After settling the house issue, Shi Jing temporarily put the matter aside. Jin Ye'an had her own arrangements for moving, and Shi Jing did not interfere.
After spending two days resolving Jin Yean's employment and residence issues, Shi Jing turned her attention to other matters.
The first thing, naturally, was the dinner appointment with Zhang Ningyuan.
Zhang Ningyuan and his girlfriend have been dating for some time, but they are both busy with their careers; his girlfriend is even more career-driven than him. Since they started dating, aside from some business partners, they haven't met many friends, and they've only seen their family members, who live far away in another country, through video calls.
Zhang Ningyuan had mentioned introducing the two of them during the summer vacation, but his girlfriend was away on a business trip at the time. Now he finally has the time.
The two sides agreed on a time and place to meet, which was chosen by Zhang Ningyuan, and Shi Jing arrived on time.
Zhang Ningyuan's girlfriend is a very beautiful and capable woman. She was very warm and generous when she met Shi Jing, and the meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests.
Zhang Ningyuan's girlfriend is named Du Banxia. She works at a financial bond company and is a very cheerful and capable woman. Shi Jing, after getting to know her, really likes her personality.
Because they clicked, and the other person was also keen to befriend them, their meeting left a very good impression on each other. She and Zhang Ningyuan had already built a good relationship over the years, and now, with their interests intertwined, they were even closer.
This dinner wasn't just a gathering of family and friends; the two also reached a consensus on their collaboration on "Moonlight Shadow." The total planned investment for "Moonlight Shadow" is 400 million yuan, with Ningyuan Investment planning to invest 200 million yuan. Ningyuan will also be responsible for the copyright and the filming and production team, naturally taking the lion's share. They plan to find two or three investors for the remaining 200 million yuan, and fill any gaps later.
Ningyuan's dramas have always been of good quality, and it's relatively easy to find investment opportunities. However, some investors like to interfere, and Ningyuan Investment has always been strict in this regard, which is why it's so troublesome.
Now that Ning Yuan had mentioned the investment amount, Shi Jing didn't stand on ceremony and immediately decided to invest 150 million. Of course, Shi Jing could have contributed all of it, but investing in projects was also a way to maintain relationships, and Ning Yuan didn't intend to let Shi Jing take it all.
Shi Jing understood the other party's purpose in doing so and did not try to gain anything more.
The overall production of this drama is very good; she just needs to keep an eye on things and prevent problematic actors from joining the cast.
Shi Jing and Rong Yu had arranged to go to the movies together, and early on the 3rd, Shi Jing received a message from Rong Yu. It turned out that Rong Yu's mentor had encountered some family troubles, and there was no one to take care of the children at home. As the mentor's favorite student, Rong Yu was asked to look after them.
Shi Jing didn't mind bringing a child, and their itinerary was relatively simple, with movies chosen that the child could also watch.
Shi Jing had nothing to do, so he met up with Rong Yu and the other person early in the morning.
The two met at a restaurant next to the mall. Rong Yu was sitting next to a little boy named Zhang Ziyu. In front of him was a glass of juice and a plate of fries. He was sitting obediently eating and looked clean and pretty.
Zhang Ziyu is just six years old this year. His parents are often away on business trips, so the child usually lives with his grandparents. Teacher Zhang is also busy with projects, so the child is mainly taken care of by his grandmother. Fortunately, there is also a nanny to take care of him daily, so the old lady's burden is not too heavy.
It was just a coincidence that the old lady's usual caregiver resigned and a new caregiver hadn't arrived yet when she accidentally twisted her leg, so Rong Yu was entrusted with the important task.
Fortunately, the child's father is on his way back, so Rongyu will only need to help take care of the child for the next couple of days.
The child was very well-behaved. When he saw Shi Jing, he greeted her obediently, and then played by himself on the side. He didn't need Rong Yu to worry about him at all.
Shi Jing sat down opposite the two, beckoned to the waiter to bring her a glass of juice, and then asked Rong about the child's grandmother.
"My teacher's wife is doing well, but she is quite old, and my teacher is worried about her, so he insisted that she be hospitalized for proper treatment."
"That's good."
Rongyu's teacher and his wife are now in their early sixties. Although they have enjoyed a comfortable and privileged life and are in good health, their physical condition is still not comparable to that of young people.
It's understandable that Teacher Zhang would be concerned and want to be cautious after the elderly couple has been together for so many years.
"The movie tickets are for the 3:15 PM showing, which will be right after dinner," Rong Yu briefly explained the schedule.
Several movies were released during the National Day holiday. In addition to thrilling action films, there were also animated films suitable for children. Rongyu chose such a film.
The film is set against a mythological backdrop, with both humor and emotional moments, making it suitable for all ages.
Two adults and one child went to see a movie and were still enjoying it. The child was thinking about the exciting plot of the movie and became much more lively.
Seeing that the children were happy, and since there were movie merchandise items for sale where they came from, Shi Jing asked them if they wanted anything.
The child shook his head, clearly because he wasn't familiar with Shi Jing and was too embarrassed to take her things.
Rong Yu noticed that the child was still a little reserved in front of Shi Jing, so he smiled and patted the child's head: "Little Yu, if you like anything, tell your brother and I'll buy it for you."
Zhang Ziyu is a well-behaved and obedient child. Rong Yu has been studying under Teacher Zhang for many years and has practically watched this child grow up. He's quite happy to buy the child a small gift or something.
