I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 415: 413. Gas station employees

  Chapter 415 413. Gas station employees

  Truth be told, the house is huge.

   Ping Xu Xin didn't know the exact number, but he probably wandered around twice. This house has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3 living rooms including large and small ones.

  Scenery is good, too.

   In front of the balcony is the scenery of the Huangpu River.

  There are many legends about Tomson Yipin. Why do you have to buy a house in US dollars, and you need to verify the capital before buying a house.

  As the top mansion in the capital city and even in the Celestial Dynasty, this place has been filled with various legends since it was built.

  Unfortunately, Xu Xin is not from Shanghai, and he doesn't know the price of this house.

  But it doesn't prevent him from giving his own evaluation.

   And his evaluation is...

   It's so **** scary.

  Because I live on a high floor, when I open the balcony door, the cold wind blows in howling. It might be very comfortable in summer, but in winter, in this huge room, I am alone in this huge room, watching the wind blowing the curtains rustling...

   is really awkward.

   is also really uncomfortable.

  So he wandered around the bedrooms again, and finally chose a bedroom with the smallest area and walked in.

   No, I can’t sleep in a big bedroom.

   Space, afraid of nightmares.

   Immediately afterwards, his cell phone rang.

  Guo Jingming came to bring him red wine.

  Because the elevator uses palm print plus access control recognition, each head of household can only go to his own floor when he is not invited.

   After he entered the elevator, Xu Xin had to press it to receive him on the 40th floor.

   Xu Xin really doesn't know much about Guo Jingming. But anyway, the old man and the two are considered to be acquaintances, and Xu Xin also did his best to treat guests.

   What's more... Although he doesn't care, at least in the eyes of some people, expanding contacts is a very important thing.

   Holding a bottle of Austrian red wine in his hand, Xu Xin politely invited him to sit at home.

  But the other party is not a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, and bluntly said with a smile that he still has to go up to eat. So Xu Xin said logically that they would come out to sit together another day, and ended the meeting at the elevator entrance.

   After politely waiting for the elevator to close, he returned to the house with the bottle of red wine.

   After putting it in the wine cabinet, he didn't take care of it. He walked into the small bedroom and started to take a shower.

  After washing up and lying down under the quilt, he called his wife.

   "Doo...Hello, are you here?"

   "Well, just got out of the shower and going to sleep. What are you doing?"

"I just came back from the hot pot restaurant and just finished skin care. Once you left, my dad didn't want to serve me anymore. We found a shabu-shabu restaurant and had a casual bite. It smelled like hot pot. I'm going to take a bath. Right now, it's beautiful, fragrantly entering the bed, hugging Nuannuan and Yangyang to sleep~"

  She was full of coquettishness on the phone.

   The use of redundancies is perfect.

   Immediately afterwards, he asked:

   "Are you at the hotel?"

   "No, I'm in Tomson Yipin."

   "Tomson Yipin?"

"Yes, the old man has a house here. I came here tonight to go to Xu Yang's place to sleep for a night, but he was buzzing over there, as if he was playing with someone in a bar. I called Li Hao I made a phone call and asked, and I’ll come right here.”

   "Okay, the top mansions are all living in! I don't know where the door of that place opens."

"It's the same as I know. If I hadn't called Li Hao, I wouldn't have known that the old man had a house here... But I was so scared. I guess the house is at least 400 to 500 square meters. Just I am alone, and the number of floors is still high. The wind blowing from the Huangpu River is blowing here, and ghosts are crying and wolves are howling. I am the only one in the whole house..."

  "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogs

   "..."

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"are you crazy?"

   "I am a womanizer who specializes in sucking people's energy~~~~"

   "If you have the ability, you come here. Tonight, the Lord will show you what "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" is."

   "Oh~~~~Buy~~~~Spicy~~~~~Buy Darling~~~~~"

  You really want to say it... It's actually quite romantic for an old couple to have the ability to talk on the phone.

   How many couples are actually in love, and the romance of love has been wiped out.

  The two of them maintained this habit of talking on the phone when they were in different places. It would be enviable to let others know.

   But she is really not serious.

  You said you were holding the two children on the phone, so why don't you keep a low profile?

   This is also sung.

  Xu Xin was speechless, and quickly changed the subject:

   "Hey, do you know who lives above me?"

   "Li Jiacheng?"

   "...Why him?"

   "I don't know, didn't he develop this house? He also created the shared area. Bah! Sun thief!..."

   "It's Guo Jingming."

