I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 415 413. Gas Station Employee

Let's be honest, this house is huge.

Xu Xin didn't know the exact number, but he walked around twice and found out that the house had 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3 living rooms including large and small.

The scenery is also good.

In front of the balcony is the scenery of the Huangpu River.

There are many legends about Tomson Yipin, why it is necessary to use U.S. dollars to buy a house, and capital verification is required before buying.

As the top mansion in the Magic City and even the Celestial Empire, various legends have been flowing around this place since it was built.

Unfortunately, Xu Xin is not from Magic City and cannot figure out the price of this house.

But it doesn't stop him from giving his own evaluation.

And his evaluation is...

So damn scary.

Because I live on a high floor, when I open the balcony door, the cold wind blows in like a ghost. It might be very comfortable in summer, but in the magical city in winter, I am alone in this huge room, watching the wind blow the curtains rustling...

It's really awkward.

It’s also really uncomfortable.

So he looked around the bedrooms again, and finally chose the smallest bedroom and walked in.

No, I can't sleep in the big bedroom.

Space, afraid of nightmares.

Immediately afterwards, his cell phone rang.

Guo Jingming came to give him red wine.

Because the elevator uses palm print and access control recognition, each household owner can only go to his own floor without invitation.

After he entered the elevator, Xu Xin had to press the button to pick him up on the 40th floor.

Xu Xin really didn't know much about Guo Jingming. But at least the two of them knew each other, and Xu Xin did his best to treat the guests.

What's more... although it doesn't matter to him, at least in the eyes of some people, expanding contacts is quite important.

With a bottle of red wine in his hand, Xu Xin politely invited him to sit at home.

However, the other party was not a dumbass who didn't understand anything. He said with a smile that he wanted to go up to eat. So Xu Xin naturally said that they would come out to sit together another day, and the meeting at the elevator ended.

After politely waiting for the elevator to close, he returned to the house with the bottle of red wine.

He put it in the wine cabinet and ignored it. He walked into the small bedroom and started taking a shower.

After washing myself, I came out, lay on the bed, and then dialed my wife's phone number.

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

"Well, I just took a shower and am going to bed. What are you doing?"

"I just came back from a hot pot restaurant and just finished my skin care. As soon as you left, my dad didn't want to wait on me. We found a shabu-shabu restaurant and had a bite. We smelled so much of hot pot. I went to take a shower. At this moment, you are so beautiful and fragrant that you get into the bed and sleep warmly with Yangyang in your arms~"

She was full of coquettishness on the phone.

The use of repeated words is perfect.

Then he asked:

"Are you in the hotel?"

"No, I'm at Tomson Yipin."

"Tomson First Grade?"

"Yes, the old man has an apartment here. When I arrived tonight, I originally planned to go to Xu Yang's place to sleep for the night, but there was a buzzing noise there, as if he was hanging out with someone in a bar. So I called Li Hao. I called and asked, and I’m here right now.”

"That's okay. We've already moved into top-notch mansions! I don't even know which way the door of that place opens."

"That's what I know. If I hadn't called Li Hao, I wouldn't have known that the old man had a house here...but it was so scary. I estimate that this house is at least 400 to 500 square meters. I'm the only one, and since it's a high-rise building, the wind blowing from the Huangpu River blows in here, making ghosts cry and howl. I'm the only one in the whole house..."

"Woooooooooo, I'm a ghost~I'm a ghost~~~~~"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"are you crazy?"

"I am a pervert who specializes in sucking people's semen~~~~"

"Then if you are able, come here. Tonight I will let you see what "The Love between Man and Ghost" is called."

“Oh~~~~Buy~~~~Spicy~~~~~Buy Darling~~~~~”

If you really want to tell it...it's actually quite romantic that an old couple can still have this ability to talk on the phone.

How many couples actually have lost a lot of the romance of love when they are in love.

The two of them maintained this habit of talking on the phone when they were in different places, which would be more enviable to others.

But she is really not serious.

You said you were holding your two children on the phone, couldn't you just keep a low profile?

This is even sung.

Xu Xin was speechless after hearing this and quickly changed the topic:

"Hey, do you know who lives above me?"

"Li Jiacheng?"

"...Why is it him?"

"I don't know. Didn't he develop this house? He also created the shared area. Bah! Thief Sun!..."

"It's Guo Jingming."

