Chapter 64 Dream
No words were spoken that night.
The next day at noon, Yu Qiaoqiao arrived at the company at the agreed time.
Chen Yan took her out for a meal, added "135" to her wealth value, and then drove her to Oriental Movie Metropolis.
On the way, Chen Yan asked casually while driving, "Did you go home yesterday?"
Originally, Chen Yan just wanted to find a point of entry to chat and didn't want to ask about Yu Qiaoqiao's family background.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qiaoqiao said frankly, "I went back to the orphanage last night."
Even though he already knew about Yu Qiaoqiao's situation, Chen Yan was still "surprised" like a textbook example, "Orphanage? Are you..."
Yu Qiaoqiao nodded silently.
She said, "Yes. Actually... I am an orphan."
After saying this, Yu Qiaoqiao lowered her head and waited quietly for Chen Yan's reaction.
Obviously, she is not as calm and composed as she appears to be , but rather she has a lot of inferiority complex about her identity as an "orphan".
What she didn't expect was that Chen Yan didn't seem surprised, discriminate, or even offer any comfort.
He smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I'll have to cling to your thighs."
Yu Qiaoqiao, who didn't react, tilted her head slightly and looked at Chen Yan curiously.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of this? In online novels, the protagonists are usually orphans."
As he spoke, Chen Yan pointed at himself and said in a resentful tone, "People like me who have both parents are just passers-by. They are all stepped on by protagonists like you for showing off."
Yu Qiaoqiao's lips curled up into a faint smile, and she felt her depressed mood dissipate.
She looked at Chen Yan and said, "Then you, won't feel... I... um..."
Before Yu Qiaoqiao could finish, Chen Yan said, "No. That's nothing. To put it bluntly, the family we are born into is not decided by ourselves."
"The only thing we can decide is our future!"
At this point, Chen Yan suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but think of the new feature of the system: career.
Huh?
Should I take this opportunity to ask Boss Qiaoqiao about his future plans?
Thinking of this, he said, "Just like me before. Although my family has more than a dozen houses and millions of savings, that is not the life I want."
Yu Qiaoqiao: ???
As Chen Yan drove, he said, "The life I want is like the one I have now, where I can start a company and make games with a group of like-minded people. I want to make really good games and make Chinese games the best in the world."
At this point, he looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and asked,
"And you?"
"Qiaoqiao. Do you have any dreams?"
Yu Qiaoqiao had just sprained her waist due to Chen Yan's "Versailles". When she heard Chen Yan's question, she came back to her senses.
"Dream...?" She muttered the word, her eyes a little confused.
Do you have a dream?
It seems... not.
As far as I can remember, I was already in an orphanage.
In the orphanage, the director loved me very much, and I was also very sensible and knew how to take care of my younger siblings since I was young.
If I were to talk about a dream, it would probably be the piece of honey I ate during the Chinese New Year that year.
That sweet and greasy taste is really fragrant...
Ever since I ate it that time, every Chinese New Year, I dreamed of eating another piece of honey sambal...
After going to school, the dean’s mother-in-law always told herself that "only by studying can I change my destiny."
So I just want to study hard and live up to the expectations of the dean and her mother-in-law.
Every time I get a certificate of honor, getting first place in my grade is my biggest dream...
Because at that time I could see my mother-in-law, her smile and relief that came from the heart.
After entering university, I had even less time to think about my dreams.
Because I found that I could make money while studying.
By making money, I can improve the lives of the director, her mother-in-law, and her younger brothers and sisters.
So I rush between school and the shop where I work every day and have no time to think about my own affairs.
Now, when I calm down and think about it, I really don’t know what I want to do in the future...
So what do you want?
What do you want to do in the future?
Thinking of this, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but recall what the director said to her yesterday, "This is a transmission of love. I don't hope that you will pass the love back, but pass it out so that more people can be helped..."
"Let more people get help?" Yu Qiaoqiao silently repeated what the director's mother-in-law said...
Chen Yan turned his head and looked at her, "What are you talking about?"
Yu Qiaoqiao came back to her senses and said, "Oh!" twice, "It's okay..."
She said a little embarrassedly, "I was distracted just now."
After that, she said embarrassedly, "But...I don't know what I want to do in the future."
"Maybe we should just take it one step at a time."
Chen Yan glanced at Yu Qiaoqiao. He could see Yu Qiaoqiao's confusion.
It is obvious that this child used to live for others and is just starting to live his own life.
It seems that Boss Qiaoqiao still has a long way to go before he can open the "career" option...
It would be nice if there was a new “cloud elderly care board” to test this function.
Well... I really wasn't complaining that Boss Qiaoqiao was being "cultivated" too slowly, or that I was coveting the mysterious reward, but I wanted to help Boss Qiaoqiao pave the way in advance.
Yes. That's it.
Just when Chen Yan was thinking about it, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
Chen Yan pointed to the Bluetooth headset towards Yu Qiaoqiao.
Yu Qiaoqiao put it on Chen Yan obediently.
Her little hand was a little cold, and when it touched Chen Yan's ear, Chen Yan couldn't help but look at her.
After picking up the phone, the voice of Fat Phoenix rang out from the other end of the line, "Mr. Chen. There is something I want to talk to you about first."
Chen Yan asked as he drove, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Fat Phoenix said, "It's like this. The agencies I found are all well-known in the industry. The actors they selected are all good-looking and have good figures. They are the seedlings of each company."
"Most of them came here because of Lu Man's fame and wanted to take advantage of her popularity."
"So... the attitude may not be so correct. Not so dedicated."
"I'm afraid something weird will happen to them during the filming."
"So, if possible, boss, you'd better use this meeting to shock them and suppress them."
"This way, we can save a lot of trouble when we shoot in the future."
After hearing what Fat Phoenix said, Chen Yan said a little embarrassedly, "What can I do? Beat them up? Or yell at them?"
Fat Phoenix said, "Then I don't care, boss. It's up to you. After all, you are the boss, so you will always find a way."
Chen Yan: …
No. The boss is obviously Qiaoqiao, haven't you figured it out?
…
At the same time, Qindao, Oriental Movie Metropolis. Guanghui Hotel [Red and Hot] private room.
Several young, beautiful girls with good figures and good looks and... a young man came in one after another.
They are several important characters of "The Secret Guardian".
Among them, some are graduates from the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, some are star seeds selected because of their outstanding looks, and some are 18th-tier actors who have played supporting roles in several hit dramas and have gained a certain degree of fame.
Everyone present was very competitive, so even though they were competitors, a few of them still smiled, greeted each other familiarly, and started chatting.
