Chapter 171 The Fifth Store



Lu Yao was surprised by the task notification and didn't know how to complain for a moment.

The system waited for a long time, but she didn't respond, so it couldn't help but said: [Why doesn't the owner say anything? ]

Lu Yao: "What to say? Including this task upgrade, there are only three theaters in total. How can three theaters schedule ten films in a month? Besides, the funds, even if it is a low-cost copyright, it will cost at least 20 to 30 million. I'll be more urgent and speed up the process, and it can be completed. But can the people of Liangjing quickly accept the successive cultural shocks? It's all a problem."

System: [It has been confirmed that there is nothing wrong with this task. Since the type of business of the store is decided by the owner himself, the problems that arise during the operation process are also solved by the owner. The owner has already opened four stores. It would be impolite to ask such an unreasonable question. 】

Lu Yao: "..."

System: [Any more questions? 】

Lu Yao: "Since you can't solve my problem, what difference does it make whether you ask it or not? I just feel that as a dream-fulfilling system, you rarely talk about your wishes recently. What happened?"

System: [...No, instead of thinking about it, the owner should spend more time and energy on running the store. 】

Lu Yao frowned. The system is indeed a little different.

[Lu Yao's Trans-Time and Space Cinema is extremely popular and has been upgraded to a two-star store with +2 screening rooms. Please keep working hard, owner! 】

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow. Can't this be adjusted flexibly?

All the little tails are exposed.

She turned and walked out of the screening room, "I'll draw the drawings for you later for this upgrade. Please help me post some recruitment notices first."

The theater's current staff is barely enough. Once the upgrade is completed, more staff will be needed.

Lu Yao has always wanted to recruit cleaning staff, but has not found one yet. The cleaning of the theater will temporarily rely on a few staff members to take turns.

Due to the particularity of this era, the cleaners need to be one man and one woman. For

the expansion of the screening room this time, she also wants to recruit two employees to be responsible for ticket checking and guiding customers.

The system feedback has spread the recruitment information. Not only is there a notice posted at the entrance of the theater, but there is also a notice on the bulletin board of East City.

Lu Yao returned to the lounge to draw the upgrade drawings and handed them to the system after completion.

Everyone got the drawings, and the voice was hesitant: [I remember that this upgrade is for three screening rooms? 】

Lu Yao: "Indeed it is."

System: […Then what did you draw? Why seven? 】

Lu Yao: "I've thought about it. There will be ten new films released in the next month. Three theaters are not enough. Besides, this morning, you saw many girls wearing men's clothes to the theater. For us, the separation of men and women is not a problem, but for them it may be a matter of life and death.

"As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you want to retain these guests, you have to consider the plan from their perspective. My drawing seems to add seven theaters, but three of them are super mini theaters that can accommodate ten people, and one small hall that can accommodate twenty people. The remaining three are just two large theaters split into three, two small halls that can accommodate thirty people, and one middle hall that can accommodate forty people.

"After this upgrade, one show can accommodate 150 more guests. Directly upgrading three theaters will only increase the number of guests by 150. In fact, only three theaters have been expanded."

On the new blueprint, Lu Yao plans to divide the two new theaters into three smaller theaters, which will be expanded on the side of the theater, namely Hall 3, Hall 4, and Hall 5.

The other three mini theaters and a small hall will be expanded on the side of the lounge area, also divided into Halls 1, 2, 3, and 4, for guests who are not convenient to watch movies with others. Like the private rooms in restaurants and teahouses, they can be reserved in advance, and the price is slightly more expensive than ordinary theaters.

The system does not accept this upgrade plan and directly rejects it.

Lu Yao had expected that it would not be so smooth, and he was not in a hurry. "You said that the store management problems need to be solved by the store owner himself. I actively proposed solutions, but you are unwilling to cooperate. Whose problem is this?"

System: [...Swindler! You always cheat me! I don't want to be with you anymore!]

Lu Yao: "Discussing things, you act like a spoiled child when you can't agree. This is not the courtesy of a mature system."

The system was going crazy. This woman always found loopholes in the rules to mess with it.

