Started as an independent producer in 1988

Chapter 374 No Regrets
New Year's Day is a good day.

The whole family is reunited.

Chen Shiping stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside.

The New Year atmosphere in Hong Kong is also very strong, but it is still a little inferior to that in Beijing.

"time to eat!"

"coming!"

Guan Zhilin's voice came from behind, and Chen Shiping hurried over.

“Dumplings, good.”

Chen Shiping pinched one and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he said, "Fennel stuffed? Did you make it yourself?"

Guan Zhilin smiled and said, "I can't do that. I'll ask someone to do it."

"I wanted to do it myself, but I didn't have time." Zhang Min also said with a smile.

"No wonder, I said it tastes so good, it doesn't seem like your cooking."

As soon as Chen Shiping finished speaking, he was hit on the shoulders by both of them.

"My arm is broken, so I can't eat dumplings by myself." Chen Shiping swung his arm and said, "You have to be responsible for feeding me!"

Guan Zhilin snorted, picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhang Min was smiling and was about to eat when he saw Chen Shiping opening his mouth and waiting to be fed.

"Want to be jealous?"

"Yes, please give me more."

Zhang Min hummed, dipped it in vinegar, and put it into his mouth.

Chen Shiping was extremely happy eating dumplings.

Life!
Guan Zhilin was eating when he suddenly asked, "I saw you calling just now. Was it from Beijing?"

"No, by the way, I have to go out for a while. I came here for other things this time."

Chen Shiping ate without explaining who called.

Guan Zhilin just said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

She is not your married wife, so what is there to ask?

Besides, the one who got the certificate didn’t ask anything, so why should she care so much?

Chen Shiping was not too willing to talk about his romantic affairs.

He is shameless, but others still have some respect.

She was originally set up as a single heroine, but if people find out she's a mistress, wouldn't that make her look like a mistress? The difference is huge.

Chen Shiping ate dumplings and chatted with Guan Zhilin and the others, but they didn't really open up to each other because they were not children anymore.

After knowing each other for so many years, a simple and ordinary life is the real life.

After dinner, Chen Shiping went to change his clothes.

As Zhang Min was packing his things, he couldn't help but ask Guan Zhilin, "Aren't you curious about what he's going to do?"

"What's there to be curious about? It's not work anyway, just meet any woman."

"Which one?"

"Who else could it be? There are only a few actresses in Hong Kong who have worked with him."

Zhang Min recalled for a while and said: "There are quite a lot, including Qiu Shuzhen, Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia, and Zhou Huimin"

Guan Zhilin rolled his eyes and said, "He is the director himself, so the producer doesn't count."

Zhang Min nodded and said, "Oh, isn't it just Zhou Huimin? And she's a supporting role."

"That's her. Didn't you see that she hasn't been entangled with that idiot from the Ni family in the past few years? She spends half of the year studying painting in the mainland."

Guan Zhilin always had some guesses in his mind, but he never asked Chen Shiping in person.

Zhang Min was a little surprised and said, "It's really her. I thought it was Lin Qingxia."

Guan Zhilin chuckled and said, "Who said there is only one? Do you know how much money the company pays her every month?"

"I don't care, but it does fit his character."

Zhang Min expressed his feelings for a few moments, and then talked about business matters with Guan Zhilin.

"Did you ask for me about the endorsement I told you about last time?"

Zhang Min counted on his fingers and said, "There are now seven or eight chain beauty salons in the mainland. The competition is too fierce. We must come up with something new."

Guan Zhilin said uninterestedly, "I asked, but they didn't want to. Why don't you sell the beauty salon and start making skin care products? You have a supply of raw materials, and you have a big advantage."

Zhang Min sighed and said, "After several years of operation, we finally opened hundreds of stores. I am a little reluctant to let them go."

"Fierce competition means the market is becoming saturated," Guan Zhilin said, leaning against the sink.
"The saturation of the high-end beauty market means that the low-end market is about to rise. The skin care industry will be the most profitable in the future. Not all women can get a 5,000 yuan card at a beauty salon."

"I can't bear to sell it."

"The company was sold, but the employees were kept and the business was switched directly to a cosmetics store. There was no need for training, and it was a seamless transition."

"Good idea! You are better at business than I am. No wonder he asked you to take care of these things."

Guan Zhilin smiled. In fact, he was quite tired in the past few years. However, being tired has its benefits. Now everyone who sees him will call him Mr. Guan.

Marry into a wealthy family?

Come on, don’t you know that the new rich family’s surname is Guan?
Guan Zhilin has invested in many cinema chains and film companies in several Southeast Asian countries.

In addition, he also speculates in stocks and real estate, and he always manages to seize the opportunity. His wealth must be too great.

Some time ago, Chen Shiping asked her to invest in the Internet again.

