Lin Mai had just returned from shopping with Tao Zhiyun and others. He just wanted to take a hot bath and then have a good sleep.
Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Mai had to muster the energy to open the door.
Standing outside the door were Shen Xiaoping and a very stylish middle-aged woman with a strong Hong Kong flavor.
Shen Xiaoping introduced Lin Mai: "Mr. Lin, this is Ms. Yu Lihua, the TV series producer of TVB. She has something she wants to talk to you about."
Lin Mai looked at Ms. Yu Lihua.
Wearing a perfect business attire, she wears huge pearl earrings and a pearl necklace on her ears and neck.
Look at yourself again, wearing pajamas, you can't entertain Ms. Yu Lihua like this.
She welcomed Ms. Yu Lihua in and smiled apologetically at her: "Let me change into new clothes and then talk to you."
After that, I took the skirt and wanted to go into the bathroom.
Yu Lihua waved her hand and smiled gently: "No, I don't mind this."
Lin Mai then threw the skirt on the bed.
Tao Zhiyun poured Yu Lihua a cup of coffee and silently exited the room.
Lin Mai sat down opposite Yu Lihua and asked with a smile: "I wonder what business Ms. Yu has with me?"
Yu Lihua took a sip of coffee, then put it down and said with a smile: "It's like this, our TVB is going to make a TV series called "The Ups and Downs of the Furious Sea".
This is a luxury blockbuster, and a lot of jewelry is needed in it.
I saw that the jewelry your models wore at the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival was very exquisite and beautiful.
Although it is not real jewelry or expensive jewelry, it is very suitable for use in that TV series.
I would like to ask you to provide your lily jewelry to our crew, what do you think?"
After saying that, she saw that Lin Mai remained silent, seeming to be thinking about the benefits of doing so.
Yu Lihua then spoke again: "You won't suffer any loss if you sponsor our Lily jewelry.
When our actors wear your lily jewelry in the play, it is equivalent to giving you free advertising.
And at the end of the film, we will print the words: All accessories in this film are provided by Lily Jewelry."
Seeing that Lin Mai was still deep in thought, she had no choice but to continue: "Do you watch Hong Kong TV series?"
Lin Mai smiled and said: "Of course I want to watch it, but I just don't have time."
"Then have you noticed that at the end of every Hong Kong fashion TV series there is a line: All the costumes in this series are provided by Guanmei Tailor.
Guanmei Taifu has always provided us with free clothing.
Our partnership is a win-win situation.
The crew saves on clothing costs, and Guanmei Western Clothing can advertise for free.
Your Lily jewelry also has this kind of cooperative relationship with us, don't you think about it?"
Lin Mai actually agreed in his heart when Yu Lihua made the request.
She deliberately pretended to be hesitant, but she just didn't want to agree too quickly.
Only by adding some difficulty to Yu Lihua will she not underestimate Lily jewelry.
Now that the heat was almost done, Lin Mai nodded in agreement.
Yu Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, and then wanted to get up and say goodbye.
Lin Mai asked her to sit for a while and said she still had requests.
Yu Lihua looked her up and down curiously, thinking, what else does this Bei Gu want to ask for?
If the request is excessive, cancel cooperation with her.
Lin Mai's request was that the costumes for the first to third female characters in the play should be covered by her splendid costumes.
She has long wanted to incorporate her beautiful costumes into TVB Hong Kong dramas.
Only in this way will it be possible for your beautiful clothing to enter the Hong Kong market.
Although she negotiated several big orders this time, none of them were from Hong Kong. She really wanted to open up sales in Hong Kong.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if it cannot open up a market in Hong Kong.
It is also very cost-effective to let your beautiful clothing be known to more consumers in East Asian countries through TVB.
You know, Hong Kong's influence in East Asia in this era is very large.
Hong Kong movies and TV series are also very popular in East Asia.
Yu Lihua was stunned. She didn't expect that Lin Mai made this request.
She has seen all the clothes exhibited by Jinxiu Clothing at the Hong Kong International Fashion Festival, and the styles are much better than those of Guanmei Western Clothing.
If the crew uses the costumes provided by Jinxiu Clothing, it will not only be more fashionable, but also make the TV series "Up and Down" even more classy.
Because the clothes of Jinxiu Clothing are more like the clothes worn by wealthy ladies than the beautiful western clothes.
Although Yu Lihua really wanted to agree to Lin Mai, Guanmei Foreign Service has been cooperating with TVB for many years.
The CEO of Guanmei Yangfu was furious when Guanmei Yangfu was suddenly replaced, and he would definitely not cooperate with them again in the future.
Yu Lihua smiled and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go back and report to the superiors to see what the superiors say."
Lin Mai nodded and sent Yu Lihua away.
Early the next morning, Tao Zhiyun and others returned to Beijing as planned.
But there was a girl named Pei Suyun who didn't want to leave.
She said that she met a boyfriend in Hong Kong, and her boyfriend asked her to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days before going back.
Lin Mai asked her how long she had known her Hong Kong boyfriend.
Pei Suyun shyly told her that she met him on the first day he came to Hong Kong.
Lin Mai was speechless after hearing this and asked, "Aren't you afraid of meeting a liar?"
Pei Suyun shook her head very firmly: "It can't be a liar. He has been very kind to me."
Good words won't bring back the damn ghost.
