Chapter 57 Aunt

It has entered the beginning of summer, and under the blow of the ocean monsoon, it is raining outside the window.

"President, your gift."

Cai Zhiliang took the stuffed toy handed from the front desk of the newspaper office and walked out of the newspaper office. Tonight, there were guests at home, and Cai Zhiliang needed to go home.

Today’s guest is Cai Zhiliang’s aunt and Zhao Baoxiu’s half-sister, Zhao Baoqian.

The relationship between Zhao Baoxiu and her two brothers is far from harmonious, except for Zhao Baoxian, the youngest sister.

Zhao Baoqian is only five years older than Cai Zhiliang, and she and Zhao Baoxiu are like two generations. The process of Zhao Baoxian growing up is that Zhao Baoxiu is a wife and mother. There are no disputes under the same roof, but the two people have become closer.

relationship.

As soon as Cai Zhiliang entered the door, he saw Zhao Baoxian sitting on the sofa, chatting with her mother.

"Mom, aunt..." Cai Zhiliang greeted.

"This is just a gift." Zhao Baoqian took the toy from Cai Zhiliang's hand and complained.

Cai Zhiliang rolled his eyes and ignored his aunt's complaint, but asked: "Where's my cousin, why didn't I come with you?"

The cousin mentioned by Cai Zhiliang is naturally Zhao Baoxian's daughter, Deng Xiaoya, who is seven years old this year.

Zhao Baoqian said: "I couldn't sit still, so I went out with Aqiang."

Aqiang is Cai Zhiliang's uncle's son, Zhao Zhiqiang.

"Children." Cai Zhiliang could understand and said, "When I came in, I didn't see the two of them?"

Zhao Baoxiu took over the conversation and said, "A Ming drove out and should be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Deng Xiaoya held the chocolate and walked in from the door. When she saw Cai Zhiliang, Deng Xiaoya's eyes lit up and she shouted: "Cousin..."

Deng Xiaoya jogged a few steps and came to Cai Zhiliang's side. She saw the plush Mickey Mouse. She immediately put the chocolate on the coffee table and reached out to pick up the toy.

Zhao Baoqian pulled her daughter over and said, "Wash your hands first, they are so dirty."

Deng Xiaoya had just finished eating the chocolate, and her mouth and hands were still stained with dark chocolate.

Deng Xiaoya smiled at her mother, struggled a few times, but failed to break away from Zhao Baoxian's hand, so she could only go to the bathroom obediently.

"Cousin..." Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to park the car and came in late.

Cai Zhiliang and Zhao Zhiqiang stood together, made signs and said, "Mom, do you think Aqiang has grown taller again?"

Zhao Zhiqiang's height of over 1.8 meters made Cai Zhiliang sigh.

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled shyly, but Zhao Baoxiu ignored Cai Zhiliang and just greeted everyone to eat. But Deng Xiaoya, a child, was running around the living room holding Mickey Mouse, but refused to eat.

Zhao Baoxiu coaxed her for a long time, but to no avail. It wasn't until Zhao Baoxian confiscated the toys that Deng Xiaoya sat down at the dinner table in grievance.

While the meal was being served, Cai Zhiliang asked: "Auntie, how long will you stay back this time?"

Although Zhao Baoqian was married to a local from Hong Kong City, after the Sino-British negotiations were settled, her family immigrated to the UK. The last time she came back was the year before last.

Zhao Baoqian said: "I'll leave after the weekend. The air tickets have been booked."

This weekend is Cai Zhiliang's grandfather's birthday. Zhao Baoqian also took this opportunity to take her daughter back to Hong Kong City to stay for a few days and celebrate her father's birthday.

Cai Zhiliang asked: "Since you have come back, why don't you stay a few more days?"

Zhao Baoqian pointed at her daughter and said, "It's almost the end of the term, and Xiaoya still has to go to school."

Deng Xiaoya picked up her rice and muttered in protest: "I don't want to go to school."

Cai Zhiliang asked: "If you don't go to school, what are you going to do?"

"Let's play with Mickey Mouse." Deng Xiaoya said, pointing to her new toy.

