After returning from the barbecue, Lin Mai used the school's public phone to call Fang Zhuoran and told her that she wanted to star in the female lead in the new film by the tour guide.
Fang Zhuoran wanted to explode, but he had to maintain his mature and steady persona in front of Lin Mai.
Lin Mai once said that she liked his mature and steady look.
He is like an old father and a big brother, giving her a strong sense of security.
That's why she didn't dislike him as an old cucumber and married him without hesitation.
Fang Zhuoran never thinks that he is an old cucumber applying green paint. He is born with beauty and it is hard to give up, okay?
Fang Zhuoran resisted the eruption of emotions and asked warmly: "Didn't you say you didn't want to play the role? Why did you change your mind again?"
Lin Mai coyly told him that as long as she invested in the movie, the tour guide would give her 55% of the dividend, provided that she had to play the leading female role.
She said she couldn't resist such a big temptation and was shaken.
What else could Fang Zhuoran do?
Is it because he thinks the washboard at home is too idle to prevent Lin Mai from making money? Doesn't it shine? Does he need to prove its value?
He nodded with difficulty, but made a request that no kissing scenes were allowed, not even one, and even borrowing seats was not allowed.
Lin Mai could feel Fang Zhuoran's intense jealousy through the phone line.
She giggled and promised not to do any kissing scenes.
In fact, Fang Zhuoran doesn't need to say this, Lin Mai doesn't know how to shoot kissing scenes.
She is unable to accept kissing a man other than her husband.
She has not yet had the consciousness to devote herself to art.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang have Fang Zhuoran doing ideological work.
He said that Lin Mai changed his mind and wanted to film, just for fun, and would not film again in the future.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang finally nodded in agreement.
The next day, Lin Mai replied to the tour guide and said that she was willing to play the female lead.
But there are no kissing scenes, let alone sex scenes. The hero and heroine can only hold hands and hug each other at most.
The tour guide was very happy and signed a contract with Lin Mai on the same day.
In order to accommodate Lin Mai's schedule, the tour guide scheduled the filming time for this summer vacation.
Baodao's work efficiency is very high. A literary film like this, which does not require shooting, can be completed in less than a month.
So there is enough time for filming in the summer.
Around January 10th, Hong Kong stocks rose to an unprecedented level.
Chen Feng called Lin Mai to tell him the news and asked if he wanted to sell.
Lin Mai doesn’t know whether Hong Kong stocks will gain momentum in the future, but they have already increased more than 30 times.
Her five hundred thousand has turned into fifteen million, and she is already satisfied.
Lin Mai had never been a greedy person, especially when it came to gambling on luck. She would give up when things were good, so she asked Chen Feng to sell.
She sold on the front foot, and the stocks she bought rose a little on the back foot.
Chen Feng regretted it endlessly, but Lin Mai didn't care.
Being able to earn 150,000 yuan is already a huge benefit that God has given her after her rebirth.
The time soon came to January 16th. After finishing the last exam, we will officially have a holiday tomorrow.
However, many students are eager to return home and cannot wait for the official day of vacation.
On the day I finished the last exam, I packed my things and prepared to go back to my hometown.
Lin Mai's dormitory was also in the same situation, except for Tian Fen.
Although she was also packing her things, she was doing so for her roommate, and her own things were not moved at all.
Lin Mai kept her promise on behalf of Fang Zhuoran and took her roommate to her Baohaochi chain store to eat hot pot. Seeing this, she asked Tian Fen: "Are you planning to leave tomorrow? Then I will take you to the train tomorrow."
Transportation in the 1980s was incomparable to that of the following decades. It was difficult to take trains during winter, summer, and Spring Festival travel periods.
You can't get on the train just by buying a ticket. You have to fight hard to get on the train.
Tian Fen was very small and had to squeeze into the train by herself. Lin Mai was worried that she wouldn't be able to squeeze in, so he wanted to send her on the train.
Although Lin Mai is thin, he is very strong.
Tian Fen smiled shyly: "I don't plan to go back. My family lives in Gansu, and the round-trip fare is quite high. It's better to stay at school and the cost is cheaper."
Lin Mai was silent for a moment and said: "You will be idle all winter vacation. Why don't you go work in my bun shop or market to earn some money? Are you willing?"
Tian Fen nodded happily: "Yes, of course I am willing, I am willing to do anything."
Lin Mai nodded: "I'll make arrangements for your work-study program after you've had hot pot."
A large group of people set off to follow Lin Mai to eat hot pot.
Along the way, the girls were chattering and discussing what expensive food they would order when the package arrived later.
But when it comes to the Baohaochi chain store, everyone only picks up the cheap ones and doesn’t order them if they’re delicious enough.
We are all adults and should do things appropriately.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "I'm just going to treat you this one time. If you miss this village, there won't be that shop.
Don't be polite, just order whatever you want."
The roommates all laughed.
Miaomiao ate the free fried peanuts given by the waiter: "You are so rich, no one can be polite to you!"
"That's right, that's right!" The other roommates said one after another, "We are here to eat from the rich family today."
Everyone said this, but no one ordered it again.
Lin Mai had no choice but to personally order a lot of beef, mutton, tripe, seafood, etc. for them to enjoy.
After eating, Lin Mai and Tian Fen sent Miaomiao and others away together.
The train station was crowded with people, which made Lin Mai and others worried. They couldn't even squeeze through the train door, let alone get on the train.
Fortunately, several boys from the same department saw it, and together with Lin Maitianfen, they pushed their roommates in through the train window.
When the roommates went out, they were all dressed up beautifully. When they were put into the train, their hair was disheveled, which made people laugh.
After seeing off their roommates, Lin Mai and Tian Fen went back to school together and counted how many classmates in Lin Mai's electronic information engineering department couldn't go home because they had no money.
Anyway, Tian Fen will be arranged to work-study in her store.
Arranging one is also an arrangement. It is better to arrange for all the poor students left behind in the department, which can be regarded as a small help to her classmates.
In this era, there are not many students applying for electronic information engineering. There are only six undergraduate classes, with a total of less than 200 students.
However, there are more than 20 students left behind, which is quite an astonishing number.
It can only be said that there are many poor students in this era who don't even have the money to travel home.
If it weren't for the living allowance provided by the state, these poor students might not even have the chance to go to college.
All I can say is that the country’s policies are really good, giving those poor students who are willing to work hard a chance to change their own destiny.
The saying that a noble son comes from a poor family will not become a legend.
There are five Baohaochi chain stores in Linmai, and each store can accommodate four to five people.
Lin Mai summoned all the classmates who were left behind.
Tell them about your plan to have them work-study in your store, and ask them to sign up with her if they are willing to do it.
None of the students left behind were unwilling, and all signed up enthusiastically.
Lin Mai registered them and assigned them to designated stores.
A boy asked worriedly: "We're going like this, what if the manager doesn't know us and doesn't let us work in the store?"
Other students burst into laughter: "How can a manager be bigger than our Mr. Lin?"
If the manager dares not to let us work, we’ll call Mr. Lin and we’ll beat him up together!”
Lin Mai smiled and said to the worried boy: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to those managers.
When you go, just bring your student ID to the manager to confirm your identity."
The boy was relieved now.
There were also poor students left behind in other departments. I heard that Lin Mai had arranged for classmates from her department to work in her store during the winter vacation, so they also came to Lin Mai and wanted to work for her.
There were only so many jobs and we couldn't ask for more people. Lin Mai smiled and declined them.
Although she is willing to help others, she only does what she can.
