In the evening, the cinema was closed for maintenance.
It was still noon at the shopping street, and Lu Yao came back to inspect the shops as usual.
After making sure that the other four shops were operating normally, she went to the Furry Shop to find Ji Zhixin.
Ji Zhixin sat at a table in the corner of the small restaurant with a laptop in front of him.
The entire shopping street is actually covered by network signals, but they can only be received in areas that are not in different spaces in the stores.
However, perhaps because the Dreamland is already connected to Lu Yao's world, they have their own special network that connects the world, and the computer that Lu Yao left in the snack bar can also be used by the staff.
Except for the shop owners and snack bars, all information sent by the staff of other shops is monitored by the system. In addition, due to the confidentiality agreement, no information about the shopping street will be leaked.
At this time, Ji Zhixin was contacting old acquaintances to discuss the price of the film that Lu Yao wanted.
Lu Yao greeted him and sat down opposite him. "How did the conversation go?"
The teardrop seal brought iced sour plum soup and a sashimi platter. Lu Yao was indeed a little hungry, so he touched the little seal's furry round head before picking up the chopsticks.
Ji Zhixin looked up, "The price they offered is a little higher than our budget, and we're still negotiating."
Lu Yao: "How high?"
Ji Zhixin: "The other party is asking for five million, I think we can negotiate it down to two million."
Lu Yao picked up the spoon beside the plate and prepared to eat the sea urchin, "Um, is this a little higher?"
When buying clothes in a mall, even if you bargain for half the price, it’s not as good as this.
Ji Zhixin: "This low-budget fairy tale drama from two or three years ago didn't make a big splash when it was released, but it's good to still have this price now."
Lu Yao was stunned when he heard this.
Brother Zhixin is more capable at work than the former uncle who is the messenger of God, and he is even more confident and experienced in his familiar fields.
If it weren't for the injury to his leg, he wouldn't have been depressed for so many years.
Lu Yao believed that professionals were better in their field, so he nodded and said, "If we can come to an agreement, I will be happy. If it is really difficult, the price can be appropriately lowered."
Ji Zhixin shook his head: "No, our budget is not much to begin with. We will have to re-edit and optimize it after we buy it, which is another expense. The price must be kept as low as possible. Don't worry, I can negotiate it."
The shop owner never revealed the truth, but Ji Zhixin and Ji Feiming knew something.
She has wealth and friends in every world that ordinary people cannot imagine, but strangely these things cannot be brought to this world.
Not only that, the owner has been spending money from this world to run the store in the other world, so the funds on hand may be quite tight.
Ji Zhixin thought that the shop owner chose to occasionally reveal the existence of the shopping street to a small number of people in this world because of lack of money.
If not for this, he might not have had the chance to come to the Furry Shop.
Ji Zhixin touched his leg, and a not-so-upright thought popped up in his mind - fortunately the shop owner was still poor and had weaknesses, otherwise he might still be trapped in the dim bedroom of Tianji's hometown, exiled himself, like a walking corpse.
Lu Yao believed in Ji Zhixin's ability, so he didn't say anything more, just said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ji Zhixin shook his head. "I never thought that I would be able to go back to my old job one day. These things seem to be more interesting now than they were five years ago."
He always loved working and could easily get a sense of accomplishment from his work.
Five years later, after climbing back from the lowest point in my life, I have a clearer perspective on problems and a clearer way of thinking about how to deal with things.
After chatting with Ji Zhixin, Lu Yao walked around the various areas of the furry shop.
Everything is normal in the store, the furries are in good condition, and a certain number of autistic fish leave the Sea of Eden every day.
After touring the underwater area, Lu Yao went to the water fishing house.
Fu Chi is upstairs and comes almost every day.
Most of the time I sit alone on the pier, gazing into the distance or looking down at the sea.
Lu Yao stood by the window and looked for a while, then walked over and knelt down beside him, "Mr. Fu, how are you feeling recently?"
Fu Chi turned his head to look at her, his eyes dull, and shook his head slightly, his voice hoarse, "It's still the same."
This world is very quiet and beautiful.
Here, he can feel inner peace.
But because of this, the painful memories would come out more clearly, eroding his consciousness bit by bit.
He came here frequently, not to heal himself, but to keep getting stuck in memories and torturing himself over and over again.
Lu Yao listened to Bai Jing talk about Fu Chi's situation.
A few months ago, he was kidnapped abroad and was rescued a week later.
No one knew what he went through during that week. After he came back, he was in a daze and had no will to live.
"The treatment failed this time. The Furry Shop is not suitable for you." Lu Yao bent one leg and hugged it with both hands. The other leg was suspended in the air above the sea, gently stirring up the sea water. A few sperm whales passed by not far ahead.
Fu Chi also saw it.
These whales seem to like this sea area very much and pass by in groups from time to time.
He also saw pods of killer whales, dolphins, and giant blue whales.
