Chapter 286: I certainly hope she is well

"Sister, isn't your boyfriend a police officer? Can you ask him for help?"

"He is a criminal police officer, he is not responsible for civil cases." Shen Ci explained softly: "And he has been especially busy recently, I haven't seen him for several days."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing pursed his lips with disappointment. Shen Ci said: "It's okay, let's wait for the news from the police station first. If we can't wait, Sister will find a way."

The Li family, tonight Ji Yongxiu is Li Wanchang's "guest of honor".

At the dinner table, Li Wanchang specially opened a bottle of fine red wine for Ji Yongxiu.

"Come, Yongxiu, I'll toast you." Li Wanchang raised his wine glass with a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ji Yongxiu hurriedly raised his wine glass in fear: "Chairman, it should be me toasting you!"

Li Wanchang laughed: "It's the same. You did a very good job this time, with both speed and efficiency. I didn't misjudge you."

"Thanks to the Chairman's trust, I will definitely go all out and not let you down."

The two clinked glasses and drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Mrs. Li watched from the side and couldn't help but interject: "Letting that girl Shen Ci earn '7,000' yuan in this back and forth? Isn't it too cheap for her?"

This opening exposed her ignorance.

Li Wanchang glanced at her and hummed: "Although this piece of land was originally traded at a premium, its original value is not a cold number. All land is like this. The value of land is reflected in the project. If a good project can find a perfect piece of land, then this piece of land is priceless."

Ji Yongxiu smiled and looked at Mrs. Li, explaining patiently: "Madam doesn't know, the group's next project cannot do without this piece of land. Originally, the Chairman's limit for me was twenty thousand yuan. Being able to talk it down for '7,000' is actually a bargain for us."

Mrs. Li naturally didn't understand business matters, but she felt unhappy in her heart when she thought about Shen Ci earning so much money from their Li family.

But she also knew that she couldn't interfere in the group's affairs, and Li Wanchang wouldn't listen to her nagging even more.

"It is indeed surprising that Shen Ci could buy this piece of land, but you can buy back the land from her at such a low price this time, which shows that she only has courage but no knowledge, and is still too young." Li Wanchang said leisurely.

Ji Yongxiu thought of the scene of talking to Shen Ci, and the corners of his mouth curled down subconsciously: "The Chairman is right. She is just a little girl who hasn't graduated yet, indeed lacking some commercial negotiation cognition and experience."

"But it doesn't exclude that she has an expert pointing her behind her back." Li Wanchang looked at Ji Yongxiu and urged: "You should prepare the contract and sign it with her as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and many dreams later."

"Chairman, don't worry, it's a matter of these two days."

Li Wanchang raised his glass again and showed a smile: "As long as we successfully take down this piece of land, I will hand over the next project to you entirely. After you finish this project well, I will have chips to recommend you to enter the board of directors."

Hearing Li Wanchang draw such a big pie, Ji Yongxiu's eyes lit up.

He raised his wine glass excitedly, his lips trembling: "Thank you, Chairman, for your promotion. Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely complete all the tasks you entrust to me. If there is an opportunity to enter the board of directors in the future, Yongxiu is willing to follow the Chairman for a lifetime and serve you!"

Ji Yongxiu said these words of loyalty sincerely, but how much Li Wanchang believed him was unknown.

This morning, Shen Li re-shot the "washing clothes by the river" scene again.

"Cut!"

Director Xiang Tian's voice fell, and he poked his head out from behind the lens, smiling and giving Shen Li a thumbs up: "Ah Li is especially great, let's do it again, this time with two more camera angles!"

Shen Li smiled and nodded upon receiving Director Xiang Tian's affirmation.

Once again, Shen Li still performed very naturally. She had fully mastered the skill of washing clothes on the stone slab by the river through these days of learning and practice. When she performed, there was no difference from the little girls in the village, and there was no more unfamiliarity and clumsiness of the first time.

Quite a few staff members and actors were also watching behind the director. Although Shen Li was just doing the act of washing clothes in the lens, it was very captivating.

Because it was too real, after entering the role, one could see the tragic life behind her character through such a simple life lens.

And according to Director Xiang Tian's habit, all lenses basically had to be shot three times.

But today, Director Xiang decided not to shoot anymore after shooting the second take of Shen Li's lens, because the river water was really cold, and Shen Li had already performed very well.

Several actors praised Shen Li one after another: "Ah Li, the performance is especially good."

"I remember you couldn't do it at all the first time. I didn't expect that after only a few days, you actually learned it, and you can't see any disharmony at all!"

"Ah Li has been coming to the river to wash clothes whenever she has free time these days. I don't know how many pieces she has washed in these few days!"

Shen Li smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you everyone, it wasn't a particularly difficult thing originally. The little girls in this village all know how to wash, so I thought I must be able to learn it too."

At this time, Director Xiang Tian came over and looked at Shen Li with full appreciation: "You put your heart into the play and the role, and you are also willing to compete with yourself. This point is good and not good. Of course it's good for acting, but for yourself, sometimes being too stubborn will make you very tired."

However, Shen Li shook her head with a smile: "Director, I'm not afraid of being tired. On the contrary, I enjoy the joy after harvesting the results. This makes me feel very accomplished. I should be the only young actress who will wash clothes on a stone slab by the river, right?"

One sentence made everyone laugh.

Not far away, Sui Yu saw the harmonious scene of everyone surrounding Shen Li and laughing, secretly biting her lower lip.

"Sister Sui Yu, didn't you say before that Shen Li would cry in a few days? You misjudged the person."

Someone suddenly spoke behind her, startling Sui Yu.

Turning back, she found it was a new male actor named Xu Lang. They knew each other on the day they joined the crew.

And Sui Yu had indeed said this to several male actors at the time. She didn't expect this boomerang to shoot back today.

She chuckled awkwardly and pretended to be natural: "I was just joking, I'm also happy for her that she can persist."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, I certainly hope she is well."

Xu Lang glanced at her and didn't speak again.

And Sui Yu felt her butt was burning, stood up and said: "Going back, the next scene is coming soon."

After the group finished shooting the river scene and returned to the village, Shen Li saw A Pan running toward her from afar: "Ah Li!"

Seeing this, Shen Li quickened her pace and greeted her: "What's wrong?"

"Sister Kuan is here, here to visit your class!"
