After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

"Baby, what are you doing?"

Tong Qingyun walked in slowly from the balcony holding a book.

As soon as I came in, I saw Qin Baobao running from one end of the sofa to the other, and then sitting on the sofa, staring at the advertisement on TV in a daze, his face red.

"Baby?"

Tong Qingyun stopped when he saw that Qin Baobao didn't say anything.

"Ah? Grandma, what's wrong?"

Qin Baobao came back to his senses and asked with his eyes wide open.

Tong Qingyun chuckled, turned and walked towards the living room.

"It's okay. Are you a little bored staying in Liangzhou? It's true that you should be in school at this age, but you have to accompany an old woman like me to recuperate in Liangzhou. It's really a pity."

Tong Qingyun said with a look of regret.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? It's only natural for my granddaughter to accompany you. How can you be annoying?"

"Besides, I studied dance in school. It's not some advanced knowledge. It's the same everywhere."

Qin Baobao didn't know why her grandmother suddenly said that, but that didn't stop her from quickly hugging the old lady's arm and getting close to her.

"Oh? No worries? I saw you were in a daze just now, is there something wrong?"

Tong Qingyun asked.

Qin Baobao didn't want to say it at first, but was afraid that her grandmother would think too much, so she said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that a friend said he wanted to make a movie and was looking for someone."

"I'm thinking about whether to go."

Tong Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Filming? Aren't you from the dance department? Why would you go to film? Which friend of yours is that?"

Qin Baobao laughed when he heard this.

"It's Chen Shuren. When he makes movies, he likes to find some not-so-professional people, and then make some not-so-professional movies that the audience will like."

"Only Dying to Survive is a bit more serious. I also filmed a short film of his before..."

Qin Baobao suddenly stopped talking here.

The scene where she kissed Chen Shuren in "The Piano Tuner" last time suddenly resurfaced in her mind. In addition, this time Chen Shuren directly stated in the group that there was a kissing scene, so Qin Baobao's face turned red again.

"Oh, you mean that micro-movie? My grandma has seen it."

"what?"

Qin Baobao looked at Tong Qingyun who was smiling and quickly covered his face.

"Grandma, when did you see it? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Haha, can grandma not pay attention to the baby's affairs?"

Tong Qingyun touched Qin Baobao's head.

"If it's Chen Shuren's child, I would let you take the photo without any worries."

Qin Baobao was a little confused when he heard this.

"Why would grandma trust Chen Shuren? After all, he hasn't met grandma many times, right?"

Tong Qingyun smiled and said nothing.

They had only met a few times, but the stories about "Dying to Survive" and Hope Pharmaceuticals amazed this old lady for a long time.

In fact, it's not just her. Her son-in-law Qin Chenglin also looked up to Chen Shuren because of his hope in pharmaceutical manufacturing, which is why he took care of Chen Shuren in subsequent movies.

People outside who had no idea about the situation thought that it was Chen Shuren who brought huge returns to Qincheng Pictures, and that was why Qincheng Pictures promoted Chen Shuren.

Those who knew a little bit thought that Qin Chenglin was paving the way for his son-in-law.

Only a few people know that Qin Chenglin is optimistic about Chen Shuren's future achievements!
However, compared with Qin Chenglin's utilitarianism, Tong Qingyun's was mixed with some personal feelings.

She knows her own body, and if there is anything she can't let go of, it is Qin Baobao.

Qin Baobao is her concern, so she doesn't want the person who will accompany Qin Baobao in the future to be a heartless person.

Of course, he didn't want the other party to be someone who had no ability and could only rely on the Qin family.

To this end, she has asked people to introduce her to some young people with similar family backgrounds to the Qin and Tong families more than once.

But later she found that she couldn't find anyone she liked in this circle, or she couldn't grasp the young people in this circle.

She is just an old lady with some wisdom, but not a god.

For families in the same circle as the Tong family and the Qin family, everything that their children teach may not be true.

Tong Qingyun had no idea whether what she thought was good was really good.

If you make the wrong choice, it will be more painful than Qin Baobao marrying an ordinary person.

Later, due to her energy constraints, she had to give up deliberately helping Qin Baobao find a partner, and instead started to screen the boys that Qin Baobao liked.

Not to mention, this way, she would have to worry a lot less.

From Qin Baobao's high school to college, Tong Qingyun sent people to check the family background of almost all the boys who played well with Qin Baobao, and also recorded those boys' daily performance.

