Chapter 525

So Zhou Ziyuan was at most unhappy in his heart.

After entering the room, Xie, who was in a room with Team Leader Zhou, saw that he was not very happy, so he smiled and comforted: "Old Zhou, don't you see it clearly yet? That Li Ye is just taking his partner out to play. Don't be too calculating with him. Young people are young and admire each other, and taking care of them a little is also a good thing, right?"

Xie had directed films that won awards at multiple film festivals overseas since the 1960s, so although he was just a director, his status was not low, and he spoke directly to Team Leader Zhou.

But Zhou Ziyuan still had a deep face and said: "Director Xie, Li Ye hasn't graduated yet. We can't publicly support him in falling in love. Besides, you are also an old comrade who has been abroad many times. It's impossible not to understand my responsibilities and difficulties, right?"

"There are too many people in our group this time. If something happens, we all have to take responsibility. One person engages in special treatment, which can cause a group of people to engage in special treatment. How can we manage them then?"

Zhou Ziyuan pointed outside the door: "But look at that Li Ye. Hong Kong just praised him a few words, and he accepted it openly. Young people have a little ability and then raise their tails. Can't they be humble? He doesn't even live on our floor, saying it's a VIP room... Doesn't he know how serious the problem of leaving the masses is?" Xie smacked his lips and explained patiently: "Hong Kong really didn't praise Li Ye politely. Our film, in fact, from beginning to end, didn't lack Li Ye's bridge-building. So his identity is not as simple as an original author."

"Old Zhou is not from the film studio and doesn't know what Li Ye has done in the circle these past two years, but Xie knows that several of Pei Wencong's investments in mainland films these past two years have had more or less connections with Li Ye."

Old Zhou frowned and said: "He is just a student, does he really have such a big face? I heard Li Ye just sold two novels to Hong Kong."

Xie smiled and said: "How much ability you have can't be heard from others, you have to see for yourself. *Spring Goes and Spring Returns* was written by him, and it won two awards at the Nanyang Film Festival. *The Lonely Army of Looking Back* was written by him, and it exported over a million US dollars in foreign exchange." "Then look at our accommodation this time! Four-star hotel, just a few steps away from the film festival venue. We are staying for seven or eight days. The extra money spent by the reception party is not a small amount. With the shrewd calculation of Hong Kong people, this is not a small face."

"Whether it is in terms of talent or relationships, he is really a special young man."

Old Zhou finally stopped talking. He didn't know much about film, but he was a person who had led teams abroad many times, so of course he knew what the normal reception level was. Hong Kong was indeed receiving them above the standard this time.

"Alright, let's not think about these things. Hurry up and notify everyone to go down to eat! Hong Kong has prepared a banquet, we can't not give them face."

Xie put down his luggage and pulled Old Zhou out.

"I'm actually not very hungry..." Old Zhou ate two dinners on the plane and was indeed not hungry. Who would have thought it was already nine o'clock in the evening and people had prepared a reception meal? "Duo, duo, duo~" Li Ye just entered the room and put down his luggage when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He walked over and looked through the cat's eye; it was his sister Fu Yiruo.

Li Ye opened the door, and Fu Yiruo smiled and said: "Brother, let's go downstairs to eat~" Li Ye said: "I'll wash my face and go down. Go call your Sister Xiaoyu."

Watching Wen Leyu lived in room 8009 opposite Li Ye. Of course, they would call her to go down together.

But Fu Yiruo didn't go to call Watching Wen Leyu, but entered Li Ye's room with a giggle. The strange smile on her face made Li Ye a bit puzzled.

So Li Ye asked with a smile: "Xiaoru, what are you laughing at? Why do you look so bad?"

Fu Yiruo first looked back at Watching Wen Leyu's room opposite, then whispered with a smile: "Mom is staying next door in 8006. She wants to go down with us to see her daughter-in-law. Do you think... it's appropriate?"

Li Ye only then knew what Fu Yiruo's smile meant. The mother-in-law wants to see the new daughter-in-law, and the sister-in-law is ready to watch the show.

When Watching Wen Leyu first met Fu Yiruo, Li Ye confessed to her about Fu Guiru, otherwise it wouldn't have been easy to get along with Fu Yiruo for the past year.

