Chapter 206 My Mother Was a Heartthrob in the 1980s
"What's wrong, Mom? Is there anything you forgot to take?"
Just as Si Qingzhou was about to leave, she saw Si Yan pause in her steps and asked her curiously.
"It's okay, I'll straighten my skirt."
After Si Yan finished speaking, she straightened her skirt.
"Okay, let's go."
Si Yan smiled faintly and followed Si Qingzhou out the door.
"Master... what's with you... putting a seal on me?"
"System Xiaoqi said with difficulty."
Si Yan's expression remained unchanged, but something flashed across her eyes.
[Noisy.]
Si Yan ignored Xiao Qi and followed directly behind Si Qingzhou.
Director Zhang originally planned to pick them up by car, but Si Qingzhou refused because the hotel was very close to their rented apartment, less than a ten-minute walk away.
At this moment, Director Zhang in the hotel looked both happy and slightly flustered, pacing back and forth nonstop.
"Uncle, is it really necessary? You're acting like we're going on a blind date. We're here to sign a contract and discuss cooperation."
Wang Chengyu said he couldn't bear to watch; his uncle was just too outrageous.
“Chengyu, you don’t understand. She is my dream goddess. I couldn’t decide on the female lead for my movie until I saw her for the first time. Besides, her situation is different. I was also worried that she wouldn’t agree.”
Director Zhang's hesitant demeanor at this moment was quite unlike his usual style.
"Old Zhang, didn't I already say that they're willing? As long as your contract is sound, they'll definitely sign it."
Editor Chen, who was standing nearby, said with a smile.
“That’s right, Uncle Zhang. I don’t know Aunt Si Yan, but I do know her son, Si Qingzhou. Since he said so, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Chen Cheng also offered a word of comfort, but he was puzzled in his heart, thinking that Uncle Zhang was being too outrageous.
"Yes, I was too hasty. Please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
Director Zhang smiled apologetically.
Meanwhile, Si Qingzhou had just reunited with Xiao Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, we're over here."
From afar, Si Qingzhou saw a figure standing at the alley entrance. He was wondering if it was Xiao Yuan when he got closer and saw that it was indeed him.
"Qingzhou, you've arrived."
Xiao Yuan looked over happily upon hearing Si Qingzhou's voice, but his ears turned red when he saw Si Yan.
It turned out that Si Yan had dressed up specially for today. Although she was wearing a mask, she still looked extremely beautiful in Xiao Yuan's eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you, where are you looking?"
Si Qingzhou was speechless. Just a moment ago, Si Qingzhou had said several things to Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan seemed to be in a daze, grinning like an idiot.
"Ah, Qingzhou, what did you say?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore, let's go."
Si Qingzhou sighed helplessly and turned to walk towards the restaurant.
Xiao Yuan awkwardly touched his nose and followed behind, but his eyes kept glancing unintentionally at Si Yan.
The three of them had just arrived at the door when they encountered Director Zhang, who had come out to check.
"Comrade Siyan, you've arrived!"
Si Yan nodded slightly. Now that they had arrived, Si Yan took off her mask.
Inside the private room, Director Zhang's nephew Wang Chengyu and Editor Chen and his son were also looking towards the door.
I want to see what Si Yan looks like that makes my uncle so obsessed with her.
Wang Chengyu craned his neck, his eyes full of curiosity.
"this way please."
Director Zhang looked delighted, which made Wang Chengyu and the other two even more curious.
After Director Zhang moved aside, revealing Si Yan and the others.
"What? She's Si Yan?"
[Bang, bang, bang...]
The moment Wang Chengyu saw Si Yan, he felt as if countless flowers were blooming around him. It was the first time he had ever felt his heart flutter so directly.
"Chengyu, Chengyu, what's wrong with you? You didn't even say hello."
After arranging for Si Yan and the other person to sit down, Director Zhang turned around and saw Wang Chengyu standing there blankly.
"Ah, right, right, right, I didn't realize it for a moment."
"Ah, hello Auntie."
A blush slowly crept up behind Wang Chengyu's ears.
"Hello, my name is Si Yan. This is my son, Si Qingzhou, and the other person is Xiao Yuan, who is my son's friend."
Si Yan introduced it softly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chengyu was even more moved after hearing Si Yan's voice.
Even her voice is so beautiful!
"Hello, I've contacted you before. My name is Zhang Mingyuan. I'm the organizer and director of this film, so you can rest assured that I will keep my promise."
Director Zhang then blurted it out.
