Chapter 164 The Fifth Store



It was noon in the Dawu Dynasty, and the phone showed seven in the morning.

Fu Chi usually came to the furry shop at about this time.

Lu Yao asked him to come directly.

The black Bugatti Veyron drove out of the villa area, and the familiar and monotonous scenery passed by. Fu Chi's face was numb and tired. He did not look forward to this so-called treatment. Everything around him made him feel exhausted.

Those experiences and memories kept torturing him, dragging his body, and became his nightmare.

He felt like he was falling into the mud, in a daze, but he finally chose not to forget.

Fu Chi's mentality was a little dark at this time.

The owner of the shopping street gave him two choices. For him, or for the owner, directly erasing the memory was a easier way.

For someone as emotionally unstable as him, the sooner the better.

But he chose option 2. He lived in pain and just wanted someone to accompany him.

Lu Yao hung up the phone, feeling pretty good.

The lobby manager of the cinema was coming.

System: […Will Fu Chi be willing to be the lobby manager? Ridiculous! ]

Lu Yao: "What's wrong with the lobby manager? Our cinema is so interesting, I guarantee he won't be able to move once he comes."

System: […You are talking nonsense. ]

Fu Chi is different from the Ji family. He is just a simple rich man. He is not as awed by ghosts and gods as the Ji family. Everyone thinks that the owner's wishful thinking will fail this time.

Ku Ba passed by and saw Lu Yao answering the phone. He stared at the phone and couldn't take his eyes off it. "Boss, what are you holding?"

Lu Yao raised his hand: "Ah, this? A cell phone."

Ku Ba was puzzled: "Cell phone?"

Lu Yao: "A communication tool. By the way, come over here and I'll take a picture of you."

Ku Ba was even more confused: "What is a picture?"

Lu Yao asked Ku Ba to find a random place to sit in the rest area. She picked out several angles to take pictures of him, then showed them to him: "Here, this is your photo."

Ku Ba took the phone in both hands, his eyes widened, and he was stunned. The person on the screen looked exactly like him: "This is... me?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, you want to dye your hair purple, I'll use your photo to simulate it first."

Ku Ba automatically filtered out the words he didn't understand, and looked at Lu Yao eagerly: "Boss, can you give me this photo?"

Lu Yao lowered his eyes to think, then nodded: "I can't give you the phone, but I can give you the photo. Tomorrow, I'll print a few for you."

Ku Ba didn't understand all this, but when he heard that the photo was okay, his eyes lit up, "Thank you, boss."

Fu Chi stood at the door of the cinema, and saw the decoration inside through the glass, as well as Lu Yao sitting in the lounge. He frowned slightly. This cinema had no business at all.

He walked up the steps, raised his hand and tapped the glass, and said loudly: "Lu Yao, I'm here."

Lu Yao looked up when he heard the voice, but didn't see Fu Chi. The door was full of people from the Dawu Dynasty coming in and out.

She stood up and walked over, closed a glass door, changed her mind, and opened it again.

The star gate had turned to the shopping street, and Fu Chi was standing outside the door.

"Come in." She said.

Fu Chi stepped into the cinema and heard a lot of noise. He turned around and looked behind him, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Outside the transparent glass, it was no longer the desolate and quiet old street of the shopping street, but a bluestone street that ran across, with quaint houses on both sides.

Pedestrians on the street, both men and women, all had long hair, wore coarse cloth gowns, and walked leisurely on the road.

Completely different from the specially built antique buildings in Hengdian, this street is full of a sense of reality and life that is hard to describe.

After seeing the furry shop, Fu Chi had already guessed about the world of movie theaters, but he never thought it would be in ancient times.

In such an era, is the owner really not afraid of being burned as an evil object by opening a movie theater?

Fu Chi didn't know that his appearance also shocked the people of the Dawu Dynasty.

He said he would take a look first, but thinking that it was a workplace, out of professional habit, Fu Chi still dressed more formally - a shirt and tie with a high-end suit, leather shoes, tie clips, and watches were all custom-made. Before

going out, he felt that his complexion was not good, his eyes were sunken and lifeless, and he had heavy dark circles, so he put on a pair of plain glasses with rose gold frames and gray lenses.

His attire was as eye-catching as Lu Yao's, and with his short hair and glasses, he really startled the movie theater's guests.

It's fine if the shopkeeper is just crazy, but why is there another weird man here?

Wan Baozhu dressed like a rich young man, wearing silk, a jade crown on her head, a pendant on her waist, and waving a folding fan in her hand, and walked into the movie theater calmly and leisurely.

Before she had time to observe the furnishings in the store, her eyes were attracted by Lu Yao and the man standing next to her.

The two of them were dressed strangely, but inexplicably coordinated.

Wan Baozhu felt that the two of them standing in this movie theater seemed to be more pleasing to the eye than the people around them, and she had an indescribable feeling.

Hongyu was also dressed in men's clothes, but she was dressed as a guard, and she had a short sword on her waist.

She followed Wan Baozhu's line of sight and squinted her eyes, but still couldn't see clearly. She took two steps forward silently and vaguely saw a thinly dressed man and woman standing together. She thought they had mistakenly entered a brothel, so she turned around and grabbed Wan Baozhu, "Master, let's go back!"

Wan Baozhu didn't move: "Interesting, really interesting. Let's go buy tickets first."

Hongyu couldn't disobey Wan Baozhu, and she turned around to buy tickets.