Among them, some were crossed out by Tong Qingyun, and some were gradually distanced from Qin Baobao later on.

After college, this kind of screening becomes more intense.

Fortunately, Qin Baobao was also annoyed by those people in college and they were not as close as they were in high school.

So in the end, Tong Qingyun discovered that there was no one who could catch both her and Qin Baobao's eyes.

It was not until Qin Baobao participated in a variety show that Chen Shuren appeared in Tong Qingyun's eyes.

At first, Tong Qingyun didn't care about Chen Shuren at all, thinking that he was just a boy with some tricks to please girls.

It happened that she was seriously ill during that period and was unable to pay attention to Qin Baobao's affairs for a whole year.

After she recovered, she found that the boy who only knew how to pick fruits not only had a good relationship with the baby, but also named a piano piece after the baby.

This method made Tong Qingyun laugh out of anger.

During that time, Tong Qingyun was very disgusted with Chen Shuren, especially when he knew that Chen Shuren had a childhood sweetheart.

If he had not lived for more than seventy years and his mentality had been stable long ago, Chen Shuren might have been banned already. How could he still have the title of a top-tier artist today?

For a long time afterwards, Tong Qingyun observed Chen Shuren.

But Chen Shuren's performance surprised her a little.

After the variety show ended, he didn't continue to pester Qin Baobao, which was something she didn't expect.

Chen Shuren's subsequent series of developments also opened Tong Qingyun's eyes.

Gradually, she became curious about Chen Shuren, a young man who had risen from an ordinary person to become an influential person in a field.

And this curiosity completely turned into goodwill after watching "Dying to Survive" and Hope Pharmaceuticals.

After all, it is difficult even for Qin Cheng to challenge those special medicine companies in Zhongzhou.

At most, it can become a new drug company, but it is impossible to lower the price of new drugs like Chen Shuren did.

So how much Tong Qingyun hated Chen Shuren before, how much he likes Chen Shuren now.

Isn't this kind of person who is talented, capable, responsible, and especially Qin Baobao has a good impression of him what she has been looking for?
Even though Chen Shuren's family background is ordinary and he has no connections.

But Chen Shuren himself is his own background!
Qin Baobao didn't know what Tong Qingyun was thinking, nor did he know that Tong Qingyun had known Chen Shuren for a long time.

At this time, she asked with some anticipation: "Then grandma, can I go to make a movie?"

"Haha, go ahead, grandma has been feeling much better lately!"

"Really?"

Qin Baobao looked happy, but still worried.

"How about asking Grandpa Zhao Liqing to come home and take your pulse tomorrow?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

Tong Qingyun said with a smile.

……

Chen Shuren had no idea what had happened to Qin Baobao who was far away in Liangzhou. At this moment, he was receiving Sun Yat-sen's contemptuous gaze.

"I was wondering why there was a script all of a sudden. It turns out you wrote it just for yourself!"

"I admire you! It takes capable people like you to chase girls!"

"For someone like me, I can only follow the unspoken rules." Sun Wen bowed.

Chen Shuren coughed dryly.

"What are you talking about? I didn't make this movie for Qin Baobao, so don't talk nonsense."

Chen Shuren drank a sip of tea to calm himself.

He didn't know why he said that just now, and now he regretted it.

"Not for Qin Baobao? Then tell me, who are you doing this for?"

"Of course it's a done deal!"

Chen Shuren spoke with great righteousness.

"Don't you see how things have turned out? It's all because of posting a picture."

Sun Yat-sen was confused. What does this have to do with the fact that the matter is already settled?
wrong!

Suddenly, Sun Wen thought of something and quickly opened his mobile phone to search.

"Sure enough! You really already have the script for 'A Chinese Odyssey'!"

Sun Yat-sen pointed to a line of words on the painting that had been published: "That man looks like a dog."

This is clearly the line that appears in the script of A Chinese Odyssey!
In the face of Sun Yat-sen's roar, Chen Shuren nodded.

"It was like that originally, but I just let it go a while ago because it was already a done deal. I wanted to use it as an Easter egg, but who knew it would be criticized."

When Sun Yat-sen heard Chen Shuren say this, he was speechless.

There are so many lines in "A Chinese Odyssey", why can't you pick another one?

But the painting of Sun Wukong's back had the word "a dog" written on it.

If it’s me, I’ll rush too!

"Okay, okay, this explanation is acceptable to you."

Sun Yat-sen waved his hand.

"So next, are you going to audition someone in the group?"

"That's not necessary. I've already told you that it's okay if you can't act. I can teach you."