After hearing his words, Yang Mi, who was still cursing, was stunned...

"who?"

"Guo Jingming~ He's the author of the book "Fantasy City" you put in the toilet. He's upstairs from me."

"ah?"

It could be heard that Yang Mi was really confused.

"What a coincidence?... He can afford a Tomson first-class product... Oh, that's right, he has indeed made a lot of money in the past two years. Especially the young girls born in the 1990s are obsessed with him to the point of giving up~"

"Didn't you do the same back then?"

"I didn't have any... I had no money at the time, and he always liked to write about showing off his wealth or about upper-class society. I read it as an informative book at the time! But after I met you, I discovered... that he His books are so nonsense and full of inferiority complex. The rich people in his books want to eat gold every time... Ever since I saw you squatting on the threshold and snoring with a noodle basin, it completely broke my heart. A fantasy about rich people. That’s why I don’t like it~”

"..."

In the past two years, my wife has become very good at talking.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether her words were disparaging Guo Jingming or hurting himself.

She...shouldn't be insulting me, right?

"Then what? How do you interact with each other? How did you recognize each other?"

"We just took the elevator together, and he recognized me."

"You're not wearing a mask?"

"Wear it."

"Then... Oh, yes, he is quite short. His perspective may be different from ordinary people~"

"????"

Xu Xin couldn’t laugh or cry:

"It's a bit disrespectful of you to talk about other people's pain points."

"He plagiarized. Ever since the incident of "How Many Flowers Fall in My Dream" plagiarizing "Inside and Outside the Circle", I have turned a fan of him into a hater."

"Plagiarism?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

"Yes, he has a book called "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams", which he copied from another author's "Inside and Outside the Circle"... And he still doesn't admit it. Anyway, I don't like him now~"

"Well."

Hearing this, Xu Xin responded:

"I see... That's a bit like knowing people but not knowing them. He just gave me a bottle of red wine, and he was quite polite. But it doesn't matter... I will only live in this house once, and I will stay there again in the future. I can't stand it anymore. I'm so scared..."

"Woooooooooo, I'm a ghost~~~~~"

"Get out of here, you..."

Seeing that she was getting angry again, Xu Xin sighed helplessly:

"Okay, you can continue to be a ghost. I'm going to sleep~"

"No, big brother, let's chat for another ten dollars."

"I'll give you a hundred, can you let me go?"

"Tch, it's really boring. Then you can rest...how many days will you stay there?"

"Two days, two days of meetings tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I just have to talk to Shanghai Film Studio about "The Grandmaster". What?"

"No, it's just... I don't feel comfortable being separated from you. I miss you~"

Feeling his wife's longing, he smiled and said:

"I really hope you can be by my side right now."

"...You don't dare to sleep alone, do you?"

"..."

"Woooo~ I'm a ghost~ I'm a ghost~~~"

Toot.

Hanging up the phone without mercy, Xu Xin put the phone on the bedside table and turned off the lamp.

The bedroom was dark.

But less than five seconds...

"Crack."

The lamp turns back on.

Xu Xin, who was tightly wrapped in quilt, muttered:

"Your uncle's!"

…

Parked in the garage of Tomson Yipin is a Mercedes-Benz S600.

There was a layer of floating dust on the windshield, which had obviously not been touched for a long time.

And there wasn't much oil left.

In fact, he has always been somewhat resistant to Mercedes-Benz cars, especially high-end models. The main reason is... this car is for sitting, and when you drive it, it is easy for people to mistake you as the driver.

But there is definitely nothing wrong with taking it and making do with it.

He drove the car out of the basement and walked towards the Expo venue.

To be honest, apart from providing suggestions for the opening ceremony in the early stages of the Expo, his participation in the entire Expo was minimal.

The entire hosting team was selected from the local area of ​​Shanghai.

But I have to admit that judging from the current progress, various progress shows that although this opening ceremony is a bit smaller, it is more exquisite.

The fraternity and the way to express yourself are also presented in the most appropriate way.

It's really good.

When he arrived at the conference center, Zhang Wu had already arrived.

As usual, the two acted as little transparency at the conference.

This year's Spring Festival falls around Valentine's Day in the Gregorian calendar year. It's obviously not the end of the year in more than a month, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

As a consultant, Zhang Wu expressed some symbolic opinions, and that was the end.

