Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

Ms. Liu was quite apprehensive before she came.

No matter how good her daughter seemed to her, the approval of the in-laws is necessary; otherwise, Qi Hao might have to choose between his mother and his wife.

And once that choice is made, no matter which side he picks, there won't be any good days ahead.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi was completely satisfied with An Feng, holding her hand tightly.

An Feng seemed very familiar with Mrs. Qi as well.

Ms. Liu had to admit she felt jealous, this little girl really followed Qi Hao back home behind her back.

No wonder they chose Jinmen as the filming location for "Those Years."

She wondered how many times they had met before.

And the two of them even went to Jinmen TV Station together to record programs, this Hu Shan worked at the TV station.

Now thinking back, everything seems suspicious.

Hmph, am I the only one kept in the dark?

However, Ms. Liu's attention was quickly attracted by Qi Hao's house.

Is this a two-entry courtyard?

As if she hadn't seen a courtyard house before, some small three-entry courtyards aren't even six or seven hundred square meters.

This must be over a thousand square meters, right?

It's not considered small even among three-entry courtyards, yet it has only been made into two entries.

It actually covers an area of 973 square meters, just short of a thousand.

But when you think about how several cars can be parked outside, and the spaciousness of the first entry, which is partitioned into a parking section...

Plus, the area in front of the main courtyard's side rooms is equivalent to having a small courtyard with artificial hills and water features, it makes sense where the area went.

The overall layout is easily visible.

Originally, Ms. Liu told herself that since Mrs. Qi gave her daughter face, she should also give Qi Hao face, which is called mutual respect.

However, she couldn't help but ask:

"Why are there so many parking spots, the front half is almost a garage, even parking inside the courtyard?"

An elegant courtyard house, turned into something unclassy.

Who would turn half the side rooms into a garage?

"No choice, Qianqian and I have many cars, nanny car, business car, sedan, sports car, I even plan to buy an off-roader and another sports car..."

Qi Hao had no choice.

Having many cars at home is a problem too.

He alone has two sedans, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Santana 2000.

BYD is also sending him a new model M6 MPV and an F6 sedan for him to try.

If it weren't for Qi Hao currently being the spokesperson for Passat, BYD might follow Maotai and Penguin, starting to seek his endorsement for cars.

No matter if the endorsement fee is higher, they are all on the same side.

An Feng also owns quite a few cars.

Even with just two cars here, the six parking spots at the entrance are far from enough for the two of them.

There are so few people in the family that there aren't enough to fill all the rooms, so some of the side rooms were simply converted into a garage, and the rest into a tea room, small kitchen, dining room to entertain ordinary guests.

What if they have many children in the future, and both sets of parents come over for ease of care, needing an increasingly number of rooms?

That needn't worry.

Look at whose houses are on either side, if necessary, just spend a little more money to buy them over.

"Qianqian likes what cars, let Haohao buy them for you, he's your boyfriend, don't save his money."

Mrs. Qi fully supports the young couple unconditionally.

Instead of educating the future daughter-in-law to be frugal before getting married, it's rather heartwarming to say it like this.

Ms. Liu also realized shamefully that she was making a fuss over nothing.

"In the future, if a private space is needed for business negotiations, you can use the tea room at home, the door on the other side is the nanny room and household room, the garage has not reached the edge, there's also an equipment room in there..."

Qi Hao briefly introduced.

The east and west wing rooms are three big rooms each, made into guest suites, dance room, gym, audio-visual room, kitchen, dining room, etc.

The main rooms, consisting of three big rooms, are the living room and bedroom suite.

One side of the two side rooms is remodeled into study suites, one for Qi Hao and one for An Feng, the front area is a small garden.

The other side's two side rooms are storage rooms, with a small villa for Ao Bai at the front.

Actually, the wing rooms serve more as a tea room.

Generally, courtyard houses turn the side rooms into large kitchens and dining rooms.

But Qi Hao and An Feng consider themselves more.

The main kitchen is closer to the main house, with a dedicated enclosed corridor connecting them, convenient for eating and sleeping.

Even if regular friends or business partners come, they can completely handle it on the first entry side.

There's a restroom, small kitchen, tea room, dining room.

Unless it's Old Tian, Wang Baoqiang, or Wu Jing, else they can't enter the second entry courtyard.

"It's pretty reasonable, as long as you like it yourselves."

Ms. Liu stopped pointing fingers.

From the current function division of the courtyard, it's clear there's a lot of her daughter's input, the couple has already discussed, why be a jerk?

If they can arrange a guest room for her to occasionally visit to accompany her grandkids, she's already satisfied.

"It's just too empty, how about I help you add some furniture? Like those solid wood ones, get more similar ones, it's better with consistent style."

Seeing that her in-law had no objections, Mrs. Qi planned to give some benefits, so she wouldn't be seen as a stingy mother-in-law.

"Mom, do you know how much this set of furniture costs?"

Qi Hao had an odd expression.

"How much?"

Mrs. Qi didn't care, the old couple didn't have many places to spend money, even retired they had pension.

No matter how much money, in the end, isn't it all for Qi Hao and Hu Shan.

They don't favor either Qi Hao or Hu Shan, they've both set aside money for their weddings.

