Chapter 778: This Was Snatched from Shen Ci's Hands
"Hello." Yang Guochun said with a smile: "You look very beautiful. Do you have any thoughts about making movies?"
Qiu Keying looked at her father with a smile, and heard Qiu Chu say: "Director Yang, don't tease her. My daughter hasn't suffered much since she was a child. Making movies is so hard. If she really goes, it will be adding trouble to Director Yang. I guess she will come back crying in two days."
Hearing this, Yang Guochun couldn't help but laugh.
Qiu Keying hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to speak: "I've watched many of Uncle Yang's movies. I didn't expect you to have collaborated with my father's company before. I recognized you from afar just now when I saw you chatting with others."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I saw Uncle Yang chatting quite happily just now."
Yang Guochun laughed: "I just pulled in an investment, so naturally I'm happy."
Without waiting for others to speak, he took the initiative to say: "I just finished a movie not long ago, and post-production is short of funds. It just so happened that a friend introduced an investor to me. The other party was also straightforward and decided to invest one thousand yuan without saying a word."
Qiu Chu didn't take it to heart after hearing it. It is very common for film and television projects to pull in investments. The more sufficient the funds, the more refined the production. Directors certainly hope for more investment.
But Qiu Keying took the opportunity to say at this time: "Why didn't Uncle Yang ask my father to invest?"
This question actually stumped Yang Guochun.
His smile stiffened on his face, and he looked at Qiu Chu with some embarrassment.
Fortunately, Qiu Chu reacted quickly and helped him explain: "When has our company ever been involved in the film and television industry?"
Yang Guochun gave two dry laughs and nodded in agreement: "That's true..."
"Everything has a first time, as long as it can make money." Qiu Keying said seriously: "And one thousand yuan is not a lot. I believe Uncle Yang's film will definitely make money."
She said this, making Yang Guochun quite happy.
Arrogant people are like this; they like to be flattered, especially since Qiu Keying said it very seriously.
Qiu Chu also smiled, nodded along with his daughter's words and said: "That's true. Then Director Yang can try to talk to me next time you have a good project. Although I have no experience in the film and television industry, as Keying said, following you to invest shouldn't be wrong."
"Oh, if Qiu Dong is interested, that would be great. Next time for sure."
He thought this topic should end here, but he didn't expect Qiu Keying to blurt out on the side: "Why wait for next time? Let's do it this time!"
"Ah?" Yang Guochun was stunned.
Qiu Chu looked at his daughter and said: "Your Uncle Yang has already talked it over this time."
"That's just 'talked' it over, and the contract hasn't been signed yet. Uncle Yang, you have collaborated with my father; you can be considered old friends. It's better than you going to find someone else and owing them a favor."
Qiu Keying was determined to snatch food from Shen Ci's mouth and said stubbornly: "Dad, I want to invest in Uncle Yang. You give one thousand yuan as if you are lending it to me. Once it makes money, I will pay you back."
"You... aren't you just playing the white wolf with empty hands?" Qiu Chu said with a helpless smile.
Qiu Keying raised her eyebrows and insisted: "Anyway, I want to invest. Uncle Yang, who invests doesn't matter, right? You wouldn't even give my father this face, would you?"
One sentence put Yang Guochun on the spot again.
"This..." He looked at Qiu Chu and asked hesitantly: "Qiu Dong, is this child serious?"
Qiu Chu couldn't do anything about his daughter either, and said helplessly: "She wants to do one thing after another. If Director Yang doesn't find it difficult, then count this investment on Keying's head. Let her experience it and satisfy her addiction to being an investor."
He was willing to spend one thousand yuan to make his daughter happy.
And it wasn't entirely nonsense; investing in Yang Guochun's project would likely make money.
His daughter had also grown up, and trying to invest in some projects was a good thing.
Qiu Keying happily grabbed her father's hand: "Thank you, Dad!"
Yang Guochun also nodded: "Since Qiu Dong has said so, then I will definitely accept Qiu Dong's favor. As your daughter said, we are old friends after all, and we must be more tacit and trusting of each other."
As for Miss Shen, it was indeed just a verbal promise. When he finds an excuse to fool her tomorrow, the other party won't have any extra thoughts.
The happiest one was Qiu Keying. She had snatched this thing from Shen Ci's hands.
She would tell Li Xiao this good news when she went back tonight. He would definitely be very happy when he knew.
Shen Ci had no idea what happened afterward and drank cup after cup with Su Zheyuan, extremely happy.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, the service staff pushed out a huge five-layer cake, and the people in the courtyard surrounded it upon seeing it.
And Master Yu finally appeared at this time. He was seen coming out of the villa door supported by Wan Hu, and applause erupted at the scene instantly.
Master Yu nodded to the crowd with a smile and stood still in front of the cake cart.
"Sorry to trouble everyone for this trip today. I don't know how many more times this old bone of mine can be lively. Thank you all for your presence."
Master Yu's tone was very gentle and soft, but the sound pressure was extremely high, and every word could clearly fall into the ears of the people at the scene.
It is said that old people are worse off year by year.
But looking at Master Yu's state in front of them, the crowd's respect for him was even greater. There was no change compared to previous years, and he even felt more solid and sturdy.
This path of longevity is not about dragging a broken and sick body to survive.
It should be like Master Yu to be called longevity.
So everyone who can come to Master Yu's birthday every year will definitely come, and the next segment is also a fixed item every year.
The cake on Master Yu's birthday only lights one candle every year, and the person who lights the candle is randomly selected by Master Yu from the predestined people at the scene every year.
Everyone calls the candle on Master Yu's cake the longevity lamp, and the person who lights it will have good luck.
Shen Ci was participating for the first time, so she didn't know about this, so when Master Yu beckoned to her, she was still clueless.
"Child, come."
Master Yu smiled kindly and beckoned to Shen Ci.
Everyone's eyes at the scene focused on Shen Ci, and Su Zheyuan jumped up excitedly: "A-Ci, it's you! Go quickly, go quickly!"
Shen Ci blinked cluelessly and was almost pushed up by Su Zheyuan.
"Hello, Master Yu. We meet again."
The moment she went up, Shen Ci adjusted her expression and wished Master Yu a happy birthday respectfully: "I wish you eternal enjoyment of immortal blessings and longevity as long as the heavens."
Shen Jingjing and Jiang Yuanliang in the audience also smiled when they saw this. Jiang Yuanliang whispered a few words in Shen Jingjing's ear, and Shen Jingjing widened her eyes in shock, then looked at her daughter on the stage excitedly.
And Qiu Keying on the other side was biting her lip in jealousy. How come all the good things happen to her?
Master Yu just took a glance and could pick her out from so many people to light the longevity lamp?
Why wasn't it her who was picked! ===== CHAPTER 779 =====
