Chapter 522 Big BOSS!
"Then...why don't you come back to the capital with me?"
Li Yan turned her head and carefully examined her husband's face, trying to discern the truth from his expression:
"Are you being sincere, or are you just saying this to make me happy?"
Why would I comfort you?
Zhong Yuemin said calmly, "Go back if you want. Don't worry, everything is arranged properly, we won't run into each other."
Li Yan looked at him for a long time, and finally gently shook her head:
"Forget it. I've lived in Hong Kong for so many years, I'm used to it. The north is too dry, and the winters are bitterly cold. Besides, if I leave, I'll leave Qinling all alone here... She'll be lonely too."
If you really care about that, just take some time to come back and see us, mother and child. I'll be content.
The two were talking in hushed tones when Xiao Ning, unbeknownst to them, secretly slipped into the photography studio.
The little guy knew the way well and immediately nestled into Qinling's arms, who was filming, raising his little hands high as if presenting a treasure:
"Auntie, look, this is the new toy Uncle bought for me!"
The filming was going smoothly, but this little rascal ruined everything, so we had to stop filming.
The director stood aside, not daring to show the slightest displeasure. He knew very well about this young master's background; it was rumored that he was the biological son of that mysterious big boss.
This entire television station belongs to someone else. Even if this little brat demolishes the studio, he still has to smile and say, "Good job."
Seeing this, Qin Ling's face immediately broke into a gentle smile. She tenderly took the child onto her lap and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh my, our Xiao Ning has a new baby? It's so beautiful."
She then looked up at the director and said:
"Director Liu, let's take a break and have some water. We'll continue later."
Director Liu naturally agreed; she was both an actress and a boss, so he had to listen to her. He nodded.
After saying that, she picked up her child, got up, and left the photo studio, asking softly as she walked:
"Xiao Ning, which uncle bought this for you? Did your mom buy it?"
At this moment, Zhong Yuemin and Li Yan also came over. Li Yan gently patted her son's exposed bottom and scolded him:
"You're causing trouble again! How many times have I told you? You can't go in during filming. If you do it again, I'm really going to spank you!"
The little guy, emboldened, raised his head and declared confidently, "I'm showing my toys to my auntie!"
Qin Ling's gaze, however, had already fallen on Zhong Yuemin. Her expression remained quite calm as she asked only one question:
"How did you come?"
"What, you're not welcome?"
Zhong Yuemin took a few steps closer, looked her up and down, and frowned slightly.
"You look much thinner. Why are you working so hard? We're not short of money. If you don't want to work, then don't. You need to take good care of yourself like Sister Yan and get a bit more plump."
Li Yan gently punched his arm:
"What? You think I'm fat now?"
As she spoke, she reached out and took her son, who was already yawning and drooping his eyelids, from Qinling's arms. Children's energy comes and goes quickly; they can fall asleep anytime they want.
"You two talk, I'll take the child upstairs to my office to sleep for a while."
After saying that, she took the child and left first, letting the two of them catch up.
After Li Yan had walked away, Qin Ling looked at Zhong Yuemin again, his tone becoming more gentle:
"When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived this morning."
Zhong Yuemin answered directly, "I went to the villa first, had an in-depth conversation with Sister Yan, took a nap, went shopping in the afternoon, and then came here."
Qin Ling rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"You really are... Who asked you these questions?" She paused, then chided softly.
"How old are you? Still so irresponsible."
Zhong Yuemin leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and his warm breath brushed against her earlobe:
"There's something even more outrageous... Let's have a good 'exchange' tonight, together with Sister Yan..."
Two blushes rose on Qin Ling's face. She gave him a playful shove, but couldn't help but smile slightly.
"You two go talk to each other!"
The two chatted for another half hour or so, when Director Liu cautiously approached, a smile plastered on his face.
"Miss Qin, what do you think... should we continue filming now? There's just a little bit of finishing touches left."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but steal glances at Zhong Yuemin, secretly trying to figure out the stranger's identity. He'd seen Miss Qin chatting and laughing with him earlier, their manner suggesting familiarity and even intimacy, and President Li had also seemed to treat him differently.
Who could be so special as to earn such treatment from these two "bosses"?
Could he be a young master from some wealthy and powerful family?
Just as he was pondering this, a joyful and loud voice suddenly came from afar:
"Oh my! Mr. Chung! When did you grace Hong Kong Island with your presence? It's such a rare opportunity to meet you!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who came was none other than Raymond Chow, a well-known figure in the Hong Kong film industry and the founder of Golden Harvest.
Zou Wenhuai strode forward, grasped Zhong Yuemin's hands tightly, his enthusiasm overflowing, even revealing a hint of barely concealed excitement:
"President Zhong! It's been so long, so long!"
Director Liu, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
He naturally recognized Director Zou and knew the film mogul's usual temperament and demeanor. He had never seen him so attentive to anyone, even... with a hint of cautious flattery.
Intrigued, he couldn't help but whisper, "Mr. Zou, who...who is this gentleman?"
Zou Wenhuai was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at Director Liu, then at Zhong Yuemin and Qin Ling, and thought to himself, "You just met, and you don't even know each other yet?"
He first nodded to Qin Ling, "Miss Qin." Then he turned to Director Liu, his tone somewhat solemn:
"Director Liu, you don't recognize this Mr. Zhong? Our TV station, Golden Harvest Pictures, record company, the entire Yue Long Group... those are all Mr. Zhong's businesses!"
Director Liu was instantly struck dumb, his mouth agape in astonishment, wide enough to fit a duck egg.
So... so this is the legendary big boss! No wonder Miss Qin, President Li, and even Director Zou acted this way!
He hurriedly wiped non-existent sweat from his palms on his trousers, bent down deeply, and offered both hands to Zhong Yuemin for a handshake, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice.
"Mr. Zhong, it's an honor to have you here. I was so blind to your greatness and have been so negligent. I hope you can forgive me..."
Zhong Yuemin shook hands with him briefly, his attitude calm and he didn't say much. Then he said gently to Qin Ling:
"Go ahead and finish filming the rest. We'll go back together later."
Qin Ling nodded, gestured to Zou Wenhuai, and then turned and walked gracefully back to the studio. Director Liu hurriedly followed him in, directing the preparations to resume filming. His attitude was much more cautious and respectful than before. After all, with the big boss present, there was no room for error, and it was also a good opportunity to show his skills.
