Chapter 20: Invite Taichang Liu to dinner
Back at the manor, Li Liang reminded Ji Xiaobai that he had made an appointment with Director Liu to have dinner at the manor tomorrow night.
Ji Xiaobai then remembered that the program plan had not been written yet, and she still had to ask Du Xue if the artists of the company had been recruited? Don't let the show be on, she would be embarrassed if she didn't have an actor here.
When she found Du Xue, she was reading comics in the comic room, and Ji Xiaobai was a little angry.
Although your attitude towards entertainment companies is a bit perfunctory, you can't slack off like your boss as an employee who gets a salary!
"Du Xue, come to my office!" said and turned around and left.
The two sat opposite each other in the office, and Du Xue looked directly at Ji Xiaobai without fear:
"Yo, the boss is thinking of me, what instructions do you have, say it!"
Ji Xiaobai turned out to be a little inexplicably weak-hearted,
"I used to have too many things to do, but now that the entertainment company will go all out, I want to know how many artists the company has now?"
Du Xue was a little surprised by Ji Xiaobai's attitude, and thought that this entertainment company was her playing ticket, and she was still very depressed and excited to sign a 10-year contract, this is spring?
"Come to the conference room, I'll call them for you to recognize. ”
......
In the conference room, Ji Xiaobai looked at the 6 people sitting below, 2 women and 4 men, all of whom looked 18 years old. The variety show I prepared this time is a run, boy! 6 people can be on it,
"Introduce yourself, focus on the areas you are good at, and your own shortcomings!"
"My name is Geely, a 19-year-old man, good at dancing and likes to play basketball. I'm afraid of heights. ”
"My name is Lizi, a 18-year-old female, good at singing, I like dancing but I haven't studied it systematically. I'm afraid of small bugs. ”
"My name is Zhang Xiaotong, female, 18 years old, good at finding food, researching food, learning piano, not good at singing. ”
"My name is ......"
When several people introduced, Ji Xiaobai kept remembering, and after introducing himself, Ji Xiaobai said to Du Xue,
"Recruit another comedy artist, if you want a man, you must be able to liven up the atmosphere, and all our artists try not to have idol baggage, especially the 7 people who participated in the show this time. ”
"Your debut show is a variety show, there is no script, it all depends on live play, and the only tip I give you is unity. You have to exercise more these days, it's very tiring to be an outdoor variety show!"
Du Xue separated the entertainment company from the comic room, and the office building next to it was also built. Move all over. When I find a place to build the company's office buildings, we will move together. After all, this is my home, and many things are inconvenient!"
......
In the evening, the family had dinner in the restaurant, and Grandma Ji took the initiative to ask Ji Xiaobai's opinion, "Xiaobai, the manor has been built, and the villa can be occupied, when will you call the family and let the eldest family move in?"
Ji Xiaobai thought about having dinner with Director Liu tomorrow night, and there was nothing to do during the day, "I'll pick them up tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, grandma, what does your aunt and aunt mean, don't tell them first, and then wait!"
"Okay, do what grandma wants!"
returned to the room and began to write variety show planning, and began to write scripts according to the abilities and personalities of several people, although I told the artist that there was no script, but in general the director must be clear, this script is written for the director, and I don't know how Du Xuezhao's shooting crew and post-production are?
When he woke up the next day, Ji Xiaobai drove to his uncle's house and found no one at the place.
Isn't it Sunday? Where have everyone gone? When I asked my neighbors, the house had been sold for more than a month, and no one knew where my grandfather's family had moved!
Ji Xiaobai recalled Xiao Nuan's classmates, and finally thought of one and drove to her house.
Stopped and walked into the alley, found her house with her memory, knocked on the courtyard door, and this very smart little girl opened the door and walked out:
"Ah, you're Sister Xiaobai! I haven't seen you for a long time, Sister Xiaobai is getting better and better!"
Ji Xiaobai frowned lightly, because although the little girl was polite, she didn't mean to let her in.
"I'm here to find Xiao Nuan, I know she's at your house, let her come out. ”
The girl's eyes flashed slightly, now Ji Xiaobai is sure that Xiao Nuan is here, but she doesn't understand whether this is what Xiao Nuan means or what the little girl thinks?
"There's something at home, please call Xiao Nuan out, I'm really anxious!"
