140. Running Shoes

The words that Qi Le’an had prepared were similar to that of Li Zheyu, but he said it first. So of course Le’an couldn’t repeat it.

He had thought there would be some time to prepare, but he was caught off guard by the direct question from President Li.

President Li was dressed in cotton and linen clothes. The old man was afraid of the cold and had a small vest on him. He was also wearing black trousers and cloth shoes.

Looking at President Li like this, Qi Le‘an suddenly said, “Actually, I didn’t think so much about things like national enterprises or something like that… I didn’t think that much.”

Hearing this, even Deng Jie looked a little surprised. And Li Zheyu had already shown his determination to win.

Qi Le’an smiled and said, “Actually, when I was young, I had a pair of Coolrunning shoes.”

“When my parents were still alive, our conditions were pretty good. Apart from that they were too busy and I could only see them two or three times a year, everything was fine.”

Qi Le’an started to recall, and he felt a little relieved.

“At that time, every time they came back, they would bring me a gift. I remember one year, one of my classmates was wearing a pair of Nike, and I was very envious. Nike was quite expensive ten years ago, and my grandfather was too frugal to buy it for me.”

“But I wanted it so obsessively that I got sick. I vaguely remembered my grandfather calling my parents and saying I wanted a pair of Nike sneakers.”

The memory seemed to come from a very distant place. Two lifetimes was too long, and so many childhood memories became blurred.

“Because of the illness, my mother came back and brought me a pair of sneakers.”

“My grandfather didn’t know what Nike was, so he didn’t tell my parents of course. My mother… thought I just wanted a pair of sneakers. I remember them very well. They were white, with two red stripes on the shoe uppers.”

“Those were the last pair of shoes my mother picked for me.”

Everyone was silent. They didn’t expect Qi Le’an to say so much in front of everyone.

Qi Le’an raised his head and said, “I’m sorry. I’ve said too much… I didn’t know what shoes they were, but when I passed by the corridor, I saw them in the display cabinet. I… I couldn’t help it.”

“But I think my mother must not just buy a random pair of shoes for me. This brand must have been carefully picked out by my mother. So now I think it must be the best.”

There were three “must” in his words. Qi Le’an saw tears in President Li’s eyes when he finished talking.

Li Che was spinning his pen in his hand and the faint smile on his face disappeared.

The brand Coolrunning was founded by his grandfather. At first, his grandfather just wanted a pair of sneakers for his terminally ill brother. But he couldn’t afford it, so he could only make it himself. These were all secrets of the corporation. Other than the Li family, no one else knew about it.

This Qi Le’an was a little interesting.

Li Zheyu’s expression showed that he was anxious. His gaze was fixed on Li Che but Li Che’s face was expressionless.

He had already done everything he could to help him, but now, who would have thought it would turn out this way?

This Qi Le’an was probably going to get the endorsement of Coolrunning.

As Li Che was thinking about it, President Li said, “Okay…Well said! How could I think so much when I created the brand? I just wanted to give my family a suitable pair of shoes.”

“This kid is amazing, right? Zheyu, We can look forward to the next cooperation.”

This meant that Li Zheyu was sentenced to death. The expression on Li Zheyu’s face was very bad but he forced a smile.

“The meaning of Coolrunning is indeed special for Le’an. This endorsement should be given to him.”

Qi Le’an felt refreshed when he saw Li Zhe Yu’s expression, but what did he mean by “should”? It was obvious that Le’an moved President Li, alright?

However… he was probably meant to be able to see that pair of shoes.

In the distant stars, perhaps there was really a power to protect him.

President Li took the lead and left the meeting room. Deng Jie confirmed the route of new products for the next season and Qi Le’an also got the endorsement he wanted. Everyone was happy.

The only unhappy person should be Li Che, but he acted indifferently. He even pretended to be serious and asked with a smile, “Can I call you Le’an? By the way, where’s the driver beside you?”

Qi Le’an said expressionlessly, “I’m sorry, President Li Jr. The person beside me was not a driver.” Why was Wei Sama so good-looking when he smiled? And this person looked so faked when he smiled!

Li Che nodded and said, “Yes… How can someone like that be a driver? By the way, can you give me his contact information?”

Qi Le’an waved his hand and said, “No, I can’t.” Wei Sama was right! This person was really demonic!

Li Che still wanted to say something but was interrupted by his subordinate. Qi Le’an slipped away when he got the opportunity and prepared to leave with Chen Bin first. And Li Zheyu saw all of this and his hatred was about to surge out!

This Li Che… and Qi Le’an were humiliating him!

He was the artist in Li Che’s team, yet he went directly to Qi Le’an!

Wasn’t Qi Le’an just good at showing that he was miserable? He didn’t believe that the story was real!

No… He would never give up!

Li Zheyu turned around and left with a wave of monstrous anger. He took a sports car here directly from his Godbrother’s villa, but now no one was driving him home. The smile on Li Zheyu’s face was about to stop. He quickly walked to the bathroom and called the driver to pick him up!

