281: Then I'll wear it at home and show it to you.

It wasn't just Wang Baoqiang's parents who were worried that he hadn't married a wife at his age.

Li Xin's parents were also worried that their daughter hadn't married out yet at her age.

At this time, parents' concepts were still quite traditional; for a girl over thirty who wasn't married, it was basically very difficult to find a husband.

And for a bachelor over thirty who hadn't married a wife, it was also basically very difficult to find one.

Unless they were successful in their career, with a car, a house, and savings.

Clearly, Wang Baoqiang was one of those with a successful career.

Although he hadn't reached thirty yet, he was getting close... As the film promotion for "Detective Chinatown" began.

The movie's popularity on the internet grew higher and higher, and the discussions were endless.

Zhang Li began contacting major cinema chains to discuss the screening schedule for the new movie.

Generally, when a new movie is released, communication with cinema chains is necessary.

After all, many movies are released every day, and with every new movie, the screening rate for other movies decreases.

The release time is also calculated based on the cinema's screening schedule; if you want to earn a lot, the screening rate certainly cannot be low.

With Chen Le's current fame, it was relatively easy to get a high screening rate.

After all, the higher the box office, the more the cinema chains earn.

Naturally, they would allocate more screenings to movies that made more money; as for those with low box office or even none, their screening slots would only become fewer and fewer.

Zhang Li was handling all these negotiations, so Chen Le didn't need to worry about them at all.

He believed Zhang Li would handle everything well.

At this moment, Chen Le was still looking at the Social Media Platform.

Many netizens on the Social Media Platform were asking when the new movie would be released.

Some people even went to his Social Media Platform page to ask when the new movie would be out.

Seeing these netizen comments, Chen Le felt happy but also a bit helpless.

After all, this wasn't something he could truly decide on his own.

When it would be released depended on the screening schedule.

So while he wasn't afraid of competing with anyone, he still had to pick a good time for the release to maximize box office revenue.

Right now, box office revenue was his top priority.

As for the quality of the movie, he wasn't worried at all.

After all, it was a hit in his past life; even if it wasn't as popular now as it was then, it wouldn't be far off.

At this time, Yang Mi changed her clothes.

Just now, seeing her in that bath towel had made Chen Le feel a rush of heat to his head.

If Yang Mi hadn't run fast, Chen Le would have definitely done some "morning exercises" with her.

“Old Chen, are we going out to eat?” Yang Mi looked at Chen Le and asked.

“Sure.” Chen Le nodded.

Afterwards, the two went out to eat.

Time reached the afternoon, and Yang Mi took Chen Le for a tour around Shanghai.

Compared to Yanjing, Shanghai looked more prosperous and more modern.

As the bridgehead of China's opening up, life in Shanghai has always been in line with international standards.

It was even more prosperous and extravagant than some places abroad.

Walking on the streets of Shanghai, Chen Le could see beautiful women dressed in revealing clothes shopping everywhere he looked.

Yang Mi's outfit appeared much more conservative in comparison to theirs.

“Old Chen, what are you looking at?” Yang Mi looked at Chen Le and noticed his gaze was constantly on those scantily clad women, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Hearing Yang Mi's voice, Chen Le's whole body jolted. He immediately withdrew his gaze and said with a bit of a guilty conscience, “Nothing, just looking around.”

“Does it look good?” Yang Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice carrying a hint of murderous intent as she asked with a smile.

“It's okay, but not as good-looking as you.” Hearing this, Chen Le immediately gave a sheepish smile and said.

So Yang Mi could get this jealous too.

Chen Le thought secretly to himself.

Hearing Chen Le's words, Yang Mi, who had been feeling a bit sour, suddenly felt much better and became quite happy.

“Old Chen, is it really that good-looking? If I dressed like them, what would happen?” Yang Mi looked at the scantily clad women on the street and smiled at Chen Le.

“Uh, you can try it at home, but forget about wearing it out.” Chen Le hesitated for a moment before saying.

Just like a saying that circulated on the internet in later generations: the more revealing other people's girlfriends dress, the better; the more conservatively your own girlfriend dresses, the better.

Chen Le naturally wouldn't let others see Yang Mi's body for free.

Hearing Chen Le's somewhat possessive words, Yang Mi felt quite happy.

“Fine, then I'll wear it for you at home,” Yang Mi said with a smile.

“Sure, if it's at home, you can wear something even more revealing,” Chen Le said, suddenly smiling mischievously.

Hearing this, Yang Mi immediately understood what Chen Le was referring to, and her face turned slightly red.

“Okay, I'll do whatever you say.” Yang Mi nodded with a slightly blushing face.

Seeing Yang Mi nod, Chen Le was also a bit surprised.

Why was Yang Mi so obedient today? Could it be that those women just now gave her a sense of crisis?

But he soon shook his head; that seemed unlikely.

After all, none of them were as beautiful as Yang Mi, nor was their figure as good as hers.

The only highlight was that they were wearing very little.

But Chen Le had even seen what Yang Mi looked like with nothing on, let alone wearing little.

So Chen Le looked at these women with an appreciative gaze; after all, unless he closed his eyes, he certainly couldn't pretend not to see them.

The weather in Shanghai had been quite good these past few days, and many people were out having fun.

Chen Le and Yang Mi spent the whole afternoon wandering around.

A few more days passed.

On the internet, the popularity of "Detective Chinatown" grew even more.

Many people were looking forward to the movie's release... On the other side, at Liu Haoran's school, in Liu Haoran's class.

Two days ago, it was announced that "Detective Chinatown" was about to be released, and many students in Liu Haoran's class learned of the news.

Today was the first time Liu Haoran returned to school.

After all, he was still a student.

Although he had to leave school for filming, he couldn't fall behind in his studies.

Fortunately, he attended an art school, so the requirements for academic grades weren't very high.

As for his art grades, they were also quite good.

Moreover, now that he had acted in a movie, he could completely become an actor in the future and apply to schools like the Beijing Film Academy.

During filming, his study progress didn't lag behind either; he had to self-study high school knowledge every day after filming.

Chen Le had even hired a tutor for him to provide extra lessons.

This was to prevent him from delaying his studies because of filming.

Even so, not only did his academic grades keep up, but his acting skills also improved.

He returned to school this time to take the final exams.

He could skip the midterm exams, but not the finals; those were mandatory.

Just after returning to school, Liu Haoran saw his good friend and deskmate, Zhang Xiao.

He had been away for several months for filming this time.

Seeing Zhang Xiao again now, Liu Haoran felt as if things had changed while people remained the same, which made him feel a bit out of place for a moment.
