Chapter 166 World Six [11]

Because of its customer base, the coffee shop will definitely not close too early.

After quickly finishing dinner and exchanging contact information, Ye Yunfu and the other adults went back to the store to continue their work.

Ye Yunfu did not let the minors stay too late. At around eight o'clock, he let his sister and her classmates go home to play.

Small Town Coffee was originally scheduled to close at 10 p.m., but because there were so many office workers working overtime nearby, it was forced to delay until 10:30 p.m. before completing the last order.

"Boss Ye, there shouldn't be any promotions tomorrow, right?" Zhang Sangyu said as he stretched and moved his neck left and right.

"No, but there are still several thousand redemption coupons in the background that have not been used. Before the redemption coupons expire, there should be no problem with the store's customer flow." Ye Yunfu said, and took the initiative to open the driver's door.

"Do you need me to ask my cousin to come and help tomorrow?" Zhang Sangyu consciously opened the back door of the car and did not compete with Jing Ke, the wife, for the passenger seat.

"They probably don't need it anymore, but they can come to the store to do their summer homework." Ye Yunfu said, "Do they want to go home or have a midnight snack before going back?"

"Go straight back. Take my cousin and your sister out for dinner tomorrow. It will be more lively with more people around." Zhang Sangyu couldn't help but observe Jing Ke out of the corner of her eye.

The meaning of dining with three people is completely different from that of dining with five people. Three people are just light bulbs, but with five people, it is a real dinner party!

-

After finishing his work and returning to the hotel, Ye Yunfu immediately kicked off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

"Ah, I'm finally done." Ye Yunfu turned over in bed. "Jing Ke, what time is it now? Is it already twelve o'clock?"

"Eleven twenty-three, it will be around twelve o'clock after washing up." Jing Ke picked up his phone and looked at it.

"Jing Ke, I'm so tired. I really want to be a hands-off boss." Ye Yunfu said while lying on the bed. She was very busy during the past seven days of the event.

Although Ye Yunfu was not in charge of the production, she had to help with serving food and clearing the table when things got busy. Not to mention that there were customers who wanted to cut in line, so she had to stand up when they were making trouble.

Speaking of maintaining order, Ye Yunfu jumped up from the bed again.

"Did that naughty guest really not hurt you? I remember you used your arm to block him at that time." Ye Yunfu said, grabbing Jing Ke's right wrist, unbuttoning the cufflinks and pushing up the sleeve.

"It's okay. I guess our competitors saw that our business was so good, so they arranged a few people to cause trouble." Jing Ke said, and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, revealing his entire forearm.

The fair skin comes into view, with minimal color difference between the front and the side, and feels as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat white jade.

After checking repeatedly, Ye Yunfu touched her several times. After satisfying his urge, he let go of Jing Ke's hand and gave her a hug instead.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Yunfu said.

"Then can I ask for a reward?" Jing Ke asked.

"Okay." Ye Yunfu agreed immediately, standing on tiptoe and kissing his girlfriend. "Is this enough?"

Jing Ke's eyes changed slightly. Thinking that Ye Yunfu, as the store manager, would need to get up early tomorrow, she could only suppress the idea that had just popped up.

Let’s wait a little longer, tomorrow. When I’m not so busy tomorrow, I can consider taking further steps.

"Not enough." Jing Ke said, holding the back of Ye Yunfu's head with her palm and deepening the kiss.

It was not until Ye Yunfu was a little out of breath that Jing Ke let her go and allowed her to lean on his arms.

If you can't eat people, just charge more interest.

-

Jing Ke's idea is good, but her plan is destined to be full of twists and turns.

Without the promotion, the number of customers on the second day did drop significantly. There was no need to hire minors, and the existing staff was more than enough to handle the work.

But Ye Yunfu received a call from Director Qin, who said that some preliminary preparations were almost completed and wanted to invite Ye Yunfu and other screenwriters to meet and discuss the script.

Ye Yunfu is the owner of the IP and the largest investor, so she has no reason to refuse this request.

"Okay, I'll go to Beijing the day after tomorrow and make an appointment with you, Director Qin, then." Ye Yunfu agreed without hesitation.

After hearing Ye Yunfu's words, Jing Ke subconsciously looked over with surprise and helplessness in his eyes.

Is my luck really that bad? I just want to have a normal couple's kiss!

"Hmm? Director Qin is planning to come to Nanjiang City? Sure, I happen to be here at the moment. If you, Director Qin, come with your team, I won't go." A smile appeared on Ye Yunfu's face.

"Okay, no problem. We'll contact each other then." Ye Yunfu hung up the phone and turned to share the good news he had just received with Jing Ke.

