When Zhang Xiaomou and Tong Lin arrived at Li Mubai's room, Liu Ruyan and Li Mubai had already finished their meal. At this time, Li Mubai was lazily sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and the news broadcast on the TV was just playing.
Finish.
Pointing to the sofa opposite, Li Mubai's posture did not change and he said calmly: "Sit down, I'm not used to talking with others with my head raised."
"You take a look at this first." As he spoke, Li Mubai threw a stack of manuscripts to Zhang Xiao, then turned to look at Tong Lin. Seeing him sitting upright with a blank look on his face, he continued: "I have
There are hundreds of ways to keep you in the capital and have nothing to do with me. But I am not a person who likes violence, so I decided to give you a chance."
Li Mubai's words made Tong Lin feel like he was on a roller coaster. His face was pale just before, but after hearing that Li Mubai was willing to give him a chance, he almost burst into tears and said in his heart: Uncle Li, you still have to
Just treat me like a fart!
In the past two days, he didn't know how many people he found, but no matter who he found, when he heard the three words Li Mubai, it was like meeting the God of Plague. Some even hung up without even the most basic perfunctory.
Got the phone call.
This also made Tong Lin understand what kind of iron plate he had hit. He wanted to leave the capital secretly, but a buddy who had a good relationship with him persuaded him that it was best not to have such an idea and stay.
There may be a chance for Li Mubai to forgive him in the capital. If he leaves secretly, it will be a slap in Li Mubai's face. If he wants to solve the problem, the price he has to pay may not be something he can bear.
"Master Li, thank you. As long as I can do it, I will agree to any conditions." Tong Lin stood up with tears in his eyes.
"Don't be too happy too early." Li Mubai did not have a straight face, and his tone of voice was very calm. He said lightly: "To be honest, I really haven't thought about what I want to ask for right now. You'd better go back first.
I will let you know when I think of it."
After speaking, regardless of what Tong Lin thought, Li Mubai waved his hand, indicating that he could leave now.
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Li." Tong Lin didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. He even felt like he had regained a new life. The corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, but when he was farting
When he walked to the door in a hurry, he suddenly thought of a more serious problem. He stopped, turned around and asked: "Master Li, do you want me to go back to Shanxi or...?"
Although Tong Lin felt that this possibility was not very high, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Do you still want to upset me by staying in the capital?" Li Mubai snorted coldly.
"No, no, I'll go back to Shanxi right away. I'll leave right away." Li Mubai's words were the best news he heard today. In the blink of an eye, this thirty-year-old man was as excited as a child.
ran out of the room.
Seeing this scene in Liu Ruyan's eyes, she finally understood the true meaning of the saying "the people do not fight with the officials". No matter how rich you are, you are nothing more than a piece of cake in the face of power.
"Master Li, this script is so exciting!"
In less than twenty minutes, Zhang Xiaomou had finished reading the manuscript Li Mubai handed him.
At the beginning, he didn't understand the meaning of the script Li Mubai threw to him, but when he received it and saw "Once Upon a Time in China" on it, he understood that it was a script.
However, what surprised Zhang Xiaomou the most was that the script was so wonderfully written. There was nothing superfluous in it. Although there were only a few pages, the content deeply attracted him. As a director, he could definitely tell
The quality of a script depends on it, especially for a director like him who doesn't have talent, but just doesn't have the opportunity.
"How much does it cost to make this book?" Li Mubai raised his hand and touched the wings of his nose. After all, he was a layman and didn't know much about this industry.
"Master Li, although this book is very good, but..." Zhang Xiaomou pondered for a long time, but in the end he still did not say the next half of the sentence.
Li Mubai saw Zhang Xiaomou's expression and seemed to understand that this guy might have a lot to hide. Then he said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There are only three of us in this room, so there is no need to worry about spreading it."
Despite Li Mubai's guarantee, Zhang Xiaomou was still very cautious. He opened the door to see if there was anyone outside, then walked to Li Mubai and lowered his voice and said: "Master Li, although this book is very good,
But I’m afraid it’s not suitable for filming in China.”
"Why?" Li Mubai was a little confused, but seeing that Zhang Xiaomou was so cautious, he probably wasn't perfunctory with him.
