Chapter 182: Scam call from the Spring Festival Gala program team?



"Ayuan, come and root?"

"No, I'm quitting."

"Really quit?"

"Well, didn't you see I haven't smoked in a week?"

"Oh, I'll smoke then."

"Hey, hey, let me have some too."

"Didn't you quit?"

"Finish this one before you quit."

"Can we still play like this?"

"Ahem... I just saw that you were feeling lonely smoking alone, so I just wanted to keep you company."

"Why do I feel like you're fooling me?"

"How is that possible?"

"Ayuan, are you really going to leave?"

"Um."

"Why don't you join us in watching the box office blossom?"

"I can watch the box office boom from home."

"Oh, okay, then will you come back after the New Year?"

"Well, I will definitely come back on time after the New Year."

"oh."

"Fatty Wei, the company will be handed over to you from now on."

"Okay, but could you please stop calling me Fatty Wei? I'm a person of status now! It's really inappropriate for you to call me that."

"Oh, sorry, I just said it casually, Director Wei. Well, actually, I am also a person of status now."

"Boss Lu!"

"Ahem, ahem, Mr. Lu doesn't sound like he's used to it..."

"Lu Manzi? Lu Ergou?"

"It's still Mr. Lu. I suddenly feel very close to him."

"Pretentious."

Fatty Wei and Lu Yuan were squatting on a big rock at the Qingming Shanghe Tu scenic spot in Hengdian, smoking "Honglan".

Half a year passed in a flash. For other people, half a year seemed to pass in a flash, but for Fatty Wei, it might be the happiest days of his life.

He met Lu Yuan, shot two movies at the same time, watched the company slowly turn from a shell company into a legitimate one, watched Lu Yuan suddenly become a nail in the headlines of the entertainment industry from an unknown company, and blossomed in all aspects...

All this seemed unreal to him like a dream.

However, although such a long time has passed and there have been some ups and downs, Lu Yuan seems to have slowly climbed to a height that others envy, and seems to be different, but that faint smell of coquettishness makes Fatty Wei feel that they are like-minded.

To put it bluntly, they are both sexy people, but his sexiness is only on the surface, while Lu Yuan's sexiness penetrates into his bones and soul.

That's the difference between the two.

Of course, Fatty Wei always felt that he was more upright than Lu Yuan. At least Fatty Wei could not think of such an unorthodox idea as throwing firecrackers into other people's cars.

"Um, by the way, Ayuan, do you still remember Shen Lianjie?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"It seems that he also has a movie coming out during the Chinese New Year, but this time the investment is a little bit more than ours, only about 10 million..."

"Uh, so he's our opponent?"

"Yeah, but maybe it's because he was hit hard enough this time, he seems to be much more low-key."

"Who cares? We do our own thing. He doesn't care."

"Yeah, I wonder if that thing still works..."

"Ahem, ahem, we are people of status now, there are some things we can't say carelessly, I think we should be more serious... Anyway, I think he may not be very useful."

"Tsk tsk." Fatty Wei looked at Lu Yuan and felt more and more that Lu Yuan's serious expression was really hypocritical.

He is simply a hypocrite among hypocrites.

but……

Fatty Wei suddenly laughed. He also felt that Shen Lianjie might not be able to do his job well.

As the sun was setting, Fatty Wei put out his cigarette when suddenly the phone rang. After Fatty Wei saw the number, his originally sly expression suddenly turned serious, and he gritted his teeth a little bit.

"Hello……"

"I won't come this year. I said I won't come back for the New Year unless I get the results."

"Admit your mistakes? I won't admit my mistakes. I am not wrong. I have proved that I am no weaker than him. If he can do it, I can do it too."

"Okay, I'm busy now. Mom, please tell him to watch The Wanderer."

“…”

After Fatty Wei hung up the phone, his expression looked a little bit defiant.

"A phone number from home?"

"Um."

"Actually, you don't have to be like this."

