Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Spending Money Day 43
If Sang Yu compromised so easily, she could just resign and go home.
Without even looking at the person behind the door, she simply said to the boss, "We paid for the entire place, and we don't want to be disturbed by anyone. I haven't even bothered to complain about the noise at the door, which might disturb our enjoyment, and yet you're making this request of me. It's both morally and logically inappropriate, isn't it?"
"I don't agree to let anyone else in. Don't forget we signed an electronic contract. During my private time, this place can only accommodate us. How to coordinate with other customers is your problem to solve."
Sang Yu's attitude was very firm, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not laughing, which made people instinctively feel that he was not someone to be messed with.
She was not polite at all, but the boss really didn't dare to do anything to her.
If a few girls hang out together, if he is a little aggressive, the other party will think about how to endure it and try not to have a conflict. As long as he doesn't go too far, the matter will pass by in a muddle.
But the person in front of him was different. Sang Yu gave him the intuition that if he dared to be fierce, the other party would be more fierce than him. She was not afraid of anything.
This is not a soft persimmon, it is a hard rock that will cause you to break your head and bleed.
He chuckled a few times, then said to the production crew at the door with a bitter face, "I'm really sorry, we didn't communicate well internally. This afternoon's time slot has been reserved, and the customers don't want to be disturbed..."
Zhou Tianxin was very troubled. She had never expected that the tie-dyeing venue could be “booked out”. Who was so generous?
If it were just her and a few colleagues today, it wouldn't matter if they came later. But something had gone wrong with the show's pre-production, leaving her on a tight schedule. She had to work overtime during the Spring Festival holiday and bring the crew to scout locations.
There are many things to consider when deciding whether a certain location can be used as a variety show filming location. This time, she specially asked someone to bring all the equipment with her, and was going to go through the lighting and other things so that she could submit the plan when she returned. But now she was stopped at the door and couldn't get in?
Zhou Tianxin walked around the tie-dye boss and walked towards Sang Yu with a forced smile.
She first introduced herself and explained her purpose, not forgetting to throw in a few compliments for Sang Yu. Although she didn't know the other person, it was always a good idea to compliment someone's appearance and temperament.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Zhou Tianxin was polite to the extreme and kept a low profile throughout the whole process.
She promised that they would be given priority to use all the dye vats and drying areas, and the boss would give priority to cooperating with their work processes. Her team only needed to set up a machine, record the environment, and then shoot a version of the material.
Sang Yu said that this is what should be done.
Zhou Tianxin was choked, but she still maintained a smile and asked her to be flexible in soft words.
Given her position, she rarely had to ask for help like this, but the situation was stronger than she was, so what else could she do?
When Sang Yu heard that it was a variety show on Tencent Video, his expression changed slightly.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Tianxin suddenly thought of something. No wonder she was guarding here and not letting anyone in. Could it be that...
No wonder she said Sang Yu looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere!
Zhou Tianxin lowered her voice and said, "We're all workers, so let's not make things difficult for each other. I'll be quick here. Please ask the person who can't be exposed to step aside. Let's make it easier for both of us. I owe you a favor."
Sang Yu didn't understand and was stunned for a moment before reacting. Zhou Tianxin thought the person inside was a celebrity who was taking her sister-in-law/brother-in-law on a date, so she wanted to rent out the place and not allow anyone else in.
She shook her head: "You misunderstood, we are not from the entertainment industry, we just don't want to be disturbed."
Is that so? Zhou Tianxin was very distressed and could only settle for the next best thing:
"Then my team won't go in. I'll be the only one going in. I'll just go in to see the scenery and take some pictures. Is that okay?"
Sang Yu saw through her inner thoughts - she felt that she was not the one who really made the decision. If she could meet the person who played tie-dye inside, maybe there would be room for negotiation.
After considering it, Sang Yu finally nodded.
After all, Wen Huiyi had been working on this project since the New Year, and Qiao Yi was also a regular guest. Based on these two points, Liu Yue wouldn't mind talking to her.
