I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 197: 195. Drink tea first

Chapter 197 195. Drink tea first

“…exciting.”

These are the first words that Yang Mi uttered when she just finished her bath and looked at the night view of Victoria Harbor outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Watching the original work of "The Sound of the Wind" on the bed, with a notebook full of handwriting beside it, Xu Xin, who seems to be busy at work, raised his head suspiciously:

"What?"

"I will come here once in a while!"

"...?"

Seeing my girlfriend pointing at the window, although I knew it was a privacy glass, I couldn't see the inside from the outside. But Xu Xin was still feeling uncomfortable...

If he stands over there, he will always have the illusion that the glass will suddenly break and he will fall down.

Not particularly scared, but uncomfortable.

…

Immediately rolled his eyes:

"are you crazy?"

Who knows, Yang Mi seems to have noticed something, and said straightforwardly:

"You do not dare?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Xu Xin began to speak hard.

"Come on then~... Well, it's only 11 o'clock, we should be fine if we go down at 12 o'clock, right?"

"Uh... I have to work on the script, and I finally took a few days off to change my mind with the script."

“…hum.”

The girl sneered, but she didn't expose her boyfriend's stubborn appearance.

Not to mention cute, it will be useful later.

Untied the towel on his own, and sat on him who was lying on the bed reading a book.

"Have I gained weight?"

"No. Still the same."

Looking at the book, he replied without thinking.

Seeing that he was indeed working, Yang Mi began to use the back of her soft hand to press his hip bones, including the leg muscles, to help him relax.

Then he said as usual:

"Recently, I want to slow down my fitness. When I went to shoot a print advertisement for the VS platform, because I had to wear a character costume, I got an armor that looked like a Valkyrie, and I was carrying a big sword... Well, look at it now Look, it seems to be modeled after the "Big Sword" comics. I knew I dyed bright yellow hair to cosplay the smiling Denisa..."

She said, Xu Xin only listened with one ear and sniffed with the other.

After a paragraph of time, he put down the book and recorded a line of words in the notebook.

It seems that there is a bit of a scumbag spirit of "the girlfriend is so beautiful and not playing with the girlfriend, but playing games".

Yang Mi didn't care, and continued to help him relax his muscles, and then continued:

"It turned out that the size of the clothes issued by the company did not match my current figure. I seemed to have developed a second time... I was in pain when I wore them. Then after taking this group of endorsement photos from Guangzhou, I went to Shanghai. Going to order cheongsams, to be honest, there are still more old tailors left over from Shili Yangchang in Shanghai than in Yanjing, and they are all Suzhou embroidery craftsmanship, which is great."

"..."

"As a result, after I ordered it, the auntie gave me a measurement and told me, girl, your figure is not suitable for wearing a cheongsam. I wondered, and I wondered why? How beautiful is the cheongsam? Guess what they told me?...People told me that cheongsam is a kind of graceful beauty. The figure can be good, but not too exaggerated. Otherwise, the shape of the cheongsam is doomed to hide its special Too much flesh, if my figure continues to practice like this, it will be easy to wear a cheongsam as **** underwear, and it will not be that graceful and beautiful."

Xu Xin still hasn't paid attention to her.

But still gave a response.

Yang Mi laughed happily after seeing it.

Continue to babble there:

"Then I don't believe it. Aren't those aunts and concubines in my impression all protruding and curvy, seductive? This is my definition of cheongsam. Then the aunt saw me talking about aunts and found me in the shop. I don’t know if I don’t wear it, but when I put it on, it’s true, one set is the standard coquettish concubine, you know? You just want to put it under your body when you look at it. Then change to the other When I put it on, the aunt helped me tie my chest, and the shape of it was also loose. I can immediately understand the beauty of that kind of Jiangnan girl..."

I don't know when I have put down the book in my hand.

Xu Xin looked at his condescending girlfriend and asked:

"so?"

