☆, Chapter 12 Complexity

Therefore, an investment of one or two million is not a small amount. Some small crews only rely on an investment of three or five hundred thousand to put together a project. This is very common.

Gu Ran counted the money he had.

One million given by Gu's father and mother, one million given by Gu Yan, and she just checked the card given by Gu Ximing, which contained one million. A total of three million.

She plans to invest in three dramas.

According to the original time schedule, three of the five dramas with the highest traffic after they are broadcast next year will be included in Gu Ximing's project list.

Since these three films are all low-budget productions and do not have any outstanding actors, the current investment has not been fully raised.

One drama is still in its early stages.

The original novel that made Jiang Mengbai famous, "Sex and the City", the annual drama king, can be invested more, 1.8 million.

In addition, there are two suspense dramas that will be popular next year. One is a costume drama and the other is a modern drama. Both are classic examples of low cost and huge returns.

Gu Ran used his mobile phone to write down the contact information of the project person, turned the page, and continued to look at the project on the next page.

At this time, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Secretary Li walked in with a man.

The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, with a high nose bridge, deep eyebrows and eyes, and a slightly mixed-race look. His facial features were very three-dimensional, the kind of appearance that was stunning and eye-catching at first sight.

Gu Ran was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Gu will be done in twenty minutes. Mr. Bai, please wait in the office for a while."

Secretary Li treated the man with great respect and led him to sit on the sofa in the reception room. Turning around, he saw Gu Ran who was a little dazed. Then he remembered that Gu Ran might not know the man, so he smiled and introduced him to Gu Ran.

"This is Bai Yifan, the young master of the Bai Group. He is a good friend of our CEO Gu. Miss doesn't go out often, so you probably haven't met him yet."

"Yeah." Gu Ran nodded. She felt that the Bai Group sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember which character in the original book it was.

She nodded towards Bai Yifan, not knowing what polite words to say for a moment, and said with a silly smile, "Hello, Mr. Bai."

Bai Yifan returned the favor with a polite smile, his voice gentle and pleasant, "Xiao Ran, right? I heard Ximing mention you. Calling you Mr. Bai is too formal. I'm two years older than Ximing, so you can still call me brother."

"Brother Bai." Gu Ran blurted out, and then felt that the repetition seemed a little too intimate.

Seeing the expression on Bai Yifan's face seemed a little surprised, she carefully changed her words, "Brother Bai..."

It's strange that she suddenly turned from a little girl into a chivalrous woman.

Bai Yifan smiled and said, "Just call me Brother Bai."

As expected, Big Brother Bai was still too chivalrous. Gu Ran readily followed his lead and said, "Brother Bai."

"Yeah." Bai Yifan responded, picked up the coffee that the secretary had just brought to him, and took a sip.

Secretary Li stepped back and closed the office door, leaving only two people in the room.

Gu Ran felt less comfortable than being alone in the office.

Logically speaking, Bai Yifan was a guest, so she should have exchanged pleasantries, but she was not good at socializing and was not familiar with Bai Yifan, so she had no idea what to say and could only stare at Bai Yifan.

As if he could see her tangle, Bai Yifan raised his hand gently and said, "I'll wait for Ximing here for a while. Xiaoran, just do as you please. You don't need to take special care of me."

Gu Ran relaxed a little after hearing this, responded, and then his gaze returned to the computer screen.

At this moment, a sound of electricity suddenly rang in my ears, accompanied by a mechanical sound.

“Sizzle…sizzle…”

"Host, host, host, are you there?"

Gu Ran was startled, and her first reaction was to look towards Bai Yifan, only to see that Bai Yifan had also taken out his cell phone and was looking down at it.

The phone was on silent and made no sound at all.

"Host, host, are you there?"

The mechanical sound was still ringing, so clear that it seemed to be in my mind, not somewhere in the room.

Gu Ran tried to talk to the other party, "Who is the host? Are you calling me?"

"Ah, host! I finally got in touch with you. Qiqi is so touched!"

The mechanical sound seemed to have wavy lines, echoing in Gu Ran's mind.

"I am system number 007, and I have been bound to the host for a long time. Due to insufficient power before, I have been unable to contact the host. Now I finally have enough power. Host, I miss you so much, wuwuwu..."

"Wait!" Gu Ran suddenly thought of the crackling sound of electricity this morning.

Could it be that it was the system contacting her at that time?

In her previous life, as a screenwriter, she had read quite a few novels, especially those about system binding and quick travel, and was familiar with all the rules.

After the shock of traveling through a book, she found it much easier to accept the current system binding.

only…

"Why is it still out of power? Do you even need to charge it?"

"It's not charging in the physical sense of your world. The host can understand it as a kind of energy." The system said aggrievedly, and then gave Gu Ran a long explanation.

Gu Ran summarized.

To put it simply, when she entered the book, she was bound to System 007, but due to some errors in the system, its energy was cut off when it entered this world.

Unable to rely on energy from the main world, the system can only absorb energy from this world.

Because no energy has been found yet, the system has been unable to contact Gu Ran and is in a semi-sleeping state.

In the morning, it took the system's effort to come back to life, but it soon lay down again.

Until just now, when Bai Yifan entered this office, the system felt the energy of the Son of World's Luck, and then it woke up with the help of this energy.

The reason he is able to talk to Gu Ran now is because he absorbs the energy from Bai Yifan.

As Gu Ran listened to the system's mysterious words, he couldn't help but sneak a peek at Bai Yifan from beside the computer screen, and his eyes became a little strange.

There is actually a son of luck in this world?

Good heavens, could her third brother be an unlucky person?

It was obviously a good project, but all kinds of problems arose after Gu Ximing invested in it. If Gu Ximing wasn't unlucky, who would be?

After the system finished explaining, it also opened the so-called third eye for Gu Ran, and then Gu Ran found that Bai Yifan was surrounded by a layer of faint light.

The system told her that it was luck.

Gu Ran suddenly remembered that the Bai Group was the core company in the original novel!

He owns many industries and is the richest man in City A. The three heroines of the novel all end up working in the Bai Group.

Jiang Mengbai became a movie queen in the entertainment company under the Bai family.

The second female protagonist eventually becomes an executive of the Bai Group.

After a series of tragic love affairs, physical and emotional abuse, the third heroine married the nephew of the chairman of the Bai Group and lived the life of a wealthy wife.

Gu Ran's gaze towards Bai Yifan suddenly became more complicated, mixed with envy, jealousy, admiration... and a series of other emotions.
