"I'm sorry, the casting is not my responsibility; you can go directly to apply and follow the normal process," Ye Cheng said bluntly. Then he didn't plan to speak to the other party and hung up the phone directly.
However, the other party obviously will not give up so easily.
Soon, the phone rang again.
"Mr. Ye, I'm Zhang Ya'er. Why don't we meet?"
The voice opposite was replaced by a slightly charming female voice.
Ye Cheng felt very speechless. Is she trying to make him bend the rules?
He didn't expect to come across this so quickly.
It's no wonder that the entertainment industry is not in general chaos.
Too bad he's not like that.
"Sorry, I don't have time. I still have things to do, so don't call again." Ye Cheng hung up the phone again.
Then he directly blocked the number.
Ye Cheng flipped through the news.
A very hot news story caught his attention.
Yesterday, the boss of a certain east group was arrested for crimes in the beautiful country... In a previous life, this matter was very noisy.
Ye Cheng smiled and didn't care too much.
After all, it's not a good thing to judge.
In the afternoon, Ye Cheng drove his wife home and picked up Qin Qin from the kindergarten, by the way.
Not long after, the aunt came to the door with Tang Xiaofeng's two "053" children.
Ye Cheng started to get busy.
His daily task now is to ensure his wife's diet and feed her well.
Lin Yuanyuan originally belonged to the kind that is neither fat nor thin. She looks plump when she dresses, but she looks thin when she takes off her clothes. She doesn't deliberately go on a diet, but she maintains a very good figure.
However, during this time, after Ye Cheng's feeding, she gained seven or eight pounds.
The whole person has become more rounded.
When she was pregnant with Qinqin, Lin Yuanyuan weighed a maximum of 138 jins, but after giving birth, it only took less than two months to lose weight to 100 jins.
Ye Cheng was wearing an apron, washing dishes, whistling, and busy in the kitchen.
He already knew what to do tonight.
To this end, he specially downloaded an app that customizes recipes for pregnant women and follows the above recipes every day, which are almost non-repetitive.
On the Internet, he orders many fresh ingredients, and the prices are naturally not cheap.
But he didn't care at all.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Ye Cheng hurriedly dried his hands, then took out his phone.
When he took it out, it was a video call from his brother-in-law, Lin Xuanyu.
"Hey, brother-in-law, I'm coming to Pengcheng in a few days. Do you want me to bring anything?" Lin Xuanyu asked.
The current Lin Xuanyu looks very handsome. After all, his elder sister, Lin Yuanyuan, is so beautiful, and his younger brother is naturally not bad. The genes of the Lin family's parents are still very good.
His dressing up and hairstyles now are very different from before.
Lin Xuanyu has already found a girlfriend. She is very beautiful, a white, rich beauty, and her family owns a chain supermarket.
"Xiaoyu, in the yard behind Uncle Lang's villa, there are quite a few chickens, so bring me some more," Ye Cheng requested.
Ye Cheng thought for a moment before responding, "Although there are chickens and ducks raised in my hometown, it is more troublesome to send them by mail."
"Brother-in-law, what do you want so many chickens for?" Lin Xuanyu inquired curiously.
"Your sister is pregnant with a second child," Ye Cheng disclosed calmly.
"Wow, how long has it been?" Lin Xuanyu's eyes lit up with excitement.
"It's been more than a month. I need to process the chicken before bringing it back and freezing it," Ye Cheng explained.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, it's guaranteed to be done properly," Lin Xuanyu assured.
During dinner, Ye Cheng left his aunt and uncle to eat with their two children. Tang Xiaofeng and his wife often returned from work very late.
"Yuanyuan, if you are pregnant with a second child, you should eat more. Otherwise, how can the fetus grow so fast?" Ye Cheng's aunt advised.
"Auntie, it's not good for the fetus to grow too fast. I made her a special meal for pregnant women. She has to eat six meals a day, and it is important to eat less and more meals, which is more conducive to digestion," Ye Cheng intervened.
The older generation's belief was that pregnant women must eat more, but Ye Cheng believed in scientific nutrition, emphasizing eating less but more frequently.
"How can there be so much attention? When I gave birth to three, Xiaofeng, I ate a lot, and after I was born, my body was very good, and I rarely caught a cold or fever," the aunt reminisced.
Lin Yuanyuan simply smiled and continued to eat slowly.
After the aunt and the others left, Ye Cheng asked Qin Qin to take a bath. Although Qin Qin was only five years old, she could already bathe alone, but Ye Cheng helped with washing her hair. Ye Cheng refrained from asking Lin Yuanyuan for help, as children tend to move around in the bath, which could be troublesome if they touched his wife's stomach.
Outside the bathroom, Ye Cheng communicated through the glass, "Qinqin, have you finished washing? Don't play with water in there."
"Dad, it's almost done," Qin Qin replied from inside.