"Hmph, are you in a hurry? Where did you go when Xiao Nuan was looking for you in a hurry, and now that you know that you are looking for her, she has to come out to see you quickly? Why are you so thick-skinned?"
Ji Xiaobai was scolded and stunned! Xiao Nuan found herself? When? Even if she couldn't find herself, there were still her grandparents there, what happened?
"Little sister, I don't know what you're talking about, seeing that you are so emotional, you should be angry for Xiao Nuan, you are good for her, I don't blame you, but can you call Xiao Nuan out? I want to know what's going on!"
"Hmph!" the girl gave her a back and was about to enter the house, when Xiao Nuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out with a tired face.
"Linlin, is someone from your house?" walked to the courtyard and saw Ji Xiaobai at the door.
"Sister!" As soon as he shouted, tears flowed out, Ji Xiaobai hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, hugged her, and gently patted her back,
"What's going on, be good, don't cry, tell my sister!" The tone has never been gentle, Ji Xiaobai is really panicked, my sister is crying like this, what's wrong?
"Sister, I, I, I, ......"
Seeing that her sister was crying and hiccuping, Ji Xiaobai reluctantly asked her to stop talking about it, and when she entered the house, she slowed down, drank saliva, and stopped crying. The small-eyed thief looked at Ji Xiaobai aggrievedly, pouting, as pitiful as an abandoned child.
"Sister, I was expelled, I can't go to school, I can't find you, my mother said let me find grandma, but my dad said that if I dare to go to you, I will break my legs, sister, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"Wait, what about your house? I went to you and said that you had already sold it, where do you live now?"
"My dad said that my uncle has opened three stores, and the business is still so good, he has no reason to be inferior to my uncle, and then he sold the house despite my mother's objections, bought a store, and said that he wanted to sell boxed lunches, and the store was still being renovated, and they lived there!"
After a pause, he continued,
"I was expelled from school, my dad didn't ask me why I was beaten, sister, I didn't dare to go back, I lived in Linlin's house these days, sister, can you take me home! I went to the store to look for you, the clerk said you didn't live there and moved away, I can't find you, sister!"
Ji Xiaobai still didn't understand how she was expelled, and she couldn't speak for a short time when she looked like her, and she had to cry for a while.
"You come with me, Linlin, thank you for the past few days, find time to go to my house to play, let's go first!"
After speaking, he left with Xiao Nuan, walked out of the alley, and the two got into the car.
"Sister, have you bought a car?, this car is so good-looking, it's different from what I saw before, hello, sister, you're too, you're amazing!"
Xiao Nuan turned into a little cute girl and began to worship her sister, it seems that the car is more attractive than herself.
"I like to wait until I get home, I'll teach you to open it, you tell me where my uncle's shop is first?
"Sister, I don't want to, go pick up my dad, let's go home, can't you?"
"Obedient, with my sister here, my uncle won't beat you, I promise!"
Looking at her sister's serious expression, Xiao Nuan compromised and pointed the way to the store.
The car stopped at the main entrance of the store, Ji Xiaobai didn't even get out of the car, opened the window, and shouted: "Uncle and aunt!"
No one answers, continue:
"Uncle and aunt!"
"Uncle and aunt?"
"Uncle ......"
Before he finished shouting this time, the uncle came out, and Ji Xiaobai didn't give him a chance to speak.
"You and your aunt clean up, bring everything you wear, hurry up, talk about it when you get home, grandparents are waiting at home!"
......
The car was driving towards the manor, getting farther and farther away from the city center, and the uncle and aunt sat in the back and couldn't help asking,
"Aren't you going home, where are you going if you don't go to No. 3 Middle School?"
Ji Xiaobai didn't explain much.
"It's almost there!"
Xiao Nuan sat in the co-pilot, looking like a little fan sister who is really good. Ji Xiaobai rubbed her head funny, and said:
"Don't worry, no matter who bullied you at school, my sister will take revenge on you this time, learning is a must, the school will not go for the time being, I will ask you for a tutor, just prepare for the high school entrance examination at home." ”
After speaking, he looked at the uncle's expression in the rearview mirror, embarrassed and grateful, Ji Xiaobai was satisfied, and there was salvation, not as exaggerated as Xiao Nuan said!
The car drove outside the manor and dropped, and when the doorman saw Ji Xiaobai's car, he immediately opened the door and let him go.
"The eldest lady is back!"
