When it was time to eat at noon, Lu Chengyu looked at the table full of various farmhouse delicacies. There were three dishes made of fish, fish head tofu soup, boiled fish, and pickled fish. The colors are not as particular as those in the big hotel, but at first glance, people can't help but move their index fingers, and he can even smell the sour smell of fish with pickled cabbage.
"It's rare for everyone to get together like this today to have a drink," Zhuang Yu picked up the wine made by the farmer himself, "The brothers are so familiar with Xiao Lu, so I don't need to introduce them to you again."
The other people raised their wine glasses with a smile and made a few jokes, but they had already included Lu Chengyu in their own circle.
Lu Chengyu is not a person who pretends to be arrogant. Others handed him an olive branch. Of course he is willing to follow it. He picked up the glass and got up and said, "A few are older than me, so I will shamelessly call everyone a brother, this glass of wine I will first Respect." After speaking, he raised his neck and drank.
Everyone present already knew that Lu Chengyu was Yan Mu's assistant, and he was still a student who had just graduated, so he had this drink first. Although several people applauded Lu Chengyu's cheerfulness in unison, no one continued to drink. Instead of drinking wine, we started to taste the food together and chatted about the recent big and small things.
"Among us, Lao Zhuang and Brother Mu should be the most proud." Qi Jingfeng is also considered to be a figure in Shangjing, and he is also very close to Yan Mu and the other three, he said with a bit of envy, "You are both A person who has a successful career, who is not like me, still idles around and runs a small company with family money. Having said that, the popular "Flying Bird" in the past few days has made you a lot of money, Lao Zhuang. I heard that the box office is almost over 400 million, is it true?"
Zhuang Yu laughed a few times, obviously in a good mood, "This is really unexpected. When I introduced it, I thought that the box office might exceed 100 million. How did I know it would be so popular."
"Isn't it possible to make such a profit for a movie that cost several million?" Qi Jingfeng frowned, "The movie I cast last year cost tens of millions, and it almost didn't cost me anything."
"There's nothing we can do about it," Zhuang Yu shook his head. "Investing in movies is a combination of luck and vision. Now this popular movie can sell well, firstly because it has a lot to watch, and secondly because recently All the big-budget movies in ancient costumes are shown, and the audience is a little tired. Whoever wants to watch those empty and depressing blockbusters might as well watch something interesting and relaxing. So this "Flying Bird" is a table of fat. Can the only small green vegetables in the greasy meat sell well?"
As an investor in this film, Lu Chengyu smiled and listened to the conversation between the two. For the film "Flying Birds", he has already discussed with Zhuang Yu about the time to delay the movie. According to the current momentum, there should be a box office of about one billion yuan when the theater line is released. This is not to mention the capital income from the introduction and purchase of major TV stations and online broadcasting platforms. Thinking that he will soon become a billionaire, he will I feel comfortable all over.
In the last life, the total box office of "Flying Bird" was only nearly 900 million. This may be because the cinema did not promote it in the early stage. In this life, he cooperated with Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu contributed to the promotion of this movie in the cinema, and because he did not point fingers at the film during the shooting, the effect of the whole film was better than that in the previous life, and the money he earned would be more. Not surprisingly.
"But this is too evil," Qi Jingfeng lit a cigarette between his fingertips, took a puff and remembered that Yan Mu and Zhang Zeyun didn't smoke, so he snuffed it out again, "Who is the investor in this drama, this is so lucky I'm jealous."
"People don't want to reveal it, and I don't have a lot of mouths." Zhuang Yu didn't look at Lu Chengyu's direction, picked up a piece of fish belly, tasted it, and said with a smile, "These fishes caught by Xiao Lu taste good. , all of you guys have a taste."
"I'm just complaining, anyway, whoever makes money won't share it with me, it's useless to ask," Qi Jingfeng took a chopstick of fish and meat into a bowl, and said to Lu Chengyu, "Xiaolu's fishing level is higher than Laozhuang's. Lao Zhuang has an opponent now." He is a smart man and knows the rules in the circle, since Zhuang Yu is not easy to talk about, he will not ask any more.
