the longest dream

Chapter 108 It's Difficult

Finally, when the red light of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the hotel's nylon curtains to the two people coiled together, Qi Juan, who was like a ball of nephrite jade, let out a long breath and said, "That's great! I'm sure now that you have not been cheated by the capital." The decay of the socialist world is corroded..."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Are you ashamed?"

Feeling the sweat on his back, he got up and picked up Qi Juan, went into the bathroom, and fiddled for half an hour before he carried her out and wrapped her in a towel.

Qi Juan lay sideways on the pillow, looked at Zhang Qing who was sitting at the head of the bed holding a towel to dry her hair, and said with a smile, "How is the style of Hong Kong Island?"

Hong Kong Island has not yet returned to China, so it is very inconvenient to make calls.

Twenty yuan a minute for international calls, you still need to go to the post office to make a call, even in Shanghai.

Of course, Tianhong Group's internal calls can definitely be used for long-distance calls, but there are rules and regulations within the group that do not allow private calls.

When Qi Juan, the imperial concubine, entered the company, she was stared at by countless eyes, and it was inconvenient to call her.

Therefore, the two of them have only called once in the past two months, and have not spoken a few words.

Now we finally meet again, the enthusiasm is stronger than the fire, and after the excitement dissipates, the narrative begins.

Zhang Qing dried Qi Juan's hair, put the towel aside, looked at the long-missed face in front of her, and said with a smile: "Remember what I said to give you a surprise earlier?"

Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing lazily but nostalgicly, nodded and said, "What is it?"

It was rare for Zhang Qing to show off, and said with a smile: "I filmed a movie on Hong Kong Island, which is currently in theaters. Now the box office has exceeded [-] million. It is estimated that the total box office will exceed [-] million. At the box office, the net profit may exceed [-] million."

Qi Juan stared at Zhang Qing for a while, then smiled and said, "Are you serious? Didn't you study in Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Qing was not without complacency, and said with a smile: "By chance, I was appreciated by Mr. Qiao Beiyan, and Mr. Wang Ruolin and Mr. Wang also helped me a lot. I wrote the script, invested [-] million yuan, and borrowed Qiao's studio. Mr. Wang His son Wang Chang was the director, and Li Qifa was invited to play the leading role."

Qi Juan didn't sound like a joke, she sat up, disregarding the sight of the bath towel on her body, she looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Damn it, you..."

But before he finished speaking, the phone in the bag suddenly rang.

Zhang Qing brought her the bag, and Qi Juan took out a black Ericsson GH398 mobile phone, which was exactly the same as Zhang Qing's. She looked at Zhang Qing and smiled, then connected the phone: "Hello?"

Li Suzhi's voice came from the phone: "Did Zhang Qing receive it?"

Qi Juan said with a smile: "I just arrived for a while, and I am being sent to the hotel."

She reported a flight late to her family.

Li Suzhi said "hmm" and said, "Put down your luggage and come here quickly, grandma is still waiting."

Qi Juan said with a playful smile: "Two hours at most, living in Hengchang, it's a bit far away."

Li Suzhi said indifferently: "At most half an hour. Hurry up, Grandpa's secretary called back just now, saying that Grandpa is suddenly very angry and has taken Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, and will leave work early. I don't know why."

Qi Juan's complexion changed when she heard the words, and she said, "I'll be home in twenty minutes."

After Li Suzhi said "um", she hung up the phone.

Zhang Qing asked concerned: "Does it matter?"

Qi Juan's complexion was rare, and she said softly: "I don't know, my grandfather has rarely been so angry in recent years...Go home first."

The two quickly got dressed, and after checking each other that there was nothing wrong, they went downstairs and left the hotel to drive away.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. My grandpa is usually in good health. If something happened, he didn't go home, but went to the hospital. He was too tired in the past and had some heart problems, but grandpa took good care of himself."

Perhaps seeing Zhang Qing's serious expression, Qi Juan smiled and comforted her.

Zhang Qing nodded and asked, "How have you been in the company for the past two months, have you adapted?"

Qi Juan said with a smile: "Speak less, move less, watch more and learn more. I can't compare to you. Take [-] million to practice. They are not afraid that you will lose money. Didn't they join forces to cheat you?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Qiao Beiyan and Wang Ruolin have teamed up to trick me?"

After Qi Juan laughed at herself, she asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to see Zhong Qu? Why did you catch Qiao Beiyan's eyes?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Guess."

Qi Juan has recovered most of her love brain at this moment, and after thinking about it, she smiled and said, "I can't think of any connection between you and Mr. Qiao, except for Beiyan Tower."

Zhang Qingdao: "I was talking to Mr. Wang Ruolin, Qiao Lao and Li Fangjie came in, because my junior high school was donated by Qiao Lao, so I bowed and said hello."

Qi Juan understood, and then said funnyly: "Oh, the fate of people... don't say it now, or you will have to say it twice later."

