Chapter 42, Sixty Years
Di Muti leaned on Meng Ran's chest, gently stroked the scar on Meng Ran's abdomen to save himself, and said, "Why do I have you in my mind when I sing that song." And it's mixed with a lot of pictures that have hurt you, and I think I owe you too much..."
Meng Ran sat up, looked at Di Muti and said, "Then you are with me because you feel too indebted to me... That's it? ”
Dimuti also sat up, wrapped himself in the quilt and said, "No, I think... Hmm..."
Meng Ran forcibly kissed Dimuti and said, "It's good if it's not." You don't owe me anything, so there's no point in talking about those things. In the days to come, there will be only happiness and joy between us, and nothing else will be messy. I don't want those things to be your lingering nightmares. Well, we have to record this song, and sending it out before the Lantern Festival is a celebration of the re-screening of "Companion Travel". Or... Shall I carry you to the shower? ”
"Nasty! I'll wash it first, and you won't come with me!" Di Muti patted Meng Ran coquettishly, kissed him on the cheek, quickly picked up the clothes thrown on the ground, put them on in the quilt, and went to the bathroom with a red face.
Meng Ran got up and cleaned up the bed, and walked into the bathroom naked. Dimuti was very relieved not to lock the door, but he didn't expect to lure the wolf into the room, and it was still a big pervert! It didn't take long for the bathroom to be full of spring...
By the time the two of them got dressed and came out to sing officially, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. After recording it twice, the song was recorded, I imported the video into the computer and edited the video a little, posted it on Weibo and @ "Companion Travel" official Weibo and a few friends.
Kikyo held the guitar and Ruoruo also followed suit and filmed a cover video, Wang Mian and Zhan Yu They didn't have any musical cells, but they still sent a video with their girlfriend to celebrate the re-screening.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Ran and Di Muti had a meal at Di's father and mother's house, which was regarded as saying goodbye to the second elder, and then drove to the airport with a suitcase, and got on the plane back to Bincheng with four couples of ethnic fashion designers.
Out of the airport, five cars were neatly parked at the exit. Meng Ran's secretary came over with four assistants, and the four assistants put the suitcases in the trunk for the four designer couples, opened the car door and invited them to go up. Meng Ran and Di Muti put their luggage in the compartment of the first car, and the two of them got into the car. After everyone got into the car, the car set off and went to the dormitory of Ai D company first.
In the Xingyun Community, which is three stations away from the company, Meng Ran rented a high-rise building to use as a staff dormitory. The high-rise has a total of 18 floors, a total of three units, and six households on the first floor, with an average of 65 to 75 square meters per household, a total of 324 households. Designers and management can live here for free, or receive a monthly rental subsidy of 1,500 yuan to rent their own houses outside. At this price, you can also rent a comfortable house in Ben Thanh, but it is just a little farther away. A fool wouldn't live in a house like this that is close and free!
The following assistants and other administrative staff can also live here, but the rent is halved. The average rent for a room here is 2,150 yuan, and when you pay half of it, it is 1,150 yuan, and when you actually collect the rent, you only need 1,000 yuan. In fact, it is quite cost-effective, and it is difficult to rent a house in Bincheng for 1,000 yuan, even if it is a little farther.
Each assistant took their respective couple designers to choose a dormitory, and Meng Ran and Di Muti waited in the car. The two of them are not in a hurry, they will go to the company to have a look later. It's been a long time since I went to work on the sixth day of junior high school, and although I can see the report every day, I still have to look at it in person.
The designers chose the room, took the keys, put the luggage, went downstairs, got in the car and went straight to the company.
Meng Ran's secretary called the management and designers of the office in advance, and everyone gathered in the large conference room.
After getting out of the car, the secretary pinned each designer's badge to their clothes at the front desk, and from today on, they are part of the Love D company.
In the large conference room, Meng Ran met with all the management and designers for the first time. After reading the reports and consumer feedback for nearly half a month, it is generally good. The praise rate of online stores on various platforms has always been high, and most of them are five-star reviews. Of course, there are still a very small number of friends who spoil their clothes after buying them, brush up on bad reviews and post them on Weibo to slander and splash dirty water.
