Chapter 506: line with translation of chapter title
Zhang Ruowei's parents thought it over carefully, and indeed that's exactly the principle.
Speaking of their daughter, although she hasn't studied acting, once she becomes the female lead of Three Body 2, not to mention becoming a first-tier star in a short time, she is definitely assured of being a second-tier star.
One year's income is definitely not a small amount; cars, houses, etc., are no problem; in the future, they themselves will be able to afford them.
But Aoyou Teng being able to provide that when an artist just signs a contract gives that feeling of 'home', of being valued, which is really good.
Mom Zhang asked Jiang Heng if he had time over there, as they wanted to go over to thank him.
The supervisor said, "Just now I asked his assistant; Director Jiang's schedule is fully booked today; only after 3 p. m. tomorrow will he have time to see you!"
"It's fine, it's fine, we can wait!" Mom Zhang chuckled.
The supervisor said, "In that case, you go rest at the apartment first, Xiao Zhu!!!"
Speaking, they called over a tall, slender girl in a professional suit: "You take them to their lodging first!"
"Okay, please follow me!"
While speaking, the four of them left the building, went to the parking lot, got into a white Mercedes-Benz C260, and then, under Xiao Zhu's guidance, arrived at a residential community not far from the company.
"Is this the apartment your company rents?" Mom Zhang asked curiously.
"No, this is developed by our group's real estate company; part is directly marketed, more is sold to employees at a discount, and some are specially kept after fine decoration to provide to newly signed artists of the company!"
Upon hearing that, Mom Zhang glanced at the surrounding landscaping and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's too extravagant!"
Xiao Zhu laughed and said, "So that's why so many people want to work at our company!"
Mom Zhang laughed and said, "You kid, you obviously have good fortune."
After the four went upstairs, the door opened, revealing a luxuriously renovated three-bedroom apartment.
Mom Zhang quickly walked to the window, saw that the view was exactly the main scenic area of the community's landscaping, and exclaimed delightedly, "Ah, this building must be the prime spot, right?"
"Yes, the good units are of course reserved for our own people! Nothing else, I'll head out now!"
"Hey, Old Zhang, you drive and take her home!"
The girl laughed and said, "No need, Uncle, you just arrived and aren't familiar with the roads; dropping me off and coming back would be troublesome; I happen to need to go to the property office anyway, they'll give me a ride!"
Seeing that, Mom Zhang stopped being polite and just expressed her thanks.
After Xiao Zhu left and the door was closed, the family looked around the room, feeling utterly novel.
Actually their place back in Leqing hometown isn't small either, and the decoration is okay. But this is Jingcheng—a three-bedroom over a hundred square meters, luxuriously decorated; the furniture, bedding, curtains, kitchenware, bathroom fixtures are all good stuff; even the fridge has beer, drinks, mineral water laid out.
One could say that aside from lacking meat, rice, flour, eggs, vegetables, daily necessities are all there—truly a move-in-with-just-your-bags situation!
Mom Zhang couldn't help but lie on the big bed in the master bedroom, sighing, "This place is also too great; I don't want to leave!"
"What about the younger ones back home?" Dad Zhang asked.
"Just bring them over here; the education quality is better!"
"What about the business back home?"
Mom Zhang said disdainfully, "Your little business, you're busy all year for barely any profit; even if the girl becomes a big star, it wouldn't be enough to match a fraction of her earnings!"
Dad Zhang, hearing that, felt a bit embarrassed but more proud: "That shows our genes are good; the daughter takes after me; she could grow this beautiful not because I was handsome when young!"
Mom Zhang snorted, "You only looked like that when you were young; now…!" Zhang Ruowei, listening to her parents' bickering nearby, also felt extremely warm.
"I think Mom's right; a family should be together; now I have this opportunity, the time is ripe, I can really bring my younger siblings over here!"
Zhang Ruowei's parents, hearing that, also expressed agreement.
People from Wenzhou dare to be first; whether abroad or domestically, city or countryside, they go wherever they can make money; their adaptability to environment is exceptionally strong.
Although it's only the first day in Jingcheng, they've already set the family's future development goals.
Looking at this three-bedroom again, it truly feels like their own home.
The three went downstairs to the property office to ask where there is a supermarket.
The property staff obviously knew Zhang Ruowei's situation and very courteously helped give directions.
Zhang Ruowei's family drove to the supermarket, bought a huge amount of food and supplies, filled the big fridge, that evening cooked a full table of dishes, and the family of three ate happily.
The next morning, Dad Zhang went out early to wander nearby, pondering what to do staying here; Mom Zhang then accompanied their daughter to rest at home.
After checking, there is not a single mistake in the version!
By afternoon, the family of three finally drove to Aoyou Teng Building, and only when it was almost four o'clock were they led into Jiang Heng's office.
"Sorry, I've been busy today, making you wait!"
Zhang Ruowei's parents hurriedly waved their hands: "No problem, no problem, we basically have nothing to do anyway!"
Jiang Heng smiled, nodded slightly, and looked at Zhang Ruowei asking, "How does it feel being in Jingcheng?"
"Hmm, it's quite good; almost everyone we've met is especially enthusiastic, and very friendly toward us!"
Jiang Heng laughed, "That's because they know you're a signed artist of Aoyou Teng, the female lead of Three Body 2, and will definitely become a big star in the future, so they're being so courteous!"
He also looked at Zhang Ruowei's parents and laughed, "I saw her résumé; her parents used to run a small business in Shijiazhuang!"
"Yeah, back when we just got married, conditions were poor, we thought about going out to make some money, do some small business!" Dad Zhang said embarrassedly.
Jiang Heng laughed, "Back then, you surely didn't encounter so many friendly people, right?"
Dad Zhang, hearing that, got a bit excited: "That's really all sorts of demons and monsters; we've encountered all kinds of people; good folks aren't that many!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said to Zhang Ruowei, "Look, the world is like this, and the entertainment industry is like this. When you're doing well, everyone around you smiles at you, praises you, and fawns over you. But when you're not doing well, you'll encounter all sorts of ill-intentioned people."
Zhang Ruowei had a frightened expression, silent as a cicada in winter.
Jiang Heng laughed and said, "I'm telling you this so you'll value this opportunity, perform well; after the film airs, you'll definitely become popular for a while. But for better future development, I hope you can enter the Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama to study acting systematically; you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Ruonan quickly nodded, "I know, Director Jiang; I will definitely strive to act well and also study hard to try to get into the Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Then that's good!"
Immediately he asked Zhang Ruowei's parents about their future plans; upon hearing they had the idea of coming to Jingcheng, he immediately expressed agreement.
"Not bad, I agree with your idea. In this society, relying on one person's strength to strive is very difficult. Being able to unite family or clan strength makes success easier to obtain."
"That way, when you come over, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come find me!"
The three of them all looked delighted upon hearing, and hurriedly said they didn't dare to trouble Jiang Heng. (End of chapter)
