Chapter 106: Isn't It a Loss!

Returning to Beijing.

Li Luo drove the Grand Cherokee straight to Changhong Film and Television.

Promotion isn't something you can settle with a meal, and it involves more than one city, so the related itinerary needs to be communicated clearly in person.

Looking at the traffic on the road, he felt a sense of being in another world; he had been in the crew for almost two months, and finally welcomed a rare rest, although it was only a few short days, and there was a massive amount of promotional work.

But that work intensity compared to filming.

Was no less than a vacation.

During filming, it's very normal for actors to cooperate with promotion when a new show airs.

It's not like they're juggling multiple shows.

Under normal circumstances, the crew has to cooperate.

"Ding~"

The elevator door opened, and unlike the situation before,

Changhong Film and Television was incredibly busy at this time; people were coming and going at the front desk, and there was a pile of promotional materials.

He ran into Zhang Long head-on.

That guy was holding a promotional poster, nodding repeatedly while looking at it.

On the poster.

He occupied the middle position.

Standing sideways.

Striking forward with his palm.

Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan stood on his left and right; the former also struck a free and easy pose, her expression looking quite playful.

The latter pulled out half of the Heavenly Sword.

Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Above the elevation, there was a row of small avatars with different expressions.

The "Iron Triangle" led by Zhang Guoli was in the middle, and Xu Jinjiang, Shi Xiaolong, Guo Feili, Tao Hong, and others were lined up.

Every position occupied had its own logic.

This stuff couldn't be arranged randomly.

"Looking back and forth." Walking to Zhang Long's side, he pointed happily at the top of the poster: "The two words 'Li Luo' still look the most handsome, don't they?"

"Hey."

Hearing his voice, Zhang Long turned back in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't be able to come until the afternoon."

Counting it up.

They hadn't seen each other for more than two months!

"Zhuozhou isn't far."

Li Luo extended his fist, smiling and bumping it with the other party: "After receiving your call, I definitely had to rush back the first time."

"Go to the conference room first."

Zhang Long rolled up the poster nimbly and handed it to a staff member on the side: "It just so happens that Jingwen and Yuanyuan also just arrived at the company, let's say it all together, no need to repeat it later."

"Alright."

He hadn't seen those two for a long time, and Li Luo missed them very much.

Just about to move.

Another staff member stopped Zhang Long and handed over a thick stack of resumes: "Manager, this is the list after preliminary screening, take a look when you have time, and set a time for the interview."

"Okay."

Zhang Long took the papers and continued to walk forward.

He noticed Li Luo's gaze staring over and slowed his pace slightly: "Any problem?"

"Interview?"

Li Luo looked at his hand.

"Artist assistants and company staff." Zhang Long patted the resumes in his hand, yawning: "Some artists like to use relatives and friends, but some are equipped by the company."

"It's just a routine recruitment."

"Can I take a look?"

Li Luo scratched his cheek and asked shamelessly.

He needed to find an assistant.

But after thinking about it, he decided it was better to find an outsider.

If you find a relative by your side, they will be insatiable if you give them too much, and it's easy to be pointed at if you give them too little, and they are doing nanny-type work, to be honest, he would also feel very awkward.

Finding an outsider is simple; trust can be built slowly.

Anyway, they take money to work.

If it doesn't work, just change them.

"You want to find an assistant?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Long immediately knew what Li Luo wanted to do, his pace not stopping: "That's right, people's energy is always limited. What type of assistant do you want to find? I'll recommend a few to you."

"Most of these are novices."

He patted the resumes in his hand and continued: "They still need to be trained for a period of time, even if I give them to you, it's useless."

The job of an assistant looks simple.

In reality, it's not easy.

Not only do they need to serve tea and water, but they also have to take care of the actor's living habits and dietary preferences, especially the chaotic schedule and long-term business trips; not everyone can handle it.

Not to mention anything else, joining a crew means several months.

Filming means day and night are reversed.

Those with weak stress resistance can't last long before they have to run.

Just these newcomers in hand.

Let alone helping.

It's good if they don't add trouble!

Their relationship is quite good, since there is a need, he doesn't mind recommending one or two.

"Thank you, Brother Long."

Li Luo was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Help me find a woman, she must be careful in her work, don't be too talkative, I plan to give a salary of two thousand yuan a month, see if there is anyone suitable."

"Yo-ho!"

Zhang Long stopped and raised the resumes in his hand: "You kid are generous enough, do you know how much these people's salaries are?"

"800 for the internship period, 1500 after becoming a regular."

"Such treatment is already extremely good, and there are so many resumes that I can't read them all."

An actor's life assistant, as long as the employer isn't too much of a pit, has very few other expenses in daily life; a monthly salary of two thousand yuan, with food and housing provided, is truly something people can fight for.

