Chapter 180: Industry competition, Jiang Liu wants to take the blame

Jiang Liu and Son Ye-jin's shared villa is translated into Chinese as "One Person in the Middle".

Jiang Liu couldn't figure out why the name was so weird.

It is estimated that it is caused by South Korea changing Korean to Chinese and making random changes.

In the kitchen, Jiang Liu encouraged Sun Yizhen to change the name of the villa. Sun Yizhen thought about it but was not satisfied, so she asked Jiang Liu to name it.

Jiang Liu thought about it for a while and changed it to 'Xixi Huajian'.

Sun Yizhen didn't know why, so Jiang Liu tried to explain: "The word Xixi is taken from the poem "Xixi" by the great ancient Chinese poet Li Shangyin, 'It's good to be near Guo Xixi, who can share the wine pot'. These two lines create a very beautiful poetic meaning. breath."

"As for the 'Flower Room', it's because this villa has a garden. When summer comes, the garden will be filled with beautiful flowers."

"At night, you can see the colorful neon lights on the commercial street, as beautiful as flowers, from this villa."

Sun Yezhen didn't quite understand, but the two were passionately in love at the moment. Even if Jiang Liu changed his name to toilet, she wouldn't complain too much.

"Oppa, what are you doing, pancakes? Is the pot cooking a military pot? Why is there everything?"

"You haven't eaten it before. Today I want you to try the authentic Chinese food and Oppa's craftsmanship."

Jiang Liu turned his head and said proudly to Sun Yizhen who was hugging him behind him, and skillfully placed the thin cornmeal on the edge of the pot.

The child in his small county town has been able to cook since he was a child, and he also loves to eat. Cooking is one of his few hobbies, and he has a strong foundation in cooking.

But now there are very few people who can actually taste his craft.

In the capital, most of the time Li Xin can taste it, or only Han Sanping and Director Yu can taste it. In South Korea, only Son Ye-jin can taste it.

Simply putting six pieces of pot stickers on it, Jiang Liu covered the pot to increase the intensity of the fire, then moved to the other side and shoveled off the dumplings stuck to the bottom of the pot.

"Oppa, it smells so good!"

Jiang Liu smiled and took off his gloves and apron: "Dinner will be served in three minutes. Let's have some desserts first."

"what"

Caught off guard and being hugged, Sun Yezhen exclaimed at first, then jumped up slightly, wrapping her legs around Jiang Liu's bear waist, holding Jiang Liu's head and neck with her hands, and responded enthusiastically to Jiang Liu's kissing attack.

About to separate, the flame of love between the two is faster and more intense than the real flame brought by the gas in the kitchen.

But Jiang Liu was still calm and did not waste the carefully prepared lunch.

"Oppa, the dumplings are so delicious. They taste different from Korean ones."

"The pot stickers are also delicious, and even better when dipped in soup."

"There are also these, beef offal, chicken feet, lotus root slices." At the dinner table, even though Son Ye-jin was worried about eating too much and getting too fat, she still stretched out her chopsticks from time to time and sighed repeatedly.

"The seasonings are all in the kitchen. I'll teach you how to make them later. You can make them yourself in the future."

"But I don't want Oppa to leave." Son Ye-jin shook her body and started acting coquettishly.

Jiang Liu spread his hands and explained helplessly: "I will come to South Korea for promotion in half a year at the latest. Besides, Oppa Company has a lot of things to deal with."

He and Sun Yezhen had known each other for several months and had slept together dozens of times. Jiang Liu knew each other's views on mate selection very well.

Son Ye-jin's standards for finding a husband are generally the same as those of most women. A man's appearance can be a little different, but he must have a personal career.

If Jiang Liu gets tired of being with her every day, over time, she will look down on him and get bored easily.

Jiang Liu had a personal career and was working hard at it. On the contrary, she felt that she had found the right person, and she admired him more and more, and fell in love with him to the death.

This concept of mate selection is actually born out of the animal kingdom where the weak eat the strong and worship the strong.

After eating and wiping clean, Son Yejin took the initiative to get up and put away the pots and pans.

South Korea has a very serious culture of male superiority and female inferiority. It is no big deal for Jiang Liu to cook for her, which proves his love for her.

If Jiang Liu were to wash the dishes again, her parents would probably scold her to death if they found out. It didn't matter to Jiang Liu. He had been rebellious since he was a child and had always scorned the dregs of culture left over from the feudal era. Whether it was domestic or foreign, he just didn't like to talk about it.