Sure enough, after Zhou Tianxin entered, she quickly headed straight for Liu Yue. However, she failed to get close to her and was frightened by the man who suddenly stood up next to her and took two steps back.
Zhou Tianxin swallowed nervously: "I'm an employee of Tencent, I just want to discuss the venue..."
When she heard the word Tencent, Liu Yue raised her head.
When the two looked at each other, they both felt that the other looked a little familiar.
"You're the one..." Zhou Tianxin blurted out, "You bought the Herbag Glacier White that I reserved!"
After she finished speaking, Zhou Tianxin immediately regretted it. Although she was upset about this matter, she also knew that the dessert bag could not be kept. If it wasn't her, then someone else might have bought it. It was her own fault for not catching up.
But after saying this, it seemed as if she was blaming the other person.
She quickly apologized, which made Liu Yue feel a little embarrassed.
"It's okay." Liu Yue said, "To be honest, if I had known you had made a reservation, I wouldn't have bought it."
After all, she doesn't like Hermès very much and only regards it as one of the ways to spend money, but she can understand people who like it very much and are very eager to own Hermès.
Zhou Tianxin couldn't help but ask again: "Then can you sell it to me? I can also take all your matching goods."
Liu Yue: "...Uh, no."
She looked at Zhou Tianxin with a strange look in her eyes: "So you recognized my assistant at the door and came in to ask me about Hermès?"
Oh my god, she is really obsessed with that herbag!
“No, no…”
Zhou Tianxin quickly brought the topic back to today's business and briefly stated her demands.
In fact, if she hadn't told her, Liu Yue wouldn't have realized that the entire place was booked out. She would have thought that the tie-dye shop was just deserted.
This kind of quiet environment is really good. If we let them in to set up the machines, there will definitely be a huge crowd of people. If everyone says a few words, it will be more lively here than a vegetable market.
However, as a frequent watcher of variety shows, she is quite curious about the preliminary preparations for variety shows.
She didn't come here for tie-dyeing itself, so if there was something more fun, it was not impossible to discuss it.
Seeing Liu Yue's hesitation, Sang Yu knew her inclination.
She suddenly asked Zhou Tianxin: "Who are the guests for your variety show?"
Sang Yu was actually asking a question even though he knew the answer. Zhou Tianxin had no idea what was going on, but he quickly got the meaning of this sentence and immediately reported the entire list of permanent and flying guests, even including several "proposed invitees".
She noticed that Liu Yue was obviously interested when Qiao Yi's name was mentioned.
There's a solution! Zhou Tianxin quickly said, "What a coincidence! Qiao Yi's birthday is next month. This year, Tencent will hold a birthday party for her, a fan meeting. My colleague is in charge of this project, and there are two internal seats in the first row..."
Anyway, this position is reserved for people with connections. If she doesn't take it, someone else will. Zhou Tianxin has no psychological burden.
Birthday party, sounds great.
Liu Yue agreed, and she and Zhou Tianxin added each other on WeChat.
However, Liu Yue had another condition: if they were allowed in, she would not pay for the private booking fee.
After all, these customers were contacted by the boss's son, and they were already at the door. Liu Yue agreed now, which was somewhat due to social etiquette.
Since she didn't get the best experience, she certainly didn't want to pay extra. She has money, but she's not generous to everyone.
The boss got anxious when he heard this. He said, "Miss Liu, you agreed to let them in!"
"That's why we didn't ask you for liquidated damages." Sang Yu reminded from the side.
"Right." Liu Yue nodded. "The purpose of booking the whole place is to avoid being disturbed. They were already disturbing me at the door. If you can resolve this quickly, I can pretend I didn't hear anything."
"But you obviously don't have the ability to solve the problem. In the end, I had to negotiate with the other party. Since you can't provide value-added services, I will only pay for the tie-dyeing."
The boss was still yelling about what tickets she had for a meet-and-greet, how his son had received other guests without his knowledge, and how he had turned away many other guests in order to take her order, etc., but Liu Yue turned a deaf ear to him and just focused on the task at hand.
After all, Zhang Cheng was standing next to her. The boss was quite loud at first, but now he has calmed down.