But the problem was that Watching Wen Leyu wasn't prepared! Fu Guiru only said she wanted to see Yang Yumin, not Watching Wen Leyu, because Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu hadn't cooked the rice into cooked rice yet.

She still cared about her status, fearing that it would affect Li Ye's happiness for a lifetime.

"What's inappropriate about that?"

"Duo, duo, duo~" Li Ye knocked on Watching Wen Leyu's door.

Watching Wen Leyu opened the door quickly: "Are we going to eat? Wait for me to change my shoes."

Li Ye watched Watching Wen Leyu squat down to change her shoes with her little butt, and said sheepishly: "Xiaoyu, that... my mom happens to be staying next door. Is it okay to go eat together?"

Watching Wen Leyu's body stiffened for a moment, then she looked back at Li Ye and frowned.

Li Ye's heart jumped. He was wondering if the little girl had a knot in her heart. Watching Wen Leyu stretched her neck, poked her head out of the door to look at room 8006 next door, and then made a silent mouth shape at Li Ye.

"My mother-in-law is over there?"

Li Ye nodded, indicating that your future mother-in-law is in 8006.

Then Watching Wen Leyu blamed: "I didn't prepare a gift! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Ye's heart immediately settled down.

She knew that Watching Wen Leyu wouldn't be angry. The little girl's psychological quality was actually very strong. She wouldn't be nervous because she suddenly saw her mother-in-law, and she wouldn't be angry like a little fairy.

But the next moment, Watching Wen Leyu pulled Fu Yiruo into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Li Ye, wait a moment."

"Xiaoru, help me see which outfit is appropriate."

... Li Ye couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It's really unexpected that a girl like Watching Wen Leyu, who looks cold to everyone, can't avoid the vulgarity and will also be nervous.

Li Ye turned and went to 8006 and knocked on the door.

Fu Guiru opened the door and let Li Ye in, and the first sentence was: "Do you think this outfit is appropriate?"

... You two, there's no need to be like this, right? It's just a meal.

Li Ye looked at Fu Guiru's dress and couldn't help laughing: "It's not appropriate. Mom, your dress is too rigid, too old-fashioned, too serious. It gives people a sense of oppression at first glance."

Although Fu Guiru was in her forties or fifties, she was also a fashionable woman on weekdays, with cabinets full of various fashion suits and stylish dresses. If they weren't acquaintances, they would think she was at most in her thirties.

But today, in order to highlight the "steadiness" of the mother-in-law, Fu Guiru's dress was obviously much older, directly rushing to the aunt in her fifties.

Fu Guiru was stunned and asked in confusion: "Don't middle-aged and elderly women in the mainland dress like this now? If I dress like a capitalist, what if Xiaoyu is disgusted?"

Li Ye said helplessly: "Mom, why do you have to deliberately cater to others? Don't worry! Xiaoyu won't laugh at you. If she dares to laugh at you, we wouldn't have come to this day."

"Don't talk nonsense with me," Fu Guiru immediately taught her son: "I just saw it in the lobby downstairs. That girl is good. Cherish her a little, don't engage in male chauvinism."

"You were in the lobby downstairs just now? Why didn't I see you?" Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cried: "Mom, you can even peek?"

Fu Guiru slapped Li Ye on the forehead: "What do you mean peek? This is reconnaissance, proper reconnaissance, understand?"

"Right, right, right, female militia members are all reconnaissance experts," Li Ye rubbed his forehead and said: "Then where did you see that she is good?"

Fu Guiru looked at Li Ye and said very seriously: "I'll leave aside some things Xiaoru told me. Hearing is false, but I observed carefully just now. She follows by your side, and her attention is basically on you. Only when you were being made difficult by that team leader did she look at the team leader coldly."

"When you went upstairs, she would help you carry your bag, and when you were not handy with your luggage, she would grab to help... I have also seen many children of officials, but this Xiaoyu is different. At least she is different to you."

"I think Xiaoyu is very attached to you and very considerate of you, but she is not purely weak. Life together won't be smooth sailing, and being able to rely on each other is very important." Fu Guiru said a lot, making Li Ye couldn't help but suspect that just a little reconnaissance could really see so much "intelligence"?
