"Filming is nearing completion, and it's estimated that the movie will be released in about two months."
At this time, there was no need for the publicity and hype that we see in later years. As long as filming was completed, dubbing, and editing were finished, the film could be released.
After all, TV series and movies produced by Huaxia Film and Television are always in high demand by TV stations and cinemas, so they don't need to find their own way to release them.
"Director Long, thank you for your hard work."
Ruan Qiushui chatted with Director Long for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
"Sister Qiu, are we shooting a commercial?"
Ah Wei stood at the door and saw Ruan Qiushui hang up the phone, feeling somewhat curious.
He didn't intentionally eavesdrop on Ruan Qiushui's phone call; it's just that Qiushui's voice was a little loud, and the door wasn't closed, so he could easily hear it.
"Yes. This is our first makeup line for Sekkisei, so of course we need to promote it properly."
Previously, aside from product placements in TV dramas and movies, Snow White had never filmed such a formal advertisement.
Both factories were established with her hard work, so she couldn't keep focusing on Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory all the time; she also needed to pay more attention to Xueji (a skincare brand).
"Great! Our new makeup line is sure to be a huge hit."
Ah Wei rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat expectant.
This is the first time the Snow White series has filmed an advertisement, so we can't miss it.
"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."
Ruan Qiushui sent Awei away and then looked at Xueji's financial statements for the past three months.
Except for the first two months when performance declined slightly due to a surge in competitors, the performance remained relatively stable.
Ruan Qiushui rubbed her temples and kept watching until evening. She only went home after having dinner at the factory.
When Ruan Qiushui returned home, the aunt had already put the children to sleep.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so late?"
Gu Changshu and Gu Xiaoxiao returned home after get off work. Seeing that their third sister-in-law had not returned for a long time, they were worried and waited in the yard.
"There were too many things to deal with at the Snow Skin clinic, so it was a bit late."
Ruan Qiushui was feeling unwell and tired.
"Why aren't you asleep so late? Is something wrong?"
Ruan Qiushui looked at the two of them.
"Third sister-in-law, what exactly is Third Brother doing? He hasn't called back even once."
Gu Xiaoxiao was also worried about her third brother.
I wonder where my third brother went. Why hasn't he called to let me know he's safe?
"Don't worry, I already sent Zhou Yi to inquire about the situation this morning, and I believe we'll have results soon."
Ruan Qiushui was also worried about Gu Changfeng's safety.
However, he gave his instructions in such a hurry that day that Ruan Qiushui did not know where he went.
"Alright, everyone go to bed early."
Ruan Qiushui rubbed her shoulders, went back to her room to change her clothes, wash up, and go to bed.
…
On Gu Changfeng's side.
The incident happened suddenly. The liaison department of the transport team suddenly reported that a batch of goods destined for K City had overturned down a hillside along with the people and the vehicle on the way.
The four drivers died at the scene, and all the cargo in the two trucks disappeared.
The compensation for the goods is a small matter, but the death of a comrade is a big deal.
With their extensive driving experience, it's impossible for them to make such a fatal mistake.
Therefore, Gu Changfeng felt that this matter was not simple, but rather more like a deliberate act.
So he immediately led a team to K City to investigate.
It was noon.
Gu Changfeng and his group finally arrived at the place where the truck had overturned down the hillside.
"Boss, you're here."
Jin You had been waiting by the roadside for a while, and when he saw Gu Changfeng's car approaching, he quickly waved.
"Old Eight, stay here. The rest of you, get off the bus."
Gu Changfeng got out of the car first and came to Jin You's side.
"What were the results of your police investigation?"
Jin You was Gu Changfeng's former subordinate. After being awarded a third-class merit, he was transferred to the K City Public Security Bureau as a captain.
"They're all here."
Jin You handed the paper bag to Gu Changfeng.
Was the rollover an accident?
Seeing that all the signs pointed to an accident, Gu Changfeng's doubts deepened.
"What about the missing goods?"
If it was an accident, how could those goods have disappeared into thin air?
If the locals discover and loot it, there will always be traces left.
"The whereabouts of the goods have not yet been found."
“It rained all night on the night of the incident. All the traces near the truck were erased.”
Jin You also seemed a little annoyed at this point.
If it weren't for the rain, they would have found the goods long ago.
Such a large shipment definitely needs to be transported by truck.
"I understand, I'll go down and take a look."
After Gu Changfeng finished speaking, he approached the hillside.
"Boss, be careful."
Ah Si and Ah Liu followed behind, and when they saw Gu Changfeng reach the edge of the hillside, they reminded him.
"You guys take a look around the area and see if there's anything suspicious."
"Ah Si, Ah Liu, come down with me."
Gu Changfeng stepped on the rocks and moved down the hillside.
At this moment, the two trucks, which had been smashed beyond recognition, were still lying quietly at the foot of the hillside.
As for the remains of the four drivers, as arranged by Gu Changfeng, they have been transferred to the local public security bureau for further investigation into the cause of death.
Gu Changfeng climbed into the cabs of the two trucks and checked them, finding no signs of tampering with the brake pads or other parts.
This is consistent with what was written in the report.
"Have you made any discoveries over there?"
Gu Changfeng looked in the direction of A Si and A Liu.
"Boss, I found a lot of thick wooden sticks on that slope over there."
If it were just an ordinary wooden stick, there would be nothing suspicious about it.
However, all the sticks showed signs of being tied with rope, but the rope had disappeared.
If it were an ordinary farmer cutting firewood, why would they bundle up the perfectly good firewood and then throw it away?
Ah Si thought it would be better for the boss to go and take a look.
"I'll go take a look."
Gu Changfeng followed A Si forward and indeed saw many wooden sticks scattered in various places.
Gu Changfeng picked up a few sticks and examined them closely, and sure enough, he found something suspicious.
Ah Si and Ah Liu watched as their leader worked together, managing to piece together the wooden sticks into a ladder, with the rope binding marks perfectly aligned.
"But a few of them were broken, probably because they were slippery on the rainy night."
Gu Changfeng estimated the length of the ladder and looked around, considering the possibilities.
"Boss, there's a button in the crack of this rock."
Ah Liu made a discovery, picked up the button, and handed it to Gu Changfeng.
"These buttons are from the batch of goods we delivered."
Gu Changfeng examined it carefully and was quite certain.
Gu Changfeng was present when he took over this batch of goods.
To rule out the possibility of transporting contraband, he even boarded the vehicle and inspected it.
Among those goods, a batch of men's clothing had buttons like these.
"Boss, the appearance of this button further confirms the possibility of tampering."
Ah Si and Ah Liu, like Gu Changfeng, suspected that something was amiss.
This must have been accidentally left behind by the robbers when they were moving the goods.