A few minutes later, Qin Qin emerged from the bathroom, already dressed.
"Qinqin is really amazing; she can take a bath and get dressed by herself," Ye Cheng praised.
Qinqin beamed with pride at her independence.
Ye Cheng quickly dried her hair with a hairdryer and then, as usual, told her a story before bedtime.
"In order to tell his daughter bedtime stories, he doesn't know how many fairy tale books he has read during this time.
Lin Yuanyuan spends most of her time telling stories.
Finally, Ye Cheng heard Qin Qin's gentle breathing, and she had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed.
Ye Cheng carefully covered her with the quilt and then crept out of the room.
At this time, Ye Cheng had time alone with his wife.
"Is Xiaoyu coming?"
Lin Yuanyuan asked.
"Well, do you want your parents to come and play as well? Anyway, it's safe to come with Xiaoyu," Ye Cheng said.
"Don't scream; my mother likes to play mahjong. Who will play with her when she comes? Within two days, she will be clamoring to go back, so she might as well not come," Lin Yuanyuan laughed.
"It is," Ye Cheng nodded.
After the two talked for a while, Ye Cheng got up and prepared clothes for Lin Yuanyuan to take a bath.
Outside the airport, Ye Cheng came to pick him up.
"Uncle is here."
Moreover, he also brought his girlfriend with him.
Ye Cheng looked at the time and should have gotten off the plane.
After about ten minutes, Lin Xuanyu finally saw the figure at the exit.
But wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, looking like this, is like going out with a star.
Ye Cheng recognized it at a glance.
However, Lin Xuanyu is also an Internet celebrity anchor with more than 9 million fans, and he is often recognized outside.
A girl followed Lin Xuanyu, holding Lin Xuanyu's arm.
In addition, he followed a male assistant and dragged two large suitcases.
Ye waved his hand, and soon Lin Xuanyu came with the girl.
"Brother-in-law," Lin Xuanyu pulled the mask off and said, "This is my girlfriend, Xiaojia."
"Brother-in-law, hello," the girl Liu Jia cried out sweetly.
Ye Cheng nodded with a smile, then led them to the parking lot.
After returning home, Lin Yuanyuan chats with Liu Jia, and Ye Cheng starts to deal with the turkey in the suitcase.
It's all done, vacuum-packed, and lots of ice added, and it's still not spent.
There are twelve turkeys in total.
Ye Cheng put all the chicken in the refrigerator.
Anyway, the refrigerator is big enough to put it in.
For the next few days, Lin Xuanyu took Liu Jia out to play every day, or the Xinghai Guild... It wasn't until August 16 that he returned to Shashi by plane.
"Husband, how do you feel about Liu Jia?" Lin Yuanyuan asked. "
"It feels very calculated."
Ye Cheng expressed his deepest sentiments.
These days, Lin Xuanyu has been hoping that Ye Cheng can sign Liu Jia. This is also the primary purpose behind bringing Liu Jia to Pengcheng.
The operational prowess of Xinghai Guild, not only in full vibrato but also in the entire live broadcast field, is undoubtedly second to none. Almost all the signed anchors of the Xinghai Guild are thriving and popularized under its operation. After all, outsiders are unaware of the intricacies; it was entirely customized by Ye Cheng according to the characteristics of these individuals' previous lives. No wonder they're thriving.
However, this also associates the Xinghai Guild with a certain label. Signing with the Star Sea Guild almost guarantees a 99.9% chance of success. Consequently, more and more anchors are now seeking connections, hoping to join the Xinghai Guild. Unfortunately, the guild's requirements are exceedingly strict.
Liu Jia's talent primarily lies in dancing, but nothing extraordinary. While her fan base isn't insignificant, it's likely Lin Xuanyu used his account to attract fans to Liu Jia. Ye Cheng doesn't perceive any operational potential in her. Furthermore, Liu Jia seems to be leveraging Lin Xuanyu to kickstart her career as an anchor. As for her feelings towards Lin Xuanyu, they remain uncertain.
Given these circumstances, Ye Cheng will undoubtedly not sign Liu Jia, not even as a favor to his brother-in-law. He won't deviate from the rules. Nonetheless, out of consideration for his brother-in-law, Ye Cheng still offers Liu Jia a chance to participate in an internal training session at the Xinghai Guild. Whether she can transform and uncover her potential depends entirely on her own efforts.
"I share that sentiment, too."
Lin Yuanyuan nodded in agreement. However, she refrains from expressing her thoughts to her brother. After all, he's fond of Liu Jia.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September. Days passed peacefully, with Ye Cheng dividing his time between the company and home. Meanwhile, his wife's pregnancy progressed, albeit accompanied by the challenges of the first trimester.
On this particular day, Ye Cheng was in his office when he received a call, noticing the caller ID with a hint of surprise. Fei. He had almost forgotten about this individual, given the passage of more than two months.
