Chapter 312 Four out of five, first calculate to see parents (Ch 312)

Let me talk about two things.

Qi Jia and the other two had already arrived at the airport and were resting in the VIP lounge.

Just as he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was Qi Hongbo, who I hadn’t contacted for a long time.

As soon as the call was connected, a hearty laugh came from the other end. Qi Jia was a little confused and asked,

“Director Qi, you are smiling so happily, does it look like there is some happy news?”

Hearing Qi Jia’s question, Qi Hongbo smiled even more happily, and said happily without hiding anything,

“Thanks to your foundation, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be moving to the Cabinet Propaganda Department after the New Year.”

Qi Jia was very surprised. When the foundation was first established, Qi Hongbo did help a lot.

But he couldn’t understand. It was just a foundation. No matter how big its influence was, it would at most be icing on the cake for his political achievements. It wouldn’t be enough to make him a Beijing official, right?

He wanted to ask what was going on, but he finally held back. After all, curiosity kills the cat.

He is an artist, he should just focus on filming and not ask about the affairs of the court. He immediately complimented him on the phone and said,

“This is a great thing for us cultural workers. I’ll have to ask Director Qi to give us more guidance in our work in the future.”

“Okay, okay. In the future, my work will also need the support of excellent cultural workers like you.”

Qi Hongbo smiled happily, and after the two of them praised each other for a few words, they hung up the phone.

Qi Jia didn’t understand why he was promoted, but Qi Hongbo knew it clearly. The reason actually started with the “yin-yang contract” that shocked the whole country last year.

The “800 million fine” directly set a record for the largest fine in the entertainment industry, and also revealed a corner of the “Heavenly Palace” to ordinary people.

In the past, everyone only knew that being a star could earn a lot, but they didn’t have a specific concept until the “4-day 30 million” salary contract was exposed.

Everyone was shocked to find that even if their entire family worked for hundreds of years without eating or drinking, they might not earn as much as a celebrity could in a few hours.

Moreover, these celebrities earn so much money, but not only are they not satisfied, they even evade taxes.

On the contrary, I stay up late and work overtime like a horse to earn a few thousand yuan a month, and I still have to pay taxes honestly.

For a time, negative emotions in society gradually emerged, people’s values ​​changed, and they began to doubt the false proposition of hard work leading to wealth.

The higher-ups noticed this at the first opportunity, and for the sake of everyone’s physical and mental health, they began to find ways to guide everyone to release this negative energy.

The most direct way is to punish some and praise others, and strike hard at those in the entertainment industry who are seriously evading taxes.

Those who abide by the law are highly praised, and their stories are publicized about how they gradually became stars from extras earning a few hundred yuan. There are many such examples.

It’s just that Qi Jia didn’t pay much attention to it. After the news of his foundation came out, he was naturally quickly selected by the higher-ups. After further investigation, they found that Qi Jia was also a good publicity target.

First of all, he is grassroots enough, and secondly, he is clean. After all, he has just debuted for a short time and has not yet picked up any bad habits. Then, he is famous enough and his image on the Internet is relatively positive.

Under these circumstances, the official media went out to interview a small foundation that had just been established.

Qi Hongbo, who established the foundation, can be said to have picked up a big bargain. With the help of people behind the scenes, he will be able to happily move to Beijing to start work next year.

(As an aside, Liangliang was actually thrown in to prevent thunder, but thunder still exploded a few years later. I won’t go into details in the book for fear of being 404.)

“They haven’t come back yet?”

Qi Jia yawned and asked the assistant beside him,

The assistant was stuffing a piece of steak into his mouth and shook his head when he heard this.

He chewed quickly, stretched his neck, made a gurgling sound in his throat, swallowed it, and asked,

“Do you want me to ask Xiaoyu?”

“Aren’t you afraid of choking to death?” Qi Jia complained speechlessly, and then said: “No, I’m just asking casually.”

Just as he finished speaking, his phone started vibrating again. He took it out and saw that it was a video call invitation from Zhang Ruonan.

Qi Jia was about to answer the call when he saw the assistant nervously handing him the phone. It contained a message from Nie Xiaoyu.

“If Sister Ruonan’s family is around, tell Brother Qi not to let anything slip.”

Wow (Yu Qian)~ Good guy,

Qi Jia secretly felt lucky, and after adjusting his state of mind, he chose to answer the call calmly.