Editor Chen, standing to the side, was also amazed, but his love for his wife was still the greatest, so his gaze quickly returned to normal.
"Yes, Lao Zhang is right. Comrade Si Yan, you can rest assured to act. The company is legitimate, the script is legitimate, and the people are legitimate."
Editor Chen echoed this sentiment.
"I know that, but I'm worried about what if I don't act well? After all, I've never acted before."
Si Yan looked at Director Zhang with a worried expression.
"No, just be yourself when the time comes."
Director Zhang quickly said something upon seeing this.
Director Zhang was about to say something more when the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Boss, the dishes are ready. May we start serving?"
"Go ahead, everyone must be hungry, let's eat and talk."
As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, the waiters began serving dishes one after another.
The dishes tonight are very plentiful, not only are they delicious and visually appealing, but there are also several local specialties from Shanghai.
It's clear that the person who treated us to this meal put a lot of thought into it.
Xiao Yuan quietly tugged at Si Qingzhou's sleeve and whispered something.
"Qingzhou, Director Zhang is quite generous; this meal is unfortunately not cheap."
Xiao Yuan clicked his tongue slightly; this meal would easily cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
"This must be Comrade Si Yan's son. He is indeed a handsome young man, and I heard he is also a top student. He has a bright future ahead of him."
Director Zhang smiled and looked at Si Qingzhou.
"You flatter me. I've just started university and still have a long way to go."
Si Qingzhou raised her glass in return to Director Zhang.
Editor Chen, who was standing nearby, also wanted to get up and offer a toast, but when he saw his son looking dazed, he could only put down his glass and ask him in a low voice.
"Son, are you crazy? Wake up, don't embarrass yourself like this."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng's eyes gradually cleared, but the blush rising on his cheeks became more and more obvious.
However, no one paid attention to them; their attention was now drawn to the contract that Director Zhang had brought out.
"Comrade Si Yan, take a look, this is the contract."
"it is good."
Si Yan smiled and accepted the contract, while Si Qingzhou, who was standing next to her, also started reading it.
Si Yan was looking at the contract intently. As she looked down, a strand of her hair fell gently, startling the three young people present.
However, the three of them quickly noticed each other's gazes, and sparks were about to fly between their eyes, but this battle of wits was soon interrupted.
"Xiao Yuan, here you go. You have experience in this area, can you take a look?"
Si Qingzhou didn't see any problems after reading it, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to have Xiao Yuan take a look, since Xiao Yuan's parents were both lawyers.
"Ah, okay, let me see."
Xiao Yuan realized what was happening, and casually took the contract and started reading it.
A moment later, Xiao Yuan looked up and nodded at Si Qingzhou.
"No problem, you can sign it."
Upon hearing this, Si Yan took the contract and signed her name.
Director Zhang beamed with joy upon seeing this, and it was finally confirmed.
At this time, Si Yan was unaware that someone had already found their rented apartment.
Is this the place?
The man in black asked in a low voice.
"Let me see, the house number says number six, this is the place."
"Okay, Qiangzi, you keep an eye on things, let's hurry up."
Upon hearing this, Qiangzi quickly turned around and looked around.
"Brother Qing, I've checked it out, it's very safe."
"Click"
As soon as Qiangzi finished speaking, the man in black opened the door.
"The door is open, walk quietly."
Qiangzi nodded to Qingge, and the two of them tiptoed inside.
The two checked the bedroom separately, then met up again in the living room.
"Brother Qing, there's no one here."
Qiangzi said in a low voice.
"There's no one here either."
After Qing finished speaking, he looked around.
Suddenly his gaze was drawn to a glass of water on the table.
"Warm, judging from the looks of it, they just left not long ago."
After touching the water glass with his hand, Qing Ge quickly said.
"Then what do we do? They gave us a death order."
Qiangzi finished speaking and his eyes darted around.
"Brother Qing, why don't we wait a bit? I don't believe they won't come back."
"Alright, we'll each hide in a room. Remember, be flexible and act according to circumstances. We must complete the mission today."
"Yeah, Brother Qing, don't worry, there's no mission we brothers can't accomplish."
Qiangzi's eyes gleamed with smugness. They were just two ordinary people; what was so difficult about this task?
"Qiangzi, tone it down. I've told you never to let your guard down."
Brother Qing was extremely cautious, after all, he was dealing with people's lives, and if he wasn't careful, he would be finished sooner or later.
"okay, I get it."
