Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1266 Zhao Family Seals

Wei Hong, Tan Zongming, and A Bao returned to Shanghai after 9 p.m. The next day, Xu Banxia received the funds from Tan Zongming and A Bao.

"Mr. Tan, the money has arrived. I will go to the Black Sea as soon as possible after I have dealt with the matter in Binzhou, and try to transport the steel back within two months." Xu Banxia said excitedly, holding the phone.

"No rush, steel prices haven't rebounded yet. Just focus on handling things over there. And be extra careful when you go to the Black Sea! After all, our group's fortune depends on you!" Tan Zongming said with a smile.

"Hehe, don't worry, Mr. Tan, I'll be extra careful. I still want to become a millionaire, but I'm so sorry for my life!" Xu Banxia said.

Regardless of what Xu Banxia and Tan Zongming did, Wei Hong fulfilled her promise and resumed her life of going back and forth between home and work.

However, this leisurely life didn't last long, as a phone call from Beiping summoned her back to Beiping.

"Big sister, you're back!" As soon as Wei Hong entered the old courtyard house in Beiping, she saw Wei Yu standing there.

"Wei Yu, why are you home? Aren't you out filming?" Wei Hong asked curiously.

"Big sister, I'm completely unemployed right now, I have no acting jobs!" Wei Yu said with a helpless expression.

"Why? Your acting skills are not bad, how come you have no roles to play?" Wei Hong asked, puzzled.

"It's mainly because of my position! You know, I'm now the secretary-general of the Film Association, right? I can't make regular movies, I can't play villains, and even the good guys need to fit the image of being great and righteous! So now I'm just a nobody!" Wei Yu said with a wronged expression.

“Whose fault is this? When you joined the association, your sister-in-law and I told you not to get involved with them so easily, but you didn’t listen! What’s the use of regretting it now?” Wei Hong said.

"That's why I wanted to ask you for a solution, I'm just so bored!" Wei Yu said with a fawning smile.

"I'm busy. My dad needed to talk to me when I came back this time. You'll have to handle your own matter. But what about your girlfriend? I didn't see you bring her back." Wei Hong asked.

"Don't even mention it. She's incredibly busy right now, experiencing both pain and joy. Every day is filled with all sorts of company matters, and her sisters-in-law have even assigned her two assistants. We hardly ever see her!" Wei Yu said with a wry smile.

"Then find something to do yourself, okay? You can't expect your family to arrange things for you at your age, can you? Even if they do arrange something for you, what? Do you want to join the army?" Wei Hong said helplessly, looking at Wei Yu's fawning face.

"Big sister, what do you think about me investing in a military-themed TV series? I happen to have a great idea!" Wei Yu said.

“If you have an idea, just do it! If you need money, just ask your wife! The only money-making project in our family right now is the clothing business run by her sisters-in-law, which is an absolute cash cow!” Wei Hong said with a smile.

"Sigh, okay, I'll think about it. But after I've thought it through, you have to help me see if it's any good, right? I've been feeling a bit discouraged lately!" Wei Yu said.

"Alright, I'm going to find Dad now. Do you want to come with me?" Wei Hong finally agreed to Wei Yu's request amidst his expectant gaze.

"I'm not going. I'm sure I'll get scolded if I go. I'm not stupid!" Wei Yu said, shrinking back. After saying that, he took Wei Hong's luggage and delivered it to her room, then turned and ran away.

Wei Hong shrugged as she watched Wei Yu flee, then walked straight toward Zhao Cheng's study.

"Dad, I'm back!" Wei Hong shouted loudly towards the study before even entering the door.

"Oh my, let me see who this is? Oh my, it seems that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family has finally decided to come home? That's really something!" Pingping stood at the door of the living room with her arms crossed, teasing Wei Hong as she walked in.

"Oh my goodness! What are you doing now? I just got back and you're already criticizing me?" When Wei Hong saw her mother's appearance, she knew that she had been upset somewhere again, so she quickly went over to help Pingping and coaxed her into the house.

"Wei Hong, don't pay attention to your mother. She's going through menopause and now she's annoyed with everyone. Yesterday she even scolded Zhiwen and Zhiwu over a meal!" Tian Dan said to Wei Hong with a smile as she came out of the house.

"Second Aunt, is it true? My mom would actually scold her precious grandson? He's the eldest grandson of the first branch of the family! The future heir of the Zhao family!" As soon as Wei Hong saw Tian Dan, she immediately threw her mother aside and ran over to help Tian Dan. She didn't look like Vice President Zhao at all, who dared to scold even the hospital's top director.

"You little ingrate, I've spoiled you for nothing! You don't even care about your mother!" Pingping couldn't help but laugh and scold Wei Hong when she saw his sycophantic behavior.

"Ping-jie, that's enough! The child just got back, and you're already criticizing her! Wei Hong hasn't even had a sip of water since she was admitted to the hospital!" Xiuzhi walked over with a thermos, complaining to Ping-ping as she went.

"You're all ganging up on me!" Pingping saw that no one was on her side, so she immediately sat down in a chair and sulked.

"Oh, Sister Ping, I'm not on their side. I'm firmly on your side!" Ye Juan said with a smile as she walked over and put her arm around Pingping's shoulder.

"Oh dear, in the end, it's still the third brother who's on our side!" Pingping said with a smile.

"No way!" Tian Dan and Xiu Zhi shushed them in annoyance.

"Moms, do you know why my dad called me back? Why can't we talk on the phone? Why do he have to make me come all the way back?" Wei Hong asked curiously.

“We really don’t know. Go to the study and ask your dad yourself! I really don’t know!” Tian Dan said seriously when she heard Wei Hong’s words.

"Okay, then I'll go find my dad myself! Mom, I want to eat the dumplings you made for me, can you make them for me?" Wei Hong turned to Pingping and said.

"I must have owed you something in my past life!" Pingping heard that Wei Hong wanted to eat dumplings, so she had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen to make dumplings. Although she was doing it, she couldn't stop talking about them.

However, her appearance made Tian Dan and the others laugh non-stop. This Pingping, she's already this age, but she's still like a child. She's been spoiled by Zhao Cheng!

At this moment, Wei Hong had already arrived at the study. Without knocking, she simply called out "Dad" and went in.

"Your eldest daughter is back? You must have been worried all the way here!" Zhao Cheng looked at his eldest daughter, who was already forty-six years old, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, Dad, how could I not be in a hurry? You know, what can't you say on the phone? Besides, I have a ton of things to do!" Wei Hong grabbed Zhao Cheng's arm and shook it incessantly, protesting her innocence.

"Alright, enough of that nonsense. I called you back this time because of Zhiwen and Zhiwu!" Zhao Cheng said with a helpless expression.
