Xing Baohua really wanted to tell her that she wasn't familiar with that area at all, as she had never been there herself.
Seeing Xing Baohua hesitate, the girl said, "Drawing is a slow process; it might take several months."
How many more months? With your strong sex drive, someone of my build could become a fat monk in a month.
It's a bit scary to think about. Forget it, I won't provoke them; it's pointless.
"I'm sorry, I really don't have any connections there. I'm Xing Baohua, the factory manager of Shangguzhuang Electronics Factory in Luzhong."
Xing Baohua introduced himself this way to let the other party know that he owned a small factory run by the village, thus dispelling any unrealistic fantasies the other party might have.
Little did he know, the girl's eyes were shining! A physics major in electronics, such a young factory manager—she'd definitely be given an important position after returning from abroad!
Even if they don't go abroad, it would be great if they could become a couple! It would make it easier for them to travel in the future.
"Excuse me, I have something to attend to. Please excuse me," Xing Baohua said politely as she took her leave.
The girl misunderstood again. Look how gentlemanly he is, even saying sorry and excuse himself. He must have learned that from studying. What should I wear tonight? Should I go to the China World Trade Center to buy something?
I heard there are lots of stylish clothes there.
But he hasn't said where he'll be staying yet.
Director Wang saw Xing Baohua walk over to him and showed her the revised budget. This time it was reduced to more than 30,000 yuan.
Xing Baohua nodded and said, "Director Wang, just this once. Next time, we'll do the film editing directly. If this one is done well and we make some money, I'll invest in a big-budget film for you to play around with."
Anyone can make empty promises! We just have to keep Director Wang in suspense, so that if we film this well, we can have another chance to do it next time.
Director Wang nodded and asked Xing Baohua, "What did you talk about with that person?"
Xing Baohua looked at the girl again, and the girl was also looking at him with her chin resting on her hand.
"I'm telling you, there was a misunderstanding that almost turned me into who I was back then, do you believe me?"
"Slow down, you're making me a little dizzy. What do you mean by becoming the person I was back then?" Director Wang asked directly.
"She asked me which school I went to, and I said it was the 'Homebound University,' which she mistook for 'Garydon' from America.' Then she said she'd come over to my place that night to talk about painting."
Director Wang, having been through similar experiences, glanced sideways at the girl and nodded, saying, "It's the same old trick. Just stay calm. If she knew you'd never been abroad, she'd probably give you a piece of her mind."
"Luckily, I didn't tell her the location," Xing Baohua said.
“If she’s willing, she can find someone. Why don’t you go back to Luzhong first?” Director Wang said.
"Let's wait a bit. I'll call the accountant at noon and have them wire the money over, then I'll head back." After saying that, Xing Baohua asked, "Old Wang, has anyone come to see you tonight to discuss the script lately?"
"Stop joking. I'm already so old. Besides, once bitten, twice shy. One experience is enough. If it happens again, I'll be dead." Director Wang said to Xing Baohua with dissatisfaction.
Xing Baohua chuckled and turned to leave.
Guo Hongxia wanted to follow in his footsteps, but she never left her post.
Director Wang glanced at her again and shook his head with a wry smile.
After leaving the studio, Xing Baohua, having nothing else to do, went back to the guesthouse to call Xiao Bo, a girl from the electronics factory, and tell her to wire 40,000 yuan. The address left was the Normal University Guesthouse.
When he had nothing to do, he went for a stroll. He heard that there were teahouses and storytellers in the Grand View Garden, so he decided to go and take a look.
The No. 18 bus happens to pass by there, so there's no need to transfer.
Xing Baohua didn't know why this place was called Grand View Garden, but it was definitely not the Grand View Garden that Granny Liu visited.
There were many people, and there were even street vendors selling clothes and shoe insoles. Each stall had three to five people around it, especially the clothing stall, which was completely surrounded.
They couldn't find the teahouse or the clapper talk show, but they did see a movie theater. One film caught Xing Baohua's attention; a huge portrait was painted on the high entrance hall. At that time, there were no large printed posters; everything had to be painted by hand.
There's also a short film synopsis; the director and actors are top-notch. Director Xie, the one who made *Hibiscus Town*.
There's also Master Tang, who later became a specialist in playing great figures, and I think he even did an advertisement for an excavator company in the provincial capital.
Let's take a look.
After buying a ticket and going inside, Xing Baohua watched for about half an hour before remembering which movie it was.
I haven't seen the whole thing, but I have seen the background music clips. Isn't this the background music for "The Bloodstained Glory" that he was looking for?
I'll have Director Wang make a copy later, edit it, and find a girl who can sing to record it.
After watching the movie, it was past dinner time, so I thought I'd buy a couple of steamed buns to tide me over.
Just as I stepped out of the movie theater, I heard someone say, "Are you Xing Baohua?"
