The evening breeze blew into the house through the half-open window, bringing a rare coolness to the summer night. The pages of the book on the table were blown, making a slight sound that was particularly clear in the quiet room.
Ye Fei was stunned and looked up at the source of the sound unconsciously. It was not until her eyes fell on the door panel that she remembered that Yan Xiao was still standing outside.
——"I don't want you to move away."
——"I don't want a divorce either."
Perhaps it was because the night was too quiet, numbing people's thoughts, Ye Fei actually felt that Yan Xiao, who said these two sentences, was a bit pitiful.
However, he quickly pushed the idea out of his mind. No matter from which perspective, the word "pitiful" cannot be applied to Yan Xiao.
On the contrary, young, promising and outstanding are the labels that are usually attached to him. Although there are occasional discordant voices such as aloofness and stubbornness, they can be completely ignored.
Ye Fei sneered. Yan Xiao hated repetitive work and inefficient behavior. Every minute and every second of his time was precious. His contract marriage partner has done a good job and has been very effective in helping him resist his family's pressure to get married, so there is no need to go through the trouble of changing one.
This is why he is determined not to divorce and does not want to move out by himself.
"Ye Fei," the regular knocks on the door continued, Yan Xiao asked politely, "Can I come in?"
Ye Fei grabbed the T-shirt on the chair and said, "Okay."
As if he was waiting for him to say this, the next second, Yan Xiao pushed the door open and walked in so quickly that Ye Fei had only put on half of her clothes.
"Fuck," he cursed with a smile, reaching out to pull down the edge of the T-shirt that was rolled up at the back, "How anxious are you?"
Yan Xiao's Adam's apple rolled without saying a word, and he was almost dazzled by the naked back.
Ye Fei is very thin, but not skinny, and her body lines are smooth and firm. Two beautifully shaped butterfly bones spread their wings as if to fly, with a sexy arc in the middle, going all the way down along the snow-white back and finally disappearing into the deep dimple of the waist.
He seemed to have taken off his pants before. The waist of his pants was a little low, stuck on his perky buttocks, revealing a little edge of his black underwear.
What is more alluring than revealing everything is the desire to reveal but not to reveal.
"What's going on?" Ye Fei couldn't stand the heat and was sweating a little, making his T-shirt even harder to pull up. My hands were so sore from exhaustion, but I still didn't do it well. He muttered impatiently and was thinking of just taking it off since there was no need for two grown men to be so particular when suddenly a surprisingly hot hand covered his back.
Ye Fei turned around and immediately met Yan Xiao's dark eyes.
Unlike his usual calm demeanor, at this moment Yan Xiao pressed his back forcefully, his jawline slightly tightened, his eyes fixed on his face, revealing a strong aggressiveness.
It was like the top predator in the jungle, ready to pounce and strangle him by the throat in the next second.
Their eyes met, and it seemed as if sparks of lightning flashed in the air.
Strong hormones escaped, Ye Fei swallowed unconsciously, and her waist softened instantly.
"I'll help you." Yan Xiao's deep and pleasant voice brushed Ye Fei's ears gently, as if it carried magic, teasing him so much that even his brain began to feel dizzy, and he subconsciously said yes.
The rolled-up T-shirt was slightly pulled up, and a hand moved across it, with the knuckles occasionally touching Ye Fei's back, causing a shudder.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely, Ye Fei's ears turned red, and she finally couldn't help asking, "Not well yet?"
Yan Xiao did not answer. After a while, he said, "Soon."
The night wind gradually died down, and the bright lights drove the darkness out of the window. In the quiet room, the only sound that could be heard was the two people's heavy breathing.
Ye Fei urgently needed to say something to divert attention. He tried to mobilize his few remaining rational thoughts and asked Yan Xiao, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Yan Xiao remained silent, as if he hadn't heard Ye Fei's question at all.
It was not until Ye Fei asked him the second time that he repeated: "I don't want you to move out, and I don't want to divorce you." His voice was slightly hoarse and had a rustling texture.
Ye Fei almost suspected that Yan Xiao did it on purpose. He spoke in this kind of voice under such circumstances just to make it impossible for Ye Fei to refuse.
"Don't be like this," he hardened his heart, trying to make his voice sound colder. But in reality, it has no deterrent effect, and even seems a bit soft. "Let's part ways in peace."
Yan Xiao is not good at the ways of the world, but he has a very high IQ, and the difficult entrepreneurial experiences in his early years have made him very sharp. Someone in the industry once secretly gave him a nickname, "Robot".
It's not just about describing his weird and dull personality, but also because he is like a machine, able to accurately seize every possible opportunity and never let it go.
At this moment, Ye Fei's attitude when talking about divorce was completely different from before, which made him quickly see an opportunity.
Be proactive, be proactive. The previous method was wrong.
Yan Xiao muttered to himself, as if this could give him courage.
Ye Fei waited for a long time, but there was no answer from Yan Xiao. Just when she was about to look back, she suddenly felt her shoulders sink slightly. When she came to her senses, Yan Xiao had already held her shoulders and turned her body around.
"You..." Ye Fei turned her head and looked at her shoulder in surprise. Yan Xiao immediately put down his hand, just like a student who was caught by the teacher while doing something naughty.
"Can we not move out yet?" Yan Xiao kept looking for Ye Fei's eyes, and only continued to say, "The house is very big and empty."
Seeing that Ye Fei didn't seem impatient, he added, "I don't want to live alone. I'm used to living with two people."
