Chapter 275 273. Talking Xiao Ming and dumb Lao Jia

In the warm bedroom, Chen Li'an rubbed Mr. Zhou's red ankles and looked at the marks on her waist, feeling a little regretful that it took too long just now.

Mr. Zhou lay there staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly. After a while, he came back to his senses, touched the corners of his wet mouth, turned his head to look at Chen Li'an, and couldn't help but take his feet out of his hands and kick them. Hit him.

The soft kick had no power at all. It was more of a kick than a tease. The hook when the toes were retracted was very technical. Anyway, Chen Li'an felt that he was "skilled".

Mr. Zhou also felt it. He stood up and took a look. He groaned and put his foot on Chen Li'an's lap. He stepped on it with his little foot and said, "I'll pinch you again. I'll punish you later."

Chen Li'an: "." Does she have any misunderstanding about punishment? But how can you pinch me when you step on me like this!

I don’t know how much time passed, Mr. Zhou said to Chen Li’an while wiping the delicate and rosy insteps: “What are your plans later?”

"Not yet. I'm going to Xiangjiang in a few days to deal with the finishing work of the art space." Chen Li'an moved to Mr. Zhou's side and motioned for her to wipe him too.

Mr. Zhou first slapped him in the face, then picked up the towel and wiped it while asking: "Are you coming back on New Year's Day?"

Chen Li'an suddenly thought of Meiren Chen, paused and said, "Not necessarily, by the way, did you see the house I showed you last time?"

"I saw it, but now I want to change to a bigger one." Mr. Zhou threw the towel aside and leaned on Chen Li'an and said, "And I also want to buy the original house."

Chen Li'an looked at Young Master Zhou biting his lip and smiling, pinched her face and said, "No problem, just tell me if you're careful."

"I like this feeling so much." Mr. Zhou bit Chen Li'an's chin, looked at it and said, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Because I am a scumbag. Chen Li'an felt a little sad and despised himself in his heart. Mr. Zhou was the first woman he almost fell in love with. If he had invested more in her, maybe he would not be a scumbag.

After the two of them chatted for a while, Chen Li'an remembered what he had not finished saying before and said to Mr. Zhou: "The movie I just told you is really good. You can go see it tomorrow and have a chat with Lao Jia."

"Old Jia? Is that your senior?" Mr. Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Then when will he turn on the phone? I have just finished filming and want to rest for a few more days."

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "It will probably be in the spring next year."

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go take a look tomorrow."

"Well, help me take the money to him by the way." Chen Li'an said to Mr. Zhou with a smile: "Just in time to experience the joy of investing."

"What's so good about investors?" Mr. Zhou turned over and looked at the ceiling and said briskly: "I just like the feeling of acting. Every time I act, I feel that I have forgotten everything. I am very comfortable and happy."

Chen Li'an understood the feeling Mr. Zhou was talking about. He felt the same way when he was painting. It might seem boring to others, but for him the process was very enjoyable.

Mr. Zhou and Chen Li'an are actually very similar, which may be why Chen Li'an almost fell in love with her in the first place.

He may have fallen in love with her now, but this cannot hide the fact that Chen Li'an is a scumbag. He thought that he would stop after falling in love with someone, but he forgot one sentence, how can a cat not steal something?

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou went to the bank together. First, they reopened the account and transferred the 200,000 that Jia Zhangke needed, and second, they gave Mr. Zhou some pocket money.

More than half an hour later, the two came out of the bank. Mr. Zhou couldn't help but turned to look at Chen Li'an while looking at the bankbook in his hand and said, "I suddenly have so much money, I don't even know how to spend it."

After hearing this, Chen Li'an paused and said, "Actually, I'm not very good at spending money either."

"Well, I don't know who spent more than 200 million in one go." Mr. Zhou put his bankbook in his pocket, hugged Chen Li'an's arm and said with a smile, "There is no one in China who spends more money than you."

Chen Li'an said speechlessly: "That is the development of the company, which is different from normal consumption. I have bought myself a house and a car now."

Speaking of cars, Mr. Zhou said angrily: "Why do you buy a car? You don't want to learn it yourself, and you don't want to find a driver."

Chen Li'an got angry when he mentioned this. Li Dabai's efficiency was too low. It had been so long since he could not find an assistant!

Li Dabai, who was busy in the company, was also very helpless. Chen Meiren was at home with her childbirth, so she could only keep an eye on the company. She also served as Chen Li'an's assistant to help him deal with reporters and people seeking investment. Fang talks about cooperation, but there is no time to find an assistant for Chen Li'an.

Being able to get off work on time is now a luxury.

When Li Dabai had some free time at noon, he flipped through the pile of job application forms in front of him, looked at the ID photos on them, and threw them all aside with disgust.

As Chen Li'an's assistant, it's not enough if his looks are not good enough. It would be too shameful to take him out.

