Although Wang Shaohua himself is not very capable, when the old man did not retire, he was considered to be someone in the court who knew many small details of Yanjing. Take the license plate as an example, everyone thought that A8 was awesome, but it was not the case. , starting with A8 is too broad. It depends on the numbers behind A8. Only the first few numbers represent some privileged departments, and the last few numbers are fake and fake.
For the Li Mu brand, the number plates are returned to the National Bureau of Management. However, not all of these license plates are actually issued by the National Bureau of Management. The Bureau of National Bureau of Statistics uses part of it itself, and the remaining part of the indicators is generally issued to related households. This related household It's not something you can get by just meeting an acquaintance in the department. A real number plate within the department can be distributed outside the department for less than a hundred yuan in total.
Su Yuehua was a little surprised when he heard that the State Administration Department was also a little surprised, and subconsciously said: "Maybe it was borrowed, right? Isn't his a commercial car?"
Wang Shaohua sighed: "It's extraordinary to be able to borrow this car and this brand."
Su Yuehua said with a smile: "You forgot, the last time someone invited us to dinner, we went to Fayue Restaurant, and after eating so much money, someone quietly paid him the bill. He has a lot of connections."
Wang Shaohua sighed: "That's right. This guy's 3321 is now cooperating with 211 and 985 universities across the country. According to the internal evaluation of the education department, 3321 is now the largest student aid charity project in the country with the largest funding scale and the widest coverage of students. Originally, Some departments are jealous and want to use the national prefix to forcibly incorporate 3321, but a higher-level leader directly said that no department is allowed to have ideas for 3321 and let it develop on its own. You see how popular it is."
Su Yuehua asked curiously: "A higher-level leader? How high?"
Wang Shaohua smiled and said: "I don't know the specifics, but it sounds like it's quite high. It must be higher than the ministries and commissions."
Su Yuehua understood immediately and sighed: "I hope he can control the direction well. The stage of 3321 is so big. If there are no problems, there will be a lot of benefits. But if he can't control it, I'm afraid all the previous efforts will be wasted."
Wang Shaohua said: "You are referring to the money issue, right?"
"Yes." Su Yuehua said: "The 3321 project is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. Now that it has been launched nationwide, the income of the entire platform is getting higher and higher. So much money is at his disposal. He is twenty years old. Can a young man like this be able to control himself? Although he won't break the law even if he touches the 3321 money, the reputation he built up with great effort is gone."
Wang Shaohua nodded, and then said: "Actually, I think this worry is a bit unnecessary. If he wanted to make this money, he would not have announced the unprofitable decision when 3321 was founded. All the money he made would be his, but he He can come up with such a project by directly announcing that he won’t make a penny, so he should have thought clearly about this kind of thing.”
"I hope that's what you said."
…
Li Mu didn't know that Wang Shaohua was driving behind him for two or three kilometers. He was driving and asked Wang Xinran what he wanted to eat.
Wang Xinran sat in the car and looked left and right, but when it came time for her to decide what to eat, her eyes darkened and she didn't know what to ask.
Su Yingxue had been muttering in her heart since she got into the car. She didn't know anything about Li Mu's change of car. Suddenly she saw him driving such a car, and she was very surprised. But since her sister was here, she couldn't ask questions, so she just Can suppress doubts in the bottom of my heart.
Seeing that neither of them had any opinions, and considering that Wang Xinran might not be in a good mood, Li Mu thought that treating her to a big meal could make up for it.
After much deliberation, Li Mu found that the only high-end restaurant in Li Mu's mind was Fayue Restaurant. He had never been to any other restaurants, so he took out his cell phone and called Li Tong, Fayue's boss.
Li Mu had not contacted Li Tong since the last time Xu Jiaming introduced himself to him and he invited Su Yingxue's aunt and uncle to have a meal in Fayue. When he called him, the other party's voice was also full of surprise: " Oh, Li Mu, I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I haven’t seen you come to my place again.”
Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, I have been quite busy recently."
Li Tong said: "I know you are busy. You are making so much noise about Makino Technology now. Even people outside the circle like me hear it mentioned every day."
Li Mu said, "Just busy for a while." After that, Li Mu said, "Do you still have a seat in your restaurant? I want to take my friends over for dinner later."
Li Tong immediately said: "Yes, no matter how good Fayue's business is, I have a private area specially reserved for friends. You can just come over directly. I will say hello to the manager. When you arrive, just tell the welcome guest your name."
