I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 502.
It's not much of a stretch from the airport.

Liu Zhishi has been doing her hair.

It was hot in the car, and she was wearing a baseball cap just to make fun of it.

When I took off my hat, my hair was all in tatters.

And at the first intersection, when starting again, Li Minnian's car inevitably turned off again.

"..."

Now, Liu Zhishi was really speechless.

From there, his eyes had already moved to the biggest air conditioner fader, and fell on Li Minnian's face.

Li Minnian was also a little embarrassed.

Not that he did it on purpose.

It's just... Maybe it's because the weather is hot and the air conditioner is turned on. After the car idles at a high speed, it's really difficult to control.

"This... It's been a long time since I started the manual transmission, so I'm not familiar with it."

Hearing this, Liu Zhishi's eyes fell on the small advertisement post on the co-pilot again.

It was an advertisement for car rental in Shenzhou.

Not to mention any other slogans, she keenly noticed the address and phone number left below.

No. 4299, Jindu Road, MH District...

Isn't this the address of the company?
Is this car...

"rental?"

she asked.

"Uh……"

Li Minnian didn't respond.

And Liu Zhishi asked again:
"Didn't the company send a car?"

"Sent, it's just that I came to pick you up, so I didn't let them come over."

Is Li Minnian telling the truth?
Yes.

Tangren didn't give Team Zhang an artist itinerary yesterday, but only this morning.

Team Zhang did call Li Minnian and said he would come to pick him up.

Li Minnian was indeed at the airport, and he could take it back to Liu Zhishi without them picking him up.

Everything is true.

But the problem is... sometimes the truth is not necessarily the truth.

At least in Liu Zhishi's opinion, she doesn't believe the truth.

This car is rented, this point is not gone.

But why did Brother Li rent a car?
With this doubt, she asked the question just now.

But she didn't believe the answer she got.

If the company sent a car, why did Brother Li rent a car?
Can anyone explain this to me?
She seemed to understand something, and unconsciously put her hand on the air outlet of the air conditioner.

It's really not cool...

Feeling the cool wind, she suddenly said:

"I'm sorry, Brother Li, I'm the one who troubled you."

"Where is there... Is there any trouble or not? Haha, don't think too much."

Li Minnian said with a smile.

The tone is full of sunshine.

And Liu Zhishi didn't say much.

She just recalled the phone call yesterday.

Uncle Zhao's phone call was just made yesterday, did the present report come so soon today?
I haven't left yet...

Is the tea getting cold?
At least you have to find a replacement for me, right?
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled:
"Ah……"

He didn't even bother to ask why Li Minnian came before him.

After chuckling, she leaned back on the warm seat and stared at the road ahead in a daze.

Along the way, both of them were quite silent.

After arriving near the company silently, Li Minnian spoke:
"Put your luggage first? Take a rest, let's have lunch together at noon."

"Ah."

Liu Zhishi responded.

But when the car turned into her hangover after the last "Pandaren" finale, she opened the hourly hotel, Liu Zhishi was stunned again.

This is not the hotel the company cooperates with.

She thought for a while and asked:
"This hotel has also become a partner hotel?"

"Well, no."

Li Minnian shook his head:
"Isn't this hotel relatively close? It's hot, so we won't go there."

"……what."

Liu Zhishi was happy again.

At this time, she suddenly thought about one more thing.

Is it because I usually keep a low profile for too long?Make everyone think I'm poor?
Or is this also a type of so-called "punishment"?
I've just finished filming "Strange Man"... You shouldn't be in such a hurry to make up for my disgrace, right?

Just thinking about it, the car stopped.

After getting out of the car and pushing the luggage, Li Minnian handed her a room card:

"Here, hurry up and take a rest."

"Brother Li, why are you going?"

Seeing that Li Minnian didn't mean to get into the elevator together, Liu Zhishi asked.

Li Minnian pointed to the outside:
"I'm going to change the car. The air conditioner in this car is not cool at all."

"Well……"

Liu Zhishi thought for a while and said:
"Okay, then I'll go up there. Brother Li, call me after you change the car. Let's go buy a car."

"...???"

Li Minnian was taken aback.

"Buy a car?"

"Yes, buy a car."

Liu Zhishi nodded:

"Buy a trolley and put it here, it will be more convenient in the future."

"Don't don't."