Zhang Qing suddenly came to his senses, looked at Qi Juan with strange eyes and said, "You have improved a lot in morality, just now you talked about your business, and you came to my side?"

Qi Juan laughed, and then sighed: "It's really hard to say. Industry is inherently difficult, and heavy industry is even more difficult. It is even more difficult to conquer the crown of machinery industry. It is almost like climbing to the sky. It is too difficult to say." heavy."

The current level of China's industry can be described by more than one word "difficult"...

The speed of technological innovation in the West is fast and changing with each passing day.

The blockade against China is heavily surrounded. Every time industrial workers take a step forward, the efforts and sweat they put in are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The key is that when you take a step, people fly hundreds of meters away...

Zhang Qingdao: "Movies are actually similar. Western films are now conquering cities in Asia, while Hong Kong films are sluggish in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and the Bay Area. Occasionally, it will not help the general trend of decline. It is said that it is booming and declining, but it is actually a workshop. The filmmaking model is bound to be defeated by the systematic film industry. Right now, it is still alive, and when Hollywood presents a film that can represent the pinnacle of film advancement, the remaining prosperity will be destroyed immediately.”

Qi Juan glanced at Zhang Qing and said, "You mean, people all over the country will only watch Hollywood blockbusters?"

Zhang Qing was depressed: "How do I feel, you seem to be a little happy?"

Qi Juan giggled and said, "One thing to say, Hollywood movies are indeed better than domestic ones. There are too many bad movies in our movies."

Zhang Qing was a little helpless, and said: "It's not that there are no bad movies in Hollywood. In fact, Hollywood has the most bad movies. But people protect intellectual property rights, and they don't follow the trend so unscrupulously. Otherwise, they will be sued for bankruptcy. So in addition to the big screen, there are also big screens. If the channels and derivatives are paid for, there will be people who are willing to invest a lot of energy and financial resources in crafting, developing and improving. Naturally, there will be good films. In contrast, our place, even Hong Kong Island, is not good. too far."

Qi Juan sympathized: "Then what do you do? Save Chinese movies? Don't worry, I will definitely support you with a movie ticket."

Zhang Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not for me to think about it. The big shots in the Film Bureau have to worry about it. All I can do is to do my own thing well."

Qi Juan enviously said: "You are free and you can do whatever you want. I can't do it. In my grandfather's words, the Qi family has received great kindness from the country, and shoulders the responsibility and morality of blah blah blah blah. Just let it go, The old man is pitiful, and besides, the Qi family indeed enjoys the treatment of national scholars. Only when we really get in touch, will we know how difficult it is, not to mention that what I have come into contact with is only the tip of the iceberg."

Zhang Qing said: "Is it too tight outside?"

Stopped the car in front of the red light, Qi Juan looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "It's okay for the time being outside, but the domestic pressure is actually greater. Local protectionism is terrible. Plus those state-owned enterprises, no one is good. In the same way. Under the banner of revitalizing the national industry, there are many things to come to 'share' technology... In short, there are a lot of troubles. Do you know what Tianhong's biggest trouble is?"

Zhang Qing shook his head, the smile on Qi Juan's face faded, and said: "My grandfather is the soul of Tianhong, and he is the absolute pillar. Not only because of his high prestige in the hearts of the workers, but also because of his good relationship with the higher-ups. Most wolves don't dare to stretch their claws. My grandfather is here, Tianhong will be as safe as Mount Tai. But if my grandfather..."

Hearing this, Zhang Qing's face was very solemn, and his brows were tightly frowned.

The speed of the car slowed down a bit, Qi Juan glanced sideways at him, suddenly let out a smirk, and said, "Did something suddenly happen to me, worrying that I would be sent out to get married?"

Zhang Qing nodded truthfully, and said: "I really have this kind of worry. I have had it before, and now I am even more worried."

Qi Juan laughed and said: "Don't worry. Although my grandfather is an old antique, he is not that powerful, so he can take it easy. He often said that no number of high-ranking generals have been rich for three generations, let alone the Qi family? Want to rely on marriage and relatives?" Those who continue to be rich are idiots, and if they are not strong, no one can count on them, unless I like it myself. The only requirement my grandfather had for my choice was good character and integrity. Don’t worry, you will be fine. Although you have half a foot In the entertainment industry, without performing on stage, he is better than my dad."

After Zhang Qing was stunned for a while, he said seriously: "Your family are really good people."

Qi Juan smiled and said, "If you like you, you are a good person? But you should really thank my parents. They have said a lot of good things about you in the past two months."

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "I have always been grateful to Uncle Qi and Aunt Li."

Qi Juan asked the bottom line and said with a smile, "What are you grateful for?"

Zhang Qing said: "Thank them for giving birth to such a good daughter."

Qi Juan laughed, then nodded seriously: "This is fundamental!"

The two talked and laughed, and when they arrived at Songjiang Garden, they parked the car in the garage, and entered the villa hand in hand...