Lu Chengyu smiled: "I have been fishing since I was a child. This is more than ten years of operation experience. The fish that died on my hook can go around this farmhouse." He tasted the fish, "However, there are still So many fish, can we bring them back later?"
"Fart, just blow it, why don't you say that the fish you catch is like a certain brand of milk tea, and it can go around the earth twice?" Zhuang Yu continued with a smile, pointing to the dishes on the table, " Now let's finish this table first."
Zhang Zeyun glanced at Zhuang Yu, he always felt that there was something wrong with Zhuang Yu at noon today, and he didn't communicate much with Brother Mu during the whole process. And Brother Mu too. Usually, because he likes quietness and doesn't like to join in the fun, why did he take the initiative to come today
Lu Chengyu chuckled, "The earth is too big, my fish is too small, they can't do it." Looking back, Yan Mu was eating fish almost all the time since he opened the meal, and he didn't use his chopsticks much for other dishes, so he said to him: " Boss, I think that fried cauliflower with bacon tastes very good, you can try it."
When Yan Mu heard this, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked them twice, one for meat and one for cauliflower. After eating, he nodded to Lu Chengyu, "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me for such a trivial matter," Lu Chengyu smiled. "You took care of me twice when I got drunk. If you want to be as polite as you, don't you want to show your respect?" The boss is so polite and polite. He was really flattered for the staff.
"Cough cough," Yan Mu suddenly blushed from the vegetables in his throat. Seeing that he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even speak, Lu Chengyu hurriedly scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and let him drink a few sips. After seeing that he felt a lot better, he said, "Are you OK?"
Yan Mu shook his head very calmly, put down the soup bowl and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "It's okay, thank you..." Remembering what Lu Chengyu said just now, he swallowed the word "thank you" at the back, and continued to stretch his chopsticks to pick the pickled cabbage fish.
Seeing that Yan Mu seemed to be on the hook today, Lu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and turned to pick his favorite food. After all, watching others eat is still very disgusting. If such a good boss's impression of him falls to a negative value, it would be a tragedy.
Zhang Zeyun found that Zhuang Yu was looking at Brother Mu again, so he couldn't help but glanced around the two with suspicious eyes. Could it be that the two had a conflict today? But with Brother Mu's personality, it would be very difficult for Lao Zhuang to have a successful conflict with him.
After a meal, all the uncles in the room were full of stomachs. Lu Chengyu looked at the slightly bright autumn sun outside the window, smelled the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, turned his head to Yan Mu and said, "This Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake, Colleagues seem to be satisfied."
"Well," Yan Mu paused and asked hesitantly, "Will you still work in the company in the future?"
"Where is the company?" Lu Chengyu didn't think much about the words when he first said it. After a few seconds, he realized what Yan Mu meant. The other party felt that he had made a lot of money from investing in movies and was unwilling to work in Huading anymore.
"Other things are hobbies, and working in Huading is my serious job," Lu Chengyu felt that he had to show his loyalty to the boss, so he joked, "I am also a member of the Q Economic Management Branch this year. Representative, if you don’t mix in the business world in the future, how will alumni face the teachers and alumni of your alma mater in the future?”
"Well, I can't bear you either," Yan Mu added, as if he felt that his words were inappropriate, "You are a rare good employee, and Huading needs you."
"Then boss, you must send me a thick red envelope for the Chinese New Year this year. With money, I will be more motivated," Lu Chengyu said with a smile, "It would be boring to get a red envelope without a red envelope during the Chinese New Year."
Yan Mu nodded seriously: "Okay." He thought for a while, "I'll give you a salary increase after this year." Lu Chengyu's work ability has exceeded the salary level he received.
The release of "Flying Birds" has also increased the exposure of Huading's products. The following data report shows that the amount of sales has been increasing significantly recently, which are all benefits brought by this film. .
Under the serious eyes of the other party, Lu Chengyu felt a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, pointed to the grape trellis outside and said, "Let's sit there and drink tea for a while, there's nothing interesting in the room."
