After Tian Li closed her eyes and exaggerated the other party’s potential to enter the entertainment circle, Liang Jinze calmly reacted. The other party was asking for something.

“So?” Liang Jinze asked with a smile.　

Tian Li quickly expressed her thoughts, “Can I ask you to play a role…?”

Liang Jinze stood in silence, thinking, is this girl really in the circle?

He hadn’t acted for a long time, but he still can’t say no when he sees the other person’s watery eyes. He’s not Lei Feng[1], just watching the other person carrying luggage, holding their child, and thinking about work things, he refused to refuse her request.

As he is now, it must be just a supporting role. Just saying his name at that time, it shouldn’t cause much attention.

Therefore, Liang Jinze asked, “What kind of role?”

Tian Li just saw a private restaurant on the roadside and said, “It’s lunch time. Are you hungry? I invite you to dinner. We will talk while we eat so that we can also discuss the issue of salary.”　

What a wit, after eating, would this person be embarrassed to refuse her offer?

So, after three of them entered the restaurant, they suddenly became the focus of others.　

A lot of people secretly looked at them with sympathy.　

How much worse the girl’s situation could be? Why can’t her companion think of a way to help her? Letting her carry a big bag, pulling a suitcase, and carrying a child, the man beside her didn’t even take anything.

As an actor for so many years, Liang Jinze was still very sensitive to the eyes of others. He immediately reacted to what happened and sat down with Tian Li a little bit embarrassedly. It turned out that the girl on the opposite side did not care about others. Looking over, she put the luggage and the child beside her, and then handed him the menu, “You can order whatever you want.”　

Liang Jinze felt that he was being reared.

Because he felt that the other party’s life shouldn’t be stable at the moment. Liang Jinze did not prepare to ask the other party to order, he ordered a few dishes that looked good, and then handed Tian Li the menu, “Look, do you have any favorite food?”　

Tian Li took the menu, added an eggplant with minced meat, a stir-fried seasonal vegetable, and handed it to the waiter next to their table.　

After that, Liang Jinze heard the other party say, “Actually, this role is a little special.”

“Huh?” Liang Jinze listened patiently.

“Because there is only one audience for this character.” Tian Li continued.

Tian Li sighed, “I just divorced today and I wanted to take the child with me and change his name, but the staff said that the father of the child was required to agree. But the father of this child took this name because they were superstitious and could only agree to what a master had said. Then it’s no exaggeration for you to pretend to be a master. You just have to go there once and say that you are a master and you request a change of name for this child.”

“So, you want me to pretend to be a master and let your ex-husband and family agree to change his name?” Liang Jinze understood the other party’s intention.　

“I know it’s a little abrupt, but this one is definitely not a fraud. I’m willing to give a salary.” Tian Li explained.

Liang Jinze looked at the woman in front of her, she had a kind of vitality that could not be described. He originally thought that the child was her relative, and did not expect it to be her son. She was also just divorced, with such a small child. Carrying so much luggage, they should be looking for a place to live. It stands to reason, their life now should be full of sadness, however, the other party was full of vitality from beginning to end and there was a feeling that he was unable to determine.

Liang Jinze didn’t lack money. When something happened, he couldn’t turn around and resolutely withdrew. He wasn’t a person who was addicted to enjoyment either, so he didn’t use his money that much.　

Tian Li saw that he didn’t speak, so she continued, “At that time, you only need to say two sentences, nothing else needs you to do more.”　

Liang Jinze thought about it and asked, “What was the child’s original name?”　

Tian Li tiredly said, “Liu Mang…”　

Liang Jinze glanced at the little boy next to him. He was already able to imagine that, under this name, he could attract the mockery of the people around him from kindergarten to university years.

“Then change it.” Liang Jinze said.

By that time, the dishes they ordered have already come up one after another.　

“Let’s eat first. Can I have your number for a while? I haven’t found a house and can only do this after I settle down.”　

“Yes.” Liang Jinze said.

Tian Li gave a bowl to the little Aze who had not spoken. The bowl was mixed with meat and vegetable rice, and then a spoon was needed for him to eat.　

Xiao Aze wasn’t picky about food at all, and ate it with a big mouthful.　

Tian Li was also hungry, she caught the meat in the bowl, and when she bit down, she found that it was completely different from the taste she imagined.　

The taste of MSG bean paste …

Tian Li instantly lost her appetite, but since all it was a treat, she must pretend that it was delicious, so Tian Li continued to eat it.　

None of the three people spoke, so their meal was quickly finished.

Liang Jinze paid the bill when Tian Li wiped Xiao Aze’s face.　

Tian Li was a little embarrassed, she asked someone for help so she must’ve paid, but instead let the other party pay.　

Tian Li had wanted to give Liang Jinze the money.　

Tian Li’s hand was completely out of touch with her. If one would look at these hands, they would think that it’s the hands of a hard worker all year round.

However, Liang Jinze had a notion in his mind. This person would be extraordinary in the future.

“I thank you for this meal. After all, you are my employer. The next time we meet, you can pay me back.”

The two exchanged numbers and Liang Jinze sent Tian Li to a place where she waited for a taxi. He also helped Tian Li put her luggage in the trunk.

It can be said that it was very Lei Feng.

Tian Li took a taxi and returned to her high school. Eight years later, the school had also changed its appearance. Tian Li just glanced around in the car, and then arrived at the community she was going to.

With the experience of that year, Tian Li quickly rented a house.　

Two rooms, one hall, one kitchen and one bathroom.

The landlord was very attentive and cleaned the house thoroughly.　

The house was well lit, and the entire living room was bright enough. Although it was still empty, it still feels like home.

When she was in high school, she rented a single room and shared the house with the landlord.

Therefore, in this situation, Tian Li was very satisfied.

Taking Xiao Aze to tidy up the house briefly, Tian Li cleaned up the kitchen, “Aze, mom is ready tonight!”

This was the first meal she made for her son, Tian Li couldn’t be more serious.

She made a lot of fried Pleurotus eryngii[2], meatball soup and fried oil wheat dishes eaten by her son at noon.

Tian Li looked at her son’s delicious food, and suddenly remembered that at noon, the fried meat of Pleurotus eryngii was 18 yuan, the meatball soup was 15 yuan, and the oil wheat dish was 12 yuan.

Tonight, the Pleurotus eryngii cost 3 yuan, the lean meat cost a total of 13 yuan, and the oil wheat cabbage only two yuan.

Even if she added the cost of oil and other spices, it will definitely not exceed twenty yuan…　

Tian Li, while thinking about how to make money, suddenly had an idea.