Ji Xiaobai nodded and continued to drive in, the uncle in the back seat wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't say anything, Xiao Nuan looked and looked, it was her voice all the way,
"Wow, what a beautiful rose field!"
"I'm so good-looking! Sister, you see there are dragonflies!"
"Oh, that's butterflies, so many butterflies!"
The car drove to the office building and stopped, and when she saw Li Liang coming out, she drove over and opened the window.
"What time does Director Liu come over in the evening?
"At 4.30 p.m., it's all ready, Miss, eat at the entertainment company or at the main house?"
"Over here, you get busy first. By the way, I'm preparing three big brothers, one for Du Xue, one for the comic room director, and the other for me to send to the main house!"
No one in the car spoke, quietly listening to Ji Xiaobai's arrangement, this time Xiao Nuan didn't say anything if he drove in again, he rolled his eyes, and he didn't know what to think about!
The car was parked in the parking lot in front of the main house, which was just enough to see the eight villas on the left and right.
This is 80 years, and in the face of such a mansion, the family of three was shocked and speechless.
Ji Xiaobai finally said something to Ji Jun, but he scared him a lot.
"Uncle, you can pick one of the 8 buildings next to this, and you can live here in the future, and you can eat by yourself, or you can eat with your grandparents in the main house. ”
Seeing that the uncle was still a little relieved, he sighed and said,
"Xiao Nuan will follow me in the future, and I won't live with you!Come into the house, grandparents are waiting there!"
Walking into the main house, the old man and Grandma Ji were sitting on the sofa eating fruit, watching TV, and when they saw a few people coming in, Grandma Ji complained,
"Why did you come back, it's past lunch!"
"Uncle has moved, and I have been looking for a long time to find it. ”
The old lady didn't say anything about moving, and asked the third runner-up directly,
"Boss, did you pick a house before you came in?"
"Mom, not yet, I haven't reacted yet, you let me slow down first. ”
Ji Xiaobai led Xiao Nuan to the next door of his room on the third floor,
"In the future, if you live here, if you are not afraid to live by yourself, you can also choose a villa to live in by yourself!"
"Sister, is this our family?"
didn't wait for Ji Xiaobai to answer and muttered to himself,
"Could it be that our family is a relative of the emperor and has been living in seclusion, and now that we have reformed and opened up, we will not come back after we go to the cowshed?"
This child's brain is a little big, Ji Xiaobai looked at her helplessly,
"Yes, the royal relatives, you are actually a little princess in the hidden world, are you beautiful?"
"Beautiful, very beautiful, sister, are you the eldest princess?"
Ji Xiaobai rolled his eyes,
"Don't get into the drama so deeply, come out, you go to the backyard of the villa to have a look, it's a good repair, I'm busy today, and I'll solve the school for you tomorrow!"
"Okay, the princess will go out to inspect and come back!"
Seeing Xiao Nuan, who was happy, Ji Xiaobai was relieved, she was afraid that she would have some mental problems when she was bullied this time, it seemed that she was thinking too much.
When I went to my mother's room on the second floor and saw that she was still sleeping, I gently closed the door and went downstairs.
Back in the hall, I heard the uncle asking a very idiotic question,
"Mom, do I really pick whatever I want? This manor is built by the second family? He agreed to let me live in?"
"Uncle, this is the Ji family's manor, I hope our Ji family is a rope, work together, as long as you have the ability, I won't look at what I can help, whether the manor is in my father's name or your name, you must know that this is the Ji family, it's not interesting to calculate it, how big is the whole Huaxia? How big is this manor, let's not worry about the things in the family's pockets, no matter who has them in their pockets, isn't it already the Ji family's?
"The outside world is so big, wouldn't it be more rewarding for us to take it down if we want it!"
Old Man Ji interjected a rare sentence,
"Xiaojun, don't have any ideas because Xiaobai is young, in the future, the Ji family will have the final say, and you don't have to be dissatisfied. ”
"Uncle, you can believe what I said, or don't believe it, but listen, now the Ji family has only begun to develop, and any big family can shoot us to death! The manor is big, but I am willing to spend money, it does not mean that the strength of the family has come up, the Ji family has no connections, and there is no experience in the business world, everything is like a baby toddler, slowly groping, I hope you can be the one who teaches it to walk, not the one who pushes it down!"
