Chapter 459: Becoming more and more optimistic about Gu Wei
After leaving Yang Mi’s house, Gu Wei got into his nanny car.
The chat just now had a big impact on him. Gu Wei is only 24 years old. He has no idea of getting married now, let alone having children.
He didn't know if what Yang Mi said was true or a joke, but judging from her expression, it was probably just a spur of the moment idea.
And it was still a few years later. Gu Wei just wanted to talk about the future later. He definitely couldn't agree to it now.
After a while, the car drove to the company.
Along the way upstairs, Gu Wei would meet employees from his company to say hello to him.
Now [Wei Tianxia] has very few employees left in other companies in the building where it is located. After Gu Wei bought it, he did not renew the contract with the old tenants. The expired companies moved out one after another, and finally only There are only a few companies left under Gu Wei's name.
However, as his companies gradually grow and expand, and the number of employees increases, it is not a waste to use an entire building.
If nothing else, [Wuyou Media] is currently developing at the fastest speed. The number of various staff and anchors is increasing. The originally planned layer is no longer enough. Just the one below All the companies on the first floor have moved out, and with some renovations, [Wuyou] staff can move in smoothly.
"Good morning, Senior Brother~"
After entering the door and walking towards the office, Meng Ziyi happened to come from the other direction and greeted Gu Wei with a look of surprise on his face.
She is wearing a white pullover sweater, dark blue jeans, and a high ponytail on her head. She has a palm-sized face with delicate and beautiful features, fair and tender skin, and looks full of youthfulness.
"Good morning, Ziyi!"
Gu Wei greeted her with a smile.
"Brother, I heard from my agent that the company has accepted me for the variety show [Flower Flower 3], and I will be on it with you. Is it true?"
"Yes, and you Nazha, too. Sister, let’s go together.”
Gu Wei nodded.
“Great!”
Meng Ziyi looked happy.
"[Hua Shao] I've watched the first two seasons. If I were to be on the show by myself, I wouldn't be able to beat other stars. And I'm not famous now, so I will definitely be bullied by then.
With you and me I feel more at ease now that Sister Nazha is here."
Gu Wei was a little funny.
"Don't worry, you don't have to fight with others in this period. I can just treat it as a publicly funded trip. I guarantee that you will have a good time."
"Yeah, I'll listen to you. Brother’s.”
After chatting casually with Meng Ziyi for a few more words, Gu Wei returned to the office and started his day's work.
In Liu Yifei’s restaurant.
Gu Wei, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli were eating together.
At the last celebration party of [Tang Detective 2], Gu Wei promised Liu Yifei to be a guest. Of course, the main reason was Liu Xiaoli's invitation.
When he returned to the capital after filming "You Are My Glory", he communicated with Liu Yifei about the time. It happened that everyone had more convenient time today. In the afternoon, Gu Wei came out of the company and brought some gifts and went directly to the door. .
This is his second time here as a guest, and he is very familiar with the business.
After entering, I sat down in the living room and chatted with Liu Yifei for a while, listening to her share about the books she had read recently.
Because she was at home, Liu Yifei was wearing a light brown striped home clothes, comfortable and casual, her hair was simply tied up, and she was holding a fat orange cat in her arms. She was holding a book While talking, one hand continued to stroke the cat.
I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t treat Gu Wei as an outsider. When Gu Wei came in, he found that Liu Yifei had no makeup at all and was almost bare-faced. Maybe she was in this state when she was at home, but last time Nazha followed her She also wore light makeup when we came together.
Of course, because Liu Yifei has such a good foundation, even without makeup, her clean face is still intoxicatingly beautiful, and she looks more approachable.
While the two were chatting, Liu Xiaoli was busy in the kitchen. After dinner, Liu Xiaoli invited the two of them to eat together.
"Gu Wei~ Auntie heard from Sissi that she was going to your charity fund and running charity activities with the staff.
I am very supportive of her attitude. But I heard that the places where your fund donated are all in remote mountainous areas, and the conditions there will be very poor."
"Mom"
Liu Yifei was a little unhappy when she heard her mother say this. .
Gu Wei smiled.
“Auntie, don’t worry.
My family’s charity foundation is now cooperating with the government in remote mountainous areas, and the donation projects are mainly teaching buildings.
I have already cooperated with a Sister Fei said yes and also said hello to the foundation.