"Ten million, in less than half a month." Fu Chi's face was expressionless and his tone was cold and hard.
Lu Yao's face was calm: "I said before I came here that I can't guarantee that you can recover. As of now, the furry shop really has no effect on you. For your situation, we can provide two options here. Do you want to try?"
Fu Chi was stunned: "What?"
Lu Yao: "Plan one, we have a way to directly erase memory here. Plan two, I recently opened a new store, which is next door to the movie theater. Zhixin said that you used to be a director, so you should know more about movie-related things than I do. I have a suggestion, do you want to come over to work and relax?"
Fu Chi was even more surprised than before. His usually dull eyes widened a little and he looked at Lu Yao in disbelief: "You want me to work in your store?"
Take 10 million to adjust psychological problems and work part-time
Fu Chi was almost amused.
He actually smiled, "You're so brave to say that."
Lu Yao said seriously: "These are the two best plans based on your situation. It's up to you to choose. If you don't like plan 2, choose plan 1. Don't worry, I will act quickly and make sure you forget all the unpleasant past."
Fu Chi had no doubt that Lu Yao could erase his memory.
But he no longer has any curiosity, nor does he have any desire to change.
Lu Yao observed Fu Chi's expression, but unfortunately he looked numb and couldn't tell anything. "Think about whether you want to change the treatment plan. Once you've made up your mind, just contact me directly."
After coming out of the furry shop, Lu Yao prepared to go back to the nail salon to catch up on some sleep.
Dawuchao's opening hours are different from other shops, and as it is still in its start-up phase, it needs the owner's constant attention. Her schedule has been particularly chaotic recently.
The system suddenly popped up: [Why does the owner care so much about Fu Chi and invite him to work in the cinema? ]
Lu Yao: "He has been in the furry shop for treatment for almost half a month, but his condition has not improved significantly, so we naturally have to think of a new way."
System: [The agreement we signed before was to treat him in the Furry Shop. You rarely take the initiative to invite people here to contact the other world. Could it be that you like him? ]
Lu Yao couldn't help rolling his eyes. "You've been watching too many dramas recently, so you're using your imagination. Come on, he paid 10 million. If the disease can't be cured, won't the money burn your hands?"
Fu Chi's situation is not the same as the emotional problems of ordinary people. He was born into a privileged family and had a smooth first half of his life, but suddenly suffered a heavy blow and fell too deep to get up.
People like this may find themselves repeatedly dwelling on the same issue when they calm down.
It would be better to get him moving so that he has no time to think about random things. Perhaps the effect would be better.
System: [What if he chooses to erase his memory and is unwilling to come to work? ]
Lu Yao: "Then eliminate it. I fully respect the guest's wishes."
-
Late at night, Lu Yao was awakened by the system prompt sound.
[The store has been successfully upgraded and is currently a one-star store. Please continue to work hard! ]
Lu Yao glanced at the time and it was half an hour earlier than the alarm she set.
After being woken up, it was difficult to fall asleep again, so I just got up.
When she arrived at the cinema, she first went to see the upgraded screening room, which had an extra row of seats and looked much more spacious.
Screening Room No. 2 is opposite Screening Room No. 1 and has the same layout and size.
Lu Yao felt that he finally felt like he was in a movie theater.
Back at the ticket counter in the lobby, she added the trailer of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" to the playlist.
Early in the morning, Zhu Zhu, Wen Jian and Gou Zi came to work on time and were surprised to find that a screening room had appeared in the corridor overnight.
Wen Jian and Gou Zi were doubtful and didn't dare to ask more questions.
Zhu Zhu is lively and asked Lu Yao while having breakfast.
Lu Yao's expression was normal: "The store was renovated and expanded last night."
Zhu Zhu: "Can the expansion be completed in one night?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Six hours will be enough."
Her expression and tone were so calm, as if this was a very normal thing.
During this period, Zhu Zhu and her friends have been exposed to many strange and inexplicable things such as computers, movies, popcorn machines, etc., and their ability to accept things is indeed gradually improving.
The few of them didn't ask any more questions, had breakfast and started working.
Today Zhu Zhu and Wen Jian took turns in their duties. Wen Jian is responsible for ticket sales and Zhu Zhu is responsible for ticket checking.
Gou Zi followed Lu Yao and continued to familiarize himself with the popcorn machine and beverage machine. He also guided guests in and out of the screening room and was responsible for the cleaning of the screening room.
The fact that there was an additional screening room in the store did not attract much attention among the customers. Many of them were visiting a movie theater for the first time and thought that the store had always been like this.
The advertising screen in the rest area played a new trailer on this day, and the film "The Little Chef of Shengjing" was highly anticipated.
Lu Yao planned to release "The Little Chef of Shengjing" three days after "The World's Number One".
As movies were shown one after another, the cinema’s fame spread beyond Song’an Street, and even many people in nearby areas had heard of it.
Ku Ba traveled for two days and arrived in Liangjing, where he found a street stall to eat.