"Master Li, as long as I finish speaking, I will never admit it at any time." Zhang Xiaomou knows his position very well and understands the rules of this industry better. Although Li Mubai has a background that people look up to,
But this does not mean that he can cover the sky with one hand. Whether it is for his own future or to make Li Mubai owe him a favor, he feels that it is necessary to make the reason clear.
Although he didn't talk much, Zhang Xiaomou told all the important reasons.
It seems that I still took things too simply.
After listening to Zhang Xiaomou, Li Mubai took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Zhang Xiaomou.
"I remember this favor." After pondering for a long time, Li Mubai slowly said something.
He asked Liu Ruyan to see Zhang Xiaomou off, but before she returned to the room, Li Mubai received a call from Ding Yigen.
"The old man of the Lu family has handed in the early discharge report!"
Before Li Mubai could speak, Ding Yigen said hurriedly: "Don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you kid."
Does it have anything to do with me?
Li Mubai thought about it and found that it seemed to have a little to do with him, but he still hid the matter. In any case, family scandals should not be made public. Although some things need the help of brothers, some words are not suitable to be said.
.
Hearing that there was no sound in the microphone for a long time, Ding Gengen said slowly: "Brother, whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, it will not have a good impact on you. I have a suggestion for you. I hope
You can think about it seriously."
"Say." Li Mubai believed his brother.
"Use your strengths and avoid weaknesses." Ding Gengen said in a deep voice: "No matter whether you will still be involved in the official career in the future, the current situation is not suitable for you to stay in the capital. If you nod. The old man once said that the door of the army will always be
It's open to you, you can choose to go to the army first to avoid the limelight."
"Call Hongyu and come to my place. I also have some ideas. You two brothers can help me weigh them up. By the way, I'm at the Yandong Hotel." Zai Dinggen finished speaking.
After that, an idea came to Li Mubai's mind.
"Master Li, I'll go back first." Although Liu Ruyan didn't know what Li Mubai wanted to discuss with Ding Yiyi, after all, the relationship with Li Mubai was not clear now, and she didn't think it was clear.
Now Li Mubai regards himself as a person he can trust.
"Okay." Li Mubai nodded. Although what happened next might have something to do with Liu Ruyan, before it was confirmed, Li Mubai didn't want this woman to hear his inner plan.
Not long after, Ding Yiyi and Jiang Hongyu appeared in the room together.
Li Mubai didn't have so many polite words with the two brothers, and said straight to the point: "Hongyu, is Han Xue still in the capital?"
"Ah?" Jiang Hongyu didn't expect Li Mubai to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded. Although he didn't understand what today's incident had to do with Han Xue, he knew very well that this guy still did things very appropriately.
of.
On the way here, he also heard some news. Even though his base camp is in Guangdong, he also has his own sources of news in the capital. He also heard about Li Mubai, who was in the car with Ding Yiyi
At that time, the two people also discussed it.
Even if Li Mubai is unwilling to return to the army, Guangdong is still a place he can choose. After all, it is his father's world, and his father also fully recognizes Li Mubai's abilities.
"Ask Han Xue for me if we have a company called Yindu over there in Xiangjiang." Li Mubai turned that idea into a plan before the two of them arrived. But Zhang Xiaomou
It still needs to be proven whether the news is reliable.
Jiang Hongyu was not one to procrastinate, so he picked up the phone and called Han Xue. In less than five minutes, Han Xue called back. However, Han Xue still very cautiously asked why Jiang Hongyu wanted to inquire about this banker.
After hearing that it was Li Mubai who wanted to ask, Jiang Hongyu handed the phone to Li Mubai.
The two chatted on the phone for more than ten minutes. Li Mubai had a certain understanding of the banker, and after confirming the news about Zhang Xiaomou, Li Mubai made a decision.
"Brother, I plan to go to Xiangjiang for a while." After putting down the phone, Li Mubai said in a very firm tone: "I don't know what identity is more appropriate. Give me some suggestions."
"Are you out of your mind?" Before Jiang Hongyu could speak, Ding Yiyinzhi said first: "Don't you know what the situation is over there now?"
"Of course I know."
Although Li Mubai didn't know much about Xiangjiang, as a Chinese and an official, he knew very well what kind of political significance Xiangjiang had. However, he had his own plans, and after Zhang Xiaomou finished reading that
After reading the script, he had determined a lot of things he didn't understand. Although it was still a little vague and uncertain. But Li Mubai was a little tired of the Chinese officialdom and was tired. He wanted to take a break and change the environment.
