Chapter 422: No comparison, no harm
Luxury cars, luxury houses, celebrities!
Listening to Zhuang Wuying's introduction, Director Xiang felt like he was listening to a story.
If I hadn't heard the story, how could I have heard such a report, but Zhuang Wuying would not play such a joke on me.
In the end, he could only say to Zhuang Wuying after she finished her report: "Old Zhuang, you and Mr. Cheng live together, you have to help each other."
"Haha, if there is anything, please report to me at any time."
Zhuang Wuying was not surprised at Director Xiang's performance.
After all, if you hadn’t experienced it yourself, you wouldn’t think it was real.
After saying goodbye to the factory director, Zhuang Wuying returned to his residence.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan was lying on the bed, flipping through a book on chemical engineering brought by Zhuang Wuying, comparing it with what he remembered while reading.
Although he did not have a deep understanding of chemical engineering in his previous life.
However, he went to the library so many times during his college years that after traveling through time, he could remember all the books he had read clearly in his mind.
So in this comparison, Cheng Xuyuan not only found more than a dozen errors, but also saw dozens of products that could be upgraded.
Zhuang Wuying saw his appearance at this moment with great interest.
A student of liberal arts is so devoted to his chemistry book. This is...
With infinite emotion in his heart, Zhuang Wuying began to lie down on the bed to rest. Today was too tiring and he didn't want to talk.
"Brother Zhuang, Mr. Cha just sent over a set of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He signed it personally and promised to give it to you." Cheng Xuyuan put down the chemistry book in his hand and said to Zhuang Wuying.
Zhuang Wuying was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that when he was talking to Mr. Cha, he promised to give him a set of books.
Originally, he thought Mr. Cha was joking, but unexpectedly, he actually delivered it.
Looking at the set of beautifully printed books signed with a pseudonym, Zhuang Wuying felt an inexplicable sense of emotion in his heart.
He said in a deep voice: "Xuyuan, thank you!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "This is a gift from Mr. Cha. You should thank Mr. Cha."
"This is because they are giving you face. Otherwise, they will know who I am!"
Zhuang Wuying was not being pretentious when he said this. He knew very well that Mr. Cha sent the book to Cheng Xuyuan as a favor. If it weren't for Cheng Xuyuan, how would he have the opportunity to come into contact with Mr. Cha?
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhuang, we are friends. It's a bit strange for you to say that."
"Go to bed early."
Looking at the four exquisite volumes of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Zhuang Wuying suddenly said anxiously, "Xuyuan, can I take this book... this book back with me?"
"Of course." Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Last year I came to Hong Kong for exchanges, and Mr. Cha gave me a set of books, which I took back."
"Being given a book is a good thing. Just go back and tell Director Xiang about it."
After hearing Cheng Xuyuan's relaxed tone, Zhuang Wuying finally felt relieved.
The two of them stopped talking. One was reading a chemistry book, and the other was reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes. They complemented each other very well.
At noon the next day, under the arrangement of Xiao Chen who came to greet them, everyone boarded a plane to the United States.
Cheng Xuyuan, who was bored on the plane, continued to read books on chemistry, while Zhuang Wuying's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was very popular.
Even the bored factory manager asked for a book to kill time.
Time flies, and after a nap, the plane finally landed in New York, the United States.
As soon as Cheng Xuyuan and a group of people from Xingzhou Chemical Plant walked out of the airport, they saw a big sign welcoming them.
Of course, the main purpose was to welcome the delegation from Xingzhou Chemical Plant.
This was a special arrangement. Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to stay with Director Xiang and the others for another two days, he heard someone calling him loudly in English.
Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Mr. Miller and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties.
The person who called him was the middle-aged man.
Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't know the middle-aged man, he still greeted Mr. Miller with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Miller, nice to meet you." Cheng Xuyuan extended his hand towards Mr. Miller.
But the moment Mr. Miller shook hands with him, he stretched out his arms toward him.
Faced with this situation, although Cheng Xuyuan himself did not like hugs very much, he still hugged Mr. Miller tightly.
"Cheng, you're finally here. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to make it to the awards ceremony!" Mr. Miller said with a smile, "In your words, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."
Cheng Xuyuan memorized all the books from his previous life, so English was naturally no problem for him. After chatting with Mr. Miller for a while, he brought Mr. Miller to Director Xiang and others.
After a brief introduction, both parties got into their cars.
Cheng Xuyuan's accommodation and everything were arranged by Mr. Miller. This had been agreed upon before he came, so he didn't need to bother asking the factory director and others.
The two parties left the airport together. Director Xiang and his party were greeted by a minibus that seemed even more shabby than the one in Hong Kong, while Cheng Xuyuan got into Mr. Miller's Cadillac.