None of this is a big deal, that's what business is. Do average or bad, friends rest assured, even happy. Once the results are made, the friends and businessmen begin to be jealous and jealous, and all kinds of tricks to make stumbling begins. Especially on Weibo, buy a hot search to buy some water army, and look for a few customers who brush up on bad reviews to brush the data, which is just this means.
The customers who bought love D clothes are actually the people who know the best about the quality of things, so the other party was scolded as a dog as soon as they bought the hot search that slandered love D, so that the masses who didn't know the truth didn't dare to speak at will, and honestly watched the fire from the other side.
For the design and distribution of this year's spring/summer and autumn and winter models, Meng Ran introduced four pairs of national style designers to everyone, and officially announced at the meeting that the national style couple clothing and accessories project Ning Ai series was officially established. The designers of the Ningai project team should come up with at least three sets of design drawings of couples with the characteristics of their national costumes within a month, and add them to the sales in spring and summer.
The rest of the things were briefly explained, and there was nothing to do, so Meng Ran and Di Muti went back first. After all, I have to prepare to shoot a variety show, so the time is still quite rushed.
The secretary drove them home, and Meng Ran and Di Muti got out of the car and dragged their suitcases. Meng Ran explained a few more words to the secretary and took Di Muti home.
When they got home, the two of them began to pack their suitcases, and the variety show was filmed in West Ya for a week. The documents of the two people are all done, just go directly. At the beginning of March, the temperature in West Tooth was a few degrees higher than that in Ben City, and the rest was about the same. The trip is a week, and it's not much publicity, so one suitcase for two people is enough. It's just that this time I went to West Ya Country to do a food show, so I still took two suitcases alone and bought a lot of Chinese ingredients and seasonings, and the flight of two people took off from Ben Cheng International Airport at five o'clock in the afternoon.
After a thirty-hour flight, the plane landed at Mali airport at 4 p.m. local time. The two of them pushed four suitcases and carried a backpack, and met the docking director of "Chinese Cuisine" in the parking lot of the airport with a tired face. After putting on the microphone, the chief director got down from the car on the side, pulled Meng Ran to the corner and said, "Hello Mr. Meng, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Meng Ran looked at this female director and was confused, thinking to herself, who are you? But he still asked politely: "Hello, that... I'm sorry, I've been doing a lot lately, and I've been a little bit hard to use my brain, so... Have we seen one? ”
The female director was not angry either, and said: "At the award ceremony, I came behind you..."
As soon as the female director said this, Meng Ran immediately remembered that there was a chance to work together after chatting, but I didn't expect to see it so soon. The female director continued: "I want you to participate in the filming with Dimuti. This show is a Chinese artist opening a Chinese restaurant overseas, and this season is in West Yaguo. When cooking, you may get cut by a knife and get burned, so..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, can't I participate!" Meng Ran didn't say anything, what people were crazy hinted at, and he didn't react anymore, was he still human?
The female director happily asked the staff to come over and install a microphone for Meng Ran, and told him: "In terms of expenses, I will call your company directly." ”
"Okay."
"I'll buy the spring and summer models you love D and give them a discount."
"Hmm... Yes. "It's all ducks on the shelves, it doesn't matter if you get a discount or something, it's ninety-nine off, the loss is not big, hahahaha! Witty as I am!
After loading the microphone, Meng Ran took the car key provided by the vehicle sponsor of the program team, walked to Dimuti's side, kissed her and said helplessly: "I have also become a flying guest, baby." Dimuti happily put his arm around him and said, "That's good, so I don't have to do it!" ”
With the docking director playing the board, the shooting officially began.
Meng Ran and Di Muti put their suitcases in the car, and the two of them drove the car to the restaurant according to the navigation.
Fortunately, there was no one to eat, and everyone was preparing for the evening business.
In the restaurant in the center of Mali, there are more than a dozen tables in the courtyard, and Louis, a young actor under Jiayu, is tidying up the tables outside. In the house, actress Fang Ying was counting her income in the morning at the front desk, and Yu Min, who was also an actress, was washing dishes in the back kitchen. Actor Huang Ning is chopping meat, and chef Zheng Nan is washing vegetables.
