is a subtle and confusing feeling, the script is written implicitly, the character dialogue is subtle, some feelings cannot be accurately described, the important thing is the director's directing level. Cui Xuan flipped through the script roughly, a little interested, but he shook his head. Lilia used up almost half of his gene therapy to continue, thinking of the huge observation and recuperation expenses later, Cui Qi wanted to take on commercial films. Due to the conditions, he didn't pick the script very much, Wilson helped him negotiate two before returning to China, Cui Qi nodded and agreed, but at this time, he was a little hesitant in the face of the choice that appeared in front of him. Psychologically, he likes literary films, in fact he had to return to commercial films. Qiao Zhi is one of the few directors in China who only makes art films, and if he wants to win an award, this time is a good choice.
"A modern version of Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei? Reverse serial version? Cui Qi described, he still shook his head. The negotiation was a bit boring, and Lilia "babbled" twice to try to get his attention. Cui Chung patted her on the shoulder and continued to read the script. He liked the role, he knew it, but he was hesitant to take it.
"I need to think about it," he said, without deciding right away.
