The leisurely life of rebirth

How do you say this dish?

What do you say when Lao Hu serves food?

This taste may not be suitable for everyone.
Anyway, Zhou You's food is average and sweet, so for Zhou You, one or two dishes per table is enough.

There wasn’t much to eat for dessert after the meal.

Such private chefs also know that there are many different sub-branches among the eight major cuisines, which are all based on the tastes of various places.

There are places all over Shanghai, so just making one flavor will definitely not make it big.

Therefore, this place specializes in Shanghai cuisine.

However, there are still many other dishes to satisfy the tastes of different people.

Full of wine and food.

Sun Caixia has successfully accessed Deng Chao's WeChat account, so she can keep track of any future activities.

There is a lot more to talk about with the sisters.

And while eating, I also discovered that Zhou You's status in the entertainment industry is really not low, and he should be considered an investment boss.

Tsk tsk, envious.

But think about it, if you are not an investment tycoon, you may appear to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact you are just a shield.

Yang Mi did not follow this time, and has been busy with the scripts arranged by Youyou and training the new Hengdian actors.

I am also planning to gradually transform from now on and no longer be active in front of the screen.

However, Liu Yan followed, running around without feeling tired and very dedicated.

When it was almost over, I found an opportunity to talk to Zhou You: "Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your style is still the same."

Zhou You looked down and said with a smile: "You too, it's still the same!"

"Oops, Mr. Zhou is joking again. I have always paid attention to my figure." Liu Yan didn't care what Zhou You said. Instead, she respected Zhou You a little, thinking that he was a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

We don’t torment people or play with their dignity.

Anything you and I wish to do can be regarded as a good example.

Seeing that Zhou You was a good conversationalist, he continued: "Mr. Zhou, a friend of mine is planning to make a movie, and he asked me to help him, are you interested?"

"Oh, what kind of friend, what kind of subject matter." Zhou You asked casually.

"A friend from the Northeast is called Dapeng. Have you heard of him?" Liu Yan also wanted to help him, in case he invested.

Zhou You almost forgot about it, patted the chair and asked Liu Yan to sit down: "Is it the one that took the picture of the man fishing?"

"Yes." Liu Yan was a little excited and asked herself to sit down. That proved to be very promising.

"The short drama was really well done. I've also watched a few episodes of The Master of Bathing." Zhou You smiled. He had seen it. Of course he had. He didn't have the guts to go before, so why not just watch it at home.

"Mr. Zhou actually watched it. I also played a lot of cameos in it. How was the performance?" Liu Yan's eyes widened and she looked at Zhou You expectantly.

"Forgot, just remember to wash your feet, haha." Zhou You said honestly.

When the two of them were chatting, even though other people were talking, they were basically very quiet, or they went out to look at the scenery in the yard. Li Houliang stood nearby, not because he was afraid of danger.

It's about traveling around and talking about things without being disturbed.

"Mr. Zhou is so annoying. I will wash your feet next time. In this movie, I am also one of the protagonists, so do you think?" Liu Yan looked at Zhou You, her face revealing eager expectations, not only because of Da Peng , also because of myself.

It's really hard to be a leading actress. Now if you want to have a movie in which you are the heroine, you must be able to do something.

But, to be honest, I didn’t have high expectations.

I don’t have that much face yet, or in other words, I don’t have that much value yet.

"In this case, you ask Da Peng to find Yang Mi, and I will tell Yang Mi that if the script is good, I will cast it." Zhou You was actually planning to cast it.

This movie has a pretty good reputation, at least better than Lao Deng's, and it seems to have more box office than Lao Deng.

The investment is not big either.

Yang Mi was a little confused. She tilted her upper body slightly and came closer: "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by going to Yang Mi?"

"Oh, sometimes I don't have enough time, so I will entrust Yang Mi to help me collect materials, and then make some investments through her. It saves me the time to come forward. I am a university teacher, and I always appear in the entertainment industry, which has a bad influence. "

Traveling around is no longer real and is just a way to deceive people.

Liu Yan glanced resentfully, and then she understood Zhou Youlai's original intention, and also knew why Yang Mi had insisted on inviting Zhou Youlai.

"If I hadn't already signed the contract, I would have wanted to hang out with Mr. Zhou." Liu Yan couldn't help but hold Zhou You's hand.

