Chapter 340 Guess Who I Saw?

The thank-you banquet was late, and when it was about to end, Li Mu drank a lot of wine, all of whom came to toast actively. He deliberately didn't drink white wine and responded with beer, but he still felt a little dizzy.

Before leaving, Li Mu whispered to Su Yingxue beside him, "Dear, you can drive later."

Su Yingxue said, "But I have no experience..."

Li Mu then said, "It's okay, I'll give you instructions by the side."

Hearing this sentence, Su Yingxue didn't think much, nodded and agreed.

Before the show ended, Li Mu took a beer and toasted everyone again. After finishing the filming, the filming was all completed, and the post-production editing, effects, and sound mixing were behind the scenes. Most of the people here would not be involved, so basically In the future, apart from working together again, there will be no chance to meet again.

After the toast, everyone left after having a good meal. Before Li Mu left, he pulled Ning Hao and told him to prepare for the post-production work of the movie as soon as possible, and try to start the work in two days. So he immediately agreed to Li Mu and said, "I will start preparations early tomorrow morning."

Li Mu said, "Don't be in such a hurry, give yourself a day off anyway."

Ning Hao waved his hand: "I can't rest anymore, let's finish all our movies in one go, and have a good rest after the new year!"

Seeing that his enthusiasm for work was so high, Li Mu didn't say more, just instructed: "Don't forget to write a notebook."

Ning Hao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have several stories in my head."

After speaking, Ning Hao asked Li Mu in a low voice, "Boss, do you have the resources for distribution and theater chains? If you don't have the resources, you have to look for them as soon as possible. The movie's revenue basically depends on distribution and theater chains to make money. , even if the film is good, it is difficult to achieve a high box office."

Li Mu smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that he didn't have any resources in this area, but he already had a grand blueprint and wanted to build his own theater chain. Now the domestic film industry is not developed enough, the cost of building a theater chain at this time The market is the lowest and the market is the most vacant. If you master the cinema resources before the box office blowout, you are equivalent to mastering the fate of all films in the domestic market. After all, the cinema is the most direct and critical link to get money from consumers’ pockets. , is as important to the film industry as Alipay and WeChat Pay are to the e-commerce industry.

In the future, a Wanda cinema chain will have a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan, not counting its potential influence on the entertainment industry, so investing in a cinema chain is definitely a good deal.

However, there is also an embarrassment in investing in theaters: the investment cost is too high, and the initial income is slow.

Li Mu himself definitely does not have the financial resources, but in the future, he can transfer part of the shares of Muye Imaging to Muye Technology, so that he can get a sum of money from Muye Technology, and then continue to use Muye Technology to support this subsidiary company, At the same time, Makino Imaging can also make money by himself, and he can cast some popular film and television dramas with deep knowledge. If the operation is good, it will definitely be a lot of income.

After they were full of food and drink, everyone walked out of the hotel together. Li Mu and Su Yingxue stood hand in hand at the door waiting for the car. The valet parking service staff of the star-rated hotel drove the car to the two of them, then got out of the car and handed the car keys to Li Mu. on hand.

Li Mu turned his head, handed the car key to Su Yingxue, and said, "Come and drive."

Su Yingxue nodded, took the car keys and went around to the cab. Li Mu also opened the car door and got in the car. Su Yingxue was quite skilled in starting the car, shifting gears, and sending the handbrake, and then slowly started to leave.

At this time, a middle-aged man accompanied a white-haired old man and walked to the place where Li Mu and Su Yingxue got into the car. The middle-aged man stared at Li Mu's GL8 in a daze, and the old man next to him asked, "Shaohua, what are you looking at? ?"

The middle-aged man suddenly regained his senses, took his eyes away from the GL8, and hurriedly said to the old man beside him, "I didn't see any Secretary Cao."

The old man nodded slightly. At this time, the driver drove an Audi A6 to the front. The driver personally came down and opened the rear door for the old man. Before getting into the car, the old man said to the middle-aged man, "Shaohua, let Xiao Zhang take you first. Send it back."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Let's send you first, Secretary Cao, and when you get home, please trouble Xiao Zhang to send me there."

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "I remember that your home is not far from here. I'll send you off first. Don't shirk and get in the car."