Li Dabai thought of the previous secretaries of Party A's boss, and thought that Chen Li'an's assistants must not be worse than those nouveau riche, otherwise they would be too shameless.

However, Li Dabai really didn't see any suitable photos of these job seekers, and he didn't know if it was because he had been with Chen Li'an for a long time and saw too many beauties, so his requirements had become higher.

While flipping through the pages, Li Dabai thought of Gao Yuanyuan, and he hummed in his heart, thinking that he must find an obedient assistant to help her keep an eye on Gao Yuanyuan in the future!

On the Nortel campus, Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou came together. They originally wanted to let Mr. Zhou come by himself, but they were worried that Lao Jia would not be able to speak well.

It's been a long time since I've been to school. Chen Li'an feels that nothing has changed here. Except that many of the trees in the school are bald, it's no different from the last time he came here.

Chen Li'an easily attracts people's attention when he walks on campus. The newspapers these days are full of news about Chen Li'an. Even the freshmen know this senior who has never appeared in school.

But few people dared to come up and talk to him. As soon as they saw Chen Li'an, a sentence popped into their heads.

"Two hundred and eighty million is not expensive."

Out of awe of money, these ignorant students naturally had some awe of Chen Li'an.

But he is not without courage. After Huang Xiaoming saw Chen Li'an sitting on the edge of the basketball court, he was eager to come and get to know him, but he didn't know how to strike up a conversation.

"Xiao Ming! Come and replace me!" On the court, Chen Kun watched Huang Xiaoming sitting there for a long time and wanted him to come up and play for a while.

People on Chen Kun's team immediately shouted, "Stop, Xiao Ming can't even get a rebound!"

Huang Xiaoming glanced at them with black lines on his head, and then said to Chen Kun: "You can play, I have to leave first."

When Chen Kun called him just now, he suddenly thought of Li Xiaoran. Maybe this was an opportunity to talk to Chen Li'an.

Huang Xiaoming saw Chen Li'an who was about to walk away and immediately chased after him. When he ran next to him, he deliberately let out a sigh, then stopped and shouted: "Senior?"

Chen Li'an glanced at him and deliberately pretended not to recognize him and asked: "Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, senior, I am Li Xiaoran's friend. Last time she came to school with you, she saw you from a distance." Huang Xiaoming smiled sheepishly when he said this and said: "At that time, Xiaoran also said that there was a chance to introduce I'm here to introduce you to him, I really like your acting."

Li Xiaoran? When Chen Li'an heard the name, he was stunned for a moment before he realized that Huang Xiaoming was talking about Li Dabai.

I was called so many nicknames that I almost forgot Dabai's name.

"Oh, Dabai's friend, are you Chen Kun? You are as handsome as Dabai said." Chen Li'an said in a malicious tone.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Huang Xiaoming's face, he scratched his head and said, "I'm not Chen Kun, my name is Huang Xiaoming, I'm in the freshman performance class."

Chen Li'an couldn't help but smile, looked at Huang Xiaoming and said, "Sorry, I made a mistake."

Mr. Zhou has been standing nearby. She could see that Chen Li'an's eyes were narrowed just now. Although she didn't know what kind of prank Chen Li'an was playing, she couldn't help but shook her head. He was so old, but sometimes he was still like a child.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. I guess Jia Zhangke is getting impatient." Mr. Zhou said, pulling Chen Li'an's hand.

Chen Li'an then smiled and said to Huang Xiaoming: "Xiao Ming, I still have something to do. Let's talk next time. This time I know who you are."

"Oh, okay, senior, you are busy." Huang Xiaoming nodded hurriedly.

Chen Li'an smiled at him before leaving with Mr. Zhou. Huang Xiaoming stood there and vaguely heard Mr. Zhou complaining about Chen Li'an's bad taste like a child.

Huang Xiaoming scratched his hair and didn't know what she meant.

"What are you doing here?!" Yanzi suddenly patted Huang Xiaoming from behind, then said with a smile: "They won't take you to play ball?"

Huang Xiaoming: "." If we don't talk about this, you are still my goddess!

However, Yanzi had already followed Huang Xiaoming's gaze and recognized the tall figure from behind as Chen Li'an at a glance!

Don't ask how they met, Yanzi wouldn't say that his dormitory is full of Chen Li'an's newspapers, magazines and posters!

But there seems to be nothing that can't be said. Every dormitory in the girls' dormitory is the same. As long as there are reports about Chen Li'an, the newspapers and magazines about Chen Li'an at the school gate will be sold out the next day.

This is the power of the Nortel male god!

What kind of Hong Kong and Taiwan male stars are you chasing after? It’s not as convenient as chasing your own seniors. Hong Kong and Taiwan male stars are not as good as our own seniors!

