Chapter 43: Daily Life After Returning Home

During the time Wei Jin was in North America, the company's projects were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In terms of television dramas, "Lurking" has already finished filming and is currently undergoing post-production; Wei Jin, this big boss, hasn't visited the set even once. If she didn't know he was busy filming movies, Ceng Li would have suspected he was bewitched by the "big-wave" women in North America.

In terms of movies, the final cut of "Crazy Stone" is already out, and it is just waiting for Wei Jin to return to select a good release window.

Additionally, the company-invested television drama "World's Number One" was already broadcast on CTS in Taiwan in February, with good results, and it officially entered trial broadcasts on multiple local channels in Mainland China in March. The trial broadcast results were very good, and currently, multiple satellite channels have already made contact.

"Drawing Sword" is currently in the middle of filming, and Chen Zhiming has already represented Wei Jin to visit the set once.

The person who came to pick him up at the airport was the assistant Li Na. After getting into the car, Wei Jin began to close his eyes and rest; long-distance flights are still a bit tiring.

Just after arriving home, Ceng Li pounced on him. They hadn't seen each other for nearly three months, and she had missed Wei Jin's scent until she was almost crazy. If it weren't for filming duties with the crew, she would have long since flown to North America.

Wei Jin supported Ceng Li's thighs with both hands; the feel was very good. He saw that Li Jie had a bit of light sweat on her forehead, her small face was flushed, and she was wearing tight yoga clothes—it turned out she had been practicing yoga at home.

Ceng Li hugged Wei Jin tightly, smelling the familiar scent, feeling somewhat intoxicated.

Just like that, Wei Jin carried Ceng Li and slowly walked toward the bathroom. This time, Ceng Li seemed to want to release all the energy she had stored up; only after they were both exhausted did they fall asleep in each other's arms.

When Wei Jin woke up, it was already noon the next day. Watching the beauty still in her morning sleep, Wei Jin got up and washed up on tiptoe, called a nearby restaurant to order takeout for two, and then began to work in the study.

The movie scenes in his mind flashed by constantly. Wei Jin finally made his selection, and then his fingers were seen flying across the keyboard as a new script gradually took shape.

It was unknown when Ceng Li had already gotten up and received the takeout. She had intended to call Wei Jin to eat, but upon arriving at the study and seeing Wei Jin's focused appearance, she couldn't help but recall the time when they first met. A happy smile appeared on her face, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Wei Jin was full of love.

"Li Jie, you're awake? Are you hungry? The takeout is here, wait for me a moment."

With another person in the room, Wei Jin naturally wouldn't fail to notice.

"Not very hungry, I've been losing weight recently."

Ceng Li hugged Wei Jin from behind and whispered in his ear.

"Writing a script again? Rest for a few days, don't wear yourself out."

"Let me feel, with your figure, you have curves where you should and are slim where you should be; where do you need to lose weight? I don't like it if you're too thin."

Wei Jin turned around and groped Ceng Li all over, then said in Ceng Li's ear: "Besides, you know my body; if I don't write scripts, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. I don't know who it was last night..."

"You are really not allowed to say that. Otherwise, don't even think about it in the future."

Ceng Li remembered what happened last night and felt a bit shy and annoyed.

Then the two of them went to the living room laughing and joking, and began to eat lunch.

In the afternoon, Ceng Li pulled Wei Jin along, intending to go out for a stroll, saying it was to let him rest.

Wei Jin thought that the projects weren't urgent anyway, so he agreed.

The two were dressed like a young couple, wandering slowly out of the residential compound; and honestly, it was quite pleasant.

Walking and stopping along the way without a destination, just setting off as they pleased, Wei Jin felt a trace of relaxation.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Shangguan Haitang?"

An inquiry came from behind, interrupting Wei Jin and Ceng Li's leisure time.

Ceng Li looked back and saw a young girl in her 20s, speaking with a southern accent.

"Hello, I am Ceng Li, and I did play Shangguan Haitang."

"It really is you. So your name is Ceng Li, I've remembered it. Can you help me sign an autograph?"

The young girl was a bit excited, then rummaged through her bag and took out a palm-sized sticky note.

"You shouldn't be able to see 'World's Number One' in Beijing, right? How do you know me?" This drama was a gift from Wei Jin, and Ceng Li had always been very concerned about its broadcast status, hence the question.

"My home is in Guangdong. Our local channel broadcast it over the past two months. You acted really well, you're so beautiful. Several of my close friends really like you. By the way, can you help me sign a few more autographs? And a photo together."

"Of course, no problem."

Ceng Li was full of joy upon meeting a true fan. Heaven knows, she had debuted for several years and this was the first time she had been stopped by a fan on the street for an autograph. This was all thanks to her little boyfriend. For a moment, Li Jie was already thinking in her heart about how to reward her man tonight.

During the rest of the shopping trip, it was obvious that Ceng Li was in an even better mood. It seems that becoming famous really makes people happy.

In the evening, Wei Jin was in the study focusing on writing a script. This script requires a very long time for post-production special effects; if he doesn't hurry, he won't have any movies released this year.

"Husband, it's time to rest."

A voice full of allure sounded at the doorway. Wei Jin looked up and saw Li Jie leaning against the door frame, wearing the set of pajamas he loved the most.

What kind of cadre could withstand such temptation? Who cares about typing anymore.

That night, Wei Jin enjoyed treatment fit for an emperor.

While living a carefree life with Ceng Li, Wei Jin also took the time to meet with the people from the game studio and arranged a project. Afterward, Wei Jin pulled himself together and continued to throw himself into work.

At ten o'clock this morning, Wei Jin received a call from Huang Bai, saying that he and Ning Hao were coming over to discuss the movie release window. Since he had rested enough, Wei Jin set the meeting location at the company.

Arriving at the company, he saw the little receptionist on the phone. Judging by the tone of her voice, Wei Jin judged that the person on the other end of the line was likely her boyfriend.

"Ahem."

"Ah, hello, President Wei."

The receptionist looked panicked, hurriedly hung up the phone, and her face turned flushed, as if she were trying to think of an excuse to deal with her boss.

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat people. At most, I'll just fine you."

Wei Jin's tone was somewhat teasing; he had nothing to do, so he was just relaxing his mood.

"President Wei, I won't do it next time, please don't fine me, okay?"

The receptionist looked pitiful and on the verge of tears. To be honest, Wei Jin really couldn't stand seeing a young girl crying.

"Forget it, don't let it happen again. You're so young, why are you dating? Isn't getting promoted and a raise better?"

Wei Jin brushed past this incident lightly, and then began to brainwash his employees again. Ever since he became a capitalist, Wei Jin had become increasingly proficient at this routine.

Striding with an arrogant gait, Wei Jin walked into his office. Not long after, his assistant Li Na knocked and entered, placing the documents in her hand on the desk.

"President Wei, the revenue share for 'Those Years' has all arrived. The theater chains were quite prompt with the settlement. Take a look and sign it so the finance department can record it."

With the development of the company, Li Na, this assistant, now takes on more of the work of an administrative secretary. Wei Jin had long intended to hire another assistant who met his preferences, but he hadn't found a suitable one for the time being.

"Good. By the way, Huang Bai and Ning Hao will be coming over later. Tell the receptionist to lead them directly to me."

Glancing at the documents, Wei Jin signed his name casually.

"Very well, President Wei."
