"Didn't you buy any men's clothes? Let me borrow some."
Although Liu Zi felt a little awkward accepting it, she put everything aside when she thought about her grand plan to open a store and lead the trend in the future.
"No, all my clothes are custom-made; I rarely buy them from outside."
Li Mu had just returned, and the documents on the table were at least a foot high, but he wasn't impatient. The two of them chatted and answered questions quite comfortably.
Liu Zi curled her lip in annoyance. "Damn capitalists, so extravagant!"
“I feel like you’re insulting me.” Li Mu stopped writing and saw Liu Zi.
Knowing this woman's temperament, nothing good ever comes of her when she's quiet.
No, you're mistaken.
Liu Zi would definitely not admit it. Although this man was a bit sharp-tongued, she had accepted so many things from him, so she would let it go for now.
"Okay, I've accepted the things. I'll head back now." Liu Zi gathered the bag and packed everything up.
Li Mu shook his head speechlessly, pressed the intercom, and asked his assistant to come and help Liu Zi get downstairs.
Liu Zi drove the items to the studio and had someone put them in the office.
It's not that she doesn't want a separate room, but mainly because the studio and media company have expanded too quickly in the past year, hiring a lot of people. The small building on the pedestrian street that she originally bought to increase its value is already saturated with people.
There was simply no room left, so Liu Zi had already asked Wang Jian to consider renting or buying a new house.
The media company isn't very profitable, but the studio is doing alright. If they take out a loan to pay for an apartment, it shouldn't be too much of a burden.
Liu Zi's new military-themed novel has been completed and sent to the Northwest Military Region for political review a few days ago. If it passes the review, she will publish it first.
As for the TV series, she plans to start filming in the middle of next year, and she plans to film a movie first in the first half of the year.
"Boss, Director Yan just notified us to go and collect the National Day celebration tickets. He said he prepared three for you and hopes you can submit the list of attendees as soon as possible so they can conduct a security check." Wang Jian looked excited, wondering if he would get one.
"Don't even think about it, there's no place for you here." Liu Zi understood the meaning in this guy's eyes at a glance.
"Huh?" Wang Jian's face scrunched up like a steamed bun.
"I had a bit of a conflict with the Beijing Military Region back then, and I promised to send a ticket to Qi Qiang, the company commander of their special forces. Once the ticket arrives, you can drive there in person to deliver it." Liu Zi hadn't forgotten what she had promised.
"Okay, I understand." Although Wang Jian didn't know the specific reason, he still agreed.
As for the remaining two, Liu Zi needs to go home and discuss them with Liu Daqiang.
She hadn't even gotten home when she received a call from Li Mu.
It turns out this guy owns a building near the square on Chang'an Avenue. He had just forgotten to ask Liu Zi, so he's calling to ask her if she wants to come and attend the National Day celebrations.
After Liu Zi found out the exact location, she immediately felt that her ticket was no longer worthwhile and shamelessly insisted that Li Mu prepare a private room for her.
She and her family had probably never experienced such a view before, so of course she wanted to bring everyone along to broaden their horizons.
"Liu Zi, don't go too far." Li Mu felt that this woman was really pushing her luck.
"Then I'll trade you two tickets for the front viewing platform." Liu Zi wouldn't budge, since she had originally planned to give one of them to Li Mu anyway.
"Why are you squeezing in here with me if you have a ticket?" Li Mu was speechless. This little girl was quite capable; she actually managed to get a ticket to attend the ceremony.
"Just two photos? How can I take so many people with me? Besides, the sun is so strong, and I can't use an umbrella for the sake of appearance. I'm afraid I'll get oily skin from the sun." Liu Zi is very protective of her face. Although she won't have plastic surgery, she still does her best to whiten it.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Li, I heard that buildings along Chang'an Avenue are going to be closed off. Can you guarantee that we can get in to watch the ceremony?" Liu Zi couldn't help but ask, recalling some related reports from later years.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just make sure there aren't too many people, and they'll need to stay in the building overnight," Li Muyun said casually.
“I only have my parents and two daughters at home, and my daughter’s godmother-in-law. But this godmother-in-law is the widow of two martyrs, and her identity is not a problem.” Liu Zi said cautiously, afraid that Li Mu would say that she had reported too many people.
Li Mu was slightly surprised. He had already had someone investigate Liu Zi's information. Where did this Aunt Zhang come from?
Those of them who had served in the military held the widows of martyrs in high esteem.
“Since your parents both work in Beijing, their review will be easy to pass, but this lady needs you to provide relevant documents and supporting materials,” Li Mu said in a businesslike manner.
Liu Zi was very happy. If the man said that, he probably agreed to her request.
Upon hearing that the other party needed materials, Liu Zi immediately agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, ID card, household registration book, martyr's certificate, survivor's certificate..." Liu Zi recited a long list of names.
Because it was too far from her hometown and inconvenient to go back, she asked Aunt Zhang to bring everything she could from home.
“Grandma Zhang’s hometown is in Shanxi Province. Her husband was an officer who died of illness on duty, and her son died in battle on the border of Yunnan Province. She is all alone now.” Liu Zi’s tone was heavy. She had thought about it before. If her parents agreed, she would leave the last ticket to Grandma Zhang.
Liu Zi wanted to show the old lady that this was the country that her Zhang family had protected for two generations—a prosperous, strong, free, and peaceful nation.
"Okay, send over everyone's information as soon as possible, I'll arrange it." Li Mu agreed immediately.
Liu Zi was extremely grateful, and once again realized how powerful the powerful figure she had latched onto was!
What she didn't know was that Li Mu had also fought in the clouds when he was young, and he was deeply moved by Liu Zi's words.
Liu Zi didn't announce this before returning home, as it wasn't allowed yet. Right now, she needed to busy herself with submitting everyone's information.
September in Beijing brings clear skies and crisp autumn air, though the sun is still exceptionally strong.
As the date drew closer, a sense of urgency began to permeate the entire city.
Her newly opened fruit drink shop near the train station received a notice to close for three days during the National Day holiday, so Liu Zi simply gave everyone a holiday.
As for the other two shops, they do not do business on that day, but offer low-priced mung bean soup all day.
It costs one cent per cup, and you can get more if you bring your own cup.
Liu Zi doesn't do this for money; she only wants to provide help to those in need.
Residents of old Beijing have seen a lot; on National Day, apart from those with official duties, no one else would leave their homes to cause trouble.
Zhang Da Niang passed the security check without any surprise. If she hadn't passed, Liu Zi might have suspected that someone was deliberately causing trouble.
Wang Jian also reported back that when he went to deliver the tickets, Qi Qiang refused immediately upon hearing the news and told him to take the tickets back.
At first, Wang Jian was a little unhappy. This man was still being pretentious. Their boss had already sent over such precious tickets, and he still wouldn't accept them.