"Jing Ke, Director Qin plans to shoot at the Nanjiang City Film and Television Base, so he plans to open a studio here as well." Ye Yunfu said, "A screenwriter has already written the script outline based on the detailed outline provided. When the time comes, we will hold a discussion meeting and then we can officially start writing the script."

"Director Qin will be here in a few days?" Jing Ke's eyes lit up. This was indeed good news for her.

"Maybe in a week. I'll have a meeting then, and then I'll be busy again." Ye Yunfu put his phone on the table and began to review his recent tasks.

She would definitely spend an hour or two at the coffee shop every day during the early stages, and the daily updates for "The Imperial Instructor" were also essential. After meeting with Director Qin, she had another script to write.

Oops, if you calculate it this way, it seems like I’m even busier than when I was at work!

"Can we go back early today?" Jing Ke asked the question that concerned her.

"Well, the manuscripts I saved up with great difficulty some time ago are almost used up. I will go back early tonight to write tomorrow's update." Ye Yunfu nodded.

Ye Yunfu, immersed in his own thoughts, did not realize that Jing Ke's eyes were becoming increasingly dangerous.

It’s okay that the coffee shop is more important than me, but how come typing is now ranked ahead of me too?

Is it because I haven't issued any tasks recently, so my weight in Ye Yunfu's heart has decreased?

"Oh, and there's also the renovation of the large flat. I remember the designer's plan said the renovation would only take a month. Now the time has come, and I can go for the inspection in a few days!"

Ye Yunfu said, slapping his forehead, remembering the house and car he bought to spend the last eight million.

The SUV became his regular car, and the sports car was parked in the garage of the large flat community. He hadn't looked at his sports car for a month.

"Is the new house going to be renovated?" Jing Ke's heart moved, and a better idea appeared in her mind.

Since it’s the first time, it would be too casual to do it in a hotel. It would be more memorable if it were done in a new house!

After thinking about this, Jing Ke slowed down her tone and said, "Ask the designer how the progress is. If it's almost done, we can buy furniture today and then hire a cleaner to clean the room."

"Okay, I'll ask." Ye Yunfu didn't hear the hidden thoughts in Jing Ke's words, and quickly contacted the designer.

The good news is that the interior renovation and partial decoration have been a complete success. Since the materials purchased are relatively expensive and environmentally friendly, there is no need for the so-called six-month ventilation, and you can move in directly.

The bad news is that because the condition of the house was different from what was initially surveyed, more materials were used when renovating the bathroom, so the total cost was $30,000 more than expected.

It was only an extra 30,000 yuan, which was just a drop in the bucket for Ye Yunfu, whose net worth was now in the tens figures. He immediately stated that he would go to inspect the house and pay the balance directly if there was no problem.

Ye Yunfu, who had seen the world, actually guessed that there was something fishy about the 30,000 yuan, but rather than worrying about the money, she valued the quality of her new house more.

As long as there is no fraud in materials and workmanship, a 10% increase in the budget is not unacceptable.

"Jing Ke, I'll leave the acceptance to you." The novice in decoration chose Jing Ke, who was formerly a system, to help.

Jing Ke held his girlfriend's hand and walked around the room. When he saw the bathtub in the bathroom that was big enough for two people to take a bath together, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"If the full score is 100, I can give it 85 points. There is no problem with the workmanship and materials of the hard decoration. Just move the new furniture in and ask the cleaning staff to clean it up." Jing Ke gave a truthful answer.

"Okay, then I'll transfer the balance to the designer." Ye Yunfu didn't waste any time. After confirming the account, he transferred the money smoothly.

It took half a day to choose and buy furniture, and another half a day to install it at home.

The cleaning lady who was originally scheduled to come to clean the house did not show up. The extremely diligent Jing Ke took on the task of cleaning the four-piece set by herself. She first washed it and then dried it. She successfully cleaned up the bedroom before dark.

"Jing Ke, there are only two of us living here. Why do you need to wash two sets of sheets? Do you want Yunshu to live here too?" Ye Yunfu asked while slurping noodles, not knowing what was going on.

This bowl of noodles was made by Jing Ke in the new kitchen. It took less than half an hour, but it tasted great.

"No, I just thought it would come in handy one day." Jing Ke said. After seeing his girlfriend finish the fried egg, he put the one in his bowl into hers.

"Eat more to replenish your energy." Jing Ke said.

"You should eat more. You did most of the work today. I just sorted out our things." Ye Yunfu picked up the fried egg and fed it directly into Jing Ke's mouth.

Ye Yunfu: "Thank you for your hard work. Let Sang Yu help out at the coffee shop tomorrow. We will have a good rest at home for a day and prepare to meet Director Qin the day after tomorrow."

"Rest at home tomorrow? It's okay to sleep all day?" Jing Ke asked with puffed cheeks, biting the fried egg.