She used to follow the staff and donate some tables, chairs, benches and learning supplies to the school, not to support teaching. , so even if I go to the local area, I will just follow it for inspection and will not stay for too long
And she used to be with my parents, so the conditions would definitely not be too bad. "
After listening to his words, Liu Xiaoli showed a satisfied smile.
"Auntie is relieved if you say that."
"I told you before, there is Not only are the filming conditions more difficult now, I am such an adult and I still have to worry."
Liu Yifei muttered quietly on the side.
"My mother is worried when my son travels thousands of miles away, but I am not worried when you go out to film?"
"Sister Yifei, my aunt is also doing this for your own good. I rarely come home when I am working and filming outside, and my mother also comes home from time to time. Will call me, I can understand this very well, auntie."
"Look at Gu Wei, how capable he is of being a parent."
As she said this, Liu Xiaoli turned to follow Gu. Wei complained.
“My Sissi was very obedient when she was a child, but in recent years she has become less and less obedient, and she doesn’t listen to me much anymore”
"When did I become disobedient?"
Liu Yifei frowned and said dissatisfied.
Gu Wei glanced at Liu Yifei and winked at her.
“Auntie, Sister Yifei has always been a very obedient girl in my heart. When I was at home, she didn’t obey my parents as much as she did, and she was quite rebellious.
But then I When a person goes to college and leaves the protection of his parents and enters a new environment, he grows up quickly and understands the painstaking efforts of his parents.
So I think you can actually let go more sometimes. Sister Yifei is not a child. I believe she will grow faster when she faces more things alone. "
Liu Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully after hearing Gu Wei's words.
Liu Yifei on the other side cast a grateful look at him.
Gu Wei smiled He didn't say anything else.
He actually didn't feel that his words would be of much use to Liu Xiaoli. It takes a day to freeze three feet, and the thinking patterns developed over a long period of time cannot be changed with just one or two sentences. Yes, everyone knows the truth, but only a few can really do it
It just happened that at the right time, his few words could alleviate Liu Yifei's embarrassment.
"What you said makes sense. Maybe I protected Sissi too well before."
Liu Xiaoli turned to look at her daughter on the other side.
"Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good."
Liu Yifei also resigned.
The three of them chatted while eating, ranging from the work of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei to their daily lives. Gu Wei talked about filming and things in the company, and Liu Xiaoli looked at him with more and more satisfaction.
“By the way, Gu Wei, I saw you promoting the [Douyin] APP on Weibo at the beginning of this month, and I downloaded it. It’s really interesting.
But there seems to be little content in it. It seems to be a new short video APP that has not been out for a long time. I joined the filming team before and saw that their staff watched [Kuaishou] more."
Liu Yifei took a mouthful of food and put it in her mouth, casually mentioned something.
“Indeed, [Douyin] was only launched in September this year. It is a pure newcomer in the short video field. It is also because I have shares in that company that I work so hard to help promote it.”
Gu Wei explained.
“Can’t you tell, you still invest in Internet companies?” Liu Yifei was a little surprised.
"It's not surprising. Apart from the entertainment industry, I have made a lot of investments in other industries, but I just don't talk about it."
"It's amazing. , Anyway, I think it’s okay to ask me to act in a different industry. If I were asked to invest in any other company, I would be completely confused, and the money invested would be wasted.”
"Haha~ It's okay. In addition to being an actor, I am also a businessman. I usually pay more attention to other profitable industries.
Sister Yifei, you focus on your acting career. We focus on different things. "
"Xiao Gu, what is the name of the Internet company of which you are a shareholder?"
Liu Xiaoli, who was listening to their chat, also asked curiously.
“Auntie, that company is called [ByteDance].”
"[ByteDance]?"
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly, but for a moment I can’t remember who I heard it from before or where I saw it.
Gu Wei smiled and did not explain anything.
The dinner didn't take too long. It was a simple family dinner and no one drank.
After eating, Gu Wei sat for a while. It was getting late, so he stood up and left.
Liu Yifei sent him out of the house, and the two of them walked on the path in the villa area, heading towards where Gu Wei's nanny car was parked.
“Thank you today~”
“Thank you for what?”
Liu Yifei smiled and turned to look at Gu Wei.
“Thank you for speaking for me in front of my mother.
Maybe it’s because I was too tightly controlled when I was a child, but now I do sometimes subconsciously escape from my mother’s control.
< br>Of course, I also know that she is like this because she loves me. I understand how difficult it is for her and I love her equally, but you know that I just want to be free most of the time."