Meng Ran parked the car in a nearby parking lot, got out of the car and pushed the box with Di Muti to the door of the restaurant. Looking at Louie's humble appearance, Meng Ran called him: "Little Louie!" ”
Listening to some familiar voices, Louis turned around and saw Meng Ran and Dimuti, this is simply seeing relatives! Louis happily ran over and threw himself on Meng Ran, and said excitedly: "Oh, Brother Meng Ran! What are you doing here! He turned around and shook hands with Di Muti, and said solemnly: "Sister Xiaoti, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the road is hard and the road is hard." ”
Fang Ying at the front desk heard Louie's excited voice and looked outside, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to everyone inside: "It seems that Meng Ran and Di Muti are here." ”
"Huh? Is it? Oops, there's someone to help! Huang Ning put down the knife and washed his hands, and everyone went out to greet the two flying guests.
Everyone greeted each other, they were all mixed in this circle, and they all knew each other to some extent. Push the box into the back kitchen, open the two boxes with ingredients and seasonings, and put the ingredients and seasonings in the back kitchen. Louis took the little couple back to the B&B to put their suitcases and arrange the room by the way.
In the B&B, Meng Ran asked Louis while spreading the quilt: "Is it hard, little brother?" ”
Louis said helplessly: "That's quite tired." The main reason is that people here eat too late. Lunch is two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and when you come, it has just finished lunch time, and dinner has to be more than eight or nine o'clock, and even ten or eleven o'clock is normal. ”
"It seems to be really hard." Dimuti put the clothes in the cupboard, and when they were almost done, the group of three returned to the store.
When they arrived at the store, the two of them naturally tied their aprons, and Dimuti put on gloves and washed dishes with Yu Min. Meng Ran watched their recipes and was busy preparing them.
Zheng Nan looked at Meng Ran, who had superb knife skills, and asked, "Meng Ran, you must have cooked a lot at home, right?" ”
"Not very often, because we don't have much time to cook at home. I can do it, and sometimes Ti wants to eat something to make for her to eat, after all, I can't rely on takeout every day. ”
Hearing Meng Ran say this, Zheng Nan became interested and said: "If you don't show your hand to everyone, if you can, you won't have to be busy with cooking in the kitchen alone." ”
"Okay!"
Meng Ran found some meat, cut some chili peppers, and made a plate of chili fried meat. Zheng Nan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite and tasted it, nodded and said, "Not bad, yes, you can help the kitchen cook when you're busy." "Meng Ran doesn't care, he can do anything. It's okay to cook in the back kitchen, it's okay to order outside, it's okay to order at the front desk, it doesn't matter, it's all work, where is it not to do it.
Zheng Nan fried a few more dishes, and everyone went outside to have a meal together. During the banquet, everyone raised their glasses to welcome Meng Ran and Di Muti to join. After a meal, everyone continued to work.
Reservations are required for the restaurant, so when the time comes, customers who have made reservations will come to the door one after another. Meng Ran and Di Muti took their notebooks and helped to order food outside to record.
"This dish is a little spicy, if you have any requirements for spiciness, you can tell me and let the chef make it for you with the spiciness." Dimuti explained earnestly in English to a local woman. Meng Ran also introduced Chinese food to a local old couple, but Meng Ran, who had some knowledge of Spanish, did not come up with a sentence or two of Spanish to make the old couple very happy.
Because it takes some time to make it, Meng Ran and Di Muti served the guests a pre-dinner dessert, a certain sponsored yogurt.
Meng Ran was idle anyway, chatting with the old couple.
"How long have you been married?"
The old couple looked at each other, and the old gentleman sighed: "I am seventy-two years old this year, and the two of us have been together since we were twelve years old. Ah... It's been sixty years. The old gentleman held the old aunt's hand and looked at her affectionately, and the old aunt also looked at him with a smile. The two looked at each other, and what appeared in front of them was that they were still teenagers.
Meng Ran pulled Dimuti and said to her, "This old gentleman and his lover have been together for twelve years now, and now they have been sixty years. ”
Dimuti looked at them in surprise, inexplicably moved.