Liu Yue didn't bother to care whether they really didn't coordinate well or did it on purpose. She had already made the reason very clear above. They didn't have the ability to provide private dining services, so she wouldn't charge extra.
Seeing the stalemate, Zhou Tianxin became anxious. She couldn't afford to waste time.
Between persuading Liu Yue and persuading the boss, she decisively chose the latter.
She first promised her boss how much attention the show would receive and how much it would become a hit, and emphasized that if there were any further delays, she would move to another venue. She also vaguely assured him that the show's charter fees would be covered by the production team, who could then just find a name to claim them.
After hearing this, the boss felt that the money was not lost and the publicity could be done. In fact, he was making a profit, so he accepted it.
Sang Yu looked at him meaningfully. This boss knew nothing about the working procedures of a large factory.
While Zhou Tianxin has agreed to pay the private screening fee, she may not be responsible for subsequent expenses. She cannot possibly cover the costs herself, and expenses like celebrity appearance fees and program props take a much higher priority than the private screening fee.
So, if he wants to get the money, he has to wait, from the time the show is filmed to the time it is broadcast. If the show does not meet expectations and the project team does not receive the final payment... then it is hard to say.
——He is not willing to make ready-made money, and insists on thinking about "appearing on the show to attract traffic". Then it depends on his luck.
Tie-dyed clothes still need some time to dry. The waiting time will vary depending on the raw materials and the material of the clothes.
Sang Yu and the boss agreed that some of the clothes would be delivered to the B&B and some would be sent directly to Shenzhen.
She didn't need to emphasize that the boss would also treat Liu Yue's tie-dye works with care. After all, his tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong had been fully demonstrated just now.
If you are polite, he will think you are easy to control; if you are tough, he will be respectful to you instead.
Liu Yue had originally wanted to buy more tie-dye items, since she only had three colors and a limited selection. However, Dali was teeming with tie-dye shops, and the clothes were readily available. She didn't need to buy them here; there were many more options available.
The boss didn't know that a big order had passed him by. After Liu Yue left, he told Wen Huiyi about it.
Wen Huiyi said that Zhou Tianxin was not her direct superior, but what she said about being able to help Liu Yue get a spot at the birthday party was definitely true.
Liu Yue’s focus was not on the birthday party. She wasn’t sure whether she had the time or whether she would want to go. She was only worried about whether this incident would affect Wen Huiyi’s work.
After all, she had once snatched an Hermès bag from Zhou Tianxin, although she really didn't know it at the time...
Wen Huiyi: [No way! I'm the Arts Director, she can't control me.]
Moreover, Wen Huiyi felt that even if Zhou Tianxin could control her, she would not do anything to her.
At the same time, she would never let Liu Yue down and would definitely fulfill her promise and help her get the internal ticket to the birthday party.
Because she knew that Liu Yue was rich - based on this, her attitude towards Liu Yue must be that she had more friends and more paths. If she went back on her word and even made things difficult for her roommates in private, she would be aiming to make an enemy.
There is no doubt that the world is very friendly to the rich.
**
At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Yue appeared at the pub where Jian Yihe was performing as promised.
She came over after dinner, and Zhou Tianxin treated her to dinner.
Wen Huiyi's guess was correct; Zhou Tianxin really wanted to meet Liu Yue. Although they had met in Dali, Liu Yue was from Shenzhen, so perhaps there would be a time when she could ask for her help.
The two of them can be said to be "acquainted through fighting". Zhou Tianxin catered to Liu Yue's interests and talked about many topics related to Qiao Yi. She also mentioned a lot of new gossip in the entertainment industry, and Liu Yue listened with great interest.
At this time, Jian Yihe had not yet come on stage, so the two of them ordered a glass of wine first. Liu Yue asked Sang Yu and Zhang Cheng if they wanted any, but they both shook their heads and declined.
Sang Yu ordered a glass of juice, but Zhang Cheng didn't even drink the water. In such situations, he had to stay with Liu Yue closely and minimize the number of bathroom visits.
