I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law - Chapter 570
Chapter 570 The world of three people is achieved
After repeated investment failures in a row, Qiao Qiao was not decadent, and with Shao Jingmo’s encouragement, she soon rekindled her fighting spirit.
Next, under the guidance of Shao Jingmo’s analysis, and with the 100 million that Shao Jingmo allocated to her, she invested in a modern criminal investigation theme that was not very promising.
The subject of modern criminal investigation has never been very optimistic.
And Qiao Qiao knows that in the film and television industry, ancient Chinese themes are always the most popular, followed by modern urban themes, both of which will never lose their popularity in the market.
But looking at the modern criminal investigation in front of us…
Qiao Qiao suddenly doubted Shao Jingmo’s vision. Maybe the financial stock market is what he is best at, but he is actually not so accurate in the film and television industry?
Shao Jingmo told her: “I don’t know much about metaphysics, and I won’t use the gossip Zhouyi to calculate the fate of this drama in advance. I analyzed the possibility of this drama’s possible explosive data based on the production team you provided. As for whether it will really explode in the end, it also depends on the destiny.”
“Just for you, I’ll vote high and low.” Qiao Qiao was full of fighting spirit.
Eleven months later, Qiao Qiao invested 100 million yuan in a modern criminal investigation drama, which was successfully broadcast.
During the warm-up period before the broadcast, Qiao Qiao was quite nervous.
She recalled that she went to the crew during filming, and the set was full of old dramas, which made her scalp tingle.
Anyway, as long as she stays on the set, she is very confident that the show will explode.
But as soon as she leaves the set, she can’t help but wonder if the show will hit the street…
Fortunately, the ratings and popularity during the first broadcast period were not bad. The producer and other investors contacted Qiao Qiao and asked her if she wanted to buy Hot Search to make the popularity even higher.
Qiao Qiao wanted to see her real results, so she didn’t let her buy hot searches.
And the performance of this show did not disappoint Qiao Qiao. During the hit period, the popularity rose a lot every day, almost a qualitative leap. The popularity of the first broadcast video site has soared to the third most popular video on the whole site.
Such a high score is so bright in front of her eyes, it’s so eye-catching, Qiao Qiao can hardly believe that this drama will explode to the point where the whole people watch it.
To celebrate the success of this investment, Qiao Qiao prepared a lot of rich ingredients in advance in the evening, and invited Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou to come to her house as guests.
Shao Jingmo knew that there would be a visitor tonight, so he came back from the company early.
As soon as he got home, he came in from the entrance and saw a man in a white sweater sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Hearing the voice, Pei Jingzhou turned his head to look at Shao Jingmo, and smiled slightly: “Mr. Shao, don’t come here without any problems.”
Shao Jingmo recognized Pei Jingzhou the first time he saw him, and walked over: “Thanks to President Pei’s concern.”
Pei Jingzhou smiled.
He came with Li Xiwu, half an hour before Shao Jingmo came back.
Li Xiwu went into the kitchen to prepare dinner with Qiao Qiao. Pei Jingzhou’s cooking skills were not bad, but he couldn’t watch it alone, and he couldn’t help the kitchen, so he just sat in the living room and read books to pass the time.
At this time Qiao Qiao and Li Xiwu were busy in the kitchen, talking and laughing in a warm atmosphere.
Shao Jingmo took a look at the kitchen door to let Qiao Qiao know that he had returned, but Qiao Qiao who was busy at this time did not see the tall figure standing at the kitchen door.
It was Li Xiwu who noticed it first, and she greeted politely: “Mr. Shao.”
Shao Jingmo nodded politely.
Qiao Qiao heard the voice, turned around and saw Shao Jingmo standing at the door of the kitchen, she raised her eyebrows and smiled: “Little uncle, go and entertain Mr. Pei, Xiwu and I will be in charge of the kitchen, and dinner will be served soon.”
Shao Jingmo smiled softly and responded to her: “Okay.”
He turned around and went to the cabinet at the bar counter. After opening the drawer, he turned and asked Pei Jingzhou who was sitting on the sofa: “What kind of tea does Boss Pei drink?”
Pei Jingzhou: “Cinnamon.”