There will be even more money in the future.

What's more, it is an investment company under Chunyu Investment. No matter its wealth or background, she really doesn't care about ordinary wealthy families.

But so much money seems to be of no use to her.

Chen Shiping can't spend much, and she can't spend it all by herself, and she doesn't have any children yet.

Although the child is Chen Xiulin's godmother, she is just a godmother after all.

Xiulin. Guan Zhilin sighed and wondered why they couldn't have a child named Xiumin.

Let Tao Huimin be the godmother as well.

She didn't want to have children a few years ago, but now she does.

But she didn't know how to tell Chen Shiping.

The key is that Tao Huimin knew what the reaction would be.

Zhang Min saw her in a daze, so he bumped into her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I miss my daughter. I want to go see her after the New Year."

"You really treat her like your own daughter and expect her to take care of you in your old age."

"Not impossible." Guan Zhilin smiled, wiped his hands and said, "Go see why he's not well yet. It takes so long to change his clothes."

Two minutes later, Chen Shiping was packed up and pushed out of the house.

Guan Zhilin closed the door, clapped his hands, turned around and said to Zhang Min: "Done, let's have a drink."

Zhang Min smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go open the wine!"

On the other side, Chen Shiping drove to a villa near Yau Ma Tei.

On the second floor of the villa, Lin Qingxia looked at Chen Shiping downstairs and saw him take out a bouquet of flowers from the car.

So I subconsciously tidied my hair.

Time flies, and she is not young anymore.

But looking at Chen Shiping's appearance, he is just more mature, and seems to be the same young man ten years ago.

He never gets old.

Lin Qingxia has been quite free in recent years. She hasn't made any movies for four years. She just did the narration for a movie last year.

The rest of the time is basically retirement life.

I didn't meet Chen Shiping very often. I went to the mainland twice a year to see my sister and also see him.

As for getting married, she had really thought about it a few years ago. If she couldn't get love, she would just find a rich man to marry.

But who would have thought that Chen Shiping would give her money every year, which discouraged her from marrying a rich man.

Now her life is worry-free and the quality of life is better. The chefs at home are all chefs that Chen Shiping found for her from the mainland.

Knowing that she was picky about food, I hired several chefs for her. Knowing that her expenses were high, I gave her money every month.

This is no happier than being married.

In fact, she regretted meeting Chen Shiping. It would have been better if she had not filmed "Swordsman" back then.

Although I am quite happy now, maybe my life would be different if I hadn't met Chen Shiping.

But it's too late to say this now.

Chen Shiping stood at the door and rang the doorbell for a long time but no one came to open the door. Just as he was about to make a phone call, the door suddenly opened. Lin Qingxia leaned against the door and asked with a smile: "Little handsome boy, it's not good to knock on the door in the middle of the night. People will misunderstand."

Chen Shiping took out the prepared roses from behind and said with a smile: "I want to meet this beautiful lady. Can you give me a chance?"

Lin Qingxia reached out to take the flower, smelled it and said, "Since the flower is so beautiful, it's okay."

Chen Shiping walked in with a smile, put his arm around her waist and wanted to kiss her, but she gently blocked his way with the flowers in her hand.

"Don't be so direct. I just allowed you to come in."

"Then how can I have a kiss?"

"I'm hungry. The chef is on holiday. Make me something to eat."

"I'm afraid you'll kick me out after you finish eating."

"It's okay, just give it a try."

Just give it a try! You won't die anyway.

It's just unpalatable but not poisonous.

Chen Shiping rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered whether to put the eggs or tomatoes in the tomato and egg noodles first.

Lin Qingxia is very particular about food now and likes new dishes. It is quite a painful job to be a cook for her.

Chen Shiping didn't know whether she would kick him out after eating the noodles he made.

Ten minutes later, Lin Qingxia looked at the tomato and egg noodles that Chen Shiping brought over and said after a long pause, "I suddenly want to eat wonton noodles from a restaurant in Causeway Bay. It should still be open now."

"Let's go, let's go. I'm going to drive." Chen Shiping immediately poured out the bowl of noodles he had made.

I can't even bear to look at it, let alone eat it.

Lin Qingxia burst into laughter, stood up and said, "Then wait for me to change clothes."

More than ten minutes later, she came downstairs wearing a red dress and sunglasses.

She turned around in front of Chen Shiping and said, "Does it look good?"

"Beautiful, as beautiful as the first time I saw you." Chen Shiping said with a smile.

Lin Qingxia recalled that the first time they met was nine years ago.

It's been a long time.

Nine years ago, when Chen Shiping and Wong Fei Hung swept Hong Kong, the whole of Hong Kong was paying attention to him.

At that time he was still the young Director Chen, and many people looked down on him.

Now that I think about it, I had a very good vision at that time.

