“Can you please tell me more about Zhao Zhao’s childhood.” Yan Ting asked after Zhu Xia sat down. “I want to know more about him.”

“What can’t be found with your status?”

“Your words are more vivid than a cold investigation report.” Yan Ting slowly shook his head. “I’m not willing to use this disrespectful way to learn about Zhao Zhao’s past.”

Zhu Xia’s face softened a lot. “What do you want to know?”

“What does he like and dislike…”

Zhu Xia stared at Yan Ting for a few seconds before suddenly smiling. “Boss, a child who grew up in a welfare home has no power to choose what they like or dislike.”

The schoolbags they wore were bought by the welfare home’s staff or sent by well-intentioned people and the quality was good. As long as the things were in good condition and clean, they liked it all.

Yan Ting couldn’t imagine how Li Zhao grew up.

“If, I mean if…” Zhu Xia’s smile became extremely bitter. “Zhao Zhao really likes to study. If there is a chance then let him finish university.”

Even she didn’t know what Zhao Zhao’s favourite things were.

“Zhao Zhao likes to eat sweets and hates carrots and konjac.” Yan Ting told her. “He likes vegetables with green leaves and doesn’t like things like lentils, string beans and okra. However, he likes tomatoes.”

Zhu Xia was stunned. In her memories, the common vegetables like lentils and green beans were often eaten at the welfare home. Every time, Zhao Zhao would eat them cleanly and never leave anything behind.

“Tomatoes…” She remembered that Zhao Zhao had a big appetite since he was a child. Once he came back from school, it wasn’t dinner time yet and he was hungry. The aunt who was cooking often called him and stuffed him with a rice ball or tomato.

Every time, Zhao Zhao squatted in the cooking group and ate everything cleanly. Then he would help the staff to sweep the floor or wash the vegetables. Every time tomatoes were brought into the yard, Zhao Zhao liked to go to the kitchen group. It turned out that it was to eat more tomatoes. At that time, she was busy taking the university entrance examination and busy going to university. She never carefully observed Zhao Zhao’s hobbies.

“Zhao Zhao also hates taro.” Yan Ting bowed his head, looking a bit lonely. “However, he is so good. No matter what the cook at home makes, he says it is delicious.”

“Sometimes I wish he was a bit more capricious and can make trouble, telling me he wants to buy a house or a car.” Yan Ting stated, “I think that Zhao Zhao should have what other children have. Regardless of whether it is financially or mentally, he must have it.”

Zhu Xia, “……”

Fortunately, he and Zhao Zhao were together and couldn't have children. Otherwise, he would raise a naughty child. How could he be so proud about letting his child be naughty?

After the meal, President Sun originally intended to invite Li Zhao and Lu Hao to relax at an entertainment venue. Then he thought about the relationship between Li Zhao and Mr Ting and dismissed the idea.

He wanted to take the two people to play in a clean place but he was afraid the matter would spread to Mr Ting’s ears and become dirty. Then he would have to bear the blame.

Forget it, forget it. He would bring them back to the company to his office.

Once they returned to the company, President Sun took out the script of a big movie that Strawberry Entertainment invested in. “The movie company has been preparing this for two or three years and the production team has basically been set. Lu Hao, if you are interested, the male lead is very suitable for you.”

Lu Hao took the script and read the introduction. This was a commercial movie with a more realistic theme. It was exciting in terms of the configuration and the script.

Strawberry Entertainment gave him such a big gift the moment he sighed to the company. It seemed they were really sincere.

“There is also a major investment in a historical TV series but this is somewhat similar to your character in Sky Song and won’t add much to your later career.” President Suns spoke honestly. “Lu Hao, your acting skills are very stable. Most of the time, stability is an advantage but in the current competitive environment, it will be a bit boring and reduce the audience’s expectations of you.”

“The future belongs to young people and of course, the future of the entertainment market also belongs to them.” President Sun took out another drama script from the drawer. “Would you like to try something lighter?”

“This is a double male lead drama.” President Sun turned to look at Li Zhao. “Zhao Zhao can also take a look.”

After deciding to sign Lu Hao, President Sun felt that this script was very suitable for Lu Hao and Li Zhao.

Li Zhao didn’t immediately open the script. “President Sun, when will the TV drama start shooting?”

“The drama should wait until the second half of the year.” President Sun laughed. “It can wait until you finish shooting the movie to start.”

Li Zhao nodded. “I will think about it.”

