Chapter 270(1/2)
This cry cannot be in vain
There are so many pastries in the bamboo box that I can’t finish them all in a while.
Mingdai tasted two pieces and put them away.
Out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the scenery passing by outside the window, and Ming Dai said:
"By the way, where are we going?"
"Is your question a little too late?"
He Mu's smiling voice spread over jade like a clear spring.
Mingdai touched the tip of her nose: "I forgot."
He Mu explained: "On the way to take you back."
The main filming location of the crew is not in the center of Sioux City, but in the ancient town on the outskirts of the city. The crew's dormitory is also there. It takes about an hour's drive to get to the restaurant just now.
What Mingdai was curious about was: "How does my uncle know where I live?"
He Mu: "So, how do you think I know where you eat?"
Mingdai: "Are you asking Lingling? That's not right. Lingling doesn't know that I have a crew dinner tonight. She didn't call me... Well, my uncle has great powers!"
He Mu caught a glimpse of Ming Dai's thumbs up.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't cover the sky with one hand."
"Isn't it?"
Ming Dai's rhetorical question made He Mu smile.
No, it should be said that his smile and good mood seemed to have never stopped since he met Ming Dai.
Especially when hearing this silly rhetorical question, Hemu was so funny that it was rare for him to make a joke:
"You don't even know if you've been sold by me?"
"No."
Ming Dai flatly denied it.
"Um?"
"My uncle will never do that."
He Mu looked at Ming Dai with a firm look on her face, her almond-shaped eyes filled with unconditional trust in him... The smile was slightly condensed, and there was an unspeakable shock.
It turns out that there are really people who believe him so far without any purpose or interest, without any unnecessary thoughts and calculations.
That kind of sincere, pure and clear mind is clearer than crystal, more precious than gems, and more dazzling than gold.
It actually greatly touched his soul, like Hong Zhongda Lu, and it was difficult to recover for a long time.
"Little uncle?"
Mingdai thought she had seen it wrong.
Are you and Mu Zai... dazed?
"Well." He Mu suddenly came to his senses and said in a low voice, "I'm a little surprised that you actually trust me so much."
"Really?" Ming Dai scratched her face, a little embarrassed.
Of course she couldn't say that because of her previous life, she knew that He Mu was kind to strangers, so she decided that he was trustworthy.
She racked her brains and could only come up with one sentence: "Because he is my uncle."
He Mu hummed in a low voice.
After a while again.
He Mu asked casually: "Did something happen just now?"
Ming Dai was stunned.
To be honest, she had nowhere to vent her anger because of Ning Shu.
But looking back now... that anger seemed to be far away from her. She didn't know when it had dissipated without a trace. Ming Dai had almost forgotten the feeling of anger.
Is it because of He Mu's arrival?
Mingdai doesn't know.
But she didn't want to bother He Mu with such a trivial matter, so she immediately prepared to deny it.
He Mu saw Ming Dai's little thoughts, and before she opened her mouth:
"You don't mean to believe me? So, shouldn't you lie to me?"
Mingdai's lies were instantly stuck in her throat.
Finally, she had to admit: "A little something happened."
He Mu turned sideways slightly, with the intention of continuing to listen.
Mingdai really couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to be honest and honest:
"There is a slight problem with the investment of our crew..."
Then he briefly and concisely talked about what happened tonight.
Of course, she tried her best to hide the investor Wang Lei's coveting of her and brushed off his unreasonable troubles.
But how could she hide her speaking skills from He Mu?
He Mu, who has seen more and understood human nature more deeply, almost instantly guessed the real precarious situation Ming Dai faced tonight.
He was rarely angry, but he hid it very well. Only a hint of something strange could be heard in his voice:
"Did Ning Shu come out to save the siege in the end?"
"Well, there was quite a commotion here. He happened to be here, and Wang Lei was afraid of him...Does your uncle know Ning Shu?"
Everyone, including Ming Dai, had to admit that if Ning Shu hadn't arrived tonight, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been easily settled.
At least one trip to the police station is indispensable.
By then, I'm afraid the entire crew will follow suit and make entertainment headlines.
He Mu: "I knew his grandfather."
The implication is that only Grandpa Ning Shu's level is qualified to associate with him, and he does not have much contact with juniors like Ning Shu.
...Versailles, the real Versailles.
Ming Dai felt a bit heavy, and she almost laughed again.
He Mu glanced at her helplessly: "That investor's name is Wang Lei, right?"
Mingdai blinked and deliberately joked: "What? Is my uncle going to retaliate against him?"
Unexpectedly, He Mu actually nodded seriously: "Yes."
Mingdai opened her mouth in surprise: "Actually, no need..."
He Mu said seriously: "This is called eliminating harm for the people."
This reason was so fair that Mingdai couldn't find any basis to refute it, so she had to admit that what He Mu said made sense.
At this time, He Mu asked again: "Without this investor, does your crew lack funds?"
Ming Dai: "It's a bit lacking, but the heroine of our crew is Sister Chu Yunping. She has agreed to invest 20 million."
She didn't even bother to mention a word to Ning Shu before, but now Ming Dai is explaining it to He Mu in detail.
He Mu: "We're still short of money, aren't we? Besides, the 20 million from before can be used easily."
"Although this is the case, but..."
"How about leaving it to me?"
"ah?"
Ming Dai was stunned because of He Mu's suggestion.
Soon she waved her hand and said no, because Ming Dai really didn't want to trouble He Mu over such a trivial matter.
"My uncle is a big shot and has a lot of things to do every day. There is no need to worry about such trivial matters of our crew!"
Ming Dai shook her head like a rattle.
He Mu looked at her seriously:
"How can it be said to be a trivial matter when it concerns your future?"
Mingdai was stunned by such seriousness.
"That's not necessary..."
"What did you call me?"
He Mu interrupted Ming Dai.
To be continued...
