Chapter 262

Hearing this, Jiang Meishu fell silent. After a long while, she whispered, "Did Liang Rui come out?"

Liang Qiurun nodded. He stood downstairs and looked at the tall and thin young man going upstairs. He had grown from a little child to an adult.

Liang Qiurun was filled with emotion, "Liang Rui has grown up."

I have grown up literally, mentally, physically, and in age.

Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "He grows up, and we grow old."

This is the truth.

Upstairs, after Liang Rui carried his things up, his roommates, who had been quiet, looked over at him instantly. Liang Rui acted nonchalant and said, "My parents sent some butter chicken and roasted pigeon. Would you like to try them?"

Of course, this was just a polite remark, but as soon as Liang Rui finished speaking, several roommates immediately dropped their numbers and ran over.

"Thank you, Dad."

Liang Rui, "?"

Liang Rui felt a little uncomfortable, but since he had said he wanted to share, he put the food on the table and opened it. His hands were greasy, so he said, "You guys share. Just leave some for me."

He wants to take out the pager separately.

So as not to get it dirty.

However, when Liang Rui took out the pager, the small dormitory instantly fell silent. Chen Dongfang, who was originally tearing a chicken leg, couldn't help but ask, "Your family even bought you a pager?"

As we all know, pagers are very popular in Hong Kong now, but they are only limited to the upper class circles, because a pager that costs one thousand yuan is something that ordinary people have to look up to.

Even if you don't eat or drink for a year and can barely afford to buy it, you may not be able to use it, because people who have pagers will definitely make calls frequently, and the calls on Hong Kong phones are charged by the minute, which is not a communication method that ordinary people can use.

Even in Hong Kong, in the early 1980s, most people still used old-fashioned ways of communicating, such as writing letters, reading newspapers, and sending telegrams.

Liang Rui's classmates are no exception.

In response to their inquiry, Liang Rui hummed, "My family used their connections to buy a second-hand pager so that I could contact them."

He put the pager away casually, without any intention of showing off. As for what he meant by "second-hand", that is a matter of opinion.

It was Jiang Meishu who taught him to keep a low profile, but Liang Rui didn't know how to do it before. Now he understands this principle.

Chen Dongfang and the others exchanged glances. "Even if it's second-hand, at least your family can afford it. Unlike us, we can't even afford to call a public phone outside."

Liang Rui smiled and didn't respond. He just took the butter chicken and started sharing it with everyone. "Eat it while it's hot."

This one sentence changed his classmates' minds and made them want to find out about his family background.

However, this meal brought Liang Rui and them closer. Originally, they treated Liang Rui with a certain degree of superiority because he was from the mainland.

After all, they all knew that the mainland was very poor, but after seeing Liang Rui's behavior, they became unsure.

It can only be said that Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun's move was just right for Liang Rui, who had just changed to a new environment.

Because it was night, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun could not cross the border again, so they rested in Xiangjiang's house for one night.

They were still living in the apartment reserved for Liang Rui. Coincidentally, when Chen Jinshan heard the noise, he thought Jiang Meishu was at home, so he ran over to Jiang Meishu with the script at night.

Liang Qiurun was still a little confused when he opened the door. After Chen Jinshan finished explaining his purpose, he frowned slightly and said, "Director Chen, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to read the script again."

Chen Jinshan, "That's perfect. I have to go to the filming site at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, so I only have time now. And I heard that Meilan is leaving tomorrow too, so doesn't that mean we only have time tonight?"

If you don't know what he said, you might think he was saying that a night of spring is worth a thousand gold.

Liang Qiurun's face darkened, but he couldn't resist Jiang Meishu calling him in, "Director Chen, come in. Let's finish this quickly and get some rest early."

Liang Qiurun, "..."

Liang Qiurun, who was supposed to go to the office, did not work. While Jiang Meishu and Chen Jinshan were discussing the script, he watched from the side.

right.

Do nothing, just stare.

Who asked these two to speak? It's really infuriating.

Chen Jinshan still felt uncomfortable. He tugged at his collar several times and always felt a chill on the back of his neck.

It's not expensive. Fortunately, the two of them had come to the end of their discussion, and Chen Jinshan had an idea in his mind. "Then we have the same idea. Let's go for this comedy."

"It's the Spring Festival season again, so we should watch something exciting and fun during the New Year."

