Chapter 276 Going Home and "Railway Guerrilla"

Beijing, Dashi Zuo Hutong
Cao Xuan poked his head into the courtyard and saw Sun Lan drying clothes.

"Mom, where is my dad?"

"Son, you are back."

Sun Lan was surprised, and pulled Cao Xuan into the house: "When will you come back? If you don't call home, I will pick you up."

"What are you guys doing? Someone from the company will pick it up. Mom, take a look. I bought them all abroad. Cosmetics, supplements, and specialty products. You and my dad will try them."

Cao Xuan put down the big and small bags in his hand, which contained many rare and good things in China, and he bought a lot when he came back.

"What are you doing buying cosmetics? I'm an old woman. You can take them to Jingjing later. Their little girls can use them. There is also this tonic. Give it to your master. He is not in good health."

Life is good, although Sun Lan is still unavoidable to say a few words, she will not easily blame Cao Xuan for wasting money, but she is still not very good at enjoying good things, she is not willing to use good things for herself, and always misses other people and gifts.

"Don't worry, they all have them. This is specially for you two elders. You are practical."

It's rare to go abroad, Cao Xuan is naturally not stingy when buying things, parents have a share, things are in both palaces, and relatives and friends are not forgotten, and the money spent on shopping alone is hundreds of thousands.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Sun Lan nodded, gathered things together briefly, and pulled her son to sit down: "Tell Mom, what happened to Zeng Li?"

Speaking of this, Sun Lan still felt a little bit hard to say. Before New Year's Day, when Comrade Cao returned to his hometown during the winter solstice, Cao Xuan suddenly brought Hu Jing to visit.

From the moment Cao Xuan graduated from high school and stepped into the society, Sun Lan began to miss her daughter-in-law, but for so many years, she just listened to her letter and never saw her.

So when I saw Hu Jing at that time, I was so happy, I grabbed my daughter-in-law's hand and couldn't let go, wishing that the two would get married right away and give her a big fat grandson.

Because of this, Sun Lan was happy at home for several days, until Lao Cao came back, and couldn't wait for her husband to share about her son bringing his girlfriend home, Lao Cao looked calm.

"I've seen that child before, and it's very beautiful."

"Yes, Jingjing is not only beautiful, but also has a cute personality. Auntie and Auntie are so sweet. I heard that the two have known each other since 96, and they have only brought them back now."

"Jingjing? Isn't it Zeng Li?"

Lao Cao looked confused, although Sun Lan was also stupid, they thought it was Cao Xuan who had changed his girlfriend, but after a phone call, Cao Xuan was not afraid of boiling water.

"Hu Jing is my girlfriend, and so is Zeng Li. I'll bring another one to show you guys later."

Good guy, Lao Cao almost died of anger when he heard this.

How did I give birth to such a bastard son? If my ancestors knew about it, everyone except Cao Cao would have to lift the coffin.

Sun Lan was also angry, but she was partial to being a mother. No matter how good the daughter-in-law was, she couldn't feel as good as her son.

So after getting angry, she began to think about the benefits of the two daughters-in-law, not to mention, the big fat grandson will not worry.

So Sun Lan's psychology was very complicated, she was a little proud, but also a little guilty, she was looking forward to the benefits of her two daughters-in-law, but also afraid of messing up the family if she messed up.

She couldn't tell Cao Shuangguo about this. Lao Cao was still holding back his breath. Now that he was finally looking forward to his son, he hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry about these things. I'll handle them myself. I'll bring them over to see you later. Just pretend that you don't have another person, and just be your good mother-in-law down-to-earth."

"That won't work. Jingjing has come here twice these days. Later, you bring that Zeng Li here. What if you run into him?"

This is what Sun Lan is most worried about. She can be the mother-in-law of one daughter-in-law, but what will she do if two come together.

Daughter-in-law Shura field, even thinking about it is scary...

"No, they will stagger by themselves. Every time Hu Jing comes over, she will call you in advance. If they bump into each other, just find an excuse to block the other person."

Cao Xuan shared with his mother the secrets of the scumbag old lady, and Sun Lan's three views collapsed when he heard it. He couldn't help but kicked him and cursed.

"I was very honest when I was young, but how did I become so bad when I grew up? Oops, I blush when I hear your words, and I feel sorry for the girl."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'm nothing, but this is the end of the matter. You can't let the good girl run away from our house."

After Cao Xuan confessed this incident, he never expected to be able to maintain his image in front of his parents.

It doesn't matter if you get scolded or even beaten twice, as long as you get the benefits.

