The bells of the New Year bring not only joy, but also an even more bleak winter.
Jiangcheng snows all year round and there is no heating. Along the Lingjiang River, winter is extremely wet and cold.
In early January, on a quiet night, a heavy snow suddenly came and enveloped the entire city.
The soft snow absorbs the sound, making the whole city quiet and completely silent. It is perfect for warming yourself by the fire in the house, reading a book or playing a movie, watching the falling snow outside the window, and falling asleep peacefully.
In the early morning, Lu Tan opened the window and saw the silver-covered world outside. He took a breath of New Year's air.
"It's so cold."
He closed the windows and turned up the air conditioner's heat by one degree.
Picking up a book explaining the relationship between psychology and dreams, Lu Jian was planning to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge and spend his free time for the past few days, but his cell phone soon rang.
I took a look at the caller ID and saw that it was Li Zijian, Song Yunyan's secretary.
"Isn't it a day off today?"
Lu Tian answered the phone and asked a question at the beginning.
"...You are really good at talking."
Li Zijian answered and continued talking about business.
"It's like this. Aren't you working on this worldview plan? Mr. Song said that he introduced some investors who are interested in this plan and wants to talk to you."
"Investor?"
Lu Tan thought for a while.
"Are you looking for me to have a meal?"
He used easy-to-understand terms.
"...You can understand it that way."
Li Zijian was a little speechless.
"But I'm not short of money..."
Lu Tan said immediately.
Counting the share of the previous online broadcast of "One Hundred People" and the income during the film festival, Lu Jian is now worth at least tens of millions. And "Crying" was released nationwide, with a single-day box office exceeding 100 million, and his share has not yet been settled.
But it's inevitable. Just this time, Lu Tian can actually buy a few houses and earn interest and rent for the rest of his life.
So he is indeed not short of money.
The average entrepreneurial team will fall into a situation of insufficient funds. After all, they are short of money for early investment and publicity and development. At this time, many teams will introduce financing, and many investors are actually not short of money and do not mind investing.
Take a gamble.
This situation sometimes leads to the subsequent entrepreneurial team being taken over by capital and picking the fruit. It may also lead to disagreements due to internal reasons and eventually fall apart.
But Lu Tan was different. He made money from the beginning, and he didn’t have any entrepreneurial team. He was just on his own. He could do whatever he wanted and fish if he didn’t want to. It was very satisfying.
Therefore, Lu Tan does not need to introduce investment, he can even invest in others.
"Well...actually, it's like this. Ms. Song has developed in Jiangcheng over the years and has received help from many people. When they saw that you were developing well, they wanted to come and make contact. Mr. Song couldn't refuse.
,So...why don't you give me some face?"
Li Zijian explained.
To put it simply, some of Song Yunyan's business friends, after learning that the first investor behind Lu Tian was Jiangcheng Industrial, wanted to come over and get a piece of the pie, but Song Yunyan certainly couldn't refuse directly, which would hurt the harmony, so she just
It allows Lu Tuan to cope with it.
"That's okay too."
Lu Tan is not an unreasonable person. Song Yunyan has helped him so much, so he will definitely not embarrass her.
"One more thing, you are now considered a well-known figure. You should be careful about your words and deeds. If you have a girlfriend, it doesn't matter if you are in a relationship, but don't attack your fans, and don't mess with those who have a messy private life.
Live, and don’t take drugs..."
Li Zijian persuaded him earnestly.
"?"
Lu Tan found it incredible. How could such a positive person like him do such a thing?
"Brother Li, don't misunderstand me, I'm not that kind of person."
"Hey, I know, but that girl who often runs to your house seems to be a little anchor? Also, did you go to the movies with other girls on New Year's Eve and didn't come home until very late?"
Li Zijian asked.
"...These paparazzi are so disgusting."
Lu Tan felt speechless.
He and Qin Tiantian are just friends. Lu Tan has no interest in junior high school students. As for Feng Yu, Lu Tan can't hide now, let alone further matters.
Lu Jian's biggest wish now is world peace. As for the other things, he should put them aside.
It's just that these guys who peek into other people's privacy are disgusting and troublesome.
Lu Tan came to the window sill and looked at the snowy scene outside. Using [Real Vision], he quickly discovered that in the building opposite, there were several windows with cameras filming him. They were probably reporters from different media.
.
I don’t know when these reporters came here. Thinking of what happened with Qin Tiantian and Feng Yu, it is estimated that reporters have been coming here one after another since "One Hundred People".
"Okay, Brother Li, you can arrange the meeting with those people when the time comes. I'm fine anyway. There's no problem in chatting with them."
Lu Tan agreed to meet with the investors, put down his phone, and looked across the street again.
His eyes searched for the window, and soon he saw a paparazzi taking pictures.
Through the lens, Lu Jian looked into the other person's eyes.
"We have to find a way to deal with these guys."
Lu Tian thought and decisively closed half of the curtains.
...
"...Is it an illusion?"
In the community building opposite Lu Tiao, entertainment reporter Sun Cheng rubbed his eyes.
He clearly saw Lu Jian looking at him just now, but at such a long distance, the lens had to be telephoto. How could Lu Jian, an ordinary person, see him?
"It's been so many days, and I feel like I haven't taken any photos. Why does Lu Jian stay at home like this?"
Sun Cheng couldn't help but think a little.
He rented a house here just because he wanted to take some tidbits about Lu Tian's daily life. For example, a girl named Qin Tiantian had been photographed by a colleague eating two people out. Sun Cheng felt that there must be something going on between her and Lu Tian.
Because of the relationship, I have been squatting for a while, but I can't find any clues at all.
Lu Tan is like an ordinary citizen. He gets up at eight o'clock in the morning, and then either reads and studies, or uses the computer. He eats takeout at noon or goes downstairs to eat some Shaxian Chicken Leg Rice worth more than ten yuan. After lunch break, he reads and studies again in the afternoon.
It felt like he had been wandering in the ocean of knowledge all day long, which made Sun Cheng feel a little ashamed.
"No, he doesn't go out to socialize with people to get information, right?"
Many people in the entertainment industry that Sun Cheng knew either went out to socialize, party, and have business events every day, or they were away from home all year round and flew around the world to collect materials. But Lu Tan felt like he just sat at home every day and did nothing. What is his movie?