  Hearing what he said, Yang Mi who was still cursing was taken aback for a moment...

"who?"

   "Guo Jingming~ is the author of the book "Illusionary City" that you put in the toilet. He is upstairs from me."

"ah?"

   It can be heard that Yang Mi is really a little confused.

   "What a coincidence?... He can afford Tomson Yipin... Oh, yes, he has indeed made a lot of money in the past two years. Especially the young girls born in the 90s are so obsessed with him that they don't want to~"

   "Aren't you the same back then?"

"I didn't... I didn't have any money at the time. He always liked to write about showing off his wealth or something in the upper class. I read it as a book to increase my knowledge! But after I met you, I discovered... his book But it’s too nonsense, full of inferiority complex. The rich people in his book can’t wait to eat gold... Ever since I saw you squatting on the threshold holding a noodle bowl and snoring there, it completely shattered my understanding of rich People's fantasy. So I don't like it~"

   "..."

  In the past two years, the daughter-in-law has become better at talking.

  For a moment, he couldn't tell whether her words were belittling Guo Jingming or hurting himself.

  She...shouldn't be insulting me, right?

   "And then? How do you communicate? How did you recognize it?"

   "Just take the elevator together, he recognized me."

   "Are you not wearing a mask?"

   "I'm wearing it."

   "That's okay... Oh yes, he's quite short. The perspective may be different from that of ordinary people~"

   "????"

  Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry:

   "It's a little careless of you to talk about other people's pain points."

   "He plagiarized. After "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" plagiarized "Inner Circle and Outsider", I became a fan of him."

   "Plagiarism?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   "That's right, he has a book called "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams", and he copied another author's "Inner and Outer Circles"... and he still doesn't admit it. Anyway, I don't like him now~"

"Well."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin responded:

"So that's how it is... That's a little bit of knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart. He even gave me a bottle of red wine just now, and he is quite polite. But it doesn't matter... I will only live in this house once, and I will never live in this house again. Stop it. It's so scary..."

   "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i am ghost~~~~~"

   "Get out, you..."

   Seeing her start to get nervous again, Xu Xin sighed helplessly:

   "Okay, you can continue to be a ghost. I'm sleeping~"

   "Come on, big brother, talk about another ten yuan."

   "I'll give you one hundred, can you let me go?"

   "Cut, it's really boring. Then you can rest... How many days are you going to stay over there?"

   "Two days, two days of meetings tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I just want to chat with Shanghai Film Studio about "The Grandmaster". What?"

   "No, it's just... I don't feel comfortable being apart from you. I miss you~"

  Feeling his wife's longing, he said with a smile:

   "I really hope you can be by my side right now."

   "...you dare not sleep alone?"

   "..."

   "Woooooo~ I'm a ghost~ I'm a ghost~~~"

   Beep.

  Hanging up the phone without mercy, Xu Xin put the phone on the bedside table and turned off the lamp directly.

   It was dark in the bedroom.

   But less than five seconds...

   "Patter."

  The lamp is turned back on.

  Xu Xin, who was wrapped tightly in the quilt, muttered:

   "Your uncle!"

  …

   Parked in the Tomson Yipin garage is a Mercedes-Benz S600.

   There was a layer of floating dust on the windshield, obviously it hadn't been touched for a long time.

   And there is not much oil left.

  In fact, he has always been somewhat resistant to Mercedes-Benz cars, especially the high-end models. The main reason is... this car is for sitting, and when you drive it, people tend to regard you as a driver.

   But there is definitely nothing wrong with taking it and making do with it.

   After driving the car out of the basement, he walked towards the World Expo venue.

  Actually speaking from the bottom of his heart, except for the suggestions on the opening ceremony given in the early stage of the entire World Expo, his participation in the whole process was pitiful.

  The entire hosting team was selected locally from Shanghai.

  But I have to admit that from the current point of view, the progress shows that although the opening ceremony this time is a little smaller, it is better than exquisite.

  The fraternity and the way to express oneself are also presented in the most appropriate way.

   It's really good.

   And when he arrived at the conference center, Zhang Wu had already arrived.

  The two acted as Xiao Transparent at the conference as usual.

  This year’s Spring Festival is around Valentine’s Day in the Gregorian calendar year. It’s obviously not the end of the year in more than a month. There is still a lot of work to be done.

  As a consultant, Zhang Wu expressed some symbolic opinions, and this is the end.

  However, this is the first conference in 2010, and there are still many key points of the conference.