Although there was nothing he could do about this cheeky son, he pointed at him bitterly.

"Your father and I are so foolish, but what about other parents, you are not afraid that your two fathers-in-law will beat you to death."

"Take one step at a time, and we will talk about the future."

Cao Xuan actually had some sinister ideas, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise Sun Lan would break his legs without using his two father-in-laws.

"Don't talk about this, mom, Hu Jing has been here, has my dad met?"

"See you."

When Sun Lan mentioned this, she couldn't help laughing: "Your dad used to pretend to be mean, and scolded you every day at home. He disagreed with this, and disagreed with that. When Jing Jing came, his face was smiling like a flower."

"Then do you think he's still angry?"

"Anger may be angry, but it shouldn't be too much. Let me tell you about the news about you in Japan and Thailand this time. Your father is very happy. I used to call my hometown to report the news. This time your father took the initiative to call.

In the news that you shook hands with the Thai Prime Minister in Thailand, your father even went to find someone to get the photo on the Internet and hang it at home. "

"I'll get it for him later."

Cao Xuan understood Comrade Cao's obsession with "officials" very well, it was engraved in his bones.

He had no doubts that if one day he got positive news with a major leader in the country, the old man would be able to drink half a catty happily by himself.

If Cao Xuan could become an official, it would be difficult to confess him at home, but the smile on his face would definitely add three points.

However, this time Cao Xuan became famous overseas, and it is estimated that he can make further progress in the Music Association. Due to his seniority, he can't be a leader, so there is still hope for a nominal officer.

Cao Xuan feels that if the European and American markets develop smoothly in the future, with the potential of international superstars, there is still a good chance of being a member of the music association.

As for the vice-chairman of the music association, there is no need to think about it before the age of 30. The local music association may be possible, but it is not easy to say.

The two of them were chatting, when Cao Shuangguo came back with two big cabbages on a tricycle, Cao Xuan stepped forward to take them.

"Why do you buy so many vegetables?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and prices are not stable. The neighborhood committee told me to stock up on more living supplies. I'll buy some cabbage and potatoes that I can store, and I'll go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities at night."

"Alright, I'll help you tonight."

Cao Xuan carried the cabbage and potatoes into the utility room, and sent the tricycle back to the neighbor.

As soon as he got home, he saw that Sun Lan was gone. Cao Shuangguo got a tea set somewhere and was fiddling with on the sofa. When he saw him enter the door, he waved.

"Come on, let's have a chat."

"Uh, my company has something to do."

"Don't worry, it won't take you long."

Although Lao Cao didn't like to talk, Sun Lan was the one who communicated the most with the old couple, and most of the people who beat and scolded him were Sun Lan, but Cao Xuan was actually most afraid of his father.

Sun Lan took care of the small things, and it was over after a couple of beatings and scolding. The real big things came from Lao Cao, especially in this battle, his face was so serious, Cao Xuan felt really weak in his heart, and his legs were weak.

It's not because he's timid, it's because his blood is suppressed, there's nothing he can do...

Cao Xuan sat down cautiously, and observed the surrounding environment calmly, if he really did make a move, how could he run the fastest.

Unexpectedly, instead of hitting or scolding, Lao Cao handed him a cup of tea, Cao Xuan quickly took it with both hands, Cao Shuangguo glanced at him, and sighed.

"Now you are a big star, an entrepreneur, famous in Japan, and received by the Prime Minister of Thailand. Your mother and I are both old and have never seen the world, so we can't control you.

I don't know what to say about your matter, but I hope you don't let them down, both of them are good boys, it's enough to lose your conscience if you step on two boats, and if you hurt others, it's really nothing. "

"Dad, don't worry, I will treat them well."

Cao Xuan quickly expressed his opinion, and Comrade Cao nodded: "As long as you know what you want, I won't say anything more. It's all about the path you choose, and you will bear the consequences yourself."

After finishing speaking, Lao Cao waved his hand, indicating that Cao Xuan could get out, Cao Xuan was a little unbelievable, he was ready to face the storm, he did not expect it to be so calm.

"It's over, are you always angry?"

"I told you to give up one and live a good life with the other, do you listen?"

"Do not listen!"

"Then it's over, you don't listen to me, what can I say, you can do it yourself.

If you lose your reputation, go home and stay there; if you go in, your mother and I will deliver food to you in prison; if you die, you will have children to help you raise them, but if you don’t have children to bury you, we will find a rope and hang you to death. A family of three gathers together..."

"No way, no way."

Cao Xuan broke into a cold sweat when he heard that, good guy, the old man is thinking too much.