Hearing this, Li Minnian subconsciously shook his head:

"Shishi, it's not impossible, there is a company car...today is a special situation."

But Liu Zhishi was very firm:

"It's okay, Brother Li."

"Oh, listen to me, it's not troublesome enough for you to buy a car. Let's not mention whether people have a car, where do you put it after you buy it? You can't park it on the side of the road, right? Besides, you don't come to Shanghai often, so there is no need. "

If these words were said normally, Liu Zhishi would definitely be persuaded.

but.

At this juncture...

Sorry, no.

"It's okay, Brother Li, you don't have to worry about it. You should hurry up and change to a car with better air conditioning. I'm going up~"

Liu Zhishi said, glanced at the number on the label of the room card, and walked directly into the hotel.

While waiting for the elevator, she thought about it and suddenly turned on her phone.

He hesitated for a second between the phone numbers of Yang Mi and Xu Xin, guessing that Mimi should be filming at the moment.

She dialed Xu Xin directly.

"Dudu...Hello?"

Xu Xin in the editing room saw the caller and connected the call directly.

"Shishi, what's the matter?"

"Xu Xin, are you busy now?"

"Well, I'm not busy, what's the matter? Tell me."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Say it."

"I want to buy a car in Modu, but I don't have a place to put my car here. Do you have any spare parking spaces in your house here?"

"Buy a car?"

Xu Xin really didn't react for a while.

"Correct."

"Well, it's not necessary, is it? You don't often stay in Shanghai."

He speaks from experience.

The last time I asked Li Hao to buy the A6, the battery was just changed two days ago.

A car that is driven once a month suffers from severe electricity losses.

But Liu Zhishi gave the same answer as Li Minnian:
"Always buy one ready."

"Then... okay. But I don't know how to operate the parking space. So, where are you now?"

"In the company."

"Okay, I'll make a call and ask someone to contact you. Mainly, I don't know exactly how many houses I have in Shanghai... I'll tell them, let them contact you, and you can put it wherever it is close. You don't have a car now?"

"Correct."

"Well... OK, I see. Leave this to me, and someone will contact you later."

"Yeah, okay, thank you."

"Hi, small matter. Send me the address~"

Xu Xin hung up the phone directly.

Then he dialed Li Hao's phone number:
"Hello, Brother Hao."

"Sanjin, what's the matter?"

"That's right. I have a friend, Liu Zhishi. Brother Hao, do you remember?"

"Remember, big star, haha~"

"Well, this is..."

After talking about the matter, Xu Xin continued:
"This girl is in Shanghai right now, and she doesn't even have a car, and she doesn't know what her company is doing. Brother Hao, please contact someone to pick her up."

"Oh, good... But it's necessary to buy a car? Why don't you ask someone to be her driver, and then come to Shanghai to pick her up later?"

"...It's okay, then you can watch it. I'm busy here, so don't worry about it."

"Oh good. You don't care, wow, let's do it."

"Hmm. I'll send you the phone address..."

Li Hao also hung up the phone.

Rubbed his chin.

Liu Zhishi... that's Sanjin and Mimi's good friends.

Ah, this woman is also very rough, she only remembered to buy a car when she didn't have a car...

Thinking of this, he looked at the number Xu Xin sent, and forwarded it directly to someone.

Then I got through to this guy:

"Eh? Long. Did you see it on the phone? This is Sanjin and Mimi's friend, the big star Liu Zhishi, do you know him?"

"Oh, as long as you know each other. Well... You can find a driver to drive, who is practical and thoughtful, and I will send you the address when I go."

"That's Sanjin and Mimidi's good friends."

"That's right, it's better to do things beautifully. People can go wherever they want... oh good."

After explaining the matter clearly to Ma Zai, Li Hao sent Xu Xin a message:
"It's done, let's go now."

Xu Xin replied with an "OK" message.

Then turn to Liu Zhishi.

Soon, she received a call:
"Hey?"

"Hi, sister, hello, my name is Zhou Yu, Brother Sanjin asked me to contact you, your address is..."

Listening to the address of the hotel, Liu Zhishi responded:
"Uh, yes."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be there in about 20 minutes."

"Okay... eh?"

Liu Zhishi was taken aback:
"Are you coming over?"

"That's right, Brother Sanjin asked me to come and pick you up directly."

"Uh, no... I asked Xu Xin to help me find a parking space..."

"Well, okay, when I get there, I'll just take you wherever you want to go."