On the phone,

Zhang Ruonan had a sad face and looked at the group of people crowded behind her.

My cousin just mentioned her wish. It turns out that she and her friends are all fans of Qi Jia.

Therefore, I hope that on this happy day, I can hear my idol personally bless me.

Zhang Ruonan couldn’t fail to satisfy this little wish, so she had to send a video invitation to Qi Jia.

Although the older generation was not interested in chasing stars, they were quite interested in the young and handsome boss of Zhang Ruonan’s company as described by Zhang Shuyao.

So, one by one, they brought their small stools and sat in front of the phone, intending to see what was going on.

Nie Xiaoyu glanced at her phone, then winked at Zhang Ruonan. Zhang Ruonan saw it and winked at her too.

The two of them acted like they were an underground gang meeting, blinking their eyes so much that they seemed to be typing out Morse code.

“Why haven’t you answered yet? Are you busy?”

Zhang Shuyao asked nervously. Her girlfriends stood behind her, all with a look of anticipation and excitement.

After the meeting, Zhang Ruonan said with a relaxed look,

“Don’t worry, I’ll pick it up right away.”

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a beep, and then Qi Jia appeared on the phone.

“Boss, sorry to bother you, are you busy?”

Zhang Ruonan almost laughed at Qi Jia’s pretentiousness. She pushed away Zhang Shuyao’s excited slap on her shoulder.

Trying to sound like an employee talking to his boss, he said to Qi Jia,

Behind her, there was a murmur of discussion.

“This boy is good, he has a handsome face.”

“You can tell from the first glance that he has a strong body, unlike other celebrities who look frail at first glance.”

“I don’t think it’s good. He’s so strong. What if he can’t win the domestic violence fight in the future?”

Zhang Youke: “Second uncle, if you are sick, go get treatment immediately.”

“…”

This is for relatives, and this is for cousins ​​and girlfriends.

“Oh, so handsome!”

“I’m so happy I’m about to faint”

“I envy Yaoyao so much. If I could hear Qi Jia wish me a happy wedding, I would be willing to get married again.”

“…”

In the video, Qi Jia is holding an airport magazine and pretending to flip through it casually.

As the pages of the book are turned, a calm and restrained elegance is revealed.

After hearing Zhang Ruonan’s question, he put down the magazine and said calmly,

“I’m glad you’re not busy. Have you finished visiting your relatives?”

Then, as if he had just realized that there were many people watching over there, he showed a warm smile on his face and waved towards the phone.

“These are all your family members, right? Hello, everyone.”

Zhang Ruonan almost laughed so hard that her stomach trembled. She stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh fiercely, saying with a painful expression,

“Not yet, boss. My sister is your fan. She’s getting married tomorrow and wants to hear your blessing in person.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Shuyao couldn’t wait to get in front of the camera and said in surprise,

“Hello Qi Jia, I am Nan Nan’s sister. We are all old fans of yours. It’s nice to meet you.”

Qi Jia suddenly realized what was going on, and said with a smile,

“Hello, sister. I wish you a happy wedding tomorrow and a lifetime of happiness. I’m sorry I didn’t have time to prepare a gift. I’ll ask Ruonan to bring it to you next time.”

Zhang Shuyao’s earlobes turned red with joy. Upon hearing this, she waved her hands quickly.

“Don’t be so polite. I’m very happy to hear your blessing in person.”

Worried that he would get appendicitis from laughing if he continued, Zhang Ruonan quickly spoke up.

“Okay, okay, boss, I won’t bother you anymore. I will hand the gift over to my sister personally when the time comes. Bye.”

After saying that, he quickly reached out and hung up the phone, and a sigh of regret was heard behind him.

In the next half hour, Zhang Ruonan was surprised to find that no one urged her to get married anymore.

It seems that he feels that compared with Qi Jia, the blind dates he has are not as good as he thought.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ruonan left her relative’s house.

Zhang’s mother saw her out and whispered to her before she got in the car.

“Nannan, mom knows what you are thinking, but your boss is too good. You can’t control him. You’d better control your mind.”

Zhang Ruonan understood what Zhang’s mother meant, but she didn’t know why she suddenly had these thoughts. She thought,

“Is Qi Jia hard to control? I just pinched his face with one hand and it didn’t seem like he couldn’t control it.”