"So... haven't you noticed that my figure is like a pear now, and my flesh is too porcelain, understand? It doesn't look good in a cheongsam. I think Gu Xiaomeng's image should be that kind of rich lady, On the surface, she looks like she likes to play, likes to make trouble, and has a domineering temperament...so she must not be too fat, too enchanting, and she must not have that special coquettish temperament on her body, what do you think?"

After talking for a long time, after finally saying what she wanted to express, Yang Mi shook her head:

"But in fact, she is a spy under Boss Dai, the kind who has been trained. She also needs to have a calmness under the surface of the arrogant and domineering young lady. And this kind of calmness cannot have particularly coquettish virtues." Otherwise, if I lie down on the sofa, everyone will look here..."

She made a lifting motion, looked at her boyfriend's straight gaze, and simply rolled her eyes:

"Look, what I said... If everyone is like you, they will ignore the inner nature of this character. Right? So after a while, I will start to lose weight..."

"...Still skinny? You're not fat either."

A one-foot-seven waist, a flat belly... This sister's flesh has really grown to where it should be.

Not exaggerating at all.

"...how did you say that from the mouth of a professional director like you?"

Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry.

"This time it's not the director, it's the coin."

"One dollar?"

The girl raised her eyebrows.

"All right, all right, my young master wants to be a one-dollar coin, so let's do it... Well, but when will your script be finished? Give it to me quickly, I have to make preparations."

"Several screenwriters from West Film Studio are already working on it. I'm just designing characters now. Don't worry. I'll bring you an Oscar winner for this movie."

"..."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

Looked condescendingly at Xu Xin, then nodded suddenly:

"Have to admit..."

"What?"

"All rich men boast that they are so handsome."

"I'm not bragging, you're bragging."

"...how did I brag?"

"No, I want you to brag!"

"...??"

Yang Mi blinked in puzzlement... After reacting for a while, her eyes suddenly filled with disgust:

"Hey~~~~~ You are really... just say it straight, why are you beating around the bush. If I hadn't just returned from filming in the Northeast, I might really not understand it."

Too connotative.

…

When the two families ate their first meal at noon, there were actually more or less raw ingredients in it.

Fortunately, there are Xu Xin and Yang Mi who mediate from it, as well as the experience of dealing with business, so the score belongs to the score, but it is not embarrassing.

It’s nothing more than talking about the situation in their respective families and chatting.

Including Xu Xin's childhood and Yang Mi's childhood.

Xu Daqiang is actually very talkative. After years of ups and downs in the business world, he has long cultivated the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense.

But in front of Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling, this talkative man is like an honest person, he has long lost his smoothness, but anyone can hear the sincerity in his words.

Where there is food, there must be wine.

No wine, no feast.

I know from my son that Yang Dalin likes to drink Moutai, and this meal is served with Moutai.

But only four people drink.

Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao, and Yang Dalin and his wife.

Zhang Qianqian, Xu Xin, and Yang Mi didn't drink a single drop.

Use the strength of alcohol to talk and eliminate barriers.

Yang Dalin's drinking capacity is not bad, not too much, not too little. Xu Daqiang was actually like that, and the two of them didn't drink in a very commercial way, but in a way of pushing wine around through words. Talk too much, drink more. Talk less and take a sip.

In just one meal, Yang Dalin knew how mischievous Xu Xin was since he was a child.

Xu Daqiang also knows why the little girl Mimi is so rare.

This first meal, both parties are actually getting to know each other, so the four of them drank a little more than one bottle.

Never mention anything like "how about the two children", and there is no such thing as "your child will marry, and my child will marry your child".

There is no such thing as "how much money our family has, how much savings, to ensure that the two children have no worries about food and clothing".

Never mention it.

The two are about the same age, and most of the things they talk about are actually the differences between Yanjing City and the rural areas in northern Shaanxi when they were young.

and Yang Dalin have handled it, or some hearsay about a major or important case that shocked the country at that time.