But after all, it was the first conference in 2010, and there were still many key points in the conference.

A meeting was held all morning, and even people from the construction team of the completed venue were present.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, the meeting adjourned.

In the afternoon, everyone will go to the venue in the JA area to watch a rehearsal.

A simple meal in the cafeteria at noon.

After eating, Zhang Wu looked at the Daben driven by Xu Xin and raised his eyebrows:

"Bought it new? ... No, this style looks quite old. Why haven't I seen you driving it before?"

"I didn't know we had such a car at home."

Hearing this, Zhang Wu, who knew what was going on at Xiao Xu's family, laughed:

"Haha... let's go, then I will take a big ride today."

"Okay, I'll be your driver. Leader, get in the car~"

"Hahaha~"

Zhang Wu smiled and sat in the back seat, and Xu Xin drove out of the conference center.

The two of them have been to the rehearsal location many times and don't need anyone else to guide them.

After leaving the parking lot of the conference center, Zhang Wu took out a cigarette from behind:

"Xiao Xu, here it is."

"Eh."

After Xu Xin took Yuxi and lit it, he heard Zhang Wu say:

"When you choose a car to go out in the future, you should try to be as low-key as possible. Especially after next spring, aren't you going to be the director of translation production at Xiying Studio? Look more at what other people at Xiying Studio drive, and then you can choose It’s almost the same. In some places, luxury cars are not the best choice.”

"Yes, I definitely understand that. But I was staying at home last night, and this was the only car in the basement."

“In the future, we need to pay more attention to details like this.”

Regarding Xu Xin's "explanation", Zhang Wu leaned on his seat and said calmly:

"In many places, you only need to consider three things. Think about danger, think about retreat, and think about change. Sometimes you may think that you will do something just once, or you will do something just once. But it just happens to be this time. It may have fallen into the eyes of some people. Those are some unnecessary subjective impressions~"

"So...details are very important, right?"

"That's right. This is your car too... If it were someone else's car, I wouldn't even sit in it."

In just a few words, he understood the meaning of all Director Zhang's words.

At the same time, I also kept these words in my heart.

…

He spent the entire day on the 8th at the Expo.

In the evening, he came directly from the hotel and drove to the dinner place agreed with Liu Momo.

Today's dinner appointment was at a local restaurant in Shanghai. When he saw Liu Momo in the private room, he suddenly showed an unexpected look.

This sister has always presented herself as a powerful lady with short hair.

But during this meeting, Xu Xin discovered that she had begun to grow her hair longer.

"Why did you change your hairstyle?...Looking for a boyfriend?"

Hearing this, Liu Momo's mouth twitched...

"Why did every one of you think I had a boyfriend when you found out I started growing my hair out?"

"Then what kind of hairstyle should you change?"

"Because my short hair is combed crookedly."

"...Okay, then it's almost time to find a boyfriend. Every time I see Uncle Liu, he always asks me to push you. How can I push you? You have to be conscious."

"Thank you for your concern. I haven't seen you for a few months, but your words are so "warm"."

Liu Momo couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Xin asked:

"What about the rest?"

"I was sent away to be busy with "Snow Leopard". This time, "Snow Leopard" was filmed in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the days were almost over. What's more, there were some things that we had to talk about alone, so I didn't let everyone come over."

Liu Momo said and rang the service bell.

Soon the waiter came in and she began to take orders skillfully.

Because she knew Xu Xin drove, she didn't mention drinking during the meal.

After ordering the food and drinking tea, she got straight to the point:

"What's going on with "The Grandmaster" that you couldn't explain clearly on the phone?"

"I'm going to invest."

"I'm not very optimistic about this film... In other words, I have no confidence in Wang Jiawei's commercial film."

The moment he heard her words, Xu Xin was stunned...

Then I was happy.

"Haha~"

"What are you laughing at?"

"Sister Mo, don't you think this sounds very familiar?"

Liu Momo was startled...and then realized what he was referring to.

He smiled and shook his head:

"You are quite vindictive."

Unknowingly, the two have known each other for more than three years.

The cooperative relationship is getting closer and closer.

But when he said these words today, Liu Momo recalled the time when they first met.

"I'm getting old...I'll be 30 next year..."

"So I say hurry up and find someone to get married to."

"Get out of here! I'm so impatient now that you're talking about it!"

"Tsk..."

Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, and then said:

"Actually, I'm not optimistic about the revenue of "The Grandmaster" either. And... you're right, it's really hard to say about Wang Jiawei's commercial films. But my purpose in this matter is not to make money..."

He began to slowly describe the pros and cons.

Liu Momo was a little resistant at first.

As an investor, she actually lives a very realistic life.

Only projects that can make money are called projects.

She did it even though she knew she was losing money... Maybe it was because of her low ideological consciousness, but she really didn't think it was necessary.

But as Xu Xin narrated and understood the meaning of this movie, her answer was quite refreshing:

"Then invest. But... the maximum investment against the wind is less than five million. The big head has to come from Shuangwei, and I have to be responsible for shareholders like Xu Yang and others. Unlike Shuangwei, although Xu Yang and you all grew up together The big one becomes smaller, it doesn't matter.

But partners are partners. For your sake and theirs, I will try my best to stop losses. Making money with everyone is my first priority.

On the Shanghai Film Studio side, the support I give you is that if your negotiations are blocked, I can come forward when necessary. But you asked me to take your, Mimi, Xu Yang's money and carry out a business that I know is a loss. I can't do this.

Moreover, our business in Europe is currently mainly promoting "The Voice", and I mainly focus on the film business in China. "The Grandmaster"...or Wang Jiawei's reputation, for us, having both is the same as having a headwind.

Because I will issue a notice of equity changes after the year. Regardless of whether I invest this time or not, everyone will know the relationship between Shuangwei and Headwind later, so I will not invest too much money this time. I am responsible for Xu Yang and the others. Do you understand what I mean? "

"certainly."

Xu Xin nodded.

Liu Momo's meaning is actually very simple.

Investing in this drama is equivalent to headwinds.

When Shuangwei comes out, he comes out against the wind.

So Shuangwei came to take the lead.

It's not that you can't invest in headwinds, but there is a problem of losing money. Although everyone understands that business involves losses and profits, even Xu Yang and Xu Zhi don't necessarily care about losing 10 to 20 million.

But as the leader, she must be responsible for worrying about shareholders' money.

Even though she knew clearly that Shuangwei and Nifeng were inseparable from each other, secretly she also wanted to help Xu Xin protect and develop their relationship.

So it sounds like going against the wind and taking advantage of Shuangwei.

But in fact, it is precisely because the two families are one, that there is no such thing as who takes advantage.

Shuangwei rushed forward, while she stabilized everything against the wind.

If "The Grandmaster" has won numerous awards, it has become a well-known masterpiece. Then use a small investment to exchange for this honor, and at the same time help shareholders save money.

This kind of business is called making money.

Make a lot of money from face and lizi.

It is the most perfect solution.

Of course Xu Xin understands.

That's why I'm so happy.

This is the proper way for "one's own people" to do things.

The division of labor is clear and the organization is clear.

It couldn't be more perfect.

Seeing him nod, Liu Momo added:

"If you are worried that we can't talk, then I can go with you tomorrow. But I can only say that I am going to the platform... There are actually many people in Shanghai Film Studio who know that I am. But what opinions do you want me to express..."

"When you stand next to me, it's the same as expressing your opinion."

Xu Xin waved his hand:

"I know you don't want people to think that you are relying on Uncle Liu to do things. You said it when we first met, so I can just talk about it myself. Anyway, didn't you just open "Snow Leopard" with them? 》This project? As long as they know you, that’s fine.”

"Um……"

Liu Momo smiled and nodded, then suddenly lowered his voice:

"Then let me tell you something. This matter is currently regarded as speculation by many people, but I have talked with my dad and there should be no problem."

"...What's the matter?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

"In the future, my reputation may be greater than it is now."

"oh oh……"

Xu Xin nodded subconsciously.

But I immediately realized something was wrong...

"Huh??? You...Uncle Liu...this..."

Liu Momo shrugged, with a happy look on his face:

"I'm very lucky to have brought Xu Yang and the others over. In the future, the less I will show up for this kind of thing, the better... It just so happens that I can run the outside business in a down-to-earth manner. This way, at least the two sides can see clearly that they are still separated. Listen clearly. No matter what people say in the future... I am abroad every day, promoting our works, at least we can bring glory to our own people. The further I go, the more at ease I feel. At least the job I like and My dad has no conflicts..."

Xu Xin frowned...

Then he sighed...

