Golden Boy

Su Pei was busy the next day.

He finally packed all his luggage and simply cleaned up the house.

Then he called the screenwriter studio he knew, complained about his unhappiness in the crew, and asked them to help pay attention to reliable crews, and he specially emphasized "reliable!".Acquaintances suggested that he could write some content first, and they could help recommend it.

Su Pei wanted to quickly finalize the next job, but what worried him even more was the settlement of the "Rongcheng Confidential" crew.

If the crew has been dragging his final payment, he has been busy for nothing this year.

Su Pei has always disliked the matter of "chasing money".It is obvious that he deserves the remuneration, but he has to keep asking, and it is easy to wear down a person's self-esteem and emotions.

He called the producer of the crew and asked about the settlement.

The producer fully agreed to ask Su Pei to "wait for a few days" and arrange it soon.

Su Pei was skeptical and could only wait and see.

After thinking about it, he called Li Yan, the editor of the publishing house he had been working with before, and asked if the publishing house could reprint his previous novels.

Li Yan is not very optimistic because of the downturn in physical publishing.The publishing house is very cautious about every book now.However, the editor said that he would suggest to the editor-in-chief and consider this matter.

"Su Pei, have you finished your new novel?" Li Yan asked.He is an old editor, much older than Su Pei.Su Pei's first novel was written by him.

Su Pei thought about He Yiming's evaluation of the new book last night, and said: "It's only half of the content...it needs to be changed a lot."

Li Yan said: "I will try to help you republish old books. In fact, it is best for you to finish the new book and publish a new book."

Su Pei chatted with him for a while, and made an appointment to meet and talk about the new book sometime.

After contacting work, Su Pei went to a private car repair shop.There was a small problem with his car before. Before going to the set, he left the car there to repair it, and it should have been repaired by now.

He is a regular customer of this car repair shop, and the price boss can give him a lower price.Even so, Su Pei still felt pain when he heard the cost, and went to Xiaoqian all of a sudden.

Su Pei paid with a credit card.He thought in his heart that he really wanted to urge the crew to give him the final payment as soon as possible.

After paying the payment and taking the car, Su Pei stepped on the accelerator and drove his Cadillac to Little Cookie's school.

After three o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, a row of luxury cars had already parked in front of the private school.The BMW 7 Series seems to be an ordinary nanny car, and there are several tens of thousands of sports cars parked there.Su Pei's Cadillac, which had been driven for several years, barely managed to save face, so as not to look shabby.

When Little Cookie saw Su Pei from afar, he immediately became excited.With her schoolbag on her back and a bag in her hand, she trotted around.

"Daddy Daddy!"

Su Pei laughed.Little Cookie's face looks like his mother's, but his facial features are very similar to him, especially his eyes, which are his eyes.Seeing such a little girl version of herself, Su Pei always finds it cute and unbelievable.

Little Cookie ran to him and threw both bags to him: "Why did you come back so early? I thought it was grandma who picked me up today."

Su Pei put her bag on the car, and said with a smile, "I miss you so much, I miss you so much." He talked to Little Cookie like a kindergarten baby, but he also noticed it, and he hasn't seen you for more than a month , the little cookie seems to grow a little taller.

Little Cookie didn't see Su Pei for more than a month, and she didn't get in the car to go home immediately. She pestered Su Pei and talked for a while at the school gate.Not just because she missed her daddy, but because of a desire to show off.She once heard a classmate's parent say by chance: "... Su Yao's father is so young, I thought it was her brother... he looks a bit like some actor..."

Little Cookie remembered.She told her classmates that her dad was a screenwriter!Still handsome and young!Now is the best time to show off.Whenever a classmate passed by her, she waved and said, "My dad is back from the set!"

Of course Su Pei saw through his daughter's trickery, he was a little funny, but he really didn't look like anyone.

He took the little cookie to a newly opened large shopping mall, ate dessert, and bought Internet celebrity milk tea.Little Cookie's grandma usually doesn't drink milk tea for her children, so when Su Pei came back from a business trip, of course she wanted to bribe her daughter.

Su Pei ate durian mille-feuille, and asked Little Cookie how he was at school and how he was doing at grandma's house.

"Have you received the clothes and toys I bought for you?" Su Pei asked.

"Got it!" Little Cookie said bluntly, "Dad, don't buy me Lego anymore."

Su Pei asked: "What's the matter? You don't like playing Lego anymore?"

Cookie said: "A Lego set is too expensive..."

Su Pei's heart warmed up. He didn't expect that the little girl was only a few years old and already started to think about saving family expenses, which was better than him.

"...Dad, if you save some Lego money, you can buy me a new mobile phone. I want a smart phone." Little Cookie finished the sentence.

Su Pei almost choked, and Cookie quickly patted him on the back lovingly.Su Pei immediately rejected her: "You are only in the third grade, what kind of smartphone do you want? Don't think about it, no."

Su Pei flatly rejected Little Cookie.He said, "Wait until you go to junior high school to think about it, not now."

Cookie was lost for a while, but there was no fuss.She is a smart child, and she is aware of her parents' divorce and her father's work outside.

So she just put her head down and ate, feeling depressed and unhappy.

Su Pei teased her: "Don't be angry, you don't want to go home and see what Dad brought you back?"

Children always like celebrities. When Su Pei said this, she regained her spirits and asked, "Do you have Qiu Ruoyang's autographed photo?"