Although he didn't agree with it, Qiangzi knew that listening to Brother Qing was the right thing to do.
After Qiangzi finished speaking, he went into Si Yan's bedroom and carefully hid inside the wardrobe. He held a sharp knife in his hand, waiting for the moment his owner opened the wardrobe door to stab her.
Seeing Qiangzi enter the room, Qingge followed him into Si Qingzhou's room.
The knives in the brothers' hands were exceptionally sharp in the moonlight.
Si Yan and her son are currently on their way home.
After dinner, Director Zhang gave Si Yan and the others a ride home, while Wang Chengyu, who was with them, quietly memorized Si Yan's address.
After getting out of the car and greeting Director Zhang and his wife, the mother and son prepared to open the door and go inside.
"Mom, I checked the filming schedule, it's during the National Day holiday, so I can go with you then."
As Si Qingzhou spoke, she prepared to open the door and go inside.
But Si Yan stopped him as soon as he inserted the key and turned it around.
"Qingzhou, the keyhole wasn't facing this way when you left the house. Someone tampered with the lock."
Si Yan frowned and pulled Si Qingzhou aside, speaking softly.
Upon hearing this, Si Qingzhou's expression changed. He stopped what he was doing and slowly pulled out the key.
He then turned around, grabbed Si Yan's hand, and walked out.
After all, who knows how many people have come into the house? There have been several cross-province family annihilation cases recently, so it's better to be cautious.
Logically speaking, given how loud their car ride home was, the two people hiding at home should have realized what was happening immediately.
However, the moment Si Yan discovered them, she used her divine sense to make them fall into a deep sleep.
So Si Yan took Si Qingzhou directly to the police station.
"Comrade, are you saying you suspect a thief broke into your house?"
"Yes, because I have a habit of turning the keyhole to the left when I close the door. But today, the keyhole was in a different position when we got home. Since it was night, we left for safety reasons."
Si Yan spoke softly, wearing a mask.
“Okay, we understand. I checked the address you registered. It’s not far from the police station. Luckily, the Third Brigade is available right now. I’ll have them accompany you there.”
Since it was only about ten minutes, and the police officer in charge of receiving Si Yan and her group happened to be a friend of the captain of the Third Brigade, he assigned the task to them.
Coincidentally, the Third Brigade had some trouble recently, was criticized in a notice, and had many of their investigation missions revoked.
Recently, the five men from the Third Brigade have been sitting in the office every day, and their butts are practically steaming from sitting so long.
"Jiang Rang, we have a job. Come over here for a moment."
"What kind of work? Tell me, are you going to make our Third Brigade clean up that area again?"
Jiang Rang lay on the chair with his eyes closed, looking languid and weak.
“I won’t let you clean. Come here and I’ll explain it to you in detail.”
The police officer waved to Jiang Rang, who frowned and looked impatient, but he still obediently got up from the chair and walked over.
"What kind of mission? Why is it so mysterious?"
Jiang asked awkwardly.
"It's an outing mission. Someone in Tong'an Lane reported that they suspect a burglar broke into their home. Why don't you go with them?"
"I'm not going. You can arrange someone else."
Jiang Rang looked disappointed. Such situations were common, but most of them were misunderstandings caused by the host's excessive suspicion.
"Hey, don't go. It's only ten minutes. Isn't your butt sore yet? Get up and walk around. Now that they've come to the police station, I can't just let them go home like this."
Seeing Jiang's nonchalant attitude, the police officer continued speaking.
"Besides, what if it's true? If a major case happens in our jurisdiction, we'll all be in trouble. The huge robbery and murder case that happened in the neighboring city of C still hasn't found the suspect."
"Alright, let's go. Where is the person who reported the crime?"
Jiang Rang really didn't want to listen to his friend's nagging anymore.
"Hehe, it's just ahead, hurry up and gather everyone together."
When the police officer saw that Jiang Rang had agreed, he immediately smiled happily and reminded Jiang Rang to organize the team before leaving.
"Everyone stop what you're doing, we have a task. Assemble in the lobby."
Jiang Rang tapped on the desk, and the tapping successfully brought the team members' attention back.
However, due to the previous punishment, everyone seemed a bit listless, but they still obediently walked towards the front hall.
"Comrade Si Yan, these four are members of the Third Brigade. The one on the left is their captain, Jiang Rang. Don't worry, they will accompany you home for a visit."
"Okay, thank you everyone."
Si Yan nodded her thanks.
"Let's go."
Jiang Rang took the lead and walked out.