After a while, Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou met Jia Zhangke in a classroom. It seemed to be a classroom in the literature department, with books piled inside.

Seeing Chen Li'an's appearance, Jia Zhangke and others stood up immediately. They didn't know what to say when they opened their mouths. They were all a bit taciturn.

Gu Lin, the only outgoing person, took the initiative and said, "Hello, junior fellow student."

Gu Lin wanted to slap himself twice when he heard his junior shouting like a senior.

Seeing that they were a little embarrassed, Chen Li'an took the initiative to say hello with a smile: "Seniors, you must have been waiting for a long time. I'm sorry for being late."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he looked at Jia Zhangke and said, "Senior, long time no see. Let me introduce to you. This is my friend Mr. Zhou, a very good actor."

Jia Zhangke nodded with a smile, glanced at Mr. Zhou next to him, and vaguely guessed why Chen Li'an brought him here.

Wang Hongwei and Gu Lin also looked at each other and guessed Chen Li'an's plan at the same time. They sighed inwardly and knew that the 200,000 yuan was not so easy to get.

Chen Li'an didn't explain that much. Although Lao Jia likes to use non-professional actors, he doesn't insist on not using professional actors. What's more, in the movie Xiao Wu, the heroine is originally a professional actor, so why can't she be Mr. Zhou.

After all, it is a film that can win international awards. It is good for Mr. Zhou to brush up his resume in advance.

Chen Li'an looked at Jia Zhangke and said, "Senior, the investment was agreed upon yesterday. I have already brought 200,000 yuan, but I also want to recommend an actor to you."

Jia Zhangke glanced at Chen Li'an with some embarrassment and hesitated for a while before saying: "But I have already promised others. If you want to exchange investment for a role, then I don't want it."

Hearing Jia Zhangke's words, although Wang Hongwei and Gu Lin felt pity in their hearts, they did not stop them. They knew best what kind of person Jia Zhangke was and how much effort he put into this movie.

Chen Li'an was a little surprised, Lao Jia spoke too directly. Although I know that he is from Shanxi and is loyal, you should be more tactful when dealing with investors.

However, this role cannot be escaped. The current heroine dislikes Jia Zhangke, a member of the grass-roots team, and even made a fuss about abandoning the role before the film was started.

Chen Li'an didn't want to force Jia Zhangke with money. That would be useless. It would be better to wait for him to feel weak and then come back to him.

Mr. Zhou also felt a little embarrassed at this time. Why don't you try it on and pretend for a while before rejecting it?

Chen Li'an turned to look at Mr. Zhou and said, "Where is the bankbook? Give it to the senior. He has already found an actor, so we won't force it."

Mr. Zhou glanced at Jia Zhangke. Although he was unhappy, he still took out his bankbook and handed it to him. As an actor, she actually admired Jia Zhangke.

It's rare to find a director who can stick to his true intentions, and he's such a poor director. Everyone is looking for money these days.

Jia Zhangke looked at Chen Li'an in surprise and asked, "Are you still willing to invest?"

"Yes, why don't you want to? I said it was a recommendation." Chen Li'an said with a smile: "However, what the senior just said was too direct. Mr. Zhou is a very good actor, so it is your loss."

Jia Zhangke looked at the bankbook in Mr. Zhou's hand, and felt a flash of guilt in his heart. He seemed to have misunderstood Chen Li'an, and even refused in front of the girl.

Gu Lin came out to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Lao Jia speaks frankly, don't worry, he also values ​​friendship, otherwise we wouldn't make a movie with him."

Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, he just put the bankbook and contract in front of Jia Zhangke and said: "The password is 123456. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future."

Chen Li'an didn't say anything, and just kept looking at Jia Zhangke, with a smile on his face but eyes that seemed full of oppression and urging.

Jia Zhangke was silent for a moment, then looked at Young Master Zhou and said, "I'm sorry, I was too blunt just now. I promised someone else before. I don't dislike your acting skills. I have watched you play Red River Valley and your acting skills are very good."

After hearing what Jia Zhangke said, Chen Li'an saw a look of relief on Mr. Zhou's face and said to Jia Zhangke: "Senior, then this matter is settled. I wish you a smooth filming."

After Jia Zhangke read and signed the contract, Chen Li'an greeted them one by one and turned around to leave. However, when he walked to the door, he looked back at Jia Zhangke and said, "Senior, I suggest you ask the actor. See if she is willing to act. I respect your enthusiasm for movies, but others may not."

After speaking, Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou left without waiting for Jia Zhangke's reply.

After the three people in the classroom looked at each other, they were all a little confused and didn't understand what Chen Li'an's last sentence meant.

You want to say a threat, the money was given and the contract was signed, but what does the last sentence mean?

Mr. Zhou outside the classroom was also curious. He looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

"It's not interesting. It just means that this role is still yours. Just wait."
