The taxi stopped at the intersection. Gao Si got out first, followed by Gao Meng, Liu Tang and Wen Bin. They stood on the side of the road with confused looks on their faces.
Liu Tang pointed to the shopping street at the end of the alley and said, "Isn't that where I work?"
It was a sparsely populated suburb. In the distance, there was only a row of deserted low houses, hidden in a weed-covered valley. The four people in the group were all very unsure about where to go.
Gauss took out his phone, confirmed the location on it, and stepped onto the path, "Go down and take a look."
"This is too desolate, is this really where I work?" Wen Bin looked very unhappy, and he took two steps before stopping. "Brother Gao, why don't you call Sister Chen and ask if she gave me the wrong address?"
Gauss was still walking down, "Now that we're here, let's go down and take a look first."
Wenbin didn't want to leave anymore. "Brother Gao, I told you straight out, someone asked me to go over and work with them a few days ago. They had too much work to handle. I didn't go back right away, thinking that I could settle down here. Now it seems that's not going to work, so I won't go this time."
Gao Meng and Liu Tang looked at a loss, but neither of them said anything.
Their team has been experiencing business instability since its formation, so this situation was almost expected.
I just didn’t expect that nothing happened during the most difficult time. Now that we have finally found a place to settle down, people’s hearts are not united.
Gao Si persuaded Wenbin that when Chen Yutong introduced this place, she mentioned many times that this job was rare, so it would be better to meet the boss first and find out the situation before making a decision.
But Wenbin found the desolate and abandoned street below the path ridiculous, so he turned and walked towards the main road without looking back: "I'm not going there, you guys go ahead."
Wenbin walked to the opposite side of the place where they got off the bus and faced the three people with a blank expression.
A taxi happened to come, he waved his hand to stop it, got in and drove away.
Gao Meng and Liu Tang looked at Gao Si with helpless and confused eyes.
Gao Si shook his head and called to the two people: "I believe Sister Chen, go and take a look first."
Gao Meng and Liu Tang also felt that since they were already here, they should at least take a look.
What if they were in the wrong place
Maybe the real office location is in an office building in the city, and the location Brother Gao received was wrong.
The three of them walked along the fork in the road into the shopping street. Gao Meng suddenly grabbed Gao Si's clothes and shouted, "Brother, look! There are luxury cars lined up over there!"
Gao Si and Liu Tang looked over and were both stunned.
It was very strange to see four or five luxury cars parked side by side in the wilderness.
Later they found that there were four or five shops on both sides of this small street with brand new signs hanging on them. They were neat and clean, and seemed to be really open for business.
It’s just that the name of all the shops is prefixed with “Lu Yao”, and there are no customers on the street, which makes it a bit creepy in broad daylight.
Liu Tang was a little hesitant, "Brother Gao, this place is really a bit uncomfortable."
Ji Feiming happened to come out of the blind box store and saw Gao Si and his friends standing in the middle of the road. He walked over with a hesitant look on his face and asked, "What do you want to do for me?"
Gao Sidao explained his purpose, and Ji Feiming went to the cinema and called Fu Chi out.
Gauss and the other two were now sure that the location of their cell phones was correct; the person who had invited them was really on this street.
Fu Chi looked at the three people and walked over slowly: "Didn't you say there were four people?"
Gao Si looked a little embarrassed. "That colleague had some family matters and went back to visit his relatives. Only the three of us came here."
Fu Chi didn't think much about it. As long as they could do the job, three or four people would do. He explained, "The owner is out for something and hasn't come back yet. Come with me to sign the contract. There's a film waiting to be edited."
Lu Yao knew that the Gauss team was coming today, so before leaving, he handed over the contract matters to Ambrose at the nail salon.
The Grand Necromancer had lived as a human for several decades before changing his profession, and he was quite familiar with the various contracts drawn up by Lu Yao.
In order not to scare these three people, the Great Necromancer even disguised himself as a human.
After receiving a notice from Fu Chi, they had to bring three humans over to sign a contract. The employees at the nail salon all wanted to watch the fun. Mumu transformed into a little boy who looked like Lu Yao, and the twin goblins hid in the clothes of the necromancer.