He had just calculated secretly. According to her upgrade plan, it can indeed be implemented because the number of people has not increased.

But it doesn't want to obey her so easily.

The system took a breath and suppressed its anger and said: [This upgrade plan is too overbearing. The number of guests received has not changed, but the scale of the upgrade is completely different. Just for the screens, you need to add four extra ones. You also need to build a new toilet, fire prevention system, monitoring system, and safe passage on the side of the rest area. Don’t think I don’t understand! 】 Lu

Yao exhaled and said frustratedly: "You found all this. Have you taken smart drugs recently?"

The system was embarrassed: [Where can I find such drugs!!! Anyway, I won’t upgrade you! 】

Lu Yao scratched his head, looking very troubled, and hesitated for a long time: "This mission is indeed very difficult for me. The theater must be upgraded according to my ideas, otherwise, as the owner of a store, I always feel that I don't have the freedom I deserve."

System: [……]

The owner sighed weakly, and then said: "How about this, I will use part of the popularity points to offset the extra consumption of this upgrade, so that your hard work will not be in vain."

The system was somewhat tempted: [How much popularity points do you plan to pay? ]

Lu Yao blinked, "I don't quite understand, what do you think?"

System: [One million. ]

Lu Yao: "Two hundred thousand."

System: […I don't want to talk to you. ]

Lu Yao: "Then how about four hundred thousand? Any more would be impolite."

System: […Deal. ]

Lu Yao lowered his head and pursed his lips, so cute.

The theater upgrade will be carried out tonight, but this time the scale is very large, so some cover-up work has to be done. It may take six or seven days to open gradually.

The two premieres in the morning are both "Meeting You Again in the Time of Falling Flowers". The audience in the theater was silent.

The ladies had regretted very much before, thinking that they should not have come to the theater rashly, and now they were completely immersed in the plot.

The opening of the assassination in the bathroom was too explosive, and it almost instantly captured the minds of all the audience.

The next second, thunder and lightning struck, the candles in the room went out, and rain hit the banana leaves outside the window, dripping non-stop, and the atmosphere was gloomy and dark.

I don't know how long it took, and the sound of rain gradually stopped.

A small lamp illuminated the small space in front of Chen Jiu's desk.

The thin man in pajamas and the woman in black nightgown looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief and fear.

The hero Shen Xiangjun and the female assassin Hua Shi exchanged souls on this thunderstorm night.

Xie Wan sat in the corner, with Xie Xu beside him. The brother and sister reached into the popcorn bucket, forgetting the movements, staring straight at the screen in front of them, not daring to be distracted.

The body and soul really exchanged, and it happened in such a dramatic situation, right in front of us, with vivid and concrete images and emotions, without the need for imagination.

What will happen next?

I want to know immediately!

After a brief confrontation, Shen Xiangjun felt that there was a broken dagger on Hua Shi's waist, and immediately pulled it out and stabbed Hua Shi who occupied her body.

Hua Shi was quick-witted and jumped three steps away. He pulled out a long sword from the low table behind him and put it on his neck, "Don't move. I will be rude if you move again."

Shen Xiangjun: "..."

Shen Xiangjun slowly put down the dagger and felt stupid for preparing to attack the other party.

After the two of them tested each other with words many times, they sat down again and decided to calmly find a solution to the current dilemma.

They simulated the scene of soul exchange, trying to take the opportunity to get their bodies back, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Then Hua Shi mentioned that it was thundering outside when they exchanged souls, and maybe they had to wait until a thunderstorm to exchange them back.

The next day, Lord Shen, who never approached women, had a beautiful maid by his side.

This maid had a bad temper, a strange personality, and a poisonous mouth, but Lord Shen doted on her and got used to her.

The maids in the outer courtyard of the Shen Mansion were jealous and angry.

Soon, the maid named Hua Shi began to be bullied openly and covertly.

The people in the play did not know that it was Lord Shen who was wearing Hua Shi's skin in the play, and he mocked her with words and framed her maliciously.

