Chapter 451
Although Wang Shaohua is not very capable, when the old man didn't step down, he was considered a member of the court. He knew many small details of Yanjing. Take the license plate as an example, everyone thinks that the A8 is awesome, but it is not the case. , A8 is too broad at the beginning. It depends on the numbers behind the A8. Only the first few numbers represent some privileged departments, and the last few numbers are falsified and fake.
Li Mu's brand, look at the number and return to the State Administration, but these license plates are not really all issued by the State Administration. The State Administration uses part of it itself, and the remaining part of the indicators are generally issued to the related households. The related households It's not something that can be obtained by simply knowing an acquaintance inside. The real number cards in the game can be distributed outside the department for less than 100 yuan in total.
Su Yuehua was also a little surprised when he heard the Ministry of State Administration, and said subconsciously, "Maybe he borrowed it? Isn't hiss a commercial car?"
Wang Shaohua sighed: "It's unusual to borrow this car and this license plate."
Su Yuehua smiled and said, "You forgot, the last time they invited us to dinner, they went to Fayue Restaurant, and after eating so much money, someone quietly settled the bill for him. He has a wide network of contacts."
Wang Shaohua sighed: "That's right, this kid's 3321 is now cooperating with 211 and 985 colleges and universities across the country, and the internal evaluation of the education department shows that 3321 is now the largest funded and most widely covered student aid charity project in the country. There are also departments who are jealous and want to forcibly incorporate 3321 by using the national prefix, but there are leaders at higher levels who speak directly, and no department is allowed to make 3321 ideas, let it develop on its own, you can see how wide his face is."
Su Yuehua asked curiously, "A higher-level leader? How tall?"
Wang Shaohua smiled and said, "I don't know the specifics, but it means that it is quite high, and it must be higher than the ministries."
Su Yuehua understood immediately, and sighed: "I hope he can control the direction, 3321's stage is so big, if there is no problem, there will be many benefits, but if he can't control, I'm afraid that all previous efforts will be lost."
Wang Shaohua said, "Are you referring to the money issue?"
"Yeah." Su Yuehua said, "The 3321 project is like a snowball, it's getting bigger and bigger. Now that it's launched nationwide, the income of the entire platform is getting higher and higher, and so much money is at his disposal. He is 20 years old. The young man who is shy, can he hold it? Although he doesn’t break the law even if he uses the 3321 money, the reputation he has finally built up is gone.”
Wang Shaohua nodded, but then said: "Actually, I think this worry is a bit unnecessary. If he wants to make this money, when 3321 was founded, he should not announce the decision of not making a profit. The money he makes is all his, but he If he directly announced that he would not make a penny, he could have come up with such a project, and he should have considered this kind of thing very clearly.
"
"I hope that's what you said."
...
Li Mu didn't know that Wang Shaohua was driving behind him for two or three kilometers. While driving, he asked Wang Xinran what he wanted to eat.
Wang Xinran sat in the car and looked left and right, but when she really wanted her to decide what to eat, she smeared her eyes again and asked three questions.
Su Yingxue was also muttering in her heart since she got into the car. She didn't know about Li Mu's change of car at all. She was very surprised when she saw him driving such a car. Can keep doubts in mind.
Seeing that neither of them had any opinions, Li Mu thought that Wang Xinran might not be in a good mood, so he thought of inviting her to a big meal to make up for it.
After thinking about it, Li Mu's impression of the high-end restaurant was Fayue Restaurant, and he hadn't been to the others, so he took out his mobile phone and called Li Tong, Fayue's boss.
Since the last time when Xu Jiaming introduced himself to him and he invited Su Yingxue's aunt and uncle to dinner at Fayue, Li Mu has not contacted Li Tong, and after a phone call, the other party's voice also carried a bit of surprise: " Oh, Li Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't seen you come to me again."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Yeah, I've been quite busy recently."
Li Tong said, "I know you're busy. You're making a lot of noise in Muye Technology now. People outside my circle hear it every day."
Li Mu said: "It's just been busy for a while." After speaking, Li Mu said again: "Is there any seats in your restaurant? I want to bring friends over for dinner later."
Li Tong immediately said: "Yes, no matter how good Fayue's business is, I have reserved a place for my friends. You can come directly. I'll say hello to the manager. You can just report your name to the welcome guest when you arrive."