Gauss and the other two signed the contract in a daze.
The staff and customers in that nail salon were all wearing CS uniforms. They didn't recognize the CS characters, but several of the CSers were so good-looking that they couldn't take their eyes off them.
When Liu Tang left the nail salon, he looked at Mumu a few more times, which made Mumu a little shy and she quietly hid behind Edward.
The editing department was not incorporated into the cinema. Lu Yao spent extra popularity points to renovate a small shop next to the cinema, added computers and furniture, and separated half of it as an office for Gauss and other two.
The work area of the post-production team is separated by transparent soundproof glass, and the remaining area is furnished with sofas, refrigerators, small kitchens and toilets, which serve as a resting place for the shopping street staff. Xiao Ji, Xiao Xiao Ji, Xiao Fu and Su Su can come here to rest and play.
Liu Tang and Gao Meng were very surprised when they saw the work station.
I didn't expect the working environment to be so good. The special equipment are all the latest models. There is also a tea room, smoking area, rest area, refrigerator, air conditioner, and kitchen.
Apart from signing a rather cumbersome confidentiality agreement, the salary and benefits listed when Chen Yutong introduced the job to them were basically all met, and were even more comprehensive than what was proposed at the time.
Gao Meng gently pulled Liu Tang, "This place is really nice, do you want to ask Wenbin to come back?"
Liu Tang turned his head to look at Gauss, who was also satisfied with the office environment.
This place is remote but quiet, which is suitable for the nature of their work.
He also heard what Gao Meng said, and shook his head and said, "Mr. Fu just said that there are only three of us who signed the confidentiality agreement, so we will only recruit three."
Liu Tang and Gao Meng nodded, it was hard to say.
They have signed a confidentiality agreement.
Liu Tang then started to worry about another thing. "This place is actually not bad for work, but it's too remote. Where can I eat lunch?"
Gao Meng said, "Isn't there a snack bar across the street?"
Liu Tang: "If you eat it every day, you will get tired of it. And the food in a snack bar in a place like this is probably not good."
Fu Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the store provides breakfast and lunch for all employees, and someone will deliver meals to us at mealtime."
Gauss and the other two were even more surprised now.
Meals are provided. What kind of divine treatment is this
Fu Chi added: "All the shops on this street are owned by Lu Yao, but you'd better not go around without permission, especially the snack shop at the corner of the street."
Gauss and the other two didn't quite understand, and Fu Chi didn't give any specific explanation.
Now he understood that the shop was connected to the underworld.
Gao Si and the other two had not originally planned to start working right away, but the atmosphere in the shopping street was too good.
When Fu Chi took out the source material of "Moon Landing Project" and said that they should discuss the editing details first and make a trailer as soon as possible, they couldn't say no.
After the communication was completed, Fu Chi returned to the cinema.
Gauss and the other two started working. In the middle, Wenbin called and said that he was packing his bags and getting ready to leave.
At that time, the three of them were busy editing the film and discussing the details of the trailer. The four of them had previously rented a small suite as a studio and lived and ate together.
Wenbin is leaving, and there will be some division of rent and furniture.
Gauss answered the phone and told him to pack up whatever he wanted to take. As for rent and living expenses, he could contact him after get off work in the evening.
Wenbin was a little surprised that they actually worked there, and was glad that he had another place to go.
After hanging up the phone, Wenbin hummed a song while packing his things.
-
It was almost noon when Lu Yao returned from Yeguang City.
But it was closing time at the cinema.
She didn't have time to ask the editing team and went straight to the cinema.
The screen brought back from Night Light City consists of three parts: the main screen, two black boxes for auxiliary stereoscopic projection, and a host computer.
Lu Yao stood in front of the cinema, looked up at the second floor, and instructed the system to measure the distance.
The main screen is placed on the second floor of the cinema, and the two black boxes are placed in symmetrical positions, one on the left and one on the right.
Lu Yao looked left and right and only Chunxi Tower and Rongxi Study were suitable.
Both stores have second floors and are located next to the cinema.
Lu Yao brought a basket of fresh seafood just caught from Mao Rongrong's shop and went to discuss with Le Han. He ran into Shopkeeper Rong, and the two were drinking tea on the second floor.
