Chapter 146

Not a word was spoken all night.

The next day, the two picked up the banknotes scattered all over the floor and started their shopping trip together.

That 150,000 yuan was almost squandered away.

Flying Fairy Moutai.

It only sells for over 300 yuan a bottle now.

No need to say anything.

Even though Li Luo doesn't really like drinking white liquor, after asking clearly about the mall's inventory, he ordered ten cases directly. The sales clerk was almost stunned; who buys sixty bottles of liquor at once?

Xu Qing didn't care about him either.

She knew this guy would occasionally have some crazy, unpredictable operations.

They didn't know that the liquor worth over 300 yuan now could sell for 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a bottle in the future.

Investment is another matter.

With this stuff, it's also respectable to give as gifts later.

And he can drink it for fun when he has nothing to do.

Moutai was just the beginning. Next, the two went on a crazy shopping spree in this high-end mall specifically for members, buying all kinds of bedding, daily necessities, pots, pans, foreign liquor, and cigars.

With big customers arriving, the mall specifically arranged for several staff members to follow behind them.

As soon as they confirmed the items to buy, they packed and bagged them immediately.

The momentum was quite astonishing.

When it came time to pay, they thought they would swipe their cards with ease, but they didn't expect to take out a large bundle of crumpled banknotes like country bumpkins.

It made the sales clerk unable to hold back a smile.

The money counter clattered.

Li Luo noticed a young girl pick up a crumpled banknote and sniff it, and he couldn't help but smile.

Xu Qing beside him gave him a fierce pinch.

Having bought over 100,000 yuan worth of goods, the mall would naturally provide a home delivery service.

After settling the bill, the masked big spender left leisurely.

The mall staff didn't think much of it; although the coughing had passed, there were plenty of people wearing masks now, so it wasn't anything strange.

Xu Qing arrived at the courtyard and couldn't stop sighing in admiration.

When she came over last time, this place was still a scene of ruin.

Now it has taken on a brand new look.

It not only has the sturdiness of a Beijing courtyard house, but the rockery and pond also add a touch of tenderness from the Jiangnan water towns to this place.

Compared to Jiang Wen's courtyard house, it appears much more exquisite.

The part of the courtyard near the alley.

Is the dining room and kitchen.

The left side belongs to the rest area, with the living room and card room over there.

On the right side facing it are two bedrooms.

Li Luo enjoys the large main house all to himself, with a bedroom, study, walk-in closet, and so on, all fully equipped. There are also small corridors connecting the several rooms, which are used to avoid rain and snow.

Each functional area is divided neatly.

After taking the Beijing girl for a tour around the courtyard, the purchased items were also delivered right after.

The two immediately got busy.

Tidying up the courtyard with great interest until night fell.

Facing the noon sun.

Wu Yu held an exquisite vase and walked excitedly through the alley.

Arriving in front of the courtyard gate.

She pressed the electronic access control.

"Pa~"

A few seconds later, the vermilion gate popped open a crack inward.

"Come in."

Li Luo's voice sounded from the access control system.

"Alrighty."

Responding to the above, Wu Yu pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped inside.

At this moment, red paper was pasted everywhere in the courtyard. Although it was broad daylight, the house was brightly lit, exuding a sense of celebration.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Seeing the boss walking out from the side room, Wu Yu happily handed over the vase: "Congratulations on moving into your new home."

"Welcome."

Taking the vase, Li Luo greeted her inside: "Feel free to look around!"

"Wow~"

Walking inside, Wu Yu scanned her eyes everywhere and couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Boss, you are too capable of making a fuss. I said I wanted to come over to help yesterday, but you insisted that it wasn't necessary!!!"

Only a day apart, the living room had undergone a huge change.

The tea table was laid out with various fruits.

All kinds of snacks were piled up on a large plate.

The curtains fluttered in the wind, a large landscape painting hung on the wall, and a vase stood in the corner of the room, with colorful flowers that made one feel happy just looking at them.

The humidifier sprayed white water mist, soothing the dry air of Beijing.

Looking at it now.

It finally had the look of a home.

"It's fine, I can handle it alone."

Li Luo signaled Wu Yu to sit down and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to stuff into her hand: "You are a guest today, don't be polite at all. Eat and drink as you please, don't save money for Brother Luo."

The Hunan girl is an assistant.

Not a maid.

You can't let the other party do everything.

"Alrighty."

Wu Yu nibbled on melon seeds with a grin and asked curiously: "The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes has wrapped up, what about our next play?"

"It's already been decided."

Li Luo sat comfortably on the sofa and threw a grape into his mouth: "The new play is called Divine Physician Heroic Couple, and it starts filming in three days, still in Zhuozhou. You should get a good rest these few days."

"Mm."

Wu Yu continued to busy herself nibbling on melon seeds.