"This job is tiring."

Li Luo spread his hands with a smile: "Give more money, won't others be more attentive when working?"

Two thousand yuan.

He really doesn't care now.

Instead of being stingy, it's better to be generous, making people work wholeheartedly; Li Luo hates companies that talk about "wolf culture" but feed their employees grass.

"No problem."

Zhang Long threw a betel nut into his mouth and chewed hard: "As long as there is money, I'm not afraid of not finding anyone."

"I'll help you look for a few in a while."

As he spoke, he pushed open the conference room door.

"Brother Wu, Jingwen, Yuanyuan,"

Seeing the familiar faces in the room, Li Luo waved and greeted them happily.

After communicating the promotional work.

Li Luo declined Wu Dun's invitation to a banquet and drove straight toward Shichahai.

There wasn't much time.

But there were quite a few things to do.

*Ping Zong Xia Ying* filming was more than halfway through, and the second and third installments of the acting fee were received on time; Li Luo, holding a huge sum of more than 1.3 million, naturally wanted to find a place of his own.

Money in hand will only become less valuable.

But buying a house.

Is absolutely a profitable business.

Commercial housing is fine, just buy it with your eyes closed, as long as it's within the Third Ring Road, it will rise sharply.

However, Li Luo now wants to buy a house for himself to live in, which requires careful searching; if the relationship isn't in place, you can't find a good house with this million or so.

Fortunately, Xu Qing was idle in Beijing and helped find a few places.

Just in time to take a look while back in Beijing.

He saw the familiar Mercedes G-Wagon from afar, Li Luo stepped on the brake and stopped steadily beside the other party.

Seeing the woman wearing sunglasses inside.

He showed a brilliant smile.

Xu Qing also took off her face mask, looking all smiles.

The small dimples were quite charming.

Under the other party's signal, he drove forward a distance and parked on the side.

"Bang."

Just closed the car door.

Xu Qing was pulled into his arms by Li Luo, who walked over quickly from the side, and her whole person was enveloped by the other party's aura; not only did he hold her, but his hands also unceremoniously kneaded her buttocks.

After a while of kneading dough.

The Beijing big girl became breathless, her legs staggering.

Nearly unable to stand steady.

"Xiao Luo."

She struggled for a bit and hammered her fists against his broad chest: "Don't do this, there are people!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Luo didn't care about the painless attack, pulled off half of the other party's face mask, and said with a smile: "Everyone is wrapped up like a big bear, who can tell who is who!"

Looking at the red lips within reach.

He couldn't hold back anymore.

He leaned Xu Qing against the body of the Mercedes G-Wagon and cherished the moment for a while.

Only then did he help the other party put on her face mask.

The two smiled at each other, fingers intertwined, and walked out of the parking spot, turning into a young couple, strolling forward slowly.

People like them who are wrapped up tightly.

Are really not in the minority.

So he wasn't afraid of feeling abrupt.

It's rare to have such an opportunity to stroll the streets with Li Luo, Xu Qing's mouth couldn't stop smiling, and her head leaned on the other party's shoulder, like a couple in hot love.

"Is the house nearby?"

Li Luo looked around; the hutong was quite spacious, and there were many places to park.

"That's right."

Xu Qing's small face under the mask looked disgusted: "Why are you buying these broken bungalows? Don't look at how Jiang Wen cleaned his place up beautifully, the money he spent on renovation is more than the money to buy the house!"

"And your money can't buy a proper courtyard house."

"With this money."

She couldn't help but persuade again: "You could buy two or three new apartment units, isn't it a loss?"

In Xu Qing's view.

Of course, apartments are comfortable.

At worst, you can go to the suburbs to buy a villa; the cost-effectiveness of buying a single courtyard is really not high.

"Absolutely not a loss."

Li Luo pinched her face: "As long as you live comfortably, besides, there will be more people living in apartment buildings later, being able to stay in a bungalow courtyard without being disturbed by upstairs and downstairs is a kind of enjoyment."

"Not only am I buying, if you have spare money, it's best to buy one or two units."

"It will rise a lot later."

"Don't."

Xu Qing hurriedly shook her head and said crisply: "I won't buy it, experts on the news yesterday were saying that housing prices will fall soon, it's already more than five thousand yuan per square meter."

"It will fall sooner or later."

Let alone her, many people now hold this view.

They all feel that current housing prices have gone crazy.

It will fall sooner or later.

Li Luo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

But he didn't need to worry about this for the other party; whether it rises or falls, Xu Qing won't be short of this little money.

Arriving at a hutong, the two soon separated.

