Chapter 1 How to Handle Other Siblings

As the children grow older, how to handle the issue of other siblings has to be put on the agenda. These little rascals are starting to understand things one by one, and they are not as easy to fool as they were when they were young. It is difficult to continue playing tricks. Su Yeliang is not sure how long his good father image can last, so he can only try his best to be fair to everyone.

In fact, there are still flaws in how he handles the issue of fairness. Although Su Yeliang doesn't think he is partial to Nong Qingying and the others, just like Gong Lingli is special, Nong Qingying, Jiang Mange, and Nangong Tian, the three of them, can indeed openly accompany him shopping, and the children are also in the limelight. But Gong Lingli has always taught her daughter not to mention to others that her father is Su Yeliang, ostensibly for safety reasons, but she can't keep tricking her like this. If Su Lerui gets a little older and understands Su Yeliang's difficulties, it's fine, but if she doesn't understand, the relationship between father and daughter will likely suffer because of it.

Gong Lingli herself doesn't fight or grab, she really feels satisfied, but their daughter may not necessarily feel the same way. Therefore, Su Yeliang began to consider how to find an opportunity to bring this daughter back home while minimizing the impact. Just like he said, some things are harder to say the longer you wait. The mere thought of being honest already makes him feel uneasy, and what's even more troublesome is that once he is honest with Jiang Mange and the others, it means admitting that he has been two-timing for so many years. When the time comes, he will also need to deal with the issues of Vera and her daughter. Because of the *jiao bian cao* (lit. grass at the edge of the nest, meaning being born out of wedlock), it will be a double blow to Jiang Mange in terms of feelings and friendship. It is difficult to predict in which direction the result will develop. This is a do-or-die problem that cannot be solved by relying on money.

After thinking it over, he remembered the saying, "To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a bandit, first capture their chief." Su Yeliang always felt that the key to breaking the situation was likely Nangong Tian. It seemed that only she could simultaneously settle Jiang Mange and Nong Qingying, and couldn't lose her temper.

Interestingly, Nangong Tian has both high EQ and IQ. At the young age of less than thirty, she officially joined the Hong Kong Mid-Levels Ladies' Club less than a year ago, and last month she successfully took over the position of president. In other words, under the eyelids of a group of idle, power-hungry rich women, she became the boss of more than four thousand Hong Kong rich women. Even Su Yeliang doesn't know how she did it. After all, some veteran rich women have no need to give him face, anyway, they have no intersection in business and don't need to ask him for anything. Su Yeliang is very impressed with this kind of skill and believes that once he gets her support, settling Jiang Mange and the others should be no problem. As for how to settle Nangong Tian... Su Yeliang felt that he might have to owe some carnal debts.

...

He came all the way here. After the weekend parent-child tour, he went to Si Jiu City by the way. A pile of accumulated affairs are waiting for Su Yeliang to personally contact people and deal with them. The itinerary is arranged to be full, one after another running to various departments. After snowing in Si Jiu City, what could be more enjoyable than soaking in your own hot spring pool in the evening, and enjoying the snow scene in the backyard?

Around 8:30 in the evening, suddenly a bodyguard found Su Yeliang and reported, "Someone is here to visit, they are staff in charge of the Olympic Games preparation. We checked the information online, and there is no problem with their identity."

Su Yeliang was sitting in the spacious and exquisite bathtub, with a glass of Margaux red wine in his hand. He was curious when he heard this, and then he remembered something, and suddenly realized: "Oh, could it be the chief director Zhang Yimou, still thinking of asking me to sing?"

The bodyguard was not very clear and replied, "It's him, that's right, he only said he has something to discuss with you."

"Okay, let them wait in the living room for a while, I'll go over after changing clothes..."

No need to be too particular at home, Su Yeliang only wore a cotton pajamas, wearing whatever is comfortable. After meeting and greeting in the living room, and sitting down again, the chief director Zhang Yimou said with a smile:

"Thank you, President Su, for your strong support, providing a lot of help for the preparation of the Olympics. The entire opening ceremony is basically ready, and now we are just lacking a few good songs. President Su has a different status, if we can ask you for a song and arrange a big chorus of people from both sides of the strait and three regions, then the effect will definitely be extraordinary."

Last time, through Tian Mange Entertainment's connections, contacting Su Yeliang, the idea of inviting him to sing has already fallen through. In Director Zhang Yimou's view, since Su Yeliang had released an album before, he should have a singer's dream deep in his heart. So he happened to hear that he had come to Si Jiu City, so he knocked on the door to try his luck. The two people usually don't have much contact. Although he is the chief director of the Olympic Games, he also has to consider his future, such as the example of Star Lord, who crossed over from acting to directing, and has been making movies until he just wants to rest in recent years under the support of Su Yeliang. Everyone in the circle already knows about this. If he seizes the opportunity to get to know him, even if he is rejected again, he won't lose anything anyway.

Su Yeliang was busy all day, and just soaked and drank some red wine, his mood was quite calm. After listening, he pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, after the last communication, I have already tried humming a bit. How about I hum a section first and you see how it is? Let's say it first, use it if you can, it doesn't matter if you can't, don't force it."

His eyes lit up, thinking that he had really come to the right place this time. Director Zhang Yimou felt that it didn't matter even if it didn't work, it could be used as a regular promotional song. The theme song of the opening ceremony has already been set as the widely circulated "Ode to the Motherland", so the quality of Su Yeliang's song will not affect the opening ceremony itself. So he immediately said:

"Great! That's great! President Su is not only good at doing business, but also writes songs so well that people are convinced. A talent like you is truly rare to come across in a thousand years."

Su Yeliang's eyes twitched, he coughed dryly, brewed his emotions, and began to sing: "Welcome another morning glow, bringing a brand new air, the breath changes, the taste remains, the tea fragrance fills the feelings. My door is always open, open arms waiting for you, hugging you will have tacit understanding, you will fall in love with this place..."

He wasn't prepared at all, and didn't have the skill to improvise on the spot. A "Si Jiu City Welcomes You" that was almost completely copied and pasted was freshly baked. He even forgot the words halfway through, and could only use "not yet written" to muddle through. Although it is not a popular song for the masses, the lyrics are enough to fit the Olympics, and the melody is catchy. In Chief Director Zhang Yimou's view, this is enough. He sincerely gave a thumbs up and said again:

"It's really very good! I've heard a lot, and President Su's is the most flavorful. It can definitely be used! My friend is the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and he's been having a headache for the performance programs lately. How about I recommend President Su to go to the Spring Festival Gala and try it out too?"

Ten thousand wears, but flattery never fails. Su Yeliang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's forget about the Spring Festival Gala, let's talk about it when I have time in the future."

Linda Yun happened to come over to deliver tea, holding the idea of ​​watching the fun and not being afraid of big things, and interjected:

"You have time this year, why not go to the Spring Festival Gala to sing a song? It can save ten billion RMB in advertising expenses, you are one of a kind, boss."

He is indeed quite free, and not as resistant to extracurricular activities as before. Su Yeliang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it, the main thing is that I don't have any good songs to sing, I have to think about it first..."