Adding these two days, it's equivalent to a week's vacation; there's nothing to be dissatisfied about.

During the small talk.

The response system on the wall buzzed.

Li Luo got up to press the electronic door lock and walked out quickly to welcome them.

Nibbling on the melon seeds in her hand, Wu Yu looked outside curiously. Only after hearing a "Teacher, hello" did she see her boss bring a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle inside. Listening to their conversation, this was the boss's homeroom teacher.

She hurriedly got up to greet him.

From this moment on, it was like a starting gun going off.

People arrived one after another.

First was her old leader, Zhang Long.

After apologizing that Wu Zong had something to do and couldn't make it, Manager Zhang presented the boss with a painting.

Wu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Not long after.

Jia Jingwen appeared quietly with her assistant, offering a colorful fruit basket.

This is the female lead who has collaborated with the boss.

Being able to come and congratulate.

Is not a very strange thing.

Wu Yu continued to get up, nodding and smiling at them.

Then, a beautiful figure came into view: seven-point casual pants, a white loose T-shirt. Although she had short hair, that smiling face brightened the time.

Ren Yingying!!!

Wu Yu opened her mouth wide.

Soon she reacted again; in Xiao Ao Jianghu, the boss had a collaboration with her.

Establishing a friendship is not surprising.

No need to say anything.

As the bottom of the food chain, she still had to greet her hurriedly.

But the person who appeared next was completely beyond Wu Yu's expectations. She bit the nut in her mouth with a crunch and immediately reached a conclusion in her heart: it seems her boss really does have a Beijing circle background!

Not just Wu Yu.

Even Jia Jingwen's expression was slightly surprised.

She never expected that this guy could actually come into contact with people in the film circle, and even one of her own classmates came.

"Brother Wen."

Li Luo walked out of the courtyard with a smile and shook hands with Jiang Wen, who had taken off his sunglasses: "Welcome, welcome. Thank you for introducing the renovation team to me. You must drink a few cups with me today."

"A must."

Jiang Wen looked left and right and nodded with satisfaction: "Your courtyard is not bad; I have one more place to drink in the future."

"Thinking about this kind of thing all day long."

Zhou Yun complained about Jiang Wen and handed over the wine bottle in her hand with a smile: "Look, Xiao Luo, your Brother Wen was talking about this bottle of stuff yesterday, saying he had to drink it with you today!"

"He even said that drinking 82 Lafite is not as good as drinking 82 Moutai."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law."

Li Luo took the wine bottle from her hand and thanked her straightforwardly.

Outside the bottle.

Wrapped in a layer of tissue paper.

It was dirty; one look and you could tell it had some age!

This "Sister-in-law."

Made Zhou Yun beam with joy.

Noticing Jiang Wen looking at Li Luo with an unnatural expression, she glared at him sharply, and the latter immediately scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh.

Not continuing to examine the wine in his hand, Li Luo looked at the third woman standing beside the two. Jiang Wen had said before that he would bring a friend, but he didn't expect that the person who came was also a big girl in the Beijing circle.

Not as good as Xu Qing.

But her status in the circle is not bad either.

Like Jiang Yiyan, the other party also follows a talented woman persona.

It's just that.

This woman does indeed have some talent.

The movie "Go Lala Go!" she directed made her the first female director in the country to have a box office exceeding 100 million.

This person's personality.

Is also unique.

After latching onto a big shot's thigh, she went straight to someone else's house to force the legitimate wife to abdicate.

If you want to put it nicely.

You could also praise her as daring to love and hate.

"This is Old Xu."

Seeing this, Jiang Wen immediately introduced her to Li Luo: "Xu Jinglei, also your senior, a well-known talented woman. Everyone is a friend. She also has time today, so we just came over to hang out together."

"Go to hell with your well-known talented woman."

Xu Jinglei pushed Jiang Wen and extended her hand generously: "Hello, junior, I've long admired your name. Sorry for the intrusion today!"

While speaking.

Her gaze kept scanning Li Luo.

Eyes filled with appreciation.

Her expression appeared quite satisfied.

It made Li Luo feel a chill in his heart, not knowing what the other party was up to.

No matter who it is, as long as they want to play around.

They all need some capital.

This female sea king's capital is quite good, not referring to her figure, but the refreshing temperament she gives off.

Her fresh and natural appearance also makes people feel good about her immediately.

"Hello, Senior."

Holding her slightly cold hand, he expressed his welcome: "Not an intrusion at all. As for the 'long admired your name' you mentioned, if it's Brother Wen saying something about me again, then I'll have to ask him for a male lead role to act in!"

Xu Jinglei's eyelashes trembled.

Even if she cramped her thighs, she couldn't earn that much money.

She didn't expect.

That it would reach the level of casual complaining.

"Hahaha."