“Hold on.”
Shao Jingmo took a can of Huxiaoyan cinnamon from the drawer.
A moment later, Pei Jingzhou held the tea made by Shao Jingmo himself. He looked happy and praised the taste of cinnamon after tasting it.
Shao Jingmo asked: “Mr. Pei prefers cinnamon?”
Pei Jingzhou: “My wife likes it, and I like it too.”
Shao Jingmo smiled lightly, and then asked: “What about your two children, why didn’t you bring them here together?”
“I picked them up from their grandmother’s house after school. Tonight, my wife and I plan to go back to the small courtyard, so we won’t take them with us.” Pei Jingzhou finished speaking slowly, and put down the teacup.
Shao Jingmo filled Pei Jingzhou’s teacup with tea: “The world of two people is very good.”
There is something in Pei Jingzhou’s words: “The world with multiple people may be more lively.”
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows: “Not necessarily, Mr. Pei sent the child to the old man just to live two worlds with his wife.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyelids, and the corner of his lips twitched: “It depends on how you understand it.”
Shao Jingmo smiled without saying a word.

At the door of the kitchen, Qiao Qiao looked outside and said to Li Xiwu, “We get along very well.”
Li Xiwu, who was washing the vegetables, couldn’t help laughing: “Could it be that you are still worried that the two of them will fight?”
“Hey, Baozi, don’t tell me, if they fight, do you think Pei always wins or the little uncle wins?”
Curiosity suddenly rose in my heart, Qiao Qiao asked.
Li Xiwu’s lips twitched into a smile: “You want to tell the truth?”
Qiao Qiao immediately raised her hand to signal: “Let me explain first, you can’t deliberately give me face.”
“It’s really not for your face.” Li Xiwu drained all the washed vegetables, picked up the corner of the apron, wiped his hands and said, “If there is a real fight, it is indeed your family who wins, and the fourth brother will win sooner.” I was injured in country T in 2010, and my body has not recovered very well.”
Qiao Qiao looked at Li Xiwu worriedly: “If Mr. Pei is not in good health, will your affairs be harmonious?”
Li Xiwu was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud: “Qiaoer, should I say that you still have a lot of waste in your head.”
Qiao Qiao is serious: “As the saying goes, parents love their sons for far-reaching plans. This sentence has the same meaning when applied to you and me.”
Li Xiwu lightly pushed Qiao Qiao’s shoulder: “Who are the parents and who are the sons? It’s really good of you to take advantage of this.”
“That’s right.” Qiao Qiao is not at all modest.
The person who is in charge of the kitchen tonight is Qiao Qiao, and Li Xiwu is in charge of helping out, such as washing vegetables, peeling garlic, and chopping vegetables.
But most of them were ready before Li Xiwu came.
The two chatted about how much the popularity of the modern criminal investigation drama that Qiao Qiao invested in will increase in the future. In fact, Qiao Qiao’s bottom line has already been refreshed by the performance of this drama countless times, and she will receive good news every day.
Using Li Xiwu’s analysis: “With such a theme and team, coupled with such achievements, I dare say that in the past two years, there will be no more than the same theme.”
These words hit Qiao Qiao’s heart: “It’s happier than me acting in person.”
“You should be happy.” Li Xiwu said honestly: “The industry is now talking about the success of this show. The script is well written, the cast is well selected, and the production is very careful. Coupled with your large investment, let This show has more resources to choose scenes, and now whether it is the director, actors, investors, sponsors, or video sites, it is all a win-win situation.”
Li Xiwu’s words are not an exaggeration at all.
The success of this drama has indeed set off a big storm in the industry.
Qiao Qiao shrugged her shoulders and said with a creaking smile: “Baozi, if you continue to boast like this, I should be floating.”
Li Xiwu supported the stove with one hand, raised his eyelids to look at Qiao Qiao, and smiled all over his face: “Usually I don’t agree with being a high-profile person, but this time you should float and walk sideways.”
Joe turned over with a sly smile.
Just smiling, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. At first, she didn’t take it seriously, thinking that she was laughing too happily, and she couldn’t hold her breath.