"Okay, thanks, I'll be right over."
Li Tong smiled and said: "You come to cheer me up, I'm just fine with thanking you, why are you so polite? Come on."
Li Mu hung up the phone, and Wang Xinran couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, where are you taking us to eat?"
Li Mu said: "Fayue Restaurant."
"Fa Yue?" Wang Xinran's eyes widened and he said, "Is it the same Fa Yue restaurant you invited my parents to last time?"
Li Mu nodded: "That's the one."
Wang Xinran said hurriedly: "Oh, I heard that eating there is extremely expensive, so let's not go there."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is rich, so you don't have to worry about whether it's expensive or not. You just need to eat."
Wang Xinran couldn't help but laugh out loud and gave Li Mu a thumbs up: "Brother-in-law, you are great."
Li Mu didn't talk to Wang Xinran about the film school all the way. He occasionally joked with her. It could be seen that her mood was much better than when she first got in the car, and her brows relaxed. Su Yingxue on the side was also worried. few.
Parking the car at the entrance of Fayue, Li Mu took the two girls to the main entrance of Fayue restaurant. The beautiful European white woman who greeted the guests at the door immediately came up and asked: "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I called your boss."
The white beauty suddenly understood and asked enthusiastically: "Are you Mr. Li Muli?"
"it's me."
The white beauty immediately bent down and bowed slightly, then made a gesture of invitation and said, "Your seat has been reserved on the second floor. Our boss said that you should order your food when you arrive, and he will come over later."
Su Yingxue had experienced such a thing once, so she was not surprised by this situation. Wang Xinran was shocked and speechless. She had heard others mention it before. Fayue Restaurant is the most high-end Western restaurant in Yanjing, with a per capita consumption of The starting price is several thousand, and most people who have money can't afford it if they go directly. Because the restaurant adopts a reservation system and does not accept walk-in customers, she was already surprised that Li Mu wanted to invite her to eat here, but she didn't expect that she would The "brother-in-law" is actually so respectable here. When he comes to have a meal, the boss will rush over.
There is a seat by the window on the second and third floors of Fayue Restaurant with the best location and view. Even the regulars cannot reserve these two seats because they are reserved by Li Tong and can only be taken by his friends who ask him. He asked these two seats not to entertain guests casually at any time. Even if there were many people and no friends came, Li Tong would leave these two seats idle.
This time, Li Tong arranged for Li Mu to sit at the window seat on the second floor, which was the same table he sat at when he invited Aunt Su Yingxue and Auntie Su Yingxue last time.
After sitting down, the waiter brought the menu. Li Mu asked Wang Xinran to order first, but after flipping through the menu, she didn't dare to say anything because the prices on it were so expensive. She felt that no matter what she ordered, she would be disappointed. Feeling guilty, he said to Li Mu: "Brother-in-law, you should order it. I will eat whatever you order."
Li Mu had no choice but to look at Su Yingxue and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Su Yingxue nodded slightly and ordered some relatively moderately priced meals.
Wang Xinran hadn't eaten or drank all day, so it was impossible to say she wasn't hungry. Now she felt a little more relaxed and had an appetite. In addition, Fa Yue's Western food was really impeccable, so she ate quite vigorously. There is a sense of turning grief and anger into food.
Halfway through the meal, Wang Xinran couldn't help but ask Li Mu: "Brother-in-law, will you make movies in the future?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make another movie, I won't be a director."
"Ah?" Wang Xinran was quite happy after listening to the first half, but inevitably disappointed after listening to the second half, and asked: "Why don't you become a director? You are so talented..."
Li Mu said: "I'm not a professional. I can barely make a short film, but I show my timidity when making a big movie. So I don't plan to be a director in the future, but a producer."
After hearing this, Wang Xinran regained hope: "Producers have more power! If you are a producer, can you arrange a role for me in a new movie? I am not going to take the film school entrance examination in the future. I want to do the rest. I have been reviewing hard for two months and trying to get into the National People's Congress. However, I have been studying acting for so long and have not officially performed yet. I don't want to give up quietly..."
Li Mu asked her: "Why don't you want to go to film school?"
A hint of loneliness flashed across Wang Xinran's expression: "Film schools are all shady, which is quite sad."
Li Mu nodded. It would be strange for a large reserve force in the entertainment industry like the Film Academy to not have a shady background. Wang Xinran was a victim of the shady story. Li Mu understood her mood. She got up early every day and studied blood professional courses until late in the day. As a result, she passed the exam and was admitted again. No one can accept the squeeze out of related households.