Lin Mai didn't want to waste any time talking to her, so together with Tao Zhiyun and Shen Xiaoping, they forcibly sent her onto the ship.
Lin Mai told Pei Suyun that she asked Shen Xiaoping to bring her out, so Shen Xiaoping would take her back.
Once it is handed over to her family, she will have nothing to do with it if she goes to Hong Kong to find her so-called boyfriend.
But Lin Mai still reminded Pei Suyun repeatedly that the boyfriend she talked about was most likely a liar.
After sending Tao Zhiyun and others away, Lin Mai stayed alone in Hong Kong, waiting for Yu Lihua's reply.
I didn't wait for Yu Lihua's reply, but I waited for a call from the real estate agent.
She said that someone wanted to rent her mansion, but the price was slightly lower than the price she offered.
Lin Mai was completely able to accept such a low price, so he nodded in agreement.
It wasn't until two or three o'clock in the afternoon that Yu Lihua came to see Lin Mai again.
She said that the higher-ups asked her to ask Lin Mai if her beautiful clothes could provide fashion for all TVB crews in the long term.
If possible, TVB will cooperate with Jinxiu Clothing from now on.
Lin Mai nodded: "Okay."
She can at least guarantee that she can provide costumes for all TVB fashion dramas from the 1980s until the turn of the millennium.
But after the millennium, she can no longer guarantee it.
Because after the millennium, Han-style clothing declined and was almost eliminated from the market.
Lin Mai could not guarantee that his splendid costumes could survive the catastrophe that the millennium had for Han-style costumes.
After reaching an agreement with Yu Lihua, Lin Mai returned to the capital.
It was already May 10th, and Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang returned to the capital with Doudou two days ago.
Tao Zhiyun did not come to her house as promised.
Have you changed your mind and don’t want to study abroad?
Lin Mai called to ask why.
Tao Zhiyun said that she found an Italian female international student at a university in Jiangcheng where cherry blossoms bloom in spring.
She asked the Italian female student to teach her Italian and stopped coming to the capital.
Lin Mai had forgotten that the famous W University in Jiangcheng could also invite foreign students to study foreign languages.
The day after Lin Mai returned to the capital, he received big news.
The day after Fang Zhuoyue installed cameras in the lobbies of major Baohaochi chain stores, someone ate out the sanitary belt while eating hot pot at a Baohaochi chain store, causing the surrounding diners to vomit in disgust on the spot.
The diner at the table who ate out the sanitary belt refused to let go and asked the store manager to compensate.
The store manager didn't even send them to the hospital, but called the police directly.
None of the guests at that table were afraid. They ate sanitary napkins out of the hot pot. Many diners in the lobby witnessed it with their own eyes.
So when the police came to investigate, the guests at that table insisted that they had eaten the sanitary napkin from the hot pot.
Many diners at the time testified for them, saying that they had seen it all with their own eyes.
But when the store manager took two police officers, the table of guests, and the diners' representatives selected by drawing lots, they went to the store's control room.
After the surveillance video was played back, the guests at that table looked ashen and tried to escape, but the police blocked the door.
And those diners representatives also knew that they were all being taken advantage of.
In fact, none of them saw with their own eyes that the guests at that table took out sanitary napkins from the hot pot.
I just heard the guests at that table yelling that they ate sanitary napkins from the hot pot.
When the diners looked towards them, they saw a customer at that table holding a sanitary belt with chopsticks.
My first impression was that the guests at that table had actually eaten the sanitary napkin out of the hot pot.
After watching the complete surveillance video, I found out that the disgusting sanitary belt was put in by the people at the table themselves, and then started yelling that they had eaten the sanitary belt from the hot pot.
When the truth came out, all the guests at that table were taken away by the police.
This time, the guests at this table were not as lucky as the family who ate mice from the hot pot last time.
Because the evidence was conclusive, the court sentenced them to heavy sentences for extortion.
The reason why they were given a heavy sentence was because the way they committed the crime was really bad.
If it succeeds, it will be a big blow to businesses.
This indirectly dampens the enthusiasm of self-employed individuals to do business, which is very detrimental to reform and opening up.
All the guests at that table panicked and rushed to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.
It turned out that two local long-established bun shops were responsible.
Lin Mai suddenly realized why these two Laozi steamed bun restaurants were still standing in the capital.
But you can't find any of their branches outside the capital, which means their buns are not that good and they can't be sold in other provinces.
I also understand why other steamed bun shops in the previous life could not open for long in the capital, because these two time-honored steamed bun shops were secretly suppressing them and forcing them to withdraw.
Fortunately, Fang Zhuoyue installed a camera, otherwise her bag would not be able to be washed away if it jumped into the Yellow River.
He is probably going to follow in the footsteps of his colleagues from other provinces who came to the capital to open a steamed bun chain store in his previous life.
I have been delayed from going to class for several days.
In the afternoon when he returned to the capital, Lin Mai went to school with his schoolbag on his back.
As soon as I arrived at school, I was called to the office by the counselor.
The counselor asked her to arrange her time in the future and not to ask for leave all the time, even for such a long time.
No matter how good her academic talent is, it will still have an impact on her studies.
Lin Mai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Coming out of the office, Lin Mai saw Xu Qingya.
I haven’t seen him for almost two months, and Xu Qingya is a bit fatter than before.
Lin Mai had no intention of talking to her, glanced at her without warmth, and went to class in the big classroom.