"also."

Liu Zhishi thought about it, she and Li Minnian were indeed not very familiar with Demons, so she said:

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble, sister, please wait a moment."

Zhou Yu was still polite.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhishi sat in the cool room and began to pack her things.

And let's talk about Li Minnian.

He argued with the owner of the car rental company for about ten minutes. Because of the loss of oil and water, the boss said that it is okay to change the car, but insisted on asking him to fill up the oil.

Li Minnian just quarreled with him.

Your air conditioner is not working well, why should I fill it up?
This is a problem with your car.

The boss has a good reason too.

It's not that the air conditioner is not working well. It's too hot this day, and the air conditioner of a car with a small displacement is like this.

You put it in a cool place for up to 20 minutes, and the temperature in the car will definitely drop.

The high temperature orange warning has been issued these days, don't you know?

The two of them chattered like this for ten minutes, and Li Minnian was really impatient.

Forget it, leave the car.

There is a problem with this service attitude.

As for fuel consumption, is 50 yuan enough?
50 RMB?No, seventy.

You've driven almost [-] kilometers.

In the end, I pulled it back and forth and ended up with 60 yuan.

After completing the procedures for returning the car, he walked out of the rental car, just as a Rolls Royce that was shiny in the sun was also walking towards the hotel.

Li Minnian didn't care either, and planned to go to Liu Zhishi first, and tell her about Mr. Cai's visit to her this time.

The matter of buying a car... He really didn't think it was necessary.

Anyway, the company is across the road, and the focus this time is not to buy a car, but to let Shishi understand the company's attitude of people taking tea.

Just understand.

He understands the truth of overdoing it.

Then, he saw a young man in his early 30s getting out of the Rolls-Royce.

I also muttered in my heart...

It didn't look like his own car, but the driver.

After seeing the driver holding up a phone, he felt even more that he was right.

And just as he walked up the concierge desk and was about to enter the hotel, he heard the driver say:
"Ok, Sister Zhishi, I'm downstairs, you can see me when you come down."

"..."

Li Minnian paused.

Zhishi...sister?

Regardless of age...

Just say this name...

People named Zhishi... are there many?

Should... not many, right?

Could it be that besides Shishi, there happened to be another "Shishi" in this hotel?
He was speechless.

I wanted to ask... but I always felt that I was so presumptuous that people wouldn't tell me.

but……

He glanced at the Rolls Royce...

Then he looked at the buddy who should be a few years younger than him.

It's not about leaving for a while, and it's not about staying.

Then, his phone rang.

Liu Zhishi called.

"...Hello? Shishi."

Upon hearing his movements, Zhou Yu subconsciously looked over.

"Brother Li, are you back?"

"Uh... I'm back. It's in front of the hotel~"

"Ah? That's just right, you wait for me, I'll come down right away. Xu Xin has brought a friend over, let's go choose a car."

"...Shishi, there is really no need..."

"No, it's very necessary. Brother Li, wait for me at the door."

Liu Zhishi hung up the phone.

And Li Minnian and Zhou Yu looked at each other...

Zhou Yu took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Hello."

"Hey, hello."

Li Minnian responded and asked;

"Director Xu's friend?"

"Ah? ... Yes! You too?"

"Yes."

While agreeing, Li Minnian glanced at the Da Lao.

heart said...

It's really Director Xu's style of doing things.

Unpretentious.

Really knowledgeable.

……

Zhou Yu is a very competent driver.

Let's not talk about the title "Sister Shishi", his car is very stable.

And Liu Zhishi's goal is also very clear.

What business car?

alpha!
She had been in that car before, and it was very comfortable.

Although I heard others say that the premium and price increase are outrageous...

Not worth the money at all.

But she likes it.

And it is more than 300 kilometers to Hengdian, so it will be very convenient to run on both sides in the future.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Minnian didn't say any more.

Rolls-Royce led the two of them to a car market on Zhongchun Road.

Driving Da Lao to visit the Toyota store, this temperament must be right.

However, as a manager's instinct, Li Minnian still reminded Liu Zhishi not to get out of the car, he went to ask first.

To avoid spreading the news that "Liu Zhishi drives her luxurious Rolls-Royce to visit Toyota".

This kind of news about showing off wealth is easy to attract people's attention.

It is also easy to be rhythmic when it is spread.

Liu Zhishi also understands.