Not to mention... Maybe it's because of the sense of age.

It was a pleasant chat.

I just feel a little uncomfortable eating.

What is seafood again, it’s too delicate.

At the end of the meal, Xu Daqiang, who had not had enough to drink, asked the waiter for a bowl of Yangchun noodles, mixed with a lot of vinegar, so he was full.

This very traditional ending of the wine game made Yang Dalin couldn't help laughing out:

"When will Brother Xu come to Yanjing and eat at home, the noodles mixed with vinegar are not as good as vinegar boiled. I will be in charge at that time, and we will have another drink... This place is not a place for drinking."

In a word, Xu Daqiang felt at ease.

It’s okay, no one is dissatisfied with us.

Also invited to the house.

It just means that I don’t object to the matter of the two children...

He was really at ease in his heart.

But...he didn't forget to glance at his second son meaningfully.

Always paying attention to his father's movements, Xu Xin, who was serving as the waiter for adding wine and vegetables to this table, nodded knowingly.

…

The dinner is over, and the old guys go back to take a nap.

Then wait until three or four o'clock, everyone gets up and goes to the custom-made shoe place that Yang Mi mentioned.

Xu Miao's drinking capacity is so-so. In addition, he has always disliked drinking Moutai, and he couldn't accept sauce-flavored wine, so he went back to the room to rest after eating.

Yang Dalin didn't care what his daughter was doing...

It's as if you can't see it.

In the end, Yang Mi, who got into the commercial vehicle, was stunned.

asked Li Hao who was driving:

"Brother Hao, where are you taking us?"

"Then you have to ask Sanjin."

Hearing this, Yang Mi looked at Xu Xin puzzled:

"Where are we going? I have to go to work in the afternoon."

"I don't know either, but there is something I really want to show you."

"…where?"

"I'll know when I get there."

Xu Xin shrugged, but Li Hao didn't say a word, and drove up the mountain.

…

Xiangjiang people have a very intuitive definition of "Xiangjiang Dream", which is a little bit like "making money in the north and living in the south".

Because the sea to the south is wide and vast, the scenery is excellent.

And the bigger one is "living in the middle of the mountain".

In other words, houses in Xiangjiang actually become more expensive the farther you go up the hill away from the noisy city.

And they are very particular about Fengshui, buy a house and walk up the mountain, which probably means that Xiangjiang itself is a cornucopia in Fengshui, and living in the cornucopia faces south, with the back of the mountain as a backing, and the peaceful Victoria Harbor is a place to store wealth. land.

The east and west mountains on both sides of the Xiangjiang River are like the "concave" of gold ingots, which means "receive", while the protrusions of Beidao are "send"...

Anyway, there are a lot of things to pay attention to.

After the commercial vehicle walked for a while, Yang Mi suddenly saw that this mountain road was somewhat familiar.

It’s not that she’s been here, but she’s often seen in Hong Kong movies…

Even some of the mansions are very familiar.

I always feel that it is not true in "The God of Gamblers", but I have seen it in "The God of Gamblers".

At the same time, she also saw the place name here: Shouson Mountain.

The name has no origin and reminds her of Zhang Shouchen, the old man in the cross talk world in Guo Degang's cross talk... I don't know if the two are related.

It should be... No way.

The people who live in this place are rich. How is it possible when Zhang Shouchen talks about cross talk.

While thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped in front of a villa that looked a little old.

"That's it?"

Xu Xin glanced out through the window, opened the door, and muttered:

"It's a little small."

"..."

Yang Mi looked at the three-story garden house building, and when she was observing, she heard Li Hao say:

"It's a little smaller than ours, but it's okay here in Xiangjiang... Then no, you look up."

Following the direction Li Hao pointed, Xu Xin vaguely saw a corner of a house.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with that place?"