Seeing Chen Shuren say this, Sun Yat-sen was speechless.

Afterwards, Chen Shuren asked Sun Wen to send the script to those in the group who said they wanted to participate.

After chatting about some miscellaneous things, Chen Shuren went home.

The next day, Chen Shuren went back home again and met his father and mother.

"Hey, Chen Tianran isn't home?"

Chen Shuren asked curiously.

"He, didn't you tell him to go to another state?"

Father Chen asked doubtfully.

"Yizhou? Why is he going to Yizhou?"

Chen Shuren looked shocked.

Seeing this, Chen's father took out his mobile phone and sent a group of photos to Chen Shuren.

The first photo shows Chen Tianran and a man, standing in front of a barbecue stall with their arms around each other and their thumbs up.

The barbecue stall is [Passerby BBQ Stall], and the man is the owner of [Passerby BBQ Stall], Jannik Galan.

The second photo shows Chen Tianran clapping alone in front of a beauty salon called "Daxia Weathervane".

The rest of the photos were of various different places with similar content.

"Chen Tianran said that you asked him to open a hair salon in another state, and then he took the money he earned from the jewelry store with him."

“They say business is good and they have now opened their third store.”

"In addition to beauty salons and hair salons, there is also the roadside barbecue stall, and he also invested in and opened a branch."

Chen Shuren was a little overwhelmed by what his father said.

No, Chen Tianran was clearly disgusted when he left!
Why did you sneak off to open the shop without even telling him?

Besides, there are already so many stores in Yizhou, how can Chen Tianran make money if he goes there?
Chen Shuren felt that something was not right, so he called Chen Tianran directly.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Second brother, I'm in Yangzhou, what's wrong?"

Listening to Chen Tianran's words, Chen Shuren smiled.

"Where is Yangzhou? I'm in Yangzhou now. Let's have dinner together."

"Ah? I'm talking business with a client. I don't have time now."

Chen Tianran's voice was obviously flustered.

"Oh, we're talking about business. OK, when will we finish?"

"Well... because things are quite busy, it will be very late after we finish talking, so let's forget about it today. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chen Shuren suddenly said, "Let Janik Galan answer the phone."

"He just left..."

Chen Tianran was silent for a while, then said: "Brother, do you know?"

Chen Shuren sneered.

"Know? Know what?"

"Haha, I just thought Yizhou was pretty good, so I came here to investigate, and ended up opening a few stores."

Chen Shuren didn't say anything, and Chen Tianran couldn't hold it anymore.

"I just feel that Chen Yiyi is making too much money now. I can't hold my head up in front of her. I told you before that I didn't want to get into medical beauty and hairdressing, so I was embarrassed to tell you this."

Chen Tianran's voice became a little deeper.

Chen Shuren stood up and left his father. After reaching the balcony, he asked, "Did you lose money?"

"……Um."

"How much did you lose?"

"I opened three stores, two of which closed down. Although the barbecue stall didn't close down, the income was not much, so I planned to sell it."

Chen Shuren sighed when he heard this.

He felt something was not right, and this question actually brought up a problem.

Do you really think that people from Daxia can survive by doing anything in other states?

If that were the case, then Yizhou would have been occupied by the Daxia people long ago.

After all, many people prefer money to dignity. If it were really so easy to make money from people from other states, all the stores in other states would be opened by people from Daxia in other states.

Similarly, merchants from other states would not give away their piece of the pie just because Chen Tianran is a pure Daxia person.

"Didn't you contact Luo Lijuan, the manager of Tianyu Yizhou Branch?"

"No, I'm not from Tianyu. Wouldn't it be troublesome for you to contact Manager Luo? If others say that you, Chen Shuren, abused your power for personal gain, how can I still face you?"

Chen Shuren was moved.

After thinking for a while, he told Chen Tianran, "Don't sell the two bankrupt stores yet, and don't sell the barbecue stall either. Wait for my news."

"No, brother. Manager Luo really doesn't need to help! It's just a few million, right? I can afford the loss, but if it affects you, my second brother, then it won't be just a few million. I can tell the difference."

Chen Tianran said hurriedly.

"What are you thinking? Just be obedient. I will never let anyone think that I am abusing my power for personal gain."

Chen Shuren hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Looking at the scenery outside the balcony, he smiled and said, "I said I would release a few songs before, but I haven't done so yet. I'll take this opportunity to go there."

"It's also good for shooting a music video... As for the location, hehe."