Yan Mu stood up and took two steps towards the door. Seeing that Lu Chengyu was still sitting, he asked, "Aren't you going?"
"Let's go," Lu Chengyu reacted, stood up and was about to follow, when Zhuang Yu on the side stepped forward and hooked his shoulders, "I'll go with you, a few of them will play mahjong later, I'm not interested in that thing. I'm not interested, why don't I chat with you for a while."
"Okay," Lu Chengyu asked the others. After hearing that they couldn't answer, he put his backhand on Zhuang Yu's shoulder, "Let's go."
Zhuang Yu laughed, pretending not to see Yan Mu's gaze on his shoulders, maintaining a posture of hooking his shoulders with Lu Chengyu, and letting go of his somewhat stiff arms all the way under the grape trellis. He consciously chose a seat next to him, watching Yan Mu sitting between him and Lu Chengyu, silently accepting the bold guess that he couldn't believe before.
Halfway through the tea, Zhuang Yu took advantage of Lu Chengyu's time to go to the toilet, looked at Yan Mu several times, and finally made up his mind, "Brother Mu, Xiao Lu..."
"What's wrong with him?" Yan Mu slowly turned his head to look at him.
He laughed dryly, feeling that he couldn't keep asking about the matter, so he said, "It's good."
"Well," Yan Mu nodded and said very seriously, "so I will train him to become the backbone of my elite."
"It's good to cultivate into an elite," Zhuang Yu nodded again and again, "It's good to be an elite."
Yan Mu turned the teacup in his hand and continued to say calmly, "I like him very much too."
Zhuang Yu: "..."
Yan Mu took a sip from the teacup, turned to look at the path leading to the toilet, Lu Chengyu was walking from the corner, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "I'm serious."
He opened his mouth, but Zhuang Yu didn't know what to say. From an ethical point of view, as a friend, he hoped that Yan Mu would find a virtuous and gentle woman to spend the rest of his life. But emotionally speaking, he also hopes that Yan Mu can find someone who agrees with him, no matter who the other party is, as long as the two are sincere together, support each other and live happily for the rest of their lives, it is best.
And he also knows that Lu Chengyu is not a little white face or a phoenix man. No matter from which point of view, Lu Chengyu is the type that is popular with the opposite sex. In this respect, Brother Mu may be slightly inferior to Lu Chengyu.
What the hell, thinking about it this way, why does Brother Mu feel like a toad who wants to eat swan meat
He shook his head, and finally just sighed: "Xiao Lu is very good, but does he know your thoughts?"
Yan Mu drank the tea without saying a word, but Zhuang Yu, who knew him well, knew that Yan Mu was a serious person. People with this kind of advantage also have a problem, that is, if they identify something, let alone eight horses, even sixteen horses can't be pulled back.
He sighed again, but when he turned around, he saw that Lu Chengyu was chatting with a young girl not far away, and the girl seemed to be quite good looking.
Suddenly, he looked at Yan Mu with a bit of sympathy in his eyes.
"That's his college classmate," Yan Mu glanced at Zhuang Yu calmly, without the slightest impatience on his face.
"How do you know?" Zhuang Yu was surprised.
"I've seen his graduation photo," Yan Mu squinted, "This girl is also on the photo. If they had anything, it would have happened long ago."
Although he believed in Yan Mu's memory ability, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but ask: "What if this girl has a crush on Xiao Lu, but Xiao Lu doesn't know what to do?"
Yan Mu touched the teacup and glanced at the girl beside Lu Chengyu, his tone remained calm: "Then it's impossible between them."
Just when Zhuang Yu sighed in his heart that Yan Mu was still as calm as ever, he felt a dark shadow flashing around him, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Mu striding in the direction of Lu Chengyu.
Che, pretending to be so similar, almost made him believe it.
He just said that secret jealousy should be a must-have skill for every secret lover. No matter how powerful Brother Mu is, he can't escape the laws of nature.
Therefore, when God created man, although it was a little eccentric, it was generally fair.
