Back To 2005

"Hello, Secretary Hu."

Seeing this man who had been on a blind date, Zhu Huihui acted very calmly, not even a smile, only the indifference of an ordinary person.

By the way, last time she asked the little man to play the role of her boyfriend to make him give up.

This time, I still ate with the little man and met him. I don’t know if it was a coincidence arranged by God.

"You guys are here to eat too. Just in time, I asked Boss Yuan to give you a discount."

Looking at the man next to him with whom he had met once, Hu Xiongying had a hint of jealousy in his eyes, but his face was full of polite smiles.

For some reason, Zhou Anan could feel from the other person's demeanor that the other person had a different kind of arrogance from the last time they met, and his back was much straighter.

"Since I know Director Hu, I must give a discount."

The shop owner on the side nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Thank you then, Secretary Hu. You can do your own business first."

Since the other party said so, Zhu Huihui, who thought she could save money, didn't mind.

As for owing favors for such a trivial matter, that's not a big deal.

"Okay, see you later."

Remembering that his boss was still waiting for him to make arrangements, Hu Xiongying didn't say much. After ordering, he turned around and walked into the box elegantly.

"This, this"

Under the watchful eye of the attentive boss, Zhou Anan and the others ordered two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup, and walked to a fairly elegant private room.

Outside the window is a relatively clear pond. All the fish in the hotel are kept in the pond, and the guests can fish and kill them immediately when they come.

The flowing water is gurgling and cool, and there are boats for tourists to play in the middle. The boss said that the water is diverted from the reservoir two hundred meters upstream.

There is no air conditioning in the private room, but there is not much heat either. When a small hanging fan blows, there are bursts of cool breeze.

"The environment here is quite good, and the fish heads taste good. The last activity our bureau organized was to go fishing in the reservoir above, so I came here to take advantage of it."

After sitting down, Zhu Huihui talked about her experience of being here.

"Oh, I heard a recommendation from a friend. If I had known earlier, I would have ordered this dish for you, Sister Huihui."

Zhou Anan came here for the first time, and it was also the place he heard Young Master Li talk about.

The chef here seems to be a disciple of a chef from the Magic City, and he is very good at cooking.

"It's okay. I forgot which dishes are more delicious. Anyway, you can try them all."

As the two of them were talking, the dishes were served quickly, with good color and fragrance.

In the middle of the trip, Zhou Anan went to the bathroom. When he came back and was about to enter the box, he happened to see someone coming from the next box.

"Zhou An'an."

Seeing the somewhat familiar young man, Huang Ping frowned subconsciously.

She was brought on a blind date by her father today, but she didn't want her brother Li's friend to know about it.

Once it reaches Brother Li's ears, it won't be beautiful.

"Hello, Miss Huang."

Zhou Anan nodded and prepared to enter the box without saying much.

"Who are you eating with? Have you met Brother Li in the past two days?"

Huang Ping, who felt somewhat guilty for no apparent reason, asked cleverly to rule out the possibility that it might be Brother Li.

"Oh, I just have a friend for dinner today. I haven't seen Brother Li for several days. What's wrong?"

He didn't want to introduce the girl from Lucheng No. 1 to the young lady. Although Zhou Anan didn't have much contact with her, she could feel the arrogance in her heart.

Even in the dinner party organized by Young Master Li, the other party only had Young Master Li in his eyes and didn't care about anyone else at all.

This kind of person is a typical egoist in society and should never be closely friends with.

What's more, Zhou Anan didn't want to make friends when he asked for the other party.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking casually. Then you go ahead and I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free."

Huang Ping, who was relieved that Brother Li was not here, didn't want to say more, waved her hand and walked towards the bathroom.

"Who were you talking to just now?"

Hearing the little man's voice, Zhu Huihui asked curiously after the other party came in.

"It's nothing, I just met someone I don't know very well."

Not wanting to mention Miss Huang, Zhou Anan said it away and continued to eat with the young lady.

When it was almost seven o'clock, the two of them, Zhou Anan, who had eaten enough, walked to the lobby to check out, and happened to meet Huang Ping and his party.

Among them, Secretary Hu, whom I met before, was following the middle-aged man next to Huang Ping with a smile.

No wonder the other party's demeanor and movements had changed a lot. It turned out that he had caught up with Lucheng No. 1, and he was probably promoted.

"Boss, how much is it?"

After answering a little doubt before, Zhou Anan went to the front desk to pay, but had no idea of ​​going up to say hello.

Taking into account the thoughts of the little man next to her, Zhu Huihui naturally did not go up to say hello. Anyway, looking at the other person's appearance, she had no time to pay attention to her.

The somewhat familiar man seemed to be Lucheng No. 1 who often appeared in the news.

"The total is 186 yuan, you can give me 150 yuan."

After receiving the boss's instructions, the cashier lady said with a smile.

"Um."

After paying the money, Zhou Anan took the young lady out.

Huang Ping, who was following her father, naturally heard Zhou Anan's voice, and while her heart tightened, she saw the young girl next to him with a playful smile in her eyes.

She had met Zhou Anan's girlfriend, and it was obviously not the one in front of her.

It seems that Zhou Anan, who has a little money, is not a serious character, so there is no need to worry about the other party talking to Brother Li.

Besides, she just went out to have a meal with her father, and he had nothing to say.

"An'an, that one just now seems to be our number one in Lucheng."

After getting in the car, Zhu Huihui smiled and talked about the people she saw before.

"Really, I didn't pay much attention."

For Zhou Anan, there are people here in Haizhou, so there is no need to curry favor with Lucheng No. 1.

"Oh, how about we go watch a movie later? I heard there is a movie called "The Sorrow of Charlotte". My colleagues saw it and said it was very good, but I never had time to watch it."

Regarding the next arrangement, Zhu Huihui expressed her thoughts and looked at the other party with a slightly longing look in her eyes.

The reason why she didn't go to see the movie was because she wanted to wait for the other person to come with her. Unfortunately, the other person didn't return to Lucheng this month, which made her feel a little disappointed.

"I've heard of that movie too. It was released last month. I don't know if it's available. Let's go to the cinema to see it first."

After listening to the young lady's suggestion, Zhou Anan did not reject it immediately.

Under normal circumstances, it has been taken off the shelves in regular cinemas.

He knew that "Charlotte's Sorrow", which had been released for a month and a half, had a final box office of 356 million, and "Transformers 1", which had a total box office of 275 million, set the tone for the annual box office championship.

Blue Whale Entertainment received a share of more than 100 million from the box office settled in advance, and the remaining 30 million will not be available until the end of September.

In addition, the exclusive online copyright of "Charlotte's Troubles" was sold to TX Video, which has cooperated with it, at a price of 10 million, and it is scheduled to be broadcast at the end of September.

This broadcast time must take into account several Southeast Asian countries that purchased the copyright to show the film until the end of September. Blue Whale Entertainment also received more than 30 million in copyright fees.

Under the threat of Blue Whale Entertainment's symbolic lawyer's letter, the remaining large video websites did not piracy, and only some small video websites had piracy, which was harmless.

More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the curb in front of the cinema.

The old cinema in Lucheng is still so old and the business is still so bad.

Zhou Anan asked the young lady to buy popcorn, but she came to the ticket office: "Boss, do you still have tickets for "Charlotte's Sorrow"?"

"We don't have it today, but there will be one tomorrow at six o'clock. Do you want it?"

Looking up, the middle-aged male boss asked casually.

"How much does it cost to open a small venue by itself?"

Zhou Anan asked with a smile without condemning the other party for ignoring the copyright contract and playing the movie privately.