"Li Jiacheng lives there, and just moved this year. The place is big, 45,000 square feet, and the place is huge... But the problem is that Li Jiacheng doesn't sell it. If he sells it, he might buy it."

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

Xu Xin was also confused:

"What does 45,000 feet mean? This is not calculated by square feet?"

"Um."

Li Hao nodded:

"They calculate by feet, how much is a foot. Or what... feet, anyway, it's quite troublesome to calculate. But just remember that 1,000 square feet is 93 square meters. The so-called thousand-foot mansion is actually A three-bedroom."

"1,000 feet and 93 meters... a luxury house? Ten thousand feet and 930 square meters? 45,000... more than 3,000 square meters? Isn't it just that?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

Yang Mi's mouth twitched...

But Li Hao nodded:

"Yes, it's not big anyway, but it's expensive. I guess his house costs at least HK$70,000 to 80,000 per square foot, right? People here really believe in Fengshui, and Shouson Hill is the place with the best Fengshui in this generation."

"What about this one?"

Pointing to the villa that has not been entered yet, Xu Xin asked.

"More than 40,000 yuan. It covers an area of 320 square meters, and there is a swimming pool in the back. It's not bad. Let Mimi see if you are satisfied."

Yang Mi who was about to go in was stunned:

"What... am I satisfied or not?"

"This is for the two of us."

Xu Xin explained and pushed open the door of the villa.

"Didn't the paparazzi know we were here? My dad thought about staying in the hotel. It happened that the owner of the house was his friend, so he said he bought it. When you come to Xiangjiang in the future, do you want to buy something or take a walk? It’s not that there is no place to live. Let’s go and have a look. This house...is so old.”

Under Yang Mi's absurd gaze, Li Hao nodded:

"That's for sure. It's a twenty-year-old house. But I looked at it this morning. Although the house is old, it's not dilapidated. If the business hadn't gone bankrupt, the family might still be living here. It was cleaned up before leaving, In the afternoon, I'll wait for them to send me the formalities, then arrange for someone to come over and clean it up, and I can live in it tomorrow. Then after you two leave, arrange someone to come over and redecorate."

"Oh... That's fine too... Let's go, why are you standing there?"

Arrived at the door of the house, Xu Xin turned around and saw Yang Mi still standing there stupidly at the door, so he couldn't help but urge her.

But Yang Mi was completely dumbfounded.

Based on the information Li Hao gave just now, she can figure it out...

This 320-square-meter house... Calculated by feet, 1,000 feet is 93 square meters, so this house is about 3,500 feet?

More than 40,000 a foot...it is 40,000.

The price of this house...

140 million! ?

? ? ? ?

I can't afford to live if you sell me!

So, hearing what her boyfriend said, she subconsciously shook her head:

"No...not going..."

"Why?"

“…too expensive.”

Yang Mi directly expressed her feelings.

It's not that she dares not enter.

Rather... it's really too expensive to afford.

…

Buying a house is actually a very distressing thing for many unmarried men and women.

Now it's Yang Mi's turn.

It’s just that others may think that the house is too expensive, it’s not easy to weigh, and it’s a lot of pressure. And she became the hostess of a mansion worth more than 100 million yuan because of...inexplicably...

So, she resisted.

Later, it was Xu Xin who said "my dad bought it for me, and it wasn't your name"... After some heart-wrenching words, Yang Mi accepted this old building full of money and painting style.

That's right.

What you buy is yours, Uncle Xu’s, and even Brother Sanshui’s.

We are not married, and we have not received a certificate... This pressure is too great to bear.

Tutors are not allowed either.

and…

To tell the truth, she didn't like this house either.

Don't look at the three hundred flat, but it does look quite old.

Although I have to admit that the scenery overlooking the Xiangjiang River is really great. But the old house is still not comparable to the new house.

Maybe you will like it after the renovation...but right now, it's just so-so.

Xu Xin could see it, and so could Li Hao.