But then, when she filled the pot with braised pig’s trotters, a feeling that something was wrong rushed to her heart.
Qiao Qiao maintained the posture of holding the plate, motionless.
Li Xiwu noticed something was wrong, so he came over and asked, “Did you forget to put something?”
Qiao Qiao slowly turned her head to look at Li Xiwu, without saying a word, but her expression looked a little uncomfortable.
Li Xiwu suddenly raised it, and quickly stepped forward to help her catch the plate, put it aside, and supported Qiao Qiao: “Uncomfortable?”
“Hmm…” Qiao Qiao covered her mouth.
Li Xiwu:?
Qiao Qiao waved her hand to show that she was fine, but she couldn’t help it in the next second, and squatted next to the kitchen trash can, retching uncontrollably.
She retched not loudly, and the living room was some distance away from the kitchen, so Shao Jingmo outside couldn’t hear it.
Li Xiwu squatted down, gently patted Qiao Qiao’s back with the palm of her hand, and gave her a smooth ride: “Did you taste the uncooked spring bamboo shoots just now?”
“No.” Just after saying no, a feeling of nausea rushed over.
Qiao Qiao couldn’t suppress this disgusting feeling no matter what, as if her stomach was churning, the nausea was very strong, but she couldn’t vomit it out.
Although Li Xiwu is an experienced person, his only experience has been in the past for many years, so he didn’t think about it for a while, and only thought that Qiao Qiao had a sudden stomach upset.
Li Xiwu supported Qiao Qiao: “Let’s go to the hospital first.”
Qiao Qiao nodded, and stood up with Li Xiwu’s support.
She knew that it would be better to go to the hospital to have a look at this situation. Although she didn’t taste the uncooked spring bamboo shoots, but the sudden nausea was so severe, it might be because of some kind of damage to the stomach.
However, when she stood up with the help of Li Xiwu, the feeling of nausea disappeared instantly.
Qiao Qiao pressed her heart, but felt nothing, so she pressed it again.
After the feeling of nausea and vomiting disappeared, the whole person returned to the same as before. To be sure, she bounced twice.
Li Xiwu next to him was stunned: “What are you doing?”
Qiao Qiao chuckled: “I’m fine.”
Li Xiwu was dubious: “Are you sure?”
“It’s really good.” Qiao Qiao let out a breath, and felt that the whole person was much happier: “I don’t know what happened just now, but suddenly I felt a churning in my stomach, nausea and retching, and I wanted to vomit but couldn’t vomit. Come out, now you’re like a normal person again.”
Li Xiwu gradually fell into deep thought.
Once Qiao Qiao felt better, she didn’t want to go to the hospital anymore, she turned around and continued to work on the stove: “Hurry up and eat, or it will be too late.”
The color of the braised pig’s feet is very beautiful. The sauce is made with old soy sauce. The smooth and tender pig’s feet are connected with the tendons. It looks very tasty and soft, which makes people very appetizing. Although there is no such nauseating feeling, She didn’t really want to eat, she had no appetite.
Qiao Qiao frowned distressedly, put all the braised pork feet on the plate, and then continued to prepare the next dish.
Li Xiwu, who was standing by the side, was thoughtful, and a possibility that he didn’t think of at the beginning had already grown in his mind at this moment.
Combined with Qiao Qiao’s situation just now, Li Xiwu feels that it is quite possible…
But she didn’t say it in a hurry, she would mention it to Qiao Qiao after dinner.
–
Tonight’s dishes are particularly rich.
The atmosphere during the meal was also very good. Shao Jingmo brought out the red wine. Before the meal, all four of them stood up, congratulating and celebrating Qiao Qiao’s big profit in this investment drama!
When Li Xiwu drove back at night, Pei Jingzhou drank some.
Several times during the period, Qiao Qiao wanted to drink more, but was interrupted by Li Xiwu invisibly. After the meal, Pei Jingzhou and Shao Jingmo sat and chatted for a few words, and then began to clean up the dishes.
Li Xiwu took advantage of this moment to drag Qiao Qiao to the terrace.
Qiao Qiao saw that Li Xiwu was nervous, and she also became nervous: “What’s wrong, so serious all of a sudden?”