The people at the next table were talking about the cinema and Ye Qingzhou, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.
After he came out from eating, he asked for directions. The person immediately said, "You are looking for the cinema. Just walk along this street and turn left and you will see it. You don't need to look carefully, the most conspicuous and unique thing at first glance is the cinema."
Ku Ba walked to Song'an Street, and sure enough, there was a particularly strange shop in the middle of a row of shops.
Even from his perspective, it seemed weird.
He walked over quickly and hid outside the door to observe.
Suddenly, the store's advertising screen began playing advertisements for popcorn and cola. Xingzi, Xiaoqie and Bai Ming, who were wearing ancient costumes, appeared on the screen. Kuba's gaze was fixed on Xiaoqie, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.
He was a killer after all, so even though he was extremely curious, he did not rush into the store immediately.
Lu Yao came back from the street and saw a man in purple clothes leaning against the glass, staring blankly at the screen in the store.
The man's clothes were draped loosely on his body. He looked handsome, but his temperament was sharp, which was somewhat different from the people of the Dawu Dynasty she had seen.
Ku Ba noticed the sight and turned to look over. He was startled by Lu Yao's clothes and suddenly covered his eyes with his hands: "Hello, Meng Lang!"
Why doesn't this person dress properly
Lu Yao: “…”
How can someone with his clothes pulled up to his shoulders, half of his chest muscles exposed, have the nerve to criticize others
Kuba didn't hear any response from the other side. He opened his middle and ring fingers a little, and when he was caught peeking, he suddenly closed them. He turned around, pulled off his outer robe, and handed it to her with his back to her, "Why don't you put on some clothes?"
Lu Yao was a little surprised. This guy was quite interesting. "Thank you for your kindness. If you are interested in the movie, why not come in and buy a ticket to watch it."
Kuba still didn't dare to look back, and shook the purple robe in his hand, "Put on your clothes first."
At this time, Zhu Zhu called out from inside: "Shopkeeper, the machine seems to have a problem and won't issue tickets."
Lu Yao ignored the crying and turned back to the store.
Kuba's ears moved slightly, he looked back and blinked continuously.
Is she the female shopkeeper that the employer wants to investigate
Lu Yao dealt with the machine problem, looked up and saw a person standing in front of him. He took a step back in shock.
The young man who was lying on the glass just now came in at some point and was looking her up and down.
She asked, "What's the matter?"
Kuba nodded and pointed to the rest area next to him, "Come with me."
Lu Yao came out from the ticket counter and asked again: "What's the matter?"
Kuba stood in front of the advertising screen without saying a word.
After the trailers of "The Best in the World" and "The Little Chef of Shengjing" were finished, the advertisement screen finally appeared. He pointed at Xiaoqie's head in the screen and asked, "Is his hair natural?"
So that's what it is.
Xiaoqie's purple hair was noticed by customers for the n+1th time, and many people also asked about Xingzi's pink hair.
Lu Yao went back to the snack bar specifically to ask, and was told that both had normal hair color when they were alive.
After arriving in the Land of Dreams, the color of my hair changed, and the reason is still unknown.
Lu Yao shook his head: "Special makeup is not natural."
Kuba's eyes widened, he glanced at Lu Yao, then quickly lowered his gaze: "I also want hair like this, how can I do it?"
At least dozens of people have asked about Xiaoqie and Xingzi’s hair, and this is the first person who wants to have the same style.
Lu Yao looked at his long hair tied up. If his hair turned purple, he would look so scary walking on the street.
She lowered her eyes: "Well, this matter is a bit complicated, and it won't be fixed in a short time."
Kuba looked up and said, "It's okay. Just take your time. I have patience. What's your price?"
Lu Yao: “…It’s not about money.”
Crying Eight: "Since money is not a problem, what else is the problem?"
Lu Yao: “…”
He cried in the cinema and begged Lu Yao to give him purple hair.
The shopkeeper was not persuaded to soften his heart no matter how hard he tried, so he started telling stories.
Ku Ba had an opponent since he was a child. That person was born with silver hair and could not see, but he was extremely talented in martial arts.
From childhood to adulthood, Kuba has never defeated him.
Ku Ba dreamed of defeating that man, and he studied and practiced diligently, but more than ten years had passed and he still could not gain any advantage over him.
When I saw the little eggplant's purple hair just now, I cried as if I had just woken up from a dream.
The man is so strong, it must be because his hair is different from others.
If he also had his natural purple hair, he might be able to beat him.
Lu Yao listened to the first second: "..."
This guy has given up on his reputation in order to dye his hair.
Second second.
Silver hair, blind, strong in fighting power.
Third second.
She raised her head slowly: "Okay, I can dye your hair. In exchange, you will work as a waiter in my theater for three months."
Kubaxin was surprised that there was such a good thing. She was worried that she had no excuse to get close. "Okay, I promise you. When can I... dye my hair?"
Lu Yao: "Maybe in ten days."