Looking at the bathroom door, Li Zheyu gritted his teeth!

Qi Le’an! This Qi Le’an again!

He could only hide in the toilet and make a call!

“I’m gonna kick your ass!”

Compared to Li Zheyu’s anger, Qi Le’an was much happier.

Chen Bin took advantage of Qi Le;an’s meeting to find someone to repair the car, and now he was driving a makeshift car at the garage. The car was not easy to drive, but he was in a good mood.

Qi Le’an said with joy, “It was a complete victory! Chen Ge, you didn’t see Li Zheyu’s expression… gee. ”

Chen Bin asked, “Do you want to celebrate?”

Qi Le’an stretched out in his seat and relaxed, “No. I want to go back to see Wei Sama. Brother Chen, I’ve always felt that my parents are protecting me. How could it be… such a coincidence?”

After a long time, Chen Bin said, “You’re worth it.”

Qi Le’an didn’t say anything. He was thinking about the letter from Lawyer Tang. What would the parents say in the letter? Their deaths and huge amounts of wealth.

These past events emerged in Qi Le’an’s mind with a pair of sneakers. Qi Le’an sighed and felt that he needed to investigate what happened back then after the TV series “Blue” was finished.

He couldn’t keep being so unsure about the past.

Qi Le’an returned to the crew with good news. But he didn’t expect the crew to have good news waiting for him.

“Really?” Qi Le’an asked Gary with his eyes wide open, “Does Wei Sama need to attend?”

“Wei Sama is the special guest,” Gary answered.

Qi Le’an looked very happy and couldn’t help but laugh. He had already known that “The Mourning Coffin” was a potential stock, but he didn’t expect it to be such a big surprise!

“Does Wei Sama know about this?” Qi Le’an asked urgently.

Gary shook his head. He received the call when he went back to the villa to get something. He didn’t have time to tell Wei Changfeng.

“We only know that we will be invited to the FIRST Youth Film Festival. Do you want to tell Wei Sama about that?”

Qi Le’an nodded with sparkling eyes.

From Qi Le’an’s previous life, he knew that “The Mourning Coffin” was discovered at the FIRST Youth Film Festival, and later it was perfected and released. But Wei Changfeng joined in this lifetime. After winning the Best Feature Film at the Youth Film Festival, this film would be directly included in the 4th Chinese Directors Association 2012 Annual Award List!

This was the professional award set up by the Chinese Directors Association! It was officially authenticated!

Even though it was only a nomination, they had a ninety-nine percent chance of winning!

Qi Le’an was beside himself with joy.

Chen Bin stayed in the villa to prepare the specific contract for Coolrunning, while Qi Le’an followed Gary to the set. He was about to give Wei Changfeng a surprise.

Wei Changfeng was filming an in-room scene. Zhendong was in prison for business reasons, and his sister and friends came to visit him.

Instead of squeezing into the room, Qi Le’an waited outside for everyone to finish filming before entering. From afar, he saw Wei Changfeng wearing an orange vest with handcuffs on his hands, looking like he was saying “I was wrong”.

Guan Kai saw Qi Le’an coming and teased him, “Hey, are you here to visit a prisoner?”

Qi Le’an grinned, “Yes, yes.”

Guan Kai shook his head with a smile and continued to look at the monitor. Although it was noisy in the set, it was also very orderly. Qi Le’an rushed to Wei Changfeng. Wei Changfeng undid the handcuffs and asked, “What’s going on?”

Qi Le’an looked mysterious and said, “Good news!”

Wei Changfeng moved his wrists and the two of them walked out of the room to the ventilation window in the corridor.

“You got the endorsement?” Wei Changfeng’s tone was gentle and pleasant as usual.

Qi Le’an leaned against the window and said, “Even better!”

Looking at the child who was in high spirits, Wei Changfeng knew that he must have got the endorsement, but he really couldn’t think of any better news, so he asked curiously, “What is it?”

Qi Le’an cast a mist before his eyes and said, “You guess!”

Wei Changfeng thought about it for a long time. This kid didn’t have much of a big deal lately besides this endorsement. What could it be?

“… Just tell me,” Wei Changfeng said in defeat.

“The Director Association’s annual grand ceremony!” Qi Le’an said excitedly.

“Is ‘The Mourning Coffin’ selected?” Wei Changfeng reacted instantly.

Qi Le’an nodded wildly.

Wei Changfeng had no special feelings for an award, but seeing Qi Le’an’s happy expression, he couldn’t help but feel excited. He touched Qi Le’an’s head and said, “Let’s make a good meal and celebrate it tonight.”

Qi Le’an’s head was touched gently, and he wanted to hug Wei Changfeng and kiss him now!

“Wei Sama! The director said there was a shot here to reshoot! ” Gary stretched his head out and shouted to Wei Changfeng from afar.

Wei Changfeng nodded and said, “I’m coming.”

Qi Le’an could only follow Wei Changfeng like a small tail, thinking that they would have a great celebration tonight!