"Yeah, just rest at home and watch TV." Ye Yunfu nodded in agreement. He had been busy for almost half a month, so taking a day off was not too much.

…

What Ye Yunfu understood as a good rest for a day was pure rest, the kind that involves lying at home for a whole day like a salted fish.

Although Ye Yunfu is also lying down now, there seems to be a slight difference between lying down voluntarily and lying down under duress?

Ye Yunfu began to think, and after seeing that the sheets were changed after sleeping for one night, he finally reacted with a delayed reaction.

Did Jing Ke have been thinking about me for so long? She wouldn't have planned everything from the moment I said I wanted to inspect the new house!

After thinking about this, Ye Yunfu couldn't help but grit his teeth and reached out to rub his waist.

Damn it! They didn't even give me any time to prepare! They caught me completely off guard!

If God gave her another chance, she would definitely choose to have a good rest the day before!

This way, I won’t be confused by a simple deep kiss after taking a shower.

She wouldn't realize what Jing Ke wanted to do to her until her smooth back touched the bed, and then be severely controlled by him!

"Yunfu, I want to take a step further with you, is that okay?" Jing Ke's words when she was lying on top of him last night came to his mind again.

What followed was a memory filled with charming smells and joyful sounds, which made Ye Yunfu, who was lying on the bed, blush when he thought about it.

As the saying goes, what you think will come true. When Ye Yunfu was reminiscing with a red face, Jing Ke knocked on the bedroom door and walked in with a bowl of preserved egg and thin porridge.

Jing Ke: "Yunfu, you're awake. How do you feel? Do you need me to give you... a massage?"

"No, no need, my waist isn't sore anymore!" Ye Yunfu said, and quickly sat up from the bed, "You don't have to bring it in, I can get up and go outside."

Ye Yunfu's face flushed, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Jing Ke's neck.

After seeing the densely packed red marks left by himself, Ye Yunfu couldn't help but licking his lips.

Ye Yunfu was a little annoyed by the passive experience throughout last night, but she had to admit that she actually liked that feeling. It was just like that.

After all, Jing Ke only intended to have a brief taste of it at first, and it was because he held the other person's neck tightly that he indulged himself for the third and fourth time.

"Really?" Jing Ke asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true!" The young Ye Yunfu was unwilling to admit defeat and stood up straight. "I've rested well. Jing Ke, wait for me outside!"

Jing Ke pursed his lips, deciding to pretend that he couldn't see his girlfriend's slightly trembling body. He nodded obediently and went back outside with the preserved egg and thin porridge.

The moment the door closed, Ye Yunfu couldn't help but grin and bend over.

After tapping his lower back several times with the back of his hand, Ye Yunfu straightened his back again and slowly went to the bathroom to wash up in his slippers.

Ten minutes later, Ye Yunfu came out after washing up, took steady steps, and sat down at the dining table.

Jing Ke pretended not to notice anything and handed over a large bowl of preserved egg porridge and a spoon with a normal expression, "It's still a little hot, just right to eat slowly."

"Okay, I know." Ye Yunfu took the spoon and steadily put half a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

Jing Ke asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"

What answered Jing Ke was Ye Yunfu's action of putting the second spoonful of porridge into her mouth and the thumbs up of her left hand.

"Good!" Ye Yunfu said vaguely.

Jing Ke's eyebrows softened: "Eat slowly, there is still half of it in the casserole."

Ye Yunfu nodded, rubbing his hands secretly while eating the porridge, and when he saw that she was still holding the spoon steadily, a small question mark appeared in his eyes.

What's going on? I clearly checked it online on my phone when I woke up.

In a lesbian couple, if one of them has a backache due to something like that, the other one will probably have trembling hands!

Four times last night, that's almost two hours, right? Could it be that Jing Ke's hands are operating mechanically? How come there aren't any signs of overuse?

"Want to try what's in my bowl?" Jing Ke asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, I just want you to eat more." Ye Yunfu coughed lightly, trying hard to suppress his desire to win that came out of nowhere.

"I will." Jing Ke responded with a smile.

"By the way, Director Qin asked me to meet him tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to go with me?" Ye Yunfu changed the subject.

Jing Ke: "Of course, I will always be by your side."

Ye Yunfu bit the spoon and said, "In that case, tonight, you can't do that to me..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you without your permission." Jing Ke said.

Jing Ke is a sensible person. If he does it four times in the first attempt, it would be a bit too stimulating, so Jing Ke will give his girlfriend enough rest time before making the next attempt.

But as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Jing Ke obeyed and did nothing but a normal goodnight kiss.

But Ye Yunfu, who felt she had recovered after lying down for a day, didn't seem to want to just sleep. After turning off the lights, she began to move around, and awkwardly tore off Jing Ke's clothes.

