Chapter 778 This was snatched from Shen Ci's hands.
"Hello," Yang Guochun said with a smile, "You're very beautiful. Have you ever thought about making a movie?"
Qiu Keying smiled and looked at her father, Qiu Chu, who said, "Director Yang, don't tease her. My daughter has never suffered much since she was a child. Filming is so hard. If she really goes, she will only cause trouble for Director Yang. She will probably come back crying after two days."
Yang Guochun couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
Qiu Keying hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "I've seen many of Uncle Yang's movies. I didn't realize that you and my dad's company had collaborated before. I recognized you just now when I saw you chatting with someone from afar."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, I think Uncle Yang was having a pretty good time chatting just now."
Yang Guochun said with a smile, "I'm naturally happy to have just secured an investment."
Before anyone else could speak, he took the initiative to say, "I just finished filming a movie not long ago, and I was short of funds for post-production. Luckily, a friend introduced me to an investor, and he was very straightforward. He decided to invest a thousand yuan without hesitation."
Qiu Chu didn't take it seriously. It's very common for film and television projects to attract investment. The more funds there are, the better the production will be. Directors definitely hope for more investment.
But Qiu Keying seized the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Yang, why don't you ask my dad to invest?"
This question actually stumped Yang Guochun.
His smile froze on his face, and he glanced at Qiu Chu somewhat awkwardly.
Fortunately, Qiu Chu reacted quickly and explained for him: "When did our company ever get involved in the film and television industry?"
Yang Guochun chuckled twice and nodded in agreement: "Yes..."
“There’s a first time for everything. As long as we can make money, that’s fine.” Qiu Keying said earnestly, “Besides, a thousand yuan isn’t a lot. I’m sure Uncle Yang’s film will make money.”
Her words made Yang Guochun very happy.
That's how proud and arrogant people are; they like to be flattered, especially since Qiu Keying spoke so earnestly.
Qiu Chu smiled and nodded in agreement with his daughter, saying, "That's true. Director Yang, if you have any good projects next time, you can try to talk to me. Although I have no experience in the film and television industry, just like Keying said, it shouldn't be a mistake to invest with you."
"Oh, it would be great if Chairman Qiu were interested. I'll definitely do it next time."
Just when everyone thought the topic was over, Qiu Keying blurted out, "Why wait until next time? Let's do it this time!"
"Huh?" Yang Guochun was taken aback.
Qiu Chu looked at his daughter and said, "Your Uncle Yang has already made all the arrangements this time."
"That's just an 'agreement,' not a signed contract. Uncle Yang, you and my dad have worked together before, so you're old friends. It's better than you going to someone else and owing them a favor."
Qiu Keying was determined to snatch food from Shen Ci's mouth, and stubbornly said, "Dad, I want to invest in Uncle Yang. Consider the thousand yuan you give me as a loan, and I will pay you back when I make money."
"You...you're trying to get something for nothing, aren't you?" Qiu Chu said with a helpless smile.
Qiu Keying raised an eyebrow and insisted, "Anyway, I want to vote. Uncle Yang, what difference does it make who votes? You wouldn't even refuse to give my dad this much face, would you?"
In one sentence, Yang Guochun was put in a difficult position again.
"This..." He looked at Qiu Chu and asked hesitantly, "Chairman Qiu, is this child serious?"
Qiu Chu was at his wits' end with his daughter, and said helplessly, "She's always thinking up whatever comes to mind. If Director Yang isn't going to make things difficult, then let's just put this investment on Keying's head and let her experience what it's like to be an investor."
He's willing to spend a thousand yuan to make his daughter happy.
Moreover, it's not entirely nonsense; investing in Yang Guochun's projects will most likely result in profits.
My daughter is growing up, so it's a good idea to try investing in some projects.
Qiu Keying happily took her father's hand: "Thank you, Dad!"
Yang Guochun nodded: "Since Chairman Qiu has said so, I will certainly accept his favor. Just like your daughter said, we are old friends after all, and we will definitely have a better understanding and trust in each other."
As for Miss Shen, it was indeed just a verbal promise. He could just make up an excuse tomorrow and she wouldn't have any other thoughts.
The happiest person was Qiu Keying, as she had snatched this from Shen Ci's hands.
She was going to tell Li Xiao the good news when she got home that night, and he would be very happy to hear it.
Shen Ci had no idea what happened next. She and Su Zheyuan drank one cup after another, having a great time.
Around 8 p.m., a staff member pushed out a huge five-tiered cake, and people in the courtyard immediately gathered around it.
Master Yu finally made his appearance at this moment. He was helped out of the villa by Wan Hu, and applause immediately broke out in the room.
Master Yu smiled and nodded to everyone before walking to the cake cart and standing in front of it.
"I'm so grateful for your presence today. I don't know how many more times I'll be able to enjoy this kind of lively atmosphere. Thank you all for your kind invitation."
Master Yu spoke in a very gentle and mild tone, but his voice was extremely powerful, and every word was clearly audible to the people present.
It is said that as people get older, they become worse year by year.
But seeing Master Yu's condition, everyone's respect for him only deepened. He hadn't changed at all from a few years ago, and even seemed to have become much stronger and more robust.
The path to immortality is not about dragging along a crippled and sickly body, barely surviving.
Instead, one should be like Master Yu to truly be considered immortal.
Therefore, everyone who can attend Master Yu's birthday celebration will definitely come every year, and the following activities are also a fixed program every year.
Each year, only one candle is lit on the cake for Master Yu's birthday celebration, and the person who lights the candle is someone chosen by Master Yu randomly on-site each year.
People say that the candles on Master Yu's cake are longevity lamps, and that those who light them will have good luck.
Shen Ci was participating for the first time, so she was unaware of this, and she was completely confused when Master Yu waved to her.
"Child, come here."
Master Yu smiled kindly and waved to Chen Ci.
All eyes immediately turned to Shen Ci, and Su Zheyuan jumped up excitedly: "Ah Ci, it's you! Hurry, hurry!"
Shen Ci blinked in confusion, almost as if Su Zheyuan had pushed her up.
"Hello, Master Yu, it's nice to see you again."
The moment he stepped forward, Shen Ci composed himself and respectfully offered his birthday wishes to Master Yu: "May you enjoy eternal happiness and live as long as the heavens."
Seeing this, Shen Jingjing and Jiang Yuanliang in the audience laughed. Jiang Yuanliang whispered a few words in Shen Jingjing's ear. Shen Jingjing stared in shock for a moment, and then looked excitedly at her daughter on the stage.
Meanwhile, Qiu Keying was so jealous that she kept biting her lip. How come she always gets all the good things?
How could Master Yu, with just a glance, pick her out from so many people to light the longevity lamp?
Why wasn't I chosen?!
