"She should still be checking accounts at the hotel."
"Take me there."
Lu Beifeng packed several cups of hot milk tea with the clerk and asked Qian Li with a smile: "Director Qian, do you want to drink milk tea?"
"Thank you, Director Lu." Qian Li smiled and did not refuse.
The two of them walked to a three-star hotel not far away, and Lu Beifeng's Mulsanne was parked at the door.
Zhang Wei was sitting in the hotel lobby, bored and playing with his mobile phone. However, he was always vigilant and would subconsciously take a look at anyone entering or leaving the hotel.
When he saw Lu Beifeng coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Director Lu."
Lu Beifeng nodded in response and asked, "Did anything happen during this time?"
Zhang Wei shook his head: "Although there is a high turnover of people in Xiangnan, local officials attach great importance to it, and all aspects of public security are managed quite well."
Lu Beifeng said yes and didn't ask any more questions. If Zhang Wei said it's okay, then it's really okay. He is very upright and usually talks about what he has to say and doesn't like to play tricks on others.
Qian Li led the way and swiped her card and took Lu Beifeng into the hotel elevator. She said: "Yixue and Xiaomo live in the same room. Xiaomo is usually filming at this time."
When she walked to the door at the end of the corridor, Qian Li knocked gently.
Zhao Yixue's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Sister Li."
Click, click, click, the sound of slippers getting closer.
Zhao Yixue opened the door, wearing a very homely cartoon pajamas. When she saw Lu Beifeng standing at the door, she said with joy on her face: "Brother, why are you here?"
Lu Beifeng picked up the milk tea bag and said with a smile: "I went to Sioux City to do some errands and passed by, so I bought something to express my condolences to my good employees."
"Brother, you are teasing me again."
Zhao Yixue's personality has really become much more cheerful. Before, she would most likely have lowered her head and smiled shyly.
Lu Beifeng suddenly felt that two hundred million was worth it.
Qian Li was very sensible and did not disturb the gathering of the brothers and sisters. She said, "Director Lu, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. The crew has some things to do."
"Go ahead."
Lu Beifeng nodded in agreement, Zhao Yixue waved to her and said, "Sister Li, walk slowly."
Zhao Yixue held Lu Beifeng's hand and was about to walk into the house. Lu Beifeng didn't move and asked, "Do you want to tidy up?"
He knew that he could not enter a girl's boudoir at will. They were brothers and sisters. After all, there were differences between men and women.
Zhao Yixue blushed again and said, "No need."
Lu Beifeng put on disposable slippers and looked at the layout of the room. The two-bedroom suite was about sixty square meters, with a kitchen, bathroom and balcony. It was very simple in layout.
There was a carpet covered in an open space, and a small desk for student dormitories was placed on it. Various contract documents were stacked high. In the middle was the laptop that Lu Beifeng gave her last time. The screen was still on, like
Looking up information.
It's very similar to the state of senior high school students preparing for the college entrance examination.
Lu Beifeng sat on the only chair in the room, while Zhao Yixue sat on the carpet and looked up at him.
After getting together again after a while, the estrangement and alienation that we had when we first met have disappeared, and we have become much closer.
Lu Beifeng untied the milk tea bag, inserted the straw into it, handed it to Zhao Yixue, and said with concern: "Drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it gets cold."
"Thanks."
Zhao Yixue sipped the milk tea in small sips.
Lu Beifeng casually picked up the document "Props Rental Contract" placed on the top of the table. The A4 paper was a little wrinkled, and it must have been read many times.
He asked casually: "How have you been at work recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"It's good. My uncles are very kind."
Zhao Yixue was obviously not good at lying. She frowned, biting the straw and blowing bubbles.
Lu Beifeng was speechless and wanted to laugh. He glanced at her and Zhao Yixue quickly put down the milk tea. He had to look away to avoid Zhao Yixue being too embarrassed.
Zhao Yixue was very distressed recently. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother, can I ask you something?"
"Well, you ask." Lu Beifeng smiled.
Zhao Yixue's words were strict: "I said what if, what if, if someone made a mistake, and I have told him clearly, but he still refuses to change his mind despite repeated admonitions, what should I do?"
Lu Beifeng said without hesitation: "If you do something wrong, you must accept punishment. The punishment cannot be painless or itchy. It must be profound so that the next time he wants to make a mistake, he will think of the pain of punishment."
Zhao Yixue was smart and immediately thought that Lu Beifeng came here with Qian Li, and she should have heard Qian Li talk about it. She looked downcast: "Brother, am I useless?"
"how could be?"
Lu Beifeng touched her head and comforted her, saying, "You are doing the right thing. It is normal to have concerns. Wang Meng is the director's brother-in-law. The biggest fear of a crew is that the director and the producer are at odds, which will affect the stability of the entire crew."
Zhao Yixue asked: "Then what should I do best?"
"Actually, you can tell Guo Fan directly."
"Will Director Guo protect him?" Zhao Yixue was worried.
Lu Beifeng shook his head and chuckled, very confident: "Others may be able to do it, but Guo Fan doesn't know how to do it, and he doesn't dare to."
Guo Fan prepared for this movie for six years, three years in advance, three years in preparation, and finally waited until it was officially launched.
At this time, if anyone causes trouble, let alone the wife's brother, the biological father will not have to discuss it.
And if he really dares to protect his wife's brother, Lu Beifeng holds 52% of the shares in this project. At worst, another director will directly throw him into the abyss.
Lu Beifeng continued: "In fact, you can be more decisive and bold in the future. As the producer's representative is the film investor, you really don't have to worry so much. Those so-called unspoken rules will not affect us."
This is what it means to defeat all laws with one force.
"Well, I listen to you."
Zhao Yixue nodded and remembered another thing, telling Lu Beifeng about Xie Xiaomo's father.
Lu Beifeng showed a smile: "I know about this. You can keep an eye on how much it is. When Xie Xiaomo finishes the project, give her a big red envelope and return the money."
"Any more questions?"
"there is none left."
Zhao Yixue shook her head and showed a long-lost smile.
Lu Beifeng stood up, glanced out the window and it was still early, and said with a smile: "This is my first time coming to the film and television city. Can my lovely sister take me around?"
Zhao Yixue blushed slightly and said, "I'm not very familiar with this area." Unless Xie Xiaomo took her out to play, she usually stayed in the hotel and looked up information.
Lu Beifeng looked like he had known about it for a long time and said casually: "It's okay, let's just go for a walk. Don't stay bored in the hotel all the time."
"Yeah, let me change my clothes."
Zhao Yixue nodded and returned to the room to change clothes.
When the brother and sister arrived downstairs, Zhao Yixue warmly waved to greet Zhang Wei and said, "Uncle Zhang, let's go for a walk without driving."
"OK."
Zhang Wei showed a kind smile and was happier to see Zhao Yixue than to see Lu Beifeng. It is hard not to like a well-behaved and sensible girl.
But when the two of them walked out of the hotel door, Zhang Wei immediately stood up and followed them, keeping a distance of about five meters from them.
