Zhang Yansheng unlocked his phone and saw a message from Xu Lichen.
"I finished all my winter break homework!!!"
Not only did he take a picture of all his homework on the table, but he also sent a "hands on waist.jpg."
Zhang Yansheng turned off his phone and looked up.
"I finished all my winter break homework!!!"
Zhang Shuocheng put his hands on his hips and puffed out his belly proudly.
School was about to start, so Zhang Huan and Zhang Yu brought the children to visit Old Mrs. Han. When Old Mrs. Han asked Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng if they had finished their winter break homework, before Zhang Heling could answer, Zhang Shuocheng rushed to show off to Old Mrs. Han.
Everyone laughed loudly.
Zhang Heling also quickly said, "I finished it a long time ago. Shuoshuo only finished it yesterday. "
Zhang Shuocheng put his hands on his hips. "Then I finished it on time too!"
"Good, good, good. It's good that you finished it." Old Mrs. Han smiled and said, "But think about it, if you can be like your sister and finish it early, you can play to your heart's content later."
After asking the elementary school students, she asked the high school students, "How are Xiao Lin and Yanyan?"
Zhang Lin, Zhang Yansheng's cousin, went to a private school. He said, "We didn't have much homework during the winter break, but we did have a few practical activities."
When it was Zhang Yansheng's turn, she simply said, "I finished it all."
Compared to Zhang Lin's vivid description, Zhang Yansheng's words were concise and comprehensive. Zhang Huan glanced at her from the corner of his eye, annoyed that she didn't know how to curry favor with Old Mrs. Han. Zhang Yansheng was well aware, but she ignored him.
Zhang Yansheng was studying in the elite preparatory class of a key city high school, so Old Mrs. Han knew how much homework she had. Old Mrs. Han also knew what she had done during the winter break.
She only smiled and nodded.
Finally, she asked the only college student in the family.
Before Zhang Qi could say anything, Eldest Aunt had already laughed and said, "Qi Qi has been busy with a project recently. I'm a little worried that it will affect her studies, so I want her to quickly finish this matter."
"It won't," Zhang Qi said. "I told you, it won't affect my studies. The school curriculum is quite easy for me. "
Old Madam Yang naturally had to ask, "What project?"
Great Aunt said reservedly, "She has her eyes on a TV drama project and plans to invest money in it."
Hearing this, Zhang Yansheng looked up at Zhang Huan. Zhang Huan also looked at her with bright eyes. The father and daughter's eyes met, and they both looked at the old lady.
The old lady's smile remained unchanged. "What TV series?"
Zhang Yu felt a little helpless, but he couldn't stop his wife and daughter.
His wife was a rich young lady who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her whole life had been smooth sailing. The only setback was after she married him. She was outshone by her sisters-in-law and did not gain the favor of the old lady.
He felt that this was a small matter. They didn't live with the old lady, and they only saw her once a month. There was no need to worry about it.
However, his wife was still brooding over it and couldn't let it go.
After his sisters-in-law passed away, his niece, Zhang Yansheng, lived with her stepmother. In recent years, she gradually became irritable and extreme. It wasn't easy for his wife to gradually let go of the past, but his niece suddenly seemed to be enlightened. She regained her youthful spirituality and always outshone Qi Qi in front of the old lady.
His wife immediately exploded.
She scolded her daughter fiercely at home. She scolded her until she couldn't raise her head and tears flowed down her face.
Later, she insisted that he bring his daughter to invest. He must not be outshone by his niece.
No one could stop her when she decided to do as she pleased. Zhang Yu had no choice but to compromise. He found a few projects for Zhang Qi and brought her along to pick and analyze them. Actually, this TV drama project wasn't his favorite, but since Zhang Yansheng was investing in a movie, his daughter also wanted to invest in a movie project.
The project seemed to be more stable, so Zhang Yu agreed.
However, Zhang Yu understood that no matter how his wife talked about Zhang Qi in front of the old lady, the old lady would definitely understand what was going on.
In front of his second brother and niece, he couldn't help but feel awkward, so he could only turn his face away.
When the old lady asked, his aunt smiled and looked at her daughter. Zhang Qi leaned forward and explained to the old lady in detail.
"The original novel is very famous. The author has millions of fans on Weibo.
"The main actors all have their own popularity."
… …
The old lady listened with a smile. Finally, she nodded and asked Zhang Yu, "How much do you plan to invest?"
Zhang Yu glanced at his wife, who raised her eyebrows at him forcefully. Zhang Yu had no choice but to say, "I plan to give Qi Qi 20 million to test the waters."
The old lady nodded, "Okay, even if you lose money, it won't hurt you."
Both Eldest Aunt and Zhang Qi looked at her expectantly. The Old Madam was as calm as Mount Tai as she smiled and said, "Since this is Qi Qi's first investment, how about this? Grandma will support you with another five million."
Zhang Qi was still young, and Eldest Aunt was a young lady who was full of emotions. Neither of them could maintain a smile on their faces.
The old lady had given Zhang Yansheng 20 million!
Zhang Yu said loudly, "Qi Qi, why aren't you thanking Grandma?"
The mother and daughter seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly squeezed out a smile to thank her.
The old lady smiled faintly.
On the way home, Zhang Huan said to Liang Yingying and Zhang Yansheng, who were about to get into the car, "You sit in the back. Yanyan, sit in the front. Let's talk. "
Liang Yingying was a little confused. Wasn't it always the wife who sat in the front and the children squeezed in the back together?