  A meeting went on all morning, even people from the construction party of the completed stadium were there.

   When it was almost 12 o'clock, the meeting was adjourned.

  In the afternoon, everyone will go to the venue in the JA area to watch a rehearsal.

   A light meal in the cafeteria at noon.

  After eating, Zhang Wu looked at Xu Xin's big Ben and raised his eyebrows:

   "Bought a new one? ... No, this model looks quite old. Why didn't I see you drive it before?"

   "I didn't know there was such a car at home before."

  Hearing this, Zhang Wu, who knew what was going on in Xiao Xu's family, laughed:

   "Haha... Let's go, then today I will take a big ride."

   "Come on, I'll be your driver. Leader, get in the car~"

   "Hahaha~"

  Zhang Wu sat in the back seat with a smile, and Xu Xin drove out of the conference center.

  The two of them have been to the rehearsal site many times, and they don't need others to lead them.

   Out of the parking lot of the conference center, Zhang Wu took out a cigarette from behind:

   "Xiao Xu, here it is."

"Eh."

  After Xu Xin took Yuxi over and ignited it, he heard Zhang Wu say:

"When you choose a car to go out in the future, try to be as low-key as possible. Especially after the spring of next year, aren't you going to be the director of translation and dubbing at Xiying Film Studio? See what cars other people in Xiying Studio drive, and you choose It’s about the same. In some places, luxury cars are not the best choice.”

   "Yes, I definitely understand that. But last night I was staying at home, and this is the only car in the basement."

   "In the future, we need to pay more attention to such details."

   Regarding Xu Xin's "explanation", Zhang Wu leaned on the seat and said unhurriedly:

"In many places, in fact, you only need to consider three things. Thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change. Sometimes you may think that you only drive this time, or you only do something once. But it happened only this time, It may have fallen into the eyes of some people. That is some unnecessary subjective impression~”

   "So...details are important, right?"

   "Yes. This is your car... I wouldn't even take a ride in someone else's car."

  With a few words, he understood the meaning of all Director Zhang's words.

   At the same time, I also kept these words in my heart.

  …

  He spent the entire day of the 8th at the World Expo.

  In the evening, he came out of the hotel directly, and drove to the dinner location agreed with Liu Momo.

  The dinner appointment today is a local restaurant in Shanghai. When he saw Liu Momo in the private room, he suddenly showed a surprised look.

  This sister has always shown people with the image of a short-haired and powerful sister.

  But at this meeting, Xu Xin discovered that she had started to grow long hair.

   "Why did you change your hairstyle? ... Looking for a boyfriend?"

  Hearing this, the corner of Liu Momo's mouth twitched...

   "Why does every one of you think I'm looking for a boyfriend when I start growing my hair?"

   "Then what hairstyle do you want to change?"

   "Because the short hair is combed crookedly."

   "...Well, it's almost time to find a boyfriend. Every time I see Uncle Liu, I always ask you to urge you. How can I urge you? You have to be conscious."

   "Thank you for your concern. I haven't seen you for a few months, your words are really "warm"."

   Liu Momo couldn't laugh or cry.

   And Xu Xin asked:

"What about the rest?"

"Let me send them away and I'm busy with "Snow Leopard". This time, "Snow Leopard" was filmed in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the days are about the same. Besides, we have to talk about some things alone, so I didn't let everyone come over."

   Liu Momo said, and rang the service bell.

   Soon the waiter came in, and she started ordering skillfully.

  Because she knew that Xu Xin was driving, she didn't mention drinking during the meal.

  After ordering the dishes, she got straight to the point with the tea:

   "What happened to "The Grandmaster" that you couldn't explain on the phone?"

   "I'm going to invest."

   "I don't like this film very much...or, I don't have the confidence to say, Wang Jiawei's commercial film."

  The moment Xu Xin heard her words, Xu Xin was stunned...

   Then it's fun.

   "Haha~"

   "What are you laughing at?"

   "Sister Mo, don't you think this sounds very familiar?"

  Liu Momo was startled... Then he realized what he was referring to.

   smiled and shook his head:

   "You can hold a grudge."

  Unknowingly, the two have known each other for more than three years.

  The cooperative relationship is getting closer and closer.

  But when he said this today, Liu Momo recalled the time when he first met.

   "I'm getting old... I'll be 30 next year..."

   "So hurry up and find someone to marry."

   "Get out of here! I'm getting impatient when you're talking about it!"

   "Tsk..."

  Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, and continued:

   "Actually, I am not optimistic about the revenue of "The Grandmaster". And...you are right, Wang Jiawei's commercial film is really hard to say. But my purpose of this matter is not to make money..."

  He began to slowly talk about the pros and cons of this.

  Liu Momo resisted at first.

  As an investor, she is actually living a very realistic life.

   Only projects that can make money are called projects.

   She did it knowing she was losing money... Maybe it was because of her low ideological awareness, but she really didn't think it was necessary.

   But following Xu Xin's narration, after understanding the meaning of this movie, she gave a very straightforward answer:

"Then vote. But...Nifeng can invest no more than five million yuan. The big head has to come from Shuangwei, and I have to be responsible for Xu Yang and his shareholders. Unlike Shuangwei, although Xu Yang and you all grew up together It doesn't matter if the hair is small.

  But a partner is a partner. For your consideration and for theirs, I will try my best to stop losses. Making money with everyone is my top priority.

   On the Shanghai Film Studio side, the support I give you is that if your negotiations are blocked, I can come forward when necessary. But you asked me to take your, Mimi, Xu Yang's money, and conduct a business that I know is losing money. I can't do it like this.

  Besides, our business in Europe is currently mainly promoting "The Voice", and I mainly focus on the film business in China. "The Great Master"...or Wang Jiawei's fame, for us, having both is the same as having a headwind.

  Because I will issue a shareholding change notice after the next year. Regardless of whether this investment is made or not, everyone will know the relationship between Shuangwei and Headwind later, so I will not invest too much money this time. I am responsible for Xu Yang and the others. Can you understand what I mean? "

"certainly."

  Xu Xin nodded.

   Liu Momo's meaning is actually very simple.

  Investing in this drama, Shuangwei is equivalent to a headwind.

  Shuangwei out means going against the wind.

  So Shuangwei came out to make a big head.

   It is not impossible to vote against the wind, but there is a problem of losing money involved. Although everyone understands that in business, there are losses and profits, even Xu Yang, Xu Zhi and the others don't necessarily care about losing 10 million to 20 million.

   But as the leader, she must be responsible for the shareholders' money.

  Even though she clearly knows that Shuangwei and Nifeng are indistinguishable from each other, secretly she also wants to help Xu Xin maintain and develop their relationship.

  So it sounds like headwinds are taking advantage of Shuangwei again.

   But in fact, it is precisely because the two companies are one, so there is no such thing as who takes advantage.

   Shuang Wei rushed forward, while she stabilized everything against the wind behind.

  If "The Grandmaster" has won numerous awards, it becomes a masterpiece of word of mouth. Then use a small investment in exchange for this honor, and at the same time help shareholders save money.

   This kind of business is called earning.

   Both the face and the inside have made a lot of money.

   is the perfect solution.

  Of course Xu Xin understood.

   That's why I'm so relieved.

   This is the practice of "one's own people" in Zheng'er Bajing.

   Clear division of labor and clear organization.

   It couldn't be more perfect.

   Seeing him nodding, Liu Momo added:

   "If you are worried that we won't be able to talk, then I can go with you tomorrow. But I can only say that I am going to the platform...Shanghai Film Studio knows that there are actually quite a few people in me. But you want to say what opinions I have to express..."

   "If you stand next to me, it is equivalent to expressing your opinion."

  Xu Xin waved his hand:

"I know you don't want people to think that you are relying on Uncle Liu to do things. You said it when we first met, so I can talk about it myself. Anyway, didn't you just open "Snow Leopard" with them? "This project? They know you, that's fine."

"Um…"

   Liu Momo nodded with a smile, then suddenly lowered his voice:

   "Then I'll tell you another thing. This matter is currently speculation in the eyes of many people, but I have talked with my dad, and there should be no problem."

   "...what's the matter?"

  Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

   "In the future, my face may be bigger than it is now."

"oh oh…"

  Xu Xin nodded subconsciously.

  But immediately realized something was wrong...

   "Huh???? You... Uncle Liu... this..."

  Liu Momo shrugged, with a look of joy on his face:

"I'm very lucky. Fortunately, Xu Yang and the others have been brought here. In the future, the less I will come forward in this kind of matter, the better... It just so happens that I can run outside business in a down-to-earth way. At least in this way, at least from the bright side, the two sides are still separated. Listen clearly. No matter what other people will talk about in the future... I am abroad every day, promoting our works, which can be regarded as honoring our own people. The farther I go, the more at ease I feel. At least the job I like and my dad No conflicts..."

