I am a super cop

Chapter 900 Liars Don’t Want To Talk To You

12 o'clock noon.

125 Shengli Road.

In Fatty Wang's restaurant, everyone is celebrating the smooth progress of this project.

But according to Bao Chen's point of view, a project without a contract is not considered a win, but here, everyone doesn't seem to care about it.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, feeling that they will make a lot of money in the second half of the year.

"In order for us to successfully win the project this time, I suggest that everyone go together." Fatty Wang picked up the wine glass and couldn't wait to celebrate the victory.

Ribs man Zhang Kai casually picked up his wine glass, smiled and said, "Go one."

"I'll just drink a little." Jiumei picked up the wine glass and was extra cautious: "After all, there is still a game tonight, everyone take it easy, don't drink too much, and keep your head clear."

"Then Jiumei should drink less, you are the coordinator of our team." He Xiaofan immediately took Jiumei's wine glass and poured some beer from Jiumei's cup into his own.

"Where's Gu Chen?" Fatty Wang glanced at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen picked up a glass of milk: "I'm driving, I don't drink alcohol, let's use milk instead."

"It's fine, with your brother Wang, we don't pay so much attention."

Fatty Wang was also very happy today.

The main reason is that I had a very pleasant talk with the producer in the morning, and everyone seemed to have a feeling of seeing each other late.

Cooperation, the most important thing is co-production.

These days, looking for a producer who is both capable and reliable can be said to be a thousand choices.

It's fate to meet you.

Therefore, during the contact in the morning, everyone has actually reached a preliminary cooperation intention. If Wan Xiaojuan's team has no problem after discussion, they can actually sign the contract in the evening and finalize the details.

Thinking that everyone has work to do in the second half of the year, maybe they can still work until the first half of next year, so everyone is very excited, and a lot of expenses are counted on the remuneration of this project.

After He Xiaofan drank the wine in his glass, he was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, looked up and hummed a song: "If I can do it all over again, I will be Li Bai."

"Ah ah ah, drooling." Seeing He Xiaofan's saliva splashing everywhere, Fatty Wang hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

Jiu Mei also covered her mouth and snickered: "Student He Xiaofan is a good singer, with this energy, why don't you go to karaoke at night, and show your potential as a singer to the producer, maybe even the theme song of the TV series will be given to you singing."

"Haha, if that's the case, then I can cut my salary in half. Singers can make a lot more money in business than us screenwriters."

"Praise you a few words, are you still out of breath? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Zhang Kai was already hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and gorged himself.

He Xiaofan, who can't drink too much, got a little too drunk. After humming a few lines of "Li Bai", he couldn't help but say: "It would be great if I could be as chic as Li Bai. I drink and write poems on weekdays, and I want to travel and say goodbye. just go."

"He doesn't need to write manuscripts, and he doesn't need to pay back the money. He just opens his mouth like 'I don't know the moon when I'm young, and I call it a white jade plate', or 'I'll come back after all the money is gone'."

Glancing at everyone, He Xiaofan brought up the topic of chatting with Gu Chen in the car before and said:
"Just think about it, where has this child from an ordinary family seen a 'white jade plate'? If he wasn't a rich second generation, how could he have written such a heroic poem as 'the thousand gold is gone and it will come back'?"

"If it weren't for Li Bai's solid family background as a guarantee for Li Bai to travel freely in the world, Li Bai, a jobless vagrant who is idle and drunk, if it were someone else, he would be beaten to death in a matter of minutes."

"And he also married the daughters of two prime ministers in succession, and they all married into the woman's family backwards."

Taking a deep breath, He Xiaofan shook his head and sighed: "This guy... is really a winner in life, unlike us, who have to run around for a living every day, mortgage and car loan, and can't breathe, it's not as good as Li Bai, a super man who has spanned thousands of years. The internet celebrity is chic."

"Stop pretending, my ancestor is Li Bai." A male waiter who served everyone joked with everyone while serving the dishes to the table.

"Xiao Li, you are taking advantage." Seeing this, Fatty Wang smiled and said, "Give me a few more dishes."

