Chapter 247 The crew is stranded
The head office is in a tight spot right now, so Julie has no reason to be shy about what she says.
Zhang Yingtian reminded them, "If you want to do a financial audit, you have to do it as soon as possible. If the news gets out, I'm afraid someone will be impatient and try to get ahead of you."
If they can find a way to find Julie, then maybe others will have other ways. In short, the sooner this matter is done, the better.
Boss Yang nodded. "I'll arrange for the review team to come in right away. Xizi should also keep busy and have a lawyer draft a purchase contract. If there are no problems after the financial review, we'll sign the contract right away."
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Shen Ci couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yang, do you need my help?"
Boss Yang laughed and said, "Just prepare the money!"
Shen Ci also smiled when he heard this: “No problem, then I will just sit back and wait for news.”
Julie only had two drinks with a few people and left early after reaching a preliminary agreement.
As soon as she left, Zhang Yingtian couldn't help himself. After hesitating for a while, he tentatively asked, "Brother Xizi, do you agree with what I mentioned to you last time... about taking me with you?"
Chen Ci and Boss Yang ate in silence. Yan Wenxi glanced at Zhang Yingtian and said slowly, "Two hundred and seventy thousand is just enough for the three of us to split. Don't get involved with your little trick."
"But don't worry, I told you that if this thing works out, I'll definitely remember your contribution. If you need help in the future, I'll definitely return the favor."
"Brother Xizi, you are too polite. What's the point of talking about favors? This is the good news I specially prepared to apologize to you and Miss Shen Ci, not to ask for a favor from you." Zhang Yingtian was not angry. He spoke very nicely and his attitude remained respectful.
Yan Wenxi was not polite with him. Since Zhang Yingtian said so, he accepted it all. He nodded and picked up the wine glass: "Okay, let's have a drink."
Zhang Yingtian replied with a smile, which was somewhat bitter, but he was mentally prepared for this result.
First of all, the money I can come up with is really too little.
Secondly, he and Brother Xizi had not had a deep understanding, so it was understandable that the other party did not trust him.

Nanying Town, Jiyang City.
After Chen Li and his group landed, they were arranged by the crew to stay in a hotel in the town.
In a blink of an eye, we have been staying in the town for several days.
The filming location is in a village in the mountains around Nanying Town. The mountain road is difficult to travel on. It has rained intermittently for several days recently, so the crew cannot get in, and even the start date of filming has been delayed.
The hotel's old air-conditioning unit was humming, and if the air-conditioning was not turned on in the room on rainy days, the quilt would become damp.
Chen Li was sitting in a chair by the window, concentrating on reading the script. All external factors from this point on had no impact on her, but instead gave her more time to deeply understand and explore the role.
The cell phone beside me suddenly rang.
Chen Li glanced sideways and saw that it was a WeChat message. Before she could pick it up, several new messages popped up one after another.
She slowly put down the script and picked up her phone, unlocked it and saw that it was a picture message from Song Anyu.
There is a beautiful school facade.
There is a vast sea with a green surface.
There is also a photo of a beautiful beach under a red sunset.
The last photo is a group photo of six or seven young handsome men and beautiful women in school uniforms. The person holding a mobile phone in the front of the camera is Song Anyu himself.
Song Anyu's new drama has started filming. It is the same female lead script that was rejected by Chen Li. The filming location is in the beautiful coastal city of Min'an. The shooting environment is many times better than that here in Chen Li.
I think the whole shooting process must have been relaxing and enjoyable.
"Ari, we're on camera. Are you in the group? I don't know how the signal is over there. I wonder if you can get my message."
News about Song Anyu came soon after.
The two of them contacted each other occasionally, but not frequently. Most of the time, Song Anyu would take the initiative to send her messages, and Chen Li would reply politely when she saw them.
"Min-an is so beautiful, good luck with the start of the filming!"
After receiving Chen Li's reply, Song Anyu excitedly raised the corners of his lips, his fingers flying across the screen: "How are you doing over there? Are you still trapped in the town?"
"Yes, but according to the weather forecast, it will be sunny tomorrow. Once the mountain road dries up, we should be able to go into the mountains."
"Your group is going through a tough time. Who knows what kind of trouble you'll run into once you get to the mountains. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship, but thank you all the same."
Song Anyu sighed softly as he looked at the message on the screen. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was an invisible distance between him and Ali. Although Ali would reply to his messages every time, those messages were very polite, not even as warm as those between friends.
But he also knew a lot about Ali's character, she was a very polite person.
But he couldn't hide his disappointment in his heart. He really liked Chen Li, very much!
"An Yu!"
Xiaolong suddenly came over jogging, holding something in his hand. He handed it to Song Anyu directly: "Here you go, a new script."
"New script?" Song Anyu frowned in confusion. "The filming is about to start. Did they change the script?"
"No, the director said they only edited some things, like the kissing scenes." Xiaolong said casually, "Kissing scenes aren't allowed in high school dramas these days. They won't pass the censorship, so they've all been deleted. You can just take a look at it when you have time. The main plot is definitely unchanged."
Song Anyu nodded when he heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyun came back from buying some rice noodles. "Ali, eat them while they're hot! I asked the waiter, and they say they're especially delicious."
"Thank you. Have you and Apan-ge eaten yet?"
"Yes, A-Pan ate two big bowls. Since you like spicy food, I packed some extra chili oil. It's made by the store and it's really fragrant!"
As Xiaoyun spoke, she had already prepared everything for Chenli. The fragrance of rice noodles filled the entire house. Ali, who was not very hungry originally, suddenly felt her stomach choking.
Then Xiaoyun lowered her voice and said, "When I came here just now, I heard He Zixiao talking on the phone in his room, getting angry and saying he wanted to stop performing."
"Ah?" Chen Li was shocked as she held her chopsticks. "Strike? The contract should have been signed long ago, right?"
Xiaoyun nodded. "Of course he signed. He probably thought the conditions were too bad. I could hear him clearly complaining about the poor soundproofing in the hotel. He was complaining about how shabby the hotel was, spiders on the walls, and the spicy food. He couldn't handle it and had diarrhea."
Chen Li sighed: "This hotel is already the best hotel in town. The crew members are staying in smaller hotels with even worse conditions. Everyone should be considerate of each other."