"How about... you see who can do it if I'm a child. The more you act like this, the more I feel sorry for you."

"Go go go~"

Liu Momo was speechless again:

"Brother, can you please stop pushing me? How can I still harm you little brats? The female junior is holding gold bricks. She grew up with you. Why don't you start with three bricks? Aren’t you trying to trick your own people? You’re too ungrateful.”

"Hey, if they could marry you, who among them wouldn't burn incense?"

"Do you believe me if I keep telling you that I will sink you into the Huangpu River?"

"Hahaha~"

Although I was worried about the older leftover woman in front of me.

But when he heard that she was going to sink him into the river, Xu Xin, who had not yet expanded his villa business to the bottom of the river, didn't dare to be embarrassed.

Just in time, the cold dishes are here.

He picked up the chopsticks:

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. Well, eh, handsome guy, please add some beef to me."

The meal was full of eating and chatting, and although there was no wine, we still had tea instead of wine and returned home happily.

Liu Momo also drove here, so Xu Xin didn't need to send him off, so they both went their separate ways.

Xu Xin walked for a while, and the oil meter light came on.

There happened to be a gas station right in front of the road, so he walked right in.

A young man who looked quite tall ran out of the house to cheer him on.

The two of them didn't communicate while filling up the tank. When the tank was filled, Xu Xin followed him into the house and gave him money.

Next to the computer where the money was given, there was a computer with a cartoon sticker of an orc sword master on the casing.

A man's voice came from the laptop's speaker:

"Dragon DD Queen! Jump in! BKB is activated! Big move!!! Seconds! Seconds!! The Queen descends to earth!!!"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Xin knew that the video was DOTA, so he stretched his head and looked at the computer.

Want to see who beats whom.

"Who is hitting whom?"

"IEM Chengdu Station, LGD plays EHOME."

The guy handed the change to Xu Xin and said casually.

"live streaming?"

"No, video."

"LGD...Laogandaddy? FTD?"

"right."

"Oh, this team is quite strong. When they played CD in SMM, didn't they sink CD? But the two players in the offlane of their team are too average. It's completely the result of 2009, clues, and GX. Leading the team forward... But I remember what I said two days ago was... the guy who was so fierce in beating Chenghai 3C, what was his name... YYF, didn't he join them?"

do not know why.

When Xu Xin said this, the guy's expression suddenly became weird.

He asked in a tone that was three parts expectant, three parts worried, and four parts embarrassed:

"You also play DOTA? What do you think of YYF?"

"It's not bad. This guy's escape is top-notch, my wife said."

"...Is your girlfriend a fan of his?"

"No, he is my wife's fan."

Looking at the video on the screen, Xu Xin, who had no intention of leaving in a hurry, said casually.

Then... the guy's expression changed from weird to speechless.

Here comes the sentence directly:

"Your girlfriend is Yang Mi?"

Xu Xin was stunned and glanced at him unexpectedly, and then a bad taste began to overflow.

Pulling up his mask, he revealed his true face:

"No, my wife is Yang Mi."

"..."

The young man looked at the face in front of him...

At first it felt familiar.

But immediately I felt speechless.

Here comes a sentence:

"Oh, then I'm YYF."

"Just blow it."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes in confusion.

But he didn’t hesitate. He took the money and waved to him:

"gone."

With that said, he walked out of the gas station convenience store.

And today is the last day of night shift. The young man who will go to the LGD team training base after receiving more than 3,000 yuan in salary tomorrow morning didn’t think much about it. He just paused the video, opened the battle platform in the lower right corner, and looked at the one in the friend list. The ID of IG_YM sent this sentence:

"You have so many fans."

"?What's wrong?"

"I just met a strange man who said he was Xu Xin and that he was your husband."

"Is this guy crazy?"

"..."

"Okay, do you want to take the number? Line up two?"

"Not tonight, I'm on night shift."

"Okay. Then I'll call 8 Gou to dismantle the black shop."

"good."

After exiting the chat box, the young man looked at the lights of the Mercedes-Benz in the distance and shook his head.

Return Yang Mi’s husband...

How can rich people dream like this?

"Tsk, tsk."

He smashed his mouth, his eyes full of speechlessness.

In order to avoid being criticized, let me explain in advance: this book has an e-sports line. Although I won’t describe too many of them, there are certainly some. After all, this plate is really not small.