People outside the play saw that "Hua Shi" was framed, bullied, and locked in the woodshed, and was rescued by "Lord Shen" who hurried back from the court. They were both amused and sad.

Those maids may never think that "Hua Shi" who was bullied and squeezed by them was actually the master they served. They were jealous and disgusted with Hua Shi until she was sold out.

Wan Baozhu came earlier and bought a seat at the back based on past experience.

Hongyu was waiting for an opportunity to enter the cinema, and she had not been here recently. Wanbaozhu was accompanied by her maid Cuizhu.

Cuizhu was very reluctant to come to the cinema at first, but she came with Wanbaozhu once and watched a show of "The Little Cook of Shengjing". After that, she looked forward to His Highness taking her out every day.

Maids usually have to serve their masters, unlike ordinary people who have the opportunity to play at any time. If

they want to leave the house, they must have a legitimate reason.

Even if they have a reason, they dare not stay outside for an hour or two without reason.

Wanbaozhu is not harsh to her servants, and Cuizhu's little thoughts can't be hidden from her, and sometimes it's quite interesting to watch.

When Cuizhu saw the maid making things difficult for "Hua Shi", she couldn't help but think of the days when she first entered the palace as a little maid, and her eyes were wet with tears.

This story is interesting, but it is also really cruel.

Later, when she saw that "Hua Shi" was rescued by "Lord Shen" who had returned, Cuizhu felt sad, but a smile rose at the corners of her mouth.

Lord Shen was carried out of the wood room by Hua Shi in a princess hug, which shocked everyone in the mansion.

Shen Xiangjun was a weak civil official, frail and sickly, with a perverse temper, and had offended many people in the court.

Hua Shi took over his body and often secretly exercised when he was out. Later, he became stronger than he was.

The two exchanged souls, and the originally unconventional plot was handled with full of humor.

This small incident caused some changes in the relationship between Shen Xiangjun and Hua Shi, and the laughter continued.

Lord Shen was known as the "cold-faced Yan Wang" among his colleagues, and he had few friends in the court.

Hua Shi used Lord Shen's body and identity to walk in the court, which made him more likable than Shen Xiangjun herself.

On this day, "Lord Shen" was out socializing, and his cheeks were red and his eyes were full of stars.

The servant came to report that the Lord's personal maid was suddenly seriously ill and couldn't get up.

"Lord Shen" was drunk and hurried back to the mansion under the meaningful eyes of his colleagues.

He entered the inner courtyard and went to the side room. He waved away the others and went into "Hua Shi's" bedroom alone.

At that time, "Hua Shi" was lying on the bed, his forehead and cheeks were full of sweat, and his lips were pale.

"Lord Shen" had not come close yet, but the smell of alcohol had already drifted over.

"Hua Shi" thought about how he was in so much pain in the mansion that his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't get up. This guy used his body to spend money and drink outside, and he hated it so much.

But "Hua Shi" was not sick, but had her period.

When the word "period" came out of the real Hua Shi's mouth, "Hua Shi" on the bed turned even paler, and the audience outside the screen felt the heat rushing from the soles of their feet to their heads.

The plot and lines of this movie are too high-end, and these contents are never mentioned lightly in their life concepts.

However, the high-energy plot continues. "Lord Shen" teaches "Hua Shi" how to use a menstrual belt and gives him hot water.

Late at night, "Hua Shi" was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep. "Lord Shen" lifted the quilt, reached out to help "Hua Shi" cover his stomach, and didn't leave all night.

In the theater, someone showed a puzzled expression, and after a moment, he realized that women's period was so painful.

Unconsciously, I also learned some physiological knowledge. It is best for women not to touch cold water during their menstrual period, not to overwork, and to be considerate of those with bad tempers.

Because it seems to really hurt.

On the screen, the two used each other's bodies to re-understand the world from a completely different perspective, and continued to try to exchange methods. Feelings accumulated unconsciously.

The prince of Jin sat in the row behind Xie Xu, his ears were red, and he glanced at Chen Yuning beside him from the corner of his eyes - this guy is too noisy.