Jing Ke raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and just lay on the bed, allowing the unyielding Ye Yunfu to continue.

"Jing Ke, can I do it?" Ye Yunfu asked a similar question in a similar posture.

"Of course, but you have to meet Director Qin tomorrow, so we can finish early." Jing Ke said, unable to suppress the joy in her tone.

A girlfriend who refuses to give up is so cute. Does she also want her legs to be so weak that she falls flat on the bed when she tries to get up for the first time tomorrow?

But my girlfriend's physical strength and endurance seem to be inferior to mine. Should I take the initiative to cooperate with her?

Some strange thoughts popped up in Jing Ke's head. It was not until his lips touched the warmth of something that he put aside all thoughts and concentrated on experiencing the feelings brought by his girlfriend.

-

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Ye Yunfu and Jing Ke appeared in Director Qin's studio.

Ye Yunfu appears as an investor and scriptwriter, while Jing Ke appears as an investor's assistant.

Director Qin's studio wasn't very big. When they met, there were less than ten people in Director Qin's office. The employees all looked very young, and when they saw Ye Yunfu and Jing Ke coming, they couldn't wait to come over and greet them.

"Excuse me, because this is an attempt at a new subject, so I brought here relatively young people. Their ideas are more active and will not be affected by so-called experience." Director Qin explained and invited the two into his small office.

Ye Yunfu nodded to show his understanding, and after a brief greeting, he began to talk about business.

However, Ye Yunfu was only responsible for the conversation, while Jing Ke, his assistant, was responsible for the detailed summary. Jing Ke needed to write down the important parts of the conversation at a very fast speed.

Why is it Jing Ke who takes notes?

Of course, it was because a certain investor noticed the discrepancies in the world and realized that the people online were not lying. The consequence of showing off at night was that his hands were shaking even when he held chopsticks the next day = =

Director Qin didn't think there was anything wrong with his assistant taking the minutes. As he wrote, he asked, "Mr. Ye, I've been following your series. Is the plot already in its later stages?"

"Almost. It should be finished by the end of August." Ye Yunfu said.

Director Qin: "Mr. Ye, I have an idea. Since we are planning to shoot a TV series with a different theme, why not adopt a simultaneous filming and broadcasting method? After finalizing the outline, we can write the preliminary script first and start the preliminary filming."

Ye Yunfu crossed his fingers and placed them on his legs. "This method doesn't seem to be very common in the country?"

"Yes, but the cost of trial and error will be lower, and there will be more actors interested in it," Director Qin explained.

The minimum word count of "The Female Emperor's Teacher" is around 700,000, which is not long among works with infrastructure attributes.

However, it involves the origins and operating principles of many items. If you want to present it in the form of a film or TV series, the total number of episodes will be very long.

Given the length of the series and Director Qin's pursuit of excellence, the total filming time could be a year or even longer. Such a schedule wouldn't be possible for even second- or third-tier artists, let alone first-tier stars.

If all newcomers are used, the disadvantages are obvious, that is, their acting skills need to be trained, which makes promotion and marketing more difficult.

If the show is filmed and broadcast simultaneously, the cost of trial and error is relatively low for both the crew and the artists. As long as the remuneration is appropriate, young actresses with both acting skills and popularity can be invited to participate.

If the initial response is good, maybe some first-line stars will take the initiative to join in the later stage. At that time, only a small amount of pay will be needed to gain a large amount of traffic and attention.

Director Qin didn't know how much Ye Yunfu knew about the entertainment industry, so he was extremely detailed in his explanation.

"I understand Director Qin's concerns, and I don't object to his proposal." Ye Yunfu, who is still an outsider in the industry, chose to trust Director Qin. "But I have a small request. I hope to participate in the casting and have a veto power."

"Of course, Mr. Ye, you are my investor and the original author of the story. Your opinion on the selection of the main characters is extremely important to me." Director Qin agreed immediately.

Many investors just directly insert people into the cast, and Ye Yunfu just wants to select the actors with him. This request is not excessive at all.

"Mr. Ye, if there are no problems, how about we schedule the casting after Mr. Ye finishes the script?" Director Qin asked. "The casting will be in September, and filming will begin in mid-October. If all goes well, we can try to release the first part during the winter break."

Ye Yunfu calculated the time in his mind. The first part of the script was only about 100,000 words, and there were two professional editors helping him. Two months was enough for him to finalize it.

After confirming that it was feasible, Ye Yunfu nodded in agreement, "Okay, then it's settled. I will hurry up and finish the manuscript, and then focus on the script and casting."

"Mr. Ye, it's a pleasure to work with you." Director Qin stood up and extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Ye Yunfu stood up, shook his hand briefly, and then quickly released it, not giving Director Qin a chance to notice that his hands were shaking.