Zhou Tianxin had already seen that Zhang Cheng was a bodyguard. To be honest, this was her first time to come into close contact with a rich man who traveled with bodyguards.
An idea struck her, and she asked Liu Yue, "Are you interested in a dating variety show? I have a new one coming up soon, and you could be a guest. There are lots of handsome guys there."
"Me, love?"
Liu Yue pointed at herself and said incredulously, "I'm from Shenzhen University. Don't all of you who are involved in dating shows start from a 985 university?"
"Oh, it's not as exaggerated as netizens say. You have many unique and shining qualities."
For example, she's rich—and not just a little bit of it. Judging by her pomp and presence, she looks like a real wealthy lady. Inviting her to appear on a show can both ignite discussion and severely criticize competitors.
Zhou Tianxin tried to convince her: "Participating in a dating variety show can bring you traffic, which in the era of self-media can be immediately monetized. You only need to post a few updates, share some of the daily lives of wealthy people, and you can easily become a blogger."
It sounds easy, and it is.
But Liu Yue still shook her head: "Having traffic means a lot of attention, right? I don't want my every word and action to be magnified and discussed by netizens. That would mean I would lose my privacy."
You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to attract attention, you have to sacrifice and give up some of your freedom.
Of course you can make money by becoming an internet celebrity, but Liu Yue doesn’t lack this little money.
Zhou Tianxin still refuses to give up: "Even if it's not for traffic monetization, the experience of becoming a celebrity is great, and being loved by many people will also make you happier."
"But there are probably people who hate me, too." Liu Yue was very perceptive. "If someone compliments me, I'll be happy, but if someone scolds me, I'll be devastated."
Of course, Liu Yue only wanted to be praised and not scolded, but after the attention increased, these things were no longer under her control.
Having said that, Zhou Tianxin could only give up with regret.
She is indeed a young lady... The tens of millions of income of internet celebrities cannot impress her at all, and the attention brought by the spotlight cannot arouse her vanity, because her heart is rich enough.
As for handsome guys, since she is so rich, is she afraid that there won’t be any good-looking guys willing to throw themselves at her?
As long as she wants, not to mention male amateurs, even less famous male celebrities will be unable to resist being moved.
Zhou Tianxin stopped talking about this topic, but Liu Yue wanted to recommend Jian Yihe to her.
At this time, Jian Yihe also came on stage. Liu Yue waved to her, and she responded with the same enthusiasm.
"Do you have any music variety shows?" Liu Yue asked her. "This girl is called Jian Yihe. She sings very well! You can consider signing her as a singer."
Zhou Tianxin first took a look at Jian Yihe's appearance. He was good-looking but had no distinctive features.
Listening to her singing again, hmm...
Liu Yue thought her singing was good, but that was because she was an amateur. As long as it wasn't particularly bad and there wasn't a particularly obvious comparison, everything sounded good to her.
But Zhou Tianxin has actually participated in music variety show projects, so she can be considered a half-expert.
She listened to Jian Yihe's singing and she thought she was just an ordinary online singer. If she became famous, she would consider inviting her to the show; but if she was just an amateur, then with her singing skills, what could she bring to the show?
Therefore, Zhou Tianxin simply stated euphemistically that she is not currently responsible for this type of business.
Well...that's a shame.
Jian Yihe didn't know the inside story. After she finished singing a song, she came down to find Liu Yue very happily.
"Yueyue, I didn't expect you to bring a friend with you." Jian Yihe looked very excited. "That's great! There's another person in this world who has heard my songs!"
“It sounds great!”
Liu Yue clapped her hands vigorously, and Jian Yihe happily played the guitar and improvised a short piece for her.
Zhou Tianxin also gave him compliments out of courtesy. Jian Yihe smiled broadly at her and said thank you.
The smile was so bright that Zhou Tianxin was a little stunned. After she came to her senses, she quickly grabbed Jian Yihe's hand.
“Do you want more people to hear you sing?”
Zhou Tianxin invited her: "Would you like to participate in a dating variety show? You will become an Internet celebrity!"
