Amei couldn't help but ask, "Manager, may I ask who that young man was? You seem to know him."
Ah Mao rolled his eyes and smiled, then took out his phone from his pocket and showed it to Ah Mei: "You've probably seen this TV series, right?"
Amei glanced at it and immediately blurted out, "It's 'The School Beauty's Bedtime Master'! It's really good. I watch it every time I eat; it's my electronic pickled vegetable!"
Ah Mao laughed and said, "That's right, that young man is Lin Chen, the young billionaire and owner of 'Lu Tian Lin's' company, the producer of 'The School Beauty's Bedside Master'!"
"What?!" Amei exclaimed in surprise, she could hardly believe her ears. She had actually had the honor of serving such an important person, and even became a trainee manager because of his appreciation.
Sister Hua listened in stunned silence, her heart filled with regret. She regretted not performing well earlier and missing such a golden opportunity! At that moment, she truly felt like crying; her regret was so intense it felt like her guts were tied in knots.
...
"Brother Lin Chen, I thought you were a bit stingy before, but I didn't expect you to buy her a gift worth 10 million!" Liu Tiantian clung to Lin Chen, her face beaming with joy, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
Lin Chen chuckled softly and affectionately patted her head: "Who told you to be the most beautiful Tian Tian in my heart? I'd do anything for you."
The deep affection contained in those words made Liu Tiantian's heart tremble. She hugged Lin Chen tightly, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed his cheek.
The two smiled at each other, joined hands, and embarked on their journey home together. Seeing this, Liu Xinxin, watching from afar, also smiled with satisfaction, feeling gratified that her sister had found such a good home.
Lin Chen's return this time wasn't just to spend time with Wang Nanshan and Liu Xinxin, who were about to become parents; he also prepared many gifts. Of course, there were gifts for Liu Xinxin, but also some carefully chosen items for Wang Nanshan. After all, they were about to welcome a new life and needed quite a few things. Naturally, Lin Chen didn't forget Ning Jiaqi and Su Yanan either, preparing special gifts for them as well.
However, time flies, and Lin Chen had to return soon. Although his trip back was short, many unexpected things had happened. What worried him most was the news from the film crew—the sample footage of *The Wandering Saturn* was complete!
As the first sci-fi blockbuster of the "Lu Tian Lin Clan," this film carries too many expectations and efforts from Lin Chen. He must go back in person to make the final decision.
Lin Chen decided to let Liu Tiantian stay at home because her scenes in "The School Beauty's Bedtime Master 3" had finished filming. As the plot progresses, Liu Tiantian's appearances will become less frequent, and Ding Jiaying will gradually replace her as the new female lead.
This design is intended to give Liu Tiantian more room for development, allowing her to shine in the fields of singing and dancing, and also to prepare for the upcoming feature film "Urban Campus Beauty Cultivation".
So, Lin Chen embarked on his journey back to Lu Tian City alone. He didn't tell anyone about his itinerary, but when he appeared at the headquarters of "Lu Tian Lin's" company, the entire media of Lu Tian City and even the whole country were in an uproar. They all speculated about what important matter Lin Chen's secret return was for.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the set of "Lu Tian Lin Shi" was tense and solemn. Lin Chen strode towards the film crew. Along the way, the company's employees greeted him with bows and greetings: "Hello, Chairman!" However, Lin Chen had no time to pay attention to these greetings; his mind was only on the sample footage he was about to watch.
As Lin Chen entered the film set, he saw the director, screenwriter, post-production staff, and others all standing ready. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Come on, show me."
Soon, an employee turned on the large screen, and the sample video began to play. Lin Chen stared intently at the screen, not missing a single detail. As he watched, he asked various questions: "How long is it?" "Are the post-production special effects all in place?"
When he heard that "the budget has been exceeded, so the special effects are a watered-down version," Lin Chen frowned and said, "Are you kidding me?" His tone was tinged with displeasure and disappointment.
Everyone on set was on edge, barely daring to breathe. They knew that every change in Lin Chen's emotions tugged at their heartstrings. Seeing this, director Nuolan quickly stepped forward to explain, "Chairman Lin, please don't be angry. This is just a sample, after all, and there are still many areas for improvement. I believe that as long as we all work together, we can definitely create a great work!"
Listening to Norlan's words, Lin Chen almost forgot that this old man was an internationally renowned director who had directed Oscar-winning films that grossed tens of millions of dollars!
And now they've produced this monstrosity, and they're even feeling good about themselves?
Sighing silently, Lin Chen frowned as he looked at the sample footage in front of him. Although the work was indeed much better than other works on the market at the same time, it was still far from his ideal standard.
His stern gaze swept over everyone present, his deep voice echoing across the set: "Do you think you're making a comedy?"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire set fell into a deathly silence. Everyone held their breath, heads bowed like children caught doing something wrong. Lin Chen looked at them, a wave of helplessness and disappointment washing over him: "I gave you 300 million! 300 million! That's almost all my wealth! And this is the rubbish you produced?"
His voice suddenly rose, tinged with anger and resentment.
The crew members all looked ashamed. They knew they had done their best, but faced with Lin Chen's expectations, they still felt utterly unworthy. At this moment, Lin Chen sighed, his tone softening slightly: "Alright, alright, I'll tell you the problems I found. You're all staying today, so hurry up and fix them!"
Although everyone harbored some complaints, they dared not disobey Lin Chen's orders and could only nod silently. However, at this moment, director Nuolan stepped forward again. He remained confident in his work, believing it was already good enough, and even suggested holding a celebration banquet that evening. He threatened to strike or even quit if Lin Chen didn't agree!
Lin Chen frowned even more upon hearing this. He knew how hard the crew worked and understood their desire to relax. But considering the heavy workload ahead, he initially wanted to refuse. However, on second thought, perhaps giving them a break and a proper rest would actually improve their efficiency later on?
Most importantly, he doesn't want to strain his relationship with Norlan right now. After all, the film still depends on him as the director, and he's already paid so much in salary! If they fall out, wouldn't everything be for nothing?
So, Lin Chen reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you face then. Go drinking and picking up girls tonight. All your expenses tonight... will be on your Director Nuo's tab. And you can do whatever you want for the next week, which means I'm giving you seven days off. Have fun! When you're done, come back and get back to work!"
These words instantly caused an uproar on set. The crew cheered, expressing their gratitude for Lin Chen's generosity. Led by Lin Chen, the large group walked out of the company gate.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the company gate, they were surrounded by a group of reporters and social media anchors waiting at the entrance. Lin Chen felt a surge of disgust as he looked at these paparazzi and anchors. He led his team to push past them, and the group boarded the company's luxury bus, heading towards their target nightclub—"Boundless Happiness" club.
This club, owned by the Jin family, is an extremely luxurious nightclub and bar in Lu Tiancheng. Upon entering, everyone was immediately drawn in by its extravagant and decadent atmosphere. That night, they reveled and played to their hearts' content, releasing their inner stress and fatigue!
As the boss, Lin Chen naturally became the target of everyone's attempts to get him drunk. Especially Nuolan, who was determined to drink Lin Chen to death when he learned that he would be paying the bill! However, Lin Chen was prepared, and no matter how many cups they poured for him, he remained as steady as a mountain.
After drinking for a while, the men and women realized they were no match for Lin Chen, so they gave up and started dancing to relax!
