I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 280 278. One is not enough

It was already midnight when Xu Xin came to the Magic City.

The original plan was to chat with Liu Momo about Nifeng Entertainment, and they would only stay for one day at most.

Then I returned to Yanjing around the third day of the Lunar New Year.

He stayed with Yang Mi for a few days in Yanjing. On the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month, he would go to Xi'an to start working on "The Wind".

Unexpectedly, he and Liu Momo chatted so smoothly.

It didn't take even one night after landing to get this thing done.

Don't you think this is due to bad luck?

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have come, how could I have said it on the phone?

Of course, he was just thinking about it. Saying this kind of thing on the phone and saying it in person are actually two different concepts.

Moreover, he did not expect that after this matter was resolved, he would still encounter matters related to the World Expo.

And listening to what Uncle Liu meant, it seemed that... his opinion was very pertinent.

In other words, regardless of what other people think, the opinions he said should be in line with the thoughts of the local second-in-command.

Just comply.

To be honest, he didn't have any special ideas about the World Expo.

The world does not revolve around you, so you have to get whatever benefits you want.

You have taken all the benefits yourself, what will others do?

This is why he told Liu Kuan not to mention his name.

Both of them knew that it was inappropriate for them to discuss the internal affairs of the Expo as "non-staff members".

Xu Xin now came out of Liu's house and returned to the hotel.

Without the pressure of living in a large compound, his thinking became clearer.

Sister Mo's father probably didn't like that plan.

At the right time, I came to see Sister Mo and wanted to ask myself.

And his answer was obviously in line with his expectations, so it was necessary to go to the meeting to discuss it.

But again, non-staff members discuss internal matters.

Ultimately, the hands are too long.

And the second half of Uncle Liu's last words about "actively participating"... probably didn't have much meaning. But those "uncertainties" in the first half are a subtle reminder.

Reminding him that he seems to be able to participate here.

only……

For a moment, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with thoughts.

Mainly because I can't figure out the situation.

After all, judging from the plan, including the contents, it has a clear international tendency.

And this tendency...

Although he is not prejudiced, he feels that the "foreign flavor" is quite good.

Moreover, apart from the fact that the "topic" did not appeal to Uncle Liu's heart, in terms of professionalism, the entire plan was not surprising, but at least it was quite satisfactory.

The main reason why he previously felt that this plan was "substandard" was his lack of understanding of the World Expo's performance format.

After all... the Olympic Games data files could fill four offices.

You can imagine how much work they have.

But the performance at the World Expo was only over half an hour.

There really isn't much fun to be had in more than half an hour.

It is understandable that the information is so thin.

Therefore, the problem actually comes from himself and has nothing to do with others.

After understanding the process of the World Expo and filling in the professional gaps, Xu Xin came back to review the plan from a professional perspective.

They are also professional.

It's just that his ideas conflict with his own, or Uncle Liu's.

But this conflict is definitely not just a personal conflict.

A plan must be approved by some people before others are opposed to it.

Everything has two sides.

As for the duality, at Uncle Liu's level, it is still unknown how many people are in favor and how many are against it.

So what he is weighing is a kind of risk and return.

Unfortunately, very little information was obtained.

No reference advice.

I wanted to find someone to inquire...but how could I inquire about something of this level?

Apart from anything else, outsiders cannot find out about the internal affairs of the Olympic Games.

The truth is actually the same for two hundred years.

After thinking about it, I realized that the only person I could ask was Director Zhang.

It's not Director Zhang, it's another Director Zhang.

But... time doesn't work.

It's the first day of the new year.

Just wait...

Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze from the night view of the Bund.

This city is a bit strange to him.

It is better not to move until you understand the situation.

…

Early the next morning, Liu Momo, who was a resident of the Magic City, arrived at the hotel again. He saw Xu Xin carrying a suitcase downstairs and said with a smile:

"Are you sure you don't want to stay one more day?"

"And then go abroad with you?"

Xu Xin asked with a smile, then shook his head:

"Forget it, everything is done, I will go back to accompany her as soon as possible."

"Tsk..."

There was a speechless look on Liu Momo's face.