"My old man has looked down on me since I was a child. He always thinks that I am not as good as the children of his colleagues. He says that I have no talent and always criticizes me in front of others. If it weren't for the fact that the old man and I... cough, I would have doubted whether I was his biological child."

"What?"

"You'll know when you have a chance to meet him in the future." Fatty Wei shook his head, and his emotions seemed a little extreme.

Just as Lu Yuan shook his head, his cell phone rang.

He looked at the number and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Lu Yuan? Yes, I'm Lu Yuan. May I ask who you are?"

"What? The planning team of the Spring Festival Gala? Haha, did I win the first prize? Is it a mobile phone, a laptop, or 88,000 yuan in cash? Oh, sorry, I don't need a mobile phone or a laptop, let alone 88,000 yuan in cash. Please transfer the call to someone else who needs it."

“Beep, beep, beep.”

"The Spring Festival Gala program team is looking for you?" Fatty Wei turned his head and looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.

"It was just a scammer. I'm familiar with this method. He pretended that I won the lottery. After I filled out all the information, he said he would deduct taxes and asked me to transfer the tax money to him first... These days, these scammers are getting more and more aggressive."

"Well, turn off your phone. There have been a lot of harassing calls lately."

"Yes, that's a good idea."

"Did you call?"

"Yes."

"What did he say, when can he come over?"

"He hung up on me, thinking I was a liar."

"Didn't you introduce yourself?"

"I just mentioned that I was from the Spring Festival Gala program team, and before I even started introducing myself, he already identified me as the one for the lucky draw..."

"You want another one?"

"good."

"What's wrong?"

"The phone is turned off."

“…”

Backstage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Liu Bangshun looked at Chen Guangming.

It was the first time for him to encounter such a situation. He just said, "I'm from the Spring Festival Gala program team," and before he could even say his name, Lu Yuan interrupted him.

After Lu Yuan finished his long chatter, he immediately hung up the phone without giving him any chance to interrupt.

When he called again.

Well, Lu Yuan’s phone is turned off.

This guy has basically completely determined that he is a liar and will not give him any chance at all.

This made Liu Bangshun feel really helpless.

"Let's call An Xiao first, Lu Yuan will come later."

"Um."

The two of them called An Xiao very smoothly. An Xiao naturally knew Liu Bangshun. When he heard that there was a problem with the Spring Festival Gala, he immediately rushed to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal site with his agent.

Although the Spring Festival Gala has gradually begun to decline in recent years, and ordinary people have gradually expressed certain discordant opinions about the Gala, thinking that it is unoriginal and old-fashioned, it is still a special honor for celebrities in the circle. After all, being able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala basically means that you have been recognized by the organization, and the exposure is also very high. An Xiao naturally would not refuse such an opportunity.

"Director, how about I sing 'Invisible Wings'?" When An Xiao knew the situation, he hesitated for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"It's better to change the song. Although this song is not bad, it doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the New Year. It would be better to sing a theme song like "Drunk Tonight." Liu Bangshun looked at An Xiao and seriously put forward his request.

"Well... I'll go find some other songs."

"Yeah, great. Can you give me an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest? Sorry, time is a bit tight and we don't want to do it this time."

"It's okay. I'll go back and choose a song now."

"Um."

An Xiao came quickly and left quickly.

There are less than two days left before the Spring Festival Gala begins, and she needs to use these two days to prepare well for going on stage.

After An Xiao left, Liu Bangshun called Lu Yuan again, but Lu Yuan's phone was still turned off.

This left him speechless at the moment.

Has this person been cheated by a similar scammer, and was cheated badly or even lost all his property?

What a huge psychological shadow this would cause!

After being speechless for a while, Liu Bangshun found the number of Lu Yuan's agent Wu Tingting and asked if Wu Tingting was with Lu Yuan.

Unfortunately, Wu Tingting is in Yanjing.

After Wu Tingting received the call from the Spring Festival Gala program team, she was very excited and felt that this was a great opportunity for Lu Yuan, so she also called Lu Yuan.

The phone is still turned off.

