Chu Yuan and others' eyes lit up. The Smith in front of them was completely different from yesterday. He didn't look like the same person at all.
"Mr. Chu, my current image is not bad."
Smith smiled confidently. After all, he was a wealthy businessman who had a lot of wealth. Although he was down and out, his temperament was still there.
"No problem."
Chu Lingyun smiled. Smith really gave him a surprise. This look was much better than Chu Lingyun had expected.
"Then can you hire me?"
Smith asked anxiously, Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's you."
"The remuneration must be calculated as previously agreed, and it must be one thousand US dollars."
Smith was a little nervous. What Chu Lingyun didn't know was that in order to change his image, he spent his last penny.
If Chu Lingyun rejects him, he will go hungry today.
"Okay, one thousand dollars, but you have to do what I say and you can't make any changes. If you can't do it, you won't get a penny."
Chu Lingyun agreed again, and Smith finally smiled: "Of course, but you can never make porn films. I can't accept that."
Color film?
Chu Lingyun couldn't laugh or cry. Smith, like the previous professors, thought that he wanted to make a movie and came to foreigners like them to be actors.
"Don't worry, absolutely not."
Smith was completely relieved. Chu Lingyun asked Chu Yuan and others to wait outside, while he took Smith into the room and told him in detail what needed to be done.
Chu Lingyun's plan is not complicated. Her parents' biggest wish has always been to open a free or very low-fee school to cultivate outstanding children from poor families.
But their income is far from enough, so they can only teach and educate people while doing their best to help the people in front of them.
They have no money, but Chu Lingyun does. Now Chu Lingyun has more than 100,000 US dollars on hand, which is a lot of wealth.
After Loach raided Zhu Shaojun's house last time, he only sent thirty gold bars to celebrate the New Year, but Virgo didn't send any.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to give it away, he’s not qualified to have a direct relationship with Virgo right now.
A little money is enough to help parents fulfill their wishes and allow them to leave Ningcheng, killing two birds with one stone.
"It turns out that this is how I act. Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I will never make any mistakes."
When Chu Lingyun told Smith, he understood what was going on. Although his business failed, he had succeeded after all, and he was not a fool.
"You can't do it here, I'm going to rent a better place for you."
The bungalow that Smith lives in now looks like it belongs to a small family. Chu Lingyun wants him to be a big boss. How can a big boss live in such a place?
In Chu Lingyun's script, the boss played by Smith is a kind-hearted international friend who wants to fund the construction of a middle school in China with extremely low tuition and scholarships for outstanding students in the school.
Chu Lingyun saved Smith's life by chance. After Smith learned that Chu Lingyun's parents were middle school teachers, he decided to hand over the management of the school to them.
The reason is very simple. With such an outstanding son, his parents must be good. Chu Lingyun did not accept his money to express his gratitude. This was a way to thank Chu Lingyun for saving his life.
However, Smith has a condition: the school can only be built in Chongqing and in a place designated by him.
After the beginning of the All-out Anti-Japanese War, although Chongqing was not conquered, it was bombed continuously for many years. The city was not absolutely safe.
Chu Lingyun sent her relatives to Chongqing to ensure their safety. The location of the school must not be arbitrary.
In his last life, he visited Chongqing, and more than once, he drove himself to a town around Chongqing with his friends, where he listened to some history narrated by local elders.
Because they were relatively remote from the urban area and did not have important military industrial sites, not a single artillery shell fell on their heads during the entire Anti-Japanese War.
Chu Lingyun still remembers the name of this town. It is much safer to build the school there than in the urban area.
In addition, the school cannot be too big.
A school that is too large can easily become an attack target. The newly built school in Chu Lingyun's plan will only enroll two hundred students. A school of this size will not attract the attention of the Japanese army.
This can also save money.
According to Chu Lingyun's estimate, US$20,000 is enough for the establishment of the school and future operating expenses.
Spending 20,000 US dollars in exchange for the safety of his family, Chu Lingyun would never blink an eye.
"Mr. Chu, why are you going to all this trouble?"
After listening to Chu Lingyun's description, Smith was very curious. Investing in building a school was a good thing, so why should he pay a high price to hire him and let him come forward?
"Don't ask if you shouldn't. Do you still want this job?" Chu Lingyun glared at him.
"Yes, of course."
Smith chuckled and suddenly said: "But you have to bear the cost of renting a better house, a car, etc. I'm just an actor you hired."
"Don't worry, you don't have to pay for this."
Smith is definitely a shrewd businessman, and it’s hard to understand how he managed to get his business to such an extent.
"I agreed and wish us a happy cooperation."
With a sly smile, Smith took the initiative to extend his right hand.
He doesn't have to pay for anything, he can get a high salary and a better house, so only a fool would refuse.
"Don't go out these days and practice well at home. I will assess you before letting you do things. If you can't pass, I still won't use you."
"This is no problem, don't worry, I will definitely pass the assessment, but"
At this point, Smith was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Chu, can you give me a hundred dollars in advance? For today's image, I have spent all the money and I don't even have lunch."
Chu Lingyun's eyes widened. Smith had reached the end of his rope?
In this case, he dared to ask for a thousand dollars in reward, which is simply a lunatic. If he didn't hire him, wouldn't he starve to death?
"Okay, I'll have someone send you money later. Remember, practice hard and make sure you don't make any mistakes."
Chu Lingyun agreed. Before his parents arrived, Smith could not destroy this image and must let him maintain it.
Without money, it is estimated that within a few days he will look like the ghost he was yesterday.
Smith has passed the test. Half of Chu Lingyun's plan is completed. The remaining half depends on how to fool his parents into agreeing to this matter.
No, this is not deception, but a white lie.
"Dad, this is Ling Yun. Are you free now? I have something I need to ask for your opinion on."
Back in the office, Chu Lingyun immediately hung up the phone at home. Chu Yuan had been arranged to deal with the house, asking him to find a beautiful villa as soon as possible and find a way to rent it for a month at a high price.
"Ling Yun, you have always had your own opinion. Why do you want to ask for my opinion?"
Chu Yuanchen said with a smile, and you could tell from his voice that he was in a good mood now.