Then after the three of them finished shopping around the house, when they came to a shoe store called "Golden Oxford", Xu Daqiang also knew the point of view of his future daughter-in-law.

Scatter?

Don't like wow?

If you don’t like it, forget it, then change the hotel.

As for the house…

Since he has agreed to buy it, he will not break his promise.

Although I don’t speculate in real estate, and I don’t know much about real estate, and this house is extremely expensive...but I promise that since this thing is promised, I must do it. I promise and trust, and a golden reputation cannot be ruined just because of this one billion. Bad reputation.

What's more...Although he doesn't understand real estate speculation or the potential of real estate. But Li Jiacheng was able to buy Shouson Mountain, and the treacherous and cunning **** all lived there, so he wouldn't lose money, right?

At that time, no one will live there and deal with it.

So this matter was revealed.

Xu Daqiang doesn't care about more than one billion.

As for what broke into the rich circle of Shouson Hill or why, he didn't bother to think about it.

Money is not needed, it is just a number, how can it be possible for the future daughter-in-law to order shoes for her future father-in-law so carefully?

So, the whole family was busy working on this all afternoon.

First put on a very special sock, and then paste something like glue on the feet, and then wait for the cooling to fix the outline of the feet, and then go through various things that are not known to be glue or what to perfect the outline of the feet Get it down.

A set of things is very troublesome, and then you have to choose styles, leather materials and so on.

It's tedious, but detailed.

And what details can be seen, it is indeed different from the finished shoes bought directly.

Customized shoes can fit the feet perfectly.

Even if he didn't get the actual product, Xu Daqiang was very satisfied with the meticulous craftsmanship.

Place an order and pay.

When I came out of the shoe store, it was getting dark.

Xu Daqiang simply didn't let a few children follow him...The next process is the leisure and entertainment of the three elderly people.

Young people do young people's work.

Thus, together with Sun Ting, the driver who drove Xu Miao, and the young man whose real name was Chen Qi, Xiao Qi who went to buy books in Xi'an for Xu Xin that day, everyone began to feel the prosperity of Xiangjiang.

Zhang Qianqian is quite happy to be able to go shopping with Yang Mi.

Yang Mi's mouth was also sweet, and the laughter of the two of them didn't stop all the way.

The two brothers each had a cup of iced lemon tea, and wandered behind + chatted.

And occasionally look around to see if there are any paparazzi.

As for Sun Ting and Xiao Qi, they only carry bags.

Regardless of what their parents are doing, the young people use their own way of vacation to enjoy the leisure time in Xiangjiang.

Then, on November 30th, Xu Daqiang left Xiangjiang with Yang Dalin and Yang Chunling.

Go to Omen to play.

A few days are enough for the two to become buddies, from drinking for entertainment to chatting with tea.

Anyway, if you can't play with the young people, then we simply separate.

On the contrary, I feel more comfortable.

At noon on December 1st, Zhang Qianqian finally saw Jay Chou.

Under Xu Miao's speechless gaze, his wife turned around Jay Chou as if she saw Bao.

In the time it takes to eat a meal, looking at Jay Chou's eyes is almost sparking.

But it's a pity, Jay Chou came here for a concert, and even took time out to have lunch with Xu Xin and the others. After the meal, he walked non-stop to Hung Hom.

He will start three games in a row here.

No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 have three consecutive games.

Tickets are already sold out.

It is needless to say that his charisma has completely evolved into "Jay Chou".

When parting, Jay Chou did not forget to say:

"Hey, Ah Xin, tonight I want to drink the frozen milk tea from the ice room in Yau Ma Tei last time, remember to buy it for me."

Xu Xin subconsciously agreed:

"Okay. Do you want to drink herbal tea to protect your throat?"

"...so bitter."

"If you don't drink, you don't buy."

"...Okay. Then come early and have dinner together."

"Um."

