Chapter 246. 244. Poisonous Oleander
In the silent night, in the brightly lit study room, the tip of the pencil makes a rustling sound on the white paper.

Chen Li'an leaned over the desk and concentrated on drawing sketches. The pencil drew beautiful lines, forming a minimalist interior design drawing on the draft paper.

Chen Li'an's painting is the art space he conceived, and this project is finally about to start.

Wang Zuxian and Cheng Shufen have called to tell him that the property in Xiangjiang has been rectified, and they are waiting for Chen Li'an to go to Xiangjiang to start work.

In addition to drawing design drawings, Chen Li'an also has to meet young artists in Beijing in the studio these days, hoping to reach a cooperation with them and bring their works to Xiangjiang.

However, it would be very troublesome to carry out the specific work. Chen Li'an almost finished the work in half a year, and officially unveiled the art space when Xiangjiang returned in [-].

It can be regarded as celebrating the return of Xiangjiang.

The rustling sound of drawing in the room suddenly stopped. Chen Li'an saw that the tip of the pen was no longer sharp, and was just about to pick up the utility knife to sharpen the pencil when the phone rang.

Chen Li'an put down the pencil in his hand, took a look at the phone, raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed the answer button.

After Chen Li'an answered the phone, he gave a hello and didn't speak any more.

Yu Feihong on the other end of the phone was suddenly a little nervous after the call was connected, and she didn't know what to say.

There was only a faint noise from the receiver, which made the brief silence extraordinarily long. Yu Feihong held the phone in both hands and bit her lips lightly and said, "Are you there?"

"I'm here."

Chen Li'an's voice reached Yu Feihong's ears through the mobile phone, which made her feel extremely calm, and all the original tension disappeared at this moment.

"I'm going back to the United States the day after tomorrow." Yu Feihong finished speaking softly, quietly waiting for Chen Li'an's answer.

As if the two had known each other for many years, Chen Li'an didn't say anything else, and asked directly: "Where are you?"

"I'm at home." Yu Feihong replied quickly, and then gave her address.

"I'll be right there."

"I'm waiting for you."

Neither of them cared that it was past eleven o'clock in the morning, nor did they say what they were going to do when they met. It seemed that everything was finished in the short silence just now.

On the quiet street, the dim streetlights kept receding. Sitting in the taxi, Chen Li'an looked at his palms covered with pencil dust and smiled helplessly.

Because I was in a hurry to come out, I forgot to wash my hands.

As for why he was so anxious, Chen Li'an couldn't explain the reason clearly, it seemed that it was because Gao Yuanyuan was mad at him during the day, and he wanted to find a different kind of comfort.

The car soon arrived at Yu Feihong's house, in a community not far from Gongti, the location is not particularly good, but the environment of the community is very good.

Chen Li'an came downstairs to Yu Feihong's house according to the signs in the community, looked up at the lit balcony on the third floor, and saw Yu Feihong on the balcony.

Chen Li'an smiled at Yu Feihong in the light downstairs of the unit, just like the ghost male protagonist standing under the ginkgo tree smiling at the female protagonist who has forgotten himself in the novel.

Seeing Chen Li'an's smile clearly, Yu Feihong's calm heart suddenly beat faster, and only after Chen Li'an's figure disappeared in the unit door did she come back to her senses.

On the spacious balcony, there is a small table with a vase on it, with two fresh oleanders inserted in it.

Yu Feihong looked at the two gorgeous oleanders that were tangled together, took a deep breath and walked towards the living room.

When she walked to the door and opened the door, Chen Li'an just walked outside.

The moment the eyes of the two collided, they never separated again, just like two oleanders in a vase on the balcony.

The flower language of oleander is very interesting, representing false beauty, and the beautiful pink flowers contain poison, representing romantic illusion.

The relationship between Chen Li'an and Yu Feihong is like oleander. The illusory emotions derived from the novel are about to taste the poison contained in each other at this moment.

When Chen Li'an walked into the room and the door was closed, the room was so quiet that only the hot breathing of two people could be heard.

There was no need to speak all the words, the two embraced each other with a tacit understanding, looked into each other's eyes full of desire, and kissed passionately.

The overhead light on the ceiling exuded a soft light, and the shadows of the two fell on the ground and entangled together, and soon they were indistinguishable from each other.

Yu Feihong's shadow fell on the wall, with a slender and sexy outline, forming a perfect curve, like a drawn bow.

A pair of white hands grasped the edge of the sofa, the long black silk hair hung down and swayed back and forth, and the melodious cry was like a romantic serenade.

Accompanied by the dull slapping sound, a unique rhythm is formed.

After an unknown amount of time, a little red foot fell from the sofa to the ground, with the toes slightly curled up as if enjoying the pleasure after the peak.

