Chapter 1379: Hotel and Stars

Secretary Xiao Zhu couldn't help but laugh: "I was just joking, why are you in such a hurry to express your consumption views? Are you afraid you're not a match?"

With Lu Chuan's face, how could he not be a match?

It's fortunate that he is also moved and likes Song Tan; otherwise, Secretary Xiao Zhu would feel that Song Tan would directly force the issue. But forcing it wouldn't be a big deal; if you like something, you must get it. As for whether you like it after getting it, that's another matter.

That's right, this is also her value system (? ω?).

No wonder she and the Song family are a perfect match!

Lu Chuan couldn't guess what she was thinking; Secretary Xiao Zhu was either smiling or serious, and he had never seen her expression break even for the biggest things, so who could guess it?

At this moment, he answered seriously:

"Song Tan has had a hard life since she was little, but she is exceptionally easy to satisfy. Tens of millions might not be enough for you or me, but it's already enough to ensure the peace and comfort of her family."

"Those unnecessary luxury goods, even if I took her there, she wouldn't like them."

Just after speaking, an arm was hooked onto his, and turning his head slightly, he saw Song Tan looking at him with a smile: "Lu Chuan, you speak really well."

Lu Chuan coughed: "It's nothing, you are already excellent. How much money you have, how to spend it, as long as you are happy, you don't need to listen to others."

Secretary Xiao Zhu went upstairs with a blank face, thinking that a single person is truly redundant.

The town hotel had a layout from decades ago, referring to every conventional teaching building; after going up the stairs, there was a long row of corridors, with half-glass windows on one side, which were still blue.

On the other side were regular small rooms.

Watching the hotel owner casually open the door and call them in to visit, Secretary Xiao Zhu checked the water heaters and air conditioners one by one. And the sheets and quilts...

Heaven have mercy, this quilt was still pure cotton! After being requested by the town, it was quickly sent over to be re-fluffed, and the four-piece set of sheets and quilts were all sent out again to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected...

Although they didn't speak, they tried their best to do the details well.

Now that the wind of cultural tourism is blowing all over the country, their place really has nothing to see, and no long history to boast about. After thinking about it, they had to do their best in attitude first.

Lu Chuan was curious: "Boss, how did you think of opening a hotel in the town back then?"

The boss sighed: "Don't look at how poor our town is now; decades ago, the wild tea and chestnuts on our mountains were quite popular, cheap, and in large quantities, and there were vendors everywhere coming here to collect them."

"The market opened in the middle of the night because farmers still had to work during the day. I thought, with so many people, spending thirty or fifty yuan to stay for a night would be fine, right?"

Song Tan also seemed to remember: "Back then, besides the acquisition market, the whole fair was lively. My grandmother would carry a vegetable basket in the middle of the night and walk two hours of mountain road to sell vegetables."

"Yes!" The boss also sighed: "Back then, money was useful, and people were willing to put in the effort. Not to mention selling vegetables, two or three hundred jin of chestnuts, the men in the family would have their waists bent, but they still carried them here..."

But soon after, it didn't work.

The market declined, and the hotel was ignored. But fortunately, building the house was cheap back then, and the boss made his money back after two years of liveliness. He didn't think of tearing it down or changing to a new business for a while, so he just operated it in such a mediocre way.

Unexpectedly, after twenty years, he finally earned a sum of money again!

Although the requirements were a bit much and it was a bit of a hassle—having to spend a hefty sum to fix the air conditioning and the water heater, and the price offered by the hotel wasn't high either—overall, it was still profitable.

When the time comes, hire two aunts from the town to clean up the hygiene; it's money for nothing!

Song Tan pushed open the window and found that behind the window, separated by the empty street, was the sparkling river water, with weeping willows on the bank sprouting new buds, a scene full of spring.

"Pretty good."

She gave her evaluation: "This hotel used to be very noisy in the morning, full of people going to the market, but now there are no people, and only a few households are left on this old street, so it couldn't be quieter for sleeping."

Then she asked curiously: "I heard that actors don't film scenes in order. Filming this segment today for 10 minutes, filming that segment tomorrow, maybe staying up all night... Is it really okay for a part of them to live in the town? The transportation here is still a bit poor."

"It's okay." Lu Chuan had followed the crew: "Most of the people living here aren't actors, but prop masters, makeup artists, and the like. They need to follow the crew every day, so just arrange two trips a day to pick them up and drop them off."

After looking through all the floors, Secretary Xiao Zhu was basically satisfied, then decisively signed the contract and gave the advance payment—no way, the director entrusted it!

Otherwise, they would be strangers in a strange land, waiting to be cheated.

And the wild grass in the middle of the fields connected together, she didn't pay attention when passing by today, don't know if it grew to a meter... Oh my, don't know when they will film that part, better grow taller!

The three of them walked around and completely threw the annoying matter of the police station aside.

And it was only then that Secretary Xiao Zhu received a call from the police station, her expression suddenly relaxing.

Hanging up the phone, she smiled at Song Tan: "Escaped death—the pesticide has deteriorated and evaporated."

Pesticide that has been expired for 20 years is still stable, but if it's left on the windowsill exposed to wind and sun and opened, if the toxicity is still stable, then this field should be deeply cultivated.

Song Tan struggled for a while.

If it were real pesticide, the punishment Old Lady Zhou would receive would definitely be something everyone would love to see.

But if it were real pesticide, Secretary Xiao Zhu's hard work for this year would basically be in vain—even if it's verified now that there is no toxicity, she will still inevitably be blamed, but it will be much better overall.

Thinking about it, for a person like Old Lady Zhou, as long as she is willing to handle it, there are plenty of ways to deal with her. But a leader as compatible as Secretary Xiao Zhu is hard to meet in 10 or 8 years!

Therefore, it's better that it's non-toxic.

Just as they were talking, Lu Chuan's phone also rang.

He opened it and couldn't help but laugh: "The two stars who booked three days in advance have arrived."

"Professional actors?" Secretary Xiao Zhu asked with slight curiosity.

"No." Lu Chuan explained: "They came from a talent show, but they flopped. However, they look good, and they were selected during the audition because their appearance was very suitable."

After all, talent show idols are known to be able to endure hardship and work hard. Domestic entertainment is a bit worse than a certain country in this regard, but they are already very outstanding among other routes in the entertainment industry.

It just so happens that the fantasy blockbuster needs graceful and good-looking movements, and only these little-known actors are willing to calm down and work hard.

He thought for a moment and evaluated objectively: "Acting skills are average, but they win in diligence. They can't compare to one or two decades ago, but they are already very rare in the current circle." ===== CHAPTER 1380 =====