"Okay, thanks, I'll be right here."
Li Tong smiled and said: "You come to cheer for me, I'm almost thankful for you, you're welcome, come on."
Li Mu hung up the phone, and Wang Xinran couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, where are you taking us to eat?"
Li Mu said, "Fayue Restaurant."
"Fa Yue?" Wang Xinran's eyes widened and he said, "Is that the Fa Yue restaurant you invited my parents to last time?"
Li Mu nodded: "That's it."
Wang Xinran hurriedly said: "Oh, I heard that eating there is very expensive, so let's not go there."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is rich, so you don't need to worry about whether it's expensive or not, you can just eat."
Wang Xinran couldn't help laughing out loud and gave Li Mu a thumbs up: "Brother-in-law, you are amazing."
Li Mu didn't talk to Wang Xinran about the film school all the way, and occasionally joked with her. It could be seen that she was in a much better mood than when she first got in the car, her brows relaxed, and Su Yingxue on the side was also worried. few.
Parking the car at the entrance of Fayue, Li Mu brought the two girls to the main entrance of Fayue Restaurant. The beautiful European white woman who greeted you at the door immediately came up and asked, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I called your boss."
The white beauty immediately came to a realization and asked enthusiastically, "Are you Mr. Li Mu Li?"
"it's me."
The white beauty immediately bent down and bowed slightly, then made a gesture of invitation and said, "Your seat has been reserved. On the second floor, our boss said that you should order food first when you arrive, and he will come over later."
Su Yingxue has experienced such a thing once, so she is not surprised by this situation, but Wang Xinran is speechless. She has heard others say that Fayue Restaurant is the most high-end western restaurant in Yanjing, and the per capita consumption is It takes several thousand to start, and most people who go directly to the rich can't eat it, because the restaurant adopts the reservation system and does not accept guests who come directly to the door. Li Mu wanted to invite her to eat here. She was already very surprised, but she didn't expect this. "Brother-in-law" still has such a good face here. When he comes to have a meal, the boss will come over.
On the second and third floors of Fayue Restaurant, there is a seat by the window with the best location and view. Even regular customers cannot reserve these two seats, because they are reserved by Li Tong, and only his friends can find him. These two seats were taken down, and he also asked that these two seats should not be entertained at any time. Even if there were many people, if no friends came, Li Tong would let these two seats idle.
This time, Li Tong arranged for Li Mu the window seat on the second floor, which was the same table as when he invited Aunt Su Yingxue and aunt last time.
After sitting down, the waiter brought the menu. Li Mu asked Wang Xinran to order first, but she didn't dare to say anything after flipping through the menu, because the price on it was really terrifyingly expensive, and she felt that no matter what she ordered, she would have a negative feeling. Feeling guilty, he said to Li Mu, "Brother-in-law, you should order it. I will eat what you order."
Li Mu was helpless, looked at Su Yingxue, and said, "Why don't you give it a little more pleasure."
Su Yingxue nodded slightly and ordered some relatively moderately priced meals.
Wang Xinran didn't eat or drink for a day. It was impossible to say that she was not hungry. She felt a little relieved now, but she had an appetite. In addition, Fayue's western food was really impeccable, so she ate quite energetically. There is a meaning of turning grief and anger into food.
Halfway through the meal, Wang Xinran couldn't help but ask Li Mu, "Brother-in-law, will you still make movies in the future?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make more movies, I won't be the director anymore."
"Ah?" Wang Xinran was quite happy listening to the first half, but was inevitably disappointed in the second half, and asked, "Why don't you be a director? You are so talented..."
Li Mu said: "I'm not a professional, I'm still reluctant to make a small film, and I'm timid when I make a big film, so I'm not going to be a director in the future, but I'm going to be a producer."
After hearing this, Wang Xinran rekindled hope: "The producer has more power! If you are a producer, can you assign me a role in a new play? I'm not going to go to the film school in the future, I think about the rest. I studied hard for two months and tried to be admitted to the National People's Congress, but I have studied acting for so long, and I haven't officially performed until now, so I just gave up so quietly..."
Li Mu asked her, "Why don't you want to go to the film school?"
A trace of loneliness flashed across Wang Xinran's expression: "The film academy is a shady scene, which is very sad."