There was no expression on his face and his tone was flat. But Ye Fei didn't know why, she just couldn't say no. Before my brain could react, my mouth had already automatically replied, "Okay."
Yan Xiao was very happy. Although it couldn't be seen from his face, his steps as he walked out were obviously much lighter.
Ye Fei leaned on the table, looking at his back, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was for a moment.
It was not until he finished his shower and lay in bed that he suddenly realized that he had clearly wanted to discuss divorce with Yan Xiao, but in the end not only did he avoid the topic, he also agreed not to move out.
Depend on! He always felt that Yan Xiao was seriously trying to trick him!
But how could it be possible with his personality? It must be just a coincidence.
Ye Fei fell asleep with a lot of questions in his mind. The next day, he struggled to get up, packed up, and drove to Tianxi.
Song Wen had been waiting for him in the reception room for a long time. It seemed that he had been there for quite a while, and there were several paper cups for drinking water next to him.
"Sorry, I'm late." Ye Fei sat down next to him.
When Song Wen saw Ye Fei's face, he was surprised. If he hadn't been introduced in advance, he would have thought that this was not an investor but an actor.
"No, no, it's not the agreed time yet," Song Wen shook his head and shook hands with him, "I came early."
Song Wen seemed very anxious and took out the script without saying a few polite words to Ye Fei. It can be seen that he did a lot of preparation for this movie. He can easily grasp some small details without even watching it.
Ye Fei flipped through the books and listened to his explanation. Comparing it with the movies I watched in my previous life, it is easy to find that the final movie was cut.
"Um..." When talking about the most critical budget issue, Song Wen stuttered a little. Looking at Ye Fei's face, he said with difficulty, "My minimum budget for "Time and Space Rescue" is 300 million."
After saying this, he also felt that he had gone a little too far. Why does a little-known director who can't even produce any popular film or TV works ask for 300 million yuan right away?
But Ye Fei was the first person who, after hearing the subject matter of the script, not only did not give him the cold shoulder, but also seriously asked him out for a talk. He really didn't want to let her go.
In fact, Song Wen is not an unknown person. On the contrary, he was very famous for his variety show performances in his early years. However, his three consecutive works after the transformation all performed poorly at the box office. The entertainment industry is not short of talented people, and gradually, he was forgotten.
Three hundred million.
Ye Fei bent his fingers and tapped the table. He could invest about 40 million personally. Tianxi Entertainment is not a big business. Taking into account Gu Ruijia’s private money, it would be at most 150 million yuan, which would leave more than 100 million yuan unaccounted for.
He couldn't rely on Song Wen for the more than 100 million yuan, so he had to raise it himself. After all, the sooner it starts, the better for him.
After a rough calculation, Ye Fei did not give Song Wen an accurate answer. She told him that she would contact him when she made up her mind, then politely sent him out of Tianxi and turned to find Gu Ruijia.
"Do you think highly of this movie?" Faced with a friend who couldn't be persuaded even by eight horses, Gu Ruijia was so worried that his hair fell to the ground.
"Yeah." Ye Fei nodded and said meaningfully, "Just like being optimistic about that stock."
"You really won't consider it again?"
Ye Fei shook his head: "Believe me, the script is really good and it won't lose money." Seeing that Gu Ruijia wanted to say something, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tell me, which movie that you thought was very suitable for the market has made money?"
Gu Ruijia: “…”
Just talk, why do you suddenly hurt his heart!
"Okay then," Gu Ruijia pondered for a while, then made up his mind, "Let's do as you say, but I have to tell you in advance that if we invest in this movie, the company will really be bankrupt."
"It's okay," Gu Ruijia finalized it, and Ye Fei felt relieved. "I have plans for the future, and I won't let the cash flow be cut off."
Seeing Gu Ruijia nod, Ye Fei continued, "'Time and Space Rescue' still has a funding gap of more than 100 million. You can contact your good friends and ask them if they are interested. I'm also on this side, let's do it on two fronts."
Gu Ruijia: “…”
Apart from him, an old friend whom he has known for more than ten years, which friend would listen to him and invest money in a science fiction film? Fearing that this would dampen Ye Fei's enthusiasm, he did not say it directly, and reluctantly said, "Okay."
Ye Fei spent the whole day contacting friends. It’s a pity that when the other party heard that it was a science fiction film, he didn’t even consider it and directly refused.
Ye Fei looked at the call that had ended again and laughed at himself. He wondered if he had understood the difficulties Song Wen had gone through back then.
In the evening, he had just walked in, and before he could say hello to Yan Xiao in the living room, Gu Ruijia called. As expected, he failed to attract any investment.
"I understand. Don't worry about it. I'll find a way." Ye Fei put his shoes into the shoe cabinet and sat on the sofa. "No?" He joked, "If it doesn't work, let Song Wen sell the house. Otherwise, where will the more than 100 million come from?"
Gu Ruijia knew he was joking, so she comforted him a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Ye Fei was just thinking about whether there were any other friends she could develop with, when Yan Xiao came over and asked, "Are you short of funds for the movie you invested in?"
"Yeah." Ye Fei pinched the bridge of her nose, "Almost, but I can always get it if I think of a way."
"I can invest." Yan Xiao said.
Ye Fei was startled, then smiled: "I didn't expect that President Yan is also interested in the film and television industry."
Yan Xiao looked at him quietly for a while and said, "I didn't invest because I was interested."
Ye Fei was surprised: "Why is that?"
"Because I don't want you to be unhappy."