Chen Li'an tied up Yu Feihong's long hair, exposing her beautiful earlobes, and raised his hand to gently wipe the sweat on her neck.

Yu Feihong lay on Chen Li'an's body, looking at the pencil mark on her chest with blurred eyes, couldn't help but hummed slightly, and opened her red lips to bite the skin on his collarbone.

The slight pain on the collarbone made Chen Li'an couldn't help but pat Yu Feihong lightly, making a crisp sound.

Yu Feihong raised her head to look at Chen Li'an, and sat up with her hands on his body.

The little hand grasped lightly under the waist, and then lay down again, letting out a satisfied sigh
The romantic and passionate night has not yet passed, and the serenade sounded again in the quiet summer night.

It's just that this time it was more intense, and the intensive drumbeats brought Yu Feihong a soul-deep impact again and again.

I don’t know how long it took, one oleander on the balcony lost all its moisture, and was quietly inserted on another oleander, losing all its vitality, while the stamen of another pink oleander was covered with dew, fresh and gorgeous.

When the sky was slightly bright, Chen Li'an left Yu Feihong's house in the twilight of the morning.

Yu Feihong lay on the bed and wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway. Her body was very tired but her spirit was very excited. She was a little fascinated by the experience and feelings of last night.

I even had a bold idea in my heart, but when I thought of my unfinished studies, I calmed down instantly.

Yu Feihong, who couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, looked at the Ginkgo Ginkgo book by the bedside, and couldn't help flipping through it in his hand.

The few tens of thousands of words fascinated Yu Feihong, and the few days she met Chen Li'an was like a novel reflected in reality.

It's just that Yu Feihong didn't think it was enough. She suddenly wanted to bring the novel into reality.

Yu Feihong closed the book and put it on her chest, looked at the ceiling and murmured: "Maybe it can be made into a movie."

If Chen Li'an knew Yu Feihong's thoughts, he would definitely persuade her to do it as soon as possible, otherwise no one would watch it after waiting more than ten years to make it into a movie.

There was still a market for movies like this in the 90s, but no one would like to watch them ten years later.

Moreover, the censorship system in the 90s is relatively less stringent. As long as it does not involve some sensitive topics like the sixth generation directors, the movie can be well promoted after it is released.

Of course, all of this depends on Yu Feihong's thoughts, Chen Li'an has no time to care about whether she wants to make a movie or not.

The TV series I invested in hasn't been finalized yet, and Zhang Guoli hasn't even called me to tell me what to do next.

Li Dabai also called, saying that the film crew was running out of money, and if there was any follow-up funds coming in, the filming would stop for a week at most.

After returning home at eight o'clock, Chen Li'an came to the company, took a shower and changed clothes. As soon as he entered Chen Meiren's office, he saw a woman sitting opposite her.

Chen Li'an took a closer look and recognized this woman as Deng Jie. He nodded at her and sat down, then glanced at Chen Meiren and asked, "Are you talking about Kangxi?"

The moment Deng Jie saw Chen Li'an, she had a bad feeling that the things she wanted to invest in today might be in vain.

Chen Meiren nodded her head and said, "Yes, Deng Jie came here to talk about this matter, and you came here before I said anything."

After explaining to Chen Li'an, Chen Meiren looked at Deng Jie and asked, "Go ahead and talk about what the crew is going to do."

Deng Jie glanced at Chen Li'an, hesitated for a while, and then said the plan they had discussed.

"The crew's funds are running out. Even if we speed up the filming progress later, we still need at least 50 million funds."

Deng Jie originally wanted to say 60, but because of Chen Li'an's presence, she subconsciously said [-] less, so that this amount would not arouse Chen Li'an's resentment.

After hearing Deng Jie's words, Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren looked at each other. They didn't mention why the production crew had no money, but there was no way to put corruption on the table.

Chen Meiren thought about it for a while, and noticed that Chen Li'an shook her head slightly, before she took the initiative to say, "Do you want us to continue investing?"

"Yes." Deng Jie nodded slightly and looked at Chen Meiren and said: "The filming is almost over now, and there is only such a small amount of money. If all previous efforts are wasted, the previous investment and hard work will be in vain."

Hearing Deng Jie's words, Chen Meiren's heart was also shaken. If the millions invested in the past were in vain, she would be so distressed that she would not be able to sleep for a few days.

Now it's the end of the filming, and the filming can be finished with an additional investment of 50, which really makes Chen Meili very excited.

Chen Li'an looked at Chen Meiren's wavering eyes and was about to speak when he was preempted by the keen Deng Jie.

Deng Jie looked at Chen Meiren and said seriously: "Not only the several million investment in the early stage was wasted, but also the profit from the sale after the auction is gone. It will directly lose 2000 million every time."