Zhang Yansheng directly opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. Liang Yingying was slow to react and was the last to get into the car. He sat behind Zhang Yansheng unhappily.
Zhang Huan was in a good mood as he drove. He clicked his tongue and said to Zhang Yansheng, "Your aunt, oh, your aunt …"
Zhang Yansheng rolled his eyes, "You're just short of humming a little tune."
Zhang Huan snorted, "So what if I hummed?"
Zhang Yansheng said, "You look completely like a villain who's intoxicated by success. So ugly."
"What do you know!" Zhang Huan was unhappy, "Let me tell you, you're young and don't remember. Your aunt used to love to step on your mother. Your mother was better than her in every way except for her family background. She just doesn't like your mother no matter what. She always wants to be with your mother. But every time, she couldn't be with her! "
At that time, Zhang Huan was happy both at home and outside. He was also in harmony with his wife and was in a state of being proud of life.
But ever since his wife fell sick, he wasn't as happy.
"Let me tell you, your Big Aunt must have panicked when she found out that your grandmother gave you 20 million RMB. Hehe, hehe. "Zhang Huan laughed. Just like Zhang Yansheng had described, he looked like a villain intoxicated by success.
Liang Yingying, who was sitting in the back, shouted, "20 million?!"
Her shout was directed at Zhang Huan. Her voice was sharp and shrill. Her sudden shout scared Zhang Huan so much that the steering wheel in his hands slipped.
"What are you shouting for!" Zhang Huan scolded her through the rearview mirror, "You scared me!"
Liang Yingying was dumbfounded for a moment and asked carefully, "That, Hubby, what's up with the 20 million?"
Zhang Huan was still in shock and his heart was still beating. He said unhappily, "Yanyan made an investment. I gave her 10 million and Mom gave her 20 million."
Liang Yingying felt like her heart was about to explode.
It wasn't just 20 million! It was 30 million!
"Yanyan is still a child. Giving her so much money …" Liang Yingying used all her strength to control her expression and tone, "Is it appropriate?"
Zhang Huan only said, "It's none of your business," and ignored her.
Liang Yingying felt like her temples were throbbing and her blood vessels were about to burst.
Her monthly spending limit was 200 thousand. This was the treatment she received after becoming an official employee. Before becoming an official employee, when she was just Zhang Huan's mistress, Zhang Huan gave her a monthly allowance of 50 thousand.
After entering the Zhang family, her allowance was quadrupled. She had an open identity, lived in a big mansion, and had a luxury car chauffeur. Liang Yingying really felt like she had reached the heavens in one step.
Other than the annoying burden left behind by Zhang Huan's ex-wife, she really had nothing to complain about. Really.
Just now, at Old Madam's place, she heard Zhang Yu and his wife say that they would invest 20 million for Zhang Qi. In her heart, this was all a show for Old Madam. Zhang Qi was still a student. Why would he invest? To put it bluntly, it was all because of Zhang Yu.
When Old Madam said that she would support 5 million, Liang Yingying sneered in her heart. Fine, now she understood. Uncle and his wife wanted to get money from Old Madam.
What investment? She didn't take it seriously at all.
But suddenly, Zhang Huan told her that he would invest 30 million for Zhang Yansheng?
30 million! That was her allowance as Mrs. Zhang for more than ten years! He actually gave it to a child like Zhang Yansheng so casually?
Zhang Qi was still a university student! She was still the eldest granddaughter! What was she, Zhang Yansheng? She was just a little child!
Liang Yingying felt like her head was exploding. She wanted to strangle Zhang Huan and shout at him: That money belongs to Zhang Shuocheng! How could he give it to Zhang Yansheng!
But her rationality told her that she couldn't do that!
Thus, her emotions and rationality clashed in her head. Her chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, and she couldn't breathe. She even saw Zhang Huan's shadow in front of her. She heard Zhang Yansheng's voice ask faintly, "How … did … you … invest … in … dramas?"
Zhang Yansheng ignored Liang Yingying and asked Zhang Huan, "How was the return on the TV dramas you invested in in the past?"
Zhang Huan snorted and said, "It was just so-so. I didn't make a lot of money, nor did I lose money. It wasn't that interesting. "
"Sister Xiao Mo told me that because Director Xie's movie was a blank space in the domestic film industry, no one dared to invest in it. That's why they went for external financing." Zhang Yansheng said, "She said that if it was a normal film and television series that was guaranteed to make money, the industry would have digested it and wouldn't lack funds. Thus, those that were released for financing usually had some kind of problem. "
"She was right. I only understood it later." Zhang Huan said, "Investing in a different industry has this kind of risk. It's not a field you understand, so you don't understand and can be easily fooled by others. Your Uncle Liu previously got someone to swindle 80 million, but it all went down the drain. "
Zhang Yansheng asked, "Then do you think Sister Qiqi's project can make money?"
Zhang Huan said, "How would I know? I haven't done any research. Just based on what she said, what conclusion can I draw? "
Zhang Yansheng knew about the few popular young hunks that Zhang Qi mentioned. She even vaguely remembered the name of the drama. However, Zhang Yansheng couldn't remember what the drama was like. She hadn't watched this drama back then because she wasn't interested in the theme.
"Let me ask Sister Xiao Mo." She suddenly remembered.
She immediately called Mo Lin. "Sister Xiao Mo, do you know about this project?"
What a coincidence. Mo Lin really knew.
"I don't think much of this drama," Mo Lin said. "If you have other choices, I don't recommend you invest in this."