Xu Qing walked out of the side room and teased Jiang Wen, who was about to get angry: "You'll have to wait if you want to act as a male lead for Director Jiang. If I remember correctly, he is still banned from directing."

Zhou Yun laughed along with her.

At the beginning, everyone didn't dare to mention this topic much.

But as Jiang Wen began to get in touch with work, being banned from directing also became a matter of entertainment for teasing.

The people inside followed Xu Qing and walked out one after another.

Greeting each other.

Jia Jingwen said "old classmate" to Xu Jinglei, which instantly brought a bit of liveliness to the scene's atmosphere.

Everyone then unexpectedly discovered.

It turns out the two of them had also briefly been classmates for a year.

Up to this point.

Li Luo's guests for today had basically all arrived.

The others were either busy or too lazy to call. If he really opened his mouth, most of the classmates in the class would probably rush over, but he wanted to have a small gathering, not to put on such a big show.

The mahjong machine started, and a group of people pushed the "Great Wall" with a clatter.

The rest.

Were either watching the game.

Or chatting and watching TV.

Anyway, coming over is just to be lively; having fun is enough.

Arriving at three in the afternoon, Li Luo pushed the mahjong tiles over.

Swapping Zhang Long in to play.

He crossed the side gate, walked into the small corridor, moved to the dining room, and then plunged into the kitchen, picking up a kitchen knife and starting to chop away.

Living in the courtyard has this benefit.

Each room does its own thing, and everyone doesn't disturb each other.

Moving into a new home naturally requires a family banquet.

Craftsmanship is another matter.

The intention must be in place.

Xu Qing followed into the kitchen wanting to help, but was quickly kicked out by Li Luo.

Someone who has never done any manual labor.

She can't even pick vegetables; it's good enough if she doesn't make things worse!

Wu Yu automatically rolled up her sleeves to work. She was quite nimble, and with the two of them working together, the sound of pots and ladles colliding soon rang out in the kitchen, and a faint fragrance drifted over the sky of Beijing.

"Dinner is served~~~"

Pushing open the window, Li Luo shouted outside.

The crowd playing over there got up immediately, chatting and laughing as they crossed the courtyard and came to the dining room.

"Impressive!"

Jia Jingwen looked at the various dishes on the large round table, widened her eyes, and gave Li Luo a thumbs up: "I didn't expect you to have this skill."

"Xiao Luo's craftsmanship is indeed not bad."

Jiang Wen rubbed his hands and excitedly opened the 82 Moutai: "When playing cards at my house, he often cooked late-night snacks. I won't say anything else, but the taste is guaranteed to go well with rice."

With Li Luo hosting, everyone took their seats one after another.

He sat in the main seat without hesitation, and Teacher Professor Huo Xuan was the guest of honor.

As for the others, just be casual.

Moutai was poured out.

The rich fragrance drifted throughout the entire restaurant.

"I'll say a few words."

Looking at the familiar faces, Li Luo stood up with his cup and signaled happily in a circle: "First sentence, eat well. Second sentence."

"Drink well."

Everyone said in unison.

Amidst the laughter filling the hall, they sipped the mellow aged Moutai one after another.

"Hmm?"

Xu Jinglei picked up a small piece of duck meat with an attractive color and put it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly chewed a few times and swallowed: "Junior Li Luo, what dish is this that you made?"

"Lemon Duck."

Li Luo picked up his small wine cup and signaled to this senior.

Women, after all.

Just like eating this kind of sour, refreshing, and delicious food.

Even Xu Qing, who rarely eats meat, can never resist the temptation of this dish.

She has eaten too many hotel dishes.

Home-cooked meals are rare; the whole meal was a happy one for both host and guests.

Professor Huo Xuan, Jia Jingwen, and Zhang Long had things to do and soon said goodbye and left. After Wu Yu helped clean up the bowls and chopsticks, she also went back to rest.

Leaving Jiang Wen, Xu Qing, and a few idlers.

Continuing the mahjong game.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Wen, whose face was slightly flushed from drinking, threw out the tiles in his hand.

"Pretty good."

Xu Jinglei was full of smiles and ponged that tile of his.

"You can't cheat so openly, can you?" Xu Qing rolled her eyes at the two.

"You've got it wrong."

Jiang Wen grabbed the mahjong tile in his hand and tapped the table, looking across: "Xiao Luo, coming over today, actually there is a serious matter to discuss with you."

"Self-drawn Pure One-Suit."

Li Luo flipped the tiles very decisively and grabbed the cigar on the side:

"Brother Wen, go ahead."

"Pa~"

Xu Jinglei slapped her own hand and pushed the three tiles away:

"I'm really convinced!"

Several tiles were exactly the same; what Li Luo had just drawn was clearly the only remaining tile.

She had ponged the kong tile away and even suffered a self-drawn Pure One-Suit, which made Zhou Yun, who was on the side, smile with pursed lips.