“Okay.” President Sun smiled gently. “Please think about it. Both of these roles will be reserved for you unless you specifically refuse.”

“By the way, Zhao Zhao. Aren’t you going to pick up a friend from work?” President Sun glanced at the time. “It is easy to get stuck in traffic on the way to Cang Huan. You should set off early to avoid being late.”

How could he let Mr Ting wait?

“Okay.” Li Zhao stood up and walked to the door, only to stop and turn to President Sun. “President Sun, how do you know where I am going to pick up my friend?”

“Aren’t you going to pick up Mr Ting?” President Sun noticed that he had exposed his feet and didn’t show any confusion on his face. He glanced at the assistant beside him and asked, “Xiao Cao, who mentioned that Zhao Zhao’s friend works in Cang Huan?”

“President Sun, I don’t remember clearly.” Cao Jia frowned. “Was it Da Ke or Xiaoyuan?”

“Did I remember incorrectly?” President Sun smiled at Li Zhao. “I’m old and have a bad memory.”

“You aren’t incorrect. My friend does work at Cang Huan.” Li Zhao smiled. “Then I’ll leave first. President Sun, Brother Hao, Assistant Cao, goodbye.”

“Goodbye.” President Sun personally sent Li Zhao to the corridor. “If there is anything then call me or Assistant Cao.”

Lu Hao looked at the enthusiastic attitude of President Sun and Assistant Cap toward Li Zhao and secretly thought that the high level people of Strawberry Entertainment truly respected the wise.

President Sun’s reminder was really useful. Before his car reached Cang Huan, it was blocked half way there. There was a car jam on the side road. Their cars were scraped together. Li Zhao didn’t have to get off to know that the car was badly scratched. It was a red famous sports car that scratched his car. It was the type that ordinary cars couldn’t wait to get away from when driving on the road.

“How did you drive?” A man in dark glasses got off the red sports car and tapped on the window of Li Zhao’s car. “Get off.”

Li Zhao lowered the window and his expression sank when he saw the face of the other person. It was that jerk who wanted to the gate of Ting Ting’s house last time and said bad things about Ting Ting.

Yao Yuguang’s face also changed after seeing who was in the car. He remembered the suitcase that was big enough to hold his body, the pain when Li Zhao punched him and the crazy look of Yan Ting who wanted to kill him. His head hurt, his feet were in pain and his entire body hurt.

There were so many cars on the street. Why did he end up provoking Li Zhao?

“A misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding.” Yao Yuguang was afraid and didn’t let Li Zhao speak. He jumped away from the car and fell to the ground, quickly taking out all the cash in his wallet and handing it to Li Zhao. “I don’t know how to drive and should pay all the compensation. If you have a WeChat then add me. I will transfer you money via WeChat. My cash might not be enough.”

The driver, Da Ke’s mood evolved from dumb and scared to shocked and dazed.

The moment the luxury car had scratched his car, he had inwardly felt desperate. Da Ke never expected that the car owner, who was previously so powerful, would have an 180 change in attitude after seeing Li Zhao’s face. Was this an illegitimate fan who deliberately scraped against Zhao Zhao’s car to attract his attention?

Oh, what a good idea.

Li Zhao tapped on his phone a few times before holding it out the window.

“What is this?” Yao Yuguang didn’t think it looked like a WeChat QR code.

“A receipt code.” Li Zhao’s face was blank. “Didn’t you want to transfer money to me? Go ahead.”

Yao Yuguang, “…..”

He just wanted to hug the thigh of Yan Ting’s boyfriend. He hadn’t expected it to be so difficult. However, he didn’t dare do anything. He honestly transferred a sum of money to the other person. Then the car window closed mercilessly and the car sprayed his face with exhaust.

Who was a pretty boy? This was clearly a white lotus. How could Yan Ting look at such a person?

The phone rang and someone texted him.

[I can cooperate with you to help you deal with Yan Ting.]

Yao Yuguang rolled his eyes.

[An idiot! Get lost!]

Letting him deal with Yan Ting, who stupid was he?

Only a fool would look down on him like that.

Baby Ting Ting stands in front of Sister Xia with a bowl of green vegetables: Zhao Zhao told me to eat less sugar and also made me eat more vegetables. Do you see the toys in my house? They were all given to me by Zhao Zhao.

Sister Xia: ?

Baby Ting Ting: So you can’t stop Zhao Zhao from playing with me.
