Chapter 128 Buying a House, Celebrating the New Year

Without letting Liu Yifei wait any longer, more than half an hour later, Gu Wei put down the pen in his hand and stopped.

Standing up and stretching, Gu Wei smiled when he saw the young lady reading quietly.

"I'm done."

Liu Yifei looked up and saw Gu Wei staring at her and asked.

"Well, let's go."

After putting the books in their hands back on the bookshelf, Liu Yifei and Gu Wei left the company.

Eating, watching movies, shopping, Gu Wei had a rare moment of leisure and spent a good half day with his little sister.

...

Wang Chen was very efficient and within two days, he found a suitable house through an agent.

Gu Wei was wearing a black down jacket and a mask. He was accompanied by a company employee. In front of them was a beautiful salesperson in a professional suit.

"Sir, this is the group's villa area. It was just delivered this year. They are all single-family villas, and the distance between each building is more than 50 meters."

The beautiful saleswoman was very skilled in the business and explained in detail. Gu Wei stood at the door of the villa, looked around and nodded slightly. The house in front of him had a separate garage, garden, lawn and a complete range of leisure facilities.

“The location is really good and the privacy is great.”

"Sir, let's go in and take a look at the interior."

The salesperson made a gesture and led Gu Wei into the villa.

"The villa covers a total area of ​​nearly four acres, with gardens in front and back, a basement and three floors above ground, totaling 750 square meters. It has been fully renovated and is ready for occupancy.

The style is a bit Western, and the materials used are of the highest quality.”

The female salesperson talked eloquently and introduced things non-stop, looking at Gu Wei from time to time, secretly guessing his identity. Since he could afford such a big villa, he must be either rich or noble.

Gu Wei followed her and took a look inside. The study, bedroom, gym, and home appliances and furniture were all fully equipped and divided reasonably.

"It's good. Let's take it."

Gu Wei spoke up and decided immediately.

The saleswoman's face instantly lit up with joy. She had worked in the company for several years, but had not handled many villas and sold only a few a year. Seeing the customer in front of her make the decision, she couldn't help but feel secretly excited.

"Okay, sir, we need to go back to the company to handle the formalities. This way please..."

After signing, swiping the card and paying the money, things went smoothly and the real estate company will be responsible for the subsequent procedures.

.........

China Film Group spends a lot of money on supporting directors every year. However, there are so many directors in the country that the funds are limited after being allocated to each person. In addition, most domestic directors like to make art films, resulting in a situation where there are more people than resources.

After returning to China, Gu Wei invested in a movie and a TV series successively, and his reputation in the circle spread. Many directors asked for his contact information through other people, hoping to obtain investment funds for their movies.

"Hello, Director Gu, I am..."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei rubbed his forehead. This was the second time he received a call from a director in the circle today. They all had the same purpose: they hoped he would invest some money.

After thinking for a while, Gu Wei asked his assistant to call Wang Chen.

"Boss, you're looking for me."

As the end of the year approaches, the company has a lot of things to do, including various box office sharing and investment contracts that need to be dealt with.

"Please make an announcement stating that Xingchen Films can consider investing in other directors' films, but the scripts must be sent to the company first and only after they are reviewed and approved can a decision be made."

"A director called you."

Wang Chen has also received many calls inquiring about investment recently, so he asked this question specifically.

"Well, I received quite a few calls. Every time they came up, they boasted about their scripts and hoped that the company would invest in them."

"I understand. I'll arrange for my staff to do it right away."

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he left the office.

At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang. Gu Wei picked it up and saw that it was a call from Xie Xiaojing, the director of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

"What do you want from me at this time?"

Gu Wei was a little confused. Beijing Film Academy was already on winter vacation, so it shouldn't be a school matter.

After a pause, he pressed the connect button.

"Director, it's rare to receive your call. Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Wei asked cheerfully.

"Haha, I can't call you if nothing happens."

The two exchanged a few words.

The other party started talking about business.

"It's like this, another teacher in the school asked me to ask you to invest in a movie."

After Xie Xiaojing finished speaking, Gu Wei also understood that they were all there to solicit investment.

"Director, if it's a good script, there will definitely be no problem with investment."

What this means is that he should read the script first before making a decision. The school cannot force him to invest just because he graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. No one's money comes from the wind.

"Haha, OK, I'll ask them to send the notebook to your company first. If you think it's good, we can talk about the follow-up."

"No problem. If it's really suitable, I will definitely invest money."

Gu Wei made a promise.

...

After finishing this matter, Gu Wei stayed at home and spent a few days with his parents.

Lao Zhao has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for 1990 consecutive years since his first appearance in 17. This year, he partnered with Song Dandan and Niu Qun to present the sketch "Planning".

Through the form of "irony", it presents to the audience topics that everyone was very concerned about at the time, such as hype, false propaganda, celebrities acting like big shots, exaggerated performances, etc., and its exposure of strange phenomena in the entertainment industry is simply incisive.

It made everyone laugh and prompted reflection.

The performances of Lao Zhao and Song Dandan are as good as ever, especially Song Dandan's performance, which is so lifelike.