After hearing what the waiter had said, Le Han immediately asked her to come up. Seeing the basket in her hand, he was very surprised, "Manager Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Yao approached and lifted the soft cloth covering it. "Here's some seafood. Shopkeeper Le, please try it."
The portable warehouse cannot store living things, and the shrimps, crabs and sea fish in the basket were already dead when Lu Yao brought it over.
However, the colors of these seafood are still very bright, the fish eyes are clear and the fish gills are bright red.
Le Han was a person who loved to eat, and he could tell at a glance that these people had just died not long ago.
He was amazed: "Manager Lu, where did you get such fresh sea fish, shrimps and crabs?"
Lu Yao began to "make up friends out of nothing", making up stories, and then said to Rong Shenghua: "Manager Rong also has a basket, but I haven't had time to go to Rong Xi's study yet."
Rong Shenghua thought Lu Yao was just being polite and Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously.
But this basket of ingredients looks really fresh.
When he was young, he traveled to a fishing village near the south coast and saw such fresh sea fish.
They could tell there was something wrong with what the shopkeeper had just said about "a gift from a friend".
It’s just that things in movie theaters cannot be judged by common sense, and they are used to it.
But later Lu Yao said that he wanted to borrow the two shops to place some kind of computer case because a larger advertising screen was to be added on the second floor of the cinema.
Only then did Rong Shenghua believe that Lu Yao really intended to give him a basket of seafood.
Le Han and Rong Shenghua exchanged glances and agreed to help Lu Yao without hesitation.
Lu Yao proposed to rent two shops for a long time to use as rooms for the black box.
Before the night curfew, Lu Yao placed the two black boxes in the rooms closest to the cinema on the second floor of Chunxi Tower and the second floor of Rongxi Study, adjusted the positions, and set up magic barriers.
When she finished her work and returned to the cinema, it was just curfew time.
In the cinema late at night, only a row of small warm yellow lights were on in the lounge area on the second floor.
Lu Yao sat on the floor and took out a handful of small black dragon scales from his pocket and spread them all over the floor.
She wanted to try it one last time and help the little black dragon lock the coordinates of this time and space.
When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, she will start installing the big screen on the second floor.
Even though she had engraved the magic circle on the screen in advance, she was still a little worried, after all, she had to avoid the night watchman.
It would be much more convenient if Harold was here.
Harold could vaguely sense the scent of dragon scales in the nail salon, and could also feel his scales being gently stroked, which was a bit itchy.
He tried many times in succession, and finally on the thirteenth time, he successfully locked the coordinates of the Dawu Dynasty.
A giant black dragon clawed at the night sky, its tail circling behind the clouds and its huge head half hanging above them.
The little black dragon's body seemed to have grown a little.
There is a full moon tonight.
The moon was covered by a shadow, and amidst the lightning and thunder, heavy rain suddenly came down.
Lu Yao stood at the second-floor window, waved to the little black dragon, and whispered, "Harold, here. Come down quickly."
The black dragon rolled twice in the clouds before it transformed into a human form and jumped into the window on the second floor of the cinema.
After marking it with magic, he will be able to come over next time without having to stay in dragon form.
Harold used magic to dry the clothes. Before he started working, he took a look around the two floors of the cinema. He was a little jealous: "Your store is becoming more and more impressive."
Compared to this, nail salons are nothing.
Lu Yao poured him a cup of hot milk and said, "Drink something. You're soaked by the rain just now."
How could a dragon with such a strong body be afraid of a little wind and rain
But Harold didn't say anything. He took the cup and drank it in one gulp. He held out his hand to her: "Give me the screen. Install it quickly and go back to bed."
The heavy rain poured down, clanging on the tiles, like a heavy curtain constantly pressing on the city.
In the palace, the emperor's bedroom.
Emperor Wu suddenly woke up, his eyes filled with shock and pain.
After a long time, Emperor Wu gradually came to his senses. Hearing the heavy sound of rain, he sat up, his eyes full of confusion.
This... is his bedroom
Qin Mingde stood behind the curtain, hunched over, and asked softly, "Is your majesty awake?"
Emperor Wu was shocked again, his mind in a mess.
Didn't he pass away