The tickets for the lunch show were sold out, so they bought the second and third shows in the afternoon, one each for "The World's Number One" and "The Little Chef of Shengjing". They

had to wait for nearly an hour, and Wan Baozhu didn't want to go anywhere else, so she found a seat in the lounge and sat down, watching trailers and commercials while eating the free popcorn.

Hongyu sat next to her, squinting her eyes, and could barely see the picture on the screen.

Lu Yao took Fu Chi around the theater, walked out of the hallway, and returned to the lounge. "Mr. Fu, how do you feel?"

Fu Chi looked sideways at the street outside the glass, and said with restraint: "Not bad."

"Then let's sign the contract first?" Lu Yao skillfully pulled out a stack of confidentiality agreements.

Fu Chi: "Do you still need to sign?"

Lu Yao: "The employee contract is not exactly the same as the customer contract. If you join the movie theater, you will need to sign a few more documents."

Fu Chi picked up the contract and looked through it. The position is lobby manager and the term of office is six months.

During this period, the salary and benefits are the same as other employees in the shopping street.

Fu Chi's lips curled slightly, wanting to laugh but holding back, "Six insurances and one housing fund, a monthly salary of six thousand?" Lu

Yao nodded: "To experience life, it must feel real."

Fu Chi couldn't help but chuckle, "This job is the least real place."

Having said that, Fu Chi lowered his head and signed the contract.

The contract was concluded, Lu Yao put away the contract, stood up and said: "Xiao Fu, let me introduce you to the other employees first."

Xiao Fu?

Fu Chi tapped the glass tabletop with his fingers and murmured in a low voice: "This title is quite new." When Xiao Fu suddenly

appeared in the cinema, Wen Jian, Zhu Zhu and Gou Zi were a little reserved.

Ku Ba looked at him calmly, pretending to be reserved as well. It was obvious that

this person was the same as the shopkeeper. He was dressed even weirder than the shopkeeper and was older than the shopkeeper. He looked very difficult to mess with.

After a brief introduction, Lu Yao left him alone.

Fu Chi was not as uninterested in this cinema as he appeared. As soon as the owner left, he wandered around and took the initiative to talk to the clerk.

Xiao Fu had been in the world of fame and fortune for many years, and his ability to observe words and expressions was not worse than Ji Zhixin. He had a very appropriate sense of proportion and quickly grasped the current operating status of the cinema.

This cinema had just opened not long ago and had only shown two films.

The people of Dawu Dynasty have accepted it well for the time being, and the store owner is not in danger of being caught and burned.

Fu Chi stood at the door of the cinema with his arms folded, looking into the distance. A small cluster of emotions quietly surged up, constantly stirring his heart, and he could hardly restrain it.

He couldn't imagine how the people here would react when documentaries, suspense films, science fiction films... various types of films were put on the big screen one by one?

It's unimaginable, so there is great expectation.

Fu Chi suddenly remembered that Ji Zhixin was busy with copyright issues recently. His stingy style made him a stingy person in the circle. Some people even suspected that the Ji family was going to go bankrupt. The small copyrights worth tens of millions were still being repeatedly procrastinated. It seemed that the store owner was short of funds, so Young Master Ji had to be frugal.

The movie theater opened in the ancient times seems to be getting more and more interesting.

Lu Yao stood behind the popcorn machine and observed a table of guests in the lounge.

"Those two guests at Table E are girls, right?" She typed into the system.

System: [...You can tell that? ]

Lu Yao: "...It would be strange if you can't tell."

Although the two people were wearing men's clothes, their skin was more delicate and fair than that of normal men in the Dawu Dynasty, especially the girl who looked like a young master. She had a small frame, red lips and white teeth, but her manners were dignified, hiding some of her girlish coquettishness.

Lu Yao looked for a while: "The female guard always squints her eyes. Is she nearsighted?"

System: [...I don't know. ]

It didn't bother to pay attention to the owner's strange focus.

Lu Yao: "Did they buy tickets?"

System: [They bought two tickets. Wan Baozhu was also observing Lu Yao

. She heard everything that happened between the female storekeeper and the man. She

only had a vague understanding of what happened, so she memorized it all to check later.

At this time, the noon show was over, and the audience filed out of the theater.

About a cup of tea later, the radio announced that the guests for the second show should line up to check their tickets.

Many girls and ladies came to watch the movie with event tickets. They came together, checked their tickets in Lu Yao's hands, and entered the theater happily.

After this day, the cinema continued to hold a four-day free ticket event.

On the fifth day, the second premiere of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" was held. There was no free ticket event, but there were still quite a few female guests who were willing to buy tickets to watch the movie.

Lu Yao once again felt the urgency of having too few theaters, and prepared to choose a date to release the third film.

Originally, Ji Zhixin was negotiating with the fairy drama, but the price was too low and it was difficult to negotiate.

Lu Yao changed his mind temporarily and picked a new film.

This was a film adapted from a novel. It was first released as a drama version, and then as a movie version. It was a big hit that year.

Lu Yao was interested in the movie version, and coincidentally, the copyright of this film belonged to Fu Chi's company.

Fu Chi knew that the owner wanted to take the film to the theater for screening, so he directly opened the green channel.

Ji Zhixin was in charge of the copyright, and this time the process went very quickly, and the price was very affordable.

He couldn't help but teasing: "Xiao Fu, the lobby manager did a good job."

Fu Chi: "Xiao Xiao Ji, same here."

Ji Zhixin: "..."