Immediately, Li Mu said: "A campus youth movie should be launched this year, similar to the tone of "Oldboy". If the project is launched, I will definitely give you a significant role."
The last time Li Mu and Ning Hao discussed the script of "Thieves Among Thieves" (Crazy Stone), they had the idea of filming the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". The heroine was to be played by Du Wei , to provide a pillar for Makino's image, but it seems there is no problem for Wang Xinran to play the second female lead.
When Wang Xinran heard Li Mu's clear answer, he immediately became excited and asked, "Is it true?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Of course it's true, and this time it's not a micro-movie, this time it's a big movie."
"Great!" Wang Xinran said excitedly: "As long as you give me a role with a few lines, I'll be satisfied if I can play a role with a few lines in a movie."
Li Mu said: "This movie is expected to be released in the second half of the year, just after the college entrance examination. You should prepare well for the college entrance examination during this time. You may be able to start filming as soon as the college entrance examination is over, but you must work hard these two months." , if I don’t get into a good university and have to go back to repeat my studies, I’m afraid I’ll miss out on this movie.”
Wang Xinran nodded hurriedly and said, "I will definitely work hard!"
Su Yingxue smiled happily and said: "It's good to work hard. Don't just talk and eat something."
At this time, a group of four people came up from the stairs and sat at a table next to Su Yingxue and Wang Xinran. Among the four people, there were three middle-aged people and a girl. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. These people sat After getting off, a middle-aged woman greeted the waiter, and at the same time said to the two middle-aged people in front of her, a man and a woman, attentively: "Director Xu, Director Shan, you two order first, this restaurant is the best in Yanjing. Western restaurant, especially their sirloin steak, which uses high-quality Japanese Wagyu beef and tastes great.”
After the man and woman in front of them saw the price of Wagyu Sirloin Steak on the menu, they were secretly surprised. The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Ms. Zhang, you are so polite. How can we have such a good meal among friends?" The restaurant came, which made us feel very uncomfortable..."
The woman next to him also nodded in agreement: "Director Xu is right, we are all a little uneasy about coming to such a good restaurant to eat..."
The coquettishly dressed middle-aged woman sitting opposite them smiled and said: "Look what you two said, it's just for a meal. What does it mean? My husband is a senior member here, just like the one he owns at home, you two You have helped us so much and put our Yueyue on the big list. Our old man Chen said he wanted to thank you both personally. It’s just that he is currently in Japan talking about a project and can’t get away to come back, so he told me I must entertain you two well, and when he comes back from Japan, I will treat you two alone."
The middle-aged man stroked the Mediterranean hairstyle on his head and said with a smile: "It's all a trivial matter. There's no need to be so polite. Mr. Chen is the same. Why are you so outspoken?"
The dazzling woman smiled and said: "The child is the biggest thing, so this matter is nothing in the eyes of you two, but to our family, there is nothing more important than this."
As she said that, the woman touched the back of the little girl next to her and said to the two of them: "You two, when the child enters school next year, he will need more care from you at school. Our old man Chen said that when the child When he turns twenty, he will invest money in making movies to support his children's debut. When the time comes, I will have to ask you two to help with some resources in this area."
Originally, Li Mu had no intention of listening to the other party's chat, but when he heard the other party talk about investing money to make movies, he couldn't help but take a second look. Hearing this sentence, the man with Mediterranean hair made his eyes shine with excitement. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, we will do our best when the time comes."
Wang Xinran also heard the conversation at the other table. After turning his head and taking a look, his expression immediately became astonished.
Li Mu asked her: "Xinran, do you know them?"
Wang Xinran turned around, her expression suddenly became quite downcast, she nodded slightly, and said softly: "The girl's name is Chen Yueyue, she is my classmate in the acting training class of the film school, the woman next to her is her mother, and the one sitting opposite The man is the director of the admissions office of the film school, and the woman is the head of the acting department.”
Hearing what Wang Xinran said, combined with the conversation he overheard between them just now, Li Mu instantly understood that the unattractive girl named Chen Yueyue was one of the connections who had squeezed out Wang Xinran.
Fourth update, about 15,000 words, right? What's wrong with me... I don't know what to say. I see so many Beipiao coders in the comment area, so this chapter will be about Jingxi Erqi subway station...