After they finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, they took a bath and froliced ​​all the way from the bathtub to the bed.

"Brother, we finally returned to China. From the plane, the capital looks so run-down. It's not as new or prosperous as Seoul."

"It's different. Seoul is prosperous, but walking on various small streets is suffocating and depressing; the capital is a bit rundown, but it's quaint and grand."

"Brother, I asked for leave and went directly back to my hometown in Hubei Province after getting off the plane. I haven't been home for almost two years."

Jiang Liu nodded to Gao Damao: "Well, if you come back to work after the new year, I think you might as well exchange the 10 US dollars to buy an apartment in the capital. The house price will be cheaper."

"I heard that some places cost 7,000 to 8,000 square meters. Is this still cheap?" Gao Da Mao said in shock.

"I think it will rise again. It's up to you whether to buy or not."

"Yeah, I'll listen to my brother and look at the house after the new year. Anyway, I'll get free money."

The plane landed safely and after leaving the airport, Jiang Liu saw Li Xing wearing Northeastern cotton shoes.

"You go home first. I have to go to the company. There are many things that need to be dealt with urgently." Jiang Liu said cruelly, ignoring Li Xun's eyes that looked through Qiushui.

Now that he has returned to China, the two of them can sit down and have dinner together in the evening, and he will not leave again soon.

On the contrary, many things in the company are really urgent. Yixin has encountered a lot of troubles recently. If Hou Hongliang hadn't called him on the left or right to urge him, he would have stayed in South Korea for a few more days.

Li Xin nodded happily and said considerately: "Then you go quickly and I go home first?"

"Okay." Jiang Liu hurriedly walked away as he spoke, and finally boarded the minibus sent by Yixin to pick them up.

Seeing Hou Hongliang waiting in the car, Jiang Liu immediately asked: "What problems does the company have now?"

"When you think about it, the signs should have started in November. Initially, a boiler room and buried heating pipes that had just been built in Yixin were accused of violating regulations and were required to be demolished. Of course we are aware of the violations, but the larger factories in the entire capital , the company is breaking the rules, otherwise it would be impossible to work in winter.”

"So generally no one will report on purpose, but if they are reported, things will be very strange. Building a boiler room, laying pipes, coal, and fines will cost hundreds of thousands."

"Soon after, the employees living in the 798 Art Center reported that all the satellite dishes they had set up in the dormitory were ordered to be removed because they were reported."

"The two things happened one after another, and some of our senior officials felt something was wrong, but after all, the matter was not serious, so we didn't pay too much attention."

"However, I received another notice more than ten days ago. The feature film of "Sword of Sword" has not passed the review. Because the plot involves ghosts, the game adaptation cannot be broadcast on stars."

"Not only that, "Four Famous Catchers Meet the Capital" and "Detective Di Renjie" were both rejected due to the ancient restrictions. I have negotiated several times, and the answer is still the same."

Jiang Liu was surprised and said: "An ancient restriction?"

"Well, there is no official document. The gossip revealed by the bureau is that there are too many costume dramas on the market, and they need to be controlled a little. You started to implement it as soon as you went to South Korea."

Jiang Liu nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"There are also various minor frictions over at Nancheng No. 1, and the contestants of "Super Girl" have also been exposed to problems one after another."

Jiang Liu frowned and asked, "What do you senior executives think?"

"The lice on the bald man's head clearly shows competition in the industry, but I didn't expect the method to be so cunning."

"Who is it? Huayi, Hairun, Zhang Weiping's New Picture, Tangren? Cai Yinong doesn't have this ability, or is it from Hong Kong, Taiwan, or even a local station?"

"Anyone is possible. You don't need to worry about who it is. The most important problem at the moment is that the three costume dramas cannot fail to be screened, let alone be stars."

"Let's just talk about "Sword of Immortal". "Sword of Immortal" is not going to be a star. How much is the right price for such a big investment? Several local stations were obviously interested, but as soon as they heard the news that it would not be a star, they all backed down. Now a movie If the drama is not a star, which advertiser is willing to invest in advertising? Just based on the ratings of City Channel, the advertising revenue is too low."

Jiang Liu lowered his head and got out of the car and said, "It seems that some people think you are not worthy enough. Give me the expense reports for the three dramas. I will go to the General Administration in person tomorrow to complain."

"Isn't there an actor named Zhang Yu who was breaking the news some time ago? I won't let the three dramas get stars. I'm also looking for the media to break the news in the industry to see if some people dare to let me go."