When you are at a carefree age, you always think about carefree things.

Cai Zhiliang winked at Deng Xiaoya and said, "When you reach my age, you won't have to go to school."

Deng Xiaoya then turned her little head and said blankly: "How long do we have to wait?"

Everyone started laughing, and Deng Xiaoya was soon full. She put down her chopsticks and continued to hold Mickey Mouse and wander around the living room.

"I'll give you some of the new tea I bought." Cai Zhiliang took out the green tea he just bought a few days ago and made a cup for Zhao Baoqian and Zhao Zhiqiang respectively.

"A-Liang, listen to your mother, you and Miss Zheng broke up. Do you have a suitable partner now?" Zhao Baoqian took a sip of tea and asked about Cai Zhiliang's life events.

Cai Zhiliang really didn't want to mention the matter and said, "I've been busy with my career recently. Let's talk about it later."

Zhao Baoqian made a "cheep" sound and said with a smile: "Is this your movie career?"

"Have you heard about it too?" Cai Zhiliang was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved and said, "Auntie, let me tell you, this film investment will definitely be the most profitable business in the next ten years."

Zhao Baoqian asked: "The newspaper said that you invested more than 10 million and invited Zhou Runfa to star. Are these true?"

Cai Zhiliang nodded and said: "Most of it is true, and there is not that much investment, only a few million."

"A few million is not a lot. If you say you are not good at what you do, you have to jump into this quagmire. If the film market was really so profitable, Sir Shao would not quit the industry." Regarding the film market, Zhao Baoxian's views represent

The thoughts of many people.

Once upon a time, Shaw Brothers was synonymous with movies. Now, if movies are making money, why would Sir Shaw withdraw from the market?

Zhao Baoxiu sat aside and listened carefully to the conversation between her sister and her son without speaking.

Cai Zhiliang glanced at Zhao Baoxiu, then at Zhao Baoxian, and suddenly realized that maybe this was not just what Zhao Baoxian meant. Zhao Baoxiu did not want to directly order his son, but chose a roundabout way, taking advantage of this opportunity, by his sister

Come and persuade.

Cai Zhiliang didn't know how to explain some things, so he could only say matter-of-factly: "The two movies I am investing in now are both produced by Xu Ke Studio. Xu Ke has directed "The Best Partner 3", "The Working Emperor"

" and a series of blockbuster movies, I have a lot of research on the film market, so I invested in his movie. Even if it doesn't make money in the end, it will definitely not lose money. As for "Autumn Fairy Tale", it was announced by this year's Academy Awards

The film was directed by the Best Director, and it was only launched in September, just waiting for the current box office dividends of "A Better Tomorrow" and "Da Ma Dan". Calculated in this way, my investment is not much, only 4 million. This is not suitable for the current film market.

Speaking of which, it’s really not much.”

After doing some analysis on his investment, Cai Zhiliang once again emphasized: "You can rest assured, no matter how bad it is, it will be a situation of no profit and no loss."

Seeing that the conversation was about this, Zhao Baoxi said nothing more and turned to talk about something else. It was not until 10 o'clock in the evening that Zhao Baoxian stood up to leave. Zhao Baoxiu did not persuade her to stay and sent her sister and nephew to the door.

Since Cai Mingchao's accident, there has been no overnight guest at home.

Before Zhao Baoqian got into the car, she said to Cai Zhiliang again: "Your mother has already suffered a lot in her life, so don't let her worry about it."

Cai Zhiliang nodded and said: "If we really don't make money by August, I will stop investing."

Zhao Baoqian was finally satisfied and said: "Okay, let's go back."

Cai Zhiliang said to Zhao Zhiqiang: "Aqiang, give me a call when you get home."

"I know." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhiqiang had already started the car.

After Zhao Baoqian and the others left, Zhao Baoxiu said: "Doctor Zhang came here today and suggested that we send your father to the hospital. It will cause a lot of inconvenience to the family."

Cai Zhiliang said: "Then listen to Dr. Zhang and ask for an escort when the time comes. It will make it easier for you."

"When will your dad wake up?" Zhao Baoxiu sighed.