When the middle-aged man heard that the old man remembered that his home was not far from here, he was overjoyed and stopped insisting, saying, "Thank you, Secretary Cao." Then he got into the co-pilot.

The middle-aged man's home is really not far from this five-star hotel. The Audi car drove to the community where his house is located in ten minutes. Then the middle-aged man thanked the old man and instructed the driver to take the old man to his home. Get out of the car and go home.

On the way back, he remembered the scene he saw when he left the hotel just now. He couldn't help but feel anxious. He took a few steps faster and returned home quickly. His wife was watching TV with his daughter in the living room. As soon as the middle-aged man entered the door, He waved to his wife on the sofa: "Yuehua, I'll tell you something when I get home."

Su Yuehua, who was watching TV, was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but say, "Oh, if you have something to do, just say it now."

The middle-aged man was about to speak, but when he thought that his daughter was still by his wife's side, he gave up again and continued: "Oh, come to the room, I have something to tell you alone."

"Oh, it's annoying." Su Yuehua had no choice but to stand up and walk to the bedroom, muttering as he walked, "What's so mysterious, I have to tell it from the room..."

The daughter on the sofa also smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, what can't you tell me in private?"

The middle-aged man waved to his daughter on the sofa and said with a smile, "Watch your TV!"

Then he hurried into the room, closed the door, and said to Su Yuehua, "I accompanied Secretary Cao to Winston for an entertainment just now. Guess who I saw when I came out?"

"Who is it?" Su Yuehua frowned, looking curious.

Women are born to love gossip, especially the tone of her husband's speech, which is really intriguing.

At this time, Su Yuehua's husband Wang Shaohua lowered his voice and said, "I saw Yingxue!"

"Yingxue?" Su Yuehua was even more surprised: "Yingxue's school is in Zhongguancun, and Winston is near our house, at least twenty kilometers away from her school. How could she be here so late? What was the situation at that time? , have you spoken to her?"

Wang Shaohua hesitated for a moment and said, "I told you don't worry, Secretary Cao and I came out of Winston just in time to see Yingxue and a boy getting into a car and leaving."

"Leave?" Su Yuehua asked, "You mean, she left Winston with a boy, right?"

Wang Shaohua nodded: "Aren't you asking nonsense?"

Su Yuehua rolled his eyes at him: "Yingxue is my niece, I must ask clearly!" After speaking, Su Yuehua asked nervously, "What is the situation when she came out of Winston with a boy so late?"

Wang Shaohua spread his hands and said, "I don't know. Before they got into the car, I saw their backs were holding hands. I didn't recognize her at that time. Later, the waiter drove the car to the front. The boy gave Yingxue the car key, and I only recognized her when Yingxue went around the front of the car to the cab."

Su Yuehua's expression suddenly became more nervous: "You mean, Yingxue and a boy came out of Winston, and the two drove away, or was it Yingxue's car?"

Wang Shaohua nodded again and again: "Yes."

"How old is that boy?"

"It looks about as big as Yingxue."

Su Yuehua's heart suddenly twitched, she slowly sat beside the bed, and said to herself: "The car is definitely not Yingxue's, that is to say, 80% of the car belongs to that boy, there is a car at a young age, no matter what. Whether it's his or his family's, the boy's family conditions should be pretty good, and the two of them came out of Winston, where the consumption is so high..."

Having said that, Su Yuehua stood up suddenly and asked hastily, "You said Yingxue this child...she won't...she won't go astray, right?!"

Wang Shaohua also didn't know how to respond to his wife's question. If he said no, then the situation tonight would make no sense. If he said yes, his wife would probably go crazy.

Seeing that her husband didn't speak for a long time, Su Yuehua couldn't help but say, "No, I have to call Yingxue to find out."

"Don't!" Wang Shaohua hurriedly stopped her and said, "What kind of thing do you call Yingxue now? How do you expect her to answer you on the phone?"

Su Yuehua said: "I have to ask her what her relationship is with that boy, and what is she doing so late! My second brother is just such a precious daughter, she is in Yanjing, and the second brother also entrusts me to take care of her, second sister-in-law. He also specifically told me that she wanted me to pay attention to her, and don't let Yingxue fall in love at school, such a big thing, I must not ask clearly?"