Zhou You coughed and coughed several times.

Madhu, who usually has a wink, why is he so colorless now? Didn't he see that he brought a female companion when he came?

Fortunately, Xiaobai and Sister Sun were chatting outside and didn't see what was going on here.

Liu Yan also reacted, blushing and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Hey, they are all people from Vanity Fair.

There is no such thing as an eternal myth.

Zhou You doesn't want to get involved too deeply, otherwise it won't end well, so it's good to just talk about it and don't have too deep feelings.

In fact, everyone is not stupid.

Liu Yan already understood what Zhou You meant and could only sigh that Yang Mi was lucky.

But he became happy immediately. Zhou You didn't directly refuse, but basically agreed, depending on the amount of investment.

"Then I'll thank Mr. Zhou in advance. I'll invite you to visit the class and I'll wash your feet myself." Liu Yan said excitedly. This is great news.

Having funds is one thing, but more importantly, having Zhou You participate in it, everyone’s energy and spirit are different.

Not to mention full of confidence, it also has a goal, right?

"Okay, that's it, let me embody the feeling of a foot bath shop boss." Zhou You laughed. He really hasn't experienced it a few times, especially the special services.

Leave after chatting.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave after waiting. There's no place to go to the toilet here, and the venue is too small to use.

Liu Yan still wanted to struggle, and held Zhou You's hand under the table, not wanting to let go.

Li Houliang also stood quietly at the door.

There is no one else in the room now.

After looking around for a while, I finally thought it was not possible: "I'm not familiar with this place. I'm sure there are cameras. I'll visit the class in the future. Don't worry."

Let’s appease the person first and then talk.

Hearing this, Liu Yan also calmed down.

I don’t know what’s going on with me, why I can’t control myself when I encounter Zhou You.

Travel around and get away.

Deng Chao and the others will continue to go on road shows. According to the route arrangement, some will still run.

At least 2 months.

Sister Sun is not without merit. Today's meal costs almost 5 yuan, and it's because the group didn't drink.

This price is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Just for the rich.

It's well hidden, so it's okay to visit once in a while and experience it.

Zhou You went home satisfied, and began to dream about what his bookstore would look like in his sleep.A person has no ideas of his own.

Then your head will become someone else's racecourse.

It is filled with other people’s theories, words, and famous sayings.

Slowly he was disciplined into a thoughtless person.

People must learn to think.

So does doing things.

When you get to the point of traveling, you can start trying your own style, your own experiments, your own ideas.

"Manager Wang, do you think it would be okay for me to build a Sunshine Bookstore?" Zhou You expressed his thoughts to the new manager Wang.

Manager Wang is about 40 years old, and her real name is Wang Yumei. She is a middle-aged literary young woman. She used to work in a publishing house, but later she felt too tired and decided to open a small bookstore on her own.

At the beginning, I could barely maintain it, but later on, there was no end to it.

The rent payment is really unsustainable.

In order to realize her dream, Wang Yumei spent hundreds of thousands and wasted several years of good time.

Regret?
I have no regrets. I have had the opportunity to pursue my dreams in this life, and I even realized them briefly. I have no regrets.

Much better than the public.

Ordinary people have no dreams. Even if they have dreams, they will never have the chance to try them in their lifetime.

The most important thing that Wang Yumei can try is that neither she nor her husband have children, so they have the time, energy, and money to pay for their dreams.

Since the bookstore closed, I have been resting at home, not knowing what else I can do.

Bookstores are closing down, and publishing houses are struggling to survive.

When I reach middle age, I can almost declare myself unemployed, and then I can slowly take care of myself.

Anyway, my husband’s income is not bad and there is not much pressure.

Who would have thought that I would be in Shanghai when I received a call from Yu Hua? Isn't it a coincidence that I came here smoothly?

According to what Yu Hua said: "You are very lucky. Mr. Zhou is not short of money. He doesn't expect to make any money by opening this bookstore. He is also a very generous person. Go and have a look and do your best if you can."

The two have known each other for a long time. At that time, one was a small editor and the other was a big author. Although there was a slight age gap, they became close friends.

Therefore, when Yu Hua received a call from Zhou You, he immediately thought of her.