Zhou Yu also thoughtfully parked the car a little further away from the Toyota 4S store.

Then, Li Min left and returned within 15 minutes of reading.

Eyes full of absurdity.

"Shishi...don't think about this car."

"how?"

Liu Zhishi asked puzzledly.

Li Minnian pointed to the direction of Toyota:

"The price will increase by 20, and it will take at least half a year to pick up the car..."

"..."

Not to mention Liu Zhishi, even Zhou Yu was speechless.

But being speechless, Zhou Yu still said at the right time:

"Sister Shishi, Director Xu has specifically explained that if you need a car when you come to Shanghai in the future, you can just contact me directly. In fact, you don't need to buy a special car..."

Li Min said thoughtfully, "That's right, it will be "Family" soon."

But he didn't dare to show it.

And Liu Zhishi is not the kind of person who likes to trouble others.

But she really didn't want to be taken advantage of.

So, from Toyota to Mercedes-Benz, from Mercedes-Benz to Buick.

In fact, there are only a few types of commercial vehicles that come and go.

I will not mention the price increase, the most important thing is to wait.

In the end, Liu Zhishi still chose Mercedes-Benz.

And then... Oolong appeared.

Because she didn't go to see it, but stayed in the car and used the mobile phone software to look at the pictures of the car.

As for Li Minnian, he only came up to ask about the car and look at the car.

conveyed in the middle.

After confirming the Mercedes-Benz, when he paid the deposit instead of Liu Zhishi, he was asked whether the "personal indicator of the license plate number" had been obtained.

Li Minnian was dumbfounded.

Liu Zhishi was also dumbfounded.

Not to mention Zhou Yu.

Li Minnian and Liu Zhishi didn't know that buying a car in Shanghai requires lottery.

After all, Yanjing does not need to be shaken.

Although there have been more and more cars in the past two years, they are all talking about purchase restrictions in the future.But ordinary citizens are not sensitive to these things.

It never occurred to Zhou Yu that Xu Xin's friend didn't even have a license plate for... buying it in private hands, which means 4 to [-] yuan.

The three of them went around in circles, but they didn't even have an admission ticket.

It is equivalent to playing for nothing.

As for the advice given by the shopping guide later on, not to mention the second-hand car license plate, Liu Zhishi's mood obviously began to deteriorate.

Even in the face of Zhou Yu's solution of "call me anytime when you come to Shanghai in the future".

Her mood didn't improve at all.

I just feel that this trip to the magic capital is not smooth, and everything is extremely bad.

Anyway.

Going around all the way, after staying in the car market all afternoon, when Liu Zhishi returned to the hotel, she was quite disgraced.

Sorry to bother Zhou Yu, after the other party left, Li Minnian, who followed Liu Zhishi back to the room, looked at her obviously angry appearance, thought for a while, and persuaded:
"Shishi, it's okay...just go out shopping."

"……Um."

It doesn't matter because of my own confusion in my heart, or because of the sarcasm of that kind of person.

In short, the explosive barrel was already filled, and Liu Zhishi, who was only short of a match to detonate it, responded.

Then asked:

"Brother Li, why did you come here early this time? Why did Mr. Cai call me here?"

The question that I didn't want to ask in the morning, but was difficult to ask in front of Zhou Yu in the afternoon, was finally asked.

"Mr. Cai still wants you to act in the play "Gong Suo Xin Jade"... Let me come here early, just to persuade you today."

Speaking of this, Li Minnian paused before continuing:

"Shishi, although I already know your attitude, and I am firmly on your side. But after all, I am an employee of the company. I will definitely pass on the boss's request to you instead of rejecting it for you. And... This time, as far as I am concerned, I hope you will think about it..."

Before he finished speaking, when he saw Liu Zhishi's staring eyes, he quickly shook his head:
"I didn't mean to ask you to consider taking this drama...I know you won't take it. I said consider...meaning..."

He laughed a little self-deprecatingly:
"What should we do after we are hidden by the company. After all, Mr. Cai...has given me an ultimatum. And I...are ready."

"..."

Liu Zhishi's fists were clenched instantly.

Looking at Li Minnian's sad face.

Apart from clenching her fists, she never made any aggressive moves.

It's just that after he figured out why Li Minnian came here a day earlier than himself, and even roughly guessed what he and President Cai were talking about, there was only one emotion left in his heart.

Endless.

The endless disappointment.