However, compared with the tragedy Cao Shuangguo said, finding two daughters-in-law is really nothing. Sure enough, as long as the bottom line is low enough, anything can be tolerated.

Cao Xuan once again praised his way of avoiding the limelight overseas.

During the half-month gap, Cao Shuangguo's temper was exhausted, otherwise this test would be really difficult.

Cao Xuan rejoiced in his heart that Comrade Cao really didn't want to talk about his son's mess, but there was one more thing to say.

"This time I went back to my hometown, and a city leader contacted me. I didn't understand what I said, but according to your uncle's analysis, I want you to help my hometown."

Give back to your hometown!

But this time it's not a small charity. The city leader came to the door in person, probably because he was eyeing a big star like him.

In fact, Cao Xuan knew it well, as his fame and wealth grew, the elders in his hometown would definitely want to get some credit.

In particular, an economically weak market like Zaoshi needs the help of favorable capital.

So Cao Xuan was mentally prepared for this.

But all domestic rich people are always sought by their hometowns. In big cities like Erma, even their own businesses are doing well in the local area. Other rich people who develop in other places cannot escape the matter of giving back to their hometown elders.

The vast majority of people donated hospitals, schools, and libraries, which certainly helped their hometown, but did not improve the economic environment of their hometown.

In contrast, in addition to these public facilities, what the people in their hometown need more is for these rich people to return to their hometown to invest and drive the economy.

But there is one thing to say, investment is not that simple, the things inside are very complicated, and there are many things involved, so the rich would rather spend money than invest in their hometown.

The one who has done a better job is JD.com’s Dong Ge. Apart from other aspects, Dong Ge is definitely a rich man when it comes to giving back to the elders in his hometown.

A series of cooperations have been formed between my hometown and JD.com, which has substantially boosted my hometown's economy and employment rate.

Having said that, Cao Xuan would definitely want to emulate Dong Ge if he could, but he does not have any real business in his hands. Most of the Internet, games, film and television industries he is involved in cannot form cooperation with Zaoshi.

Unless the film and television city is built in Zaoshi... Wait, the film and television city.

Cao Xuan was taken aback for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Zaoshi and Linshi next door had film and television studios. Later, many anti-war dramas of the Republic of China went to these places to shoot.

The plan of Fanxing to invest in film and television bases is mainly around the capital. This plan remains unchanged in general, which is caused by the market. However, it is not impossible to separate out a sub-base of the Republic of China Film and Television City to give back to the elders in the hometown.

The railway guerrillas and the old Yimeng area are well-known, and they can fully develop tourism in addition to supplying film and television shooting, and it is in line with the main theme, and it is easy to obtain support from the local government.

As a native of Zaoshi, Cao Xuan still knows the IP of "Railway Guerrillas" very well. It was one of the well-known old movies in the 50s.

In 95, he made another movie "Flying Tigers", in which his master Li Xuejian played an important role.

Yuan Shikong filmed the TV series "Railway Guerrilla" in 05, which can be regarded as a relatively classic anti-Japanese drama. Riding a bicycle on a train was once a famous scene in the early drama.

Now Qian Yanqiu and Zhang Zijian under the banner of Fanxing, Yuan Shikong also adapted the TV series "Railway Guerrilla".

But the one I played the most was Cheng Long's "Railway Flying Tiger". He brought a bunch of fresh meat to eat pancakes, which gave Cao Xuan a headache.

And in 2021, Fan Wei and Zhang Hanyu made another movie "Railway Heroes", which also tells the story of the railway guerrillas.

Such a strong and long-term vitality shows the influence of the railway guerrilla IP. Cao Xuan felt that he, a native of Zaoshi, would feel sorry for the elders in his hometown if he didn’t make a film.

However, "Railway Guerrilla" can be filmed, but Cao Xuan of the Film and Television City thinks that it still needs to be studied.

This is not to say that it will be built immediately. The film and television city does not exist independently. It also needs to consider various surrounding facilities and the support of the local government.

Even if Cao Xuan's money came from a strong wind, it should not be wasted casually, it should be used in the right place.

"Dad, don't worry about this matter. I'll contact you later and I'll definitely help you."

"Row."

Cao Shuangguo nodded. He didn't know anything about Cao Xuan's career, so he never cared about it or asked for anything.

If it weren't for the fact that the two girlfriends were going too far, Cao Shuangguo would not have bothered to deal with it at all.

I walk the birds and play chess every day, and I have nothing to do to make a guest appearance in a group performance. What a fun little day...