"Mr. Zhou, of course it is possible. According to the lighting time in Shanghai, it can be made into three sides of glass, so that except in summer, you can basically read in the sunshine." Wang Yumei agreed with Zhou You's idea, because she thought so too.

"Our front is relatively independent. It's not mentioned on the property certificate, but I heard from Sister Sun that it can be used. In the spring and autumn, we can also build a few sheds outside without making any noise or noise." Zhou You Looking at it from the outside, it would be a bit of a waste not to use such a large venue.

"Brother Yun, why hasn't the designer you called for arrived yet?" Zhou You kept talking here about how to decorate later if the designer doesn't come.

Zhao Yun looked at the scorching sun in the sky and thought about the air conditioner in the office.

Why did I just plunge into this pit?

"Come right away, don't worry, there's a traffic jam on the road." This is a universal excuse, especially in Shanghai.

The surrounding shops are all small shops, small hardware and other industries.

This is probably the only unit that can survive.

The traffic era will soon come, and traffic will bring benefits. Youyou can build this bookstore into an Internet celebrity bookstore, and then it will be directly supported by Douyin traffic.

But this is not yet in line with my ideas.

By then, people will be filming videos every day, which will definitely disturb normal reading and reading.

But relying on yourself for blood transfusions all the time is not a long-term solution.
I just hope that I won’t lose money by then.

The designer arrived late and kept saying sorry to Zhao Yun: "I'm really sorry, it's really hard to find here. I'd better drive here. I'll take a taxi next time."

This sentence made Zhou You realize the advantages and disadvantages of a remote location.

Traffic is definitely needed, but it still needs to be controlled.

"It's okay, come on, come here to listen to ideas, and then go back to design." Zhao Yun pulled the designer to Zhou You's side.

You can't make the decision yourself anyway.

Zhou You did his part, and the designer expressed his final concept: "The overall design of this bookstore highlights one leisure and one comfort. For the rest, you can ask store manager Wang and Zhao Yun."

That's it.

Although the designer has seen a lot, he is still a bit confused.

This list is not small, especially it also includes the decoration of another house.

I knew that big customers were difficult to serve, but I didn’t expect them to be so difficult to serve.

Randomly looking at the remaining people.

The others smiled and said nothing, it didn't matter, anyway, in the end the design company paid the bill, and that was the money they earned.

"Mr. Zhou, what kind of books should we focus on here?" Manager Wang has consciously put himself into his identity role.

This tour has been planned for a long time.

At present, everyone is looking forward and toward money.

The pace is getting faster and faster, and I can't wait to seize the day.

The body has been separated from the soul.

The soul has nowhere to rest.

Only classics can save the soul of modern people.

Those fast food literature and chicken soup literature can no longer keep up with people's desire for the essence of life.

There are also philosophy books, introductory, popular science, and classics, which are all the focus.

It is necessary to buy all the classics of Chinese studies, and the interpretations of each school, even those that are opposite or very different, must not only speak one voice.

There are also psychology-related books that allow people to understand the most basic inner psychology, know what is normal and what may cause problems, and be prepared in advance.

“We don’t sell books on economics, chicken soup, petty bourgeoisie, and politics. Things that have no nutritional value are simply a waste of readers’ time. Our main focus is on classics, philosophy, and psychology. Our main focus is to save the souls of modern people. "

Zhou You hopes that doing so will be useful.

"Okay, I hope so too. People in today's society are so impetuous that they have forgotten what they should do as a human being." Manager Wang agreed.

"Yes, it's great that we can live in this era. We have the opportunity to see the world. In the past, only disciples of senior executives and powerful people could go abroad and travel to the beautiful mountains and rivers."

"Modern people, even if they are traveling on a budget, can appreciate these things. However, our eyes are blinded by interests, and our minds are filled only with money."

"It is not enough to earn money, and it is also very difficult to earn. When you can meet the basic conditions, you must make appropriate adjustments to your heart."

"Life is short, so it is a blessing to have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the world."

There is a certain truth in talking to oneself when traveling around.

But the designer is definitely not convinced.

Because the joy of traveling is based on his pain.

There are only a few people who can really see things openly, and there are also a few people who dare to break away from the barriers of the world.

Everyone is a layman.

As long as you are not just obsessed with making money, while working hard,
I also hope to give myself some small rewards. (End of chapter)
