Chapter 96



Maureen's schedule is extremely tight.

She rinsed her mouth with mouthwash while going to the bathroom, said goodbye to Zhang Yansheng, and went straight to Yue Song.

This young man is still as handsome as a pine tree, but his calm demeanor makes it hard to tell that he is still a student. I guess he was often instructed and taught by his grandfather, a business tycoon, and was influenced by him since he was a child.

Compared to rookies like Zhang Yansheng and Xu Lichen, Yue Song has obviously stepped into the business circle and possesses the qualities that a businessman should have.

Maureen steeled herself to cope. The closer it gets to the end, the more I feel that Yue Song may become the next sponsor of "Out of the Solar System".

Sure enough, Yue Song finally asked to go for a field trip.

Maureen suppressed her joy and said, "I'll arrange it."

"I hope it will be as soon as possible. Because..." Yue Song said apologetically, "school is about to start."

Maureen covered her face. If Yue Song hadn't said so himself, she would have forgotten that Yue Song was still a student.

Yue Song also laughed. At this moment, his eyes and brows revealed a bit of the lightness that belongs to young people.

"I'll confirm it for you later." Maureen said with a smile, "This is the second time I've heard the phrase 'school is about to start' today."

Yue Song still remembered that Maureen was going to meet two of her high school clients today, so he smiled and asked, "How are the high school students?"

"It's settled." Maureen said, "The parents were very relieved. They didn't come in person. They just sent a lawyer to the two of them and let them negotiate on their own. It went very smoothly."

"Congratulations." Yue Song smiled, "Then I'll wait for your call."

Maureen said goodbye to Yue Song and went back to the hotel to pick up her checked luggage. On the way, she called Xie Dong to tell him, "Ms. Zhang and Mr. Xu have finalized the deal for 44 million." Xie Dong kept saying "That's great, that's great" on the other end of the phone.

Maureen told him Xu Lichen's request and said with a smile, "He actually just wants to wear that mecha combat suit."

Xie Dong laughed loudly: "I figured it out! That day, Xiao Xu stared at the combat uniform with his eyes wide open, and he couldn't even walk! Miss Zhang dragged him away."

Maureen wondered why Zhang Yansheng was Miss Zhang and Xu Lichen was Xiao Xu?

Xie Dong suddenly started gossiping: "Hey, Xiao Mo, what's the relationship between these two kids? Are they..."

"I don't know what their relationship is, don't ask me." Maureen said, "But I can see that Miss Zhang can control Mr. Xu."

Xie Dong laughed wildly.

"Then I'll leave his side to you." Maureen said, "The second thing is, I found a potential investor for us, and the other party hopes to come over to investigate as soon as possible."

"Sure, sure!" Xie Dong was surprised and delighted, and agreed immediately, "Xiao Mo, you are so capable! I will be here to welcome him anytime. When will he come?"

"I'll check the time with him again."

Maureen went through security at the airport and immediately replied to Yue Song: "Anytime."

Yue Song said, "I have plans for the next two days... How about this, I'll fly over tomorrow morning."

Maureen finalized the time with both parties and arranged the specific matters. The day's work finally came to an end, and I boarded the plane with peace of mind.

The next day, Xie Dong received Yue Song who flew over.

Yue Song did not wear an expensive suit or a neatly tailored shirt like he did in the office. He was dressed casually and carried a double-shoulder backpack, but no other luggage.

"I have other plans, so I'll go back tonight," he said.

Such casual attire clearly shows his youthfulness.

Xie Dong thought that Maureen was amazing. All the sponsors she found could make their debut just by relying on their looks.

Xie Dong knew that Yue Song was the grandson of a certain group boss. Although he was young, his demeanor clearly showed that he was a noble young man. Xie Dong did not dare to neglect him at all and immediately addressed Yue Song as "Mr. Yue."

Yue Song smiled and said, "I'm not used to it. Mr. Yue is my grandfather."

Xie Dong had met many people, so he responded quickly: "Then, Mr. Xiao Yue."

This is how the name was decided.

Yue Song looked at the scene and asked many questions. Some of them were quite pointed, asking directly about the many difficulties that the crew might face or had already encountered. He is much more difficult to deal with than the two high school students who came before. Xie Dong and the producer cheered up to deal with him.

When it came time for lunch, there was no longer the atmosphere of toasting with Xu Lichen as before. Everyone sat upright, as if they were attending a lecture.

This meal was not an easy one as I had to respond to Mr. Yue's questions at any time. Several assistant directors ate their food while listening to the miserable old Xie talking nonstop.

The young man nodded occasionally and listened attentively.

Finally, Mr. Xiao Yue said kindly, "I don't have anything else to ask for now. Let's eat first."

Xie Dongcai breathed a sigh of relief.

The producer said, "Mr. Xiao Yue is also from K City? K City is really a place with talented people. We just received two investors a few days ago, also from K City, and they are also very young."

Yue Song smiled and said, "Are they those two high school students?"

"Oh, you know it." The producer said, "Yes, it's high school students. You K City is really amazing!"

Yue Song was still somewhat curious after hearing about these two "high school students" repeatedly these past two days. He knew that Maureen would not disclose the information of her clients, but these people might not, so he asked tentatively: "What do their families do?"

The producer said, "I really don't know. The girl's last name is Zhang, and the boy's last name is...what was it?"

Several people at the dinner table said at the same time: "Xu! His surname is Xu!"

Yue Song thought about it and wondered which two families in K City with the surname Zhang and Xu might be.