Li Xiwu is really serious now, she asked Qiao Qiao: “How long has it been since you had your period?”
Qiao Qiao thought about it seriously: “It’s probably about ten days late.”
After finishing speaking, Qiao Qiao was stunned for the first time, and she looked at Li Xiwu in disbelief: “…???”
Li Xiwu nodded: “I think it’s possible, it depends on what you think.”
“I…” Qiao Qiao’s expression froze: “When I fell into the sea, I hurt my body at all, and it was not easy to conceive. In the past few years, I have been in a state of letting nature take its course. He was never in a hurry, and I didn’t plan it. Now…”
Li Xiwu took Qiao Qiao’s hand and shook it reassuringly: “Maybe, the fate didn’t come before, but now the fate has arrived, so…” Li Xiwu’s eyes fell on Qiao Qiao’s stomach: “Little guy pick and choose Go, you’ve been chosen.”
Qiao Qiao’s nose suddenly turned sore.
Seeing this, Li Xiwu hurriedly said the important thing first: “Don’t expect too much, you see, I also took you outside to talk about it after dinner, because I was afraid that it would be too early. An own goal, I am afraid I will still be very disappointed.”
“I understand what you said.” Qiao Qiao nodded: “Then I’ll go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow.”
Li Xiwu: “I will accompany you.”
“Um.”
Qiao Qiao didn’t mention a single word to Shao Jingmo about what happened tonight.
In the past few years in the capital, although Shao Jingmo never mentioned children, and she never paid attention to them, if he really had a child, he would definitely look forward to it, right?
I am afraid that this expectation will fail.
So she decided to let Li Xiwu accompany her to the hospital for an examination first. If she was really pregnant, she would definitely come back with the examination report and tell him non-stop.
If it’s really an oolong, then just pretend nothing happened.
Make up her mind, Qiao Qiao went out the next day as normal, and told Shao Jingmo that she asked Li Xiwu to play cards together, but actually slipped to the hospital accompanied by Li Xiwu.
Shao Jingmo never asked about Qiao Qiao’s daily arrangements.
Especially when Qiao Qiao and Li Xiwu went to play together, he would not bother. I will only ask her at meal times if she has eaten on time, and come to pick her up at night, so I won’t think about it this time.
The whole day passed peacefully.
In the evening, Shao Jingmo came back early.
Seeing Qiao Qiao sitting on the sofa, with a bunch of barbecues in front of her, and a big bag of snacks, Shao Jingmo was surprised, and came over and asked, “Why do you buy so many snacks and barbecues?”
Qiao Qiao held a starchy sausage in her hand, raised her face and smiled: “I want to eat it.”
Shao Jingmo didn’t stop her from eating these, sat down beside her, and cleaned up the messy barbecue and snacks in front of her: “You can eat if you want, but don’t eat too much, too much barbecue can cause enteritis, and, I can’t sleep at night after eating too much.”
Qiao Qiao bit her lips and smiled.
Shao Jingmo noticed something was wrong with her, and asked her, “What are you laughing at, so happy?”
“I’m happy because I’m in a good mood.” Qiao Qiao also said: “I eat more barbecue now because I will eat less in the next nine months.”
Shao Jingmo frowned slightly: “What?”
Qiao Qiao put the starch sausage down, and then handed the pregnancy test report next to Shao Jingmo: “You have upgraded.”
Shao Jingmo’s expression froze, and he didn’t reach out to take it.
Qiao Qiao approached and asked, “Isn’t it a little scary?”
“No, I’ll take it slow.”
After finishing speaking, Shao Jingmo really delayed for two or three minutes before reaching out to take the pregnancy test report from Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao noticed that the hand Shao Jingmo reached out to take the pregnancy test report was trembling slightly.
He has always been in front of the Taishan collapse without changing his face, but now because of this pregnancy test report, not only his hands are trembling slightly, but his eyes are instantly red.
Qiao Qiao had no time to appease him, and was suddenly embraced by him.
She patted him on the back and said softly, “Congratulations, little uncle.”
His hoarse and choked voice fell into his ears: “Tongxi, Qiao Yu.”