Ji Jun was shocked in his heart, he never thought so far, he was still struggling to open a snack bar and sell a house, his niece had built such a majestic manor, and he was still jealous of the life changes of the second family, his niece had already opened a company to talk about business with the TV station, he was really wrong, but it was not too late, he knew that his niece was talking to him so much today just to pull him to develop together.
"Xiaobai, the uncle was wrong before, don't talk about the past, you help the uncle see, how should you start?"
The third runner-up knows that he will never regret it after being cheeky at this time,
"I do have arrangements for you, I hope you stop the toss of that shop, rent it out and sell it at your will, and then I bought a three-entry yard in Yanjing, more than 900 square meters, you go and watch it and find someone to renovate it,"
"Don't destroy the original building structure of the yard, those solid wood decorations are worth a lot of money, and you will live there after the decoration,"
"After that, find a part-time job in one of the hottest restaurants in Yanjing, whether it's cleaning or waiter or steward, depending on your own ability, learn the management methods of a hotel manager for half a year there, and then come back. ”
"In the past six months, I will build the largest and most luxurious hotel in H City, and when you come back to take over, the Ji family's catering will be handed over to you in the future!
The last four words put a lot of pressure on the third runner-up, but it was more about motivation,
"I can do it!"
Ji Xiaobai saw the appearance of the eldest lady who wanted to speak and stopped, and guessed what she was thinking,
"Auntie, you go to Beijing with your uncle, take care of your uncle's life, you don't need you to work, you can take care of him full-time, you have to understand, I built so many villas in the manor for my future brother or cousin, as long as you can give birth, the villa is as you choose,"
Ji Xiaobai almost said that 8 buildings were not enough for me to build again, but fortunately I couldn't bear it, but just to say this, the eldest lady still blushed,
"You kid, you're still joking about the eldest lady!" but she could see that she was listening.
"Xiao Nuan will follow me in the future, you can rest assured, don't beat and scold her in the future, girls should be pampered, there was no such condition in the past, so you can pet it in the future!"
Xiao Nuan outside the door, secretly wiping her tears, the little complaint against her sister disappeared without a trace, and there was only one thought in her heart at the moment: It's good to have a sister!
Only then did I start to walk around the yard, and when I walked to the back of the villa, I saw the super large swimming pool, and the water slide added by Xiaobai, and I was stuffed for a long time.
Swinging on the swing, looking at the seesaw, and the turntable that is only available in the park, there are 6 seats on it, and I can't play this myself, so let my sister teach me when the time comes.
Jumping and walking to the back, there is a particularly large artificial lake behind the stage, and there are wooden boats by the lake, she must invite Linlin to play at home tomorrow, so great must share it with good friends!
......
In the afternoon, Ji Xiaobai was waiting for Director Liu's arrival in the entertainment company's office, and Li Liang went to pick up people with the driver.
Entering the manor, Director Liu was also shocked, it is impossible for people of this era not to be shocked when they see such a manor!
Ji Xiaobai received the news and greeted him outside the office building, and several people went to the restaurant with a smile, although there were only two people, Ji Xiaobai still asked the chef to prepare a table.
"Director Liu, you're welcome, let's eat first, and then talk about business after eating! I didn't eat at noon, I'm starving!"
Director Liu sighed at Ji Xiaobai's age, and saw that she was really not pretentious and started eating, and she was hungry, so she followed to eat first.
The food is very good, much better than the guest house, not only the style is exquisite, the taste is even better, there is nothing to say, this level of food can not be made in the restaurant of h city, and the food of this entertainment company is also too good!
Director Liu didn't know that this was the Ji family's manor, he just thought that the entertainment company was built in the suburbs, didn't he see that there was an office building next to it?
After dinner, the two sat in the office, Ji Xiaobai took out the plan of the variety show and handed it to Director Liu.
"Take a look at it first, I want to use a new way of cooperation in this variety show, our company will produce its own people, shoot it by itself, and then sign a contract with you with the finished product,"
"If it's a cooperation after filming, then you can't sign the contract if you ask me out so early? And the finished product hasn't come out, so I don't dare to say cooperation now. ”
Director Liu didn't say this to ask for benefits, but just to talk about things, and Li Liang showed him his information, and he was a pragmatic person.
Ji Xiaobai said with a smile,
"Today, I invited Director Liu to come here to make a friend, get to know him, and let Director Liu know that there is an emerging entertainment company in H City, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”
"As for the show, we're confident we'll surprise you in the ratings!"
......