Su Pei asked: "Who is Qiu Ruoyang?"

Although he is a screenwriter, he really doesn't know everyone in the entertainment industry.

Little Cookie told him: "He is the most popular idol now! All the girls in our class like him."

When Su Pei heard it, he remembered that Qiu Ruoyang was a member of an idol group and was famous for his good looks.Most of the fans are between the ages of ten and 25.

He felt a little bad, his daughter started chasing stars at a young age?

"You like him too?" he asked.

Little Cookie shook her head: "I don't feel it. But there must be something to talk about when chatting with other people. Having Qiu Ruoyang's autographed photo will make them envious."

Su Pei couldn't stop laughing, he asked, "How about Fang Ziling and Xu Xi's autographs?"

Little Cookie nodded, like a good appraiser, and said, "That's not bad. They're quite popular now, enough to fool children."

Su Pei went home at night and made pork rib soup and shrimp according to He Yiming's recipe, but it was still not as delicious as He Yiming's cooking.

Little Cookie was very satisfied. She always praised her father for his good craftsmanship, which was much more delicious than the school cafeteria.

After dinner, Cookie showed Su Pei all kinds of homework she had done. Su Pei was looking at her composition when someone called.

As soon as Su Pei saw the caller ID, he immediately picked up the call. It was Xiaoyan who called.She told Su Pei that she lost her job now and dared not go back to her hometown to tell her parents, so she temporarily went to live with a classmate who worked under a famous emotional blogger. Just be a shooter.

"It's good that you can find a place to stay." Su Pei comforted her a few words.He thought that if Xiaoyan was really Mrs. Bo Wenchen's "eyeliner", why was she so down and out.

Xiaoyan is also worried about the final payment.Her remuneration was not as high as Su Pei's, but she still had tens of thousands of dollars.

Su Pei told her not to worry too much, "Rongcheng Confidential" is not an ordinary grassroots team, so it should not renege on its debts.

After he finished chatting with Xiaoyan, he turned around and saw that Little Cookie had fallen asleep lying on the sofa.He walked over, touched his daughter's little head, and said in a low voice, "Little Cookie, take a bath before going to bed."

Little Cookie responded inarticulately: "Good night, Dad... will you still be there tomorrow..."

Su Pei paused and said, "I'm here."

On Saturday, Su Pei sent Little Cookie to dance class, and then went to his mother's for dinner.

As soon as Little Cookie saw grandma, she immediately reported to grandma: "Dad made pork rib soup yesterday! It's very delicious!"

Su Pei's mother, Wen Lanxin, knew her son too well, she smiled and said, "Why do you have the leisure to start a business?"

Su Pei said: "A friend sent some dishes over, and he taught me how to cook them."

When Su Pei's mother heard it, she felt that there was a drama in it, and she put her arms around the little cookie and asked, "Did you see the aunt who delivered the food?"

Cookie said, "No. But I heard Dad talking to an aunt on the phone!"

Wen Xinlan smiled and said, "That's right..." She is over 50 years old, but she is well maintained, her voice is still very young, and she speaks in a drawn-out tone, and she still has the softness of her youth.

Su Pei explained: "The person who called was my assistant from the previous crew, asking me some work questions. The person who delivered the food was really a friend, a former classmate of mine, a man."

He emphasized, friend, gender male.In fact, his mother also knew He Yiming, but he didn't want to say it was He Yiming.After all, He Yiming's reputation is too great now, Wen Xinlan thinks that they don't have much contact with each other.

Wen Xinlan showed regret: "This is a pity."

Su Pei pretended not to understand what Wen Xinlan was feeling sorry for, and asked Little Cookie to eat fruit.

Su Pei's mother lived in a small place, but it was elegantly furnished.

There are no paintings on the white walls, and a bohemian-style colorful rug is spread beside the sofa.A bouquet of roses is placed in a large crystal vase next to the TV cabinet.

There are several family photos on the bookshelf, the most conspicuous one is Wen Xinlan when she was young. She is wearing a scarlet dress and a pearl necklace. She has smooth skin and beautiful eyebrows. The cute little boy in her arms is Su Pei.

Every time Su Pei sees this photo, she feels that her mother has never changed. No matter how many things she goes through, she is immersed in her own world and never gives up her pursuit of beauty and delicacy.

So after her father passed away, she didn't slump. She still lived as before, dancing, practicing calligraphy and painting, and traveling when she had time.

As he grew older, Su Pei admired his mother more and more.

After dinner, Cookie leaned against Su Pei to watch cartoons.Su Pei looked at the brightly colored picture, and unconsciously lost his mind. He unconsciously took out the cigarette case, and suddenly came to his senses, this was at his mother's house, and Cookie was still by his side.

He put away his cigarette again.

Wen Xinlan asked: "You failed to quit smoking again? Are there any problems recently?"

Su Pei immediately smiled and said, "No problem, I'm preparing a new script recently."

After the weekend was over, Cookie went back to school.Su Pei finally had time to work quietly at home.He wanted to revise the new novel, and he had to find a suitable topic for writing the script.

On Wednesday, he asked He Yiming to go to Yao Zhicheng's house together.They reconciled thanks to Yao Zhicheng. He hadn't seen Yao Zhicheng in the past few months and wanted to see his old classmate.

The author has something to say: Little Cookie: The aunt who delivers food is really virtuous
