"Oh, old man, we're discussing it right now, and it'll be more than six months before we have to pay for the house. I'm just reserving a spot to show my filial piety, hehe."
Grandpa Zhou ran downstairs, saying, "Tell me, what's so special about your house that makes you want to come over and show it off six months in advance?"
Grandpa Ni, who was following behind, walked down unhurriedly, found a chair and sat down, wanting to see what Fang Yang had to say about his new house, daring to come here to trick his mother-in-law into staying temporarily in West Lake.
Fang Yang smiled upon hearing this, not expecting Old Master Zhou to react so strongly. Now that there were two more people, he naturally couldn't watch it on his phone anymore. So he connected his phone to the TV via Bluetooth, exited the TV playback, and went to his phone's photo album, quickly finding the photos he had taken unintentionally.
"Gentlemen, these are photos I took some time ago. Our company is located in the suburbs of Xihu City. The surrounding area is mostly rural areas with no industry. As we all know, Xihu City is a tourist city with very little industrial pollution, and the suburbs are a pristine place."
"Our company used to be located on a saline-alkali land, but this was due to historical reasons. As you can see, our company is right next to the middle section of the Qiantang River, where the current is rapid. The land condition was caused by repeated floods in history. However, it has no impact on our construction headquarters. With a little modification, it can become a beautiful garden community."
"Just like this mountain, although it is only a little over 200 meters high, it has been able to preserve its original landform very well because it is located in a salt-iodized area. It has not been affected by human footprints at all. During the initial geological exploration, it was discovered by our logistics department deputy general manager. After a little modification, it became the residence of several of our company's veterans."
"During construction, the entire mountaintop was leveled, and after taking a look, it turned out to be over 2,000 square meters. They built a manor for me, but the actual living space is only about 500 square meters, which is the side closest to the Qiantang River. You can see the surging waves of the Qiantang River as soon as you open the window. The other 1,500 square meters can be used to grow flowers and vegetables, and you can also dig a swimming pool. Moreover, the whole mountain is covered with trees, like a forest oxygen bar, although it is a bit small."
Fang Yang smiled at the two old men, "I wonder if you two gentlemen like fishing? You see, after you come down the mountain and pass through the accommodation area, there is an artificial lake. The water in this artificial lake is all diverted from the Qiantang River, and it is all fresh water. There is a waterway between the artificial lake and the Qiantang River, which we have transformed into a scenic area and built many fishing platforms for employees and tourists to fish in their spare time. You know, the Qiantang River flows directly to the sea, and it has precious shad and knife fish in it. Just thinking about the deliciousness makes my mouth water."
The two old men exchanged a smile. They didn't care about the environment, but being able to fish in their spare time was much better than being cooped up in this courtyard playing chess every day. Besides, as people get older, they always want to go out and about, but going out always disturbs the local government's work, which isn't a good thing. If they could quietly move in and fish every day to pass the time, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Besides, wasn't that Bai family kid transferred to Jiangnan? They should be able to keep it a secret from the local government.
"Xiao Fang, are those shad and ribbonfish easy to catch?"
"I don't know, we haven't moved there yet. But according to what we've heard, there must be something there. As for whether it's good for fishing, that's hard to say. There are a few people in the company who like fishing, so they probably go fishing every day. We'll just have to ask them. Gentlemen, you don't happen to enjoy fishing too, do you?"
Fang Yang looked at the two old men suspiciously. Weren't they very opposed to going to West Lake? Why are they so interested now?
"Hey, we're too old for fishing, even if we wanted to. My wife is from Jiangnan, so it would be good for her to stay there for a while. But you said there are knife fish and shad in there, so we'd like to see them too. Xiaoxin said you're a good cook, right? When we go fishing, you can cook, and maybe we can even taste the shad and knife fish."
Fang Yang looked at the two old men saying things they didn't mean and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. "It should be fine for Grandma to go, but if the two of you go, I'm afraid it will cause too much of a stir. If the higher-ups investigate, my weak arms and legs won't be able to handle it!"
Fang Yang dared not agree immediately. If something went wrong, he would be unable to defend himself. However, if the old man wanted to go himself, the outcome would be different. As long as he was not invited by the old man, he would not be held responsible.
“Grandpa, our place is indeed suitable for health preservation. I was planning to bring my grandparents and maternal grandparents over. If they don’t get used to it, they can grow some vegetables. But I dare not invite you, mainly because I can’t bear that responsibility. My shoulders are too thin, and I’m afraid I’ll break them.”
Old Master Zhou glared at him, "You heartless brat, you have no sense of responsibility. Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore. Honestly, all that talent of yours is wasted on a dog. I'm not talking to you anymore. I just discussed it with Lao Ni. There shouldn't be any major problems with your movie being made, but there will be some negative consequences. You should be prepared."
"Adverse consequences?"
Fang Yang looked at the two old men with a puzzled expression. Old Master Ni, who had been quietly watching the show, explained: "Your film has a strong political bias, which is not very friendly to some neighboring countries. Therefore, it will be difficult for this film to go abroad. In addition, it may give neighboring countries the impression that your company has a very hawkish mentality, which will affect your company's film and television works going abroad in the future."
Fang Yang scoffed and said disdainfully, "So what? They're just tiny countries, no bigger than an egg. What can they do to me? Even if they have complaints, when we go to their country to make movies, we'll give them money and they'll still treat us like dirt. As long as our country is strong, we can go out into the world with our heads held high and not be afraid of any obstacles."
Grandpa Ni praised, "It's very good that you have this kind of thinking. As a disseminator of domestic culture, you should have this fearless spirit of sacrificing everything for the strength of the country. Spreading positive energy is also the most basic requirement for you cultural workers. Since you are already prepared for this, you can discuss the follow-up matters with the Navy. I will also contact the relevant departments as soon as possible and notify you when there is a result."
When Fang Yang heard what Grandpa Ni said, he knew that there was no big problem. As for offending neighboring countries, Fang Yang really didn't care. As the world's number one economic power, if the country didn't even have this much spirit, how could it stand tall among the nations of the world?