The phrase "egg-laying rooster, a fighter among roosters, oh yeah!" quickly became a popular phrase. It was awarded the first prize for the most popular language program in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that year, and it was well deserved.

In the eyes of relatives and friends, Gu Wei has become a hot commodity. As a big director with a net worth of over 100 million, many people came to visit him after the New Year to pay New Year's greetings and establish relationships with him. Most of them were relatives he had never met. It was the first time he discovered that his family had so many relatives.

Many people introduced him to girls for blind dates, but Gu Wei rejected them all.

"You are not young anymore, you can consider dating someone. Your mother is still waiting to have a grandchild."

After the New Year, Dad Gu and Gu Wei, who had some free time, were drinking tea at home and talking about this.

"I heard from others that your circle is a bit messy, so you better not make any mistakes."

Mr. Gu spoke earnestly, saying that he had worked in a government agency for many years and still held traditional and conservative views on relationships between men and women.

"Dad, don't worry. When the time is right, I will bring him back to meet you and mom."

Gu Wei was a little helpless. His parents were very selective and would educate him from time to time.

"Is it the girl named Liu?"

Mother Gu walked out of the kitchen. Ever since Gu Wei entered the entertainment industry, she had also paid attention to this aspect and had read some news and gossip on the Internet.

"The girl with the surname Liu?"

Dad Gu basically didn't pay attention to these things and was a little slow to react.

"She's the one you praised for her beauty. She's acted in a lot of TV series."

Speaking of this, the two of them became excited and started discussing, first talking about appearance, then age, and from time to time they looked at Gu Wei and laughed out loud.

Gu Wei's scalp tingled when he was looked at by the two elders. After saying something, he went straight back to the bedroom.

"Senior, are you free tomorrow? Mom asked me to ask you to come over for dinner."

Lying on the soft bed, Gu Wei saw the text message sent by Liu Yifei.

After seeing the message from Liu Yifei, Gu Wei thought about it and called her.

On the other side, after seeing Gu Wei's call, Liu Yifei glanced at Liu Xiaoli who was sitting next to her watching TV, and slowly slipped out.

"I told my parents about us."

Liu Yifei, who had just answered the phone, heard these words.

"what."

Although Liu Yifei is usually very lively, she is still a little girl after all. She was a little panicked when she heard these words.

"I just mentioned it casually, but didn't go into details, and my parents didn't ask me about it in detail."

"Then should I go meet my uncle and aunt?"

"Let's wait for a while. When I'm done with the movie, I'll take you to meet my parents."

"Well, I'll prepare what uncle and aunt like in advance..."

On the phone, Liu Yifei and her young wife were like meeting their parents-in-law. They kept asking Gu Wei about his parents' preferences and asked from time to time if there was anything they should pay attention to.

Listening to Liu Yifei talking non-stop, Gu Wei felt that the young lady was a little cute at this moment.

"Don't prepare anything special. My dad likes you very much. He watched the TV series you starred in and said that you are handsome."

"really?"

A surprised voice came from the other end.

"Ah."

After receiving Gu Wei's affirmative answer, Liu Yifei's nervousness dissipated a lot.

Then the two talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.

After washing up, Gu Wei prepared to rest early as he had important work to do tomorrow.

...

The next day, Gu Wei got up early and drove out from home.

The car is the latest model of Mercedes-Benz. After I bought the house last time, I also solved the problem of the car. Now I have a means of transportation, which makes my daily travel convenient.

Gu Wei's house is a bit far from Liu Yifei's villa, and it is Chinese New Year, so there are many vehicles on the road.

It took almost two hours to finally arrive at the destination.

When visiting someone for New Year's greetings, one must not bring anything empty-handed. Gu Wei did not bring any other gift boxes or anything like that. There were some cured meats given by relatives in the trunk, which he just brought for Liu Yifei to try.

When we arrived at the place, the security guard saw that the car was not registered and did not let it pass.

Gu Wei had no choice but to make a phone call. After a while, Liu Yifei drove to the door to pick him up.

"You guys go first. The security is pretty tight. I've been here many times, but they still won't let me in directly."

In the car, Gu Wei turned around and glanced at Liu Yifei. The young lady was still very beautiful even without makeup.

"Well, the community has always been like this. The privacy is very good, and the owner's information will not be disclosed to the outside. Every time Changchang comes, I go to the door to pick her up."

Liu Yifei had her hair down and wore a pink jacket. Her little face was rosy and she looked very cute.

Arriving at the entrance of the villa, Gu Wei parked the car, opened the trunk, took out the packaged cured meat, and then walked in with Liu Yifei.

Liu's mother was already waiting at the door. When Gu Wei saw her, he walked quickly forward.

"Auntie, Happy New Year, I wish you a happy new year."

"Gu Wei is here, Happy New Year, it's cold outside, come in."

Liu Xiaoli spoke up and handed Gu Wei another red envelope.

Seeing this, Gu Wei took it without hesitation and put it in his pocket.

At noon, Gu Wei and Liu Xiaoli, mother and daughter, had a meal at home. The nanny cooked some of the cured meat they brought, which tasted very good.
