After finishing working on the script, Li Mu went to have a meal with Chen Wan. His sister had started working at Yanjing TV Station on Monday, but he had not bothered to ask her about her work at Yanjing TV these days. What life feels like.
The two made an appointment at a Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot restaurant. The original appointment was for seven o'clock. Li Mu arrived at the place at 6:40, and then received a call from Chen Wan, apologetically saying that he suddenly had to work overtime and might have to wait for a while.
Li Mu said: "It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business. I have nothing to do anyway, so I will wait for you here."
Afterwards, Li Mu waited for a full hour and a half.
At 8:10, a tired Chen Wancai hurried over. As soon as she sat down in front of Li Mu, she said with a guilty look on her face: "Are you anxious after waiting for so long? I'm really sorry. My sister didn't expect to be asked to work overtime all of a sudden. .”
Li Mu smiled and said: "Why are you so alienated from me? Even if I wait until twelve o'clock, you don't need to apologize to me."
Chen Wan felt warm in her heart, stood up slightly, reached out and grabbed Li Mu's hair, and said with a bit of doting, "I knew you were the best among the boys in the world."
Li Mu stretched his head slightly towards her, letting her gently hold his hair, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are a bit too flattering to me. How have you been at work these past two days?"
"Work..." Chen Wan suddenly felt melancholy, pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "It's okay, it's just busier than I thought."
Li Mu asked her: "What are you busy with?"
Chen Wan said: "When I was interviewed, I was asked to be an on-site assistant host for a variety show, but I think it will take a while before I can appear on the show. Now it is mainly about training and being an assistant to the host."
"What kind of assistant?"
Chen Wan said: "I work as an assistant both at work and in life. Anyway, I just do whatever I am asked to do. I am the one who does the work, runs errands and does chores, and I am the one who buys coffee and afternoon tea."
Li Mu frowned: "So fucked? What the hell is this what an assistant host should do?"
Chen Wan said with a smile: "Interns are pretty much the same everywhere. Besides, the position of assistant host is actually quite popular. I didn't expect that I would be chosen in the end. Since I have to study and practice for a period of time, I have to work harder. Just get through this period and it’ll be fine.”
Seeing that she was so open-minded, Li Mu nodded lightly. Internships are indeed more miserable. No matter what industry they are in, they are basically inevitably subject to various demands. It is normal for this kind of thing to happen to anyone, but Li Mu still feels a little bit. I feel sorry for Chen Wan, a naive and simple Bai Fumei, who came so far to develop in a city with no connections and no foundation. If she suffers any further grievances, she will not be able to accept it.
So, Li Mu reminded her softly: "Although interns have to suffer a little bit, you also have to protect yourself a little. You have to do what you should do, and you have to learn to resist what you shouldn't do. Don't do it for an assistant." I have wronged myself by being cautious in my hosting work.”
Chen Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, with a different kind of happiness on her face, and said with a smile: "Bad boy, you started educating me before you even finished your freshman year."
As she spoke, Chen Wan smacked her lips again and said, "However, some people are really rich now. As a newbie to Yanjing, I really need to be protected by them."
Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, in this city, you have me for everything."
Chen Wan's fatigue disappeared instantly when Li Mu said these words.
…
Before leaving Yanjing, Li Mu found the agency company he had been working with and planned to register a shell company. The company's name is Makino Image. Although the name also has the word Makino, this company has no capital relationship with Makino Technology.
Makino Image is positioned in the cultural fields such as television and film and television production. However, it was just an empty shell at the beginning. Li Mu was not prepared to devote his energy to film and television entertainment. However, this time he wanted to film "Old Boy" and he needed a company to use it. Come and sign contracts with all parties. In addition to the shooting team, there are also sponsors of the microfilm.
Because he was sure that this micro-movie would be a big hit, Li Mu decided to let Tieba be the chief sponsor. In addition to Tieba, many other areas can be used to attract investment, such as clothing, drinks, mobile phones, even bicycles, cars, etc. There are simple Li Mu is not worried about sponsors for this currently popular plan. The initial shooting cost is set at two million. As the chief sponsor of Tieba, he can sign a sponsorship agreement directly from Makino Technology, which can support a sponsorship fee of three to five million. Then the online broadcast rights of "Oldboy" will be authorized to Yi*Ting.com.
As for the rest of the investment promotion, Li Mu didn't care at all. He went back and signed the contract with the four people from Simple Plan. After getting the contract, he spread the news on Tieba and Yi*ting.com, and he didn't worry about no one coming.
This week I went to Haizhou to assist students. The battle was bigger than before. Zhao Kang and Su Yingxue also went back with the 3321 student aid team. Dong Ai had booked a flight ticket for Friday afternoon in advance and arranged a drop-off. and pick-up car.
Before the last class ended on Friday, Li Mu received a text message from Zhao Ziqiu: "I heard that you are going back to your hometown to assist students this weekend?"
Li Mu's fingers were flying: "Yes, I'll leave later."
Zhao Ziqiu replied: "I originally wanted to go with you after hearing about it, but my dad is coming over this week."