Wang Shaohua said: "This is not something that can be asked clearly with just a phone call. Otherwise, we will call Yingxue at home for dinner, and then you can ask her in person in private. If you call now, how can you ask? The real situation will make Yingxue resist."

Su Yuehua said emotionally: "Yingxue drove away with a boy. In the evening, if something happens to them, Yingxue is confused again and something should not happen. What do you say?"

Wang Shaohua looked at the time and said, "It's been almost twenty minutes since they left. It's estimated to take half an hour to drive from here to the National People's Congress, or you can wait a little longer and call Yingxue's dormitory. , to see if she goes back to the dormitory, they should turn off the lights at 10:30, there is less than half an hour, wait until 10:30 if she hasn't returned to the dormitory, you can call her again, no matter what, no matter what Excuse me, we have to take her home tonight."

Su Yuehua thought for a moment, then nodded lightly, her husband's method should be the most rational and most appropriate, first bet that Yingxue has no puppy love or everything is measured, and will rush back to the dormitory before turning off the lights, if not, then there is something wrong. If it goes too far, he will call her cell phone directly, as her husband said, no matter what method is used, get her to the house first.

...

At this moment, Li Mu and Su Yingxue are still on their way back to the National People's Congress. Although Su Yingxue hasn't crossed the road much, but at night there are few cars, so she drives relatively smoothly. Li Mu is next to her from time to time to show her the way, so she is relieved to drive. .

While driving, Su Yingxue asked Li Mu, "Are you all right? Do you still have a headache?"

"It's still a little bit." Li Mu rubbed his temples: "Drinking too much beer will cause a headache, but nothing else."

Su Yingxue said, "Then are you going back to the bedroom tonight?"

"I won't go back." Li Mu said, "I have to take a hot bath and then have a good night's sleep. If the bedroom doesn't have this condition, I'd better go to Yucheng Garden."

Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Can you do it yourself after drinking so much alcohol?"

Li Mu borrowed the donkey to get off the slope: "Definitely not."

Su Yingxue asked him subconsciously, "What should I do then?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "You stay with me, at least you can pour me some water or something. If I'm not feeling well, you can take me to a hospital, or call an ambulance for me."

Su Yingxue asked nervously, "Is it so serious?"

Li Mu said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, but I'm afraid of what to do. My alcohol intake is average. Tonight is an extraordinary performance. If you feel uncomfortable at night and there is no one around to take care of you, there may be problems, such as if you take a shower. My foot slipped and fell and I lost consciousness. So the best way is for you to stay with me in Yucheng Garden tonight."

Su Yingxue thought for a while, and saw that Li Mu's face turned red when he really drank, for fear that something would happen to him in Yucheng Garden, so he agreed: "That's fine, I'll accompany you at night."

This is what Li Mu was waiting for. Hearing Su Yingxue agree, he hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to go back on your words."

Su Yingxue knew that Li Mu was somewhat cautious, so she nodded shyly and said, "I don't regret it, but you can't be too outrageous."

Li Mu asked her, "Why is it out of line?"

Su Yingxue gave him a white look, and said angrily, "It's the same as before."

Li Mu couldn't help but ask: "Madam, can't you give me some discount?"

"cannot."

Li Mu grinned, can't it, it's useless to talk about it, he has to rely on actual actions to win, anyway, he made up his mind tonight, sleep in no matter the room, no matter how bad it is, he will hold Su Yingxue to sleep beautifully all night.

Su Yingxue drove the car to Yucheng Garden, and as soon as the two returned home, Su Yingxue urged Li Mu to take a bath and refresh himself. Li Mu himself realized that he was smelling of alcohol, so he plunged into the bathroom to take a shower, and Su Yingxue took it for him. Li Mu tidied up the room, sorted out some miscellaneous items that he had placed at random, and helped Li Mu put some clothes in the bedroom into the washing machine.

At half past ten, a phone call came into Su Yingxue's bedroom on time. Her roommate answered the phone and heard a woman on the phone ask, "Hello, I'll find Su Yingxue in your bedroom."

The roommate replied subconsciously: "Oh, Yingxue didn't come back tonight, maybe she went to her relative's house..." (To be continued.)