Obviously, these words are really harmful to singles.

In the car, the two were still discussing the future shareholders.

She left in the third grade of junior high school, and it would probably be around fifteen when she came back.

Then let's all get together.

Get to know each other.

After clarifying some details, Xu Xin also arrived at the airport.

At the still sparsely populated Hongqiao Airport, I waved to Liu Momo, passed the security check, and embarked on my way back north.

Before boarding the plane, he was communicating with Xu Yang and the others.

Two hundred million is nothing to these people.

Who doesn’t have thousands of dollars in pocket money?

Ask your family for some, and you can make a living together.

It is said that the two hundred million yuan was not bought as shares, but invested in the company as working capital.

As far as money is concerned, there is no shortage of everyone when the coal market is booming in 2008.

For those who have just graduated or are about to graduate, finding a new direction is full of freshness.

And...a longing for this glamorous circle.

Xu Xin understood and tried his best to comfort him, and finally boarded the plane.

But he didn't tell Yang Mi, he just told Yang Dalin secretly.

He also specifically asked him not to tell Yang Mi.

The second day of junior high school itself is the time to go back to your parents' home, so there is no need to pick her up.

After getting off the plane, I took a taxi directly to my future father-in-law's house and ran there.

When he carried the box upstairs, he didn't knock on the door, but dialed Yang Dalin's phone specifically.

"Dudu, hello...are you here?"

"Yes, Uncle Yang...is she around?"

"No, I'm in my room. I'll open the door for you."

"okay."

Xu Xin responded, and then the security door opened.

Yang Dalin, who was wearing an apron, smiled when he saw his future son-in-law.

But he didn't say much, he just waved quickly.

After Xu Xin entered, Yang Dalin pointed at the room:

"I've been inside all morning, playing with something..."

"Okay, okay! Uncle, Happy New Year! Auntie, Happy New Year~"

It’s not time to call me daddy or mommy yet, so I’ll call you that first.

Then he was about to take out the specialties brought from northern Shaanxi, but Yang Dalin waved his hand and urged:

"Hurry up and scare her..."

"..."

Yang Chunling was speechless.

The combined ages of these two men are approximately one hundred if rounded off, even if they are younger, they are just like a child. How come you, as a father, are so virtuous?

Xu Xin, on the other hand, laughed and came to the door of Yang Mi's house barefoot without even wearing slippers.

But as soon as he put his hand on the door handle, suddenly, the door opened.

Yang Mi, who had rubber gloves on her hands, was about to go out.

As a result, I saw the sneaky Xu Xin...

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other.

All Xu Xin's teasing plans were in vain.

After Yang Mi blinked, she suddenly asked:

"Are you done?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only nod:

"Um."

"How did you get here? Take a taxi?"

"Um."

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

"..."

"Prank?...You didn't have the key to the house, and my dad opened the door for you?...You two made a plan to play a trick on me?"

"..."

"..."

After hearing this, Yang Dalin thought for a moment and pointed at Yang Chunling:

"Your mother also knows...I went cooking."

Yang Chunling rolled her eyes.

As for Xu Xin, seeing that the trick failed, he was also speechless. He looked at the rubber gloves on her hands and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing?"

"Just in time, come and help me. Dad, when will we eat?"

"Waiting for a while. The food will be out in twenty minutes."

Yang Mi nodded and pulled Xu Xin into the house.

Then Xu Xin finally understood what she was doing.

It turned out to be a diamond sticker for the mobile phone...

In the room at the moment, Yang Mi had spent her study time with her from childhood to adulthood. On the desk full of youthful memories were plastic diamonds of three different colors.

Red, yellow, green.

And there was her Nokia on the table.

The entire back of Nokia has been covered with diamonds of these three colors, with red, yellow and green occupying the upper, middle and lower parts.

That color... Xu Xin felt familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"What did you do this for? Why these three colors?"

"Reggae, baby~YA MAN~"

After twisting the diamond, she imitated the weird accent and held the phone to reveal the unfinished frame on the side:

"Quickly, drop the glue. Be careful, it's very sticky."