Originally, the conversation between the two was ordinary, but who knew that after Jay Chou got in the car, Yang Mi had a strange expression:

"Is Yau Ma Tei quite far from Hung Hom?"

"Not far, two or three kilometers."

"...but an L-shaped detour, right?"

"yes."

"And... you still have dinner with him?"

"Yeah, you're not going?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

But after Yang Mi looked weird, she suddenly burst out laughing:

"Puff...hahaha~"

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay...brother."

"Um?"

"Is the one dollar coin tails up tonight?"

"..."

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.

"Wow, you are really... outrageous!"

"Goose Goose Goose Goose~~~"

…

After resting in the hotel for a while in the afternoon, Jay Chou sent a message after four o'clock:

"Little boy, let's drink tea first!"

This is urging Xu Xin to buy milk tea.

Yang Mi covered her mouth and laughed when she saw the news, while Xu Xin put on her clothes angrily, slapped it down, and saw waves of waves amidst the screams.

Then, at about five o'clock, Dani picked her up and led a group of people to the backstage.

The performance starts at 8 o'clock.

At this time, the music in the gymnasium was deafening.

There is no one in the waiting room.

Dani said JAY brother is rehearsing.

To be honest, neither Yang Mi nor Zhang Qianqian, nor Sun Ting, Xiao Qi and the others have ever seen Jay Chou’s rehearsal...or it’s the first time they’ve come to the backstage of a concert.

Being curious, Xu Xin, who originally wanted to put the milk tea in the house, was dragged by these people to the Hung Hom Stadium.

While walking, Zhang Qianqian was still treating Yang Mi like a treasure, talking about who had a concert in this place.

What four heavenly kings, what brother principal...

And the stars in her mouth are the vicissitudes and ups and downs of entertainment in Xiangjiang in the past 30 years.

Not to mention, even Xu Xin walked in this somewhat old-looking corridor, and there was a kind of dreamlike paradox.

Think of how many singers are waiting in this corridor before the performance starts, or are eager to try.

It's weird.

At the end of the corridor, you can see the stage on the side of the Zhongkan Gymnasium. Jay Chou is surrounded by several female backup dancers, surrounded by deafening music and a circle of staff. And the female backup dancers are dancing hard around Jay Chou.

There are also props like pianos and chairs on the stage.

Jay Chou didn't sing, but just gesticulated some perfunctory movements.

"Wow…"

Following Zhang Qianqian's exclamation, although she didn't know why her sister-in-law was amazed, Xu Xin still said:

"Well, sure enough, singing, dancing, rap. He is very suitable for overalls..."

"?"

A bunch of people don't know what he's talking about.

And after Jay Chou turned around in a handsome dance, he happened to see Xu Xin and the others carrying a few plastic bags.

"Hey, Ah Xin!"

His voice, who was still absent-minded, immediately rang out from the speakers in all directions.

Then he left the dancer who was still in the concave shape, and walked over quickly:

"Let's drink tea first, pretty boy!"

Seeing this, several panting female backup dancers also stopped, standing in the distance and looking at this side silently.

One of the female backup dancers recognized the girl wearing a fisherman hat at a glance. It was Yang Mi, who has become popular recently.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Yang Mi noticed that someone was looking at her, so she subconsciously looked up.

I saw one of the two female backup dancers, a girl wearing leather suspenders, a short skirt, black silk and boots under hot pants, staring at herself.

looks like...

Not to mention, not bad.

It's a bit like a mixed race.

As for the figure and legs...

Well, it's not that she is boasting, the other party is really bad.

So, she didn't care.

Just out of politeness, he responded with a smile.

Then he stopped looking at the other party, but pressed the milk tea cup in Xu Xin's hand.

"Oh, he just finished dancing, you let him catch his breath and drink some water and then give him herbal tea. How bitter is that stuff..."

Jay Chou felt the same way:

"Yes, it's still Mimi, hello."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he took the microphone from Jay Chou.
