Chapter 67

Jia Jingwen's Decision: An Unintentional Remark

Since filming wrapped on "Little Li Flying Dagger," Zhou Yan has never proactively called Jia Jingwen.

Jia Jingwen always took the initiative to call him.

"Are you feeling a little guilty?" Jia Jingwen teased.

"A little," Zhou Yan readily admitted.

"Hmph," Jia Jingwen chuckled, feeling even happier inside.

You treated them like that back then, and now you feel guilty?

"You called just to wish me a Happy New Year?"

"Yes," Zhou Yan replied, "that's exactly what it was about."

"To be honest, have you missed me?" Jia Jingwen felt nervous.

Zhou Yan thought about it seriously for a moment.

"It's impossible not to think about you. I do think about you occasionally." Zhou Yan wasn't just thinking about Jia Jingwen, but also Jiao Enjun, Xiao Qiang, Ren Quan, Yu Feihong, Wu Jing, and others.

To be precise, it refers to the entire cast and crew of "Little Li Flying Dagger".

While filming "Young Justice Bao", Zhou Yan often reminisced about his time on "Little Li Flying Dagger".

I will naturally think of everyone.

"At least you have a conscience," Jia Jingwen thought, for a moment wanting to cry.

Fortunately, she was a professional actress and managed to suppress her inner turmoil.

"I'll come to see you after the New Year," Jia Jingwen said, already eager to see Zhou Yan.

"I just finished filming this movie in April, so come back in April."

"Okay," Jia Jingwen nodded.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Wait!" Jia Jingwen called out hurriedly.

"Happy New Year," Jia Jingwen said before hanging up the phone.

Zhou Yan listened to the busy tone on the phone, looked at his phone, and couldn't help but smile.

Then, Zhou Yan called Xiao Qiang.

Like Jia Jingwen, Zhou Yan also extended New Year's greetings and best wishes.

But compared to Jia Jingwen, Xiao Qiang was much more explicit and daring.

"Xiao Yan, your sister misses you."

Zhou Yan remained calm; this woman was too good at acting.

He didn't know whether the other person was being insincere or genuine.

"If you miss me, then come find me."

"They say they want to, but they don't take any action."

"There's absolutely no sincerity involved."

Xiao Qiang laughed happily upon hearing Zhou Yan's words.

"I'll come to see you once I'm done with this busy period," Xiao Qiang said. She had been very busy lately.

The immense popularity of "Little Li Flying Dagger" also benefited her.

Various endorsements followed one after another.

So she's been busy with endorsement deals lately.

"OK."

"Xiao Yan, have you ever thought about developing your career in Taiwan?" Xiao Qiang asked.

"No," Zhou Yan shook his head decisively; the market in Taiwan was too small.

"What a pity," Xiao Qiang said with some disappointment.

"Why do you say that?" Zhou Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You're incredibly popular in Taiwan right now. If you could develop your career here, you'd definitely grow faster and better than you did on the mainland." Among the entire "Little Li Flying Dagger" cast, besides Jiao Enjun, Zhou Yan was the most popular.

Zhou Yan's handsome face and his cool moves in the drama attracted a large number of female fans.

Half of all secondary school students in Taiwan (junior and senior high school) are his fans.

Girls like his face.

The boys liked his cool swordsmanship.

In addition, Zhou Yan has gained a group of older female fans.

"That's not necessarily true," Zhou Yan said dismissively when he heard Xiao Qiang say that.

He was also aware of his immense popularity in Taiwan.

Song Yuanfei even called him a while ago.

Besides the publication of "The Swordsman" and royalties, Song Yuanfei also revealed an important piece of information.

The Shanghai People's Publishing House opened up sales channels in Taiwan, allowing his books to be sold in the island region.

"Not necessarily, your book is selling like hotcakes here," Xiao Qiang provided an important piece of information.

"I even helped promote your business on the show!"

As Zhou Yan's good friend, Xiao Qiang naturally wanted to support his career, so she had been paying close attention to this matter.

During a television interview, the host asked her what she had been doing lately.

Xiao Qiang answered directly: Read the martial arts novels by [Nanhua].

Xiao Qiang helped promote and publicize Zhou Yan through her own actions.

In fact, Jia Jingwen had done something similar, but she never made it public.

"Thank you, Sister Qiang!" Zhou Yan said gratefully.

"A verbal thank you."

"So how will you thank me?"

"&¥%#@*"!

"Fine, I'll wait for you!" Zhou Yan showed no fear whatsoever.

Teacher Xiao is the type who is both bad at something and loves to have fun.

"You just wait," Xiao Qiang said harshly before hanging up the phone.

……

"Mom, there's something I want to tell you," Jia Jingwen said as she walked out of her room and found her mother.

"What's the matter?" Jia Jingwen's ancestral home is Tianjin. When she was young, she followed her father to the mainland to do business.

Their family retains traditional customs from mainland China, such as staying up all night on New Year's Eve.

Grandmother Jia is still awake.

"I want to develop my career in mainland China," Jia Jingwen said, expressing her thoughts.

"Why do you suddenly want to develop your career in mainland China?" Grandmother Jia asked, somewhat puzzled.

"While filming in mainland China this time, I discovered that the mainland is full of opportunities and has a broader prospect than Taiwan."

"Moreover, the mainland has been developing very rapidly recently, changing with each passing day, and will definitely be the center of Chinese entertainment in the future."

Jia Jingwen shared her thoughts with her mother-in-law.

"Jingwen, you're all grown up now. I won't interfere with your future. Do whatever you want. I support you," said Grandmother Jia, who was very understanding.

They would give everything for their children.

The events of the past few years had left her exhausted, but she never blamed her daughter.

She has always been her daughter's strongest support.

Looking at Grandmother Jia in front of her, Jia Jingwen suddenly felt like crying.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely do well!"

"I trust you!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was almost midnight when he ended his phone call with Yuen Woo-ping.

Zhou Yan stopped fighting and left the corner.

No sooner had Zhou Yan left than Li Binbin emerged from the shadows.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. This guy looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be such a womanizer," Li Binbin muttered to himself.

She was actually on the phone when she heard the noise on her way back, so she hid in the shadows.

Unexpectedly, I overheard Zhou Yan's conversation with the women.

Li Binbin was also shocked.

Goodness, besides Fan Binbin, this guy actually has three other women.

Their relationship sounds complicated.

To avoid embarrassing Zhou Yan, and also to avoid embarrassing himself, Li Binbin decided to go out later.

"Why are you back so late?" Fan Binbin asked curiously.

"I made a phone call to Teacher Yuan, Editor-in-Chief Song, and Director Hu," Zhou Yan explained.

"I'll play one in a bit," Fan Binbin nodded.

At this moment, Li Binbin returned.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but look over, just as Li Binbin happened to be looking over as well.

Seeing Zhou Yan looking at him, Li Binbin panicked and quickly looked away, his face looking very unnatural.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly upon seeing this.

"Sister Binbin, where did you and Brother Zhou Yan go? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Shi Xiaolong couldn't help but ask.

Shi Xiaolong didn't think too much about it; it was purely out of curiosity!

In an instant, several pairs of eyes turned to look.

His gaze swept between Li Binbin and Zhou Yan, his eyes full of amusement!