Lin Qingxia took his arm and walked out with a smile on her face. After they got in the car, she suddenly came up to Chen Shiping and asked, "Am I old?"

"How could it be!" Chen Shiping said as he gave her a kiss and laughed, "Finally I got to kiss her."

Lin Qingxia also laughed and hit him a few times, saying that he was unethical and launched a sneak attack.

Chen Shiping looked at her profile and really didn't think she had changed that much. She took good care of herself and hadn't given birth to any children, so how could she age so quickly?

Chen Shiping met the wife of a leader. She was in her fifties, but her skin was better than that of a girl in her twenties.

It’s not easy for people who live a life of luxury to age, unless you give birth to children frequently.

Lin Qingxia turned her head and looked at him and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"You're good-looking, but you're not letting me see you." Chen Shiping snorted and said, "Sit tight and fasten your seat belts. I'll take you racing!"

Lin Qingxia said to be safer, but she was not slow at all in fastening her seat belt, and she even looked a little expectant.

It feels like going back to the crazy days of my youth.

Chen Shiping lowered the car window, whistled, held the steering wheel with one hand, and stepped on the accelerator.

Lin Qingxia was holding onto her seat belt nervously and expectantly, when she saw him suddenly turn his head and ask, "Where is Causeway Bay?"

Lin Qingxia: ". "You drove so coolly! It made me excited.

"No matter what, drive wherever it takes us!"

Chen Shiping laughed loudly, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out!

Lin Qingxia screamed in fright.

"Slow down! Causeway Bay is not in this direction, we have to cross the sea!"

"I can't slow down! Haha!"

Lin Qingxia watched him laugh wildly, and slowly relaxed and laughed along with him.

It really doesn't seem to matter where you go.

Twenty minutes later, two people were standing in front of a beef balls stall, one holding a bowl of beef balls and eating happily.

"Hey, I have a fish ball here."

As soon as Chen Shiping finished speaking, Lin Qingxia came over and said, "Give it to me, I want to eat fish balls."

"Open your mouth." Chen Shiping picked up the fish ball and put it into her mouth.

Lin Qingxia bit it in her mouth and smiled like a little kid.

Chen Shiping took the last beef ball from her bowl while she was not paying attention.

"Don't steal mine!"

"Mine isn't enough, and yours tastes better."

"No, give it back to me!"

"No!"

The beef ball stall owner looked at them as if they were fools.

He drove a Mercedes to a roadside stall and grabbed food. He would die if he ordered one more portion.

Chen Shiping avoided Lin Qingxia, opened the car door and got in.

"Eat well, let's go home!"

Lin Qingxia stamped her feet in anger and snorted before getting into the car.

"I don't want to go home, let's go racing!"

"Okay, I'm the car king of Causeway Bay!"

“This is Kowloon.”

"That's the Kowloon Chariot God!"

Chen Shiping doesn't care where this is, as it doesn't stop him from being a driving god.

After driving for a while, Chen Shiping looked at the Hung Hom Tunnel and fell into deep thought, wondering if he would reach Causeway Bay after crossing the sea.

When they arrived in Causeway Bay, the two of them went to eat wonton noodles.

There was no fighting this time, and neither of them finished the food.

After eating the noodles, Chen Shiping drove back.

Lin Qingxia was also tired from playing by now, so she leaned back in her seat and watched him drive.

"I haven't been this happy in a long time."

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "You'll definitely be happy with me here."

"But you're not always here." Lin Qingxia sighed.

Chen Shiping smiled and said, "When I'm done with my work next year, I'll have some free time and I'll come here often."

Lin Qingxia doesn't worry about this, she has gotten used to it over the years.

When she was almost home, Lin Qingxia looked at the convenience store that was still open and thought of something. After calculating the days, she kept her words to herself.

It doesn’t matter if there is no umbrella, happiness is the most important thing.

If I win the prize, I will just hide back in Taiwan. He can’t control me anyway!
Chen Shiping asked while driving: "What were you watching just now? Are you hungry again?"

"No, I just want to go home quickly."

"We'll be there soon." Chen Shiping stepped on the accelerator again.

A few minutes later, they arrived home. After entering, they hugged each other without saying anything.

More than half an hour later, Chen Shiping looked at Lin Qingxia who was lying on the bed and didn't want to move. He didn't urge her to take a shower, nor did he ask why she slept with her legs crossed on him.

Chen Shiping lay there, planning where to go for fun in the next few days.

We won’t be in Hong Kong for long this time, so the important thing is to have fun.

It’s not where you go, it’s who you go with that matters.

I have been busy with work in recent years and have neglected many people.

Now that you have a solid foundation in your career, take it slow and enjoy yourself.

Don't leave any regrets for yourself, and don't leave any regrets for these beauties.