"Well……"

Xu Xin took a dropper and carefully dropped a drop of very viscous glue on the Nokia. After watching Yang Mi press the diamond onto it, she suddenly realized...

"Oh yes, yes, the flag of Jamaica?"

"That's right...wait a minute."

Yang Mi responded and opened the desk drawer.

There is a shoe box in the drawer, and the shoe box is full of tapes.

"This is……"

"Shishi and I went shopping in Panjiayuan, and we found something... which I found rare. In those days, imported CDs were more expensive than ordinary CDs. Now, a box of these old foreign tapes costs thirty-five yuan... You think it's outrageous No?"

Yang Mi complained and happily pulled out a box of tapes:

"But I also made money. Look at this~"

Xu Xin took it and took a look and found that it was a foreigner with dreadlocks and a cigar in his mouth.

It still looks familiar, but I don't know who it is.

"After I bought Bob Marley's classic hit album "LEGEND" after his death, I showed it to the wheel to see it. It was a real thing! A real thing from 1995! Haha, I missed it~ He didn't even ask for it. Give it to him~"

"Well……"

Xu Xin was also a little curious. He looked at the catalog on the tape box and asked:

"Can you hear it?"

"Definitely, it's well preserved."

Yang Mi pointed at a very dated backgammon repeater with public playback on the table...

"It's a pity that my Sony Walkman was bought after I saved up for a long time. It turns out that this repeater is older than it, and it's not broken. It broke first."

"Good guy, this thing really has a sense of the times."

Xu Xin looked at the familiar shape, opened the tape and put it in.

"Go back and listen to the first one, 'NO WOMAN NO CRY,' I love listening to that."

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought a little unfamiliarly before remembering how to operate.

moment……

Following the accompaniment, Yang Mi, who was waiting for the glue to solidify, crossed her legs, half-squinted her eyes, and hummed softly:

“say~say~say i rember~……”

"no ~woman no cry~~~"

Xu Xin picked up the dropper again, as if waiting for work at any time, humming along with the melody of this song that he had heard but could not sing the lyrics, and asked:

"So you started to like reggae?"

"Yes, most of the tapes in the box are reggae. I guess my ex is a reggae collector. I was talking to Shishi two days ago, and I asked if I wanted to get a dreadlocks look. Hey, you Do you think I’m suitable?…Dip glue…slow down, slow down…yes…”

"Well……"

He glanced at his fiancee's wavy head.

Apparently it was newly permed years ago.

After thinking for a while, he nodded:

"Don't mention it, it should be quite suitable, right? But doesn't that thing hurt your hair particularly?"

"I don't know... should I buy a wig to try first?"

"I'm getting a tattoo and dropping a cigar. I'm Bob Marley. What are you?"

"Emm... Dirty braids Yang Mi?"

"Ha~"

Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.

Because he thought of a better nickname:

"Pig·newbee."

But I dare not say it.

If you tell me, you'll probably get crushed.

And with his help, the job of attaching diamonds to mobile phones suddenly became smoother.

Soon, the entire Nokia phone was transformed into a reggae version of the tricolor Jamaican flag.

"Okay..."

Yang Mi rubbed the uneven texture on the phone and handed it to Xu Xin:

"Look, how does it look?"

Xu Xin took it and touched it, and said speechlessly:

"This thing doesn't hurt your face when you answer the phone?"

"Um...is there any?"

She pushed open the flap, put it against her ear and rubbed it.

Then... I don't know why, suddenly my eyes rolled...

"Hey, give me a call."

"what?"

"Just fight, you'll know later."

Xu Xin, who was confused, watched her fiddling with the buttons on her phone and dialed her number directly with his BlackBerry.

There was no ringtone, only a "buzzing" vibration.

Then……

The sister seemed to feel something, and suddenly handed the phone to him mysteriously:

"Hey, let's feel it."

"?"

I took the phone and held it in my hand... The uneven texture of rhinestones was accompanied by vibrations...

This feeling suddenly made Xu Xin's eyes look strange.

Then I heard my fiancée say:

"What you are thinking in your mind...is it the same as what I am thinking?"