"I understand how you feel. , Sister Yifei.
In fact, there is nothing wrong between aunt and you. Maybe there is a lack of in-depth communication between you.
One more thing, in fact, if you want to get rid of the control of your parents, the best way is not to fight against them, but to become excellent yourself.
When you really make some achievements, your parents will feel that you have grown up, they will be proud of you, and they will not restrict you excessively."
"You I understand what you said, and I will work hard."
After sending Gu Wei off, Liu Yifei returned home, and Liu Xiaoli put on her glasses and sat on the sofa, looking at her phone intently.
"Gu Wei sent you off?"
Hearing the sound of her daughter opening the door and entering the house, Liu Xiaoli asked without turning her head.
"Well, his car is parked outside.
What are you looking at, Mom?"
Liu Yifei came over, sat next to Liu Xiaoli, and asked curiously .
Liu Xiaoli raised her head, took off her glasses, and looked at her daughter.
"When we were eating just now, Gu Wei said that he was a shareholder of the Internet company. I remembered where I saw it."
Liu Yifei didn't expect her mother to mention this. Somewhat puzzled.
“What’s wrong with that company?”
“The problem is that that company is not simple!”
"Not simple?"
Liu Yifei didn't understand what her mother meant.
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's careful explanation.
“Do you know that software I always use to read news on my mobile phone?”
“Um~ I remember it’s called [Today’s Headlines], right?”
Liu Yifei thought about it, and she still had an impression of this. Liu Xiaoli usually likes to read news, so she uses this APP on her mobile phone more frequently.
“Yes, this [Today’s Toutiao] company is called [ByteDance], which is the Internet company in which Gu Wei has a stake.”
“Ah~ So, this This company is not unknown, it is quite large!”
Liu Xiaoli shook her head.
“It’s not that small, I remembered that I saw news about [ByteDance] in the financial section a few days ago, and I just checked it on my mobile phone, and it is indeed the case.”
"What news?"
She said this and Liu Yifei became even more curious.
“This company called [ByteDance] just completed the D round of financing a few days ago, with a valuation of US$12 billion and a financing amount of US$1 billion.”
Liu Xiaoli’s tone was calm. said.
“12 billion? US dollars?”
When Liu Yifei heard the number her mother said, her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly with an expression of disbelief.
"Mom, did you say the wrong unit? Is the valuation really 12 billion US dollars?"
"Of course it is, I read the report carefully, [ByteDance 】 is the most potential unicorn company in the domestic Internet industry. Many people in the industry are optimistic that it can become an Internet giant comparable to Tengxun and Alibaba in the future. "
"Gu Wei is really awesome. I think he is. Investment in other industries is just a small matter, but it is not enough to be a shareholder of such a large enterprise."
Liu Yifei now thought of what Gu Wei said casually at the dinner table, and suddenly felt that this good friend was under her The image in my mind is a little bigger.
Liu Xiaoli also sighed.
“It’s really amazing. To become a shareholder of such a large Internet company, brains, vision, capital, and connections are all indispensable. Originally, I always thought that this young man Gu Wei was very good, but I didn’t expect that I still underestimated him.
Among the younger generation in the country, he can almost be regarded as the top one.
The piano player that someone wanted to introduce in those years is nothing compared to him. ."
"Haha~ The more powerful he is, the better. With such a friend, I will have the face to speak out in the future."
Liu Yifei thought very simply and said cheerfully.
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter with complicated eyes.
"By the way, you said you were going to Gu Wei's charity foundation. When do you plan to leave?"
"Probably early next month. I made an appointment with Nazha. When will she leave?" We will go to Paris to watch the show tomorrow. Let’s wait for her to come back.”
When Liu Xiaoli heard Nazha’s name, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn’t.
He just asked Liu Yifei to be polite and behave better when meeting Gu Wei's parents.
"Don't worry, who wouldn't like your daughter so pretty? Besides, Gu Wei brings so many gifts every time he comes to our house, and he respects you very much.
I will definitely reciprocate the favor. I have a good relationship with his parents, and I have already thought about what gifts to bring when we meet for the first time.”
Liu Xiaoli feels that although her daughter is different from what she thought, the effect seems to be similar.
She had promised Liu Yifei not to talk about being with her and Gu Wei before, but now it was hard to say anything because she found out that they were richer.
Although she is very optimistic about the young man Gu Wei, what happens in the future can only depend on their own development and let it take its course