Although her singing is average, her smile is extremely contagious!
Liu Yue: ...
Huh? Is that correct?
It sounds like it's OK, but the way this path is implemented is... so weird!
Jian Yihe and Zhou Tianxin did not reach an agreement on the spot. Zhou Tianxin's project is still to be launched, and there will be more options in the future. Jian Yihe also said that he wanted to consider it again.
She didn't rest for long before returning to the stage to sing again.
Liu Yue was very happy to hear this and ordered another cocktail recommended by the waiter.
Of course she knew that this was the wine with the highest profit and commission, but as long as she was happy, none of this mattered. She was also happy to support Jian Yihe, let the tavern see her strengths, and let her perform more often.
Liu Yue's dress is very flamboyant. Such a young, beautiful and generous girl is actually very eye-catching in the pub.
Two men walked towards Liu Yue laughing. They didn't think they had any bad intentions, they just wanted to get to know her and make friends.
But as they were about to get closer, a man came towards them.
He calmly stretched out his legs, causing one of the men to fall facedown. He pinned the other man's shoulders, causing his expression to contort under the terrifying force. The man was in excruciating pain and was about to curse, but when he met Zhang Cheng's warning gaze, he was so frightened that he dared not open his mouth.
This guy’s aura... is not easy to deal with, very difficult to deal with!
"Don't bother that girl."
Zhang Cheng released his shoulders, pushed him away, and pulled the man up from the ground. If you ignore how much strength he used, causing the man's arms to be out of his control, it would be a harmonious and friendly picture.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the two people opposite him calmly. Under his stare, the two people dared not act rashly and ran away in shame.
This incident did not cause any commotion until Zhang Cheng came back and sat down. Liu Yue, who was drinking and listening to music, didn't even know he had left his seat.
A good bodyguard will not deliberately show off in front of his employer, but will eliminate all dangers without disturbing her interest in traveling and having fun.
After all, as a protected person, she only needs to enjoy life happily.
**
On the third day in Yunnan, Liu Yue said goodbye to the friends she met in Dali and took a bus to Lijiang.
During the three-hour drive, Sang Yu and Zhang Cheng were both very concerned about her health. They stopped as they drove, enjoying the scenery along the way and letting her adapt to the environment. The final drive lasted five hours.
Perhaps because she had adapted, Liu Yue didn't experience severe altitude sickness again. She only felt a little dizzy when she arrived in Lijiang. She didn't even need oxygen; she overcame it with a little food.
Seeing that she was in good condition, Sang Yu confirmed that the hotel she would stay in tonight would be Jinmao Puxiu, and there was no need to stay in Hyatt.
Jinmao Puxiu is a hotel in the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area. It is located at a relatively high altitude, but is closer to the snow mountain. You can see the sun shining on the golden mountain just by opening your eyes on the balcony.
After entering the snow-capped mountain scenic area, Liu Yue still needed oxygen, but the view from this room was truly beautiful. Even though it wasn't sunrise, the snow-capped mountaintops were still magnificent, as if a pure force was purifying one's soul.
Liu Yue sighed, "It's already beautiful now. I wonder how beautiful it will be tomorrow when the sun shines on the Golden Mountain."
Sang Yu didn't want to spoil her fun, but in order to prevent her from having too high expectations and being too disappointed, he tactfully reminded her that the view of Rizhao Jinshan depends on the weather conditions and is largely accidental.
This is the limitation of money in the face of nature. No matter how rich Liu Yue is, she cannot control the unpredictable weather. There are still many things in the world that money cannot buy.
But it doesn’t matter—
Liu Yue stretched and said, "I can wait here. Until I see the most beautiful golden mountain in the sun, or until I get tired of it and don't want to see it anymore."
After all, no matter how expensive the rent of Jinmao Puxiu is, it is just a small amount of money in her eyes.
She has money and time; she has no worries and no pressure, so she can naturally spend her time doing nothing and patiently wait for the most beautiful scenery in nature.
All the itineraries and arrangements have only one purpose: to make her happy.
Wow, it feels so good to be rich!