Li Mu asked: "Come to see you? It seems like your parents just came here not long ago."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "My dad came to discuss things and took a look at me. It's so annoying. I still want to go out for a walk. It would be great if I could visit your hometown."
Li Mu then replied: "It's better to spend time with your family first. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Zhao Ziqiu: "But I haven't seen you for several days."
"Last time I went to see Yanan's mother, you weren't there."
"Then you won't come to Yanda to find me? It's not that far to begin with!"
"Wait until I come back. Can I treat you to dinner next week?"
"You said it, don't change your mind."
"Don't worry, I will do what I say."
"That's pretty much it. Remember to tell me when you land."
"good!"
The flight was around seven o'clock, and when get out of class ended at 5:30, Li Mu walked out of the teaching building carrying his backpack that he had packed long ago, and met Su Yingxue at the door of another teaching building.
Su Yingxue pulled a suitcase for the flight. A girl needs to take more things with her when going out. Plus she will stay at home for three nights this time.
Several brothers from dormitory 606 also came one after another. Dong Ai also brought three girls to meet everyone. Since the air tickets were arranged and booked by Dong Ai, she had known that Su Yingxue would go with them. After meeting Su Yingxue, , she even took the initiative to say hello to Su Yingxue, and the two chatted quite happily.
A minibus that had been contacted in advance was already waiting outside the school. Everyone walked out of the school in a mighty manner. Li Mu called Zhao Kang at the same time and asked where he was. Zhao Kang replied: "I will be at your school in five minutes." The door."
Li Mu said he would see you later. As soon as he hung up the phone, the class teacher caught up with him panting.
"Li Mu! Where will you 3321 help students this week?"
Looking at the out-of-breath class teacher, Li Mu said, "Haizhou, what's wrong?"
The class teacher hurriedly asked: "Are you coming back next Monday?"
Li Mu nodded: "I'll be here on Monday night. It won't affect class on Tuesday."
The class teacher waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I just received a notice from the school leaders that the leaders of the ministries and commissions will come to the National People's Congress for inspection next Monday. The dean asked me to convey the instructions given to him by the school leaders. You must show up at the school on Monday morning."
Li Mu frowned: "Our donation ceremony is always on Monday, how do you expect me to come back in time?"
The class teacher said: "Oh, then don't go. Just let Dong Ai lead the team. Wasn't it always like this before?"
Li Mu said: "Boss is going to Haizhou this time, and I am from Haizhou!"
The class teacher was startled and said awkwardly: "Look, the secretary from the ministry just received the notice from the school leadership."
Li Mu asked him: "Can you ask the leaders of the ministries and commissions to change the time to Tuesday? Everyone will come back on Tuesday."
The class teacher looked at Li Mu awkwardly: "This is not something we just said! The leaders of the ministries and committees notified us, but they did not discuss it with us. You should just put the matter of student assistance aside. You 3321 will have many opportunities to assist students in the future. It’s gone, it’s not easy for the leaders of ministries and commissions to come...”
Regarding the reports of 3321 in major media, Li Mu has gone from the initial expectation to the current numbness. 3321 has now become famous and has reached his highest expectations. Therefore, in this case, he is not inspecting the leaders of ministries and commissions. He was very interested. In contrast, he still hoped to do a real student aid activity in his hometown middle school.
However, Li Mu saw the nervous and anxious look on the class teacher's face and knew in his heart that it would be inappropriate for him not to show up on Monday.
After thinking for a while, Li Mu said regretfully: "Okay, I'll be back on Sunday night."
The class teacher's face lit up with joy: "That's pretty damning! You're not allowed to give up before the battle begins!"
Li Mu nodded: "Don't worry."
The class teacher then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey!"
After saying goodbye to the class teacher, Li Mu felt a little bitter. Su Yingxue comforted him in a low voice and said, "Don't be unhappy. How about I come back with you on Sunday night."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "I'm not unhappy, just a little regretful. Didn't you make a reservation to come back on Monday? Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home for one more day?"
Su Yingxue curled her lips and said: "I didn't want to miss school on Monday. It was you who encouraged me so I agreed. Now you want to come back on Sunday night. I couldn't ask for it. I just want to come back with you so that you won't be alone. People are too lonely, so I won’t miss going to class on Monday.”
Seeing the sincerity of what she said, Li Mu felt warm in his heart. He nodded slightly and said to Dong Ai, "Senior Ai, please help us change our tickets."
"Okay." Dong Ai nodded, but there was a deep feeling of disappointment in her heart. She had realized earlier that Li Mu was the perfect match for her idea of the opposite sex, but she also knew in her heart that this was her own good. The object of her best friend's crush, she was already very inferior to Chen Wan, but she didn't expect that it would be her first time to help students, and she would see Zhao Ziqiu on the plane who came specifically for Li Mu. When she saw Zhao Ziqiu, her heart felt... Her inferiority complex became even stronger. Looking at Su Yingxue now, she felt that she had been completely outshone by these three women.