Jiang Meishu hummed and yawned, "As for publicity, you should just follow the same process as before. When the filming starts, start releasing the news."

"Anyway, before the movie is released, the news about your movie should basically be known to everyone on the street to be considered qualified."

If it is put on the shelves quietly, it will be difficult to revive unless it becomes a hit.

Chen Jinshan held the script and said seriously, "I will."

"I've written down all the methods you used to promote the indenture contract. I've used two of them so far and they've worked pretty well. I plan to do the same for the third one."

Jiang Meishu hummed, no longer having the energy to answer. She yawned, and her eyes and eyebrows showed a hint of sleepiness.

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

Chen Jinshan stood up and said goodbye.

Jiang Meishu couldn't see him off, so Liang Qiurun went to see him off. When they got to the door, Liang Qiurun suddenly asked, "Director Chen, are you married?"

Chen Jinshan was stunned for a moment, and he said subconsciously, "That's not the case."

"I'm a non-marriage advocate."

He seemed to realize belatedly that Liang Qiurun did not seem to welcome him. Even after hearing Chen Jinshan say that he was a non-marriageist, Liang Qiurun did not let down his guard.

He simply said, "Next time if you want to read a script, try to do it during the day. This will be good for you and my Jiang Jiang."

This is the truth.

Chen Jinshan was a little confused, but seeing Liang Qiurun so serious, he nodded. Even after Liang Qiurun returned to his house and closed the door, he was still a little puzzled. "Choose daytime? Why choose daytime? Nighttime is when my inspiration flows. If I don't go to find Sister Jiang now, do I have to wait until daytime when there are more people around? How boring would that be?"

He works on scripts and films, so inspiration usually only comes late at night when everyone is asleep.

As for what Liang Qiurun said, Chen Jinshan didn't take it to heart. Of course, he just didn't have high emotional intelligence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a box office poison in Hong Kong and almost been banned by the industry.

After watching Chen Jinshan leave, Liang Qiurun went back. When he entered the bedroom, he saw Jiang Meishu sleeping on the pillow. He stared at her for a long time, then walked from the door to the bed and gently bit her lips.

"Jiang Jiang."

——You can only be mine.

Those belated possessive desires finally arrived.

*

When Jiang Meishu woke up again, she saw the gentle and peaceful Liang Qiurun, as if the aggressive and possessive Liang Qiurun from last night had not existed.

"Lao Liang, let's go back to Pengcheng today."

"After I get back, I'll ask Sister Wenjuan to come over and help me manage Xiaodongmen."

Liang Qiurun naturally agreed. The two of them moved quickly. When Jiang Meishu returned again, she looked at the low house and liked it more and felt more adapted to it.

She was born in this barren land.

So, no matter how prosperous Hong Kong is, she still likes this place.

It was only after they returned that they remembered something very important. Jiang Meishu asked cautiously, "Did we leave Jiahui behind in Hong Kong?"

Liang Qiurun was stunned for a moment, then pinched his brows. "I'll give him a call and ask him to come over as soon as possible."

It is conceivable how crazy Qiao Jiahui was after Liang Qiurun made this call. After a burst of outbursts, he returned to Pengcheng as quickly as possible.

However, as soon as he arrived, he was drafted by Jiang Meishu and was required to check in at Xiaodongmen almost every day. Of course, Jiang Meishu was no exception.

The busy schedule lasted until December before the New Year, when the construction site at Xiaodongmen finally started to pick up momentum, and the shopping mall-style building also made its debut.

Compared with Fugui Garden, which has already started to be sold to the public, the land in Xiaodongmen seems to be always a step behind, but Jiang Meishu is not in a hurry.

She just did her job step by step.

Under Li Wenjuan's management, the people in Xiaodongmen, from top to bottom, seemed to be much more well-behaved, including Qiao Jiahui, who was always inactive.

I also went to work every day.

By March 1981, the first phase of Fugui Garden next door had been sold out, while Jiang Meishu and her colleagues' Xiaodongmen had only just begun its slow renovation.

For this reason, the secretary who specially investigated the situation at Xiaodongmen also reported the situation to Li Chengdong, "Mr. Li, you asked me to keep an eye on Xiaodongmen the whole time, and I saw it all."