Li Mu nodded, it would be strange for a reserve force in the entertainment industry like the Film Academy to have no shady scenes. Wang Xinran was a victim of shady scenes. Li Mu quite understood her feelings. The related households are squeezed out, and no one can accept it.
Immediately, Li Mu said: "This year, a campus youth film should be launched, which is similar to the tone of "Old Boy". If the project is launched, it will definitely give you a significant role."
The last time Li Mu and Ning Hao touched the script of "A Thief Among Thieves" (Crazy Stone), he had a plan to make the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". The heroine was to arrange for Du Wei to play the role. , I want to hold a pillar for Muye Imaging, but it seems that there is no problem with Wang Xinran playing the second female lead.
When Wang Xinran heard Li Mu's clear answer, he immediately became excited and asked, "Really?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course it's true, and this time it's not a micro-movie, this time it's a big movie."
"That's great!" Wang Xinran said excitedly, "Just assign me a character with a few lines. I'm also satisfied to be able to play a character with lines in a movie."
Li Mu said: "It is estimated that this film will be released in the second half of the year. It happens after the college entrance examination. You should prepare well for the college entrance examination during this time. You may be able to start filming as soon as the college entrance examination is over, but you must work hard in the past two months. , If you can't get into a good university and you have to go back to repeat your studies, then I'm afraid you will miss this movie."
Wang Xinran nodded hurriedly and said, "I must work hard!"
Su Yingxue smiled gratified: "It's good to know that you work hard, don't patronize and talk, and have something to eat."
At this time, a group of four people came up the stairs and sat at the table next to Su Yingxue and Wang Xinran. Among the four people were three middle-aged people and a girl. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. After leaving, a middle-aged woman greeted the waiter, and at the same time said diligently to the two middle-aged men in front of her: "Director Xu and Director Shan, you two order first, this restaurant is the best in our Yanjing. The western restaurant, especially their sirloin steak, uses the best Japanese wagyu beef, and the taste is very good.”
After seeing the price of Wagyu sirloin steak on the menu, the man and the woman in front of him were secretly surprised. The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Ms. Zhang, you are so polite, we don't need to be so good when we eat between friends. The restaurant came to us and made us feel too bad about going..."
The woman next to him also nodded in agreement: "Director Xu said yes, we are a little nervous about coming to such a good restaurant to eat..."
The coquettish middle-aged woman sitting across from them smiled and said, "Look at what you two said, it's just a meal, what is this, my husband is a senior member here, just like his own, you two He helped us so much and arranged our family Yueyue into the big list. Our old Chen said that he wanted to thank you both in person, but he was talking about a project in Japan and couldn't come back, so he explained to me. Be sure to entertain the two of you well, and when he returns from Japan, he will invite you both individually."
The middle-aged man stroked the Mediterranean hairstyle on his head, and said with a smile, "It's a small matter, don't be so polite, Mr. Chen too, what to do in such an outrageous manner."
The dazzling woman smiled and said, "The child's matter is the biggest matter, so this matter is nothing in your eyes, but for our family, nothing is more important than this."
As she said that, the woman stroked the back of the little girl next to her and said to the two: "Two, when the child enters school next year, the two of you will need to take more care of you in school. Our old Chen said, wait for the child. When he turns 20, he will invest money to make a movie and support his children to debut, and at that time, some resources in this area will have to be bothered by the two of you for more help."
Originally, Li Mu had no intention of listening to the other party's chat, but when he heard the other party talking about investing money to make a movie, he couldn't help but glance at it. The man with the Mediterranean hairstyle heard this sentence, and his eyes lit up with excitement. He nodded again and again and said, "Don't worry, we will do our best at that time."
Wang Xinran also heard the conversation at the other side's table, and after turning his head to take a look, his expression immediately became stunned.
Li Mu asked her, "Xin Ran, do you know them?"
Wang Xinran turned her head back, her expression suddenly became rather gloomy, she nodded slightly, and said softly, "That girl's name is Chen Yueyue, she is my classmate in the acting training class at the Film Academy, the woman next to her is her mother, the one sitting opposite The man is the director of the admissions office of the film school, and the woman is the head of the acting department."
Hearing what Wang Xinran said, combined with the content of the conversation between them overheard just now, Li Mu instantly understood that the unremarkable girl named Chen Yueyue was one of Wang Xinran's connections.