"Boss, you are ordering Li Bai's descendants." The male waiter named Xiao Li has a good relationship with Fatty Wang, so he is naturally used to flirting with him.

Gu Chen coughed twice, and also reminded: "Li Bai's eldest son, Li Boqin, gave birth to two daughters, and his second son, Li Tianran, has no offspring."

"Give birth to two daughters? The second son, Li Tianran, has no descendants?" Zhang Kai quickly understood the meaning, and also laughed haha: "Since Li Bai has no descendants, what about your Excellency?"

Xiao Li: "..."

"Your Excellency has no future, surnamed Li." He Xiaofan joked.

Xiao Li: "..."

Jiumei waved her hand: "No, no, it should be Li Ziyan, because the sunlight censer produces purple smoke."

Xiao Li: "..."

"Pfft! I'm afraid it was Li's accident? You might as well call Li Bai a dream, or it may be the offspring left by Li Bai's travels abroad, soilless cultivation." He Xiaofan also said jokingly.

Xiao Li: "..."

"Alas, it's too much." When Fatty Wang heard this, he put down his chopsticks and reminded, "Xiao Li is an employee of my family, so you can't bully him like this. Our employees can only be bullied by me."

"If you want me to think, why don't you just call it Li Bairimeng, or Li Shihou? Isn't it possible for a Monkey King to pop out of a rock?"

"puff!"

"Hahaha, Fatty Wang, you are going too far."

"Is it okay if you don't cheat employees like you?"

"No, no, it should be the seeds sown by Comrade Li Bai's tour of the mountains and rivers. Think about it, Li Bai has a lot of fans, and there is no shortage of female fans. There are too many gifts. In order to keep the female fans, Li Bai naturally has to meet someone face or something."

"Besides, Yuting wasn't sold in ancient times. Do you really think that he went to so many places for travel? So in summary, Lao Li should have children and grandchildren all over the world."

"Hahaha."

Xiao Li: "..."

Seeing the endless teasing by the crowd, the waiter Xiao Li's face turned green.

I really want to give myself a slap in the face, blame myself for being cheap and mess with these screenwriters.

But after thinking about it, the waiter Xiao Li's eyes suddenly brightened.

He looked at Gu Chen weakly and said: "Didn't this one just say that, didn't Li Bai do the door-to-door? Then didn't his eldest son have two daughters? My ancestors may be... married."

"Why don't you just say it was given by the old Wang next door?" Fatty Wang almost burst into tears, and also made a pause gesture: "Okay, okay, stop teasing here, stop here, Xiao Li hasten to go serve."

"Okay, if you tease me like this, aren't you afraid that I'll put laxatives in your dishes?" The waiter Xiao Li also left with a teasing tone.

Ridicule is ridicule, but everyone is like a mirror in their hearts.

Today's noon is the beginning of everyone's early celebration of victory.

Although, there is a chance of disappointment.

Or the producer suddenly calls and tells you that the cooperation may have to be suspended.

Or a phone call to tell you that we have other cats that seem more suitable than you.

In the commercial society, there are too many things that first make verbal promises, shop around, and then change their minds.

However, these are farts in everyone's eyes.

Celebrating in advance is also cheering yourself up.

After all, no one received a project in the first half of the year, and it was difficult to live on their laurels.

Dinner parties like this are still rare, and everyone must find an excuse to make this dinner look worthy of the name.

This can be regarded as a preview of the dinner tonight.

It's been a long time since you've had dinner at the dinner table. Sometimes, you don't know what the process should be.

How to toast.

How to speak.

Don't even know what the drinking tips are.

Gu Chen could see that everyone was panicking.

This lunch... is nothing more than an exercise in courage.

In fact, as early as in the coffee shop, Gu Chen had already seen it when he heard everyone talking about the dispute over signatures and the fight for various rights.

These people are very panicked.

Anxiety seems to be in everyone's heart all the time.

It was well prepared, and even listed all the details clearly.

Then, your opponent came over and agreed to everything, feeling that this battle was won too easily, and it didn't even have any technical content.

After drinking for three rounds, He Xiaofan got drunk, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Gu Chen, I have to trouble you for the party tonight."