"The main structure of the house over there has just been completed, and even the cranes haven't been removed yet. I heard they've even hired a renovation team to do the work."

Secretary Xu said with a hint of contempt, "With their suicidal behavior, don't worry, Young Master Li, they are definitely no match for us."

"They will definitely go bankrupt within two years."

Who would want a house with such a weird shape?

No one will want it.

Li Chengdong smiled when he heard this, "Keep watching them."

He knew that Qiao Jiahui was a loser, but what about that couple?

Li Chengdong had grown up, and he was still a little wary of the couple.

At the Xiaodongmen construction site, Qiao Jiahui once again entered the first floor of the mall. Looking at the thousands of square meters of space, he felt a headache for the first time. "Sister-in-law, why did you build the first floor like this?"

Jiang Meishu looked at the architectural drawings and was very satisfied. "Let's proceed with the inspection accordingly. Also, let Master Yao's people start entering the site."

Facing Qiao Jiahui's question, she thought for a moment, "What do you think I am doing here?"

Qiao Jiahui didn't know. He shook his head and said, "This place is so strange and huge. Who can afford it?"

Whether buying or renting, it is a problem here.

Jiang Meishu said, "I'm not selling it, I'm just renting it out."

"But the prerequisite is to let Master Yao slowly decorate this place."

"Master Yao." Jiang Meishu handed him the blueprints. "If you agree to the renovation, then we'll create partitions of varying sizes, ranging from three to five square meters to around forty. We'll uniformly paint the walls white, and uniformly install crystal chandeliers for the ceiling lights."

She specially purchased this crystal chandelier from Hong Kong, and she bought a large batch of it. She planned to replace all the crystal chandeliers on the first floor with this kind of crystal chandeliers.

Master Yao was a little surprised. "Boss Jiang, if this house is sold to someone else, you'd be at a loss if you used such good materials to decorate it."

Jiang Meishu shook her head, "I won't sell it."

It's just that there is too much to say but I don't want to say it anymore.

Fortunately, Master Yao has always been a person who just likes to work and doesn't like to argue. He just does whatever the boss tells him to do.

After the renderings of the first floor decoration were ready, Jiang Meishu asked someone to take photos. In fact, she should have solicited investment earlier.

But unfortunately, no one has walked the path she is taking yet, and no one is willing to trust her, so she can only wait until the decoration is effective before taking pictures and advertising.

She also specially invited a famous old photographer in Pengcheng. One set of photos was used on the promotional leaflets, another set of photos was used in the Pengcheng Daily, and the third set was a video.

Jiang Meishu planned to broadcast a 45-second video on Pengcheng and Yangcheng TV stations during prime time.

After she finished listing all these plans, she circled the Pengcheng and Yangcheng TV stations, but she always felt that it was not enough.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that she didn't want to sleep, Liang Qiurun made her a cup of milk and handed it to her.

Jiang Meishu didn't hesitate. After finishing her drink, she turned to the circled area and asked Liang Qiurun, "Old Two, you said that Xiaodongmen Mall only put ads on Pengcheng and Yangcheng TV stations for external investment promotion, and didn't put them on CCTV-1. Do you think that's enough?"

Liang Qiurun didn't rush to answer, but asked her, "That depends on how you position Xiaodongmen Shopping Mall."

"If you plan to attract investment nationwide, you need to place advertisements on CCTV as well."

"But if you're limited to attracting investment internally, then the current advertising is definitely sufficient."

Jiang Meishu's eyes flashed with ambition, "Lao Liang, I want to attract investment from all over the country."

"It's been three or four years since the reform and opening up in the 1970s and 1980s. We should do something."

"Let more people know about Pengcheng and Xiaodongmen. So from this perspective, it's inevitable to place an ad on CCTV, right?"

Liang Qiurun hummed, "If you were to place an ad on CCTV, would you only promote the shopping mall in Xiaodongmen? Wouldn't you also promote the residential buildings in Xiaodongmen?"

At the Xiaodongmen construction site, the residential buildings are nearing completion. Although they have only developed the first phase, there are still five residential buildings, enough to accommodate more than 400 households.

Jiang Meishu shook her head. "I want to promote Xiaodongmen's investment promotion first. Once Xiaodongmen's investment promotion becomes popular, I won't need to advertise for residential buildings. The price will naturally rise."

This is killing two birds with one stone!