  Xu Xin frowned...

   followed by a sigh...

   "Why don't you... look at me, who can do it when I'm young, just make do with it. The more you do this, the more I love you."

   "Go go go~"

   Liu Momo was speechless again:

"Brother, can you stop urging me? How can I still harm you little brats? The third-year female junior holds gold bricks, and she grew up with you, and she will start with three bricks to pretend? Aren't you Don't your own people cheat your own people? You are so unkind."

   "Hey, if I can marry you, which one of them would not burn incense?"

   "Believe it or not to sink you into the Huangpu River again?"

   "Hahaha~"

  Although I am quite anxious for the older leftover woman in front of me.

  But when she heard that she was going to sink herself into the river, Xu Xin, who hadn't expanded the villa business to the bottom of the river yet, didn't dare to be skinny.

   Just right, cold dishes are served.

  He picked up the chopsticks:

   "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. Uh, hey, handsome guy, you can add beef to me."

  Eating and chatting after a meal, although there is no wine, but using tea instead of wine can be regarded as a happy return.

  Liu Momo also came by car, so Xu Xin didn't need to send him off, and the two went their separate ways.

  Xu Xin walked for a while, and the oil gauge light came on.

   There was a gas station right in front of the road, so he walked in directly.

  A tall-looking young man ran out of the house to cheer him on.

   The two of them didn't communicate with each other when refueling. When the gas was refueled, Xu Xin followed him into the house to pay.

  Beside the computer where the money was given, there was a case with a cartoon sticker of an orc swordsman.

  A man's voice came from the speaker of the notebook:

   "Dragon DD Queen! Jumped in! BKB is on! Big move!! Seconds! Seconds! The queen descends to earth!!"

  As soon as Xu Xin heard this, he knew that DOTA was shown in the video, so he stretched his head and looked at the computer.

  Want to see who hits whom.

   "Who is hitting whom?"

   "IEM Chengdu Station, LGD will play EHOME."

  The buddy took the change and handed it to Xu Xin, and said something casually.

"live streaming?"

   "No, video."

   "LGD... old godfather? FTD?"

"right."

"Oh, this team is quite fierce. When they played CD in SMM, didn't they sink the CD? But the level of the two players in the disadvantage lane of their team is too average. It is completely due to 2009 and clues, GX Leading the team to move forward... But I remember that two days ago, I seemed to be talking about... the fierce guy who beat Chenghai 3C, what's his name... YYF, didn't he join them?"

do not know why.

  When Xu Xin said this, the buddy's expression suddenly became weird.

  Ask in a… three-point expectant, three-point apprehensive, four-point embarrassed tone:

   "You also play DOTA? What do you think of YYF?"

   "It's not bad. This man's escape is first-class, as my wife said."

   “…is your girlfriend a fan of his?”

   "No, he is my wife's fan."

  Looking at the video on the screen, Xu Xin, who was not in a hurry to leave, said something casually.

  Then... that buddy's expression changed from weird to speechless.

   came directly to the sentence:

   "Your girlfriend is Yang Mi?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at him unexpectedly, and then a bad taste began to flood.

   Pulling off his mask, revealing his true colors:

   "No, my wife is Yang Mi."

   "..."

  The young man looked at the face in front of him...

   At first, I feel familiar.

   But immediately felt speechless again.

   came a sentence:

   "Oh, then I'm YYF."

   "Blow it and you will."

   Xu Xin rolled his eyes dumbfounded.

   But he didn't get entangled, took the money, and waved to him:

"gone."

   As he spoke, he walked out of the convenience store at the gas station.

And today is the last day of the night shift. The young man who will go to the training base of the LGD team after receiving more than 3,000 salaries tomorrow morning didn't think much about it. The ID of IG_YM sent a sentence:

   "You have so many fans."

"?What's wrong?"

   "I just met a strange person who said he was Xu Xin and your husband."

   "Is this person crazy?"

   "..."

   "Okay, are you on the number? Two rows?"

   "Not tonight, I'm on the night shift."

   "Okay. Then I'll call 8 Gou to demolish the black shop."

"good."

   Exited the chat box, the young man looked at the headlights of the Mercedes-Benz in the distance, and shook his head.

  Returning Yang Mi's husband...

  The rich can also dream like this?

   "Tsk tsk."

  He smacked his mouth, eyes full of speechlessness.

   In order to prevent people from talking about water, let me explain in advance: This book has an e-sports line. Although there are not many descriptions, there are indeed some. After all, this plate is really not small.