The people from the housing management office had been waiting early, and after some polite exchanges, several people pushed open the dilapidated vermilion door to visit this small courtyard; to say it looked dilapidated outside, the feeling inside was ruinous.

Weeds were growing everywhere.

A withered yellow ginkgo tree in the middle of the courtyard.

A breeze blew, making the windows rattle, and also making Xu Qing's eyebrows wrinkle into a knot.

"Little Wu."

Looking at the person from the housing management office on the side, she asked in a muffled voice: "Why does this house look like it hasn't been lived in for a long time?"

Xu Qing had never seen such a broken courtyard.

The disgust was overflowing.

Unlike her, Li Luo was full of interest, running around.

"Sister Xu."

The Little Wu in Xu Qing's mouth replied hurriedly: "Actually, what we want is that no one lives in it, the property rights are clear, this house is quite upright, the main frame is quite intact, it just looks dilapidated."

"But the foundation is really good, renovate it and it will be a good house."

He didn't say this falsely.

He knew everything about the courtyards nearby, good or bad.

The other party was wrapped up tightly, and he didn't know where she came from, but she was definitely someone he couldn't afford to offend.

If it weren't for the direct leader suddenly having something to do today.

It wouldn't be his turn to come over.

"How big?"

Li Luo looked at the layout and liked it very much.

"280 square meters."

Little Wu could see who the buyer was and stepped forward to introduce the situation of the house.

This single-door, single-courtyard of nearly 300 square meters was quite square; the place where you enter the gate was a front courtyard of ten square meters, and after passing through the moon gate, you arrived at the main courtyard, with rooms on all four sides, although it looked a bit mottled.

But the main structure was fine.

The location was right by Shichahai, and you could see the lake and water after walking for a while.

The location was excellent.

Li Luo didn't care at all about what was inside; it's good to be broken, if it weren't broken, the price wouldn't come down.

Anyway, it had to be renovated.

It was just the price reported by the other party that made him troubled.

2.2 million.

This price actually wasn't expensive.

It was just now; later, it would be almost impossible to take it down.

Buying a courtyard house is different from commercial housing; you must pay the full amount at once, so there's no way to talk about a down payment or something.

Of course, he didn't show it.

After seeing a few places.

After saying goodbye to the people from the housing management office, Li Luo and Xu Qing dived into Kaorouwan.

Sitting in the private room.

The face mask that had been wrapped for several hours was finally taken off.

Flipping through it casually, Li Luo closed the menu: "Bring a pot of roast beef, a pot of mutton, and two light side dishes."

Coming to this time-honored brand, just eat the signature dishes.

The side dishes were prepared for Xu Qing, and he would basically eat the two catties of beef and mutton himself.

"How is it?"

Xu Qing picked up the tea and rinsed the bowl for Li Luo: "Actually, the courtyards today are about the same, just the difference in size, the prices given are real prices, it just depends on what layout you like."

As long as there are no outsiders.

When eating out, no matter if it's clean or not, Li Luo always rinses the bowl.

Xu Qing was used to this strange habit of his.

Sometimes when she was in a good mood, she would take the initiative to help rinse.

"Talk about it later."

Looking at Xu Qing who was stirring the tea in the cup seriously, Li Luo leaned toward her position and placed his hand on her plump thigh: "Buying a house, how can you decide after looking at it once."

"Not enough money, right?"

The Beijing big girl crossed her legs, pressed down the hand he reached over, and smiled playfully at the same time: "Looks like you've taken a fancy to the 280-square-meter one."

"That's right, the others are cheap, they are cheap."

"The courtyard is too small."

People like them buy whatever they like directly.

Hesitation only has one reason.

Not enough money.

"Mm~"

Seen through by the other party, Li Luo didn't show a trace of embarrassment, moving his clamped hand calmly: "Let's buffer for a while, the courtyard of a hundred or so square meters is too small, you have to yield to people when walking."

"I'll have money by the end of the year."

"Don't." 【106-

Xu Qing took a deep breath, clenching her thigh muscles tightly to keep him from moving around: "I'll get you a million. Although I don't really like this kind of house, there are quite a few people who do."

"If you miss this village, you won't find this shop."

"Are you sure?"

Li Luo's hand movements stopped.

"Sure."

Small dimples appeared on Xu Qing's face, and she said triumphantly: "Sitting next to you is a little rich woman. I wouldn't dare say more, but getting you one or two million is absolutely no problem."

"Not getting."

Li Luo emphasized: "It's borrowing."

There is really nothing to hesitate about with this kind of house; it's just a matter of how fast one acts.

Just a temporary turnover; buy it first and talk later.

"Fine, fine, fine."

Xu Qing gently bit her lip and gave him a flirtatious wink: "Then, student Li Luo, how do you plan to pay this interest?"