"No problem." Gu Chen didn't mind.

It's nothing more than driving to pick up and drop off, with little effort.

He Xiaofan said enviously: "Everyone envies Li Bai, but in fact, you are the person that Brother He envies the most."

"Ah?" Gu Chen was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'm a policeman, do you envy me?"

"Of course, because you can do the work you like, but I am a screenwriter just to make a living, can it be the same?"

Looking at the big white G outside, He Xiaofan also expressed emotion: "One year, give me one year, and I will bring back a big G."

Seeing Gu Chen nodded slightly, he remained silent.

He Xiaofan smiled: "Gu Chen, you may think I'm vulgar, but this is life, everyone's family background is different, maybe what I envy is what you have."

"Although as the saying goes, money is not everything, and you can't buy true feelings with money."

"But once you have money, others will find that your bald head is shining with wisdom, and your big belly looks so mature and reliable."

"Girls will slowly appreciate your advantages, and then develop feelings for you."

Gu Chen was stunned: "But wasn't your previous motto 'Plainness is happiness, contentment is always happiness'? Why? Changed it again?"

"Haha." Seeing this, Fatty Wang also smiled and said, "Gu Chen, being ordinary is a blessing, contentment is always happy, and that is just a temporary comfort for the loser."

"The other is that the rich have reached a certain level, so they feel that being ordinary is a blessing."

"Otherwise, look at those rich people who often publish books or write articles, telling us how he is not interested in money, and how he yearns for the happiness of poverty."

"What's the purpose? It's nothing more than fear that once we fight, it will threaten their status."

"The knife is bloody." Zhang Kai was taken aback, and after drinking a glass of beer, he also smiled lightly: "To tell the truth, you will have no friends."

"It's heartbreaking. Please turn out that we all have difficulty choosing, and we are not nerds. As for poverty and ugliness? Poverty is real, but it has nothing to do with ugliness." Jiumei snatched Zhang Kai's wine glass and put it on the On one side, several people are prohibited from drinking again.

But Zhang Kai refused to accept it and said, "I'm different from your Jiumei. I live in a house not because I'm poor, but because I don't want to see the world."

"After all, I have lived for decades without being cheated. I thought I was so smart, but now I realize that I am too poor, and even liars look down on me."

"Maybe you're so smart that even liars don't want to talk to you." Gu Chen joked.

Zhang Kai grabbed Gu Chen's shoulders, and hiccupped, "Brother Gu Chen, what you said makes sense."

"But when you get rich, people will appreciate that you are smart and bald, with a shiny head and a reliable belly."

"And when you become poor, people will dislike you for being bald before you get old, greasy and ugly, with a big belly like a pregnancy, and fat and oily."

"When you love you, you yell and say that you have a personality. When you don't love you, you are as gentle as a cat and think you are hairless."

"That's why I said that I live in a house not because I'm poor, but because I don't want to see the world."

"But I think you are more likely to escape. Isn't it because you are lazy?" Gu Chen retorted.

Zhang Kai smiled.

He Xiaofan and Fatty Wang also laughed.

Do you think the police are that poor?

Dare to play tricks in front of the screenwriter?

However, Gu Chen's one or two words completely tore apart everyone's self-comfort.

Jiumei was the most sober among the crowd, knocking on the table to remind Fatty Wang: "Wang Hai, arrange a room in your hotel later, sober up, and I will arrange the reception at night."

"No problem, I'll give them whatever service they want, and I'll make sure they leave happily. Don't worry about the contract."

Fatty Wang is a very happy guy in all aspects. He studied philosophy in college.

Most of the children who choose philosophy majors in this kind of university have no urgent burdens at home, and studying philosophy is purely a hobby.

The family originally wanted Fatty Wang to inherit the restaurant and run it well, but He Xiaofan fooled him into becoming a screenwriter.

This is very similar to Gu Chen himself.

……

……

4:50pm.

According to the pre-arranged place, Fatty Wang arranged an antique and elegant hotel for the production team.

Mainly in the center of the business district, next door is KTV, you can take the production team with you after dinner.