Originally, 600 million made Chen Meiren a little shaken, but now it has become 2000 million, and I am even more anxious. This is my son's milk powder money!

Just when Chen Meiren was about to speak, Chen Li'an coughed and interrupted her.

Chen Meiren immediately turned to look at Chen Li'an, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Deng Jie also looked at Chen Li'an, her heart became tense, she didn't know what was going on, although she was several years older than Chen Li'an, yet somehow she felt the pressure on him.

Chen Li'an cleared his throat, looked at Deng Jie and said, "The first contract signed was an investment of 600 million yuan. The problem of not having enough money now is your fault. You need to solve this problem yourself."

"The company will not continue to chase after investment. It will finish the filming if it can be finished, and it will be drawn if it is not finished. I don't care about millions of dollars, but I don't like people who don't follow the contract, and I don't like people who are incompetent. Who knows if there will be another 50 after investing 50 yuan."

What Chen Li'an said was not so direct. After all, Deng Jie was a woman, so he wouldn't get angry with a woman. If Zhang Guoli came today, Chen Li'an would definitely embarrass him.

But he was still angry, how dare he let his wife ask for money!

If Chen Li'an had no morals, maybe Deng Jie would go back!
You have to invest hundreds of millions in shares!

Chen Meiren, who originally wanted to agree, hesitated when she heard Chen Li'an's words, but when she saw that he was about to say something, she heard Chen Li'an speak again.

"If Kangxi dies young, I will lose a few million at most. It is not a big deal for us, but it is different for your husband. You have been in the capital for several years to develop. It must be very difficult. Let's do it and cherish it."

Chen Li'an stood up and said to Chen Meiren, "Isn't there a commercial to shoot today? Let's go and have a look."

After Chen Meiren knew what Chen Li'an was thinking, she stopped being entangled. She stood up and said to Deng Jie, "I'll listen to my husband about this matter. You can go back and figure out a solution with your husband."

After Chen Meiren and Chen Li'an went out, Deng Jie sat in the office stupidly, and couldn't help sighing. What Chen Meiren said last made her feel very ashamed.

Why is there such a big gap between husband and wife!It doesn't matter if you don't look good, it doesn't matter if you are older, if you don't have money!

Not even 50!You have to ask for money yourself!Deng Jie gets angry just thinking about it!
Outside the office, Chen Meiren held Chen Li'an's arm and asked, "I really don't want to chase after the investment, 50 is not much, and I can make a lot of money after the filming is over."

"It's not about money. You can't be taken advantage of." Chen Li'an looked at Chen Meiren and said, "Money is not the most important thing in this world, but also the easiest thing to get. Don't worry about it."

"It's easy for you to say, so much money." Chen Meiren muttered, feeling very distressed that so much money would be wasted.

Chen Li'an said helplessly: "If I give this money, believe it or not, they will die laughing behind their backs. I would rather lose money than become a joke."

Hearing what Chen Li'an said, Chen Meiren thought about it, and it seems that it is really possible, so it seems that she really can't pursue the investment.

Money is not as important as her husband's face!
Wanting to understand, Chen Meiren put her arms around Chen Li'an's arm and said with a smile: "I see, it's just a few million, so how can your husband's face be important!"

Hearing Chen Meiren call her husband, Chen Li'an felt a little helpless. It was fine to call it out at home, but she also called it out in front of Deng Jie just now. If it got out, how could he make good friends in the future!

Deng Jie in the office knew that it was hopeless to ask for money this time, so she sighed and took her bag and left.

I was lucky today, at least I didn't get pointed and scolded by others, Deng Jie was still a little grateful for Chen Li'an's demeanor.

However, Deng Jie is still angry with Zhang Guoli. When you get money, you stand out, and when you ask for money, let yourself stand out. How can you be such a husband!
But husband and wife are one body, the anger in Deng Jie's heart came and went quickly, and finally all became angry with Zhang Zien.

After being greedy for so much money, I am willing to spit out 10 yuan!Otherwise, there's no need for her to lick her face and ask for money!

The more Deng Jie thought about it, the angrier she became, she picked up the phone and called Zhang Guoli back.

"The money didn't come! Chen Li'an said it was a big deal and the TV series was aborted. You tell Zhang Zien that he must take out the greedy money now, or the hard work of the two of us in the past few years will be in vain again!"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Deng Jie hung up the phone, and took a taxi that had just stopped at the company's gate with her bag on her shoulders.

Gao Yuanyuan, who got off the co-pilot, turned her head and glanced at Deng Jie, and happily ran towards the company without paying attention.

Today, I still have to pester Chen Li'an to teach myself a lesson!Disobedient students should slap their palms!

I hope Teacher Chen can be stricter!
I just don't know if Chen Meiren came to the company today, and if she came, would she be called Mr. Chen or Shi Niang.

It's so exciting to think about it!