"Director, we are both going abroad. Look at Mr. Cheng, and then look at us." A young engineer said with a bit of self-mockery as he watched the black car whizzing away.
Director Xiang also had such feelings in his heart, but as the leader of this team, he still had to maintain his authority.
So he glanced at the subordinate and said calmly: "We came out to discuss the production line this time. Every penny was paid by the factory. This is real money."
"But Writer Cheng is different. He was invited by Americans to go out this time."
"Every penny of his expenses was paid by others."
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. If any of you have Cheng Xuyuan's ability, just go and take a car."
“You have my full support.”
The factory director's words immediately quieted down the young people in the car.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally didn't know that his departure would actually cause such a small disturbance.
"Xuyuan, I asked you to come here this time, not only because The Pursuit of Happyness won the New York Drama Critics Award, but also because there is something else I want to discuss with you."
After greeting Mr. Wan, Mr. Miller walked solemnly towards Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan and Mr. Miller had met each other a lot in China, and they were considered acquaintances, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Miller, please tell me."
"There's a director in Hollywood who's taken a fancy to your script of The Pursuit of Happyness, and he wants to adapt it into a movie."
Mr. Miller said: "I think, given his ability, it will definitely achieve good results."
Cheng Xuyuan was not too skeptical that "The Pursuit of Happyness" would be a hit if it were made into a movie. After all, he adapted it from the popular movie.
He smiled and said, "I believe in your vision, Mr. Miller. When that gentleman is free, we can talk about it."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan agree so readily, Mr. Miller was very happy and said with a smile: "Xuyuan, I will accompany you during the negotiation and will never let you suffer any loss."
At this point, he continued, "I invited you here this time for another reason, which is that I hope you can get more exposure to New York life."
"See if you can write a script like The Pursuit of Happyness."
"Although the play 'The Pursuit of Happyness' is still very popular and I think it can be performed for another year or two, we still need to make full preparations for the future."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard what Mr. Miller said, other popular plays in his previous life appeared in his mind. He smiled and said, "I must take a good look around New York and try to write something before I leave."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was full of confidence, Mr. Miller smiled secretly in his heart.
Although this young man is talented, he is a little too proud.
A script like "The Pursuit of Happyness" needs to be polished repeatedly. How can it be written in just a few days?
But although he thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he smiled encouragingly and said, "Then I will look forward to your new work."
Mr. Miller arranged for Cheng Xuyuan to live in the Plaza Hotel. Although it was just a standard room, the room rate was quite expensive.
After helping Cheng Xuyuan settle down and inviting Cheng Xuyuan to have a meal in the hotel, Mr. Miller left.
However, before leaving, he left his assistant's contact information and asked Cheng Xuyuan to contact the assistant if he had any questions.
After seeing Mr. Miller off, Cheng Xuyuan sat in the room of the Plaza Hotel, his heart filled with emotion.
Even if evaluated from the perspective of future generations, Cheng Xuyuan still felt that the Plaza Hotel was very luxurious.
Especially from Cheng Xuyuan's current room, he can take in the beautiful scenery all around.
After settling down at the Plaza Hotel, Cheng Xuyuan started his schedule according to Mr. Miller's arrangements.
Go to the theater to watch the performance of "The Pursuit of Happyness", meet the director who wanted to shoot "The Pursuit of Happyness", wander around some famous attractions in New York, and of course, receive the Drama Critics Award...
The days passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a week had gone by.
During this period, Cheng Xuyuan lived a very fulfilling life. Not only did he have the prize money of the Drama Critics Award, but also the US$20,000 performance share given to him by Mr. Miller.
This money is enough for his expenses.
On this day, he had just finished lunch and was about to go for a stroll on Fifth Avenue, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the hotel, he saw Zhuang Wuying and a few others standing outside the hotel and making gestures.
Each of their faces was filled with envy.
"Brother Zhuang, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan went over to greet them.
Zhuang Wuying and the others also saw Cheng Xuyuan coming out. After they were stunned for a moment, Zhuang Wuying asked, "Xuyuan, do you live here?"
"Yes." Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice.
Zhuang Wuying's voice was trembling as he said, "Xuyuan, I heard that the room rates here are very expensive. Are you really going to live here?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhuang, I'll take you guys to sit down later."
"How are your talks on importing the equipment going?"
Zhuang Wuying and the others were originally very excited because Cheng Xuyuan was going to take them upstairs to sit for a while, but when they heard Cheng Xuyuan asking about the introduction of equipment, they immediately became listless.
It doesn't look good.
"Xuyuan, stop talking. It might be troublesome to introduce the equipment this time." Zhuang Wuying pondered and said with a sigh.