But they wouldn't use Qi Hao's money to subsidize Hu Shan.

The money Qi Hao previously gave to the family, most of it was saved, and now is the time to give back to Qi Hao.

"This set is eight million!"

Qi Hao patted the long desk in front of him, feeling various emotions.

"Eight million?"

Don't get it wrong, the one who wants to beat Qi Hao is not Mrs. Qi, she is trying hard to hold back.

The one who can't believe it is Ms. Liu.

"I didn't spend money, it was sent from Penguin, saying it's an early congratulatory gift for my new home, and many people in the investment circle sent gifts, all placed in the guest room over there."

Actually, it doesn't exist for a small shareholder of a company to receive such expensive gifts when moving to a new home.

The main reason is that the shares of Penguin in Qi Hao's hands are not a small amount, and he owns shares of more than one company, which has woven a network of relationships for him.

Moreover, Penguin plans to layout the cultural and entertainment business and wants to cooperate with Qi Hao's side.

Gift-giving is an art.

Many maneuvers are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Directly giving cash so you can fill under your bed and sleep on it is a very low method.

Giving a set of solid wood furniture... how cultured.

This is the behavior of high society.

"Don't randomly accept people's gifts, accepting others' favors makes it hard to be assertive later."

The son bought a set of eight million furniture, Mrs. Qi had no objections.

She also knows her son can earn money.

If you can make money, no one will say anything about you spending it.

But hearing her son talk about accepting gifts, she became uneasy, this is a failure in her education.

"Mom, don't worry, they are business partners, this small gift is nothing, it's returning a favor from before."

Qi Hao obediently explained, not daring to show off casually.

Penguin was now caught in the 3Q battle, facing attacks from the entire network, the stock price plunged, others were letting go and leaving, but only Qi Hao firmly stood by Penguin's side.

Not only did he use all the dividend money to repurchase Penguin stocks, he even directly spent cash to buy another 10 million shares of Penguin stock, boosting from the original 6.6 million shares to 16.6 million shares.

As a public figure, Qi Hao's move had a huge impact on stabilizing the confidence of shareholders.

The pressure on Penguin greatly reduced.

That's why they inquired about what kind of wood Qi Hao used for his renovations.

Decisively sent a set of finished furniture.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the number of Qi Hao's rooms, so the furniture they sent was a bit insufficient.

As for the subsequent cooperation, Qi Hao will not compromise just because Penguin sent him a set of furniture.

Business is business.

Whether it's Penguin or the newly acquainted Lei Jun, he has no need to flatter them.

He is an investor, a father, a boss.

Whether it's Ma Huateng or Lei Jun, they are just workhorses to make him money.

Zhonghao Entertainment indeed wants to create a video site, but they do not plan to cooperate with Penguin.

Firstly, there is a gap in philosophy between the two parties.

Unless Penguin agrees to let Zhonghao Entertainment have the main control and management responsibilities.

Secondly, video websites are everywhere now, in the context of fighting against piracy, one after another is going bankrupt and selling off, Zhonghao Entertainment can easily acquire some at a low price.

There is simply no need to cooperate with Penguin.

Relying on capital? Enjoy the shade?

Qi Hao himself is now capital too, and the sole shareholder of Zhonghao Entertainment is Donghao Venture Capital—most of Qi Hao's industries are backed by Donghao Venture Capital.

Donghao Venture Capital now holds stocks worth several billion.

These stocks are all "system-selected," and will definitely become more valuable in the future, by then the assets of Donghao Venture Capital will not only be billions.

It could even be hundreds of billions or thousands of billions.

Even if the special effects company and video site are not profitable, Qi Hao can still afford them.

This is also an industry ecology.

It doesn't need to make money for me, but I must have it, otherwise, I will easily fall into a disadvantageous position in the overall competition.

"Forget it, let's buy you home appliances instead."

Mrs. Qi sighed, this kind of furniture she couldn't afford.

Ms. Liu also couldn't afford it, unless she used money from her daughter to buy it.

But what's the point of that?

Both of them decisively gave up on the furniture option and began discussing what home appliances to buy for the new house.

Appliances can also be luxury items.

For example, German Gaggenau, said to inherit hundreds of years of tradition, focusing on creating luxury models, every product is like a piece of art, making people love it.

But what's the use?

For living at home, what's the point of buying something so good?

Many times, Chinese appliances best understand Chinese people's usage scenarios and habits.

Go for a FOTILE range hood.

Of course, it's not entirely about domestic brands, it still mainly depends on the brand and cost-performance ratio, the two elderly ladies discussing intensely, Hu Shan also joined in as a consultant.

Qi Hao and An Feng quietly slipped away.

The major items are left for the two elderly ladies to handle, allowing them to let down their guard while they discuss.

The small items are for them to arrange themselves.

Like whether to buy a soft or hard mattress for the bedroom.

What wattage to buy for the small study room's lamp, and whether there are any new technologies for adjusting the light and color...

Whether to have a double sofa in the study room for sitting together comfortably.

A single sofa for two seems a bit tiring.

Whether to equip two computers for playing games together.

Whether to make a large cat climbing frame for the cat.