Chen Yuning stared at the screen, his mind couldn't help but bring these hilarious plots into his mind, directly bringing the "Shen Xiangjun" who changed into a female body into some people he was not used to seeing on weekdays, even the Jin Wang Prince who was used to Sima face, the corners of his mouth were almost cracked to the back of his ears.

The person who came up with these plots was simply a genius!

After the "monthly period" incident, the atmosphere between Shen Xiangjun and Hua Shi became awkward, and the two began to deliberately avoid each other.

At this time, His Majesty's favorite princess saw "Lord Shen" at the banquet and was surprised to find that "he" seemed to have changed his personality. He was no longer a cold and icy person, but was more pleasing to the eye than before.

The princess's love was too heavy, and "Lord Shen" hid for a few days, but he couldn't bear it anymore. He had to find "Hua Shi" and ask him to think of a solution.

"Hua Shi" crossed his arms and said with a deep face: "Why do you think I was so unkind before?"

It was to avoid some unnecessary troubles. This guy ruined his image and attracted bees and butterflies everywhere. He was angry just thinking about it.

In the audience, Cuizhu secretly looked at Wan Baozhu's face.

Wan Baozhu's eyes were calm. She didn't laugh like other audiences because of the plot, but she didn't look angry either.

"Hua Shi" suggested to "Lord Shen" that he should act cold and icy again to annoy the princess.

After thinking about it, "Lord Shen" found an opportunity to talk to the princess alone at a dinner party, and expressed his attitude earnestly and sincerely.

The princess was heartbroken, but she did not pester him.

At that time, Hua Shi secretly said "I'm sorry" to Shen Xiangjun in his heart, which might affect his career.

Hua Shi later told Shen Xiangjun that this was the first time she was liked by someone, and although she borrowed his shell, she was very happy and did not want to treat him perfunctorily.

Lord Shen's eyes were dim and he remained silent for a long time.

Wan Baozhu raised her eyebrows, and there was some interest in her eyes.

This thing called "movie" always gives her some surprises.

It's interesting, really interesting.

As the plot gradually reaches its climax, Shen Xiangjun learns about Hua Shi's past.

She is an orphan whose parents died in a famine more than ten years ago.

Hua Shi wandered alone, and was later chased by mountain bandits, fell off a cliff, and nearly died.

She was rescued when she was unconscious, but was trained to be an assassin, and began to take on murder missions before she was ten years old.

In recent years, the court has been in turmoil, and natural disasters have continued, making people's lives more difficult.

One day, the person who adopted Hua Shi ran away with the money, leaving her and many half-raised refugee children behind.

These children were originally trained to be killers, and killing or starving to death was a simple choice.

But they lost even such a choice.

Hua Shi couldn't bear to see them walk the path she had walked, so she relied on the few connections she had accumulated in the past to continue taking on assassination tasks and raising these children.

The assassination of "Shen Xiangjun" was originally the last assassination mission in her plan, and the employer offered a high price, enough for her to start a new life with the group of children.

However, things did not go as she wished, and she was trapped in the last mission, and she got deeper and deeper into it.

Hua Shi walked outside under the identity of "Lord Shen", and gradually pieced together his life experience - a child from a poor family, his parents died early, he had been oppressed by the family since childhood, and he was weak and sickly. He did not believe in fate, and studied hard for nearly ten years, and his voice was amazing.

Since then, he has been cautious step by step, and now he is only one step away from becoming a close minister of the emperor.

He has great ambitions, to be second to none, to glorify his family, and to be famous for generations.

But it is difficult to go one step further on your own.

The person who bought the murderer, the situation in the court, and Shen Xiangjun's career, the three lines converge together, and behind them is the huge shadow of the officialdom's struggle for power. Corresponding to the approaching crisis is the obscure and warm friendship between the two.

At this point in the plot, no one cares whether their relationship is in accordance with the rules and reason, and no one wants to discuss whether their words and deeds are presumptuous. They just want to see the two of them work together to solve the crisis and usher in a satisfactory and gratifying ending.

Lu Yao came out of the lounge and asked Chi to watch the store. She should go to the Night Light City.

The latest mission is too bad, and the progress of introducing the new film must be accelerated.

