She smiled happily and said, "Then I must congratulate Director Shen in advance on the great success of his directorial debut?"
Hearing her words made Shen Zhaokun feel completely at ease. "Haha, President Jiang, this is also a great victory for you! Congratulations to you too!"
"Yes, it's really good." She thought for a moment and then advised, "I think word-of-mouth from the audience on the first day and reviews from professional film critics are very important. Don't skimp on the marketing and distribution."
Shen Zhaokun now treats her words as gospel. "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements on my end. I'll double-check after I hang up."
“Okay.” She said with a smile, “Director Shen, see you at the celebration banquet.”
Shen Zhaokun smiled and said, "No problem, President Jiang, see you at the celebration banquet."
Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Xiao Muyu's eyes sparkled, "Your results in 'Outstanding' were pretty good, right?"
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow confidently, "Needless to say, we expect to reach 8 million yuan today."
Yuan Man asked curiously, "Is this the movie you two went to see so early this morning?"
She nodded. "Yuan Xiaoman, you won't regret watching this movie! Want to consider it?"
Xiao Muyu also advised, "That's right, there are still some details I didn't understand today. Xiaoman, shall we go and see it again during the holiday?"
Yuan Man didn't care. "Sure, I'll just consider it a contribution to the capitalists."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and said, "Your awareness is really good. But since the capitalist is in a good mood, I'll cover your movie tickets. Tickets are hard to buy lately. If you're sure when you want to go, I'll have someone deliver the tickets."
Xiao Muyu nodded, "Then we won't stand on ceremony with you."
The two women were very interested in Yuan Man's school, and they interrogated her with countless questions all afternoon.
In the end, it was Xiao Jincheng who came back with a packed dinner to rescue her.
Jiang Xiaoli got up and took the food from his hands. "Uncle Xiao, I think you should change your surname."
Xiao Jincheng was a little puzzled. "How so?"
As she took the lunchbox out and placed it on the table, she said, "My stomach had just rumbled twice when you came back with the food. You're a lifesaver! The surname Ji is also a good one!"
"Oh!" Xiao Jincheng chuckled. "Your aunt was worried that the three of you would go hungry, so she called three times to urge me to come back and bring you food. How could I not be there in time!"
Yuan Man blushed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Jincheng sat at the dining table and opened the lunchboxes one by one. "Why is Xiaoman being so polite with me now that she's come to Kyoto? This doesn't seem like our future crime-fighting hero!"
Yuan Man smiled and scratched his head, "I was just afraid of bothering you and Auntie, so I was just being polite."
Xiao Jincheng put a piece of food on each of the three of them's plate. "Xiaoyu is the only child in my family, and Xiaoli is always busy and we never see her. We're so happy that you can come and play with Xiaoyu, how could we be bothering you! Besides, I've known your parents for so many years. Let me tell you, during these years of studying in Kyoto, just come home on holidays and don't make us rush you, understand?"
Xiao Muyu chimed in, "That's right, Xiaoman. For weekends or holidays, just come over. Your school isn't far away; it only takes about 20 minutes by bus."
Yuan Man was touched by the father and daughter's enthusiasm, and she nodded emphatically, "Yes! I understand, I'll come as long as there's nothing else at school."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and smoothed things over, "Let's welcome another little one to our family!"
Yuan Man glanced at her with amusement, "You're the little brat!"
Xiao Jincheng chuckled, "Come on, let's raise a glass and have a happy holiday!"
Happy holidays!
Xiao Jincheng turned around and asked, "Xiao Li, how's your movie coming along?"
Jiang Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and boasted about the achievements of "Qiaochu".
Xiao Jincheng nodded and put down his chopsticks. "Xiao Li, what do you think about finding a spokesperson for our Kyoto 'Jinghua Plaza'?"
She asked with a smile, "You mean to use some celebrity endorsement?"
"Haha!" Xiao Jincheng said, "I knew you'd get it right away. I think this is a great way to promote our business and it will definitely attract a stable group of customers."
Jiang Xiaoli thought this was a great idea. "Sure, Uncle Xiao, let me tell you, even though the artists my company has signed aren't making a splash yet, 'Qiaochu' is just their starting point. Their future development will be even better!"
Xiao Jincheng took a sip of water. "Of course I trust the people from your company, but the construction period for our 'Jinghua Plaza' is only 2 years and 9 months. We still have 2 years left. Do you think they'll be able to independently carry on the title of our mall's spokesperson after two years?"
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment and nodded, "I don't think it's a big problem, but you can also consider other people. Anyway, we still have time, so how about we choose the best of the best?"
Xiao Jincheng clinked glasses with her. "No problem, I just wanted to let you know. Little Jiang, our own company has to give you a discount!"
She gave an OK sign, "Don't worry!"
Xiao Muyu, standing next to Yuan Man, said helplessly, "Look at these two, it's so boring eating with them. They always bring up business."
The doting father, Xiao Jincheng, quickly promised, "Okay, okay, Daddy will shut up now. We won't talk about business anymore today. Let's eat properly!"
Xiao Muyu then smiled and said, "Dad, it's not that I don't like you talking about business. You two still have two years left, you can talk about it after dinner, right?"
Xiao Jincheng picked up a large shrimp for his daughter, saying, "My daughter is absolutely right. Dad will definitely pay attention to that in the future!"
After dinner, Jiang Xiaoli received a call from Zong Jiayu, "Xiaoli, I'm home. Where are you?"
She glanced at Xiao Muyu and Yuan Man, who were huddled together watching "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang," and decisively said, "Wait at home, I'm coming."
After hanging up the phone, she smiled slightly at the two people who turned to look at her, "Friendship time is over for today. You two watch TV, I'm off!"
Xiao Muyu guessed it when she saw that it was Zong Jia calling. She waved her hand dismissively, "Let's go, let's go. You keep spoiling the plot. Watching TV with you is the most boring thing ever!"
Yuan Man nodded in agreement, "Exactly! People who spoil the plot, be careful, or you might find your instant noodles won't have the seasoning packet!"
Jiang Xiaoli, carrying the things she bought at the mall that day, waved goodbye to the two of them with a flourish, "Don't be sad, Xiang Shuai's amnesia was just an act! I'm leaving!"
Enraged, Xiao Muyu picked up a cushion and threw it at her back.
She turned around and made a face, "Hehehe! I can't hit it!"
At that moment, Yuan Man threw a plush toy, which hit her right on the forehead.
Xiao Muyu laughed loudly, "Hmph! Our Xiaoman is a professional!"
Jiang Xiaoli threw the plush toy back to them and then clasped her hands in a fist salute. "Yuan Xiaoman, I underestimated you. Let's fight another day!"
After saying that, she went out and saw that the elevator was still on the first floor, so she simply walked up the stairs and knocked on Zong Jiayu's door.
