Chapter 14: A big director? Who the heck is that!

~6 min read 1,097 words

This meal took about an hour to eat.

And Lin Mo also came to understand Yang Mi a little.

The present Yang Mi.

Put simply.

Her own identity is also that of an actor, a star.

Compared to the stronger Yang Laoban of later times, they are completely different.

That's also normal.

After all, age and experience are laid out here.

After finishing the meal and coming out,

The meal ended, the three stood at the restaurant entrance, and Yang Mi smiled as she waved at Lin Mo and Re Ba: "All right, I won't be a third wheel anymore—you two enjoy yourselves, bye-bye!"

"Bye, Mi Jie!" Re Ba and Yang Mi said while hugging briefly.

Lin Mo responded with a gentle smile and a slight nod.

Just now.

At the table, Yang Mi and Lin Mo exchanged WeChat contacts.

Watching Yang Mi's figure disappear into the night, Re Ba turned to Lin Mo, eyes flashing with curiosity: "Mo Ge, what do you think of Mi Jie?"

Hearing that,

Lin Mo froze for a moment.

Then, after a moment's thought, he said: "Hmm, pretty good. I can tell she takes good care of you, just like an older sister."

After hearing that, Re Ba's gaze softened a few degrees as she looked toward Yang Mi's departing direction, and she whispered: "Yeah, Mi Jie really works hard; every time I see her striving like that, I feel I need to push myself too."

Yang Mi indeed works hard.

In her previous life, Jiaxing Media, when it was first founded, had a betting agreement with a certain company.

Afterward, Yang Mi went on to film eleven movies in a single year, earning her the nickname "Desperate Third Sister."

It's only 9:30 p. m. now.

The time is still early.

The two took a walk.

Afterward, Lin Mo sent her home, and then he returned to his own rented apartment.

He didn't live in the school dormitory, which could sometimes be troublesome.

During this upcoming period,

"Lost Love 33 Days" is getting hotter and hotter.

Half a month after its release, the film's box office had already accumulated 180 million.

The actors who played Wang Xiaoqian and Huang Xiao xian also got a bit of fame from the film.

Various appearances and invitations kept coming nonstop.

As for Teng Hua Tao, Teng Dao,

Recently, his interview videos often pop up.

After all,

Teng Dao is also a topic.

A director who once made a hit TV drama later became a quack director.

Now, relying on "Lost Love 33 Days," he has completely risen to prominence.

This morning, a piece of news topped the Weibo hot search.

#The behind-the-scenes investor of "Lost Love 33 Days" is actually a college student#

The heat is still not low.

The reason is that Teng Hua Tao revealed this when he was interviewed.

However, he only said that the film's biggest investor is still a student; as for other information, he didn't elaborate.

Besides, after that interview video was exposed,

It instantly sparked heated discussion among netizens.

"Ah?"

"The investor of Lost Love 33 Days is actually a college student?"

"Holy crap, do college students nowadays have this kind of boldness?"

"They must be a rich second-generation heir—no ordinary student could come up with several million!"

"Damn, 4 million turned into hundreds of millions in just a few months... faster than robbery!"

"Envy, jealousy, hatred!!!"

"I really want to know: did those companies that previously refused to invest in Teng Hua Tao regret it?"

"They definitely regret it!"

"......"

Those companies that had previously invested in Teng Hua Tao's films— their guts practically turned green with regret.

Isn't that right?

An investment of several million yuan, and the box office is several hundred million!

Damn, it's faster than stealing money!

It's really infuriating!

Here.

Lin Mo is taking a phone call.

The call is from Teacher Wang.

He learned from Teng Hua Tao that "Thirty‑Three Days of Breakup" was actually invested in by his own student Lin Mo.

Good fellow!

When he first heard the news, he was stunned!

"Xiao Lin, such a big matter—why didn't you tell me before, you..."

On the other end, Teacher Wang's voice sounded a bit resentful.

Hearing that,

Lin Mo thought.

Teacher, how could I dare tell you? If I said it, you'd strongly stop me...

Although he knows Teacher Wang and Teng Dao have a good relationship.

But...

After Teng Dao left, Teacher Wang told him that Teng Hua Tao probably wouldn't find investors this time, and from the words Lin Mo could tell that Teacher Wang also didn't have confidence in Teng Hua Tao.

So Lin Mo didn't tell him about it.

"Teacher, I just thought Teng Dao's script was good, so I invested a hundred million or so, didn't expect the film to become a hit. My eye isn't bad, right? ~"

Lin Mo laughed and said.

On the other end, Teacher Wang was amused by Lin Mo's words, his tone becoming much more relaxed: "Only a little? You kid are so low‑key it makes me want to punch you, but getting things done is a good thing. Teng Hua Tao that old fellow is coming to Mo Du tomorrow; remember to come over for dinner tonight!"

"Got it, Teacher, I've been craving the teacher's wife's cooking for a long time."

Lin Mo readily agreed.

The next day.

Teng Dao arrived in Mo Du.

The first thing,

was to call Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was video chatting with Re Ba when Teng Dao's call came in.

"Re Ba, Teng Dao called me; let's talk later!"

"Okay!"

Re Ba nodded repeatedly, then ended the video call, fearing she might disturb Lin Mo's important matter.

Immediately after,

He answered, and Teng Hua Tao's hearty laugh instantly filled his ears: "Boss Lin, are you free at noon? I'll treat you to a good meal and also introduce you to a top talent in the circle—a great director!"

Lin Mo heard that, smiled, and said: "Teng Dao, you've really gone all out with the face‑saving. No problem, I'll be there on time!"

Teng Hua Tao laughed even more on the phone: "It's settled then! Tonight we'll swing by Lao Wang's place. That kid has been nagging me lately, saying I kept you spinning in circles. Tonight, we'll let him see with his own eyes—our friendship is more genuine than gold!"

"Haha!"

After that, the two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Teng Hua Tao introducing a great director for himself?

Who is it?

Lin Mo couldn't help but feel curious.