The reason why we came to the restaurant in advance is because many details of the contract need to be finalized, so we can discuss the details before serving the food.

This time, there are not only the literary director Wan Xiaojuan whom I met in the coffee shop in the morning, the script producer Zhao Sifan, the male assistant Xiao Gao, but also the literary planner Liao Fan who has never met in the morning.

As soon as everyone came to the private room, they became polite to each other.

The middle-aged man, Liao Fan, also apologized and said: "I met an old acquaintance this morning, and he was holding me back. I can only ask Director Wan and the others to come over and discuss the details with you."

"But don't worry, the requests you made are all legitimate requests. We are a big production company, so of course we won't cheat you."

"That is to say?" Jiumei seemed to understand what Liao Fan meant.

Liao Fan smiled: "What I mean is, we can meet all your requirements. Send an email to the head office today. If the company's senior management agrees, we can sign the contract tonight."

"Really?" Jiumei grinned, this was the contract she had been looking forward to.

Liao Fan was not as difficult to deal with as the industry said, and he was even easy to talk to.

Of course, Jiumei also knows that it is still difficult for the small team to make various requests with Liao Fan.

However, the team I belong to has participated in large-scale productions after all, and they all have their signatures.

Therefore, both strength and worth are placed here.

In the face of industry giants, both parties will give the same respect. After all, their strengths are equal, and they will not bow their knees when they cooperate.

"Then... when will the contract be signed?" He Xiaofan hurriedly asked because he was afraid that the night would be full of dreams.

Liao Fan crossed his hands on the table and said with a light smile, "If I'm not wrong, the senior management at the head office should reply to me before 6 o'clock."

"But please don't worry, my side can pass, and the head office is not a big problem. As long as everyone cooperates with integrity, I believe our project will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more possibilities for cooperation in the future."

Liao Fan's words are very contagious, after all, literary planning is not just for nothing.

Jiumei believed it.

He Xiaofan also believed it.

Fatty Wang and Zhang Kai are naturally looking forward to it.

At 6 p.m., it seems that life is about to usher in a turning point. Everyone is working hard and looking forward to the time coming soon.

Seeing that several people were still feeling emotional, Gu Chen touched He Xiaofan's shoulder and reminded, "It's time to serve."

"Oh, yes, yes, serve, serve, waiter." He Xiaofan shouted.

A waitress in an ancient uniform poked her head out from the door: "Hello."

"How long will it take for our food to arrive?" He Xiaofan said.

"Your food will be ready soon, please wait a moment, I'll rush you." The waitress' answer was very official.

So everyone ate snacks and talked about their respective contributions in the field.

The time soon came to 5:20.

At this moment, the dining table was already filled with various dishes, and everyone moved their chopsticks to enjoy the Jiangnan specialties.

And at this moment, Liao Fan's cell phone rang suddenly.

He put down his chopsticks and swiped the answer button: "Hello."

Gu Chen looked up at him, only to see that Liao Fan frowned slightly, and began to nod silently.

"That's right, I'm Liao Fan, yes, I know you, what?"

Maybe it was because he made too much noise when answering the phone, Liao Fan's surprise directly made the noisy private room quiet down suddenly.

Liao Fan looked at the crowd and continued in a low tone: "How could this be? Wasn't it fine before?"

Liao Fan seemed to be in some trouble, while the others looked at each other in blank dismay, guessing the various possibilities on the phone.

"What's the situation?"

"I don't know, maybe there is something wrong with Planner Liao's family?"

"A big guy in the industry, there are a lot of troubles in the first place. Could it be that there is something wrong with our contract?"

"Oh no?"

It was also under everyone's whispered guesses that Liao Fan finally explained his address, so he hung up the phone with two "hmm".

"What's the matter? Liao's plan? Is there something wrong with the contract?" Jiu Mei had an ominous premonition.

After all, it's so close to the company's final response time of 6 p.m. that it's hard not to think about it.

Liao Fan smiled lightly: "It's not about the contract, it's about some of my personal affairs, maybe I have to excuse myself for a while."

While speaking, Liao Fan had already started to collect things, as if he was in a hurry to go somewhere.