The radio suddenly sounded, and the premiere of "Meeting You Again in the Time of Falling Flowers" just ended.

Lu Yao walked to the ticket gate and called Ku Ba, wanting to tell him not to leave in a hurry after work today, but he saw that this guy had tears in his eyes, crying like a puppy, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Ku Ba sobbed, waved his sleeves and wiped his face carelessly, then glared at Lu Yao softly, and turned to guide the guests who had already come out.

Almost all the guests had red eyes, as if they had cried.

Many guests began to sob while walking, and vaguely called out the names of Hua Shi and Shen Xiangjun.

Most of the noble ladies who came to watch the movie in men's clothes hurriedly got on the carriage after coming out, and their eyes were red and swollen.

The audience who bought tickets for the second show sat in the lounge waiting. Seeing the audience coming out crying, they couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that the movie this time was not good?

Oh my god!

The ticket price this time is more expensive than before. If it's not good, I'll be really angry and cry.

Someone stopped a guest who just came out of the theater and asked carefully, "Is it not good?"

The man wiped his face with his sleeve and glared at him and said, "You must go and see it, or you will regret it!"

Then he started crying again, making the guest who asked the question speechless.

Lu Yao looked around for a while, turned his back and wanted to laugh, but when he looked up and saw Zhu Zhu with tears in her eyes, he forced back his smile and said seriously: "It's okay, I'm leaving first. I have something to do today."

Zhu Zhu grabbed Lu Yao's clothes, rubbed her whole body against him, and cried loudly: "Boss, I feel so uncomfortable! Why, why!!!"

Lu Yao had to turn around and hug Zhu Zhu to comfort her: "Don't cry, don't cry."

The system seemed to have suddenly reached its rebellious stage and didn't want to miss any opportunity to target the owner: [Pretend, just pretend! You are the culprit! ]

Lu Yao wanted to laugh, but was afraid of irritating Zhu Zhu's fragile heart again, so he tried his best to breathe in and out to relieve his emotions.

The ending of the drama version and the movie version of "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers" are different. The drama version is a happy ending, and Lord Shen marries Hua Shi despite all difficulties, but the movie version has an open ending.

The copyright of both versions is in the same company, and the price offered by the other party is the same.

Lu Yao quickly went through both versions and finally chose the movie version.

Judging from the audience's reaction today, this choice should be the right one.

Crying and laughing, joy and sorrow, expectations and regrets, the ups and downs of emotions are more profound than the smooth road that can be seen at a glance.

At the end of the movie, Shen Xiangjun and Hua Shi worked together to clean up the chronic diseases in the court, the evildoers received the punishment they deserved, the disasters and banditry in Hua Shi's hometown were all resolved, and the souls of the two finally returned to their original positions.

Through Hua Shi's perspective, Shen Xiangjun once again felt the suffering of the people and re-examined herself. His ambition had a little more lofty ideals.

Hua Shi saw the intrigues in the court, and knew that Shen Xiangjun was treading on thin ice every step of the way, and she would never be able to help him again.

She suddenly remembered the wild chrysanthemums swaying in the wind on the hillside in front of her home many years ago, and she was eager to return home.

Hua Shi said goodbye to Shen Xiangjun, left Kyoto with the group of children, and returned to the poor mountains (place name).

Many years later, Shen Xiang, who was returning home in glory, passed through the mountains. He felt unwell due to the humidity and stopped to seek medical treatment.

On the way, he came across a college with the gate wide open and the sound of reading coming from the courtyard.

He walked to the door tremblingly. There were both male and female students in the courtyard. The female teacher held a scroll in her hand, her voice was slightly hoarse, and her face was also corroded by wind and frost.

She seemed to have sensed something and looked up. Her dark eyes were still as clear and boundless as they were back then.

Shen Xiang was stunned.

The wind blew, and the apricot trees leaning against the loess wall rustled lightly, and then the apricot flowers fell like snow.

Shen Xiangjun couldn't help but reach out, but unfortunately she didn't catch anything.

After many years,

I met you again in the season of falling flowers.