An assistant director took out his cell phone and said, "It's them."

The phone was handed to him by someone else. Yue Song took it and looked at it, then stared at it slightly.

The photo on the phone was a group photo taken on the set, which included Xie Dong, other assistant directors, and a young boy and girl.

Yue Song deleted the photo of the girl at the beginning, but it is hard to forget that face once you have seen it. Besides, Yue Song has such a good memory and he was so impressed by her at that time - so deep that he went to ask his cousin who she was.

Yue Song really didn't expect that it was her.

He looked closely. She is still wearing makeup. Although she is so young, she loves to wear makeup and always pretends to be an adult.

The color of the lipstick is still bright and the person is still cool. There was no smile on her face when the photo was taken, and it was obvious that this photo was not her idea.

Somehow, Yue Song looked at the girl in the photo and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He went to see another young boy, probably another high school student. He is handsome, is he her boyfriend? Young couple investing together?

The slight curve at the corner of Yue Song's mouth smoothed out again, and he returned the phone to the other person: "I don't know either of them."

"But," he sighed, "you are so young."

Everyone at the dinner table thought the same thing: You’re not that old either!

It’s just that they can be close to Xu Lichen, but they don’t dare to speak casually in front of Yue Song.

I can only keep these words to myself.

Yue Song left in the evening. The producer sent him to the airport and waved goodbye to him with a smile on his face. After Mr. Xiao Yue disappeared, the producer turned around and went to the airport pickup area.

After waiting there for less than half an hour, Xu Lichen appeared.

The producer waved: "Xiao Xu!"

"Brother Wang!" Xu Lichen still remembered this producer. He could remember anyone who had had a drink with him. He did not feel awkward calling someone old enough to be his father a brother. He waved his arms vigorously and walked over with a cheerful face: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

His steps were fast, revealing a sense of impatience.

When the producer saw Xu Lichen, he somehow relaxed all over. He laughed and gave Xu Lichen a bear hug. The two of them walked towards the car affectionately, chattering all the way.

"Old Xie, I've arranged several shots for you to show your face!"

"Brother Wang, I told you that I must wear that mecha combat suit! I made it clear to Brother Xie on the phone!"

"Put it on! I told you to! Don't complain about the stench. I wear that piece of clothing quite often, so it smells like sweat!"

"We're all men, so why would anyone complain about someone else's stinky smell? But Brother Xie has already said hello to me, so I brought a bottle of cologne..."

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

Since Zhang Yansheng's rebirth, his daily routine has been super regular and super healthy - as a high school student, with fixed school and after-school times every day, it's impossible for him to be unhealthy.

So being woken up by a cell phone at three in the morning is really annoying.

But when Zhang Yansheng saw that the person calling was Xu Lichen, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the first thought that came to his mind was, "Did his parents have a falling out?"

When the video was connected, Xu Lichen on the other end had a few streaks of coal dust on his left face, blood on his right face, and he was smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Look at me! Look at me! Zhang Yansheng, look at me!" He stretched out his arms to zoom out the camera, showing as much of his mecha combat suit as possible, and asked, "Am I handsome? Am I handsome?"

Zhang Yansheng: “…”

Zhang Yansheng felt as if a volcano had risen on the top of his head, and was about to erupt!

If it weren't for the Internet, she would punch Xu Lichen in the handsome face! Hit him until his nose bleeds!

"Xu Lichen, are you sick? Do you know what time it is now!!!" She wanted to yell at him, but she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and seemed to have low blood pressure. The words she spoke were weak and she lacked the momentum she had during the day.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Xu Lichen was not afraid as he knew Zhang Yansheng couldn't reach him.

He said arrogantly, "It's only three o'clock in the evening. Look at you, lying on the soft bed, sleeping soundly! Do you know what some people are doing? Look at me, Brother Xie! They've been filming until now! The entire crew is working non-stop. I tell you! Look at him! Look at yourself! Hey, don't bury your face. Look at me again! I'm going to go on stage soon! I won't be able to see you! Look at me again! Hurry up!"

He urged again and again.

Zhang Yansheng was too tired to scold him. She buried her face in the pillow, regained consciousness, stabilized her blood pressure, and raised her face after a long while: "You passed away? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I can't report everything to you. You're not my mother." Xu Lichen chuckled, "I told Brother Xie that school would start in a few days, and asked him to arrange it for me as soon as possible. He said that if I could come here today, I could be on camera today, so I flew over without saying a word. I've been waiting here for six or seven hours, and finally it's my turn to be on camera! It wasn't easy, I tell you! It was hard work!"

There were many people busying around behind him, and Zhang Yansheng could imagine the situation over there. Especially after this movie became a hit in his previous life, the internet was flooded with all kinds of behind-the-scenes footage. Zhang Yansheng knew how hard it was to film.

It’s really not easy. After so much hard work, we finally reaped rich rewards.

Zhang Yansheng rubbed his eyes and said, "I'll emphasize this to you again. You are not allowed to let the director make random changes to the play! You are not allowed to let laymen direct the professionals!"

"Oh my, you're even more talkative than my mom. I know everything!" Xu Lichen said, "Can you please turn on the light? Your messy hair and pale face... are a bit scary."

It's like a horror movie.

Still a good-looking ghost!

Zhang Yansheng: “…”

Zhang Yansheng rubbed his face: "I just want to ask you one thing..."

Xu Lichen: "You say!"

"You..." Zhang Yansheng's face, which was tinged with blue by the light of the phone, leaned closer, "Have you finished your winter vacation homework?"
