Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lin Daoqiu didn't tell many people about his trip to Baodao. He just called Wu Chou and asked him to send someone to pick him up.

Basically, whenever Lin Daoqiu goes somewhere, unless it's for official business, he usually won't disturb others, let alone put on a show.

However, as soon as Lin Daoqiu got on the plane in Xiangjiang, Baodao was immediately notified.

The promotional film "Alien Invaders" that Lin Daoqiu helped Baodao shoot had not yet been released. Because the film coincided with the death of that person at that time, the release of "Alien Invaders" was delayed.

When Li Zhengnan took over, he was busy eliminating dissidents, so he had nothing to do with a movie.

As for the promise he made to Lin Daoqiu TV Station, Li Zhengnan has long forgotten it. As for whether he did it on purpose or really didn't remember it, it's unclear.

Lin Daoqiu's trip to Baodao this time had only one purpose from beginning to end, and that was to go to **Xia's home to pay New Year greetings, and then return to Xiangjiang after doing this.

But even if he didn't want to attract the other party's attention, the news that he was going to Baodao had already reached the ears of Baodao's senior officials the moment he got on the plane.

When Lin Daoqiu's plane arrived at Songshan Airport in Baodao, he saw two familiar faces as soon as he got off the ramp, Lu Younan and Leng Yuanliang.

One is the executive vice president of China Film, and the other has been promoted to the director of China Film’s External Liaison Office.

I remember that when Lin Daoqiu came to Baodao for the first time, Leng Yuanliang and Ma Mingchuan came to pick him up, and they were outside the airport.

Unexpectedly, Lu Younan and Leng Yuanliang ran to the airport to greet him. Is this their own intention? Or is it Li Zhengnan's intention?

"Mr. Lin, welcome to Baodao. May you make a fortune and have a happy new year."

As the executive vice president of China Film Group Corporation, Lu Younan's past few years can be said to have been smooth sailing.

It's just that after Li Zhengnan took over, Baodao is now a bit turbulent, and everyone doesn't know what to choose.

The mission to pick up Lin Daoqiu this time was assigned by the superiors, and I just asked him to accompany him well.

As the vice president of China Film Group Corporation, this kind of pick-up task would generally not be assigned to him, but Lin Daoqiu was not an ordinary person.

Moreover, it was impossible to send the chairman or general manager of China Film to pick him up at the airport, so Lu Younan had to be in charge.

"Mr. Lu, Director Leng, long time no see. I would like to wish you both good luck and prosperity, and may all your wishes come true."

Lin Daoqiu has always refused to hit people with smiley faces, and those things were not decided by Lu Younan in the first place, so there is no need for him to vent his anger on people like Lu Younan.

At first, Lu Younan was worried that Lin Daoqiu would not be happy when he saw him. After all, Baodao had not given Lin Daoqiu any compensation for that incident.

But fortunately, Lin Daoqiu didn't give him a look when he saw him, which made Lu Younan temporarily relieved.

"The car and accommodation have been arranged for you. Please get in the car."

Even though Lu Younan is now the vice president of China Film Group Corporation, the gap in status between him and Lin Daoqiu has become wider and wider.

Lin Daoqiu is now the head of Xiangjiang Film, and he is also the boss of MGM in Hollywood. The combination of these two identities obviously makes the latter one more valuable.

Fortunately, this time they only told them to pick up Lin Daoqiu and settle him down, so they didn't need to worry about the rest.

As for the accompanying matter, Leng Yuanliang will be responsible for the whole process, as long as Lin Daoqiu needs it.

After Lu Younan had dinner with Lin Daoqiu, he would go back to spend the New Year with his family. After all, he, the vice president, could not be Lin Daoqiu's follower anytime and anywhere.

"Thank you for your hard work, I still need to trouble you to pick me up during the Chinese New Year, so let's go."

Lin Daoqiu had already booked a hotel, but since he was so kind, he couldn't refuse him.

It would not be of any benefit to him to have a bad relationship with these people, so Lin Daoqiu accepted their kindness.

This time, Baodao arranged for Lin Daoqiu to stay at the Grand Mountain Hotel, which has always been a place to receive foreign guests. Lin Daoqiu also caused some trouble when he stayed here before.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that security has been rearranged at the Grand Hotel. No one will dare to cause trouble here."

It seemed that he was thinking of what happened to Lin Daoqiu before, so Lu Younan quickly briefed him on the changes in the Grand Mountain Hotel in recent years.

Lin Daoqiu also believed that the last time such a big thing happened, it had already turned into a foreign-related incident. If the Grand Hotel did not make some changes, it would really not be in line with Baodao's style of doing things.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lu."

Lin Daoqiu was very polite to Lu Younan, but this was the kind of politeness that was a little outside the scope, which meant that Lin Daoqiu was unlikely to treat him as a friend.

Lu Younan was originally assigned to receive Lin Daoqiu this time because he wanted to build a good relationship with him.

But judging from Lin Daoqiu's reaction, although the other party was polite to him, it was obviously impossible to have a good relationship with him.

If he could make good friends with Lin Daoqiu, he might be able to get rid of this subtitle on his head, but now it seems that Lin Daoqiu won't give him this chance at all.

After getting out of the car, Lu Younan wanted to take Lin Daoqiu to the room in person, but he declined.

"Mr. Lu has come to the airport to pick me up during the Chinese New Year. This is a high-level reception. I have already felt your thoughts. Just ask Director Leng to accompany me up. Mr. Lu will stay here."

Lin Daoqiu's words were a bit like a banishment order, but he said them very politely, making Lu Younan helpless even if he wanted to be angry.

"In that case, please have a good rest, Mr. Lin. If you need anything, just inform Director Leng or me."

"Thank you."

Leng Yuanliang seemed worried that Lu Younan would misunderstand, so he quickly spoke.

"Mr. Lu, please rest assured. I will handle the rest. If anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible."

As Lu Younan's subordinate, Leng Yuanliang certainly knew what he should say and do at this time.

Lu Younan just nodded and hummed.

Then Lin Daoqiu took Fang Jinsheng and Leng Yuanliang towards the elevator.

Lu Younan, who was standing in the lobby, watched the three people enter the elevator.

"Is the relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Leng Yuanliang that good?"

Normally Lu Younan always treats Leng Yuanliang as a subordinate, but if he really has a good relationship with Lin Daoqiu, then his position may really be threatened by him.

Just because Lin Daoqiu refused to let him go up with him, Lu Younan felt a sense of crisis, and he also began to doubt Leng Yuanliang. It can only be said that the desire for power will make people more and more complicated.
