The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 576: Reception before filming

Lizhen and Wang Kun, Chunyan and her husband Zhang Xiaowen, these two couples embarked on a journey to the United States to shoot a movie together. They had complex emotions in their hearts, including expectations for the unknown and concerns and reluctance to leave their families.

Lizhen and Wang Kun held hands and encouraged each other. They knew that this was a rare opportunity, not only could they make their mark in the film industry, but they could also experience a different culture and lifestyle. However, they also understood that this meant leaving their familiar environment, relatives and friends, and facing various challenges and difficulties.

Chunyan held Zhang Xiaowen's arm tightly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She was looking forward to the trip, but at the same time she was worried about whether she could adapt to life in a foreign country. Zhang Xiaowen gently comforted her and told her that everything would be fine.

While waiting at the airport, they talked to their families on the phone, and hearing their blessings and encouragements, their anxiety was slightly relieved. They knew that this trip was not only for their own dreams, but also to live up to their families' expectations.

Finally, the announcement for boarding sounded, they took a deep breath, looked at each other, and then walked towards the boarding gate resolutely. This step meant that they would leave their hometown and pursue the seemingly distant but hopeful dream of making a movie.

Hongliang, Li Min, Anthony and others were at the airport to welcome them. They finally met again after almost a year when the plane landed and they walked out of the airport exit.

Hongliang rushed forward first and gave Wang Kun a big hug, "You are finally here, we missed you so much!" Li Min's eyes were red, and she held Lizhen's hand and said excitedly, "It's been a year since we last met, and you are all more charming." Anthony greeted everyone enthusiastically in fluent Chinese, "Welcome to the United States, let's work hard on the movie together in the days to come!"

Chunyan and Zhang Xiaowen greeted everyone shyly. Hongliang patted Zhang Xiaowen on the shoulder and joked, "Xiaowen, you must take good care of Chunyan." Zhang Xiaowen smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, everyone went to the accommodation that had been arranged in advance. Along the way, everyone chatted non-stop and shared the interesting things that happened in the past year. When the car was driving on the streets of the United States, the unfamiliar scenery outside the window made Lizhen and the others excited and nervous. Everyone knew that what was waiting for them next would be a film journey full of challenges and opportunities, and this new beginning kicked off from this moment.

Li Min and Hong Liang hosted a welcoming reception for them at a luxurious hotel.

After a year, they no longer dwell on the past grudges, but are more concerned about each other and ask about each other's experiences in the past year.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone started talking. Anthony excitedly introduced the general plan for the filming of this movie, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of the movie's great success.

Lizhen and Wang Kun listened very carefully and offered some professional insights from time to time, which made Anthony look at them with admiration.

Chunyan curiously asked about American living habits and precautions during the filming process. Zhang Xiaowen listened quietly and added a few words to her from time to time.

Hongliang smiled and said, "During the year when you were away, we encountered many problems, but we managed to overcome them all. Now that you are here, our team will definitely be able to make an amazing movie."

Li Min also agreed, "Yes, if we work together, we can definitely realize our movie dream.

"At this time, the lights in the restaurant suddenly dimmed, and a group of staff came out pushing a big cake with "Welcome Home" written on it. Everyone cheered, and in the warm atmosphere, they became more determined to work together and make a name for themselves in the film industry.

This segment was arranged by Li Min and Hong Liang. They said it meant that they were like a family now and welcomed Li Zhen and Chun Yan to go home together.

At this time, Lizhen's phone rang. Lizhen immediately answered the phone, "Hello, Mom, you are going to the United States. When will you come home?" The daughter of Hongliang and Tingting is already in high school. She has been living in the school. She didn't know when Lizhen and others left.

"Tingting, it will take us a while to go back. Listen to grandma at home. I'll ask Uncle Liu to pick you up on Sunday. Study hard." Lizhen's voice was gentle and she had a smile on her face when she answered the phone.

"Is that Tingting? Give me the phone." Hongliang saw that Lizhen was answering the call from his daughter, and he was about to talk to his daughter.

Lizhen immediately gave the phone to Hongliang, who eagerly answered the phone, "Tingting, this is your dad. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Tingting was surprised when she heard her father's voice. Her father hadn't called her for a long time, but she had gotten used to it because Uncle Wang Kun and Mother Lizhen were very nice to her here.

Hearing his daughter's unhurried answer, Hongliang was shocked and felt indescribable feeling in his heart. His daughter hung up the phone without saying a few words.

At this moment, Hongliang suddenly thought of the child he and Tingting had, who was being taken care of by Lizhen in China, and he did not go home often. He felt indescribable feelings in his heart.

"Lizhen, are the children obedient at home? It's really hard for you." Hongliang looked at Lizhen and Wang Kun with a smile and a hint of guilt in his eyes.

He couldn't help but think of his children. Since he left home, Lizhen had been taking care of them. Now, the children seemed to be closer to Lizhen and Wang Kun, which made Hongliang feel a little lost and guilty.

Hongliang couldn't help but reflect on his role as a father, and he realized that his absence from his children's growth may have had a greater impact on them than he thought. He secretly made up his mind to spend as much time as possible with his children to make up for the regrets of the past.

Lizhen sat quietly by the window, the sunlight shone on her through the curtains, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

"The children are all very good. They get along very well. It's as if there is no distinction between them." Lizhen's mouth corners raised slightly, and there was a gentle light in her eyes.

She thought of her own children and Hongliang and Tingting's children, two lovely little ones, always full of energy and curiosity. They played and studied together, without any barriers between them.

Lizhen also thought of her and Wang Kun's child, the sensible child who always silently cared for the family, which made her feel extremely comforted. These children were like angels, bringing endless joy and warmth to her life.

Lizhen couldn't help but sigh that time flies so fast and the children have grown up without her noticing. She hopes that they can always maintain their innocence and kindness, support each other and grow together. No matter what difficulties and challenges they will encounter in the future, she believes that the children will be able to face them bravely and stay together forever.

Lizhen's heart is filled with love and expectations for her children. She knows that they are the most precious treasures in her life.

"This shows that, Lizhen, as a mother, you have done a good job and treated everyone the same, so there is no barrier between them. This is too difficult for you, Lizhen." Li Min was also very emotional at this time.

Everyone was enjoying their meal, but Hongliang was a little worried and couldn't eat...