"..."

Looking up at her, Xu Xin asked speechlessly and absurdly:

"what's on your mind?"

"What about you? What are you thinking about?"

Facing his fiancée's pointed question, Xu Xin scratched his head...

"How painful it is~"

Yang Mi agreed with her face:

"But it feels so exciting~"

"Hey~~~~~"

Xu Xin's eyes were filled with disgust.

Hang up the phone directly.

No, why is this sister getting more and more perverted?

I like it so much, what should I do?

From the speakers of the BBK repeater, the brisk melody of reggae music resounded.

…

After drinking two ounces of wine at noon, Xu Xin couldn't drive.

Yang Mi drove the car and pulled him, and they ran to Dahu Mansion together.

Speaking of which, Xu Xin has never been to the house since it was renovated, and he doesn't even know where the door opens.

So I went to see it today.

If nothing else, this should be their wedding room.

After all, the decoration style of Shijia Hutong is a bit old and not suitable.

"Do we need to buy a villa?"

Sitting in the co-pilot of 911, Xu Xin asked.

Yang Mi asked casually:

"Why buy it? It's so scary for two people to live in such a big house. My dad can't come here. He's used to living here. They are all old neighbors."

"...as an investment?"

"Brother, your family is engaged in real estate. Are you buying a villa for investment?"

"Our project is a people's livelihood project, and we basically don't touch high-end real estate."

"That's not necessary. Siheyuan is very good. Sometimes it feels noisy in the city. We will come over when the time comes. What's the use of so many houses? Don't forget about the houses we bought by then. , then you say you feel bad."

"Hmm... It seems to make sense. Then I'll ask the family next to our house if they want to sell their house in the next two days and buy it."

"Shijia Alley?"

"Yes, they don't live in it anyway. It's vacant all year round. I bought it and expanded it a little. It will be more convenient to live in. It will also be a good thing to be grounded when I have children in the future."

When she mentioned this, Yang Mi was suddenly startled:

"Oh, by the way, what's the date today?"

"Second grade."

"I know the second day of the lunar month, I said the solar calendar."

"January 27. What happened?"

"Well……"

Yang Mi frowned and moved her butt again.

Shaking his head slightly:

"It's okay. It's time for relatives to come over in the next two days."

"...You have to hurry up then."

"Come here, you haven't moved to a new house. What do you do first when you go in? It's unlucky. Just wait until you choose a good day to move in."

"You still believe this... Why haven't you been tricked enough? Do you want to find a boyfriend named Liu for you?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

"Hehe~"

Yang Mi laughed awkwardly.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I'll be back soon when I get into the house, okay? Go to the floor-to-ceiling window, okay?"

"..."

The nuns really don’t look like good men!

Xu Xinxin said.

In this way, the car drove all the way to the underground garage of Dahu Mansion.

In order to facilitate parking in the future, Xu Xin specially bought a 12-row parking space.

Logically speaking, this is not the case. The parking space matching ratio of Dahu Mansion is 1:3, which is actually very high.

But who made him have a relationship with the boss?

Wang Sicong waved his hand.

Buy six and get six free, which is considered as Damimi’s power leveling fee for us to level up DOTA.

All good locations.

Just pack it up and take it away.

So, after arriving at the underground garage, Yang Mi casually blocked the car in the parking space where a Ferrari, a Nissan 350Z, and a Santana were parked.

“Tingting’s car hasn’t been sold yet?”

After getting out of the car, Xu Xin looked at the dusty Santana and was speechless.

"It's a new year's sale. Wasn't it busy last year? Let's stop here for now... Hey, your Ferrari needs maintenance. It hasn't been driven for a long time. I'll have someone drive it away in a few days to clean it up."

"okay."

He basically didn't worry about these trivial things, Yang Mi took care of them.

Then, Xu Xin followed her into the basement foyer, and asked after entering the elevator:

"What floor is our home on?"

"31, 30. Just go to 30. I haven't opened the elevator installed at home."

Xu Xin pressed 30 and the elevator began to rise.

Soon, the floor arrived and Yang Mi took out the key.