She began to get anxious and planned to go to Zhejiang Province to find Lu Yuan in person, but after looking at the ticket, Wu Tingting was speechless.

Because it is the end of the year, there are no more flights from Yanjing to Zhejiang Province, and even the nearest ticket is on New Year's Eve.

If I run there to bring Lu Yuan to Yanjing, all the time will be spent on the road. Even if I bring him to Yanjing, I will have no time to prepare.

Are you kidding me?

Wu Tingting was speechless.

Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, why did you turn off your phone at this time? Why did you turn it off at this time?

You must have missed this Spring Festival Gala.

Lu Yuan didn't know that he had missed the Spring Festival Gala.

Now all he can think about is going home early to celebrate the New Year.

After arranging the company's affairs, Lu Yuan immediately rushed home wearing sunglasses and a hat, carrying his luggage on his back.

To be honest, Lu Yuan is a home-loving man. He misses home a little after being away from home for such a long time.

Hengdian is not far from Lu Yuan’s home. It only takes about three hours by car. If you leave at two o’clock in the afternoon, you can still catch dinner.

This is how Lu Yuan estimated it himself.

However, when Lu Yuan actually got in the car and drove onto the highway, he discovered that the highway was jammed.

Looking ahead, I saw a long queue.

Lu Yuan sighed.

Looking through the window at the national highway below the expressway, Lu Yuan discovered that the highway was unobstructed.

Lu Yuan was wondering whether he should buy a car now.

Otherwise, these big and small bags look really inappropriate...

The other passengers in the car looked at Lu Yuan, who was wearing a mask and sunglasses and coughing from time to time. They didn't think much about it and instinctively stayed away from Lu Yuan...

They wouldn't believe that a big star like Lu Yuan would take the same bus as them. They would just think Lu Yuan was a patient with an infectious disease.

So Lu Yuan was not recognized by anyone along the way.

Lu Yuan originally thought that the traffic jam would only last a few hours at most, and he should be able to get home around nine o'clock in the evening.

However, when the car finally arrived at the destination, Lu Yuan got out of the car and took out his mobile phone, only to find that it was already one o'clock in the morning.

It was a three-hour drive, but the traffic jam lasted for seven hours.

This made Lu Yuan feel extremely angry.

Just when Lu Yuan was about to call his family, his cell phone rang.

Lu Yuan looked at his phone.

It was An Xiao calling.

"Hey, your call finally got through..."

"Uh, why aren't you asleep so late at night?"

"I couldn't sleep and was looking for a song."

"Looking for a song?"

"Yeah, by the way, can you help me write a song?"

"What song do you write?"

"It's the song we're going to sing during the Spring Festival Gala. This is what happened..."

"So you were a substitute for the Spring Festival Gala, and the authorities asked you to sing a song that fits the theme of the New Year?"

"Yeah, so are you sure?"

"What good is it to me?"

"What benefit do you want? As long as it's not excessive, I will agree to it."

"Oh, I haven't thought about it yet. I don't know how much I'd like to ask you if you're negotiating money with me. How about this, you owe me a favor, and come over when I need you in the future?"

"Okay, I still say the same thing, as long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to it."

"Okay, by the way, let's stop talking, my phone rang again..."

"Well, I have to hand it in tomorrow morning at the latest."

"OK."

After Lu Yuan hung up the phone, he answered Wu Tingting's call.

Wu Tingting didn’t sleep either?

Doesn't she usually go to bed on time every night?

"Boss Lu, you finally got through on the phone... I was so anxious."

"What's the matter? Is there something urgent?"

"It's a matter of great urgency."

"What's wrong? Don't say a word?"

"Can you come to Yanjing now? If you can, come now..."

"I'm in my hometown now. I haven't even entered the house and you asked me to come back..." Lu Yuan, who was carrying his luggage, was speechless.

"Mr. Lu, the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala production team called you before, but you thought they were scammers..."

"What? The Spring Festival Gala program team?"

Lu Yuan was stunned.

Then he thought of something and his whole body was shocked!