After opening it, Xu Xin was about to go inside, but was pulled directly by Yang Mi:

"Why are you so anxious? We'll wait until the formaldehyde is released."

"...Didn't I buy mahogany?"

"Brother, the whole house you customized is not made of mahogany~"

Yang Mi was speechless.

After waiting for a while, the two of them entered the house.

The overall decoration style on the 30th floor is actually similar to what Xu Xin saw at Jay Chou's house.

He quite likes this style.

Or maybe it was ruined by my father’s “ancient” decoration style.

In short, Xu Xin obviously likes the modern decoration.

Although a house of more than 300 square meters sounds "not big", after Xu Xin went in and took a look, he found that he might have been hasty in asking for two floors.

Why the hell is there still sound when walking like this?

"I've basically opened up this floor. Since no one lives there anyway, the space for activities should be larger. Here, this is your separate study room, connected to the cigar room. From now on, we agree that if you want to smoke at home, you can only smoke in your room. This house is smoking, so I specially got a fresh air system for you. If you have children, you are not allowed to smoke in front of them, and you are not allowed to let your children smell second-hand smoke!"

"Well, okay."

Xu Xin agreed happily.

I probably scanned my study room and cigar bar, and then looked at the video room and the like.

It even includes the "e-sports room" where everyone plays black games.

After watching the 30th floor, I took a small home elevator and went up to the 31st floor.

What catches the eye are two pianos in black and white.

The black one is Liszt, and the white one is the Steinway Langlang series.

Head to head.

He walked over, pressed a few keys at random, and asked:

"You won't disturb the neighbors, right?"

"Oh yes, speaking of this, there is something particularly interesting that I need to tell you."

Yang Mi sat in front of the piano on the other side:

"When these two pianos came to be installed, I happened to meet a couple on the 28th floor. They had a super large root-carved tea table that couldn't be hoisted and had to be moved. Wasn't this a coincidence? She didn't recognize it. When I came out, I was wearing a mask. She asked me if I was a pianist and why I had two pianos. I didn’t think much about it, I just said it was because my friends liked it, so I got two pianos...

Then, the piano was delivered, and someone from Steinway came to tune it. When I went downstairs to pick him up, I happened to meet the couple again. When we went downstairs together, we met the master who was tuning the piano. The master was also stupid. , thinking that we were together, he said directly: Teacher Lang Lang asked me to adjust his piano..."

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless for a moment.

"Then what?"

"Then the couple thought that Lang Lang and I were a couple... Hahahahaha, they were so funny. They also asked me if Lang Lang lived here and if they could come and listen in the future... and then they said they would buy the 29th floor. They moved it up and said that they were also listening downstairs when Teacher Lang Lang was practicing the piano... Hahahaha..."

Listening to this story, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly:

"Then you didn't tell them that Jay Chou would also come?"

"No, and the funniest thing is that they actually went to ask the real estate agent. The real estate agent specifically told Big Lao Wang, and Da Lao Wang asked me again: What did you say to the people on the 28th floor? It's like having convulsions these days. , if you increase the price, you have to buy the floor I left, and it’s like an auction, with a premium of 500,000... Hahahahaha~"

Seeing her laughing wildly, Xu Xin became even more speechless:

"In other words, they are here for Lao Lang? Then you might as well let the news out that Jay Chou will also come. Then we will hold concerts here every day."

"Hahahahaha~"

It seemed to have hit Yang Mi's smile point, and she couldn't stop laughing.

Lying on the piano and squeezing away tears.

Xu Xin had no choice but to get up and walk towards the bedrooms.

When he opened the first room, he saw a sky blue background with hand-drawn cartoon patterns on it.

Um?

This is……

"This is a children's room reserved for our baby~"

A voice came from behind Xu Xin.

Then, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist:

"There is another room next door, a pink princess room... If you look up, the particles on it are all lights. I specially asked people to find a starry sky ceiling abroad. But it was a lot of effort, just this one ceiling. Nearly two months..."

"Two rooms?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

"Yes."

The woman behind scratched her lover's back and said softly:

"How can one be enough? Right?"
